In the rumbling sound of the cannons, the brutal soldiers walked through the city, and the flames and blood had already drowned everything.
In the continuous struggle and roar, Zhe Keqiu, who was seriously injured, finally lowered his head and stopped moving. Chen Shiqun's laughter gradually became hoarse. When he looked back, a group of Mongolians were taking prisoners. Push on the high city wall of Fuzhou, and then push it down in rows.
The entire city also seemed to collapse and fall in the roar and flames.
Over the past few years, in this place, Zhe Keqiu and the Western Army under his command have struggled and dealt with, and the nearby scenery and people have long since melted into the heart and become part of the memory. Until this time, he finally understood that from now on, all of this will no longer exist.
Just like his dead wife, daughter and family.
Just like the fallen Central Plains and Wu Dynasty.
He also knew at this time that Emperor Zhou Yong had escaped and the Wu Dynasty had finally collapsed. Sometimes, people are in the midst of this wave of drastic changes in the world, and they feel unbelievable about the many changes, but at this time, he saw the sight of the people in the city being slaughtered. After being confused, he finally understood. come over.
The drastic changes in the world are overwhelming, this is an irresistible force, how can the mere prefectures be spared
In the midst of the raging fire, the Khan Dynasty named Jamuka came over here, laughter heavy and heroic. With tears in his eyes, Chen Shiqun moved towards the other person's figure, raised his hands high, and knelt down.
Behind him, the family was destroyed, the ethnic group dispersed early, the small northwest has become a white land, the Wu Dynasty is disintegrating in blood and fire, and the beasts of the Jurchen are ravaging the world. History never turns back. At this moment, he can only adapt to this change and make the last choice he can make as a Han Chinese.
Dedicate this world to conquerors from the grasslands.
****************
When a little man named Chen Shiqun made a terrifying choice in a corner of the northwest where no one cared about. The prince of the Wu Dynasty, who had just succeeded to the throne, was pressing on the last national fortune of the dynasty that lasted for more than two hundred years, and made a Jedi counterattack in Jiangning that shocked the whole world.
Outside Jiangning City on the seventh day of September, as more than 100,000 defenders rushed out, the mutiny of the crowd erupted like a plague in a vast area spanning dozens of miles.
More than two months of siege, shrouded the millions of surrendering troops, is the Jurchen merciless and the high pressure that may be transferred to the battlefield at any time to die, and with the collapse and surrender of more and more areas of the Wu Dynasty, Jiangning The surrendered troops had no way to rebel or escape, and could only wait for the judgment of fate in daily torment.
The new emperor of the Wu Dynasty succeeded to the throne, but he could not save them from water and fire, but as the white banner of Zhou Yong's death fell, the dragon flag for the death on the seventh day of the first day was raised. This is the signal of the last chance, but it is also in everyone's flashed in my mind.
Such an opportunity, of course, is not an opportunity to fight against the Jiangning defenders. The place of Chen Bing of one million people is vast and far away. If there is a real fight, many people are still on the periphery of the battlefield day and night. However, with the appearance of the war signal, all kinds of rumors are almost half an hour. , swept the entire battlefield, and then turned into an uncontrollable riot and broke out on the battlefield with the thoughts and incitement of "taking the opportunity to escape" or "fighting with them".
Soldiers who were not fully equipped with weapons rushed out of the wooden wall that surrounded them and rushed in different directions with various thoughts. Soon after, they were wrapped in the mighty crowd and ran involuntarily.
The soldiers who were killed from Jiangning City slammed the edge of the surrendering army, and drove them westward with a roar. The millions of people were more like sheep on this day. Some people lost their way, and some people were in The generals who were still alive shouted and continued westward.
The first group of surrendered troops who approached the Jurchen barracks just chose to flee, and were then ruthlessly suppressed by Zongfu troops, but not long after, the main force of the navy led by Jun Wu and Han Shizhong rushed up one after another. Auxiliary Qi was in a hurry, and they defended the ground, but after noon, more and more troops of the Wu Dynasty surrendered to the flanks and rear of the Jurchen camp, and rushed over desperately.
This is the last bloody spirit of the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty who were inspired. They were wrapped in a tidal wave of charge, and they were constantly shaken and annihilated by the artillery fire of the Jurchen. On the front line of the battlefield, the Zhenhai Navy and the Jurchen forward troops were constantly clashing. In the encouragement of Jun Wu, Zhen Hai even had the upper hand, suppressing the Jurchen troops to retreat.
In the south of Jiangning City, the Beiwei Army led by Yue Fei was like a hungry wolf. It smashed the Central Plains Han Army troops that were loyal to the truth and the truth with an almost crazy offensive, and drove the Wu Dynasty surrendered troops to pounce with the huge pressure of the cavalry troops. Wanyan Zongfu, as for the three quarters of the afternoon, Beiwei Army cut the tide-like front line and extended the most severe attack to Wanyan Zongfu.
So far, Wanyan Zongfu's flank line of defense has fallen, and the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops have finally withdrawn to the west and south.
…
The autumn wind is sassy, in the south of Jiangzhou City, when he saw the news of the war that just came, Xi Yin's hand holding the paper trembled slightly, his lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes became sharp.
Beside him, carts of grain and grass are entering the city, and the grain convoy coming from the south, under the guard of the soldiers, stretches almost endlessly.
Wanyan Qingjue, who came to ask for safety, was waiting behind him. This little prince of the Jin Kingdom made great achievements in the previous wars and got rid of the image of a playboy with nepotism. Now he is about to go to Changsha to lobby and incite various forces in the surrounding area. Surrender and pawn on the couch.
Xi Yin read out the information on the intelligence slowly.
"... At the end of this battle, Zongfu's army retreated for more than 40 miles, and the army led by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others chased and killed them all the way. By the end of the night, nearly 30,000 people were killed, injured or missing... Waste." Xi Yin slowly He folded the paper, "I have already warned him about the situation of Jiangning's battle, don't treat the surrendered Han Chinese as human beings, and sooner or later they will be attacked. I thought I had humiliated these Han people, why would Jiangning be melted into molten iron... If you don't do such a stupid thing, Jiangning will be finished."
Xi Yin's words stopped word by word, but Wanyan Qingjue knew that the master was already in great anger, he considered for a moment: "If this is the case, the new emperor of the Wu Dynasty broke the dangerous situation in Jiangning, and I am afraid that it will become the weather again? Master, do you want it? Go back... help those two..."
"It can't be done." Xi Yin shook his head, "In the Jiangnan area, those who surrendered have expressed their positions one after another, and the Wu Dynasty is in decline, just like an avalanche. Even if some places want to surrender and go back, Jiangning's army is hard to say. hold on to…”
"But the army of one million Wu Dynasty..."
"The native chicken and the dog, let's not talk about whether they dare to go back to other people's hands or not, the autumn harvest is over, and now most of the military rations in Jiangnan are in my hands. The new king guarded Jiangning for three months. Whether he can feed people is a question. , don't worry about this. After Zongfu Zongbi regroups, Jiang Ning will not be able to hold it. The only chance for the new monarch is to leave Jiangnan and take Zongfu Zongbi around. If he wants to find a place to defend himself, go down. I won't have this chance again." Xi Yin paused, two strands of white hair fluttering in the mountain wind, "What makes the teacher sigh is that my Jurchen's combat power has faded, and it is no longer the fact of the year. It was finally revealed by those prodigal sons, look at it, the one from the southwest is good at propaganda, and the fact that the 120,000 Han army broke the Jurchen million will soon be talked about."
Wanyan Qingjue said: "But at this time, I believe these Xu remarks are no longer able to return to the sky. However, Master... The Han army in the Wu Dynasty has no morale to speak of. Even if millions of soldiers are sent to the southwest this time, I am afraid it will not be enough. It is difficult to have much influence on the Black Flag Army. The disciples are worried…”
"Drive donkeys and boil eagles, use their own methods." Xi Yin shook his head, "Master has already said Zongfu's fallacy, how could he be as stupid as him. The land in the south of the Yangtze River is vast, and when the Wu Dynasty fell, everyone sought to protect themselves. In the future, I will live in the northern end of the country, and I will be beyond the reach of the whip. Instead of trying to force them to death, it is better to let the warlords from all sides separate themselves and let them kill themselves. For the battle of the southwest, I will treat it fairly, and the rewards and punishments will be clear, as long as they stay If you can play a certain role on the battlefield, I will not be stingy with rewards. You guys, don't rely on your being a great gold medalist, your eyes are above the top, you must know that an obedient dog is much more useful than a dog who blames you. "
Wanyan Qingjue bowed and said, "Teacher's teachings, Qingjue will keep in mind and never forget."
Xi Yin waved his hand: "Okay, let's go, this time you go to Changsha, you have to be careful about everything, I heard that several groups of people from the Huaxia Army have already passed there, your status is honorable, when you act, pay attention to protection. Own."
"Master, please rest assured, over the past few years, Qing Jue has not despised her pride in the Huaxia Army. This time, she will live up to the king's life... As for the several groups of Huaxia Army, Qing Jue is also ready to meet. Meet them!"
He said these words in his mouth, and after a while, he left under Xi Yin's gaze. He led a horse team of thousands of people to leave Jiangzhou and set out on the journey. Not long after, on the other side of the mountains, he saw the traces of Yinshu that could lead the army to move. The flag stretched all the way, like a raging iron current.
This is the arrogance that swallowed the world on the road to the rise of the Jurchen. Wanyan Qingjue looked at it from a distance and was full of pride. He knew that the older generation would slowly pass away, and soon, the responsibility of protecting this country would overwhelm theirs. On his shoulders, at this moment, he was proud of the heroic scene he could still see.
The surging army, advancing westward.
…
To the west of Chengdu, hundreds of miles away, is the high-lying Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is now called Tubo.
Tubo has a long history. All the herding tribes have been fighting for a long time. Since the Tang Dynasty, in the hands of several kings such as Songtsan Gampo, there was a brief period of great unification. But soon after, the complex fell into a split again, and the various princes on the plateau fought separately, divided and merged. So far, the glory of the late Tang Dynasty has not been restored.
Dayang, located at the southern tip of Tubo, is a medium-sized tribe that once naturally prospered for nearly a hundred years, but has gradually declined. A few decades ago, a man who pursued the Dao of the Sword traveled to the plateau and forged a deep friendship with the leader of the Dayang tribe. This man was Liu Dabiao, the owner of Ba Dao Zhuang.
The Dayang Tribe, which owns a large open-pit iron mine in its jurisdiction, has had close contacts with Ba Dao Zhuang since then, and once established a very reliable smuggling channel. Later, in the Fangla uprising, many weapons were also secretly transported from Tubo. However, with the failure of the Yongle uprising, the power of Ba Dao Zhuang fell into a low ebb. The Dayang tribe in Tubo was also invaded by several nearby tribes. In a few years, it was almost annexed and delisted.
On the eve of the Xiaocanghe battle, Ning Yi deployed Ba Dao Zhuang's troops to Da Yang to stabilize the situation. Later, the Huaxia Army retreated south, and some of the elites were put into Dayang by Ning Yi. On the one hand, it was to keep the precious iron ore in Dayang, and on the other hand, it was to further train troops in a closed environment. After arriving, more than 20,000 soldiers with strong bodies and tenacity entered this place one after another. They first defeated several nearby Tibetan tribes, and then settled on the plateau.
In the past few years, the Dayang tribe has been attacked and conquered by nearby parties. Almost all the young and strong members of the tribe have been killed or injured. However, the people on the plateau are fierce and fierce, and no one even offered to surrender before the men of the tribe died. idea. When the Huaxia Army came over, there were a large number of women and children left in the Dayang Department. In order to survive the ethnic groups on the plateau, the young soldiers of the Huaxia Army also hoped to get married, and the two sides were united. So now, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army have replaced most of the men of the Dayang tribe, and the two sides have gradually merged.
For several years, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army have been polishing their physique and will on the plateau. They galloped on the fields and patrolled on the snow peaks. Batches of soldiers were required to cooperate and survive in the harshest environment. . What was used to polish their thinking was the constantly mentioned Battle of Xiaocanghe, the tragedy between the Northland and the Han Chinese in the Central Plains, the humiliation brought by the Jurchen raging in the world, and the glory of Hedeng three counties smashing out of the Chengdu Plain.
Compared with the massive training of administrative members in Hedengsan County, on this plateau, the black flag army led by Qin Shaoqian is more focused on tempering everything they were born for fighting, and every day they are training the soldiers. The body and will is tempered into the most fierce and deadly steel.
Among them, the one that can bring them comfort is the warmth brought by the wives and children of the soldiers who have already married; The Xiao Canghe War Monument, every day, the black monument quietly and silently looks down on everyone, reminding them of their tragic past and their mission.
On this day, a low horn sounded above the plateau.
The soldiers came back from the high snowy peaks and the field of training, hugging their wives and children at home with tears in their eyes. They began to gather in the square of the military camp and put down certain objects containing memories of the past in front of the huge monument: once The blood clothes, bandages, armor pieces, broken blades of the dead brothers...
This is what the army asked of them all when they came to the plateau. Every soldier should bring something to remember the Xiaocang River and the bloody battles.
"... One day, when you put down these things, we will come out of here and collect all the blood debts from those enemies."
Many things were put down one after another, goshawks flew high in the sky, and under the sky, rows and rows of chilling phalanxes silently formed. Their tall and straight statures are almost identical, straight as steel.
Qin Shaoqian stepped onto the high platform.
"... The Jurchen destroyed the Wu Dynasty, and will enter Chengdu... Nianhan is here!" His voice spread far above the plateau, echoing in the sky, and in the sky not high, there were clouds gathering along with the voice . But no one paid attention, and the voice of people was spreading on the earth.
"Everyone!" The voice echoed, "The hour..."
"arrive!"
After the sound fell, there was a loud bang that shook the ground on the plateau, like a jade dragon that had been frozen for thousands of years and began to disintegrate.
On this day, the Chinese Seventh Army began to leap out of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
…
More than a hundred miles away from the Huaxia Army's station, Guo Yaoshi received news of Da Yang's change.
The surroundings were quiet and silent, and he walked out of the tent. It seemed that the oxygen-deficient environment on the plateau made him feel depressed.
A trembling emotion started from the tailbone and spread inch by inch.
He knew that a huge storm unrelated to the plateau was about to blow up...
