Therefore, when someone told him in clear words that even if the ten Meng'ans came back, they would not be able to join the battle, the old man, whose heart had been frightened enough today, naturally became completely terrified.
However, perhaps because the Jin army generals had not used that word for many years, Wanyan Talan was so frightened that he did not realize the hint of the surrenderer in front of him for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
A moment later, as Wanyan Talai watched from afar in a strange state as Han Shizhong's military flag crossed the entire battlefield with an unstoppable momentum and successfully merged with the dragon banner and the Yue military flag, he suddenly realized what this surrender meant.
Or perhaps, this surrendered man reminded Talai and made him realize the hidden intention in his heart - before that, Han Shizhong suddenly rushed out from the city, rushed straight for the dragon flag, and also stabbed directly at the back of Da?. At that time, Talai did not take the initiative to send out the last two Meng'an that he had originally used to guard against Han Shizhong. It seemed that he had already had some unspeakable thoughts in his heart.
But this idea was too absurd... Besides, it was not impossible to escape at this time. The Song army was in the east and were preparing to dismantle all the pontoon bridges on the Qingqi River in the east. However, there were also pontoon bridges on the Zhuoqi River in the west of Changsha City. The only thing was that the east was not the Jin army's supply route, nor was it a direction to defend against the Song army's attack, so there were only one or two regular pontoon bridges there!
In other words, it was fine for him to escape at this time, but once he escaped, he would be abandoning the group! More than a dozen Meng An would be left here!
And in all these years, how long has it been since the Jin army's commander abandoned his men and fled in a battle of this magnitude? It's not a desperate situation!
Coming back to the present, after thinking it all through, Talai neither rebuked the surrendered man in front of him, nor agreed with this man, nor did he send his last two strong men as reinforcements to the Song army. Instead, he used a strange silence to deal with this major battle in which the Song army had completely taken the initiative!
It is said that one day ago, if it was said that the Song army would take the initiative to attack, Talai would certainly not believe it;
Before this morning, Talai had absolutely not believed that the Song army would come to Changsha City to fight his main force.
Before noon, he still didn't believe that Yue Fei would lead 20,000 troops to cross the river and attack first.
Until half an hour ago, Talai still didn't believe that he would lose the battle.
A quarter of an hour ago, he still didn't believe that the Zhao Song officials had really come to the battlefield;
But by this time, after all his disbeliefs were shattered one by one by the reality used by the Song army, Talai was already a little confused... He no longer dared to think, nor did he dare to take any action to control the situation.
That’s right, that is to say, at this time, there was no Jin army veteran with sufficient experience by Wanyan Talai’s side, otherwise someone would have said it directly - with a series of decisive and fierce attacks by the Song army, old Talai had been stunned by the Song army!
"Officials!"
While Talai was stunned, Han Shizhong entered Yue Fei's formation and went straight to the dragon banner. He saw Zhao Jiu in person, and then he took a long breath, took off his helmet with a bronze mask, and wept on the ground. "I am on the city wall, I can't believe that the emperor has come in person... I will die, and I have troubled the emperor to go to this dangerous place!"
"What kind of danger is this?" With a flushed face, Emperor Zhao hurried forward to help Han Shizhong up, and then glanced at Yue Fei, who was riding a horse and shouting orders a few dozen steps away, and said the truth from the bottom of his heart. "You are my backbone, and these tens of thousands of troops are my foundation. If you are all here, then this is the most stable place in the world... Let's not talk about other things. What do you think of this battle until now?"
"This battle has already been won since the emperor led the dragon flag across the river!" Han Shizhong wiped his face and stopped talking nonsense. He quickly stood up and held his helmet. "It's just that the generals lacked a unified command and the momentum of the final general attack!"
"Just give it to a good minister!" Zhao Jiu instructed immediately.
"I can't do this either. Although the Tokyo garrison and the Eight Character Army under the city will certainly recognize me, they are not under my command. Moreover, such a chaotic battle is beyond the ability of a general or a commander..." Han Shizhong pointed at the dragon banner above his head and said, "Only if you ask the emperor to move the dragon banner to the northwest to the platform of Wanyan Talan, I and this Yue Zhenfu will escort it together, and then everything can be settled!"
"Just do as your good minister says!" Zhao Jiu glanced at Yue Fei, who had reined in his horse and stopped to listen without saying a word, and suddenly realized that Yue Fei did not know him well enough, and was already very satisfied with the battle situation, so he did not dare to persuade him to do so. Or, in other words, Han Shizhong was the only one in the world who dared to persuade Emperor Zhao to use this trick.
If I have to give an inappropriate example, according to what is said in some high-end games, among the top generals in the world, only Han Shizhong has reached the highest level of bond with Emperor Zhao, and can work with him, the Emperor, to perform this move.
But no matter who started it, after fighting for an hour and half a quarter of an hour, anyone with a little common sense would know that the Jinwu banner representing the Emperor of Zhao Song began to move again on the battlefield, but it was slowly advancing to the northwest under the escort of a large flag with the word "Han" on the left and a large flag with the word "Yue" on the other... Everyone knew that it was Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, but poor Li Qiong and Liu Yan, two commanding-level officers who served as the Zhao emperor's internal army, were not qualified to raise their own flags next to the dragon banner at this time, so as not to usurp the throne, and could only follow from a distance on the flanks.
Seeing the dragon banner and Han Yue's two flags moving together, the Song army of nearly 70,000 people, who had been caught in a chaotic battle due to their hasty crossing of the river, began to spontaneously launch a full-scale assault in this direction. Their advantage of five times that of the enemy was fully demonstrated. The Song army brought with it billowing smoke and dust, surging like a tide, and their shouts of killing shook the sky!
Facts have proved that when one side in the chaos was the first to concentrate its strength, the other side no longer had the power to resist. After the Song army launched a full-scale assault, the few most damaged Jin army soldiers in front of them were completely defeated. Seeing this, the front-line commander of the Jin army, Da?, could only sigh and ride away.
At this time, Talai was still stunned where he was, just staring at the dragon banner rushing towards him and muttering to himself... It is said that until now, the right deputy marshal of the Jin army still held two Meng'an in his hands and had not participated in the battle!
PS: Thanks to my book friends adrian_fufu and Sunshine Beef Noodles... These are the sixty-third and sixty-fourth cutenesses in this book... I would like to continue to thank both of you for your support, I am very grateful.
Then recommend a book... No... This book doesn't need to be recommended... I'd like to offer you the first on the new book list, "Dream Back to the Spring of the Ming Dynasty"
I just noticed that the interface has turned black... I have to say that I think that doing your own thing is the best way to mourn. I hope that everyone will not be captured by the difficulties in the first half of 2020... We can always get through it. After all, in any era, we have no shortage of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.
