However, although the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gaodi did not suffer major losses, the speed of their march slowed down considerably, and it took them seven or eight days to cover more than 300 miles, almost twice as slow as normal. In order to guard against the attacks of the Song army at all times, the soldiers had to increase their attention at all times, and the burden and psychological pressure were much greater than usual, so at this time, the soldiers of the coalition army were very tired.

Fortunately, at this time, he approached the border of Dali and Jiaozhi, and at this speed, he could reach the Heishui River in another day, and after crossing the Heishui River, he entered the boundary of Jiaozhi, and Li Quancheng had already ordered people to report back to China, and Jiaozhi would send people and horses to meet near the Heishui River.

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

In order to prevent the Song army from attacking at night, there was a fire in the Jiaozhi camp, which could be seen from miles away. Liu Fuwu rode his horse and stood there, looked at it from a distance, and said with a smile: "Yang Shuai is really clever, everything is in his plan." ”

Tian Kai said on the side: "Liu Tongzhi, let's start too." ”

Liu Fuwu nodded and said, "Let's start, be careful not to entangle with the enemy." ”

Tian Kai said with a smile: "Liu Tongzhi, you can rest assured, after such a long battle, can we still not know this?" As he spoke, he waved and led a team of cavalry to kill him.

In the silent night, the sound of horses' hooves was very loud, and although the soldiers of the night vigil of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition armies did not see the Song army, they also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately shouted: "The Song army is coming, the Song army is coming." When the other sleeping soldiers heard this, they got up and took up their weapons, ready to fight. Even the war elephants were awakened.

But the Song army did not attack, but only arrowed this side from a distance. The soldiers of this set of Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces had long been prepared, and raised their shields one by one to block the arrows. As soon as the Song army saw this, after shooting a few rounds of bows and arrows, they immediately withdrew. The soldiers of the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gaodi breathed a sigh of relief, and were just about to rest again, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the other side, and the Song army killed again. The soldiers of the coalition army had no choice but to pick up their spirits and continue to fight.

So on this night, the Song army rose and fell, constantly attacking the large battalions of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition armies from all directions, but when they saw that the soldiers of the coalition army were prepared, they never rushed up, but only released arrows from a distance, and retreated after shouting. Because the book was too dark in the middle of the night, and he was afraid that the Song army would deliberately lure it, Gao Jianming did not dare to send soldiers to pursue it, so he could only stay in the camp and be unable to cope. It was only when it was getting light that the Song army completely withdrew.

Gao Jianming knew that he couldn't stop here for a long time, so he only let the soldiers take a nap for half an hour, and then set off immediately after dawn and continued on his way. The combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gaoqi were all exhausted and did not sleep well at night, and at this time they were even more unenergetic, and they only shook when they walked, not to mention people, even strong animals like elephants were wilted and drooping.

Gao Jianming, Li Quancheng and others also fell asleep on their horses, but Gao Jianming knew that the Song army did not succeed last night, and he would never let go of himself easily today, so he fought hard, ran before and after, and constantly reminded the whole army to be cautious.

In this way, the whole army dragged its tired body and walked in fear for a day, but the Song army never appeared, and finally arrived at the Heishui River around no. 1 afternoon. I saw that the strange rocks on both sides of the Heishui River are craggy, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, although the river valley is narrow and deep, but the water flow is rushing and urgent, but there is a stone bridge on the river, which can be used by people and horses.

Seeing the Heishui River, Gao Jianming, Li Quancheng and others breathed a sigh of relief, and it was completely safe to cross the river. And at this moment, the sound of dense horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, and the cavalry of the Song army killed again.

Gao Jianming knew that the 30,000 army wanted to cross the river through this stone bridge, but it would not be able to cross it in a moment and a half. At this time, there must be no chaos, and it is necessary to organize the crossing of the bridge while resisting the Song army. Therefore, the soldiers were immediately ordered to prepare for battle, and at the same time all the war elephants were ready.

However, this time, the Song army did not avoid the real and the false, with the Jujia cavalry as the middle and the light cavalry as the two wings, and rushed towards the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces. Although the soldiers of the coalition army were very tired, they still gritted their teeth and insisted on taking up arms to fight, and Gao Jianming saw that the Song army had used the mata armored cavalry army at the beginning, and immediately sent all the elephant troops out. A scuffle ensued between the two sides.

Although the Song army has been following the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gaodi, at this time they are all full of energy and strength, and they do not look tired at all. And the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces thought they were tired at this time, if it weren't for the war elephants, they wouldn't be able to stop the impact of the Song army at all, although the elephants were also very tired at this time, but after all, they were strong, and they were rampage with their huge bodies, and they couldn't be underestimated, and the two sides were evenly matched for a while.

Gao Jianming commanded the soldiers to resist the Song army while organizing others to cross the bridge. At this moment, suddenly there were murderous sounds on both sides of the stone bridge, and countless Song troops were killed from the dense forest, all of them were infantry troops, and they killed the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gaodi.

Gao Jianming was taken aback, because he had been chasing only the cavalry of the Song army these days, so he had only been guarding against cavalry, but he didn't expect that the Song army still had an infantry army, which suddenly came out at this time. The combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gaodi were unprepared, and the war elephants were used to deal with the Song cavalry in front, and at this time, the men and horses on both wings were tired, sleepy and tired, and they could block the attack of this new force, and they were suddenly impulsively formed by the Song army, and they were in chaos.

In fact, this time the pursuit of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition armies was the two armies of the Feng Army and the Left Army. And from the very beginning, Yang Yan had determined the arrangements for ambushing the coalition forces by the Heishui River. Along the way, the Xuanfeng army couldn't stop complaining about the coalition army, firstly, to create the illusion that only the cavalry was chasing them, and secondly, to make the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition troops exhausted, and when they arrived at the Heishui River, the whole army was exhausted, so that the Song army succeeded in the first battle.

And last night's troubles were also to aggravate the fatigue of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces. After the withdrawal of the Xuanfeng Army, he immediately rested for most of the day and recovered his strength, because it was all cavalry, although it appeared a long time late, but it still quickly rushed to the Heishui River, and the left army had already laid an ambush on both sides of the stone bridge.

The men and horses of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces actually fled from each other, scrambling to cross the stone bridge to escape for their lives. However, the deck of the stone bridge was not very wide, and the soldiers of the Cochin and Gaodi coalition forces pushed and shrugged each other, crowding each other, and many people were squeezed into the rushing river, swallowed by the rushing black water.

Even the war elephants couldn't stand it at this time, because of the fatigue of the days, many war elephants were unable to support their heavy bodies, and they didn't need Song Jun to do it, and they fell to the ground a lot. And the soldiers of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces who were fighting with the Song army could not be stopped, and were killed and wounded countless times, so they had to retreat again and again, but behind them was the Heishui River, and the Shiqiaokou was crowded by the defeated army, and the needle could not be inserted, and there was no way to retreat, and the people in the last row were squeezed to the Heishui River, and some soldiers who knew how to water had to throw down their weapons and jump into the Heishui River to escape. But the Blackwater River was so rapid that most people were swallowed up by the fierce water.

However, Gao Jianming, Li Quancheng and others were very smart, and as soon as they saw the Song army killed, they immediately hid at the end of the whole army and chose the safest position. Seeing that the combined forces of Jiaozhi and Gao were defeated by the Song army, they immediately passed through the stone bridge and came to the other side of the Heishui River.

At this time, looking across the Heishui River to the other side, I saw that under the fierce attack of the Song army, the opposite bank was full of the corpses of countless soldiers of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces, and many soldiers and elephants were driven into the Heishui River by the Song army, struggling desperately, this scene was simply miserable. But there is nothing that can be done.

In desperation, Gao Jianming had no choice but to order the soldiers who ran over to try their best to rescue the defeated army in the river, and they rescued one by one anyway. At the head of the bridge, he urged the soldiers on the bridge to cross the bridge quickly to make way for those behind. At this time, two elephants also ran to the bridge, and when they ran to the middle of the stone bridge, they fell on the bridge because of their physical strength, and they struggled to get up for a while, making the bridge deck that was not wide even narrower, and the soldiers behind could only squeeze over from the side of the giant elephant that fell to the ground, making the speed of crossing the bridge slower.

In order to fight for this glimmer of life, the soldiers tried their last strength, brandished the weapons in their hands, and desperately tore their own people, wailing and bleeding, and the soldiers fell on the bridge deck to cushion their old companions; Or step on the corpses of former comrades-in-arms to get a chance to survive.

At this time, on the opposite bank, a large number of soldiers and war elephants of the Jiaozhi and Gaodi coalition forces were squeezed into the Heishui River, almost filling the riverbed, and the soldiers who knew how to swim desperately to the opposite bank, and the soldiers who did not know the water and were physically exhausted could only drift with the waves and resign themselves to fate. After the Song army rushed to the river, he stood on the bank of the river and fired his bow and arrows at the soldiers struggling in the river, and as the arrows shot by the Song army broke through the sky with a sharp and piercing sound, the screams immediately resounded throughout the surface of the Heishui River, and a large amount of blood gushed out, dyeing the dark river water into dark red blood.
