After all, Xigu Xunren was old. After working hard all night, he was exhausted at this time. His gray-haired head was slightly drooped. He continued to doze but was reluctant to fall asleep.
Wang Anshi sat cross-legged on a wolf-skin mattress, closed his eyes slightly and wandered around.
Both of them are waiting...
The soft light of the moon shining on the tent gradually disappeared, and an iron-heavy darkness dominated the entire sky.
The morning star looks particularly bright after the moon sets. He is like a loyal servant waiting for the sun to rise from the east with its radiance.
“Before and after daybreak, sometimes you will see a particularly bright morning star on the eastern horizon, people call it Chang Geng Star; and at dusk, sometimes you will see a very bright evening star in the afterglow in the west, people also call it Chang Geng Star.
In fact, they are all the same star. As the stars change, their positions just move. Just like people are born, old, sick and die, there is a sunrise and a sunset, but every day is a new beginning for Chang Geng Star.
And the lives of us people, once the sun sets, will return to eternity.
We are engaged in a life-and-death fight in this wasteland. To Chang Gengxing, it is like two teams of ants fighting for a fat worm.
Sometimes I really want to go into the mountains with my hair untied and stay away from the world. I just want to watch the sun rise and set, and the cycle of heaven, and no longer think about the rights and wrongs of the world.
This impulse has appeared three times, but every time I am reluctant to let go of something we have worked hard for our whole life.
Looking at the papers piled up on the desk, I couldn't put it down. This is the only thing we can leave in the world, and the rest are insignificant.
When one day we return to the galaxy, these documents will be our footprints, our lives, and our souls."
Wang Anshi let out a long sigh, picked up the boiling water on the stove, brewed a cup of strong tea and gave it to Xi Guxun, saying: "There is nothing to be afraid of in the way of heaven!
We are the primates of all things. Since we are the primates, we should have the final say in this world. In just a few decades, there is really no way to compare with the mountains, rocks and trees. However, in this short period of time, we have the final say.
For decades, he can live as brightly as the sun, that’s enough. As for what happens after his death, we don’t have to think about him. There will be talented descendants to take charge of the world again!”
Xigu Xunren lowered his head and looked at the tea he had just placed on the table. The tea rippled in the cup.
He looked at Wang Anshi who was sitting quietly and said: "The war of ants has begun."
"It will definitely be a magnificent battle!"
"Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about? I have invincible wise generals above me, and unparalleled warriors below me. For this war, Anshi is just a spectator!"
"After the war has gone far away, can Jiefu accompany me to visit Xijing City? If someone must enter Xijing City, I only hope it is you Wang Jiefu!"
"Whatever the winner does is his right!"
"Including burning, killing, destroying, raping and looting? They are already a group of very pitiful people. Don't let them suffer a second time of pain, if you consider yourself to be the master of the king."
"Yun Zheng once said that if there is no resistance, there will be no killing!"
The ground was shaking, and it was the loud noise made by countless horses' hooves trampling on the ground. The Xigu people looked up to the sky and laughed, their gray beards and hair tangled up, they pointed their halberds at Wang Anshi and said: "You are trampling on our land, you are killing our people."
People, you are robbing our wealth. Under such circumstances, are you not even allowed to resist?"
Wang Anshi shook his head expressionlessly and said: "You can't resist! If you resist, you will die. You can only choose one of the two."
Xigu Xunren finally calmed down, looked at Wang Anshi and said: "From a strategic point of view, I should incite the soldiers and their families in Xijing City to resist until you kill me as well. In that case, the hatred will continue.
You will never have peace, and I will also enter our Martyrs' Shrine in Daliao to enjoy the incense for eternity.
But in terms of human nature, I can only comfort those frightened women and children and prepare them to accept harm and humiliation so that their lives can be saved. However, after doing so, I will bear the infamy for eternity!"
The artillery finally fired. Even though Wang Anshi was two miles away from the artillery position, the terrifying roar still filled his ears.
"Jiefu, I beg you, don't hurt those innocent women and children!"
Xigu Xunren, who was as hard as a piece of iron just now, burst into tears, opened his arms and held Wang Anshi's arms, pleading like a child.
Wang Anshi gritted his teeth and said: "If there is no resistance, there will be no killing!"
"The king died of serious injuries yesterday. The unrestrained generals have decided to break out with the entire army. The only thing I can do is to prevent them from sending women and children to fill the horse path in front of the army!"
"What?"
When an army just rushes forward regardless of formation, casualties, or rules, there is basically no force on the plain that can stop more than 200,000 people from going crazy.
After they came out of Xijing City, they had to face the endless attacks of the Song army. Crossbows, trebuchets, muskets, artillery, gunpowder bombs, and even forks, as long as they could hurt the body, they would get good results after throwing them out.
Results.
Jiang Zhe was horrified to see Liao people pouring out of the city gate in a steady stream, and many people even hung down ropes directly from the city wall. The number of people was so large that even the dense Eight Ox Crossbows and crossbows, as well as the dense flying down of
No stone can make the number of people here smaller.
The crossbow gun took away one person's life, and immediately more people came out from the city gate. As soon as they came out of the city, the first thing they did was to run desperately towards the Song Army's first line of defense.
Seeing the Liao people's disregard for their own lives, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown. This was not in line with the Liao people's character.
After hundreds of years of integration, the difference between the Liao people and the Song people is no longer big. After having a surplus of food, enjoying life has become the first factor. It stands to reason that the Liao people are more likely to surrender than to charge out in despair.
It is feasible.
In later generations, Yun Zheng saw the migration process of wildebeest in Africa. An army composed of hundreds of thousands or millions of wildebeests did not pay attention to the terrifying existences such as lions, hyenas, leopards, crocodiles, etc. They were all focused on hunting.
All I want to do is charge forward.
However, what the wildebeest does is the instinct of the animal, and it is for the needs of survival and reproduction. Why did the Liao people do this? And judging from their performance today, the trend of fighting on their own is very clear. Could it be said that Xiao defeated the tiger?
Already lost control of the military?
"Yun Zheng massacred hundreds of thousands of Jiaozhi people in the Battle of Jiaozhi. Yunzheng killed all Zhang Zhi's men in the Battle of Qingtang. Zhang Zhi was also made into a wax man. Even though I was here
Everyone in the Wucheng Hall of the Great Song Dynasty had seen those terrifying wax figures.
As for our Daliao and Tangxian battles, the Yelu Flower Pagoda was made into wax figures after Yun Zheng peeled off the day lilies. As for the Yelu Flower Pagoda's subordinates, all of them were killed by Yun Zheng, forming two majestic Beijing buildings.
I have heard that Tang County is still a ghost in the world, and the Jingguan, which was forged with the heads of warriors from the Liao Dynasty, is now completely gone, and only the white bones remain there to declare to the world the majesty of the Song Dynasty.
There are constant rumors in Xijing City. Some people say that Yun Zheng is planning to build a larger temple in Xijing City to show his prowess. However, this temple requires 300,000 heads to build!
Since surrender is a dead end, it is better to fight to the death!
The old, weak, women and children are defenseless. Butcher Yun wants to use their heads to build the Jingguan, so let him go. Jiefu, I just want my head to be placed on top.
I really want to see if this murderous butcher can continue to be a prince for generations to come!"
After Xigu Xunren said these words, he sat there with a dead look on his face, but his eyes were full of pleading and he looked at Wang Anshi.
After Wang Anshi just listened to the words of the Xigu people, he resisted from jumping up from the wolf skin mattress and asked in an unbelievable tone: "This is why you would rather run into the wilderness to fend for yourself than surrender.
?”
"There is no disaster except death. This is my opinion. It's a pity that those generals don't think so. They would rather die on the battlefield than be humiliated and killed like cattle and sheep by Yun Zheng."
Wang Anshi trembled all over and raised his hands in the air and shouted: "Oh my god! Who else in this world dares to kill three hundred thousand soldiers? Since Bai Qi, no one else has been around. Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, would not dare to do this after he was resurrected."
It is reasonable for Yun Zheng to kill people on the battlefield. If he dared to deliberately slaughter 300,000 lives to show his bravery, do you think that all of us officials of the Song Dynasty are dead?
Not to mention 300,000 people, not even 300,000 pigs Yunzheng would dare to commit such a massacre!"
Wang Anshi yelled at the Xigu people for a while, and then ran away. Outside his military tent, countless soldiers were marching towards the east of Xijing City in a steady stream.
The war there is raging. Just listen to the explosion of gunpowder shells and you will know how fierce the war there is.
The fire lit half of the sky red, and black gunpowder smoke rose up like magic mist, and then quickly melted into the boundless night.
Wang Anshi had never ridden such a fast horse, which attracted countless passing soldiers to cheer loudly.
The Liao people had already filled the trenches with their corpses, pushed down the barbed wire fences and the antlers and twigs with their bodies, and now they were stepping on the triangular thorns all over the ground and roaring towards the second ice wall.
Every step forward by the Liao people was paved with corpses. The Song army's crossbows no longer fired, but began to fire intensively from both sides. Those Liao people who didn't even bother to use their shields were still selflessly attacking Bing.
The wall launched the most violent impact. (To be continued)
