In a state of panic, he kept running, and from a distant place came fear, but for some reason, in such a run, he wanted to close his eyes and avoid what was happening.

“…… It's ...... killing."

“…… Walk around ......."

In the noisy and chaotic environment, with more and more voices and figures around him, he buried his head and gradually ran to the edge of the river. The bumpy tide lay in front, the fear behind chased after him, and there he stood, and someone pushed him forward.

As the small fishing boat sailed off the shore, he stood on top of it and heard the sound of people behind him, and the huge waves below him.

Don't look behind you – he told himself in his mind, but the man in the picture finally turned around. In the thick mist, the Jurchens came to kill, and the crowd on the shore ran, cried, and was chased and forced into the river, and then sank, and blood poured into the river.

Zhou Junwu knelt on the boat.

A great shame filled everything.

- He sat up from his dream.

……

There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the dark tent, and the space was warm, but there were some traces of dampness and coldness. When he sat up, cold sweat was on his forehead.

After a while, he got out of bed and lit the oil lamp with a fire breaker, which reflected a well-defined face, thin and resolute, and a beard growing under his chin that increased his age at first glance and made it appear more stable. When the lights were lit, the sound of a servant came from outside the tent, and he asked someone to bring hot water.

It was still dawn, and outside the tent was the long barracks, and after washing his face, he straightened his clothes in the mirror to make himself look more energetic. When he walked out of the tent, a soldier saluted him, and he also returned the courtesy—something that had never happened in the previous Wu Dynasty.

Wu Jianshuo was ten years old, and the crown prince Zhou Junwu was twenty-seven years old, and for the people around him, he had grown into a steady and reliable adult.

He was resolute and dignified to the officials of the Wu Dynasty, he was humble and courteous to his technicians and civilians, he lived in the barracks, he got up earlier than ordinary soldiers every day, and he even applied the same etiquette to every soldier who saluted him—something he had never learned from the Black Flag Army, and if there was a literati to advise or reprimand, he would humbly apologize and go his own way. In any case, the vast majority of the military and civilians regard him as the future master of Zhongxing.

Intense and strict self-discipline made him thin and more resolute. Especially in the spring of the tenth year of Jianshuo, in the eyes of the young people who were once pampered, there was also a faint sense of resoluteness.

The cold spring of February has turned a little, and the breath of war has already been transmitted. At this time, the ice and snow have not completely disappeared, and the changes in Jindi have sounded the first alarm bell after the beginning of the year: the battlefield is your life-and-death Shura field, and no one will wait until the real spring flowers bloom to start moving.

Walking through the tents in the barracks, and walking not far away, Jun Wu saw Yue Fei walking over, and after saluting, the other party handed over the waiting information.

"Linzhou, Shulie quickly fought against the Black Flag Army, and the fight started......"

"Jiang is still old and spicy, Zong Han and Xi Yin's methods are really ruthless." Jun Wu turned out the information, muttered in a low voice, and when the Jin Dynasty's resistance to Jin was at its highest, he killed Tian Shi, the king of Jin, and ruthlessly dispersed the only promising resistance force in the Central Plains. As an enemy, in the face of Xi Yin's attack, anyone will feel chills down their spines.

“…… In addition, Xuzhou has changed. ”

In the midst of Yue Fei's words, Jun Wu raised his head and looked to the north, and in the darkness, there was the faint sound of icebergs disintegrating and the earth stunning......

***************

Wasion, Tianji Palace.

The massacre that Yuan Xiaoqiu waited for on the fourth day of the second lunar month never appeared.

After that cold negotiation, the two parties went back to their respective homes, and Yuan Xiaoqiu, who originally thought that she would give everyone a good look, Lou Shuwan's eyes were always cold, but she didn't make too many movements.

After this day, the power struggle has spread 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 distributed their respective areas and interests in the Tianji Palace. By the fifth day of the second lunar month, Lou Shuwan successively met with local snakes, including Lin Zongwu, to make as much as possible the materials, armaments, troops, and generals in various cities in Jindi.

When she met Lin Zongwu privately that morning, Lou Shuwan openly and honestly discussed with him the ownership and division of the power of the rudder of the Great Bright Sect, and the two sides of the "Descended Lady" and the "Bright Sect Master" divided their forces in the form of not dragging their feet as much as possible, and Lou Shuwan also made many concessions in this regard.

At this time, small-scale battles had begun to appear in Wasion City, but due to the restraint of all parties, there had not yet been large-scale fights at this time.

With the death of the King of Jin and the coercion of the Jurchen army, the defection of the forces of various families has become a fact. However, due to the special situation on the territory of the Jin king, the coup d'état did not appear immediately.

Based on the confession at the negotiation meeting and the tacit understanding formed as a last resort, every household is now constantly pulling forces to take sides. During this period, the army, armaments, and stored materials in various places became the primary targets of various forces to win over and occupy. While Lou Shuwan was negotiating with everyone, Yu Yulin had already begun to try to stabilize several important locations in the southwest of Jindi.

As for the several forces that still chose to resist Jin, Lou Shuwan chose to hand over her family funds and even let the people who were still on her side help to help them occupy the city and passes, and divide the warehouses in important places. Even if large and small divisive and wavering forces are formed, it is better than these ungraspable places that immediately become the pockets of the Jurchens.

Politics, when you lose an absolute control, naturally becomes a game of getting heads.

At the negotiation meeting, although the old man named Liao Yiren said that he might give up five cities or ten cities, it sounded ridiculous, but in fact, it was slowly appearing in this form. All parties on the opposite side understand that in such a situation where you have me, I have you, if all parties first control the territory they can control, there will still be a glimmer of vitality in a few days, but if they turn their faces directly now, the land of Jin will immediately be beaten into a sea of fire, and the Jurchens will push down to the south on a ruin.

When the time comes, no one will have a way to live.

And 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 month, the siege of the city has begun.

……

The roar of "bang" resounded on the city wall, and the stones and blood all over the ground shook with it. On the morning of the eighth day of the second lunar month, the second day of the rapid siege of the city, the battle situation in Linzhou tended to be white-hot.

At noon on the sixth day of the second month, the Jurchen army arrived in Linzhou, and on the seventh day of the second month, the siege of the city on three sides was completed, and the attack was launched on the same day. For a siege battle, such a development seemed extremely hasty, but Shurisu still chose such a direct attack.

In the east, west, and north directions of Linzhou City, the entire battle line was attacked almost simultaneously, and the siege was only bows, arrows, ladders and other objects. However, under the large-scale feint attack, Shulie quickly chose two points as a breakthrough, relying on the strength of the Jurchen elite, the extremely fierce stormtroopers cleverly concealed in the attack of the Han army, and chose the area on the city wall that was obviously not guarded by the Black Flag Army to carry out an assault, which caused a huge threat to the city wall of Linzhou on the afternoon of the seventh day of the first month.

This is like a slapstick attack, which can be regarded as the first test of the Huaxia army in front of him, and finally failed to break the city. On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, more than 30 catapults were assembled by the Jurchen side overnight, and the positions were launched, together with more than 80 ladders, to storm the western city wall of Linzhou.

Coupled with the 23,000 people under the command of Linzhou defender Xu Chun, the total number of garrisons in Linzhou at this time was more than 30,000. Although the Jurchens set up a formation that was missing one of the three, it was impossible for the entire city to relax. In the sudden onslaught of the Jurchens, the pressure on the west side of the city instantly reached its limit.

The soldiers of the Huaxia Army stationed here began to move closer to this side, and the cannons on the city wall roared and arrows rained down. The Jurchen soldiers were like swarms of bees in their field of vision, pushing sandbags, mud bags, and carrying ladders, filling in the moat in a blink of an eye, and putting the ladders up the city wall about two feet high.

The city wall of Linzhou is not high, more than 80 cloud ladders, in the blink of an eye, filled every part of the city in the field of vision, the Jurchen soldiers who are not afraid of death rush up, but on the city wall, there are still Huaxia soldiers like an iron wall of defense. Even the most brave Jurchen soldiers could not break through the tacit cooperation of the Huaxia Army soldiers alone for a while. This turned the western section of the city wall into a meat grinder in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious siege and fighting lasted about half an hour to reach its peak, just when the defensive force on the city wall was also saturated, and on the northern battlefield, a Jurchen team of 1,000 people launched a surprise attack, choosing the weak point of the manpower to defend the western siege point. At the same time, two miles to the north, the Han army launched a strong attack on the city wall.

This kind of siege tactics is never surprising, although the defenders occupy an advantageous area, but as a defender, it is like a taut rubber band, the siege army only needs to choose a few places to repeatedly apply pressure, and the surrounding forces will be attracted to the past, which will inevitably become a weak point, so that the besieging side can storm the city.

Of course, this kind of tactic is only suitable for armies with extremely high combat power levels, such as the descendants of generals like Shulie Speed in the Jurchen army, especially the elite of the elite. In the face of ordinary Wu Dynasty teams, they can often quickly enter the city, even if it is not broken for a while, the other party wants to recapture the city wall, and often has to pay several times the price.

On the city wall, Niu Baoting, the commander of Xu Chunyi's army, saw the Jurchens spreading, his hands and feet were a little cold, he was an old man who had eaten the army for many years, and he was already a soldier in the army. The army of the King of Jin is uneven, Niu Baoting is just a military commander who has risen in the past, he has eyesight but also knows the danger, and when he sees that the city wall on his side has become a place for the opponent to attack, he knows that there is more luck and less luck. And around here, there are many fewer soldiers of the Huaxia Army.

Leading a few of his subordinates, Niu Baoting shot a few arrows under the city wall, and in a blink of an eye, the ladders had been built one by one, and the Jurchen soldiers raised their shields and swords, and rushed up fiercely. The battlefield is the best touchstone, just look at the calm way they step on the ladder, you know that they are all elites who have killed countless people on the battle array - this kind of momentum veteran oil is impossible to do.

Cannons roared from the nearby city walls, and stones were thrown down, but it wasn't long before Jurchen soldiers still landed in the city. Niu Baoting and his brothers killed one, and the other soldier who came up held for a while, and waited for a Jurchen soldier to enter the city. The two fierce Jurchens forced Niu Baoting and the other five to retreat constantly, and one brother was hacked to death in a pool of blood, and Niu Baoting was almost stabbed on the head. He was frightened in his heart, and retreated again and again, and saw that the Jurchens over there were full of momentum and killed them.

It's going to die, it's going to die, it's going to die—

The veteran Youzi thought in his heart, on the one hand, the Jurchens in front of him were fierce, and on the other hand, once the Jurchens broke the city, everyone in the city would also die. In the midst of the chaos, one of his soldiers was struck in the shoulder and ran to the other side of the city wall in fright.

Niu Baoting and others were also panicked and dodged, in a short time, there were Jurchens from different directions to the city one after another, fighting in the field of vision, such as Niu Baoting and other soldiers under the command of Xu Chunyi began to become panicked and defeated, but there were only a dozen Huaxia soldiers formed two formations, and the Jurchen soldiers who landed in the city started to fight, and did not retreat for a long time.

After a while, there were soldiers from both sides of the Chinese army. Niu Baoting and the others had not time to run out of the chaos, two Jurchen killers came over, he and two of his subordinates struggled to resist, and then there were four Huaxia Army soldiers or armed with shields or knives and guns, rushed past him, and stabbed the two Jurchen soldiers to death under the spear, the gun bearer was obviously an officer in the Huaxia Army, and patted Niu Baoting on the shoulder: "Okay, follow me to kill these golden dogs." Niu Baoting and the others subconsciously followed.

The head of the city, which had just been opened by the Jurchens, was taken back by the Huaxia soldiers in a blink of an eye, and the officers of the Huaxia Army who rushed to the front commanded everyone to throw the Jurchen corpses at the head of the city onto the ladder. The crisis was slightly solved, Niu Baoting saw a Huaxia Army soldier sitting among the corpses all over the ground, bandaging the wounds on his body, and laughed to himself: "Haha, happy, Shulie Su Lao Tzu grass your mother-"

A few days ago, at the Huaxia Army Organization Conference, although Niu Baoting was also touched, he still only felt fear in the face of the real Jurchen elite. However, at this time, he suddenly realized that the current army, this black flag, was the only Han army in the world that could fight the Jurchens head-on and was not inferior. The battle in front of us is a clash between two of the world's top armies.

I'm going to die......

There was not much impassioned in the heart of the veteran oil. After realizing this, he has also clearly realized that the current battle will inevitably be fierce to an incomparably fierce level, and his people are caught between these two armies, even if they don't die now, next, I'm afraid they will die......

On the fierce battlefield, between life and death, there will be all kinds of fierce thoughts condensed. In the position in the northwest of Linzhou City, the telescope that Shuli was holding down was put down, sighing at the futility of a thousand-man team. But on the other hand, this is also something that he has expected for a long time.

After all, it was not the first time that he had fought with the Black Flag Army.

A few years ago, in the Battle of Xiaocanghe, he led a large army, and after besieging Xiaocanghe for nearly half a year, he finally broke through the city wall, so that the defending army in Xiaocanghe had to break through the embankment. He already knew the calmness and tenacity of the elite of the Chinese Army when defending. The onslaught from yesterday to today's was only one thing for him.

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 back then.

His gaze was calm, and the blood in his heart was burning.

As a famous Jurchen general who followed Ah Gu to start an incident, the forty-nine-year-old Shuliesu can now perceive the corruption of the new Jurchen generation over the years, the young soldiers are no longer as brave as they used to be, and the officials and generals are becoming weak and incompetent. The invincible momentum of the Agu Incident and the heroic spirit of Wu Qimai when he was fighting the army 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. To a certain extent, it dissipated the thinking of many Jurchen generals and retained the sharpness of many Jurchen generals and troops. It is also for this reason that when facing this black flag team again, Shurisu was not discouraged by the momentary setback, and this defeat made him high-spirited.

At other times, facing the Black Flag army, he would have to make more preparations before attacking. But the situation is different now.

The snow melts and the ice disappears, and the god of grains has begun to take action against Jindi, killing Tian Shi, dividing Jindi, and breaking the black flag, this series of plans will be eliminated, once successful, the obstacles of the entire Jin land, known as a million army, will collapse, and 30,000 Jurchen elites will fight against 10,000 black flag troops, even if they pay some price, he must quickly determine this most fierce and critical battle.

On the other hand, Lord Ceres's calculations are like a net of heaven and earth, and the backhand he prepares is by no means just about killing a Tian Shi. If he can't take Linzhou City under such circumstances, he will face the black flag every day, and there is really no need for him to fight.

Thinking of this, Shulie quickly narrowed his eyes, and after a while, 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 first month of February, the offensive under the city of Linzhou was like a tide, and the siege of the city under the command of Shu Liesu almost gained a firm foothold in the city several times, but then they were driven down by the fierce attack of the Huaxia army. There was a river of blood up and down the city, and there were many injuries on both sides.

However, the intensity of the attack is still increasing. As if to defeat the Huaxia Army with one blow, and also to break the hearts of the entire Jin people, Shu Liesu 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 have been killed.

In the evening, when the setting sun shone a warm yellow light from the side of the sky, Hu Yanzhuo stood in a corner of the city, watching the besieging army below briefly retreat. There were still traces of snow on the ground in the distance, and there was gunsmoke and blood in the distance.

This corner of the city was just ignited by a rocket that ignited a few shells, and the Linzhou defenders who were originally under the command of Xu Chunyi were in chaos, Hu Yanzhuo led the team to press the formation, and killed a group of Jurchens. The Chinese soldiers first took care of the seriously wounded, and some of the lightly injured or tired hid in a safe place behind the women's wall, adjusted their breathing, and took a quick rest, with a bloody and excited look in their eyes.

"Back then, Xiaocanghe was much more lively than here......"

The voice of a nearby veteran came from his ears, and he gasped with a show-off tone, which was actually cheering for the people around him. At both ends of the city wall, where the black flags are fluttering, you can see the figures of the Chinese army.

Hu Yanzhuo knows many of these figures, the soldiers who participated in the battle of Xiaocanghe and survived often have traits that cannot be ignored, they are either nervous or serious or indifferent on weekdays, but on the battlefield these people are more like stones, not noticeable in the fight, but often can make the most appropriate response at the most appropriate time.

Most of these people who can lead the army have become officers in the Huaxia Army, and those who are a little withdrawn can also lead several people to form a small circle on the battlefield. At this time, they were scattered all over the city wall, and after the fierce fighting, many people probably recalled the fierce battle of Xiaocanghe.

In the fields outside the city, the Jurchen battle flags stretched, symbolizing the most ferocious army in the world. And when his eyes swept over these figures on the city wall, Hu Yanzhuo's eyes also seemed to see an unfallen city wall. Back then, in Liangshan, Song Jiang gathered many heroes in the world and tried to get rid of the position of one hundred and eight great heroes, but today, they may not be able to withstand the blow of this army.

After a day's siege, the Jurchen soldiers were retreating on all fronts for the first time, pausing the fatigue offensive. Most of the people looking down at the head of the city were puzzled, and on Hu Yanzhuo's side, Li Nian, a staff officer of the Black Flag Army, came over and whispered something to him.

"The news has just come over, Wang Juyun's Ming Wang Army has been close to twenty miles, the road is not easy to walk in the dark, and it will arrive tomorrow at the latest...... Shuliesu would not have been ignorant of these things, and after a day of fatigue and sudden withdrawal of troops, he would not have wanted to rest. “

Hu Yanzhuo nodded, and summoned the officers beside him: "Let everyone cheer up, the speed of the operation is not so lazy, and the attack will continue at any time." Then he picked up the binoculars and looked at the opposite position, where the people and horses were running in the dark camp, and it was very lively.

Then, something was slowly rising from the back of the Jurchen camp.

"I ...... Exercise! Hu Yanzhuo scolded. The voices of the people in the city buzzed.

It was an inflating hot air balloon.

Since the Huaxia Army mastered the technology of hot air balloons, it is recently said that the Wu Dynasty has also developed a finished product, and the Jurchens are presided over by Wanyan Xiyin to study Gewu, and it is not surprising that they will master the technology, but it is only taken out on the battlefield, which is the first time.

But it is enough to prove that Zong Han, Xi Yin and others attach importance to this battle and are bound to win.

The atmosphere at the head of the city suddenly became solemn, and the figures ran around, bringing fireworks for air defense, and not long after, the direction of the Jurchen military camp once again opened the offensive formation.

*************

The night had already begun to take over, the bonfires stretched into a sea of light, the siege formation was being prepared, and in the darkness behind the vision, three huge balloons slowly inflated into the air. In the camp where people were boiling and neighing, Shen Wenjin, the general of Toucheng, ran all the way through the army in array, and finally arrived in front of the handsome banner of Shuliesu.

The Jurchens are powerful, and Shen Wenjin is a general of the Han army under the command of Toucheng Zonghan at the end of last year, and the soldiers under his command are well-equipped, with more than 10,000 people. This army in the face of the Jurchens when the courage was broken, a battle and defeated, after surrendering, in order to show its loyalty, seeking a wealth and nobility, but quite effective, today's day, Shen Wenjin led the army under his command twice to the city, a hard battle did not retreat, caused a lot of casualties to the Huaxia army at the head of the city, the performance is extremely eye-catching.

Shuresu summoned him at this time, praised him in front of everyone, and then asked him to stand by and listen to the deliberations and the arrangements for the attack. Shen Wenjin was naturally quite happy on the surface, but it was strange in his heart, in such a tense siege situation, Shulie was about to arrange an attack, and the order was to summon himself, and he didn't know what he had in mind, but he saw that the siege could not be completed today, so he wanted to call himself over and stimulate the rest of the Jurchen generals.

He has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he knows the truth of self-preservation with wisdom, but at this time he is afraid of becoming the first bird among a group of generals, and his heart is up and down. However, the upper column of the spell stopped quickly, and for a while he did not regard him as a sacrifice to stimulate the rest of the generals. After a while, most of the offensive plans were suspended, all the armies had already sent orders to prepare, and the speed of the attack had not let Shen Wenjin go.

Soon, the attack after dark began, with the sound of the Jurchen military trumpet, the trebuchet threw stones soaked in fire oil and ignited, and a huge fireball roared towards the head of the city of Linzhou, and then the rockets were like flying locusts, and the attacking team carried the ladder to break through......

"General Shen, you come with me."

I don't know when, Shu Lie Su came over and spoke, and Shen Wenjin hurriedly agreed to follow. The guards in the rear also followed.

Shulie Su took Shen Wenjin and walked horizontally along the siege army formation, the sound in the night seemed noisy, the siege scene on the side of the field of vision was like a boiling drama, and after walking not far away, Shulie quickly opened his mouth: "General Shen, do you say you can take Linzhou tonight?" ”

"With the elite under the command of the general and the intensity of the siege, the general thinks that the city will definitely fall tonight."

Shu Lie quickly turned his head to look at him, and his eyes were not good: "General Shen, you are a leading general, and I use you because you are good at fighting and know how to strategize." In this situation, what is going to be your vision and strategy, and you don't have to be a sycophant. ”

"Uh......" Shen Wenjin was stunned, "Then, the last general will tell the truth?" ”

"Say."

"If you can capture it, you have already conquered it. Now it continues, but it is just a wheel war, and the Black Flag Army in the city is consumed to the limit. Judging from the observation of the last general in the day, the combat strength of this Black Flag Army is afraid that it will not lose to us, and if it really wants to fight like this until the city is broken, I am afraid that it will not be able to make contributions in three or five days. And...... I'm afraid we're also seriously damaged......"

After hearing him say this, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he was smiling: "Then you say, why do I want to fight like this?" ”

"Just because ...... This battle is related to the entire Jindi situation, and once the black flag is defeated, there is no one in the entire Jindi who can be my big gold striker. In addition, I heard that negotiations were going on in the south, and this morning was decided to be at this time, and many people in the area watched it...... Select Sides. ”

This was said very bluntly, but something should not be said by him as a Han person, after the exit, Shen Wenjin became a little overwhelmed, and it was only after this that a smile was really seen on Shu Liesu's face, and he looked at Shen Wenjin quietly for a moment.

"Yes, General Shen also saw it, I must win, and I must win quickly, what else can I do?"

Shen Wenjin hesitated for a moment: "...... Be...... Oh, yes. ”

After listening to Shen Wenjin's answer, Shu Lie quickly walked forward with satisfaction. Shen Wenjin thought for a while, and then said: "Moreover, according to the general, the wind direction is not right now, and these three ...... The balloon can't fly on the city wall, although it can also put some pressure on the city head when it rises, but it is inevitably used too early at this time. 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 my army south, Lord Ceres gave me a bag to open when I arrived at the battlefield, and there was a plan to break the city in the bag. This strategy must be helped by someone before it can be accomplished, General Shen, today to attack the city, I see that you are fighting bravely, and the soldiers under your command are using their lives, so I want to ask you to help me carry out this strategy. Shulie quickly turned around, "How about it, General Shen, are you willing to take this city-breaking work?" ”

Shen Wenjin was slightly stunned, and then pushed Jin Shan to kneel on the ground: "But with the general's order, the last general will be respected!" ”

"Okay." Shu Liesu's eyes looked at the fierce battle of Linzhou City, the firelight jumped on his face, and then he helped Shen Wenjin up, "I will explain the details of this strategy to you, whether you can break the city quickly depends on General Shen's ......"

……

In the middle of the night, the cold wind howled in the snowy mountains in the northeast of Linzhou, and the procession stretched forward among the rugged mountains.

In early February, the air began to warm from the cold, so that the snow was no longer as stable as in winter, and the people walking in the snow stepped into the snow one by one and pulled it out, and the snow was slightly melted by the heat and frozen by the cold of the night, so that the march in the middle of the night did not have the slightest temperature.

Further on, the team crossed a narrow cliff wall, and in the cold wind of whimpering, the soldiers pulled simple ropes one by one over the cliff path that only one person could pass through, and on one side of their bodies was a bottomless deep stream.

Zhu Biao and the scouts who led the way walked at the forefront, exploring the road while fixing the rope to the steep mountain wall - such a deep stream, even with Zhu Biao's skill of approaching the level of a grandmaster, if he stepped on the air and fell, there might be no bones left.

However, this mountain wall, which even Orion would not dare to walk on in normal times, is the only way to approach Linzhou silently.

A few days ago, as the camp moved south, the staff of the Huaxia Army, which had received the news, reacted quickly. After the assassination of Tian Shi, the Jin land was infighting, and the head-on defeat of the Huaxia army was obviously a key step in the series of actions of Wanyan Xiyin. At this time, with the death of Tian Shi, the morale of Jindi fell to the lowest point, and his Huaxia army, which was only 10,000 people, could not be defeated, but he could not easily avoid the battle.

But on the other hand, the Huaxia army with 10,000 people is defending Linzhou, hoping to boost the morale of the entire Jindi? Obviously a stupid choice. After receiving Wang Juyun's response, Guan Sheng divided the 11,000 Huaxia Army into two divisions, one with more than 8,000 people entered Linzhou, relying on the advantages of the city defense, and fought against Shuliesu, and the other team of more than 3,000 people was divided into the northeast direction, waiting for Zhu Biao's arrival.

Such a choice is mainly to prevent Linzhou from becoming a place to die. On the other hand, considering the strategic needs of the Jurchens, the Shulie Rapid Attack on Linzhou will definitely seek a quick victory, and the numerical advantage of 30,000 to 10,000 is certainly considerable, but it is likely that there are other back-ups. Therefore, as soon as this battle starts, it is bound to turn into 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 of the spell, 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 the rear, Zhu Biao looked back, only to see that in the mountain road, several figures suddenly messed up, and three figures fell towards the mountain stream, one of them was grabbed by the soldiers in front of him, and the other two disappeared in a blink of an eye.

There was no sound from the mountain paths, because before the departure, the army was strictly ordered not to make a sound. In this way, the long line of 3,000 men passed through this cliff one after another and cautiously, during which several people fell into the deep stream and left this world forever.

Some wept, but the procession spread silently, until everyone had passed through the cliff, and some looked back, and the mountain in the darkness was quiet, leaving no trace of it, and soon the cliff was quickly left behind.

The road ahead is dark and cold, and the road to Linzhou is still far away......

……

After midnight, the siege of Linzhou stopped again, and the fierce battle seemed to be possible to cut through the city wall at every moment, but in the end, this intention was still not realized.

The Jurchens withdrew their troops, but still maintained a posture that seemed to be ready to launch an onslaught at any moment. At the rear of the camp west of the battlefield, Shen Wenjin called his henchmen in the camp tent, and he didn't say anything about what he wanted to do, but just left these people behind.

The best time has yet to come, and it remains to wait.

……

The hour of the child is followed by the ugly hour, the ugly hour is coming to the end, the city wall has been calmed down, the defending soldiers have changed shifts, and the night is gradually reaching the deepest part.

Ten miles away, the reinforcements led by Wang Juyun camped in the snowy night, waiting for the dawn to enter the battlefield, once there were reinforcements, the situation in Linzhou would be slightly eased, of course, the pressure on the speed of the operation would be greater, and the time would be more urgent for him, perhaps because of this reason, the Jin army camp moved suddenly, and three thousand teams launched an attack from different directions, and the attack lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Finally, it was still in vain.

When it was near, the Jin soldiers retreated. It was three o'clock in the middle of the night, and after the tension, a huge tiredness pressed down on everyone. At the end of the day, in the city of Linzhou, Xu Chunyi, the general who defended the city, came out of the courtyard and walked to the city wall on the west side, and there were henchmen by his side to follow him.

Across the street from here, Yan Qing, who was dressed in black, waved his hand and followed in the same direction.

In the Jurchen camp, which had gradually quieted down, Shu Lie quickly walked out of the tent, faced Linzhou City, which had also been quieted down, and raised his binoculars. From his arrival in Linzhou, there was an incomparable boiling and hustle and bustle, and the night in front of him seemed to have never been so quiet.

In the mountains two miles away from the Jurchen camp, the animals seemed to be sleeping in the cold and night, and Lu Junyi was also watching the camp from afar, from afar.

Two o'clock in the morning, four o'clock in the morning.

Something's about to happen......
