Summer Village.

When the wind and snow were lighter, the people in the valley received a message from the front, and then the figure that stretched in the wind and snow.

Yue Fei's infantry led more than 1,000 people rescued from the Muhugang camp into the valley one after another, and because of the news in advance, the campfire had already been lit in the valley, hot porridge had been cooked, and blankets and shelters had been prepared for those who had trekked over. Since the valley is actually not very large, after passing through the barrier formed by the rejection of horses and trenches, what appeared in front of these bullied people was the figures of soldiers in circles and rows above the valley......

Then, these figures also raised their swords and guns in their hands, and let out cheers and roars, shaking the heavens and clouds.

Some of the rescued people burst into tears and cried on the spot.

After the rout in the early morning of September 25, Ning Yi gathered these routs and racked his brains in order to boost morale. In the past two months, the initial group of people who followed him played an excellent role model, and since then, a lot of propaganda has been done, forming a relatively fanatical and consistent atmosphere in the camp, and a lot of training has been carried out, but even so, freezing for three days is not a day's cold, even after a certain amount of ideological work, Ning Yi does not dare to pull these more than 10,000 people out to fight a tough battle.

However, the previous propaganda content in the valley originally talked about the suffering of these people's families after the collapse of the country and the collapse of the family, the tragedy of Bianliang, and the history of the five nonsense and the two-legged sheep. After really listening to it, there are sad and desperate thoughts, and to inspire generosity and tragedy, after all, it is just empty words on paper, but when Ning Yi and others led the army to smash Mu Huogang. When the news came that more than 1,000 people had been rescued from the burning of grain and grass, everyone's hearts were really uplifted.

If all the previous statements were just warm-up and foreshadowing, it was only when the news came that all the efforts really came into a circle. In the past two days, the people who stayed behind have spared no effort to publicize these things: the Jurchens are not invincible. We have even rescued our own compatriots, who have suffered so much...... And so on and so forth. When the figures of these people finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the propaganda of Qiē was implemented.

The roar that sounded in the valley at this time was really the cheers and roars of all the people sincerely. However, they also discovered that the cavalry did not follow.

Wen Renji asked Yue Fei and the others about the reason. In the valley, the warmth of welcoming these poor men continued, as to the reasons why the cavalry had not followed. Then word spread.

On the way back to Xia Village, the cavalry had been guarding because the infantry and the rescued people were not moving fast. And because more than 10,000 people of Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren might intercept their way head-on, on the way not far from Xia Village, Qin Shaoqian, Ning Yi and others led the cavalry to block the road of Zhang and Liu.

At this time, the wind and snow continued, and through the mountains of Xia Village, there was no sign of war. However, with 2,000 horsemen, he stopped an army of tens of thousands. It may be possible to retreat, but to fight. The losses are still not small. After learning the news, someone immediately came over to ask for help, including Liu Huizu and Qiu Ju, the original generals of the Wu Dynasty Army, and also newcomers who were later promoted after the integration of Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian. As they came, the rest of the generals also rushed forward, blood and swords hunting.

"We're hiding in the rear, we shouldn't let these brothers bleed in front—"

"More than 10,000 people dare to call for battle, and we will kill them. Swallowed them alive—"

"Brothers, after holding back for so long and practicing for so long, it's time to let this life go! Look who's still a bastard—"

"Risking this life, there is no advance or retreat!"

At this time, the valley was like an explosion, and everyone echoed, and the fighting spirit was awe-inspiring, and they were concerned about the battle situation ahead, and they also wanted to send someone to respond, but then they still suppressed everyone's feelings.

"At the moment of the war, the military order is like a mountain, how can it be child's play! Since General Qin has sent people back, we are not allowed to act rashly, it is that we have already made up our minds, and when we cheer up, the resentful army is outside, are you afraid that there will be no battle! When facing the enemy, you should not be anxious! Although the resentment army is not as strong as Allah, it is also the strongest soldier in the world - all of them sharpen my blade and wait quietly-"

After two months of integration in the valley, in addition to Qin Shaoqian, who is in charge of the center, it is the Zhuji and Xiangfu systems under Ning Yi.

The wind and snow were long, everyone received the order, but the boiling blood could not be suppressed for a while, the soldiers in charge of the inner perimeter settled the prisoners who received them, and the soldiers on the periphery had already sharpened their knives, waiting for the arrival of the victorious army at any time. The atmosphere in the whole valley was solemn, and the captives who had been brought into the rear had just been settled, when they saw the soldiers around them in armor, like veins of water, rushing forward, they knew that the great battle was imminent, but in this land, thousands of people, were ready.

Such a team can defeat the victorious army...... In the hearts of many people, they think so.

Not long after, on the side of the foothills, I saw the riding shadow rushing through the wind and snow, swept along the white mountain road, one, two, and gradually to hundreds of horses, it was the elite riding team led by Qin Shaoqian, Ning Yi and others, gathered into a torrent, galloped back......

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

Fu Lu's figure ran through the mountains, like an electric light dissolved into the wind and snow, he followed the cavalry from a distance, and the two officers accompanying him, even though they had some martial arts, had already been left behind by him.

Just now between the snowy mountains, the confrontation between two thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of troops, the atmosphere was solemn and killing, and it was about to break out. But in the end, it didn't go in the direction of the showdown.

More than 2,000 people chose to appear on the snow ridge for the purpose of covering the infantry in the rear to intercept the Changsheng army, and in a moment, they had a huge pressure on the more than 10,000 Changsheng army. When the sheath and the saddle were flapped again and again, each time, it was as if it was accumulating the power to charge, and the army below was hunting with flags. But they didn't dare to move, their position was originally at the most suitable angle for the cavalry to charge the formation, once more than 2,000 people let their horses rush in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The generals in the Changsheng army are the strongest in terms of strength, but Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren are the strongest. There were also four thousand horsemen. It's just that as a light horse, the detour has lost the opportunity to outflank, and it is naturally impossible to rush up against the snow slope. The other side is using the method of one blow to the bottom, two to decline, and three to exhaust the morale of the victorious army, and in many cases, it is more uncomfortable to lead without triggering than to charge with the advantage. Fu Lu lay down in the snow, watching the confrontation between the two sides, the wind and snow and the slaughter pressed the heavens and the earth into darkness.

This is a confrontation that truly belongs to the strong army. Every slap of the horse team is neatly like a person, but because of the concentration of more than 2,000 people, the slap is so heavy that it seems to be knocking on everyone's heartbeat, and the other party is also like shouting and rushing over, consuming the opponent's mental strength, but in the end. They were still lined up in the snowstorm. Fu Lu followed Zhou Tong to run around the rivers and lakes and knew many bandits and horse bandits. When surrounding the prey, they will also force the besieged to surrender by slapping, but it is impossible to achieve such uniformity.

When the Changsheng army was a little unable to hold back, the cavalry on the snow ridge turned around almost at the same time, and disappeared from the field of vision of the army under the mountain with a neat pace.

This short period of confrontation made the two generals beside De Fulu look dry and hot, and they haven't reacted yet. Fowl had already scurried in the direction where the horses had disappeared.

Passing through the ridge ahead, after a short time, Fu Lu saw the valley between the snowy ridges, and the cavalry from before was circling from the side. On both sides of the view, wooden walls stretch along the foothills. Although the height of such a city defense is less than that of many small towns and towns, looking at the continuous fire in the valley and the appearance of swords and guns, it is clear that they have attracted the victorious army to defend here.

After the defeat, Xia Village was in the name of Qin Shaoqian, the second son of the right minister, and more than 10,000 people were gathered. But at this time, the momentum shown here is almost completely different from the appearance in the camp of the Wusheng Army.

Before this, Fu Lu was not unaware of the appearance of the Wu Dynasty army, on the contrary, Zhou Tong wanted to lead the army to fight and serve the country all his life, and they knew very well how the Wu Dynasty army was. It is also for this reason that Chen Yanshu enveloped him to help boost morale, although the role he can play is not big, Chen Yanshu has been cowering, the 30,000 troops in the garrison are not able to fight, he can understand everything, even if he wants to blame, there is no way to talk about it, on the contrary, if the army is not like this, it is really something that he did not expect.

However, the army in front of him, from the previous confrontation to the current situation, showed the war intent and murderous aura, all subverting this qiē idea.

After more than a month in the Wusheng Army, he already vaguely knew that Ning Yi and Ning Liheng were with Qin Shaoqian on the side of Xia Village. It's just that the capital is in danger and the national disaster is at the head, and he has too late to entrust Zhou Dong's affairs. At this time, he couldn't help but think of his previous dealings with this "heart demon". wanted to entrust Zhou Dong's news to him because Ning Yi was ruthless to those people in the green forest, but at this time, the matter of destroying tens of thousands of people in Liangshan, disaster relief and the world's gentry really appeared in his heart. This man, who seemed to be just the demon of the green forest and a wealthy businessman, didn't know what he had done here with that General Qin to turn the entire camp into what he was looking like in front of him.

What the hell are they trying to do......

Fu Lu looked into the distance, and at the end of the wind and snow was the embankment of the Yellow River. Unlike all the rout forces entrenched near Bianliang at this time, only this camp, they seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the Chang Sheng army and the Jurchens, and they were not even ready for enough retreat. More than 10,000 people, once the camp is broken, they don't even have the direction they can choose for the rout.

The cauldron is wrecked, and the mourning soldiers will win......

When this thought flashed through his heart, the sound of killing sounded like thunder in the valley over there......

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

Looking at the direction of the wind and snow, Ning Yi, Qin Shaoqian and others rode up to a high platform that had been built.

At this time, the news that the 2,000 cavalry had forced more than 10,000 victorious troops to dare not step forward with their momentum alone had also spread in the camp. No matter how strong the combat power is, defense is always cheaper than offense, outside the valley, as long as they can not fight, Ning Yi and the others will never recklessly start a war.

"Brothers! We're back! The voice of the voice spread along the wind and snow. On that high platform was the most stoic and fierce young man in this camp, and everyone knew that without him, everyone would never have achieved such a result as before. Therefore, as the voice sounded, someone waved and shouted in response, but immediately, the valley fell silent, and the words of the scholar named Ning Yi were also calm, even indifferent: "We have brought back your relatives and your enemies. Next, there is no chance of trimming. ”

"Outside the mountain. 11,000 resentful troops are coming, I don't want to judge how powerful they are, I just have to tell you, they will be more and more. There are still 25,000 people under the command of Guo Yaoshi, 10,000 people in Mu Huogang, and 57,000 people outside Bianliang City, I don't know how many people will come to attack us, and there is a chance of victory. ......Hold on," he said, "hold on." ”

"Survive this winter. When spring comes, victory will come. You don't have to think about retreat, you don't have to think about what you'll look like after you fail, two months ago, you suffered a humiliating defeat here, things like that. There won't be any more. This winter, every inch under your feet will be stained red with blood, either yours, or the enemy, the resentful army, or the Jurchens. I don't have to tell you how hard it is. For this is the hardest thing you can think of in the world, but I can tell you that I am with you when there is a river of blood here; All the generals here...... With the messy generals, with you; Your brothers, are with you; A million people in Bianliang are with you; This destiny of the world is with you. If you lose, you will be burned, and if you win, you will do the hardest thing in the world. ”

When he said about the messy generals, he waved his hand at the middle-level generals next to him, and no one laughed.

"So, including the victory, including all the mess, is what we have to think about. You are very lucky, there is only one thing you have to think about next, and that is that, next, no matter how many people come from outside, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Guo Yaoshi, Wanyan Zongwang, Resentment Army, Jurchens, whether it is a thousand people, ten thousand people, even if it is a hundred thousand people, you bury them all here, with your hands, feet, weapons, and teeth, until you can no longer bury people here, until you walk in blood, and your bones and internal organs are drowned all the way to your feet and neck-"

On the wooden platform, Ning Yi's high-pitched voice rolled out along the wind and snow, and at this moment, he paused, and then, quietly and simply, finished speaking.

He said, "Kill." ”

There was silence for a moment, and then the people nearby said, "Kill!" ”

The voices of everyone in the rear also sounded: "Kill-"

There was another moment of silence, and the voices of nearly 20,000 people were like thunderous roars: "Killing ――――――――――――" swept the entire sky and clouds, and the earth was trembling.

Under the ice of the Yellow River, there is a turbulent undercurrent. Soon after, the figure of the victorious army appeared outside the valley.

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

Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren watched the condition of the camp on the snowy slope.

In front of the camp, there was indeed an open road, but at the front, piles of snow, horses, and trenches formed a difficult area to charge, which extended into the interior of the camp.

However, the camp wall is not high, and it is not easy to build a defensive line in a hurry, even if there are wooden thorns and guns in some places, the blocking effect that can be played is probably not as good as the wall of a small city.

"Why did they choose to stay here?"

“…… Because the Yellow River is in the rear? ”

It wasn't long before Liu Shunren thought about it.

When Zong Wang went to attack Bianliang, the task given to the resentful army was to find out the force that wanted to break the Yellow River. However, in this matter, the Wu Dynasty army was clear of all kinds of strong walls, and many cities near Bianliang were abandoned, and after the army was defeated, any strong city could be chosen to garrison, but the army in front of him chose such a valley with no back road. There is an answer, which is about to come out.

Previously, the Jurchens may have collected information around Bianliang, but after a period of time, it was determined that after the Wu Dynasty army was dispersed, the army's morale collapsed even more, and everyone no longer paid too much attention to them. At this time, when I got up, I realized that the place in front of me really matched the description of the Yellow River.

On the other hand, at the beginning on the banks of the Chaobai River, Guo Yaoshi originally wanted to compete with Zongwang's army. The betrayal of Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren made him have to surrender to Zongwang, even if he has accepted his fate at this time, it is impossible to say that he has no suspicion with these two brothers. In the case of doing things under the hands of the Jurchens, they are wary of each other. If you can remove this trouble for Zongwang, it will be a great achievement.

"However, it is said that there are nearly 20,000 troops stationed here, and as far as I can see, the combat strength is not bad, and our troops are only more than 10,000 people, if they resist desperately, I am afraid that they will hurt their vitality......" After discussion, Zhang Linghui was still a little worried.

The two thousand cavalry who had just blocked their way. The momentum is amazing, especially the kind of coordination that everyone beats together, which is by no means possible for ordinary armies. You must know that on the battle array, blood and qi are surging, even if the general army is trained, it is inevitable that some people will not be able to hold the rhythm of their companions because of their surging hearts in wartime, Zhang Linghui and others have been fighting on the battlefield for half their lives. Fang Cai was certainly frightened, but he was also waiting for the other party's momentum to be a little chaotic. This side will attack.

However, until the end, the other party did not show any flaws, at that time Zhang Linghui and others couldn't help but take action, and the other party suddenly retreated, and this confrontation was equivalent to the other party's victory. The next half day. If their troops want to fight with others, they may have a psychological shadow, and it is for this reason that they did not chase after them, but drove the troops behind unhurriedly.

If all the opposing troops have such a vegetarian zhì, they will be able to eat themselves up in a frontal battle. What's more, they also have a defensive advantage.

"But...... The army of the Wu Dynasty was defeated and scattered before, and if it had such combat strength at the beginning, it would never have been defeated like this. If it were you and me, even if we had elite soldiers at hand in the future, if we wanted to sneak attack Mu Huogang, how could we dare to stay in the situation of insufficient troops? Liu Shunren analyzed, "Therefore, I conclude that in this valley, there are only more than 4,000 soldiers who are good at fighting, and the rest are all composed of defeated soldiers, I am afraid that they will not even dare to pull them out." Otherwise, how could they take a risky blow with 4,000 against 10,000? ”

The Jurchen army was the strongest army in the world at this time, with more than 10,000 people guarding the Mouhuo Gang, no matter how powerful and arrogant the people were, as long as they still had the strength in their hands, I am afraid they would not use 4,000 people to sneak attack. In this calculation, the composition of the army in the valley is also about to come out.

It is certainly possible to be brought up by 4,000 elite soldiers with 16,000 weak soldiers mixed with 4,000 elite soldiers, but if the others are too weak, it is really difficult to say who is stronger and weaker between the 20,000 people and the simple 4,000 people. Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were both people who understood the situation of the Wu Dynasty, and that night, the army was encamped, calculating the possibility of victory or defeat, and in the early morning of the next day, the army launched an attack towards the Xiacun Valley.

The wind and snow are still falling, in the night sky, it is still black, the defenders of Xia Village, who have been waiting all night, have already discovered the movement of the resentful army, people's mouths are full of white steam, some people wipe their faces with snow, and they bark on Bai Sensen's teeth, soldiers draw bows and set up shields, and some people move their arms and make short shouts of "ah" in the dark.

After two months, the life and death of the war once again rushed up like a tide.

There's no going back......

Ning Yi walked in the crowd: "The herald is ready to open fire." ”

"No." Qin Shaoqian, Yue Fei and the others all retorted in an instant, Qin Shaoqian looked at the young general next to him, there was some approval in his eyes, Yue Fei arched his hand and retreated to the back.

"Why?"

"Seer blood." Qin Shaoqian said, "There is blood on both sides. ”

…… Only by seeing blood can we instantly understand the cruelty of war.

Ning Yi nodded, he still didn't know enough about war after all.

The first round of arrows rose in the darkness, passed through the sky on both sides, and then fell, some on the ground, some on the shield...... Someone fell.

In the dimness, the bloody aura spread, Ning Yi looked back, there was only a few fires in the entire valley, and all the people seemed to be condensed into one, in such a dimness, the sound of screams became extremely abrupt and infiltrating, and the person in charge of treatment rushed over and dragged them down. Ning Yi heard someone shouting, "It's okay!" It's okay! Don't touch me! I'm just a little wounded in my leg, and I can still kill! ”

On the snowfield outside the camp wall, the footsteps rustled and became intense, even if he didn't go to a high place to look, Ning Yi could know that the resentful soldiers holding shields rushed over, and the shouts first came from afar, and gradually, like a sea tide rushing over, converging into a violent roar!

After two rounds of bows and arrows, a whistling sound slammed into the camp wall. The wooden barracks walls that are only tall and tall actually do not play a major role in blocking such a desperate battlefield. At this moment of hand-to-hand combat, the shouts within the wall suddenly sounded: "Kill-" tore through the night! Huge rocks hit the tide! The ladder was erected on the camp wall, and the hook flew up, and these Beidi soldiers outside the Yanmen Pass held shields, shouting, surging and pounced, and in the camp wall, the soldiers who had undergone a large number of monotonous training in these days shot guns, knives, and shot up and down with the same fierce attitude, and in the blink of an eye, on the front line of contact, the blood wave burst open......

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Jinghan, on the first day of December, in the early morning, on the crumbling Bianliang City, a new day of war had not yet begun, and another decisive battle in the Xiacun Valley, nearly thirty miles away from here, had quietly unfolded with the attack of Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren as the fuse. At this time, not many people realized the importance of this battlefield, and many eyes were staring at the fierce and dangerous Bianliang city defense, even if they occasionally cast their eyes over, they only thought that this place in Xia Village had finally attracted the attention of the resentful army and launched a retaliatory attack.

For the fighting, bravery and stupidity here, in the eyes of everyone, there are those who laugh, those who regret, and those who respect. No matter what kind of mood they have, it is an indisputable fact that the rest of the teams near Bianliang can no longer relieve the siege of the capital in such a situation. As for whether Xia Cun can play a big role in this combat effectiveness, at least at the beginning, no one has such expectations. Especially when Guo Yaoshi cast his eyes on this side and threw all the more than 36,000 people of the resentful army into this battlefield, for the war here, everyone just hoped that they would be able to hold out for how many days before they were defeated and surrendered.

In any case, on the first day of December, among the military departments of the capital, Qin Siyuan received the last message from Xia Village: Our department has entered the battle as scheduled, and from this time on, the capital and Xia Village are all one, life is the same life, death is the same death, I hope that the princes of the capital will cherish it, and after this battle, we will see each other again.

This message is both simple and strange, it is like Ning Yi's tone, and it is like Qin Shaoqian's speech, like a subordinate sent to his boss, a colleague to a colleague, and like a son who is away from home sending it to his father. Qin Siyuan received it when he walked out of the lobby of the military headquarters, and after reading this information, he put it in his sleeve and stopped under the eaves. The attendant saw the old man standing there on crutches, and in front of him was a chaotic street, where soldiers and galloping horses came and went, and everything was muddy and snowy. The old man faced this qiē, the back of his hand was full of bulging green tendons, his lips were pursed, his eyes were firm and majestic, and there was a little ferocity mixed with it.

These days, his expression is like this most of the time, he is like fighting against a qiē difficulty, with the Jurchens, with heaven and earth, with his body, no one can defeat him in such a gaze.

And it seems that no one can defeat this city until he is defeated.

The siege of the Jurchens continued.

After this, there are many, many people who will not say goodbye...... (To be continued......)
