The largest tributary of the Yalu River, although it is not more than ten zhang wide, but the water is turbulent, Wanyan Aguta deliberately set up the camp by the river, and then took advantage of the cover of night to start nervously building a pontoon bridge for crossing the river.

The Jurchens would also use sheepskin rafts to flow into the river, but there were many old and weak women and children in the Jin army, and there were also a large number of treasures on the horses, and the river was turbulent, so it would be very difficult to cross the river on sheepskin rafts.

What's more, once you cross the river halfway through, if you are attacked by the Song army in a half-crossing, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Wanyan Aguta had to order the construction of pontoon bridges, and there were three of them, so that more than 30,000 people and horses could quickly cross the river, and in the event of an attack, they could also support each other.

In the royal tent of Wanyan Aguta, he and Wanyan Sagai and others endured the wolf howls outside the camp one after another, and were discussing the matter of crossing the river.

Wanyan Aguta looked like he had lost a lot of weight, and his left arm was wounded by a flintlock pistol under Liaoyang City, and he has not fully recovered.

In the corner of the big tent, Yelu Nanxian, the lord of Lekang, was researching herbs for him, Yelu Nanxian had just turned fourteen years old and was pretty. In the original history, within a few years, she was named Princess Cheng'an and married to Western Xia to be Li Qianshun's queen;

Now that the Western Xia has been destroyed, Li Qianshun has become Yang Yi's captive, but she has become a captive of Wanyan Aguta, because she is beautiful, she was beaten into the harem by Wanyan Agu, and she was lost in the capital, and she was not willing to leave her.

There are many women from the Liao clan who have become the playthings of the Jurchens like Yelu Nanxian, and the queen of Yelu Yanxi, Xiao Duoli, the concubine Xiao, the concubine Xiao Sise, the concubine Xiao Guige, etc., have not escaped such a fate.

As a royal woman who died in the country. Yelu Nanxian had also accepted her fate, but now she had a glimmer of hope. Because the new emperor Yelu Mingyu received the support of the Song State, he fought back. and forced Wanyan Agu to flee in the wilderness.

Although Yelu Nanxian also knew that the Song State was only annexing Liaodong in the name of Emperor Tianci, since he borrowed the name, at least he could have a decent end, and if he could go back there, it would be better than being lewd by the Jin people here.

She had a rare opportunity to stay in the tent and listen to Yan Aguta and others' deliberations, so naturally she would not miss a word, but after listening to Yan Aguta, she asked first: "Did the people who crossed the river to reconnoiter come back?" ”

Wan Yan Sagai immediately replied: "During the day, I have searched the area within a radius of twenty miles on the opposite bank, and I have not found anything abnormal. The Great Sage Emperor should be able to rest assured, right? ”

"No, we must expand the search area, and we must ensure that there are no ambushes within a radius of 50 miles on the other side, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure safety when we cross halfway."

Wanyan Aguta insisted that Liu Wu's men and horses were lying in ambush on the east bank of the boiling water, and when they were halfway through, they suddenly attacked.

All along, they have been trying their best to inquire about the whereabouts of this team, but so far they have been rewarded with the fact that Liu Wu is still in Guide Prefecture, which is not believed by Yan Sagai. So far, it is impossible for that team to stay in Guide Prefecture without moving, and it must have been out of its shell a long time ago.

The question is that Liaodong is so big, how to determine Wanyan Aguta. Liu Wu was waiting on the east bank of the boiling water to ambush them? Could it be that Yang Yi had expected that they would flee to Changbai Mountain and set up an ambush on the east bank of the boiling water in advance?

This is also incredible!

And now the scouts who crossed the river searched for a radius of twenty miles, and found no clues. It was hard to believe that Liu Wu was ambushing on the east bank of the boiling water.

Seeing that he didn't think so, Wanyan Ah Gu sighed lightly: "When we were in Liaoyang City. Although you can also go in other directions, you will inevitably encounter Song Jun in the end. After breaking through to Changbai Mountain, you can not only use the situation of mountains and rivers to block the Song army, but also return to our Jurchen hometown to the north;

Even if the Song army catches up with the Mingtong River, we can continue to retreat north, as long as the war drags into the winter, the Song people will not tolerate the bitter cold, and it will be difficult to continue, and then it will be my turn to fight back;

Yang Yi is a good calculator, and it is difficult to escape his calculations when these things are thought of, and Liu Wu only has a few thousand people, if we don't use the terrain, it will be difficult to block our way;

And the most conducive ambush in the east is undoubtedly this boiling water, so it is not surprising that Yang Yi let Liu Wu ambush Liu Wu on the east bank in advance, and suddenly attack when we are halfway through. ”

The dim light shone on everyone, and a huge black shadow was cast on the wall of the tent, like a ghost, making the atmosphere in the tent more solemn.

Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded and replied: "After such an analysis by the Great Sage Emperor, I also think that if Yang Yi sends someone to set up an ambush, it is very likely that he will choose boiling water." ”

Wanyan Aguta said again: "Send more people over, especially within twenty miles, and we must search again to ensure that everything is safe." ”

Wanyansa should have changed, but this night is vast, and many places are forests, how can this be searched?

Yelu Nanxian listened quietly, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, what they discussed was how to cross the river, and it was useless for her to listen to this, unless she could escape now, but this was impossible.

Yelu Nanxian even felt that Wanyan Agu was clearly as timid as a mouse, the river was ten zhang wide, and when the three pontoon bridges were built, all 30,000 horses could cross the river at once, was it necessary to be so worried?

Behind a mountain forest about twenty miles away from the Jin army's camp, four thousand Song troops camped here, and Yang Yi's big tent was also lit up.

"Han Qing, Yang Zhi, where have they been?"

"Lord Hui, I have arrived at the mouth of the old crow, less than seventy miles away."

"Send someone to pass my order, and order Yang Zhi to hurry overnight, no matter what, he must rush here before dawn."

"Yes, sir."

Ma Hanqing strode out of the tent to pass the order, and Yang Yi paced back and forth in the tent, constantly thinking in his mind. Yingge's 10,000 horses were actually very tenacious, and in the face of Yang Zhi's two-sided attack, they actually supported it for nearly two days, which was greatly unexpected by Yang Yi, so that Wanyan Aguda had already reached the boiling water, and Yang Zhi and they had not caught up yet.

At the beginning, although Yang Yi calculated that Yan Aguda would flee eastward, it was impossible to calculate the specific route he took, and Liu Wu only had 7,000 men. If you use the mountain to set up an ambush, you will be detected in advance by Wanyan Agu. It is easy to get around, and then this ambush will lose the possibility of a surprise attack. can only fight hard with Wanyan Agu.

Therefore, the boiling water river that Yang Yi chose, if Wanyan Aguta wants to advance into Changbai Mountain, he must cross this river;

As long as Liu Wu detected the marching route of Wanyan Aguta half a day in advance, no matter where Wanyan Aguta chose to cross the river, Liu Wu could attack halfway.

However, there is also a great uncertainty in choosing the boiling water ambush, because this is already the southern foot of Changbai Mountain.

In the northeast, there are two north-south mountain ranges, one is the Great Khingan Mountains, which separates the Mongolian Plateau from the Northeast Plain. Now it's called Jinshan.

The other is the Changbai Mountain in the east of the Northeast Plain, starting from Heilongjiang in the north, to the boiling water area in the south, about 2,500 miles long from north to south.

The Jurchens used to fish and hunt for a living in the white mountains and black waters, and if they let Wanyan and Ah Gu advance into Changbai Mountain, even the gods would be helpless against him;

So Yang Zhi and the others failed to arrive in time. Yang Yi began to feel a little anxious in his heart.

He and Liu Wu combined only had 10,000 troops, and Wanyan Agu had 30,000, Yang Yi was quite jealous of a character like him who could become the "Son of Heaven", let alone 30,000. Even if Wanyan Aguta is allowed to escape with 5,000 men and horses, Yang Yi believes that the Northeast will not be peaceful in the future.

When Ma Hanqing came again, Yang Yi immediately asked, "Hanqing." Is there still any contact with Liu Wu now? ”

"Back to my lord, this shouldn't be difficult. Although the Jin army sent a large number of scouts, it was in the darkness of the night. It is not a problem to send a few people to quietly cross the river. ”

"Wanyan Aguta is obviously suspicious, you immediately send someone to inform Liu Wu, adjust your tactics at any time according to the situation, if you can't attack suddenly, immediately press up with the whole army, and stop the Jin army from crossing the river at all costs."

"Yes, sir."

"Order the battalion sergeant to stand by and be ready to attack at any time."

"Yes."

This night, Yang Yi and Wanyan Aguta were nervously preparing, Wanyan Aguta asked people to build a pontoon bridge, and at the same time sent people to search the opposite bank as much as possible, and those places where the primeval forest could not be searched one by one, they also had to send police posts.

This ten-zhang wide boiling water has become the gate of life and death, and if the river is successfully crossed, tens of thousands of Jin troops can escape, and if the river crossing is not successful, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out.

Busy all night, to the fifth watch, three pontoon bridges set up, under the layers of strict prevention, Wanyan Aguta decided to start crossing the river, the pontoon bridge lit up rows of torches, the bridge deck illuminated.

At this time, Yelu Nanxian discovered that it was not easy for 30,000 horses to cross the ten-zhang wide river, and if only people passed, it would be very fast;

But if you want to let tens of thousands of war horses cross the bridge, it will be troublesome, because you can't let the war horses follow one after the other, and if too many war horses go on the bridge at the same time, the pontoon bridge may collapse because it can't bear such a large weight.

Therefore, the number of war horses on the bridge at a time cannot exceed ten, and the first ten horses are basically over, and the latter can continue to go on the bridge.

When the war horse crosses the bridge, the bridge deck will shake, and it is very easy to frighten the war horse, and you must slowly pull and calm it to make it cross the bridge smoothly.

Some of the more timid horses, when they encounter the shaking of the bridge, will not leave, and will even retreat vigorously, no matter how much you pull.

In this way, the speed can't be fast, Yelu Nanxian thought that he could cross the river at once, but look at it, there is not an hour or two, I am afraid that it will be difficult to let tens of thousands of horses cross the river.

Wanyan Aguta let thousands of soldiers cross the river first, and set up a defensive formation on the other side of the river, rejecting horse piles, thistles, etc., all of which are quite a few;

Moreover, it makes people block the perimeter into a shield wall, in case of flintlock shooting, these shield walls can play a big defensive role.

Despite all the preparations, Wanyan still had a heart, and always felt that Yang Yi would not let him cross the river so smoothly.

What means will Yang Yi use to attack?

Soon, Wanyan knew that the formation of the Jin army on the opposite side had not yet been completely arranged, and the police posts scattered around the periphery came with an alarm signal, and the whining horn horn came in the dark night, like a wild ghost whimpering, and the Jin army in the transition river was all terrified and shocked.
