Chapter 436: Yang Sanlang
The two took off the armor on their bodies and threw it away, lifted the stretcher one after the other, and followed the soldiers to start moving towards the Fushui River.
The river was very cold, so cold that the two of them shivered, so they could only grit their teeth and insist on this, the sound of killing in the distance shook the sky, and it was obvious that the fierce battle was still going on.
The soldiers who crossed the river had solemn faces and were strictly forbidden to speak, so they all quietly moved forward, hoping only to cross the river and live.
The river was very cold, and as it moved forward, it grew deeper and deeper, reaching the waist and then to the chest.
Qiu Youshou was shivering from the cold, his teeth chattered, and a short soldier beside him sank into the water, and came out again, trembling and said, "Big brother, pull me, I'm ......, I have cramps......"
Qiu Youshou held the stretcher tightly with both hands, and wanted to pull him out, but he was afraid that the stretcher would turn over, so he could only hold on to the stretcher tightly and look at him apologetically: "Yes, I'm sorry brother, I ......, I can't help you"
The soldier sank again, and was never seen again.
Qiu Youshou and Gu Gua continued to drip forward. Qiu Youshou felt that something under his feet occasionally collided with him, and he heard a soldier shouting not far away: "Help......, I ......, I won't ...... water."
Then there was a plop, and after a while, it was quiet, and I didn't know if I was rescued or drowned.
It was pitch black all around, the freezing rain continued to drift, Qiu Youshou felt that his whole body had been frozen stiff by the cold river water, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and continued to move forward with difficulty.
The river was already up to his shoulders, and his whole body was fluttering. I can't stand on my feet. He didn't dare to open his eyes, he didn't dare to stay, he just followed mechanically.
That's when it happened. His feet under the water were suddenly grabbed violently, and he was holding them to death, and he was struggling and shaking wildly.
A soldier drowned, but he hugged himself while struggling to die!
Qiu Youshou panicked, he desperately wanted to kick the man away, but the man hugged him very tightly, like an iron hoop. Simply broke free.
Qiu Youshou couldn't stand still, he was pulled out of balance by the man in the water, and his head sank. Goo Dong Gu Dong drank several sips of water, and one foot had been torn off the bottom of the river!
Feeling that the stretcher was moving and sinking, Gu Gua in front knew that it was not good, so he quickly turned around and dragged the stretcher.
Qiu Youshou was evacuated from the bottom of the river on both legs. He knew it was over. If you still hold on to the stretcher, you will pull the brother on the stretcher into the water together!
Qiu Youshou immediately let go of his hand, and before the whole person was dragged underwater, he shouted: "Take care of my eldest brother......"
"Brother......!"
It was pitch black all around, Gu Gua couldn't see Qiu Youshou's figure anymore, he subconsciously wanted to dive to save him, but he immediately gave up this idea, because he just had to let go. The stretcher in his hand will immediately sink into the water, and the unconscious Qiu Youshou on it will definitely die!
He was carrying a stretcher. Wait quietly, hoping for a miracle.
But no. Without Qiu Youshou, that honest smiling face surfaced.
Gu Gua's tears mixed with ice rain flowed down his cheeks.
He could only continue to carry the stretcher forward, and when he reached the place where the deep water overflowed overhead, he swam over the stretcher.
When he finally reached the other side, he asked a soldier beside him to help carry the stretcher up the riverbank.
Standing on the shore, following the reflection of the river, he could see some of the situation on the river, and the black pressure was full of Song soldiers swimming by. went up to the riverbank, and then the whole team, followed the leader across the river beach, and into the mountains.
The river is very wide, and on the other side of the river, the torches of the Liao army stretch endlessly, all the way to the edge of the sky. I don't know how many people there are. And on the Taihang Mountain on the other side, there are also dots of firelight, slowly shaking, obviously, there are also Liao troops on the mountain.
In the long night, the sound of fighting never stopped, and it sounded until dawn.
The east finally showed the whiteness of the fish's belly.
Qiu Youcai, who was lying on a stretcher and was moving towards the mountains, finally woke up, opened his eyes, and saw Gu Gua carrying the stretcher in the back, and said in a weak voice: "Thank you!" ”
Gu Gua smiled encouragingly and said, "How do you feel?" ”
"I shouldn't be able to die, didn't Lang Zhong say, as long as I can survive tonight, I won't be able to die."
"Great!"
Qiu Youcai looked sideways at the person carrying the stretcher in front of him, but it was a soldier he didn't know, and then looked around, but there was still no familiar figure of the third brother, and immediately became nervous, and said, "My ......, what about my third brother?" ”
Gu Gua's expression darkened, and he said, "In ......, over there......"
Qiu Youcai shouted loudly: "The third child! Where are you, third? The third ......"
"No need to call...... Gu Gua said in a mournful voice, "Brother Qiu, when he crossed the river to break through, he drowned ......"
Qiu Youcai was dumbfounded, looked at Gu Gua in a daze, and said with a forced smile: "Brother, don't be kidding!" ”
"I also hope it's just a joke, he's dead, I can't save him in order to protect your stretcher......"
Qiu Youcai cried out in tears, pulling his hair with one hand: "You bastard, how can you save me from not saving my third brother!" You bastard! Bastard......"
……
In the Yanshui River, which flowed slowly, the soldiers of the Song army were still swimming to cross the river in a steady stream.
On the surface of the river, there were many corpses of Song soldiers, some of which floated to the bank of the river, but no one picked them up. Because the soldiers who crossed the river, all under the leadership of the commander, quickly entered the mountains. There was no time to clean up the bodies of the dead soldiers of the Song army.
On the other side of the river, there was also a small number of Song troops who were in charge of the broken back, and they were resisting the Liao army that was pouring in like a tide, and the first general, the whole battle robe had been stained red with blood, and his body was full of jagged arrows.
This desperate tiger general is none other than Yang Yanxun, the general of the Yang family!
In the fierce battle all night, the Song army suffered heavy losses. The generals Niu Sijin and Du Yangui were all killed on the battlefield. The three sons of the Yang family were all injured.
Yang Yanxun was the most seriously injured, because he was responsible for the task of breaking off and had been fighting at the front.
His blood seemed to be drained. The Venus was surging in front of him, but he saw a steady stream of Song soldiers who were constantly on the other side of the shore through the white belly of the fish in the east, and the eldest brother and second brother who stayed on the shore to look at him from afar, he felt at ease!
He led an army of 5,000 elite soldiers to take charge of the rear. Seeing that the day dawned, there were no more Song troops on the riverbank here, but there were still thousands of Song troops on the river who were continuing to cross the river. Yang Sanlang gave the order with red eyes, and concentrated his forces to form a defensive line on the banks of these Song troops crossing the river.
The soldiers in charge of the broken aftermath knew that their fate had been decided, and that they could only be candles that illuminated the journey of other people's lives, destined to burn on the banks of this river.
Yang Sanlang either held a piercing gold spear, or pulled up the sky-shaking bow and shot at close combat from a distance. His Yang family gun is famous all over the world, and his archery skills can be described as a hundred steps through Yang. I don't know how many Liao soldiers died under his spear.
And he was also seriously wounded, and most of the 5,000 soldiers had died in battle. The rest were all around him and resisted strongly.
Directly opposite, there was a pair of heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army, preparing to launch what may be the last decisive charge!
The Liao army commander who led the team, tall and handsome, was the famous Liao army's famous general, Yelu Huge!
The battle robe on Yelu Hugo's body was also covered with blood, and I don't know how many Song soldiers died under his sword. At this moment, he was staring at Yang Sanlang with a cold gaze, the two had fought many times in the dark, and a blood groove on his back was left by Yang Sanlang.
He was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, because after a fierce battle all night, when it was almost dawn, Yelu Xiuge felt that something was wrong, why was the Song army's battle line retreating quickly to the river bank? Where did the Chinese army of the Song army go?
When the sky revealed the white belly of the fish, he found that Song Jun had flown to the other side!
On this night, the Song army had been secretly crossing the river to break through, and they didn't even know it!
Of course, as long as God is to blame, this night is rainy and dark. And the torches of the Liao army, although they are very numerous, can only illuminate the battlefield, but they can't shine on the Fushui River. What's more, it's because of the desperate and bloody Yang Sanlang and his 5,000 dead soldiers in front of him, desperately blocking the repeated impact of their tens of thousands of strong soldiers. As a result, they were unable to push the defense line forward, and they were unable to discover the crossing of the main force of the Song army behind the Song army's defense line.
After he found out this, he was so angry that he was like thunder, and he wanted to put Yang Sanlang, the culprit who prevented him from annihilating the entire Song army, to death!
Now, Yang Sanlang is already at the end of his crossbow, and it is easy to catch him. He's going to cut him alive with a knife!
Brother Yelu Xiu waved the golden knife in his hand and roared: "Rush! "Riding a horse and rushing towards Yang Saburo!
The thousands of iron horsemen behind him, like an unstoppable rolling flood, swept towards the remaining more than 1,000 Song soldiers on the river bank.
Yang Sanlang looked back, the Song army who crossed the river had already crossed the center of the river, and the eldest brother and second brother on the river bank were gone, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly. When he turned around, he saw Yelu Hugo galloping towards him, and the Liao army iron cavalry galloping towards him with the corpses of countless soldiers, the corners of his mouth showed a contemptuous sneer, grabbed the armor-piercing gold gun, and shouted: "Charge!" - Kill! ”
More than a thousand Song soldiers have all stained their robes with blood, and the assassins are all red-eyed, gritting their teeth and roaring, "Charge!" - Kill! ”
Follow Yang Sanlang's war horse and rush towards the rolling Liao army's iron cavalry!
Yelu Hugo raised the golden knife high, and Yang Sanlang held the armor-piercing golden spear, galloping towards each other, getting closer and closer. With a strong wind, Yelu Xiuge's golden knife slashed diagonally towards Yang Sanlang's shoulder!
After this night's battle, Yelu Xiuge knew Yang Sanlang's ability very well, and he didn't expect to kill Yang Sanlang with one knife, so this knife, in fact, the last three back moves, Yelu Huge hopes that one of the three back moves can hurt Yang Sanlang!
But at this moment, Yang Sanlang seemed to have become a statue, neither dodging nor blocking with a gun, as if he was here to die. Ignore the golden knife that slashes diagonally! (To be continued......)
