Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Yue Fei rescued Zongze and protected the remaining Song troops as they retreated south. Wu Shu did not dare to pursue them and ordered people to go to the hills to check on the military situation.

When Tan Ma came to the hill, he saw branches everywhere and the smoke gradually dispersed. Where was the human being?Upon seeing this, Tan Ma quickly reported back to Wu Shu.Only then did Wu Shu realize that he had fallen into Yue Fei's trick, and quickly ordered the Jin army to pursue him.

Zongze and others came to the bank of the Yellow River and ordered the army to cross the river. Unfortunately, the bridge was narrow and could not accommodate the army. Looking back, they saw the smoke and dust rising again from behind. They knew that Wu Shu led his troops to pursue him. When he was anxious, the reeds on the bank A dozen small boats emerged from the boat, and the leader was Shi Quan.

It turned out that Yue Fei had already expected Zongze's defeat, so after arriving at Daming Mansion, he searched for ships everywhere. In a few days, he found more than a dozen small boats and waited here.

Yue Fei ordered his cavalry to cross the bridge quickly, while his infantry took boats to cross the river. When he saw Wu Shu, he was about to catch up. He heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the army was only halfway across the river. He quickly urged everyone to cross the river, while he summoned hundreds of his men. The remaining men prepared to move forward to meet the enemy.

Just when Yue Fei was about to set off, Wang Xiaozhong saw him and grabbed him, saying: "Pengju, it's a pity that we didn't listen to your advice that day, which led to today's disaster. Now the enemy's army is so powerful that we can't even cross the Yellow River." If you want to escape again, you have taken the lead in several battles before. Now that the battle is fierce and dangerous, we are exhausted from fighting, and our martial arts skills are far inferior to those of your brothers. It is up to you to escort the general to retreat and block the Jin army. Give it to me, brother!"

Yue Fei quickly declined and said: "My horse is very fast. Even among the Jin army, I can fight back and forth. If I want to run away, I am afraid that the Jin army will not be able to do anything to me. General Wang is exhausted now, so you should escort my mentor to retreat." Let’s go to Daming Mansion.”

Wang Xiaozhong shook his head and said: "If it weren't for you, brother, I would have given up my life in Caozhou City long ago. How could I have done what I did today? You are young, brave, and resourceful. You must not make any mistakes. I have no wife and children, so It doesn't matter if you sacrifice your life here. These brothers under your command are also loyal people. There is no need to die. Since you have taken them, you must treat them well. I have made up my mind, don't say more, and quickly protect the commander from leaving. Go!" After saying that, he led hundreds of soldiers under his command and rushed to the rear of the team.

Yue Fei saw that Jin Bing was in a hurry and knew that Wang Xiaozhong was already determined to die. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be of no avail, so he could only turn around and leave with tears in his eyes.

Yue Fei came to the shore and saw that Zongze was still unwilling to cross the river. He quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. My teacher, please cross the river quickly before we argue."

Zongze smiled bitterly and said: "My brothers and I have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time. When have we ever suffered such a defeat? If you hadn't fought to save us from this defeat, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have a chance to cross the river. After all, The reason all lies with me. I really did what you said that day. One general has no plan and a thousand troops are exhausted. In this situation, what face do I have to cross the river to survive? What face do I have to face the men who are buried here? Son-in-law? By coming here to help me, you have repaid the relationship between my teacher and my students. Please take everyone away quickly, I am here to cut off the rear for all the troops."

Yue Fei frowned and said: "How can my mentor be so stubborn now? Look at all the people under his command. Who doesn't hope that you can escape and die? My mentor is rigorous in running the army and is a talented person of the country. If he commits suicide due to a momentary defeat, , wouldn’t it chill the hearts of all the officers and men? If you stay here and we all have received so much kindness from our mentor, how can we abandon you? Forget it, let us die together with our mentor!"

Chen Cui, Quan Bangyan and others on the side also came up to persuade him. Zongze looked at his soldiers. Although they were defeated, their faces showed no signs of decline and their eyes were still firm. Even the people who crossed the river never stayed away and spontaneously moved forward. Formed a formation on the other side, preparing to meet the Jin soldiers.

This situation made Zongze feel shocked and a little relieved. If it were other Song soldiers, they would have fled by now. How could they have such a military appearance?His own death is not a big deal, but it would be unwise to implicate such loyal and brave soldiers.Thinking of this, Zongze sighed, drew his horse and headed towards the bridge, followed by the soldiers, who retreated to the south bank.

Seeing that Zongze had led his army across the river, Wang Xiaozhong finally relaxed. Looking at the Jin Army cavalry that was about to arrive in front of him, he showed a tragic smile, and then shouted: "You guys are afraid of death." ?" The sergeants under his command shouted in unison: "I am willing to die with the general!"

Wang Xiaozhong laughed loudly and said: "Well said, you are worthy of being my subordinate, and you are worthy of the many years of bloody battlefields. On the other side are the Marshal and our Paoze brothers. Now the Jin people want to cross the river to pursue and slaughter their brothers and sisters. I Is it possible to make it happen?" The sergeants under his command shouted again: "No!"

Wang Xiaozhong said again: "Very good! If you lead me back to the bridge and stand firm, if Wang is here, no golden man will be allowed to cross the bridge!" After that, he led everyone back to the bridge, formed a battle formation, and The originally narrow bridge deck was tightly packed.

At this time, Wu Shu had led his troops to catch up. He saw that the Song Army's troops had crossed the Yellow River, leaving only a few hundred people standing at the bridge. When he saw the Jin Army's cavalry coming, he shot random arrows at the bridge, killing the front team. Dozens of men and horses were shot over.

Wu Shu saw that the bridge was narrow and it was difficult for the cavalry to do anything on the bridge, so he ordered his men to abandon their horses and fight on foot.Following his order, the Jin army waved their weapons and roared towards the bridge.

At this time, it must be said that Zongze's men were indeed elite. Even when the Jin soldiers were so powerful, they still showed no fear. They guarded the bridge and started hand-to-hand combat with the Jin soldiers.

Wang Xiaozhong and others occupied the advantageous location and stood firm, making it difficult for the Jin soldiers to break through for a while. However, Zongze had already crossed the Yellow River, packed up his troops, and was preparing to retreat.Before leaving, Zongze looked back at Wang Xiaozhong and others who were fighting with the Jin army at the bridge on the other side. He couldn't help but burst into tears and bowed deeply to him on his horse. The other soldiers also expressed their gratitude for the loyalty of his brothers and shed tears one after another. Zongze bowed deeply.Seeing that the troops were in full order, Zongze gave an order and led the army to withdraw to Daming Mansion.

At this time, the fighting on the bridge had entered a fierce stage. Wang Xiaozhong led a group of warriors to fight and retreat, but did not allow the Jin soldiers to cross the river.Wu Shu became angry when he saw it on the other side. He jumped off his horse, separated everyone with a single arrow step, rushed in front of Song Bing, and with a swing of his sword, killed several of them.

Wang Xiaozhong saw that the Jin Army Lord was about to attack, and ordinary soldiers were afraid that it would be difficult to resist, so he jumped over several soldiers in front and stabbed Wu Shu with his spear.

Wu Shu saw this man's bravery at the end of the bridge and his willingness to risk his life to cut off the army's rear. He admired him in his heart, so he shouted: "Well done!" Then he moved his sword away and stopped the spear.

Wang Xiaozhong had suffered several injuries in previous battles and was already exhausted. Moreover, his martial arts skills were not as good as those of Wu. After only fighting for more than ten rounds, his arms became weak and he could not save his strength.

Seeing that his strength was timid, Wu Shu feinted with his sword, jumped back, and said, "General, please stop and listen to me."

Wang Xiaozhong was determined to pursue, but was unable to do so, so he leaned his spear on the bridge, took a rest, and asked, "What can I say?"

Wu Shu said: "Now that the army has retreated, the general is alone and unable to support him. If he still fights to the death here, wouldn't it be a waste of everyone's life? If a certain family loves the general's loyalty, it is better to abandon his weapons and surrender. A certain family will protect everyone from death, and the general can also protect his glory. Rich. How about it?"

After hearing this, Wang Xiaozhong laughed dumbly and said: "Wang has been in the army for many years, and his subordinates have beheaded many enemy soldiers. There are always dangers, but I don't know how to write the word traitor." After speaking, he turned around and said to everyone: "This gold thief wants to We are surrendering, are you willing to betray your righteousness and live?" The soldiers in the rear showed grief and anger, and shouted in unison: "If a man dies, he will die, how can he live in an ignoble way?"

Wang Xiaozhong turned to Wu Shu and said: "You have only gained power temporarily. We have many loyal and righteous people in the Song Dynasty. What do you have to fear if Wang dies today? You have harmed the people and committed cruelty, and you will definitely be repaid in the future!" After finishing brandishing his spear, he charged forward again.

Wu Shu saw that he refused to surrender, so he stopped talking and fought with him with his sword. After a few moves, Wang Xiaozhong's spear was cut off by Wu Shu's broad sword. He struck again with another sword, blocking Wang Xiaozhong's waist and swung Wang Xiaozhong into two pieces. Then he swung his broad sword, A group of Jin soldiers swarmed up again and collided with the Song soldiers.

An hour later, Wu Shu raised his sword and cut down the last Song soldier. At this time, there was no one blocking the front, but Zongze's army had already gone far. If he pursued again and entered the hinterland of the Song army, he might lose. .So Wu Shu looked at the bridge deck stained red with blood under his feet, shook his head helplessly and led his troops back to camp, leaving only the corpses all over the bridge as if to tell the story of the heroism of this battle.
