This was a fear they had never experienced before!
To be fair, the two men, who had experienced the war for the founding of the Jin Dynasty, were certainly well-informed.
If we say that there are many enemy troops on the opposite side, are they more numerous than the people in Bianliang City? If we say that they are all troops, it is not surprising, because the Liao people and the Song people have deployed large enough armies in front of the Jurchens. Are these people more numerous than the Song army that rescued Taiyuan?
Is it because the other side has more livestock and cavalry?
That's not true either. In the Battle of Hubudagan, the Khitan cavalry and livestock were as numerous as the sea.
However, Wuzhu and Tuhesu felt fear... because they knew that the dense crowds of people and military forces before them were probably the biggest enemy the Jurchen army had ever encountered!
The Khitans were incompetent, and the Liao army on Hubudagang was also incompetent, but who dares to say that Yelu Dashi and his followers, who have been fighting for so many years after the fall of the Liao Dynasty and have become stronger with each battle, are incompetent?
If they are incompetent, why haven't we seen the Jin Dynasty's Western Route Army, which has superior military strength, drive the enemy out of the trap after almost half a month?
The Han people were incompetent, the Song army under the city of Tokyo, on the Hebei plain, and outside the city of Taiyuan were incompetent, but who dares to say that the main force of the Song army's imperial camp, who gritted their teeth and fought back step by step from the Huai River, was incompetent?
The incompetent Song army would appear here?! They would appear under the Yinshan Mountain?!
This is Yinshan Mountain! Even Zhao Kuangyin has never been here!
Even if they were the Mongols, it had been several years. Could the Jin Dynasty really do anything to Kublai Khan?
Of course, the more important point is that while the other side has become increasingly powerful after the trials of war, it is also a fact that the Jurchens have become increasingly corrupt and their fighting power is declining.
But no matter what the reason, this is the first time since the founding of the Jurchens that they have personally felt fear from the perspective of military strength... Even if it is the Battle of Yaoshan, if they fight it again, they will not be afraid. Instead, the Song people dared to cry out for luck. This time, the Jurchens finally began to be afraid!
This also means that the combined forces of these armies finally overwhelmed the Jurchens for the first time.
In fact, when thinking of this, Wanyan Wushu had already realized why the Song army came here... They just wanted to gather a force that could overwhelm the main force of the Jurchens head-on!
Facing the Jurchens who had been rampant for twenty years, facing the Great Jin Dynasty which still controlled twenty million households, the Han people who were almost destroyed, the Khitans who had actually been destroyed once, and the Mongols who had just risen, the three coalition forces appeared here and then joined together, which in itself was a huge victory that was beyond words from both military and political perspectives!
"King Wei!"
Just as Wanyan Wushu was wavering, Tuhesu suddenly pointed his finger at a group of Song soldiers pouring out from the division point on the river bank. The armor of that group of Song soldiers was bright and their formation was neat. It was obvious that they had a special status, otherwise they would never have been wearing armor during the march.
And in the center of this Song army, there was an exceptionally conspicuous flag being escorted.
The flag was extremely large, and the pattern of its three tails fluttering in the wind was also extremely strange. Tu Hesu just pointed and Wuzhu immediately realized what it was... However, for some reason, there were suddenly two large banners, one black and one white, on both sides of the flag, which inevitably added a little extra momentum.
"Fourth Prince, let's go!" Ah Da carefully pulled up Wanyan Wushu's skirt armor while riding. "There are so many enemies. If we are discovered and then entangled by the Mongolian cavalry, and then followed by the Song heavy troops, we will be in real danger..."
"We can't leave!" Wuzhu came back to his senses, but his breathing became rapid. "The more we can't leave at this time..."
"Fourth Prince!" Tuhesu was also breathing heavily, but he immediately pressed down the whip in the opponent's hand. "I know what you mean. We can't show weakness at this time, but with so few people now, we will die if we run into them! We should be careful of the 20,000 ambushes behind us... What we are most afraid of is not us, but the 20,000 ambushes who mistakenly think we succeeded and charge at us!"
"You can't leave!" Wuzhu turned around, his face pale. "Go tell Bali to withdraw his troops quickly, I'll go meet the Song people!"
"Fourth Prince!" Tu Hesu suddenly flew into a rage. "This is not the time to argue. The other Wan Hu are right. You are fair and a good prince, a good king, but you care too much about the Zhao Song officials! You have been brooding over it since the Huai River incident... But what's the point of arguing like this?!"
"Fourth Prince!" Ah Er was almost crying. "The Song people have discovered us. The Mongols from the Kerey tribe must have told the Song army... Let's leave quickly!"
"Even if we don't tell them, with such a big flag standing here for half a quarter of an hour, the Song people will send troops to investigate!" Tu Hesu became more and more angry. "Fourth Prince, leave quickly!"
Wuzhu looked at the several light cavalry groups rushing towards here from afar, and it was hard to tell whether they were Song people, Mongols, or Khitans. Then he looked at Tuhesu, gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Fourth Prince!"
Seeing this, Tu Hesu was not angry, but sighed and his tone slowed down a bit. "I really understand what the Fourth Prince wants, but let's go now and let A Da and A Er deal with the enemy for a while, as long as they don't lose morale... If I hadn't been lame, I would have stayed and dealt with the enemy myself... But now is different, me, you, and the overall situation."
Wuzhu sneered, and it was unclear whether it was disdain or self-mockery.
But no matter what, the usually vulgar Tuhesu was not annoyed this time. Instead, he just continued to speak earnestly: "In fact, I have the same temper in my heart, Fourth Prince. In the past two years, I often hate that I can't be on the battlefield in Yaoshan. I often think that if I were on the battlefield and led two or three thousand more soldiers, would I be able to pull down the dragon flag in one fell swoop? Then Guanxi would be in our hands. Are we besieging Tokyo now?"
