In the second year of Jingping, June 17, northwest, cloudy.
Chen Pu of Yanzhou City is ancient, and the dignified and thick city walls look calm and solemn under the unbright sky. On the official roads around the city, Xixia soldiers are driving carts to and fro. In addition, there are no idle refugees on the road. All the "disorderly people" have been arrested at this time to harvest wheat, and the good people are not allowed to go out on official roads in various places. If anyone is found who goes out, they are either arrested or killed on the spot.
The wheat fields around the city have basically been harvested to 80%. In theory, these wheats are the most mature and full when they start harvesting in the next few days, but the Xixia people chose to start construction a few days earlier because they had just occupied this area. During the ten days from the seventh to the seventeenth day of the sixth lunar month, desolate or tragic things happened in this land from time to time. However, the loose resistance did not make much sense in the face of the established army. The materials used by Xixia people to kill chickens to warn monkeys.
In the past two days, the initial resistance has become numb. The corpses of the people who have been killed have fallen on the ridges and by the road. Under the scorching sun and the rain, they have gradually decayed, exposing the bones. , and the civilians who were driven to harvest wheat continued to work in such a stench.
Wheat fields, villages, roads, and water veins stretched out from Yanzhou City as the center, and when they were about thirty miles to the east, they had already entered the range of mountains and fields. Crushed Shizhuang is the furthest village here. The scope of the wheat fields has basically stopped here. In order to hold the mountain pass here, block the refugees and supervise the harvest of grain, the Xixia general Lacelle arranged here. A total of two teams with a total of more than 800 people can be regarded as a large-scale garrison.
In the morning, General Kui Hongzheng ordered a team of soldiers under his command to drive hundreds of civilians to carry out the final harvest in the nearby fields. The large tracts of wheat fields here have been harvested, and the remaining work is estimated to be only more than a day. However, seeing that the sky is getting gloomy, and I don’t know if it will rain, he ordered his soldiers to strengthen the supervision of the civilians who harvested the wheat. this way of strengthening. Naturally, it is more vigorous whipping and scolding.
Under this gloomy sky, one after another, the sound of whipping and scolding mixed with people's cries and screams, also objectively accelerated the efficiency of the work. For a time, there is indeed a feeling of enthusiasm. Kui Hong was quite satisfied with this.
The general in charge of the surrounding defense is called Mengshengke. He is a relatively strict military general. He is stationed here, and his daily inspections have never stopped. in the morning. He has routinely checked the nearby sentries. He has a total of 400 men, of which 200 are stationed at Zhuangzi, which passes by Guandaozheng Road, and the other two hundred troops patrol the nearby roads of about five miles every day.
Of course, since winning this side at the beginning of this year, until now in the past six months, the neighborhood has not suffered too much impact. The Wu Dynasty declined, the Zhong family army fell, and Xixia became friendly with the Jin Kingdom again. The rule over the northwest was the destiny. No one can. Even if there is still the threat of the Zhe family army, the Xixia people have already sent many scouts to monitor them. At this time, all the surrounding wheat fields have been harvested. The Zhe family army is just guarding the prefecture and is also busy collecting grain.
After this routine inspection, Mengshengke returned to Zhuangzi.
When the time came, the two centenarians who were the vanguards of the Xiaocanghe Black Banner Army appeared on the hillside outside the Crushed Stone Village.
The warning horn had just sounded, and when Kui Hong, who was near the wheat field, looked back, the murdered crowd had already rushed into the village like a torrent.
****************
The entire army of the Black Flag Army emerged from the Xiaocang River. They set off on the morning of June 16, and that night, the vanguard, which was lightly armed, approached the edge of the mountain. After a night's rest, the first team came to Shashizhuang in the early morning of the next day.
At the forefront is the first battalion of the second regiment of the Xiaocanghe Army at this time. There are three companies of more than 100 people. The first company leader is Luo Ye, who formed the Huayan Society. He has high requirements for himself and also for the soldiers below. This time, it is a matter of course that the application rushed to the forefront.
Mao Yishan and Hou Wu were both in the second company. Qu Qing had experience in commanding the army and had a flexible mind. He could have been in charge of leading the second company and even competed with Xu Lingming for the position of battalion commander, but due to certain considerations , he was later absorbed into the special regiment, and was also trained as a staff officer. On this expedition, he had not recovered from his injuries because he went out to inquire about news, but he also forced him to come out, and now he follows Erlian to act together.
After the two hundred people got up, under the guidance of Qu Qing, they walked briskly for more than an hour. When they reached the vicinity of the Crushed Stone Village, they slowed down and moved forward in hiding.
There are no recruits in the team. They used to be paid and fed, fought against the Jurchen, felt the humiliation of failure and the threat of death, were gathered in Xia Village, experienced the quenching of life and death, and regretted the army. Later, following Ning Yi's revolt, there were several battles on the way. However, when they came out of the mountain this time, almost everyone had different feelings, whether it was incitement or brainwashing. For more than half a year, the feeling of depression that has gone from nothing to gradually increasing has made them want to do something for a long time.
A few days ago, everyone in the mountains stopped working and started training the whole army, and everyone was guessing in their hearts. By the time they left for the expedition yesterday, after Qin Shaoqian and Ning Yi's oath speeches, the people whose guesses had been confirmed were so excited that they almost shuddered. Afterwards, the whole army set out on the expedition, and the flames burning in people's hearts never stopped.
Yes, there is no other way, this is the only way out.
If it is said that in the previous battle, everyone was still passively fighting, facing the orders given instinctively, facing the guns, only this time, most people in the entire army have already agreed with this attack, and even I long for a fight in my heart. At the same time, they have known and recognized their partners for more than half a year due to high-efficiency cooperation and high-intensity labor. Everyone just needs to try their best to do their part, the rest, and others. Your partner, will naturally do well!
During the early morning rush, the humming sound in the blood was so clear that it seemed to be heard. Luo Ye, Mao Yishan, Hou Wu and others occasionally stroked the handle of the knife with their hands, thinking about pulling it out. A slight sense of tension and contraction enveloped everything. On the road close to Crushed Stone Village, Qu Qing, Xu Lingming, Luo Ye and others had already negotiated a plan.
"I have a plan." Qu Qing held a simple map while walking briskly, and had already introduced the two entrances and exits of the Crushed Stone Village, as well as the location of the watchtower next to the entrance and exit, "We rush in from both sides and use the fastest speed. speed, kill them all. Don't stop, don't give any warning. Well, that's it."
He slashed left and right with a knife on the map, indicating the route. There was only the rustling of footsteps all around. Xu Lingming turned his head to look at him and blinked, but Qu Qing's eyes were serious, as if he was telling a cold joke. I have a plan to rush in and kill them all. What kind of plan is this? Luo Ye on the other side has already nodded his head seriously: "Okay. That's it, I'm in charge of the left."
The two teams separated and approached the Crushed Stone Village. The scouts in camouflage clothes walked past to kill the soldiers on the watchtower. At the same time as the first arrow was fired, Luo Ye waved his arm and rushed out of the foothills. On the other side, Mao Yishan and Hou Wu drew their swords and shields, and stepped out of the mountain, their footsteps gradually accelerating and getting faster and faster.
Shields, steel knives, and figures rushed down. Outside the village of Crushed Stone Village, there is a team of Xixia people patrolling at this time, which is a team of seven people. As the arrows flew over their heads and shot at the chests of the soldiers on the watchtower, when they came back to their senses, Luo Ye and others were charging straight with swords and shields. These people turned around and wanted to run, warning in their mouths, Luo Ye and others had quickly drawn closer, and the Xixia soldiers turned around and waved their swords. With the shield in Luo Ye's hand, he slammed him and flew out, before he rolled to the ground, and the black shadow came over. Just a knife.
Luo Ye stepped over the corpse on the ground without the slightest pause in his footsteps. He was still running fast with his shield in hand. The seven Xixia soldiers were like animals involved in the cannibal ant colony, and they were spread over in a blink of an eye. The front of the soldiers extended, and some people retracted their knives and changed their hands. After firing, draw the knife again. In the crushed stone village, the warning horn sounded, two torrents had penetrated into the village, and the viscous blood began to spread wantonly. Xixia soldiers lined up and rushed over on the road of the village, collided with the soldiers of Xiaocanghe who rushed in, and were then slashed open by steel knives and spears. Next to the window of the house, there were also soldiers from Xiaocanghe rushing to kill. Go in, and after fighting with the Xixia soldiers who were in a hurry, they rushed out from the other side.
Luo Ye rushed in front, he cast aside the shield in his hand, held the steel knife in both hands, slashed all the way, and led the soldiers around him with red eyes to the courtyard with the Jurchen flag erected. The young officer was calm and thoughtful on weekdays. When he arrived at the battle, he had already exuded all the hostility in his body. Several Xixia soldiers were chased from the front and stabbed at everyone with guns. Luo Ye faced the four shots. The long spear stepped directly in, and without hesitation, he swung a knife, and the Xixia warrior who looked in his thirties with a fierce appearance almost split his hands and chest into two pieces and flew out.
"Don't get in my way"
Before the roar was over, the Xixia soldiers had already been drowned by the people around him.
"Whose head is the Xixia dog thief?"
As he walked, he pointed to the Xixia military flag not far away. A group of people around had the same frenzy.
"mine!!!"
Mengshengke was still withdrawing from the yard at this time, surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers, and more of his subordinates rushed forward from the rear, but the sound of the fighting was like a giant beast, swallowing human lives and spreading all the way. , he only saw a black flag flashing not far away.
"Who? Who? Hurry up! Stop them! Did Zhejia call?"
Then he saw the young general of the two-eyed scout who came over the road. He shot an arrow with a crossbow, and then led the soldiers beside him to hide behind the house.
Seeing that the guards around Mengshengke were already lined up, Luo Ye took the brothers around him and started to kill to the side, while instructing: "Call more people over!"
Seeing this group of people walking around like chopping melons and vegetables, Mengshengke here, and the team under his subordinates rushed to them and were killed, and he was a little worried. This battle came too fast, he hadn't figured out the origin of the opponent yet, but as a general of the Xixia Army, he could see the opponent's combat power. The eyes of these people were fierce as tigers, and they were not ordinary soldiers at all. In the category, in the Zhe family army, it should also be the straight line elite that Zhe can ask for. If the Zhe family really kills him, his only choice is to escape to save his life.
While forming a battle to not give the opponent a chance, let the guards slowly retreat, so it only took a few dozen breaths. Suddenly someone rushed in the room on the other side, jumped high, and put the same in his hand. Things smashed into the crowd here. It was a porcelain jar with the opening on the jar. And the strips of cloth are burning.
With a bang, flames ignited on the bodies of the three guards!
On the other side of the road, more than a dozen people assembled, after the shield formation. The spear pierced, Mao Yishan bent slightly behind the shield, and let out a breath: "Huh... ah ah ah"
The battle was pushed at a crazy high speed!
Meng Sheng Ke was about to split, and waved his hand vigorously: "Kill"
Luo Ye was beheading a squad of Xixia soldiers to the ground, covered in blood. When he turned his head again, he saw that the team of more than 30 guards from Mengsheng Branch was rushed away. He opened his mouth silently: "I... rub"
Then there was a frantic cry: "Go!"
He took more than ten companions and rushed towards Mengshengke frantically! The dozens of guards here are usually not easy to match, but when one side rushed in desperately, and the other side was killing like a tiger, the entire formation collapsed in an instant, when Luo Ye shouted: "Don't block me" When he killed more than ten people rushing towards this side, it was obviously the guy from the general of Xixia, who had been stabbed into a sieve by more than ten people in the second company.
"Brother! Thank you!" Hou Wu, the platoon leader of the second company, wiped the blood on his face, shouted at Luo Ye, and then waved again: "Chong"
"No thanks!" Luo Ye, whose eyes were red, replied in a rough voice. Watching this group of people rush past, then look at the body of the Xixia general on the ground, spit, and then look at the surrounding companions: "What are you waiting for! Are there any living Xixia people!?"
The people who were half-blooded waved their knives and patted their armor. Luo Ye raised the knife and pointed to the outside: "I remember, there is another like this."
The red tide in his eyes was blazing, he nodded and said, "Think of a way to grab it back..."
…
In the large tracts of wheat fields that had already been harvested, people in rags stopped harvesting. Looking back at the direction of Shizhuang. On the other side, Kui Hong quickly assembled his soldiers, and before he had gathered the scattered people, the incoming enemy. The entire village has been slaughtered, and the fleeing soldiers ran out of the village, chased by the enemy, chopped down in the fields, and in the distant village, the flag of Xixia was burning in flames.
The team barely paused. The queue with blood and murderous aura ran frantically towards this side. It seemed that there were only a few dozen people in front, but in the village behind, more people were still chasing after them. With a frenzied expression, some Xixia escaped soldiers couldn't run in time, and were chopped to the ground like chickens.
The soldiers didn't dare to resist, the army was broken.
Kui Hong was startled, and ordered the soldiers in front to line up. Later, he saw more than ten horses galloping out of the village. These were all the horses used to pull food in the village. The speed of running is no different from that of a war horse. The man who ran at the front was almost blood red, and he stabbed the horse's butt with a steel knife. After a while, these more than ten horses had become the front line of the charge.
Mao Yishan and Hou Wu ran like flying, and when they saw the dozen or so people riding past them, they twitched the corners of their mouths slightly: "Mummy, these lunatics."
Luo Ye squeezed the horse's belly, stretched out his knife, and pointed at Kui Hong in the army formation over there: "It's there"
Far away, Kui Hong felt a chill in his heart.
On a cloudy day, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of civilians, the army that had suddenly killed opened the way with more than ten cavalry, forming a cone-shaped formation, and entered the Xixia army. Drive away, and in a short time, this Xixia army collapsed.
The team garrisoned in the distance has seen the beacon fire and rushed here. Before they arrived, more troops were holding the banner of the stars on the black background and had spread out from the mountain...
In the mountains southeast of Xiaocang River, there are also a large number of green forest people who are gathering. In the cave, Li Pin was speechless for a long time after listening to the report from the scout.
"It can't be... crazy..." he murmured.
Nine thousand people rushed out of the mountain and rushed towards the 200,000 army outside the mountain... He thought of Ning Yi's face, and a shuddering chill surged in his heart.
No one commits suicide like this, so something like this is thrilling.
At this time, to the east of Yanzhou City, the advancing team was launching a bloody road. Beacon fires, galloping horses, defeated soldiers, killings, and shrinking soldiers were all extending in the direction of Yanzhou City. Outside the city of Yanzhou, there were even many teams that did not receive the order to return to the city.
The black flag is extended, and the aggression is like fire! (~^~)
ps: Well, I wrote a wrong character in the last chapter. Pang Luan is one of several regiments, and Xu Lingming is the boss of Mao Yishan and the others, so the battalion commander is Xu Lingming. The previous text has been modified.
I couldn't update it yesterday. I apologize to everyone. This kind of plot requires too much emotion.
