In a panic, he kept running, and fear came from far away, but for some reason, in such a run, he wanted to close his eyes and avoid everything that was happening.
"...killed..."
“… walk around…”
In the noisy and chaotic environment, there were more and more voices and silhouettes around him. He buried his head forward and gradually ran to the edge of the big river. A bumpy wave lay ahead, fear behind him caught up, and he stood there, someone pushed him forward.
The small fishing boat sailed away from the shore, he stood on top, he heard the voice of people behind him, and there were turbulent waves under him.
Don't look back at what he told himself in his heart, but the person in the picture finally turned his head. In the pervading fog, the Jurchen killed him, and the crowd on the bank ran and cried, being chased and forced into the river, and then sank, blood pouring into the river.
Zhou Junwu knelt down on the boat.
Great shame filled everything.
He sat up from the dream.
…
There is still a faint scent of sandalwood in the dark tent, the space is warm, but there are traces of dampness and coldness. There was cold sweat on his forehead when he sat up.
Consciousness remained in the dream just now. After a while, he got off the bed and lit the oil lamp with a torch. The light reflected a well-defined face. This face was thin and firm, with a beard growing under his jaw Increases the age at first glance, making it more stable. After the lights were lit, the voices of servants came from outside the tent, and he asked people to bring hot water.
It was still bright, and outside the tent was a stretch of military camp. After washing his face, he adjusted his clothes in the mirror to make himself look more energetic. When he walked out of the tent, some soldiers saluted him, and he also responded with courtesy, which was something that had never happened before in the previous Wu Dynasty.
Wu Jianshuo was ten years old, and Prince Zhou Junwu was twenty-seven years old. For the people around him, he had grown into a stable and reliable adult.
To the officials of the Wu Dynasty, he was decisive and majestic, and to the technicians and the public, he was modest and courteous. He lived in the barracks and woke up earlier than ordinary soldiers every day. The soldiers who saluted him responded with the same etiquette. This was an unprecedented thing that he had learned from the Black Flag Army. If a literati persuaded or reprimanded him, he would humbly apologize and then go his own way. In any case, most of the military and civilians regard him as the future master of ZTE.
Intense and strict self-discipline made him thinner and more resolute. Especially in the spring of the tenth year of Jianshuo, the eyes of young people who used to be pampered also faintly have a decisive spirit of war.
The spring cold in February turned slightly, and the atmosphere of war had already spread. At this time, the ice and snow have not completely disappeared, and the accident in Jindi has sounded the first alarm after the beginning of the new year: the battlefield is a life-and-death Shura field, and no one will wait until the true spring blooms to start.
Passing through the tents in the barracks, and not far away, Jun Wu saw Yue Fei approaching, and after saluting, the other party handed over the waiting information.
"Linzhou, Shu Lexu fought against the Black Flag Army, it's a fight..."
"Jiang is still old and hot, Zong Han and Xi Yin's methods are really cruel." Jun Wu murmured when he found out the information. When Jin's anti-gold momentum was at its peak, he killed Jin Wang Tianshi, and ruthlessly broke up the only one in the Central Plains. A promising resistance force. As an enemy, facing Xi Yin's shot, anyone would feel chills down their spines.
"...In addition, Xuzhou has changed."
In Yue Fei's words, Jun Wu raised his head and looked to the north. In the darkness, there was the faint sound of icebergs disintegrating and the earth shaking...
****************
Wasion, Heavenly Pole Palace.
The massacre that Yuan Xiaoqiu was waiting for on the fourth day of the second lunar month never happened.
After the cold negotiation, the two parties went back to their respective houses. Yuan Xiaoqiu originally thought Lou Shuwan, the female prime minister who would look good to everyone, had cold eyes, but she didn't move too much.
After this day, the power struggle has spread out like an undercurrent of anxiety, centered on Wasion. On the night of the fourth day of the second lunar month, Lou Shuwan, An Xifu, Lin Zongwu, and representatives of various anti-gold forces allocated their respective areas and interests in the Tianji Palace. On the fifth day of the second lunar month, Lou Shuwan successively met with local snakes, including Lin Zongwu, to disclose the materials, weapons, troops, and generals information in all cities in Jin as much as possible.
When I met Lin Zongwu privately this morning, Lou Shuwan discussed with him the issue of the power ownership and division of the various rudders of the Great Bright Sect. In the form of dragging his legs to divide the power, Lou Shuwan also made more concessions.
At this time, small-scale battles and slaughter had begun to appear in Wasion City, but due to the restraint of all parties, there was no large-scale fighting at this time.
With the death of King Jin, the coercion of the Jurchen army, the defection of the power of various families has become a fact. However, due to the special situation on the site of King Jin, the coup d'état-style swordsmanship did not appear immediately.
Based on the disclosure at the negotiation meeting and the tacit understanding formed as a last resort, every household is now constantly attracting forces to stand in line. During this period, the military, armaments and storage materials in various places became the primary targets of all forces to win over and occupy. While Lou Shuwan was negotiating with everyone, Yu Yulin had already started to try his best to secure several important locations in the southwest of Jin.
As for the forces that still chose the anti-gold stance, Lou Shuwan chose to hand over the family, and even let the people who were still on her side help them to help them occupy the city, the pass, and separate the warehouses in important locations. . Even if the forces of large and small divisions and swaying are formed, it is better than those places that cannot be grasped immediately become the possessions of the Jurchens.
Politics, when it loses an absolute controller, naturally becomes a game of head-to-head.
At the negotiation meeting, what the old man named Liao Yiren said about giving up five or ten cities sounded absurd, but in fact, it was slowly emerging in this form. All parties to the match understand that in such a situation where you have me and I have you, if each party first controls the territory that they can control, and a few days later, it will be a fight or a drop, and there will still be a trace of vitality, but if it is right now. If he turned his face directly, Jindi would immediately be smashed into a sea of fire, and the Jurchen would be pushed southward on the ruins.
At that time, no one will have a way out.
In this fierce but depressing confrontation, everyone is still waiting for a fight in the north.
In Linzhou, on the eighth day of the second lunar month, the siege of the city has been launched.
…
The roar of "Bang" sounded on the city wall, and the stones and blood on the ground shook. On the morning of the eighth day of the second lunar month, on the second day of the Shulei Speed siege, the battle situation in Linzhou became intensified.
The Jurchen army arrived in Linzhou at noon on the sixth day of the second lunar month. On the seventh day of the second lunar month, the three-sided siege was completed, and the attack was launched on the same day. As far as a siege battle is concerned, such an unfolding seems extremely hasty, but Shuxuesu still chose such a direct attack.
In the three directions of Linzhou City's east, west, and north, the entire front attacked almost at the same time, and the siege was only bows, arrows, ladders and other objects. However, under the large-scale feint attack, Shu Lexu chose two points as the breakthrough point. Relying on the strength of the Jurchen elite, the extremely violent stormtroopers were cleverly hidden in the attack of the Han army, and the city wall was obviously not guarded by the Black Flag Army. The assault, on the afternoon of the seventh day of the lunar month, caused a huge threat to the Linzhou city wall.
This attack was like a blow to the head, and it could be regarded as Shu Xuesu's first test of the Huaxia army in front of him, but he failed to break the city in the end. On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, more than 30 catapults were assembled overnight by the Jurchen side, and they launched their positions. Together with more than 80 ladders, they attacked the western city wall of Linzhou.
In addition to the 23,000 people under Xu Chunyi, the Linzhou defender, the total number of defenders in Linzhou at this time was more than 30,000. Although the Jurchen is in a formation of three missing and one, it is impossible to relax anywhere in the entire city. In the sudden attack of the Jurchen, the pressure on the west side of the city reached its limit in an instant.
The soldiers of the Huaxia Army stationed here began to move towards this side, the cannons on the city wall roared, and arrows fell like rain. The Jurchen soldiers were like a swarm of bees in the field of vision. They pushed sandbags, mudbags, and carried cloud ladders. In a blink of an eye, they filled the moat and built the ladder to the city wall with a height of about two feet.
The city wall of Linzhou is not very high. There are more than 80 ladders, which fill every part of the city in the blink of an eye. The Jurchen soldiers who are not afraid of death charge up, but above the city wall, there are still Chinese soldiers like an iron wall. defense. No matter how brave the Jurchen soldiers are, it is difficult for a single person to break through the tacit cooperation of the soldiers of the Huaxia Army. This turned the western section of the city wall into a meat grinder in an instant.
The ferocious siege and fighting took about half an hour to reach its peak. It was just when the defensive power on the city wall was becoming saturated. On the northern battlefield, a Jurchen team of a thousand people launched a surprise attack, which was chosen just for defense. The siege point in the west has taken away the weak point of the manpower. At the same time, the Han army launched a strong attack on the city wall two miles north.
Such a siege tactic is never surprising. Although the defending army occupies a convenient location, as a defender, it is like a tight rubber band. The siege army only needs to choose a few places to repeatedly apply pressure, and the surrounding forces will be attracted In the past, it was inevitable to become a weak point, which was convenient for the siege party to attack the city.
Of course, such tactics are only suitable for armies with a very high level of combat power, such as the direct descendants of generals such as the Jurchen Army Zhongshu Speed, especially the elite of the elite. In the face of ordinary Wu Dynasty teams, they can often climb the city quickly. Even if they are not broken for a while, the opponent often has to pay several times the price if they want to retake the city wall.
On the city wall, Niu Baoting, the chief of Xu Chunyi's army, saw the Jurchen spread, his hands and feet were a little cold, he was an old man who had eaten in the army for many years, and he was already a soldier in the army. King Jin's army was of mixed good and bad. Niu Baoting was just a corporal who had been promoted from time to time. He had eyesight but also knew the danger. Seeing that the city wall on his side had become the place for the other side to attack, he knew that the evil was more fortunate than the good. And near here, those Huaxia Army soldiers have also been much less.
Leading a few people under his command, Niu Baoting shot a few arrows under the city wall, and in a blink of an eye, the cloud ladders were already set up one after another, and the Jurchen soldiers raised their shields and knives and charged fiercely on the ground. The battlefield is the best litmus test. Just by looking at how calmly they stepped on the ladder, they knew that each and every one of them were elites who had killed countless people on the battlefield. It was impossible for veterans to do it.
Cannons roared from the nearby city wall, and stones were thrown down, but after a while, Jurchen soldiers still climbed the city. Niu Baoting and his brothers killed one, and the other soldier who came up stood guard for a while, and then waited for a Jurchen soldier to climb the city. Two fierce Jurchens forced Niu Baoting and the other five to keep retreating. A brother was chopped to death in a pool of blood, and Niu Baoting was almost slashed in the head. He was afraid in his heart, and he retreated again and again, and saw that the Jurchen over there was in high spirits and killed him.
I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die
Veteran Youzi thought anxiously in his heart, on the one hand, the Jurchen in front of him was fierce, and on the other hand, once the Jurchen broke the city, everyone in the city would die. In this chaos, one of the soldiers under his command was slashed in the shoulder and ran to the other side of the city wall in fright.
Niu Baoting and the others also dodged in panic. In just a short while, Jurchen came to the city from different directions, and the fighting continued in the field of vision. For example, Niu Baoting and other soldiers under Xu Chunyi began to panic and defeat, but there were only a dozen or so. The soldiers of the Huaxia Army formed two formations, and they fought with the Jurchen soldiers who climbed the city and did not retreat for a long time.
After a while, another Chinese soldier came from both sides. Before Niu Baoting and the others could get out of the chaos, two Jurchen killing generals came over. He and his two subordinates tried their best to resist, and then four Chinese soldiers, armed with shields or knives and guns, rushed past him and took the two men. The Jurchen soldier was stabbed to death by a long spear. The gunman was obviously an officer in the Huaxia Army. He patted Niu Baoting on the shoulder: "Well, kill these golden dogs with me." Niu Baoting and others followed subconsciously.
The city head, which had just been opened by Jurchen, was taken back by the Huaxia soldiers in a blink of an eye. The Huaxia army officers rushing ahead instructed everyone to throw the Jurchen body at the city head onto the ladder. After the crisis was resolved, Niu Baoting saw a Chinese soldier sitting among the corpses on the ground, bandaging the wounds on his body, and smiled to himself: "Haha, be happy, I will speed up your mother."
A few days ago, at the Huaxia Army Organization Conference, although Niu Baoting was also touched, facing the real Jurchen elite, he still felt only fear. However, at this time, he suddenly realized that the current army, this black flag, is the only Han army in the world that can fight head-on with the Jurchen without being inferior. The battle in front of him is the confrontation between the two top armies in the world.
dying…
Veteran Youzi didn't have much impassion in his heart. After realizing this, he has also clearly realized that the current battle is bound to be unbearably intense. He and his people are sandwiched between these two armies. Even if they don't die now, I'm afraid they will die in the future. now...
On the fierce battlefield, between life and death, there will be all kinds of intense thoughts. In the position to the northwest of Linzhou City, the telescope held by Shu Liesu was put down, sighing at the unsuccessful return of a thousand-man team. But on the other hand, this was something he had long expected.
After all, it was not the first time that he had fought against the Black Flag Army.
In the battle of Xiaocang River a few years ago, he led the army to break through the city wall after besieging the Xiaocang River for nearly half a year, forcing the defending troops in the Xiaocang River to break through the embankment. He already knew the calmness and tenacity of the elites of the Huaxia Army in defense. The onslaught from yesterday to today only made him sure of one thing.
The army in front of him is not a partial division of the Black Flag Army in Shandong, and many of them are probably old opponents of the year.
His eyes were calm, and the blood in his heart was burning.
As a famous Jurchen general who followed Agu to fight, the now 49-year-old Shu Lisu can perceive the corruption of the new generation of Jurchen over the years. Young soldiers are no longer as brave as they used to be, and officials and generals are becoming weak and incompetent. Back then, the invincible aura of Agu when he was fighting and Wu Qimai's heroic arrogance that swallowed thousands of miles when he was fighting against Wu are gradually dissipating.
The series of setbacks in the attack on Xiaocanghe and the Northwest a few years ago were a blow to many Jurchen generals. It broke the thinking of many Jurchen generals to a certain extent, and retained the spirit of many Jurchen generals and the army. That's why, when facing this black flag team again, Shu Xuesu was not discouraged by the temporary setback, which made him fight with high spirits.
At other times, facing the Black Flag's army, he would have to make more preparations before launching an attack. But things are different now.
The snow melted and the ice disappeared, and Gu Shen had already started to target Jindi, killing Tianshi, dividing Jindi, and breaking the black flag. This series of plans continued to eliminate and fight. The Wan Nuzhen elites are fighting against the 10,000 Black Flag Army. Even if he pays some price, he must quickly decide the most intense and critical battle.
On the other hand, Lord Gushen's calculation is like a net, and the prepared backhand is definitely not just killing a Tian Shi. If he couldn't win Linzhou City under such circumstances, he would have no need to fight against the black flag in the future.
Thinking of this, Shu Liesu squinted his eyes, and for a moment, he summoned another general under his command and gave him an order to wait for an opportunity to attack...
On the eighth day of the second lunar month, there was a tidal wave of offensive under the Linzhou city, and Shu Liesu commanded the city to gain a firm foothold several times. Rivers of blood flowed up and down the city, and the injuries on both sides were not few.
However, the intensity of the attack is still increasing. As if to defeat the Huaxia Army with one blow, but also the hearts of the entire Jin region, Shule Speed never cared about the casualties of the soldiers. After more than a day of fighting, many Huaxia soldiers have fallen in a pool of blood forever, and most of the rest are red-eyed.
In the evening, when the setting sun cast a warm yellow light from the side of the sky, Huyanzhuo stood at the corner of the city and watched the troops attacking the city below briefly retreat. There are still traces of snow on the ground in the distance from the field of vision, and there is smoke and blood lingering in the vicinity.
A few artillery shells were ignited by the rocket in this corner of the city. The Linzhou garrison, originally under Xu Chunyi's command, was in chaos. , There were black marks on the front of the city, corpses and weapons fell on the ground in a mess, and some soldiers had already begun to clean them up. Huaxia soldiers first took care of the seriously wounded. Some of the lightly injured or tired hid in the safe place behind the parapet, breathing well and resting. There was blood and excitement in their eyes.
"Back then, Xiao Canghe was much more lively than here..."
The voices of nearby veterans could be heard in my ears, and there was a condescending tone in the panting, and they were actually cheering up those around them. Looking at both ends of the city wall, where the black flags fluttered, you could see the figures of the Chinese troops.
Huyanzhuo knew many of these figures. The soldiers who survived after participating in the Xiaocanghe battle often have characteristics that cannot be ignored. They are either nervous, serious or indifferent on weekdays. On the battlefield, these people are not. More like a stone, it is not noticeable in the fight, but it is often able to make the most suitable response at the most suitable time.
Most of these people who can lead the army have become officers in the Huaxia Army, and those who are a little lonely can also drive several people to form a small circle on the battlefield. At this time, they were scattered all over the city wall. After the fierce battle, many people probably recalled the fierce battle in Xiao Canghe.
On the field outside the city, the Jurchen battle flag stretches, symbolizing the most vicious army in the world. And when his eyes swept over these figures on the city wall, Hu Yanzhuo's eyes also seemed to see a city wall that would not fall. Back then in Liangshan, Song Jiang gathered many heroes from all over the world, trying to get rid of the 108 heroes of Heaven and Earth. Today, they may not be able to take a blow from this army.
After a day of siege, the Jurchen soldiers were retreating across the board for the first time, pausing the fatigue offensive. Most of the people looking down from the top of the city were suspicious. Beside Huyanzhuo, Li Nian, the staff officer of the Black Flag Army, came over and told him something in a low voice.
"The news has just come, and the army of King Ming led by Wang Juyun is already within 20 miles, and the road is not easy to walk in the dark. They will arrive tomorrow at the latest. In addition, the boss Zhu has also joined the three thousand horses outside... The speed will not fail. Knowing these things, he didn't want to rest after a day's fatigue offensive suddenly withdrew his troops."
Huyanzhuo nodded and called the officers around him: "Let everyone cheer up, the speed is not so lazy, and the attack can continue at any time." Then he picked up the binoculars and looked at the opposite position, in the dark camp People and horses are running, and it is very lively.
Then, something was slowly rising from the rear of the Jurchen camp.
"I... fuck!" Huyanzhuo scolded. The city head buzzed loudly.
It was an inflating hot air balloon.
Since the Huaxia Army mastered the technology of hot air balloons, recently it is said that the Wu Dynasty has also developed a finished product. .
But it was enough to prove that Zong Han, Xi Yin and the others attached great importance to and determined to win this battle.
The atmosphere at the top of the city suddenly became chilling, the figures were running, and they were moved to be used as fireworks for air defense. After a while, the direction of the Jurchen military camp once again set up an offensive position.
*************
The night has begun to lead the generals, the bonfire stretches into a sea of light, and the siege battle is being prepared. In the darkness behind the field of vision, three huge balloons slowly inflate and lift into the sky. In the crowded camp, the surrendered general Shen Wenjin ran all the way through the formation of the army, and finally arrived in front of the handsome flag of Shuxuesu.
The Jurchen is powerful. Shen Wenjin was a general of the Han army who surrendered to Cheng Zonghan at the end of last year. The soldiers under his command were well equipped and there were more than 10,000 people. Facing the Jurchen, this army broke its courage and collapsed in the first battle. After surrendering, in order to show its loyalty and seek some wealth, it fought quite effectively. Today, during the day, Shen Wenjin led his army to the city twice and fought hard once. Not retreating, it caused a lot of kills to the Huaxia Army at the head of the city, and the performance was extremely dazzling.
Shu Liesu summoned him at this time, praised him in front of everyone, and then let him stand by and listen to the arrangements for the discussion and attack. Shen Wenjin was naturally quite happy on the surface, but it was strange in his heart. In such a tense siege situation, Shulei had to arrange an attack, and the order was to call himself here. If the siege can't go down, I have to call myself over to stimulate the rest of the Jurchen generals.
He has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and he knows the truth of being wise and protecting himself. However, the speed of the above-mentioned operation was over, and he was not regarded as a sacrifice to stimulate the rest of the generals for a while. After a while, most of the attack plans were put in place, all the armies had issued orders to prepare, and the speed of the operation did not let Shen Wenjin go.
Soon, the attack began after nightfall. With the sound of the Jurchen bugle, the trebuchet threw rocks soaked in kerosene and ignited. The huge fireball whistled towards the head of Linzhou City, followed by the rocket. Locusts, the attacking team is carrying the ladder and dashing forward...
"General Shen, come with me."
I don't know when, Shu Lie came quickly and said something, and Shen Wenjin quickly agreed to follow. The guards at the rear also followed.
Shu Liesu took Shen Wenjin and walked horizontally along the siege army. The sound at night seemed to be noisy, and the siege scene on the side of the field of vision was like a boiling drama. : "General Shen, do you think you can take Linzhou tonight?"
"With the elites under the general's command and the intensity of the siege, the last general thought that the city would definitely be captured tonight."
Shu Liesu turned to look at him, his eyes were not good: "General Shen, you are the leading general, I use you because you are good at fighting and understand tactics. Now in this situation, what you want is your vision and strategy, you don't have much. Flattery."
"Uh..." Shen Wenjin was stunned for a while, "Then, will the last tell the truth?"
"Say."
"Bai Ri and other tactics, if they can be captured, they have already captured it. Now, it is just a wheel battle to exhaust the black flag army in the city to the limit. According to the observation of the last general in the day, this black flag is The combat power of the army, I am afraid that it will not lose to me, if I really want to hit the city like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to make achievements in three or five days. And... I am afraid that our damage will also be heavy... "
Hearing what he said, the corners of the front of Shu Lisu's mouth moved slightly, like a smile: "Then tell me, why did I fight like this?"
"Just because... this battle is related to the whole situation in Jin. Once the black flag is defeated, the entire Jin is no longer able to be my big gold striker. Moreover, I heard that the negotiation is going on in the south, and this time was decided this morning. When you're done... choose a lineup."
These words are very straightforward, but some of them should not be said by his identity as a Han. After he said it, Shen Wenjin became a little hesitant. Only after that, did he really see a smile on Shu Liesu's face, he quietly Looking at Shen Wenjin for a moment.
"Yeah, General Shen also saw it. I must win, and I must win quickly. Besides that, what else can I do?"
Shen Wenjin hesitated for a moment: "... yes... yes."
After listening to Shen Wenjin's answer, Shu Liesu walked forward again with satisfaction. Shen Wenjin thought about it for a while, and then said: "Also, according to the future, the wind is not right now, and the three... balloons at the rear cannot fly to the city wall. Although they can raise some pressure on the city head, they are too useful at this time. It's too early." His words were from the bottom of his heart, but Shu Liesu ignored them, and after a while, the words rang out.
"When I led the army south, Lord Gushen gave me a bag and asked me to open it when I arrived at the battlefield. There was a plan to destroy the city in the bag. This plan can only be accomplished without someone's help. General Shen, I will attack the city today. Seeing that you fought bravely, and your officers and men took their lives, so I would like to ask you to help me with this strategy." Shu Liesu turned around and said, "How about it, General Shen, are you willing to take this city-breaking power into your pocket?"
Shen Wenjin was stunned for a moment, then pushed Jinshan down to the ground and knelt on the ground: "But the general has a life, and the general will be respectful!"
"Okay." Shu Liesu looked at the fierce battle at the head of the city of Linzhou, the flames jumped on his face, and then he lifted up Shen Wenjin, "I will explain the details of this strategy with you, whether we can break the city quickly, then I will tell you. It's all up to General Shen..."
…
In the middle of the night, the cold wind whistled in the snow-covered mountains in the northeast of Linzhou, and the team continued to stretch forward in the rugged mountains.
Passing through the deep forest and over the snowy ridges, no torches were lit before and after the entire team. In the first half of February, the air began to warm from the cold, so that the snow was no longer as stable as in winter. People stepped into the snow and pulled it out one by one. The snow was slightly melted by the hot air, and then frozen by the cold of the night, so that the march in the middle of the night did not have the slightest temperature.
Going forward, the team crossed a narrow cliff. In the whimpering cold wind, soldiers one by one, pulling simple ropes, passed the cliff road that was only enough for one person to cross, and one side of the body was Bottomless ravine.
Zhu Biao and the scouts who led the way walked at the forefront, exploring the road while fixing the rope on the steep mountain wall. If you fall, there may be no bones left.
However, this mountain wall, which even hunters would not dare to walk in normal times, is the only way to approach Linzhou silently.
A few days ago, as Shu Laisu moved south, the Huaxia Army staff responded quickly. After the assassination of Tian Shi, the internal strife in Jin, and the frontal defeat of the Huaxia Army was obviously a key step in Wanyan Xiyin's series of actions. At this time, with the death of Tian Shi, the morale of Jindi dropped to the lowest point, and the Huaxia army of only ten thousand people could not be defeated, but it could not easily avoid the battle.
But on the other hand, the Huaxia army with ten thousand people is sticking to Linzhou, hoping to boost the morale of the entire Jin region? Obviously a stupid choice. After receiving Wang Juyun's response, Guan Sheng divided the 11,000-strong Huaxia Army into two groups. One group of more than 8,000 people entered Linzhou, relying on the advantages of city defense, to fight against Shulei Speed, and the other group of more than 3,000 people. The team was divided into the northeast, waiting for the arrival of Zhu Biao.
This choice is mainly to prevent Linzhou from becoming a place of death. On the other hand, considering the strategic needs of the Jurchens, Shulei's quick attack on Linzhou will definitely seek a quick victory. The numerical advantage of 30,000 to 10,000 is certainly considerable, but there are likely to be other backers. Therefore, from the beginning of this battle, it will inevitably become a fierce confrontation between the two elite teams. Three thousand preparations, not too far, not too close, for the initiative on the battlefield, it is best to avoid the eyes of the speed, and later, this dangerous mountain road has become the only choice.
The night wind blew like a steel knife, and there was a sudden movement from behind. Zhu Biao looked back and saw that in the mountain road, there were several figures suddenly messed up, three figures fell towards the mountain stream, and one of them was caught in front of him. The soldiers grabbed it hard, and the other two disappeared in a blink of an eye.
There was no excessive sound from the mountain road, just because before the departure, the army was strictly ordered not to make a sound. The long queue of 3,000 people passed through this cliff in succession and cautiously. During this period, several people fell down the deep stream one after another and left this world forever.
Some people wept, but the team continued to spread silently. When everyone crossed the cliff, some people looked back. The mountain in the dark was quiet and did not leave any traces of talent. Soon, this cliff was also destroyed. They were quickly left behind.
It was dark and cold ahead, and the road to Linzhou was still far away...
…
After midnight, the siege of Linzhou stopped again. The fierce battle seemed to be able to pierce the city wall every moment, but in the end, this intention was still not realized.
Jurchen Ming Jin withdrew his troops, but still maintained a posture that seemed to be likely to launch a fierce attack at any time. At the rear of the camp west of the battlefield, Shen Wenjin called his confidant generals in the camp. He didn't say what he was going to do, but just left them all behind.
The best time is yet to come, and we have to wait.
…
After Zi Shi is Ugly Time, Ugly Time goes to the end, the city wall has calmed down, the guarding soldiers have changed, and the night is gradually going to the deepest part.
Ten miles away, the reinforcements led by Wang Juyun set up camp in the snowy night, waiting for Tianming to enter the battlefield. Once reinforcements arrive, the situation in Linzhou will ease a little. It was for this reason that at three quarters of ugly time, the Golden Army camp moved abruptly, and three thousand-man teams launched an attack from different directions one after another, and the attack lasted for a quarter of an hour.
Finally, it came back in vain.
Near Yin Shi, Jin Bing retreated. It was three o'clock in the night at this time, and after being nervous, a huge tiredness was pressing down on everyone. At the moment of Yin Shi, in Linzhou City, the defending general Xu Chunyi came out of the courtyard and walked towards the west side of the city wall, with his henchmen following him.
A street away from here, Yan Qing, dressed in black, waved his hand and followed in the same direction.
