"Of course I know that. I'm worried about the safety of King Qi."
Xiao Wanli shook his head bitterly.
The flood washed away the Song army's boats on the river. When the flood receded and the water flow began to slow down, it seemed that their small boats could finally pass.
But Xiao Xiaomu's capture was still a huge stone weighing on his heart.
Although he and Xiao Xiaomu both have the surname Xiao and are from the Xiao family, their status varies among those with the same surname.
Compared with Xiao Xiaomu, his status is far inferior.
This time, Xiao Xiaomu was captured. Even if he fought his way to the other side and defeated the Song army, it would probably be considered more a fault than a merit in Yelu Zongzhen's eyes, and it would be a blessing that he was not imprisoned and punished.
Shulü Chuoliji quickly consoled him, saying, "The King of Qi holds a noble position; the Song people will not dare to harm him. As long as we defeat the Song army, we may be able to rescue the King of Qi."
"I hope so."
Xiao Wanli said without comment.
At this moment, someone shouted: "Your Majesty, our people have attacked and the Song army is beginning to collapse."
"oh?"
Xiao Wanli quickly looked towards the other side.
It was seen that the Song army on the opposite bank seemed to have begun to suffer a major defeat. Many people did not dare to continue defending on the shore, and they withdrew from the battle and fled towards Guangning.
At this moment, a large number of Liao troops began to land on the west side of the Yuli River and quickly occupied the defense zone on the opposite bank.
Seeing this, Xiao Wanli was overjoyed. He had finally used up all the bullets of the Song army, so he immediately said, "Okay, pass on my order. The vanguard troops will immediately board the boats and head to the other side to cover the army's crossing of the river!"
He must have all his main forces cross the river and annihilate Di Qing to relieve his hatred.
"yes."
The messenger responded.
Soon, following Xiao Wanli's order, about 20,000 soldiers of the Liao army's vanguard began to formally prepare to board the ship.
However, less than two quarters of an hour had passed, when countless Liao soldiers approached the shore and began to board the boats to row to the other side.
Someone shouted, "Look! The Song fleet!"
Suddenly there was a commotion.
Many people's eyes were looking towards the South Ocean.
Various ships on the Yushui River began to fall into chaos.
Some wanted to keep going, some wanted to row back, and some were at a loss as to what to do.
Xiao Wanli on the shore was still thinking about annihilating this Song army and rescuing Xiao Xiaomu.
When he has made such a great contribution, I believe that His Majesty will not punish him anymore, but will reward him instead.
As Xiao Wanli thought about it, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
After all, Di Qing was a general of the Song Dynasty second only to Fan Zhongyan and Zhang Kang. If he could be captured or killed, it would be a great achievement.
As he was thinking this, the noise nearby quickly caught his attention, and Xiao Wanli instinctively turned his head to look south.
Upon seeing this, the originally happy face almost froze, and the smile froze in an instant.
Because he saw a large number of ships emerging on the southern sea.
Although it was far away, that was because he was standing on the shore several kilometers away, and the boats were already heading towards the Yushui River.
That moment.
Xiao Wanli almost suffered a cardiac arrest!
