Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 472: Armored Cavalry Breaks Through the Snowy Chaos

The three thousand Luzhou soldiers behind the Jingnan Army were also cheering for the victory of the Jingnan Army, but several of the main generals were not so excited. Instead, they looked at Yang Chun in the center of the formation with complicated eyes.

Yang Chun naturally felt these gazes and quickly became very uneasy.

These 3,000 Luzhou troops are already considered remnants, but there is still a gap between remnants and remnants.

Some of the remnants were really beaten to pieces, and the mess of people were gathered together and lived a begging life under a strong or cowardly leader.

Some of the remnants maintained their basic structure, retained officers at all levels, and even retained some morale, but due to heavy casualties, they had to lie dormant temporarily.

The Luzhou army that did not flee in all directions after the defeat in Lianghuai naturally belonged to the latter.

Therefore, when facing certain things, the Luzhou army, especially the middle and low-level officers, had different ideas from ordinary Song army.

To put it bluntly, for these 3,000 remnants of the Luzhou army, I have courage and ambition, so why should I follow you, Yang Chun, and eat water grass in Chaohu Lake? Isn't it because you promised that one day you would counterattack and lead the army to kill the Jin thieves?
However, the decisive battle has begun, and all the famous generals are fighting hard on the battlefield. Several officers at the commander-in-chief level have been killed in the battle. But the Luzhou army, led by you, Yang Chun, is like a coward, following behind the Jingnan army to pick up some leftovers. How the hell is this reasonable?

"General Xin has ordered the Luzhou army to pay attention to the formation! Don't fall behind!" The military envoy who came to deliver the order came to Fan Shanshuo, the vanguard of the Luzhou army, and said loudly.

The fat on Fan Shanshuo's face trembled as he grabbed the military envoy's hand and said, "Brother, don't General Xin or General Liu have any orders for us to join the war?"

The military envoy shook his head: "No."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Fan Shanshuo's face. "Are our three thousand soldiers and horses all we can do now, just watch on the battlefield of such a great battle?"

The military envoy sneered and was about to turn around to leave when he felt a sudden tightening on his arm. He turned around and saw Fan Shanshuo with his eyes wide open: "What are you laughing at?"

The military envoy was unfazed. He spoke proudly under the angry gazes of several surrounding generals, "The Luzhou army and our Jingnan army are only a combined force. Although you, Governor Yang, obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, you can still act on your own. Without military orders, wouldn't you have demanded battle?! What kind of hero are you pretending to be?!"

Fan Shanshuo was furious, but he immediately lost his temper and let go of his big hand.

The military envoy sneered again, turned his horse and took two steps, then turned back and shouted to Fan Shanshuo, "General Fan! If you want others to respect you, you must first respect yourself and do something great that will live up to your reputation!"

After saying this, the military envoy rushed away.

Fan Shanshuo slammed his palm hard and said to the surrounding generals, "No, I have to go find the prefect. Zhou Er, you will be the vanguard for now!"

As he spoke, Fan Shanshuo rode his particularly huge warhorse towards the central army.

After a while, he saw Yang Chun and immediately rolled off his horse, knelt down and hugged Yang Chun's horse legs: "Zhizhou! Let's fight! Even if we can't send all the troops to fight the bandits, we should at least send some soldiers to join the battle. We can't just sit back and watch the troops fight, right?!
Even if we are shameless and don't want rewards, this battle will be recorded in the history books. If the Luzhou army is defeated because of fear of fighting, and the two Huai regions are no longer under the state, how will the history books write about the prefect? This will be a thousand-year infamy! "

After saying this, Fan Shanshuo burst into howling, causing several generals beside Yang Chun to stop their horses and come to see.

However, these generals were not looking at Fan Shanshuo, but at Yang Chun, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Even though he was in the middle of a large army, and was the commander of a large group, Yang Chun still felt a little embarrassed. Under the gazes of many people, he could only say with difficulty: "Fatty Fan, don't you know my good intentions?"

Upon hearing this, Fan Shanshuo howled even more: "The governor is worried that after our defeat, we will lose our fighting strength and suffer heavy casualties. But has the governor ever considered that if we lose this battle, the Luzhou army will not suffer any casualties at all, but will definitely be annihilated!"

Yang Chunqiang laughed and said, "Now that the Jingnan Army has defeated the Wuping Army, how can we lose this battle? You..."

"Zhizhou!" Fan Shanshuo interrupted Yang Chun loudly: "War is a dangerous time! War is a dangerous time! Who can tell who will win or lose before the last moment? We were on the verge of a great victory, but we were defeated inexplicably. Zhizhou has been in the army for many years, hasn't he seen this before?

And if the armies are really defeated, can our Luzhou army really turn the tide?"

Yang Chun took a deep breath and said, "Fat Fan, what do you mean?"

"No matter where we go, no matter what, we must join the war." Fan Shanshuo stood up, wiped his face and said seriously, "Anywhere is fine, as long as we kill the Jin bandits, but the prefect must make a decision quickly! Join the war quickly!"

"You...you all think so?" Yang Chun asked several surrounding generals. After receiving accurate answers, he didn't show it on his face, but he was terrified in his heart. He could only turn around and look at one person: "Captain He, I'm confused. What can you teach me?"

He Boqiu's fingers gently stroked the copper mace hanging on the horse. To be honest, he had originally planned to kidnap the military leader and forcefully order an attack if persuasion failed.

As the chief logistics officer of the Jingnan Army, He Boqiu had come into contact with the Luzhou Army many times because he had to transport supplies and food. Many of his confidants had become familiar with the generals of the Luzhou Army and had already started to connect and persuade them.

However, He Boqiu did not expect that before he even started the battle, Yang Chun's trusted general Fan Shanshuo could no longer hold back and volunteered to fight.

It saves a lot of trouble.

"If Yang Zhizhou wants to do something, he should send an envoy to ask the commander-in-chief to fight and overthrow the Jin army camp!"

He Boqiu didn't waste any words. He pointed directly to the Jin army's Guishan camp two or three miles away, and then said to Yang Chun in a serious tone: "Yang Zhizhou, the main force of the Jin bandits are fighting on the periphery. As a member of the Jingnan Army, if I let the Luzhou army go to fight the Jin army, it would inevitably be suspected of harming my neighbors.

But at this time, the Jin bandits' camp is filled with soldiers and civilians. If Yang Zhizhou still doesn't dare to attack, then he can't blame the world for mocking him."

Yang Chun's face paled, then flushed, as if his blood was boiling. He was about to issue an order immediately. However, He Boqiu stopped him again and said, "Yang Zhizhou, the Jin bandits' camp must have gold, silk, treasures, and food supplies. These will be distributed according to merit after the battle. The women who were captured in the camp must not be harmed, otherwise you can't blame the commander-in-chief for settling the accounts after the battle!"

This matter is very important, because according to the unreliable military and political capabilities of the Song State, no one can say for sure how much the reward will be, and when the time comes, the spoils will have to be seized to reward the soldiers.

Yang Chun nodded heavily, and then asked the military envoy to inform Xin Qiji that the Luzhou army would immediately join the battle.

A moment later, the Luzhou army turned and headed towards the Jin army's Guishan camp.

Of course, there were people left behind in the Jin army camp. Although they were all signed soldiers, their number was as high as 20,000. Among them, more than 10,000 signed soldiers were recruited from Shandong in the Central Plains. They were not Yang Chun's fellow townsmen from Lianghuai. Their combat effectiveness was comparable to that of ordinary Song troops.

Not to mention that there is the veteran general Wanyan Bendu in charge of the camp, and the camp is well-built and well-regulated, which makes it a tough nut to crack.

However, when Wanyan Ben, who was standing on the watchtower, saw the Luzhou army turning around and attacking, he felt completely unsure.

On this kind of battlefield, any army that wants to take the initiative to do something should not be underestimated. Even if they are defeated, who knows if they have become a mourning army?
The key point is that the elite field troops in the camp had already gone out to fight, so Wanyan Bendu only had two Mouke cavalry guards under his command, and had no way to take the initiative to attack, and could only passively defend.

This situation of losing the initiative on the battlefield made this veteran who had experienced the wars to destroy Liao and Song very uncomfortable.

Wanyan Bendu looked towards the east, sighed deeply, and muttered to himself, "It seems that the outcome will depend on your Majesty's side."

Wanyan Liang, who was besieging Yu Yunwen, was also having a headache at this time.

At this time, the Huaixi army led by Yu Yunwen was actually at a disadvantage, but the Jin army just couldn't break in.

Li Ziyuan's troops in the front and Dai Gao's troops in the rear were completely defeated. If Zhang Xiaoyi had not led two thousand soldiers to fight Pucha Shijie desperately, the Huaixi army would have been caught in a situation of being attacked from both sides.

In fact, the 3,000 soldiers of the Huaixi army were also somewhat shaky. However, when Wanyan Liang personally led the army to attack, the Huaixi army held on and even organized the front and rear armies that had fled back to the formation to form a second line of defense.

Both sides are almost at a stage where neither can do anything to the other.

At this critical moment, reinforcements from the Song and Jin sides arrived almost at the same time.

On the Song side, the two veteran generals Liu Qi and Li Xianzhong organized a thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry and personally led the troops towards the center of the battlefield.

On the Jin side, Lou Xue, the second general of the Weisheng Army, led 26 Moukes, who were also the last mobile force of the Weisheng Army, to the battlefield and encountered the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty head-on.

The two sides didn't even have time to form their battle array and immediately started fighting on the spot.

The two battlefields were only a few hundred steps apart, and the melee immediately spread over.

If this continues, it is hard to say what the outcome of the chaos will be.

But what Lou Xue brought was not only well-rested reinforcements, but also well-rested war horses.

Wanyan Liang quickly gave orders, asking Hezha Meng'an and the first Meng'an of the Weisheng Army to replace their exhausted horses, and then left some soldiers to tie down the Huaixi army. Wanyan Liang led a thousand cavalry to encircle the Song army reinforcements.

When the Jin army saw the Jinwu flag coming first, they were all encouraged and launched a fierce attack.

Unfortunately, Liu Qi and Li Xianzhong, two long-famous generals, were defeated in one blow.

Under the pincer attack of more than 3,000 elite armored cavalry, the Song army, which had just experienced a great battle and was forcibly reorganized, could not hold on and was defeated and dispersed. Among them, hundreds of soldiers with intact organization came to the Huaixi army formation to rest and recuperate under the leadership of Liu Qi and Li Xianzhong.

When Yu Yunwen met the two men, they looked at each other in silence.

Thinking back to the heroic words spoken when we set out on the expedition, and then looking at the miserable situation today, it really makes one feel both amused and helpless.

But now that things have come to this, there is no other way except to fight to the death.

After various counter-attacks and the division of troops to support the battle, the battle situation has become clear.

After the Jingnan Army and the Ezhou Army joined forces to defeat the Wuping Army, they drove out the defeated troops and wiped out the Weisheng Army.

Wanyan Liang led all the mobile troops of the Jin army to besiege the Huaixi army.

Both sides are using their strength to attack the weak, picking on the weak, and wanting to gain a strategic advantage by defeating the enemy's weakest part, thereby undermining the enemy's morale.

Now it depends on which side can hold on to the end.

Da Huaizhong was covered in blood. He waved and called Lou Xue over: "Come with me, let's go see His Majesty."

Lou Xue was also out of breath. He changed a warhorse and followed Da Huaizhong to see Wanyan Liang.

"Lou Xue?" Wanyan Liang patted the brave general on the shoulder. "Hello, you're doing well. Yite Nian and his son are loyal ministers, and you are even more loyal."

As he spoke, Wanyan Liang addressed Wanyan Wangxiang, who stood solemnly beside him, "You are all young men, the best of the next generation. You will surely be granted titles of nobility and become prime ministers in the future."

This was a promise of a future. Although Wanyan Wangxiang was excited, he was still able to maintain his composure. However, Lou Xue knelt down and kowtowed heavily, and was so moved that tears came out of his eyes.

"I will certainly die for your majesty!"

Wanyan Liang said sternly, "I need your courage, but I don't need you to die. Our relationship as king and subject should last forever. Now, don't act like a child. Mount your horse! Follow me to defeat the Song dogs before us! So that we can seize our future wealth and glory!"

Lou Xue wiped his tears, nodded heavily, and then he jumped on his horse, raised his spear, and shouted: "Follow Your Majesty! Kill the Song dogs! Seize the wealth and honor!"

"Follow Your Majesty! Kill the Song dogs! Seize the wealth and honor!"

With the Jinwu banner as the core, cheers gradually spread. The seventy Moukes of the Jin army gathered on this battlefield were already exhausted, and many of them had suffered heavy casualties. Now, there were only about five thousand combat-capable cavalry including Pucha Shijie. When they heard Wanyan Liang's personal promise, they all cheered loudly, and their morale rose accordingly.

Wanyan Liang also mounted his warhorse and was about to give an order when he felt a chill on his forehead. He stretched out his hand and a snowflake fell into his palm.

"Snowing……"

"It's snowing..." Yu Yunwen muttered to himself in the Huaixi army formation.

"Cough, cough, cough." Liu Qi covered his mouth and coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. After a moment, he stopped. Hiding a barely noticeable trace of blood in his palm, he took a few deep breaths, raised his glass of ice-cold medicinal wine and took a few swigs. Finally, he said, "Now that the battle has reached this point, does Minister Yu have any other explanation?"

Yu Yunwen shook his head: "You two veterans have already done this, what else can I do? All I can do is to fight to the end. If things don't go well, there is only death."

Li Xianzhong removed his shoulder pads and bandaged the wound on the side of his neck. A heavy arrow had just struck him at close range, piercing his neck. The sharp tip of the arrow had sliced through his neck, nearly killing him. Upon hearing this, he chuckled miserably and said, "Who could have imagined that, at this point, we'd be in such dire straits, relying solely on Liu Dalang to decide the outcome of this battle?"

Liu Qi shook his head and smiled, "There's nothing we can do about it. When I was fighting in Fuping, and you were leaving the Western Bandits and returning to Song, even after your defeat, you remained undeterred. It was simply because you were young and strong, with a long future ahead of you. Now, you and I are both old, and in the end, the affairs of the world are for the young to do."

As he spoke, a general came hurriedly.

Liu Qi coughed a few more times, pointed at the general and said, "The young man is here."

Shi Jun had no idea what the two veterans were saying about him, and he didn't have time to dwell on anything else. He immediately bowed and said, "Prime Minister Yu, Commander Liu, and Chief Li, the Jin thieves are about to attack!"

Yu Yunwen said sternly, "I still don't know military strategy, and these two veterans don't know the situation of the Huaixi army. Everything is up to you!"

He thought Shi Jun was asking for some power from him.

Shi Jun shook his head when he heard this: "Husband, what I mean is that the gold master Wanyan Liang is about to attack us, this is a good opportunity!" "Then do it!" Yu Yunwen said firmly.

Shi Jun still shook his head and said sincerely, "Prince Yu, although the Gold Lord will come, he won't be the vanguard. If he can stop the Jin thieves, it's fine. If not, the Gold Lord will definitely enter the battle as the second vanguard after the vanguard breaks through the formation..."

Yu Yunwen instantly understood what Shi Jun said. He waved his hand and interrupted him. The kind expression on his big face disappeared, and was filled with determination: "I know what you mean. I am here, and my flag is here. Even if I die, I will not move it an inch! You must lead the army quickly and do not delay!"

"Yes!" Shi Jun agreed loudly, turned his horse back, and after galloping a few steps, he reined in his horse again: "Prime Minister Yu, as long as my banner remains standing, the main force of the Jin bandits will never reach you!"

As he spoke, Shi Jun walked towards his own flag in the falling snow.

Wanyan Wangxiang was also running back and forth in the snow.

Wanyan Liang entrusted the front army to him and let him choose the direction of attack.

This made Wanyan Wangxiang feel that he had a heavy responsibility and became more excited.

After several attempts in front of the Song army's line, he finally found out the Song army's defensive weaknesses.

This was not a shortcoming that Shi Jun deliberately exposed. In fact, after marching, fighting, and accepting many defeated soldiers, the phalanx had become somewhat chaotic. It was normal to reveal some flaws in some places due to problems with generals or soldiers.

To be precise, this flaw was actually the place where Liu Qi and Li Xianzhong led the defeated troops to retreat into the main formation. Some soldiers were reorganized and left here for defense.

Although Shi Jun could not be sure of the main attack direction of the Jin army, he was certain that after breaking through the formation, the Jin army would definitely head straight for his flag, so he had the opportunity to prepare in advance.

After determining the main attack position, Wanyan Wangxiang assembled ten Mouke armored cavalry and formed the most common cone formation of that era. The armored cavalry at the front each held a long weapon, while the Jin army in the middle and on the flanks drew their bows and arrows.

This is also the cavalry formation with the strongest ability to break formations.

After hesitating twice in front of the Song army's formation, the Jin army shouted in unison and charged towards the Song army's formation.

The Song army had already discovered the unusual movements of the Jin army, and hundreds of Song soldiers in the central support rushed here, but all this took time.

"Swords and shields retreat, spears forward, archers fire!" A loud-voiced commander of the Song army on the battlefield quickly shouted the order.

Previously, in order to deal with the mounted archers of the Jin cavalry, most of the soldiers in front of the formation were just sword and shield soldiers. However, when dealing with the armored cavalry charging into the formation, the sword and shield soldiers were completely powerless.

Fortunately, Shi Jun led his troops strictly. Although the spearmen and sword and shield soldiers were busy, they did not panic. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the crossbowmen fired a volley and shot the Jin army's armored cavalry to the ground, more than 300 spearmen lined up in six rows, leaned the butt ends of their spears into the slightly moist soil, and stared nervously at the front.

According to past practice, once the Song army's spear formation was formed, the Jin army's offensive would stop and become a feint attack.

However, this time it was different. After dozens of Jin soldiers were shot down, they did not stop, but instead increased the speed of their horses.

"Kill!" Wanyan Wangxiang personally charged at the front of the column, his armor and horse riddled with arrows, but he paid no heed. Like a wounded tiger, he lunged at the Song army's line.

The Song army commander was both worried and happy when he saw this. He was worried that his subordinates would suffer heavy casualties once the Jin army started their reckless attack; but he was happy that the opposing Jin general was a fool who actually used cavalry to ram the spear formation. As long as the Song army could survive the casualties caused by the first moment of the attack and stop the Jin army's horses, those 1,000 Jin cavalry would be like fish on the chopping board.

After losing a thousand cavalrymen, there is no way the Jin army can continue to fight!

Wanyan Wangxiang is certainly not a fool.

When the Song and Jin armies were only thirty steps apart, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the charging Jin army, and fell into the Song army formation. The spearmen wearing leather armor wailed, and there were at least two hundred casualties in a short time. The spear formation instantly became disorganized.

The commander of the Song army looked at the scene in amazement.

You have to know that archery on horseback and archery on foot are two completely different things. If the archer who can shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred paces away is one in a hundred in the army, then the expert in archery on horseback is one in a hundred among the archers.

When cavalrymen were shooting from horseback, whether it was a projectile or a close-range shot, they would just run away, never caring whether they hit the target or not. The reason was that this thing had no accuracy at all.

It's okay when the armored cavalry forms a circle and shoots in a circle, but if they shoot randomly during a charge, the accidental injuries to friendly forces alone are enough to cause the cavalry a lot of trouble.

However, the Jin army not only fired arrows during the charge, but also did so with such ruthlessness. At least four hundred arrows were fired simultaneously, which was simply not the rain of arrows that the armored cavalry with bows on the flanks could create.

The Jin army in the front half of the entire cone formation were drawing their bows and shooting arrows.

The Jin army general was at the front of the formation. Wasn't he afraid of being shot into a hedgehog by the rain of arrows?

However, the commander of the Song army had no time to think about it. The next second, the armored cavalry of the Jin army had already smashed into the gap in the spear formation. Not only did the already scattered spear formation suffer a devastating blow, but the sword and shield soldiers who were holding up shields to defend behind the spear formation were also affected. Countless people were trampled into mud by the war horses, and the commander of the Song army who was commanding the battle died on the spot.

The Jin army took advantage of the situation and hurled arrows like crazy, further widening the gap. The leader Wanyan Wangxiang was not afraid of advancing alone, and actually led more than 200 cavalrymen to rush into the formation of the Shenbi crossbowmen.

Most of the crossbowmen were still stringing their weapons, never expecting the Jin cavalry to break through the spear formation in just a few moments. Coupled with the death of their officers, the crossbowmen, who were not in a dense formation to begin with, were easily broken through by Wanyan Wangxiang.

"The time to achieve great things is now!" Seeing the armored cavalry running around and slaughtering the Song army like chickens and dogs, Wanyan Wangxiang suddenly felt heroic and raised his weapon and shouted to his subordinates.

Because he knew that the retreat of the 200 crossbowmen meant that the Jin army had broken through the hard shell of the Song army's formation and was about to taste the delicious flesh inside.

"Making great achievements!"

“Returning home in glory!”

"kill!"

The Jin army rushed into the Song army's formation and shouted together, and with the sound of killing shaking the sky, they killed towards Shi Jun who was commanding the battle.

Of course, there were naturally generals in the Song army who did not want the Jin army to achieve success.

The Song army's outer retreat was getting larger and larger, gradually turning into an avalanche. However, at this moment, a large flag with the word "Liu" approached rapidly and quickly stabilized the front line.

Many spearmen and sword and shield soldiers who had fled to the two wings simply turned back and fought with the Jin army's armored cavalry, as if the flag itself was a symbol of courage.

There were only 300 soldiers left at Liu Qi's side. However, facing the enemy he had fought for his entire life, this remnant of the old era did not retreat, but stepped forward in person to try to plug the gap in the defense.

Under the leadership of Liu Qi, the Huaidong soldiers, regardless of their fatigue, rushed to attack the Jin cavalry, stabbing the knights from above and chopping the horses' legs from below. For a moment, they seemed to be able to cut the Jin army in half.

If the attack was launched only by Wanyan Wangxiang and his ten men, perhaps Liu Qi could have directly swallowed up the Jin army.

But when has Wanyan Liang ever disappointed his subordinates?

Accompanied by a hail of arrows, the cries of battle and the clatter of horse hooves resounded once more. Under the guidance of the Jinwu Banner, over a thousand mixed cavalrymen, including Hezhameng'an and armored cavalry, surged forward, following the gap opened by Wanyan Wangxiang and crashing fiercely into the Song army formation.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The Jin army's armored cavalrymen who were besieging the Song army were greatly encouraged and launched fierce attacks from all directions, especially Pucha Shijie in the rear. His elite cavalrymen's horses had long been exhausted, so they simply dismounted and attacked Yu Yunwen's formation from the east.

The Song army's defensive formation was in crisis across the board.

"Whoever captures and kills the enemy general will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted ten thousand households!" Wanyan Liang knew that this was the most critical moment. While shouting loudly to boost morale, he walked straight towards his horse and rushed towards Liu Qi.

Da Huaizhong guarded Wanyan Liang's side, holding a big knife and slashing left and right, like Moses splitting the sea, dividing the Song army along the way into two halves. Although there were brave warriors in the Song army who relied on their courage to advance to meet the enemy, none of them could match them.

Liu Qi, holding a long sword, had just knocked a Jin army warhorse to the ground when he heard a thunderous roar.

"Liu Qi!" Thirty steps away, Wanyan Liang pulled the reins hard, his horse rearing up. He leaned sideways, drew his bow, and pointed an arrow directly at Liu Qi's chest. "This is revenge for the arrow you shot at my uncle in Shunchang. Now I'm returning it to you!"

The bow is like a full moon, and the arrow flies like a shooting star.

If Liu Qi were still in his prime, this arrow would have been easy to dodge, after all, Wanyan Liang's lines were too long. However, Liu Qi was already old, and just as he was about to dodge sideways, a cough came over him, and his movement was halted. The heavy arrow pierced his armor and penetrated Liu Qi's right chest.

Liu Qi leaned on his sword to steady his body, but all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away with the arrow. After staggering back a few steps, his eyes went dark and he fell backwards.

Although Liu Qi was supported by his personal guards and did not fall to the ground, it was a fact that he had lost his ability to command in front of everyone, and his life or death was unknown.

The morale of the Song army collapsed instantly. Except for the Huaidong armored soldiers beside Liu Qi who continued to fight, the Song soldiers on the periphery abandoned their troops and fled. The Jin army's armored cavalry cut down the enemy at will, and the gap in the defense line became larger and larger.

Wanyan Wangxiang looked back and saw this scene. He no longer cared about the obstruction of the Song army soldiers and drove his horse to attack Shi Jun.

Shi Jun and the more than 400 personal guards around him were also the strategic fulcrum of the Song army's front line. As long as they were broken, the front of the central army arranged by Yu Yunwen would be completely destroyed.

"Form a battle array! Meet the enemy!" Shi Jun certainly wouldn't back down at this moment. He sat upright on his horse and shouted, "Let the Jin thieves never return!"

"Kill!" Shi Jun's personal guards were carefully selected, and many of them were old friends who followed Shi Jun in retreating from Liang County all the way across the Yangtze River.

They all had a deep hatred for the Jin army and would not be demoralized by the defeat of their allies. As soon as Shi Jun gave the order, these armored soldiers each drew their swords and spears and faced the Jin cavalry from a distance.

"Charge in! Charge in!" Wanyan Wangxiang accelerated his horse to the maximum speed and, together with two hundred armored cavalrymen, rushed into the small formation of the Song army.

A gap was instantly created in the Song army's formation. Wanyan Wangxiang and several personal guards broke through the gap, ignoring the Song army surrounding them from behind, and pointed their spears at Shi Jun.

At the moment of the battle, Shi Jun did not focus all his attention on Wanyan Wangxiang, but looked at the Jinwu flag dozens of steps away from afar.

Seeing that the enemy had stopped advancing, Shi Jun felt relieved and personally went to meet Wanyan Wangxiang with two swords.

"Wanyan boy, why don't you surrender!" Shi Jun shouted loudly, blocking the incoming spear with his left hand and stabbing Wanyan Wangxiang's throat with his right hand.

"A defeated general dares to talk about bravery?" Wanyan Wangxiang ducked his head, circled the spear around his waist, and smashed the butt of the spear hard into Shi Jun's back.

Shi Jun crossed his two swords and held the butt of the gun. He was filled with hatred when he heard this.

The two of them were old grudges. Liang County, which Shi Jun was guarding, was attacked and broken by Weizhen Army. It was also a narrow road for the two of them to meet each other at this time.

Shi Jun kept working, and even more unwilling to lose, he laughed at me, "Then how did you, a dog slave, get forced to charge into battle by a defeated general?!"

Wanyan Wangxiang sneered, waved his spear to force back several Song soldiers who came forward to besiege him, and went straight for Shi Jun again.

Wanyan Wangxiang simply disdained verbal disputes.

He knew in his heart that although he and Shi Jun seemed evenly matched at the moment, the Jin Dynasty's military law of beheading the enemy was not to be ignored. As long as he continued to fight, his subordinates would definitely rush to the flag regardless of life or death.

Even if Shi Jun had the courage of King Xiang, he would still be unable to withstand the siege from all sides!
Shi Jun was well aware of this, but he didn't care at all.

To be precise, this is exactly what Shi Jun had in mind!
The more troops that come to besiege Shi Jun, the better. Only in this way will the ambush troops have a chance to kill Wanyan Liang.

This is also the fastest way to end this battle!
It was almost dark. If the battle was not over by then, the Song army, without its organization, would be no match for the Jin army in the wilderness. A single charge from the Jin army would likely send the Song army fleeing in defeat.

As for his own life and death, Shi Jun didn't think much about it.

If you're the bait, you have to be prepared to be swallowed. Aren't there enough famous teachers and generals who died today? If you can win, why would Shi Jun care about his life?

"Come!" Seeing the other two Jin army Moukes also surrounding him, Shi Jun brandished his two swords and fought with Wanyan Wangxiang again: "Let's put an end to the revenge of Liang County today!"

The sky was dark and snow was falling heavily. The cold wind blew the salt-like snowflakes onto Shi Jun's face. The sparks from the clashing swords and guns mixed with the splashing blood, exuding a strange beauty.

Amidst the wild cheers and fierce battle, Shi Jun finally regained the feeling of being alive.

After the Battle of Liang County, Shi Jun was actually dead, and what was left was just a shell.

At this moment, this general who had been defeated time and again returned to the Jin army and faced the crisis alone again. He suddenly realized that today's matter, he could either live again or return this body to the elders and comrades who died unjustly in Liang County.

There is no other way!

Shi Jun, covered in blood, knocked down five Jin soldiers in succession, protecting his command banner. He opened his mouth wide and roared at the Jin army that kept coming:
"Come on! Gold thief! Come on!"
