The surging flood poured down like the Milky Way, and the distant sky roared as if a mountain had collapsed and the earth had split.

With the last ray of afterglow between heaven and earth, mixed with lightning, one could vaguely see the surging torrent spreading out, and both sides of the Yuli River were instantly submerged.

The surging flood continued to flow downstream, and soon it approached Yuguan, about five kilometers away from Jiaoshan.

At this moment, the Liao army on the opposite bank had already noticed the roar of the mountains in the north. As it was dark, many people did not know what was happening. After hearing the noise, they all looked into the distance.

When they saw the surging flood, the Liao army who were building a pontoon bridge were almost scared out of their wits. They almost jumped up from their positions and ran towards the shore crying for their parents.

They were lucky because the sound of the dam collapse was so loud and the overwhelming flood came rushing in from a distance of several kilometers, giving them enough time to escape to both sides of the river.

Otherwise, if they were closer to Jiaoshan, the raging torrent would probably have quickly submerged them.

But the thousands of Liao troops on the west bank were in trouble. The flood suddenly flooded over and broke their formation. Just then, a large force of the Song army arrived. Di Qing made a prompt decision and ordered to muster up the remaining courage to annihilate this Liao army.

There was a flood behind them, and seven or eight thousand Song soldiers were blocking the way in front of them. It didn't take long before they fell to the ground one by one amid the sound of gunfire, and then ran away to other places.

Due to the bad weather and the fact that it was already dark, it was naturally impossible for the Song army to really annihilate this Liao army.

In fact, the Song army only fired a few shots from a distance. Except for a few hundred unlucky guys who were shot, most of the Liao army fled in panic in the north and south directions along the west bank.

Especially in the south, because the raging flood was rushing towards them fiercely at this time. If they went north, the flood that had already overflowed on both sides would probably sweep them into the turbulent waves, so they instinctively ran to the south.

The Song army did not pursue them. To the south was the sea, and a little further west was Guangning. There were Song army ships on the sea, and Guangning City was now occupied by the Song army. The Liao army had almost nowhere to go except to flee towards Yingzhou City further west.

Soon, the Liao army on the west bank was completely wiped out by the Song army.

Di Qing had not done this before. Firstly, the Song army was almost exhausted, and the Liao army was taking it seriously. Moreover, the Liao army on the east coast would continue to send ships to support them, so they might not be able to eat it quickly.

Secondly, Di Qing was also worried that if the dam suddenly collapsed while they were fighting with the Liao army, the flood would spread everywhere, and it would not be easy for them to escape from the battlefield.

Now they no longer have to worry about this. They stand on the dry shore and just shoot at the Liao army at will. This does not waste too much energy. At the same time, the Liao army on the east shore cannot attack them, so it is easy to defeat them.

Almost at the same time when the Song army was chasing the Liao army on the west bank, Di Qing saw rumbling sounds coming from the surface of the Yushui River.

The huge waves seemed to destroy everything in front of them. The ships of the Song army that were originally docked on the west bank of the Yuli River were overturned in the river in an instant.

At first, there were boats floating on the river, which was about thirty or forty feet wide. But soon, they quickly sank into the river. Then, there were only a lot of wood chips floating up and down in the river with rolling waves.

"Marshal, our ship"

Hu Yanshou, who was standing next to him, opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the wood chips on the river surface.

Although limited by the width of the river, their large Fuchuan battleships, Flying Tiger frigates and Sea Falcon attack ships did not enter the Yushui River for patrol.

But they concentrated more than 20 assault ships, assault ships, landing ships, and combat ships from the two armies, and there were even a lot of supplies and artillery on the ships, which was almost half of the assets of the Ping Navy and Ding Navy.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty navy was extremely expensive. The cheapest warship cost thousands of strings of cash, and the most expensive ones even tens of thousands of strings of cash. The impact of this flood was hundreds of thousands of strings of cash. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel heartbroken.

"The governor once said that wars are fought for money."

Di Qing laughed so hard that tears almost came out. He patted Hu Yanshouyong on the shoulder and pointed at the Liao army on the east bank and said with a laugh: "If we can use this money to buy our victory, then why not?"

The flood did indeed wash away their boats on the Yu River, but these boats were bait, designed to trick the Liao army into releasing a flood to submerge them.

If the several thousand Song soldiers were on the ship, it would be a heavy loss.

But if we can preserve our manpower and only destroy these ships, but prevent the Liao army from crossing the river for at least one or two days, then everything will be worth it.

One or two days was enough for the Song army to re-establish its defense line on the west bank and wait for the arrival of the Zhenhai Army.

As long as the Liao army on the east coast is firmly embedded east of Shanhaiguan, a large number of Liao reinforcements and supplies will not be delivered to Xijin Prefecture. Then, Yelu Zong will have only one end - a crushing defeat!

"Okay, stop looking, Di Shuai has gone back."

Seeing Huyan Shouyong still staring blankly at the river, Wang Kui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "After this battle, we can submit a petition to the court with our merits and ask them to build you a tower ship."

"A building ship?"

Hu Yanshou rolled his eyes at Wang Kui and said, "Can that thing be used on the sea?"

"Inside information."

Wang Kui looked around and then said mysteriously, "I heard that the court is building ironclad ships. They are made of the same stuff that pulls trains. In the future, they will no longer need manpower. They can easily travel a thousand miles a day on the sea. And they are all ironclad."
