Looking around, there is still white snow in the field of vision, and the sun shines down from above the thick clouds. In the evening, the weather rarely clears up.
The city wall of Linzhou is not very high, but after a round of repairs in the second half of last year, it is still a quite strong city defense. On the northern city wall, black flags are fluttering in the cold wind, and soldiers of the Chinese Army are moving up and down, carrying
Carrying various defensive equipment, Hu Yanzhuo ran along the city wall, occasionally lending a hand to the soldiers carrying the artillery, debugging it, or directing the battalion commander below to enter the responsible section. His appearance was quite stern.
Hu Yanzhuo had served as a general during the Wu Dynasty, and now he is the commander of the regiment in the Chinese army. Many of the people who came down from Liangshan Mountain were originally arrogant, but facing the soldiers under his command now, Hu Yanzhuo did not have any thoughts in his heart.
How arrogant.
On the one hand, the Chinese army has strict military regulations, which are mostly reflected in the training. After realizing the strong combat power derived from it, Hu Yanzhuo, as a general, greatly appreciated such regulations. Secondly, now that he is following
More than half of the team under Zhu Biao are veterans who have experienced the Battle of Xiaocang River in the northwest. They have been honed into a sword for ten years. Although Hu Yanzhuo was once an old-school general, he also has respect for the experiences of many soldiers.
.
Although these more than 10,000 people have been hiding in the Liangshan River for several years, and are not as skilled in the development and training of artillery and other weapons as the Southwest Chinese Army. However, in the successive battles with the Jurchens, they were able to face the Jin army without defeat.
, there are only ten thousand people in the entire north of the Yellow River who survived the battle like Xiaocang River, and there are no more.
At this time, just the orderly preparations for war on the city wall can reveal the morale and iron blood of each soldier.
Linzhou guard Xu Chunyi was shocked when he saw the scene on the city wall. At this moment, Guan Sheng had already come over and took him to a military meeting: "By the way, General Xu, Shu Liesu is here.
, your two armies and ours will soon be fighting side by side. Since we are friendly armies, we must get to know each other. Tonight, our Chinese army will hold a mobilization meeting. There were some activities to express our grievances and heart-to-hearts before. I told you when I came here that I would like to use your military camp and school grounds.
, your brothers had better come to participate..."
"Complain and share your grievances..."
"Oh, just sit down and chat with each other after dinner. Even if it's just once, you may not become familiar with each other, but it is always good for soldiers to get to know each other."
"Of course this is possible..."
"Okay, General Xu agreed. Xiao Sun, you can arrange the small things." Guan Sheng turned around and said to a deputy, then turned around: "The real big thing will be when everyone meets later..."
"But... if we hold the mobilization meeting together, I'm afraid the space won't be big enough, and..."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. As I said, it's just a matter of getting acquainted. It's okay to separate during the mobilization meeting. I want to sum up with you first the Jurchens' intentions this time..."
…
In the forest, the war horses breathed white air, howled, and the sound of weapons was accompanied by the roar of human bodies falling to the ground. The high snow chunks were shoveled and flying. Lu Junyi galloped out on the snow, the spear in his hand nailed to the ground.
On the ground, he dragged the body away, and then pulled it out suddenly.
Red and white meet together, and the sound of hoofbeats on the opposite side has quickly shortened the distance. The Jurchen knight on the horse wields a steel knife and cuts it down. In front of the galloping horse, Lu Junyi's body shakes, and a large gun seems to disappear silently.
Behind him, the next moment, the gun point came out from the other side of the body.
This is a form of the carbine. The spear roared into the sky, and snow marks burst out. The war horse's neck was shaved open by the spear under the huge impact. Then the sharp spear blade pierced the Jurchen knight's chest, soaring into the sky.
Out. The horse fell down in the snow while running. The knight rolled on the snow. When he stood up, there was already a shocking scar on his chest. Lu Junyi had already rushed up and pressed down the equally tall Jurchen scout.
He fell in the snow and cut his throat with a wave of his hand.
He killed two highly skilled Jurchen scouts in the blink of an eye, searched quickly for a while, then retrieved his mount, walked through the woods in the snow, and quickly headed towards the top of the mountain.
Lu Yuanwai, who was once the number one gunman in Hebei Province, is now forty-six years old. After joining the Chinese Army, Lu Junyi's initial idea was to serve as a general and lead the troops in combat, but later, he and Yan Qing were both
Ning Yi arranged to be an instructor in the special operations team. When Li Shishi was walking in the Central Plains, he and Yan Qing followed him and were secretly responsible for many secret tasks. When the war started in the Central Plains, he joined Zhu Biao to help
, also served as a scout. As the Jurchens broke camp, Lu Junyi rushed to the front line immediately.
After killing the two Jurchen scouts who met by chance, Lu Junyi went to the top of the mountain. On the road at the other end of the mountain, a long line of flags and queues appeared in his field of vision. Lu Junyi picked up the telescope and carefully recorded the characteristics and possible consequences of each team.
flaw……
There were more than 36,000 Jurchen troops, nearly 40,000 following the Han army, and more than 70,000 people heading south. Lu Junyi followed them. During this period, there were occasional chases and fights. At night, he and his companions
They gathered together to rest in a cave in the mountain. In the night sky, Jurchen falcons flew over.
The game of life and death, the intersection of iron and blood, relatively speaking, many scenes more than ten years ago were like child's play.
…
"...The Jurchen team that came over this time, according to the information sent back from the front, is about 75,000 to be precise, and half of them are direct elites of Shu Lisu. This team followed Aguda to conquer the world. Although there is a difference now,
But it’s not much different. Their plan this time is to either defeat us or surround us. No matter which one it is, we will not allow it..."
"... But at the same time, we cannot retreat. If we retreat, Wei Sheng will not be able to hold on anymore. Therefore, we have to fight, and it is best to hurt them, but we don't need to be too eager to win. It is not difficult to defend beautifully. We
There are 10,000 Chinese troops here, and General Xu has more than 23,000 brothers. Before coming, Wang Juyun had already mobilized his Ming army to help. The main force of the Ming army is nearly 30,000, and there is also a recently expanded 20,000 people. Well, the number
Compared with the above, we still have the upper hand, haha, so what are you afraid of..."
In the warm room, the meeting of the coaches has been going on. Guan Sheng took Xu Chunyi to sit together, discussing various divisions and cooperation issues between the two sides. The Huaxia Army has a great reputation, and Xu Chunyi is not as good in the military.
He didn't insist much, but as the meeting progressed, he gradually heard voices outside and became confused.
"Kill the Jurchen dog!"
"...Kill the Jurchen dog!"
"We are human too!"
“…also human”
Sounds like this came occasionally, which sounded a bit ridiculous at first. However, as the number of people joining in increased, the sound became a bit frightening. Xu Chunyi occasionally asked Guan Sheng: "This is..."
"Oh, it's okay. We are having a heart-to-heart talk together, and it sounds very lively. Let's talk about the issues at the South Gate. I have some ideas..."
On the school grounds of the military camp outside, the huge square was divided into areas. The soldiers of the Chinese Army were the first to gather, and then the soldiers of the city defenders who had eaten dinner also came to watch the fun. People came up from time to time in the venue, talking about the past
The stories that happened to me include the war in the northwest, talking about the white land there, participating in the three-year war of Xiaocanghe, the idea of killing the Jurchens for the first time, and my family in the Central Plains.
, talking about the tragedy after the Jurchens came to kill them one after another.
Some people were talking and crying, first one person, then a group of people. The soldiers of the city defenders were also called up. Although they were stammering, in this world, everyone has the same suffering, especially
Who was forced to become a soldier and whose family did not have a few innocent souls who died in vain?
Wang Shanyue also learned this kind of heart-to-heart talk about remembering the bitter and thinking about the sweet, but it was naturally initiated by the Chinese Army in the first place. In these years, no one cared about the people living a hard life, and everyone also paid no attention to the numerous sufferings.
We are all used to it. The shame of Jingping, even noble people such as the emperor, concubines, ministers and their families suffered such hardships. In ordinary families, one or two Jurchens killed one or two people, and no one listened to their complaints. Such a gathering, for a certain person
For some people, when they stammered on stage about the tragedy of their own family, and someone listened to them, it was the first time in their lives that they discovered that they also had personality and dignity.
Occasionally, when Chinese soldiers came on stage and talked about how to kill the Jurchens, the crowd burst into hysterical shouts, and some people even fainted from crying.
When Xu Chunyi and others finished the meeting and came out with Guan Sheng, the whole scene was almost boiling. Guan Sheng put his arm around Xu Chunyi's shoulders.
"General Xu, the King of Jin trusted you when he was alive. Now that he is gone, we also trust you. To avenge the King of Jin, bite off a piece of Jurchen meat and fight here. If you and I advance together, we will advance together."
Retreat, we are actually one. From today on, please take care of me!"
Xu Chun looked solemn, then raised his hands and cupped them heavily.
The boiling night gradually calmed down. The long darkness passed. At dawn the next day, the eastern sky released a gorgeous morning glow. The soldiers changed their guards and climbed up the city wall. In the changing sky, they waited for the Jurchen army to arrive.
arrival.
On the sixth day of February, at noon, the Jurchen flag spread towards Linzhou City and appeared in everyone's field of vision. The handsome flag was fluttering. On the wall of Linzhou City, some veterans of the Chinese Army clenched the steel knives in their hands.
Or he grasped the bluestone on the wall, looked fiercely, and gritted his teeth.
In the eyes of the nearby city defenders, murderous aura soared into the sky. Over the years, facing Jurchen generals like Shu Liesu, troops who could emit such a tragic aura seemed to rush out of the city to fight rather than defend.
They have never seen it.
But these people don't know. In June of the fifth year of Jian Shuo, Shu Lie led his army to participate in the siege of Xiaocanghe River. After half a year of defensive defense, Xiaocanghe River burst its dam at the mouth of the valley. The troops of Qingmuzhai and Xiaocanghe River brazenly
Breakout. Although Ning Yi led an army of 20,000 to Yanzhou shortly afterwards, killing Ci and recovering a city, in the eyes of many Chinese soldiers, Shu Liesu also had his hands stained with the blood of his brothers.
Big enemy.
The startling glance in the snow at the beginning of the year, both of them resisted the urge to pounce on each other. To outsiders, it seemed like a generous and heroic conversation, but to both parties, it was a real life-or-death mentality.
The choice you made. But at this point, no one has to retreat.
The clouds in the sky changed shapes and rolled past quickly.
