Seeing that Guo Jing and the others were about to be surrounded, Tie Muzhen suddenly sneered and said,"Wanyan Honglie, you underestimate me too much. You actually transferred most of the soldiers here back? Do you really think that I can be easily bullied with just a few people on the earth mountain?”Then, he suddenly turned around and shouted at the soldiers who had already gathered,"Soldiers, you can see the situation at the foot of the mountain. Yes, our reinforcements have arrived, but they fell into the trap of the golden man Wanyan Honglie. Now, they are trapped. However, most of the enemies that surrounded us have been transferred away. If we ignore our comrades in the encirclement and break out of the encirclement, we might be able to escape. However, after they destroy our reinforcements, they can still easily catch up to us. At that time, we will still die. However, if we fight to the death and rescue the reinforcements from the encirclement, we can defeat the enemy and win. Many of us might have to sacrifice ourselves, but compared to the previous situation, fleeing and being caught up and killed by the enemy was the behavior of a coward. On the battlefield, dying in the battle to save allies was the death of a warrior. I wonder how many of our men are brave and how many are cowards?”Hearing this, everyone shouted loudly. Of course, they did not agree to escape and live in vain. " Alright," Tiemuzhen said." The men of our tribe are all brave warriors. A brave warrior will not abandon his comrades and run away alone." We have to rescue them. However, we must first distinguish between the enemy and the innocent victim. This time, it's all because of Wanyan Hong Lie. He instigated the relationship between us Mongolians. Now, he instigated us to fight among ourselves to achieve his unspeakable goal. The Mongolian warriors at the foot of the mountain were all deceived by him. Therefore, us Mongolians don't fight the Mongolians. We only kill Wanyan Hong Lie.”The soldiers shouted loudly,"Don't fight the Mongols, only kill Wanyan Honglie!"”For a moment, the commotion was unparalleled. Tiemu Zhen had already calculated that Wanyan Honglie wouldn't dare to take the risk. So now, the one blocking in front of Guo Jing and the others must be Zha Muhe. The one who commanded to outflank them was Wanyan Honglie. Therefore, he pointed at the camp of the Zhamuhe tribe and was the first to rush out.
These soldiers had already been stirred up by Tiemuzhen, and seeing the Great Khan take the lead, their morale rose even more. They rushed down the mountain. Most of the Sangkun tribe soldiers who intercepted Tiemuzhen hadn't had the psychological shadow of the morning disappear. When they heard Tiemuzhen's soldiers shouting,"Don't fight the Mongolians, only kill Wanyan Honglie," most of them didn't try their best to stop them. They just perfunctorily did it. As a result, Tie Muzhen and the others encountered surprisingly little resistance. They easily charged into the battlefield and approached Zha Muhe's camp. The orderly and loud shouts on the battlefield startled Wanyan Honglie, who was in the Zhamuhe camp. However, as soon as he came out, he saw Tie Muzhen leading his soldiers and charging at him like a hot knife through butter. The surrounding Mongolian soldiers looked at him with a strange expression. His heart also began to panic. After a moment of hesitation, Tiemuzhen had already arrived at the camp gate in the blink of an eye. He looked at the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River beside him and then looked up at the six martial arts masters who were blocking his way. Wanyan Honglie knew that the situation had gone. He let the four ghosts of the Yellow River pick him up and escape.
The moment the commander moved, the encirclement on the other side loosened. When Tiemuzhen led his men to charge out, the soldiers of Sangkun Tribe couldn't hold on any longer. The Jiangnan Six Monsters had protected Tiemu Zhen all the way here, knowing that as long as they could make a small gap in the encirclement, they would win. Zhu Cong immediately said,"Eldest Brother and I will stay here to protect the Great Khan. Second Brother, hurry up and kill your way in to get Jing 'er out."?”The reason why he did this was because Ke Zhen 'e's eyes were not good. The chaotic army was filled with shouts and killing noises. If he was left alone, he would be in danger. Zhu Cong himself was only good at small martial arts, but he was not good at fighting in battle formations. The situation was urgent. Han Xiaoying agreed and shouted,"Sixth brother will go first, I will be second, third brother and fourth brother will cover the rear.”The three of them nodded in understanding.
Quan Jinfa didn't say a word as he charged forward while waving his weighing bar. The usage of his weighing bar was originally evolved from spear techniques. At this moment, he no longer used any smashing or slashing techniques. He just stabbed forward continuously. The enemies in front of him were simply unable to withstand a single blow. As long as they couldn't block Quan Jinfa's iron weighing bar, they would end up with broken bones and death. Even if they blocked a stab, they would be pushed to the ground with great force. Of course, they wouldn't have the chance to stand up again. Han Xiaoying followed closely behind Quan Jinfa, brandishing her long sword. Every time she swung her sword, there would always be an enemy who tried to attack them from the side. Her Yue Maiden Swordsmanship was originally used for battle formations. Now that she had abandoned all tricks, the number of enemies on this crowded battlefield was actually more than the other three combined, firmly protecting the side of this small team. Quan Jinfa and Han Xiaoying easily opened up a gap in the encirclement. Nan Xiren and Han Baoju, who were following behind, were both skilled in killing. Therefore, as long as the two people in front opened up a gap, the two of them would be able to firmly control the territory and not let the enemy fill it up again. The four of them worked together on the battlefield as if they had entered a no-man's land. Very quickly, they killed everyone in the encirclement. The soldiers of the Temuzhen tribe recognized the four of them. Seeing that they had broken through the encirclement, their morale was boosted. Those who were close to them ran over to help them expand the gap. As more and more soldiers joined the job, the soldiers of Sangkun Tribe began to retreat. Soon, the collapse spread to the entire battlefield. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zha Muhe could only gather his troops and break away from the contact with Tiemuzhen's tribe. Then, he slowly withdrew with the soldiers protecting Sangkun Tribe.
Tiemuzhen had won this battle, but he was too weak to continue the pursuit. Even though he was mentally prepared, after hearing the report of the 9,000 casualties, his face turned pale for a while. This was because these were the elites he had accumulated over the years. One-third of them had been lost in an instant. Moreover, it was a numerical loss of one-third. In actual terms, they should have lost at least half of their combat strength. This was because Guo Jing had brought 20,000 men with him, of which 5,000 were old and weak. However, after the battle, there were still 3,500 old and weak men left, and only 7,000 young and strong elites remained. The reason for this was because almost every Mongolian man would experience the baptism of war after they reached adulthood. Those who could live to old age mostly climbed out of piles of dead bodies. They might not be as physically strong as young people, but when it came to life-saving skills on the battlefield, they all had a few ultimate moves.
No matter what, this battle was still a victory. Those who survived cheered loudly. They rested for a night on the earth mountain. After cleaning up the battlefield, Tiemuzhen led the army straight back to his tribe. At this moment, on the hill where Tiemuzhen had been trapped for two days, three people were watching him leave. These three people were Ma Yu, Xue Xin, and that Mister Xiao. Ma Yu was still spotless. He only looked at the grass that was dyed red with blood before him. After a long time, he let out a sigh. Xue Xin thought that this Eldest Senior Brother was feeling sad for these Mongolians who had died. Unexpectedly, Ma Yu asked,""Junior brother, you are really generous. You just need to move your mouth and so many Mongolian elites will fall. However, he clearly had a chance to completely eradicate Tiemuzhen, so why did his little junior brother go soft?”
Xue Xin and the other two had followed Guo Jing and the others into the battlefield last night. They had rushed straight to the earth mountain as soon as they arrived. Xue Xin was worried that Tie Muzhen would not be able to make it out, so he wanted to secretly help him at the critical moment. They didn't expect to witness Tie Muzhen's ability to turn the clouds and rain with a flip of his hand as soon as they reached the top of the hill. He managed to seize the only loophole in the entire battlefield to launch a desperate counterattack, successfully defeating the strong with the weak. Xue Xin knew that Ma Yu was really afraid of Temuzhen. However, he only smiled and did not answer.
Xiao Yi, who was beside him, said,"Priest Ma, let me answer this question." This lowly one had been with Wanyan Honglie for some time. This Jin Kingdom's sixth prince was really ambitious. He wanted to annex Great Song and destroy Xixia to unify the world. In this year, he had been actively preparing for the invasion of the south. This time, he came to the desert to ask the Mongols to send troops to help. When they were discussing how to deal with Tie Muzhen, Zha Muhe and Sang Kun had already agreed to send troops to help Wanyan Honglie invade Song. Among the influential Mongolians, only Tie Muzhen hated the Jin Kingdom for bullying them. He had said more than once,'The Great Song is so far away from us. Even if we destroy the Great Song, the land we occupy will still belong to the Great Jin. The cows and sheep did not eat the grass around them, but went over the mountain to eat the sand. How could there be such a stupid thing? If we want to fight, we'll only fight Big Gold. Therefore, we must leave behind Tiemuzhen to hold back the Jin army. At the very least, we must prevent the Mongol army from sending troops to help the Jin Kingdom.”
After hearing this explanation, Ma Yu asked again,""If that's the case, then wouldn't it be better for Tie Muzhen to be stronger? Why would he weaken his strength instead?”This time, Xiao Yi couldn't answer. Xue Xin said,""I insisted on weakening the Ironwood Tribe. Big Brother, don't underestimate Tie Muzhen just because he has lost a lot of strength. This matter isn't over yet. I reckon that the powerful Wanghan Zhamuhe will soon be at a disadvantage.”Xiao Yi and Ma Yu were skeptical of this statement. When Xue Xin saw it, he said,""Then we might as well stay on this grassland for a while longer. I estimate that in at most a month, this battle will have an outcome.”
