The spearmen and axemen were led by Liang Zifan and Wang Gui, and they were filling in the gaps in the cavalry.
The cavalry chopped off the horses' legs, and the spearmen and axemen could then rush over to deal with the Iron Pagoda that had fallen to the ground.
The Iron Buddha was covered in armor, impervious to swords and spears. Yue's soldiers stabbed his joints with spears, while the stronger ones smashed him with axes, hammers and other heavy weapons, causing internal injuries.
The once-arrogant Iron Pagoda collapsed instantly with the cooperation of various branches of Yue Family Army.
For a time, the heavy armored cavalry on the front line of Jin Wushu suffered heavy casualties, and the defeat of the Jin army was inevitable.
General Han Chang rushed forward and said, "General, retreat!"
Jin Wushu smiled bitterly: "Retreat, where to retreat? We are surrounded by Yue Family Army. Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, we have destroyed the Liao Dynasty, attacked the Northern Mongolia, defeated the Western Xia, and entered the Song Dynasty without a single defeat. However, since Zhao Huan ascended the throne, our Jin Dynasty has been defeated in succession. We lost the Sixteen Prefectures, lost Dading, and now our Jin Xiaorui has destroyed our hands.
It’s over.”
Han Chang said anxiously: "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. I am willing to lead the general to fight to break out of the siege! Protect the general, and everyone rush out from the west!" The last sentence was said to his subordinates.
Han Chang summoned his men and launched a fierce attack from the west, hoping to break through the encirclement.
Jin Wushu looked up to the sky and sighed: "God has destroyed my great Jin!"
The battle at the Hela River lasted from morning to noon. Corpses were everywhere, covering the mountains and plains. Some were from Jin Wushu's army, and some were from Yue Fei's army.
The Jin army was badly defeated and fled in all directions. Jin General Ma Wu led over 700 men and attempted to escape across Hebei. When they reached the river, they discovered it was swift and turbulent, with no boats or boats to sail across unless they had wings.
Xia Dechao led 3,000 Song soldiers in pursuit, leaving Ma Wu and his men with nowhere to retreat.
A group of Song soldiers surrounded Ma Wu and others. The Jin soldiers who roamed the world were now terrified. They huddled together and looked at the surrounding Song soldiers in horror.
Xia Dechao raised his saber and said, "Golden Dog, come and fight me to the death!"
Ma Wu was furious and attacked with his sword raised. Xia Dechao shouted loudly and rushed forward with his sword.
"Kill!" The Song army surrounded him from behind, and the two sides started fighting again.
Xia Dechao's swordsmanship has some characteristics of the Northwest Army, but Ma Wu's swordsmanship is the authentic Jurchen swordsmanship.
Xia Dechao's saber has a very long handle, making it suitable for long-range combat. Ma Wu's broadsword has a thick back, giving it great power and a heavy attack.
One was a general under Yue Fei, the other a fierce warrior under Jin Wushu. The two men fought each other with swords for nearly a hundred rounds, but there was no clear winner.
The battle between the Song army and the Jin army nearby was a completely different scene. The Song army, which was four times larger than the Jin army, almost slaughtered all the Jin soldiers under Ma Wu.
After fighting for several more rounds, Xia Dechao turned around and left, and Ma Wu took the opportunity to pounce on him.
Suddenly, Xia Dechao turned around and stabbed out with the saber in his hand, using the same spear technique.
With a "Puff!" sound, the saber in Xia Dechao's hand pierced into Ma Wu's heart.
The big knife in Ma Wu's hand fell to the ground with a bang. He looked at Xia Dechao in horror, still unable to believe how he had swung the knife.
Xia Dechao pulled back his saber, and Ma Wu groaned and fell to the ground.
Little did they know that the move Xia Dechao used was exactly the Yue Family Army's Overlord's Back-Comeback Stance, which was also a move of the Yue Family Spear and was extremely powerful when facing the enemy.
Meanwhile, Wang Gui and Liang Zifan's army pursued Jin Wushu relentlessly. To protect Jin Wushu's retreat, Han Chang stayed behind with over 2,000 Jin soldiers. Liang Zifan and Wang Gui were no match for Han Chang, even though they were combined.
Han Chang was a general that Wushu of Jin Dynasty valued the most. After Wanyan Ang's death, he became the most powerful warrior of the Jin Dynasty.
Liang Zifan shouted, "Golden thief Han Chang, why don't you surrender immediately!"
Han Chang uttered a loud "Pah!" "You bastard Liang Zifan, I wish I could tear you into pieces!"
The three of them engaged in another fight. Han Chang also wielded a spear, and after a few rounds, Wang Gui was stabbed in the right arm, unable to use his sword. Liang Zifan, startled, rushed to his aid, but was also stabbed in the left shoulder.
Han Chang's spearmanship was unique and unpredictable. He danced his spear into a streak of light, forcing Liang Zifan back. He then thrust his spear back, piercing Wang Gui's throat.
Wang Gui died in battle, Liang Zifan was furious and rushed forward with his sword. Han Chang used his killing moves to end Liang Zifan's life.
Suddenly, there was the sound of hoofbeats, and another group of Song army arrived. It was Jiang Zhongguo, the leader of the palace guards, who arrived with his guards.
Han Chang saw the reinforcements coming and didn't dare to fight anymore. He fired a feint to force Liang Zifan to retreat, then he pulled up the reins and fled.
Jin Wushu was running westward with only 300 of his personal soldiers, and was about to reach the southern end of the Hela River when suddenly a group of people appeared in front of them, led by a white horse and a Song general holding a spear in one hand.
The horse was completely snow-white, without a trace of other colors. It was the porcelain pheasant that Yue Fei rode.
When enemies meet, their eyes turn red. Jin Wushu's face twitched: "Yue Fei!"
Yue Fei said coldly: "Exactly! Jin Wushu, the Hela River is your destination!"
The three hundred personal soldiers behind Jin Wushu were all his loyal followers, and they all rushed forward to protect their leader. Jin Wushu held out his hand to stop them, as he wanted to meet Yue Fei alone.
Yue Fei's followers were also eager to make a move, and agreed with Yue Fei to stop his men. The two great generals wanted to prove their abilities.
Jin Wushu's weapon was a Chiwei Phoenix Head Golden Sparrow Axe, while Yue Fei used the Liquan Divine Spear dipped in a golden spear. Both of their weapons were unparalleled divine weapons.
Yue Fei brandished the Liquan Spear, and immediately a buzzing sound arose, like the roaring of mountains and rivers, like the rushing of a great river.
Jin Wushu swung the Golden Sparrow Axe, and the sound of the axe rumbled like thunder and rain hitting banana leaves.
Both of them knew that the other was powerful, so they focused their attention and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
