The cavalry of the Jin army was so close that it was too late to meet the enemy in formation or quickly enter Jiankang City, so they had to resist hard.

"What a failure!" Yao Gezhong sighed and said loudly: "Order, the whole army and horses immediately meet the enemy." ”

"Soldiers, meet the enemy, kill the ......" The large army under the command of Yao Gezhong divided into two routes, killing in the east and west directions, and the Zhao army, which had fled all the way, also stopped, and turned around to fight with the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

At this time, more than 1,000 Zhao soldiers standing on the north gate of Jiankang City became extremely embarrassed, they heard the order to meet the enemy, but they fought hard to take the city gate, just give up, they were a little unwilling.

"Camp master, the cavalry of the Jin army is fierce, even if the main force of our whole army is gathered, it may not be able to defeat it, but I am afraid that after our army leaves the city, it will never be able to recapture the city wall, this is the soldiers who fought hard to take it!" One of the team members was looking at the shape outside the city and said loudly.

The Zhao army camp owner frowned, standing on the city wall, he saw the shape outside the city very clearly, the Jin army's more than 10,000 cavalry was violent, and his own troops were in a weak position, and after a long siege of the city, he was exhausted, and the rout was almost a foregone conclusion, even if more than 1,000 people and horses under his command went out of the city to help the battle, it could not change the balance of strength, since the defeat was a foregone conclusion, it was better to make a desperate bet to turn things around.

"Why don't we gamble and go all out to enter the palace of the Jin Kingdom, as long as we catch their little emperor, the Jin army outside the city will not be afraid." The Zhao military camp master looked at several generals beside him and said loudly.

"Camp master, I'm in favor of attacking the Jin Palace."

"Camp master, I agree with it too."

Although it was disobedience, his subordinates strongly agreed.

"Okay, soldiers, let's go all out to the palace and capture the little emperor of the Jin Kingdom." The Zhao military camp lord shouted, then pulled out his weapon and ran towards the city.

"Kill the palace, kill the palace." The subordinates followed one after another and killed in the direction of the imperial palace of the Jin Kingdom.

#####

Outside the city, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army collided with Yao Gezhong's main force, although the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were already a little tired after a long march, but the Zhao army that continued to attack the city was also tired, and there was not much difference between the two sides in terms of the soldiers' body and energy.

In terms of troops, Yao Gezhong was at a disadvantage, with Yao Xiang leading 6,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Wang Liu's army, Yao Gezhong's men and horses were only less than 8,000 men and horses, and then more than 1,000 people entered Jiankang City and lost hundreds of soldiers in battle, and reduced the soldiers and horses beside him to more than 6,000 people, and there were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses who retreated from the east and west gates.

Moreover, the Northern Expeditionary Army was all cavalry, but Yao Gezhong's soldiers and horses were complete with cavalry, infantry, and siege soldiers.

"Soldiers, attack and kill with all your might, rush." Hua An shouted loudly to boost the morale of his soldiers.

The Northern Expeditionary Army already had the upper hand, and under the encouragement of the main general Hua'an, its morale increased greatly, and it did its best to launch a strong attack on the Zhao army in front of it.

"Warriors, resist me, resist me, kill ......" Yao Gezhong was very confident in the combat power of his soldiers, and loudly encouraged his subordinates to fight bravely.

Inspired by Yao Gezhong, the Zhao soldiers also fought bravely, trying to block the onslaught of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, trying to stabilize the defensive line, and then further launched a counterattack.

Seeing that the Zhao army was still resisting quite bravely when it was obviously at a disadvantage, Hua An couldn't help but admire it in his heart, the Zhao army was fierce and good at fighting, which was not comparable to the ordinary Jin army.

"Pro-barracks, follow the general to open a hole and kill ......" Hua An raised the glaive knife in his hand and personally led the soldiers of the pro-barracks to kill the defense line of the Zhao army.

Hua An rushed to the front, and the soldiers of the pro-military battalion behind him followed closely.

"Kill, kill ......" Hua An slashed left and right, and with every swing of the knife, a Zhao soldier was slashed to death, and the soldiers of the pro-military battalion beside him also rushed to kill with all their might.

Soon, under the personal impact of Hua'an, the defense line of the Zhao army was torn open a big hole, and the subsequent cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army entered from this opening, cutting the Zhao army's defense line into two sections, and then, the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army galloped back and forth, slashing and killing the soldiers of the Zhao army with all their might.

Under the strong attack of the thunderstorm, the Zhao army brigade facing the west was also defeated, and the three hundred thunderbolt cars that were neatly arranged were all chopped into firewood by the angry thunderstorm soldiers, and the Zhao soldiers who were responsible for operating these thunderbolt vehicles were not spared, except for a small number of escapers, most of them were killed.

Seeing that the army under his command could not withstand the impact of the Jin cavalry and was completely defeated, Yao Gezhong was very disappointed, he looked in the direction of the north gate of Jiankang City, hoping that the more than 1,000 people who attacked Jiankang City could kill from the back of the Jin cavalry, so as to rescue the main force of soldiers and horses, but the fact made him very desperate, more than 1,000 subordinates who attacked Jiankang City were nowhere to be found, with Yao Gezhong's intuition, this group of men and horses must have made their own decisions and went to attack the palace of the Jin Kingdom.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats." Seeing that his soldiers and horses had no power to return to the sky, Yao Gezhong gave the order to withdraw his troops.

"Retreat, retreat." The generals under Yao Gezhong's command shouted loudly and let his soldiers retreat quickly.

Under the orders of the generals, thousands of Zhao troops abandoned their armor and retreated to the northwest, where there was a small forest, using the woods as cover, they could quickly get rid of the pursuit of the Jin cavalry.

"The Zhao army is defeated, pursue and kill the Zhao army, kill the ......" Seeing that the Zhao army broke and fled, the generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army issued orders to pursue one after another.

For a time, the soldiers of the Zhao army fled in front, and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army pursued behind, and the shouts of killing and wailing spread throughout the wilderness.

After chasing for hundreds of steps, a group of men and horses led by Hua An converged with the army under the command of Thunderstorm, and the Zhao army's team had fled into the dense forest of the Black Hole.

"Big brother, Zhao Jun entered the woods, whether to continue the pursuit." Thunderstorm asked loudly.

Hua An looked at the surroundings and said softly: "Forget it, poor Kou Mo chase." ”

"General, not far to the north, there seem to be two armies of men and horses fighting." One of the generals pointed to the north and said.

Hua'an looked up and saw that a few miles to the north, there were indeed two teams of men and horses fighting bloodily, intuitively, Hua'an felt that this must be the Wang Sixth Army fighting against the Zhao army, which also confirmed Hua'an's previous doubts, that is, Yao Gezhong's nearly 20,000 horses, why there were so many less.
