Looking around, there is still snow in the field of vision, and the sun shines from above the thick clouds. In the evening, the weather was rarely sunny.
Linzhou's city wall is not high, but after a round of repairs in the second half of last year, it is still a solid city defense. On the northern city wall, black flags are fluttering in the cold wind. The soldiers of the Huaxia Army are up and down, carrying various defense equipment. Huyanzhuo is running on the city wall, occasionally helping the soldiers carrying the artillery to debug. , or commanding the battalion commander below to enter the responsibility section, with a stern face.
Huyanzhuo had served as a general during the Wu Dynasty, and now his position in the Huaxia Army is the head of the regiment. The people who went up and down Liangshan were originally arrogant, but facing the soldiers under his command now, Huyanzhuo didn't have much arrogance in his heart.
On the one hand, the military regulations of the Huaxia Army are strict, which is reflected in the training. After realizing the strong combat power that comes from it, Huyanzhuo, as a general, greatly appreciates these regulations. Second, more than half of the team under Zhu Biao's banner are veterans who have experienced the battles of the Northwest and Xiaocanghe. They have been sharpened into a sword in ten years. Although Huyanzhuo used to be an old-fashioned general, he has many soldiers in his heart. Respect for the experience.
Although these more than 10,000 people have been hiding in Liangshan Shuibo for several years, they are not as proficient in the development and training of artillery and other items as the Southwest Huaxia Army. However, in the successive battles with Jurchen, those who were able to face the army of the Jin Kingdom undefeated, and survived the battles of Xiaocanghe without dying, the entire north of the Yellow River, there are only ten thousand people, and there are no more.
At this time, just by preparing for the battle in an orderly manner on the city wall, you can see the morale and iron blood of every soldier.
Linzhou defender Xu Chunyi looked at the scene on the city wall, and his heart was also shocked. At this time, Guan Sheng had already come over and took him to the military meeting: "By the way, General Xu, Shulei is here. , you and I will fight side by side soon. Since we are friendly forces, we must get to know each other. Tonight, our Huaxia Army held a mobilization meeting, and there were some activities to complain and communicate before. , your brothers, it's best to come and participate..."
"Complaining and sympathizing..."
"Oh, just sit down and chat with each other after dinner. It's commonplace. Although it's only once, it's not necessarily familiar, but it's always good for the soldiers to get to know each other."
"Of course this is possible..."
"Okay, General Xu agreed, little things, Xiao Sun, you will arrange." Guan Sheng turned around and said to a deputy, then turned around: "The meeting with everyone later is the real big thing..."
"But... if the mobilization meeting is held together, I'm afraid the place is not big enough, and... "
"Oh, it doesn't matter, I said it, just get to know each other. During the mobilization meeting, it's okay to separate. I want to sum up with you first, Jurchen's intentions this time..."
…
Between the woods, the war horses spit white air, whistling in a staggered manner, the sound of weapons accompanied by the roar of the human body landing, shoveling high snow blocks flying around. Lu Junyi rushed out on the snow, the long spear in his hand was nailed to the ground, dragged the body away, and then pulled it out suddenly.
Red and white meet, and the hoof sound on the opposite side has quickly shortened the distance. The jurchen knight on the horse slashed down with a steel knife, and in front of the galloping horse, Lu Junyi's body swayed, and a large spear seemed to disappear silently Behind him, the next moment, the spear speared out from the other side of the body.
This is a style of returning to the carbine. The spear roared into the sky, the snow scars burst open, the neck of the war horse was shaved by the spear under the huge impact, and then the sharp spear stabbed the Jurchen knight's chest, soaring into the sky. out. The war horse fell down in the snow while running. The knight rolled on the snow. When he stood up, there was already a shocking scar on his chest. Lu Junyi had already pounced on it and pressed the equally tall Jurchen scout to the ground. In the snow, he waved his hand and cut his throat.
He killed two powerful Jurchen scouts in the blink of an eye, searched for a while, then went to retrieve his mount, walked through the snow-covered woods, and quickly headed towards the top of the mountain.
Lu Yuanwai, who used to be the No. 1 gun club in Hebei, is now forty-six years old. After joining the Huaxia Army, Lu Junyi's original idea was to serve as a general and lead soldiers to fight, but later, he and Yan Qing were arranged by Ning Yi as an instructor in the special operations team. When Li Shishi walked in the Central Plains, he and Yan Qing Yan Qing followed, secretly in charge of many secret tasks. When the war in the Central Plains arrived, he joined Zhu Biao to help and served as a scout. With the withdrawal of the Jurchen camp, Lu Junyi also rushed to the front line immediately.
After killing the two Jurchen scouts who happened to meet, Lu Junyi went to the top of the mountain. On the avenue at the other end of the mountain, the stretches of flags and queues appeared in the field of vision. Lu Junyi picked up the binoculars and carefully recorded the characteristics and possible flaws of each team...
More than 36,000 Jurchen brigade, nearly 40,000 followed the Han army, and a mighty 70,000 people all the way to the south, Lu Junyi followed all the way. During the period, there were occasional chases and fights. At night, he and his companions They meet and rest in the caves in the mountains. In the night sky, a Jurchen falcon flew over.
The game of life and death, the intersection of iron and blood, relatively speaking, many scenes from more than ten years ago are like child's play.
…
"... The team that Jurchen came over this time, the information sent back from the front is about 75,000 to be precise, and half of them are straight elites of Shuxue Speed. This team follows Agu to fight the world. Although there is a difference now, but It’s not much different. Their idea this time is to either crush us or surround us, no matter which one, we will not allow it…”
“…But at the same time, we can’t retreat. We retreat, and Wasion can’t hold it anymore. So, we have to fight, it’s better to hurt them, but we don’t need to be too eager to win. It’s not difficult to defend once. We are here. There are 10,000 Huaxia troops, and General Xu has more than 23,000 brothers. Before he came, Wang Juyun had mobilized the Ming King's army to come to help. The main force of the Ming King's army was nearly 30,000, and the recently expanded 20,000 people. Well, the number is up. In comparison, we still have the upper hand, haha, so what are you afraid of…”
In the warm room, the meeting of the coaches was going on all the time. Guan Sheng pulled Xu Chunyi to sit together, discussing various issues of division and cooperation between the two sides. The Huaxia Army's reputation is too big, Xu Chunyi didn't have much persistence in the military, but as the meeting progressed, he gradually heard voices from outside, and he was puzzled.
"Kill the Jurchen dog!"
"…killed the Jurchen dog!"
"We are human too!"
“… also people”
Occasional sounds like this sounded a bit ridiculous at first, but as the crowd increased, the sound made people a little scared when it came. Xu Chunyi occasionally asked Guan Sheng, "This is..."
"Oh, it's alright, everyone's heart-to-heart together, it still sounds very warm. Let's talk about the issue on the South Gate side, I have some ideas... "
On the school grounds of the military camp outside, the huge square was divided into areas one by one. The soldiers of the Huaxia Army were the first to gather, and then the soldiers of the defending army who had dinner also came to watch the fun. From time to time, people go up to the venue and talk about the stories that happened to me, the war in the northwest, the white land over there, those who participated in the three-year battle of Xiaocanghe, and the first time I killed a woman. The thoughts of the real people, there are also those who live in the Central Plains, and they talked about the tragic situation after the Jurchens were killed in succession.
Some people were talking and crying, first alone, then a group of people. The soldiers of the defending army were also called up. Although they were stammering, in such a world, everyone had the same hardships, especially those who were forced to serve as soldiers.
Wang Shanyue also learned this kind of heart-to-heart meeting, but it was originally initiated by the Huaxia Army. In these years, no one cares about people who are living a hard life, and everyone has become accustomed to many sufferings. Jingping's shame, even nobles such as emperors, concubines, ministers and family members suffered such hardships. In ordinary people, one or two Jurchens killed one or two people, and no one listened to their complaints. Such gatherings, for some people, stammered on the stage about the tragedy of their own family, some people listened, it was the first time in their lives when they realized that they also had personality and dignity.
Occasionally, when a Chinese soldier came to the stage and talked about how to kill Jurchen, there were hysterical shouts in the crowd, and some people even fainted in tears.
When Xu Chunyi and others finished the meeting and came out with Guan Sheng, the whole scene was almost boiling. Guan Sheng put his arms around Xu Chunyi's shoulders.
"General Xu, King Jin trusted you when he was alive, and now that he is gone, we also trust you. To avenge King Jin, bite off a piece of Jurchen's flesh and fight here. You and I will advance and retreat the same way. Retreat, it is really one, from today onwards, take more care!"
Xu Chunyi looked solemn, and then raised his hands and cupped them heavily.
The boiling night, I do not know when it gradually subsided, the long darkness passed, the next day dawned, the eastern sky released a gorgeous sunrise, the soldiers changed the guard, climbed the city wall, in the changing sky, waiting for the Jurchen army. arrival.
The sixth day of February, at noon. The Jurchen flag spread toward Linzhou City, and appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the handsome flag of the speed was fluttering. On the city wall of Linzhou, some Huaxia Army veterans clenched the steel knives in their hands or the bluestones on the wall, their eyes were fierce, and their teeth were clenched.
In the eyes of the nearby defenders, murderous intent rose to the sky. Over the years, facing a Jurchen general like Shu Lisu, they have never seen such a tragic army that seems to be rushing out of the city to fight instead of defending it.
These people don't know. In June of the fifth year of Jianshuo, Shulie led the army to participate in the siege of the Xiaocang River. After six months of defending, the Xiaocang River burst the dam at the mouth of the valley, and the troops of Qingmu Village and Xiaocang River broke through. Although Ning Yi led an army of 20,000 people into Yanzhou not long afterward, beheading Ci without losing the city, but in the eyes of many Chinese soldiers, Shu Liesu was also a great enemy with blood on his hands. .
At the start of the year in the snow at the beginning of the year, they both resisted the urge to pounce on each other. To outsiders, it seemed like a generous and heroic chat and laugh. choices made. And at this time, no one has to retreat.
The clouds in the sky changed shape and rolled over quickly.
In Linzhou, the drums of war roared. 19
