Chapter 235 The Fleeing Golden Wushu

As soon as Wu Shu finished speaking, the battle supervisor from the front had already arrived.

"Report! Deputy Marshal, North Gate...North Gate Song Army...Song Army suddenly dispatched a cavalry to attack our army!"

Wu Shu was slightly startled.

North Gate Song Army?

Isn't the North Gate under siege?

Wu Shu immediately went up to the handsome platform and looked over.

As expected, he saw that his soldiers were in turmoil.

Wu Shu frowned tightly, and when he looked over carefully, he saw that someone was indeed fleeing backwards.

His whole body was shaken and he almost fell.

"How can it be!"

Jin Wushu's expression changed drastically.

Cavalry coming out of the north gate?

These Song troops are crazy!

How dare that Yue Fei send out his cavalry from the north gate!

How dare he fight like this!

Naturally, Wu Shu was on guard. The left and right wings of the army were guarded against the Song Army's cavalry coming out from east and west to attack the flanks of the army.

As for cavalry dispatching from the north gate, this possibility was directly rejected by Wu Shu.

Because no commander would fight like this. This is simply letting the cavalry die in vain.

Rather than doing this, it is better to keep it.

But that's exactly what Yue Fei did.

It directly penetrated the depth of the Jin Army, causing a major collapse of the Jin Army.

Moreover, Yue Fei took the lead and completely inspired the fighting spirit of this cavalry.

Wu Shu hurriedly came down and shouted: "Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!"

Han Chang was puzzled: "Deputy Marshal..."

"Quickly retreat!" Wu Shu's face turned pale.

What a rout!

The 20,000 siege vanguard were defeated like a mountain. After they dispersed, they would inevitably have a fatal impact on the main force of the Chinese army behind them.

Once there is a larger-scale chaos, the Song army will inevitably go out of the city for a decisive battle, and then it will really be over!

Li Cheng immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Deputy Marshal, give the last general 3,000 men! The last general only needs 3,000 men to cut off the deputy marshal's rear!"

"Okay! I will give you three thousand elite troops, and you will be the one to seize the throne!"

"I have received my order. If I can't cut off the rear, I will come and see you!" Li Cheng said decisively, with a fierceness that would not give up until he achieved his goal. There were even blue veins popping out on his forehead.

He took Wu Shu's token, turned around and left.

Before leaving, Han Chang glared at him.

Li Cheng didn't say anything, he immediately went to pick up three thousand elites.

At this time, the main camp of the Jin Army began to retreat rapidly.

However, the three thousand people named by Li Cheng actually did not want to fight anymore and wanted to withdraw.

Li Cheng beheaded ten people on the spot who said they wanted to withdraw, and there were even some Jurchen Muke among them.

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!" He roared loudly, like a vicious wolf.

No one else spoke.

Li Cheng shouted again: "Listen to my order! Everyone who comes in front is an enemy and will be killed without mercy!"

"Archers prepare!"

The Jin Army archers began to draw their bows.

The large-scale Jin Army soldiers at the front had already discarded their armor.

They ran back, but the main force retreated, and Li Chengdu's army gave them bows and arrows.

Li Cheng's purpose was not to let these people disrupt the main army before the army withdrew, otherwise the whole army would really collapse.

Suddenly, hundreds of arrows shot up from the ground, forming a black rain of arrows and began to harvest the lives of the Jin army running over.

When those Jin soldiers saw that they couldn't run this way, they quickly changed directions.

They screamed miserably and desperately.

The Song Army's armored cavalry did not stop.

Each one of them had their eyes set on red blood, rolling towards this direction, and soon met Li Chengbu.

The two sides immediately started fighting, with Li Cheng taking the lead, followed by his cronies.

It must be said that Li Cheng was extremely fierce. To a large extent, he stabilized the chaos and delayed the Song army's attack on the main Wushu army.

However, it is difficult for him to change the overall situation with just three thousand people.

The fleeing Jin army fled back like a tide.

It was now impossible for Wu Shu's main force to form an army and withdraw, let alone to assemble a counterattack.

The great rout finally came.

There is no way for the kidnappers and the Iron Buddha to assemble again.

Wu Shu himself, surrounded by his personal guards, wanted to retreat quickly before the Song army came out of the city to pursue him.

Who knows how many main forces of the Song Army are still in Xuzhou City?

Now, he finally felt what it was like to be Zongfu.

The Song Army infantry in the city also chased them out one after another.

This battle lasted from morning until almost evening, and then slowly subsided.

Corpses were strewn outside the city of Xuzhou, and flags and weapons that had fallen to the ground were scattered everywhere.

There are still Jin Jun who are not dead, screaming in the pile of dead people.

The Song army was not much better.

Two thousand cavalrymen attacked the Jin army's siege brigade. Their flesh and blood turned into sharp swords, and they penetrated deeply without risking their lives.

Among the piles of dead people in front, there were Song Army cavalry and even war horses with their legs broken, being crushed by the dead and dying.

Yue Fei led a group of people back.

The blood solidified on the armor, and the man looked like a bloody man.

A gust of autumn wind swept by, carrying the pungent smell of blood.

The Battle of Xuzhou ended with the collapse of Jin Wushu's 80,000-strong army.

Unfortunately, the Song army did not have enough cavalry, so they could only defeat the Jin army through surprise attacks, causing a great rout, but they could not effectively annihilate the enemy.

He could only watch Jin Wushu escape.

This is the shortcoming caused by the lack of cavalry.

Looking at the overall situation, at this stage, the Song Dynasty is still defending. Even if it wins many times, it is still defending.

The fundamental reason is that there is no large-scale cavalry legion, and there is no field legion that can really confront the Jin Army head-on in a big battle.

In fact, this was also the case in history. It was not until Yue Fei truly grew up that the Southern Song Dynasty had the strength to fight the Jin army head-on.

At that time, the Jin Kingdom had to admit that it could not destroy the Song Dynasty, so Wu Shu cut off Yue Fei politically.

Therefore, an army that cannot fight in the field cannot be called a truly powerful force.

On September 24, the second day of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Jin Kingdom went to Beijing.

Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai summoned Hebule, the Khan of the Mongol Khanate, and Weiming Anhui, the Prime Minister of Western Xia, at the palace in Shangjing.

Winning over the Mongol people and managing the grasslands like the Liao Dynasty has always been what the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom wanted to do.

But the Mongol people obviously don't get along well with the Jurchens in the Black Water and White Mountains.

One is a nomadic people, and the other is a farming, fishing and hunting people. The habits, culture, and cognition of both sides have great potential.

As for Xixia, it is also someone that the Jin Kingdom has always wanted to win over.

The Kingdom of Jin has always believed that in order to take the land of Shaanxi, it is necessary to form an alliance with Xixia. Even if Xixia is nearby and does nothing, it will be fine as long as it does not come out to bite people at critical moments.

After drinking for three rounds, Wanyan Wu begged to buy and said with a smile: "Hebulehan, how are you? Are you still used to my Daikin's wine and meat?"

Hebule said: "The wine and meat are delicious, thank you for your hospitality!"

Wanyan Zongpan on the side suddenly asked: "Hebule Khan, I heard that the Yelv Stone is where you are?"

"Dashi Linya and I have met a few times, but that was all last year."

Wanyan Zongpan added: "Yelü Dashi is the key criminal that I, Dajin, want to arrest. I hope Hebulehan can cooperate with me, Dajin."

Hebule smiled and said: "What can Daijin give Ben Khan?"

"I, Dajin, have millions of powerful soldiers!"

Hebule smiled again and said: "I heard that your country went south to fight the Song Dynasty this year and suffered a defeat?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly solidified.

After a moment of silence, Wanyan Wu Qimai burst into laughter: "Hebule Khan, what you know is only one of them. I tell you that within two months, Song Dynasty will send his envoys to profess peace."
