In the thirteenth year of Jinghan, in late November, heavy snow fell in Bianliang.

Compared with the heavy snow, the siege of the Jurchens is the biggest disaster facing the entire Bianliang and even the entire Wu Dynasty today. For several months, the sudden southward movement of the Jurchens was like a catastrophe for the people of the Wu Dynasty, and Zong Wang led a rampage of less than 100,000 people, destroying the withering and decaying, and brazenly defeating hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city of Bianliang, in a sense, it was also like a fierce lesson to the people of the Wu Dynasty in their twilight years.

For a long time, under the appearance of singing and dancing, the people of the Wu Dynasty did not pay attention to military affairs. The literati were in charge of the army, and a large amount of money was invested, and the thing that gave back the most was the rampant use of various military theories. How to fight the war, how to ensure logistics, how to use conspiracy and conspiracy, there are actually many people who understand. is also because of this, if you can't beat the Liao, you can spend money to buy your achievements, but you can't beat the Jinren, you can sow discord, and you can drive the tiger and devour the wolf. However, at this moment, everything is useless.

Wanyan Zongwang's move, in the past few months, crushed the extravagant hopes of military theorists. Every time he sent troops, he was decisive and resolute, and the heroism and bloodiness of the founding army were enough to crush almost all the conspiracies, especially after the general attack on Bianliang City was launched on November 22, the Jurchen army was crushed like a burning, and every blow of Zongwang was like a firm cut on the key point of the Wu Dynasty, and there were almost no child's plays.

And what Bianliang City can compete with can only be the real accumulation of two hundred years at the national level.

The literati ruled the country and accumulated for more than 200 years, and what they have saved up in a dignified way can be called a heritage, after all, there are still some things. Loyal to the monarch and patriotism, sacrificing oneself for righteousness, coupled with the promotion of real vital interests, Bianliang City. Finally, he was able to mobilize a large number of people, and in a short period of time, he joined the defending team like a moth to a fire.

If Zong Wang's every blow is aimed at Bianliang's vital point, as Bianliang, a bloated and weak behemoth, in a situation where it is almost impossible to dodge, the only way to deal with it is to fill it with a large number of lives. From the twenty-second to the twenty-fifth night fell. When Zong Wang cut the heaviest knife at Bianliang, it was just this night when hundreds of Jurchens broke into the city, in order to recapture the wall and clear the Jurchen soldiers who entered the city, the lives of the soldiers and the masses near the Xinshuozao Gate were already more than 6,000 people, up and down the city, with mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.

There was no time to think about the meaning of life and death, and in such a battle, the soldiers and the large masses who had been mobilized were filled into the abyss of death one after another. It is difficult to say whether people should be moved by it, or whether they should reflect and mourn it. It's just that at least at this moment, the few old men who are in charge of guarding the city are indeed carrying out the responsibility of defending with an overdraft of their lives, Li Gang once insisted on leading the troops to rush to the head of the city with a steel knife, and Qin Siyuan in the rear. After learning about the huge casualties, he sat down in a chair with that number. After a long time, my hands were shaking, and I couldn't even speak.

When a country has no strength, it can only be consumed with life.

On the line of Bianliang City, withstanding the large number of human life consumption of the Jurchens, outside Bianliang City, many teams have been crippled and feared. It is difficult to have the ability to break the siege, and even the courage to face the Jurchen army is not much. However, on the 25th day, when it was dark, the battle that suddenly broke out in the Jurchen Muhuogang camp was also resolute and fierce. In a sense, after more than 300,000 Qin Wang troops had been run over by the Jurchens, the offensive launched by more than 4,000 people suddenly was resolute and fierce to the point of staggering.

At the same time that Zong Wang led the army to swing his knife heavily at Bianliang City, the snoopers lurking in the shadows finally made a move and struck the same resolute blow at the back of the Jurchens!

From the appearance of these 4,000 people, the beginning of the heavy cavalry was a strong blow to the Jurchens who stayed behind in Mu Huogang. This style, which was completely different from the ordinary Wu Dynasty army, made the Jurchen army a little stunned, but they were not afraid of it. Despite a certain number of casualties, the Jurchen army, under the excellent command of the general, fought the attacking Wu Dynasty troops outside the Moutuo Gang.

The attacking Wu Dynasty army quickly launched an attack on the outer wall of the camp in Muhuogang with the same resolute attitude. After a moment of whirlwind between each other, the two light cavalry outside the camp collided again.

At the same time, the heavy cavalry and infantry that had stopped in front of Mu Huogang for a short time launched a charge against the Jurchen camp, and in the blink of an eye, the whole battle was pushed to a climax.

In the current quantitative comparison, more than a hundred heavy cavalry is definitely a huge strategic advantage. It's not that they can't be restrained, but this kind of troops, which are stacked with a lot of strategic resources, can only compete with a lot of resources and lives in a head-to-head confrontation. The Jurchen cavalry is basically light cavalry, that is because the heavy cavalry is used to attack the enemy, if it is on the field, the light cavalry can easily consume the heavy cavalry to death, but at present, the more than 1,000 infantry of the servant have become the first victims.

In the camp in the rear, it is true that bows and arrows can be used to support, but the threat of bows and arrows to heavy cavalry is minimal, and even for infantry, if the opponent begins to ignore casualties, the casualties that bows and arrows can cause will not be unbearable for a while.

In front of the Mu camel post, the iron hooves lined up like thunder, rolling in, and in the rear, nearly 2,000 infantry began to shout and charge. In the array in front of the camp, the servant looked back at the Shuliesu on the camp wall, but the order he received was almost desperate, he turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Hold it for me!" The Jurchen infantry under his command looked at the black heavy cavalry pushed over like a huge wall, and their faces became paler than the snow in the night. At the same time, the rear camp gate began to open, and the last five hundred light cavalry in the camp came out brazenly, and he wanted to bypass the heavy cavalry and attack the rear of the infantry!

On the other side, nearly 4,000 cavalry entangled and slashed, sweeping the battle line to this side!

In the heavy snow, the battle lines slapped together like a tidal wave. The blood waves gushed out, and the equally strong Jurchen cavalry tried to avoid the heavy cavalry and tear apart the weak parts of the opponent, but at this moment, even the relatively weak light cavalry and infantry also had a considerable will to fight, and the young general named Yue Fei led 1,800 infantry to meet the rushing Jurchen light cavalry with spears and swords and shields. At the same time, they tried to converge with their own cavalry and squeeze the space of the Jurchen cavalry, while in front, Han Jing and others led the heavy cavalry, which had already crushed the infantry formation of Fulu in the blood wave. At one point, he looked into the sky behind the wall of the Muhugang camp.

Turned-back.

There seemed to be a commotion and a fight.

Rear of the camp. The flames and the plumes of smoke rose.

"Brothers—" In the wind and snow in front of the camp, someone shouted excitedly, hysterically, and heart-pounding, "whatever I am—let me kill—"

"Wow-ahh

At this moment, like a pot of old soup that has finally been boiled through, the crazy atmosphere that should have belonged to the Jurchen army when they defeated the enemy army on weekdays has reappeared in this boiling and bloody battle.

In the previous period, although the fighting spirit was resolute. But after all, the light cavalry who was not old enough to fight rushed up like a wolf pack at this moment, and in the infantry formation, Yue Fei, who was originally young but with a calm temperament, was also excited, as if he had drunk wine, his eyes showed a red color, he held a spear, and laughed: "Kill me with me-" Organized the gun forest and pushed the forward cavalry fiercely. The moment the spear blade pierced into the warhorse's body, his mind flashed. But it was the figure of the old man Zhou Dong who had died to assassinate Zong Han, his master......

There seemed to be flames exploding in the knotted muscles of his hands, and the Jurchen cavalry hesitated for a moment, and the entire body of the war horse and the person was picked up by the young general and a few people next to him, and suddenly, the war horse neighed. The snow rolled, and viscous blood sprayed the soldiers in front of them all over their heads. Around, either the horses fell, or the people were rushed away, and countless killings were made. It's getting hot......

Not long ago, as darkness fell, more than a hundred figures crossed the frozen lake and went straight to the back of the Jurchen camp.

Although they focused on defending the front of the camp, the Jurchens' defense on three sides around the lake was actually not lax. Even before the lake froze, the Jurchens kept a good eye on these directions, and after the ice froze, they intensified their patrols, and there were watchtowers within the towering camp walls to monitor the nearby lake.

However, at such times, when the snow is falling, the night is falling, and the soldiers are accustomed to a few months of calm, there are still blind spots.

Digging an ice hole in the distance, quietly entering the water, and then silently appearing on the shore, several white-clothed people moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they cut the throats of the three patrolling Jurchen soldiers one after another, they changed into the clothes of the Jurchen soldiers, pushed the corpses into the water, and then took out the crossbow and rope wrapped in oilcloth from their arms, shot the Jurchen soldiers on the watchtower behind the nearby camp wall, and then climbed up to replace them.

More than 100 white-clothed people sneaked into the Jurchen camp in the next moment.

This group of people cultivated in Luliang Mountain has already conducted a lot of training for infiltration, sabotage, concealment, decapitation and other matters, and in a sense, there are many masters of the green forest who are good at this kind of action, but most of them are unorganized and undisciplined, and they like to work alone. Ning Yi had a grandmaster like Lu Hongti by his side as a consultant, and then systematized a qiē, which became the prototype of the special forces at this time, this time the elite was exhausted, and there was a red tie leader, and in the blink of an eye, the peripheral defense behind the Jurchen camp was paralyzed.

If in peacetime, most of the Jurchen troops are stationed here, such an action is basically difficult to do, but this time, nearly 5,000 Jurchen people have left the camp gate and are engaged in a fierce battle with Qin Shaoqian and others outside, and the defense of the camp wall in the north is the top priority.

After all, if it weren't for Ning Yi, even if the others organized a large number of soldiers to come over, it would be impossible for them to sneak in silently, and even if one or two green forest masters found their minds to sneak in, it basically didn't make much sense.

They then found the warehouse where the Jurchens were hoarding grain and grass, and when Hongti led people to sneak in, Ning Yi led several people back and found the barracks where the Jurchens were holding Han prisoners. The defense on this side was quite weak, they killed several guards, Ning Yi cut open the big lock of the camp gate, and threw the corpses and weapons of the Jurchens in front of these prisoners who had been tortured for a long time.

"Listen outside, the Jurchens have gone to fight Bianliang, the army of the imperial court is attacking here, if you can still move, take weapons, and then follow me to kill people and get more weapons!" Otherwise, you will die. ”

At this time, there were thousands of captives held in the camp by the Jurchens, and the first batch of captives were still hesitating. Ning Yi didn't care about them, took out the bamboo tube with fire oil in his clothes and poured it around, and then lit the fire directly in the barracks.

The whole camp was in chaos in an instant. On the other side, a raging fire broke out in the Jurchens' grain and grass storehouse, and small-scale fighting began to appear, when Wan Yan Yanmu led a small number of elite soldiers to kill. Half of the camp has exploded, and the fire has begun to burn and spread in several grain and grass warehouses, and most of the Han captives have been released, or organized desperate killings, or scattered and fled, and many people have not dared to resist and flee, only hoping to survive. But the more than 100 people who infiltrated were mixed in with them, and these things, how could they stand them.

A quarter of an hour later, the main gate of the Mutuogang camp fell, and the camp was already bleeding inside and out......

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

It's late at night, Bianliang City, the new sour jujube gate. Calm down a little.

The master stood in front of the burnt pile of ruins, carrying the embers of the fire. Floated past her eyes.

Her face was covered with dust, her hair was a little curled with fever, and there were vague traces of water on her face, I don't know if it was the snowflakes that had melted on her face, or if it was because of crying. The footsteps below him also became staggering.

After half a night of fighting. The Jurchens retreated temporarily. Under the majestic city wall near the new sour date gate, people began to treat the wounded with all their might, collect the corpses, and the surrounding blood was full of blood, and there was a smell of burning.

Many, many people died.

She felt so tired......

Li Yun hurried over from the alum tower. When she was found, she was sitting in a corner under the city wall, stunned and didn't know what she was thinking, her appearance was sad, her eyes were dull, and one of the shoes on her feet was gone, so frightened that Li Yun thought she had been subjected to violence, but fortunately she didn't.

"I can't do it anymore, I'm so tired, I'm so tired......" she said with a low sob, "I want to take a break...... I'm so tired......"

Li Yun squatted down and hugged her sadly......

……

Mu Huogang.

The fighting had ceased, and there was blood everywhere, and a lot of marks of being burned by the flames.

Shurisu stood high in the ruins with his sword in hand, his sword covered in blood, and below, a pile of flames was still burning, illuminating his countenance.

"Do you know who it is?"

He asked.

The Han captives, who were tied up and pushed forward, cried and shook their heads desperately.

"Spare ......"

Joriel kicked the man out of the way with a quick kick, knocking the man off the blazing pit of fire, and then the most terrible screams rang out.

"Do you know! Those are the ones who killed you! You're looking for death—"

His appearance, which had previously appeared handsome and masculine, was now twisted and ferocious, and the voice rang out above the camp, and then someone was pushed down.

In the previous battle, as the rear of the camp was burned, the more than 4,000 soldiers of the Wu Dynasty in front of them burst out with the most amazing combat effectiveness, directly defeating the Jurchen soldiers outside the camp, and even in turn, seizing the camp gate. However, if you really measure the strength in your hands, after all, the combined manpower of the Shuliesu side is tens of thousands, and it is impossible for the other party to defeat the Jurchen cavalry to achieve the effect of total annihilation, but the morale is temporarily high and it has the upper hand. In real comparison, the strength in the hands of the speed of the operation is still superior.

But this time, it's not a battle battle.

The moment he saw the flames burning in the grain and grass storehouse, he knew that he had lost.

The camp became chaotic in the fierce fighting, and all the prisoners who had been held in the camp were released, and the Wu Dynasty people who infiltrated the camp mixed in with them, and in the end, those Wu Dynasty soldiers held on to the gate of the camp for a long time, saving about a third of the Han captives. After the Han captives, most of whom were weak, many of them women, after they left, Talai gathered all the cavalry—in addition to the wounded, there were about 1,200 capable of fighting—and raised yì to Shuliesu, followed the other party, and pursued them with their tails, but Shuliesu knew that this was pointless, and if the other party arranged an ambush, maybe the more than 1,200 people in his hands would be damaged.

"Send scouts to follow them and see who they are." He commanded.

The remaining Han captives in the camp, many of them have been killed in the chaos, and about a third of them survived.

"If you don't resist, you won't die. You were all harmed by those Wu Dynasty people. ”

He said so, and killed them all.

At the same time, the Jurchen camp outside Bianliang City, Zong Wang, who had failed to attack the city, had already heard the whole process of the attack on Mu Huogang, and he sat in his seat, terrifyingly quiet.

At this moment, someone finally made a move and stabbed him in the vital point.

"How much grain and grass are left?"

"No, I don't know the specific number, the camp is still counting, and it hasn't been burned all over, so it's ...... There are always some ...... who have come to report the news have been frightened by the appearance of the handsome man in front of them.

"Who did that?"

"I don't know. Already following them. ”

"Where's Pharmacist Guo?"

"Uh...... General Guo went to the Western Army ......" This matter is clear to Zong Wang, and the scout doesn't know if he is asking him.

"I mean, why hasn't he done it yet. Someone, send an order to Pharmacist Guo and ask him to defeat the Western Army quickly! rob them of their food and grass. Find these people again, and I'll have them in pieces. He took a breath, "Clear the wilderness, burn grain, and break the Yellow River...... I feel like I know who he is......"

In the high-level confrontation game, the emperor of the Wu Dynasty is an idiot, and at this time, the old men who fought against him in Bianliang City can only be said to have fought hard and blocked his attack, which is not easy, but it can't put pressure on him, only this time, he feels a little painful.

4,000 people......

Defeated the ...... of Ryel.

Thinking of this, he slammed his fist into the table in front of him.

“…… Tomorrow, continue the siege! ”

……

In the dark night, in the midst of the wind and snow, there was a long procession.

There were a lot of wounded soldiers, and there were many ragged and shivering civilians in the rear, all of whom were rescued prisoners, but when it came to the whole, the morale of this team was extremely high, because they had just defeated the strongest army in the world - well, it can be said anyway.

A scout on horseback came after him, wounded and tumbling off his horse, with a human head in his hand. The warriors in the team who were proficient in knife wounds and bruises hurried over to help him bandage.

"The Jurchen scouts have been following behind, and I will kill one, but for a while, cough ...... I'm afraid I can't get rid of ......."

"They won't let us go......" Ning Yi looked back at the wind and snow in the distance, in fact, it was pitch black everywhere, "Inform the people, let's not go back to Xia Village first, and settle down in the town before." Those who can be scouted are released, on the one hand, practice with them, and on the other hand, keep an eye on the situation of Guo Yaoshi and Bianliang, when they come to beat us, we will run again. ”

He paused, and after a while, he asked, "The news has been passed to Bianliang, right?" ”

……

When I woke up the next morning, I heard the news...... (To be continued......)
