Chapter 31 Blocked, just one step away
The fighting soon turned into a one-sided massacre. The Jin soldiers were completely defeated, countless people were killed and captured, and the Jin soldiers suffered heavy losses.
Wushu couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to flee westward along the south bank of the Yangtze River in embarrassment. Han Shizhong chased and intercepted along the north bank. middle.
Huangtiandang is a large bay between Jiankang and Zhenjiang. It is more than 80 miles away from Zhenjiang, and the inside is more than 30 miles in length and width.
Seeing the last golden soldier entering Huang Tiandang through this only entrance, Han Shizhong knew he was done.
He ordered the soldiers to gather all the giant ships and block the entrances and exits. This was equivalent to putting a seal on Huang Tiandang, who had packed a hundred thousand golden soldiers, and sealed the golden man inside.
In Han Shizhong's view, Wushu is now a fish on the chopping board, only steamed or braised in brown sauce.
Wu Shu struggled many times to break the seal, but every time he was hit badly.It was late spring and early summer, and Wushu had been sleepy for more than 20 days. He couldn't stand mosquito bites, steaming in the sun, and retting of feces excreted by more than 100,000 people. He decided to take action—negotiation.
In his view, this was the only action that gave him a chance of survival.
He sent an envoy to see Han Shizhong, hoping that the commander-in-chief of the Song Army would be generous and let him go.The performance of Wushu is really speechless.But other than that, Wu Shu seems to have no choice.He even climbed onto the bow himself, and kept asking Han Shizhong to come out and talk, "I am very sorry to pray."
Han Shizhong "rewarded like a ring, and when he passed the wine in the golden bottle he wore to show it", he stood on the bow and said loudly: "Give back my two palaces to the emperor and restore our country's territory, so that you can be spared." Palace, restore our territory, then we can complete it.”)
How could Wushu be in charge of this matter?I was at a loss for words.
The talks broke down.
Afterwards, Wushu asked Han Shizhong to come out for a chat many times. If he wanted to talk, just chat. However, he was short-circuited and forgot his identity as a "loser" and kept surrendering to the "winner" Han Shizhong. , This is courting death!
Han Shizhong didn't say a word, he bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot it with a "whoosh", Wushu was so frightened that he rolled and fell into the cabin. Said: "The Nanmanzi is as flexible as we are riding a horse. What can we do?" Indeed, Han Shizhong "rides the wind and makes the tent, travels like flying" at sea. For him, the game has just begun.
Bojin Taiyi and Wushu were trapped in Huang Tiandang for forty-eight days.
The poem "Huang Tiandang Nostalgic for the Past" written by Zhao Yi of the Qing Dynasty said:
Wushu put up a list and offered rewards everywhere.
Finally, the traitor appeared.If it weren't for the timely appearance of this traitor, the history of Song Jin would definitely be rewritten.
The traitor offered advice to the Jin man and said: "The south of Huangtiandang is the old stork's mouth. There is an old river channel in the old stork's mouth. The name of the old river channel is Lumen River. Although it is full of mud and impassable, it is now the spring and summer flood season. The river is rising, and if a large canal can be dug along the old river course, it can reach the Qinhuai River, then go out of the Yangtze River, pass Han Shizhong and reach his upper reaches."
God, you are my lucky star!Wu Shu jumped three feet high and jumped up happily.
At night, one hundred thousand gold soldiers worked together, and before dawn, they dug through the canal for more than 20 miles.
When Han Shizhong noticed something, the golden men had already filed out from Huang Tiandang and fled towards Jiankang Fang.
Han Shizhong hurriedly followed and pursued.
Arriving outside Jiankang City, Wushu was chased in a hurry, and in a rage, he did three things:
1. "Punishment White Horse", ordered people to find a snow-white and hairless BMW, and cut its throat to bleed on the boat.
2. "Pick out the heart of a woman", select a young and beautiful woman from among the military prostitutes, cut open her belly, and take her heart (such a poor woman, such a bloody scene).
3. "Self-cutting his forehead", cut a long cut on his own forehead, and then tear off the skin on his forehead to cover his eyes (ruthless man! Not only cruel to others, but also cruel to himself).
The purpose of doing these three things is to sacrifice to heaven—to pray for God to bless you to win the battle and escape disaster.
But Wu Shu seemed to have received the promise of the gods, and his courage increased greatly. He sent the boat out of the river, filled it with sulfur and flint, and rammed it desperately towards Han Shizhong's big boat.
Faced with Jinren's desperate style of play, Han Shizhong was a little helpless.
On this day, "the sky is calm and the sky is sunny", when the boats full of inflammable and explosive materials approached the big ship of the Song army, the Jin people burst into rockets, and there was a loud explosion, the flames were everywhere, and people shouted in chaos. , the horse neighed in shock, those who were burned and fell into the river were invincible.
Looking at the middle of the river from a distance, the fire boats cover the river and go down.The Jinren drummed their drums and pursued them with light boats.Han Shizhong had no choice but to retreat to Guabu (now southeast of Liuhe, Jiangsu), abandoned his boat and landed, and withdrew to Zhenjiang.
Although this battle ended with Han Shizhong's defeat, he suppressed the main force of the 100,000 Jin soldiers with 8,000 men for more than 40 days, fully demonstrating the fighting spirit of the Southern Song Dynasty people.
Wu Shu fled into Jiankang City, thank God, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought that as long as he stayed away from water battles, he would not be in any danger with his sharp sword, but he didn't expect that what awaited him would be another disaster.
