In the early morning, the snowstorm gradually stopped. ※%
In the ruins of the original town, a bonfire is burning. The voice of a horse, the voice of a person, temporarily brought the breath back to this place.
Soldiers cook porridge in iron pots or washed helmets in front of the bonfire. Some people bake cold steamed buns or extravagant meat strips in the flames. Soldiers with minor injuries are still beside the fire. Chat with people. On one side of the camp, the rescued prisoners in ragged clothes curled up in twos and threes.
"Come on, blanket, take..."
Ning Yi walked among them, and together with others, handed them the few blankets that could keep warm. Most of these people who stayed in the Jurchen camp for several months were injured and suffered various kinds of abuse. In terms of image, they may be even more desolate and unbearable than the most miserable beggars in many film and television dramas of later generations. Occasionally there are a few cleaner ones, most of them are women, and they even have colorful clothes, but most of them are timid and dull. Treated, as can be imagined.
In fact, as long as they are women, they may have already been treated like this, but some of them have been treated like this for a little longer, and they have a miserable image, which is hopeless and can be left behind. Most of the Jurchens were a little lazy and didn't kill themselves.
Some of them saw Ning Yi handing things over, and they shrank back subconsciously—they (or they) might still remember Ning Yi’s behavior in the Jurchen camp not long ago, and regardless of their thoughts, they drove everyone to do it. fled, resulting in a large number of subsequent deaths.
In such chaos, when the Jurchen came, some of the prisoners who had been held for a long time had to kneel and surrender subconsciously. Ning Yi and others were hiding among them. They attacked those Jurchens, and then they were actually slaughtered. Naturally, these prisoners were released. Relatively speaking, they were more like shields of human flesh, covering over a hundred people who entered the camp to burn food. Jurchen assassination and attack. So much so that many people are cold-blooded towards Ning Yi and others. Still terrified.
But of course, aside from the fact that several seriously injured people are still dying in the cold weather, it is naturally a good thing to be able to escape. Even if he has lingering fears, he will not accuse Ning Yi at this time, and Ning Yi, of course, will not defend.
Soon after, someone started bringing gruel and baked buns, as there were not enough bowls. The only way to drink porridge is to use washed broken tiles and porcelain pieces.
With these things to warm the stomach, the ruins of the town will become more peaceful under the reflection of the bonfire.
There are also a small number of people who are still arranging to resist horses on the edge of the town at this time, and build a little fortification according to the terrain. Although a victory has just been won, a large number of high-quality scouts are also active around, constantly monitoring the movements of the Jurchen. But the possibility of the other party's surprise attack is still to be guarded against.
"... At that time. I fell off my horse, and I was really panicked, but even if those golden dogs rushed over, I had armor on my body. A stab, bang, didn't get in... Damn. I'll kill him, How dare he resist..."
In the snow field after the horse was rejected, a dozen people were digging a hole, and voices came over.
Most of the soldiers in the camp were in the same situation at this time. Talking about the battle, the voice would not shout, but at this time, there was a full and full of confidence in the top and bottom of the camp. Walking in the process, people couldn't help but feel at ease.
Ning Yi, Hongti, Qin Shaoqian and others also inquired about the arrangement of various things, and there were also many trivial matters, which were asked by others. At this time, the surrounding sky was still dark, and after the various arrangements were made, some people brought some wine over. Although it hadn't started to be released, the smell of the wine made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic. Ning Yi's voice sounded in front of the camp: "I have a few words to say."
The darkest sky before dawn was also the quietest and loneliest. The wind and snow had stopped. After Ning Yi's voice sounded, thousands of people quickly quieted down and consciously looked at the small group of gravel who walked up to the center of the ruins. figure.
There was a smile on Ning Yi's face.
"Are you excited? I'm also very excited. When I set off, I didn't know whether to die in today's battle, or can we really do something. In the end, we really did it. That army, known as the They are invincible and the strongest in the world. During the few months they were in Bianliang, they defeated a total of more than 300,000 of us. Today! Our first official attack will teach them a lesson! Defeat 10,000 of them! We slapped them hard, and no one can do it!" Ning Yi raised his hand with a smile, "I told myself in my heart that we are invincible. ."
The crowd laughed.
"So after quieting down a bit, I'm also very happy. The news has been passed to the village and to Bianliang, and they will definitely be happier. There will be hundreds of thousands of people happy for us. Someone asked me just now if I want to celebrate, indeed, I'm going I have wine, and it's all good wine, enough for you to drink. But these two barrels of wine are not for you to celebrate. "
Ning Yi's face became a little serious, his words were paused, and the soldiers below also sat up subconsciously. At present, most of these people come from Luliang and Dulonggang. Ning Yi's prestige is beyond doubt. When he speaks seriously, no one dares to ignore or ignore him.
"We are facing the invincible Jurchen. There are 50,000 people attacking Bianliang, and there are more than 30,000 people under Guo Yaoshi's command. They are also the strongest soldiers in the world, and they are looking for the Western military division to settle accounts. Today Mou Tuo More than 10,000 people in the army, if they didn't have to protect food and grass first, and fight regardless of the consequences, we would not have been able to retreat. Compared with the quality of other troops, you will think that this is very powerful and worth boasting about, but If that's the case, you're all going to die here—"
"Are you strong enough? Not enough! Is your record good enough? Not enough! It's just a little battle to warm up, it's nothing compared to what you're going to face next. We burned theirs today. Food, slapped them, tomorrow they will fight back even more fiercely, look at the sky around you, in places you can't see. Wounded wolves are waiting to rip you apart!"
Ning Yi spread his hands: "This piece in front of you is a stage where the strongest people in the world can stand. Life and death confrontation! Life and death! You can do anything! As long as you can still be a little stronger, then you will definitely Not as good as others, because your enemies are the same, the most ruthless and powerful people in the world! Their only purpose is to kill you no matter what method they use! With their hands and feet, With knives and spears, with their teeth, they will bite you to death!"
"What is strength? When you are seriously injured, as long as you have a little strength, you have to grit your teeth and continue to do things. If you can endure it, you will be a little stronger. When you win a battle, you can't think in your mind. If you have the slightest slack, you don't leave any weakness for your enemies. If there is no weakness at any time, you are a little bit stronger! When you are tired, your body supports you, and you can endure it better than them. When you are in pain, bite your teeth. More tolerant than them! You use all your potential, you are the most powerful person, because in this world, you have to know that what you can do is among your enemies. There must be someone who can do it arrive!"
"In the past... When people did things with me, they said that I was not easy to get along with, because I was too strict with myself, too harsh, and I didn't even demand them with the standards that I demanded of myself. But... When will this world be made up by the weak Standard! When. The weak dare to blame the strong righteously! I can understand the shortcomings of all people. They are greedy for pleasure, greedy for leisure and dislike labor. , to see the people we rescued today... our countrymen."
"I don't want to expose people's scars, but this is the future of the loser! There's no reason to say it! If you lose, your parents, wife and children will encounter such a thing, be treated like a dog, treated like a prostitute, your Children, will be thrown into the fire, you scold them, you cry, you say they are not human, they have no effect! There is no reason to say! The only thing you can do is to make yourself stronger and stronger! Don't say that there are 500,000 Jurchens, even if there are 1 million or 10 million, defeating them is the only way out! Otherwise, it will all end the same! When you forget that you will end up, watch them..."
"And they will say that I expose people's pain, I have no humanity, they are crying..." Ning Yi pointed in the direction of the more than 1,000 people who were rescued, but there were many people crying. " But here, I don't want to show my humanity, I just want to tell you what you are facing, yes! Many of you have been treated the most harshly! You are wronged, you want to cry, and you want someone to comfort you! I know it all, but I won't give you these things! I tell you, you were beaten, scolded, slashed, burned, raped! It will not end like this, we are defeated, you will experience it again, Jurchen still Will do the same thing to you all intensify! Does crying help? After we left, do you know what happened to the other people who survived? Shulei quickly took away all the others who didn't dare to resist, or who ran late. Burned alive!"
"Many of you are women and even have children. Some of you have broken hands and some have broken bones. You are still not healed. You are tired and hungry, and it is difficult to even stand up and walk. After encountering so many things, some people must feel like they want to die when I say this now. It's okay to die. But there is no way, it doesn't make sense. If you don't die, what is the only thing you can do? Pick up the knife, Zhang Open your mouth, chop with your knives, bite with your mouth, and eat those Jurchens for me! Here, even the words 'I tried my best' are taken back from me, it is meaningless! Because the future will only be Two! Either die! Or your enemies die—"
Ning Yi's voice stopped a little, and in the dark sky, the echoes oscillated.
"But I tell you, the Jurchens are not that powerful. You can already beat them today, and what you do is very simple, that is, beat them every time. Don't compare with the weak, don't say try your best, don't say how good you are. Enough, you will face hell next, here, any weak idea will not be accepted! Some people said today that we burned the Jurchen forage, the Jurchen siege will be more violent, but do they If it's more violent, won't we burn it!?"
"We burned their food, they attacked the city more desperately, and the city could only be defended. They had to defend it, and there was no reason to say it! There are a hundred hurdles in front of you. If you can't pass it, you will die! Victory is Such a harsh thing! But now that we've had our first victory, we've tried their quality, Jurchen, and they're not some invincible monsters. Since they're not monsters, we can train ourselves to be what they can't think of monster!"
"A lot of their food and grass have been burned. Maybe they are crying now." Ning Yi pointed casually and said a witty remark. In normal times, people would probably laugh, but at this time, everyone looked at him without laughing. , "Even if I don't cry, I'm frustrated by failure. It's human nature. Celebrating because of victory seems to be human nature. To tell you frankly, I have a lot of money. One day in the future, you can celebrate whatever you want, the best. Women, the best wine and meat. There are everything, but I believe. When you are eligible to enjoy these things, the death of the enemy is the best gift you get. As a saying goes, at that time, you can use Their skulls drink! Of course. I wouldn't let you do that, it's disgusting..."
"There is no celebration today." Ning Yi said, "Everyone only allows one cup of wine to keep you warm. Rest well. But your vigilance must not be relaxed for a moment! When you wake up, you will be better than Stronger now! You can only be stronger than you are now! Then, let your enemies tremble and let them die. And you live."
"... I'm done." Ning Yi said.
The camp was chilling and quiet. Some people stood up. Almost all the soldiers stood up. Their eyes were red with fire, and they didn't know if they were moved or incited.
"Yes—" The soldier with Lu Liangshan in front shouted, and the blue veins burst out on his forehead. The next moment, the same voice resounded like a tidal wave. The voice seemed to be answering Ning Yi's words, but it was more like a wave of anger held back in everyone's heart. With this small town as the center, it suddenly shook. Over the entire mountain plain and snowy ridge, it was a more dignified coercion than murderous aura. Above the trees, the snow was rustling down, and the unknown scout restrained his horse in the darkness, spinning in circles in confusion and trembling, not knowing what was going on there.
Ning Yi walked out of the crowd, and Zhu Biao, Tian Donghan, Chen Tuozi and others followed. This night, it may be difficult for everyone to calm down, but this tumult brought about not restlessness, but an indescribable power and strength. dignified. Ning Yi went to the small room that had been tidied up, and after a while, Hongti also came over. He hugged her and fell asleep on the blanket on the ground.
Except for the person in charge of patrolling and guarding, the others also fell asleep. In the east, the fish maw is about to turn white.
When they wake up, they will be stronger people.
In the capital, the first round of propaganda had been released at Qin Siyuan's instruction. Many insiders already knew about the battle in Mou Tuogang last night, and some were still confirming the news through their own channels.
In the hall of the Ministry of War, Qin Siyuan, who had been busy for another night, packed his things a little and was ready to rest. Next to him, Li Gang, who had hurried over to chat with him for a while, also had a tired expression on his face.
"After dawn, it will only be more difficult." Qin Siyuan cupped his hands, "Li Xiang, please take a rest."
"Yes, I mean, I have to... sleep for an hour or two. It's time to rest for a while before I can fight the golden dog."
The old man said, and laughed again. Since he got this news, he was overjoyed, and his pace was much faster than before. The rear of the Ministry of War had already prepared a room for them to take a break. The two of them went into the room, and there were servants to serve them. Qin Siyuan slept on the bed. Li Gang lit the candle, opened the window, and looked at the dark sky outside. He smiled again. Laughing, tears rolled down from her wrinkled eyes before she knew it.
Li Gang's temperament is violent and loyal, and when he walks above the phase, he has not known the taste of tears for many years. There are various opinions on his abilities, but the heart of a patriotic fist is extremely fiery. Over the past few years, he has carried out various things. Every time he is hindered, the court is in chaos, and the military affairs are corrupted. He wants to cheer up this matter, but how much can he do? This time the Jurchen attacked the city, the defense he organized was resolute, and he was even ready to die here. However, the Jurchen was strong and pressed down like a mountain. It was not a pity for him to die.
Only at this moment, he suddenly felt that he could finally see a little light and hope in the pressure of these days, a lot of life and death and blood.
He took a breath, walked back and forth in the room twice, then quickly went to bed and let himself fall asleep.
He has to rest quickly. If he can't rest well, how can he die generously...
In the Jurchen camp, the bonfire was burning, Zongwang put his hands on his back and looked at the huge city in front of him.
Liu Yanzong followed behind, also looking at the city.
When the war developed to such a situation, it was a surprise that someone had attacked the camp last night. However, for these Jurchen generals who had experienced hundreds of battles, it was not a big deal.
"... Yanzong... If I can't completely destroy this city, what face will I have to go back."
- In a sense, it just deepened Zongwang's determination to break the city.
Liu Yanzong's eyes were indifferent, and he had the same idea in his heart.
Before they came, they felt that Wu Chao would probably have some background, and they were still cautious. Later, the army of the Wu Dynasty was destroyed, and they felt that they were simply a litter of rabbits and had no fighting power. Now, it is scratched by a rabbit.
unlucky…
You have to kill more of these warriors! Thoroughly... kill them so much that they dare not resist!
The sound of crowing has already sounded, in the warm room of Fanlou, the courtyard behind.
Shishi was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and was sleeping. Under the quilt, there were white slender feet and ankles tied with red ribbons.
When she opened her eyes, she felt the strange agitation outside the room... (Please search Piao Astronomy, better and faster!
