The broken half head was put in a bamboo basket and sent to the negotiation table in front.
Gao Qingyi's roar stopped. It is said that after seeing Xie Bao's head, he was silent for a long time, and then said to Lin Qiu: "You have deceived people so much, don't you think you should be afraid?"
Lin Qiu replied: "In the past ten years, you have done countless things like this. When you see his end, you should start to be afraid."
The negotiation ended for more than half an hour.
The sky gradually darkened, the torches were lit, and all the troops on the battlefield were waiting solemnly. In the darkness, the reconnaissance teams went out one by one.
Soon after, Gao Qingyi returned to the negotiating table and asked the Chinese army to return Wanyan Xiebao's body. Lin Qiu still refused: "Mr. Ning only told me to negotiate with General Gao about the exchange of prisoners. If it has nothing to do with it, I
He has no authority to negotiate. Or does General Gao still want to waste his precious time on a corpse?"
"Then..." Gao Qingyi's eyes were cold, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "When your people go back to report the news later, please take this request and submit it to Mr. Ning later."
The entire negotiation started in this gnashing of teeth atmosphere. More than an hour later, the messenger brought back Ning Yi's instructions on how to deal with Xie Bao's body: "If the prisoner exchange goes smoothly, Xie Bao's body will be left behind after the prisoner exchange."
It was sent back as a gift to comfort Commander Nianhan after losing his son."
Gao Qingyi expressed his gratitude.
…
The night is quiet.
In the seemingly peaceful atmosphere of negotiations in front of Shiling, more intersections and fighting are taking place in the dark mountains and forests.
Before Hai hour, two medium-sized fights broke out in the mountains a few miles southwest of Shiling. The scouts met in the forest and launched the most adventurous and deadly fight in the dark night. The Jurchen generals
Yu Yu personally went to the front line and led the troops out.
At 11:00 a.m., the flames of the "Dijiang River" rose in the darkness in the distance, and could be vaguely seen from Shiling. Five rockets were fired at the hillside where Yu Yu and others gathered, and the flames lit up.
Entering the woods, the scout team led by Du Sha made a large-scale surprise attack on the Jurchen scouts.
The breakthrough and rescue in the direction of Wangyuan Bridge was blocked again, and the negotiation process in Shiling subsequently included mutual accusations and shirking of responsibilities.
In the Jurchen military camp, more rescue and breakthrough plans organized by Wanyan Sheyema, Ba Lisu and others are also being carried out at the same time.
Near midnight, in the camp of the Han army Li Rulai in the mountains to the northeast, the light appeared low and dark. Only dots of light were shining in the tent. Li Rulai had already received the Chinese army's message in the tent.
The information is waiting for the arrival of the Chinese military negotiators.
Fire and chaos suddenly erupted in the camp outside the big tent. Someone shouted: "Catch the spy!" The fierce wind and fire were also mixed with the shouts of countless Jurchens. He opened the curtain of the big tent and went out, and the deputy general ran.
Come over: "Wanyan Saba is here..."
"Over there..." Li Rulai frowned and looked at the other end of the chaos. The deputy general said: "A spy sneaked in. Fortunately, he was discovered and caused chaos. The spy seemed to have escaped in the chaos."
"Escaped?"
"...Escaped."
"Seal the camp Dasuo, I want to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
He frowned and looked, and saw that the torch of Wanyan Saba's cavalry was already nearby. When the brigade rushed in front of him, he saw Wanyan Saba, dressed in great attire, getting off his horse: "General Li, the commander is about to
At Shiling, a large-scale attack was launched in the direction of Wangyuan Bridge. The Black Flag Army was already frightened. Our spies detected that the enemy would make a big move starting tonight. The commander-in-chief ordered me to come and assist General Li in the attack."
The Han general bowed and knelt down: "Li Rulai obeys the order!"
Listening carefully, the sounds of fighting in the darkness turned into the sound of wind roaring.
*************
Wangyuan Bridge. The wind whimpers by.
In the early morning, Pu Sanhun felt cold.
He didn't know what time it was. He took a nap. When he woke up, the sky was filled with stars. He felt that the people around him were trembling. His hands were also trembling.
He hasn't felt cold in years.
The coldest winter in the world is in the North. Heavy snow howls for months, and families huddle together around the fire pit. Food is often not enough in winter. When he was a boy, many people froze in such winters.
Starve to death.
After joining the army, I rarely have days like this.
Pu Sanhun joined the army at the end of the Ping Liao Dynasty. He was already in his early twenties at that time. He did not catch up with the first round of major military achievements. However, because of his status as a Jurchen, he dared to fight and fight hard. After joining the army, he became the backbone of the army.
He still fought a lot of battles, killed a lot of people, and gained a lot of benefits.
In the eleventh year of Tianhui, he entered the Yanshan Guard as an elite and was promoted to Mouke (centurion). The Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom were young. As long as ordinary Jurchen warriors have a clear mind, they can be promoted quickly, but Mouke of Pusanhun is different from other Jurchen warriors.
There are differences in the army. Most of his subordinates are elite warriors with the Jurchens as the backbone. This is an elite combat force that has always existed to maintain the Jurchens' reputation as "invincible." It is as common as the Jin Kingdom.
In the army, he is worthy of being a commander of thousands. If he is in front of the Han army, he is equivalent to a general who is the leader of ten thousand men.
At that time, although the Yanshan Guards experienced a setback due to the death of Lou Shi, the quality of their own soldiers was extremely high. Zong Han Xiyin and others made arrangements in advance for the southwest battle, and personally led the army with Xie Bao, who was second only to
Tu Shanwei built a strong army, showing great importance. The backbone of the army like Pu Sanhun naturally received a lot of preferential treatment.
Prosperity, wealth, fiefs and mansions, beauties and money, for the Jurchens at this moment, such enjoyments are nothing to mention. Pu Sanhun, who is now in his thirties, is not lost in it. In fact, just like many first-year-olds who have fought hard to survive.
Generally speaking, the success of a generation of entrepreneurs has gone through real tests, such as fighting, life and death. What really fascinates them is that over the past ten years, they have gradually become the best among people from a situation where they had no clothes to wear.
That sense of human power.
After killing countless people, money and beauty will come naturally. After fighting every battle, compliments and respect from others will naturally appear. Pu Sanhun loves the feeling of fighting and loves the reputation of being "invincible"
, this will bring them all good things and solve all problems.
After joining the Yanshan Guards who had the "stigma" of defeat, the army has been preparing for the conquest of Black Flag, and the superiors are also shouting to avenge Lou Shi, but Pu Sanhun does not feel much about this. Occasional defeats do not
It doesn’t mean anything. Marshal Lou Shi died in an ambush by the Black Flag Army. This does not mean that there is a problem with the army. At that time, the Yanshan Guards put down several small rebellions under the leadership of Xie Bao, and also fought with the people on the grassland.
A cunning enemy fought with each other - the opponent fled - and all the battles were invincible. The Jurchens are still invincible.
Veterans of the Yanshan Guard who experienced the Northwest Battle would occasionally talk about the enemies they encountered in that battle. In rare cases, some soldiers believed that Black Flag was powerful. Pu Sanhun sneered at such a statement. The enemy
Strong, so what? Even if it is an evenly matched opponent, just defeat it head-on! Is the rise of Daikin just because the enemy is too weak?
After suffering a defeat, he would fight another battle, and if he had a blood debt, he would seek revenge from the enemy. The Jurchens had grasped their own destiny amidst the light and shadow of swords. Over the years, Pu Sanhun has always felt such power.
With the beginning of the fourth southern expedition, for Pu Sanhun, it was more like a large-scale sightseeing tour. The West Route Army went south all the way, stopping in Jin and Xiangyang. During the war
I have encountered several opponents, but for an elite like Yanshanwei, whether the enemy is tenacious or fragile, the final result is actually the same. Pu Sanhun enjoyed the feeling after winning each war. During this period, he killed
I passed some people, snatched some rare items and treasures, and used some women, but these were just side entertainments during the battle.
Even though the advance behind Jiange was slow, the Chinese army resisted fiercely and tenaciously, and Pu Sanhun, who followed the Yanshan Guard, always maintained a strong fighting spirit and determination to fight.
All this until Wangyuan Bridge.
When the 30,000-strong army came out of the mountains, he learned that the person facing him was Mr. Ning from the southwest. There were many opinions about this man. Even among the Jin army, they would often admit that this man was difficult to deal with.
The opponent, the emperor who killed the Han people, the madman who fought against the people of the world.
This man came towards 30,000 people with thousands of troops. Everyone in the army could only think that he had some conspiracy or trick, such as ambushes, mines, and the so-called burning cauldron. Of course, they were not given time to think.
Although there are many, no specific results can be obtained. Until now, the total number of Chinese troops in the war is only 50,000 or 60,000. Even if there are any ambushes or surprise troops, 30,000 Yanshan Guards are enough to fight them.
No one thought that it would be such a battle.
In less than an hour, thousands of black flag troops smashed the 30,000 Yanshan Guards, whose fighting will and determination were at their peak, to the ground.
Thousands of people died on the battlefield, and more than 20,000 were captured. At this moment, on the tidal flats by the river near Wangyuan Bridge, all you could see were dark figures huddled together, and small boats with lights on the river bed.
The patrol cruised by. As his arms trembled, what came to mind was what happened in the past few years when some soldiers in the Yanshan Guard raised the black flag to fight the Northwest War.
Black Flag is strong…
A fight would cost your life...
Ning Yi is very good at fighting in desperate situations...
Who could have imagined that in a few years, Black Flag would be so strong?
After the defeat the afternoon before yesterday, all the prisoners had not eaten. Even for veterans, half an hour of fighting during the war could drain a person's physical strength. Within a few hours after the defeat, the prisoners were driven away in chaos.
The reason for separation was that one was unable to accept the fact of defeat, and the other was that he was frightened by everything that happened on the battlefield, and even thought that he had encountered a witchcraft. On the first day of the new year, hunger gradually came back, and reason gradually disappeared.
return.
what's going on……
What will happen to the world...
What will happen to Daikin...
Some will also start to think: Black Flag has magic, when will the gods and shamans come over, and does the commander have a way to deal with it...
Or even... how to resist?
The Chinese army had confiscated all the weapons and equipment, and the prisoners were divided in the open space next to the river. The whole day on the first day of March, Pu Sanhun was looking at the small river not far away. The Yanshan guards were all from the north and knew how to swim.
There are not many, but after all, the river is not wide. If you can take the risk of entering the water, maybe you can escape to the other side? Or maybe you can escape the pursuit by going down the river?
Even on the other side of the river, it was still the territory under the jurisdiction of the Chinese army at this time. The cavalry was walking along the wilderness, and the escapees did not have much chance. But not much chance was better than no chance at all.
On the night of the defeat, everyone was so frightened that most of them didn't sleep. Throughout the day on the first day of the new year, thoughts were racing around in their minds, they were hungry and their spirits were always tense. What came to mind were the things they had snatched along the way.
The treasures he collected. During the Jin Army's consecutive battles, he didn't think these things were very precious, but when he thought about it, what came to his mind was that he might not be able to bring these good things back.
As well as the women and children at home, I don’t know if I will ever see them again.
These thoughts gradually turned into the last courage, and he wanted to do something. This went on until late at night, and he involuntarily took a nap. When he woke up, it was already early in the morning. His eyes looked towards the river bed.
Over there, I felt the trembling in my arms. This trembling came from hunger, cold, and fear.
He was about to take action when suddenly, a sharp sound sounded in the night!
In the early morning of the second day of March, while the fighting at Shiling and Xiukou became fierce, chaos also began near Wangyuan Bridge.
This was an unexpected turn of events, which turned into an unstoppable tragedy in the time that followed.
…
At two o'clock in the Chou hour, the long night was in full swing. The Jurchen scouts who were hiding in the mountains a few miles north of the Wangyuan Bridge saw the light rising in the dark night. In the direction of the Wangyuan Bridge, the explosion of fire looked particularly bright in the dark night.
The scouts rushed forward and used telescopes to confirm the chaos on the other side of the river from the best view: a massacre was breaking out in the field of vision. At the other end of the Wangyuan Bridge, the rioting prisoners tried to attack the Chinese army's position, and again
Or they ran into the river and tried to escape. The Chinese army first met them with a gun formation, and then organized a long gun-shield formation to block the oncoming Jurchen prisoners from the bloody line of massacre.
One by one, corpses floated up the river and piled up on the shore.
For the Jurchen scouts who have experienced many years of fighting and fighting, such a scene has been seen countless times, but this may be the first time it has happened to the Jurchens in many years.
How dare the Chinese army massacre Jurchen prisoners!
After killing King Baoshan in front of everyone, they dared to massacre the Yanshan Guard prisoners who had surrendered!
Humiliation and anger exploded in the scout's mind. After reconfirming the scene in front of him, he ran back towards Shiling. Soon, the top Jurchens who had not rested during the long night learned of this cruel and even inhumane incident.
news.
Wanyan Sheye, who failed to attack Wangyuan Bridge, ran into the camp wearing armor half covered with blood. His eyes were blood red and his teeth were cracked: "You bully people too much. Ning bullies people too much. I will kill his whole family."
Execute the nine tribes! If not, I would be ashamed to face the Jurchen ancestors of all generations——"
Abuse and shouting were the main sounds in the Jurchen camp. Even Han Qixian, who had always been steady and calm, smashed his tea cup on the table. Someone shouted: "In this situation, we can only fight to the death with the Chinese army! No need.
Back off again!"
There were also people who asked themselves to be vanguards and died on the battlefield without defeating the Chinese army. Wanyan Zonghan, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, clenched his fists and punched the table while everyone was talking and shouting: "Is it useful?
?What are you shouting about! Ning Yi did this to force me to wait for a decisive battle with him at this time! You don’t know the importance, and you are in vain to be a general!!!"
In Zong Han's rage, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and then stopped. In fact, which of the Jin Army generals who could follow Zong Han to this moment is not a hero with outstanding strategic vision? But up to now, they can only say
He gave words of encouragement, but the decision to retreat could only be made by Zong Han himself.
The massacre after the defeat fell on themselves, which was indeed outrageous and uncomfortable, but in the past, they had killed more than 100,000,000,000 people. The northwest was turned into a white ground, and all ten rooms in the Central Plains were empty. This
These are all things they have done before, and it is obvious that Ning Yi is so cruel. On the one hand, it is obvious that the villain has gained his ambition after the victory and vents his cruelty. On the other hand, it is obvious that he wants to anger all the Jurchen troops and stay here to carry out the attack.
A big battle.
Behind everyone's fury were such speculations and calculations. However, in the Chinese Army's Shiling headquarters, a different scene appeared.
Ning Yi, who had only slept for less than an hour, was woken up from his sleep and reported what happened in the Wangyuan Bridge area. Ning Yi looked gloomy and slapped the table in the same way: "What did you do!" He grabbed the information and
Go outside.
It was expected that the Jurchens would make many violent reactions on this night, and various countermeasures had been arranged on the front line. It was not surprising that any kind of conflict would break out. But the negligence of Wangyuan Bridge was indeed unexpected.
In fact, this is also a problem caused by the insufficient number of Chinese troops. After the Battle of Wangyuan Bridge, the soldiers who could move to the front line have already moved to the front, and more troops have even begun to prepare for further attacks.
Those who stayed near Wangyuan Bridge to guard the prisoners, and by nightfall on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were only about three thousand Chinese soldiers left.
The three thousand fully armed Chinese soldiers did not have any psychological fear when facing the more than twenty thousand disarmed Yanshan Guards. However, under the high-intensity combat rhythm, it was actually very difficult to guard the prisoners.
It became meticulous in a short period of time. There was a large-scale mobilization of troops around the first day of the new year, and it was difficult to immediately transfer prisoners ten times as many as ourselves, not to mention that there were still many wounded soldiers who needed to be resettled.
After experiencing a whole day of hunger on the first day of March, the Jurchen captives' bellies were indeed empty, but their minds that had been stunned the day before finally began to come alive at this time.
In the early morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, some Jurchen soldiers chose to take a desperate risk, escaped from the simple prisoner camp, and tried to escape through the river. This escape was immediately discovered, and the soldiers in charge of patrol stabbed the escapees to death in the river with long spears, and
In the camp, there were hidden Jurchen generals who shouted loudly, trying to take advantage of the lack of Chinese troops at night and instigate a large-scale escape.
This was Yanshanwei's first defeat in several years. Although it was tragic, after a day, he was still able to regain some of his courage.
There were about 6,000 people in two divided prisoner camps participating in this gradually expanding escape. Due to the restrictions of the river terrain, there were not many directions they could choose. The muskets of about 500 people were responsible for facing them.
After three warnings at the entrance of each camp, the musketeers started shooting without hesitation. After two rounds of shooting, the soldiers put on their swords, shields, and spears, and formed a formation to advance forward.
As one of the most elite Jurchen troops, the Yanshan Guard soldiers are known for their ferocity. Even without weapons, they are deadly weapons and violent beasts to ordinary people with their bare hands. But in this regard, the soldiers of the Chinese Army
Not necessarily inferior in the slightest. Facing the long row of thin shield walls, the soldiers of Yanshan Guard risked their lives and tried to open a path with the ferocity they finally gathered. They then rushed forward like a roaring tide.
A firm rock.
The assembled shield wall withstood the huge impact, and the spear immediately thrust out, piercing the Jurchen soldiers in the front row into a pool of blood. Then the shield wall opened, and the sword light slashed, killing the first wave of Jurchen soldiers rushing in.
In front of my eyes. Then the shield turned back and formed a shield wall again to welcome the next wave of impact.
The flames of the Dijiang River were also emitted towards the other end of the camp near the river.
"Death to the fugitives -" the cold cry resounded through the night sky. At this moment, the guards of the Chinese Army did not actually show any mercy to these Jurchen prisoners who dared to resist.
Nearly two thousand people died in the chaos of this night. The resistance of the more than 20,000 Yanshan Guards was subsequently extinguished.
Ning Yi quietly listened to the process of suppressing the rebellion at Wangyuan Bridge in the headquarters. His face was gloomy: "The person responsible for guarding Wangyuan Bridge is Chen Wei from the Second Division, right?"
Pang Liu'an nodded: "Yes. His men withdrew from the front. I originally wanted him to take a rest..."
"Remove the post of brigade commander and explain the problem immediately. Why did it happen like this? Is it intentional negligence or unintentional negligence? I know that some of his family members died at the hands of Jurchens, and some of his comrades died at the hands of Jurchens.
Yes, but if this continues, he won’t have to lead the troops anymore!”
The atmosphere in the command center suddenly became solemn. Ning Yi knocked on the table: "Do you think this will please people? More than 20,000 people have put down their swords and guns. What's the big deal if they kill them all! But you are soldiers! The task given to you is to let
These monkeys are obedient and are not meant to be killed for revenge! Everyone has been tired these days. If it is an unintentional negligence, I will demote him. If it is intentional, he is not worthy of being a soldier! What a nonsense!"
Pang Liu'an nodded: "This matter needs to be withdrawn."
The tone of the whole matter was set. Lin Qiu, who was in charge of the negotiations, stood up and said: "The other side is probably aware of this matter now. After dawn, they may use it as an excuse. How should we deal with it?"
Everyone looked at Ning Yi, who waved his hand: "So what if you know? Pull out the rockets and shoot a few rounds at Zong Han to kill those bastards! In addition, how many people died tonight?
Bring me the heads tomorrow and give them to them. You tell Gao Qingyi that their people came secretly and instigated the prisoners to flee. If this happens again, there is no need to talk about it anymore! Fight immediately!"
…
In the Jurchen camp, Gao Qingyi said: "After dawn, I will question the Chinese army about this matter!"
…
The Chinese Army's technical team dragged the rockets forward and retaliated against the Jurchens for inciting the prisoners at Wangyuan Bridge to flee.
…
At the end of the night, at the Shiling position, Lin Qiu walked towards Gao Qingyi, scolded him before he could speak, and the furious exchange began.
*************
In early March, in the southwest, hidden in the peaceful atmosphere of the Shiling negotiations, a large-scale battle began in the mountains and forests. Hundreds of thousands of people fled on the mountain road between Jiange and Zizhou, chasing each other.
.Black smoke pillars and flames spread, and the blood and bones of countless people fertilize this already dense jungle.
This is the beginning of the reversal of the entire world.
A few days later, this news, which was like a lie, spread across the land of Jiangnan. Some people were shocked, some questioned, some were furious, some were confused, some were in tears, some were happy, some had mixed emotions, and some were at a loss...
