In the gap between the beginning of the war, Ning Yi, who has been human for two generations, and his wife sighed that the child was not cute when he grew up. After all, it was a novel experience that he had never had before.
What is really fortunate is that many children still have the possibility and space to grow up.
In order to fight for such space, the southwest has long been mobilized across the board. The first wave of fights at Yamaguchi in Huangming County lasted for four days.
In the three days after the twenty-fifth, Ci did not lose the subconscious control of the offensive and reduced casualties. Pang Lu'an also stopped firing large-scale artillery when he was not facing the main force of the Jurchen. But even under such circumstances, the casualties of the troops driven by the Jurchen side were still over 10,000, and the loss of combat power was approaching 15,000.
Most of these casualties came from the elites of the surrendered Han army who rushed to the front. Although they were mixed in with a large number of civilians who were repeatedly driven into battle, although large-scale shelling was no longer launched on them on the city wall, and although the city wall in front was no more than 30 feet high... But even if it was just a hand-to-hand defensive battle, these could not be resolved. When facing the elites of the black flag at the head of the city, the soldiers in the front of the city could only be regarded as rushing forward to experience the massacres again and again.
Siege battles are not equal battles, and the defending side has the upper hand in the battle no matter what. Even if it is not a condescending iron cannon that can set fire at any time, and all kinds of defensive objects such as rolling wood, stone bows, arrows, and gold juice are removed, the outcome is determined by hand-to-hand combat with swords and spears. The three-zhang-high city wall, the soldiers who climbed up one by one relying on the cloud ladder, often fell to the ground if they couldn't even slash out when facing two or three soldiers of the Huaxia Army who cooperated tacitly.
Even the Jurchen elites who are known for being fierce and fearless and their morale are like rainbows, and who have killed all over the world, in such a situation, the ending is not different at all.
The vanguard generals like Wuritan insisted on returning a few tricks with the defense of the armor, and the rest of the Jurchen soldiers could only see the same fierce iron shield slamming over in the fierce collision. The cooperation of the iron shield is desperate, and the soldiers behind the iron shield have a firmness and enthusiasm that is not inferior to the Jurchens. When the shield is removed, their knives are equally bloodthirsty.
For the warm-up of the battle with the Jurchen, the Huaxia Army has already started ten years ago. From Xiao Canghe to the present, all kinds of propaganda and encouragement have become more solid, heavier and more missionary. It can be said that at the moment when the Jurchen arrived in the southwest, the Huaxia Army, who had been waiting for several years in suffocation, was even more looking forward to and thirsty.
However, the 1,500-meter city wall was arranged first, and it was also the elite of the Huaxia Army who had won the ranking in various military competitions earlier. At the beginning of the war, at the moment when the spirit is full, the fierceness of the Jurchen is only limited. It will make these people feel the ferocity and death of the blood-boiled enemy add up to give people the greatest sense of pride.
The soldiers would slash to the ground in an orderly manner, and throw their corpses down the city walls, the climbers who came in a rush but were outnumbered and outnumbered in any case. The leading generals are also cherishing the pleasure of fighting with low casualties. They all know that with the successive attacks of Jurchen, even the smallest casualties will gradually accumulate into wounds that cannot be ignored, but the more blood they see at this time, the more The higher the morale on his side, the more likely he will be able to fight a bloody path in the offensive of the other party's crowd.
Twenty-seven, on the afternoon of the third day of the war, the Han soldiers who rushed to the edge of the city wall did not dare to go to the city. They are not all fools. This first round of attacks may not be able to knock down the seemingly low city wall in front, and the casualties of rushing to the city are not low. But if you go up the ladder, it will be like a gluttonous mouth in two or three days, basically as much as you swallow. Except for some people who jumped down in fear when they climbed the city, the only ones who could get down were corpses.
Twenty-eighth, Tu Lisu beheaded several Han army generals in front of the battle.
On this day, there were still fires burning from time to time in the rugged mountains and forests nearby, black smoke columns raging in the sky between the forests, and the scorching breath permeated the battlefields far and near.
On the twenty-ninth day, light rain gradually fell in the sky. Pulling off the speed stopped the attack in front of the mountain pass in Huangming County, and the first round of statistics and rest had to start. The transportation capacity of the rear road was limited. Even if most of the casualties were cannon fodder, replenishment would always take a certain amount of time.
This rest only lasted for three or two days. On the first day of November, the weather turned fine, and the Battle of Rainwater Creek started on the third day of the third year. The wide-wheeled siege vehicle, which is strong enough to withstand the shelling and can overcome the undulating terrain to a certain extent, was pushed by the soldiers and started a formal attack on Huangming County.
Until the eleventh year of Jianshuo, the fighting in the southwest never ceased.
****************
The war in the world has never stopped.
In mid-November, on the waters of the East China Sea, a gust of wind whipped up waves, and two huge fleets encountered each other on the hazy sea. Hu Sunming, the general who led the Taihu Fleet and had already taken refuge with the Jurchen, witnessed the scene of the Dragon Boat Fleet rushing towards this side.
"Defeat those old soldiers! Catch the former princess Zhou Pei alive, they are all people who are greedy for life and fear of death! Seeing the death of Dajin, one of them fled without abandoning the country! The destiny is no longer in the Wu Dynasty."
At the battle mobilization meeting, Hu Sunming said hysterically, for the huge dragon ship that seemed to be huge and clumsy, but he believed that it was the biggest weakness of the entire fleet of the opponent. Surrender without a fight.
But the Dragon Boat Fleet did not use the palace-like ship as the main ship at this time. Princess Zhou Pei, dressed in pure white mourning clothes, boarded the heights of the central warship so that everyone could see her, and then waved her drumsticks to fight.
Hu Sunming once thought it was a substitute or a bait. Before that, the military of the Wu Dynasty was accustomed to the use of various tactics. But in fact, at this moment, it is not an illusion. For the battle at this moment, Zhou Pei practiced swinging the hammer every day for two months on the ship. Every day on the surrounding ships, the faint sound can be heard far away. The sound of the drums, two months later, Zhou Pei's arms seemed to be thick.
When they learned of her plan to go into battle, some officials once came to persuade Zhou Pei that her appearance might boost morale, but it would inevitably become the biggest flaw in the entire fleet. For these views, Zhou Pei rejected them one by one.
No matter how big the world is, there is no turning back. At the moment when her father died and her younger brother's life and death were uncertain, she didn't think too much.
The sound of the drums continued on the sea for more than an hour, and all the warships escorted Zhou Pei all the way to attack. After that, the Taihu Fleet mutinied and collapsed. Hu Sunming was forced into the sea by the mutinous soldiers, and was later fished up. He was waiting for him soon. After that, Ling Chi was executed.
While Zhou Pei made a bloody path on the southeast sea, Jun Wu, with the assistance of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, rushed out of Jiangning and started a journey of escape to the southeast.
On the way, Zongfu and Zongbi chased after each other. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei organized several battles one after the other. At the end of November, they recaptured Suzhou, took a break, dealt with a group of officials who had surrendered to the enemy, and released a group of people who had been persecuted.
Coming out of the prison, the snow had already fallen, and He Wen hugged his body tightly. He was ragged and skinny like a beggar, and in front of him was the desolate and chaotic scene of the city. No one paid him any attention.
He used to be a Confucian man with both civil and military skills, and the military dynasty was in danger, and he once ran for the country with passion. He Wen once went to the southwest to assassinate Mr. Ning. Who knows that he joined the Huaxia Army by coincidence and even had a relationship with Lin Jingmei, who Ning Yi regarded as his daughter.
He watched the development of the Huaxia Army, but did not trust the concept of the Huaxia Army. In the end, his contact with the outside world was found out. Ning Yi persuaded him to stay but failed, and finally he could only be released home.
After He Wen returned to his home in Suzhou, Suzhou officials found out that he had ties to the Huaxia Army and sent him to prison again. He Wen defended for a while, but local officials knew that his family was quite wealthy, and they took it upon themselves. They tortured He Wen severely, and then extorted money and real estate from the He family. This is the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo.
In the tenth year of Jianshuo, He Wenshen was in prison, and his family was gradually exploited. His parents died in depression in the first half of the year. One day, his wife and children never came to see him again. starved to death outside the prison. He Wen also thought about escaping prison, but his hand was interrupted, and he suffered several serious illnesses in prison. After all, he lost his martial arts skills. In fact, in the prison at this time, he was not the only one who was wronged.
He was in prison and gradually learned about the demise of the Wu Dynasty, but all this seemed to have nothing to do with him. When he was released on this day, looking at all this decadent, it seemed that the world no longer needed him.
He returned to his old house following his memories of the past. The house was probably burned to rubble by someone not long ago, or it was the work of the rebels. He Wen went around to inquire about the situation of the rest of the family, but found nothing. The white snow fell, just about to cover up the black ruins.
He Wen knelt in the snow and made a sad, unpleasant sound. His throat was hoarse, but at this time he couldn't even cry normally.
In the past year, Jurchen ravaged the south of the Yangtze River. Whether or not his wife and children survived under the bullying of the evil officials, I am afraid it is difficult to escape this even greater man-made disaster. Starting to evacuate from Suzhou, He Wen followed the civilians heading south and started a bloody journey...
****************
In the north, the snow is getting bigger and bigger every day, and the world has gradually been covered by ice and snow.
Cloud Palace is still somewhat popular.
Holding the chopped firewood, Tang Minjie trembled into the hut that seemed to be uninhabited for a long time, and began to crouch by the stove to make a fire. He has been here for several years, and he has become accustomed to the life here. At this time, his every move is like the most rustic old farmer. After the fire was lit, he rolled up his sleeves and twitched like a toad by the fire as he shivered.
The weather, after all, is too cold.
People who can survive in this kind of ice and snow are really scary.
Hehehe... I'm not afraid of the cold either...
He simulated this unreal and perverted idea in his mind, and then there were regular knocks on the door outside.
Tang Minjie let out a breath of white air and stood up. He still had his sleeves up and his back hunched. When he opened the door, the cold wind blew in!
"Well… "
The wind and snow rolled wildly, Tang Minjie's footsteps couldn't help but retreat to the back, the man who rushed in had already grabbed his clothes, Tang Minjie's hand went up, the man shrank, stepped in again, and held down Tang Min Jie's throat slammed him against the wall behind him.
The cold wind was still blowing in from outside the door, and Tang Minjie was pressed there, slapped the other's arm with both hands, and his face gradually turned red.
What appeared in the room at this time was a woman with a knife on her waist and raised eyebrows. She pinched Tang Minjie's neck, gnashing her teeth and looking fierce. Tang Minjie couldn't breathe, waved his hands, pointed to the door, pointed to the stove, and then pointed everywhere, the woman said, "You remember me, I..."
"vomit, vomit..."
Tang Minjie's tongue gradually stretched out, and when it stretched out for a long time, the wet saliva was about to drip from the tip of the tongue and onto the opponent's hand, and then the woman's hand was released: "...you remember, I'm going to kill you..." Tang Minjie's throat was released, and his body was already bent, coughing desperately, and the fingers of his right hand stretched forward at will, about to touch the woman's chest.
"you"
"Cough, cough, cough!" In the room, the steel knife in the woman's hand had already been pulled out. Tang Minjie, as if not aware of it, bent over and turned a few times, covering his throat, and ran straight to the gate. The door of the room, and then ran to the fire to see the flame that had just started but was extinguished. He sat on the ground and complained in his eyes, "You are crazy!"
"You are really courting death." The woman raised her knife towards him, her eyes still trembling with anger.
"I'm looking for your mother! Cough, cough," Tang Minjie coughed a few times, although sitting on the ground, his words were more fierce, "Damn shoes! Pretend to be pure! I was sold as a maid for several years, and I forgot who I am. Yes!"
Tang Minjie's words were vicious, and the woman's eyes suddenly congested when she heard it, and she came over with a knife, but the man sitting on the ground kept yelling: "You are killing! You mother-in-law's bitch! Even saliva feels dirty! Touch you! Your chest can make you back! What are you doing! When you were caught, you weren't turned by a man! You forgot all about it! Cough, cough, cough..."
He rubbed his neck and coughed a few times, stood up from the ground, faced the other side's knife tip, walked straight over, put his neck there, and looked directly into the woman's eyes: "Come on, broken shoes! It looks a little bit different now. It looks like it, stab it here."
Tang Minjie continued to walk forward, the woman shook her hand twice, and finally withdrew the tip of her knife: "The madman of the Black Flag Army..."
Tang Minjie rubbed his neck and turned his head, then snapped his fingers: "I won!"
He turned around and walked back to the stove, continued to light the fire, and said, "It's none of your business whether you're crazy or not. In a place like this, there are people who have no tomorrow. Every time you see me, you have to threaten me. I don't even know what you want to do. Why, are you a dog? You have to bark a few times at the owner's side every time, or you're not comfortable, right? What are you trying to threaten me? Your master?"
The woman's arm trembled, but she calmed down and gritted her teeth: "... Since the last time Madam saw you, the situation was very wrong, and it was even better recently after a serious illness. You... Madam has something for me and my family. The grace of re-creation, what did you say..."
She no longer threatened, Tang Minjie turned around and got up: "It's none of your business! What the hell is your wife calling me out for? Just do it. Mother-in-law, can you afford to delay anything?"
The woman nodded, no longer angry at this time, took out a few pieces of paper from the interlayer of her sleeve, Tang Minjie took it, sat on the ground by the fire and looked: "Well, what's the dissatisfaction? , Threats, you can say it now... Oh, your wife is cruel enough, she wants me to kill the whole family? This is all a real official... "
The woman stood in the center of the room and looked down at him, but she had nothing to say at this time. After a while, Tang Minjie read the information, confirmed it, and threw it into the fire next to him, and raised her head: "What is your wife's idea? What? Didn't I tell you?"
"Madam asked me to convey that she can't decide what you told her. It's the only thing she can give you. You can use it as you like... She tried her best."
"… "
Tang Minjie was silent for a moment.
"…Understandable," he said.
Then he added: "Thank you, I admire her very much."
The woman seemed to want to say something, but finally turned to leave, and when she was about to open the door, a voice came from behind.
"In the past ten years, there have been millions of people who have lived a life inferior to pigs and dogs, and millions of women have been prostitutes and dogs here, and you have been here too. Leave when you have the opportunity, no one Blame you, but if you want to stay and learn to fight, don't forget that you were a dog."
The woman's hand held the door bolt and paused: "I know you are heroes... But don't forget, there are still more ordinary people in the world."
"…Yeah, but… it's sadder that way."
This sentence was like a sigh. It came from behind, and the woman pushed the door out. When she turned her head to close the door, she saw the man from the Black Flag Army, code-named "Joker", was curling up by the stove and cooking the fire. At this time, on this man's body I can't see the viciousness and ferocity of just now.
It was snowing heavily outside. During the past period, the situation in Yunzhong Mansion has been unstable due to the five hundred Han prisoners sent from the south. Tortured beyond measure. Because of them, there have been several incidents of prisoner robbery and assassination in Yunzhongfu. In the past ten days, it was rumored that people from the Black Flag poured animal carcasses and even poison into the wells of Yunzhongfu on a large scale. Cases are frequent.
The woman doesn't know how many incidents are really related to the man in the room, but it is certain that the other party must not be out of the way.
In the events of the past year or so, the men in the room have done some things that make both the enemy and the enemy a little scared. After the five hundred prisoners arrived in the cloud, the lady rescued 200 people, but for some reason, the lady fell ill for some time because of the man's cruel words, and after waking up, she asked her to send these materials. That is the information of some officials in charge of the follow-up disposal of Hannu, including their family members, handles, and weaknesses, which have been collected over the years and have been sent out.
She stepped onto the snow-white long street and headed back towards Gushen Mansion. He knew in his heart that the next Yunzhongfu would be another bloody storm.
But the white snow covered the noise, and she let out a sigh of steam. He was taken captive here for many years in the blink of an eye. Gradually, she is getting used to the wind and snow here...
