Back to the Song Dynasty: The Rise of an Empire

If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"

Chapter 470 Yes, yes, yes! We've come to surrender!

But I didn't expect to lose so quickly, it was as if we hadn't even fought.

"Pass on my order: the entire army is on high alert and ready to fight Song the dog to the death!"

The two originally planned to wage a protracted war, with each keeping the other in check.

But to his surprise, the three Jin generals who were courting death were instantly annihilated, prompting Yang Zaixing to strike while the iron was hot and launch another attack.

As a result, the situation immediately spiraled out of control, turning into a direct confrontation between the two sides' main forces!

Under the moonlight, large numbers of Jin cavalrymen lined up in formation on the grassland, their armor gleaming brightly.

Looking down from the distant sky, it resembles an endless, cold, steel ocean.

The cavalry on the left and right flanks deployed into formation, like two sharp blades.

The Jin Dynasty had high requirements for selecting its army. In the Han army, officers were all from prominent Han families and were skilled in both literature and martial arts.

Ordinary soldiers were also rich peasants.

Moreover, the Jin army was well-disciplined; even the most scoundrels and ruffians thrown in would be thoroughly trained and become professional.

After all, the Jin Dynasty had harsh conditions, and the army that grew up under such harsh conditions was generally more powerful.

This is also why Zhao Huanxiang bought time and continued to export luxury goods from the Song Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty.

Given enough time, the allure of a gentle embrace can soften even the toughest of men.

Unfortunately, Wanyan Zongpan was such a damn incompetent fool.

A general under Han Chang named Fang Weiming said in a rough voice, "General Han, let me take a detour and flank Song's rear, catch them off guard! Make that bastard Yang Zaixing kneel down and beg for mercy!"

"Alright! I'll give you two thousand men. Go behind Song Gou and copy him. You can only succeed, failure is not an option!"
