Chapter 1384 An Ominous Sign? So What?
"Imperial Flag! Help control the Imperial Flag!"
Wanyan Yinshu shouted loudly at the guards.
The guards didn't understand what was going on at first, because the wind was so strong that Wanyan Yinshuke's shouts were even drowned out by the wind.
But when they saw that the imperial flag was already swaying in the wind and that even the soldiers carrying the flag could hardly stand, they immediately understood what Wanyan Yinshu wanted to say. So three or five of them rushed forward and held up the huge imperial flag again!
"This wind..."
Wanyan Aguda raised his hand to shield himself; the wind was indeed strange, making him squint.
"Huh, huh..."
Although the huge imperial flag was stabilized, the strange wind continued to blow it, and the originally very sturdy flagpole actually began to bend under the enormous wind pressure!
"how is this possible?"
Wanyan Yinshu, who was struggling to keep the military flag from falling, stared wide-eyed. What was going on? Why was the imperial flag being bent by the wind? This didn't make sense!
"call!!"
It seemed that seeing more people defending the imperial flag angered the strange winds of the world, and in just a short moment, the wind suddenly became even stronger!
This gust of wind had a devastating impact, affecting hundreds of thousands of people in the entire army. The sand and dust whipped up by the strong wind blinded the men and horses, slowing the advance of the column. The cavalrymen had to work hard to control their warhorses to prevent the horses from becoming unruly and disrupting the entire column.
"Your Majesty, dismount! Dismount!"
Because of the strong sandstorm and the panicked warhorse, the guards were worried that Wanyan Aguda might get into trouble, so they quickly made him get off the warhorse.
"I won't play!"
Wanyan Aguda refused the guards' suggestion to help him dismount. Instead, he sat up straight on the horse and took the initiative to fight against the strong wind!
"I am Wanyan Aguda, the Emperor of the Great Jin! I led my tribe from nothing to become the King of the North! I refuse to believe that a gust of wind can do anything to me!"
Wanyan Aguda displayed great backbone and the demeanor of a great general at this moment, truly deserving of the title of a founding emperor.
"God, if you think you can influence me with this, you're sorely mistaken!"
Perhaps after hearing Wanyan Aguda's extremely domineering words, the heavens felt that their dignity had been challenged, and the wind blew even stronger!
"Click-click-click..."
In such strong winds, the flagpole of the imperial banner, a symbol of the Jin dynasty's imperial power, began to emit unsettling sounds.
"what's the situation?"
Wanyan Aguda used to believe in destiny, because he thought it would allow him to lead his entire tribe to rise to power. Later, he stopped believing, because he felt he was destined to be one. For so many years, as the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, although his southward campaigns had failed, his westward and northward campaigns had been very successful! He was the chosen one!
But today, after he finished speaking, looking at the increasingly strong wind and the increasingly distorted imperial flag, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, as if, as if God was telling him that personally leading the expedition south was not a wise choice!
This feeling greatly displeased Wanyan Aguda. He raised his head and shouted at the sky again:
"Heaven is unjust! The south is prosperous! The north is bitterly cold! Why can't my Great Jin Dynasty conquer the Central Plains!"
"Since you are being unfair, then I will not believe you! I am determined to fight this battle! I am determined to take the Central Plains!"
"Long live the Great Jin! Long live the Great Jin!"
……
"Long live! Long live!"
When Wanyan Aguda's words were heard by the surrounding soldiers, they did give these disheveled soldiers a lot of confidence. They shouted along with him, and the shouts quickly spread, boosting the morale of the surrounding area!
"Good! Well done, you are all warriors of my Great Jin..."
Wanyan Aguda wanted to say more, but at that moment, the wind suddenly picked up again, and the strong wind blew back all the words Wanyan Aguda wanted to say!
Moreover, under this tremendous wind force, the thick flagpole of the Great Jin Imperial Banner could not withstand such pressure and was actually blown down!
"What!!"
Wanyan Aguda looked on in disbelief. What happened? How could the imperial banner, which was perfectly fine just a moment ago, be broken so suddenly?!
"Boom!"
The broken imperial flag flew a short distance before landing heavily in front of Wanyan Aguda, stunning everyone nearby!
"emperor!"
Wanyan Yinshu panicked upon seeing this and rushed over to check on his emperor's condition.
But he forgot that he was in control of the military flag. If he let go like that, the Jin military flag would not be able to withstand the strong wind!
However, compared to the broken imperial flag, the military flag fared better. After leaving Wanyan Yinshuke, the other soldiers did not have time to protect the military flag, which was blown horizontally and knocked down many people!
Strangely enough, after the imperial flag was broken and the military flag was blown over, the strange wind suddenly stopped.
"The military flag has fallen too?!"
After pulling Wanyan Aguda off his horse and protecting him, Wanyan Yinshuke then discovered that the military flag had also fallen. Wanyan Yinshuke, who had always been very confident in the strength of his own army, was somewhat shocked at this moment.
Both the military flag and the imperial flag have fallen; this great battle...
"Silver Magic, let me get up!"
Wanyan Aguda, as expected of the founding emperor, quickly adjusted his mindset despite being shaken by what had just happened.
"Your Majesty, the imperial flag is broken and the military flag has fallen to the ground. This is clearly an ominous sign. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider. This time, Your Majesty should personally lead the expedition. Otherwise, Your Majesty should not go."
Wanyan Yinshu said that there was something wrong with the wind, and if Wanyan Aguda still insisted on going against it, he might be in big trouble.
"absurd!"
Wanyan Aguda scolded:
"Yin Shuke! You are also a veteran of the army! Listen to what you're saying!"
"It's just a strange wind. I'm already here. Are you telling me to go back now? What about these hundreds of thousands of troops? Do you want me to be like those incompetent people from the Liao and Song dynasties before, deserting in the face of battle and becoming a laughingstock?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not! That's not what I meant!"
Wanyan Yinshu was utterly awed.
"Rise! Warriors of the Great Jin, you shall not kneel!"
Wanyan Aguda gestured for Wanyan Yinshu to get up. He looked up at the sky, where the wind had stopped, his expression shifting between light and dark.
“Our Great Jin has been defying the heavens since the beginning of our rebellion! Have you forgotten how we destroyed the Liao back then?”
"Since the heavens will not tolerate us, then we will turn the heavens upside down!"
"You think you can make my Great Jin army retreat just because a gust of wind broke the flag? Absolutely not!"
"emperor!"
Upon hearing Wanyan Aguda's words, Wanyan Yinshu's expression completely changed!
Who would have thought that His Majesty would be so ambitious!
What I just said was an insult to the name "Da Jin"!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! The people of our Great Jin will surely triumph over Heaven! Even if Yin Shuke sacrifices his life, he will pave the way for the southward advance of our Great Jin!"
"Pass the word down: the army must advance at full speed! We must catch those righteous people off guard!"
"Yes!"
……
"General, is that the Jurchen camp?"
The Beiwei Army had arrived near the former camp of the Pucha tribe, and traces of the fire set by Yue Fei's night raid could still be seen outside the camp.
However, the camp looked very messy at the moment, as if there was no one there.
"Yes, that's where we'll be setting up our outpost."
Yue Fei nodded and signaled for the scouts to come over.
"Go check and see if there are any traces of the enemy inside!"
"If not, then we'll charge in!"
