Chapter 063: Breaking the House

In February of the first year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty, Hedong Road, Longde Mansion, and Shangdang County.

"The siege of Jinyang is boiling in a suspended kettle; The Battle of Changping, blood flowed". In 260 B.C., during the Warring States Period, Qin and Zhao fought a great war around this place, known as the Battle of Changping. The entire Zhao army was annihilated, and Qin also suffered nearly 200,000 casualties, with more than 600,000 casualties on both sides. The Qin army won a crushing victory, and the state of Zhao collapsed.

In the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Qin (221 B.C.), after Qin unified the six countries, the county system was implemented, and the world was divided into 36 counties, and Shangdang County was one of them. In the third year of Chongning of the Great Song Dynasty (1104 AD), the Song court was changed to Longde Mansion.

After a thousand years, as the Jin people went south, this ancient battlefield land that was once full of corpses fell into the flames of war again.

The commander of Jinxi Road, Yan Zonghan, was like a bamboo all the way. With the help of the Han'er of Kyushu behind the mountain, charging into battle, the city of the Song people did not seem to be so difficult to capture.

On the wall of Longde Mansion, Tan Xiong's face turned red, and the barrel of the gun in his hand became slippery because of tension. He boasted of his strong martial arts and bravery, but at this moment, he was as nervous as the other villagers on the city wall.

The only two battalions of imperial forbidden troops in the city have fled, and the 2,000 people who resisted in the city are all local village soldiers in Lund Province. The forbidden army can escape, where can they, the children of Hedong who were born and raised in Hedong and whose wives and children are all in the land, go, can they really throw their wives and children to the Jurchens?

In the face of the densely packed, the mountains roared and the tsunami swarmed, and the village soldiers on the city wall were all pale and frightened, and some of them even felt difficult to breathe.

"Zhang Gong, Xinzhou and Daizhou have surrendered, Pingyang Yisheng has rebelled, Jin has tens of thousands of people, and he has the help of Hedong Han'er, it is better to evacuate from Dongcheng and avoid the edge for the time being!"

On the city wall, the persuasion of the generals and staff was furious by the prefect Zhang Qu.

"I, Zhang Cheng, am the minister of defending the land, and I should repay the country with death, my head can be broken, and my waist cannot be bent. If anyone says anything more and flees, military law will deal with it!"

Zhao Bozhen also said angrily: "Gong Zhang, today I, Zhao, will die with you!" However, before you die, how can you pull a few thieves on your back!"

Silu Zhang Yanshu also stood up and said: "The two prime ministers, killing thieves to serve the country, are also counted as officials!"

Tens of thousands of elite Jin people against one or two thousand Song Township soldiers, a battle that was not very fierce, ended in less than half an hour.

Zhang Qu's whole body was blurred with flesh and blood, and half of his body was already stained red with blood. He was lying in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and he had already lost his life.

On the ground next to him, Zhang Yanshu and Zhao Bozhen were both shot with several arrows in their chests, and they were shot into hedgehogs and died on the spot.

The bodies of the three were mixed with the village soldiers, and they were thrown down to the city one by one by the Han infantry of the Jin people, scolding and scolding.

Although the battle on the city wall is over, the calamity of the people in the city has just begun.

The sound of horses' hooves, laughter, screams, cries, insults, all kinds of voices are intertwined, one after another. The streets were full of panicked and fleeing people, and golden soldiers with guns and knives chasing after them could be seen everywhere.

The fire shone brightly, and the pillar of smoke rose into the sky, which was the Jin people who set fire to the government warehouse, and some temples that looked magnificent were not spared.

It's just that if the golden people are everywhere, the walls are ruined, and all the buildings that are touched by the "good-looking" and "elegant" are all broken. As long as the people of the Song Dynasty resisted, they slaughtered and burned the city at every turn, and the babies did not let go, and their tyranny and killing can be seen!

"Run away, Fanzi has attacked!"

Tan Xiong quickly left the city, he took off his clothes as he ran, grabbed the spear in his hand, and ran all the way to his home in the east of the city.

"Dad, mother, big brother, open the door!"

The door was opened and then tightly shut.

Tan Ying dragged one leg out of the house, and was just as she saw her mother open the door and let her younger brother in. The father stood by with a wrinkled face full of worry.

"Xiong'er, what's going on outside, Fanzi came in?"

The elderly mother was pale. Seeing Mi'er coming in from outside, his face was full of panic, and his heart sank suddenly.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, don't ask, the thieves have already entered the city. Hurry up and come with me, or it'll be too late!"

Tan Xiong urged impatiently, his face was full of anxiety, and beads of sweat kept falling to the ground.

The youngest son in the family has been pampered since he was a child. The eldest brother is nearly ten years older than him, and he has difficulty moving, so he is allowed to do so on weekdays, which also makes him suffer little and be unruly.

When the Jin people entered the city and wantonly killed, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he panicked all of a sudden.

"Then I'll clean up, and we'll leave right away!"

The mother's face turned pale, and she was about to walk into the room.

"Pack it up! Go now, don't delay!"

The father sank his face and walked out. The brothers Tan Xiong and Tan Ying supported their mother and followed closely behind.

The father walked to the door, opened the door, went out to look at it, suddenly reflexively pushed his wife and children behind him into the house, and then closed the door tightly.

"I can't go, the thief has already been killed!"

My father's face was extremely pale, and his brows condensed into a big "Sichuan" character.

"Boss, how can this be done? Xiong'er hasn't gotten married yet, and Ying'er hasn't married Liuniang yet. These soldiers are inhumane!"

The mother panicked and involuntarily cried out.

Poor people, just slap the big yard, just want to hide, there is no place. The cries of the people outside and the laughter of Jin Bing became louder and closer, and the mother couldn't help but panic.

"Ying'er, Xiong'er, you two smear your face and hands, hurry up!"

Father's eyes turned to a large pile of charcoal against the wall in the courtyard, which was originally sold to Bianliang City, but the Jin people came quickly, and the post road was cut off, so he nested at home.

Tan Xiong hurriedly smeared his hands and face with charcoal ink, raised his head, and looked at the family in front of him in panic.

"Ying'er, why don't you smear your face and hands, the soldiers are about to arrive!"

The father roared in a low voice, and the veins on his face were exposed.

"Dad, it's just such a pile of coal, Ah Xiong and I are two big guys, I can't cover it!"

Tan Ying's face was full of determination.

"Besides, once Jin Bing comes in, if he finds that there is no man, he will definitely be suspicious. With children with his parents, Ah Xiong can hide more steadily!"

Tan Xiong's tears fell suddenly, and he said loudly: "Dad, mother, big brother, I don't want to hide, I want to be with you!"

"Slap", Tan Xiong's face has been slapped hard.

"Do you want our Tan clan to cut off their children and grandchildren?"

The father's face turned red and he scolded viciously. Three or two strokes have already pushed Tan Xiong to the wall.

"Hurry up! Face the wall and try to show your mouth and nose as much as possible!"

The father pressed his son, and he and Tan Ying picked up the shovel and began to cover Tan Xiong with charcoal.

"Xiong'er, hide your body, what do you do in the future, be careful!"

Mother's eyes are full of reluctance.

Tan Xiong still wanted to move, but Tan Ying stood next to him and said softly: "Ah Xiong, your sister-in-law Liuniang, please take care of you!"

"If you move again, I will die here, you are not the descendant of my Tie family, and I will not forgive you when you reach the Lord of Hades!"

Father's words completely extinguished the last impulse in Tan Xiong's heart, and tears flowed down his cheeks and silently.

As soon as Tan Ying and her father covered their younger brother with charcoal, there was a knock on the door. Before my father stepped forward to open the door, the two thin door panels fell to the ground with a bang, and the golden soldiers who were hungry like wolves and tigers, all on foot and horse, poured in like a tide.

"Why do you trespass on people's ......?"

Before Father Tan finished speaking, the Jin soldiers led by him had already raised the long knife in his hand and slashed downward.

The sun shone on the armor of the golden soldier, and the cold light shone. The long knife flew up, and in an instant, it was a bloody dance, dripping with blood.

Father Tan was caught off guard, and was slashed on the shoulder by Jin Bing, half of his arm fell to the ground, blood spurted out like a spring, and half of his body was instantly dyed red.

Jin Bing laughed. Before Father Tan could react, his head was hit by Jin Bing again, and half of Father Tan's head was knocked down.

The Jin soldiers, who followed up, kicked Father Tan to the ground like a sack. Father Tan fell in a pool of blood, his eyes were wide open, and half of his face was blurred with flesh and blood.

"Master!"

Tan's mother broke her liver and intestines, and ran forward like crazy, but was pierced by a riding spear in Jin Bing's hand.

The knight's arms flicked, and Tan's mother's body flew out, hit the wall, and fell, covering the top of the charcoal pile.

Tan Xiong looked through the gap in the charcoal pile, his mother's painful face facing him, and blood gushed out from his mouth.

The mother's eyes showed pain, and she murmured, "Okay...... Good job...... ......"

The view was blocked by his mother's corpse, and Tan Xiong could not see the situation outside. I only heard the roar and a few shouts from the eldest brother in the courtyard, and then everything returned to calm.

"Go in and search, don't leave anything alive, take away the silver taels, food and everything!"

In the courtyard, there were Jin people giving orders, apparently officers of Jin Bing, and they were Han Chinese.

"General Li, I only found 10 yuan and 10 liters of grain, and nothing else!"

After tossing for a moment, the golden soldiers swept away and roared away, and peace was restored in the wish.

Tan Xiong lay motionless in the charcoal pile. The cries and shouts from the streets and alleys outside are still heard. The sound of horses' hooves of the Jin people kept ringing, and the Chinese dialect and some unintelligible foreign voices came and went.

Tan Xiong knew that it must be the Jurchen words.

He lay in the cold coal, his whole body numb, and he was still motionless. By this time, the anger of revenge had replaced the cold of the limbs. He must leave a useful body to avenge the death of his family.

There was darkness all around, but the fire in the city was still not extinguished. It wasn't until midnight, when the whole city was completely silent, that Tan Xiong moved his numb body and got out of the coal pile.

He touched the darkness and carefully removed his mother's stiff body, and tears flowed down again.

The bodies of the eldest brother and father were all bloody and fleshy, and Tan Xiong struggled to pile the bodies of a family of three together, then stood up and groped his way to the house in the dark.
