Chapter 1: The Awakening of Shin Wang...

  Wang Jin and Xiao Deli immediately calmed down, and after discussing with each other, they immediately divided their troops to attack. The vanguard of the cavalry that charged forward was like a flood hit by a giant stone, and it split into two parts in an instant, desperately rushing towards the two wings of the Jin army.

  The golden men's arrow array suddenly became dense, and the artillerymen of the Jin army mixed in with thunderbolt fireballs. Occasionally, rockets and fireballs collided, exploding immediately in mid-air. Amidst the flashing flames, a massive explosion shook heaven and earth.

  The Righteous Army cavalry suffered heavy casualties, most of whom were actually killed by the Jin army's arrows. The firearms that killed the Righteous Army soldiers only added up to a few dozen people, but the huge explosion sound also affected the morale of the Righteous Army. If it weren't for the female generals under Zhao Chen who were not pure and beautiful young girls or widows, they would often do ideological work on them. They looked down on those who escaped, and these Righteous Army cavalrymen all had thoughts of escaping.

  However, they cannot run. Some for revenge; some to avoid being labeled cowards by the female mobilization generals; some fear implicating their families in the liberated areas of the righteous army; some for their own face; some to climb up... anyway, not a single righteous army cavalryman escaped.

  The vanguard of the rebel cavalry became the target of the Jin army's slaughter. They charged forward, but were blocked by Guo's iron chariot array. Charging to both sides, they were intercepted by the Jin army's gun shield array. With no choice, they could only charge and kill the Han people's army on the wing of the Jin army. However, after the rebel generals and soldiers went through the baptism of firearms, although they did not flee, they were still fearful in their hearts, and their command was lost. Everyone rushed forward wildly, exhausting their strength to rush, colliding with each other, and becoming a chaotic mess, thus wasting the time for the battle charge.

  At this time, the Jin army's Han soldiers were also a bit confused. They had been tossed about all day and were originally very tired, but they still had to fight through the night. The sound of those frightening weapons in the hands of the Jin soldiers made their souls fly out of their bodies, and at first, they thought that these were the weapons of the rebel army. After all, everyone knew that firearms belonged to the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, the Han soldiers among the Jin army discovered that the firearms belonged to the Jin army, and at this time, they too were members of the Jin army.

  Facing the stagnant Golden Army composed of positive soldiers, Wang Jin and Xiao Deli immediately commanded their respective cavalry to charge towards the rear of the Golden Army's cavalry and the Han people's large array at the fastest speed.

  The Jin army's cavalry used a circular formation to meet the enemy, which could flexibly change formations and attack from any position. This not only blocked the enemy's charge but also destroyed their battle array, slowing down the enemy's advance. In fact, they were mainly intimidated by the Song army's chariot formation. During the defense of Dongjing Bianliang, Zong Ze relied on his war chariots to repel the Jin troops.

  It was because of the Song army's chariot array that the Jin army improved. The main force of the righteous army, the cavalry, did not slow down, although the earth-shaking explosion made them tremble with fear, and the war horses were also terrified and restless. But at this moment, they could not slow down, once slowed down, they would be unable to charge into the array, and if they couldn't charge into the array, they would be defeated by the Jin army instead of defeating them.

  The insurgent warriors, whether fearful or terrified, did not forget the words spoken by the mobilizing generals. King Zhao personally said that their homes were under the iron hooves of the Jin army. Their families might be captured by the Jin army and become the lowest slaves and tools for venting beastly desires. They must fight to the death for their own families, for their own homeland, for their own nation and country.

  Otherwise, once the Jin army occupied their homeland and captured their families, it would be endless suffering. Even their descendants would be enslaved for generations to come, with men serving as slaves and women as tools for satisfying lust.

  No matter what, the righteous army warriors absolutely cannot retreat and can only move forward to kill. At the same time, they also know that King Xīn is watching them from the main formation, watching their bravery. King Xīn said that the families of martyred soldiers will receive the title of Anti-Jin Hero Family, and their direct relatives will continue to receive a certain amount of food assistance in the future.

  Unlike other troops, General Xin had taken care of their aftermath. Since then, they didn't have to worry about their lives anymore. For General Xin! For our home! For our family! For our clan! For the country! They fought with all their might.

  The cavalry of the righteous army turned around, aiming their arrows at the Jin army's cavalry and the Han people's army. They first avoided the iron chariot array in front of the Jin army, waiting for an opening to attack the enemy's artillery army in the center.

  In the distance, Guo the medicine master saw the bravery of the Song army's cavalry and couldn't help but feel a tremble in his heart. He suddenly felt a kind of inner turmoil. Was it possible that an army of several hundred thousand could be defeated by just a few thousand Jin soldiers? How did he feel that they were a powerful army, even rivaling the elite troops of the Jin, with a bravery that seemed to have traversed hundreds or thousands of years from the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties? It was as if the heroic Han cavalry had suddenly appeared before him. For the sake of the passionate oath "My great Han will surely punish you though we are far away", they were willing to sacrifice their lives, shed blood, and stand up straight with their backs bone, living up to the spirit of the Han men.

  After a long while, Guo the medicine master finally came back to his senses. He shook his head and shook off some of the thoughts that shouldn't be in his mind. The awakened him suddenly discovered that the righteous army cavalry had turned its attack direction towards its own Han people's military and the cavalry on the flank. He immediately ordered each army to change formation, shrink and resist the enemy.

  The golden man changed formation, a ferocious tiger suddenly retracted its claws and teeth, shrinking back to form a turtle with a hard shell. At this time, the fire-throwing cart moved again, aiming its shooting direction at the retreating righteous army cavalry, another round of crazy bombardment.

  "Hum, hum, hum......" The cavalry was screaming in the explosion, flesh and blood flying everywhere. But they still charged forward, killing the Golden Army's cavalry and the Han army.

  The cavalry's attack and kill, this made the main force of the righteous army's morale suddenly rise, and they charged forward to attack the front of the Jin army's formation. In order to give the cavalry a chance to defeat the Jin army, under the leadership of Xinfeng Zhao Chen and the new fierce general Meng Shou, their attack became even more fierce.

  But immediately, the intense explosion sounds like a landslide and earthquake made the entire battlefield tremble. The explosion was too terrifying, the huge sound waves entered the ears, as if the bloody beast was tearing its body alive, making people suffer unbearable pain, making their liver and gallbladder burst.

  The majority of the rebel soldiers had never heard such a sound before, and everyone was shocked. But their enemies were even more terrified, the Jin army Han people subconsciously thought that the Song Dynasty's Righteous Army had used some kind of powerful firework, and immediately fell into chaos.

  Because of Zhao Song's identity, the various generals recommended that he not go to the forefront of the two armies to fight. Jokingly, even if you are a powerful enemy, there will be times when you make mistakes. What if something goes wrong and General Wang is gone? Then what's the point of everyone else being here? In the future, there will still be opportunities for territorial officials, promotion and wealth, driving out the Jin dogs, and recovering our rivers and mountains. So now Zhao Song is honestly commanding in the central army. At this time, the vanguard army under Liang Xing's command decisively implemented division, encirclement, persuasion to surrender, and annihilation against the Han people's army! His attack was fierce, like a raging storm, giving those Han people's army no time to breathe.

  The Han army could not withstand the attack and gradually fell into chaos. The Han generals who were directing the battle at the front knew that their own troops could no longer hold on, let alone believe in the nonsense of those Jurchen generals beside them about holding out for reinforcements.

  Zhao Kuangyi is not an ordinary little hero, let alone his identity as the King of Song. Just look at his military achievements, they are astonishing! The tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Pu family, the over 10,000-strong army led by Wanyan Wen, the nearly 40,000-strong army of Xiao Gan, and the armies of various cities, etc., etc. All the Jin troops who fought against King Zhao Kuangyi were defeated and annihilated, like fallen flowers and flowing water. Many famous Jin generals also died in battle on the front lines of the two armies.

  Many achievements can be seen that King Zhao Kun is very powerful, absolutely not comparable to his captured emperor father and emperor brother. Looking at the present, although the Jin army has strong firearms, the righteous army's cavalry fought hard and unexpectedly launched an attack from behind their own back. The Jin army's troops are now actually surrounded by tens of thousands of righteous army cavalry under the city. And was entangled by a group of rebels who killed from the west mountain again, unable to rescue themselves.

  What's even more deadly is that King Xian of Zhao used some sort of magic, causing the entire battlefield to crack and shatter. So a group of Han soldiers who didn't understand what was going on didn't think twice and directly broke through or ran away, managing to escape as many as they could.

  At this moment, the Han army is in disarray, but it can still hold on, after all, it has more than 40,000 people. The Xinyang army surrounding them has only 35,000 people and has no advantage in numbers. It is precisely because these 35,000 people are all elite soldiers that they can achieve great results in battle.

  However, the gap in numbers is actually irreparable. As long as the Han army resists strongly and holds on for a few hours, there will be no problem at all. Unfortunately, the Han army has been treated unfairly by the Jin people, and coupled with Zhao Song's sinister plan, they are already exhausted and hungry.

  They themselves were not strong-willed and surrendered to the Jin army, now they are even more desperate to escape. The Han military leaders abandoned their soldiers. The Han soldiers who had lost command were already short of morale, and now they fell into chaos. Then they fought separately, and soon they were completely divided by the righteous army, thoroughly surrounded by a small number of people.

  The Righteous Army's forces were limited, and they were busy with the division and encirclement, so they turned a blind eye to those small groups of enemy troops who were desperately trying to break through. As long as you have the ability to escape, then hurry up and run away, don't stay here and need to fight against you. Many Jurchen and Han Chinese generals escaped in this way. They fled with their guards, and the Han army was completely finished. Soon, large numbers of Han soldiers began to surrender.

  The Han army was either fleeing or surrendering, and was almost defeated in a very short period of time. The Han and Khitan artillerymen behind them were overjoyed, they were worried that no one would take the lead to escape, since someone took the lead, what else to hesitate about, run! "Boom..." Suddenly, many people turned around and rushed out of the Jin army's defense zone to escape.

  Seeing the situation was already lost, Wanyan Zhen, who had rushed to the front line to command, could only turn his horse's head and flee. "Sound the horn, tell Guo Jing that the Han army has been defeated, ask him to support quickly, hurry..."

  As the Han army was defeated, Zhao Ke immediately ordered all troops to cover up and rush straight into the enemy's central army. Drums and horns sounded together, and various righteous armies advanced simultaneously, with the momentum of a river breaking through a dike, violently colliding with the Jin army's central army.

  At this time, the righteous army cavalry also began to coordinate with the infantry's attack. Only to see that Wang Jin's war horse stood up straight, his body suspended in mid-air, his battle knife flying, and he shouted loudly: "Attack, kill, go up and kill...!"

  Wang Jin and Xiao Deli continuously changed formations, sometimes attacking head-on, sometimes striking left or right, sometimes launching a triple-pronged attack, and sometimes taking turns attacking. From start to finish, the offensive was like a tidal wave, with each wave higher than the last. The bugles of the righteous army's cavalry resounded through the sky, the commander-in-chief led by example, and the soldiers' morale was high as a rainbow, fighting to the death without retreating.

  Facing the Song army's cavalry, Guo Yao Shi is now in a state of trepidation. He can hardly imagine how the rebel cavalry could maintain their vigor and continue to attack under the intense bombardment of artillery fire and arrow showers. What kind of courage does this require? What kind of unyielding willpower?

  Not to mention the several thousand Jin troops chasing after the tens of thousands of fleeing Song army, even if it were the Jin army that was suddenly and heavily attacked, and suffered a crushing blow from the terrifying weapons, they would not be able to withstand it. As for the Great Song army, which had long since rotted away at its roots, it had already collapsed and fled in all directions.

  The King of Xin has such an army, how can he not win battles? The King of Xin has such a strong army, how can he not conquer the world? Such an army, if it is extremely numerous, what can the surrendered state of Jin use to resist?

  The artillery troops composed of Han and Khitan people were either ineffective or fled together with the Han army. The power of firearms had already weakened. Fire arrows, fire lances, and thunderclap bombs were also becoming less frequent.

  The rebel cavalry, apart from being caught off guard and suffering heavy casualties in the initial attack, began to regroup. They did not panic after their initial defeat. All the cavalrymen, under the command of Wang Jin and Xiao De, quickly adjusted their strategy and continued to press on with the attack, like a pack of fierce tigers surrounding their prey, even though they were wounded, they refused to let go.

  The central army and two wings of the Golden Army were composed of more than 10,000 soldiers from various ethnic groups. This was the main force defending Zhending, the absolute main force garrisoning Zhending Prefecture.

  Although the soldiers were not yet familiar with the formation, they were able to hold on because of the existence of the artillery. Without this terrible weapon to attack and kill the righteous army cavalry, it would be difficult for them to gain time to change formations, let alone withstand the impact of the righteous army cavalry.

  The artillery troops, composed of Han and Khitan people, began to flee. Although the Jurchen soldiers intercepted them, they did not dare to slaughter them indiscriminately. These artillery troops were different from other Han and Khitan troops; they possessed special skills that made each one's death a loss for the Jin state. Therefore, they were only driven away, not killed.

  But as soon as the artillery fire of the cannon troops stopped, the righteous army cavalry began to charge. With the righteous army cavalry attacking, they came up like fierce tigers, trampling over the bodies of the dead, fighting fiercely and bloodily, and refusing to retreat.

  At this time, Zhao Kui personally led the various generals to launch a fierce attack on the Jin army's central army, while the cavalry launched a strong attack from the flank of the Jin army. Both sides had already formed a pincer movement against the Jin army. Victory was within sight.

  "Boom……" The dragon wolf cavalry charged in like a flood, heavily crashing into the Golden Army's disordered battle formation. The dull sound of the two armies colliding was like opening the gates of hell, and in an instant the sky was filled with Golden Soldiers and Righteous Army men and horses sent flying. Following that, heads flew through the air, severed limbs fell like scattered leaves, as a fierce gust swept across the ground, rising and falling unpredictably, dancing wildly in the sky.

  The entire battlefield was filled with a bloody smell, and the ground flowed with thick red liquid. The whole battlefield presented a hellish scene of blood rain and flesh flying everywhere.

  At this time, Zhao Yun no longer cared about the advice of other generals who did not go to the front line to kill. He led his troops by example, with a long spear like a dragon, roaring and devouring the enemy's life.

  Zhao Xiaodao and Meng Shou led a group of loyal guards from the Wang's personal camp, like startled wolves on the prairie, fearing that Zhao Chen would be injured. One by one, they galloped their horses, slaughtered the Jin army, and resisted the enemy for the king, with unyielding determination.

  Xiao Deli led five thousand fierce cavalrymen, galloping wildly, shouting and clashing in battle. On the battlefield, long spears stood like forests, long knives rose like mountains. Amidst the chaos, red blood rained down like a storm.

  "Kill, kill...! Kill the Golden Dog!" The Jin army fought back fiercely, but they were like small grass in a stormy rain, and could be overwhelmed at any time. When the righteous army saw that the Jin soldiers couldn't hold on, one by one, they suddenly burst out with astonishing strength.

  "Surround and kill the commander of the Golden Dog!" Xiao Deli and a group of barbarian soldiers glared with anger, their voices thundering as they charged forward to their deaths.

  Wanyan Zhen and Guo Jing retreated in disarray. The sudden reversal of the battle situation made Guo Jing lose his composure and calmness, he could hardly believe that Xiangyang's army far exceeded any army of the Great Song Dynasty.

  Xin Wang's army was extremely powerful, which not only caught him off guard but also led his army to a catastrophic defeat. Things on the battlefield change in an instant; one moment the Jin army was waiting for victory and preparing to make a final effort to pursue and destroy the enemy, and the next they had fallen into a deep abyss, defeated by the righteous army's fierce counterattack.

  Like a dam bursting under the pressure of floodwaters, the Jin army began to collapse under the pincer attack from both sides. In previous battles, the Han troops of the Jin army had been slaughtered by the rebel forces and were either fleeing or surrendering, with barely one in a hundred surviving. Now the central army of the Jin was also suffering heavy casualties under the dual attacks from front and rear.

  Tens of thousands of brave warriors of the righteous army fought hard to kill the Jin soldiers, like withering leaves and crumbling branches, all who resisted perished. Zhao Yun raised his head and saw that the main banner of the Jin army was in front of him, the red lanterns were dazzling, several piles of raging fires surrounded it, illuminating the golden national flag as bright as daylight.

  But unlike Zhao Jun's bravery, Guo Jing and Wanyan Zhen were leading the imperial guards to retreat with the large flag.

  As the enemy soldiers around them grew more numerous, the golden army's commander flag in the distance seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Zhao Ke fiercely threw his long spear out, at this time Wanyan Zhen heard the sounds of battle suddenly weaken, turned his head back to look.

  A long spear fell from the sky. As fast as lightning, before he could react. The sharp blade of the spear had already been nailed into his back armor and pierced his body. A severe pain suddenly struck. Wanyan Zhen opened his mouth to let out a miserable cry, and then was thrown off his horse by the huge inertia of the long spear.
