The leaves have fallen, and the wind blowing through the mountains has brought a slight chill, announcing the coming of winter. In the undulating mountains, the Xiaocang River flows quietly, and the waterwheel rotates as before, and the children walk down the mountain
There were not many residents walking on the roads in the valley. Due to the dispatch of the brigade, the fierce battle situation in the northwest continued. The training ground in the valley seemed empty, and the atmosphere was not active. It has been a solemn atmosphere for the past few days.
Everyone in the valley is also concerned about the development of the war situation outside.
Ning Yi walked on the mountainside and looked at the situation below.
It was the eleventh day after the war broke out. There was a certain delay in the news coming, but Ning Yi knew that every day before, the battle between the Chinese army and the Jurchen army was fought at the most intense level. It was reported not long ago
The first decisive battle report came to him, which surprised him. After confirming it, his mood became more complicated.
In the previous battles, due to the fierce fighting and chaotic situation, many Chinese soldiers separated from the brigade. Under such circumstances, on the fourth night of September, a team of more than 20 soldiers was in the process of looking for the main force.
Zhong ambushed the Jurchen formation in the Xuanjia'ao area of Qingzhou and made an unexpected contribution. More than 20 people launched an attack at the Jurchen temporary camp in the middle of the night and were suspected of killing Wanyan Loushi, the commander of the Jurchen West Route Army.
The news that came out at the beginning was still suspicious, because the main body of the news was still fighting.
On the night of the fourth day of September and the early morning of the fifth day of September, with the raid of more than 20 people as the trigger, the fighting in the Xuanjia'ao area erupted to an alarming degree. No one could have imagined the brutal confrontation and fight.
.Originally, every day's battle in the previous nine days was not easy, but the largest confrontations and firefights broke out twice. And that night, the two armies launched a full-scale confrontation for the third time.
The enemy was initially engaged by the Fourth Regiment of the Chinese Army, which was responsible for the night attack, but the Jurchens' subsequent reaction caused all the Chinese Army soldiers near Xuanjia'ao to be mobilized. Soon thereafter, there was a chaotic scene of full-scale engagement with the enemy.
, the Jurchen cavalry used their last strength and actually launched a large-scale charge at night, and Liu Chengzong and others once again pushed the artillery array forward.
Before this, in order to avoid the artillery array of the Chinese Army, Lou Shi was very careful every time he used troops. But this time the Jurchens' attack almost went up against the artillery array. After the initial shock, Qin Shaoqian and others realized that they were facing the artillery array.
After the fact that the command system failed, we began to deal with it calmly. The Jurchens' madness and strength still exerted great destructive power that night. After the chaotic and tragic battle, the Jurchen brigade was defeated and retreated, causing countless casualties and becoming a trigger.
The area around the ruined village of Xuanjiaao was the most fiercely contested, with almost a mountain of corpses left behind by the two sides.
According to the information initially collected after the war, the matter pointed to the direction that Wanyan Lou was killed by more than 20 raiding soldiers in the abandoned village of Xuanjiao. And not long after, the second information came from the battlefield, basically
This is confirmed.
There were only a few words from the battlefield, and it was hard to imagine how much hardship the people on the front line had experienced. Ning Yi was somewhat surprised that Wanyan Loushi, the god of war who had dominated the battlefield for decades, was suddenly killed, but it was not that
It is incomprehensible that the fierce confrontation in the previous days, the fighting and confrontation in every link, with the spirit that has been raised to the extreme, the Chinese army is no longer inferior to any army. And with that kind of spirit even after the tragic battle,
Soldiers who have to come back even if they leave the team, and who try their best to give the opponent a hard blow, each of them is not much humbler than Wanyan Loushi.
It's just that if Wanyan Loushi really dies, many things in the future may be different than previously expected.
After all, there is a difference between beating, delaying, talking, and beating again, and the Jurchens sparing no effort to attack.
In the northwest valleys after autumn, the colors after all the fallen leaves are gone always show a dignified yellow and gray color. Ning Yi chewed these things in his heart and just sighed. Since the Jurchens went south, everything has been like an iron flow, and now in the Central Plains
After the fall, millions of people migrated into exile, and no one was left alone. Since he was in the center of this whirlpool, there was no way out. Although he was sad, he would not feel afraid.
After thinking for a while, he returned to the room and responded to the message in front of him:
First, the members of Zhuji were asked to immediately publicize the news that Wanyan Loushi was killed in action.
Secondly, it is recommended that the frontline be cautious and beware of fraud. At the same time, if the death of Lou Shi is true, then regardless of any negotiation matters, the priority is to do everything possible to defeat the Jurchen army on the battlefield. As long as there is still power, no Jurchens should be let go.
The real people fled, and all the female real people who refused to surrender were killed in the northwest. It was necessary to make them understand the strength of the Chinese army.
Third,...
In the south of the Yangtze River, the Jurchens' search for mountains and seas had already begun.
************
After the battle at Xuanjia'ao, the war in the northwest did not subside because of the defeat of the Jurchen army. In the next few days, fierce battles raged between the reinforcements from all sides, and the Zhe family and the Zhong family had two successive conflicts.
In the great war of the 19th century, on the edge of Gyeongju, various forces, large and small, continued to fight.
Regarding the news about Lou Shi's murder, the Jurchen team after reorganizing their military has never confirmed it to the outside world. However, as various messages continued to ferment since then, people finally gradually realized that Wanyan Lou Shi, this soldier had several times in his life.
The famous Jurchen general who was nearly invincible was indeed killed by the Chinese army in a certain battle.
On the seventh day of September, Zhe Keqiu was vaguely aware of this. On the ninth day of September, in the Chonggang area of Qingzhou, the Jurchen army, which had lost its top command, launched a decisive battle with the Chinese army. The Chinese army had rows of hot air balloons equipped with crossbowmen.
Lifting into the air, dropping explosive packets in the air, at the same time, the artillery positions launched a bombardment against the Jurchen army. After a crazy detour, the Jurchen army, led by the original guard troops of Wanyan Loushi, launched a full-scale assault on the Chinese army.
, However, for the Chinese army at this time, such a reluctant attack basically does not have much meaning.
After this battle, all of Lou's personal guards were killed and wounded, and the rest of the Jurchen army no longer had the will to fight. Under the leadership of general Digu, they began to flee. The Chinese army pursued and killed thousands of enemies. After that, they were led by Han Jing.
The cavalry pursued the fleeing Jurchen army in the northwest.
With a flood of retreats and casualties, this was perhaps the most embarrassing battle since the Jurchen army went south. On the same day of September, Wanyan Xiyin, who was in Zhengzhou, after confirming the news of Lou Shi’s death, punched the study room
After the news of the defeat of the West Route Army came, he read the words Ning Yi asked Fan Hongji to bring many times.
"If you are still here, who is the Han Dynasty is dead?"
Over the years, Lou Shi's position in Zonghan's camp has been really important. He is also a very important general in the Jurchen court and has great military exploits. He has countless meritorious deeds on the battlefield and is highly skilled in martial arts. These are all achieved with one sword and one spear.
He worked hard to attack Puzhou two years ago. He even led three soldiers to the city with one person. The four men fought hard to open a gap at the top of the city. No one thought that he would suddenly die on the battlefield.
.He is an almost invincible hero.
Similarly, after learning about the death of Lou Shi and the defeat of the West Route Army, Wu Shu and others' offensive in the south of the Yangtze River was overwhelming. Yin Shu could capture Mingzhou. He was originally a kind-hearted general. After breaking the city, he
After the soldiers were restrained a little and learned the news of Lou Shi's death, he ordered the soldiers not to seal their swords for ten days. After that, the Jurchens massacred Mingzhou for several days, and then burned the city to the ground with fire.
"This account will be placed on the head of that person in the northwest." Yin Shuke said.
After that, the Jurchen East Route Army massacred several cities, and the Yangtze River Valley was littered with corpses.
*************
The blood was still spreading. In the color of the blood, he swung the object in his hand and smashed the Jurchen general below him beyond recognition. Then he chopped off the head, picked it up in his hand and threw it into the air.
"Come on -" he shouted.
The surrounding companions were approaching, and they formed a formation. In front, countless Jurchens rushed over, stabbing them back with swords and spears. The war horses bumped in. He slashed the enemies with his sword, and the surrounding companions were killed one by one.
Impaled and chopped down, the corpses piled up like a hill. He also fell, and the blood gradually flooded everything...
When he opened his eyes, there was white skylight in front of him.
It took Zhuo Yongqing a long time to realize that he was not dead. He was in a room where wounded soldiers were placed. There was someone on the bed next to him. Half of his head and face were wrapped in gauze, but he could vaguely identify him as squad leader Mao Yishan.
"Hey, kid, are you awake?" Mao Yishan was smiling.
It took him a while to figure out what had happened.
That night in Xuanjia'ao, they met Wanyan Loushi - he killed Wanyan Loushi. When Mao Yishan talked about it, Zhuo Yongqing didn't believe it, but not long after, Mr. Ning and others came to see him
He, he knew it was true.
In the bloody battle that night in Xuanjia'ao, there were countless casualties in the abandoned village. However, it was the Chinese army that came to have the upper hand in the end. A group of more than 20 people finally got together and rescued seven important people.
Among the wounded, two of them died not long ago, and there are five left alive. They are all temporarily placed in this room.
These five people are: Zhuo Yongqing, Luo Ye, Qu Qing, Hou Wu, and Mao Yishan.
In the following time, the five people woke up one after another. In winter, it started to snow outside. They had been recovering from their injuries for nearly two or three months. The war outside had long been over, and the Zhe family returned to their own territory to defend the city.
, with the support of the Chinese army, the Zhongjia army became more and more influential. The Jurchen army continued to kill in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, but at last, the northwest was temporarily peaceful.
The five people were settled in Yanzhou City at this time, and Mr. Ning, General Qin and others also came to see them occasionally. Luo Ye recovered from his injuries the fastest, and Qu Qing was the slowest. Three fingers on his left hand were cut off, and his leg was cut off.
He was also stabbed, and he may become lame in the future. Mao Yishan was cut to pieces, and Hou Wu's injuries were similar to Zhuo Yongqing's. There won't be any big sequelae after he recovers.
——Of course, the place where Zhuo Yongqing's hand was pierced by the knife will occasionally hurt after scarring, or it may be inconvenient to do things. This can only be regarded as a minor injury.
Because of the wound on his hand, Zhuo Yongqing occasionally thought of the mute woman who died in front of him.
Since Zhuo Yongqing's family was in Yanzhou, he went back to stay for a few days after his injuries gradually improved. After the New Year, all five of them had recovered. On this day, they went out together to celebrate their recovery. Several people were there
After ordering a table in the restaurant, Luo Ye said to Zhuo Yongqing: "Boy, I really envy you...it was you who killed Lou Shi." However, this was not the first time he had said similar words.
Zhuo Yongqing was quite embarrassed: "I, I still don't know if it is..."
They poured wine on the ground to pay homage to the dead souls. Soon after, Luo Ye raised his wine glass and paused: "If in the book, the five of us survive the catastrophe, we will become brothers. But to do such a thing
, is disrespectful to the dead and living people, because we, the Huaxia Army, all of us... have been brothers for a long time." He pursed his lips and shook the wine glass, "So, brothers and sisters, let's cheers!
"
Zhuo Yongqing held the wine glass: "Cheers...brother."
They didn't say anything more about how special the five people were. None of them were special, and they didn't necessarily have to stick together because of that. This was disrespectful to the deceased. They came from different places and gathered together as if they had already
The same goes for all members of the Chinese Army who are dead and still alive.
However, in the years that followed, Zhuo Yongqing always remembered this day. No matter how many wars, separations, hardships, struggles, shouts and even farewells they experienced in the future, he could always remember that many years ago
, the scene where he and such ordinary and unusual people gathered together.
That was the first winter he survived a catastrophe on the battlefield, and the northwest ushered in a brief period of peace.
