Unknowingly, it was already the third watch. The moon and stars were sparse outside, and the lights in the military camp were bright. The shadowy shadows of the soldiers on the wall looked unreal in the moonlight. What needed to be said had been said, and Yun Zheng walked out of Di Qing's tent.
At that moment, I suddenly heard Di Qing whisper: "Walk more carefully!"
Yun Zheng nodded and walked away...
A long time ago, Yun Zheng believed that all courtiers in ancient times were loyal, except for treacherous ministers. This was the case whether watching plays, reading history, reading comics, or listening to storytelling.
When I was in the whirlpool of history, I found that this understanding was very shallow. Di Qing was not a traitor, absolutely not, he was a great hero who fought against foreign invasion.
So, according to the thinking at that time, since Di Qing was a loyal minister and a hero, then Han Qi, who was against Di Qing, must be a traitor? But from what I learned, Han Qi was not only not a traitor, but a very
A hero worthy of admiration.
He fought in Hengshan with the same disregard for his own safety. He also had a reputation as an official in Daming Mansion. His only problem was that he looked down on military commanders, or he was extremely wary of military commanders.
This is actually not his fault. The Jiedushi rebellion in the late Tang Dynasty led to the collapse of the powerful Tang Dynasty, and then began the darkest chapter in Chinese history. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, countless military generals staged riots on this land.
Countless farces, conspiracies, betrayals, fights, unkindness, shamelessness, and viciousness. This scene has just passed... It is inevitable that it will be overcorrected...
Yunzheng was not a pure Song Dynasty person, so he thought more about the future. Those civil servants did not know that a very miserable fate would befall this land in a few decades. Those civil servants would only habitually find it from history.
According to this, you are a teacher who never forgets the past and the future!
From the current point of view, the dynasty conflict in the Song Dynasty is just a fight between two good people. At least no one intends to completely destroy the Song Dynasty for their own selfish desires. This is why Yun Zheng still has a good impression of this dynasty.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Lu Qingqing's shadow suddenly popped into Yun Zheng's mind. The shadow on the moon looked like she was holding her daughter and looking at him.
As soon as his wife and children appeared, all the civil and military battles and the fate of Wu Shengjun were thrown out of his mind. He looked at the moon greedily. At this time, should his daughter learn to crawl?
It’s getting colder in Sichuan. At this time of year, Yun Zheng will make hot pot at home. Without chili, it’s not called hot pot. It’s just a big pot of stew. Thinking of Lu Qingqing’s meatballs, Yun Zheng
I couldn't help but want to laugh, so I started laughing. When my nose became sore, tears started to flow down...
Yun Zheng has basically never cried since he came to this world. Even when he endured the torture Gao Tansheng inflicted on him, he only sweated, not shed tears, and even had a smile on his face. Since having a child, Yun Zheng discovered
My heart seems to have softened a lot.
Monkey and Han Niu didn't understand why the general wanted to eat hot pot in the middle of the night, but there was also a black pottery pot in the army, so they quickly helped find it, and then went to the cook to find tofu and meat...
Finally, the hot pot was cooked, and smelling the fragrant hot pot, Yun Zheng lowered his head and went back to the military tent to sleep.
The monkey put a large piece of hot tofu into his mouth, and after eating it happily, he asked Han Niu: "What's wrong, sir? Why didn't you eat it when the pot was ready?"
The stupid man said angrily: "How did I know? If I knew, I would be the master."
While talking, Su Xun came out of nowhere, patted the back of the monkey's head to make him make a space, and took a pair of chopsticks to eat the vegetables as well. He had a nice purple gold wine flask, and drank while eating the vegetables.
, in a good mood.
Seeing the monkey and the stupid cow looking at him, he waved his hands in annoyance and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know. It's just sad for spring and autumn. It's a long night, how about we make a drinking order?"
Neither the monkey nor the stupid cow answered. They lowered their heads and ate fiercely. Su Xun laughed at himself, cursed "silly guy" and joined the eating team. He could feel Yun Zheng's frustration and loneliness, but this time
No one can help me with this, I have to do it alone.
At dawn, Wu Shengjun was ready to go to war. The general told everyone last night about the news of today's battle. This is also Wu Shengjun's rule. He never conceals the battle he should fight. Being prepared in advance makes everyone
The army has increased its vigilance, and if it can save one person from death, then one person will die less.
When they marched to the mouth of the canyon, the place was filled with stench. Although the Song army had burned the corpses in front of the formation as much as possible, the stench of the corpses seemed to have been integrated with the land and could not be eliminated.
Ma Jinhu and Yang Wenguang walked down from the front tiredly without saying a single extra word. The blood stains on their bodies were enough to illustrate the brutality of the battle from yesterday to today.
Yang Wenguang was still so arrogant and walked past Yun Zheng with his head held high. Ma Jinhu gently beat Yun Zheng on the chest with his bloody fist and walked away.
Liang Ji's black armor was also stained with blood, and there was a shocking gash on his left shoulder, which should have been cut with a broadsword. If Wu Shengjun's armor hadn't been stronger, his arm would have been cut off.
"General, be careful. Nong Zhigao has several warriors under him who are very skilled in martial arts. If his subordinates attack without gunpowder shells, they will almost not be able to come back."
"Go down and rest, leave this place to us." Yun Zheng patted Liang Ji on the shoulder and walked up the high slope. Deep in the canyon, Nong Zhigao's soldiers did not retreat, looking at Song from a distance.
The army changes its bugle and flag here.
Xiaolin took a deep breath of the stench here and said: "What should we do? Continue to fight with them? The news from Dali is not good. Chief Nong Xiacheng of Temo Village and Chief Huang Shouling of Jiedong have already made peace with Nong.
Zhigao formed an alliance. Now Nong Zhigao is even more powerful than Guirenpu. The documents obtained from Di Shuai further show that both Dali and Jiaozhi are supporting Nong Zhigao. One supplies food and fodder, and the other supplies armor.
It’s not easy to fight.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "We must enter Guangyuan Prefecture and Jiaozhi to gain anything. Who will pay us if we stay here? Staying here to fight a war of attrition with them is a good idea, but it will not do anything to us Wu Shengjun."
Benefits. Our destiny is to constantly attack, win, and plunder in order to survive. This kind of tug-of-war is actually the most cruel to us. Only by putting us in danger can we unite as one. Didn't you find out?
? The current army has slacked off a lot."
Xiaolin chuckled and said: "We are just pawns crossing the river and can only move forward bravely."
Before Xiao Lin finished speaking, he heard the sound of horns in the valley, and a large group of Liao soldiers rushed out of the valley with shouts and charged towards the Song army's position again.
Zhou Tong had already prepared the crossbow formation, and the range-finding arrows had already flown out one by one. The catapult commanded by Wu Jie had also roughly calibrated its attack range. Unlike other Song troops guarding the mouth of the canyon, they stood on the front line to guard against the temptation.
Peng Jiu, who made the surprise attack, only stood there with 500 people. They were sparse and looked very thin.
The army in Guangnan is not good, but the weapons they receive every year are the same as other armies. Most of them are stored in Guangzhou. When Di Qing went south, Yu Jing and others had already brought the weapons to the meeting point, so Yun Zheng did not need to help
They save on crossbows, which are abundant in Di Qing's camp, but it's strange that they have crossbows, but not many crossbows, and they don't know why.
Di Qing stood on the high slope behind, intending to watch how Wu Shengjun fought from the beginning. He was very interested in what Yun Zheng said about killing the enemy a hundred feet away.
When the crossbow arrows flew up from the military formation behind, Di Qing was no longer interested in watching the battle. If he didn't want to see the true power of Zhentian Lei, he would have left long ago. Wu Shengjun only fought with crossbow arrows.
Just shooting.
Liao people are not fools. Nong Zhigao has fought with Wu Shengjun, so how could he not think of a way to prevent such crossbow arrows? There is no shortage of bamboo in the south. This light and strong material is the best thing for making shields. It can almost be used with
Comparable to rattan.
When the crossbow arrows just started flying, those people naturally raised their shields. Everyone huddled together to cover themselves tightly with their shields, and they were still able to move forward slowly despite the rain of arrows.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Wu Jie smiled and ordered the fuses to be removed from the gunpowder jars. Hundreds of black jars smashed into pieces on the huge shield and the gunpowder inside spilled everywhere.
After a round of gunpowder was sown, hundreds of sparking gunpowder bombs flew out. At the same time as the gunpowder bombs exploded, a stream of black smoke rose into the sky from the shield. The black gunpowder powder was not absorbed by the shield.
The shield blocked it and landed on the hair, clothes, and feet of the officials.
They didn't understand why flames suddenly appeared on their clothes, hair, and feet. These flames came and went quickly. When the gunpowder bombs exploded the shields into pieces of bamboo, the flames also disappeared, leaving only sporadic flames.
Flames burned on the broken shields, and in the middle of the battlefield stood a group of ghost-like black people. All exposed skin had been scorched by the rapid and blazing gunpowder.
One of the soldiers touched his blackened hands in surprise, and immediately screamed and ran away. He only touched it lightly, and as a result, a large piece of skin was immediately missing from the back of his hands, revealing red and bright muscles.
This kind of pain is simply unbearable for humans, and human instinct prompts him to run away immediately.
One person's scream seemed to wake up the others, so everyone screamed and stumbled away.
Yun Zheng, who was already prepared, pointed to the front and said: "Let's march, it's our turn to counterattack. I still don't believe that Nong Zhigao would be so stupid to fight with us. If you look at the other side of the valley, you will know what they are doing."
