    During Wei's time, Nianhan was wreaking havoc in the east of Hedong, and troops approached the river, eying the sky.  Liu Guangshi Zhe Keqiu hurriedly allied troops to the west, while Gaomiao organized his troops in Taiyuan Prefecture, and the war was about to begin. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? all all all could be greatly shaken in the Yan and Hebei provinces, with a hundred thousand barbarians, and galloping southward from Yan's face to face, to attack Yanjing, and overthrow Tanzhou.  However, the king of Wu'an County sent Cao Guogong's army out from the east of Feihuxing and blocked it in Yizhou to protect the Hebei front.  Wen Guogong established the town in Xiongzhou, thinking that it would have great potential.  At the right time, the British Duke and Guo Jinwu went out from Yi County to the north and patrolled between Tanyan, killing Ahudie, killing Shentuyi, and all the Jurchen East Road chieftains.  Sons and nephews.  Without waiting, Oli was furious. He surrounded Yi County and attacked fiercely for days.  Cao Guogong held on with his army, and Wen Guogong sent reinforcements from Hebei. On May 13th of the first year of Jingkang in Song Dynasty, they fought at Yishui.  Volume Three of "Jingkang's Legacy".  The rain fell continuously, covering the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white.  The water in Yishui has risen even wider, and both sides of the river bank have turned into wetlands with puddles everywhere due to continuous heavy rains.  The troops and horses gathered on both sides of the Yishui River were in iron armor and with frost-cold blades, waiting for the war to come.  In the depths of spring, the weather has become warmer for a while.  But since the beginning of summer, it has become damp and cold. The hedgehogs have gathered on both sides of the Yishui River. Everyone is breathing out long white breaths under their laps.  This year of Jingkang is destined to be ten times colder and chillier than previous years.  These troops and horses that were mobilized and prepared to fight by the river were mostly drawn from various Jurchen conspirators, 7¡ö Chang 7 ¡ö Feng 7 ¡ö Wen 7 ¡ö Xue, w¡Í¡Ú, as well as Bohai strong crossbowmen and various tribes attached to them.  military.  Now they are either lining up huddled side by side on the river bank, or preparing to fight on the rickety rafts and boats on the water's edge.  Thousands of archers were also deployed behind the continuous stockades erected on both sides of the bank.  And it is close to the south of Yi County.  Then there was another large group of infantry formations.  In case there is a conflict between troops and horses in Yi County to receive reinforcements coming from the river.  Just be prepared to fight hard.  The person who commanded the armies guarding the river was Puluhun, the Jurchen army general under Wanyan Zongbi, and the one who commanded the defenders in Yi County was another army general under Zongbi, Ba Lisu.  The person who is always responsible for this is Zongbi himself, who is sitting on a high hill.  Around his big tower, six Jurchen cavalry were deployed in layers. This was a mobile force ready to support everywhere at any time.  In addition to these Jurchen generals, the chiefs of various tribes and the Yang family commanded the Bohai crossbowmen.  They were all running back and forth in the queue, and their shouts could be heard from time to time in the rain. They were commanding and arranging their men and horses to form formations. Various flags were fluttering. There was a chilling atmosphere on both sides of the Yishui River, as if a war was about to happen.  .  These northern men and horses were prepared in formation, but in the wet and cold rain, their armor was soaked in water, slippery and thick, and they were squirming in the mud.  Prepare to fight a battle of Pinghe that is somewhat unfamiliar to them.  Under such rain, the Jurchen cavalry surrounding Zong Bi seemed to have lost the sharpness they had across the North.  The men and horses seemed a little listless, wiping their faces full of rain.  Everyone was muttering curses about this damn weather.  Wanyan Zongbi was sitting on a large bed, with a horse stem from the Song Dynasty deeply inserted into the mud, and the reins of his mount were tied to the handle of the horse stem.  Wanyan Zongbi's face was solemn, and he looked at the nearly 10,000 infantry troops under his command, watching them struggling to get to their respective positions, and looking at the infantry troops who seemed a little at a loss on rafts and boats.  From time to time, he would look back to the north. On the high hill to the north, he could also see the big flags of Zong Wang and others.  The commander-in-chief of the Jurchen East Route Army is also paying attention to the upcoming war.  However, the main force of the Jurchen cavalry mostly lives in the tents of the camp to recharge their batteries. Since the beginning of summer, the rain has been continuous and the wet, cold and cold weather is really not suitable for the Jurchen cavalry. Many people have fallen ill, and now  As much as possible, these tribal troops and auxiliary troops were mobilized into battle, while the Jurchen cavalry was resting as much as possible.  In this battle, if the reinforcements from the South can be defeated cleanly.  If there are no reinforcements from outside, the Central and Southern Army in Yi County will not be able to hold out for long, no matter how capable they are.  After calming down the anger of Zong Wang and others, the Jurchen East Route Army can be freed from Yi County and restore the army's mobility.  If we can't defeat the reinforcements, we don't know how long it will take to capture Yi County!  No wonder Zong Wang and others were watching behind him, watching to see if Zong Bi could place his heavy responsibility on him!  But at this moment, Zong Bi looked at the surging Yi Shui in front of him, which had grown several times wider. He looked at the muddy and slippery surrounding fields, and he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.  Such a war is really unfamiliar to the Northern Metro Riders!  Going south in the future, the Southern Dynasty and Hebei will use water as their troops on the border. Further south, it is said that there is a wider and turbulent Yellow River blocking it. If the southern defenders are as capable as the soldiers and horses in Yi County, the battle will be very difficult due to the favorable geographical conditions and weather.  It's hard to fight. The sharpness that swept across Yan's land at the beginning of the army's rise, I don't know if it can be reproduced!  It turns out that Zong Wang and other figures who knew the inside story of the Southern Dynasty, had a very low evaluation of the Southern Dynasty¡¯s military horses.  When the Jurchen cavalry destroyed the Liao Empire, the poor performance of the Southern Dynasties when they gathered elite Western troops to attack the Yan region and the remaining Liao Dynasty proved this point.  But I don¡¯t know when a character named Xiao Yan appeared in the Southern Dynasty, and now he is the King of Yan in the Southern Dynasty, presiding over the war against the Jurchen army!  And this sudden appearance of King Yan of the Southern Dynasty, with his troops and horses, is really capable of fighting a tough battle!  According to the limited intelligence currently available to the Jurchen high-level officials, the main force of the Yan King¡¯s army in the Southern Dynasty was gathered in Hedong.  An army of several thousand people was detached and stationed in Yizhou, and stationed along the line in front of Hebei. Now the Tianwu Army, one of the four armies under the command of King Yan, is also sent to assist.  The fighting power of the Yixian garrison has been witnessed, and now it is time to experience the strength of this Tianwu army.  If the fighting strength is no less than that of the Yixian defenders, even after capturing Yixian, it may not be easy to break into Nanchao and Hebei.  Think again about the fact that the main force of King Yan's army in the Southern Dynasty is now gathered in Hedong. Zong Han's army and horse still don't know how heavy the pressure is.  Even if the two major groups, Zong Wang and Zong Han, are at odds, Zong Bi can't help but worry about him at this time.  The Southerners were not even a match for the Liao people. The Jurchen cavalry swept through the Liao people like nothing. I originally thought that the Southerners were soft and fragile, and they could fight whenever and however they wanted.  Suddenly, the King of Birds and Yan appeared!  Although living in the army.  Zong Bi, however, became more and more upset the more he thought about it.  He wiped the rain off his face and stood up.  He took a few heavy steps to calm down.  No matter what, let¡¯s finish the battle at hand first!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Under the protection of two stockade gates extending from the south gate of Yi County, in the passage more than forty steps wide, a building has been erected in the past few days.  watchtower.  On the top of the watchtower, Liu Baozhong stood on it wearing armor and tried his best to look toward the southeast.  I saw the torrential rain and the vast curtain of rain, and the two sides of the bank were full of large groups of Tartar army horses.  The wooden rafts blocking the river have completely cut off the river channel.  On the wooden rafts, there were also crowds of people.  They were all Tartar defenders.  To the east of the Zhai Gate, outside the several military strongholds guarding the Shuiguan Zhai Gate passage, you can see the Jurchen infantry in formation.  They were all armored Cangtou Pai and other authentic Jurchen auxiliary troops. The formation was quite strict, and they were even more heavily deployed due to their strength advantage.  He looked ready.  Not to mention that behind such an infantry array, there must be a large group of Jurchen cavalry to provide support!  Lu Yong risked his life to break through the blockade and brought news of the arrival of reinforcements. Please ask Yi County to cooperate when the time comes.  As soon as the Jurchen troops and horses moved, Yi County knew that reinforcements were coming.  They also quickly mobilized troops and horses to prepare for reinforcements.  But looking at the array layout of this Jurchen, I don¡¯t know if I can get through when the time comes!  He lowered his head and looked down.  I saw two infantry troops carefully selected by the commander to sit down and rest behind the stockade fence. In the rain curtain, everyone wore a fan-yang hat on their head to protect them from the rain, and Hongying was lying down limply from the rain.  A commanding cavalryman was also dismounting and resting. After days of fighting in the city, the men and horses looked thin and tired, and they just waited in silence.  Only Yang Zaixing still looked energetic, walking around impatiently at the front of the queue.  For Liu Baozhong, the more the Jurchen army defended the reinforcements, the more they showed their determination to conquer Yi County.  It is naturally a good thing to be able to delay the Jurchen army and horses longer.  As long as the energy source maintains support, Liu Baozhong is confident that with his men, he can fight the Jurchen Tatars until the end of time! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Under the protection of such an advantageous Jurchen Tatar, this steady stream of aid, but we don¡¯t know how many sacrifices the Tianwu Army will have to make?  " Moreover, Liu Baozhong always has hidden worries. If the Tianwu Army opens up the backup channel through bloody battles, the Jurchen Tatars will understand that Yi County cannot be surrounded.  Will these Jurchen Tatars regain their senses and stop fighting for their lives in Yi County?  What actions will you take then?  After all, this is one hundred thousand barbarians, and the Tianwu Army and the Yixian garrison combined are far inferior.  As for the mobilized troops of the Hebei Forbidden Army, Liu Baozhong could not trust them at all!  On the occasion of the battle, when reinforcements were about to arrive, Liu Baozhong was a little upset.  But after all, he was a battle-hardened veteran. He calmed down after taking a few deep breaths. He felt something in his heart and whispered an order to the guards around him: "Let the men wear armor! It seems that the battle is about to begin!"  ¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~ On the Yishui River, a fleet of boats sailed upstream.  This fleet is all large ships that have been collected on various roads in Hebei Province. They passed through the river and were concentrated near Baigouyi. They were reinforced and transformed to enable them to go into battle.  In addition to food, fodder and ordnance, the fleet is composed of elite strikers drawn from the Tianwu Army. Half of them are Yan Dierlang and former Yongning Army veterans, and the other half are Hebei warriors who dare to fight.Born in Liangshanbo, Hebei Province, he is a person with deep water nature.  On each boat, cooked cowhide and fine netting are hung on both sides, and side signs are also placed.  In the gap, a crossbow machine protruded.  What protects the crossbow is Yaya's forked spear.  Each boat has sixteen oars on the left and right, which are paddled against the current and divided into waves.  The oarsmen were all strong and sturdy boatmen. They were shirtless in this weather, their muscles were bulging, and their heads were steaming.  On the deck, in addition to the boatmen, there are military officers and soldiers.  Fighting by the river, one cannot wear heavy armor.  Everyone just bunts.  Their heads were covered with pig urine, and tied with a band around their foreheads.  The feet are also made of lightweight hemp and straw shoes, with several strips of cloth tied to the soles to increase friction.  Those who are not water-resistant are either operating crossbows or holding spears, preparing to fight from the boats.  As for those sergeants who are skilled in water, they all lead short soldiers, which is a great addition to a small shield.  This is the dead man who is ready to rush to the river blockade and fight to clear a bloody path for the fleet!  Although the recent rise in water has made it possible for large ships to pass, the river channel cannot be compared with those big rivers in the south.  The fleet was traveling in the river, only thirty or forty steps away from both banks.  On both sides of the strait, one could already see the patrols chasing the fleet to the northwest. The ferocious faces of the Hulu, who were soaked to the skin and whose men and horses were breathing out white air, seemed to be clearly visible.  The barbarians on the shore did not fire a single shot, and everyone on the ship, from the generals to the soldiers to the boatmen, had sullen faces, and no one uttered a word easily.  On the first boat, a general who was also beaten but wiped his forehead with a red cloth was just standing on the bow.  This general¡¯s surname was Li Mingjun. Like Yue Fei, he was a warrior from Hebei Province, and they were even under the same command.  It was only after the war in Yan was over that the Hebei warriors were demobilized, and then they joined the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army. Over the years, they accumulated merit and were promoted to the rank of commander.  He grew up on the edge of Liangshan Mountain and had an old business of selling smuggled salt on boats. He has extensive experience in fighting on the water.  This time, it was because of his arrogance in front of Yu Jiang that he was sent to lead the first batch of reinforcements north to Yi County to respond to the reinforcements.  There was a flood of refugees from the Yan region, and the fleet heading north was full of devastation on both sides of the river. We also saw the destruction of the Yan region during the war that day.  How could Li Jun not know what a tragic scene would be like if one hundred thousand Tartars rushed into Hebei?  The brothers in Yi County have held back the Jurchen Tatars. As people from Hebei, it is appropriate for them to fight to the death to support them.  It would be better if we could keep the Tartars here for one more day!  Wait until the King of Yan turns his troops to fight these Tartars again!  In the rain curtain water and gas, a river bend turned, and suddenly it appeared, which stretched the villagers along the river bank, and countless puppets before the Zhaiza!  The sound of the horn penetrated the rain curtain and sounded suddenly.  And Li Jun also shouted angrily: "Add an oar and rush over!"
