As the setting sun sets, the lights on Hedeng County light up. Halfway up the mountain, the courtyards are bustling with people coming and going.
Near the General Political Department of the Chinese Army, a courtyard with two camellia trees is where Ning Yi usually works. When business is busy, it is difficult to return early. In October, after the Chinese Army captured Chengdu, it has
Entering the temporary rest and consolidation stage, Han Jing returned from the front this day, held meetings during the day, and came to meet with Ning Yi in the evening.
Han Jing was originally the most outstanding leader among the leaders of Qingmuzhai. After being integrated into the Chinese Army, he is now the commander of the First Division of the Fifth Army. When he came here this time, the first thing he talked about with Ning Yi was
Ning Ji has completely adapted to things in the army.
It is now the ninth year of Jianshuo, and Ning Yi has been getting along with his family and children for more than a year after being reunited. The world is in chaos, and most of the children are falling and beating, and they are not squeamish. Ning Yi and his family are relatively easy-going.
In getting along, the relationship between father and son, and father and daughter, finally did not break due to the long separation.
The eldest son Ning Xi is now fourteen, almost fifteen years old. At the beginning of the year, Ning Yi arranged a marriage for him and Min Chuyi. Now Ning Xi is learning various mathematics and science arranged by her father under the trend of sense of responsibility. In fact, Ning Xi's humanistic knowledge is actually
Yi didn't care if the son inherited his father's legacy and trained him to be his successor, but the current atmosphere was like this and the child was motivated, so Ning Yi was happy to let him get exposed to various educations such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, history and politics.
The eldest son is not too much to worry about, but the second son Ning Ji is almost 12 this year, but it is quite a headache for Ning Yi. Since coming to Wu Dynasty, Ning Yi has been obsessed with becoming a martial arts master, but his achievements have been limited so far.
Xiao Ning Ji has been courteous and courteous since he was a child.
Gentle and gentle, he is more of a scholar than Ning Xi, but unexpectedly his talent and interest are in martial arts. Ning Yi has not been able to practice martial arts since he was a child. Ning Ji has been taught by teachers such as Hongti, Watermelon, and Du Sha since he was ten years old. When he is ten years old, he has the basics.
But it has already been defeated.
However, to achieve success in martial arts, it is not something that can only be accomplished by a good master. Hongti, Xigua, Du Sha, and even Chen Fan from Miao Jiang, all of them have experienced life and death situations time and time again.
Improvement can only come from being lucky enough not to die. How can a parent be willing to let his child run to live or die?
Fighting, for Ning Yi, on the one hand, he hopes that his children will have the ability to protect themselves, and let them practice martial arts from an early age, at least to be physically strong. On the other hand, he does not agree with his children to really develop martial arts.
In the past, and now, Ning Ji's arrangements have become a difficult problem.
It was also when he reunited with his children after a long separation that he was overwhelmed with joy. At first he boasted that he was the best in the world in martial arts, had bowed to Zhou Tong, and looked down upon Lin Zongwu. Later, he started to fight with Xigua. He made up several stories for publicity.
The practice of martial arts strengthened Xiao Ningji's inheritance of "Heaven"
With the thought of "becoming the first", at the age of eleven, I have laid the foundation for internal martial arts, and my bones have gradually stabilized. Although I look pretty, I have started to grow taller. If I stay stable for a few more years, I will probably catch up with Yue Yue.
Yun and Yue Yinping are two children of the same generation that Ning Yi has met.
Ning Ji is the child of Ning Yi and Yunzhu. He inherited his mother's handsome appearance. After his ambition was gradually settled, Ning Yi struggled for a while, and finally chose to support him as openly as possible. The martial arts style in the Chinese army is also flourishing, even if
As a young man, it is normal for him to occasionally compete with others. Ning Ji often participates. At this time, his opponent
You can't practice real kung fu by releasing water. If you don't release water, you will be beaten to death. Yunzhu, who has always supported Ning Yi, even cried with Ning Yi twice because of this, and almost came out as a mother to oppose Ning Ji's martial arts practice. Ning Yi
After many discussions with Hongti and Xigua, they finally decided to throw Ning Ji into the Chinese Army's medical team to help.
You can practice martial arts, but you must first learn to heal injuries.
This is also the good intentions of several parents. It is inevitable to face life and death when practicing martial arts. The cruelty seen in the military medical team is similar to that on the battlefield. Many times, the pain and helplessness are worse than that. Ning Yi has led him more than once
Taking the children at home to help in the military medical team
, on the one hand, it is to promote the value of heroes, and on the other hand, it is to let these children see the cruelty of the world in advance. During this period, even Wenwen, who is the most caring and likes to help others, is scared to tears every time.
I still have nightmares after I go back.
During the period of recuperation, the military medical team did not treat many wounded people. When the Chinese army officially started fighting with the Mangshan Ni people, and then the troops left the Chengdu Plain, what the military medical team saw became a real Shura field. There were tens of thousands or even dozens of people.
In the confrontation of tens of thousands of troops, no matter how elite the army is, it will inevitably be injured.
Even though the front lines are reporting good results, military doctors are still faced with a large number of bloody wounded. Soldiers with broken heads, bloody heads, broken limbs, and even split bodies and open stomachs and intestines are struggling between life and death.
Wailing and struggling can give people an indescribable mental impact.
However, these are also heroes who are brave enough to fight.
Throwing an eleven-year-old child into such an environment is the cruelest way to grow up, but it is also the only relatively "mild" option that can replace the experience of life and death. If you can retreat from the difficulties, it will be fine.
Come down... If you want to become a master, you have to endure hardships. Then let him go on.
"... I naturally understand your idea of experience, but I don't dare to be so cruel to a child... and the mother-in-law at home won't let it go. Fortunately, the second young master is very lively, and this is ten
At one year old, he is running around among a group of wounded soldiers. He is also kind to others, and all my soldiers like him. I think if this continues, the second young master will become a general in the future."
After sitting down in the room, they chatted about Ning Ji. Han Jing was quite impressed. Ning Yi poured tea for him and sighed when he sat down.
"If there is any other way, who would want a child to suffer this, but there is no way. The world is not peaceful, and they are not children of good families. When I was in Bianliang, I was assassinated several times a month. Now,
It’s even more troublesome. A bunch of kids
Well, you can't keep him at home all day, you have to let him see the world, you have to let him have the ability to take care of himself... In the past, it didn't matter if you killed an emperor, but now I feel uncomfortable thinking about which child died one day, I don't know
How to explain to their mother..."
"...Don't think so."
"I'm mentally prepared." Ning Yi paused, then smiled: "It's because I'm a bitch, otherwise Ning Ji wouldn't want to be a martial arts master. What's the use of becoming a grand master? The future is not a green forest.
The era of... In fact, there has never been the era of green forest at all. Let’s not talk about the probability of dying on the way before becoming a grandmaster. Even if you become Zhou Tong, what will you do? If you engage in sports in the future, or if you go to opera, you will be crazy..."
His words were harsh, and Han Jing couldn't help but laugh. Ning Yi clinked the tea cup with him as if drinking: "Child, Brother Han, don't call him Second Young Master. A dandy will die early. The most precious thing is still
Resilience, when he was first asked to follow the military medical team, he had nightmares every night and could not eat. Within a month, he did not complain. He survived and started practicing martial arts again. What can a child have?
I can't stop him with this kind of toughness... However, I hinted to him at the beginning that the future will be the age of muskets. If he wants to avoid getting hurt, he should follow Yuwen Feidu to learn more about archery and marksmanship. It would be better for him because he has been in the military medical team for a long time.
, I am stalking Xiao Hei for advice on how to practice the Golden Bell Shield of the Thirteen Taibao. Alas, he was originally the most handsome child in our family, but now he is going to be ruined. I don’t even know how to explain it to Yunzhu."
Han Jing also laughed: "The Thirteen Taibao Kung Fu has been mastered both internally and externally. Well, it's still... pretty good."
"What is it about being both internal and external? Look at Xiao Hei's look, he is so worried..." He sighed casually, but there was still a sense of relief in his smile that a child could persevere. After a while, the two of them chatted from the military medical team.
On the front line, after capturing Chengdu, the Chinese army was on standby for repairs and everything was maintained in wartime status, but there were no plans to attack Zizhou in the short term.
"... Seal the borders, consolidate the defense lines, and first complete the household registration and material statistics of the occupied areas. The legal team has already passed by to clean up the backlog of cases. We will first attack a group of bullies who have caused public resentment in the market and maintain this for a period of time. This process will pass.
In the future, when everyone gets used to each other and the population and trade are allowed to circulate, there should be far fewer people leaving...
...We said in the letter that we were going to attack Zizhou, so we stopped attacking Zizhou first and maintained the initiative of military operations. We considered that the divisions should be famous when sending out troops. As long as Zizhou is still there, our process of sending troops will not be completed. Comparatively
It is convenient to deal with the cards on the other end...use intimidation to promote peace talks. If we can really force a negotiation, it will be worth more than Zizhou."
"Although I don't understand the officials of the Wu Dynasty, negotiation is unlikely, right?" Han Jing said.
"It's not big." Ning Yi smiled and nodded, "However, as long as Zizhou is still in their hands, there will be a lot of interests related. These people will persuade the court not to give up the Southwest, and will accuse the government of losing the Southwest.
Those people will make those high-ranking officials in the court miserable. Once Zizhou changes hands and the matter is settled, the words of these people will be of little value... So let it go for now, the situation is so chaotic, and we will take it next year
It’s not too late.”
As Ning Yi spoke, he and Han Jing looked at the huge map of the Wu Dynasty on the wall on one side of the room. A large amount of information turned into flags and arrows, densely displayed on the map. The war in the southwest
In just one corner, what is really complicated is the actions and confrontations north of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Near Daming Mansion, yellow flags representing the Golden Man are densely planted in a grove. This is something that Han Jing, who is on the front line, cannot help but worry about.
The battle situation.
Zongfu and Zongbi began to attack Damingfu in September. After more than a month, the battle was unsuccessful. Now the main force of the Jurchen army has begun to move south to cross the Yellow River. Wanyanchang, who is in charge of logistics, led more than 30,000 Jurchen elites, together with two soldiers collected from Li Xizhi's original jurisdiction.
More than 100,000 Han troops continued to besiege the Daimyo, and it seemed that they were ready for a long siege.
The latest news is reflected on the western line of the Central Plains corresponding to the east road. After Wang Juyun raised troops, Jin Wang Tian Shi personally marched, and all the troops rushed towards Zong Han's army coming from across Yanmen Pass. This is
The strongest and most shocking resistance that suddenly broke out in the Central Plains. Han Jing was confused about this, so he asked Ning Yi, and Ning Yi nodded and confirmed.
The news about the direction of the King of Jin in the Central Plains was personally delivered by Zhan Wu, the shopkeeper of Zhuji who was responsible for contacting Lou Shuwan. With Tian Shi's departure, the King of Jin gradually mobilized millions of troops. This is
Tian Hu’s wealth accumulated over more than ten years.
With the dispatch of the army, the struggle in this local political circle suddenly became fierce. Although the slogans of resisting the Jin Dynasty were passionate, there were also many people who were unwilling to risk their lives under the iron heel of the Jin people. These people followed
It started to move.
On the day the army was dispatched, the Jin King's territory was completely wiped out and martial law was imposed. The next day, Yuan Zhanxia, one of the elders who had supported Tian Shi's rebellion, secretly sent an envoy north to try to contact Wanyan Xiyin of the Eastern Route Army.
On the same day, Lou Shuwan, who had already prepared manpower, led his troops into the Yuan family, and the entire family was imprisoned. On the third day, Lieutenant General Weisheng City executed all the Yuan family members, young and old, at the same time. At the same time, the court and the military system
Countless people related to the original family were imprisoned. In just a few days, the number of severed heads in Wei Sheng City could build a Beijing temple.
Such cruel and cruel methods were carried out by a woman, and even Zhan Wu, who was accustomed to the world, was frightened by it. Before the Jurchen army reached Taiyuan, the entire territory of King Jin had already turned into a murderous Shura field.
Such a tense situation north of the Yellow River has its own origin. After more than ten years of recuperation, the King of Jin's territory was able to gather millions of soldiers and then resist, which certainly made some Han people excited, but what they faced before them was
It is Wanyan Zonghan, the Jurchen military god who once fought side by side with Wanyan Aguda and now rules half of the Jin Kingdom.
On the other hand, in the territory of King Jin, in addition to his own army of one million people, to the west is the northwest which has been completely desolate by the Jurchens. To the east, the resistance of Daming Mansion, even if Zhu Biao's Black Flag Army is added, is only 50,000 to 60,000 people.
, crossed the Yellow River to the south, and returned
We had to cross Bianliang City and nearly a thousand miles of road that was still in the hands of the Jurchens at this time to reach the Yangtze River Basin actually controlled by the Wu Dynasty. A million-strong army faced Wanyan Zonghan. In fact, it was a helpless force thousands of miles away.
Lonely.
Everyone is making choices with their own lives.
"...I met this young master of the Tian family once in Luliang Mountain. When I first met, I felt that this man was arrogant and short-sighted, and he didn't pay attention. But I didn't expect that this man was also a hero. And this Lou
Girl, you are really... amazing."
When Tian Shi and Lou Shuwan went to Luliang, Han Jing and others were still preparing for the battle code-named "Beating the Children". At this time, looking through the many messages coming from the north, they couldn't help but sigh for the other party.
Among these messages, there was also a letter written by Lou Shuwan himself and sent to Zhan Wu from the Huaxia Army. In the letter, Lou Shuwan had clear logic and calmly analyzed it to everyone in the Huaxia Army headed by Ning Yi.
King Jin's plans and the situation he faced also stated the fact that King Jin's troops would definitely fail. After such a calm statement,
, she hoped that the Chinese Army could provide more support to the Jin King's troops in the spirit of being all Chinese people and helping each other. At the same time, she hoped that the Chinese Army, which had been training in the southwest, could decisively send troops to quickly open up the route from the southwest to Xiangyang.
The passage in the Bianliang area may also be transferred from the southwest to the northwest to provide actual support to the Jin king's troops.
Let the Black Flag Army be dispatched now, directly open up the thousands of miles of territory in the Central Plains, and then start a confrontation with the Jurchen troops. This is of course impossible, but in the other party's calm statement and desperate facts, Han Jing was more or less
He felt a little admiration and guilt. When he handed the letter back to Ning Yi with a complicated expression, Ning Yi looked at him with a half-smile: "How do you feel?"
"...It's amazing, and what she said is also true."
"Yes, it's amazing." Ning Yi smiled, and after a moment, he threw the letter back on the desk, "However, this woman is a psychopath, and her purpose of writing this letter is just to make people sick.
Don’t pay too much attention to it.”
"Well……"
Han Jing was puzzled, but Ning Yi had different feelings about this seemingly normal letter. He was a determined person, and he usually did not treat mediocre people as adults. When he was in Hangzhou
, Ning Yi has no appreciation for this woman, even if
Ning Yi didn't care at all about the murder of the whole family when they reunited in Luliang Mountain. But from Lou Shuwan's development and methods of doing things over the years, we can see the trajectory of the other party's survival, and what she experienced between life and death.
What a cruel experience and struggle.
The relationship between the two parties was too deep, but at this moment, she had to admit that the other party had grown into a real person. Especially after writing this letter, she made a desperate choice and knew that the Huaxia Army would never
Perhaps at this time, she sent her troops to the north to regain the Central Plains. This act of disregarding life and death was enough to make people feel admirable. While the Chinese soldiers admired her, Ning Yi's mood was naturally disgusting.
This kind of almost perverted sense of humor actually made Ning Yi feel a bit of respect for him even though he was laughing and crying.
"If I had known, I would have killed her back then... it would have been a hundred things..."
I chatted with Han Jing for a while, and when I sent him out, the sky was filled with stars. On such a night, when we talked about the current situation in the North, the fierce and cruel battle, we were actually talking about our future.
, even if you are in the southwest, how long can you stay calm? The conflict between the black flag and the golden man will come sooner or later.
In the ordinary starlight, walking north and east, the traces of winter have already fallen on the earth. Going east over a distance of three thousand miles, Lin'an City has a night scene that is a hundred times more prosperous than Hedeng in the mountains.
As the heart of the Wu Dynasty today, people from north to south gather here, and countless things related to the entire world happen and are brewing here. Right now, the temporary protagonist of a story happening in the capital is called Long Qi
fly.
In August, the Chinese army sent out a message in the southwest, announcing it to the world. Soon after, Long Qifei set off from Zizhou back to Beijing. The journey was fast and starry and night, and it had been more than ten days since he returned to Lin'an.
When the country is in danger, it is often the time when heroes emerge in large numbers. At this time, in the Wu Dynasty, the poems of the scholars were sharp and tragic, and the patriotic feelings were exaggerated in the green forest. Chivalrous people emerged in large numbers, and the civil and military style was better than that in the Taiping years.
Great progress has been made. In addition, various schools and ideas have gradually emerged. Many literati are running around Beijing every day, selling their ideas for saving the country. Inspired by Ning Yi, Li Pin and others started running schools and newspapers, which gradually developed.
stand up.
Since the Jin people showed signs of moving south, Prince Junwu left Lin'an, led various armies to the front line, and built a steel Great Wall north of the Yangtze River. The view to the north has always been the focus of scholars. But for the southwest,
There are still many people who are wary. Before the war started in the southwest, Confucian scholars had publicized the deeds of Long Qifei and others. When the war in the southwest was in danger, Long Qifei arrived in Beijing, and this group of people immediately attracted a large number of people.
eyeballs.
There may be some doubts about these people fleeing the battlefield, but after all, they are too far apart, and heroes are needed when the situation is critical. The publicity for these people is mostly positive. After Li Xiannong was questioned and arrested in the southwest, the Confucian scholars persuaded Mangshan Ni
clans rise up to fight
The deeds of the Black Flag Army are mostly regarded as Long Qifei's strategist. Facing a barbaric monster like the Black Flag Army, it is not easy to do these things. After all, it is tragic to kill the thief but be unable to save the day.
, and it can also make people feel recognized.
During this three-thousand-mile journey, Long Qifei lost a lot of weight in the anxiety and high-intensity running. When he arrived in Lin'an, he was emaciated and his mouth was full of blisters. What he said after arriving in Beijing
The first thing he did was to kneel down to all the Confucian scholars he knew. The black flag was strong, and he had disgraced his mission. He had no choice but to return to Beijing to present his case to the court, asking for more attention and assistance to the Southwest.
This great Confucian who cared about his family and country and knelt down to plead guilty to everyone immediately became a good story in the capital. In the next few days, Long Qifei ran back and forth with everyone, constantly going to the houses of ministers in the court to pray, and also begging
With the help of many wise men in Beijing,
He was busy. He stated the importance of the Southwest and the wolfish ambitions of the Black Flag Army. He kept warning the central government and stated that the Southwest should not be lost. If the Southwest is lost, the world will be destroyed. In more than ten days, a riot was set off.
There was a huge patriotic fervor.
Many high officials from the capital came to invite him to banquets, and even the stewards of the eldest princess's house came to invite him to come to the house to discuss and learn about the specific situation in the southwest. He was invited to poetry gatherings one after another, and various celebrities came to visit him.
During this period, he visited Qin Hui, the privy envoy who had prompted him to go west, for the second time.
Master Qin, however, after the defeat in the court, Qin Hui was unable and unwilling to promote the conquest of the southwest again, and even many officials and celebrities in the capital expressed their extreme respect and respect for him. Regarding the matter of sending troops to the southwest,
It's a big thing, but few important people are willing to make efforts.
Late that night, red lanterns were hung high at the entrance of Qingyi Alley. The brothels, theaters and tea shops in the alley were still enthusiastic. This was one of the lively social outlets in Lin'an City, a restaurant called "Sihaishe".
In the lobby of the inn, there are still many celebrities and scholars gathered here. In front of the Sihai Society is a brothel. Even in the windows above the brothel, there are some people listening to music and paying attention to the situation below.
Finally, a carriage came in from the street and stopped in front of Sihaishe. Long Qifei, who was thin, with half-white hair and red eyes but still enthusiastic, got off the carriage. He was only over four years old.
10. During the journey of more than a month, I was filled with all kinds of worries and suffering, which made my hair dry.
He was half white, but his appearance made everyone respect him even more. After leaving the carriage, he held a wooden stick in one hand and stood still with difficulty, his dark red lips pressed tightly, and his face was filled with anger.
Everyone gathered around him, but he just said nothing, held his hands in his hands, and walked towards the inn.
Sending troops to the southwest is a complicated decision that determines the direction of a country. After more than ten days, there was no result. He realized that the momentum was not big enough, and it was not enough to prompt adults such as Lord Qin and the eldest princess to make a decision. However, the scholar, Jing Jing, etc.
After all, the knowledgeable people in the country were on his side, so that night, he went to Mingtang to visit Li Pin and Li Dexin, who he had interviewed once before.
Li Dexin's newspaper now has a huge influence in Beijing, but these days, there are only some narrative reports in his newspaper about Long Qifei's return to Beijing. Long Qifei is dissatisfied and feels that maybe
It was because I didn't show enough respect for him that I came to visit him in person, hoping that the other party would realize the importance of the Southwest, put national affairs first, and promote more public opinion to defend the Southwest.
However, Li Dexin rejected his request.
At this time, when they returned to the inn, everyone asked about the outcome of the discussion between the two parties. Long Qifei just walked inside. After passing through the lobby, he put his wooden stick on the ground. After a moment, he said: "Li Dexin... just for fame and reputation."
Generations..."
The words were angry but resounding. Everyone in the hall was stunned, and then started talking in low voices. Someone caught up and continued to ask. Long Qifei stopped talking and went back to the other side of the room. When he returned to the room, he followed him to the capital.
The famous prostitute Lu Guoer came to comfort him, but he remained silent and did not speak, his eyes became even redder.
"Sir, this is the list of adults who submitted the post today...Sir, everything in the world is extremely difficult. Don't hurt yourself because of these people..."
Lu Guoer is also a woman who has seen many things. After speaking to comfort her for a while, Long Qifei waved his hand: "You don't understand, you don't understand..."
There were some things that he would not say to the women around him. In Li Pin's conversation with him today, he spoke bitterly, and some of his words went too far, which made Long Qifei feel palpitated. Since he returned to Beijing, everyone has regarded him as a
He is the leader who everyone expects him to be, but this is also due to the situation in Southwest China. If the court really cannot take back Southwest in a practical sense, what meaning does he have as an opinion leader?
Li Pin was trying to gain fame and reputation. At first he was talking about how he was different from Ning Yi, because the devil was too high for his own status, but now he was just hypocritically trying to figure it out. In addition... the big officials in the court were nothing.
, including Qin Huizhi! He had instigated
He wanted to go to the southwest and try his best to deal with the Chinese army. Now, he and others have tried their best to arrest the envoys of the Chinese army, incited the Mangshan Ni tribe, and narrowly escaped death... He couldn't promote the nationwide siege, so he just walked away.
Okay, how can people like me leave?
Meat eaters are despicable. The words of the saint spoke clearly. He listened to the indignation and comments that were still vaguely coming from outside... The princes in the court were doing nothing, and only he, the only one, worked hard for the country... After thinking about this for a moment, he
After calming down, I started to look through the name cards that were sent to me. When I saw one of the cards, I hesitated for a moment, put it down, and picked it up again soon after.
"...This one seems to be a disciple of Mr. Zhao." Lu Guoer whispered from the side. Long Qifei pressed the name and tapped it with his fingers.
After a while, he said: "Gentlemen are in groups but not party members. How can there be any disciples who are not disciples?"
The name on the invitation was Yan Huan. His official position was not high, but he was a disciple of Zhao Ding, the left prime minister. Zhao Ding was said to be at odds with Qin Hui.
"... I have seen the article written by this Master Yan before. He is very upright... Maybe I can see it." Long Qifei sighed and said.
The whine of the night wind came from outside the window.
The blowing night wind traveled 1,500 miles north, and the cold wind blowing over the city wall was blowing the flames in the night fiercely. On the north wall of Daming Mansion, the continuous bombardment of catapults opened a gap in a city wall.
Below the gap, corpses, gravel, and the soil that was constantly transported during the army's attack piled up a sloping slope along the wall. Under the urging of the Jurchens, the soldiers outside the city screamed and launched a wave of fire towards the gap.
attack.
On the city wall, the artillery pushed towards the outside of the city launched an attack. The artillery shells passed through the crowd, bringing with them splashes of flesh and blood, bows and arrows, kerosene, rolling wood... As long as the defensive methods could be used, they were fierce inside and outside this gap.
The ground gathered together, and on the position outside the city, slingshots were still firing, throwing huge stones at the high wall.
"Bring the artillery over... Everyone! The city is here and the people are there. If the city dies, we will die." Wang Shanyue, wearing a white scarf on his head, roared in a hoarse voice in the night. His body was already stained with blood, and the people around him followed.
He shouted loudly and then pressed towards the gap in the high wall.
Daming Mansion is a fortified city built for garrison. The thickness of the entire outer wall is several feet wide. The immature artillery cannot have an impact on such a wall. On the contrary, the catapults still have some effect, and the wall is bombarded outside the city.
The artillery can create a huge defensive advantage. Even so, for more than a month, the enemies who have boarded the city several times still need to use a lot of life to fill up. Wang Shanyue has led his troops to the front several times...
This night was still such a fierce fight. At a certain moment, something cold fell from the sky. They were small ice particles before the heavy snowfall. Soon, they covered the whole world with a crash, and there were countless fires above and below the city.
It was extinguished, and after a while, the fighting in the darkness finally stopped, and the people on the city wall were able to survive. They began to clean up the soil slope, and at the same time began to reinforce and raise the city wall at that location.
Behind the siege camp, Wan Yanchang looked at everything in the darkness under a big umbrella, his eyes cold. He did not encourage his elite soldiers to seize this rare gap. After withdrawing his troops, he asked the craftsmen to repair the stone-throwing machine.
The equipment, when leaving, dropped the order.
"Don't be idle, keep throwing the body in for me!"
Tens of miles to the south, the stretching banners symbolize an army of hundreds of thousands in size. In the past few days, they began to cross the Yellow River one after another. Wu Shu led the vanguard to cross the river first. Looking back to the north, the water of the Yellow River
Taotao, the gunpowder smoke in Daming Mansion can no longer be seen, but he believes that soon everything in that city will disappear in the successive attacks of hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers led by Wan Yanchang.
In front of the army is a ruined land that was visited by refugees not long ago. Apart from corpses and plague, what is now raging on this land is a team of refugees who are generally called "hungry ghosts".
Even the Jurchen army or the Puppet Qi army that used to be stationed south of the Yellow River can now only rely on strong cities to garrison one side. Most of the small cities have their doors opened by refugees. The people in the cities have lost everything, and
They can only choose to survive by plundering and wandering. In many places, the roots and bark of trees have been eaten away. The people who died from eating Guanyin soil are skin and bones, with only rounded bellies, rotting in the wild.
These people who have lost their homes and everything and can only rely on plundering to survive now number in the millions on this land south of the Yellow River. No words can accurately describe their experiences.
Fortunately, winter has arrived, and beggars cannot survive the winter. When it snows heavily, these millions of refugees will all die one after another... 8)
