The three hundred Beiwei soldiers fought like crazy and disrupted the two thousand Jin soldiers.
The morale of Guo Tianming's troops was immediately boosted, and the soldiers fought bravely. The army returning to Tebu Peak also launched several charges.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. The cavalrymen returning to Tebu Peak were indeed powerful, and both sides were blood-thirsty.
Guo Tianming's flag became the target of the enemy's attack.
The Song army had strict discipline, and the general's flag was their command. If the flagpole pointed west, Guo Tianming's troops would gather westward and attack. If the flagpole pointed east, the soldiers would attack eastward.
The flag team occupied a slope, which gave them a commanding position and allowed them to command the troops well.
The Jin soldiers were very smart. They concentrated their forces and rushed towards the flag bearer.
If the Song army's flag is cut down, the army's morale will collapse, and a small group of Jin soldiers will attack the flag bearer.
A Song army flag bearer raised the flag with one arm because his left shoulder had been hit by an arrow from the opposing Jin cavalry.
The flag fluttered with a big "Song" character on it, which was the soul of this army.
We are the army of the Great Song Dynasty. The passionate men of the Great Song Dynasty will never surrender. As long as the flag is there, the people will be there.
With a whoosh, the standard-bearer was hit in the chest by an arrow.
"Swish, swish, swish!" Several crossbow arrows continued to fly over, and the flag bearer was shot into a hedgehog, but he still held the flagpole tightly before dying.
The unknown standard-bearer finally completed his mission and fell on this bloody battlefield.
With the death of the flag bearer, the general's flag is about to fall down.
A lieutenant general nearby saw the flag bearer fall, so he quickly rushed forward and grabbed the flagpole.
The flagpole swayed back and forth to cheer on the soldiers.
Seeing that the command flag was still standing, the Song army gritted their teeth and fought bravely.
The Jin soldiers attacked the flag bearer again. Zhang Xian realized that something was wrong and shouted, "Protect the flag bearer!"
The Song army soldiers moved closer to the flag bearer, stepping on the corpses and advancing one after another.
After this battle, only 7,000 of the 20,000 Song troops retreated to Xianping Prefecture, and Hui Tebu Peak left behind more than 20,000 corpses and retreated to Longzhou City.
The entire battlefield was a hell on earth, with flames burning and corpses piled all over the ground.
A few crows flew by, landed on the ground and cried a few times.
The corpses were countless, stretching for dozens of miles, and weapons, swords and arrows were scattered all over the ground.
There is no absolute winner in war. One general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Victory is built on countless corpses.
The situation of Liang Zifan's troops was even less optimistic. Xu Yundong, who was stationed in Changchun, discovered that Liang Zifan's troops did not have many troops. Xu Yundong sent a team of cavalry to follow closely behind. Liang Zifan was unable to retreat, and the 5,000-strong vanguard of Yue Family Army was in danger.
Pujia Griffin's 30,000-strong Bohai army arrived at Changchun City and joined forces with Xu Yundong. Xu Yundong was overjoyed, knowing that the annihilation of Liang Zifan was just around the corner.
Wanyan Zonghan led his Xi army to Longzhou and returned to Tebu Peak to welcome Kaicheng.
"Your Majesty, we repelled the Song army's nine sieges. The last time, they were badly defeated and fled back to Xianping Prefecture." Hui Tebufeng hurriedly asked for credit.
Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said, "Very good. Take me to the front line to have a look."
Wanyan Zonghan led his guards outside the city and saw corpses strewn across the mountains and plains. Knowing that Huite Bufeng's words were true, he was deeply moved and said, "General Huite, after this battle, I will appoint you as the General Zhenyuan."
Hui Tebufeng was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
The battlefield was thick with smoke, occasionally punctuated by the groans and howls of wounded soldiers. The Jin soldiers lined up in a line, cleaning up the mess, cleaning up the battlefield and finishing off the remaining Song soldiers.
"Report, Your Majesty, we caught him alive." Suddenly a soldier came to report.
Wanyan Zonghan looked back and saw a Song soldier who looked like an officer being brought up.
This person's face was stained with oil and blood and his original appearance could no longer be seen.
"Who are you?" Zong Han asked.
The Song general glared at him. "Han Allen, the Imperial Guard's Infantry Commander."
Like a night owl in the dark night, like a group of noisy crows on the battlefield, Han Allen's body was covered in blood and mud and he no longer looked like a human.
Only his eyes were still shining. Wanyan Zonghan hated these eyes because at this moment, these bright but hateful eyes were looking at him.
"Dig out his eyes for me!" Wanyan Zonghan said.
Han Allen struggled, but was held down by two soldiers. One soldier drew his dagger, and Han Allen trembled. He was afraid.
The soldier raised his dagger and was about to attack.
"Wait!" Wanyan Zonghan suddenly remembered something and walked up to Han Ailun: "Is your Song Dynasty's dog emperor in Xianping Prefecture?"
Han Allen's eyes flickered: "No, no."
His expression did not escape Wanyan Zonghan's attention. Wanyan Zonghan approached him and said, "If you don't tell me, I will dig out your eyes, cut out your tongue, and smoke your ears to make them deaf. Then I will hang you outside this city and let the crows eat you alive."
Sweat broke out on Han Allen’s forehead…
It was not until Zhang Xian and Guo Tianming retreated to Xianping Prefecture that Zhao Huan realized the seriousness of the matter.
Guo Tianming was injured and the military doctor was treating him.
Yue Fei waved his hand: "Come here!"
A guard came in from outside, and Yue Fei said, "Zhang Xian, take a team to escort His Majesty out of the city."
Zhang Xian bowed and said, "As you wish."
"I won't leave." Zhao Huan still wanted to insist.
Yue Fei ignored him and said: "Escort His Majesty to Guangning Prefecture!"
Zhang Xian walked up to Zhao Huan and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Huan's face turned pale. "I won't leave. Liang Zifan's troops haven't sent any news yet. How can I leave?"
Zhang Xian winked at the two soldiers, and they carried Zhao Huan away.
