    North of Kelan River, a line of defense has been hastily established.  ¡Ü¡ÜDian¡ÜС¡Ü said that several criss-crossing earth barriers were built hundreds of steps offshore.  The soldiers of the Song Dynasty who kept crossing the river relied on the earthen fortress to hold on to the bridgehead.  One night, there were two to three thousand Song troops who crossed the Kelan River, mostly infantry.  Try to expand your control area on the north shore as much as possible.  And the Jurchen troops and horses coming along the river also arrived one after another.  The Jurchen army trying to cross the Kelan River numbered hundreds of people.  They whistled back and forth and tried their best to harass the Song Army, the bridgehead on the north bank.  They launched attacks from time to time, and when they were close to the range of the Song Army's crossbows, they suddenly made horseback turns.  Attract the Song army to fire arrows as much as possible.  The Yanyan Army Horse was originally one of the Western Army¡¯s field regiments.  It's just that it has become somewhat deserted in recent years.  Those who can break out are naturally the most elite and brave part of the Yan Yan army.  Then he experienced the war of outstanding Weishui River Valley, the war with Oru, the war for Feiyuan Castle, and the war of forcibly crossing the Kelan River.  Going all the way, even if you are not an experienced veteran, you have been sharpened during this period of time!  At the beginning, the infantry of the Song Army used flesh and blood, strong armor, long soldiers, and rain of arrows to resist the small-scale attacks continuously launched by the Jurchen cavalry.  Then they worked hard to build earthen barriers and moved forward step by step.  Finally, when the earth barrier gradually takes shape.  With the archers guarding the rear, the Jurchen cavalry would no longer be able to move easily due to a conflict.  Later, when the Jurchen cavalry used such constant feints to attack, the Song army's arrow clusters were exhausted.  The Song sergeant crouched and knelt firmly behind the earthen barrier. No matter how the Jurchen knights shouted and hollered, or how they put on the posture of a thunderous strike, they could not enter the shooting range.  Never do it lightly.  The Jurchen cavalry couldn't hold back their cavalry and pounced on them like a surge of rolling thunder.  And kept circling and retreating.  But it never attracted a single blow.  It went around like this for a while.  The Jurchen army horses were also exhausted, so they could only monitor from a distance and wait for the arrival of more troops.  Looking at the increasing number of Song soldiers and horses on the north bank of Kelan River anytime and anywhere, the Jurchens could only look at each other and shake their heads.  These Confederate troops are really difficult to deal with!  What a change!  And in the south of Kelan River, Song soldiers and horses came from the south in an endless stream.  The South Bank Ferry was bustling with noise.  After fighting all the way to break through the encirclement, the Song army was already exhausted and haggard.  Many people's boots were completely worn out.  It can only be wrapped with rag strips, and there are little blood stains on the cloth strips.  He marched forward with his armor on and his troops in hand, staggering as he walked on the road, as if he might fall down at any time.  But when you see the Kelan water in front of you, every Song army that arrives will give out a burst of cheers that sweep across the river!  At the ferry, the Song Army general who was in charge of crossing the river would immediately mobilize rafts to transport the people and horses that kept coming.  Then cross the river one by one.  Kelan water.  Rafts shuttled back and forth, carrying away these Han men who had been fighting for the rest of their lives.  Continuously transported across the river.  As the Song troops crossing the river continued to join the bridgehead, the stability of the north bank position increased by one point.  As long as the troops needed to be increased, the Song army would go into battle under the cover of bows and crossbows and expand the earthen base to the outside.  In front of them, the Jurchen Tatars were forced to retreat further.  These Jurchen troops who crossed to the north bank were eagerly waiting for the south bank, and they only hoped that there would be more reinforcements from the south bank.  But although the Jurchen troops and horses from the south bank also came in an endless stream, the speed of reinforcements to the north bank was much slower than that of the Song army.  The reason is not very complicated. The Song army crossed the river purely with infantry, while the Jurchens who came all the way to block the river bank were mostly cavalry.  Crossing the river requires both men and horses, which is actually much more troublesome than the Song army.  "The people of the Song Dynasty were very clever, and many of the children of Yan Yan grew up on the banks of the Yellow River.  Weaving rafts and preparing ferries were much faster than the Jurchen army.  At this time, there were already seventy or eighty sturdy rafts shuttled across the river to transport troops.  The Song army occupied the direction of the river, creating a busy scene. When so many rafts were advancing together, it looked like a scene of dragon boat racing!  "The Jurchen Army occupied a ferry where the river flow was slightly slower, and after playing with it for so long, they managed to build more than ten rafts.  A raft can only carry several people and horses at a time. How can this speed be so fast?  Although the Jurchen army gathered on the south bank of the Kelan River has reached two to three thousand, the organization has become increasingly chaotic.  I don¡¯t know how many Jurchen army officers and soldiers saw the Song army crossing the river with such momentum and such well-organized organization.  I couldn't help but have a bad premonition.  This Confederate Army is afraid that they will really be saved from death!  In front of Feiyuan Castle, there was another scene of blood and fire.  The Jurchen army came from the west and the south like waves.  Organized offensives again and again, attacking the Song Army's weakening defense line.  The Jurchen army coming from the west is still a bit messy in their offensive organization.  And Pucha Wulie, who personally went into battle and charged into battle yesterday, was also missing.  The Jurchen army's offensive in the west isFeeling much weaker. ?? Two consecutive days and nights of attacks, inside and outside the western fortress, in the trenches, and even in front of the military stronghold.  The number of casualties left by the Jurchen Army Company and Auxiliary Army to the west is really overwhelming.  Since Lou Shi's army is coming, let Lou Shi contribute to fight!  But the Loushi army coming from the south had a completely different scene.  Each plotter takes turns to fight, attacking fiercely and hitting hard, and the rhythm is also very well controlled.  When clearing obstacles such as the Luzhai and filling in the trenches, they were extremely patient and did not desperately pile up troops in order to break through quickly.  From dawn to noon, we were still wandering slowly in front of the deer villages and ditches.  Little by little, these obstacles to progress are removed.  It makes people feel that Lou Shi's army has lost its energy and lost its will to resolutely destroy this southern army after fighting all the way here. ????????????????? But the archers under Lou Shi were pressed very hard and put up side cards to protect themselves.  In order to prevent the Song army from excavating the fortress and dispersing the auxiliary troops.  Although the work of clearing obstacles did not proceed quickly, it never stopped.  After spending half a day like this, Luzhai was almost cleaned up.  Trenches were filled in to create pathways.  Suddenly, the style of Lou Shi's army changed.  Wearing heavy armor and holding long soldiers.  Just roll forward and press forward!  And the archers also moved forward closely with their rhythm, pressing close to them, using dense arrow rain at any time to suppress the Song army on the earthen base and protect these heavily armored men who rushed forward!  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Lou Shi's department also played with a clear rhythm.  It's not like a murderer comes forward and fights until the end of the road.  More than a dozen heavily armored men took turns taking turns to fight, and they took turns immediately after fighting.  These heavily armored men are like the tide.  Wave after wave of slaps forward, without giving the opponent any time to take a breath!  Making far-reaching interceptions, Lou Shi is as fast as lightning.  Fighting this kind of offensive and defensive battle in a strict manner also showed a very high level!  The Song Army¡¯s defense system was under heavy pressure during such a determined and efficient offensive.  But when the battle reached this point, the Guanxi disciples of Yan'erlang also lost their temper, and they just attacked and fought with Lou Shi's troops along the earth barrier.  The rear also kept sending people forward to fill the flesh and blood millstone.  For the rest of the day, there were shouts of fighting.  The sound of drums and horns announcing orders never stopped for a moment on the southern front.  The two sides struggled and got entangled.  They are all on fire, and their good lives are being consumed at an alarming rate as if they are worthless!  The Jurchen army in the west couldn't help being a little shocked when they saw the fighting in the south from a distance.  But I didn't expect that this southern army could hold out for a whole day in front of Lou Shi's troops!  Night finally fell again, and the battlefield that had been fighting for a day gradually fell silent.  Within the Song Army camp, the smell of blood was so thick that even the mountain wind could not dissipate it.  The soldiers of the Song Dynasty silently packed up the corpses in their own robes, piled them in one place, spread them with firewood, and sprinkled them with kerosene.  Relatively silent.  The next battle at Feiyuanbao was interrupted, and more than a thousand Song troops were lost, plus the large groups heading north one after another.  Currently, there are only more than a thousand troops left on the front line of Feiyuan Castle.  It turns out that the military stronghold seemed empty.  Although Feiyuan Fort was covered with flags, there were very few defenders.  For Yang Keshi¡¯s troops, this critical point of back-and-forth struggle and a lot of sacrifices has already completed its mission.  The final moment has come.  From Feiyuan Castle, a group of people came down, no more than a few dozen horses.  Xiao Yan and Yang Keshi were among them.  As commander-in-chief, they persisted until the end, but now it was time to leave.  Xiao Yan put on his ghost mask again and glanced around quietly, looking at the piles of loyal corpses of Song Army soldiers collected in silence.  Yang Keshi also looked extremely heavy.  There were clashes all the way from the Weishui River Valley, bloody battles all the way.  Teams of people left behind, and familiar faces disappeared and would never be seen again.  The difficulties and obstacles along the way and the heavy sacrifices are truly unspeakable!  The soldiers of the Song Army who were preparing to stay behind were silently standing up when they saw Yang Keshi and others finally coming down the mountain.  In the darkness, only vague figures could be seen, saluting their commander one after another.  Yang Keshi felt as if something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.  The waist couldn't help but stooped, and he held the reins tightly with both hands. If he hadn't escorted King Yan to charge out, Yang Keshi would have jumped off the horse, picked up a spear, and stood in the array.  Fight to the last moment with the Jurchen Tatars!  The voices of soldiers sounded in the darkness, low and firm.  "General, please leave quickly. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop the Jurchen Tatars for long." "The Jurchen Tatars are tough, but we are not soft either! We will gather the people from Guanxi in the future and kill them again."  I don¡¯t believe that I will come back.Even if one life is exchanged for another, all these dog Tatars will be wasted!  " "As long as the generals are leading the army, they are like General Yang!  Don't be like Liu Yanei and Zhe Goucai!  " "Commander, please leave quickly!"  Come back early to see us!  We are just waiting here!  " Yang Keshi burst into tears as he spoke. As an old man who killed Han people, his heart had been hardened during life and death. But since crossing the river to march east this time, he didn't know how many times he had been treated like this.  Deeply touched! Since a few years ago, the Western Army has become increasingly depressed, and the war against Yan has suffered heavy losses. Yang Keshi only thought that the Western Army would decline irreversibly like other armies of the Song Dynasty.  Go on. Under such a general situation, Yang Keshi just wanted to do his own thing, but he didn't expect that after experiencing such a fiasco, he realized that the passion of the Kansai man was far from being cold.  It¡¯s just covered with thick dust. When the hero emerges and leads them all the way to fight, the Kansai man will never hesitate to spread his passion on this land. He really wants to stay, he really wants to stay!  ! I really want to fight to the death with these Guanxi disciples! Xiao Yan rode up to Yang Keshi and said lightly: "Do you want to avenge these disciples?  " Yang Keshi clenched his fists and growled: "Why don't you want to?  !  " Xiao Yan pointed towards the north: "Then kill him!  Gather 100,000 banners, turn around and return, crush these Tatars in the east of the river!  Let them not return home!  " Yang Keshi suddenly raised his head and faced Xiao Yan. Under the ghost's face, Xiao Yan's eyes were as bright as lightning! Yang Keshi suddenly turned around and clasped his fists: "Brothers, I, Old Yang, take a step first!  Wait for me, wait for me to come back!  You must wait for me!  " The shouts echoed in the night sky. Xiao Yan and his entourage finally gradually moved away to the north and disappeared into the darkness. Their figures could no longer be seen clearly. Thousands of Song soldiers stood silently in the darkness. One of them had disheveled beard and hair and was covered in blood.  The general stepped forward and loudly ordered: "Raise the fire!  That's it for us, don't let the bodies of our brothers be ruined by the Tatars!  " Dozens of torches lit up and were thrown into the firewood. The fire suddenly rose up and incinerated the loyal remains of the Song Army soldiers. Such fire will also illuminate the front of the formation, allowing the brothers to  Seeing the figures of the Tatars rushing up, they rained more deadly arrows on them! The fire light illuminated the distance, and they saw groups of Jurchen soldiers moving forward slowly. As expected, Lou Shi refused to give up.  Ye launched another night attack, hoping to break through this area as soon as possible and make a final effort to completely annihilate this southern army!
