The head of the city of Wozhou.

The cold wind roared at the top of the city, blowing against the human body like a knife. When he opened his mouth, the smell of blood like rust came out of his throat. The voice of killing was like thunder, boiling over the entire battlefield. The figures came pouring in,

The iron rod in his hand hit the man's head. The nearly two hundred kilogram body fell down like a wild boar galloping in the mountains. The sound of the skull hitting the bluestone was dull and permeating, mixed in with countless sounds.

Arrows were flying. In the ice and snow, there were smoke and fire on the city walls. Soldiers pushed huge rolling logs and threw them down the city. A stone flew across the sky and suddenly zoomed in on one side of the field of vision. He dragged a soldier to the side.

It rolled over, and the splashed stone fragments hurt people's faces, and their vision became shaken in the loud noise. Shi Jin shook his head, got up from the ground, grabbed a long spear in his hand, and ran

The two Jurchen soldiers rushed towards the city more than ten feet away.

Affected by the stone throw, his vision and balance had not yet been restored. He stabbed a Jurchen soldier several times with the spear in his hand before piercing the chest of a Jurchen soldier. The Jurchen soldier was tall and strong, as strong as a bison. He held on to the gun barrel and refused to let go.

Another Jurchen warrior had already rushed over from the side. Shi Jin shouted loudly and fired with all his strength. The gun barrel shattered into pieces of wood. He stepped over and struck the Jurchen on the head with his heavy hand.

The man's body suddenly collapsed onto the city wall.

The Jurchen warriors who were fighting from the side jumped into the air and slashed back with their swords. Just when they turned around, Shi Jin's body had already collided with him. He opened his bloody mouth and stabbed half of the gun shaft into his neck. Poof.

There was a loud sound and thick blood burst out. The Jurchen warrior retreated in the struggle. As Shi Jin pulled out the gun barrel, he fell into a pool of blood under the female wall, making no sound.

Shi Jin then turned back and retrieved his weapon. Not far away from his field of vision, at a corner of the city wall, dozens of Jurchen soldiers had already surged up. The city guarding sergeants kept retreating during the fight. Some generals were shouting loudly, Shi Jin.

Jin then tightened his grip on the iron rod in his hand and rushed towards it.

"Don't retreat—kill them—"

Countless hoarse roars merged into a tide of battle, and looking around, the siege soldiers were still divided into three groups in the snowfield below, running towards each other. In the snow in the distance, the siege army camp was rising.

, is the banner of the Jurchen generals' speed.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the traditional Laba Festival, this was already the second time Shu Lie's troops attacked Wozhou.

The city's defenses are in danger.

Not long before this, in the Fenzhou territory south of Taiyuan City, the army of the King of Jin experienced a huge defeat. More than 400,000 people were defeated, retreated south, and fled in rout. Amid the chaotic news, the Jin army, who was leading the expedition in person, suffered a huge defeat.

Wang Tianshi was washed away and his whereabouts are unknown.

…

Ice and snow.

Countless people were walking in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Tian Shi was wearing a black suit, and he and the soldiers around him supported each other and headed south. After a huge defeat, they fled all night.

At that time, he only felt cold and hot, but he had not told the people around him yet. From time to time, he would turn around and shout a few words loudly to the crowd behind him.

Naturally, he has a horse, but he is not riding at this time. It is said that a general who is good at fighting should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers around him. During the war, he had never behaved like this, but now that he was defeated, he felt that as a prince,

I don't know if it will be useful at the time when I should set such an example.

He didn't know how many soldiers were following him, and there were many things he should think about, but his thoughts could no longer be condensed. At some point, Tian Shi felt his eyes go dark and fell down on the snow...

…

Wei Sheng, the atmosphere is chilling.

The procession of horse-drawn carriages drove through the long street to Tianji Palace at one end of the city.

Lou Shuwan was looking at a huge map in the car with lights on. The news of Prince Jin's disappearance had reached here as quickly as possible. She suppressed her thoughts, and there were already many signs on the map.

Traces of various armies are found on the drawn map, summarizing various possibilities for the current situation.

As soon as a war occurs, military information will be transmitted to the centers of various forces as quickly as possible. When she can receive the message, it means that others have also received the message. At this time, she must stabilize the situation of the entire center.

.

The surroundings of the carriage were sealed. In the light of candles, the eyes of the woman who had not rested since yesterday were red, but she still opened her eyes wide. Suddenly, the body of the carriage jolted, and the floor

Shu Wan stretched out her hand to hold the lamp, and heard shouts coming from outside: "Kill...that bitch..."

"The hen Si Chen brings disaster to the country and the people..."

"Traitor, bitch——"

"Open your eyes..."

"Being used——"

"Crime deserves death——"

…

Chaotic shouts intertwined together. You Hongzhuo held his breath, drew his long knife, and walked toward the front of the room, faster and faster...

What came through the vibration of the floor was a burst of footsteps in the next room. The light in the window became brighter and brighter, and You Hongzhuo jumped out. Someone also rushed out of the window next door, with a red gun in his hand aimed at the person below.

In the motorcade, You Hongzhuo raised his long sword and flew into the air. The other party even looked at him in surprise.

brush.

The white-haired and long-bearded head flew into the sky. You Hongzhuo fell towards the ground. The crowd who rushed out shouted, and he swung his blade and rushed towards the green forest assassins.

"Protect the female prime minister!"

"You idiot should be damned——"

"You don't even listen to what the Dragon King says!"

Murderous aura——

…

"What's going on?" Lou Shuwan asked, but he probably knew it in his heart.

"Some people are assassinating you, and others are here to protect you. Mr. Lou, we..."

"..." Lou Shuwan listened quietly to the mixed sounds outside. Perhaps her eyes were slightly warm because she had been exposed to the firelight for too long. Then she reached out and wiped her mouth and nose vigorously, "Leave a team of people to catch the assassin.

Let’s continue to the Imperial City.”

"yes."

The carriage started to move again, leaving the whole long street where the fighting was still going on.

…

In Linzhou City, another round of siege battle is going on. The attacking party is the most elite Ming army under Wang Juyun. Due to the hasty attack, the siege equipment is quite insufficient. However, with Wang Juyun himself taking the lead, the entire battle situation remains the same.

It seemed extremely tragic.

Linzhou originally belonged to Zhangde. Like Wozhou, it was also one of the cities on the fringes of the Jin Dynasty's northeastern power. The general defending Linzhou, Li Chengzhong, led more than 37,000 troops. Four days ago, he announced a change of flag and joined the army.

King Jin's division was defeated all the way, and Wang Juyun, who led his elite troops to the nearby area, desperately attacked the city by force, hoping to destroy Linzhou before the Jurchen reinforcements arrived, as a warning to others.

The loss is huge.

The garrison of Linzhou City is not having an easy time either. Although the Jurchen power has been hanging over everyone's heads for more than ten years, now that the army is coming, the surrender has not encountered too much resistance, but of course it cannot inspire too high morale. Both sides

During the back-and-forth attack and defense, Li Chengzhong also ran up to the city and constantly cheered up the defenders.

"Hold the city wall! The Jin army will be coming soon..."

"Admiral Wanyan Saba, the great general of the Jin Dynasty, is here with his army. He only needs to hold on for one more day! Guard for one more day——"

Wanyan Saba's army was indeed on the way. Wang Juyun's army attacked for three days but failed to capture the city defense. The morale of both the attacking and defending sides gradually waxed and waned. By the afternoon of this day, the southeast side of the city

, a flag appeared there.

Saba's army must have come from the north, so should the troops coming from the south be reinforcements from the Jin Dynasty's forces, or the Jurchen East Route Army had already decided on their names and sent reinforcements? Li Chengzhong ran towards the east of the city wall, and then saw an army

The army appeared in the field of vision. On the snowy ground, the color of the flag was extremely bright...

"Who...how could...how could he be black..."

The black flag is spreading towards this side...

*****************

In the winter of the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo's reign, heavy snow gradually froze the land north of the Yangtze River. However, the war north of the Yellow River never stopped for a moment from the beginning.

In September and October, the Jurchens' eastern and western armies fought one after another against the enemies blocking the front. The East Route Army quickly compressed the battle in the Damingfu area, but the West Route's tenacious resistance had only just opened up at this time.

Curtain.

From Yanmen Pass to the ruins of Taiyuan, Wang Juyun and Tian Shi resisted one after another. After being dispersed, they continued to gather together. Millions of troops gathered or dispersed, as if they were constantly consuming the Jurchen army.

However, as the most outstanding veterans among the founding generation of the Jin Dynasty, Zong Han and Xi Yin continued to defeat the waves of attacks. By the end of October, Shu Lie led the partial division across Wozhou, and in Yin Shu Ke,

With the cooperation of generals such as Ba Lisu and Sa Ba, the oncoming force created one problem after another.

Shu Liesu's first attack on Wozhou was finally delayed until Yu Yulin's army came south to relieve the siege under the stubborn resistance of the Wozhou defenders and many civilian forces such as Lin Zongwu and Shi Jin. In November, the ice and snow

The battle that unfolded here was only slightly slower than in other seasons. The successive defeats of Wang Juyun, Tian Shi, Yu Yulin and others led to the continuous reduction of the number of troops on the front line. The defeated soldiers retreated south, surrendered, and even fought with large troops during their escape.

There are countless people who have frozen to death in the snow.

Although at the beginning of the war, the leaders of Wang Juyun and King Jin had determined that this was a war of attrition with constant defeats, but after more than a month of attrition, despite the worst preparations, the two groups of armies

Military morale and strength still dropped to a low point.

On the third day of December, Li Chengzhong and Linzhou City announced the surrender of the Jurchens, triggering a sudden change in the entire situation. The 400,000-strong army led by Tian Shi was defeated and fled in the face of Xi Yin's attack. In order to kill Tian Shi, the Jurchen army chased the defeated soldiers.

For ten miles, countless defeated troops were massacred, and the news was announced to the outside world that King Tian Shi of Jin had accepted the offer. Wang Juyun, who was constantly defeated and fled south, and could only gather more than 30,000 elite troops at one time, immediately mobilized all his troops to attack Linzhou, hoping that in the whole
