On the river.

Different from the torrential rain in Huangzhou, at this time the river was just a thin rain curtain, the sky was overcast and almost touched the green hills on both sides of the river, and the warships slowly moved west against the wind and rain. Qizhou is located in the northwest of Xing**, adjacent to Huangzhou, and it can be regarded as the last line of defense of the Southern Song Dynasty in the north of the Hunan and Jiangxi Mountains.

It's just that there are one or two lonely cities, and in the face of the overwhelming Mongolian cavalry, there is almost no resistance, so it can only be regarded as a buffer zone left by Mongolia to the Southern Song Dynasty. In addition, the city of Qizhou was originally located on the bank of the river, so it was easy to be attacked by the Southern Song Dynasty sailors, and the Mongolian side naturally regarded it as a chicken rib.

But this time the Mongolian cavalry made a detour to attack the flank of Huangzhou, and if they left the nail of Qizhou behind, it would naturally be equivalent to attacking the enemy's flank while also exposing their flanks.

Overcast skies, fine smoke and rain.

Lu Hideo, who was standing at the bow of the boat, took a deep breath, and there was no longer the stuffiness of midsummer in the air. And in front of him, a majestic city at the end of the green mountain has appeared.

There was a sound of walking behind him, Xia Song frowned slightly and walked over: "Lu Tongju, there is Qizhou City ahead, this city is built near the river, it is quite majestic, does Lu Tongjuan plan to attack now or wait until the night to sneak attack?" ”

Lu Xiufu knew that if he attacked strongly, with the few naval warships in Xia Song's hands, it would be difficult to play a big role, and if the Tianwu army was allowed to fight on land, it was even more likely to be counter-charged by the Mongolian cavalry in the city, and it would be extremely difficult to even retreat, let alone attack the city.

At this moment, a small boat that had been parked on the riverside suddenly unveiled its cable and came directly down the river towards the scattered fleet of Song Army's naval divisions, and a warship hurriedly sailed out of the queue to meet the small boat.

In less than a cup of tea, a young man with a somewhat thin figure hurriedly walked up: "Qi Yu Tongju, general, the news from Qizhou City has been sent that there are only more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in Qizhou, and they are all Mongolian Han soldiers, as for the Mongolian cavalry, they have all set up camp to attack Huangzhou, which means that Qizhou City is almost empty!" ”

"Guo Dutong, this matter is not child's play, seriously?" Xia Song's face showed joy.

And Lu Xiufu glanced at Guo Chang, the news is accurate, Ye Yingwu set up the Jinyi Guard and the Six Doors He also knows, and what kind of effect these two departments similar to the Imperial City Division and the Walking Horse can play, Lu Xiufu, who was once a close minister of Li Tingzhi's shogunate, is naturally clear about this.

"Without further ado, take Qizhou immediately!" Lu Xiufu laughed loudly, "God really help me!" In this way, even if the back road of the Tartars is not cut off, they can attack the Tartar army with the main force of the Tianwu Army. ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Sons, kill the Tartars with so-and-so!" Su Liuyi's body was covered in muddy water, the long knife roared, and in an instant, the Mongolian foot soldiers in front of him had fallen to the ground screaming. And more Song soldiers roared and pounced on him from his side, leaving only a series of figures looming in the wind and rain.

The sound of horses' hooves vibrate, and the more than 1,000 personal guard cavalry led by Heda did not directly attack the front of the camp that had been entangled and had long been indistinguishable, but went around in a big circle and rushed straight towards the direction of Huangzhou City. There was dense rain in all directions, so unless the distance was close, it was not clear that there was such a large cavalry team rushing directly in the direction of the Huangzhou City Gate.

The hooves of the four thousand horses stepped down and lifted up quickly on the muddy ground, countless mud spots and water droplets splashed, and apart from the sound of trampling the mud, the men and horses barely made any sound.

Looking at the Mongolian iron horse that suddenly broke out of the wind and rain not far ahead, Su Liuyi took a long breath, but he couldn't allow him to react, and subconsciously Su Liuyi roared angrily, as if the resentment that had accumulated in his chest for so many days was transmitted with this roar!

Fortunately, Su Liuyi was not stupid enough to send out all the soldiers, and more than 100 personal soldiers soon rushed up from both sides, closely guarding their generals, don't look at this is only more than 100 people, but they are all real heavy armor soldiers, and they are also giant axe soldiers who once made the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom fearful.

The soldiers in heavy iron armor took heavy steps in the wind and rain, and thanks to their heavy clothes, they have been nested in the city for two days, and they are not even qualified to go to the city. For these soldiers who were originally selected from among the strong soldiers, it was enough to be trapped in this stormy lonely city, and now they can finally go out of the city to fight, but who would have thought that the Mongol Tartars had collapsed, and they were not as fast as the foot soldiers who rushed in front of them, so they could only advance silently behind.

And now it's as if God has sent the opportunity to them!

These are thousands of Mongol Tatar cavalry, and they are not at all heavyweight with the Mongol Han soldiers who are being chased and killed.

All the heavy armor soldiers stood in the wind and rain, like a row of unfolded tin cans. Although the wind and rain blocked the sun, the giant axe in their hands was still daunting. The Song Dynasty, a militarily weak dynasty, created a meat grinder for heavy armor warfare!

In the eyes behind the step armor, the flames were blazing!

They didn't sing, they didn't roar, they just walked slowly forward to the sound of a single slogan. More muddy water splashed and hit their armor.

"Divine Arm Crossbow!" The rain was blowing along the wind, and Su Liuyi roared angrily.

Hundreds of Song crossbowmen stood up sharply from behind the heavily armored soldiers and pulled the trigger at the same time. The crossbow of the divine arm, which was also a nightmare for the cavalry, erupted at this moment, and the arrow sank into the chest of the cavalry in front, and a cavalryman fell off his horse, but more people were so fearless in the wind and rain, the arrows, and the death to urge the war horse!

"Kill!" Su Liu Yi squeezed out the last trace of strength from the depths of his chest.

The two sides collided in the next moment!

The saber slashed at the infantry armor, even if it was extremely powerful, it was only a shallow pit, but the oncoming giant axe often cut off the horse's head with an axe, and the cavalry on the horse could only fall off the horse's back with a muffled snort, and more cavalry had already stepped on him in the next moment.

More than 100 heavily armored soldiers were like a reef, and the black cavalry wave slapped on it, and after a while, it turned into countless droplets. The torrential rain had washed away the blood from the ground, as if the blood that had flowed from the severed arms and limbs had seeped deep into the ground.

However, the heavy armor soldiers are infantry after all, and thousands of cavalry are rushing forward wave after wave, and even the strongest soldiers are difficult to support. One, two, and gradually some of the heavily armored soldiers fell to their knees in the wind and rain, and no longer had the strength to stand up. And then the Mongol cavalry who rushed straight over slashed at the exposed neck of the heavily armored soldier.

The hundreds of foot soldiers behind the heavy armored soldiers casually threw the divine arm crossbow into the muddy water, and the spear and iron spear in their hands stabbed out of the gap that had been exposed, but these light armored infantry had little deterrent power in front of the cavalry, and after several cavalry fell under the spear, more cavalry had already swarmed in along this opening.

"Fight to the death!" Su Liuyi jumped up from the horse, knocked a Mongolian Tartar who was waving a knife and screamed from the horse, and raised his hand to stab.

More Song soldiers roared and rushed towards the oncoming Mongol cavalry. And behind this thousand-strong Mongolian team, thousands of Song army foot soldiers also took steps, spears like forests, piercing the nine skies!

In the wind and rain, although the suspension bridge in Huangzhou behind was not put away, the city gate was slowly closed. Looking at the last trace of the closed city gate, Heda showed a desperate expression on his face, if he didn't retreat at this time, I was afraid that he would really be killed here by these Nanban who didn't even want to pounce on him, and I don't know why these Nanban were different from the previous wanton slaughter, it stands to reason that they should retreat in the city and blindly defend it, but I don't know why the martial army is completely different from other Song troops this day.

At this time, there was no time to think about these questions, and he hurriedly turned the horse's head, and after a fight, a thousand-man team only had five or six hundred cavalry, and those who were like insurmountable Song Army heavy armor soldiers were not even half, but they were still standing there straight like this, just waving the giant axe in their hands!

It was as if the wind and rain were blocked in the shadow of the sword and axe.

I can't fight like this anymore, and there is only one thought left in Heda's heart. And his cavalry guards also dispersed in a hurry, and they all turned their horses' heads and drove towards the rear with their own commanders, since the front could not break through, if they could break through from the direction of the Song army's troops mobilized and somewhat thin camps, it would finally be some gains.

"Chase!" Su Liuyi hurriedly turned over and got on his horse, and several teams of strong soldiers hurriedly followed him and rushed forward. Even if the city is saved, if the camp is breached, the foot soldiers in the front compartment of the Tianwu Army and the right wing of the Tianwu Army will only be slaughtered by the Mongolian cavalry, and no matter how powerful the foot soldiers are, if there are not enough heavy armor soldiers and crossbowmen, it will be difficult to stop the killing of the cavalry in this field.

The fighting in front of the camp is still there, and blood is flowing freely.

Zhang Shun strangled the war horse fiercely, there was a deep wound on his shoulder, and he didn't know when it was left, and there were only five or six cavalrymen left behind him, everyone was drenched in blood, everyone was tired, but the knives in everyone's hands were still proudly raised, letting the torrential rain wash the blood on it.

And a silver-armored young general raised a knife to slash a Mongolian cavalryman who fell off his horse, and strode over, although his armor was also marked by swords, but it was not as embarrassed as Zhang Shun. Hundreds of Song soldiers poured up from behind the general, blocking a Mongolian hundred-man team that had been biting the Song cavalry.

"That's enough." Jiang Hao looked at Zhang Shun with a smile, and plunged into the battle formation behind Zhang Shun, "Help a certain look at it, the camp can't be lost!" ”

Zhang Shun was slightly stunned, a feeling of exhaustion spread from the bottom of his heart, he hurriedly shook his head vigorously, jumped off the horse, the war horse was constantly panting, thinking that he was extremely tired. Zhang Shun patted the neck of the war horse, and there were already many Mongolian soldiers in the camp not far away.

"Rush over!" Zhang Shun roared angrily, and several cavalrymen stabbed their sabers in the buttocks of the war horses without saying a word, and the war horses neighed, mustering up the last strength and galloping forward. A bright saber roared out of the wind and rain, knocking off a Mongol cavalryman who had just fallen into the Song army's foot soldiers. And the Mongolian cavalry also found out about the Song cavalry killed from behind, and naturally more than a dozen people came out to ride their horses to meet the battle.

The footsteps were dense, as if to cover the roaring rainstorm, more Song army foot soldiers appeared from the wind and rain, and more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry who had originally entered the camp were quickly cut down by these countless Song army foot soldiers, Zhang Cheng took the lead, and crashed into the Mongolian cavalry formation with the elite who had not yet fought in the city.

Several Huangzhou Six Gates and Jinyi guards were riding horses and rushing to the front, at this time, both young and old in Huangzhou City had already gone to the city, and they were naturally no exception. And when the city gate was opened, Zhang Cheng led them to ride a horse and rush to the front.

Although there were only seven or eight people, they slashed and killed more than a dozen Mongol cavalry in a row. The Mongol cavalry, who were still attacking the camp, roared angrily and turned their horses to meet them. And Zhang Cheng naturally wouldn't send his elite up for the crowd to beat, so regardless of whether the six doors and brocade guards were willing or not, Zhang Cheng ordered them to retreat into the crowd.

Dense spears and spears stood in front, and in the middle there were more than a dozen archers shooting desperately.

Because Zhang Cheng's flag has just been erected, it is still waving in the wind and rain. Nearly a thousand Song soldiers gathered around this banner, and more Mongolian cavalry also adjusted their formations, these warriors on the grassland were finally worn out in the wind and rain, but they still wanted to gnaw off the last piece of meat on these Nanban who couldn't break up!

Heda led five or six hundred cavalry to come through the wind and rain, and crashed straight into the flank of Zhang Cheng's infantry, while the other Mongolian cavalry also covered from the front. It's just too late, Jiang Hao with hundreds of foot soldiers intercepted the cavalry from the side, and Zhang Shun has also organized the young Zhuang who went out of the city to support and thousands of soldiers who stayed in the camp to plug the gaps everywhere.

As for Heda's cavalry, the moment they entered the flank of Zhang Cheng's infantry, Su Liuyi also rushed up from behind them with a large number of Song troops.

As for more Mongolian Han soldiers, they have long since disappeared in this wind and rain. It's just that they haven't forgotten these Mongolian robes that are still fighting under the city of Huangzhou, dozens of cavalry came in a hurry from afar, at this time Zhang Cheng's infantry formation was finally killed by Heda, the two Mongolian cavalry converged together, there were less than 3,000 people, and I don't know how many Mongolian athletes fell outside the stormy Huangzhou City.

Huangzhou is really the sad place of Mongolia.

Heda's teeth were already about to break, but he couldn't attack, although the Song army on the opposite side was probably only five or six thousand people left, and it was not impossible to make them pay the price of half more with three thousand cavalry, and then the Song army was afraid that it would really collapse.

Because the Mongol Han soldiers who had fled to Qizhou found that the city of Qizhou was full of Song troops, and the sailors of the Song army also constantly fired crossbow arrows from the river.

The only way at this time is to preserve your strength and retreat quickly!

Fortunately, Ashu, who had already received unfavorable news of the war in Huangzhou, sent 5,000 cavalry to the east to respond, and the Song army had no intention of going north to block the way back.

But in any case, this battle was lost after all.

In the wind and rain, you can't see Huangzhou in the distance, but you can clearly see the Song military camp in the distance. Although the flags were not unfurled, the places where the flags were stationed had squeezed the last drop of the blood of the Mongol cavalry.

With a long sigh, Heda led the remnants of the Mongol cavalry to retreat slowly.

Seeing the retreat of the Mongolian cavalry, Su Liuyi also ordered the generals to restrain their troops and horses and not to pursue, after all, after two days of fighting, in addition to the city sergeants still have the strength to fight, the defenders of the camp have long been fighting bravely forward with the last trace of blood.

At the same time that the war of foreign capital and water came to an end, the war of Huangzhou also ended.

The Tianwu army won a crushing victory.

The wind and rain are still washing the heavens and the earth, and outside the city of Huangzhou, there is countless blood.

Su Liuyi walked up to an earthen wall step by step, stretched out his hand and held the Song army's red flag tightly, under this banner, countless Song soldiers and Mongolian cavalry had fought bloodily, and the corpses of the past two days were not buried, and some of the corpses had even begun to bulge in their stomachs. It's just that the war is over after all, and the soldiers who finally left the city have begun to bury their bodies.

On the earthen wall on one side of this banner, a Song sergeant sat on the earthen wall, allowing his companions to shield him from the wind and rain and bandage his wounds. And the knife in his hand had been curled, and beneath the earthen wall where he was, the corpses of the Mongol soldiers were two layers thicker than any other place.

Su Liuyi was slightly stunned, this person was really a warrior, seeing that the wound was already deep in the bones, he didn't even blink, but he didn't expect that it was just a small Wu Chang. Walking over and patting the soldier's shoulder, Su Liuyi barely squeezed out a smile on his face: "It's Su Liuyi, I don't know what to call my brother?" ”

Unexpectedly, the deputy commander appeared here, not only the captain, but also the rest of the soldiers stood up a little unprepared, with a trace of panic on their faces. And Su Liuyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to block the wound of the captain: "Quickly bandage it, I'm afraid that if the rain seeps in too much, I am afraid that it will really not be saved." ”

The Wu Commander wanted to say something, but his voice was already a little choked, but he still said it with difficulty: "Subordinate Wu Chucai." ”

"Good job." Su Liuyi patted him on the shoulder trustingly, the army will reward meritorious deeds, so he is not worried that this brave commander will not be promoted.

"Obey!" Wu Chucai looked at Su Liuyi who was far away, and his tears couldn't help but gush out, mixed with the rain on his face.

The dilapidated camp was silent in the wind and rain, and how many men died in battle, the so-called guarding this side of the land.
