It's almost the end of October, on the side of the water, at the foot of Longxue Mountain, the pines and cypresses are still as green as ever, and there is a lush scene as far as the eye can see, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, if there are not so many real knives and guns standing around...... Sergeant's words. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"This is Wang's tomb?"

A sturdy Mongolian man was surrounded by a man of great stature, paused in front of the tall stone workshop, and pointed to the front and asked.

"Back to the Prime Minister's words, it is true, I heard from the people in this village that they were all involved in the construction of this tomb, but it was only a few months ago."

"Go find an old man in the village, you just wait outside, you don't have to come with me."

General Zhenguo, Henan and other places in the province of the right Cheng, Huaixi Zhulu to ask for envoys, Peijin Tiger Fu Pagoda waved his hand, and stopped his subordinates from those thousands of households, thousands of households, the general manager, and the consolation envoy outside the door, and brought a few guards with him, and kept walking inside, and his subordinates looked at each other, and they didn't understand that the tomb of a Song person was still newly made, and it didn't even have archaeological value, what was there to see?

The cemetery was enclosed by a white marble carved fence, he did not immediately step forward, but stood in front of a monument, without blinking an eye, looking at the rows above, neat and awkward Han font, raised his forehead with the inscription "Epitaph of the Late Taifu Wang Gongxin". No matter how proficient you are in Chinese, a Mongolian still struggles to read without breaking sentences, but Ta Chu is unaware, almost groping word by word with his hands, until the word 'Jiankang' comes into view.

Of course, there will be no detailed process on this, it is just some general words of praise and virtue, and he did not intend to find out what is going on, and he came here half out of excitement, and half out of curiosity. After reading through those deeds, Ta Chu was just about to straighten up, and he swept a small column, 'Later learn Li Tingzhi's book', and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

"Prime Minister, someone has been found." A pro-soldier and an old man stood behind him, and Ta Chu looked back, the old man stared at his feet with his head down, his hands and body trembling uncontrollably, and he didn't have to think about it to know what kind of expression it would be.

"The old man's surname is Wang?" Ta Chu tried his best to use a slow and calm tone, his northern Chinese was already very standard, but in the ears of the old man, it was a little awkward.

"Back to this Shangguan, the little old man's surname is Zheng, and most of the people in this village have this surname." The old man did not look up, but replied tremblingly.

"Then does the Wang family have descendants to live?"

"Shangguan is talking about Wang Taifu's mansion?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and after receiving a positive answer, he continued: "Taifu's mansion only moved here decades ago, and the population is not large. ”

That is, he can't find a descendant, Ta Chu was slightly disappointed, he didn't want to take revenge, but wanted to make some fuss, since it didn't work, he didn't intend to force it, and sent the doubtful old man away, he glanced at the huge arch tomb, and extinguished the idea of going up to pay tribute, because it was not yet time to celebrate.

"Let this place be guarded, and no one shall enter it at will, let alone destroy a single plant or tree here, and the village below shall be exempted from taxes and servitude for this year, and let them take care of everything as usual."

When the villagers got the news, there were only a few guards left outside the cemetery, not only did they bully them, but they were very kind, how all this happened, no one could guess, but they vaguely felt that it was related to the dead lady and his wife. You must know that there have been very bad rumors in Huoqiu, Anfeng, Shouchun and other counties within the first army, and those who have done these things are the group of people who have just left, and it is not easy to have a way to survive in the chaos, who can care about anything else.

There is no such good luck in Lu'an County, only a few miles away, and it is not a tall city tower, the banner of the Great Song Dynasty is weakly drooping, and occasionally a gust of mountain wind blows, only to show that it has been burned by gunsmoke, the original bright red has faded a lot, and the holes torn by arrows can be seen everywhere, and it seems that the next time it will not be able to hold it down.

On the rubble tower, Chen Wan looked upwards without feeling, not knowing what he was thinking, as if he hadn't come out of the early morning a few days ago. Just a few days ago, he was still a heavy general with 30,000 people in his hands, holding an army and four counties, up to Li Xianggong, the marshal of Jianghuai, and down to Li Zhishuai, the envoy all the way, who didn't give him some face? But now.

Thinking back to the situation that day, it still makes people shudder, the Yuan people seem to have come out of the ground, densely lined up along the other side of the Huaishui, no matter how to defend it, it is flawed everywhere, originally thought that the solid defense line was like paper paste, and even the first wave of impact could not be blocked, in that case, he almost killed himself with a knife, and when he was dragged backwards by his own soldiers, his heart was already gray to the extreme.

Three of the four counties were lost, and the 30,000 army died and escaped, he ran to Lu'an County in one breath, and the remnants of the collected soldiers plus the original defenders here were only 5,000 people, not to mention the lack of people and horses, and the morale fell to the bottom, but this was not the most uncomfortable.

I thought that the Tartars would definitely catch up soon, but where did I think that Shouchun City, which had no guards and no guards, resisted for three days, and Xia Shuai, who had no fighting spirit for a long time, actually gave birth to a good son, with a group of rabble, with the Xia Mansion family as the team, under the siege of 120,000 troops, and held on for three days!

What is the final result? Hundreds of miles away, Chen Wan seemed to be able to hear the ghost howls coming from his own office, and the dreams were full of pictures of his family struggling under the butcher's knife of the Yuan people, which could always make him wake up from the nightmare, and his hands and feet were cold and his whole body trembled.

It's not that he didn't think about running or falling, but since Shouchun City was out of gunsmoke, he found that he had no way to retreat, no matter what he chose, as soon as he saw the expectant eyes of those sergeants who were born and grew up in Si, he couldn't think of anything else, taking advantage of the rare three days, he tried his best to strengthen the city defense, and sent a fast horse to inform Luzhou in the rear, and finally had the appearance of a vassal.

However, it was still too late, and on the fourth day, the front scouts of the Tartars appeared outside the city, looking at them unscrupulously, without taking these remnants into account, and it was no wonder that compared to the tall and sturdy Shouchun City, Lu'an County looked like it couldn't hold out for an hour.

However, five days have passed since the city was besieged, Lu'an County is still standing, there are less than 3,000 guards in the city, and the people who spontaneously joined to supplement their losses, but the consumption of combat power and ordnance has come to an end, and they can only rely on stones and bladeless swords to stop the enemy's next wave of offensive.

"Military Envoy...... Look! Hearing the call of his subordinates, Chen Wan looked over blankly, not in the direction where the reinforcements were coming, but the endless army of Tartars under the city wall!

Is it about to attack the city, Chen Wan used a steel knife and pestle on the ground, stood up with strength, limped to the edge of the city wall, and looked out with the battlements.

They are some women, some women in ragged clothes and dull eyes, each woman is dragged by a tartar, staggering towards the direction of the city tower, Chen Wan felt the tremor of his body the moment he saw them, he thought that the numb body and mind, the blood surged up for a while, and the swollen eyes and face involuntarily bulged, showing the emotions of horror, anger, helplessness and so on.

The one at the head was the one he thought had long since died in Shouchun City...... Wife!

At this moment, Chen Wan was even about to put the word 'surrender' on his lips, but what made him fall into the abyss was that no one shouted to them, and at a distance of more than ten steps, a picture that people couldn't look at directly was staged in front of a group of guards, Chen Wan's heart was broken, and he turned his head with red eyes.

"Where's the arrows, do you have any, get them!" The soldiers shook their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Envoy, let's fight!"

"Envoy, kill it!"

......

Chen Wanyi swept over his subordinates, some people were like him, their relatives were outside, they were humiliated in broad daylight, they were close at hand, no one could bear all this, what difference did it make if they died in the city or outside the city? Chen Wan's hand was raised suddenly, and the steel knife full of gaps was raised above his head, but before he could speak, a piercing scream rang out.

"Husband!" He jerked back.

"Revenge!"

After shouting, the woman who was so delicate that she couldn't even hold the knife bit on the wrist of the Tartar who was wriggling on her, and no matter how the other party pulled and beat her, she didn't let go.

Like his mother, all the abused women rebelled, using their teeth, nails, and even their heads to carry out senseless attacks, and of course, the final result was peace in bursts of blood.

Looking at the mutilated bodies of those poor women, Chen Wan raised the steel knife again with a trembling hand, bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, looked up to the sky and spurted out a mouthful of blood foam, and roared with his eyes naked.

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

......

The city is corresponding.

"Let's get started." Hearing a faint cry from afar, Ta Chu shook his head a little dissatisfied, and continued with an unchanged expression: "After the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left. ”

In the continuous sound of horns, the military array of the Yuan people began to move, and countless black shadows carried long ladders and pushed building carts, like a tide, rushing towards the small city, wave after wave without stopping, until it was completely submerged.

On a hill in the west of the city, a claircase mirror took in all this, and the two spies disguised as ordinary people glanced at each other with gloomy expressions, and both saw depression and unwillingness in each other's eyes, all of which could have been avoided, but unfortunately it still happened.

"It's hopeless, hurry up and notify Luzhou."

The companion nodded, took out the microphone in his arms, and accompanied by a 'didi' prompt sound, transmitted the radio waves to a hundred miles away.

What they don't know is that at this time, Li Fu, the commander of Huaixi, was not in Luzhou City, but took people to Shucheng, which was closer to Lu'an County, and after receiving the distress message sent by An Fengjun, he brought people over, and at this moment it was less than twenty miles away from the county seat.

"I recognize you, in Shouchun City, it was you who told Ben Shuai the news." Li Fu leaned over from the horse and looked at the person, his memory is good, of course, mainly thanks to the obvious characteristics of the other party.

"It's good to remember the commander, the little one is also here to inform the news, the road ahead is no longer feasible, it is better to turn back quickly."

"How?" Li Fu was shocked, and simply stopped the horse and jumped down.

"The county seat of Lu'an has fallen, and the Tartars are slaughtering the city."

Li Fu stared at the other party's eyes in surprise, trying to find a flaw in them, to his disappointment, there was no wave in that look, there was no excitement, indignation or other things, he immediately turned around and ordered.

"The order goes down, and the whole army stops advancing and stands by on the spot."

Don't dare not believe it, and don't dare to believe it all, Li Fu decided to wait for a while, and wait for the scout he sent to return, and the people who came knew what he was thinking and looked at the team indifferently.

The spirit is acceptable, the training is insufficient, this is his intuitive evaluation as a veteran, the whole army is about 10,000 people, scattering a long column on the official road, most of them have obviously not gone through the battle, their eyes are full of excitement and commotion, such soldiers are okay with the wind, once the slightest disadvantage may collapse, even if they can catch up, there is no way to make a rescue.

Fortunately, they didn't wait too long, the two cavalry came on horseback, seeing the panic on their faces, Li Fu's heart sank suddenly, and when they came closer, they opened their mouths with hope and asked, and the scout shook his head.

"Gifted handsome, the front can't pass, the Tartar covers the road, the small ones are looking around, they can't find a gap, they can only look from a distance, the county is afraid that it is no longer guaranteed, because the small ones can't see our flag, but there are faint shouts in the wind, but it doesn't look like a fight."

The eyes of the detective dimmed, the voice became smaller and smaller, Li Fu closed his eyes a little unwillingly, raised his head as if he wanted to feel the breath in the wind, he regretted a little why he didn't be tougher, but unfortunately it was too late.

An Feng'an is the strongest frontier in the entire Huaixi, with an army of 30,000, and the Tartars just broke through from here, they didn't even hold out for ten days, how can he be willing? What to do next, when Li Fu opened his eyes, he had already returned to his former solemnity, the Tartar moved so fast, the next target must be his Luzhou City!

"Order, change the rear team to the front team, and return at full speed."

Just as he was about to get on the horse, he suddenly found that the man who came to provide him with the news seemed to have something to say to him, thinking of the news he brought to him, all of them were convinced, Li Fu turned around, and his face slowed down a little.

"Ben Shuai, whether you are intentional or unintentional, this grace has been recorded, what do you want, you might as well say it bluntly."

"The little one really has something to ask for." The man dressed as a fisherman gave him a standard military salute with his fists folded, and in the latter's astonishment, he said unhurriedly: "Please give the commander the order to quickly make the defenders everywhere shrink and retreat, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties." ”

"You mean?" Li Fu was taken aback, needless to say along the border, Anfeng's army was broken through, Gwangju and Haozhou were too busy to take care of themselves, and there was no room to retreat, but the border of Huaixi was not only on the Huaishui side, his eyes couldn't help but turn to the distance, where were the towering mountains, like a huge barrier blocking the enemy's incursion.

Dabie Mountain!

On the same side of Huaishui, compared with the overwhelming strength of the first army of Tachu, with the help of the navy, in fact, the instigation of the first to break through the Huaishui defense line was lackluster, if it weren't for some progress in the area of the Zhaoxin army, he almost didn't know how to explain to the Great Khan.

Compared with a few days ago, more than a dozen pontoon bridges have been erected on the original smooth Huai Shui, Rao is so, there are still a large number of ships in the distance, the reason is of course very simple, the huge territory of Chuzhou, all the way to the nearby Gaoyou Army, the Zhaoxin Army on the left, the countryside is empty, just like the wilderness.

Not only that, but he was surprised to find that the Huaiyin County seat, which originally stood on the edge of the Huaishui River, only had some traces of the foundation on the original site, and the entire building and the city wall were gone.

"Baoying County is empty, and the city wall has not been demolished, but the entire city has been burned by a fire they lit, and there is not a single complete house nearby, let alone food. Not only that, but after leaving the canal, our people couldn't even find a well, it was the same everywhere, and when the last general's people came back from Yancheng, they almost starved to death, and they survived by relying on weeds. ”

instigated that there was no exaggeration in his son's words, and he could torture a brave and incomparable steppe knight to such a low spirit, what did he see, did he still need to say?

Bypassing Chuzhou and going straight to the Gaoyou army? He didn't dare to make such a decision easily, more than 80,000 people, the daily food supply is an astronomical amount, and now it is only a water away from his own territory, and it already has to rely on more than a dozen pontoon bridges to maintain, if the division is far away, then what can be done to let these sergeants eat a mouthful of food and drink a mouthful of water?

The Song people are so ruthless! There is even a faint admiration in the heart of the instigation, the people moved away, to avoid falling into their own hands to be used as cannon fodder, the food and water sources are blocked, is to make their supply lines elongated and produce flaws, even the houses are not spared, more than 80,000 people have to live in the wilderness every day, for what purpose do you still need to say? He looked at the gloomy sky, his brow furrowed.

Chuzhou City!

Instigated Du suddenly felt that the black shadow was extremely dazzling, didn't he rely on the strong city wall and many defenders, he didn't believe it, the Yangluo Fort, known as the rock, could be captured, and with the 80,000 people in his hands, he couldn't fight only those Song people?

"It's too guarded, the Tartars are out of the camp and lined up."

On the tall tower at the main gate of Chuzhou City, Liu Xingzu made a "um" sound from his nose, to be honest, it has been several days since the Tartars crossed the river, and he has never wanted to attack the city, his heart is still a little untouched, afraid that they have other plans, watching a team of cavalry gallop on his territory, but he doesn't know their plans, he is really afraid that the Tartars will abandon Chuzhou and ignore it, in that case, everything he does will not play a role in containment.

"Drumming, the whole army is on alert, this place is handed over to you, the official goes to take a rest, the city wall is not lost, don't come to quarrel."

"Don't worry, there are subordinates, just rely on them?"

Yu Wenguang, the capital of Chuzhou, took the order excitedly, of course he knew Taishou's intention to do this, now is just the beginning, it is far from a critical moment, as long as the city is united, with the defense of this city, he is really not afraid of the enemy's attack.

The movements of the Tartars were very slow, and the Han soldiers in front of the formation did not move at all, until the tall building cars were pushed out and the huge wooden shelves were built, and a trace of solemnity flashed in Wenguang's eyes, and it was just a trace.

"Zhang Wan, prepare for the enemy, be careful with Lao Tzu, don't let the stone hit, it's a shame to die."

It caused a lot of laughter from everyone.
