Wanyan Lou sat in the big tent, his brows furrowed, and his expression was solemn. The news from the scouts was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty led by Zhao Yingluo had approached less than twenty miles.

He knew in his heart that it was too late to rush to Huanzhou to deploy at this moment, and only by facing the head-on attack could he have a glimmer of life.

However, Wanyan Lou also knew that his army was already exhausted and demoralized after a day's rapid march. It is undoubtedly difficult to set up a position to confront Zhao Yingluo's elite soldiers at this moment.

At this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came, and I saw a scout rushing into the big tent covered in blood, panting and reporting: "General Qiyu, Zhao Yingluo's cavalry has been killed outside the camp, and our army's formation is in chaos and cannot be resisted!" ”

Wanyan Lou Room was shocked when he heard this, stood up suddenly, and shouted: "Quick! Pass the order down, and the whole army will fight! Be sure to resist Zhao Yingluo's offensive! ”

However, as soon as Wanyan Lou's order was issued, Zhao Yingluo's cavalry had already rushed into the Jin army camp like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The soldiers of the Song Army fought bravely one by one, and the swords and guns in their hands flashed with cold light, stabbing the throats of the soldiers of the Jin Army.

Wanyan Lou's army was already a tired army, but at this moment, it was even more rushed by Zhao Yingluo's cavalry, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance.

Wan Yan Lou saw that the general trend had gone, and although his heart was full of grief and indignation, he also knew when he would not break through at this moment.

He waved the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly to his personal soldiers and entourage: "Follow me to break through!" With that, he led thousands of cavalry and rushed out of the camp.

Wanyan Lou led thousands of cavalry to run wildly all the way, for fear that Zhao Yingluo's army would catch up.

However, after fleeing for twenty miles, they suddenly encountered another large army, the elite of the Song army led by Wang Zaixing.

Wanyan Lou Room complained bitterly in his heart, and secretly said that today is really a death for me! However, after all, he is a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles, and although he is in a desperate situation at the moment, he does not have the slightest panic.

He waved the long knife in his hand and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Warriors! Kill the enemy with me! As he spoke, he took the lead in rushing towards Wang Zaixing's army.

The two armies suddenly fought together, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Although Wanyan Lou was extremely brave and strong, the soldiers around him were exhausted and demoralized; However, Wang Zaixing's army has been recuperating for a long time and has high morale. Therefore, it didn't take long for the army of Yan Lou's room to begin to retreat one after another, suffering heavy casualties.

Wanyan Lou himself was captured by Wang Zaixing's generals in a fierce battle.

Zhao Yingluo was overjoyed when she got the news that Wan Yan Lou was captured, and she immediately ordered Wan Yan Lou to be escorted to her. while

When Wanyan Lou was escorted to Zhao Yingluo, he still looked indomitable, stared at Zhao Yingluo and said, "If you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect!" Don't want me to surrender! ”

Zhao Yingluo smiled slightly and said, "I won't kill you, I want you to watch your Dajin Kingdom fall little by little." ”

Zhao Yingluo's army and Wang Zaixing's army also smoothly converged.

The two armies rushed to the city of Huanzhou like a torrent, surrounding the weak city of the Jin country.

The soldiers of the Jin army in the city were shocked when they saw this, and they knew that they had fallen into a desperate situation.

It didn't take long for the army of Zhao Yingluo and Wang Zaixing to break through Huanzhou City and annihilate all the Jin soldiers in the city.

Outside Xingzhou City, Wanyan Zonghan sat in the big tent with a solemn expression.

The atmosphere in the tent was so oppressive that it was breathless, and the ministers lowered their heads and hands, not daring to make the slightest sound.

The news of Wanyan Lou's defeat was like a boulder pressing on everyone's hearts, making them unable to raise their heads.

Wanyan Zonghan took a deep breath and tried to calm the fluctuations in his heart.

He knew that as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he had to make a quick decision at this moment, otherwise the army would fall into a more passive situation.

He looked around and saw that the ministers were all frightened, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in his heart.

"General Yan Lou was defeated, and the army of the Western Road has been completely annihilated." Wanyan Zonghan said in a deep voice, revealing an unconcealable grief in his voice, "The Eastern Route army has also suffered heavy losses and cannot fight again. Now it is impossible for us to defeat the Great Song. ”

After saying this, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but sigh.

He knew what the defeat of this war meant to the Kingdom of Jin, which was endless shame and loss.

However, he also knew that holding on at the moment would only make the losses worse.

"Order the mid-lane army to withdraw." Wanyan Zonghan spit out this sentence with difficulty, as if every word weighed like a thousand catties, "We must preserve our strength and wait for the next opportunity." ”

Hearing this order, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that if they continued to fight, they would have no chance of winning, and that they would only let more soldiers die in vain.

However, the decision to withdraw the troops made them feel extremely bitter and helpless.

Wanyan Zonghan stood up and walked out of the big tent. He looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds, as if indicating the gloom of the future of the Jin Kingdom.

An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, which was the unwillingness to fail and the confusion about the future.

Outside the big tent, the soldiers of the Jin State were busy packing up and preparing to withdraw their troops.

Their faces are full of exhaustion and loss, and the once heroic ambitions have long been worn out by the brutal war.

When Wanyan Zonghan walked past the soldiers, he saw the confusion and helplessness in their eyes.

He knew that these soldiers had made great efforts and sacrifices for the glory and interests of the Golden Kingdom; At the moment, however, they had to face the reality of defeat and the order to withdraw their troops. This kind of helplessness and loss made Wanyan Zonghan's heart even heavier.

At this moment, a young general walked up to Wan Yan Zonghan, "Your Majesty, are we really withdrawing our troops like this?" I'm not reconciled! The soldiers of our Jin Kingdom are brave and invincible, how could they lose to those weak Great Song people? ”

Wanyan Zonghan looked at the young general, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He knew that this general represented the voice of the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom; They are unwilling to admit defeat and withdraw their troops. However, as a manager; But he has to think about the big picture.

"Young people, war is not child's play." Wanyan Zonghan said in a deep voice, "Our soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are indeed brave and invincible; But war is not won or lost only by courage and force. ”

The young general fell silent after listening to Yan Zonghan's words.

Wanyan Zonghan patted the young general's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, young man. The war was lost though; But the courage and determination of our soldiers of the Golden Kingdom have not been defeated. We must learn from our failures and sum up our experiences; Wait for the next chance to strike again! I believe that in the future, we will be able to defeat the Great Song Dynasty and unify the Central Plains! ”

With the withdrawal of the army in the middle of the route, the order was given; The soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner.
