Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 704 Song Jiang Goes Berserk [2 Updates]

"Wa hahaha--"

Jin Wuzhu stood on his horse outside the city, watching wave after wave of Jin soldiers pour into the city gates, and laughed heartily to the sky:
"The Southern Barbarians are nothing special. I should have attacked them first!"

Temujin said with envy, jealousy, and hatred, "Yes, Your Highness! With the Southern Barbarian Emperor dead, the Central Plains will be within our grasp!"

Jin Wuzhu was becoming increasingly smug when suddenly a thunderous battle cry came from the rear army!
Ok?
Jin Wuzhu had a bad feeling, and sure enough, a servant immediately came to report:
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Qi army is attacking!"

"Qi army?"

Jin Wuzhu was taken aback: "Isn't the King of Qi in the Dali Kingdom?"

"Your Highness, this humble general will go and take a look!"

Jin Wuzhu's two marshals, He Bida and Dou Bili, volunteered to lead their troops to the rear army.

When He Bida and Dou Bili arrived at the rear, they saw tens of thousands of Qi troops charging towards them like tigers descending the mountain, an unstoppable force!
Therefore, the rear guard of the Jin army had fallen into chaos...

Not the main force of the Qi army!

He Bida and Dou Bili exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, none of the Qi army's renowned generals were there!
There was only a young general on a white horse, in white robes, silver armor, and with a silver spear. He was an unfamiliar face, so we captured him and presented him to the Fourth Prince!
"kill--"

Hebida and Doubil simultaneously roared and charged forward to fight!

Hebida specifically sought out the young general on the white horse with the silver spear:

"Little Southern Barbarian, where are your brothers?"

The young general, riding a white horse and wielding a silver spear, sneered: "Old Jin, have you ever heard of 'Featherless Arrow' Zhang Qing?"

He Bida laughed heartily: "Never heard of them! I've only heard of Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong..."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Qing made his move in zero frames, and a copper coin swiftly pierced He Bida's throat!

"Well--"

He Bida reached out and touched his neck in disbelief, and instinctively pulled out the copper coin.

"puff--"

Blood gushed out immediately!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Qing spurred his horse forward and beheaded He Bida with a single spear thrust!
He was appointed General of Dongchang Prefecture by Cai Fu. Although he was the first among his fellow disciples to take charge independently, he was extremely envious when he saw his fellow disciples following Cai Fu to fight on all fronts.

He finally seized this opportunity. His fellow disciples were all in the Dali Kingdom, and it was his turn to wreak havoc!
Dou Bili was confronted by a bearded general with a round face, big ears, a big mouth, and thick lips:
"State your name, or I will not kill nameless ghosts!"

The general swung his golden-tipped axe and chopped Dou Bili off his horse with one blow:

"'Vanguard' Suo Chao is here!"

Suo Chao was the commander-in-chief of Dongping Prefecture. Upon receiving Ma Ling's order, he couldn't wait to send his troops out.

He and Zhang Qing were at the forefront, followed by Shi Xiu, Li Yun, Li Tianrun, Lü Shinang...

……

Jin Wuzhu originally thought that the two marshals, He Bida and Dou Bili, would be able to stabilize the situation by going to the rear army.

However, to his surprise, Hebida and Doubili went to no avail, and the entire rear army was in chaos!
The shouts of battle grew closer, and Jin Wuzhu couldn't help but turn around to look:

After his rear guard was routed by the Qi army, he fled in panic and crashed into the central army, thus becoming an accomplice of the Qi army!

The rear guard charged ahead, catching the central army off guard, and then the Qi army followed behind, slaughtering indiscriminately!

"Isn't that reasonable?"

Jin Wuzhu flew into a rage: "Temujin, slaughter all these ignorant Qi soldiers!"

Temujin received the order and immediately led his troops to attack the Qi army, successfully halting their advance...

Although the Qi army was fierce, it was outnumbered and outgunned by the hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers.

"kill--"

Shi Xiu swung his ghost-head broadsword in a wide arc, charging left and right, rampaging and killing, leaving heads rolling everywhere!
However, the Jin soldiers were simply too numerous, and even though he was much stronger than before, he couldn't break through the encirclement...

"Brother Da Xiu!" Li Yun also switched to using the ghost-head broadsword and fought his way to Shi Xiu's side:

"Why are there more and more Golden Dogs the more we kill them..."

"Even if there are more, killing one is still one less to kill!"

"Desperate Saburo" Shi Xiu didn't feel tired, but "Blue-Eyed Tiger" Li Yun was already covered in sweat.

Li Yun couldn't help but complain: "Is there not a single soldier in the city of Tokyo?"
"We've traveled a long way to rescue them, so why aren't we seeing fighting in the city?"

"Humph!"

Shi Xiu's face darkened: "Ignore them!"
"My master said that the knife in my hand is meant to protect the people!"

"Your Majesty is right!"

Li Yun gritted his teeth and continued to fight the Jin soldiers to the death!

However, their forces were ultimately too small, and they were a ragtag army hastily assembled from various prefectures in Shandong.

Although they initially caused trouble for the Jin army with their initial momentum, the Jin army, after realizing what was happening, surrounded and fought the 50,000 Qi soldiers under Temujin's command.

The Qi army was already exhausted and outnumbered, and gradually began to show signs of weakness...

As for Tokyo, the fighting had long since ended.

From the moment Emperor Huizong of Song passed away, all the officials in the court were thinking about either fleeing or surrendering...

"Let's go, Your Highness!"

Tong Guan, the Privy Councilor of the Eastern Hall, Wang Fu, the Junior Minister, Su Yuanjing, the Grand Commandant of the Palace Guard, Zhao Ding, the Grand Counselor, and a group of civil and military officials, including Generals Wang Bing and Zhao Tan, escorted Crown Prince Zhao Huan and fled through the west gate.

Zhao Huan was the future Emperor Qinzong of Song, and at this time he was only twenty-two years old.

After escorting Zhao Huan out of the city, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, and others headed west.

"Let's go, Your Highness!"

Grand Tutor Cai Jing, Grand Commandant of the Palace Guard Chen Zongshan, Grand Commandant of the Infantry Duan Chang, Grand Censor Cui Jing, Imperial Academy Instructor Qin Hui, and a group of civil and military officials including Generals Qiu Yue, Liu Yanqing, and Liu Guangshi, escorted Prince Kang, Zhao Gou, to escape through the south gate.

Zhao Gou was the future Emperor Gaozong of Song, and he was only fifteen years old at the time.

After Cai Jing, Qin Hui, and others escorted Zhao Gou out of the city, they headed south.

As for the Qi army fighting to the death with the Jin soldiers at the North Gate, no one paid any attention.

Not to mention the Qi army, even the princes like Prince Yun Zhao Kai, Prince Su Zhao Shu, Prince Jing Zhao Qi, Prince Ji Zhao Xu, and Prince Yi Zhao Yu are in grave danger!

Because Song Jiang has gone mad with killing!

"I, Song Gongming, always keep my word!"
"If I say I'll exterminate your entire family, then I will exterminate your entire family!"

Song Jiang beheaded Zhao Zhen, the eighteenth son of Emperor Huizong of Song, with a single stroke. Poor Zhao Zhen was only eleven years old at the time...

……

Jin Wuzhu was in no hurry to enter the city because the battle between the Jin soldiers and the Qi army was not yet over.

Immediately after crossing the suspension bridge, Jin Wuzhu frowned and asked Temujin:

"How many troops did we deploy in total?"

Temujin quickly calculated with his fingers: "At least two hundred thousand..."

Jin Wuzhu then asked, "Where is the Qi army?"

Temujin: "About forty or fifty thousand..."

Jin Wuzhu snorted coldly: "More than 200,000 men have surrounded and killed 40,000 to 50,000, and they're still killing after half an hour?"

Temujin was speechless, so he could only make fun of the six kingdoms and three rivers:
"The Qi army is brave and skilled in battle!"
"The armies of the Six Kingdoms and the Three Rivers are ultimately no match for the warriors of the Jin Kingdom; their fighting strength is worrisome..."

"Humph!"

Just as Jin Wuzhu was about to reprimand him, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound of thunder coming from the north!
