A large number of refugees from the Yan region are pouring in, and scenes of chaos and panic are everywhere. Martial law has begun in border prefectures and counties, and people in Hebei's border areas are either fleeing or staying.  He was drafted as a civilian husband and served as a transporter of grain and baggage.  Since Emperor Daojun came to the throne, there have been more and more heavy tax increases, an increasingly corrupt ruling system, and a worse and worse future.  Coupled with the continuous wars and fires in recent years.  Even ordinary people in the Song Dynasty.  I can't help but feel that this dynasty is doomed. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? wasn't the kind of chaos that happened in the Five Dynasties more than a hundred years ago, when the princes attacked each other, and the Khitans took advantage of the situation and entered.  The tragic scene of bloodbath throughout northern China.  These common people who have begun to be homeless again can't help but look forward to what kind of heroes will emerge who can resist these Jurchen Tatars who destroyed the Liao Kingdom!  Amidst the chaos of war, some good news finally spread in the Hebei border area.  The King of Yan sent his army out from Feihuxing and stationed in Yizhou to attack the Jurchen army.  There was an invincible general in King Yan's army called Yang Yicheng who killed more than ten Jurchen kings in formation, causing the Jurchen army to abandon Hebei and besiege Yixian County.  I've had my head bruised and bloody over the past few days.  The Tianwu Army, which is now stationed on the border of Hebei, has also begun to organize reinforcements.  Prepare to fight all the way along Yishui and fight to the death with the Jurchen Tatars under the city of Yixian County to keep the roads in Hebei safe!  When such news came, the people above saw there were many cars and horses on the road.  The boats and oars on the river were connected to each other, and they were all transporting the army, horses, food and baggage in the direction of Baigouyi, and the fleet composed of the Tianwu Army also began to move north from Baigouyi in the direction of Yishui.  The hearts of the people in the border areas of Hebei were lifted. I don¡¯t know how many people began to pay homage to Yang Yichang, Tianwu Army general Yu Jiang, and even the immortal tablet of the legendary King Yan. They burned incense and prayed day and night, waiting for the news of their victory.  Come on!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~ It rained heavily and the wind howled.  White waves roll up the Yishui River.  When the Jurchens of the Song Dynasty gathered tens of thousands of troops, they were preparing for a showdown here.  This piece of Yi Shui seemed to be infected with the murderous aura, churning like an angry dragon!  In the rain.  Up and down the river.  I don¡¯t know how many people are busy in the rain.  These busy ant-like crowds are the armies driven by the Jurchens and the civilians who were plundered from the entire Yan land.  On the river bank, wooden castles were erected one after another.  On the top of the wooden fort, heavy crossbows captured from Yanjing Tanzhou or even the Khitan people were set up. These crossbows fired arrows that looked like iron spears, and they hit the mark this time.  The thick ship planks can be shot to pieces!  And in the river, many shirtless folk were floating in the white-capped river.  They desperately set up a defense line against the river.  The wooden piles were driven deeply into the mud of the river bottom, and the wooden piles were connected and fixed with leather ropes.  In addition to the wooden piles, there are wooden rafts connected together.  This time, the wooden rafts were all connected with long boards, forming a water city that blocked the river.  Is it more than ten times stronger than the previous raft?  Heavy crossbow machines were also deployed on such river-blocking water cities, and the Cangtou bombardment of the brigade was driven to these wooden drainage cities to defend themselves.  Three such river dams were being built at the same time!  If the siege of Yi County was simply to let a few Jurchen generals vent their anger, they originally thought that with the strength of the Jurchen army, they could fall and ravage the city at will.  But after the siege for a period of time, the Jurchen army seemed to have real fire, and they would pull out this nail no matter what.  They even did not hesitate to make a big splash on the Yishui River, saying that they would cut off the water access of the defenders in the city. Even if it was a long siege, the Yixian city would be trapped to death!  How many true Jurchen generals are among these?The busy auxiliary soldiers and civilians were running around and shouting, and the rainwater flowed down their fur hats. Every Jurchen Tatar looked irritable and tired.  Such weather made the Jurchen Tatars, who were used to the dry and cold weather in the north outside the Great Wall, feel particularly uncomfortable with their cavalry.  Coupled with the anger of the troops under the small city, they were very ruthless when supervising the work. Within a few days, no one knew how many people were killed by these Jurchen Tatars at will!  Heavy work, very few rations, and harsh environment.  Even without the swords of these Jurchen Tatars, many civilians were busy in the water, and suddenly their whole body went limp and they fell into the rapids.  The numb students around him continued to work mechanically as if they didn't see it.  The Jurchen troops were launched. Although the war between the two sides was just beginning, no one knew how many lives were lost so quickly.  And the destructive ability of the Jurchen army has only been exposed to one tenth or tenth!  High on the bank of Yishui, a stout figure sat on a bed in the rain without covering his head.  From time to time, orders were passed down, asking the guards around him to rush to a certain construction site to supervise and speed up the progress.  This sturdy figure is none other than Wanyan Zongbi, who was often referred to as Jin Wushu in later generations.  Since Tanzhou and Yanjing joined forces.  Wanyan Zongbi had been following his brother Zongwang, and now he was given the task of commanding more than ten thousand troops and horses to block the river and intercept the southern reinforcements.  Although Wanyan Zongbi is not as capable as his brothers who have already established a reputation in all aspects at the moment, he has always been considered a rising star of the Wanyan family.  And every time he received an assignment, he was pragmatic and thorough and worked tirelessly.  He has shown a bit of the temperament of a future army commander.  (The so-called commander of the army is not just a feather fan and silk scarf. Qu Youcuo, Zhou Langgu, can lead it with such a cool and unrestrained personality. The most basic thing is to be able to endure hardships and stand hard work. You must be able to control all aspects of a large army from your mouth to your eyes and your feet.  They must be careful and able to endure hard work. Why do some generals lose control of the army once they become arrogant? Simply put, they move less and manage less, and their cohesion naturally decreases when they are in battle.  The command and dispatch cannot be appropriate. The saying that if the whole army does not sleep, one will not sleep, and if the whole army does not eat, one will not eat. It is not just a gesture to show that we share the joys and sorrows, but we must really see that the whole army has food, and that the whole army can have something to eat.  Sleeping in a sheltered place from the wind and rain, as a commander of the army, you can stay down-to-earth¡ª¡ªOscar press  He wiped the rain off his face and started to complain.  "Why are you delaying here? There is mold in the bones! Zong Bi, go and ask Zong Wang for orders. Now let us go south and find the southerners to fight! No matter how many soldiers and horses the southerners have, I will  I promise to crush it in a while! If it doesn¡¯t, let Zong Wang chop off my head!¡± Wanyan Zongbi remained calm.  He just asked coldly: "Why is your wooden city that blocks the river so slow? What are you doing here again?" Na Mouke said angrily: "Seven to eight hundred people have died in the past three days, and there are not enough manpower!" Wanyan Zongbi  He raised his hand and pointed at the Jurchen camp behind him: "Go and drive out all the women in the camp and let them come in!" Na Mouke was startled.  The people who rushed to the river and used their lives to fill in the river defense lines were naturally men and women. The Jurchen Tatars were not so sympathetic to southern women.  Those who can still stay in the camp at this moment are naturally of some beauty. Those who will be used as playthings for maids and concubines in the tents of various Jurchen generals in the future are regarded as the personal property of each Jurchen general.  It is in this Muke's tent.  There are also five or six left, and two of them are pretty and must be the daughters of the rich families in Yandi.  It makes this Mou Ke very fond of it.  Mou Ke was just stunned for a moment, but Zong Bi had already stood up, waved his hand and hit him hard in the face with a whip.  There was an explosion of whips, and a bloody gash opened on Muke's face, and blood mixed with rain rolled down.  "With this appearance, you still want to overwhelm the Southern troops in one fell swoop? You know, even the Southern troops in the city may be stronger than you at this moment! When did you start to dare to question Zong Wanghe's orders? What if there are still people in the camp today?  If a woman is not driven into the river, I will fill you into the river!" In Zong Bi's cold voice, Muke retreated hastily.  Not long after, Zong Bi, who was still standing tall like a statue, saw how many southern women were driven out of the camp.  These women, who had become the playthings of the Jurchen Tatars, were thinly dressed and had scars on their bodies and faces. They were driven numbly in the rain and then filled into the busy construction sites. In a short period of time, there were already many  When a person loses his footing and falls into the rapids, he can only hear short, sharp shouts that are quickly drowned out.  This tragic scene was completely out of Zong Bi¡¯s mind.  He just pondered over where this war would go.  He was a little puzzled at first when he marched under Yizhou City.  But when my brother ordered me to do so, I resolutely obeyed.??.  Now Zong Bi had a vague feeling that his brother's actions seemed to have profound meaning.  Maybe it¡¯s the summer that¡¯s approaching, and in the southern Hebei province, there are ditches and waterways rising.  For the Jurchen army and horses, it is not a suitable season for fighting.  With the entire Yan land behind them, the plundering is enough to support this army through the summer, and take advantage of the cool autumn to move south in one fell swoop?  Maybe it¡¯s because the southern army, which is said to be run by King Yan, has shown enough combat power that Zong Wang and others have to be a little wary.  A team of thousands of people is so difficult to deal with.  Not to mention that the Tianwu Army run by King Yan was also deployed along Hebei, and across Taihang, there was also the main force led by King Yan!  Maybe Zong Wang was waiting for Zong Han on the west route to entangle King Yan's army and horses more tightly and alleviate his worries about the flanks, before heading south in a big way?  Or maybe they just wanted to use Yi County to attract the southern troops and horses to come to the rescue, so that they could conduct a decisive battle in Yan, defeat the southern defenders, and move south without any resistance?  After much deliberation, Zong Bi only felt that the last guess was more reliable.  No matter what, it's a good thing that the southern reinforcements are coming!  I just hope they are willing to come!  Amidst the rain, dozens of horses suddenly came at a high speed. They found Zongbi's tall tower and came at a high speed.  As these knights came closer, it could be seen that they were all sentry knights of the real Jurchen. The rain soaked their armor and leather robes, and each of their faces looked blue and gray with exhaustion.  Dozens of knights were stopped by the guards until Zong Bi arrived.  The leader of the Jurchen army strode up to Zong Bi and bowed down heavily.  "Zong Bi, reinforcements from the South are coming! More than a hundred miles away, they are heading straight down the Yishui River!" Zong Bi stood up suddenly and punched him fiercely.  "Well done!"
