"It's King Linyi!"
Many soldiers in the Song Army recognized Zhao Tai and couldn't help talking about it and stopped.
For a moment, without any orders from the officers, the advancing Song army actually stopped amidst screams of surprise.
Zhao Tai has a high prestige among the Song army. Although many people are in the Song camp, they recognize Zhao Tai and feel that he is a hero who was framed by treacherous ministers.
Although Zhao Tai beat them badly last time, Song Jun did not hate Zhao Tai, but admired Zhao Tai even more.
At this time, Zhao Tai rode out of the camp alone, which was undoubtedly a show of goodwill to the soldiers of Song Dynasty. The soldiers of Song Dynasty who had been captured by Zhao Tai and conquered by Zhao Tai's personality and charm all stopped.
As soon as they stopped, the other Song soldiers around them looked around and then stopped.
Zhao Tai observed with a telescope in the camp and found that the main formation was the Huai army. He also understood the intention of the Song army commander, which was to use the Huai army's attack to cover other Song armies' westward breakout.
However, the Song army was making a futile effort. He had already sent troops and horses to the west bank to block it.
The current actions of the commander-in-chief of the Song Army have no beneficial effect except causing huge casualties to the Song Army.
Zhao Tai saw the Song army pressing towards the Qi army. After convincing his generals, he rode up to the Song army.
At this time, half of the Song troops who went to war had been prisoners of Zhao Tai. Everyone recognized Zhao Tai and couldn't help but exclaimed.
】
Zhao Tai was wearing golden armor and a red cloak, standing in front of tens of thousands of Song troops stationed there. He looked less like their enemy than their commander-in-chief.
The officers in the Song Army formation were horrified when they saw their soldiers stop, and they all reprimanded them, "Don't stop, continue to attack."
When the soldiers of Song Dynasty saw Zhao Tai, they saw that Zhao Tai did not bring any troops or weapons. They couldn't help but look at each other, but no one came forward.
"Soldiers of the Song Dynasty!" Zhao Tai shouted loudly on his horse, taking the lead, "I have one thing to say, please listen carefully!"
Zhao Tai roared, and Song Jun actually became quiet.
Zhao Tai was full of passion and raised his arms and shouted: "You and I all have right haircuts. A hundred years ago, Shandong and Jianghuai were both in the Song Dynasty. Since the unification of Qin and Han Dynasties, we have the same blood flowing on our bodies and writing the same words. Don't you think so? Have you forgotten that Qi and Song were originally members of the same family, and you and I are both Han?"
The soldiers of Song Dynasty, who were operating their weapons in a fighting posture, were touched in their hearts when they heard Zhao Tai's deafening shouts, lowered their sabers in their shield-hand hands, and put away the spearheads of their spears.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanzai was furious. He rode his horse forward and shouted: "Soldiers, don't listen to the traitors. Keep moving forward!"
Zhao Tai squinted and looked over, and when he saw it was Jiang Wanzai, he couldn't help scolding: "Jiang Wanzai, are you going to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to protect the truly traitorous party from breaking through?"
When the soldiers of the Song Army heard this, there was a sudden commotion.
Zhao Tai turned on all firepower, raised his arms and shouted, "Song soldiers, the lonely navy has controlled the Huaihe River and cut off your food route. The traitor party's plan to collude with Mongolia to destroy our Shandong has completely failed. Now they want to escape, But I’m asking you to die, what’s the point?”
Zhao Tai's words made the soldiers of Song Dynasty talk a lot, and even the officers were undecided.
After the senior officials of the Song Army learned that the retreat was cut off, they immediately blocked the news. They also kept secret about the breakout and separation of the rear, and did not tell the middle-level officers and lower-level soldiers.
After all, it is basically a dead end after being cut off, and people always want to survive.
The treatment of Huai Army soldiers was not good to begin with, and they would definitely be dissatisfied when they learned that the Forbidden Army master wanted to break out of the encirclement, but asked them to stay and break up the rear.
"Mr. Xuanfu! Is that so?" an officer asked angrily.
Jiang Wanzai's face was ashen. He did not expect that Zhao Tai could defeat the Song army's attack alone.
At this time, he did not need to answer, because when they came out of the camp to form a formation and the army pressed forward and took the initiative to attack the Qi army, some of the Song troops who stayed in the camp had already started to rush away.
The Qi army had many cavalry, and the Song army had to run at the front if it wanted to return to the Southern Song Dynasty alive.
All the Song troops were afraid that they would be left behind. When they saw someone who did not follow martial ethics, they actually ran away in advance. The Song troops immediately seized the road and headed west.
The soldiers of the Song Army heard the movement behind them, looked back, and instantly understood that what Zhao Tai said was true.
Zhao Tai raised his arms and shouted: "I came to the front today because I don't want my fellow clansmen to kill each other. If you insist on attacking, if you want to help the tyrants, and if you want to attack the King of Linyi who fights against the Mongols and wipes out the traitors, then you can come!"
When the soldiers of the Song Army saw the Forbidden Army in the camp, they ran away first and then looked back at Zhao Tai.
"King of Linyi! King of Linyi!" Someone among the soldiers of the Song Army suddenly raised his arms and shouted.
At first, there were only a few people shouting, but soon it spread to the entire army, with tens of thousands of Song soldiers cheering for the title of Zhao Tai.
An officer in the Song Army formation was punched down by a soldier as soon as he reprimanded him. The remaining officers looked around, some were forced to shout along, and some turned around to leave, but were controlled by the soldiers.
Seeing that the situation was over, Jiang Wanzai pulled the reins of his horse and tried to leave the army with his guards, but was also stopped by the soldiers.
At this time, a large number of Qi soldiers poured out of the Qi army camp. They gathered with the Song army, and they all cheered for not having to kill each other.
Zhao Tai, surrounded by his generals, came to Jiang Wanzai and said loudly: "Jiang Xuanfu, can you hear the shouts of the soldiers?"
Jiang Wanzai looked up to the sky and sighed, "This is God's will! Officials and ministers have tried their best!"
After finishing speaking, he said to his subordinates who were holding weapons and confronting each other: "The Han people will not kill the Han people, so surrender! The King of Linyi will not treat you badly!"
"Mr. Xuanfu!" Many of the guards burst into tears.
Jiang Wanzai shouted: "Surrender the equipment!"
Hundreds of personal guards immediately discarded their weapons. Jiang Wanzai dismounted and discarded his saber. "Your Highness, you win!"
Zhao Tai stood proudly on his horse and stared at Jiang Wanzai, "This is not a victory for an individual, but a victory for our nation! After this great victory, our nation's weakness, cowardice, failure and surrender since the middle Tang Dynasty will all be wiped out." I was wiped out by Gu Yi. From now on, Gu will let my clan no longer have ceded land, yearly coins, and no longer pay tribute to the Hulu. Gu will let our clan return to its rightful position!"
Jiang Wanzai felt like he was hit hard, and he suddenly understood why so many people followed Zhao Tai.
Isn't this the ideal he desires?
After Zhao Tai finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Take Jiang Xuanfu down to rest, don't be lazy!"
Two Jin Yiwei came forward, Jiang Wanzai exhaled a breath, and followed the Jin Yiwei into the Qi army's camp amidst the cheers of the soldiers of the Song and Qi armies.
Li Fen came to Zhao Tai's side on horseback and admired Zhao Tai to the ground. Unexpectedly, Zhao Tai made tens of thousands of Song troops switch sides without spending a single soldier.
Zhao Tai's ability, charm, and prestige made him deeply moved.
"Your Majesty is truly a master of great talent and great strategy!" Li Fen was extremely excited.
After the Qi army captured more than 30,000 Song soldiers last time, while Zhao Tai gave preferential treatment to the Song army prisoners, Jin Yiwei was also infiltrating the prisoners.
When Zhao Tai released the prisoners, thousands of them had been instigated by the Qi army to rebel.
Zhao Tai did not tell Li Fen this. He looked at the soldiers cheering around him and saw the Song army fleeing in panic in the distance. He smiled and said: "Now is not the time to flatter you. Send the order, and the whole army will go west. All of them will be left alone." Take prisoners!”
