    South of Kelan River, on the side of the road between the mountains to the south, and next to the water, an earthen rampart is gradually taking shape.  Thousands of Song soldiers, who had taken off their armor, were shirtless and covered in mud, were working hard to dig trenches.  Shovels and hoes were flying around, digging out loose soil and constantly throwing it out. Amidst the dust and smoke, soldiers of the Song Dynasty loaded up the loose soil, shouted slogans, and transported it to the side of the earth fort.  The base is made taller and thicker.  In addition to digging and transporting soil, there were also soldiers from the Song Dynasty who worked in groups of four, carrying simple wooden tampers to compact the earth base layer by layer.  Each soldiers of the Song soldiers, after such a long trek, the conflict of death, seemed to be thin, and the boots and shoes under their feet were worn out.  His face was full of weathered and haggard color.  But these lean-looking soldiers are all working hard.  The chants were so loud that everyone's veins bulged from the exertion.  Although everyone was sweating profusely and their lips were chapped, no one was slacking off!  Kelan water is right in front of you, and the way to break the trap is right in front of you!  In addition to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who were rushing to build the defense fortifications facing the west, there were hundreds of people busy at the Linkelan River. They were cutting down wood and then weaving it into rafts.  Compared with those who are doing soil work, they are no less busy.  These soldiers of the Song Dynasty, after opening up the Feiyuanbao passage, quickly moved northward until they reached the Kelan River.  As soon as I got here, I didn't even have time to catch my breath before I got into the crazy preparations for crossing the river!  "And those who were covering them were hundreds of Song Army knights, sentries and cavalry, wandering outside.  The brigade was concentrated behind the earthen base.  Everyone dismounted and rested.  Everyone is wearing thick armor.  It was just roasting under the scorching sun until it was sizzling with oil.  But no one said anything.  Just sitting and resting solemnly.  Yang Keshi's cavalry troops fought all the way, were the vanguard, and charged ahead with determination and determination.  They fought against each other in the field with the Jurchen Tatars. Although the losses were heavy, they were thoroughly tempered.  Although he is just sitting and resting now, his clothes and armor are in tatters and he is also thin.  But Ang Zang's sharp energy has already broken out of the cocoon!  Suddenly, a small cheer erupted from the river bank, but a raft had already been nailed, and a group of shirtless sergeants wearing only calf-nose trousers pushed it into the water. The sergeants who knew how to swim got into the water one after another and climbed on it.  Get on the raft and hold the pole and start trying to push it.  A shirtless general with both feet in the water shouted orders.  Immediately, more than ten sergeants began to wear armor and carry soldiers. In addition to carrying self-defense sabers, they all carried rifle bows and crossbows.  Swarming aboard this raft, ready to pick the vanguard.  Cross the Kelan River to occupy a small foothold.  The sergeants who were working on the earthen ramparts and the cavalrymen who were resting and waiting couldn't help but look towards the river bank. When they saw the raft carrying the soldiers pushed away from the river bank, everyone cheered loudly!  At this moment, the sentry cavalry sent out to the west suddenly heard the sound of blowing horns. It was extremely urgent and attracted everyone's attention at once!  The generals who were working together in the trench turned over and shouted: "Enter the earthen fortress and wear armor!" A large group of soldiers covered in soil climbed up and filed in along the gap opened in the earthen fortress.  The officers and soldiers who were ramming the soil also dropped the improvised wooden rams and stood down. Everyone picked up the crossbows that were placed beside them and took out the arrows and arrows in their bags one by one.  It was inserted into the rammed earth which was still somewhat floating. In a blink of an eye, this earth barrier, which was only less than half a person's height, was like a row of long grass growing out!  And the cavalry who were assembled and on standby all stood up and made a neat roar of metal collision.  Then he got on his horse.  Taking the capital as a unit, they headed west along the gap left in the earthen ramparts, then crossed the narrow horse path left in the ditch, and headed westward like several long queues!  In the west, a few sentries have already retreated to the east. As these sentries walked eastward, they looked back and shot arrows from time to time.  Behind them, dozens of Jurchen light cavalry followed casually, wearing only half armor and no long soldiers. They had eye-catching flags on their backs. They all wielded their riding bows. They were chasing at a leisurely pace while firing arrows.  The arrows from both sides were flying back and forth in the air. Even though the distance was far away, neither of them could be said to be accurate.  These Jurchen Qingqi didn't seem to have the intention to pounce on them and fight a tough outpost battle.  But behind them, you can see several Jurchen Muke flags flying, and hundreds of Jurchen armored cavalry, like dark clouds surging in the sky, slowly approaching!  The Jurchen troops and horses coming from the west are coming one after another!  The situation does not stop there. On the other side of the Kelan River, more than a hundred Jurchen Tatars can be seen riding across the river.  The Jurchen Tatars also crossed a small number of troops and horses in the west, and it seemed that they wanted to control both sides of the Kelan River! ??When the sentry cavalry retreated, a loud swan sound rang out from the cavalry ranks that had crossed the ditch and formed their formation.  Hundreds of emaciated knights from the Great Song Dynasty let out a uniform shout and flattened their spears, their blades shining brightly in the scorching sun.  The first general came out of the queue, raised his hand and fell forward.  These hundreds of Great Song Jiaqiu marched in unison without hesitation and faced the slowly approaching Jurchen Tatar brigade!  Since the battle in the Weishui River Valley has begun, the Jurchen Tatars have been blocking the front and chasing after us, but we haven't broken out of the dead zone yet.  These Jurchen Tatars are just human beings!  If you cut it with a knife, it will bleed; if you stab it with a gun, it will be a transparent hole!  There is nothing to be afraid of in a head-to-head confrontation!  Push the Jurchen Tatars farther away, protect the infantry brothers and complete the defense line of this earth fortress!  Receiving the support of the large group of people who were covering the back, they rushed across the Niao Kelan River one after another!  Under the hood, all the thin faces looked silent and firm. Facing the Jurchen cavalry pressing over them, there was no sign of wavering at all!  Facing this array of Song Army armored cavalry, facing the low earth barrier covered with arrows and grass.  The leading Jurchen Muke was slightly hesitant.  Looking back to the left and right, there were faces of Jurchens who were extremely tired.  This leading Jurchen is trying to defeat him.  It was the majority of the Zhe family army that had been defeated in one fell swoop on the Kelan River.  Tete, a general under Lou's command who has made extraordinary achievements.  Since defeating the Zhe family army.  After forcing Zhe Keqiu to cross the river holding the horse's neck to escape.  Tete was personally summoned by Zong Han, who led the Western Army, at the Kelan River.  At that time, Zonghan rewarded the special cattle and wine, and promised to reward the population of 500 strong southerners, and then allocate 30 real Jurchen families to join him to conquer.  Zong Han continued to march westward and wanted to raise his flag at Hehejindu.  In addition, they divided their forces and marched south to flank the Yan Yan Army in the Weishui River Valley.  And Te Te received orders from Zong Han and placed several plotters under his command to patrol and protect the entire Kelan River.  After receiving the reward, my heart is filled with the desire to repay.  I patrolled back and forth along the Kelan River.  The river commander has a single army, and it is rare to be able to sleep for two or three hours on the river beach at the end of the day.  The troops of the Special Division rushed to Hehe Jindu in the rain, then turned around and pursued Zhe Keqiu, and then patrolled along the Kelan River.  Even the elite of Lou Shi's team were half-hardened.  I just hope that the main force of the army will clean up Yan Yanjun soon, and then everyone can have a solid rest for a few days.  At that time, I didn't want to think about anything, as long as I had a dry place, could take off my boots, and sleep for a whole day and a night without my armor.  It¡¯s better than anything else!  During the hard work of patrolling along the Kelan River, I never waited for the good news that the Yan Yan army was wiped out in the Weishui River Valley.  Coming on a flying horse.  What was conveyed was the urgent military information that the Song army was off the grid and heading east!  Zong Han has already gone west to Jindu, Hehe, and is preparing to command the battle across the river to sweep the Yanyan Road.  In addition to his own main force chasing after him, Lou Shi also sent his passing cavalry to search for nearby Jurchen troops and horses, and quickly returned to the east for reinforcements. He must completely wipe out the remnants of the Song army!  The special department patrolled the Kelan waterfront and received the news a little later than the Puchawulie department.  This was a military order personally handed down by a nobleman. Tete did not dare to neglect it at all, and immediately drove his troops to rush eastward along the Kelan River.  In Tete's view, this Song army was chasing the main force of Lou Shi, and Pucha Wulie's troops were rushing towards the key place of Feiyuan Castle. He was the vanguard to block the line of Kelanshui in the north of Feiyuan Castle.  He was barely able to complete his mission.  The defeated Song army was chased and intercepted by so many troops, and perhaps the entire army was annihilated before they even passed Feiyuan Castle.  These people and horses of ours can just take a breather by the Kelan River, which is just a matter of convenience.  Who would have thought that when he led his troops to the destination, what he found was the earth fort built by the Song army, and the Song cavalry advancing in formation. These cavalry were already displayed like a wall.  The sharp blade, guided by Xun Xun's flying flag, actually came towards the Jurchen cavalry!  Looking back to the left and right, I couldn¡¯t see much high fighting spirit on the faces of my subordinates.  The war horse also sneezed uneasily, taking two steps forward and two steps back.  Isn¡¯t this Song army defeated?  How did he escape Oru's head-on interception, Lou Shi's pursuit, and Pucha Wulie's interception?  Rushed all the way to Kelan water?  And why didn¡¯t Xi Yin¡¯s army appear to the east of them?  What the hell happened?  "So many elite soldiers and generals of the Jurchen clan have never stopped this Song army. With hundreds of tired troops like me, can we completely block them at the Kelan River?"  These thoughts that made people feel cowardly and wavering kept flashing through Te Te's chest, and in the end, Te Te forcibly suppressed them.  He suddenly pulled out his long sword and raised it in the air, and roared: "Crush these Southern Dogs! Fight immediately, these Southern Dogs are vulnerable! But as a Jurchen warrior, you can only?Forward, no retreat!  " Tete's fierce roar finally aroused the ferocity of the Jurchens under his command. Hundreds of armored cavalry shouted in unison, pulled out the queue, and also laid down their horses and soldiers. They kicked the horses' belly fiercely and neighed at the horses.  Amidst the sound, the cavalry threw up smoke and dust. Under the bright sun, they summoned up their last strength and launched an attack against the large group of Song Army knights approaching like a wall.  The team separated, and the Jurchen cavalry marching across the river whistled and sped up, heading straight for the raft to land on. A dozen soldiers from the Song Army looked back.  In the sound, his brothers pushed more rafts into the water, and then the soldiers quickly put on their armor, picked up their bows and swords, and without hesitation, they crowded into the rafts.  The raft was launched! The sergeant who acted as the boatman was naked from the waist up, his face was red, and his muscles were bulging. He pushed the heavy raft away from the south bank with one pole after another, and then drove the raft filled with soldiers towards ten.  On the other side more than ten feet away! We have rushed all the way here, and countless people have sacrificed their lives just so that we can rush out and come back to avenge this blood feud. No matter what kind of enemy we are, they can't stop us from crossing this damn Kelan River.  Footsteps! With a heavy sound, the first raft hit the north bank. Before it could stop, more than ten soldiers jumped into the water and rushed to the river bank with all their strength!  Within a few dozen steps, dozens of cavalry bows were opened, and a shower of arrows flew in front of them! The sound of arrows flying through the air was heard, and a few fell into the water, but more of them fell into the water.  The soldiers of the Song Army had weak bows, but their armors were not perfect when crossing on rafts. Most of them only had their chests covered, and their arms and legs were shot with blood.  These soldiers of the Song Army, who had been injured, still roared, stood in the water with their bows and crossbows, and fired back fiercely. And behind them, rafts were put into the water one after another, and each raft was filled with fire!  Crowded with soldiers of the Song Army, they fought bravely to cross. There were also some Song soldiers who were skilled in water. They were bare-chested and wore no armor. They just carried a crossbow machine and a bag of arrows slung across their shoulders. They jumped into the water and fought hard towards the river.  Row to the other side! On the Kelan water, there are all simple rafts packed with soldiers, full of floating heads, full of heroic spirit! The following rafts hit the north bank one after another.  The dozen or so soldiers of the Song Army on the shore were already covered with arrows. Many of them were kneeling in the water, lowering their heads, still holding the crossbows tightly in their hands. The small area of ????water was already dyed red.  . And more armored soldiers shouted and jumped into the water, rolled up the waves, and rushed forward at the risk of death! The more than a hundred Jurchen armored knights just tried their best to block the shooting. In a blink of an eye, many people were killed.  They had already shot a bag of feather arrows, but more and more Song troops were rushing to the river bank, and more and more Song troops were standing or kneeling on the river bank holding bows and shooting crossbows.  There was a sound, and a Jurchen Pu Liyan broke the riding bow in his hand. The broken string was slapped on the face, leaving a bloody mark.  The Jurchen Pu Liyan threw down his bow and drew his sword, and shouted wildly: "These southern dogs are crazy!" In the roar, this Pu Liyan had already urged his horse forward, facing a Song Army armor who was rushing in front.  scholar.  The soldier of the Song Army who rushed in front was covered in mud and water, with arrows stuck in his body, and he was staggering forward with a spear.  When he saw Pu Liyan rushing towards him with his horse, he thrust his spear straight at him.  Pu Liyan was skilled in equestrian skills. He turned around slightly to avoid the spear. He leaned down slightly and saw that the long sword was only around the shoulders and backs of the Song soldiers.  Sparks of metal collided in all directions, and with the speed of the horse, the sword immediately tore through the armor and opened a deep bloody gash on his back. You could even see his internal organs beating!  The soldier of the Song Army was shaken all over. He forced himself to half-turn around. With such heavy injuries, he stood leaning on his spear and looked back at the soldiers of the Song Army who were crowded on the rafts. He looked back at the thousands of robes on the other side and looked back at the people on the other side.  The brothers who fought with the Jurchen Tatar cavalry.  A lot of emotions came out of his mouth, and he murmured in a low voice: "Cross the rivercross the river" This soft murmur to himself seemed to be heard by everyone.  The shouts started to ring out first on the north bank of Kelan River. The soldiers of the Song Army who were rushing to step ashore were shouting loudly in the face of the Jurchen armored cavalry who were rushing to kill them.  "Cross the river!" The soldiers of Song Dynasty who were desperately tying up and sealing the raft on the south bank stood up and shouted to the brothers who were riding on the north bank and facing each other desperately.  "Cross the river!" On top of the earthen barrier, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty holding crossbows were also looking towards this place.  A military general took off his pocket and threw it to the ground, his eyes wide open and his eyes wide open.??Shout.  "Cross the river!" The soldiers of the Song Army, who were fiercely colliding with hundreds of Jurchen Tatar cavalry, fighting and never taking a step back, seemed to have heard this low voice.  A Song Army cavalryman was stabbed through by a Jurchen Tatar spear, but he held on to the spear shaft tightly, staring at the opponent with blood-red eyes, and his last cry was still just those two words.  "Cross the river!" The shouts rose from the clouds, echoing and roaring on both sides of the Kelan River.  Vibrating symphony in the deathmatch battlefield.  It's like layers of thunder rolling from south to north, causing this Kelan River to separate from the waves at this moment, making way for the thousands of people who are fighting to the north!  Amid such majestic shouts, smoke and dust were seen rising in the south.  Among the mountains, along the northbound road, the flags of the Song Army were waved out again, and large groups of cavalry were coming in an endless stream from the northbound direction!  Tete was at the center of the fighting group, trying his best to push a Song Army armored cavalry off his horse, and then another Song Army armored cavalry grabbed him, and Tie Guduo smashed his head.  Te Te hurriedly dodged, but did not let him go.  Tieguduo fell straight down after grazing his shoulder armor, causing Tetema to fall out of his hand, and he could no longer lift one of his arms.  Several Jurchen armored riders rushed up and tried their best to cover Te Te.  Tete's face was covered with blood and sweat, and he was breathing heavily.  Looking around blankly, all he could see were warriors from both sides colliding with each other and fighting with their teeth.  What struck my ears was the earth-shattering roar of these Confederate troops!  Outside the battle group, to the north of Kelan River, one can see groups of Southern troops crossing the river.  Using steps as horses, they pushed forward desperately regardless of the heavy casualties, pushing the Jurchen knights away from the river bank step by step!  And more Song Army archers also got off the raft and stood still, with the sound of the teeth of the crossbows firing, and short wooden feather arrows flying like rain.  And those Jurchen armored cavalry on the north bank kept falling off their horses as they retreated step by step!  Looking south again, I saw flags waving in the smoke, and groups of Song troops, either on foot or on horseback, were coming in a steady stream.  Like a torrent rushing north.  And the shouts of these Confederate soldiers were louder and louder, and finally they became one, just roaring in the ears!  Where is Oru?  Where is Lou Shi?  Where is Xiyin?  Where is Zong Han?  These thousands of people broke through the border from Kelan Prefecture, rushed across the border, swept south, and hit the bank of the Yellow River in one fell swoop. They broke up Jiahe's troops and Kelan's waterfront, and destroyed Yan Yan's army in the Weishui River Valley.  Where are the Jurchen warriors in the film?  Te Te pressed her shoulders with a pale face. There was only one feeling in the roar.  I¡¯m afraid nothing can stop this southern army from crossing the Kelan River and tearing through the torrent of the dragnet set by the Jurchen army!  (To be continued)
