Winter has arrived, and moisture has risen in the mountains.

The Sword Pavilion changed its flag, and among the mountains to the southeast of the Sword Pavilion, the military camp of the Jin Kingdom stretched, and there was no end in sight.

The various military flags are mixed and mixed, the most is the pennant painted with the red sun in Phnom Penh, and the rest of the five-color iron tower, dragon pattern black edge, etc., are the flags of the pure Jurchen army.

In addition, the Xi people, the Liao people, and the Liaodong Han people each have different banners. Some take the totems of Haidongqing, wolf, black magpie and so on as the number, guarding a huge handsome flag. Each handsome flag symbolizes the name of a heroic man who once shocked the world.

Among them, the 20,000 Jurchen Yanshan Guards who were once under the command of the God of War Wanyan Lou and the more than 10,000 directly subordinate troops who resigned from their command still retain their establishment. For a few years, under Zong Han's men, the banners of the two armies were dyed white, and they trained endlessly, and regarded this southern expedition as a shameful battle, and the one who directly led them was the king of Baoshan, Wanyan Xiebao.

The Huaxia army had an enmity with the Jurchens, and the Jurchens also regarded the sacrifice of Lou and the resignation as a great shame. All the way to the south, this army is waiting to repay the blood debt of the Huaxia army that the lord will be killed.

After a few days of operation of the Chinese army, on the morning of this day, the most important civil and military generals in the Central and Western Route Army of the Southern Expedition arrived.

In addition to Xi Yin and Yinshuke, who were still presiding over the affairs of the Eastern Front at this time, the Jurchen generals gathered here at present, led by Wanyan Zonghan, and under them were Bali Su, Wanyan Saba, Zhenzhu King Wanyan Sheyema, Baoshan King Wanyan Xiebao, Gao Qingyi, Zhen Lili, Da Lai, and Yu Yu...... Most of the middle are veterans who participated in the first or second southern expeditions, and in addition, Hanchen Han Qi, which is highly used by Zonghan, is in charge of materials, grain and grass management.

In addition, there were many Wu Dynasty generals who surrendered to the Jurchens along the way, such as Li Huan, Guo Turan, and Hou Ji...... and so on, to be summoned and attend the meeting.

A huge map depicting the conditions of places from Jiange to Chengdu was hung up, and the person in charge of explaining it was a descendant of Gao Qing, who was both civil and military. Compared with the thoughtful Hanchen Han Qixian, Gao Qingyi's personality is strong and strong, and he is the most capable foreign minister under Zong Han. In the plan of this southern expedition, Zong Han and Xi Yin originally planned to use him to stay in Yunzhong, but later they brought him with them to lead the 30,000 Bohai elite soldiers in the southern expedition.

"The Sword Pavilion has been ordered, and the big battle is imminent!"

Walking in front of everyone, Gao Qingyi's eyebrows in soft armor are extremely thick, he used to be a Liao minister, and later he had to be reused under Zong Han, he cultivated literature in peacetime, and he could lead the army to charge the battle in wartime, which was an extremely rare talent. The deepest impression of everyone about him may be his perennial drooping eyebrows, at first glance he looks godless, he has a murderous aura when he opens his eyes, and once he makes a move, he acts decisively, vigorously and resolutely, and is extremely difficult.

"In the past few days, you have all been ready to fight with the so-called Huaxia Army, and today's meeting of the commander is to tell you that this battle is close at hand. After you have passed the Sword Pavilion, every move, please act in accordance with military law, and if you exceed the slightest transgression, military law will not be merciful. This is, a precursor to the war. ”

Gao Qingyi's eyebrows swept over the rear of the camp without overly aggravating his tone, and then he picked up the pole and set his eyes on the map in the rear.

"In front of us, the Fifth Chinese Army of Black Flag guarding the southwest, with a total of 60,000, has now fully advanced to the line of Zizhou, Huangming County, and Yushuixi. The area of more than 40 miles from Huangming, Yushuixi to Zizhou at the forefront is the most critical section of this southern expedition. ”

He drew a circle with a wooden pole, from Jiange to Zizhou, the total distance is 100 miles, there are two roads, Huangming County, Yushuixi is close to the boundary point of these two roads. The Huaxia army pressed the front line here, obviously, not only planning to fight a defensive battle in Zizhou.

For the veteran generals who have been fighting for many years, this time the strategy adopted by the other side is a relatively difficult situation to understand. The Jurchen West Route Army originally had 300,000 people in the south, and there were injuries on the way, and the main force that arrived at the Sword Pavilion was only about 200,000, but on the way, several Wu Dynasty troops were collected, and two or three hundred thousand Han civilians were captured near the Sword Pavilion as cannon fodder.

On the opposite side, the main force of the Huaxia Army was only more than 60,000.

It is not enough to defend the city, not to mention pushing the battle line halfway, even if there are many mountains and dangerous passes between Sword Pavilion and Zizhou, if you want to defend, where is it better than the city wall.

But in the face of the Huaxia Army before this "last battle", the Jurchen generals did not blindly support it, at least at this meeting, Gao Qingyi did not intend to comment on it. He had a slab with the list on the side of the map.

"In the Black Flag Army, the Fifth Army of China is the main force under Ning Yi, and their army name is different from that of the Wu Dynasty and my Dajindu, and the army is called a division, followed by a brigade and a regiment...... The general of the Fifth Division, He Zhicheng, a native of Ninghua, Hedong, was a general in the Wurui Battalion under Qin Shaoqian during the Jinghan period, and later rebelled with Ning Yi. In the first battle of Xiaocanghe, he was the deputy marshal of the Huaxia Army, and he finally evacuated south with Ning Yi. Looking at his use of troops, step by step, there are no bright spots, but you should not be careless, he is the most comfortable chess used by Ning Yi, against him, you will face Ning Yi. ”

"The first division under the Fifth Army, division commander Han Jing, was originally the leader of Qingmu Village in Luliang Mountain, and now he is the head of the Luliang Mountain family in the Chinese Army. As far as we know, this is the earliest place for Ning Yi to train his troops, and the first battle of Bianliang was when this person led two thousand Aoki cavalry to the south, and the bottom of the kettle drew pay to attack Mu Huogang...... This person is agile and agile, has strong adaptability, has a strategic understanding of the overall situation, and is extremely difficult, once the war starts left and right, this person is very likely to be arranged into a reserve team to respond to the rescue. ”

“…… The Fifth Army of China, the Second Division, the division commander Pang Liu'an, the former general of the Wurui Battalion, Qin Shaoqian rebelled against the lineage, looking at this person's use of troops, steady, good at defending, not good at attacking, good at frontal combat, but not to underestimate the enemy, according to previous information, the second division has the most iron artillery, if it really fights head-on, against its iron artillery array, I am afraid that no one can rush in front of him...... Against this person, there needs to be a surprise soldier. ”

"The third division, division commander Liu Chengzong, took people to Xuzhou last year, and transferred to the Liangshan area in September this year, which is a trouble for His Royal Highness King Lu (Wan Yanchang). There are several generals under Qin Shaoqian of Wurui Battalion, only this person is handsome, if he is here, he may be the most difficult group of people to deal with, but now, don't pay attention to him. ”

"The commander of the Fourth Division, Qu Zhengyan, this is the descendant of the Black Flag Army who joined it after the rebellion, and was promoted by Ning Yi, after Wu Jingping, he joined the Black Flag Army, starting from the bottom soldiers, and quickly rose up during the war between the northwest and Xiaocanghe for several years."

“…… Now the generals of the Huaxia Army, most of them are still meritorious ministers who started with Ning Yi, the generals of the Wurui Battalion, He Zhicheng, Li Yi, Pang Liuan, and Liu Chengzong are all in high positions, if it is really immortal, there were no bright spots in the Wurui Battalion under them back then, and later Qin Shaoqian relied on his father's background, concentrated on training, and then to the battle of Xia Village, Ning Yi used hard means to arouse some of their ambition. These people can now have the corresponding status and ability, it can be said that Ning Yi and others know how to make good use of people, and slowly bring them out, but this is not the same......

After joining the Black Flag Army, this person first rose to prominence in the war with the Western Xia, but at that time he only made meritorious contributions to become the leader of the first squad of the Black Flag Army, that is, the commander of the ten. It was not until the end of the three-year war that Xiaocanghe gradually entered the field of vision, in the three-year war, he was active in Luliang, the northwest regions, several times in danger, and later incorporated a large number of Central Plains Han army, to the end of the three-year war, this person led nearly 10,000 troops, of which seventy percent was hastily incorporated into the Central Plains army, but under his hands, it was also able to make some achievements. ”

Gao Qingyi's eyes swept around, and he paused slightly: "Back then, he did not lose his marshal to lead the army to attack the northwest and break Yanzhou, Ning Yi led his troops to quickly outflank, and General Da Cheng led more than 10,000 troops to attack nearby, and wanted to attack Ning Yi with Ci Bu Lose, but was blocked by a Chinese army, although the combat power of this army was not strong, but the interception and harassment were endless, and finally dragged General Da Cheng for a day and a night, so that Ning Yi broke the city from the secret road, and died in Yanzhou. ”

"The army at that time was a group of Central Plains soldiers hastily formed by Qu Zhengyan, of which there were less than 2,000 trained Huaxia troops...... These news were later inquired into in many ways under the auspices of Lord Ceres, and it was only then that they were clarified. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone present couldn't help but be moved. Da Cheng clenched his hands into fists, his eyes were resolute, but he didn't say anything, at that time, in order to avenge Lou Mur, he led a large army to conquer the northwest, he was one of the deputy generals, to the Xiaocang River break, he was killed, the northwest was really killed to the point of blood, the two sides come and go, never die.

At that time, the Huaxia army had already killed the red eyes, people were less than one day, and the morale was higher than one day, in the face of the Jurchen offensives in turn, the Central Plains came one after another reinforcements, and the Huaxia army continued to counterattack, really with a sense of despair to pull the whole world to be buried.

For such a madman, a little sensible people can't help but feel afraid, the millions of Han troops in the Central Plains were frightened in the later period, and after the death, Da Cheng was ordered to take the Jurchen army and the Huaxia army to deal around, and he was also thinking about how not to be pulled by these guys.

Of course, later they learned that in the second half of the Xiaocanghe War, Ning Yi was already arranging to move south, and he planted spies among the millions of Han troops to launch a public opinion war, exaggerating that the Huaxia Army had given up all the atmosphere of pulling people to accompany the funeral, and secretly took advantage of the power of killing without losing his power to transfer power. Da Cheng and the others were confused by the fierce offensive on the front line, and finally failed to stop the Huaxia army from escaping south.

After that, although he, Yinshuke and others led the army to slaughter the entire northwest land to vent their anger, this whole thing was still the most unforgettable shame in his life.

Against the Huaxia Army, against the battle Qu Zhengyan, Da Cheng had already asked for battle several times in private, so he naturally didn't say much at this time. Everyone exchanged a sentence or two in a low voice, and Gao Qingyi continued.

“…… This Qu Zhengyan was regarded as Ning Yi's disciple in the Huaxia Army, and he had participated in Ning Yi's teachings, but he was able to do such a thing on the battlefield because of his own talent. This person is not strong in force, but in terms of the use of troops, he has won the magic of 'Han Xin's troops, the more the merrier', which should not be underestimated, and may even be the most difficult general in the Southwest Huaxia Army. ”

“…… In addition, the Fourth Division of the Fifth Army of China, which is rumored to be known as the Special Operations Division, is the chief of staff Chen Tian, who advises and implements military affairs for Qu Zhengyan, is Ning Yi's disciple. ”

“…… The Fifth Division of the Fifth Army, the division commander Yu Zhongdao, a native of the Northwest, was born in the Western Army, and can be regarded as a minister of the orphan after the death of the species. This person is not conspicuous in the Western Army, and he has not had too outstanding achievements after joining the Huaxia Army, but he manages military affairs in an orderly manner, and Ning Yi is also like an arm in command of the Fifth Division. Before the Huaxia army went out of Liangshan and fought against the battle of Luqiao Mountain, the main attack was the third and fifth divisions of Huaxia, and the army of 100,000 Wu Dynasty, which was devastating and decaying, and it was not troublesome. If we underestimate the enemy, we may not be much better in the future. ”

"In addition, news came from the west that the 20,000 elites of the Dayang tribe arranged by Ning Yi at the junction of Tubo and Dali had already pulled out the camp and marched eastward, and more than 20,000 people were all involved in the Battle of Xiaocanghe, and most of them were the last elite teams to evacuate. Lord Ceres sent envoys to try to instigate Guo Yaoshi, who is now hiding in Tibet, to copy the bottom of Dayang...... But Pharmacist Guo's color changed when he heard it, and he didn't dare to do it......"

Gao Qingyi told about the participants of this war, and now the top of the Huaxia Army - this is just the beginning, the Jurchens may have a lot of discussions on weekdays, but the generals of the Wu Dynasty who surrendered in the rear can't help but be stunned.

For many things in the Huaxia army, their understanding is not as detailed as Gao Qingyi, and in this piece of information, it can be imagined that the preparations made by the Jurchens for this war have begun in all aspects as early as a few years ago.

In the past ten years, although there are often people in the Wu Dynasty who sing about the decline of the Jin Kingdom, saying that they will quickly come to the end of being born in sorrow and dying in peace, this southern expedition proves that their strength has not been attenuated too much. And from the attention of the generals such as Zong Han and Gao Qingyi, they can gradually see clearly what kind of outline and face the black flag on the opposite side has......

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

After the morning combat meeting, the troops of the Second Division of the Fifth Army were to be transferred from Zizhou.

At noon, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Huaxia Army gathered in a long shed on the side of the barracks, which served as a canteen, and officers and soldiers were discussing what might happen in this big battle.

On the side of the long shed, Ning Yi and many high-level officers also sat down to dine here, Li Yi, chief of the General Staff, Pang Liuan, commander of the Second Division, Han Jing, commander of the First Division, Qu Zhengyan of the Fourth Division, and others gathered here, in addition, there were some brigades and regiment commanders of the Second Division. The people gathered together to discuss the war, but they did not shy away from the soldiers around them.

"This battle is actually not easy to fight......

"It's been so many years, and I haven't seen a good fight."

"From the time Yan Agu was killed to the present, there are still alive among the founding heroes of the Jin Kingdom, and they are basically here...... Well, only Wu Qimai, Xi Yin, and Yinshu are missing, ......"

"The main force is 200,000, and the surrendered Han army casually gathers 200,000 or 300,000, 500,000...... They are also not afraid of being squeezed to death on the road. ”

"They also arrested hundreds of thousands of people, which adds up to a step, haha."

"It's okay to be optimistic, don't underestimate the enemy...... Bali Su, Saba, Yu Yu, Shen Lili, Gao Qingyi, Zonghan family...... They are all veteran generals who attacked Bianliang ten years ago, and there are countless lives on their hands, which are not comparable to the old soldiers. The trees that laughed at them before are now bearing fruit. ”

"There's no underestimating the enemy, I'm sweating on my hands right now, look at it, but ah, it's all clear, there's no way back...... Half a million people, they don't necessarily win. ”

"No, who's going to plant trees on their graves......"

“…… I have to think about it this way, Xiaocanghe fought for three years, and then shrank here for five or six years, and the Central Plains fell into a piece, so it's time for us to be in the limelight. Otherwise, when people talk about it, they all say that the Huaxia Army, lucky, rebelled and ran to the northwest, Xiaocanghe couldn't beat it, ran all the way to the southwest, and then hit Luqiao Mountain, many people think it doesn't count...... Here's your chance. ”

"Theoretically speaking, there is a huge disparity in troops, and it is indeed safer to defend the city......"

"There's no way...... Fifty or sixty thousand people, together with Mr. Ning, were all stationed in Zizhou, and it was true that they couldn't defeat it, but if I were Zong Han, I would use elite troops to surround Zizhou, and all the troops of the Wu Dynasty would be put behind Zizhou, burning, killing and looting. Zizhou is a flat river in the future, we can only watch, that is a dead word. Playing more with less is nothing more than taking advantage of the terrain to muddy the waters, and see if you can touch some fish in the future...... For example, touch the fish of Zong Han's two sons, hehehehehe......"

"Hey...... Your Fourth Army has a bad stomach, this idea can be fought......"

"This is called attacking and saving, confidential, confidential...... ......"

"Yes, yes...... ......"

Among the middle and high-ranking officers in China, the basic ideas of this war have been unified, and the conversation at the dinner table at this time is of course not really secret, it is nothing more than that everyone is nervous before the war, and the officers of several different armies have met casual ridicule.

Ning Yi does not stop this kind of thing, and occasionally he will participate in it and pour some bad water. Seeing that the regiment commander and staff officers at the next table were messing around, he and Han Jing, Qu Zhengyan and others were also ridiculing.

When the Jurchens came, it was not realistic to defend Zizhou, so they could only move forward from Zizhou and make a fuss with the rugged mountains and forests first. The second division led by Pang Liu'an was the main force to block the attack, and the camp was pulled out in the afternoon, and after the second division pulled out the camp, it was followed by a pack horse team composed of more than 5,000 people, which was originally the full horse belongings of the Commercial Department of the Huaxia Army, and now it is under the command of Han Jing.

Although there is the Chengdu Plain in the southwest, but outside the Chengdu Plain, are all rugged mountain roads, and the need to take such a mountain road is a short-legged Yunnan horse, although the battlefield is not easy to use, but the victory is outstanding in endurance, suitable for taking mountain roads and dangerous roads. On the battlefield from Zizhou to Sword Pavilion, if there is any urgent need for rescue, this horse team will provide the best transportation capacity.

In the Huaxia Army, Han Jing used his soldiers smartly and also commanded the horse team, which was suitable for being a firefighting team in the middle, but in the past few days, Qu Zhengyan, the commander of the Fourth Division, has entangled him, and he has divided 300 horses with him in vain, and then wants to ask for 200 more. Every day, he pestered Han Jing and said: "I have an idea, it is likely to be useful in the future, Brother Han consider helping me ......"

For Qu Zhengyan, a "little old man" who has a sad face all day long and is thinking about things seriously, Han Jing is sometimes willing to help, and sometimes he is more broken: "What are you kidding, for a plan like this, when the time and place are right, and the people are all worthy of it, I will give the order to the company level, you go away, you go away, you let the people below concentrate on the war, okay!" ”

"No, Master Han, I just chose those points on the side you guarded, the Jurchens are very likely to be fooled, you just need to say hello to a few regimental cadres you arranged in advance, I have a way to send a signal, you can take a look at our plan......"

"Look at you ball, it's too complicated, I can't understand it."

"No, no, Master Han is flexible and eclectic in his use of soldiers, and he just cooperates...... Cooperate with it. ”

"Lao Tzu used to be a bandit! I don't understand the calculations of you scholars! Don't praise me! ”

“…… Then you will divide me two hundred horses. ”

“…… I'm ......" Han Jing was so angry that he couldn't do it, "I'll give you a ball!" ”

This kind of thing happened occasionally, Han Jing took advantage of the meal to come to Ning Yi to complain, Ning Yi waved his hand and did not participate: "It's none of my business, it's not my business, or you can beat him, Qu Zhengyan won't beat him if he looks at it......"

In fact, this kind of thing is not nonsense, in the Huaxia Army, this division commander's style of acting is relatively special. Rather than a soldier, more often than not, he is like a chess player who is taking a long exam at any time, with a thin body, frowning, and a serious expression, he has an extremely outstanding talent in commanding, training, commanding, and strategizing, which is a trait that emerged in Xiaocanghe's several years of war.

In the most brutal war in those three years, the members of the Huaxia Army were training and dying, and there were many talents sharpened in the middle, and Qu Zhengyan was the most eye-catching group. He first took over the position of platoon commander in a big battle, and then rescued several staff members led by Chen Tian, and then captured hundreds of courageous Han troops in the Central Plains, and put them into the battlefield after a little reorganization and intimidation.

With the foundation of these hundreds of Han troops, he rescued hundreds of trapped Chinese soldiers, and then the two sides fought side by side. In the brutal running and fighting, Qu Zhengyan's strategic and tactical judgment of the enemy was almost perfect, and then with the assistance of Chen Tian and others, he walked on the edge of life and death again and again, and sometimes even seemed to be deliberately testing the bottom line of Lord Yama.

For example, with a team of less than 2,000 people, more than 7,000 Han troops in the Central Plains were instigated to attack the main force of Dalai, and these 2,000 people were also divided into two groups, one group pretending to be the main force and the other group pretending to be reinforcements. In the most dangerous battles fought by Xiaocanghe, he pretended to be a god and a ghost, not only to deceive the enemy, but also to deceive himself - of course, the most deceived were the surrendered Han army, and the survivors of these Han troops are now all official members of the Huaxia Army.

This time and again, the tightrope is just helpless, many times with only a millimeter difference, maybe his side will collapse on the whole line, but every time Qu Zhengyan succeeds in fishing, sometimes Ning Yi is stunned by his operation, and he feels a chill down his spine in retrospect.

It is also because of such a record that after the end of the Xiaocanghe War, Qu Zhengyan was promoted to brigade commander, and later the strength increased, so it was logical to go to the position of division commander.

The success of Qu Zhengyan's actions is naturally not just luck, one is his judgment and grasp of battlefield planning and the enemy's intentions, and the second is his clear understanding and control of his soldiers. In this regard, Ning Yi pays more attention to achieving these with data, but in Qu Zhengyan, he is more of a pure talent, he is more like a calm chess player, accurately recognizing the enemy's intentions, accurately grasping the use of the chess pieces in his hand, and accurately putting them into the right position.

On the other hand, it is the assistance of Chen Tian and others in the General Staff Department.

Ning Yi's lectures in the Huaxia Army were more important than art in the early stage and more important than Taoism in the later stage. Chen Tian, Tang Minjie and others were all born in the tendency of emphasizing the technique in the early stage, and they analyzed various means, emphasized the goal, and did everything to achieve the goal...... In the staff headquarters of the Fourth Division, Ning Yi has many students, and his usual creed is "there are no ideas that cannot be used, just look at how you implement them", Chen Tian is a pragmatist, frowning all day long and thinking about how to implement various ideas.

They don't pursue brainstorming, but no matter what kind of problem it is, Chen Tian only thinks about implementation, and he may be called a master of action in later generations. is also assisted by Chen Tian, and Qu Zhengyan's many acts of death can be implemented more appropriately.

The pair frowns all day long, and is occasionally described by Ning Yi as a sad-faced duo, but Qu Zhengyan is more like a simple chess player, others have a positive view of him, and Chen Tian occasionally smiles contentedly after the success of the plan, and is considered "a slut" by a group of people.

There are a lot of plans and plans of the Fourth Division, some can only be completed by themselves, and some need to cooperate with friendly forces, Qu Zhengyan came to harass Han Jing, in fact, it is also a way of communication, if the plan is reliable, Han Jing knows it, if Han Jing is fiercely opposed, Qu Zhengyan also has enough understanding of the attitude and tendency of the First Division.

He also harassed Pang Liuan and Yu Zhongdao before, Pang Liuan was magnificent, Yu Zhongdao was generous, and the negotiations between the two sides were not as dramatic as between them and Han Jing.

"By the way, I still have an idea, I didn't make it clear before......"

"Say you're a ball, it's time to eat."

"Over there, in the battle of Xiaocanghe, I was supposed to rescue Yanzhou, I dragged him for a day and a night, but he was slaughtered by the teacher, he must be unwilling, this time I don't meet him, I will consider going to the right when he goes to the left, he goes to the right, I choose the left. If anything, Brother Han will help me hold him back. I'll just say this, of course, when it comes to going to war, the overall situation is still important. ”

"What? Are you afraid of him? ”

Chen Tian said that it is easier to dry him first. I think it makes sense. ”

“…… Hehe, you're really in a bad stomach. ”

“…… We also had an idea that he showed up and could use me as bait to lure him in. ”

“…… Well, how? ”

"The battle situation is changing rapidly, and the specifics will be discussed when the time comes, but I have to run faster. General Han divided me with another 200 horses......"

“…… You go away. ”

"It's all for Huaxia."

Qu Zhengyan frowned, with a sincere expression.

In this way, the two sides pulled each other's skins, and Ning Yi occasionally participated in them. Soon after, the people were in a joking mood, and the troops on the barracks and school grounds formed a phalanx, and the soldiers' ears echoed the words of mobilization, and their relatives in the rear may be thought of in their minds.

The smoke was solemn and murderous, and the main force of the second division was opened. Ning Yi, Li Yi, Qu Zhengyan, Han Jing and others stood on the wooden platform on the side of the road and saluted solemnly.

On the front line dozens of miles away, there were already troops garrisoning. In the more complex and vast mountains, the scouts' clashes and fights have been unfolding and continuing for several days......

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

In the big tent of the Jurchen military camp, Gao Qingyi dropped the wooden pole on the map.

“…… At this time, our scouts were already in the mountains and forests within a range of 30 to 60 miles to the southwest, and they were in close contact with the scouts of the Black Flag Army. According to the scouts, almost all of the roads they can walk in the southwestern mountains and forests have been mined......"

“…… In recent years, the Black Flag Army has developed in the southwest, with the strongest firearms, and it is not afraid of soil mines in head-on battles, and it drives the Han people for a while. But if you are caught off guard by this earthmine array, the situation can be very dangerous......"

When Gao Qingyi said this, Zong Han in the rear looked at the people in the camp tent and spoke: "If the Huaxia army relies too much on this soil mine, in the mountains in the southwest, you can make an extra trip." ”

"What the marshal said is very true." Gao Qingyi nodded, and then raised the pole again, "In addition to the earth mines, those who rely on the Huaxia army are first of all the iron cannons, the Huaxia army is very powerful, and the iron cannons on the opposite side may have a range of more than ten steps for us......"

“…… Just like our side, at this time in the Huaxia army, there are already a large number of hand-thrown fire mines, thrown with one hand, up to dozens of steps, against this thing, the infantry is no longer powerful......"

“…… Moreover, all generals need to be careful, in the Huaxia army, there are special muskets, and the projectile can be fired as far as a hundred feet. According to the spies' report, the Huaxia army is fortunate to launch this thing in the dense forest, so when the armies are advancing, the scouts with the army must be scattered, and the hidden dangers in the clear space should not be taken lightly......"

“…… Hot air balloon ......"

“…… Musket array ......"

In the huge tent, Gao Qingyi listed the killer weapons possessed by the Huaxia army on the opposite side one by one, and the sound seemed to knock on the bottom of everyone's heart, and the Han generals in the rear gradually changed color, and the generals of the Jin army in front mostly showed bloodthirsty and resolute looks.

The wind blew, and there seemed to be mist flowing in the mountains, and the scouts of the Jin Kingdom, who had been old hunters, walked cautiously through the forest, and when they saw unusual movements and landscapes, they threw stones. The scouts of the Huaxia Army, armed with long knives, were also sneaking over from different places.

Occasionally, there will be explosions of earth mines, and sometimes even rare birds in the forest will be seen flying.

These voices are the prelude to this great war.

In the stretching barracks where hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed, the Jurchens had made all the preparations, which was an accumulation that had begun several years ago under the auspices of Zong Han, Xi Yin and others. After Gao Qingyi explained the whole situation one by one, Wanyan Zonghan stood up from his seat, and then began his formation......

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

North of the Yellow River, the Third Division of the Fifth Army of China led by Liu Chengzong had already crossed the Daimyo's Mansion.

In a rescue of Wang Shanyue and others last year, the Shandong Division of the Huaxia Army led by Zhu Biao was damaged by more than half in the Daimyo's Mansion, and the Jurchens slaughtered the city again, causing a plague. Today, the city is just a lonely moon, bleak ruins.

The army paid tribute to the dead comrades in front of the ruins, and then turned to Liangshanbo, which was still surrounded by the Han army, and wanted to attack Zhu Biao, Wang Shanyue and others inside Liangshan to cut through this blockade.

Along the way, there was starvation all over the ground, and Shandong was already a hell for adults.

……

Jindi's counterattack has begun.

At the beginning of October, Yu Yulin led his troops back to Weisheng, and Liao Yiren and others fled in panic.

Lou Shuwan returned to the city where she had once invested infinite enthusiasm, and at this time, the city that had been burned by the fire had not yet recovered, and there were only a few hungry people like lonely ghosts in the ruins of the flames.

But soon after, hearing the news that the female minister had returned to Wasion, the hungry people in the vicinity gradually began to converge in the direction of Wasion. For the Jin land, Liao Yiren and other big clans continued to recruit troops and exploit them endlessly in order to achieve victory, but only this bodhisattva-hearted woman would care about everyone's livelihood - people have begun to know this.

The fields that had been cultivated have been deserted, and the splendid palaces have collapsed, but as long as there are people, it will all be built again.

The news of the imminent war in the southwest has also reached here.

Lou Shuwan set up a reconstruction plan for Wasion, but the premise of all this is still based on the conditions that the southwest can support.

"Don't let me down...... Ning Yi. ”

Winter was approaching, and the fields could no longer be planted, so she ordered the army to continue to attack the city and plunder the land, but in reality she was still worried about the rations of the hungry people. In such a gap, she would also unconsciously gaze at the southwest, clenching her hands into fists, cheering for the enemy who killed her father far away......

……

On the southeast sea, the dragon boat fleet rested on the island and replenished supplies.

Zhou Pei purged some half-hearted people, and then made a wish, boosted morale, and turned around and waited for another fleet chasing from the rear.

The Taihu Lake fleet, the general who led the team was called Hu Sunming, and after the gold was lowered, he led the team to go to sea to pursue, and at this time he was close to the place.

You can't run away forever, and under the power of the Jurchens, it's not easy to get ashore. Zhou Pei clenched the last strength in his hand, knowing that he had to win this battle!

At this moment, she also gave up everything she had.

……

At the same time, Jun Wu led his troops out of Jiangning, and under the siege and interception of Wushu and others, he began his escape journey to Fujian.

This humiliating journey was both a tempering and a training exercise, and in any case, he could no longer be surrounded by the Jurchen army on the edge of the Yangtze River......

……

Jiangnan West Road.

After defeating the three Han armies, Chen Fan and his army began to quickly move westward and retreat, evading the pursuit of the Shuri speed cavalry that pursued them all the way.

The team climbed over the high foothills, and Zhuo Yongqing turned his head to see the magnificent sunset, the red light sprinkled on the undulating mountains.

Qu Qing walked over from the rear: "Great rivers and mountains." ”

With that, the middle-aged man walked forward with a vigorous step.

Zhuo Yongqing ran two steps, and in the continuous line, chased forward.

……

Southwest.

The pre-war atmosphere was not always tense and slaughtering.

At the pass near the Eagle Beak Rock, the last batch of pre-war preparations were sent by the horse team, and the people of the women's team who were guarding the horse team - the Huaxia Army was short of human resources, women had already begun to work in the workshop, and some military families had also taken on their responsibilities during the war - Mao Yishan, who led his subordinates stationed here, saw that his wife Chen Xia was also mixed in the team.

It's a bit like using power for personal gain.

"You haven't been back for a long time, and people want to come and see you before the fight starts."

Chen Xia is a fiery northwest woman, her family died in the war that year, and later married Mao Yishan, and she was properly managed at home and abroad. This regiment led by Mao Yishan is the elite of the Fifth Division, a highly relied on attacking regiment, facing the imminent situation of the Jurchens, in the past few months, he has been sent to the front, and there is no chance to go home, perhaps realizing the unusual nature of this battle, his wife took the initiative to find it.

"Well, that's nothing." Mao Yishan acquiesced to his wife's behavior, "Is there something wrong at home?" Is there anything wrong with the stones? ”

Mao Yishan and Chen Xia's child's nickname Stone - the little stone under the mountain - is three years old this year, like Mao Yishan, he doesn't show much intelligence, but he doesn't need to worry too much about being honest.

Chen Xia shook her head: "It's okay, the stone is fine." ”

"Hmm......" Mao Yishan nodded, "The front is our position." ”

The mountains in the southwest were a little cold and a little damp, the husband and wife walked outside the position, Mao Yishan introduced his position to his wife, and introduced her to the raised and dangerous eagle's beak rock not far ahead, Chen Xia just listened like this. She was worried, and later she couldn't help but say, "This kind of battle is very dangerous." ”

"If you can fight, don't worry."

"It's okay to fight, but it's also dangerous. There are more than 500,000 Jurchens. ”

"Hmm...... There are always people who die. Mao Yishan said, "There is no way." ”

"When is it a head......

Mao Yishan was silent for a while.

“…… I joined the army more than ten years ago, and when I was in Xia Village, I was still a hairy boy, and that battle was difficult...... But Mr. Ning is right, if you win one battle, there will be ten battles, and after ten battles, there will be a hundred battles, and you will have to fight until your enemies are dead, or you die......"

"The army rebelled, went to Qingmu Village, and when they arrived at Xiaocanghe, Dong Zhiyuan fought a battle, and almost half of the people around him died...... Fighting with Lou Mur, fighting with the Jurchens, fighting one battle after another, and dying until now, there are not many people around who followed the incident at the beginning......"

Mao Yishan recalled these things, he remembered the battle in Xia Village, he had just awakened from a small soldier, and now, this battle still seems endless...... Chen Xia's eyes overflowed with tears: "I, I'm afraid of your ......"

“…… But if no one fights, we will always be the end of the Northwest...... Come, be happy, I've fought for half my life, at least not now, and I don't necessarily die next...... In fact, the most important thing is that if I live, it will be nothing for me to fight for half my life, and the stone should not be put here for half my life. Let's go for the stones. Well? ”

He held the face of his rough-skinned and somewhat chubby wife, took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the four fields, touched the other party's forehead with his forehead, blushed on the face of the woman who was in tears, and reached out to wipe away the tears.

"Moreover, Mr. Ning said before, if this battle can be won, the battle of our lives will ......"

"The battle of our lives ......" Mao Yishan looked at the eagle's beak rock in the distance: "It's time to go halfway." ”

The dim light of the sky was about to be sucked in by the stones of the mountains, and the couple walked here to see the unsurprising scenery, and thus spent the last peaceful time before the great war.

After his wife left, Mao Yishan sharpened his knife according to the custom, although after becoming the regiment commander, he rarely rushed to the front line, but this time, there may be a chance.

Every time you see your family, you can become a permanent one.

But it's important to have family behind you.

They can only become the front of the Great Wall and put an end to all this in front of them.

Whether it's 60,000, 6,000, 600...... Or even six people......

In late October, nearly ten times as many enemies arrived on the battlefield one after another. The fight has lit the curtain of this winter......
