    To the north of Kelan River, most of the infantry troops have finished fighting for the crossing.  The few remaining infantry troops had already retreated behind the innermost earth barrier, holding on to their crossbows and clinging to this last line of defense.  However, there were at least a thousand cavalry troops gathered at the ferry. They had not boarded the raft. They just held the reins and lined up silently, heading southward. Everyone from the generals to the soldiers seemed to be anxiously waiting for something.  On the other side, there were 2,400 to 500 infantry troops of the Song Army crossing the river, plus more than 1,000 cavalry troops, which greatly expanded the bridgehead.  Plus the people waiting on the other side.  The total is only five thousand Youqi, less than six thousand.  Nearly 50,000 troops came from across the river that day, with banners covering the sun and gongs and drums noisy.  Now there are only a few left who have fought bloody battles all the way to this point!  Kelan water sobbed and surged.  On both sides of the river, several thin and haggard Song troops in ragged armor lined up silently heading south.  The broken flag is only dancing in the wind.  Rows of rafts are just waiting quietly on the south bank.  These remnants of the army have been tempered into steel.  After resting and replenishing in the coming days, under Xiao Yan's command, the combat power will not be weaker than that of other armies!  The Jurchen troops and horses all slowed down their offensive at this moment, looking at the dilapidated but strong appearance of the Southern Army, looking at each other speechlessly.  At this moment, there are already two to three thousand Jurchen tribes chasing after them to the Kelan River.  More than a dozen Muke flags were just flying in the lineup.  ??The Jurchen army galloped back and forth, and the fighting was very difficult for the women.  At this moment, the military appearance is not good and nowhere to be seen.  A famous Jurchen warrior had short hair growing on his scalp and his face was covered in mud.  The horse has lost a lot of weight.  Several attacks on the Song army's earthen base also resulted in heavy casualties.  All the Jurchen warriors looked tired and tired.  It would be difficult to achieve the high morale that they had when they massively copied the retreat of Yan Yan's army to the west.  Fight across the river.  These Jurchen troops gathered together and attacked the ferry on the south bank.  They also tried their best to cross seven or eight hundred horses to the north bank within this time.  Now we are setting up formations on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, seizing the time to restore our energy and horsepower.  Everyone knows that the battle is about to take place when the Song army crosses the river and attempts to break through the final trap of the Jurchen army in one fell swoop.  Whether these Confederate troops escaped or were finally destroyed by the Kelan River will be revealed today!  But I don¡¯t know why, looking at the haggard and silent but stoic faces of the Southern Army and Jurchen troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.  There is only a premonition that they may not be able to stop them.  Where is Lou¡¯s room?  Where is Pucha Ulay?  Where is Oru?  Where is Xiyin?  These Jurchen generals seemed to have been restrained or escaped by these southern armies, and now none of them had arrived!  Such a combined attack by the generals made these southern troops rush to the edge of Kelan River. Can they stop it by themselves?  The Jurchen Mou Ketete, who was the first to arrive at the Kelan River to fight the Song people, stood in the formation on the north bank holding his mount, with a heavy look on his face.  Including his headquarters, there are a total of three Muke under his jurisdiction.  Now he is the only one of the three Muke, and the other two were injured by crossbows when attacking the earthen base.  Withdrew.  There are eleven Pu Liyans in total, and now there are only six left.  Others were killed or injured.  Now these generals no longer have the arrogance that destroyed the family army by the river.  Looking from a distance, the earthen ramparts on the opposite side look like a forest of archers. The Confederate troops on both sides of the river bank have a firm appearance.  Finally, Pu Liyan, whose face was still wrapped in a wound wrap, asked with a gloomy face: "Te Te, can you stop these Confederate troops?" Te Te looked solemn and sneered: "The Confederate army's mourning soldiers have lost their momentum.  Well, our army is separated on both sides of the bank. How can we stop them with these troops on the north bank?" Another Pu Liyan asked with some hope: "What if Lou Shioru Pucha Wulie and Xi Yin are coming?  "Coming?" Tete sneered again: "If Xiyin doesn't come now, he will never come again. This is a dog that usually eats big bones, but someone comes just to guard the tent.  The barking made him not even bother to take a step outside The southerner Yan Wang's troops in the east are also closely involved, so he can send a message to Zong Han" The more he talked about it, the more gloomy his face became:  "Loushi Orulu Pucha Wulie can fight, but how can this Confederate army not leave men and horses along the way to cut off the rear? We fought at this ferry, advanced and retreated repeatedly, and suffered many casualties, but we couldn't defeat it.  Come down. I'm afraid they won't be able to break the southern army's retreat for a while Seeing that the southern army is about to attack in a big way, how can we, the people on the north bank, block it? Lou Shi and the others came later and isolated themselves on the south bank.  What's going on?" Te Te finally sighed: "Get ready to fight! We won't be able to explain it to Zong Han if we really let this southern army go out!  If it continues, no one can tell what will happen in the end!" After hearing Tete's words, everyone's faces turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.  They all saluted Te Te in unison, then rode off and restrained themselves.? Department.  Even if there are only these men and horses on the north bank, even if this unexpectedly tenacious southern army is determined to charge northward, these Jurchen warriors must not be afraid to face it.  Either the Southern Army was destroyed on both sides of the Kelan River, or the Jurchen warriors like them were buried here!  Seven to eight hundred Jurchen war horses were arranged into a relatively loose cavalry battle array.  They were just confronting these silent and tenacious Confederate troops, and they had no intention of giving way to the passage!  Suddenly, the queues on both sides, which were far away from each other, began to become slightly commotion.  The Song troops on both sides of the Taiwan Strait unanimously cheered and shouted together!  There is no other reason, just because a team of more than 200 people and horses are coming at a fast pace.  The person who was the first to lead the way was Yang Keshi!  These more than two hundred horsemen, their uniforms full of blood, their red helmets and tassels dancing in the air.  Like a little ignited flame.  The cheers of the Song Army became louder and louder, until they swept across both sides of the bank, and the Kelan River was shaken by the shouts, rolling up waves!  "Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!" Countless knights of the Song Army raised their arms and cheered and shouted. In these shouts, you can't hear the fatigue and haggard after the battle. You can only hear the remnants of the army that have been refined into steel. They are no longer afraid.  There are so many enemies blocking you in front of you, but you just have the momentum to move forward!  Amid cheers and shouts like the waves crashing on the shore, more than 200 riders rode straight to the ferry.  The cavalry on the other side moved forward to the north to suppress the Jurchen army and horse formation, while the infantry retreated back. They all held crossbows and stood on both sides of the ferry, and they were about to use arrows and arrows to support the army and horses on the south bank to cross the river.  The sound of footsteps sounded neatly, no matter whether they were walking or riding, they were all in a fierce array, like two iron doors suddenly opening in the north and south directions!  With such a lineup, the array of Jurchen knights waiting on the north bank couldn't help but become even more commotion. The mounts under their crotches also felt the tense atmosphere, raising their hooves and neighing.  But the neighing sound was suppressed by the continuous cheers of the soldiers of Song Dynasty!  Yang Keshi dismounted first, and the Song Army knights on both sides separated into a passage. Their eyes just followed Yang Keshi's figure.  Yang Keshi didn't even care. Surrounded by several personal guards, he walked to the river and stood on a raft that had been moored on the shore for a long time.  The personal guards followed, and then the large cavalry followed the order that had been arranged.  They all piled onto the raft.  A famous knight just pulled the reins, comforted his mount, and waited for the crossing to the north.  On Yang Keshi¡¯s raft, the sergeant who acted as the boatman tensed his muscles, holding the long pole like a spear, and looked at Yang Keshi.  But Yang Keshi just raised his hand calmly: "Cross the river!" An order was given, nearly a hundred long poles were moved, nearly a hundred rafts, loaded with hundreds of armored cavalry and their mounts, shot towards the other side like arrows!  On the other hand, on the Jurchen side, although there were always more than ten rafts shuttled back and forth across the river to transport troops and horses.  But when the Song army was racing with hundreds of boats, it was nowhere comparable!  The cheers of the Song Army reached its highest point on both sides of the Kelan River at this moment!  Hundreds of helmets and tassels danced on the river, just like hundreds of flames burning on the Kelan water!  Amid the cheers, the Jurchen troops and horses on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and generals at all levels either leveled their spears or drew their long knives.  He yelled orders at the top of his lungs, like a beast roaring.  The Jurchen armored cavalry also responded angrily.  The Jurchen arrays on both sides of the Taiwan Strait moved slowly, and then sped up.  The sound of the horses' hooves roared like thunder, and the light of the sharp blades shone coldly against the sun.  Countless Jurchen warriors distorted their faces and clenched their weapons tightly on horseback.  At this moment, they launched an attack on the Song Army's array on both sides of the Taiwan Strait!  How many Jurchen warriors only have an inexplicable fear in their chests at this moment.  No matter what, we must extinguish the countless flames jumping on the Kelan water!  Kill all the defeated southerners and let their corpses fill the entire Kelan River.  If you miss this opportunity, this southern army may turn around at a certain moment, and together with the southerner King Yan from the east of Shandong, they will still sandwich the Jurchen West Route Army in the millstone until they are finally ground to pieces!  Tete was in the queue, and his roar was so loud that his mouth was filled with the smell of blood, and it actually shattered the capillaries near the trachea!  "Kill all these southern dogs!" The Jurchen language's cry is already familiar to the troops of Yan Yanjun and Yang Keshi.  The Song troops in formation smiled at each other, the infantry suddenly moved forward boldly, and the crossbows were raised up!  (To be continued) ps: There are relatively few posts today, sorry.
