Chapter 129 Zhao Ji's Death - Emperor in Zhenshui View! (Christmas Eve
It’s not that the flood is coming, because the flood does not speak Chinese. It won’t flow surgingly while shouting “The flood is coming”. People who can yell like this must be humans.
Moreover, it is very close to the Yellow River. If the water of the Yellow River really spreads out, it will rush down at a very fast speed. People can only run to a high place. It is impossible to run and shout in front of the flood.
So the shouting of "The flood is coming" was shouted by the officers and soldiers of the Song and Jin armies who were chasing!
Of course, the Song army ran away. They were thousands of Liu Yanqing's troops and some other miscellaneous troops who collapsed from the Wannian Xindi battlefield. At the beginning, there were still 20,000 to 30,000 people, but later they ran all the way and only a few thousand people were left when they ran to the Wuzhang River. The situation was quite bad!
In the battle this morning, Liu Yanqing was actually the fastest-running Taiwei, and he was very clever. When he saw something wrong, he took the lead in running away without saying a word.
But he was confused about his choice of running direction. He did not run east or west, but ran south. The south of Wannian New Dike was Kaifeng Prefecture! For the winning Jin soldiers, of course they had to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to try their luck. If the Song Dynasty officials were scared and collapsed, wouldn’t they be able to make another big blow?
Yes, what Wanyan Zongwang is thinking now is to make another quarrel, instead of killing Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, the official in Kaifeng Prefecture City.
That's right!
Wanyan Zongwang was not stupid. He knew that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were gone, and the one who ascended the throne was definitely Zhao Kai, the crazy king.
Zhao Kai is so fierce. He shoots Liu Yanzong with arrows, and he can also set up a horse with a gun!
Moreover, this guy is not only fierce, but also very clever... If he is not smart, he should stay in Kaifeng Prefecture City and wait for "flooded" instead of slipping to Taiyuan Prefecture.
If Zhao Kai had not been in Taiyuan Prefecture, Wanyan Zongwang would have been anxious and might have flooded Kaifeng Prefecture. But with Zhao Kai outside, Zongwang would have to keep Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.
In any case, the throne of the Song Dynasty cannot be handed over to Zhao Kai to inherit.
So Zhao Ji didn't have to leave the city at all, and Li Gang didn't have to worry that the Jin soldiers had really dug the Wannian New Dike... They were all deceived by Wanyan Zongwang!
After winning the battlefield of Wannian Xindi, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zhumu, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Chang each led an army, all of which were more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry, and pressed south together. Among them, Zongwang's troops happened to follow Liu Yanqing and chase him all the way!
The one who bit Liu Yanqing's troops and chased to the Wuzhang River was more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry personally led by Wanyan Zongwang.
Originally, Liu Yanqing's defeated soldiers and Wanyan Zongwang's pursuers were not coming to the Zhenshui Temple where Zhao Ji was, because it was raining before, and the visibility was very poor. Liu Yanqing's defeated soldiers and Wanyan Zongwang's pursuers could not see the lights around Zhenshui Temple. The two of them were several miles away from the Zhenshui Temple where Zhao Ji was.
So the shouts Zhao Ji heard were so hazy and vague.
The shouts of both sides were interrupted because Liu Yanqing's troops were forced to the Wuzhang River and had no choice but to start to line up with the water. Therefore, the Jin soldiers also suspended their pursuit and began to gather their formation and breathe.
But before the two sides completed the rectification, the rain suddenly stopped after a few hours, and a bright moon appeared in the sky.
As soon as the day got good, Liu Yanqing and Wanyan Zongwang's subordinates immediately saw the lights from the Song army camp around Zhenshuiguan.
Now Liu Yanqing did not fight with his back, and immediately led his subordinates to Zhenshuiguan. Wanyan Zongwang didn't know who was here in Zhenshuiguan? Seeing Liu Yanqing running there, he followed behind and chased after him. He also asked the people below to continue shouting "The water is coming" in Chinese, and to scare the Song army.
They chased and fled, and soon rushed to the camp of Zhao Ji's troops.
Zhao Ji, who was fleeing in person, actually led a mob that looked a bit like an elite. Except for the 2,000-winning army led by Zhang Shizheng, the commander of the Shengjie Army, which is a truly capable army, the remaining more than 10,000 people are very amateurs, at best, the royal guard of honor. Not only do they know how to fight hard battles, they can't even build a tough camp. Moreover, their marching ability is not good. After walking for a long time, they are so tired that their backs are sore and they can't do the work of the engineering team.
So when they set up camp around Zhenshuiguan, they did not dig trenches and set up fences, but just circled a large cart to make things happen.
Such a circle of chariots and a group of mobs could not stop the defeated soldiers of Liu Yanqing's troops coming like a tide and the Jin soldiers who kept driving them away.
Therefore, the defeated soldiers led by Liu Yanqing broke through the chariot formation without any obstacles and rushed to the vicinity of the mountain gate of Zhenshuiguan. The Jin soldiers of Wanyan Zongwang's troops who had been chasing dozens of miles behind them also followed them into the chariot formation of Zhao Ji's imperial camp!
Moreover, the "The flood is coming" by the Jin soldiers under Wanyan Zongwang's army in Chinese also made the Kaifeng soldiers, who were already afraid that Kaifeng Prefecture would be flooded by the Yellow River, suddenly fell into the greatest panic. Many Kaifeng soldiers with agility had already run away while the night was sunny.
Just as the Song army outside Zhenshui Temple was in panic, they suddenly saw the gate of Zhenshui Temple, which was originally confined, suddenly opened. Then the brigade was wearing torches and lanterns and infantry soldiers rushed out from inside.
As these seemingly energetic horse and infantry soldiers came out of the Taoist temple, countless voices shouted at the same time: "The leader, Emperor Daojun, is here, the soldiers of the Song army are struggling to kill the thief!"
Here is the leader, Emperor Daojun?
Liu Yanqing, who was protected by a group of Liu's personal soldiers, felt that he had auditory hallucinations!
Isn’t the leader, Emperor Daojun, an official family today?
How could he be here?
"Taiwei, we seem to have bumped into the team that the Guan family commanded in person!"
"The Grand Marshal... Xiao Di seems to have seen Tai Shi Tong. Could it be that the official family is really here? What should I do?"
"Taiwei, look over there... it seems that there is a general with a golden helmet and a golden armor, and he rides a big horse. Could it be the official family?"
Liu Yanqing was old and ran all the way. He was already in a state of energy and was so sleepy that he was so sleepy that he was almost dead. However, among the personal soldiers around him, there were some sharp eyes. Even in such a dark night, he still recognized Tong Guan from afar and saw Zhao Ji in golden helmet and armor!
"Hurry, hurry up, help me to protect the official family!" Liu Yanqing couldn't hold back, but his mind was still very clear.
Since Tong Guan is here, the official family must be there too! The official family is in the battle. Is he as crazy as Prince Yun?
It seems that Zhao Ji's wine has not yet woken up, otherwise he would not have the courage to come out of the Zhenshui Temple - or would it be said that drinking is a mistake? If Zhao Ji hadn't drunk a few more drinks, he would have been on the official boat to the south bank of Wuzhang River.
And now... Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Zhao Shu and others who came out of the Taoist temple were all looking up on the Wuzhang River. The official ship seemed to have left the dock!
What should I do?
Zhao Ji's wine was a little awake, and he also saw something was wrong. The outside of Zhenshui Temple was already in chaos, as if fighting everywhere, people screamed everywhere, and shouts of "The water is coming, the water is coming" everywhere.
The Jin soldiers and Song soldiers were already mixed up, and the Jin people may still be conducting organized killings, while the Song army... except for the victorious soldiers, Ban Zhi, and Liu Yanqing's personal soldiers who were guarding Zhao Ji, they had no organization and were just instinctive resistance.
However, the Song army soldiers who were close to Zhenshuiguan Mountain Gate still found that Zhao Ji had not escaped and was in the battle. This was really an unprecedented event!
The morale of the Song army soldiers suddenly rose, and they shouted like chicken blood: "Long live, long live, long live!"
There were even some brave enough Song troops who automatically launched a counterattack with long live shouting, and the Jin soldiers who fought in front of them were defeated step by step, which surprised Wanyan Zongwang.
What exactly happened? Why did those Song people suddenly "explode"?
