Eleven years have passed since Jin destroyed Liao and Jurchen went south for the first time. In the autumn of Wu Jianshuo's ninth year, the Jin Kingdom's fourth expedition against Wu kicked off, with an army of 300,000 people heading south from the East Road to the Central Plains. Compared with the fierce resistance of the people when the Jurchen first went south, and the cruelty of the Jurchen slaughtering the city along the way, after nearly ten years of domination and slaughter by the puppet Qi and Jurchen, in July, the people of the Central Plains organized a rebellion north of the Yellow River. To resist the situation, all horses are in unison. It may also mean that the orthodox dominance of the Wu Dynasty in the Central Plains has dropped to a low point.
At the end of July, the organized and planned resistance that really belonged to the big forces finally started. Compared with the folk resistance that is more dependent on the people's consciousness and is like a river, the resistance behavior dominated by a clear will at this time is more like a deliberate assassination. , pull up momentum and advantage.
On the twenty-fourth day of the seventh lunar month, Wangshan's Moonlight Military Army took its name.
On the 26th, Li Xizhi's army of 170,000 people was already ready to go south. At the same time, the Jurchen general Wu Da led the 10,000-strong Jurchen army stationed in the Central Plains in parallel, and rushed to the bank of the Yellow River to prevent Wang Shanyue's hands. The Liangshan Shui Army raided the East Route Army and headed south to the ferry.
Twenty-eighth, 11,000 black flag troops suddenly gathered, broke through the city of Zengtou, and after a day's rest, they headed south to Daming Mansion.
On the fourth day of the eighth lunar month, a 170,000-strong army gathered in the Daming Mansion and prepared to attack the city. The 36,000-odd Guangwu Army in the city, together with the 3,000-odd rebels on the nearby hills who had come to increase their troops, were ready to wait. At this time, the Black Flag Army was already too high. Tang, rushed towards Li Xizhi.
A chain of resistance spread across the north bank of the Yellow River. The most intense one was the raid on the Jurchen grain and forage troops outside Zhending city. Inside the city, Qi Yan’s mansion was raided. Although many people in the city were illiterate, it was enough to shrink the entire atmosphere and situation to the most urgent level. The continuous outbreak of events is like a rapid drum of war, spreading the whole situation.
It wasn't just the Jurchen who went south to know the whole situation. Li Xizhi, who had been operating in this place for many years, might be the first person to collect every tip at this moment. The army's preparations for war were extremely urgent, and the siege of the Daming Mansion was ready to go, but the fierce charge of the black flag had to turn him back. Staff in the army continued to discuss, some nervous and some suspicious.
"Black Flag is going to fight with our army in one go!"
"It must be a plan of suspicious soldiers! Even if it is a black flag, it will not be so reckless!"
"General Wuda is still nearby. The black flag of Liangshan is only a side division, not the main force. Once it is dragged, it will only kill itself!"
"Suspicious Soldier!"
"...Don't forget Xiao Canghe!"
"Don't forget the striker of the fourth prince Zongbi!"
The quarrel among the staff was annoying. Li Xizhi could only put on a domineering and calm attitude. On the one hand, he slowly surrounded the city. 10,000 people set up a defense line at the Kalinhe Col on the way and were ready to fight. On the sixth day of the eighth lunar month, Feng Qize saw the approaching Black Flag troops at the Linhe Col pass. At this time, above the Linhe Col pass, iron cannons, bows and arrows, and various defenses were already in full force. Inside the pass was crowded with 43,000 people. , On the opposite side, in the black flag tens of thousands of people, the big knife Guan Sheng came out with the blue dragon Yanyue, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring.
"It's about to go to war! The younger generation, you still don't know!" Guan Sheng's shout came up the city wall, with a contemptuous arrogance.
"My city is formidable, four times as strong as yours! The rats are dazed and come to die, just to add to my merits!"
"I'm afraid you have never been to Xiaocanghe!"
"Haha, who ran away with his tail tucked in at the end!" Feng Qize was eloquent and did not show weakness. Chengxia Guan Sheng laughed and finally shook his sword: "Then go to hell! Monkeys!" After speaking, Back on horseback.
Feng Qize originally thought that the other party would say a few more words, but he was also able to convince the other party with his aura, but he didn't expect the other party to leave after saying so, so he had to calm down. Before the afternoon, he himself sat down on the city wall and ordered all the soldiers and military teams to stand by, never let up, and wait for the attack of the black flag. During these years of guarding against the black flag, the biggest impression of the people in the north on the black flag is the pervasive penetration ability of Xiaocanghe after the retreat. For these things, Li Xizhi’s army also cleaned up several times, and Feng Qize also strengthened the city wall. Supervision among soldiers. As for the strength of the Black Flag Army outside of the infiltration, it can only be solved with all the energy and head-on.
On the opposite front, the black flag's drums of war continued without stopping. This was a simple tactic of exhausting troops. Feng Qize was unmoved. In the afternoon, he reacted and said to the lieutenant, "I don't think the intention of the black flag is to pull the forests and the Ao, nor to attack Li Shuai's army. The demons are the leader, and they are full of cunning, so they won't force the fortress to attack the fortress, and they may have other purposes."
The lieutenant said: "General is wise, then how should I respond?"
"No need to deal with it." Feng Qize shook his head, "Now the Daming House is Li Shuai's responsibility, if the black flag bypasses Linhe Ao to rescue Daming, I will wait for 40,000 troops to attack, even the black flag will not dare to take such a risk. Their purpose is not in the Daming Mansion, so let them mess around for a few days, and once the main force of the Jurchen arrives, this little black flag cannot escape."
Although he said so, the defense of the city wall did not relax in the slightest until night fell. After the darkness came, fires were lit on both sides, and the drumbeat on the opposite side continued, and so on until the middle of the night, at two o'clock, the drumbeat stopped.
The firelight pushed forward, and a horse came out first, wearing armor, holding a dark red spear, and raised a hand in front of the formation.
Both sides of the confrontation were overwhelmed by suffocation, and the silence lasted for a moment.
"Brothers of the Black Flag, Jurchen is here!"
The voice sounded.
"Eleven years ago, when the Jurchen came south for the first time, Zhu Biao followed Mr. Ning and defeated the attack of the Jurchen directly under the city of Bianliang, and defended Bianliang! The Jurchen defeated the army of one million in Bianliang without attacking Break us!"
"In the past eleven years, from Bianliang to Xiaocanghe, to Liangshan and now. I have seen Jurchen defeat countless armies, and have seen them slaughter countless Han Chinese, kill our parents and invade our land! Many people knelt down. The person on the other side knelt down! We have never knelt down before!"
"This morning, the person above said loudly to us, hehe, they are four times as big as us, haha, there are strong cannons, hahahahahaha"
In the darkness, countless laughter sounded and spread.
"What is a group of kneeling people? Let the dead ghosts under Bianliang City tell them! Jurchen defeated one million people under Bianliang City, how many soldiers were used! Let the corpses of Xiaocang River be full of mountains and valleys to tell them, Without the intervention of the Jurchens, what is a million people! And the Jurchens did not defeat us. In the northwest, we killed their military god Wanyan Loushi, and in the city of Yanzhou, we personally cut down the undefeated Head!"
"This is the place where the adults fight, and the place where you live and die! I told them, but they didn't listen! Brothers, these bony heads accidentally blocked the front."
The air has tightened, and the silence has fallen. Zhu Biao turned his head and cast his eyes on the city wall, and then the drums roared.
"All have"
boom
"Stamp them to death!!!"
The shouting came like a tide. Above the city wall, Feng Qize stared at this scene with wide eyes.
"crazy… "
Then he turned around. hysteria.
"Guard the City"
The sound of cannons rang out in the dark night, and exploded continuously in the dark, arrows fell from top to bottom, countless firelights rose from bottom to top, cloud ladders were set up towards the city wall, and hook ropes flew under the launch of giant crossbows. . Feng Qize drew his long knife, shouted "Guard the city", and whispered as he walked: "Crazy. Mother's madman." But Feng Qize just glanced at him and walked forward with gritted teeth.
"Send that Lu Ming is optimistic about the key points of the defending city. If anyone changes, he will kill without mercy! The military team will cheer me up!"
"There must be deceit, there must be deceit, there must be a combination of inside and outside..."
"...Second brother, take someone to Lu Ming's place and protect him... Watch him!"
The situation of the siege became extremely intense at the first moment. Feng Qize inspected and predicted the places he missed. However, the real pressure is on the front line of defending the city. At this moment, the soldiers on the city feel the same fierce offensive as when the Jurchen attacked Bianliang. In the dark night, the forward of the Huaxia Army followed the sling Crazy up, the soldiers on the city wall experienced a half-day of anxiety, drum harassment, and the high pressure and paranoia of the military team. Before they had time to change the defense for the second time, the siege lasted less than a quarter of an hour. On the south side of the city defense, there were three soldiers. The vanguard of the Black Flag Army climbed to the city.
The vanguard who had experienced the bloody battle at Xiao Canghe held his shield and swung his sword towards the soldiers guarding the city. In the dark of night, the killing god who climbed the city was covered in flesh and blood. After a while, two more people came up from the cloud ladder behind. Feng Qize led the soldiers towards the rescue. Before they approached, the city wall in front was blocked by the soldiers, and the rockets were still rising under the city. Feng Qize shouted: "Push them up and kill them!"
Another shouted: "Don't retire! Those who retire will be killed without mercy"
The situation at this end was slightly resisted, and at the other end, Zhu Biao and Guan Sheng stepped onto the city wall. As the leaders of the black flag at this time, the city-burning spear's ascent to the city was particularly obvious. Countless arrows flew over, and Zhu Biao held the spear in one hand. Holding a large shield in one hand, he shoved violently towards the front, and Guan Sheng rushed out of the gap, waving his long knife, and the blood light filled the air. Soon, the pioneers in the rear also followed.
The boiling slaughter spread along the two ends of the broken city wall, and pressed towards the middle. Feng Qize was hysterical and kept wielding his sword to supervise the battle. However, the soldiers under the city wall were so killed that they couldn't come up again. With the occasional roar of cannons, after a few minutes, the city wall at Linhe Ao changed hands, and the fierce killing was still going on.
In the thirteenth year of Wu Jinghan, that is, eleven years ago, when the Jurchen went south, Li Xizhi's troops were unable to send troops. When they went south for the second time, they took refuge with the Jurchen. At least, both recruits and veterans under Feng Qize's command, although they have also experienced battles and even participated in the siege of Dulonggang, they have never faced an all-out attack by Jurchen or Black Flag elites.
On the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the Linhe Au checkpoint was missed, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled in the direction of Daming Mansion. This morning, Li Xizhi received this tingling news.
The madman of the black flag killed him desperately.
