In the wee hours of the morning, the wind and snow gradually stopped.

In the ruins of the original town, a bonfire is burning. The sound of horses, the voices of people, bring the breath of life back to this place temporarily.

Soldiers boiled porridge in iron pots or washed helmets in front of the campfire, and some people roasted cold and hard steamed buns or extravagant strips of meat on the flames, and the lightly wounded soldiers were still talking and laughing around the fire. On one side of the camp, the rescued ragged captives were huddled in twos and threes.

"Come, blanket, take ......"

Ning Yi walked among them, and together with others, handed them the few blankets that could keep them warm. Most of these people who have been in the Jurchen camp for several months have been injured and subjected to various abuses, and if you look at the image, it may be more bleak and unbearable than the most miserable beggars in many later film and television dramas. Occasionally, there are a few slightly cleaner ones, mostly women, and there will even be colorful clothes on their bodies, but most of them are a little cringe and sluggish, and in the Jurchen camp, women who can be dressed up a little will be treated, you can imagine how they will be treated.

In fact, as long as they are women, they may have been treated like this, but some of them have been treated like this for a little longer, and their image will be miserable, and they will have no desire, and most of the people who can be left to fend for themselves are a little lazy and did not kill them.

Some of them saw Ning Yi handing over something, and subconsciously shrank back - they (or they) may remember Ning Yi's behavior in the Jurchen camp not long ago, and drove everyone to flee despite their thoughts, which led to a large number of deaths later.

In that chaos, when the Jurchens were killed, some of the captives who had been locked up for a long time had to subconsciously kneel down and surrender. Ning Yi and the others were hiding among them. Those Jurchens were attacked, and then the real slaughter was naturally these released captives, relatively speaking, they were more like human shields, covering the assassination and attack of the Jurchens by more than 100 people who entered the camp to burn food. So much so that many people are cold-blooded towards Ning Yi and others. Still having palpitations.

But of course, except for a few seriously injured people who are still dying in the cold weather at this time, it is naturally a good thing to be able to escape. Even if he had palpitations, he would not accuse Ning Yi at this time, and Ning Yi, of course, would not defend himself.

Soon after, gruel and roasted steamed bun slices began to be brought in, but there were not enough bowls. Drinking porridge can only be done with washed broken tiles and porcelain tiles.

With these things to warm your belly, the ruins of the town, under the reflection of the campfire, become more peaceful.

There was also a small number of men, who at this time were still arranging for the rejection of horses on the edge of the town, and slightly erecting fortifications according to the terrain - although a victory had just been achieved, a large number of Gao Suzhì's scouts were also active in the surrounding area, constantly monitoring the movements of the Jurchens. But the possibility of the other party's surprise attack is still to be guarded against.

“…… At that time. I was a little panicked when I fell off my horse, but even if those golden dogs rushed over, I had armor on me. A prick, a bang, didn't go in...... Fuck. I'm going to kill him, and he still dares to resist......"

In the snow after the rejection of the horse, the figures of more than a dozen people were digging pits, and the sound of talking came from the other.

Most of the soldiers in the camp were in this situation at this time. Talking about the battle, the voice is not shouting, but at this time, there is a full and full of confidence up and down the camp, and people can't help but be able to settle down when they walk.

Ning Yi, Hong Ti, Qin Shaoqian and others were also among them asking about the arrangements of various things, and there were also many trivial matters, which others wanted to ask them. At this time, the surrounding canopy was still dark, and when all kinds of placements were already seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, eight, and eight, someone brought some wine over, although it had not yet begun to be sent, but the smell of wine made the atmosphere more enthusiastic. Ning Yi's voice sounded in front of the camp: "I have a few words to say. ”

The darkest sky before dawn was also the most quiet and lonely, and the wind and snow had stopped, and after Ning Yi's voice sounded, thousands of people quickly quieted down, consciously looking at the figure of a small group of gravel walking in the center of the ruins.

Ning Yi's face was full of a smile.

"Are you excited? I'm also excited. When I set off, I didn't know whether to send me to death in today's battle, or whether I could really do something. As a result, we really did it, and that army, known as invincible, was the strongest in the world. During their few months in Bianliang, they defeated more than 300,000 of our people. Today! Let's go out for the first time and teach them a lesson! Defeat them by 10,000! Burned their grain in front of them! We slapped them hard, and this is something that no one can do! Ning Yi smiled and raised his hand, "I told myself in my heart that we are invincible." ”

And they laughed.

"So after it calmed down a little, I was also very happy that the news had been spread to the village, to Bianliang, and they were definitely even happier. There will be hundreds of thousands of people who will be happy for us. Someone asked me if I wanted to celebrate, and indeed, I have prepared wine, and it is good enough for you to drink. But these two barrels of wine are not here for you to celebrate. ”

Ning Yi's face tightened slightly, his words paused, and the soldiers below also subconsciously sat up straight. At present, most of these people are from Luliang and Dulonggang, Ning Yi's prestige is beyond doubt, and when he speaks seriously, no one dares to ignore or disobey.

"We are facing the invincible Jurchens, there are 50,000 people attacking Bianliang, and there are more than 30,000 people under the command of Guo Yaoshi, who are also strong soldiers in the world, and they are looking for the Western Army Division to settle accounts. If it weren't for the more than 10,000 people in Mutuogang today, if they hadn't first wanted to protect grain and grass and fight recklessly, we would not have been able to retreat with all our bodies. Compared to the quality of other armies, you will think that this is very powerful, and it is worth boasting about, but if it is just like this, you will all die here-"

"Are you strong enough? Inadequate! Are your records brilliant enough? Inadequate! It's just a little warm-up battle, and it's nothing compared to what you're going to face next. Today we have burned their food and slapped them, and tomorrow they will come back even more ferociously and look at the sky around you, in those places where you cannot see. Wounded wolves are waiting to strip you to the bones! ”

Ning Yi spread out his hands: "This piece in front of you is a stage where only the strongest people in the world can stand up. Clash of life and death! Rat! Do it all! As long as you can be a little stronger, then you must not be as good as others, because your enemies are the same, the most ruthless and powerful people in this world! Their only purpose. No matter what method you use, you will be killed! With your hands, with your feet, with knives and guns, with their teeth, bite you to death! ”

"What is powerful? When you are seriously injured, as long as you still have a little strength, you have to grit your teeth and stand and continue to work. If you can survive it, you will be a little stronger. When you win the battle, you can't have the slightest slack in your head, you don't leave any weakness for your enemies, there is no weakness at any time, you are a little stronger! When you are tired, your body holds on and can survive better than they do. When it hurts, I clench my teeth. More tolerant than they are! You use all your potential, and you're the best person, because in this world, you have to know what you can do, in your enemies. There must be someone who can do it! ”

"In the past...... Some people do things with me and say that I'm not a good person to get along with because I'm too strict with myself, too harsh, and I don't even hold them to the standards that I hold myself to account. But...... When will the weak set the standards in this world! When. The weak dare to complain about the strong with confidence! I can understand the shortcomings of all people, greedy for pleasure, lazy and hard-working, flies and dogs, and I like this in the peaceful world. But in front of us, we don't have that room, and if anyone doesn't understand, go and see the people we rescued today...... Our compatriots. ”

"I don't want to expose people's scars, but this is the future of the loser! There is no reason to say! If you are defeated, your parents, wives and children will be treated like dogs, like prostitutes, your little children will be thrown into the fire, you will scold them, you cry, you say they are not human, it will be of no use! There is no reason to talk about it! The only thing you can do is to make yourself stronger, stronger! Don't say that there are 50,000 Jurchens, even if there are 1,100,000,000, defeating them is the only way out! Otherwise, it's all the same! When you forget that you're going to end up with them, look at them......"

"And they will say that I expose people's sore spots, there is no humanity, they are crying......" Ning Yi pointed in the direction of the more than 1,000 people who were rescued, but there were many people crying, "But here, I don't want to show my own humanity, I just need to tell you, what is the matter you are facing, that's right!" Many of you have been treated harshly! You are wronged, you want to cry, you want someone to comfort you! I know it all, but I won't give you these things! I sue you, you have been beaten, scolded, slashed, burned, and raped! It won't end like this, we are defeated, you will go through it again, and the Jurchens will do the same thing to you even harder! Does crying work? After we're gone, do you know what happened to the other survivors? Shuri quickly burned the other people who didn't dare to resist, or who ran late, all to death! ”

"Many of you are women, even children, some have broken hands, some have broken bones, and they are not well, and you are so tired and hungry that it is difficult to even get up and walk. You've been through so many things, and some of you must feel like dying when I say that now, and it's better to die. But there's no way, it's unreasonable, if you don't die, what's the only thing you can do? Just pick up the knife, open your mouth, cut with your knife, bite with your mouth, and go and eat those Jurchens for me! Here, even the words 'I did my best' are taken back to me, there is no point! Because there are only two in the future! Die or die! Either your enemies die—"

Ning Yi's voice stopped slightly, and in the dark sky, the echo reverberate.

"But I tell you that the Jurchens are not that powerful. You can already defeat them today, and what you do is very simple, which is to defeat them every time. Don't compare yourself with the weak, don't say you tried your best, don't say how good you are, what you face next is hell, where any weak thoughts will not be accepted! Some people say today that if we burn the grain and grass of the Jurchens, the Jurchens will attack the city more violently, but will we not burn them if they are more violent!? ”

"We burned their food, they attacked the city even harder, and that city could only be defended, they only had to hold it, and there was no reason to talk about it! There are a hundred hurdles before you. If you can't get over it, you will die! Victory is such a demanding thing! But now that we've had our first victory, we've tried their form, and the Jurchens aren't invincible monsters. Since they're not monsters, we can train ourselves into monsters they can't think of! ”

"They burned a lot of grain and grass. Maybe I'm crying right now. Ning Yi pointed casually and said a witty thing, if in normal times, people would probably laugh, but at this time, everyone looked at him and didn't laugh, "Even if you don't cry, you will be depressed because of failure." Human. It seems to be human nature to celebrate for victory, and to be honest with you, I have a lot of money, and one day in the future, you can celebrate as much as you want, the best woman, the best wine and meat. Everything, but I believe. When you are entitled to these things, the death of your enemies is the best gift you can get, and as the saying goes, you can drink from their skulls! Of course. I'm not going to allow you to do that, it's disgusting......"

"There was no celebration today." Ning Yi said, "Each person is only allowed one cup of wine, in order to warm your body." Rest well. But don't let your guard down for a moment! When you wake up, you will be stronger than you are now! You can only be stronger than you are now! Then, make your enemies tremble and let them die. And you live. ”

“…… I'm done. Ning Yi said.

The camp was solemn and quiet, and some people stood up, and almost all the soldiers stood up, their eyes burning red, and they did not know whether they were moved or instigated.

"Yes—" The soldier from Luliangshan in front shouted, and the bruises on his forehead bulged. The next moment, the same voice suddenly sounded like a tidal wave, the voice seemed to be answering Ning Yi's reprimand, but it was more like a wave of anger held back in everyone's hearts, with this town as the center, it shook the entire mountain plain snow ridge in an instant, it was a coercion that was more dignified than murderous aura. Above the trees, snow trickled down, and the unknown scout reined in his horse in the darkness, circling in confusion and terror, not knowing what was going on there.

Ning Yi walked out of the crowd, Zhu Biao, Tian Donghan, Chen Huozi and others followed, this night, it may be difficult for everyone to calm down, but this kind of turbulence is not restless, but indescribable strength and solemnity. Ning Yi went to the small room that had been cleaned up, and after a while, Hongti also came over, he hugged her, and fell asleep in the blanket spread on the ground.

Except for the person in charge of patrolling and guarding, the others then fell into a deep sleep. And in the east, the fish belly will be lit up.

By the time they wake up, they will be even stronger.

In the capital, the first round of propaganda has been released under the instruction of Qin Siyuan, and many insiders already know about the battle in Mu Huogang last night, and some people are still confirming the news through their own channels.

In the lobby of the military department, Qin Siyuan, who had been busy all night, packed up his things a little and prepared to rest, and next to him, Li Gang, who hurriedly came over to chat with him for a while, was also full of tiredness.

"After dawn, it's only going to get harder." Qin Siyuan arched his hand, "Li Xiang, let's take a rest." ”

"Yes, yes, I have to ...... I've slept for an hour or two. It's time to take a break before you can fight the golden dog. ”

The old man laughed again, and since he got the news, he was overjoyed, and his pace was much faster than before. The rear of the military department had already prepared a room for them to rest, the two went to the room, there were also servants to serve, Qin Siyuan fell asleep on the bed, Li Gang lit the lamp and candle, pushed open the window, and looked at the dark sky outside, he smiled again, and unconsciously, tears rolled out of his wrinkled eyes.

Li Gang has a violent and loyal temperament, and when he walked to the top of the phase, he had not known the taste of tears for many years. There are many theories about his ability, but a patriotic heart is extremely fierce. In the past few years, he has carried out various things, every time he is constrained, the court is chaotic, and the military affairs are corrupted, he wants to cheer up this matter, but how much can he do? This time the Jurchen attacked the city, and the defense he organized was resolute, and he was even ready to die here, but the Jurchen was strong, and he was pressed down like Mount Tai, and it was not a pity for him to die, but he had ever seen hope.

Only at this moment, he suddenly felt that in the pressure of the past few days, a large amount of life and death and blood, he could finally see a little light and hope.

He took a breath and walked around the room twice, then hurried to bed and put himself to sleep.

He had to rest quickly, and if he couldn't rest well, how could he die generously......

In the Jurchen camp, the bonfire was burning, and Zongwang put his hands behind his back and looked at the huge city in front of him.

Liu Yanzong followed behind, also looking at the city.

When the war developed to such a situation, it was really surprising that someone attacked the camp last night, but it was not a big deal for these experienced Jurchen generals.

“…… Yanzong...... If we can't destroy this city, what face will we have to go back? ”

――In a sense, it just deepened Zongwang's determination to break the city.

Liu Yanzong's eyes were indifferent, and in his heart, he also had the same thoughts.

Before coming, they felt that the Wu Dynasty would probably have some background, and they were quite cautious. Later, he broke the army of the Wu Dynasty, thinking that they were simply a litter of rabbits and had no combat power. Now, it's kind of scratched by a rabbit.

Bad luck......

You have to kill more of these Wu Dynasty to do it! Thorough ...... Kill them until they dare not resist!

The sound of the rooster crow has been sounded in the warm room of the alum building, the courtyard at the rear.

The master was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, and was sleeping, under the quilt, revealing his fair slender feet and ankles tied with red ribbons.

When she opened her eyes, she felt a strange agitation outside the room...... (To be continued......)
