As far as the eye can see, there is still snow in the field of vision, and the sun is shining down from the thick clouds. In the evening, the weather was unusually clear.

The city wall of Linzhou is not high, but after a round of repairs in the second half of last year, it is still quite a strong city defense. On the city wall in the north, the black flag is fluttering in the cold wind, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Army are up and down, carrying all kinds of city defense equipment, Hu Yanzhuo runs on the city wall, occasionally setting up a hand for the soldiers carrying artillery, debugging it, or directing the battalion and company commander below to enter the responsibility section, and the face is stern.

Hu Yanzhuo had served as a general in the Wu Dynasty, and now his position in the Huaxia Army is the regiment commander. The people who came down from Liangshan originally had many arrogant people, but in the face of the soldiers under his command now, Hu Yanzhuo's heart did not have much arrogance.

On the one hand, the military regulations of the Huaxia Army are strict, and they are reflected in the training, and after experiencing the strong combat power that comes from this, Hu Yanzhuo, as a general, himself greatly appreciates such regulations. Second, more than half of the team that is now following Zhu Biao are veterans who have experienced the battles of the Northwest and Xiaocanghe, and they have been sharpened into a sword for ten years.

Although more than 10,000 people have been hiding in Liangshan Shuibo for several years, they are not as skilled in the development and training of artillery and other objects as the Southwest Huaxia Army. However, in the war with the Jurchens for many years, those who were able to face the army of the Jin State without being defeated and experienced the great battle of the Xiaocang River without dying, in the entire north of the Yellow River, there were only 10,000 people, and there was no more.

At this time, just by methodically preparing for war on the city wall, you can see the morale and iron blood of each soldier.

Linzhou guard general Xu Chunyi looked at the scene on the city wall, and his heart was also shocked, at this time, Guan Sheng had already come over, and pulled him to a military meeting: "By the way, General Xu, the Shulie is coming quickly, you and I will soon fight side by side, we are friendly troops, we must not get to know each other, this evening, our Huaxia Army held a mobilization meeting, and there were some grievances and heart-to-heart activities before." When I came, I said that I would like to borrow your military camp and school field, and your brothers would better come and participate in it......"

"Grievances and Heart-to-Heart ......"

"Oh, it's just to sit down and talk to each other after dinner, Lala is homely, although it's only once, and you don't necessarily get acquainted with it, but it's always a little good for the soldiers to get to know each other."

"Of course it's okay......"

"Okay, General Xu agreed, little things, Xiao Sun, you go and arrange it." Guan Sheng turned around and said to a deputy, and then turned around: "The meeting of everyone is the real big thing......

"But...... If that mobilization meeting is held together, I am afraid that the place is not big enough, and it will ......"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I've said it, it's just to get to know each other, and when you get to know each other, it's okay to be separated. I want to sum up with you first, the intention of the Jurchens this time ......"

……

Between the woodlands, the war horses spewed white gas, whistling and staggering, the sound of weapons accompanied by the roar of the human body falling to the ground, and the shovel of high snow blocks splashed and flew in all directions. Lu Junyi rushed out on the snow, nailed the spear in his hand to the ground, dragged the corpse away, and then pulled it out violently.

Red and white intersected, the sound of hooves on the opposite side had quickly narrowed the distance, and the Jurchen knight on the horse waved his steel knife and slashed down, and in front of the galloping horse, Lu Junyi's body shook, and a big gun seemed to disappear silently behind him, and the next moment, the spear blade rushed out from the other side of the body.

This is a form of the horse pistol, the spear roared into the sky, the snow scars bloomed, the neck of the war horse was shaved open by the spear under the huge impact, and then the sharp spear blade pierced the chest of the Jurchen knight, rushing out into the sky. The horse fell in the snow as it galloped, and the knight rolled on the snow, and when he stood up, there was already a shocking scar on his chest, and Lu Junyi had already pounced, and the equally tall Jurchen scout was pressed down in the snow, and he waved his hand and slit his throat.

In the blink of an eye, he killed two skilled Jurchen scouts, searched them quickly, and then went to retrieve his mount, and made his way through the snowy woods to the top of the mountain.

Lu Yuanwai, who used to be the No. 1 gun stick in Hebei, is now forty-six years old. After joining the Huaxia Army, Lu Junyi's initial idea was to serve as a general to lead the troops into battle, but later, he and Yan Qing were arranged by Ning Yi to be instructors in the special operations team. When the Central Plains started the war this time, he joined Zhu Biao's side to help, and also served as a scout to fight. With the Jurchens pulling out the camp, Lu Junyi also rushed to the front line as soon as possible.

After killing the two Jurchen scouts he met by chance, Lu Junyi went to the top of the mountain, and on the avenue at the other end of the mountain, a long line of banners and queues appeared in view. Lu Junyi picked up the binoculars and carefully recorded the characteristics and possible flaws of each team......

More than 36,000 Jurchen brigades, nearly 40,000 followed the Han army, and more than 70,000 people traveled all the way south, Lu Junyi followed all the way, during which there were chases and fights occasionally launched, at night, he and his companions met in the cave between the mountains to rest, and in the night sky, there were Jurchen falcons flying over.

The game of life and death, the intersection of iron and blood, relatively speaking, many scenes from more than ten years ago are like child's play.

……

“…… The team of the Jurchens who came over this time, the information transmitted from the front, to be precise, was about 75,000, half of them were the direct elite of the Shulie speed, this team followed Aguda to fight the world, although it is bad now, but it is not much worse. Their idea this time is to either crush us or surround us, and we will not allow ...... either way."

“…… But at the same time, we can't retreat, we retreat, and Wasion can't hold on. Therefore, it is better to fight them, but you don't need to win too much, and it is not difficult to defend them beautifully. We have 10,000 Huaxia troops here, and there are more than 23,000 brothers under General Xu, before coming, Wang Juyun has mobilized the Ming Wang Army under his command to help, the main force of the Ming Wang Army is nearly 30,000, and the recently expanded 20,000 people, well, compared to the number of people, we still have the advantage, haha, so what ......are you afraid of?"

In the warm room, the meeting of the coaches has been going on, and Guan Sheng pulled Xu Chunyi to sit together, discussing various divisions and cooperation issues between the two sides. The name of the Huaxia Army was too big, and Xu Chunyi did not have much insistence in military affairs, but as the meeting progressed, he gradually heard the sound of the voice outside and was puzzled.

"Kill the Jurchen dog!"

“…… Kill the Jurchen dog! ”

"We're human too!"

“…… It's also human—"

Sounds like these occasionally sounded ridiculous at first, but as the crowd grew, the sound became a little scary. Xu Chunyi occasionally asked Guan Sheng: "This is ......"

"Oh, it's okay, everyone is together and it still sounds very enthusiastic. Let's talk about the problem at the South Gate, I have some ideas......"

On the school field of the barracks outside, the huge square was divided into areas one by one, and the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were the first to gather, and then the soldiers of the garrison army who had dinner also came to see the excitement. From time to time, some people went up to the venue and talked about the stories that had happened to them, including the war in the northwest, the fact that it was already a blank land, those who participated in the three-year war of Xiaocanghe, and the idea of killing the Jurchens for the first time, and those whose homes were in the Central Plains, and the tragic scene after the Jurchens were killed repeatedly.

Someone said and cried, first one person, then a group of people. The soldiers of the garrison were also called up, although they stammered, but in such a world, most of them had the same suffering, especially those who were forced to become soldiers, and there were not a few unjust souls who died in vain in their families.

This kind of heart-to-heart meeting of bittersweet memories was also learned by Wang Shanyue, but it was naturally initiated from the Huaxia Army at the beginning. In these years, no one cares about the people who are living a hard life, and everyone is accustomed to many hardships. Jingping's shame, even the emperor, concubines, ministers' families and other nobles have suffered like that, and no one listens to the complaints of one or two Jurchens who were killed by the Jurchens in ordinary people's homes. For some people, for whom they stammered about the tragedy of their own family on stage, and some listened to it, it was the first time in their lives that they discovered that they also had personality and dignity.

Occasionally, when Chinese soldiers came to the stage to talk about how to kill the Jurchens, the crowd was full of hysterical shouts, and some even fainted from crying.

When Xu Chunyi and the others finished the meeting and came out with Guan Sheng, the whole scene was almost boiling. Guan Sheng put his arm around Xu Chunyi's shoulders.

"General Xu, King Jin trusted you when he was alive, and now that he is gone, we trust you too. To avenge the King of Jin, he bit off a piece of Jurchen flesh and fought here. You and I will advance and retreat together, and we will retreat together, which is really one, and from today onwards, take care of it more! ”

Xu Chun was solemn, then raised his hands and arched his hands heavily.

The boiling night, I don't know when it gradually subsided, the long darkness passed, the next day dawn, the eastern sky released a brilliant morning glow, the soldiers changed the guard, climbed the city wall, in the changing skylight, waiting for the arrival of the Jurchen army.

On the sixth day of the second month, at noon. The Jurchen banner spread towards Linzhou City, appearing in everyone's field of vision, and the handsome banner of the art column was displayed. On the city wall of Linzhou, some veterans of the Chinese Army clenched the steel knives in their hands or grabbed the bluestone on the wall, their eyes were fierce, and they gritted their teeth.

In the eyes of the nearby defenders, a murderous aura rose to the sky. Over the years, they had never seen an army that could emit such a tragic aura as if they were going to rush out of the city to fight instead of defending it.

But these people don't know. In June of the fifth year of Jianshuo, the Shulie rate army participated in the siege of Xiaocanghe, and after half a year of stubborn defense, Xiaocanghe broke the dam at the mouth of the valley, and the army of Qingmu Village and Xiaocanghe broke through brazenly. Although soon after, Ning Yi led an army of 20,000 into Yanzhou and killed Ci Bushi to recover a city, in the eyes of many Chinese soldiers, Shu Liesu was also a great enemy with the blood of his brothers.

At the beginning of the year, a glimpse in the snow, each other resisted the urge to pounce, as if it was a generous and heroic conversation and laughter to outsiders, and for both parties, it was a choice made in the mentality of really wanting to live and die. And at this point, no one has to retreat.

The clouds in the sky changed shape and quickly rolled past.

In Linzhou, the drums of war roared. 10
