Jin Wushu turned to Lu Den's corpse again and saw that he was still standing with an angry look as before. He turned to him and bowed a few more times: "Mr. Lu, a certain family will never cut off your descendants. I will treat your young master as my own son and send him to In this country, I will be raised by this wet nurse. When I grow up, I will bear your surname and receive your incense. How about it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Deng fell to the ground.
Jin Wushu felt pity in his heart and held the little baby in his arms. The baby was crying endlessly, but when he teased it, it started giggling. He was overjoyed and turned to the frightened nanny: "Has the little master got a name?"
"Back to the king, the young master's name is Lu Wenlong."
"Lu Wenlong? What a good name. Boy, from now on you will be called Lu Wenlong. When you grow up, you will be like your father and become a hero."
He handed the child over to the wet nurse and made a plan in his mind. The next stop was to attack the city of Berlin. The general who defended the city of Berlin was Yue Pengju. He was one of the two people from the Song Dynasty that he had to eradicate.
Thinking of Yue Pengju, I couldn't help but think of Hua Rong again, and then looking at Mrs. Lu who had been buried, I felt even more melancholy. If you marry a wife like this, what do you want in life
Suddenly I thought about that enemy woman, after she escaped from the Jin camp by chance, where would she find her way out? Are you still living in this world
I regretted it very much. I shouldn't have let her go in the first place. However, with my status, how could there be any reason to marry a Song girl? He was slightly absent-minded. When he turned his head and looked again, Mrs. Lu's coffin had been carried out.
A few days later, Jin Wushu led his army to invade the city of Berlin, and news of the death of Mr. Lu and his wife also came.
Hua Rong only regretted that he had not made the right move in the first place. If he had killed Jin Wushu, why would he have been in such trouble? However, I suddenly thought of his kindness and the kindness and tolerance he treated me in Jinying, and I couldn't help but ask myself: If we meet on the battlefield one day, will it really be true that either he will kill me or I will kill him
Yue Pengju had met Mr. Lu once and was deeply impressed by him. Seeing him commit suicide and die for his country, he was very sad. But the current plan is to resist Jin Wushu's attack. He has fought against Jin Wushu several times, but the scale is very small. It was so small that it was really difficult to judge the outcome. Hearing that Jin Wushu buried Master Lu and his wife lavishly, he secretly thought that this man was so powerful. He also remembered that his sister fell into his hands. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to murder her, this man pretended to be drunk and let her go. His conduct is very gentlemanly.
Because of this, it is even more difficult to deal with.
However, Yue Pengju was vaguely excited, as if meeting an opponent in chess meant meeting a good talent. Sometimes, enemies are more worthy of respect than friends.
He immediately convened a military meeting, and Hua Rong was present throughout the process, adding some opinions from time to time. Finally, he decided to lead his troops to Lidu on the edge of the Yellow River to fight against the Jin army.
On the eve of the battle, Hua Rong came to the stables and washed "Kinsese" over and over again.
Yue Pengju came to her, picked up a bucket of water, and mixed a potion to remove paint. He took the brush and helped her brush it twice. After brushing it twice, he could faintly see the "king shape" on the horse's forehead, and he praised: " Good horse, really good horse..."
"This horse is called Jinses. It is the most famous horse in the Kingdom of Jin. It is owned by Jin Wushu. I stole it when I escaped. I was afraid that others would recognize it and be followed, so I dyed it like this..." She smiled brightly. , "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to fight the Jin soldiers, so I would ride on this horse and frustrate their spirit..."
"good."
On the afternoon of the third day, Yue Pengju's troops formed a formation in the west of Lidukou Village to challenge the Jin army. He ordered his general Zhang Xian to command 1,500 people in front, and he unified a thousand people to carry baggage and other things behind.
According to the deployment of the Jin army, Jin Wushu's Guaizi Ma was on the right wing, and Zong Wang after the merger was on the left wing. This was another large-scale coordinated operation of the Jin army before returning to Beijing.
Zhang Xian followed the plan and selected a few sharp-tongued soldiers to yell and curse in front of the formation.
Zong Wang had been marching for many years and never took the Song army seriously. He stood on a watchtower on the stronghold to observe the enemy's situation. When he saw that the Song army, which had always been weak, actually took the initiative to challenge him, he sneered: "Unexpectedly, there were Nanman who came to die." He immediately died. Mrs. Aruden accepted the challenge and wanted to "kill all the southern barbarians without leaving a single piece of armor behind."
Aluden was the most valiant and skilled among Zongwang's four thousand captains. He immediately led eight hundred cavalry out of the stronghold and pounced on the Song army. Zhang Xian followed Yue Pengju's deployment and commanded the sergeants to push the chariot to the front of the formation. Each chariot is equipped with a wooden board in front of it, with one-foot-long iron blades densely covered on it. When the enemy cavalry is about 200 steps away from the front of the formation, 50 bed ballistas will first launch arrows and crossbows. The Jin army has about 20 cavalry. The heavy armor was pierced by thick and long crossbow arrows, and he fell to the ground and died. This naturally could not stop the enemy's cavalry from rushing. The Jin army was about 150 steps away from the front of the formation. The 300 divine arm archers in the Song army fired at the enemy within a hundred steps. , ordinary crossbows began to fire at the enemy, and thirty artillery carts also threw cannon stones at the enemy. The Jin army rushed to the front of the formation, but was blocked by chariots and could not break into the enemy's formation.
Zong Wang saw clearly from upstairs and was startled. He immediately told another commander, Gu Lie, to say: "You copy the left wing and Aruden copies the right wing. We will definitely win."
Using cavalry on the left and right wings to flank the enemy is the most commonly used tactic of the Jin Army. They have never been defeated when encountering the Song Army. Now, when the two led their troops to make a circuitous attack, the Song Army's original square formation immediately changed into the original formation. The Jin army's second charge failed again, with more than 300 casualties.
Zong Wang could no longer watch the battle upstairs, so he ordered the other two thousand captains to discuss. Gu Lie said: "I led the troops to bypass the Nanman army formation, only to know that there will be another formation after that, where their baggage is located. It is better to attack first and then form. Burn their baggage and then surround the front line."
Zong Wang nodded in agreement and immediately ordered the two men to insert themselves between the two formations of the Song Army to intercept reinforcements. He personally led an army to make a roundabout flank attack and attack the northwest of the Song Army's rear formation.
Although the rear formation of the Song army was personally commanded by Yue Pengju, the elites were already at Zhang Xian. Here, only grain carts and the like were used to set up the formation. Ordinary bows and crossbows were unable to withstand the impact of the Golden Cavalry. Under attack from three sides, although the infantry fought desperately to resist, But the situation is becoming increasingly critical.
When the battle was heating up, a Song army suddenly appeared behind Zong Wang's army, with two crimson flags and a big "hua" character on them with black silk thread. The leader was actually a female general with slender eyebrows and beautiful eyes. It looks like a silver plate, wearing a lotus crown on its head and wearing iron armor. Sitting down is the famous horse "Jinses", which is one of the most valuable horses in the world.
Some soldiers exclaimed: "Look, Kinses..."
"How come she has Kinses?"
Zong Wang could see clearly that this woman was Hua Rong, his fourth brother's "female slave". She was clearly riding Jinses, so why was she tracked down? Could it be that the fourth brother is deliberately conniving
The soldiers under his command suddenly saw such a beautiful woman coming out of the Song army. Their eyes widened. Before they could react, Hua Rong was the first to break into the battle formation, with his bow and arrow drawn. In an instant, several Jin soldiers The army fell.
"Jinses" is very famous in the Kingdom of Jin. Everyone in the Jin army knew that it was Jin Wushu's mount, but most people didn't know that she had stolen it. They immediately started making noises, "That's the fourth prince's horse..."
"How did the Fourth Prince's horse get into her hands?"
“…”
Hua Rong heard clearly and suddenly said loudly in Jurchen language: "Jinses is here. Your fourth prince has been killed by me a long time ago. Why don't you wait for the golden thief to surrender..."
Zong Wang knew that she was trying to disturb the morale of the army, and said angrily: "Witch, my fourth brother wanted you to serve me for a while, and I rewarded you with this horse because of my love for you. Not only do you not want to repay her, but you are talking nonsense here."
"Zong Wang, the dog thief, you once slashed me, and today I will take your life."
Although she was yelling and scolding, her voice was as clear as the chirping of an oriole, and her smile filled her eyebrows. Everyone was licking blood with their swords. Where have you seen such a woman on such an occasion? Seeing that she could actually speak Jurchen language, everyone was very surprised:
"Who is this woman?"
"Is she our Dajin girl?"
Seeing that everyone was confused by her, Zong Wang shouted: "Don't fall for the witch's trick, she is a Han, a genuine Han..."
Gu Lie was so lustful that he came to fight with a mace himself: "Witch, today I will capture you and make you my wife."
Before he could reach Hua Rong, Yue Pengju jumped out, separated his weapon with a knife, and slashed his neck with his right hand, breaking his cervical vertebrae and collarbone. The body fell down with his scalp still attached to his body.
Zong Wang rushed forward, and Hua Rong shot an arrow. He turned aside, but the arrow turned and stared at his shoulder as if it had eyes. He groaned, and the arrow had already pierced into his flesh.
This immediately turned the tide of the battle, and the front line troops led by Zhang Xian also used chariots as the forerunners to reinforce the rear line. Zong Wang could not resist and retreated one after another.
It was already dark, so Yue Pengju made a decisive decision and ordered not to withdraw his troops. He did not allow the Jin army to have a chance to breathe, and launched an attack on Li Dukou.
Zong Wang could not resist, so he had to lead his army to cross the river overnight. However, spring had already begun and the ice was already weak. Many Jin soldiers broke through the ice and drowned.
A fierce battle ended before dawn. The Jin army lost most of their troops, and the Song army also lost nearly a thousand people.
After collecting the spoils and returning in triumph, Yue Peng galloped forward and kept pace with Hua Rong, who was in the van. Seeing that she had put away the "flower" flag, he smiled and said, "Sister, why did you put away the flag?"
She smiled sweetly: "I hate the rampant Jin Wushu and Zong Wang. Today, De Pengju will give me a chance to let them know how powerful they are."
Yue Pengju has been fighting bloody battles for these years. He never dreamed that one day he would fight hand in hand with his sister, sharing life and death. He glanced at her and saw her face blooming, like the first jasmine that bloomed in early spring, and he felt so much for her in his heart. I couldn't help but add another layer.
But it is said that Zong Wang led the defeated army across the Yellow River border and finally joined Jin Wushu.
As soon as he entered Jin Wushu's camp, Jin Wushu came up to him. Seeing everyone in such a mess, he was surprised and asked: "Second brother, how was your trip?"
Zong Wang took the water handed by the guard and drank most of the bottle in one go. Then he wiped his mouth and pointed to the arrow wound on his shoulder: "Fourth brother, do you know who was injured?"
"Who?"
"It's your Hua Rong!"
Jin Wushu opened his mouth wide. After a while, he suddenly remembered that he should not be beaming with joy in front of his injured second brother, and hurriedly said: "Is it really her?"
How could the joyful look in his eyes escape Zong Wang's eyes? He said coldly: "Of course it's her. I will never admit my mistake. She followed Yue Peng in the army and rode Jinses to rampage. She was so powerful."
"Fourth brother, didn't you say you were leaving clues to capture Hua Rong? How could she have gone to Yue Pengju's army without any news?"
