Chapter 616
The boiling water was filled with fire on both sides of the ground, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
On the east coast, Wanyan Wu Qimai was chasing Murong Zhi hard. The five hundred flintlock rifles seemed very beneficial, but in this night, thousands of gold troops scattered a cross section nearly two miles wide and rushed up with a scattered line. You can't shoot at least hundreds of flintlock rifles;
In order to cross the river to escape, the Jin army sacrificed their lives and rushed up regardless of casualties. Murong Zhi and his hundreds of men were forced to flee.
The fierce battle on the west coast was even more intense, with thunderous sounds, and thousands of cavalry of Yang Yi fought repeatedly in the Jin army camp.
When Wanyan Aguda saw Yang Yi personally leading the army to attack the camp, he also personally took the battle, hoping to kill Yang Yi in one fell swoop.
Yang Yi led his army to the camp. With Wanyan Aguda defending layer by layer, he knew that it would be difficult to achieve an overwhelming victory with his 4,000 troops. He just wanted to delay the speed of the Jin army crossing the river. Now that his goal has been achieved, he certainly would not fight Wanyan Aguda to death.
Wanyan Aguda led tens of thousands of cavalry to rush forward. Yang Yi did not rush forward, but turned around and rushed into the chaotic Jin army infantry formation, striving to defeat these thousands of infantry as much as possible and eliminate as much of the Jin army's vitality as possible.
At this time, Wanyan Sa corrected and directed the tens of thousands of Jin troops who had not participated in the battle to step up the crossing of the river. He shouted so anxiously that his throat was hoarse.
But the more anxious the more, the more chaotic it becomes. The more chaotic it becomes, the slower the speed becomes. People roared and horses neighed on the pontoon bridge, and chaos arose. From time to time, war horses were frightened and broke into the river, causing waves.
"Look, look, what is that?" someone suddenly screamed in horror on the pontoon bridge.
Everyone looked upstream. There were more than a dozen small boats coming upstream, with raging fires on the boats. The flames were ten feet high, and the thick smoke drifted in the wind also emitted the smell of tinder oil.
The river was quite turbulent, and the fire boats came with the waves and were at a fast speed.
If these fireboats hit the pontoon bridge, they will surely ignite the pontoon bridge immediately, and that's all;
Once the floating bridge is broken, the Jin army will be divided into two groups, with 10,000 on the east bank and 20,000 on the west bank. The two are in a crisis of fighting each other and unable to support each other.
Seeing this, Wanyan Sagai's souls burst out and shouted hysterically: "Hurry, hurry up, find a wooden pole to spread the fire boat, don't let it lean on the pontoon bridge. Hurry!"
The Jin army on the floating bridge was in chaos, and the fireboats were approaching. The war horses on the bridge were frightened and neighed and rushed around, knocking many Jin soldiers into the water;
The people on the bridge wanted to retreat, but the people on the shore found wooden poles and rushed up the bridge. They were crowded in a mess.
Wanyan Sa, who was angry and attacked the heart, changed his mind and ordered all the obstacles on the bridge to push the river to the river at once;
Even so, due to the rapid flow of water, the fireboat coming along was very fast, so it still led to the first floating bridge;
The ship was filled with flammable items such as dry firewood and was also poured with tinder oil, causing the fire to soar to the sky. It spread rapidly to the bridge deck, and the heat waves of flames swept with the wind were so helpless.
Just as everyone's attention was attracted by the fire boats upstream, seven or eight water ghosts swam quickly from the downstream to the second and third pontoon bridges.
They tried to swim along the two sides of the straits, and dive underwater after getting closer to avoid being discovered by the Jin army in advance.
After swimming under the pontoon bridge, the water ghosts drew out sharp daggers and cut off the ropes that tied the pontoon bridge.
The Jin army built a floating bridge without iron nails, and all of them were tied with thick ropes;
Seven or eight water ghosts worked together and quickly cut the ropes at both ends of the floating bridge. While shaking, the Jin army on the bridge figured out what was going on. The two floating bridges lost their fixed focus and were quickly overturned by the water flow. The sound made the souls of the dead pop up.
The Jin army on the bridge screamed and fell into the rolling river. They didn't know the water nature and then disappeared on the river.
Two floating bridges were pushed downstream by the river, leaving only the bridge heads on both sides as if they had been cut off, reaching into the water and swaying.
The first pontoon bridge was ignited by the fire, the second and third pontoon bridges were gone, and the Jin army on both sides was completely divided;
Wanyan Sagai's heart was cold when he looked at this scene, and he wanted to cry without tears. Not only him, but the Jin army on both sides of the Taiwan Strait was upset and frightened when he saw this.
There are about 10,000 Jin troops crossing the east bank now, but most of their war horses remain on the west bank and have not had time to cross the river. From this moment on, they have become infantry, but they have become incomplete;
Because light cavalry does not have heavy armor like infantry, they win by speed and their protective power is far inferior to real infantry;
The sabers used by cavalry may not be easy to use in infantry battles, especially if they encounter cavalry, they can only wait for death.
When a real infantry fights cavalry, they need heavy armor, caravans, heavy shields and other weapons, which are not available to the Jin army, which has changed from cavalry to infantry.
There are still nearly 20,000 people on the west bank who have not had time to cross the river. The old, weak, women and children of the Jurchen tribe are still on the west bank. The bridge is gone and the only escape door is closed.
At this time, Yang Yi happened to break the thousands of infantry. After learning that the three floating bridges had been cut off, Yang Yi made a quick decision and led his army to quickly rush out of the Jin army camp and wandered outside the camp...
Seeing that his way out was gone, Wanyan Aguda soon led his army out of the camp, preparing to fight to the death with Yang Yi.
The thousands of people from Wanyan Wu Qipeng chased Murong Zhi and the others for two or three miles, but they didn't dare to chase them anymore. The night was vast and they chased them far away, and no one knew what would happen.
Since these hundreds of Song troops appeared, will Liu Wu's seven thousand cavalry be far away?
Wanyan Wu Qimai made people sound the horn of withdrawal, and thousands of gold troops retreated one after another when they heard the sound.
At this time, they didn't know that the pontoon bridge had been broken. When they retreated to the riverside, they realized that the bridge was gone and the east and west banks were isolated.
Wanyan Wu Qimai was also in despair. Because it took a long time for war horses to cross the river, they all turned into infantry to cross the river and set up defenses first.
Now there are more than 10,000 people on the east coast, and there are only about 400 war horses. They are a horse-backed nation. If the lack of war horses is equivalent to breaking their legs. Is there still a way out?
Just as Wanyan Wu Qimai was full of despair, a faint thunder came from the east;
Then the earth began to tremble;
Then I saw a sea of fire appearing in the distance;
The fire was so vast and so bright that it made Wanyan Wu Qimai's eyes sting.
The sea of fire swept across with the rolling wind and thunder, scaring the Jin army on the east coast to the face of no one;
Wanyan Wu Qimai was still making the final efforts and shouted wildly: "Hurry! Hurry up! Hurry up the horse-rejecting stake, quickly set up the arrow formation..."
Under Wanyan Wu Qimai's roar, the Jin army, who woke up, hurriedly arranged the horse-rejecting stake that they had just lifted off.
The sea of fire had swept over, and hundreds of cavalry in front of them escaped from the formation and flew past the Jin army in the rain of arrows.
Although many war horses fell to the ground by arrows, they brought terrible nightmare to the Jin army.
The rushing war horses flew out one by one and fell into the Jin army formation. The sound of the rumbling explosion was like the roar of a demon, which changed the color of the heaven and the earth;
A ball of fire rushes up, transforming into dazzling magic light in the night, making people's eyes hurt;
The violent airflow swept down a large area of the Jin army, and the horse-repelling piles in front of the formation were blown up like paper.
Immediately afterwards, amid Liu Wu's roar, seven thousand iron cavalry rushed towards the panicked Jin army!
