The night in Chuzhou Mansion turned out to be so long. Guard Zhao Li couldn't remember the first time he raised his head and looked south. The sky was so dark that it made people worried. Standing behind Zhao Li was Deputy General Fang Zichou and several others.
Ten soldiers from the Chuzhou Prefecture. Fang Zichou looked at the sky and said: "General, it's going to rain heavily soon. Why don't we keep an eye on it here. General, please go back to your mansion and rest for a while."
Zhao Li shook his head and said: "Shao Bing, although I am not from the Chuzhou Prefecture, there are intact eggs under the raspberries. There are more than 30,000 pairs of eyes below the city looking at us. Chuzhou Prefecture has nothing to lose.
!The gate of the Song Dynasty is now in the hands of you and me. How can you let me rest? This place is now the only stumbling block for the Jin people to go south. The Jin people will definitely be afraid if they want to bypass Chuzhou Prefecture.
We are surrounded by enemies from both sides. Chuzhou Prefecture must not lose, otherwise we will really have no face to meet our ancestors!"
Fang Zichou smiled bitterly and said: "The general is concerned about the country and the people and seeks a way out for the people in the thatched cottage, but now in Lin'an City there are singing and dancing every night. Alas! The king who lives in the temple does not think about us, the people of the Song Dynasty. Even if the general and I are messed up, what does it matter?
Use it!"
Zhao Li heard this and said angrily: "I protect the country of the Song Dynasty. I just want to have a clear conscience and be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. As for what the king of the temple thinks, I don't care! It has only been four years since the humiliation of Jingkang.
People show off their power and wantonly invade our Central Plains. This is tolerable, but what is intolerable?"
"General, there is no need to be excited. I made a mistake. That treacherous minister Qin Hui spent his money to treason and surrender to the enemy to deceive the current emperor. Who can handle it? General Yue Fei is so brave and good at fighting that he suppresses him everywhere. Not to mention us little ones.
No one will remember the little general who defended the city even if he died." Fang Zichou looked dejectedly at the thick dark clouds billowing in the strong wind, and said helplessly.
Zhao Li pointed to the sky and then to the people below the city and said, "You are wrong. Heaven and earth will remember it! The people below the city will remember it! A man standing proudly between heaven and earth, it is enough for them to remember it!" Fang Zichou praised him!
He nodded and looked in the direction of Zhao Li's finger. There were more than 30,000 people in the city. Many of them were elders who watched him grow up, and also had their own family and friends. Now they were all looking at him, whether his life was
It's worth a few dollars, but as soon as Chuzhou Prefecture is defeated, they will become ghosts under the sword. I only hope that God will have mercy on Chuzhou Prefecture's left military captain Zhang Wei and his party can find the way south, so that the people in the city can avoid suffering! On top of the city
Zhao Li and Fang Zichou were silent for a long time, staring at the dark south.
"Shaobing, Zhang Xiaowei and the others have been gone for how long?" Zhao Li asked.
Fang Zichou looked at the sky and said: "It has been about two hours. The morning star in the east cannot be seen clearly among the dark clouds. It will be dawn in a while. General, don't be anxious. Captain Zhang is the same as General Wei."
They are all veterans who have experienced the battle of Jingkang. He is very skilled in martial arts. I guess it is because the Jin people are scouting horses. It is difficult for them to find the way, so they haven't made any move yet." Fang Zichou tried his best to think the best of the matter. On the one hand, he wanted to prevent Zhao Lita from getting too excited.
I was overly worried, but on the other hand, I was listening to comfort the soldiers behind me. Who kind of person Zhao Li was was immediately understood after hearing these ambiguous words. It usually takes less than half an hour to reach Thirty Miles, and two hours have already passed.
It has passed, and none of Zhang Xiaowei’s five people sent out any fireworks signals, so it must be a very bad thing...
Just after the fifth watch, the sky finally slowly started to light up. Hazey dark clouds were thickly pressed over Chuzhou Mansion, and there was a faint rumble of thunder. It looked like a heavy rain was coming.
The sky in April and May is like a little girl's face. It changes without any warning. Zhao Li put his hands behind his back and looked at the south like a statue, without blinking. Suddenly, a little black man appeared in the south.
Diedi was staggering towards the outer city of Chuzhou Prefecture. The soldiers with good eyes on the city wall shouted loudly: "It's Zhang Xiaowei, it's Zhang Xiaowei..." The people below the city heard someone shouting on the city wall, although they didn't know it.
Whatever happened, I couldn't wait to go up and see the noise and all kinds of things...
Zhao Li saw that Zhang Wei's body was now turned into rags, and only half of the long knife in his hand was left. He was also shot in the right leg, and large pieces of flesh and blood were turned out. On his side
As he walked, he shouted something from time to time, but he was too far away to hear. Fang Zichou stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "General, please leave the city quickly to rescue Captain Zhang and come back." Zhao Li just kept quiet.
Watching Zhang Wei walking toward the city gate with difficulty, he remained motionless as if he hadn't heard what Fang Zichou said.
Fang Zichou took a heavy tone and said: "The last general is calling for battle. Please open the door and save Lieutenant Zhang." However, Zhao Li remained silent, and Fang Zichou turned around and left in a hurry.
"Come back." Zhao Li shouted calmly, shocking Fang Zichou on the spot. "This is a fraud, and the city gate must not be opened! Zhang Xiaowei's injured legs and feet cannot be faster than the Jin's cavalry, but there is no one pursuing him.
Bing, this is so abnormal!”
Fang Zichou said angrily: "How can there be fraud? Zhang Xiaowei is so powerful in martial arts that he came out of the siege. Are we just going to watch Zhang Xiaowei die outside the gate of Chuzhou Prefecture?"
"Shaobing, calm down. If you open the city gate, you are playing with the lives of more than 30,000 people. You are gambling with the Chuzhou government. Shaobing, we cannot afford to lose! With five people out, there is only one chapter left.
Captain, this matter is most likely a trick of the Jin people!" Zhao ordered the soldiers to let all the people under the city enter the inner city. If anyone dares to disobey orders, he will be punished according to military law. All soldiers are ready to fight...
The more than 30,000 people under the city were called back to the inner city one after another by the soldiers. The common people always have a lot of thoughts. Some people want to run to the outer city, fearing that if the city gate is opened, they will run too slowly and their lives will not be saved.
.But military law is intolerant of mercy. If you disobey, the soldiers will drag you into the inner city. The soldiers on the city top have their swords unsheathed and arrows unstrung. They can go into battle with just one word from Zhao Li...
Zhang Xiaowei was only two hundred steps away from the Chujiang Mansion. The soldiers at the top of the city were holding swords and arrows, and there was a trace of cold sweat in their palms. They could vaguely hear Zhang Xiaowei yelling at the top of his lungs: "
Don't open the city gate... don't open the city gate... The golden dog is ambushing... The general... the South Road... all the roads and lanes on the south road... have been occupied by the golden dog..."
Zhao Li was shocked. Zhang Xiaowei ran back desperately to tell him that the South Road had been occupied by the Jin people. No matter how many people went out, they would die in vain. Just when Zhao Li was about to risk opening the city to save him, he saw people on both sides of the city wall.
There was a flash of white light in the woods. Zhao Li suppressed his grief and shouted to Zhang Wei outside the city gate: "Zhang Xiaowei, you are a model of the Song Army. As long as I, Zhao Li, have three inches of strength left, I will definitely give him a generous burial."
Lieutenant, all the archers fired rockets into the woods on both sides of the city!"
Zhang Wei, who was outside the city, also knew that the Jin man deliberately did not kill him and left him to be the stepping stone to open Chuzhou Mansion. However, he did not expect that the Jin man had already laid an ambush outside the city gate, and the rockets shot into the woods immediately.
There was a wailing. About a hundred people from the two rows of Jin people killed themselves out of the trees and rushed to the city gate with a roar. The archers on the top of the city looked at the poisonous scorpion-like ambush and shot out the flames of revenge...
Hundreds of golden soldiers were shot into sieves by the archers on the top of the city, and died screaming outside the city wall. Zhao Li held a long sword and was about to order the soldiers to open the city gate to rescue Zhang Wei, but from behind Zhang Wei
Not far away, a billowing dust horse rose up to cover the sky and the sun. I saw swords and snow and spears like a forest. Two black horses as tall as one person were sitting on Ta Lan and Jin Wu Shu. Zhao Li wanted to shout
The man who opened the city gate's words to save people were swallowed hard, and his fist hit the city head hard...
Zhang Xiaowei lamely tried to escape back to the city with his right leg. There was definitely no hope. The distance of two hundred steps became an uncrossable chasm. Looking at the crowd of golden men behind him, Zhang Xiaowei held on to his legs.
The sword turned around and cut off a section of arrow feathers exposed on his right leg. He turned lamely towards the Jin army. There was a lame Song army in front of the 100,000 Jin army, which seemed to be the funniest thing.
In the scene, Wan Yanchang shouted in the golden language: "Eagles of the Tiger and Wolf Camp, who will chop the lame Nanmanzi into meat paste for me? Let the Nanmanzi know that we, the Great Jin Kingdom, are invincible!"
Wan Yanchang spoke and glanced at Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu was the commander of the East Route Army and Wan Yanchang was the marshal of the Zuo Supervisory Army. His official position was slightly higher than that of Wan Yanchang, but Jin Wushu was in Jin Wushu's position.
He is regarded as a god in the army, so neither of them can order the other.
Wan Yanchang gave the order and three Jin soldiers came from the Jin Army brigade ###. They raised their swords and stabbed Zhang Xiaowei in the chest. Jin Wushu also knew the principle of killing people to establish authority and improve morale, so he designed and arranged the hidden weapons by himself.
The two-line Taza vanguard camp that arrived in the woods near the city was actually seen through by the guard Zhao Li. In less than one encounter, two hundred of them died outside the city wall. Killing a Song soldier now is just the right time to vent his anger!
The three Jin soldiers walked to a place less than ten feet away from Zhang Xiaowei and stopped. They looked at the wounded soldier of the Song Army playfully and said to each other in Jin language that whoever wanted military merit should go first, but they could not kill him.
When he had enough fun, he chopped him up again and again...
Zhang Xiaowei listened to their jabbering words and couldn't understand but he could understand what they meant. He shouted: "The Colonel Zuojun of the Chuzhou Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty is here. Today I will kill all of you golden dogs." Zhang Xiaowei said.
The captain was about to rush into the Jin army with a broken knife that was about a foot long. With a strong movement of his body, blood spurted out from the arrow wound on his leg. Zhang Xiaowei was so painful that he almost fell down in cold sweat...
Jin Jun laughed loudly, but Jin Wushu was the only one who did not laugh. Jin Wushu said to Wanyanchang: "This man has perseverance in his eyes, and his whole body exudes murderous intent like a wolf. I'm lazy, you'd better ask your men to kill him."
Kill him, otherwise it will only boost the morale of the Southern Barbarians."
Wan Yanchang's face froze, and he urged the three soldiers with golden words to kill the barbarian immediately. After hearing Wan Yanchang's scolding, the soldiers leaned forward and chopped off Zhang Xiaowei's head...
Lieutenant Jin lowered his head to avoid it, and cut off the knife in his hand to use it as a dagger. As soon as he stepped forward, he leaned in front of the golden soldier and slashed the golden soldier's waist with his backhand knife. Before the golden soldier could recover, he was already dead.
His stomach burst and he died. Thunderous cheers erupted from the top of the Chujiang Mansion City. Wanyanchang blew his beard and glared angrily. He stopped the remaining two golden soldiers, raised his long-handled machete, and rushed on his horse.
In front of him, the horse's galloping momentum and the machete were too heavy. Wanyanchang swung the machete round and struck at Zhang Xiaowei. Zhang Xiaowei raised his knife to block the machete, but he didn't expect the knife to break and hit him.
It was broken into two pieces again, and Wan Yanchang slashed off Zhang Xiaowei's shoulder and his right arm with a drag of the knife...
Suddenly it began to rain heavily. The heavy raindrops hit Zhang Xiaowei and immediately dyed blood red and flowed into the land outside Chuzhou Mansion...
