8th of July

July 13

The wind in late summer will bring all kinds of smells, the stench is unspeakable, the weather is so hot, and the dead will soon smell rancid. In addition to the stench of carrion, the unpleasant odor is also the body odor caused by people who haven't bathed for a long time, and the smell of urination.

Lin Zongwu sat on the stone platform to teach the scriptures, and sat below. There are countless believers with shabby clothes and pitiful eyes but fanatical, men and women, they are all pitiful people.

People occasionally cheered.

After Lin Zongwu finished speaking, he turned his head and went down. He went to the house in the rear. There was a slight fluctuation in his eyes. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, his eyes returned to calm.

Occasionally, he would think of what happened on the Junju battlefield, where people rushed to the Jurchen army, fanatical and fearless. Before long, however, the army collapsed, and the Jurchens came from every direction in sight, mountains of bones and rivers of blood. These believers also began to turn around and run away, like a headless fly, and he could not even command.

He didn't care about the dead. Lin Zongwu had already killed a mountain of people in his life. What he cares more about is that failure, and the only thing that makes people feel better is that this is not his failure alone.

The whole world is losing. Whether the army of the court, the rebel army, or the mountain bandits charging against the Jurchen, all of them were defeated and died during this whole summer. Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people died, homes were destroyed, the elderly and children were starved to death, and houses were burned to ashes. And those who have never been defeated have already announced their surrender to the Jurchens, those cowards.

The world is collapsing, and those believers are the most obvious manifestations. In the past, most of the people in this crowd still wore these decent clothes, and there are many big and rich families. Now, more and more people dare to wear those clothes. Fewer and fewer, the ravages of the Jurchen have led to an increase in refugees. It is said that famine and epidemics have appeared in the north of the Yellow River. Even if he is still in the unoccupied area on the south bank of the Yellow River, people have become more fearful and embarrassed. In Junzhou, he lost hundreds of thousands of people. After he came, many people gathered again.

Leader Lin, who has always been stable and vigorous, didn't know whether it was good or bad at this time. Heroes all yearn for troubled times, because troubled times can gather popularity, but looking at the appearance of those cultists, Lin Zongwu also felt that it might not be a good thing.

The enemy is so powerful.

He thought for a moment in this silence, and then he let out a breath: That's fine.

This seat will eventually find a way to save the world!

After a while, someone came towards this side. Lin Zongwu closed his eyes, the man was outside the door and reported the news in a low voice, Yingtiancheng was broken.

Hearing this news, he opened his eyes, and for a moment, the people outside the door heard the leader sigh like a prophecy.

"The demons are dancing, the world is going to die"

The world is falling apart, the ancient capital is in the sky, flames and blood have flooded the city, and the massacres and plundering that once took place in Bianliang City reappeared in this ancient city that briefly became the capital. The leaves of the trees were burned to the point of beeping, plaques were falling, people were screaming, screaming, and begging for mercy, women kept running, men were stabbed to death on the point of a gun, and children were thrown to the ground

There is resistance. From north to south, along the way, large and small resistances continue to appear. And then continue to be destroyed in the collision. Folk heroes have organized and set up a team to hunt down and kill the single golden soldiers. People who have lost their homes or are in danger of losing their homes want to eat their flesh and sleep on their skins. Yet this is the most intense hedge between the two countries.

After Yingtian, the two armies went south again, and the countless Jiangnan troops that came up were defeated.

Yangzhou, this graceful ancient city is also full of panic. The court moved here with Zhou Yong, but Jurchen's footsteps did not stop. at this time. Zhou Yong has kept his stance low and sent several letters to the Jurchen army begging for mercy. He has already seen it. This time, the Jurchen is determined to take him to the north. He may have no idea about becoming emperor. Some regret it but nothing works.

The former court of the Wu Dynasty gathered all the elites in the world, those adults who were high-spirited and directed the country, and those who were active outside the court. No one could turn the tide this time.

"I have prepared some people, and there are several teams" looking at the palace over there from a distance. Jun Wu, who was standing on the palace wall, said to his sister beside him, "If Jurchen calls, you can protect us."

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Pei's eyes were blank, and he asked casually, Jun Wu was stunned: "How about going to the northwest?"

Zhou Pei closed his eyes, unwilling to see his nonsense appearance. Jun Wu smiled: "Just kidding."

"Let's go south, go further south, and go further south. He has hundreds of thousands of people. How long can he catch up? In any case, if you save yourself, you will have a chance to survive. Master is in the northwest. That's what he's doing." He After a pause, "I'm afraid Wu Chao this time."

Jun Wu said here and did not continue. Zhou Pei closed her eyes and let the evening wind blow over her head. For the first time in a long time, this was the first time she didn't refute Jun Wu when he said the title "Master". before this. She had already learned in detail what happened to the noble ladies who were captured to the north in the Shame of Jingping.

He was raped and abused, and when he arrived in the north, he was reduced to slaves and prostitutes, and he was never freed. Next, if she encounters the fate of being captured, the only way out is probably to commit suicide.

When spring comes, I don't speak first, which worm dares to make a sound.

This time, get ready, the Jurchens who have come all the way will overwhelm the whole world head on!

In the northwest, in this place where there are not many people looking at it, the whole situation is not much better than the Central Plains that has been reduced to hell.

In May, taking advantage of the Jurchen Middle School and the East Route Army to attract the attention of the world, Wanyan Loushi led more than 10,000 gold soldiers to cross the Yellow River. Destroy Tonghua and defeat tens of thousands of troops at Tongguan.

In June, when Jingzhao Mansion was trapped, he encircled points to fight for aid. In Changlepo and other places, the tens of thousands of troops who supported Jingzhao were all defeated and annihilated, and then they calmly captured Jingzhao Mansion. He captured Fu Liang, the envoy of the classics, and then surrendered Fengxiang and Longzhou. The pressure has been really pushed to the northwest.

In July, in Yanzhou and other places, preparations for the war were being actively carried out. Not long ago, Chong Lie had rejected the Jurchen messenger's persuasion to surrender, northwest of Chong's family town. Now, although the ancestral tombs have been dug up, for the upright Chong Lie, surrendering gold is still not among his choices.

Since the acquisition of Yanzhou and other places, there is not much time for him to exhibit. Not long ago, he once repaired the Xiaocang River, hoping to join forces with the Huaxia Army, which claimed not to vote for foreign countries, but the other party frankly refused.

The Huaxia Army is a monarch-killing rebel force. Although the enemies are the same, their positions are still different. Everyone has no experience in cooperation. Who knows if you will suddenly turn against each other before you see the situation clearly, it is better not to join forces.

There are reasons for the other party's refusal, and it is impossible to imagine the kind. On July 23, in Yanzhou City, he was waiting for news from the south.

Not long ago, he sent 30,000 troops to support Fengxiang.

This war, which may have exploded in Fengxiang, may be the largest attack on the west side of the entire Wu Dynasty facing the Jurchen West Road Army, which is more than ten thousand. This was the result of discussions among all parties after hearing the news that Feng Xiang, who had fallen into Jurchen's hands, was about to betray. Among them, the Wuwei Army sent 150,000 troops, the Jinning Army 100,000, the West Army 30,000, and a few more Rebels would send their own troops, and the time was agreed to attack Fengxiang at the same time.

In the afternoon, the news came.

The moment he got the news and read it, Chong Lie felt dizzy in his seat. He put down the news, knowing that it was redundant, but still asked with difficulty: "Is the news true?"

The knight, who was still wounded in the dust, gave him the answer.

On the 21st of July, Wanyan Lou's house surrounded Fengxiang City to provide reinforcements, defeating Jinning's army of 100,000 troops, and recaptured Fengxiang City. On July 22, the main force of more than 10,000 Jurchens was divided into several routes. In the early morning, they defeated 30,000 Western troops in martial arts, and at noon they defeated 30,000 Rebels near the ground. In the evening, Wanyan Lou’s family led thousands of troops directly under his command to defeat the fifteenth. Wanwu mighty army in Weinan.

Wugong and Weinan are nearly two hundred miles apart.

Kind of go out the door.

At this time, all kinds of preparations for the battle in Yanzhou City should still be going on, but on the side of the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't see the work outside.

"Is this world over?"

Xiaocanghe, in the house where the sun slanted in, the light and dust danced in the air, and the group of officers who received the news fell silent.

"Your mother." Someone sighed softly, "What's the use of this person."

In August, the main force of Wanyan Loushi moved towards Yanzhou (.)

ps: The last three days of this month, who still has a monthly pass
