The Central Plains have entered the early summer season, but the nights in the mountains are still a little cool. A gust of wind blows, which makes Fu Cha, who is whistling on the top of the enemy building, shivering. He moved to the corner of the wall, where a pot of charcoal fire was burned. Of course, this was not for him to keep warm, but for the purpose of igniting wolf smoke to convey information after discovering the enemy situation, but the little heat it emits still makes people feel a little warm.

"Oh..." Fu Cha sighed, feeling that this day seemed to be endless. He should have worked in the fields this season, and now it is the time when the Winter Wheat Festival needs irrigation. But he entered Guancheng as early as the New Year to prepare for war. His father, who was almost 60 years old, also accepted the sign-up to the camp a while ago. The only wife and two half-old children were left at home. I wonder if he could fill the fields with water.

Thinking of this, Fucha turned around and looked south. The wheat fields at home were in a flat small basin on the other side of the mountain. Not far away, there was a small river flowing through the streams in the mountains. It was a good paddy field. Each mu of wheat could produce nearly three stones. Although it had to be paid part of the garage, there was no need to pay taxes, and the surplus grain was enough for the family to live a life of food and clothing.

Fucha developed an uncontrollable desire and was very familiar with the roads and terrain here. He could go home even in the dark. He knew that there was a small path under his feet that could lead to the foot of the mountain. After crossing a small ridge, he could see the lights at home, as if he could still hear his wife's spinning under the lamp.

But Fu Cha knew that he was just thinking about it. If he had been secretly absent from the Mongolian centurion, it would have been a trivial matter for him to be whipped, and he might have implicated his family. This made him hate the Southern Dynasties barbarians, why did he fight well, and it made it difficult for him to return home, and his own fields were deserted.

In fact, Fu Cha was a Jurchen. It is said that his ancestral home is far away from Liaodong. It seems that his ancestors followed the Jin Dynasty emperor to destroy the Khitan and drove the Southern Dynasty to Jiangnan. They accumulated merits and became commanders of thousands of men. They were ordered to guard Juyongguan and settled in it. This may be the most honorable time for their family.

It is said that the Great Jin Dynasty fought against Hehe for hundreds of years, and his ancestors also went to war with the Southern Dynasties, but it was a long time ago for him. In the end, he returned alive and settled here, and this place had become their home. Perhaps it was the generation of Fucha Taizu, the Mongols fought and a war broke out in Juyong Pass. It is said that hundreds of thousands of Jurchen troops were stationed here, blocking the Mongols outside the pass.

Unfortunately, God did not bless people. A sudden earthquake collapsed the city walls. The Mongols took the opportunity to break through. It is said that there were more than 100,000 Jurchens who died in that battle, and their bodies filled the valley. Even though nearly a hundred years have passed, Fucha still often saw bones in the mountains, which shows the tragic battle at that time.

After losing Juyong Pass, the capital was not guarded, and Fu Cha's great-grandfather could not escape with the Jurchen emperor. The Jin Dynasty was already setting and was defeated by the Mongols. Later, he joined forces with the Southern Dynasty to destroy him. His great-grandfather surrendered to the Mongols, became a surrendered citizen of Mengge Khan, and became a military household. After that, his grandfather followed the Mongolian army to fight south and north, and died on the battlefield.

Later, Fu Cha's grandfather was signed to fight with the Mongols, participated in the war with the Southern Dynasties, and died in the battle between the two Huai areas. Later, his father was summoned to the army and destroyed the Southern Dynasties for several years. He survived by chance. He was going to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, but he used some money to bribe Shangguan, and returned to Dadu with the Mongolian army, joined the guards, and stationed in Juyongguan.

Later, when Fu Cha grew up, he had to serve as a military household for generations. He became a famous soldier and began to guard Juyongguan. However, at this time, the Yuan Empire unified the world and was in the capital, and there was no war at all. He spent more time on weekdays and farmed, and he would only go to the city of Guan when it was time to take turns.

Juyongguan, as a key road in the capital, became a gathering place for business travelers. It was very prosperous and lively, and life was very happy. However, Kublai Khan passed away and the Southern Dynasty was invading Jiangnan. At first, no one took it seriously. One was that it was still far from Jiangnan; the other was that they all thought that the Southern Dynasty had long destroyed the country and that a few remnants could not make the climate.

Who knew that the Yuan army stationed in Jiangnan had been defeated and lost its troops, and lost its territory. The guards where Fucha were also ordered to gather for Jiangnan. He was frightened at the time and thought that he would not be able to return. But when they had just crossed the Yellow River, they received an order to say that the two countries had already negotiated peace and ruled the Yangtze River, so they returned to the Central Plains.

From then on, Fucha and his friends had a good life. From time to time, they would struggle to prepare for war and prepare for war. The most tense thing was that the Southern Dynasties launched a large-scale northern expedition a few years ago. The vanguards crossed the Yellow River. The Semuwei and Mongolian guards stationed in the Gyeonggi area all sent reinforcements to the south, and they were ready to go to the expedition again.

At that time, news of defeat came almost every day. Some of the guards who went to the expedition were completely destroyed, and some were crippled. The remaining old and teenage reserve soldiers were recruited to the front line to supplement the casualties. Fu Cha was frightened and waited for the order to be transferred to the front line. Maybe the court felt that their combat effectiveness was too poor, perhaps to protect the capital, and they were not recruited until the end of the war.

Valley Rake

Then there was the death of Zhen Jin Khan. After Tiemur Khan, the guards were reintegrated and adjusted, and a large number of troops were transferred from the grassland to join the guards. However, their guards were forgotten and remained in Juyongguan. In the following years, there was no war between the two countries, and they returned to their previous leisure days, as if the war had gone far away.

But last year, the Southern Dynasties invaded the Central Plains again, and they were unstoppable all the way. In half a year, they all mobilized to enter the Guancheng City, renovate the city walls, strengthen the city, strengthen training, and open the arsenal to distribute weapons. The grassland army and other garrisons entering the guards were transferred to Juyongguan to guard the guards. Fu Cha realized that the Southern Army was really coming this time.

The Thousand House members of Fucha were very complicated, including Jurchens, Khitans, Bohais, and Hans, but the Mongols classified them all as Hans. It was precisely because of their low status that they were driven out of the city of Guancheng and guarding the city on both sides of Guancheng. There were no barracks here, so they could only live in stone enemy buildings. They had to go to the bottom of the mountain to get water, and even treated them as cannon fodder to fight the Southern Army.

Now the Southern Army is stationed outside the city of Guancheng, which is only far from their power. If there is no mountain cover, you can see their campfires. Fu Cha heard from the tenth chief of their Khitan tribe that although the Southern Dynasty also hated the Mongols, the Jurchens most hated them.

The chief of the tenth husband said that because the Jurchens robbed the Central Plains of the Southern Dynasty, occupied the capital, captured all the concubines, princesses, and princesses, and the way north was almost dead. They also plundered the father and son emperor of the Southern Dynasty to the extreme north and abused them to death. This was a great humiliation for the Southern Dynasty emperors, although they would not forget them in the past century.

Although the Mongols destroyed the Southern Dynasties, they did not kill the emperor and empress dowager who surrendered them, and they also received them from the Duo and gave them a title. In comparison, of course, the Southern Dynasties hated the Jurchens even more. I heard that anyone who caught the Jurchens would not accept their surrender, and would kill them all, which was even more cruel than treating the Mongols.

Fu Cha had actually forgotten that his ancestors were Jurchens. If the older generation had not specifically mentioned the glory of the family back then, he would not have remembered that he was also a Jurchen. Thinking of this, he not only shuddered, but also stood up and surrounded him in panic, as if the Southern Army was around him, but there were only vague valleys and mountains in the city, and nothing could be seen in his ears except the bonfires and the roar of wild beasts.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The drums came from Guancheng, and it was already three o'clock. Fu Cha saw that the torch was shaking on the enemy's building ahead, and he quickly took off the torch inserted by the marquee and drew it twice, and then drew it twice. He saw that there were torches on the next enemy's building shaking as before putting the torch back to its original place.

Seeing the firelight go away, nothing unusual. Fu Cha knew that everything was safe and did not find the enemy situation. He yawned. Although he was sleepy and cold, he could only force himself to continue on duty. He had to wait for an hour before someone would change his post. This was not because Shangguan was harsh and intended to punish him, but because there was really no one.

As early as more than ten days ago, the defenders in the pass began to evacuate quietly, but Shangguan Yan ordered them not to circulate outside the country or to inquire whereabouts, and to remain the same as usual. At first, they were not affected, but as more and more troops were transferred outside, Fucha found that although many camps in the pass were there, they were all empty. He estimated that at least tens of thousands of people had left Juyong Pass.

Fu Cha was very confused. The enemy was at the city and should have strengthened its troops, but now he has drawn a large number of defenders. He couldn't help but suspect that the court wanted to give up Juyong Pass and defend the capital. However, a few days ago, the defenders in the city were quietly transferred away, and the troops guarding the city were now insufficient, so he began to draw troops from the city to strengthen the guard troops.

But Shangguan asked everything to be normal, so when the lights and flags were shining in the city, it was almost empty. Fu Cha and the others were also affected. In the past, a team of 100 people stationed at an enemy building, but now they are one of 100 people to guard three enemy buildings. However, the two buildings are about a distance between them, which means that the 100 people must guard the three-mile defense line.

In this way, they must keep the same as before being discovered by the Southern Army. In addition to the number of patrols they patrol several times, they also maintained the bonfires in the city at night, and the time for whistle was changed from one hour to two hours. Sometimes they rushed down the mountain to carry food and collect equipment, and the time for changing the posts was longer, which made the soldiers guarding the city exhausted.

"Who?" Fu Cha suddenly heard the sound of "Xi Xisuosuo" under the city wall, as if the grass rod was trampled. He looked around from the marble and could not see anything in the black dust. He threw down a stone and smashed it over, and the sound disappeared immediately.

"Damn it, it's a wild beast!" Fu Cha cursed and retracted his head, but suddenly felt a fire flashing under the city wall. When he turned his face to look, there was a loud noise. He felt that his feet were shocked suddenly, and he couldn't stand it. He fell down to the mountain with the collapsed mercedes...
