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 67: So Decisive

In other words, it was heading towards the big flag with the word "king" on it that had just entered the infantry formation.

Guo Jin followed closely behind, and the two Beiwei troops were used to following people, so they did not hesitate and immediately caught up. Only the one who was cleaning up the river bank was obviously a little stunned, but after looking at the leader, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he chose to stay where he was with a little agitation.

The young captain, Yue Yun, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, was also obviously confused... It was his first time on a battlefield, how could he know what to do?

If I don't go, would it be considered as cowardice?

But if I go, would it be considered as attacking without authorization?

Who will be beaten with a military stick?

However, this doubt was soon dispelled as a general appeared on the river bank with hundreds of cavalry who were no longer hiding.

"Yue Yun!" Zhang Xian glared at him from the riverbank. "The enemy is about to flee, what are you doing? All the cavalry here are yours, quickly take them to Da Mashao! Remember, if you make a mistake, you will be punished with twenty military sticks!"

Upon receiving the order, Yue Yun did not hesitate and immediately mounted his horse, leading the two or three hundred cavalrymen who had just crossed the river and his own captain to chase after Guo and Yang.

However, Zhang Xian stayed where he was, urging his troops behind him... but they failed to cross the river without a battle. Instead, the Beiwei Army of the right army of the Imperial Camp repeatedly made the final blow. From the perspective of Tian Shizhong, he was certainly being controlled, but from the perspective of the two armies under Zhang Xian and Zhang Zigai, Zhang Zigai's troops were increasingly respected in the camp, while the Beiwei cavalry of the front army of the Imperial Camp became the target of many people's ridicule.

Some even said that Marshal Yue's real Beiwei Army was actually Zhang Jiedu's army. How could Zhang Xian tolerate this?

Just like that, Zhang Xian was organizing the troops here, and he would send out one city at a time as he organized them. On the other side, a small group of cavalrymen sped up, so fast that in just a few miles, Wang Bolun had just led the infantry to the east, and just a few hundred steps away from the dike, the two sides engaged in direct battle!

Of course Wang Bolong saw this small group of cavalry, and he also became nervous... But what made him nervous was not the power of these two hundred cavalrymen, but the fear that if he was bitten, the Song cavalry would continue to attack and tear him apart here.

Therefore, he immediately pointed out two Moukes and asked them to lead the remaining two hundred cavalry to meet the enemy in person.

But at this time, the Jin army was already in a panic. The two Mouke cavalrymen were already furious when they saw Wang Bolun abandoning a large number of main forces. It would have been fine if they were ordered to meet the Song cavalry at this time, but the key was that there was more smoke and dust rolling behind these cavalrymen, and it was obvious that they were constantly receiving reinforcements. How could they be willing to go and die?

Once the thoughts start to turn, even if one dares not to openly disobey orders, his actions will inevitably slow down.

At the same time, Generals Guo and Yang were not just charging in recklessly. Seeing that there were still many cavalrymen protecting the Wang banner and that reinforcements were coming from behind, they simply turned slightly and rushed to the east together to attack the corner of the Jin army's infantry formation, intending to stop the Jin army from escaping.

The two men cooperated well. The two hundred cavalrymen were like two huge iron spears, and the two generals were like spear tips that never rusted. On one hand, they avoided the Jin cavalry who were somewhat slow in movement, and on the other hand, they kept finding loose areas in the corners of the Jin army's infantry formation to gouge out flesh.

After only two or three successful attacks, the Jin army's infantry formation became somewhat chaotic.

When Yue Yun arrived with several hundred cavalrymen and ran into the Jin army's blocking forces, the chaos became more severe and the speed of the army's retreat was obviously hindered.

The situation Wang Bolong was most worried about happened.

Then, this famous Jin general, who was known as the bravest and most strategic general in the Eastern Army, hesitated again and made a quick decision again. He took off his mask for the umpteenth time and ordered the remaining hundreds of cavalry to break away from the infantry formation and drive away the two small cavalry groups that blocked the infantry's retreat.

This time, he really was not running away, and he did not leave the infantry formation, because he had realized that if he abandoned the infantry again, he would inevitably become a hunted object in the wilderness.

He really wanted to save this infantry unit and himself.

However, when Yang Zaixing saw the cavalry under General Wang Bolun disperse and rush towards him, he was extremely excited, because the opponent's action also revealed a flaw and opened the infantry's tight gate.

Without waiting to whistle Guo Jin, Yang Zaixing waved his iron spear and led the dozens of cavalrymen behind him to go upstream against the Jin cavalry. Guo Jin saw it from a distance and was furious, but he had to give up his original tactics and led his troops forward to cover Yang Zaixing.

Wang Bolong stood under his own flag and watched the scene through the eyeholes on his mask.

He saw that the leading rider was holding a huge iron spear, and he was waving it as easily as if it was a small gadget. He rushed all the way, upstream, and killed his cavalry continuously. In just a moment, he killed more than ten people, and kept advancing towards him. In a trance, he thought of how he looked when he was fighting more than ten years ago.

I still remember that during a siege he even lost his helmet. However, instead of retreating, he ignored the fact that he was already a general and simply put on heavy armor, used a big pot as a helmet, and climbed up the city wall with an iron spear. He killed more than 20 people on the city wall with his own hands and finally broke into the city first.

From then on, even Elubu did not dare to show off his bravery in front of him.

This man today is as brave as I was back then!

There was nothing wrong with the order he had just given, it was just that this man's courage was truly remarkable.

Thinking of this, Wang Bolun summoned up his remaining courage, took out his spear from his horse, and rushed forward to meet the enemy.

Yang Zaixing saw a general in extraordinary armor coming over from his banner. How could he not know that it was Wang Bolong? He was even more delighted, and he killed several more riders, rushed to the front, and thrust his spear. Wang Bolong just raised his hand to receive it, and felt his arms go numb, and then suddenly woke up... It was not a question of whether he still had the courage of the past, but that the other party was even stronger than he was in his prime!
