Chapter 688

Boom! Wu Qunlie punched the case, gritted his teeth, and said, "Master Governor Ming Jian, immediately implement the strategy of the Governor, tell Liao and Xu, immediately abandon the Hukou line of defense, and evacuate immediately, waiting to join our army! "

He who was hesitant just now finally made a final decision.

"Yes!" The herald took the order and rushed away.

Wu Qunlie waved his hands and summoned the generals to walk to the map, and pointed along the Jiangfang from north to south, "According to the commander-in-chief's intention, Jiangfang should be completely abandoned, but don't let go of them all. The men and horses will stop me from going south. Starting from the north, I will let go one after another. The army will gather all the way south and gather heavy troops to attack Zhang Hu and Xu Jingyue who then crossed the river. If the battle goes well, let it go; Entangling the truth with the truth, not giving the Yan army a chance to supply, and killing the Yan army in our country of Song!"

...

"Hmph!" Zhang Hu, who received the report of Guo Xianfu's successful robbery of grain in the temporary tent, sneered, and immediately ordered, "Send a message to Xu Jingyue immediately, and immediately cross the river to attack without delay!"

...

A golden wing fell into the barracks on the opposite bank, and Xu Jingyue quickly turned out of the tent. Following his order, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses all started to move, and immediately crossed the river!

...

"My lord, Xu Jingyue's men and horses are starting to cross the river!"

In the Chinese military tent built among the ruins, Liao Nanqing and Xu Laiping quickly got out of the big tent after an urgent call, and both ran to a high place. When they climbed up and looked into the distance, they saw a wooden raft carrying people down the river on the opposite bank. rush down.

Liao Nanqing said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, you lead 200,000 troops to defend the rear to prevent Zhang Hu from attacking from behind, and I lead the rest to defend against Xu Jingyue's troops landing! We support each other, and if the situation is not good, we will immediately support each other. "

"Okay!" Xu Laiping responded immediately, and Liao Nanqing sent his lieutenant to cooperate with Xu Laiping to organize the troops.

There was no way, Xu Laiping didn't have enough 200,000 troops, so he needed the cooperation of Liao Nanqing's troops.

Soon, more than 400,000 troops were divided into two groups, defending front and rear.

It didn't take long, the sound of killing on the bank of the river was already loud, Xu Jingyue's force attacked, which was much better than when Zhang Hu's force attacked, all the shore defense throwing facilities were destroyed by Zhang Hu.

On the shore and on the river, people from both sides fired arrows at each other, and a large number of people on both sides continued to fall.

After the rain of arrows rested for a while, the monks from both sides rushed out again, fighting desperately on the river.

Xu Jingyue's men and horses rushed to the shore at all costs, and those who rushed to the shore were hacked to death by the Song army, but the men and horses on the wooden raft on the river still rushed to the shore bravely.

Xu Laiping, who was in charge of the rear defense, climbed high and looked far away. As expected, Zhang Hu was going to attack Xu Jingyue inside and outside, and he could already see Zhang Hu's army slowly advancing here.

When he saw the lineup of Zhang Hu's army clearly, his eyes widened a lot, and his expression twitched violently.

A large number of throwing facilities were pushed by Zhang Hu, all of which were dismantled from the Hukou defense line before, secretly transported away in advance, and all assembled and pulled back at this time.

"Fire the arrow!" Xu Laiping roared with his sword drawn, not wanting Zhang Hu's army to approach.

Amidst the rapid tinkling, Zhang Hu's army guarded with shields and continued to advance with a pile of wooden frames. Although some people fell down from time to time, they could not stop the army from advancing.

"Don't mess up, move forward, keep going!" Some generals shouted loudly, ignoring the fallen personnel from the arrows, and continued to force the army to maintain the formation and advance.

Once at a suitable distance, a lot of fireballs were ignited here, which was exactly what Xu Laiping used to attack Zhang Hu's troops across the river. Before Xu Laiping retreated too hastily, all kinds of supplies were left to Zhang Hu. At this time, Zhang Hu Repay the other body with the way of the other.

"Let it go!" With an order, the throwing wooden arm bounced up and down, and one after another the fireballs flew towards the opposite side.

The flames that were smashed in the opponent's camp blazed all over the place, and the crock and oil jug in the fireball shattered and splattered with flames, bringing the burning kerosene to burn people running around, screaming and screaming endlessly.

The defensive facilities on the line of defense had been demolished by Zhang Hu ahead of time, and it was difficult for Song soldiers and horses to find a place to hide, which quickly plunged the area into a sea of ​​flames.

There were also big stones thrown by the catapults falling from the sky, rumbling into the camp of the Song army, and screaming continuously.

The defense line commanded by Xu Laiping was in chaos in an instant, and the bow and arrow formation was broken, but now Zhang Hu's arrow rain counterattacked.

The crowd caught in the sea of ​​flames and rock attacks did not care to use their shields to protect the rain of arrows falling from the sky, and the people and horses fell one by one.

"Help me!" Someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, unable to move. Seeing fireballs falling from the sky, he panicked and called for help, but was blasted by a falling boulder, causing flesh and blood to fly everywhere.

The cultivator who rushed out here wanted to destroy the opponent's sharp weapon, but was suppressed by countless arrows.

Xu Laiping turned his head and glanced at the men and horses who were constantly attacking the river defense by the river, and then turned his head to look in front of him, his face was full of grief and indignation, and there were tears in his eyes.

He knew that this side had been tricked, that this side was over, and that the line of defense could no longer be held.

He also knew that he could no longer let the opponent rely on sharp weapons to attack like this, so he drew his sword and roared, "Come on!"

"Kill!" Song Jun immediately rushed out of the chaos, holding up his shield and attacking.

Following Zhang Hu's order, the shield array in front quickly retreated, letting go of the front, and the archers at the front immediately switched to shooting flat, while the archers at the back continued to shoot.

"Master Xu!" A monk exclaimed, and several other monks exclaimed together.

Xu Laiping actually snatched a shield in his hand, and as the chief general, he swung his sword and rushed out along with the other soldiers.

A rain of arrows was thrown in the air, and Xu Laiping raised his shield to resist. With the sound of jingling, the soldiers rushing in front suddenly fell down. When he got up, he was hit in the chest by an arrow.

Immediately after more than a dozen arrows were shot, his body trembled wildly, and one of the arrows happened to hit one side of his eye socket.

When Xu Laiping, who was bleeding from his mouth and nose, fell backwards, he was grabbed by several monks who rushed over and quickly dragged him back.

Song Jun rushed forward without hesitation, and soon arrived in front of him. The archers at the front of the Yan army retreated quickly, and the shieldmen stepped forward again, building shield defenses to block the impact of the flesh and blood of the Song army, while the spears behind the shield pierced out from the gap between the shields, smashing batch after batch. .

Amidst the rumbling sound, the monks of the Song Dynasty who rushed along with them destroyed the shield defense with sword energy.

The monks from the country of Yan immediately flew out in groups, fighting bloody battles with the monks from the country of Song.

"Rush!" Zhang Hu swung his sword and roared.

"Kill!" The Yan army immediately launched a full-scale countercharge, and the two sides fought bloody together...

At the front of Jiangfang, a general in armor stained with blood ran to Liao Nanqing's side, and said sadly: "My lord, Master Xu died in battle!"

"What?" Liao Nanqing turned around and exclaimed. It can be said that he instantly remembered the scene of Xu Laiping entrusting the small family in Jingzhong before his death. How do you still have the face to come back alive?"

The lieutenant burst into tears and wept bitterly: "My lord, go quickly, the enemy's attack is too fierce, and I can't defend from the rear! The last general is incompetent and can no longer follow the lord, the last general will take a step first!" Get up and swipe the sword directly on the neck.

The action was quick and neat, without hesitation, blood sprayed Liao Nanqing's face on the spot.

Liao Nanqing was stunned, blood dripped from his blinking eyelids, and the general just fell in front of him...

Liao Nanqing himself didn't know how he escaped from the battlefield where the roar of killing was loud, he only knew that he was constantly fighting.

When the ears were cleared, there were only thousands of blood-stained soldiers around. Some wounded couldn't hold on, and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

He was snatched out of the siege by a group of monks.

"General Liao, you are injured." A monk wanted to help him remove his blood-stained armor and heal the cut on his back.

Liao Nanqing pushed him away and looked at the thousands of soldiers who looked at him silently.

More than 400,000 horses! That's all there is left? Is that all that is left of those brothers who have followed him for many years?

"Ah..." Liao Nanqing suddenly waved his sword and roared in grief and anger at the sky, and then swung his sword to slash the grass and trees around him like a madman.

A group of embarrassed and insensitive people watched quietly.

...

Hundreds of thousands of Song soldiers fled, of course not only a few thousand people, but also not only from one direction, about 20,000 to 30,000 people escaped, fleeing in all directions, there was a large number of people, and there was no way to chase them. The four scattered and chased and fled.

What do you mean by corpses strewn across the field? In front of you, you mean corpses strewn across the field. Gong Lince and the others stood on the ruins and looked around.

Hundreds of thousands of corpses were lying in front of him. Compared with what he saw, the fighting and killing of monks was nothing. Gong Lince was very silent. It was the first time he had seen so many people die in one battle.

The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it was pungent, and the flowing blood had already dyed the river red.

In the red-stained river, a raft docked, Xu Jingyue arrived, and the group went ashore to look around the miserable battlefield.

The soldiers of Yan who cleaned the battlefield were searching for the rations carried by the corpses of the Song soldiers. Someone was holding baskets to cooperate. There was really a shortage of food here, as long as there was any, they would not let it go.

The cleaned up corpses are thrown directly into the river, and there is no way to deal with them without throwing them into the river, and the only way is to throw them into the river, which is the most convenient way.

Zhang Hu showed up to meet Xu Jingyue.

"Where is Meng Shuai? Allow me to pay a visit." Xu Jingyue said.

Zhang Hu: "Meng Shuai is too tired. Here I tapped his acupoints and forced him to sleep. Let him sleep for a while longer."

Xu Jingyue nodded, "There are not enough rafts. There are nearly 200,000 people on the other side who have not crossed the river. I will use this raft to meet them."

Zhang Hu understood that there were not enough rafts sent back after crossing the river earlier, so he waved a general over to cooperate with Xu Jingyue.

After that, the two generals walked hand in hand among the piles of corpses to inspect the battlefield.

Seeing so many corpses, Xu Jingyue asked, "How many soldiers are there?"

"It looks like it ran for 20,000 to 30,000 people, but there are no soldiers."

"You executed all the soldiers?"

"No, no one surrendered, and those who did not escape will fight to the death. This group of people is very powerful. In this case, we also sent 100,000 people in."

"No one surrendered?" Xu Jingyue was quite surprised, "What kind of characters are these Liao Nanqing and Xu Laiping?"

Zhang Hu: "It doesn't matter what kind of person he is, I have to kill him if he surrenders. I don't have that much food to support them."

Xu Jingyue looked around and said sincerely: "They are all good men, but it's a pity that the general is incompetent!"
