Chapter 277 The Yellow River is roaring

The rushing Yellow River roared, and waves were endlessly slapped the yellow land on both sides of the straits.

Wanyan Zonghan knelt on the beach and gasped heavily, staring at the rushing yellow river with his blood-red eyes.

This river, called mother by the southern barbarians, is turbid, with fine sand rolling and undulating in the river water, and the straw and rotten wood washed down by the river water are carried and floating in the water. It swallows all obstacles and runs to the distant ocean without stopping.

Looking back on how energetic he was when he went south to cross the river. In his eyes, the Song Dynasty was just a random ranch.

At that time, he stepped across this chasm with a conquerora spirit and vowed to take all the places he saw as his own land. But at this moment, he was once energetic, but was chased by the southern barbarians who had always looked down upon, and had no way to go. At this time, he was blocked on the bank of the Yellow River and looked at the Taotao River and didn't know where to go.

Before, Wanyan Zonghan was beaten by Yan Fei's grenades and tanks at the Nanxun Gate City, and then Yue Fei swept across the road with heavy cavalry, causing nearly 100,000 troops to completely collapse. He fled and retreated all the way until he gathered with other Jin soldiers who were retreating from the city gates. He barely stopped and began to gather the defeated troops.

But what Wanyan Zonghan did not expect was that Yan Fei opened the city gate early the next morning and led tens of thousands of troops out of the city to fight the remnants of the Jin soldiers.

If it were in the past, these more than 100,000 imperial guards would not have been taken seriously by Wanyan Zonghan and the others. Once, a small cavalry reconnaissance force on the bank of the Yellow River scared tens of thousands of imperial guards to collapse. In the eyes of the Jin soldiers, these imperial guards were just lambs to be slaughtered.

But it was different at this time, because the front end of this army was the steel giant beast that destroyed the entire array like a destruction yesterday. Behind this steel giant were tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry. Behind the heavy armored cavalry were more armored soldiers. As for the largest number of imperial guards, at most, they were shaking flags and shouting, but this was enough.

There is no suspense in the next battle. Wanyan Zonghan's main force has been defeated under Nanxun Sect. Wanyan Zongwang's troops suffered heavy losses due to Yan Fei's several blows. The morale was low. Although the two sides gathered to gather together to gather the remaining troops after the defeated troops, the morale was low, the organization was chaotic, and there was no force to launch a large-scale decisive battle immediately.

The same is true on the battlefield. When Yan Fei drove the tank first to tear the Jin soldiers' array, Yue Fei led a powerful heavy armored cavalry to swarm. If you could escape when facing the tank, then tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry roared and there would be no way to fight.

The heavy cavalry led by Yue Fei swept over the Jin soldiers' military formation like a wind storm. The array was torn apart, crushed, and strangled. Iron armored soldiers like an iron city wall pressed over with rumbling steps, and all of this directly led to the collapse of the Jin soldiers.

A large number of Jin soldiers were killed and surrounded, and many chose to surrender. The escaped Jin soldiers followed Wanyan Zonghan and others closely to the bank of the Yellow River. By the time they gathered their troops, the number was less than 30,000.

Previously, more than 100,000 troops went south to encircle Bianliang City, but at this time there were only less than 30,000 left. Although many people were still scattered everywhere, the Song army was chasing everywhere, and the land of the Song Dynasty was full of king-supporting soldiers and people. They could not defeat the main force of the Jin army, but there was no problem with dealing with the defeated soldiers. Those people could no longer be included in the military power.

"What should I do now?" Wanyan Zongwang, who was also exhausted, came to Zong Han's side, his eyes a little dull.

"Let's go to Tongguan." Before Wanyan Zonghan could speak, Wanyan Yinshu, who was standing beside him, was already anxiously shouting, "There is still 50,000 troops there. Let's go and join them first and then defeat those Song troops!"

Wanyan Yinshu is considered a young man among the Jin army. He would have been scolded for interrupting the two generals so rudely. However, his morale was depressed when the troops were defeated in chaos and battles, and no one was in the mood to pay attention to these things. However, there were people who agreed and opposed this suggestion.

Wanyan Zonghan and other Western Army members expressed their support. They could meet with Wanyan Loushi in Tongguan along the Yellow River. There were still tens of thousands of soldiers there, and at least their strength could be restored.

However, Wanyan Zongwang and other people from the Eastern Route Army opposed it because it was not a day or two to go west. Moreover, they were all operating within the enemy's territory. The Song army that defeated them outside Bianliang City would inevitably pursue them all the way after they seized the surrounding defeated soldiers. They would be doomed if they could not reach Tongguan at all.

"Where did these Song troops emerge?" Wanyan Yinshu was full of doubts. They have been invincible since their invasion of the Song Dynasty. The Song troops were weak and even inferior to the Liao army. However, they were directly attacked by this Song army under the city of Bianliang.

It is still understandable to those heavy cavalry and iron armored soldiers, but the steel monster was completely unaware of where it emerged. This is not something that human power can resist. The main reason why the army collapsed so quickly is that it was invulnerable to swords and guns, and that it would kill and injure a large area of ​​steel monsters as soon as it spits fire.

"I don't know." Wanyan Zongwang looked at the Taotao River in front of him and shook his head. He had never been as confused as he is now. Even during the Battle of Buddagang, he was not afraid of the hundreds of thousands of main forces of Liao Kingdom. He thought that he was just killing them. But at this time, Wanyan Zongwang was trembling. When the entire army that was beaten before collapsed, he didn't even dare to look back and take a look.

"I heard that Yan Fei was a god descending to earth?" Wanyan Zonghan was very scheming and placed a spy in Bianliang City early and attracted some people during his previous negotiations with the envoy of Song State. Therefore, he learned more about the things in Bianliang City. "It is said that this person has boundless magic power, can turn stones into gold and control ancient divine beasts."

This statement can be laughed to death in the modern world. But in this era, there is a very market. Moreover, these Jin soldiers have witnessed Yan Fei driving flying monsters and the steel giant beasts that appeared on the battlefield before. This is the main reason for the collapse of the Jin soldiers' morale.

Facing the gods, even the bravest Jin soldiers would be desperate. Wanyan Zonghan also noticed this and had to force suppress it in fear, and then began to persuade the people around him to go to Tongguan.

There are not many people left in them now, only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers. Once they are caught up by the Song army, there is no possibility of escaping. Therefore, in Wanyan Zonghan's view, it is best to join the 50,000 troops in Tongguan and then go north through Taiyuan to return to Yunzhong. Moreover, if you go north from here, the road is narrow and rugged, and there are many mountain roads. It can effectively prevent the pursuit of the Song army's heavy cavalry.

Compared with Yan Fei's tanks, the lethality and deterrence brought by tens of thousands of iron armored heavy cavalry are even more terrifying. Most of the casualties are caused by those heavy cavalry, and the Jurchen cavalry cannot fight against them at all.

However, this is a military benefit, but from a political perspective, Wanyan Zongwang's Eastern Route Army was unwilling to follow them. Although the Eastern Route Army was defeated, it still maintained about 20,000 troops. They insisted on returning from Hebei to Yanjing. The two sides quarreled over the new army route.

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Just as a group of noble people were arguing, a cold roar interrupted everyone's argument. Looking at him, a young Jurchen general shouted loudly, "We are very dangerous now! The Song army will chase after us soon, and we have no way to retreat on the bank of this river! The most important thing now is to cross the river first! Cross the river!"

"Jin Wushu." Wanyan Zongwang frowned and scolded, "There is no place for you to speak here."

Jin Wushu, also known as Wanyan Zongbi. In history, he led the Gunzima, Tiefutu and Yue Fei's battle was finally wiped out, and he shouted out the Jin Wushu who was the easy to shake the mountain and the difficult to shake the Yue family's army.

At this time, Jin Wushu had not yet made his debut, he was just a leader of a small tribe. It would be a risky thing to interrupt without authorization when so many great nobles were talking. Once the great nobles got angry and chopped him down, the tribe would be completely finished.

Fortunately, Wanyan Zonghan had enough brains and instantly understood what Jin Wushu meant. Although they fled to the bank of the Yellow River, this place was not a safe place. When the Song army under Bianliang City cleaned up the defeated troops and cleaned the battlefield, they would definitely chase them all the way.

"The Yellow River blocked us. Once the cavalry caught up and snare all the way, it won't take long to play everything." Jin Wushu's expression was excited, "We must cross the river as soon as possible!"

Wanyan Zongwang is the son of Wanyan Aguda, and he attaches great importance to identity and other aspects. Jin Wushu, who is the leader of a small tribe, naturally doesn't like much. "How can you cross the river without a boat now? We have our own plans, so you don't have to talk too much."

However, compared to Wanyan Zongwang, Zonghan admired Jin Wushu very much. Jin Wushu was also fighting under his command before. He valued this young man more and understood that it was indeed not a good time for quarrels. "Jin Wushu was right, we must cross the river as soon as possible. Once the Song army chased us, it would be all over."

"The soldiers were exhausted and had no food to eat until now." Some heads with inflexible heads complained, "Even if people don't rest, they have to let the horse eat, right?"

"Jin Wushu." Wanyan Zonghan ignored the complaint and directly issued an order, "You take people along the river to collect ships, and the others rest on the spot to feed the horses and then gather the defeated soldiers."

Wanyan Zonghan had a high prestige, otherwise he would not be able to compete with Wanyan Zongwang as a non-royal family and gain the upper hand. Therefore, the quarrel was indeed calmed after the order was issued. Of course, this was also related to the concession between Wanyan Zongwang and others. At this time, he still thought that internal friction was something that only a real idiot would do.

The collection of ships was not smooth. The Jin soldiers invaded the south and burned, killing and looting everywhere, causing the nearby people to flee one after another. Moreover, the place where they crossed the river before was not near Bianliang City. Jin Wushu ran almost hundreds of miles before robbing more than a dozen ships.

Although it is almost impossible to rely on more than a dozen ships to send tens of thousands of people across the river in a short period of time, it is better than not. After spending a night in panic on the bank of the Yellow River, the next day at dawn, the Jin soldiers finally began to cross the river.
