Chapter 918 Soldiers first and then rituals, hard first and then soft(1/2)
"Brothers of the rebel army, are you really going to be traitors?!"
After driving out of the woods, Xin Qiji turned his horse's head. The horse's front hooves were raised high, kicked out at an angle of 75 degrees, and then landed firmly on the ground after letting out a long roar.
These words immediately made the rebels in the Jin Camp hesitate!
Zhang Anguo was a high-ranking official in the Jin Kingdom and received a generous salary, but they were just foot soldiers wherever they went!
Most of them followed because they had nowhere to go, and some were even deceived by Zhang Anguo. They didn't realize what they were doing when they arrived, so they arrived at Jinying in a daze. Once they understood, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
.
Seeing that the rebel army seemed a little shaken, the Jin Army cavalry, which was temporarily leaderless, didn't know what to do.
Do you want to retreat?
More and more Jin soldiers were muttering inwardly, their hands holding their weapons loosened and tightened, and they couldn't help but look back.
When they saw that there was no trace of the reinforcements, they became even more panicked, and a timid mood gradually appeared on their faces.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, kill this man, and we can take credit for his head!"
"That's right, you are all soldiers of the Jin Kingdom now, and you can get rewards as long as you serve the Jin Kingdom!"
"Don't you know what the Song Dynasty court was like? They were the ones who killed Yue Fei. So what if you performed extraordinary feats?!"
"You have also seen the preferential treatment given to you by the Kingdom of Jin. If you have merit here, you will be rewarded!"
More than a dozen Jin soldiers kept inciting, and the remorse that had just appeared in many rebels disappeared.
Yes, there is no reward for merit, and high merit will lead to suspicion. Is such a court really worth returning to?
They are now considered rebels. How could the petty Song Ting tolerate him?
Go back? Haha...
Do they still have a home now?
At the thought of this, many rebels clenched their weapons and looked into Xin Qiji's eyes with a sense of separation.
When the Jin army saw this, they immediately felt confident in their hearts and were about to press forward step by step.
Xin Qiji did not draw his bow, but raised his sword forward, pointing directly at the dark Jin army and shouted:
"Let's see who dares!"
The sound resounded through the wilderness, like thunder and explosions. The Jin army was not afraid and still charged wildly!
"There are other rebels organized by me hidden behind me. Although there are not many of them, as long as they enter this forest, even tens of thousands of troops can't do anything to me!"
Xin Qiji is false and false, false is false and true is true.
Many rebels have defected to the Jin camp. If he said that he had gathered a lot of rebels, a sensible person would be able to tell at a glance that he was lying.
But first the truth is exposed, and then the terrain makes it difficult for the enemy to see the real threat, which puts the enemy in a dilemma.
Jin Jun and Yi Jun saw that there seemed to be no movement in the forest behind him, and they became even more wary.
Is it really what he said, or is it an empty city plan by the Central Plains people?
But if that's the case, why don't they take action?
By the way, he said that there weren't many people, so he shouldn't be able to defeat his side, but if he really entered the forest, everything would be hard to predict.
The Jin Army was familiar with the nearby terrain and knew that this was a treasured land that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, they never thought that someone could come so far after robbing people from the camp.
Doubt is like cockroaches. Once it appears, it will fill people's hearts and keep growing. It makes people feel that there are little strong ones everywhere.
The Jin army, which originally wanted to make meritorious deeds, suddenly became discouraged. As the few people in front stopped, more and more soldiers behind them stopped moving forward.
The dozen or so cavalrymen rushing at the front heard the sound of horse hoofbeats getting softer. They turned around and found that no one was following them, so they immediately stopped their horses.
They were located in the middle of the two armies. They were afraid to move forward but embarrassed to retreat. They were so aggressive that they almost made the audience laugh to death.
When they saw the forest behind them, they couldn't help but feel guilty.
The generals are all dead. Even if Xin Qiji is not captured now, the commander-in-chief will not be angry with these little soldiers after he finds out.
But if you rush forward blindly, what's the difference between that and dying?
Those at the back may not necessarily die, but those in front will definitely die.
Moreover, there is no one under unified command at this meeting. Even if they are at the forefront, what if others don’t follow?
Then... wouldn't he become a ghost who died in vain?
Thinking of this, the two armies entered into a confrontation again.
In the Jin army, some shrewd soldiers began to sneak into the formation and use their bows to secretly target Xin Qiji.
Some rebels saw this but didn't know whether to stop them.
Xin Qiji sat on the horse, his expression did not change at all, and he only continued:
"Brothers of the rebel army, this is your last chance to turn back. The court has accepted us!"
"We are not leaderless. Our Majesty is waiting for us to return in the south, and the people in the north are still waiting for us to save them!"
"I don't want to meet you with swords. We are all brothers who have determined to serve the Song Dynasty and regain the lost territory. Why should we kill each other because of a traitor!"
Xin Qiji faced the rebels first with force and then with courtesy, first with force and then with softness:
"As long as you come back with me, I can guarantee that the imperial court will forgive you, and you will still be the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who fought bravely against the enemy in the north!"
"I know that you may not have had the chance to come back before, but now, you are far away from Jin Camp. These cavalry who followed are not worth mentioning. As long as you think about it, they are our gift to the court!"
"call out!"
More than a dozen sharp arrows were shot at Xin Qiji, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to see clearly.
shoot down.
What the Jin army didn't know was that when the arrow was about to hit Xin Qiji, some of the rebels inside showed worry in their eyes.
Xin Qiji was their only hope to return to the Song Dynasty. If he died, they would completely become traitors to the Song Dynasty.
But most of the people here have sincerely sacrificed their lives for the common people and fellow villagers.
Xin Qiji's tone revealed impatience and anger: "It seems that you are really going to betray the imperial court!"
"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to commit treason or come back with me?"
"Those who betray the country will die, and those who go back will forget the past!"
Xin Qiji raised his sword and pointed it directly at the Jin army, as if he was going to kill them all.
"Secretary Zhang, we are willing to go back with you!"
Jin Jun, suddenly there was a sound, completely breaking the silence on the other side!
"Secretary Zhang, we brothers have never wanted to treason. Zhang Anguo tricked us. He took advantage of us. We have been trying to find a way to escape!"
Several more voices from the Song Dynasty came.
"Secretary Zhang, is the court really willing to accept us? Can we continue to regain the lost territory?"
"Secretary Zhang, we believe in you. From now on, wherever you go, we will follow you!"
More and more rebels came out of the Jin Army's camp, and there was a commotion in the Jin Army camp. The Jin and Song armies inside seemed to be fighting.
Seeing this, Xin Qiji decisively ordered: "Master Song, listen to the order!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
The shouts and shouts were loud and loud, and some of them started to fight with the Jin army as soon as they finished shouting.
"Follow me to kill the golden thief and return south to the court!"
"Come back to the imperial court with me, and then go north together, for our country!!!"
"kill!!!"
Xin Qiji galloped forward, leading the remaining elite cavalry behind him into the formation to fight!
Several scimitars were slashing at him. Xin Qiji raised his sword and stepped forward. He first pushed away the sword at the front, then seized the right moment and stabbed the other golden soldier who had betrayed his flaw. Then he drew out his sword and quickly raised it.
He blocked it, and a scimitar struck the sword hard!
Xin Qiji seemed to raise it effortlessly, and the golden man's scimitar immediately rose to a high place. With a twist of his wrist, the sword turned to the enemy's chest in front of him, and stabbed him out with one blow, killing him on the spot!
The sudden rebellion and unknown strength of the troops, coupled with the leaderless Jin people, completely messed up their position. After a hard battle with Xin Qiji and others, they turned around and ran away.
"Kill me!"
Xin Qiji gave an order, and Jingqi and the rebel army followed closely, chasing the enemy crazily!
Xin Qiji's troops kept firing their bows and arrows, and the fleeing enemy rear troops fell one after another.
A few minutes ago, they were prey, but a few minutes later, the enemy became a lamb!
"Run quickly, run quickly!"
