"You've done your best."

Di Qing saw his appearance but did not blame him. As far as he could see, a large number of Liao troops on the east bank were ready to attack.

The Liao army did not know how to operate large ships, so naturally they had no way of using the Song army's ships to transport troops. Relying on small boats, not many people could pass through each time. With the Song army blocking the way, the large army was still blocked on the east bank of the Yuli River.

However, judging by the current situation, it wasn't long before the Liao army could build a pontoon bridge. Besides rapidly constructing the bridge, the Liao army was still transporting troops and horses to the other side in small boats.

The Song army had just experienced a desperate battle and a long march of 30 kilometers a day. They were exhausted. They fought a bloody battle in the heavy rain with the Liao army on the west bank who were already waiting for them. No one knew what the outcome would be.

But Di Qing remained unmoved and shouted, "Send three thousand men back to the city to rest, and the rest of you return to the boats first."

"General, should we take advantage of this opportunity now?"

Huyan Shouyong hurried over to ask.

"No problem."

Di Qing frowned and said, "If Liu Du's situation is hopeless, then we should retreat to the boat. I don't believe their makeshift dam can really hold up for that long."

The Liao army did not choose to release the flood but directly crossed the river because they felt the situation was urgent and they had to take the risk of crossing the river to rescue Xiao Xiaomu.

Otherwise, if something happened to Xiao Xiaomu, Xiao Wanli would definitely be in trouble.

But the Song army doesn't need to be so hasty.

They could abandon the boats on the river, and they still had some boats on the sea, so at least they had a way to retreat.

And the Zhenhai Army is already on the way.

So they have two plans.

One is that Liu Du destroyed the dam, and now the flood is blocking the Liao army. After the flood, the Song army will drive some ships on the sea into the Yuli River again to cut off the Liao army's passage.

Second, Liu Du failed and they were forced to return to the sea. After the Zhenhai Army arrived, they could still join forces with the Zhenhai Army to carry out harassment behind enemy lines. Moreover, if the Liao army did not release the flood water, the stored water would collapse sooner or later.

If the soldiers were allowed to attack again, the worst possible scenario would occur.

Even if Liu Du had not succeeded, the Song army would have forced themselves to stop the enemy with their exhausted bodies, but would have failed, and their entire Song army would have been wiped out.

Therefore, when Di Qing thought of Zhao Jun's teachings, he had to consider the issue of "as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."

"Let's go back to the city!"

Di Qing waved his hand and knew what decision he should make now.

But just as he was about to rein in his horse and go back.

Then, a terrifying roar was heard from the mountains several kilometers away, as if a mountain was collapsing and the Milky Way was flowing backwards.

Countless raging floods came, roaring and rushing, like rumbling tanks, ready to crush everything in front of them into powder!

Di Qing turned his head. It was already dark, with only a faint gray light. But he could still see the waves rippling in the distance.

Liu Du succeeded!
