Chapter 1348 I'll take the blow for you!
Through the snowflakes, the group of people gradually came into view from afar, and all the patrol members had already drawn their swords.
The newlyweds looked serious and slightly nervous, clearly not expecting war to break out so soon.
"Are we going to die?"
A new recruit, watching the approaching figure, asked in a trembling voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We will survive, and we will survive very well!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei turned around and encouraged the new recruit.
"If we really start fighting, all of you move closer to me. I can hold off the attackers for you!"
"And I!"
Yang Zaixing had already slung the knife over his shoulder, and in his other hand he held a shield that was almost as tall as a person. With his strength, he could kill someone with just the shield!
"Wait a minute, those people at the front, why do they look like refugees?"
Encouraged by Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing, the new recruits calmed down and stood ready to fight the enemy at any time.
However, as the enemy drew closer, they noticed something amiss. Among the enemies in front of them, the ones at the very front seemed to be ordinary refugees.
"They really do look like refugees. Could it be that the Jurchens drove these refugees here? How cruel!"
Sending refugees to the front lines, with elite troops following behind, is a tactic that truly tests human nature. If Dayi doesn't intervene to rescue them, it will damage Dayi's reputation, since Dayi's power ultimately rests on the shoulders of its people.
"Where did these refugees come from!"
Just as the new recruits were discussing the group of refugees at the front, Old Wang suddenly shouted, interrupting their discussion.
"There are no refugees, only bandits charging in!"
Upon hearing this, the veterans showed no dissatisfaction, but the new recruits were still somewhat agitated.
"But, but they are refugees..."
"What's wrong with Wang Tou?"
"Killing innocent people and claiming credit for it? That's a grave taboo!"
……
"Quiet down, all of you!"
Old Wang naturally heard their discussion, and he suddenly shouted, trying to calm the new recruits down!
"In this kind of weather, where would any refugees come from? Even if there were, they would never come at this time. They all make a living in the North, how could they not know the closing times of the major cities? How could they not know the dangers of traveling in the snowy night?"
"If they were truly refugees, they should have arrived by noon! Instead, they look like they were driven here!"
It must be said that Old Wang's words were very intimidating; the commotion among the new recruits gradually subsided under his words.
"Brother Wang, are you telling the truth?"
Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing inquired.
"It's all about experience. You'll understand after you encounter it a few more times."
Old Wang kept his eyes fixed on those people, remaining vigilant. Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing exchanged a glance and immediately made a decision.
"Listen to Chief Wang! Everyone be on alert! Don't panic!"
"That's right! Listen to Chief Wang!"
Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing took the initiative to help Lao Wang keep the new recruits in line and prevent them from causing chaos.
"what?"
Old Wang was somewhat surprised. In his mind, someone with such a powerful background would definitely not listen to him and might even go against him or cause trouble.
But these two guys... they really are a bit different!
"Hopefully, when the fight breaks out, they won't be all show and no substance."
Several experienced veterans in the patrol team had already led their men back to the city to seek reinforcements. Old Wang, watching the approaching troops, estimated that if he could hold out for about an hour, this crisis could be resolved.
"Stop whoever comes!"
He shouted at the people dressed as refugees with all his might.
"General! General! We are Han Chinese! We are Han Chinese!"
"General! Save us! The Jurchens are about to attack!"
……
Some of the refugees also shouted out, their cries for help being nothing more than requests for assistance. But Old Wang just gave a cold laugh and then cursed back!
"You bunch of Jin dogs, I can smell the muttony stench on you even from this far away! You want to be Han Chinese?! Dream on!"
Old Wang's words made the people among the refugees pause for a moment, but then, mocking laughter rang out!
"Han Chinese, you're courting death!"
"Kill them! Eat their meat!"
"Kill it!"
……
Clearly, although the Jin and Yi states had fought before, most Jin people did not have much different impressions of the Yi state compared to their impressions of the Song state. They thought that these Han people were weak and easily bullied, and that they had only defeated the Liao state by luck.
Faced with a patrol team some distance from the city, the Jurchens decided to wipe them out!
"Golden Dog, you still want to eat me? I'll break your legs!"
Old Wang's eyes turned cold, and he began to exude a murderous aura. He had been a veteran for many years, and his hard work had not been in vain!
But to his surprise, before the two sides could even make contact, two people suddenly rushed out from his own team!
"Zai Xing! You attack the left! I'll attack the right!"
Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing charged out like wild horses!
Yang Zaixing wielded a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, while Yue Fei was even more ruthless, abandoning his shield altogether and wielding his two swords swiftly from left to right, stirring up the snowflakes on the ground and in mid-air!
"These two are hopeless, brutes! Absolutely brutes!"
Qin Hui watched the two figures rush out, shaking his head inwardly. He had to leave Yue Fei's command; otherwise, dealing with this brute every day would make him feel like he was likely to die young.
"Kill!"
Seeing Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing charge forward, the Jurchens disguised as refugees stopped pretending, threw off their tattered clothes, drew their weapons, and charged in as well!
"clang!"
"laugh!"
"what!"
……
As the weapons of both sides clashed, screams and the sound of blades piercing flesh began to rang out. The Jin people thought that they would be more than capable of dealing with the two young generals, but they did not expect that as soon as it ended, in just one exchange, several of the Jin warriors who charged at the front were taken down!
"Surround it up!"
Upon seeing the two men's bravery, the Jurchens immediately prepared for a "siege and annihilation" strategy. No matter how strong you are, with so many of us attacking together, we don't believe we can't wear you down!
"Reunion, back to back!"
Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing immediately formed a back-to-back fighting force. They knew that in such a chaotic battle, the danger would increase dramatically if someone were separated from the group!
"clang!!"
Another sound of weapons rang out, and the Jurchen formation that was originally meant to surround Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing was suddenly broken. Old Wang brandished his battle sword and charged in. As soon as he entered, he also turned his back to them. The three of them supported each other and confronted the Jurchens around them!
"Brother Wang! What brings you here?!"
Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were filled with excitement, finally able to openly display their prowess on the battlefield!
"You two are precious! You can't afford to get hurt, so feel free to entrust your backs to me!"
Old Wang also encouraged Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing.
"You two just charge forward! I'll take the blows for you from behind!"
