    On top of the city wall of Yifang, Wanyan Oru was looking for a place on the wall to put his clothes on and lie down.  ¡ê¡ØThe Jurchen generals on the East Road have gradually become more luxurious. When marching and fighting, they used the luxurious tents of the Liao people to hang up.  However, among the tough and hard-working generals of the Jurchen West Route Army, with the exception of Wanyan Xiyin, the legacy of the time when the army was launched from Hushui has not been diminished much.  In the past few days, Wanyan Xiyin had never had a free day either inspecting the city defenses or going to the front line to supervise the mobilization of defenses to resist Xiao Yan's troops.  When he's hungry, he grabs two mouthfuls of dry food and stuffs them into his mouth. When he's sleepy, he doesn't matter whether he's in the mud or on the city wall, and falls asleep.  Perhaps because he was really tired, Oru slept soundly on the city wall, his snoring sounding like thunder.  Several personal guards around him also fell asleep upside down.  Everyone's face had a look of weathered fatigue, and their clothes and armor had an unpleasant sour smell.  Suddenly, several Jurchen knights hurriedly walked along the horse road in the city. Still dozens of steps away, Oru suddenly woke up, lifted up the cloak covering his body and stood up.  When the Jurchen knights saw Oru getting up, they quickened their pace and rushed to the front, turned over and knelt on the ground: "Oru! The besieged southern army is coming!" Wanyan Oru's pair of narrow eyes immediately shot out an astonishing cold light.  , stood up and said sternly: "What happened?" Those Jurchen knights also came in a hurry. They were Oru's subordinates, and the more than a thousand warriors who had not been recalled in time to fight into the Weishui River Valley  Centaur.  Originally, they crossed the mountain road abandoned by the Confederate Army and rushed to the vicinity of Hehe River, slashing and killing the defeated troops of Fan Yan, and snatching mountains of various materials abandoned by Fan Yan's army.  Rushing left and right.  Kill with great pleasure.  And Yan Yan's defeated army was ravaged by them or collapsed into the mountains to the south.  Or flee to the east, and from the east and north, Zong Han and Lou Shi's troops are pressing over, and it is a complete victory before your eyes!  Tens of thousands of Confederate troops were wiped out in one battle. Tens of thousands of stones of grain and fodder were discarded near Hehe River, tens of thousands of armors of various colors, and countless military equipment.  This kind of exciting fight with huge harvest has not been encountered in several years.  He was jealous of the killing.  Who can think of it when it's so exciting to grab it?  Suddenly, Yan Yan defeated tens of thousands of troops, and the entire army came back eastward to fight!  The first step is to clear the way with the elite cavalry, followed by the infantry group, and then the cavalry to suppress the formation.  Forced and clashed all the way, but if there was any obstacle, he would fight his way up, no matter what, he would open a road to the east!  These more than a thousand troops and horses were already scattered near Hehe.  At this time, there was a hasty interception.  But facing the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fighting desperately to seize the road, it can only serve as a little harassment at best.  The Confederate cavalry also risked their lives to drive them away.  The marching sequence of the cover brigade was not chaotic.  This weak army that collapsed overnight in Hehe County seemed to suddenly become an unstoppable iron army!  In the mountains to the east of Hehe River, there are military villages guarded by the Southern Army, which control several eastbound passages.  This army will rush through these roads and fight all the way to Yifang City!  With such changes, the Jurchen generals naturally sent out their troops one after another to report back to Wanyan Oru, who controlled the overall situation of Yifang.  Riding through the mountains, these legends could even see the lights of the night sky reflected between the east-facing mountain roads parallel to their homes.  This is the Confederate army passing through the mountains, killing towards the east!  Among these Jurchen warriors, there are also seven or eight thousand elite Jurchen warriors under Oru's command, and there are thousands of various auxiliary troops.  Even if the Southern Army breaks through the mountains, as long as Oru is prepared in advance, this exhausted army will just change the place of death from the Weishui River Valley to the foot of Yifang City.  ??But when he rushed past the Confederate army and rushed to Yifang, regardless of the life and death of his mount, he seemed to be flying.  It was shocking to find that the city of Yifang, where tens of thousands of troops were originally stationed, was empty, with only a few patrolling cavalry.  A large number of troops were transferred further east to block the offensive of the powerful army and horses of King Yan of the Southern Dynasty!  Could it be that Yan Yanjun was going to join King Yan¡¯s troops?  Once this happens, Oru's troops, caught in the middle, will not only be wiped out, but also suffer heavy casualties!  That damned King Yan of the Southern Dynasty happened to cause chaos again at this time!  After listening to the few knights who came first to report the military situation in a hurry, several Oru guards who were also alerted asked the Jurchen generals who came from the city, and their faces turned pale.  Yifang is now as empty as nothing, with only a few hundred Jurchen warriors riding on it.  If Yifang falls, the defenders in the mountains to the east will also be shaken. The troops of King Yan of the South will protrude out of the Lanshui River Valley and join forces with the remnants of the Yanyan army.  A good situation carefully arranged by Zong Han is about to turn over. Under the auspices of the Southern Dynasty King Yan who is tough and fierce and has a group of tiger and wolf warriors under his command, who knows what kind of changes will happen in the future!  Several generals immediately expressed their opinions to Oru.  "Olu! Quickly draw troops from the east and guard Yifang!" "Quickly contact Lou Shi and Zong Han and ask them to come over as soon as possible!"How could I miss this time? I couldn't even catch the defeated Southerners!  " "Pull out the ocher teeth, Brother Ying, and knock down some of their plotters. These plotters have just been filled in. They should be put to use without a big battle. I'll go and give the order!  " "There are still thousands of Nansheng people in the city. I will go and urge them to repair the city defense!"  Use the population and lives of these southerners to fill the gap, and the city defense must be strengthened as soon as possible!  " Oru's face was livid. Hearing the advice from his subordinates, he couldn't help but look eastward. Now in the mountains to the east, three to four thousand Jurchen infantry were deployed to serve as infantry to guard the last military stronghold, and there were more than two thousand  Riding on the road and setting up camp, he thought that most of the auxiliary troops and soldiers he had were filled in. With so many troops, maybe he could quickly mobilize some of them, even though the rain had finally stopped.  After several days of rain, the air was still extremely humid. The fog had risen in the early morning, and it had not dissipated yet. Looking to the east, there was only a vast expanse of white. At this time, there was a faint sound of drums and trumpets.  Came from the east, followed by the shouts of thousands of troops and horses, torn to pieces by the mountains, only echoing in the mist! Oru and several Jurchen generals on the city wall trembled.  , the Southern Army launched an offensive earlier than before. The Jurchen defenders were suffering terribly, but the Southern Army was suffering heavy casualties.  They are fierce, as if they are desperate to rush out of the Lanshui River Valley in the shortest time! How can the soldiers and horses from the east be mobilized? Amidst the shouts that echoed across the mountains from the east, several Jurchens  The generals looked anxiously at Oru. Who would have thought that one moment it was a good situation where tens of thousands of Confederate troops were about to be wiped out, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a dangerous situation in Yifang, and Oru was still in shape!  Standing upright, his eyes seemed to be bursting with fire. He glanced east and then west. As Zong Han's deputy, Oru knew that since he went south this time, he had encountered such a tough opponent.  It is difficult for the Western Route Army to break through and is restricted to a narrow area. In fact, the strategic situation is quite embarrassing, and the Southern Army from the west is pressing forward, and it will be attacked on both sides. If the stalemate continues, the Western Route Army will only become weaker and weaker.  In the end, he was either forced to fight to the north or fled back to Taiyuan Prefecture in Xijing. At that time, the Southern Army was chasing after him, and he didn't know how many elite Jurchen warriors would be left behind. Zong Han could only take risks and let Yan Yan go.  The army penetrated deeply, and then used Lou Shi's troops to conduct a far-reaching maneuver to annihilate the Yan Yan Army in the shortest possible time, changing its strategic situation in one fell swoop. Although this operation was successful, the Yan Yan Army's maneuver on such a vast battlefield collapsed.  Tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers and horses were also torn into pieces. With the level of communication in this era, it was inevitable that there would be loopholes in this large encirclement network. However, when Zong Han thought about it, his retreat was cut off, and he would only think about escaping westward.  Where can we seize the loophole in the east? And Zong Han also knew that the Yan Yan army coming from the west was not on good terms with Xiao Yan, and it was impossible for the two sides to cooperate with the troops and horses left in the east, even if there was any accident.  , it was enough. But the defeated Yan Yan army suddenly seized this loophole, collected the embers, and marched eastward decisively, and the difficult Yan King also launched a powerful offensive at Loushi.  The main force was left far to the north and west! Now that the two southern armies are advancing, what should we do?  Defend the mountain defense line or defend Yifang?  In the blink of an eye, Oru made a decision.  After all, Yan Yan's army was defeated. If they forced their way eastward, they would be extremely exhausted even if they reached the gates of Yifang City.  And the King of Yan is the most powerful enemy of life and death that the Jurchens have ever encountered since they started their army, but under no circumstances can they be allowed to easily break through the Lanshui River Valley!  Oru waved his hand fiercely: "Go and pass on the order. No matter how the fighting is on this side, all the troops in the east are not allowed to move a single soldier!" Several Jurchen generals changed their expressions and began to persuade them.  Oru said solemnly: "Do you want to disobey someone's order?" The coldness in his tone went straight to his bones.  Thinking of Oru's strict military management, these Jurchen soldiers swallowed all their words and just bowed their heads.  Oru raised his cloak again: "Leave a hundred cavalry to guard Yifang and watch these auxiliary troops have children with the Nanmanzi. The auxiliary army will just pay back. Kill all the remaining Nanmanzi who have children! To prevent them from doing anything strange.  , there are many people in the Southern Dynasty, you can capture as many as you want in the future." He fiercely nodded to a general: "He Pu, I leave this matter to you!" A Jurchen Muke named He Pu loudly accepted the order,  Turn around and leave.  Oru glanced at the other generals: "The rest of the people, follow me to fight! When Yan Yan's army rushes out, we will beat them in the field! Let them??Going further east is also extremely difficult.  And Zong Han and Lou Shi must be on their way here!  Someone is right here, refusing to fight from east to west, letting these southern troops know the capabilities of our Jurchen cavalry!  " Oru's tone was arrogant and his expression was firm. Several Jurchen generals were aroused by Oru's words and roared loudly in response. " Let the Southern Army know the ability of our Jurchen cavalry!  ¡± ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~ On the main road of the Lanshui River Valley, the Song Army and the Jurchen army and horses were fighting in a group. Above the head was the military camp where the Jurchen infantry was still defending. It could be seen that countless crossbows were throwing large iron guns, and more crossbow machines were also constantly firing.  After the launch, the sun shines down from the clouds, reflecting on the overwhelming clusters of crossbow arrows. Up and down the mountain, the sounds of fighting and shouting from both sides are mixed together among the mountains.  Loud echo! The Jurchens defended the village with infantry and the cavalry guarded the Lanshui River Valley Road. The defense lines along the Lanshui River Valley were attacked layer by layer. Behind them was Yifang City.  No matter what, we can't take another step back! A group of Jurchen troops withdrew from the front, and a whole group of more than 200 soldiers rode up. Now less than 80% of them have returned, and there are still dozens of them.  The men didn't even have their mounts, and they were all covered in blood, and they were staggering around holding the horses' tails. Some of the horses were still dragging corpses behind them, but it was the Jurchens who died in the battle.  , the recovered body was dragged through the mud, and it was no longer possible to tell what it looked like before it was born. A group of Jurchen soldiers and horses were waiting by the road. When they saw the enemy retreating, they got on their horses and prepared to fight.  Coming out of Mou Ke's banner, a Jurchen general greeted the retreating troops: "Zhe Ya, why did you retreat so quickly?  " The first Jurchen plotted to defeat him. It was the guy who, when advancing westward, was ordered by Oru to turn around and join the war against Xiao Yan's troops. He was from the Sagai tribe and had the courage to complain to Oru. " He has  Sitting on the horse weakly, with scars all over his armor and blood splattered on his face, he stared back and replied: "Brother Ying, go up and try it yourself!  No wonder Yin Shuke was defeated and died. He was laughing at him before, but now he collided with the southern army of King Bird Yan. It was really hard!  When he came up, he collided with our cavalry. After one collision, he lost twenty cavalry!  "Brother Ying also looked solemn and tightened the armor straps on his body. The Jurchen armored cavalry behind him also tidied up their clothes again, and tightened their weapons in their hands. "A large group of ragged clothes have been waiting nearby.  , the emaciated people of the Song Dynasty hurriedly brought over soup buckets and stacks of pancakes, as well as the fodder prepared for the war horses. The aroma of the food made these tortured people of the Song Dynasty unstoppable.  Swallowing, but not daring to move a finger. The hundreds of corpses piled up randomly in the mud on both sides showed what would happen if they dared to touch the Jurchen soldiers' rations!  Suddenly, several horses were seen coming from the west, arriving directly in front of Zheya and Yingge. Each of them carried the flag of the Meng'an guards who were responsible for commanding them, and they immediately issued an order: "Pass it to Oru."  The order came down, no matter what happened to the west, no step to the west was allowed!  And if the southern army is allowed to take a step westward, each one of them will be defeated and lead the army in front of Oru!  " After the order was passed, the knights turned around and left to yell at other generals. Only Zheya and Brother Ying were left looking at each other. Brother Ying was a rough guy who came from a small army and only knew how to fight. To this position  It was all because of the seventeen losses during the battle. Zhe Ya was confused and asked: "How can this be an order?"  We originally wanted to stick to this place.  " Zheya was born higher and knew more about the current military situation. He felt something was wrong as soon as he heard this order. No matter what happened to the west - that is to say, there were also southern troops coming to the west, and Oru used Yifang's thin  The Jurchen soldiers and horses are going to deal with it alone! Where is Zong Han? There are southern troops on both sides, and now Oru¡¯s troops are suddenly being attacked! Why does he dislike this?  He shook his head towards Brother Ying: "Just go up, Oru will fight for his life!  Once we get out of the big basket, if King Yan's men rush out, we will all die here!  "Brother Ying was startled, roared suddenly, greeted his subordinates, and rushed forward. Zhe Ya turned over and dismounted. Several Song people flinched and handed over the soup bucket. Zhe Ya kicked it over fiercely, and pulled out the knife.  , the sword flashed, and two Song people were killed immediately! "You Southern Barbarians, you Southern Dogs!  If you don't feel at ease, you'll die, so why fight?  This god damn King Yan!  Damn this Southern Dynasty!  ¡± ?The people all prostrated themselves in the mud and shivered, not daring to make a sound of mourning.  The more they cry and beg for their lives, the more miserable these Jurchen Tatars will kill!  In the mud, there was only one breath left, and the people of Song Dynasty just looked eastward with furtive eyes. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? King of Yan, please come here quickly, and we, the Han army and horses, please come here quickly.  Even if I die together with these Jurchen Tatars, I am always willing to do so!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ West  Facing the exit of the mountain road out of the Weishui River Valley, Wei Dagong was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.  The trap left by the Jurchen Tatars has been reinforced in a short period of time. Wei Dagong personally led a group of troops to guard the area, while the remaining nearly a hundred cavalry were all dispersed by Wei Dagong, opening a thin cavalry warning curtain.  The news of opening the road has already been spread back.  However, no follow-up troops have arrived yet.  The white mist surged all around, and as far as the eye could see, it was no more than a hundred steps away.  No one knows, at the next moment, whether it will be their own troops coming from the west, or the Jurchen cavalry coming from the east!  Wei Dagong stood on a big stone, feeling his heart clenching tightly, and the sweat on his body was pouring out layer after layer without stopping.  Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves seemed to come from the west. Wei Dagong's ears twitched, thinking that he had heard something wrong.  The next moment, the sound of horse hooves came over more clearly, as dense as rain!  It¡¯s my own horse that¡¯s arrived!  Wei Dagong suddenly jumped off the boulder, took the reins, got on his horse and galloped down.  As they came all the way to the west, they saw the fog in front of them being disturbed, and dozens of riders were already rushing out first.  The general at the front, wearing a helmet and armor and holding an iron mace, was Yang Keshi!  Yang Keshi personally led the army!  Wei Dagong shouted: "General Yang, fortunately you have lived up to your command!" Yang Keshi gave up most of the heavy look he had felt along the way.  Riding his horse to meet him, he punched Wei Dagong in the chest from the horseback, causing Wei Dagong's chest armor to make a loud sound.  "Well done, you thief! You deserve to be from our Western Army!" Behind Yang Keshi, the knights of the Song Army poured out from the brigade. Everyone looked happy and high-spirited, and everyone shouted, "Horse!"  The sound resounded throughout the mountain road!  King Yan really gave us a way out!  Wei Dagong wanted to say something eagerly, but was overtaken by Yang Keshi: "The eastward passage has been opened in several places. King Yan has really restrained the Yifang Jurchen Tatars! Now that Yifang is empty, we will go with you  The King of Yan came forward and captured Yifang!" Several generals following Yang Keshi cheered loudly: "Capture Yifang! Join forces with the King of Yan!" The response spread in a blink of an eye.  There was the same cheering in the mountain road.  "Capture Yifang! Join forces with the King of Yan!" Wei Dagong glanced at the army of Yanyan, which was rolling eastward along the mountain road. Although everyone was high in fighting spirit, both men and horses were extremely tired, and their armor was worn out.  Finished, not fully armed.  It was just holding on with one breath.  "Such a tired army is going to fight for Yifang and wait for King Yan to come to join forces?"  You must know that the Jurchen Tatars must have adjusted their deployment and are surrounding them from all directions!  This life-saving way of life may be closed in an instant!  Wei Dagong suddenly spoke: "General Yang, please give me one unit to fight for Feiyuan Castle first! Open the northbound passage for our army!" Yang Keshi was startled: "What northbound?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature  , the novel is better and updated faster!
