However, Puchagulu, who came in such a hurry that he had to go into the river to shoot arrows to rescue, was even more panicked than Li Kui, because when Li Kui and his group rushed out, most of the guards around Talai were scared away, and the horses also lost control and fled... At this time, there was only a trembling General Hong beside Talai on the opposite side.

I dare to ask, how can an old man and a southern scholar, stripped naked and without a horse to rely on, cross this shallow ford with thin floating ice above and a turbulent undercurrent below? In fact, the two of them supported each other and took a few steps in panic, then stumbled out of control.

What's worse is that the water in the upper reaches of the Qishui River is very wide, and the Jin army's shooting range cannot reach the other side at all. Only Pucha Hubalu came into the waist-deep river with ice chips, raised his hard bow high and shot blindly, and he could barely reach the other side. And he waited until the last moment when he was helpless before he gritted his teeth and shot the arrow... It can only be said that he was lucky to hit the target... And at this time, if the Song army found out about the movement and chased after them, and shot arrows from that side, what would happen if the old man died?

To be honest, at this time, Hubalu wanted to abandon the old man opposite, but he really couldn't abandon him... As a direct subordinate of Wan Hu, how could he abandon his own marshal in front of the army? Where is the military law? If he doesn't save him today, the king will definitely hang him with his own hands when he returns!

What’s more, he is his father-in-law, his political backer?

Therefore, the Jin army commander was helpless and could only call on his personal guards to load the large crossbows on the shore, then go down to the river and hold them high to block Li Kui and others on the opposite side, then he personally took off his armor, supported a tall warhorse with its vest removed and crossed the river to rescue them.

The few guards cavalry behind him had no choice but to do the same and keep up.

In the end, this man really led seven or eight people over with his bravery, and gave his warhorse to Talai. Then, Talai mounted the horse and held the horse's neck, while Hong Ya pulled the horse's tail, and with Pucha Hubalu personally covering the rear, they slowly crossed the river surrounded by several guards.

Seeing this, Li Kui, who was hiding behind the shield, was completely disappointed and felt that he had been hit by the arrow in vain today.

However, when Gubalu saw his father-in-law crossing the river, he was about to retreat to the east bank, but after taking a few steps, he saw the shield standing in the shallows, and his anger rose up again. He decided to go all out, so he turned around and headed west with a few bare-chested guards, ready to chop the man to death!

This time, it was Li Kui's turn to be desperate. The enemy officers came for hand-to-hand combat, so he no longer had to worry about the inaccurate crossbow arrows from the other side. But he had an injured arm after all. There were only a few brave civilians on the shore who had not yet escaped. How could he resist?

Sure enough, after a few rounds, the few remaining civilians on the shore were killed by a few fresh Jin soldiers and had to flee. Li Kui himself was in an even more miserable state and was almost killed by the Hubalu on the riverbank!

However, as the saying goes, good times come with twists and turns, things on the battlefield are always so ups and downs... Maybe it was not right for Li Kui to die today, in the chaos, suddenly another Song army came, it was the previous movement here that attracted a part of the Song official army that was looking for military merit along the river, and when the Song army arrived here, they easily killed the few remaining Jin soldiers on the shore with bows and arrows.

Not only that, the leading general actually recognized Li Kui. After he rushed out, he put on heavy armor, an iron helmet and an iron mask, and rushed to the riverbank to rescue. He also shouted from a distance in an attempt to scare the Jin army officers:

"Don't worry, Brother Li, Niu Gao from Ruzhou is here!"

After hearing this, he only took a glance and realized that the other party was of burly build and did not look like an ordinary person. Moreover, all the personal guards who had crossed the river with him had been killed. Pucha Hubalu naturally did not dare to fight and immediately gave up Li Kui and left.

At this moment, Li Kui looked up and his heart moved again... because he found that after Talai on the other side of the river came ashore, he did not take the opportunity to escape, but looked at the Jin army officer who came to kill him anxiously. It was obvious that this general was not an ordinary person.

This time, Commander Li realized the identity of this person almost instantly, but he gritted his teeth, broke the arrow on his shoulder, and then rushed forward regardless of everything, shouldering the shield, and with just one pounce, he threw the man to the riverbank, and did not forget to turn around and call out to Niu Gao: "Commander Niu, come quickly, come quickly, I will give you a great contribution!"

Gubalu knew that his identity had been discovered, so he tried to stand up in the shallow water. However, Li Kui could not let him stand up, so he held the man down from behind with his shield! In this scene, the crossbowmen of the Jin army dared not shoot recklessly, but could only stare in amazement at the general with the big flag with the word "Niu" on it, wearing heavy armor, running into the shallow water of ice at a high speed, and then calmly joining the melee!

But what happened next stunned everyone - they saw Hubalu struggling hard in the water and trying to get up, while Niu Gao, who was too big to use his weapon, simply abandoned the weapon in his hand and followed Li Kui's example, relying on his heavy armor to hold down the Jin general's waist, and then reached out to hold down the opponent's arm. As for Li Kui, who had his hands free, he took the opportunity to raise his shield and then smashed it hard on the neck of the person under him.

Only Li Kui was injured. After hitting him, he still couldn't kill the Jin army commander. With no other choice, the shirtless Song army commander simply put his shield on the opponent's neck and pressed down on him...

The Jin army was in a panic. Countless Jin soldiers tried to cross the river to rescue them regardless of the water level. But how could they cross the river easily? After walking a few steps, someone slipped and sank under the ice in the water. It was difficult for him to get up. Several crossbowmen shot at him, but they were not accurate.

It is said that Pucha Hubalu was truly brave. Even though he was pinned down by two Song generals, he still struggled non-stop, and from time to time he forced his head up from the icy water. But as soon as he raised his head, the two generals behind him would exert force to press him down again... This farce lasted for more than half a quarter of an hour before it completely stopped.

At this time, countless Jin and Song troops had already gathered on both sides of the Qishui River, and they watched almost the entire process of how the Jin army commander was drowned to death by two Song generals in water only one foot shallow.

Let alone others, Wanyan Talan fled naked on the other side of the river, and was surrounded by his own 10,000 cavalry. He knew he was safe and had long since come to his senses. But at this moment, he was standing by the river and saw his son-in-law suffer such a fate. He was powerless and completely speechless, shaking all over, and felt as if he had lost his confidant and heart!

In this battle, he lost too much!
