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 76: Falling Eagle

The two groups, one in front and one on the side, exerted force at the same time, clamping the battlefield like an iron clamp.

In the chaos, Wanyan Wushu was completely stunned and could not speak for a long time. Han Chang suddenly sneered, "I was wrong... Fourth Prince, let me tell you, if we lose today, it is not unfair for us to lose... Such troops must be the personal troops of generals at the level of Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Zhang Jun. They can only support 3,000 with 40,000 or 50,000 troops, but they were willingly sent to the hands of the Zhao Song officials... You say, if the King's Hezhamengan and the First Prince's Hezhamengan were sent together today, with 6,000 Hezhamengans, wouldn't we have won on the plateau a long time ago?"

Wuzhu said nothing, but moved his eyes away from the long axes that were soon no longer sharp, and then stared at the dragon banner that seemed to have merged with the mountainside.

On Bagua Mountain, on Xiacai City, in Nanyang City... he has failed to shake the dragon flag time and time again. Will it be the same today?

But things shouldn't be like this. Time and time again, Wanyan Wushu told himself in his heart that he should be the one running after the dragon banner!

Why has it not been shaken even once?

At the same time, Lou Shi was also looking at the dragon banner, but he did not look at it for too long. He silently looked at the two surprise troops that suddenly appeared in front of the formation... and soon turned his gaze to the large Wu flag behind the Qinfeng Road troops in front of him.

He knew that he still had a chance.

"Where is Han Shizhong?" Lou Shi asked the officer beside him without even turning his head.

"We have reached the back of the plateau!"

"Where's Qu Duan?"

"There are so many casualties that it is difficult to move forward, but there is a well-equipped army with a Liu flag approaching him at a very fast speed."

"Tell Jiagu Wulibu not to move and hold on for a while."

“Yes!”

"Let Pucha Huzhan look at my flag. Once I move it, he will immediately break out of Qinfenglu's belly and launch a counterattack against the Song cavalry on the periphery!"

“Yes!”

"Let the Fourth Prince and Han Chang move again, and stop the troops from Xihe Road for me at all costs!"

“Yes!”

"Uncle Po!" Lou Shi suddenly looked at his trusted and beloved general.

"I am here." Wanyan Poshu, whose body and face were covered with blood and yellow mud, bowed.

"How many soldiers and horses are left in the central army to charge?"

"four thousand!"

"Divide the troops into two and give you two thousand. Go behind me. Do you know what to do?" Lou Shi asked calmly without changing his expression.

"Help the governor stop Qu Duan and the troops with the Liu character flag..."

"No!" Lou Shi responded calmly. "It doesn't matter if they catch up with us. Don't be distracted."

"It is to stop Han Shizhong!" Wanyan Poshu corrected immediately.

"That's right!" Lou Shi replied frankly. "At this point, both sides have exhausted their strength, their arrows have run out, their blades are drawn, and Han Shizhong's troops are charging at us, but they are also fresh troops! What you have to do is to stay behind me and hold back his elite cavalry!"

"clear!"

"You don't understand!" Lou Shi lowered his head slightly, then rolled up his eyes and said in a deep voice. "You try to block the way for me from behind, and I will lead two thousand cavalry to make a final charge... If it works, then it works. If it doesn't, then don't worry about my life or death, and lead your troops to turn north directly, join forces with Pucha Huzhan, and charge out together, bypass that plateau slope, and support Bali's quick withdrawal!"

“…”

"Do you understand?"

"……clear!"

Having said this, Lou Shi said no more. After a while, Wuzhu, Han Chang, Jiagu Wulibu and others obviously received the military order and started to fight. At this time, Wanyan Poshu turned around without hesitation and led two thousand cavalrymen to move slightly behind him.

The gap widened, and although Qu Duan and Liu Yan didn't know the reason, they were both overjoyed and hurriedly advanced towards Lou Shi's flag. But at this moment, Lou Shi's flag moved again.

The two thousand cavalrymen did not do any fancy moves, and their arrows were almost used up, but they each held a spear, and as Lou Shi turned around and drew out his spear, they formed several sharp arrow formations in front of the Qinfeng Road troops, and then followed the flag of their commander Lou Shi and charged forward at the Qinfeng Road troops that were already scattered beyond recognition!

The Jin army's most extreme tactic of forcing people to attack has begun again!

In the Battle of Huanglongfu, Wanyan Aguda, who had just founded his kingdom, attacked Huanglongfu and took advantage of the situation to surround and attack the reinforcements. The Liao army came to rescue with heavy troops. Lou Shi came from afar to help. When he arrived, his horse was in good condition. Aguda gave him 300 war horses, and Lou Shi changed horses and charged. In one day, he and Yin Shuke attacked one wing of the Liao army nine times. In the end, they actually broke through the Liao army that was several times larger than theirs.

From then on, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda recognized Lou Shi's talent as a general and made him the first Meng'an of the Jin army and the Wanhu of Huanglongfu! Later, he became the actual commander of the Western Route Army!

So, who can deny the military talent of such a man?

As a comrade, who could veto his military proposals and orders? As an enemy, who could not treat it as a formidable foe and fight desperately?

And when he personally leads the crowd to charge, who will be able to resist?

After all, this man had achieved everything through those miraculous yet mundane cavalry charges.

Qinfeng Road had more than 10,000 people. After receiving the reinforcements from Qiao Ze and Fu Qing, the number might be even greater, but it was impossible to calculate at this time. Such a large army was roughly divided into two parts by Pucha Huzhan's Hezhameng'an, forming the front and back parts. When Wanyan Loushi led his troops to charge, the front army, whose morale had already been shaky, immediately collapsed. At the same time, Pucha Huzhan, who had been in the belly of the Qinfeng Road formation and maintained the division of the formation, suddenly made an unexpected move - he suddenly abandoned the Qinfeng Road troops and rushed out to fight Zhang Xian's Beiwei Army head-on!
