Chapter 340: Escape

The Golden Vulture continued to flee towards the east, and thousands of his own soldiers followed him.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, but he felt cold all over.

The defeat was so fast that it was beyond his imagination!

On the one hand, he miscalculated, he thought that there were only 30,000 or 40,000 Han cavalry on the grassland, and who knew that there were more than 40,000 Han cavalry coming from Mayu Mountain over the mountains! The number of Han cavalry on the grassland has reached 80,000, which is an extremely huge force! Second, the strength of the Han people is also unexpected! In just six years, the Han people have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Jin Wushu still remembers that when he was in Guanshan, he attacked Tongguan and Chang'an, and the Yao family army that day was vulnerable, and later chased and killed Zhi Keqiu, Zhi Yanzhi and others, and the Zhe family army was also vulnerable! At that time, the Yao family army and the Zhejia army were already the strongest armies in the Song Dynasty, but now the strength of the Han cavalry he encountered was more than ten times that of the Yao family army and the Zhejia army!

"In six years, what has happened to the Han people? How could they grow so fast? The Golden Vulture muttered as he rode his horse.

Over the years, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Wushu and others have continued to send news that the strength of the Han people has increased greatly, but Jin Wushu didn't believe it at that time! He felt that the Han people would always be so weak and vulnerable, and he felt that only the Han people's intrigues were slightly more powerful. But now, he realized that he was very wrong.

The wind on the grassland was blowing, and the Golden Vulture felt trembling all over.

"The 180,000 army was destroyed here? How do I explain to the Emperor? How do I explain to my people? No, I can't just be willing to fail! Jin Wushu gritted his teeth and said secretly.

The sky gradually darkened, and the Golden Vulture and his party fled extremely fast, and they could no longer hear the shouts of killing behind them.

At this moment, they came to a high slope.

The Golden Vulture stopped here.

"Fourth Prince, why did we stop?" The commander of the pro-soldier asked.

"Go and gather the rout at once! We're going to continue the war with the Han people here! "Golden Vulture Dao.

The commander nodded, and at that moment, the soldiers of the Golden Vulture went in all directions, leading the rout here.

It was getting darker and darker, and at first there were still stars in the sky, but then the stars were no longer visible, and black clouds could be faintly seen.

Gradually, the rout came to the side of Jin Wushu, and Jin Wushu's face showed a happy expression.

An hour later, a light rain fell in the sky, and the number of defeated soldiers gathered around Jin Wushu reached 40,000! Golden vulture is overjoyed!

"Our 180,000-strong army, even if it is a temporary defeat, it is impossible for all of them to die! With such a half-day effort, even if 180,000 people stood there and let them slash and kill, they wouldn't be able to kill many people! Let's go back the same way now and save more of the rout! Jin Wushu laughed.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from the north!

Unlike the sound of horses' hooves scattered by the Jurchen and Khitan routs, the sound of horses' hooves from the north was unusually neat, rumbling on the grassland, and the earth seemed to be shaking!

"It's not good, it's Han!" The Khitans in the rout shouted one after another, and these Khitans immediately continued to flee into the distance!

The Khitans were like frightened birds, and they didn't have much sense of belonging to the Jin country, so they didn't want to fight again. Hearing the sound of Song Jun galloping, they had only one thought, and that was to escape!

"Damn it!" Jin Wushu was furious, he was about to order the Jurchens to fight a decisive battle with the Han people opposite, but at this moment, some Jurchens also began to flee!

Only a small number of the Jurchens under his command came from the Jurchen country, and more of them were savage Jurchens captured from the mountains! Those savage Jurchen are wild and untamable, and have no discipline! If the battlefield can be won, they will naturally be the icing on the cake, but if they are defeated, they will not have the determination to stay and fight to the death!

The sound of the bowstring vibrating sounded again, countless arrows fell from the sky, and there were bursts of screams from the side of the Golden Vulture!

"Fourth Prince, let's get out of here quickly!" The pro-soldier beside him spoke.

Jin Wushu was extremely resentful in his heart, but the number of Han cavalry on the opposite side was obviously very large, maybe one or two hundred thousand, and his men were now fleeing one after another, and it was impossible to defeat the other party.

At that moment, the golden vulture rode a war horse towards the east and continued to flee.

There were still twenty or thirty thousand defeated soldiers beside him, but just after walking five miles, another Han cavalry of thousands of people appeared, and a large number of defeated soldiers beside him fell!

******

By the time it arrived, the rain in the sky was even heavier, and the clothes on Jin Wushu's body had been wet, and the clothes of the soldiers beside him were naturally soaked.

At this moment, Jin Wushu didn't know where he was, and the surroundings had been quiet again.

"Come on, continue to gather the army!" Jin Wushu wiped the rain off his face and said.

The surrounding soldiers nodded.

At that moment, these pro-soldiers once again headed in all directions, and after about an hour, more than 20,000 defeated soldiers came to the side of the Golden Vulture.

"Fourth prince, we only have such a small number of people, do we still have to fight the Han people?" The pro-soldier commander said.

"Decisive battle! Naturally, it's going to be a decisive battle! Our forces are far superior to theirs, and this time we have only fallen for their machination! Let's go back and gather all the routs, and we can defeat them!" We Jurchens are the bravest and most noble race in heaven and on earth, and the Han people are by no means our opponents! The Han people are cowardly, incompetent, and vulnerable! They only have intrigues! The Golden Vulture laughed.

At this moment, even Jin Wushu himself didn't believe the so-called "cowardly and incompetent" words, he just cheered up the rout soldiers around him, and cheered himself up by the way.

The surrounding soldiers nodded their heads.

However, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the south!

The Song army actually appeared in their south!

Moreover, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the northeast, and it seemed that someone was approaching there!

These Jurchen and Khitan defeated soldiers stayed there all of a sudden, and their faces changed greatly.

"Let's go! Follow Prince Ben! Let's get out of here! The Golden Vulture shouted loudly.

He rushed to the east with a thousand of his own soldiers, and the countless routs behind him rushed towards the east with them.

Soon Jin Wushu encountered the Han cavalry from the south!

The sky was dark, and the five fingers on the grassland could not be seen, and even if there were torches at this time, they would have been extinguished by the rain!

The Han people on the opposite side first shot arrows here, and when Jin Wushu led his own soldiers to rush towards them, they went towards the wings and continued to shoot with bows and arrows! They didn't even have contact with the Jurchens, but relied on their riding skills and archery skills to constantly harass the Jurchens and Khitan routs!

Then, the Han cavalry from the northeast also encountered the Jurchen and Khitan routs.

The Jurchen and Khitan armies were in chaos, and Jin Wushu originally wanted to lead them to fight against the Song army, but those ordinary soldiers had long lost their morale.

Jin Wushu was extremely angry, he once again fled with his cavalry, and in the heavy rain, he faintly heard a hearty voice from behind, "The moon black geese fly high, fleeing in the night, wanting to chase away the light horsemen, and the heavy snow is full of bows and knives."

This is the last song of the Tang Dynasty, describing the heroic scene of the Han cavalry chasing the Xiongnu Shan Yu! At this moment, Song Jun is chasing the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, which is unusually consistent with this Tang poem!

Jin Wushu didn't understand what this meant, so he called a personal soldier beside him and asked. When you understand the meaning of this poem, you will vomit blood when you are angry. It's just that he didn't dare to stay, so he could only continue to move forward.

******

The sky gradually brightened, and the rain on the grassland stopped.

At this moment, within a radius of 100 miles, the forbidden army and the Huanqing army are constantly chasing and killing the Jurchen and Khitan routs.

They took an army or a division as a unit, with at least two or three thousand people as a team, and kept chasing them on the grassland.

Whenever they encountered the Jurchen and Khitan routs, they first shot with bows and arrows, and then charged.

Within a radius of 100 miles, rivers of blood flowed.

This place has become a real Shura field, and the Jurchen and Khitan armies have no morale, and they are just fleeing.

Occasionally, the Jurchen and Khitan armies will also gather, and whenever this time, the Han army will also make changes, and they will gather several armies with tens of thousands of troops to attack these gathered Jurchen and Khitan armies, defeat the Jurchen and Khitan armies again, and then continue to pursue and kill.

The weather on the steppe is changeable, the sun has risen, and the morning weather is hot again.

The Jurchen and Khitan routs were exhausted at the moment, and the war horses under their feet were already difficult to run.

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army and the Huanqing Army were also extremely tired, but at this moment, they were extremely excited to hunt down the enemy. They are both one man and two horses, and they are constantly changing rides, and their horsepower is better than each other's.

By the afternoon, there were not many remaining troops on the steppe.

Jin Wushu was constantly fleeing to the east, he was constantly gathering the rout, but every time the rout was gathered, the Han army would arrive again!

As the sun set, Jin Wushu stood on a high slope, followed by more than 5,000 defeated soldiers beside him.

Most of these more than 5,000 defeated soldiers are pure Jurchens! Although those Khitans and savage Jurchens also followed him along the way, after encountering several ambushes, they suffered heavy casualties, and few of them survived. In addition, pure Jurchen warriors had a larger number of horses, so they fled slightly faster.

Jin Wushu looked to the west, the remnant sun was like blood, and the grassland was in shambles! Countless of the routers were wounded and had died on the grassland when they ran.

He knew that his army was being slaughtered further to the west, but he had no way to rescue them!

He was lucky to be able to escape by himself.

Jin Wushu was naked, and at this moment he also had countless wounds on his body, a wound under his eye, and his face was covered with dust.

"What face shall I have to meet my people? What face to see the emperor, to see Zong Han, Zong Wang? What is the point of my life in this world? Jin Wushu looked up to the sky and roared, his face full of pain.

Since the founding of the country, there has never been such a defeat, and the 180,000-strong army has almost been wiped out.

He pulled out the scimitar at his waist and was about to slash it towards his neck, but the commander of the pro-soldier beside him had already noticed that something was wrong with the appearance of the golden vulture, and he had already pounced for the first time!

There was a crisp clang, and the scimitar in the hand of the golden vulture was knocked down by the commander, and the commander said, "Fourth prince!" We have only fallen for the enemy's machinations! Our Jin Kingdom is still extremely strong, we can defeat all the Han people, occupy all the territory of the Han people, and turn all the Han people into our slaves! Why should you? ”

Jin Wushu let out a long sigh, and his heart was extremely painful!

At this moment, the sound of a horn suddenly came again in the distance!

Hearing the sound of the horn, Jin Wushu and the soldiers beside him looked into the distance.

The sound of this horn was not issued by the Han cavalry, but by the Jurchen army.
