This summer rainstorm lasted for three days at once.

Standing on the Hehejin ferry, the Yellow River at the foot of the water, the water is rising, roaring, rolling and turbulent. The vast soup soup makes the scene on the other side of the strait much more distant.

The heavy rain was still falling from the ground, and the remaining military horses of Hehe Jindu were all shrunk in the camp, and the water was accumulating in the camp, and everyone was crying bitterly.

Hehe Jindu is an important channel for the supply of military resources to the Yanyan army, connecting both sides of the Yellow River, so the defenders are naturally also in the Yanyan army.

Liu Guangshi naturally did not fail to attach importance to this point, and there were quite a few military horses left in Liuzhi. There are six or seven infantry commanders who are stationed here, and there are light cavalry commanded by the Zhijia army on the outer wings to cover the sentinels, which is already quite tightly guarded.

The 40,000 troops of Yan Yan advanced to the east, and the amount of heavy grain and straw that had to be transferred from the other side of the Yellow River every day was a considerable number. At any time, this ferry port seems to be busy, thousands of people, hundreds of vehicles up and down on the ferry, a noisy appearance.

This unprecedented rainstorm arrived, and the angry waves on the Yellow River rolled and the wind roared. The transshipment function of Hehe Jindu suddenly stopped. Hundreds of ferries of all sizes, half on the east bank and half on the west bank, were doubled with rocks to shelter from the storm.

The heavy men on the west bank could not get over, and the vehicles of the men on the east bank had all accumulated, so the heavy rain could not allow the men to sleep in the wilderness, and they could only squeeze into the camp. The camps at the ferry, which had been properly arranged to facilitate entry and exit for combat, were packed to the brim, and heavy rain poured in. The camp was wet and muddy. Life is miserable. But I can only stay up. Pray that this heavy rain will stop as soon as possible, otherwise under the damp and muddy, these thousands of defenders and civilians will not be able to bear the disease alone!

However, what is a little relaxing is that in this heavy rain, the normal army can be a little less relaxed. Even if the luck is not good, and the generals are forced to go out to guard or go to the wall to guard, they can be lazy, and most of the generals are too lazy to care.

Half of Hedong has almost become a Zeguo under this heavy rain, and it is really hard to imagine that there will be a large army of enemies at this time.

Although the main force of the Yan Yan Army, which was alone in the east, had also been cut off these days. But it's safe to think about. A group of generals and officials who were responsible for logistics and transportation and garrisoning the Hehejin ferry were just gritting their teeth in this heavy rain. I only hope that the day will clear sooner and the ground will dry sooner, and then we will quickly restore the supply of the main force of the army.

When General Liu has gained a firm foothold in Hehe County, he must always find a reason to leave this bitter place, turn back to the west of the Yellow River, and rest for a while. Whoever wants to fight with the Jurchen Tartars will go as long as they want, don't count me as well!

After three days of heavy rain. Thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hehe Jindu also endured it for three days, and the rain was still endless. Everyone in the crowded camp was tired and anxious, and there were dozens or hundreds of fights in the camp. Everyone is swearing, when will this day be considered a bird's head!

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

On the wall of a camp in Jindu, Hehe, a sergeant was dressed in a cloak and just walked lazily. Beneath the coat was a suit of leather armor, which had not been nitrated, and there was only an unpleasant smell in the humid weather.

The whole army pressed on the whole army, and the momentum was quite strong. As a result, the military resources for the battle were insufficient, and most of the sergeants who were guarding the back road relied on this new leather armor to make up their money.

The armor and armor are like this, and the drills have been quite deserted in recent years, plus this kind of weather. The sergeant in his thirties was naturally extremely depressed.

Standing under the wall, looking left and right, the Yellow River behind is white, and you can't see the scene on the other side clearly. And the commander of the cavalry of the Zhejia Army, which was camped in the distance ahead, also retreated to a higher place on the north bank of the Lan River. It turned out that the cavalry sentinel that was opened to the east every day was a little half-hearted, but now it took advantage of this rain to take all of it back.

This matter cannot be blamed on the whole army. The so-called coalition battle between the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army was originally a bit stumbling. Yan Yanjun wanted to live alone in a great position, and used the Folding Army as an auxiliary position. The heavy grain and straw transported across the river, because it was not enough, was on this guard, and the distribution of profits was very tight, so that the heavy grain and straw used by the Zhejia army were all transported from the three states outside the river.

If the two armies get along like this, if it is said that the Zhejia army wants to watch the Yan Yan army defeat and lose, at least the vast majority of the Zhejia army is not enough. But if you want to say how hard you worked in this eastward expansion war led by the Yan Yan army, it is absolutely impossible.

The water transportation of the Yellow River was temporarily blocked, and the Zhejia army moved to the north of the Lanshui. The left side of the Hehejin ferry is close to the vital place, which is just this lonely Yan army.

However, there is still a heavy rain, and there are muddy and difficult roads, so that the soldiers and soldiers of the Yan Army in the middle of it have enough sense of security. It was such a weather, and Liu Jiang had all hit the lord in Hehe County, which was only more than 100 miles away from Yifang. There is still a folded army on the flanks, and behind it is Shaanxi, what else can happen?

The cloaked sergeant just casually swept the scene around him in the rain, just yawning lazily. He was originally a garrison army, and he was not allowed to be pulled out for field battles. On weekdays, most of the people with their families just do farm work according to the village.

Although the people stood on the wall, their minds flew to their homes on the other side of the river.

The heavy rain in Hedong is like this, and Yan Yan doesn't know if it has been affected? There is a lot of rain in summer, and the growth of wheat is greatly affected, if it is like Hedong, the harvest of that year will be lost!

Liu Guangshi drove most of Yan Yan's strength into battle, and now the fields are relying on a group of old and weak women and children, and I don't know if I can catch up with it?

The straight lady thief, crossing the river to the battle, still gets sixty percent of the usual salary. The rewards are all empty promises, who knows if they can see it when they go back. If the wheat harvest is affected, I will have to follow the caravan to the thieves to carry salt twice. Although there are a few hard-earned money in this business. It's really bitter! In the summer, everyone is dried up in the desert and steamed. If you go in winter, it will be cold to the bone marrow. That trip followed to carry the fine white refined salt produced by the Western thieves. Don't lose a few lives? This kind of refined salt has never been eaten in the families of these military men, and those generals, it is said that this kind of refined salt is used to gargle their mouths, and when they touch their lips, they will vomit straight to the thief!

The sergeant shivered in the biting cold rain, and the more he thought about it, the more stuffy he became. I couldn't help but wonder, the rain was a little lighter, and the Yellow River was calmer, whether I was looking for a wild ferry to get on a boat. Did the straight lady thief escape? Anyway, the field planted now is also the owner of the village, and the harvest will be handed over to six points, and it will be the same if the village is changed horizontally and vertically.

However, these wild boats are also black-hearted, transporting people from the west to the east across the river, whether it is a sergeant or a civilian man, it is a person who has to run twice! This price is really biting, and it is difficult to make a decision. Anyway, you don't have to fight in front of you, Hehe Jindu is safe here, look at it and talk!

I had the idea of deserting. The sergeant couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

It has been a matter of several lifetimes for their own family in Yanyan Road, not to mention the decades-long conquest and killing of the commanders of the Divine Warriors of the Left Wing of the Western Thieves. My father's generation was selected to Hengshan, Xihe, and there were not a few heroes who fought with the West Thieves. Shaanxi boy, when is it not to fight with foreign criminals to the end? There were several crushing defeats in the history of the Western Army, and the Kansai men often fought to the last man, and few surrendered to the enemy. The four words of the annihilation of the whole army on the military newspaper are tragic, but it is also a trace of tragedy and grandeur of the West boy!

However, in the past 20 years, the generals who used to take the lead are now mostly pampered, and there are fewer and fewer who are in front of the enemy. Busy accumulating land and returning to make profits. Whenever I am in battle, there are more forward-looking and backward looks. For example, this time, when the Jurchens entered the Kou, the Western Army Brigade was just waiting and watching, and although General Liu crossed the river, he never expected to fight with the Jurchens, just to pull out the formation and force these Tartars to find King Yan to fight!

will be the courage of the army, the military generals are weak, and their minds are complicated, and it is naturally unrealistic to expect the Kansai men to fight to the last person under their command.

The sergeant couldn't say anything clear, but he felt that it was really a bit unstraightforward to fight desperately for power and position for such a general. I wanted to desert and couldn't make up my mind for a while, so I walked around the wall, just feeling distressed.

The cold rain was pouring down, although it was not as violent as the previous two days, but after staying in the rain for a long time, I came back to my senses and already felt that it was cold to the bone marrow, where is it still like being in summer?

The sergeant sneezed a few times and cursed.

"Straight lady thief, it's important to go back to the camp and pour two bowls of hot soup first. If you fall ill, no matter if you stay here or return to your hometown, how can you have the strength to persevere! It's really not possible, find a no-one place at night to find a penny to throw, just stay, and leave. No bird kung fu just love to toss their own home! ”

At this time, in the midst of the rain, a faint sound came from afar.

The sound was like rain turning abruptly, and thousands of violent raindrops were pounding on the muddy ground. However, looking back, the rain has not increased by the slightest bit.

The sergeant stood still in confusion and looked out to the west where the sound had come from far away. The other sergeants on sporadic duty on the wall also acted like him.

Such doubts and wait-and-see did not last long.

In the cold rain, the south side of the water. Suddenly, countless black flags appeared in the sky!

The endless Jurchen Tartar cavalry, just under these ominous black banners, the men and horses all breathed long white gas. With the galloping roar surging towards the Yellow River, the Lan water swept towards the Hehejin ferry at the same time!

The Jurchen Tartars are coming, the Jurchen Tartars are coming! And it is the back road that swept the entire Yanyan army! Where did these Jurchen Tartars come from? What are those Fold Army doing?

This heavy rain brought Yan Yanjun a false sense of security. And these Jurchen Tartars braved such a violent rain and attacked overnight, hitting the vital point!

Such an enemy, it's ridiculous that Liu Yanei still wants to scare them away purely with military strength!

The sergeant in the cloak raised his hand in a daze, pointing at the Jurchen Tartar cavalry that was constantly emerging on the edge of the sky, pointing to the black banner that had soaked up the rain, and pointing to the tired but hideous faces that had not diminished in the slightest!

The sound of warning in the Kansai dialect finally resounded violently everywhere.

"Here comes the Tartars! The Tartars are coming! ”

In the military villages everywhere, the sound of the golden drum suddenly resounded in the rain. And in the crowded camp, it was like soldiers desperately pouring out. The untidy generals did not have time to put on their clothes, so they shouted orders and commanded their corporals to rush up to the wall and defend to the end.

Although the Yan army has not been good since crossing the river, it is still one of the old foundations of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone knows that if the back road of Hehejin is cut off, the 40,000 Yan army will have no way to retreat, trapped in the mountains, and cut off from aid, the army's morale will be out of control, and it will be the annihilation of the whole army.

At this time, no matter how frightened and frightened you are, you can only rely on the camp to fight to the end!

The thirty sergeants watched the generals pouring out of the camp and shouted orders. The idea of jumping off the wall and finding a way to escape suddenly disappeared.

At the critical time, these mid-level Kansai generals had not lost their duties and were still trying to organize resistance. They are like this, why can't the Kansai men follow them and fight to the death?

But when someone stepped forward, there was another noise in the camp. And I saw how many officials who came with the army poured out of some of the camps. They either came to escort grain and grass, or to deliver the levies, or to manage the ferries, and some simply saw that the army of Yan Yan was like this, and crossed the river as a military counselor to make military merits.

At this moment, the earth shook, and the sound of golden drums sounded everywhere, and the four words of the Tartar with a poignant Kansai accent resounded all around. Facing the enemy with his back to the water, the Zhejia army was in the north of the Lan River. These men did not care about it, they broke out of the camp and tried to flee by the road, as long as they could get on the boat anchored on the shore and cross to the west shore, then it would be safe!

It was not only these civil servants who fled, but also many generals who looked like soldiers. While the robes were loudly calling for the organization of soldiers to fight against the camp, these generals were fleeing!

These generals or the children of generals have been pampered since childhood, and they have been sent by the army by inheriting their grandfather Yu Yin. But in the critical situation, he showed his true colors, and he didn't think of fighting at all, and he just wanted to save his delicate life. Or although he has experience in battle formations, what Liu Guangshi has done since he took charge of the Yan army has chilled the hearts of these generals, and he has never planned to fight hard for Liu Guangshi to the end. There are even more people who see that since others have fled, I will also flee.

Whatever the reason, these people abandoned their duties as military generals and left behind the Kansai Erlang under their command!

With so many big men leaving, the stuffed camp collapsed in an instant. How many people cried and ran, trampled on each other in the camp, fought for each other's roads, and the sound of desperate shouts resounded in the sky!

A military general looked at this scene and spat fiercely: "Straight mother thief, there is only death, how can you escape?" If we lose this place, what will happen to the 40,000 brothers to the east? ”

But his shouting and scolding was drowned in such a panicked and collapsed scene, and how many people could hear it? Those who abandoned the army and left, even if they heard it, would they stop for a while?

After the general scolded, he just looked up to the sky and sighed: "Liu Yanei, you have brought the Yan army well!" ”

Since Liu Guangshi took charge of the army, Weifu has been self-dedicated, deducting military salaries to serve himself luxuriously, and not being a soldier. For a time, regardless of the good or the bad, he drove as many military horses as possible to cross the river and fight. The cohesion of the Yan army has been reduced to the lowest in his hands. The most fundamental thing is that his intention in sending troops is not to fight with the Tartars at all, but just to pick up the cheapest!

If the commander is like this, the morale of the army is naturally scattered. And the Jurchen Tartars are indeed surprisingly strong, such a heavy rain still strikes, and appears in this scattered rear army with the greatest suddenness, so they never engaged, and the full camp collapsed!

The general picked up a spear and strode through the crowd towards the wall.

"Straight lady thief, you can't lose the face of the Kansai man. Someone must not die with their backs to these Jurchen Tartars! ”

Among the crowds that collapsed and fled, sporadic Kansai men went against the current and poured into front of the village. And the soldier who was on duty in the rain in his cloak and had deserted his mind only looked back contemptuously at the noble generals who fled the way, and then held his spear and stood firmly on the wall!
