The autumn wind was chilling, the war drums roared like rain, and in the blazing fire, the night air was briefly close to solidification. The sound of the Jurchens' horse hooves shook the ground, moving forward like an angry wave, crushing over them. The breath hit the skin, and the vision was like
It started to twist slightly.
Before contact, there seems to be a quiet and brief vacuum period.
In the rear formation of the Black Flag Army, Bao Ashi held down the barrel of his gun, opened his mouth wide, and was exhaling air subconsciously. His scalp was numb, his eyelids were shaking desperately, and his ears could not hear the sound outside. Ahead, the Jurchen beast was coming
.
This is not the first time he has seen the Jurchens. Before joining the Black Flag Army, he was not an aborigine from the northwest. Bao Ashi was once a native of Taiyuan. When Qin Shaohe was guarding Taiyuan, Bao Ashi's family was in Taiyuan.
He once went to the city to participate in the war. When the city of Taiyuan was destroyed, he escaped with his family. His wife and children were lucky to survive, but his old mother died in a military accident on the road. He had seen the scene when the Jurchens massacred the city, and because of this, he understood the Jurchens better.
of strength and ferocity.
The Jurchens mainly fight with cavalry, and they often retreat if they fail to harass them. However, once the Jurchens' cavalry launches a charge, it is a life-or-death situation. When necessary, they are not afraid of death. At this time, Bao'a
Shi has become a soldier, and because of this, he can understand how terrifying such an army is.
Two or three iron barrel cannons flew out from behind and fell into the rushing cavalry. The explosion rose for a moment, but the momentum of the seven thousand cavalry was so huge that it was like pebbles being stirred up in a huge wave.
A little splash of water, but the huge everything has not changed.
There was fear in Bao Ashi's heart. In the impact he was about to face, he was afraid of death. However, one person after another around him did not move. "Don't retreat..." he said subconsciously in his heart.
The horseshoes were getting closer and closer, and the voice came back. "Don't retreat, don't retreat..." He said subconsciously, and then, the vibration around him gradually turned into shouts, one person, a group of people, an array of two thousand people
It turned into a giant steel-like wall with thorns. Bao Shi felt his eyes turn red and opened his mouth to shout.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh-"
The hysterical sound penetrated everything.
Behind the big shield, Nian Yongchang was also shouting.
He is a veteran of Wurui Camp. He followed Qin Shaoqian to stop the former Jurchens from going south, suffered defeats, fought against the resentful army, and fled with his life. He is a man who works hard to earn wages. He has no family and does not have many opinions.
I lived in a state of confusion, and when the Jurchens came to kill me, large swaths of dead people really began to appear around me.
He had seen all kinds of deaths, the deaths of his companions, being massacred and chased by the Jurchens, and the deaths of many civilians. Some of them made him sad, but there was nothing he could do about it until he defeated the Xixia people.
Mr. Ning organized several blind dates in Yanzhou and other places. With the help of Mr. Ning and others, a bitter family took a fancy to his strength and honesty and actually married their daughter to him. When they got married,
He was completely confused and at a loss.
As a hard-working soldier, it was not like he had never touched a woman before. In the past, there were many shady brothels near the army. For those who could get by, their pay was often spent on women instead of eating and drinking.
In this regard, Nian Yongchang has not passed away much, but he is no longer a young child. However, he never thought that one day he would have a family.
The year they got married, he was thirty. The woman was eighteen. Although her family was poor, she was an honest and honest family. Although she was not very beautiful, she was strong and hard-working, and could not only do the work at home, but also work in the fields.
, and he can do everything. The most important thing is that women rely on him.
Nian Yongchang likes her smile the most.
Before going out this time, the woman was already pregnant. Before going out, the woman was crying. He sat in the room and had no choice - there was nothing more to explain. He once thought about telling his wife what he had done when he was a soldier.
He had seen death, the women whose stomachs were cut open during the Jurchen massacre, and the babies who were starved to death after their mothers died. He had also felt sad before, but the sadness was completely different from the feeling he remembered at this moment.
.
But he didn't say it in the end.
He is a veteran. He has seen too much death and experienced too many battles. He has never felt strange about this moment of life and death. His shouts are just to maintain excitement in the most critical moments, only here.
For a moment, what came to his mind was his wife's smile.
Want to live.
Want to go back.
The cavalry rushed in like a tidal wave——
…
To the south, Yanzhou City battlefield.
Luo Ye slashed hard and cut down the last enemy who was still resisting. There was blood and smoke everywhere. He looked at the figures of the Zhong family army in front and the large tracts of surrendering troops, and looked to the north.
Attacking Yan Zhenguo, the next step on my side is the easiest task. Across the field of vision, the collision with the Jurchens is about to begin...
…
The raging waves are colliding and spreading.
boom--
The cavalry charging at high speed collided with the shields, and the sound of the gunfire sounded terrifying and weird in the distance, like a huge hill collapsing, constantly hitting people. Individual shouts suddenly broke out in the boiling sound.
It stopped, and then formed an astonishing momentum and crushing force. Some flesh and blood turned into powder, the bones of the war horses burst into pieces during the collision, the human body flew into the air, the shield twisted and cracked, and the iron rod supported on the ground pushed up the stone.
Blocks and dirt began to slide.
The collision between an array of two thousand people and seven thousand cavalry was a shocking and terrifying scene at this moment. The horses in the front row were killed by force, and the back row continued to rush forward. The shouts finally broke out. Some people
The place was pushed open. Under such an momentum, recruit Jiang Huo was one of the first to bear the brunt. Amidst the hysterical shouting, overwhelming pressure hit him from the front. His body was slapped by the broken shield, and he couldn't help but
The ground flew backward, and then the heavy body of the war horse squeezed on him. With a bang, he was pressed under the war horse. At this moment, he could no longer think or move. The huge force continued to crush him from above.
Pressed over, at the bottom of the heavy pressure, his body was twisted, his limbs were broken, and his internal organs were ruptured. What flashed in his mind was his mother's face in the Xiaocang River.
The corpses of war horses and people almost piled up in the collision of several breaches, with thick blood spilling out. The war horses were screaming and kicking. Some Jurchen knights fell into the pile of people, got up and wanted to chop, but were then killed.
The spears were pricked like hedgehogs, the Jurchens kept rushing towards them, and the black flag soldiers from behind pushed forward hard!
Life is either long or short. On the hillside farther north, Wanyan Loushi led two thousand cavalry and rushed towards the front line of the Black Flag Army. Many lives that should have been long arrived in this brief moment.
end.
Countless lines are broken.
Wanyan Loushi was on the front line. He and his bodyguards broke a hole in the Black Flag Army's formation and fought bravely to kill him. Not only was he a powerful soldier, he was also one of the most valiant generals in the Jin Army.
In the early years, when the Jin army was small, they often rushed to the front line. When he led the army to attack Puzhou City two years ago, the Wu Dynasty army held fast. He once climbed to the city on a ladder with defensive measures and met with three relatives.
The guards fought bravely at the top of the city, and finally gained a foothold at the top of the city and captured Puzhou City.
Leading his troops to charge in person represented the importance he attached to this battle.
The violent collision continued, and some places were washed away. However, the crowd of black flag soldiers in the rear was like a solid rock. The spearmen and hammer soldiers pushed forward, and people fought with shouts. In the crowd, Chen Libo was drowsy.
He stood up on the ground. There was blood in his mouth and nose. He moved his left hand to hold the handle of the knife in his right hand, but he had no strength. He turned around and saw that there was a big bulge on his forearm. This was a broken bone. He shook his head and looked around him.
The man was still resisting. So he took a breath and raised the steel knife.
"Shield forward! Move closer to me -"
The men of the company came closer and formed a new formation. On the battlefield, the Jurchens were still clashing. The formation was small, like pieces of rocks, and the cavalry formation was large, like a sea wave. During the frontal collision, the flanks had spread. They began to move towards the center.
By extension, soon they will cover the entire battlefield.
They are waiting for the collapse of this army.
This is a no-frills collision between life and life. Those who retreat will suffer total death.
In countless battles in the past, not many people could persist in this kind of equal collision. Not the Liao people, not the Wu Dynasty people. The so-called elite soldiers can persist a little longer. This time, there may not be too many people.
Many exceptions.
The overflowing cavalry has already rushed towards the center of the formation at a very fast speed. The hillside is shaking. They want the Kongming Lantern and everything in front of them. Qin Shaoqian pulled out his long sword: "Charge with me -"
On the flank of the battlefield, Han Jing rushed over with his cavalry, and the rage of two thousand cavalry began to collide with that of another cavalry.
The fighting extended to everything in sight, but at least at this moment, the Black Flag Army, which was resisting in this tide, remained unmoving.
"Block——"
"Come on, Jurchen bastard——"
"No retreat! No retreat—"
"Ahhhhhhhh-"
The screams, whether resolute, angry or sad, burned into a piece, and the heavy hammer hit the iron felt. The heavy hammer kept hitting the iron felt, exploding under the night sky.
On the flank of Yanzhou City, Zhong Lie, who was about to gather his troops, suddenly turned his head. On that side, emergency fireworks rose into the sky, and a warning sound suddenly sounded.
"Jurchen siege——"
At the moment when he launched his strongest offensive against the Black Flag Army, Wanyan Loushi, the Jurchen God of War, also attacked Yanzhou City.
************
In the Xiaocang River Valley, the starry sky was as clear as a long river. Ning Yi sat on a tree stump in the yard and watched the scene under the starry sky. Yunzhu came over and sat down next to him. She could see that he was not at peace in his heart.
Yunzhu held his hand.
"There's a war." Ning Yi said softly.
"Yeah." Yunzhu nodded gently.
…
At the same moment, in the mountains a few miles away from the Yanzhou battlefield, an army was still extending forward at a rapid march. There were about five thousand people in this army, and the same black flag almost melted into the night. The leader of the army
The person is a woman, wearing a black cloak and a bronze mask with fangs on her face. She looks terrifying.
The last viable force that Qingmuzhai could use, under the leadership of Lu Hongti, cut to the retreat of the Jurchen army. On the way, they encountered countless armies that had been defeated from Yanzhou, and one of the still-organized troops almost met them head-on.
Encountered him, and then ran away like a wild dog.
During the escape, Yan Zhenguo fell from his horse. Before the guards came to help him, he had already rolled up and down the road. As he walked back, he looked back at the direction where the army disappeared: "Black Flag."
Army, the Black Flag Army again..."
The staff hurriedly approached: "They are also going to Yanzhou. They met Wanyan Lou's room. It's hard to be lucky..."
"...Yes, that's right." Yan Zhenguo was stunned and nodded subconsciously. That night, the Black Flag Army went crazy. At that moment, he even suddenly realized that the Black Flag Army wanted to swallow up the Jurchen West Route Army.
