When the maid came in to put on the charcoal fire, Shishi woke up from her sleep. The room was a little too warm, and the smoke made her forehead feel hot. Over the past few days, she was used to the cold military camp, and when she suddenly came back to Fanlou, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Get used to it.
"How is Miss Cen?" She rubbed her forehead, lifted the quilt around her body and sat up, still feeling groggy.
"The doctor said about her, said about her..." The maid hesitated to speak.
"Just save your life." The woman sitting by the bed looked at the maid calmly. The two of them had been getting along for a long time. On weekdays, the maid also knew that her girl was a bit indifferent to many things and had a feeling of being indifferent to the world.
.But this time...it's different after all.
"Miss Cen's life...is not in serious danger."
"...She has no hand." Shishi nodded. What the maid couldn't say was this matter, but Shishi already knew about it.
Last night, it was Shishi who brought Cen Jiqing, who had lost his hands, back to Fanlou.
During this period of time, either due to the guidance of Shishi or the publicity in the city, some women in Fanlou have gone to help near the city wall with Shishi. Cen Jiqing is also a red card with some reputation in Fanlou. She
Her temperament is simple, somewhat similar to the Nie Yunzhu Nie girl next to Ning Yi. She was a medical girl earlier, and she was much more skilled in healing wounds and rescuing people than her master. Yesterday at the front line of Fengqiumen, her hands were chopped off by a Jurchen soldier.
It was also because she was a woman that she was rescued in such a situation. When Shishi drove her back to Fanlou last night, half of her body was already stained red with blood, while Cen Qingqing's hands were only stained with blood.
After roughly stopping the bleeding and bandaging, there was only a trace of breath left in the body.
The country is in crisis and the war is fierce. Although most of the doctors have been drafted to the battlefield, places like Fanlou can still have better medical resources than those on the battlefield. The doctor is sending his condolences to Cen to treat his broken arm.
When he was injured, Shishi returned to his yard tiredly, washed himself with hot water, half-leaned on the bed, and fell asleep.
The weather is cold. The wind and snow stop and clear. Half a month has passed since the Jurchens began their siege, and more than three months have passed since the Jurchens suddenly moved south. Once there was peace and prosperity in singing and dancing, and prosperity.
Thinking about it now, it still seems so real, as if what happened in front of me was just a nightmare that is difficult to escape.
None of this is real - in the past few days, I have woken up from my sleep many times. Such thoughts will appear in my mind. Those ferocious enemies and the scenes of rivers of blood, even if they happen in front of me, I will never think about it afterwards.
, Teachers couldn’t help but think in their hearts: This is not true, right? Such thoughts may be swirling in the minds of countless Bianliang people at this time.
The father, who was originally the backbone of the family, went to the city one day, and suddenly he could never come back. He was once a husband who provided food and salary. Suddenly, he became part of the city's bad news. He was once a bright eye and a white tooth.
A beautiful woman with slender hands. When she saw her again, she had lost a pair of arms and was covered in blood... In this short period of time, the traces of countless people's existence and the memories left in other people's minds have come to an end. Master
I have seen many ups and downs while growing up, and I have seen the darkness of the world in social interactions. But this fact that suddenly fell in front of me still felt like a nightmare.
However, all this happened after all. The sudden arrival of the Jurchens broke the dream of this country. Now in the fierce battle, they are almost on the verge of taking over the city.
In the early days, publicity about the Jurchens' ferocity and cruelty and about the fighting of our own soldiers and civilians almost never stopped, which indeed boosted the morale of the city. However, when the impact of the death of the city defender gradually expanded in the city, sadness, cowardice, and even
A mood of despair also began to ferment in the city.
A person's death affects and affects more than just one or two people. He has a family, relatives and friends, and social relationships of this kind. The death of a person will affect a circle of dozens of people, not to mention this.
At that time, within the area of dozens of people, I am afraid that more than one or two people died.
People began to be afraid. There was a lot of sadness, bad news, and rumors of a fierce war. There were still young and strong people at home crying and begging not to let their family members die. Some of them had already gone to the city walls. People were moving.
They are trying to see if they can be withdrawn or transferred elsewhere. Those who are related have already begun to seek a way out - the Jurchens are too ruthless, and they will never give up until Bianliang is broken.
Fanlou is in the center of Bianliang's news circle, and is the most sensitive to these things. However, as far as Shishi is concerned, she has already been on the battlefield, so she no longer thinks so much.
After washing up for a while, Shishi took a look at Cen Qiqing, who was still sleeping. She had been on the edge of the battlefield for half a month and had not modified her appearance too much, but her own temperament was still there. Although she still looked weak in appearance
, but after seeing the blood of swords and guns, his body seemed to have a tenacious aura, like weeds growing out of the cracks in the rocks. Li Yun was also outside the house, looked at her, but stopped talking.
If it were in the past, no girl in the fan building would be able to bear the sight of a person's hands being chopped off alive. Even last night, after Shishi led someone to hold Cen Jiqing, who was covered in blood, he opened the door and opened the door.
Covering the clothes, when he saw that Cen Jiqing's arms were broken and his body was covered in blood, some people were frightened and fainted on the spot. Li Yun even felt a little overwhelmed. Only Shishi was still tiredly and calmly arranging everything. When the doctor
After arriving, I just went back to sleep.
It's not bright yet, but the wind and snow have stopped today, so it will only be colder than in the past - because Shishi knows that it will be easier for the Jurchens to attack the city. Looking from the alum tower to the northeast, there is a black
Pillars of smoke rose up into the gray sky in the distance. They were the smoke and dust from burning corpses over the past few days. No one knew whether the city would be breached today, but the division packed up a little and prepared to go to the wounded barracks again. After that,
He Leer came over.
"Master...Sister, you are on the battlefield...How is he?"
This woman, who did not have a high status in Fanlou, was thinking about Xue Changgong and came over to inquire about the news from her master.
"He hasn't come these days. I'm worried that something might happen to him. Didn't I say that... the Jurchens don't attack the city at night..."
"I prepared some pastries that he likes to eat... and I wanted to give them to him, but he said he wouldn't let me go... and I'm afraid..."
"...Senior Sister, I also heard what others said. The Jurchens are determined to break the city. Many people are looking for a way out..."
"He was assigned to the Jujube Gate, but he is a general after all... Senior Sister, you... can you go find him and bring him the cakes for me..."
He Lei'er is pretty good-looking, but she can't get a high status in the Fan Tower because all she has is her looks. At this time, she came to her teacher to talk to her with all her worries, and all she talked about was the same.
It's a timid and selfish thing. She wants to go to Xue Changgong, but is afraid of the dangers of the battlefield. She wants to please him, but all she can think of is to send some cakes. She wants Xue Changgong to arrange her escape. She is entangled and hopes that Shishi will do it for her.
She went to tell Xue Changgong...
She didn't notice that Shishi was about to go out. Shishi was babbled by these words. Shishi felt angry at first, and then just sighed. She listened to He Leer's words for a while, and then said a few perfunctory words. Then he told her: Xue Changgong
He is stationed in the area where the battle is fiercest. Although he is nearby, the two sides have not interacted much. Recently, he has been nowhere to be found. If you want to send something, you have to take his token yourself. Maybe you can find him.
of.
The flames of war swept across. In this unexpected situation, some people lost their lives immediately, some were confused, and some were depressed. There were also some people who completed their transformation in such a war, and Xue Changgong was one of them.
Alas, such a man may have been attracted to you before, but after the war is over and he is promoted step by step, what kind of woman will he want? You may want to be a concubine, but you won't be able to get it...
After sending He Lei'er away, Shishi thought so, and then the figure of another man appeared in his mind. The man who had warned him to leave before the war started, seemed to have seen the situation a long time ago.
Development, had been doing his own thing, and then greeted the man. Now that I think back to the scene when we last met and parted, it seems like it happened a long time ago.
Ning Yi...
He is not a man who transformed during the war, so what kind of category does he fall into? Shishi couldn't tell clearly.
From the first day of December, when the news came that the Xiacun garrison had faced Zhang Linghui and that Liu Shunren had won, the only progress that could be found in Bianliang City was that Guo Yaoshi led the entire resentful army to attack.
The battle is fierce...
The world's strongest army with a total of 36,000 people faced off against a force of about 18,000 people. How fierce the battle was, the teacher herself could not judge. She could only look at the dead people on the walls of Bianliang City, and occasionally
Imagine a war taking place on the banks of the Yellow River. In any case, the news of no defeat may be good news.
No matter how tragic the war is, as long as he can survive, maybe... it's good news...
***************
Tap tap tap tap...
The sound of horse hooves came through the snow, running quickly.
One cavalry, ten cavalry, a hundred cavalry, the figures of the cavalry galloped on the snowy field, and then passed through a small forest. The hundreds of cavalry at the rear followed the dozens of figures in front, and finally completed the encirclement.
When the two sides came into contact, the cavalry in front turned around and leaned towards the pursuers. The black figure stretched out his hand and rushed out from the horse like a step. With a cry, the cavalry who collided with him
Spinning and flying in the air, the black figure landed on the ground and walked backwards, scooping up large piles of snow under its feet. The two oncoming cavalry pursuers almost collided directly with them, but then, the two horses galloped
The horses lost their center of gravity. One leaped high to the left, neighed and fell away, while the other rolled to the right. The man in black robe held the hand of the knight on the horse and waved it backward.
After a moment, the man flew out, drew an astonishing arc in the air, and tumbled several feet away before falling into the snow.
"Stop! Stop it! It's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!" someone shouted.
The man in black robe has stopped in the snow, with his hands behind his back. It is Fulu, who has sharp eyes and solemn expression. Behind him, among the hundreds of riders, guarded by everyone, is Chen Yanshu, the commander of the Wu Sheng Army.
This man was in his forties, with an upright appearance. He was a civil servant, and he was also a military general at this time. He was exactly the type of Confucian general that the people of the Wu Dynasty liked most. He saw Fulu throwing away three charging horses in one step.
The cavalryman was shocked in his heart. He always marveled at the superb martial arts of these martial arts masters, but it was a pity that the person in front of him could not be used by him.
Xia uses force to disrupt the ban, and these people who do things based on temporary passion are always unable to understand the overall situation and the helplessness of those who maintain the overall situation...
"Senior Fulu, let's stop. Chen said, you misunderstood me..."
"There is no misunderstanding." The old man said loudly and clasped his fists, "Mr. Chen, you have your thoughts and I have my ambitions. When the Jurchens went south, my master died trying to assassinate Nianhan. Now the war in Bianliang has ended.
As for this situation, you don't dare to go to Bianliang City, and you don't want to send troops to Xia Village. You have reasons, and I can understand them. But the old man only has half his life left. If you want to die for this, you can't stop it.
of."
"The situation is complicated! Senior!" Chen Yanshu took a deep breath, "Chen has already told you in detail about the Bianliang incident and the Xiacun incident! The Bianliang city soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the Jurchens are fierce and cruel.
Who doesn’t know? If I don’t want to send troops, I really can’t send troops! These tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people have been newly defeated. If we go out rashly again, we won’t get anywhere. They will all be scattered. I, Wu Shengjun, stay here
Here, against the Jurchens, the Resentment Army still has the power to intimidate. As long as Bianliang can persist and worry about our existence, the Jurchens will definitely demand peace. As for Xia Village, so is it...the Resentment Army is the most powerful soldier in the world.
When he was first recruited, the imperial court supported him with the strength of the six states of Yanyun and half of the imperial court. But who knew that Medicine Master Guo was duplicitous and turned against the Jurchens?
If we are going to be defeated, does the old man have to let all our belongings be smashed into it!?"
Fu Lu was poor at speaking. On the other hand, due to Zhou Tong's teachings, even though they parted ways at this time, he did not want to undermine Chen Yanshu with his inside story in front of the army. He just handed over his hand and said: "Master Chen, everyone has his own ambitions.
I already said it..."
"Furthermore! Those who do great things must give up if things don't work out! Senior, in order to cheer up the army, I, Chen Yanshu, have not done anything! By displaying your name in the army, I hope that all the soldiers will
Can you inherit the legacy of Master Zhou, be brave again, and fight the enemy with all your strength, but these things will take time. Now that you are gone, what will happen to the morale of tens of thousands of people!?"
Seeing that Fulu didn't have anything to answer, Chen Yanshu spoke one sentence after another, which was deafening and impactful. As soon as he finished speaking, the first person to speak was one of the dozens of riders being chased: "Shut up, Chen Yanshu!"
On the horseback, I saw the man pull out his steel knife and point it at him. In a moment, dozens of Green Forest people who followed Fulu also drew their weapons: "Smart words, bold words! Have you finished speaking? There are tens of thousands of troops, There is no military morale at all. What does the imperial court want from you? You still treat this as a show off and say it shamelessly! Let me tell you, although General Long Huilong has only more than 6,000 men under his command, he is far more powerful than the four men under your command. Fifty thousand people are much more bloody..."
"Long Hui!" Chen Yanshu reined in the horse's head and sneered, "Let's not say that he is just a partial general who took advantage of the army's defeat and gathered thousands of people without the qualifications to lead an army. He is a talented general, but this man is brave but not wise. He led thousands of people, only to die! Chen chased after him because he didn’t want my senior and you to be buried with fools——"
"Chen Yanshu, you..."
"Okay!" The man on the horse wanted to speak, but Fulu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and then gave Chen Yanshu another hand with a cold face.
"Mr. Chen, you don't need to say any more. We have made up our mind about today's matter. Even if we die in Xia Village, it has nothing to do with Mr. Chen. If it really brings trouble to Mr. Chen, I will die if I die. I have no choice but to ask Mr. Chen to forgive me. Everyone has their own ambitions. If Mr. Chen is unwilling to forgive me, then I cannot accept your behavior. Even if you order your brothers to kill you today, if we are lucky enough to escape, anyway, I can't go to Xia Cun anymore. In the rest of my life, I will only be enemies with the Lord's family. Although I am not good at martial arts, if I only try to survive, I may still be able to escape today. My Lord, you make your decision."
There was no room for maneuver in his words. The companions around him waved their swords and guns: "That's it! Senior, if they really come to kill you, you don't have to worry about us!"
"We really want to kill each other! We can die here!"
"Chen Yanshu, did you hear that? If I were alive, I would kill your whole family——"
Everyone shouted for a while, and the expression on Chen Yanshu's face turned ugly for a while. In the end, there was a tense and embarrassing silence that made both parties nervous. After a long time, Chen Yanshu finally took a deep breath and slowly rode on. Moving forward, the guards around him wanted to protect him, but he waved his hand to stop him. He was seen riding alone towards Fulu, then descended in the snow, and when he arrived in front of the old man, he clasped his fists proudly.
"Senior, you have misunderstood me deeply." He said slowly and deeply, "But the matter has come to this. It is useless to argue. Long Hui is a man of great ambition but incompetence. If you go to attack Yaoshi Guo, you will die without success." The same is true for Xia Cun. It doesn't matter how brave he is for a moment, but it doesn't matter how many days he can hold on. Maybe at this moment, the place has been conquered... Chen chased him to this place, and his benevolence and justice have been exhausted. Since he can't keep him... Alas, everyone Ah, just take care..."
He finished these words slowly, bowed, and then walked back to the horse with a solemn expression.
Soon after, in the snow, the two groups of people finally separated and went in different directions.
************
In the snow, a long array of soldiers meandered forward.
"Yesterday it was still windy and snowy, but today we are touched and the sky has cleared up. This is a good sign, and it is God who is helping us! Brothers! Cheer up! The brothers in Xia Cun have been holding on for several years under the fierce attack of the resentful army.
On the day, our army suddenly attacked and attacked from both sides. We will definitely defeat those three slaves! Let’s go! As long as we win, military merit and salary are not a problem! You are all heroes in this world——”
On the snowy slope in the middle of the team, the general riding a war horse marched forward and cheered loudly for the team. He also had martial arts skills. His internal strength was strong and his voice was like a bell. In addition, he was tall and upright.
, I was shouting all the way. It was very encouraging.
After a while, a small group of troops came to surrender. After gradually joining together, the entire team became even more impassioned. It was the eighth day of December, and in the afternoon, Fulu and others also came, and the mood of the team became even more enthusiastic.
.
The war in Xiacun attracted the attention of many people outside Bianliang City, and Fulu played a huge role in it. It was he who secretly lobbied many parties and mobilized many people before such a situation began. And
In fact, when Medicine Master Guo gathered the resentful troops here in Xia Village, the fierce but reciprocal fighting really frightened many people, but it also inspired them.
The leader, the general named Long Hui, is one of them. Of course, it is difficult to say whether the impassionedness is driven by the desire for power, but at this time, these are not important.
"Commander Chen protects himself wisely and is unwilling to take action. We have already expected it. The situation in the world has become so rotten. Even if we curse here, it is useless. If you don't want to come, then you don't want to come." After hearing what Fulu and others said,
On the snowy slope, Long Hui just smiled boldly, "Senior just came over from Xia Village. How is the war in the village...?"
"It's sunny today, so it's hard to hide. I just took a quick look... It's quite tragic..." Fulu sighed, "The resentful army seems to have broken through the camp wall..."
The news he brought made Long Hui silent for a moment. It was already the sixth day of the fierce battle of Xiacun. In the previous news, the defenders and the resentful army were fighting back and forth. The resentful army used
Various methods of siege were used, but with the cooperation and assistance of firearms, the defenders were never able to truly penetrate the camp wall. Unexpectedly, today, the solid defense was finally broken.
Of course, it is just a wooden wall. No matter how well it is stacked, it is already extremely lucky to be able to survive for five days in such a fight. In terms of psychological preparation, it is not completely lacking. As a peripheral companion, after all,
I just don't want to see it.
Outside Xia Village, on the snow, Medicine Master Guo was riding a horse, looking at the fierce battlefield ahead from a distance. The three colors of red, white and burnt black filled almost everything in front of him. At this time, the military line spread from the southeast.
In the gap in the crooked camp wall, and halfway up the mountain, a reserve team rushed over and was fighting fiercely with the resentful soldiers who rushed in, trying to push out the front line that broke into the camp wall.
Ning Yi rushed across the blood-stained slope, slashed out with his long sword, and sent a tall resentful soldier flying with a roar. By his side, Zhu Biao, Qi brothers, Tian Donghan, Chen
Tuozi, Nie Shan and others all rushed into the enemy with tiger-like momentum. In a sense, these people were the bodyguard group that Ning Yi left by his side, and they could also be regarded as the reserve cadre group.
The injuries suffered before have basically healed, but the hidden injuries accumulated in Po Liudao, even with Hongti's treatment, are not completely healed. At this time, when I hit with all my strength, my chest will inevitably hurt. Not far away, Hongti waved a big stick
Gun, leading a small group of elites, fought towards Ning Yi. She was afraid that Ning Yi would be injured, and Ning Yi was also afraid that something would happen to her, so she fired a shot and fought hard towards that side. Blood splashed on their heads from time to time.
On their bodies, in the boiling crowd, the figures of the two people were red with blood——
"Fuck--" He split the neck of a resentful soldier with force, Ning Yi staggered towards Hongti, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, "Fairy tales are all lies..."
With a whistling sound, the spear ran past Ning Yi like a giant python and stabbed his back. Hongti heard his whispered complaint: "What?"
"Didn't you say that if the number of casualties reaches 10%, you will collapse? How many people are dead now——"
In the fierce fighting over the past few days, the casualty rate between the Resentful Army and the Xia Cun defenders has already been more than just 10%. However, at this time, no matter which side is fighting, no one knows how long they will have to fight before they can see.
to the beginning of victory.
But at this moment, in the Xiacun Valley, the power of the Resentful Army has always had the upper hand. But compared to Ning Yi's fighting and complaining, in the formation of the Resentful Army, while watching the development of the war, Guo Yaoshi
On the other hand, he was muttering: "What other tricks can I use..."
In the past few days, the Ever Victorious Army has launched an attack while having an advantage, and it is not the first time that it has encountered a novel situation... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
