At the time of Wei Qi, Sticky Han was wreaking havoc in the east of the river, and the soldiers were facing the big river, and they were eyeing Yanyan. Liu Guangshi could ask for a hasty coalition in the west, and Gaomiao reorganized the army in Taiyuan Mansion, and the war was about to start.

He led 100,000 Hu cavalry, ran south from Yandi, attacked Yanjing, Batanzhou, Yandi and Hebei. However, the king of Wu'an County sent the Cao State army from the east of Feihu and plugged it in Yizhou to cover Hebei in front of him. Wenguo Gong Town is in Xiongzhou, thinking that it is stamina.

At the right time, the British Duke and Guo Jinwu led the hard post from Yi County to the north, patrolled between Tanyan, and slashed and swept together, beheaded Chala, beheaded Ahudie, beheaded the gods and soil, and separated from the sons and nephews of the chiefs of the Jurchen East Road. The anger of the separation, the soldiers besieged Yi County, and attacked fiercely for several days. Cao Guogong defended with the army, Wen Guogong sent reinforcements from Hebei, and Song Jingkang fought in Yishui on May 13 of the first year.

———— volume 3 of "Jingkang's Testament".

The rain continued to fall, covering the sky and the earth into a white expanse. The water is even wider, and because of the heavy rain on both sides of the river, it has become a wetland with puddles everywhere. And the military horses gathered on both sides of Yishui, iron armor like washing, blades frost and cold, waiting for the arrival of war.

In the depths of spring, the sky was still warm for a while. But since the beginning of summer, it has been wet and cold, and the army on both sides of the river has been spewing out long white gas.

This Jingkang year is destined to be ten times colder than previous years.

Most of these military horses that were mobilized and prepared to fight by the river were infantry troops drawn from various Jurchen plots, as well as strong crossbowmen from the Bohai Sea and various tribal armies that were attached. Now they are either crowded together on the banks of the river, or on the rickety rafts and boats on the water's edge, ready to fight. Behind the continuous fences erected on both sides of the river, thousands of archers were also arranged.

It is close to the south of Yi County. Then it was the brigade infantry formation. In case there is a clash between the army and horses in Yi County, in order to receive reinforcements from the river. and he was ready to fight it.

The one who commanded the river to garrison the armies was Pu Luhun, the general of the Jurchen army under Wanyan Zongbi, and the one who commanded and guarded the defenders in Yixian County was another general under Zong Bi. The one who is always responsible is Zong Bi himself, who lives on a high post. Around his big tower, six Jurchen iron horsemen were laid out in layers, which were mobile forces ready to support everywhere.

In addition to these Jurchen generals, the chieftains of all ethnic groups are handsome, and the Yang family members who command the Bohai crossbowmen. They all ran back and forth in the queue, and their shouts were heard from time to time in the rain curtain, commanding and dispatching the men and horses under their respective commands to line up, and all kinds of banners were flying, and the two sides of Yishui were full of a solemn atmosphere of imminent war. The Northland men and horses prepared in formation, in the wet and cold rain, their clothes and armor soaked in water were slippery and heavy, and they wriggled in the mud. Prepare for a battle along the river that will be a little strange to them.

The real female and real iron horsemen surrounding Zong Bi, under such a rain curtain, did not seem to have the sharp aura that crisscrossed the northern land. The centaurs all looked a little listless, and they kept wiping their faces with rain. Everyone was muttering curses about this weather.

Wanyan Zongbi sat on a large beard bed, a horse lance from the Song people plunged deep into the mud, and the reins of his mount were tied to the handle of this horse. Wanyan Zongbi's face was solemn, and he looked at the nearly 10,000 horses and horses under his command, looked at them in their respective positions with difficulty, and looked at the infantry who seemed a little at a loss on the raft boat.

From time to time, he also looked back to the north, and on the high post in the north, he could also see the big banners of Zongwang and others. The commander of the Jurchen Eastern Route Army is also paying attention to the progress of this upcoming war. However, the main force of the Jurchen army and horses is mostly living in the tent of the camp to recuperate, so that since the beginning of the summer, the rain has been continuous, and the wet and cold weather is really not suitable for the Jurchen iron cavalry, and there are many sick people, so now they will drive these tribal armies and auxiliary armies into battle, and the real Jurchen iron cavalry is resting as much as possible.

In this battle, if you can defeat the southerners to reinforce the horses cleanly. There is no rescue outside, and no matter how capable the southern army of Yixian County is, it will not be able to support it for too long. After calming the anger of Zong Wang and the others, the Jurchen Eastern Route Army could be freed from the place of Yixian County and restore the mobility of the army. If you can't defeat the reinforcements, you want to capture Yi County, and you don't know how long it will take! No wonder Zong Wang and the others are staring behind their backs, looking at whether he Zong Bi can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility!

However, at this moment, Zong Bi looked at the surging water in front of him that had risen several times wider, and looked at the muddy and slippery Siye, and there was still a trace of apprehension in his heart.

This kind of war is really a little strange for the North Metro Ride! In the future, the south of the river in the border with water as a soldier, further south is said to have a wider and turbulent Yellow River block, if the southerners are as good as the military horses in Yi County, this battle is very difficult to fight, the beginning of the army swept the edge of the Yan land, I don't know if it can be reproduced!

It turned out that Zong Wang and other figures who knew the inside of the Southern Dynasty had a very low evaluation of the military horses of the Southern Dynasty. When the Jurchen Iron Cavalry destroyed the Liao Empire, the Southern Dynasty gathered the elite of the Western Army to fight the remnants of Yandi and Liao, and the appearance that the strength was so clumsy at all proved this. But I don't know when a figure named Xiao Yan emerged in the Southern Dynasty, and now he is the King of Yan in the Southern Dynasty, presiding over this war against the Jurchen army! And this suddenly appeared King Yan of the Southern Dynasty, with his military horses under his command, can really fight tough battles!

According to the limited information now held by the Jurchen high-level, the main force of the Yan Dynasty's army and horses of the Southern Dynasty was assembled in Hedong. An army of thousands was sent to Yizhou, and it was stationed along the line in Hebei, and now it was the Tianwu Army, one of the four armies under the command of King Yan, who was also sent to help. The combat effectiveness of the defenders of Yi County has already been seen, and now I have to understand this Tianwu army. If the combat strength is not inferior to the defenders of Yi County, even if Yi County is attacked, it will not be easy to break into the south and Hebei.

Thinking about it again, the main force of the Yanwang army and horses of the Southern Dynasty is now gathered in Hedong, and Zong Han's army and horses don't know how much pressure they are bearing. Even if the two groups of Zongwang and Zonghan were not in harmony, Zong Bi couldn't help but be a little worried about him at this time.

The southerners are not even opponents of the Liao, and the Jurchen iron cavalry swept through the Liaons like a withered and decaying, originally thinking that the southerners were soft and brittle, and they could fight whenever they wanted, and they could fight how they wanted. How did a bird and swallow king come out!

Although in the midst of the great army. Zong Bi became more and more upset the more he thought about it. Wiped a handful of rain from his face and stood up. He took a few heavy steps to calm his heart. In any case, let's fight this battle in front of us first!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Under the protection of two fences extending from the south gate of Yixian County, among the passages that are more than 40 steps wide, a watchtower has been erected in a hurry in the past few days.

On the top of the watchtower, Liu Baozhong stood on it in armor and tried his best to look in the southeast direction. I saw that the surging water and rain were boundless, and both sides of the strait were full of Tartar army horses. The wooden raft of the Sai River has completely cut off the river channel. On the wooden rafts, there was also a surge of people. It's all Tartar defenders.

To the east of the walled gate, outside the several military villages that protect the passage of the Shuiguan walled gate, you can see the Jurchen infantry in array. It is full of authentic Jurchen auxiliary armies such as cangtou bullets in armor, and the formation is quite strict, and it is even more heavy with the advantage of troops. A look of being ready for battle. Not to mention that behind such an infantry array, there must be a large group of Jurchen iron cavalry to help!

Lu Yong risked his life to break through the blockade and brought the news that reinforcements were coming, and asked Yi County to cooperate at that time. As soon as he saw that the Jurchen army horse moved, Yi County knew that reinforcements were coming. He also hurriedly mobilized military horses to prepare for the rescue. However, looking at the array arrangement of this Jurchen, I don't know if I can rush through it when the time comes!

Look down. I saw that the two commanders of the carefully selected infantry were sitting down behind the fence to rest, and in the rain curtain, everyone was wearing Fan Yang hats on their heads to protect themselves from the rain, and the red tassels were drenched and lay down. And a commanding cavalry was also dismounting and resting, defending the city for days and battles, and the men and horses looked thin and tired, and they were silent and just waited quietly. Only Yang Zaixing was still energetic, walking around a little impatiently at the front of the queue.

For Liu Baozhong, the more the Jurchen army defended the reinforcements so strictly, the more it showed their determination to capture Yi County. It is naturally a good thing to be able to drag the Jurchen military horse for a longer time. As long as the energy source is maintained, Liu Baozhong is confident that with his sons, he can fight with the Jurchen Tartars until he is old!

But under the defense and blockage of the Jurchen Tartars with such an advantage, this is a steady stream of help, but I don't know how much sacrifice to pay for the Tianwu army?

And Liu Baozhong always has hidden worries, if the Tianwu Army opens up the backup channel with the help of bloody battles, let the Jurchen Tartars understand that Yi County is immortal. Will these Jurchen Tartars regain their sanity and fight for their lives in Yi County. What will happen then?

After all, this is 100,000 Hulu, and the Tianwu Army and the Yixian defenders are far inferior combined. And the mobilized Hebei Forbidden Army, Liu Baozhong can't believe it at all!

When the war was about to come, Liu Baozhong was a little upset. But after all, he is a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, and after taking a few deep breaths, he calmed down his feelings, and he felt a hidden feeling in his heart, and whispered an order to the guards around him: "Let the sons and daughters wear armor!" It looks like the battle is about to begin! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On top of the water, a fleet of ships swims upstream.

This fleet is all large ships that are detained and brushed on Zhulu in Hebei, and they are concentrated near Baigou Post through the river, and they have been reinforced and transformed to enable them to go into battle.

In addition to the grain and ordnance in the fleet, it is the elite selection of the Tianwu Army, half of which are Yandi Erlang and the former Yongning Army veterans, and half of them are Hebei dare soldiers, living on the side of Liangshanbo and other big depressions in Hebei, and they are deep through the water.

On each boat, there are cooked cowhides and fine nets hanging on both sides, and side cards are also set up. In the gap, a crossbow machine stretched out. It is the spear of the crossbow that covers the crossbow machine. Each boat has sixteen oars on the left and right, turning against the tide and dividing the waves. The oarsmen were sturdy boatmen, shirtless, muscular, and steaming on their heads.

On the deck, in addition to the shipwright, there are soldiers and soldiers.

Fight by the river, and you can't wear heavy armor. Everybody's just tight-fitting shorts. The head was covered with pig urine bubbles, and then tied it with a strap on the forehead. The feet are also light and straw shoes, and the soles are tied with strips of cloth to increase friction.

Impermeable, or wielding a crossbow machine, or holding a spear, ready to fight by ship. And those sergeants who are proficient in water, everyone has short soldiers, and it is great to add a small rattan card. This is the dead soldier who is ready to rush to the barrage blockade and fight for the fleet!

Although the recent rise of the water has allowed large ships to pass, the river cannot be compared with the large rivers to the south. The fleet traveled through the river, a distance of thirty or forty paces from both banks. On both sides of the river, the patrol cavalry could already be seen chasing the fleet to the northwest, and the hideous faces of the soaking wet, spewing white gas from the men and horses, seemed to be able to see clearly.

On the shore, Hu Lu did not send a single shot, and everyone on the ship, from the generals to the non-commissioned officers to the boatmen, also had a tense face, and no one made a sound lightly.

On the first boat, a general who was also short, but wiped his forehead with a red cloth, just stood at the bow of the boat.

This general's surname is Li Mingjun, and Yue Fei is generally from Hebei Dare Warriors, and even commanded in the same place at the beginning. It's just that after the Yandi War ended, the Hebei Dare soldiers were dismissed, and they were thrown into the Shenwu Ever-Winning Army, and they were promoted to commanders over the years.

He grew up on the shore of Liangshan, had the old business of selling smuggled salt with ships, and had all the experience of fighting on the water. This time, it was in front of Yu Jiang that he fought for the desperate dispatch of leading the first batch of reinforcements north to Yi County.

There was a flood of refugees in Yandi, and the fleet went north to the north and the banks were full of devastation, and it also saw the destruction of Yandi when they saw the fire that day. How did Li Jun not know what kind of miserable scene it would be if 100,000 Tartars rushed to Hebei?

The brothers in Yi County dragged the Jurchen Tartars, and as people from Hebei, they should desperately support them. If you can delay the Tartars here for one more day, it will be better than one day! Wait until King Yan spins the division, and then fight a decisive battle with these Tartars!

In the rain curtain and water vapor, turning a bend in the river, what suddenly appeared was the stretch of the fence along the bank of the river, as well as the countless Tartar military horses in front of the fence!

The sound of the horn pierced through the rain curtain and suddenly sounded. And Li Jun also shouted angrily: "Add a paddle and rush over!" (To be continued......)
