In the middle of July of the tenth year of Wu Jianshuo, in the south of Jindi, the mountains stretched, and the banner was swaggering.

In the northwest of Jinning Mansion, Yanhu Pass, the newly repaired pass, the small half of the pass has been caught in the sea of fire, in the southern city wall that has been broken, dense soldiers are pouring into the city one by one, under the banner of Rulin, the flames shake the white faces of the soldiers.

In the city that has been breached, the fighting is still ferocious, Yu Yulin led the team to help the fortifications in the city to defend and not retreat, and the catapult and heavy crossbow were fired in the direction of the level breach. Yu Yulin, with a bandage on his body, stood at the top of the city, directing the battle, and the flames steamed the scorching breath into the sky.

Since the city walls were breached, the battle has been going on for a day and a night, and the stubborn resistance inside the city has not stopped, so that the soldiers attacking outside the checkpoint have not had the same vigor as before. But in any case, the dominant and large attacking army continued to stuff the ranks into the checkpoint, and the mountains east of Yanhu Pass were densely packed with soldiers waiting to advance.

Since the assassination of Tian Shi on the 22nd day of the first month, at the end of February and the beginning of March, the faction headed by Liao Yiren actually completed the division of the Jin land, and in May Weisheng broke the city, and under the order of Lou Shuwan's resoluteness, the entire city was burned. At this time, the Western Route Army led by Wanyan Zonghan and Xi Yin chose to go south directly and appointed the forces led by the Liao family to preside over the extermination of the anti-Jin forces in Jin.

After Lou Shuwan and others abandoned Weisheng, they retreated to the mountains to the west and south, relying on the increasingly rugged terrain and passes to defend. On the eighth day of the seventh month, Yanhu Pass was torn open by the opposite side due to the defection of a group of soldiers after being trapped for more than a month.

In the southeast of Yanhu Pass, Wang Juyun, who led the Ming Wangjun to try to come to the rescue, was blocked by Chen Longzhou, a surrendering general who led more than 50,000 troops, and fell into a fierce battle.

The remnant sun is like blood, in the rugged mountains, You Hongzhuo wields a knife to fight, his face is hideous, covered in blood, and the terrible wound is extending down from his shoulder. In this mountain, the twelve green forest people who accepted the task escorted the scouts to Yanhu Pass, and wanted to report to Yu Yulin the news that An Xifu led a small group of troops to detour, but on the way they were discovered by the scouts of the gold reduction army, and after a fight, there are now only five people left, including You Hongzhuo.

There was a spear stabbing on the opposite side, You Hongzhuo shouted loudly and rushed up, and threw himself into the range of the opponent's gun shadow along the gun, the long knife had been slashed out, the other party dodged, and the gun body pushed away the desperate You Hongzhuo, and then collected the gun and stabbed. You Hongzhuo, who was already injured and exhausted, shook his body, seeing the tip of the gun piercing in front of him, but he couldn't dodge, at this moment, a figure came from the side, the spear was broken in the air, and a huge figure grabbed the tip of the spear that was broken in the air, and inserted it into the neck of the gun bearer in the process.

“…… This is Yannan's Wang family gun, more than smart, but the connotation is insufficient, suitable for fighting, but if you have deep internal strength and attainments are higher than him, you are not afraid...... The cannon hammer, the best fight now, is Chen Fan in the south, in the hands of these two people, it is simply insulting martial arts, stupid style...... This makes the original sword learn the shape of a tiger, there is an empty shelf, there is no momentum, you see the tiger in my hand......"

You Hongzhuo's figure staggered, the figure had already walked into the crowd, and the pace didn't look fast, but as the sound spread, the figure punched and kicked, the sleeves of the robe flew and whistled, the wind was like thunder, and the scout figure who was killing in front of him seemed to have encountered the situation of flying on the battlefield, and he flew left and right in an instant, and then he hit a tiger-shaped punch, and a tiger-like roar could be faintly heard in the air, and the figure in front of him was spilled with blood, as if it had exploded.

With such a deep internal strength and martial arts attainments that have been perfected in the realm, You Hongzhuo has only faintly seen it in the Zhao couple back then, and now in the eight-armed dragon king beside the female minister. He was so badly injured that his eyes were already shaking. Before the arrival of this master, there had been a fierce battle between the two sides, and now there were eleven or twelve people on the opposite side, and after a while, only the last gun-wielder was killed, and the huge man waved his hand backwards, summoning a child who had been hiding under the tree.

“…… As the teacher said before, the spear in the green forest pays attention to an inch long and an inch strong, what should I do to deal with him? Peace, take out the sword, today he is your ......"

The child in the back was short, and it seemed that he was only five or six years old—at this time, You Hongzhuo naturally couldn't remember the child he had saved in Zezhou—the child named Ping'an's body trembled, and he took out a dagger amid the shouts of the master, but he didn't dare to step forward.

The man in front just laughed: "Ping'an, what did you say for the teacher?" People in the rivers and lakes, chivalry first, such as today's turmoil, these traitors take refuge in the Jin people, deceive my Han family, eat inside and outside to die, think about the scenes that you have seen for the teacher these days, think about the damn Jin soldiers who have come to see these days, think about those children who are the same size as you! Don't be afraid! Damn them! Damn it! They are a few years older than you, taller, but their necks are soft! Today, the teacher will fight for you, and you will go and see their blood—"

The man said, reached out and grabbed the child's clothes, and threw the child out suddenly, the child's figure screamed and flipped in the air, and the last scout with a gun in front couldn't help but swing his gun and stab up, and the huge figure with high martial arts on this side waved his robe sleeves, and the child's figure fell on the body of the gun, only to listen to a few blows, the figure flew to the ground, and the man with the gun fell to the ground, got up again, reached out and touched his neck, and the blood flew out, falling on the face of the child who was getting up from the ground- The gunman's throat had been sliced open with a dagger.

"Hahahaha, okay-" You Hongzhuo heard a thick laugh in his ears and remembered, the remnant sun was like blood, "Peace!" Good! From this day forward, you're a dignified man, and you're no less than anyone else—"

The atmosphere of the troubled times has changed, and even if it is such a scene in front of you, I am afraid that it will be strange slowly. The smoke of gunpowder rose to the sky, and people fought and struggled under the sky.

The people on the boat held their breath and saw the corpse floating on the water in front of them, walking along the corpse, the sound of fighting gradually became clear, and then they killed the reeds and converged towards the battlefield in the open water ahead.

Cannons thundered, arrows flew, soldiers fought on the ship, on the water, and underwater, and on a large official ship, gunpowder was ignited, and a huge explosion accompanied by flames poured out of the cabin, and the ship sank to the bottom with the smoke of gunpowder.

Southwest, Chengdu Plain. The flood situation in the summer has slowed down, after completing the task of fighting floods and holding the results of the expansion of the first year of the Huaxia Army, the Fifth Army of China has returned to the rhythm of training and preparation, and a small area of conscription has also been carried out in an orderly manner.

Zhang Village, the core of the Huaxia Army, the General Staff, had already entered a state of tension as early as June. On the one hand, it receives information from the outside world, studies the various weak points of the Jurchen army, and on the other hand, calculates and predicts the development of the war based on the information that came from the previous sources.

The information on the battle situation in the east and west is transmitted every day, summarized in Zhangcun, and there will always be half an hour every day for everyone to gather for group analysis and discussion, and then there will be various tasks assigned to each person, such as analyzing the war thinking and habitual tendencies of the Jurchen high-level generals such as Zong Han, Xi Yin, Zong Fu, Zong Bi and other generals according to the determined battle situation, and then establishing a rough logical framework based on the psychological analysis of each of them, and analyzing the decisions they may make next.

Although it may seem like a piece of paper on paper, the prediction of the behavior of some simple-thinking generals is still quite accurate.

In recent days, in this general staff, what has attracted everyone's most praise is Yue Fei's tactical movements in the direction of the Western Route Army. He had been operating in Xiangyang for a long time, and with the arrival of the Jurchens, it was he who attacked first, besieging Dengzhou and then sending reinforcements.

The Jurchen general Ali scraped the original town to guard Bianliang, and through the looting in the Central Plains, he gathered tens of thousands of heavy cavalry - for the Tiefu Tu heavy cavalry, for a period of time, it was the development direction that the Jin people were keen on, but later the elm cannon and gunpowder were used more and more powerfully, and then after the iron cannon was born, Xi Yin realized the limitations of the heavy cavalry, and gradually stopped. However, the large-scale armored heavy cavalry is still a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, Ali Scrape took over part of the original Jin Kingdom's Tiefu Tu, and later supplemented a large number in the Central Plains, expanding the Tiefu Tu to nearly 10,000 in frenzy, this time seeing Yue Fei attacking Dengzhou, he roared and crushed over.

Yue Fei's Beiwei army in Dengzhou north of twenty miles in a very short period of time to complete the selection and deployment of the battlefield, after the two sides of the short hand, the two sides launched a fierce fight, Yue Fei skillfully built a number of iron artillery defense line, Ali scraping tried to push down the opponent's artillery array with heavy cavalry frontal, after overthrowing the two positions of the Beiwei army successively, into a large-scale iron artillery encirclement, encountered a fierce attack.

In this tragic battle, both sides suffered a lot of losses, the Beiwei army suffered thousands of casualties, and more than 100 iron cannons were destroyed, Ali scraped one side in the brazen advance at the beginning of the sweetness, and then the mud feet fell into the deep and could not extricate themselves, and the huge heavy cavalry lost nearly 1,000 on the spot, more than 3,000 horsemen lost their combat effectiveness due to serious injuries on their horses, and more than 2,000 infantry lost their combat effectiveness. When Ali collected his troops in a shocking manner, the Beiwei army withdrew, and defeated the Xinye army under the city of Dengzhou, beheading nearly 3,000, completing a head-on attack before Xi Yin's arrival.

When Xi Yin arrived in Nanyang, the Beiwei army calmly retreated to Xiangyang, and Xi Yin, who was angry, directly relieved Ali of his post and demoted to the vanguard, after which the army repaired and no longer attacked, which can be regarded as a recognition of the combat power of the Beiwei army under Yue Fei.

As for Yangzhou, Wushu has been bombarding indiscriminately under the city for a few days, since the rear Zongfu army pressed, and Fu Dingkang's 100,000 troops who came to relieve the siege to confront, the forward has begun to fight, the fierce war in the direction of Gaoyou has not stopped, most of the troops participating in the war are in place, but it will take a few days to develop the results.

On the 11th day of July, everyone in the staff department gathered for a meeting, and the small staff officer named Peng Yueyun submitted a tactical inference that Han Shizhong might have begun to play tricks. Ning Yi read the first one and stuffed it to the others with a smile.

"Maybe it's right, it seems that Han Shizhong is really likely to abandon Yangzhou in the future to lure Zong Bi into the bait. People and land, people and land, people and land, people and land, people and land. This is a report on the evacuation of refugees from Jiangnan, and it seems that the little prince's side is ready to give up every place north of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is the selected decisive battle...... Of course, to do a good job in this game, it will definitely take time to see when Han Shizhong will give up Yangzhou...... Hmmm......"

Ning Yi said as he looked at the second piece of information that came, and at this time, he frowned slightly, with a complicated smile on his face. Everyone looked over here, Ning Yi was silent for a moment, and handed over the information to everyone, his face a little tangled.

"This guy, how did you do it......"

When everyone saw the information, they first frowned, then suddenly, then excitedly, and then they also looked complicated, and they looked at each other.

"It's a little soup......"

"This ...... This guy is too ruthless......"

"Do you have to eat more tonight?"

"The Jurchens are going crazy, is this good or bad......"

"Well, let's talk about it...... Whether we get it first or the Jurchen and Eastern armies know first......"

“…… Do they know that we did it? ”

"Hahaha...... I don't know why, but I suddenly don't want to have anything to do with that guy, or else we should make a statement that this has nothing to do with us? ”

"Otherwise, leaving aside the affirmation of the relationship, we will send it before the Jurchens go crazy?" In the midst of everyone's discussions, Ning Yi glanced at everyone: "This way, it looks more realistic, hahahaha......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

Please report the news of the tragedy in the clouds.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, a group of anti-gold bandits entered the clouds, originally wanted to loot in the Great Confucian Qi Yan Mansion, and evacuated immediately after catching the Qi clan, but there was a mistake in the action, first the Qi Mansion Ding stubbornly resisted, slightly disrupting the pace of a group of bandits, and then, Shi Yuanji, the eldest grandson of Shi Liai, was bizarrely involved in the incident, and was killed by someone who cut his throat, and the whole incident was involved in a completely out of control direction.

Shi Liai is one of the most famous Han people in the north, when Jin destroyed Liao, he was an official in Liao, when the Wu Dynasty had several summons, Shi Liai felt that the Wu Dynasty was rotten, and could not shirk it, and solemnly warned the whole family not to go out.

Until the unification of the Jin State, Shi Liai took refuge in the Jin State, and was greatly used, and now, he is the head of the Hanchen under Zong Han and even the entire Jurchen court, and he is the Duke of the Kingdom and knows the affairs of the Privy Council. After Zong Han's southern expedition, he presided over the affairs of Yunzhong Mansion.

In terms of real power, even the sum of several Jurchen princes and even the princes may not be as good as today's Shi Liai. This night, other Jurchen nobles were involved in the Qi family, and I am afraid it will not make a big fuss, but the first to die is Shi Liai's eldest grandson.

Soon after Shi Yuanji disappeared in the evening, the Shi family had already noticed that something was wrong, and after that, the whole city of Yunzhong Mansion was under martial law, and a kind of bandit who entered the Qi family had no way out, facing the corpse of Shi Liai's eldest grandson, and began a series of crazy actions after that.

This night, hundreds of bandits who entered the city ran and fought in Yunzhong Mansion, frantically trying to survive and set fire everywhere, it was the autumn when the weather was dry and dry, for some reason, some places hoarded fire oil, this night the strong wind blew, the fire in Yunzhong Mansion continued, burned countless houses, and thousands of people died in this chaos and fire. In the process of surviving the bandits, more than a dozen Jurchen nobles who were taken hostage also died one after another, and the death was tragic.

And in this huge chaos, the spies of the Black Flag Army also took advantage of the situation to enter the Great Courtyard that was almost affected by the fire and carried out some sabotage.

Back to the evening of the fifth day of the seventh month.

In the Qi Mansion, the moment Wanyan Wenqin saw Shi Yuanji's corpse, the whole person was stunned......
