Chapter 549: Retreat
"Kill!!~"

With a loud shout, Jinwu's war guns swept out, and the fences of the camp behind him collapsed one after another.

The Wei cavalry has launched a charge.

The two torrents of steel quickly collided.

It was at that moment that the outcome was no longer in suspense.

Will be the courage of the soldiers.

On one side, there was a peerless warrior who broke through the wall of the village on a single horse and shocked the whole army with one word. Coupled with his unparalleled prestige, Wei Jun almost became a believer.

On one side, the enemy has reached the doorstep of the house, and the cowards are still in the hinterland of the military formation.

"The general has an order. Anyone who takes a step back in fear of the enemy will die!"

The front line was still discussing Zhang Wu's "three no kills", while nearly five thousand governors lined up in the rear.

He has no intention of holding back on his colleagues.

In order to establish prestige, the military governors even pulled out the soldiers who accidentally retreated when the formations were crowded, and beheaded them.

They tried to use such bloody methods to suppress Bingjia, which was what they had done in the past.

But this time, the governors obviously made the wrong calculation.

Such bloody and brutal methods have already aroused dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

Jin is not like Wei.

Here, the superiors are as high as the gods and immortals, and those who serve the country in the army are just lowly people who can die at any time.

Here, the queen of a famous family spends her days as a lackey, doing nothing, or she can enter the palace and rule the world. Even if a poor man has a beam on his head and a cone on his butt, he is only worthy of being a slave of a noble family.

Don't talk about dividing the land by military merit. They don't even have the most basic dignity. If they die today and turn into a handful of loess, what else can they leave behind besides making their loved ones shed tears?
Even with such a meager pension, the Shangguan might have used it to pay for drinks.

The grudges of the past are gathered together today with new hatreds.

There are more and more people who are passive and lazy in fighting. They neither fight forward nor run backward for their lives. He simply dropped the weapon in his hand as General Wei said before the formation.

Whether he lives or dies depends entirely on God's will.

"I won't do it anymore!"

The fifty-year-old soldier dropped the steel knife in his hand angrily, closed his eyes and waited for death.

But the sound of horse wind whistling past his ears, he didn't feel any pain at all.

After a while, he opened his eyes and took a look.

If the people of Wei were as the general said, they would never kill defenseless people.

Even if he never knelt down and begged for surrender, his life was not in danger.

"Sun Qi, don't worry about your life, come back quickly!"

Sun Qi opened his empty palms and said, "I won't go back. I won't go back in this life."

The captain was anxious: "What are you doing?"

Sun Qi stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Wu who was like a god descending from heaven in the military formation: "Go and lead the general's horse. Didn't the captain also always yearn for the military merits of the Northern Wei Dynasty to be divided into local systems? Why don't you come with me to live a beautiful life and be blessed? Children and grandchildren. The cubs in the provincial family have to look at other people's faces to live their lives."

The captain felt a little moved and took a step forward.

But thinking of his wife and children far away in Jiangdong, he shook his head and retracted his legs.

Who doesn't know that there is no hope in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but after living in some places for a long time, they have taken root and have no choice but to choose.

Young is so good.

"Go ahead and become a general, or else don't tell others that I led the soldiers." Sun Qi smiled and continued to move forward.

After he turned his head, the captain bent down again, picked up the steel knife, and moved forward bravely.

In the Southern Jin Dynasty, military generals, especially at the battalion and school level, were basically as far as they could get based on their own abilities.

And under that deformed court, it was people like him who had made it to the camp and school level based on their ability who were the most pitiable.

The names and surnames were registered in the military, and the children and elders of the family were recorded in detail.

Another powerful person suffered a defeat, but he had his own backers in the court to help him resolve the issue, and his glory and wealth were not diminished.

But for people like him, winning a battle has no merit, and losing a battle is the original sin. If you die, you will be scolded as a piece of trash at most, but if you surrender or escape. Who can intercede for this poor family?

As soon as the guns and halberds passed by, another ghost was added to the riverside ferry.

Born in troubled times, who doesn’t have helpless joys and sorrows?

Above the battle formation, military orders are the most important. Since Zhang Wu said that those who lay down their weapons will not be killed, then those who hold the weapons forward will only die. No one had time to stop and sympathize with his helplessness.

Xilulu! ~
Chi Ji raised his front hoof high, Zhang Wu raised his spear but did not chop it down at the last moment. It fell heavily to the side, splashing dust all over the ground.

What do these two idiots in front of me want to do? In front of the two armies, he actually wants to hold Chi Ji's horse's head. I really don't know how to write the word "death", right?

If Zhang Wu hadn't seen him holding a weapon, he would have been reduced to pieces at this moment.

"court death?"

Sun Qi sat paralyzed on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief. As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. Since the general did not kill him, it was not a good start.

"The general's horse is indeed a magnificent horse. Sun Qi, a villain, has learned some skills in looking after and raising horses since he was a child. He is willing to lead the horse for the general."

"Jin people?"

"The villain is from Xiapi, Xuzhou."

"My general, this horse is like a brother and companion, and cannot be touched by others. Let me ask you, what is the name of this landowner?"

"Reporting to the general, the landowner's surname is Wang and Jiang. He is the direct son of the Wang family of Gaomen."

Zhang Wu determined the direction in an instant. There were not many flags displayed here, and there was only one for the person named Wang.

"If you are really capable, go find a scout named Chen Xishun in the rear army to lead the tiger."

Having said that, without taking another look at Sun Qi, he saw that the general with the surname Wang was passing by.

At this time, several generals in the hinterland of the military formation had long been frightened by the fearless Zhang Wu.

They were just noble sons from major families. They came out with Huan Wen, just to get some credit, and hope to be promoted in the future.

The reason why Huan Wen sent them to guard the ferry was because he felt that the Northern Wei Dynasty was weak and there was no one to attack the ferry, so he left a few behind to fill the gap.

When had they ever seen such a scene of blood flowing like this before them?

"General, withdraw, the Wei army is so fierce and brave that they cannot hold it at all!"

"Withdraw" Wang Jiang gritted his teeth and trembled: "If I withdraw, how can the Prime Minister bypass me?"

"The general has his back to the Wang family, so he described the details of this place clearly. I believe the prime minister will not make it too difficult for you."

"Yes, yes. Order, board the ship, withdraw!!!"

After the order to retreat was given, Wang Jiang, surrounded by soldiers, could not wait to board the ship, weigh anchor and return home.

As for the war behind him, he never wanted to take another look.

Wei Jun is so powerful. If he were given another choice, he would not be able to cross the Yangtze River and would be looking for trouble with these people.
