On the night of June 12, the Song army finally came to the beach of Dengzhou. Through the hazy moonlight, you can see the endless black sea, the sea water pulls and laps the beach to make a "rustling" sound, and the air is full of salty and wet breath.

Xin Qiji said: "Yang Yan, this is the Dengzhou Seaside." ”

Yang Yan nodded, and immediately asked Cao Xun and Gao Zhen to take people to chop some firewood and come back, so that they could light the fire. More than 1,000 people went to chop firewood, and in less than half an hour, the chopped firewood was piled up into three firewood piles more than one zhang high, and it is estimated that it will not be burned even if it is lit in a day.

Yang Yan ordered the fire to be lit, and after a while, three fires were blazing, looking very bright and dazzling in the dark night. Yang Yan sighed secretly in his heart, everything he could have done was done, whether Song Jun could return to the Great Song Dynasty safely, now it was only up to God. Then he ordered the whole army to go twenty miles to the east, waiting for the receiving fleet.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, it was close to noon, the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was no sunshine in sight, and it was gray as dusk. The air was filled with heat and moisture, turning into an unpleasant wind that blew in the face and became more and more stuffy.

Although the soldiers kept wiping the sweat from their faces, they still sat on their horses in a neat and straight manner, waiting for the battle, without the slightest relaxation. Wan Yan Changzhi was very satisfied. There were a total of 4,500 people in the pursuit of the Song army, of which 500 were Wanyan Changzhi's personal guards, and the other 4,000 were Tiefutu who changed into light armor. Each person had two horses to transfer, all the way day and night, and finally arrived at the beach in Dengzhou in two days and two nights.

Among the accompanying generals, in addition to Monk Wanyan Chen and Guo Xitoad, there were four generals: Tu Danhe, Da Huaizhong, Yelu Yuanyi, and A Retreat. and four monks from Hoeryeong Temple. Although these four monks are not Pufeng's personal disciples, they are also the second-generation disciples of Huining Temple, and their martial arts are no less than the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes, especially good at joining forces to attack.

Monk Wanyan Chen took off his helmet, shook off the long whip around his neck, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Changzhi, it's such a sultry weather, I'm afraid there will be a thunderstorm today." ”

After Yan Changzhi let out a "hmm", he looked at the three fires that were still billowing smoke in front of him and said, "It seems that the white-robed army arrived here last night, and the lighting of the fire pile is probably to send a message to their receiving fleet." The traces of the horses' hooves on the ground are still very new, and they will never last more than a day. ”

Monk Wanyan Chen put on his helmet again and said, "Then the white-robed army will not run far, it should be nearby, follow the horse's hoof print, and they should be found soon." ”

While the two were talking, a spying Pegasus ran up to them and said, "Report to your lord, the traces of the horse's hooves will be gone until you reach the seashore." ”

"Oh!" Wan Yan Changzhi was slightly surprised, but immediately understood: "They must have left by stepping on the sea, so that the sea water can wash away the traces left by the white-robed army." Yang Yan is still so cautious at this point, which is really admirable. ”

Monk Wanyan Chen said: "Even if this is the case, it is impossible for the white-robed army to go far, we will send people to look for them separately, and we will definitely be able to find them." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "And it's impossible for them to leave the beach, just go along the beach and look for it." ”

---------------------------------------------------------

The vast sea shrouded in thick dark clouds, and there seemed to be a faint white flash dancing on the sea, but there was not a shadow of the sail in sight.

The dreary air seemed to overwhelm people. However, the pressure from the heart is the main reason for the worry. More than ten hours had passed between last night and noon today, and yet there was still no trace of the fleet. Song Jun, who was hiding in the woods not far from the sea, was resting, and everyone felt as if they were pressing a big stone in their hearts, and they were heavy. Except for the occasional horse roar, everyone was silent, and even Cao Xun, who usually liked to talk the most, was dull and silent at this time. Only the flying eagle Xiaobai didn't know any sorrow, and soared freely in the endless sky.

Although the fleet should have arrived long ago, it was impossible for them to anchor on the shore of Dengzhou, and they would definitely hide near a hidden island and wait for the Song army. Judging from the map, the nearest island to Dengzhou is Shamen Island, 20 miles to the north, which was a place where convicts were sent to hard labor in the former Song Dynasty and the current Jin Dynasty. The Song army's fleet would not be anchored there, and could only hide further north on Huoji Island or in the vicinity of Chin Island and Wuhu Island. The farthest place is close to 100 miles away from Dengzhou, and it can immediately see the signal of the Song army's fire, and it will take a while to rush over.

"Maybe a day or two later." At this time, even Yang Yan had nothing to do, he could only stand at the edge of the woods, his eyes kept staring at the sea, anxiously and worriedly looking forward to the appearance of the fleet. In fact, there is a question hidden in everyone's heart, which not only dare not ask, but also dare not even think about: will the fleet really come?

At present, the dry food of the Song army is enough for two or three days, but Yang Yan is not too concerned about food, because he can rely on fishing, hunting, wild vegetables, wild fruits, and even killing horses as food, which is enough to support five or six days. What made Yang Yan most hearted was that the expeditionary army to the sea had lost the space to move vertically and horizontally, and once it was discovered by the Jin army, the Song army had to wait for death in place.

"Now Fushi Lie Zhining should still be in Hebei and Zhongdu, even if he understands and immediately sends troops over, it will be at least four or five days later; The Jin troops stationed in the state cities along Shandong East Road are limited, and they may not dare to come unless they can suddenly gather together. So at least for now, the Song army should be safe. But despite thinking so, Yang Yan still didn't dare to be careless, and still sent a few groups of scouts, and at the same time asked Wei Chang to release Xiaobai to patrol the air every other hour.

At this moment, the great eagle that was now flying in the air suddenly swooped down, made several hovering flights in succession, and let out a rapid and sharp eagle chirp. Wei Chang's face changed, and he hurriedly ran to Yang Yan's side and said, "Yang Yan, Xiaobai has discovered the enemy army. It's just to the west. ”

Cao Xun, Gao Zhen, Yu Gongliang, Xin Qiji, and Wang Shilong, who heard Wei Chang speak, immediately surrounded them, and they all knew what it meant to find Jin Jun at this time? Yang Yan said calmly: "Don't panic, everyone, there should be a spy back immediately to report the specific situation." Maybe it was the Jin army passing by here, but I don't know. In fact, the last sentence was purely to comfort everyone, even Yang Yan himself didn't believe that Jin Jun was passing by by by coincidence.

At this time, I saw a spy running into the forest, came to Yang Yan, turned over and dismounted, and said: "Report to Yang Tong, there is a group of Jin troops in the west, about four or five thousand people, all cavalry are coming towards us." ”

Suddenly, a white light flashed in the sky, and everyone's face turned white with the light, and then there was a dull thunder in their ears, and a heavy rain was coming.

But everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's only four or five thousand, nothing to be afraid of." ”

At this time, Yang Yan asked: "Have you seen clearly, what kind of cavalry is the Jin Army?" Hearing Yang Yan ask, other people's hearts were raised, "What if it's Tiefutu?" If it's 5,000 iron floats, can the conscription army resist it? ”

Fortunately, the spies' words made everyone feel relieved again: "The villain can see it clearly, please Chu Chu, the Jin army is a light cavalry army." There is no iron float map. ”

Another white light flashed, illuminating half of Yang Yan's face, looking at the Song army standing neatly in front of him, Yang Yan said in a deep voice: "We have all worked hard to get here. As soon as the receiving fleet comes, we can return to Dasong immediately. But the Jin army has chased here, and now we have two ways to choose, one is to flee immediately, how far to run, whether we can return to the Great Song Dynasty in the future, but we are left to fate; The second is to fight to the death with the Jin army here, repel the Jin army, and continue to wait for the receiving fleet. You choose for yourselves, and if you want to escape, I will not stop you. And I, choose the second way. ”

"Let's take the second path. Fight to the death with the Jin army. ”

"Even if we die, we will be with Yang Tong."

"We are all under the command of Yang, and we will stay and defeat the Jin army."

Yu Gongliang looked at the passionate soldiers and suddenly thought: The so-called famous generals must be able to live with the ability of the soldiers to serve with their dead force, maybe this is what it means. If he can really not die this time, Yang Yan will definitely become the new famous general of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Well, if you don't disappoint me." Even in the rumbling thunder, Yang Yan's voice could still be heard clearly by everyone: "Then we will work together to kill the Jin army." ”

"Work together to kill the Jin army."
