Volume 3, Chapter 198: Banquet at Hongmen (Thirty-eight): On both sides of the Kelan River, the sound of fighting was deafening and earth-shattering. On the north bank, large groups of armored cavalry collided fiercely, fighting fiercely. The smoke and dust were rolled up and lingered on it for a long time. More and more Song Army knights jumped into the water and pulled the horses ashore. And the long neighing sound of the war horses, mixed with the sounds of fierce fighting, was like piercing the clouds and splitting the sun! The water splashed, and more and more knights got on their horses. Just like Yang Keshi, he didn't say much, just held the weapon firmly and charged forward. These Song Army knights are like streams of water, flowing into the chaotic whirlpool, causing more killings and more men rushing to the death! Just find a way out! For the tens of thousands of Guanxi disciples whose bones are buried in the Weishui River Valley, and for those who resolutely fought to the last moment along the way. Fight a way out and bring their heroic souls home! Even if you throw yourself into this whirlpool of killing, your life will be consumed quickly. It's nothing more than gathering together with the souls of thousands of brothers swirling and rolling on the Kelan water. What is this worth? "My family is not like the children of a high-ranking family, the generals of feudal towns whose family reputation has been passed down for hundreds of years generally abandon the army and run away. He did not soften his knees in front of foreign enemies. No foreign enemies came to attack them. Gathered among thousands of heroic souls, one can still laugh out loud. I wonder if there is wine in the underworld. Can I still get drunk with my brothers? ????????????????????????????????????????? Out of nowhere, if there was no wine in the underworld, there would be so many brothers with broken armor and blood dripping from them, but they always hold their heads high. The rioters in the halls passed by, and finally they grabbed Yama by the collar, shook his fist as big as a vinegar bowl, and told him that even if he went to heaven to steal, he would make his brothers drink to their heart's content! The north bank is fighting to the death, while the south bank is resisting to the death. The Jurchen army and horses on the south bank rolled with greater momentum and their impact was extremely determined. Along the way, Jurchen knights continued to be killed, but the speed of the attacking horses was getting faster and faster! The Luzhai in front of the earthen fortress on the south bank has been completely wiped out in successive attacks. The trenches in front of the earthen fortress were also filled with roads that were large enough for war horses to pass. Even if the war horse loses its footing and steps on the corpses piled up in the trench, it can easily jump out. Amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves, the Jurchen cavalry finally stepped onto the earth barrier, shouting and surging, just chasing and killing the Song soldiers who had formed a crossbow formation behind the earth barrier and resisted to the end! There are three earth fortresses on the south bank heading west. When the Jurchen cavalry were about to pounce, the soldiers of the Song Army moved to the next line without any panic. In an instant, an arrow formation was formed, and another row of arrows was fired at the Jurchen knights who surged up the first earth barrier. The horses neighed and the knights screamed. The first batch of Jurchen knights who rushed up to the earth barrier fell off their horses one after another like broken sacks, and then rolled straight down the half-person-high earth barrier. But there are more Jurchen knights appearing one after another. One after another, Liaodong's majestic war horses, with their manes flying and their hooves soaring in the air, crossed the first earth barrier and headed towards the second, which was very close, without stopping! Wave after wave of Jurchen knights are like waves of black tide, seeming to sweep away and destroy everything in front of them! Not long after, the Jurchen Tatars rushed towards the second earth barrier. At this time, not all the Song Army soldiers who were defending moved to the last earth fortress. Some of the soldiers were left behind. They dropped their bows and crossbows, took up spears, and formed a thin but strong spear array with only one spear to face the Jurchen knights who were about to leap onto the earthen barrier. They are using their own lives to cover the retreat of their brothers, relying on the last earth barrier to make a desperate resistance! And just as their cover bought them time, rafts on the river were already going back and forth, transporting another wave of cavalry up. The cavalry remaining on the south bank only numbered three to four hundred. Xiao Yan is among them. (To be continued) PS: Still confused, still short of words, still sorry. Hope to return to form soon.
