It turns out that the generals of the Zhe family were in Fuzhou, with Xixia on the left and Liao on the right. For more than a hundred years, the generals of the past dynasties sent countless scouts and spies deep into the border between the two countries to explore the geography and hydrology. Therefore, the terrain of hundreds of miles in radius , everything is clear to the mind.
According to the original thoughts of the generals of the Zhe family, one day, when the Great Song Dynasty rises and annexes the whole world, this information will be of great use. It is a pity that Zhe Keqiu's generation actually used the efforts of their ancestors to become a traitor to their own country.
Zhe Keqiu said to Agu: "There is a big river here, called Hun River. It was called Zhongling Water in ancient times. It is a tributary of the Yellow River. Its upper reaches originate in the northwest of Shuozhou. It is called Cangtou River. It flows from south to north and passes through Leaving the city at Shahukou Pass, it turns westward and merges into the Yellow River."
While talking, he took out the map passed down from generation to generation by the Zhe family and directed Aguda to look at it.
"The Shahukou Pass is faced with high mountains on the left and right. The pass is located in a low-lying area of the two mountains. If you want to attack, the mountain road is narrow and difficult. However, if you block the Hun River and store water for irrigation, then this narrow road will be able to collect water and rush through the pass." It can break through in one go!”
A Gu was very excited after asking about it. He looked at the map carefully, and then went to the field to research the mountain-shaped river course. He felt that it was indeed feasible. He was overjoyed and took Zhe Keqiu's hand. He said with gentle approval: "I have heard for a long time that you will destroy the family general." Famous, I just found out today that if I have real talent and learning, it is ridiculous that Zhao and Song could not reuse it, so that the great talents are guarding a corner of the border. When I conquer the world, with such great talents as the Qing family, if I don't found a country and become a king, how will I be rewarded? ?”
After hearing this, Zhe Keqiu felt hot in his heart and wished he could die in service to the Jin Emperor. He quickly knelt down and thanked you with tears: "When I meet Your Majesty, it's like seeing the blue sky through clouds and mist."
A Gu laughed after hearing this, and immediately issued an order to summon a hundred thousand people, all led by Zhe Keqiu, to block the river and build a dam within ten days.
Zhe Keqiu wanted to repay the kindness of Emperor Jin, so he took his son Zhe Yanwen with him. The father and son worked day and night to supervise the start of the construction. In three days, more than 5,000 civilians were whipped to death, including those who died of exhaustion and drowning. Its number.
In just eight days, a huge embankment was built, blocking the river water and collecting it like a lake, hanging high above the river.
When Aguda heard about it, he praised Zhe Ke for being able to do things efficiently.
On the ninth day, it rained heavily. Aguda thought it was God's help, so he dug a dike in advance without waiting for the scheduled time. The water turned over like the Tianhe River and poured into the old path of Cangshui River. It was a huge flood, with the forward wave rising five or six feet high, rushing towards the tiger's mouth with invincible momentum.
Guan Sheng and other generals heard the roar of the mountains and the tsunami. They climbed up the city wall to watch. They were so shocked that their souls left their bodies. Everyone shouted in unison: "Run!"
Fortunately, there are high mountains on the east and west sides of Shahukou. To the east is Tangzi Mountain and to the west is called Dabao Mountain. The winding Great Wall stretches above it. Guan Sheng and others did not care much, and led their troops and horses to go their own way. Flee to higher ground along the city wall.
At this time, the troops gathered at Shahukou included the 15,000 defenders left by Lao Cao, the 40,000 reinforcements brought by Guan Sheng and Qin Ming, and the troops recruited by Sun An and others, no less than 78 Ten thousand people, how big is the wall? Most of the troops were hoarded in the military camp behind Guancheng.
Now that the flood was coming, the soldiers and horses behind the pass were able to escape in time, but the people and horses in the military camp behind the pass suffered a catastrophic disaster.
Poor soldiers and generals, they were frightened when they first heard the earthquake, and then they were even more frightened when they saw the gatekeepers fleeing to higher places in despair. Before they could understand what was going on, they saw a huge wave coming straight from the ground more than three feet high. After crossing the city wall, the city gates were flying out in all directions, and a huge flood covered the top in an instant.
Aguda had already mobilized his troops to a high place. Seeing the flood swallowing up Guancheng, he burst out laughing with joy. He called Atuhan and Ulu Saba and said, "You said earlier that Wu Zhi used a flood plan to destroy the city. He defeated the Xixia army and took the opportunity to kill Lou Shi and Wu Shu. How was the water situation that day compared to today?"
Both Atuhan and Ulu Saba were very excited: "Although the water was huge that day, how can it be compared with today? There are two mountains here, and the passage is narrow, which makes the power of the flood even greater. Your Majesty, this is exactly what happened. Tit for tat!"
Aguda's smile faded, and he revealed his murderous intent and said: "That's right! Wu Zhi took advantage of the situation to kill my beloved general and son. Today is the time for revenge. I must kill all his generals to eliminate the evil spirit in my heart!" "
Seeing that the stormy waters of the flood had passed and the water was slightly stable, he immediately ordered all the huge rafts that had been built earlier to be launched into the water. Wendy Hen, Atuhan and Ulu Saba were bent on revenge, so they were ordered to serve as vanguards, leading 20,000 gold soldiers. , riding a giant raft and going along the waves.
When Guan Sheng and others saw it, they cried out: "Unexpectedly, these guys have resorted to such vicious tactics. Now that they have lost the dangerous pass, how can they have the honor to see my brother?"
Seeing that his morale was low, Zongze shouted loudly: "Hey! A real man is guarding the border for the country. If the war is unfavorable, he will die. If you complain like this, are you like a golden dog?"
After that, he fired his spear and ran back to close it. Guan Sheng and others were encouraged by their courage. They all roared and killed the generals on both sides.
At this time, the big wave had passed, and the wall of Shahukou Pass was once again above the water. However, the rafts of Jin soldiers arrived one after another, and when they reached the pass, they were almost level with the wall, and a strong person could jump on it.
The Jurchen veteran Atu saw that Zongze was old, shouted loudly, and rushed forward to fight. Zongze was not afraid, and fought with him with his gun. Before the two of them fought, Ulusaba, the "Condor Shooter" jumped on A cold arrow was shot from the top of the city. Zongze couldn't dodge it and raised his left arm to cover his face. With a pop, the arrow shot through the iron sleeve. Zongze grunted and stumbled back.
A Tuhan was overjoyed and tried his best to attack. Unexpectedly, Guan Sheng rushed out from beside him and slashed A Tuhan into two pieces with his sword.
Ulusaba was about to shoot Guan Sheng again, but Luan Tingyu's sharp eyesight and quick hands opened his hand to hit the meteor hammer, which hit him right in the face. Ulusaba fell onto his back and fell into the water. No one rescued him in the chaos, so he drowned.
At this time, Wanyan Xigu led hundreds of warriors to kill him. This man was in charge of the capital, and his three warriors, Dilie, Huasha and Aqi, were all famous warriors in Wuhu.
Four people rushed to attack Luan Tingyu. Coach Luan fired his spear, but he was still defeated. Sun An saw this and danced his swords to help. The six men let go and fought. Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were also attracted, and they raised their swords simultaneously. , massacre.
Wanyan Orulu, the commander of the southern route, led his generals Huou, Puhude, Hu Lagu, and Wu Cun, and led hundreds of troops to kill the coming ones. This man was the brother of Zacchaeus, the uncle of Nianhan, Aguda's cousin was extremely brave and was one of the first famous officials of the Jin Kingdom to be painted in Yanqing Palace. He was later named the King of Jinyuan County.
When Qin Ming saw him and his men charging rampant, he shouted loudly and waved his mace to block them. Zhu Tong and Li Tianrun came to help.
After killing for a while, suddenly a golden general roared loudly, wearing no armor, showing muscles like a ghost, holding two maces, and jumped up to the city with all his strength. The shadow of the stick was like a mountain, and he smashed the defenders into pieces.
When all the golden generals on the city saw him coming to the city, they laughed in unison: "The Dragon and Tiger King is here! Sudden speed, you always climb first, why is it too late today?"
It turned out that this man was called Wan Yan Tu He Su. He was famous for his bravery and good fighting skills. He would always lead his cavalry into battle, kill generals and hold up the flag. He was always a champion. The Koreans and Liao people feared him like a tiger, so he was known as the "Dragon and Tiger King".
Tu Hesu yelled: "We only planned to attack tomorrow, but we didn't expect it to happen today, but you guys took the lead! Let's kill a few of his fierce generals to relieve our anger."
While he was talking, he encountered Huang Xin, the "Suppressor of Three Mountains". He suddenly swung two maces like windmills and smashed them on his head and face. Huang Xin waved the Sangmen Sword to fight. After blocking for a few times, he felt the weight of the opponent's sword. Like a mountain, he knew that he was not his opponent, but he was just above the city gate. He had already been killed like Shura in hell, and he had no way to retreat, so he had no choice but to risk his life and fight with him.
After reluctantly fighting for a while, Tu Hesu swung his left stick horizontally and hit Huang Xin's sword hard. Huang Xin couldn't help but let go of the sword involuntarily, and the door suddenly opened. Tu Hesu raised his foot and kicked him over, and the big stick in his right hand screamed. Smashed down.
Huang Xin's eyes widened, thinking that he was going to die, but he saw a snake spear coming at an angle. He weighed and twisted it, and used a skillful force to remove the stick. He heard a loud shout in his ears: "Brother Huang, please retreat. Wait for Du to kill this golden dog!"
Huang Xin escaped from death and looked gratefully. He saw it was "Sai Zhang Fei" Du Bo, with an ugly face, gritted steel teeth, and raised his snake spear to take the attack of the Dragon and Tiger King.
The two fought for a while, and each saw how powerful they were, but they refused to give in. They used all their life skills to kill fiercely, but they heard constant clanging noises, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while.
At this time, Guan Sheng stared at the red phoenix eyes, raised his silkworm eyebrows upside down, and strode to kill with the Qinglong Sword. The golden soldiers stepped forward to resist him. Who can take his sword? In a moment, the sword slashed twenty or thirty people, and they rushed to Du Bo's side. The sword's light was like lightning, covering Tu Hesu's whole body.
Guan Sheng and Du Bo joined forces, just like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei joined forces, but saw a green dragon sword slashing horizontally and straight, and a steel spear leaping into the air. Even if they had the courage to defeat the three armies, how could they withstand such a violent attack? After fighting for more than ten times, he finally shouted: "Come and help me!"
Before he finished speaking, Guan Sheng summoned up his might, turned around and struck out with a sword, forcefully splitting open the door. Du Bo stood up with a halberd, shouted loudly, and pierced Tu Hesu's heart with a spear. Guan Sheng made another strike, unscrewed the head, and flew straight up. One or two feet high or low.
All the golden soldiers and generals were pale when they saw that they had defeated the Dragon and Tiger King. The morale of the generals guarding the pass was greatly boosted. Several ruthless men worked together. Sun An's swords changed speed continuously, disrupting the rhythm of the enemy generals. He stabbed with one sword. Damn it, Qin Ming shouted loudly and smashed Wu Chou's head.
Wanyan Oru and Wanyan Xigu looked at each other, stepped back at the same time, turned over and jumped back onto the raft.
Seeing this, Guan Sheng was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue him. Unexpectedly, A Guda was faster in commanding him. With an order, arrows rained down like dark clouds. At this time, the watchtower and arrow shed at the gate of the city had long been washed away by the flood. The defenders Uncensored and unobstructed, it shot over in pieces.
Everyone had no choice but to duck down to avoid the arrows and watched helplessly as the golden soldiers retreated.
Soon after, the water retreated greatly, and the level land was only as high as a person's waist. Zongze sighed: "The city gate is broken, and all the utensils are destroyed. As soon as the water recedes, I am afraid that the Jin soldiers will attack in large numbers. With this broken pass, we can fight." It’s hard to win, so we can only make a decisive decision and retreat to Jingbian City!”
Jingbian City was built in the Warring States Period and was originally named Shanwu City. In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Jingbian City, which later became Youwei Town in Youyu County.
This city is twenty miles due south of Shahukou. All grain, fodder and equipment transported to Shahukou are stored in this county in advance. It serves as a barrier behind Shahukou.
Guan Sheng and others looked at the broken city wall under their feet and knew there was no other way. They immediately organized their troops and retreated to Jingbian City.
Everyone could not help weeping along the way, but out of the 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses that had been killed at Hukou, only less than 30,000 were left after the flood.
Arriving at the foot of Jingbian City, before entering the city, he heard the loud sound of horse hooves from behind. Zongze was surprised: "What a good Aguda, but he expected us to abandon the pass, and the pursuers came so fast!"
Guan Sheng shouted: "All armies quickly enter the city and set up defenses. Don't delay for a moment."
All of a sudden, all the troops rushed into the city and panicked. Seeing that the pursuers were already in sight, Guan Sheng got on the curly red rabbit horse and shouted: "It's too late! Come on, brothers, follow me and stop him for a while!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a green-maned horse running out of the alley next to Jingbian City. On the horse was a handsome young man with disheveled hair, dressed in white, carrying a tiger-head gun, and the barrel of the gun was as thick as the mouth of a bowl. He shouted: " Generals, please enter the city and wait for me to stop this group of golden soldiers!"
After that, he went straight to the Jinbing Brigade without stopping!
There is a saying:
Turbulent waves surged in front of the tiger's mouth, and wooden rafts climbed up to the height of the city wall. The heroic soldiers can sigh and chase the flowing water, but fortunately there are heroes with arrogant ambition.
