Early in the morning on June 11th, at dawn, militiamen were practicing at the gate of Shucheng County.

The movements of those people still seemed very stiff, but there was no way. This was not the capital, let alone the south. This was the border area where the Song and Jin Dynasties conflicted.

The people here are always facing the threat of war and the plunder of the Jin Kingdom.

The Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty had different governance concepts. A large number of nobles robbed and occupied political and land advantages.

The status of Han people is the lowest.

They had to hold a hoe in their left hand and a sword in their right hand.

Master Wang, who has been waiting for seven years and looking forward to it for seven years, is finally here.

There is still hope on most people's faces. They hope that the war can end and that things can go back to the past.

The teenagers also joined in the exercises.

I heard from people of the previous generation that in the past, although this was a border town of the Song Dynasty, because the Song and Liao Dynasties had negotiated peace for a hundred years, there was no war, so people did not need to worry day and night.

The teenagers are always fascinated when listening to it, and their childhood memories seem to be the same, running freely in the fields.

But eight years ago, the Jin people went south and changed everything.

Countless people lost their homes, witnessed the tragic death of their loved ones, shattered their neighborhoods, and destroyed their fertile farmland.

People in war must be a hundred times stronger than in peacetime in order to survive.

Several young people rode horses and galloped towards Shucheng County.

The leader is the young man who led the team in the city yesterday. His name is Wang Hu and he is Liang Xing's subordinate.

"Official, we have found traces of the Jin Army, which is more than ten miles away." As soon as Wang Hu entered, he picked up the steamed buns on the table and started to eat them.

Suddenly, he found that there was another person present.

"General Yao!"

Wang Hu knew Yao Zheng. Yao Zheng was a general under Hebei West Road Manager Yue Fei, and he was related by blood to Yue Fei.

"Wang Hu, long time no see!"

"General Yao, Master Wang..." Wang Hu said excitedly.

"Master Wang has arrived, Zhang Xian and Zhang Dutong are nearby!"

"Zhang Dutong is here!" Wang Hu became even more excited. He didn't even eat the steamed buns and said quickly, "What do you need us to do?"

"You have done a great job in taking Shucheng County. The next step is to defend Shucheng County!" Yao Zheng said, "Did you just say that you found traces of the Jin Army?"

"Yes, the Jin army is already more than ten miles away."

"The Jin Army will not let go of Shucheng County. Next, the Jin Army will definitely attack Shucheng County with its elite troops. You must hold on!"

"Where is Master Wang?" Wang Hu asked doubtfully, "Won't Zhang Dutong come to guard Shucheng County with us?"

Liang Xing smiled and said: "Zhang Dutong is here to guard Shucheng County, who is going to kill the Jin army?"

Only then did Wang Hu react.

Yao Zheng said: "According to Zhang Dutong's plan, the Jin people will definitely attack Shucheng County, and the imperial army will set up an ambush. However, the Jin people are cunning. They may not know that we will ambush, and they may also set up an ambush."

"

Wang Hu had never fought in a war. When he heard what Yao Zheng said, he was immediately confused.

Can the war still be fought like this?

"Then what should we do next?" Wang Hu asked nervously.

"We need Shucheng County to persist for a while longer, because only if Shucheng County persists for a longer period of time can we find the ambush of the Jin people on the treacherous battlefield and kill them!"

"That's no problem!" Wang Hu said immediately.

Liang Xing laughed, patted Wang Hu on the shoulder and said, "The Jin people are cruel and ferocious and should not be underestimated."

"Of course I know that the Jin people are cruel and ferocious, but compared to ending the war and preventing that kid from my family from having to face war like me in the future, let alone holding on to the city, I don't care if I die."

As he spoke, Wang Hu began to stuff the steamed buns into his mouth again, and there seemed to be some tears in his eyes.

"I will definitely make them hold on like me. I hope the court will not let us down. Too many people have died. My next door... my next door family, the boy who has been fighting with me by the river since childhood, has been there for seven years.

The whole family... the whole family is dead... We still have too many like this here..."

As he said that, he started to eat the steamed buns vigorously.

After finishing eating, he went out, and then ran to the top of the city with others.

As the most ordinary civilian, what can you do when faced with a war between two countries?

It seems that I have only one life left. If I can exchange my life for my family to never have to face war again, it seems to be worth it.

At least people like Wang Hu think it's worth it.

Therefore, he was silently willing to go to the city wall to make a piece of burning wood. If other people could join in and have more strength, he would also be very willing.

Liang Xing said: "Wang Hu's parents also died seven years ago, in the hands of the Jin people. Yue Shuai promised that our Wang division would definitely go north, and many talents stayed. This is also an obsession with their homeland.

, I hope we can really go back to the past.”

Yao Zheng patted Liang Xing on the shoulder and said: "This trip to the north was planned by Commander Yue himself. Don't worry, Commander Yue will not give up on you! The imperial court will not give up on you either!"

At noon, A Lan's three thousand troops were less than ten miles away from Shucheng County.

He first sent people to Shucheng County to appeal.

"Surrender in Kaicheng! I will spare your life!" the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin said this at the city gate, "The heavenly troops of the Kingdom of Jin have arrived. Don't stand still and resist!"

In response to him, there was a hail of arrows and angry curses from the top of the city.

The Jin envoy left in embarrassment, and before leaving, he said harshly: "The golden heavenly soldiers are powerful all over the world. You will pay the price for your stupid behavior. When the city is broken, it will be the day of massacre!"

In the evening, Ah Lan's men and horses had already arrived at Shucheng County, but they did not rush to attack the city, but settled down.

The arrival of the Jin army immediately made Shucheng County nervous.

How terrifying is the combat power of the elite Three Thousand Gold Army?

In the Song Dynasty during the Xuanhe period, three thousand elite Jin troops were able to march sideways in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

When it was getting dark, Yao Zheng finally returned to the military camp.

"Zhang Dutong, the Jin army has really arrived in Shucheng County!"

Zhang Xian said: "Is there an ambush in the Jin army?"

Yao Zheng said: "We can't detect it yet. The Jin people are cunning. If they have a backhand, I'm afraid they won't be revealed easily."

Zhang Xian nodded: "Continue to investigate closely!"

"Zhang Dutong, are we too far away from Shucheng County?" Yao Zheng said suddenly, "Is it too late to take action against the Jin Army?"

"Why don't the Jin people know the whereabouts of our troops yet?" Zhang Xian suddenly asked.

"Our troops are constantly on the move these days."

"This is not called running, this is called raiding. We come and go like the wind. We just want the Jin people to not know our whereabouts, how many troops we have, and where we are." Zhang Xian said, "Shuai Yue said

We want to make the Jin people blind, but we need to set up a central battlefield for the Jin people to attract the Jin people, and Shucheng County is this place!"

He paused and continued: "I sent someone to calculate that although our army is a hundred miles away from Shucheng County, with three horses rotating, we can arrive at Shucheng in two hours and launch an assault on the enemy! This is
Chapter completed!
