Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 219: Signing the army like ants filling the ditch

As a member of the army driven out by the Wuxing Army, Tao Wangsun now regrets it so much that his intestines turn green.

If I had known this would happen, I would have followed General Ming Chun to fight the Jin thieves the day before yesterday!

If they really cannot win at that time, they can follow Kai Zhao and retreat back to Ju County. How can they end up as cannon fodder?

You can't blame others, you should blame yourself for letting your knees go weak and surrendering directly to the Jin army, which left a big hole in the camp. Not only did it harm Ming Chun, but it also trapped yourself.

Tao Wangsun was in tears.

His hundreds of men were also in a panic, and his confidants could hardly control the army. If it were not for the Wuxing Army on both wings behind him, Tao Wangsun had no doubt that these hundreds of people under his command would have scattered.

When they saw the large flag with a blue rhinoceros painted on it from afar, panic finally turned into chaos. When the soldiers crossed a dry riverbed, no one knew who took the lead, but they fell into the river and stopped moving forward. Instead, they fled directly to both sides along the ditch.

The Jin army's regular troops also took ruthless action. Nearly a hundred light cavalry swarmed forward, reined in their horses, stood on the shore, and kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows.

From a high position, as if hunting, they shot the fleeing Han soldiers to death in the ditch.

The blood flowed out, moistening the dry riverbed.

"If you don't advance, you will die!"

Some Jin cavalrymen shouted loudly, and with their spears raised, they threw the soldiers who had stopped moving forward away.

Tao Wangsun swallowed weakly, crossed the riverbed with trembling legs, stepped on several corpses, and climbed to the other side using his hands and feet.

He turned around again unconsciously and looked at the pit full of corpses behind him, but turned back hurriedly under the stare of the Jin army behind him.

Seeing that the green rhinoceros flag was really rushing towards him like a big green rhinoceros out of control, Tao Wangsun became more and more frightened. However, when he looked around, he suddenly found that his hundreds of subordinates were all in chaos, mixed with other panicked soldiers, and there were unfamiliar faces everywhere he looked.

"Kong Da? Jiao Er!"

After calling out to his trusted aides several times, someone finally emerged from the crowd in a panic, clutching a spear. He said to Tao Wangsun, "Master Tao, I just saw Chief Kong go to the west. I don't know what he did there. Second Steward Jiao was pushed to the east by the crowd. It seems he got into some trouble later, and armored cavalry surrounded him... We didn't dare to go and see anymore."

Tao Wangsun felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, his whole body shivering. However, at this point, he could only force himself to remain calm and say, "Don't worry about them. Come towards me!"

"Stand still!"

"Pull up your spears! No matter what happens, don't move! I'll chop anyone who moves!"

At this point, no matter how the Jin cavalry drove them away, the Qian soldiers stopped moving. Except for a small number of people who gathered in groups of dozens and huddled together in fear like frightened cubs, the rest of the Qian soldiers dared not advance or retreat, but just stood there holding their weapons or simply standing there with their bare hands.

Xin Qiji, with his fifty personal guards, was marching at the front. Seeing the large group of soldiers from afar, he pointed and said, "Shoot, scatter them!"

Two hundred archers moved upon hearing the order, and under the command of two small flags, they came to the front of the formation and dispersed.

"lead!"

"put!"

Just one round of arrow rain caused only a dozen casualties, and the army of the Qian army began to crumble. It was only thanks to the desperate suppression of the Jin army that they were able to barely maintain order in this large group of Qian troops.

Tao Wangsun watched helplessly as his attendant beside him was hit by an arrow in the neck. Without saying a word, he fell to the ground in a spurting blood. For a moment, he could not help but feel terrified.

However, the first thought that came to his mind was not regret, nor fear of impending death, nor even looking for a way to survive. Instead, he turned around and looked towards the top of Ju County. Now he wanted to apologize to General Ming Chun, but he wondered if it was too late.

It's too late for anything.

Five hundred heavily armored soldiers carrying long spears had arrived before them. After a brief battle, several more soldiers of the Qian army were stabbed to death. Finally, the entire army collapsed and fled in all directions.

Tao Wangsun, who was standing in front of the Qian army, had nowhere to escape, but he didn't want to escape either. He just kept looking towards Ju County. He was pushed to the ground by the crowd and trampled to death by countless feet.

Tao Wangsun's last thought was that he really couldn't surrender to the Jin army. The nobles of the Jin Kingdom really didn't value Han'er's life...

He was one of the most powerful people in Juzhou, a respectable person who could be the governor's guest, but he could only fill the ditch?
Of course, no matter what thoughts there were, they were all gone after they turned into a pool of blood and flesh. What was even more natural was that no matter whether Tao Wangsun was dead or not, or how he died, it did not delay the rapid collapse of the Qian army.

The light cavalry of the Jin army on both wings could no longer suppress the Qian army. In order to prevent the Qian army from disrupting their own army formation, the leading marching Mouke was about to retreat, but he heard a burst of rapid drumbeats behind him.

This is the sound of drums urging the attack.

The marching Mouke knew that Wendun Hunyu meant to drive out the fleeing soldiers and attack the Tianping army.

But the Tianping Army had already deployed its horizontal formation, and it used the Jurchens' usual method of combining cavalry with infantry, and repeatedly attacking the formation. How could this marching Mouke not know how powerful this was?
If they attack now, they will most likely be entangled by the Tianping Army's cavalry and be dealt with easily by the infantry that arrive later.

However, military orders are as firm as a mountain, so there is no room for bargaining.
A total of 200 light cavalry rushed forward, like a big net catching swimming fish, and caught more than a thousand soldiers in it, and then carried these soldiers to smash towards the Tianping Army.

"Xin Wenyuan! Lead the infantry forward! No one is allowed to stop until I say so!"

After Xin Qiji said this loudly, without waiting for Xin Wenyuan's response, he led his fifty armored cavalry guards out of the crowd and suddenly rushed out through a gap where the signing army was moving forward.

Seeing that Xin Qiji's green rhinoceros flag had passed the chaotic Qian army, Geng Xing, who was on the left wing, did not dare to delay. He quickly led 200 armored cavalry to bypass the Qian army from the west, trying to attack the Jin army's light cavalry on the outside to respond to Xin Qiji's attack.

It can be said that Geng Xing achieved his goal.

The Jin army's light cavalry, which was in a dispersed formation, was about to be surrounded from the rear, and the leading marching officer was immediately at a loss.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should continue to disrupt the Qian army to hinder the Tianping army's formation, or to lead the army to retreat, Xin Qiji accelerated again, and almost alone, he rushed to the front of the marching Mouke without saying a word.

It's just too fast.

There was no time to escape or call for guards, so the marching Mouke could only brandish his long sword to resist.

Xin Qiji took advantage of the horse's speed, and the long spear in his right hand easily bypassed the obstruction of the long sword like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and directly stabbed it into the opponent's chest along the gap between the armor leaves. Then, relying on the horse's power, he picked up the marching Mouke on the spear tip and rushed forward like an angry big blue rhinoceros.

When passing by the flag bearer, Xin Qiji kept his right hand still, drew out the heavy sword with his left hand, and swung it lightly, not only cutting off the flagpole as thick as a bowl, but also knocking the flag bearer off his horse.

Before the Jin army's light cavalry had time to fall into confusion, they heard a burst of rapid horn sounds behind them. Their morale was boosted again, and they turned around and engaged in a chaotic battle with the Tianping army.

Geng Xing looked forward in astonishment. It turned out that when he led his troops to break away from the two wings and advance, a slightly smaller Meng'an flag of the Jin army also moved with it, as if it had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

The two big characters "Pusan" were written on the flag of the Jin army's Meng'an army.

Pushandong, the seventh general of the Wuxing Army, personally took the lead.
