Chapter 842 Ready to take off the vest and make up the common people?
Chapter 842
Song Jun, who were still at the ferry, was stunned at first, and soon reacted. They all rush to untie the armor. The smart ones simply picked up the weapon and directly cut off the tether and belt of the armor. Soon, more and more people followed suit.
Soon, these three or four hundred soldiers took less than twenty breaths to disarm themselves, and threw all the weapons and armor into the river, then they picked up the wooden boards scattered at the ferry and walked towards the river.
Although many soldiers do not understand the nature of water, many of them understand the nature of water. They hold each other and swim hard towards the center of the river.
Liang Shou and his personal soldiers were the last batch of water to be drained. Thank God and themselves, the river water selected in this section of the river is very smooth, and now it is hot summer, so the river water will not cause hypothermia.
There were no big waves on the gentle river surface, which made the land ducks holding wooden boards or barrels not panic. In addition, the water-conscious robes around them were loudly encouraged. None of the three or four hundred people miraculously fell behind, and they all swam towards the center of the river at a slow and resolute speed.
At this moment, countless Western Xia cavalry rushed into the ferry like a torrent, but they were blocked by the war horses abandoned by the Song army on the shore. The extremely enraged Western Xia cavalry chopped dozens of war horses, and then drove away these blocked beasts.
However, when they rushed to the dock, it was empty, but soon a sharp-eyed person saw a human body floating on the river.
"Pull the arrows and shoot them!" The general led the army shouted loudly, picked up the hard bow, slapped the arrows, and shot them hard. The Western Xia cavalry beside him followed suit. Soon, the rain of arrows poured on the river like heavy rain, causing ripples in the center of the circle.
What is most fortunate is that at this moment, because Liang Shou reacted in time, they had already swam a lot of distance, and most of the arrows could only plunge into the river weakly.
Only a few arrows shot by hard bows will fall on their sides. Even though there are not many people who can use hard bows, nearly a hundred sharp arrows still fall into the crowd.
Muffled groans and screams rang out one after another, and at least ten soldiers were injured. Blood flowers emerged from the clear river...
Fortunately, at this time, the ferry finally arrived to meet with them. The sailors familiar with the water nature of the ferry jumped into the water one after another, and rescued the soldiers who were injured and let go and almost sank to the bottom of the river.
The ferry threw down a rope. As long as the soldiers floating on the water grabbed the rope, they used the pulling force of the rope to swim towards the ferry...
The second round of arrow rain landed again, but this time, only a few people were injured and were soon rescued by the sailors on the ferry.
"General, general, don't need to shoot anymore... those Song dogs have left our range..."
Mo Kun, who was commanding the army for days, had a blue face and put away the hard bow in his hand in disappointment. Thousands of war horses were scattered on the docks and river beaches on the shore. It must have been left by these Song people, but there was no more ferry.
"Send the order and let them continue to go north to see where there are ships that can cross the river. The Song army retreated in great panic and all the horses were thrown here. As long as we can find the ships, we can cross the river and wipe out these Song thieves."
"In addition, we immediately spread news to Xingqing Prefecture and the veteran general Weiming, saying that we had already grabbed the tail of the Song army's partial division..."
After issuing a series of military orders, the soldiers ordered the soldiers to collect these horses. Even if they failed to kill these Song troops, they had some spoils...
On this side of the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Mao and Luo Ping stood anxiously on the shore, looking into the middle of the river. When smoke and dust rolled, the Western Xia cavalry were about to appear. When the ferry was only half over, Li Mao and Luo Ping thought that Liang Shou had the remaining three or four hundred Song soldiers to be cold.
While feeling a sense of regret and remorse, I saw the Song soldiers who were left on the dock from the telescope, one by one, and two were throwing their lives into the river.
Li Mao and Luo Ping were confused on the spot. What's the fuck? Why did Liang Shou want to make these big Song Hu Ben? Is it because they want to take off their vests and put on makeup before the Western Xia army was approaching?
But the problem is that these people are all the great Song Dynasty tigers, and few people understand Dangxiang's words and can't get through... Then, after seeing the Song army abandoned their armor jumping into the river with wooden boards in their arms, Li Mao and Luo Ping couldn't help but show joy on their faces.
I wish I could rush over and give my praise to Liang Shou in person, but soon, the Xixia army rushed to the river bank and shot arrows into the river, their hearts sank again.
They kept staring at the river nervously, watching the ferries parked on the river, and then began to slowly sail towards the east bank, until they approached the shore, and saw the wet soldiers jumping onto the shore with a smile, and then they had a breath of energy.
"Where is General Liang? Why didn't you see him?" Li Mao searched for a long time, but didn't see Liang Shou. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous and asked when he grabbed a soldier who had just landed.
"General Li, Liang is here. He has injuries on his leg and is inconvenient to move. Please forgive me." At this time, Liang Shou walked out of the cabin with the help of his personal soldiers.
It turned out that just when the first batch of arrows fell, Liang Shou was hit by an arrow very hard, hitting the calf. Fortunately, he was very tough. He held the wooden board tightly, and under the protection of his personal soldiers, he insisted on swimming to the ferry.
Finally, the wounded were not serious except for two soldiers, one of whom was shot in the neck and the other was shot in the waist and abdomen, and died without treatment.
"What should we do now? Our biggest problem now is that there are not enough war horses, only more than 2,300 horses, and we have a total of 3,000 soldiers. This means that some soldiers need to walk..."
"The people of Xixia have discovered our whereabouts. I believe that it won't take too long to send troops to chase us." Liang Shou, Li Mao, Luo Ping, and the Zheng Zheng who rushed over hurriedly sat down together to discuss the next stop.
"How about the general who was the last to rush back to the camp to report to the general and let him come over to pick him up?" Zheng Zheng spoke.
"It is for sure. The faster the better. As long as we can join forces, we can have enough mounts to retreat to Baishi City at a faster speed." Li Mao nodded and replied.
