Time: August 8, the fourth year of Xuanhe, in the evening.
The location was in the northeast outside Pingzhou City, on a small mound only about two miles away from the city where smoke was billowing and people were shouting for murder.
Looking at Pingzhou City in front of me, the scene now can only be described as a human tragedy.
In great anger, the singer cursed: "These damn bastards, they really deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell, and they will never be reincarnated~"
During the singer's scolding, several men dressed as peasants around him did not speak, but their heads with frightened expressions kept nodding, expressing their strong agreement with the singer's idea.
It should be noted that the people the singer is cursing now are not the Jurchens.
It was the surrendered Liao soldiers in the city, as well as the former Liao minister who led them to surrender, Kang Gongbi, who was named the governor of Pingzhou by the Northern Song Dynasty officials.
The reason why the singer hates Kang Gongbi and others so much now.
On the one hand, because of the cruelty of the Jurchens, this has long been known to everyone.
The scene before them of murder, arson, robbery and robbery was their basic operation.
In fact, Taiping Fort is only a dozen miles away from Pingzhou City.
As he spoke, he had already galloped down a small slope that was only a dozen meters high. After climbing onto the horse below, he began to return toward Taiping Fort.
You know! In the Northland, which was originally a war-torn country, this year's heavy rains caused almost a complete loss of crops.
An astonishing number of Liao soldiers' cannon fodder troops, driven by those real men, attacked Taiping Fort like a tide.
But now, there should be 22,300 soldiers and horses left.
Since the Jurchens entered the city, they immediately dispatched almost half of their troops and took control of all four gates of Pingzhou City; then the remaining personnel were massacred crazily in the city.
Therefore, after the Jurchens issued an invitation to these surrendered soldiers, these surrendered soldiers also turned into crazy beasts in an instant.
In order to save time, we gathered all the remaining netizens together.
Just at this time, a civilian husband saw something.
As if his own father had arrived, he knelt down to welcome the Jurchen army and ushered them in.
Compared to their subordinates, the civilian men who used cutting sticks were much more powerful in combat.
It allows the singer to explain the latest situation clearly at once to avoid wasting more time.
In short, since these surrendering soldiers started to take action, even though they were separated by a few miles and a city wall, the screams, begging for mercy, and some screams before death could be clearly heard by the singers.
In human ears.
In short, a picture like this quickly appeared in the singer's head involuntarily:
The powerful Eight Ox Crossbow nailed the thick crossbow arrows directly and deeply into the earthen wall of Taiping Fort, forming a series of steps.
So Hu Biao had already guessed something about what happened there.
It was finally decided that this matter should be discussed with everyone after returning home.
As for the actual military strength, the singer knew that there were still 27,000 to 8,000 soldiers.
Even among the soldiers and horses above, many are refugees who have only been recruited into the army for a few days. Their combat effectiveness is far behind those of the veterans.
Even Zhang Jue's share of the eight-niu crossbow and the double-bow crossbow that were removed from the Dengzhou Navy now fell into the hands of the Jurchens without firing a single shot.
In addition, they have equipment such as weapons and armor.
In the night, they could clearly see the huge fire rising over there in Taipingbao; the shouts of killing could also be faintly heard in their ears.
After the singer heard the words, he took a look and found that there was a Jurchen with a size of conspiracy, leading three hundred Liao cavalry. After leaving the city from the north gate, he came straight to kill them.
To be more precise, about an hour ago, when the singer saw about 2,788 Jurchen cavalry galloping towards them, he knew that the situation was seriously bad.
Comparing it to several civilians, after seeing the scene in front of them, they had a complex mood full of fear and sadness like a rabbit dead or a fox dead.
Except for the singer and Ali, the condition of the two others was slightly better. The injuries on the others were quite serious, and Zhan Xiang's condition was very serious.
After thinking of this, the singer knew that Taiping Fort could not be defended because it was impossible to defend it; but if they did not defend it, how could they complete their mission?
Frankly speaking, the singer didn't have any clue at the moment.
Hu Biao, who was sitting by a fire in the Taiping Fort, said this in his mouth after trying hard to digest the news that the singer had just brought back.
As of now, there are seven people left including Hu Biao, Fengrui, Ah Li, Lao She, Singer, Er Pang, and Zhan Xiang.
Ever since Zhang Jue obtained a large amount of grain, weapons and armor from the wealthy Northern Song Dynasty, he began to recruit troops on a large scale.
It is said that he has an army of 50,000 men, so naturally there is quite a lot of talent among them.
By the way! After the singer hurried back, looking at the ugly look on this guy's face, Hu Biao knew that the situation was very bad.
As expected, after seeing the Jurchen army approaching, the defenders in the city did not panic at all, but opened the gate decisively.
That's when that tragedy will officially happen.
As a result, there were more than 20,000 troops, and now they all fell into the hands of the Jurchens.
****
"The singer is right. Taipingbao will definitely not be able to hold on if we stick to it. We must think of other ways."
And I am afraid that this is something that even these wallflowers have not thought of.
Although in order to support Haiyang City, one thousand of Zhang Jue's most elite cavalry were wiped out by the Jurchens, and when Kang Gongbi and others attacked Zhang Jue, they also consumed some of each other's troops.
Although at this time, the original team of 31 netizens is now only a handful of people, we still need to use our collective strength.
At this moment, in the singer's heart, he is more anxious to get angry.
He was already shouting: "Ge Yuhou, those Jurchens are coming."
It was as if they wanted to vent the depression they had endured in Haiyang City, Hu Biao and others these days through such a method.
But after all, these people are carefully selected from the refugees, who are strong and capable of using some swords and guns.
Or he knelt down to beg for mercy, kowtowing like he was pounding garlic.
Facing such opponents, their civilian men holding wooden sticks dropped their sticks and ran away during the encounter.
Because they were more familiar with Pingzhou City, they attacked more efficiently and brutally.
Then the remaining netizens were besieged one by one and died one by one in anger.
In order to have a full meal and not to starve to death, how many soldiers and horses do you want as long as you have food?
If there is such a thing as hell and retribution in this world, these people are destined to go to hell, so there is no need for such emphasis and explanation in the singer's mouth.
You can tell at a glance that these guys who have breasts are mothers, so they simply surrendered to the Jurchens and abandoned the so-called Song Dynasty.
The targets of their attacks were only the wealthy households and civilians in the city. The families of those who surrendered to the Liao soldiers were not included in this category.
Even at that time, the singer could faintly hear the cheers of "The sword will not be sealed".
If you can get over the steps built by these ballistas, you can easily climb up the low city wall.
Of course, these Jurchens did not completely kill the red eyes.
On the other hand, those former Liao soldiers who surrendered with Kang Gongbi were the main force in this massacre.
And such a scene does not have to wait too long; maybe after a good night of venting today, the Jurchens who have recovered tomorrow morning will launch an attack on Taiping Fort.
Seeing this, the singer shouted loudly: "Let's go back to Taipingbao~"
After several days of recuperation, the war elephant could only move reluctantly, and it was absolutely impossible to fight.
Anyway, after hearing what the singer said, Hu Biao immediately realized that Taiping Fort could not be defended under normal circumstances.
Damn it! Almost all the members of the team were disabled, Xuan Ge's close men and women basically had no fighting ability, and a group of temporarily mobilized civilians could not fight at all, and they did not dare to fight.
In such a situation, they couldn't defend themselves even with their lives.
So the question is, since we can't defend this place, what should we do with the system tasks, and what should we do with so many soldiers and civilians?
