Inheriting the Song Dynasty

In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...

Chapter 62: Rout

On the opposite city wall, a crossbow that had been strung long ago was aimed and fired immediately, but it just flew over Gu Chipi's head - it was not because Gu Chipi had eyes on his back, but because of the weather, his horse suddenly started moving, but after only a few steps, it foamed at the mouth, knelt on the ground, and threw Gu Chipi off.

But after this commotion, Gu Chipi's warning has taken effect.

Amid the rolling heat wave, Salihe, who was hiding his nose behind a hill to escape the heat in the distance, watched this scene and was immediately surprised. Then he immediately climbed up in a panic and did not forget to point Taizu's sword at a certain place to remind Gu Chipi. He discovered the two flags and noticed the movements in the city and the military camp that were difficult to conceal, and he woke up instantly.

Wanyan Salihe immediately gave the order for the entire army to assemble.

However, after the military order was passed down, the troops were extremely slow to gather... Sali shouted at his men, but still could not get the troops to move faster... There was no other way. These Jurchen, Khitan and Bohai people really could not stand this kind of heat. For the Jin army, at this moment, the power of the sun was probably even more terrifying than the crossbow arrows before.

After all, crossbow arrows are only effective when they hit people at an effective distance. Although they are said to kill quickly, only hundreds of people can actually be killed. However, the sun at this time was shining indiscriminately on the entire Jin army position, and the two or three thousand Jin soldiers here were all in a trance.

The power of heaven is so great that no human power can defeat it.

In the hot summer, in the Qiaoshan military camp, a purple flag flew down from top to bottom, rushing forward; at the same time, the suspension bridge of Fangzhou City was suddenly lowered, and then a red flag came out first. The two flags met in front of the suspension bridge. It turned out that the military governor Wu Jie and Wang Xi, who had just been promoted to the commander-in-chief for one day, were personally holding shields and swords in front, and behind them countless Song army soldiers rushed out in two directions...

If it happened yesterday, this scene would have certainly made Salihe extremely surprised, but now, the cold-faced man who climbed up the hill and hurried down regardless of the danger was extremely terrified.

The two large flags of the Song army passed over a narrow and messy battlefield, forcing a small group of Han soldiers who were hiding in the dirt to flee in a panic, but surprisingly there was no shouting and killing. On the east side of the battlefield, although many Jin soldiers noticed the chaos and received military orders, they did not know what was going on due to their vision and the heat, and were still slow and confused.

But, just a moment later, as the Song army drove the scattered Jin army across the narrow battlefield, Wu Jie, who was holding a shield and a sword in front, spat out a piece of iron coin from his mouth with all his strength, then raised his sword and roared.

Then, the seventy or eighty elite Song soldiers following behind him almost all spat out the iron coins in their mouths and roared!

With a loud roar, the small group of Jin troops that had just barely gathered seventy or eighty people in front of the Song army formation paused immediately. But soon, as the leader, a Jin army silver medalist holding an old knife, rushed towards the Song army formation with all his might, this small group of troops gritted their teeth and fought bravely.

However, Wu Jie did not slow down and just smashed the seized shield in his hand towards the Jin army officer who was fighting back. He knocked Yinpai Meng'an, whose steps were already disorderly, to the ground and then killed him with a single blow.

When Wu Da picked up the opponent's sword, he continued to charge forward without stopping. Under the scorching sun, the Jin army that had hastily tried to block the intersection immediately collapsed.

At the same time, as more and more Song soldiers poured out of that road of death behind them, more and more iron coins were spit out, and the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and then they actually formed an echo between Qiaoshan and Fangzhou City, and kept reverberating.

Salihe, who had been standing there in a daze when Gu Chipi died in the battle, did not hesitate any more and jumped on his horse and fled.

It is unclear whether it happened simultaneously or in a certain order. The Jin army, which had been exhausted to the extreme by casualties and the heat, did not even wait for the Song army to reach them. They collapsed almost simultaneously, abandoned their weapons and fled... This behavior was no different from the performance of the Song army at the front line of the mountain stronghold two days ago.

At the end of the day, we are all just human.
