Snowflakes began to fall from the sky again. ※%
Inside and outside the valley of Xia Village, the large-scale fierce battle has come to an end. The place where the camp of the resentment army was originally located, flames and thick smoke are raging. The corpses and blood of people and war horses stretched out from the valley. On the edge of the valley, there were also small-scale resentful soldiers who were still resisting, or had been besieged and slaughtered, or were losing their helmets and armor, kneeling to surrender, floating. In the snowy valleys and ridges, cheers are heard from time to time.
There are also some people who are scavenging the property that cannot be taken away from the camp. The people who are responsible for arranging the wounded are coming out of the camp to give first aid to the soldiers who are injured on the battlefield. The voices were loud, and the cheers of victory were the majority. The horses galloped through the foothills, and when they stopped, the knights in black armor also took off their helmets.
There were flames everywhere, and in the middle of the valley, the bodies of Long An and others were put down, wrapped in banners, and the soldiers who passed by were saluting him.
The snow outside the valley was full of messy footprints. Tens of thousands of people ran away and smashed the entire snow field. The scouts of Xia Village were also chasing after them from different directions towards the distant heaven and earth. Qin Shaoqian stood above the snowy ridge, holding a blood-stained sword in his hand, looking at the scenery in the distance. At this time, there were cheers from the surroundings, but the burning heat in his brain did not fade away. For everything he saw, he accepted part of it, and the other part could not be fully digested.
"Send all the scouts out... stay vigilant, lest Pharmacist Guo come back... kill us with a carbine... go, go, go! Stay vigilant..."
The grudge army was defeated.
As for the fact of today's counter-kill, since everyone decided to open the camp gate, and the morale of the mountains and fields began to boil, as an excellent general, he already knew it and was sure of it. However, when the situation was initially settled, I recalled the tyranny of the Jurchen all the way to the south. He led the Wu Rui camp to try to stop the difficulty. For a few months, hundreds of thousands of people outside Bianliang City had suffered a losing streak. During the period of time in Xia Village, they fought bloody and broken... At this time, everything was reversed, but it made him feel In my heart, there is a little unreal feeling...
This has been torment. Until last night, they didn't see too many possibilities of breaking or ending. However, at this time... did you get over it all of a sudden
"…Where is Liheng?"
This matter turned in my mind, and then I recalled the decisiveness of this companion who was like a brother and a mentor. On the chaotic battlefield, this brother who is good at operations research cannot clearly grasp the changes in every moment of the war, and sometimes he cannot clearly understand the local advantages or disadvantages, so he never intervenes in detailed decision-making. However, this morning, if it weren't for the decision he suddenly showed at that time. I am afraid that the only chance to win is fleeting.
Regarding the grasp and grasp of the overall morale, Ning Yi showed unparalleled accuracy in that moment. The depressing, tragic and even despair that had been going on for several days, plus the ** of everyone to give it a go before the pressure came, was compressed to the extreme at that moment. When those captives make unexpected decisions, for many generals, all they can do is wait and see and hesitate. Even if he was moved, he could only hope for the next battle of the soldiers in the camp. But he made an unexpected suggestion. Throw everything away.
In the ensuing battle, Guo Yaoshi showed his ability to operate and control the soldiers under his command. However, for the Xia Village side, the victory was still quite easy. When Liu Shunren's team was wiped out in front of Xia Village, Guo Yaoshi had already begun to mobilize his direct descendants to retreat, and the cannon fodder dragged on the battlefield started a melee with the Xia Village soldiers. Almost a one-sided massacre. However, Yaoshi Guo was still leading the evacuation of the 10,000-odd main force that could survive after this almost ruthless warrior broke his wrist.
It is difficult to speculate on the change in Guo Yaoshi's mood this morning, and it must be difficult to explain his thoughts when he resolutely retreated. It's not that the resentful army cannot fight, but the reality is as cold as this winter. Xia Village has the possibility of breaking the boat and never dying, but the resentful army has absolutely no chance of betting everyone in the first battle.
In his heart, he was still wary of the possibility that Guo Yaoshi would return to the horse and strike. When Qin Shaoqian looked back, heavy snow was falling on the battlefield filled with beacon smoke. After passing through the valley that had been fighting fiercely for days, traces of dead corpses and fire of war filled his eyes. However, at this time, the emotions that belonged to the victory, for the first time, were erupting in the crowds all over the mountains and plains. Accompanied by cheers and laughter, there are also faintly suppressed cries.
Qu Qing limped across the ridge, which was already at the forefront of the pursuit of Xia Village soldiers. Some people were hugging each other and laughing, with tears in their laughter. He saw Mao Yishan behind a big rock. He was covered in blood, and he was almost slumped in the snow. He laughed for a while. , wiped his tears again, and wanted to stand up, but as soon as he held on to the stone, he collapsed again, and sat in the snow with a "haha" laugh.
Qu Qing didn't help him, he walked over from behind. Someone bumped him, someone came over, hugged his shoulder and said something, he also smiled and punched him in the chest, and then he walked into the nearby woods.
In the woods, white snow and dark red blood are still spreading, and occasionally there are corpses. He walked to a place where no one was there, and the fatigue in his heart came up, and then he slowly fell to his knees on the ground. After a while, tears came out. He opened his mouth and cried in a low voice. This continued for a while, and finally he punched He slammed into the snow, and his head hit the tree trunk in front of him. He slammed the tree trunk with another punch, hit his head several times, and blood flowed out. Smashing, peeling, and finally blood dripping from his head, hands and mouth, he hugged the tree and cried with red eyes.
The man's cry was not pleasant, twisted like a lunatic.
He used to be a general in the Wuwei battalion, with a team of two to three hundred people. On the night of the sneak attack on Mutuogang, almost the entire army was wiped out. He left the brigade in a daze, desperately trying to survive, and came to Xia Village unintentionally. People talk about the myth that Jurchen is cruel and invincible, to excuse themselves and make people feel that failure is justifiable. He originally believed that, but these days, after all, there is something different, let him see .
Nothing is invincible, but his brothers. It's all dead after all...
He hugged the tree trunk, and the twisted and suppressed crying continued on and off for a long time...
At this moment, in addition to Qu Qing, many people were crying while laughing.
In the wounded barracks above the valley, someone closed their eyes. Listening to the voices outside, he murmured: "We won?" The thin woman who was taking care of him nodded, and replied in a suppressed voice, "Yeah." The wounded soldier whispered, "Ah, we won. ..." He finally stopped breathing, and there was already a patch of blood on the cushion under him.
Beside them, people were still treating the wounded one after another, or consolidating the corpses, and cheers came from below. Like a dream.
The entire mountain was immersed in an atmosphere that was as hearty as wine, but with a little bit of madness. Ning Yi walked up the hillside quickly, and saw the woman lying on the stretcher. It was Juan'er. She had blood on her body, a bandage on her head, and one eye was swollen.
The battle at the foot of the mountain was in chaos. A part of the resentful soldiers who were divided and massacred broke through the unguarded camp wall and rushed into the camp. At that time, Guo Yaoshi had already led his troops to retreat. They fought desperately. The wounded and disabled soldiers at the back were all behind, and those with strength rose up to fight. Juaner was among them, and was chased and rolled down the hillside, hitting her head. There were also several injuries.
"Is it not life-threatening?"
Ning Yi first grabbed the doctor who was treating Juan'er, while Hongti went over and started to examine her.
"Girl Juan'er is in good health, although this time..." The doctor shook his head and said a few words, seeing Ning Yi's expression. Hastily said, "There is no danger to life."
"Will it affect the body in the future?"
"Girl Juan'er's hand bone, I'm afraid it will hurt if the weather is wet and cold in the future... Apart from that..."
The doctor said a few words, and Juaner had already opened her eyes over there. One of her eyes was swollen, so she could only look at people with the other eye. Uncle... I'm fine, uncle, are you not hurt... "
Ning Yi walked over, held one of her hands, reached out and touched her cheek, not knowing what to say. Juan'er struggled and smiled: "Did we win?"
"Victory." Ning Yi said, "Don't worry about it, take care of your injuries. I heard that you were injured, and I'm very worried about you... Well, it's fine. You'll recover first, and I'll see you after I've dealt with things."
"Yeah." Juan'er nodded, Ning Yi waved to let her be carried away, the woman's hand was still holding Ning Yi's fingers, but after a while, she finally let go. Ning Yi turned around and asked Yuwen Feidu next to him: "How many people were arrested after entering the camp?" Before he could answer, he added, "Call someone to kill them all."
Yuwen Feidu nodded first, then hesitated: "Master, listen to them... Killing prisoners is ominous..."
"Heh." Ning Yi rubbed his forehead. After a while, he patted Yuwen Feidu on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, I'm not in the mood to think about the overall situation right now. All those who come in will die, and those outside will be kept. Go ahead."
"Yes."
After Yuwen Feidu took the order to leave, Ning Yi stood there for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief. Looking back, the scattered snowflakes were not dense. The atmosphere between the mountains and the mountains seemed warm and calm for the first time in the devastated world. Whether it was cheering or crying, the sense of tragic and torment that made people almost collapse finally began to dissipate temporarily.
Looking back, the ten-day battle, the tragic and torment, really makes one feel like a lifetime away. The possibility of forcing the resentful army back in front of him was once out of reach. Hongti came from behind and took his hand: "Miss Juaner is fine."
"Take up the bodies of General Long and all the other brothers first." Ning Yi said, but he said to the followers next to him, "Tell all the generals, don't let your guard down. Start paying homage to General Long in the afternoon, and get ready in the evening. Eat one meal, but wine... Each person is still a cup. Send someone to pass the news to the capital, and see how the battle is going there. Also, follow Guo Yaoshi..."
In the wind and snow, he waved his hand and began to issue one by one orders.
A few miles away from Xia Village, in the snowfield, the battle between the scouts is still going on. The corpses of war horses and warriors fell on the snow and in the forest. Occasional battles broke out, leaving one or two lives. The survivors left in different directions, and soon they were interspersed again.
Near noon, the retreating brigade of the resentful army slowed down.
Among the demoralized queues, Pharmacist Guo rode on his horse with a cold expression on his face. No joy or anger. Along the way, his capable generals have organized the formation again, and he paid more attention to the information brought by the scouts. Among the senior generals of the resentful army, Liu Shunren is dead, and Zhang Linghui may also be arrested or killed. The rest of the team in front of him are already his direct descendants. After careful calculation, there are only about 15,000 people.
Thirty-six thousand people attacked the valley, which was only half of their own side. It was something he never thought would happen.
At this moment, he stopped among the snowfields and stopped his horse. When you look around, the sky and the earth are all the same white scene, making it almost impossible to tell the direction. In the past, most of their army was composed of hungry people in Liaodong, but in order to survive, they later turned to the Wu Dynasty to rebuild, and their composition was also composed of refugees who lost their property and land in the six states of Yanyun, and they had no foundation. Also didn't know where to go. When several generals came to ask Guo Yaoshi's order, Guo Yaoshi's calm expression was on his face. No one could see what he was thinking.
Messages are still coming in. After a long time, on the snowfield, Pharmacist Guo pointed in one direction: "We have to... go there."
The expressions of the generals were stunned, but soon after, most of them stopped and sighed, this afternoon. This unit of the Resentful Army set off again, and finally, went deeper into the wind and snow...
This day was the tenth day of December in the thirteenth year of Jinghan. The battle of Jurchen's southern invasion had ushered in a turning point for the first time. For many troops around Bianliang at this time. The situation was astounding. Most of them received battle reports from Xia Village in a short period of time. And because of the fatigue after the war, this afternoon, Xia Village's army was more just licking its wounds and consolidating its combat strength. Soldiers who could still stand up participated in the heavy snow to pay homage to General Long Hui and many people who died in the ten days.
When the released scouts gradually returned, someone handed over a letter to Ning Yi.
When the scout was tracking Guo Yaoshi's team, he met an old man with superb martial arts skills. The other party asked him to take the letter back and hand it over. After several people in the green forest confirmed that the old man was the only surviving one around Zhou Tong Senior Fulu.
After the author opened the letter, he found a blood book inside.
After Ning Yi read it, he stood in the snow for a while, then threw the blood book into the fire and burned it.
This is just a small episode in the war. When what was written in the blood book was announced to the world, it was already many years later. In the evening, the scouts who returned from the capital received another urgent message.
The Jurchen stopped sieging the city this morning.
The reason is that the more than 20,000 Western Army troops led by the division of the army rushed to the city of Bianliang, and officially launched a confrontation with Wanyan Zongwang, trying to threaten Zongwang from the back. In the face of such a situation, Zongwang, who failed to siege the city, gave up Bianliang City directly and used elite cavalry to counterattack the Western Army on a large scale. This may be a venting of anger that has not been attacked for a long time. Bianliang City is not strong enough. Dare to go out of the city to rescue, and then outside the city, the two armies started a tragic battle. Although the seed divisions are veterans, they still take the lead and fight with all their strength, but after all, due to the disparity in strength, when the scouts left Bianliang City in the afternoon, more than 20,000 people in the Western Army had already been killed and defeated. You can control a part of the situation, but if you keep going, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out outside Bianliang City.
Hearing such news, Qin Shaoqian, Ning Yi and others were all stunned for a long time. The Western Army is indeed famous in the eyes of ordinary people. For many high-level military officials, it is also capable of fighting, but having combat power does not mean that it can compete with each other. The Jurchen fought head-on. In the past wars, although the Western Army led by the seed division had a certain amount of combat power, facing the Jurchen, they were still knowledgeable and knowledgeable. When they arrived, everyone hid by the side, and the seed masters also led the army to hide. When Guo Yaoshi went to him for a duel, he just made a roundabout way and was unwilling to fight with the opponent.
Unexpectedly, when Wanyan Zongwang had been attacking the city for nearly twenty days, the old man suddenly killed him.
This time, he did not choose to retreat.
According to the report of the scouts, in this battle, the corpses outside the city of Bianliang were scattered everywhere, not only the corpses of the western army men, but before the collapse of the western army, they faced the famous Jurchen elite cavalry. He has also achieved many victories under his leadership.
The old man's intention was obvious. The Jurchen siege failed for 20 days, and the combat power had begun to decline, and the number of people was severely reduced. The more than 20,000 people in the Western Army may not be able to defeat the opponent, but as long as they risk their lives and cause certain losses to the Jurchen, the Jurchen troops with huge losses may no longer be able to consider attacking the city. , and finally able to choose to force the other party...
While Ning Yi and others were shocked by the bravery and decisiveness of the seed divisions in Xia Village, in Bianliang City, extremely tired people were cheering and crying with joy for the arrival of the Western Army. Relatively speaking, Xia Village came later. The news has not yet been known to the public. When Su Wenfang came to the wounded barracks, he saw Shi Shi with messy hair, pale face and thin body, and told him about Xia Village.
Shishi stared at him blankly for a long time with wide eyes, and after a while, he grabbed the front of his shirt with both hands, lowered his body slightly, and cried violently and suppressed. The thin body trembled and made a "woo woo" sound, like a bean sprout that was about to fall down at any time, and tears fell like rain. Seeing this scene, Su Wenfang's eyes also turned red. He had been running around the city for several days, and he was also described as thin and his face was full of stubble. After a while, he left here and continued to run for the Xiangfu.
In the imperial city, the ministers have gathered here to gather the news from all parties, and they are all beaming. At this time, an old man named Qin Siyuan was talking about something unpleasant in the hall.
This thing is... in the rescue seed division. (Please search for floating astronomy, better and faster!
