(If you have subscribed, please download again.)
The two horses gradually approached, and the Jin army general planned to use his strength to overpower Cui Wu. He directly waved the mace and hit Cui Wu from an angle, intending to knock Cui Wu off the horse with his sword.

Cui Wu chose to fight hard, holding the knife and facing the mace.

Between lightning and flint!

The saber directly cut off the middle part of the wooden mace, which was thicker than the forearm, and cut off the neck of the Jin Army general. The broken half of the mace flew into the sky together with the Jin Army general's head, and rolled to the ground.

Cui Wu grabbed the war horse, turned around and walked slowly to the head of the Jin army general. Then he controlled the horse to raise its front legs and stepped on the head on the ground.The horseshoes covered with horseshoes directly crushed the head like a watermelon, and inexplicable things flew everywhere.

"Who else? Come up here and die!"

This was Cui Wu's shouting at the Jin-Qi coalition formation, and he was shouting in Jurchen language.

No one dared to come up. Presumably the Jin army general's force was not low. He was killed by the Han general on the field. No one in the Jin army thought he could defeat Cui Wu.

Seeing that the enemy's morale was low, Liu Xinqi took the opportunity to order the army to advance.

The large square formation of the [-]th Infantry Battalion is in the middle, the large square formations of the [-]th and [-]rd Infantry Battalions are on the two wings, the large square formations of the [-]st and [-]nd Infantry Battalions are on the rear sides of the two wings, and the Marine Corps and the Marine Corps fighting ashore are The division officers and soldiers are located in the central army.

The entire military formation gradually advanced towards the Jin-Qi coalition with the exciting sound of military drums.

The Jin-Qi coalition camp consisted of Puppet Qi infantry in the front and Jin Army cavalry in the rear.

When the two armies approached fifty steps, the muskets of the fifth infantry battalion of the Xinghan League began to fire, and the front column of the puppet Qi infantry was immediately shot down in half.

"Alliance leader! Look, the Jin cavalry has escaped again." Jiao Rui reminded.

Liu Xinqi had already seen it: "It's really a frightened bird!"

[Once again, it’s anticlimactic, but it’s okay, this is the best result. If you can save one person from death, of course I choose to die with one less person. 】

Liu Xinqi thought.

Liu Xinqi did not agree with all the discussions made by the generals of the Han League before the war.

As long as technology continues to develop, the equipment of the Xinghan League will inevitably form a comprehensive suppression of other forces in this era, just like the United States in the Middle East in later generations.

Even if the personal quality is poor, morale, faith, physical fitness, equipment, etc. can make up for it. With soldiers as the backbone, the Xinghan Alliance army can grow up without going through tragic trials and tribulations.

"As expected, the leader of the alliance knew what was going to happen. He knew that these Jin Army cavalry would definitely run away before the battle." Cui Wu praised.

Liu Xinqi was also inspired by Sun Li's speech, and did not dare to be greedy for credit.

"With all the preparations this time, the Jin cavalry will not be able to cross the river easily again." Liu Xinqi replied.

After yesterday's decision, we did not choose a decisive battle that day because we considered that the Jin cavalry might escape again, so we gave the navy one day to deploy it to the Jiaoshui River in advance. The Jiaoshui River is the dividing line between Laizhou and Weizhou, and The Glue River was very long, basically running through the Shandong Peninsula, and it was impossible for the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin to go around and cross the river on horseback again.

"Order the cavalry battalion and the first and second infantry battalions to follow up. Don't chase too hard. Wait for the infantry battalion to catch up before engaging in the final closing battle." Liu Xinqi ordered.

"Yes!"

The guards took a direct detour on horseback and headed to the east of the battlefield. The rear of the Jin-Qi coalition gave orders to the two cavalry battalions.

The purpose of placing the cavalry battalion in the enemy's rear was to prevent the Jin cavalry from escaping today and choosing to charge into the formation. Then they would be stabbed in the butt by the Xinghan League cavalry battalion.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed as the Jin cavalry fled, and the Puppet Qi infantry immediately surrendered, and the battle ended hastily.

Leaving the [-]st Infantry Battalion to clean the battlefield, Liu Xinqi led the [-]nd, [-]rd, [-]th, and [-]th Infantry Battalions and the Marine Corps to pursue the retreating Jin cavalry. Since the official road was close to the coastline, the infantry battalion did not carry any There is a lot of supplies, no tents, etc., each person only has one day's dry food, and the speed of travel is not slow.

After resting for half an hour at noon, eating dry food and replenishing some water, the troops continued on their way to pursue the enemy.

"Leader, there are dead horses on the roadside ahead. They should belong to the Jin Kingdom cavalry." Liu Xinbao returned from the front of the marching team to the middle to report to Liu Xinqi. "This means that the food and fodder of the Jin cavalry has reached its limit?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"There is a reason for this. It may also be because they were marching continuously and the horses were tired without rest."

Continuing to move forward, more and more horses fell dead on the roadside. Most of these horses were extremely thin, and their ribs were vaguely visible. Some of them were dead, and some of them were still breathing.

[It seems that the subsequent battle will be easy. 】

"Inform the troops to slow down, maintain physical strength, and be ready to fight at any time."

Liu Xinqi ordered.

The troops at a rapid march began to slow down slowly and gradually returned to normal marching speed, about ten miles an hour.

"Report!"

A signal soldier rode from the front and rushed to Liu Xinqi.

"Report! The navy successfully intercepted the Jin cavalry. The Jin cavalry did not dare to forcefully cross the river and turned south along the Jiaoshui River."

After a while, another signal soldier came back on horseback.

"Report! The cavalry battalion successfully intercepted the Jin cavalry and blocked the Jin cavalry's way south. The two armies formed a confrontation outside Wujiazhuang."

"It's done." Liu Xinqi whispered.

Now the exhausted Jin cavalry has nowhere to go. To the west is the Jiaoshui River, and on the river is the Xinghan League navy; to the south are two battalions of energetic and well-equipped Xinghan League cavalry, [-] riders; to the north is the sea; to the east is the Xinghan League's cavalry The approaching Xinghan League infantry battalion.

Moreover, they have been bitten by the cavalry battalion, and there is no possibility of escaping during the gap.

At Shenshi, the infantry battalion arrived at Wujiazhuang.

I saw that all the cavalry battalions of the Kingdom of Jin had dismounted and formed a square formation to confront the cavalry battalions of the Xinghan League.

"All their horses are dead," Jiao Rui said.

"You summon two hundred soldiers and line them up in front of the infantry camp. Our ordinary infantry are also in a state of exhaustion. We cannot let them test the truth." Liu Xinqi ordered.

After traveling quickly for a day, ordinary soldiers, carrying more than ten kilograms of equipment, have also reached their physical limit.

The formation was arranged. On the opposite side, a Jin general held a white flag and came to the infantry camp:
"Leader Liu, we are willing to surrender, but you must promise not to kill prisoners."

After shouting, he waited for the response from Xinghan League.

"Go and tell him that we only accept unconditional surrender, either directly throwing down the weapons, or raising the weapons to fight." Liu Xinqi said to Cui Wu.

Cui Wu walked to the front of the formation and loudly replied to the enemy general.

"Why don't you accept their surrender conditions? Wouldn't surrendering directly save us from casualties?" Liu Xin'ang asked doubtfully.
