Soon, some people fled with Gao Jianming, Gao Jianxun, Ruan Chieftain and others, and immediately spread throughout the army. The soldiers of the Jiaozhi and Gao coalition forces, who had originally thought that they would not be able to deal with it, had no intention of fighting, and they were immediately defeated on all fronts, and they only cared about fleeing to the west bank.

Yang Yan originally left a thousand cavalry troops, ready to use them to surprise the enemy army when the two sides were at a stalemate, but he didn't expect the enemy army to retreat so quickly, so that this thousand cavalry army was useless with Ben, and immediately ordered the Song army to chase after the defeated army to cover up and kill, and never let it go.

Although there are nine pontoon bridges on the Lishe River, more than 30,000 horses cannot pass through it for a while, not to mention that the Song army is still chasing and killing behind the rear of the defeated army. The soldiers who got on the pontoon bridge hurriedly rushed to the opposite bank, and the soldiers who did not get on the pontoon bridge rushed to get on the pontoon bridge, you pushed me and squeezed, even at the expense of using force. The defeated army trampled on each other, and countless people were killed and wounded, and many people were squeezed into the river. There was also a pontoon bridge that broke because it was overwhelmed, and many defeated troops fell into the Lishe River and were flooded by the river.

Although there is an arrow tower guarding the edge of the pontoon bridge, the front team of the Song army and the rear team of the defeated army of the Jiaozhi and Gao coalition armies are intertwined, and they are not clear from the original in the dark night, and the archers on the arrow tower are afraid of hurting their own people, and they do not dare to release their arrows easily. What's more, when the Song army rushed to the pontoon bridge with the defeated army, the arrow tower would be useless. Several arrow towers were set on fire by the Song army, and the archers on the other arrow towers also fled from the arrow towers one after another, and fled with the defeated army.

However, Gao Jianming, Gao Jianxun, Ruan Sheikjin and others crossed the Lishe River safely because they left earlier. \\ I wanted to dismantle the pontoon bridge and block the Song army from crossing the river, but the defeated army of the coalition army was like a mountain, swarming in, and I couldn't start with Ben, so I had to do it.

At this time, the western camp of the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gao was all surrounded by fire, and the heat wave was pressing, like a mountain of flames. The smoky, burnt smell was disgusting. Fortunately, the Song army that broke through the Xiying did not intercept it at this time, and Gao Jianming, Gao Jianxun, Ruan Chieftain and others did not dare to stay, bypassed the burning Xiying, and fled in the direction of Dali City.

It turned out that Liu Fuwu strictly guarded Yang Yan's general order, and did not intercept it at the head, but waited for the defeated army to retreat, and then covered up the killing, so after breaking through the western camp, he set a fire and burned the western camp, and then led the cavalry to hide in the dark, while resting for a while, while waiting for the defeated army to retreat.

After a long time, most of the defeated troops of the Jiaozhi and Gao coalition forces crossed the pontoon bridge, came to the west bank, and fled to Dali City with the front team. Liu Fuwu immediately led the men and horses to kill, and at this time, the Song army also clung to the tail of the defeated army and passed the pontoon bridge one after another. Yang Yan also accompanied the Song army's brigade to the west bank.

As soon as Liu Fuwu saw that Yang Yan had also arrived, he didn't care about pursuing the enemy army, so he came to see Yang Yan first.

As soon as Yang Yan saw Liu Fuwu, he hurriedly said: "Liu Tong, you came just in time, hurry up and pursue the enemy." Then he gave Liu Fuwu a few words in a low voice, and handed over all the 1,000 armored cavalry troops on his side to Liu Fuwu's command.

Liu Fuwu received the order and immediately led his men and horses to pursue. Yang Yan immediately gave the order, and the remaining Song troops began to clean up the battlefield and prepare to collect their troops. For the Song army, since last year, with Yang Yan, there have been a lot of such victories, so this battle has been won, and I don't feel very excited, but the soldiers of Dali are different, the last time the Song army won a big victory, and the Dali army did not participate, but this time it was the participation of the three thousand Dali army led by Liu Renxian. Since Gao Jianming's rebellion, Dali has been defeated by the Jiaozhi and Gao coalition forces one after another, and now he has finally raised his eyebrows, so he cheered and was excited.

While several Dali generals were excited, they were also shocked that the combat effectiveness of the Song army was so strong. In the past, I heard that the Song army always seemed to be weak. Everyone was secretly muttering in their hearts, "Don't be an enemy of the Song Army in the future." ”

******************************

Gao Jianming and the others ran out of more than 20 miles in one breath, and then stopped their footsteps, at this time the sky gradually brightened, Gao Jianming looked back, only to see countless helmets and slanted armor behind him, untidy, panicked, embarrassed defeated army, but it seemed that he did not see the pursuers of the Song army. It seems that Song Jun did not catch up, and Gao Jianming relaxed a little.

At this time, Chief Ruan approached and said: "Master Gao, it seems that the Song army has not caught up, let's take a rest first." I'm exhausted. ”

Hearing Chief Ruan say this, Gao Jianming felt that his whole body was also sore, he had never had such an experience of galloping on a horse, and now he only felt that the joints of his body were hurting. They were accompanied by more than a hundred cavalrymen, but all of them were bared their teeth, not to mention that even every horse was so tired that they were panting, and several of them were foaming at the mouth.

Gao Jianxun also said: "Brother, let's rest for a while, and take this opportunity to collect the defeated army." ”

Gao Jianming stabilized his mind and said, "Okay, then let's rest for a while, but we have to send someone to keep guard, and be careful that the Song army catches up." And it's not safe here, you can't stop for too long, gather a little team, and leave right away. ”

Gao Jianxun agreed, and immediately ordered someone to collect the defeated army of Long, and Gao Jianming and Chief Ruan, as well as other cavalry, dismounted, sat on the ground and gasped, some of the defeated troops gathered in Gao Jianming's side heard that they could rest, and they all sat or lay down, these soldiers were tossed all night, and many of them were still wounded, and they were tired and tired at this time, and they didn't want to get up when they lay on the ground.

Gao Jianming sat on the ground, a soldier handed a kettle, Gao Jianming just drank two sips of water, only to see the sentry soldiers running back quickly, shouting as they ran: "Song Jun is chasing, Song Jun is chasing, everyone run." Immediately afterwards there was a dense sound of horses' hooves, and from far and near, in the gray morning light, quickly approached the defeated army.

Gao Jianming was taken aback, Song Jun came so quickly, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and thought hatefully: What does the sentry do? Why did you come so late to report the news? When I go back, I will definitely clean up this sentry.
