In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...
As the saying goes:
“Grandpa was born between heaven and earth, and he is not afraid of the court or officials.
The water is covered with a net, and the turtles and tortoises are caught in it!"
The singing was clear and loud, echoing endlessly on the water. However, many Jin soldiers on the right side of the beach had difficulty understanding the local dialect and only thought that the man looked funny. Their reaction was the same as that of the Jin soldiers on the left who first saw him, and they laughed continuously.
However, amid the singing and laughter, Wanyan Saili did not say a word, wasting his fighting opportunity. At the central army, the four fierce generals came to ask in person, but they only saw this experienced general standing on his horse in a daze, as if thinking about something.
"General!"
Liu Lin asked carefully. "It's time to order a general attack!"
"Something is wrong!" Wanyan Saili confessed. "That guy is wrong!"
"That guy is just a scoundrel who pretends to be ugly. There have always been such people in the martial arts world!" Liu Lin quickly persuaded. "If you get startled, you will fall into his trap!"
"Master Liu is right." A Jurchen named Meng'an couldn't help but interrupt. "If the general is ruined by a clown on the water, wouldn't he become a joke? It's almost dark. If he can't defeat the Song army, and the pirates really come and retreat in a panic, wouldn't he be considered a loser?"
Wanyan Seri thought about it over and over but couldn't figure out what was wrong. He began to suspect that he was being too suspicious, so he nodded and gave the order to concentrate the elite troops and attack continuously to defeat the Song army before sunset!
Upon hearing the military order, the Jin army rushed forward. Many people splashed countless water while running on horses, which reflected light together with their armor in the setting sun, which was truly spectacular!
Seeing this scene, Wanyan Seri's feeling of uneasiness surged into his heart again, but he always found it difficult to tell what it was exactly... For a moment, he almost wanted to order the entire army to withdraw immediately, but in the end, reason overwhelmed emotion.
The battle started again, the entire Jin army pressed forward, and the two sides began to fight in water that was not up to the calf level. Every time someone died, countless splashes of water were created, and the previous pool of blood soon turned red again... And this time, Yue Pengju simply dismounted himself and led several hundred white cavalrymen who had rested for half a day to fight forward on foot!
Therefore, although the Song army's formation was gradually declining, they were still able to hold the Jin army at its weakest point.
Wanyan Seri, who was watching this scene from afar, felt very annoyed. But when he turned around, he saw the strange little boat appearing behind him on his left side and continuing to sing.
In an instant, the Jin general's vigilance became stronger, and he was completely attracted by this man. Because he couldn't hear the other party singing in the sound of fighting in front, Wanyan Saili actually chose to throw down the general's flag, ride to the left rear beach, and immediately listen to the other party's song in the shallow water.
And this time, he once again heard the other party's lyrics clearly.
As the saying goes:
“Grandpa was born between heaven and earth, not seeking wealth or honor, nor an official position.
Spend your life in Liangshanpo, eating and drinking as well as being like a god.
One day the Jin people came to Jeju, killing my brothers and destroying my fields.
How can we let him go to heaven when he comes to the water again today?"
Hearing this, not to mention Wanyan Seri, even Liu Lin on the side became alert, but when the two looked at each other, they saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes... Obviously, since they came to the water to fight, they all had guessed that the water bandits of Liangshanpo came out to help the Song army, so they were not too surprised by this person's position and the possible surface attack. It's just that they both noticed a hint of dangerous phenomenon that violated common sense from this person and this boat, but they couldn't explain it for the time being.
But they could not think too much, as the man turned the boat far in front of the reed marsh, and then a long fisherman's song "Aihou" fell heavily! In the reed marshes on both sides of the entire Shuotou Beach, it was like thunder, and the echoing shouts were heard!
It really is like thunder!
Thousands and tens of thousands of people shouted together, and the sound shook repeatedly on the vast water surface, which immediately frightened the Jin and Song armies who were fighting and made them lose their minds in panic!
Wanyan Seri and Liu Lin, however, were in the best position to witness a spectacular sight with their own eyes - under the setting sun, thousands of small boats emerged from the reed marshes, with only three to five people on each boat, but they rushed towards the beach with unstoppable momentum like cavalry emerging from the woods, just like thousands of horses galloping and charging into battle.
Wanyan Sali sucked in a breath of cold air and quickly turned around to look. Sure enough, on the other side of the beach, that is, in the deep of Liangshan Lake on the right, the small boats emerging from the reed marsh there were no less than those here. There were even countless large ships, which were coming from behind and rolling in!
All in all, there were no less than tens of thousands of naval forces ambushing on both sides!
"Retreat!" Without time to think, Wanyan Saili, who was under the command of the general, rushed back to the center on horseback and made the most reasonable decision. "We must not fight the pirates here at night!"
This time, as the general's flag was waved, no one, whether it was the Meng An or the officers of the Central Army, refuted it, because the scene of thousands of people responding to the fishing song was too shocking! The visual impact of this scene was really frightening!
The Jin army hastily retreated to reorganize, but the Song army, under the command of Yue Fei, gave up the pursuit and chose to retreat to rest instead.
After a while, as the nimble boats in front approached, the Jin army also assembled and mounted their horses. Under the setting sun, thousands of cavalrymen immediately changed from the rear army to the front army and galloped away along the way they came.
But what happened next overturned the common sense of Wanyan Seri and even all the thousands of Jin soldiers!
Led by the man with flowers in a red coat, hundreds of strangely shaped boats, like water cavalry, launched a flank charge on the retreating cavalry at the bottom of the gourd!
