The smell of gunpowder wafted away, and the smell of blood filled the mouth and nose, and the uncomfortable feeling was difficult to get used to for the rest of my life.

After the sound of "the rabbit cub retreated", Mao Yishan ran towards the north side of the mountain with his shield, and the sound of fighting continued on the mountainside over there, but soon after, the sound of the enemy temporarily retreating was also heard.

"Search the body! Pick up all their fire and thunder for me! ”

Mao Yishan went to the big rock at the commanding height, and ordered in a hoarse voice: "How many more cannons?" ”

"And three smaller ones."

"Drag it to the north, and the enemy will rush forward, and give me the opening that I will guard with the thunder feldspar! Let them not be able to tie the line! ”

"Fire and thunder try to give to the south! Xiao Xue! The golden dog's fire thunder is thrown at me in a good position, the power is good from top to bottom, let's gather the grenades and see how many there are! ”

"Every company and every row dots the people around you—"

"First aid - wrap up first-"

In the midst of shouting, he took the telescope and looked down the mountain, and the nearby ravines and foothills were full of Jurchen soldiers and horses, and the hot air balloon rose in the sky.

"Fuck—"

Since the beginning of the war, there have been hot air balloons on both sides of the observation work, and in the past, when there was a positional war, each side had to hang a few vigilances. But since the situation on the battlefield has become interspersed and chaotic, the hot air balloon has become an obvious location marker, and whoever raises the hot air balloon will inevitably attract the patronage of the scouts, and even be pounced on by the brigade soon after.

At present, this team of Jurchens dares to hang out the balloons, on the one hand, it means that they are determined to grasp the situation clearly and eat their own team on the mountain, on the other hand, or because they have other plans, so they no longer care about the taboo of hot air balloons.

In any case, it will not be a good thing for your side.

Soon after, someone came up to report that there were still 396 soldiers still able to fight.

“…… In addition, the cliff on the east side is not easy to descend and there is no way to transfer. ”

"Don't think about the east, people have balloons hanging in the sky."

Mao Yishan looked at the sky, the time was just past noon, and the idea of staying up until the night to break through was a little far away. Markings on the simple map also indicate that there may not be any reinforcements nearby that will arrive quickly.

He remembered that he had met with the messenger of the General Staff Headquarters before the opening of the call yesterday, and the order given to him by the other party was "to rush to Baihucao before the evening of 23 February, and if the fighters permit, to attack the flank troops of the 1st Division and the 2nd Brigade together with the friendly troops of the 1st Division and the 2nd Brigade." After the order was given, the staff officer also mentioned: "The main forces of the two armies of the Balout and Dalai units are now almost firmly established in the predetermined positions." There is a speculation in the staff that they are likely to carry out large-scale intersperses in the near future to push the front forward. Once the line of Leigang and Palm Creek is crossed, there is more flat land ahead, and the Jurchens will have an advantage in carrying out a large-scale assembly. ”

So if it happens, remember to be flexible. The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is tired and disturbs, and if you can't eat, don't harden it. ”

These words were said yesterday, and the staff officer expected that it might be a few days before they happened, but today, when Mao Yishan led his team to intersperse, he encountered an unexpected large force.

After Yushuixi killed Lili, Mao Yishan's regiment did not replenish many people, and several batches of recruits came, and they fought for another two months, and the members have been hovering in their early 400s. The Jurchen team in front of him may have exceeded two thousand, and as soon as the scouts fought Mao Yishan, he retreated to the side, but in the process of retreating, he happened to be blocked in the middle by another Jurchen army that was diagonally inserted.

Judging from the reaction of the other party, this may be regarded as an extremely coincidental accident, but in any case, more than 400 people were then surrounded on the mountain and fought for nearly an hour, and the other party organized several charges, and then was repulsed.

Surrounded this team of more than 400 people, the Jin army below was also a little excited, and the hot air balloons were raised, just to prevent them from escaping. For Mao Yishan, this is also an experience that often walks by the river and it is difficult not to get his shoes wet.

Due to the loss of Huangming County at the beginning of the first lunar month, Mao Yishan was quickly recalled to the front line after the Spring Festival, thus escaping the predetermined propaganda plan. The team he led held out in Yushuixi until late January, then took advantage of the fog to retreat, and then embarked on a comfortable journey to continuously bully the opponent's weak troops.

This is an accurate capture of the lone troops of the Jin Kingdom with the support of the elite scout network. In the first half of February, Mao Yishan fought four battles, one in an ambush and two in a charge, and Mao Yishan also killed a Han general who was now a small number of Han generals in the Jurchen advancing army. The rest of the game was a run with the tail between his legs, but it wasn't tough either.

By the fifth game, it was stuck in the middle.

"The enemy is coming up again—"

There was a shout.

"Damn, ruined Lao Tzu's new coat!"

Mao Yishan scolded in a low voice. His beautiful, light and warm military coat was given by Ning Yi, Mao Yishan did not go up when the other party charged for the first time, and the second charge was real, Mao Yishan passed with a sword and shield, the coat was stained with blood, and half of it became scarlet.

"Pay attention to the situation, if you have a chance, let's break south once, I think the cubs in the south are weaker."

When the battalion commander under his command came over, Mao Yishan said this, and the battalion commander nodded and smiled: "Regiment commander, if you want to break through, you, your coat for me to wear, you are too eye-catching, I will help you wear it, attract ...... Attention of the golden dog. ”

"Do I have to come back if you're wearing it?"

"Look at what you said, Captain, no...... Not atmospheric......"

"Get out."

The shouts of killing have spread.

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

The sun hanging in the sky gradually moves westward, and it is not as present as the smoke drifting from the mountains.

The stones were gradually stained red with blood, and the smoke of the explosion also bloomed one by one, and the afternoon time passed into the evening, and the Huaxia army troops on the hill made two breakthroughs, but after all, they were unsuccessful. There have been more than ten charges.

Gritting his teeth, Mao Yishan's body crawled in the black smoke and dust, and the pain of tearing was coming from his right arm and the side of his right face - in fact, this feeling was not accurate, he had several wounds on his body, his eyes were bleeding, his ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear anything, and when his palm moved to his face, he found that half of his ear was blurred.

"Ahh

He let out a wild cry like a beast, far away as if it were coming from a nearby hill. There were other voices in the smoke of gunpowder, not far away on the grassy slope, was a soldier of the Huaxia Army who had been blackened by the explosion of gunpowder, one of his legs had been broken, blood was flowing out, half of his body and half of his face had various abrasions, Mao Yishan saw his hand waving, and then heard a scream that seemed to be far away.

The charge that the enemy had just launched, Mao Yishan led his team to beat the opponent back with a fierce attack, but the Jurchens' fire and thunder still caused some damage. Now that the enemy has just retreated, and the people around him are also looking for him, Mao Yishan rushed towards the wounded man, trying to pick up the other party, and the wounded's face was twisted to the extreme.

Mao Yishan's head was still buzzing, and the shouting seemed distant, poignant and chaotic, and he knew that it was the cry of his companion in front of him. The other party reached out and grabbed his clothes, Mao Yishan saw that his blood-red eyes were bulging out, his mouth was red, and the flesh on his face that was affected by the fragments turned out, which was also red at this time.

"Give me a good time—"

Mao Yishan tried to drag the man up, but after listening twice, he understood the other party's words, which briefly drained his strength, he rolled to the ground, raised his head, looked through the smoke of gunpowder into the mountains, after a while, he waved his hand and punched himself in the head, and then approached the wounded man.

"What else do you have to explain!?"

"Ahh

"What else do you have to explain—"

"Commander, give me a good time—"

"Okay—"

Mao Yishan shouted, he looked at the wounded, and the wounded who had been shouting in pain gritted his teeth and looked at him, trembling all over. After looking at each other for a second, Mao Yishan pulled out his knife and fell.

He then got up from the smoke and walked back, someone followed, and then a medical staff from the regiment came up to check Mao Yishan's injuries and treat his ears. Mao Yishan went to the mountain and sat down on the big rock, while looking at the surrounding situation and trying to make arrangements, on the other hand, his body was also trembling in pain.

"Knocked back twelve times-" The battalion commander ran over to speak, Mao Yishan looked at him while shaking, the battalion commander was stunned for a moment, and shouted again, before Mao Yishan nodded.

"There may not be reinforcements coming!"

"Stay up all night! Let's talk about it - maybe there is a way! ”

"The bunny might recognize us!"

"What?"

"I know that Lao Tzu killed him—"

“…… Oh. The battalion commander thought for a while, "Then regiment commander, I will wear your clothes at night......"

"Don't think—"

"Stingy—"

Both men were shouting.

The thirteenth charge of the enemy arrived.

The fierce battle is still continuing, the attrition on the top of the mountain is actually more than half, and most of the rest are also colorful, Mao Yishan knows in his heart that reinforcements may not come. This time, it should have encountered a large-scale advance of the Jurchens, and the main forces of several divisions would concentrate the first counterattack on a few key positions, and if the golden dog wanted to gain territory, he would pay the price.

On his own side, the scouts can't come, and the reinforcements who happen to be nearby may not be able to catch up. According to yesterday's instructions, they should have all gone in the direction of Baihucao, and they happened to be caught - if it wasn't for bad luck, they should have run away on their own and then returned to the team.

In every battle, there are inevitably one or two such unlucky guys.

He remembered when he went back to his wife and children at the end of the year, and the rest of the army didn't get him treated so well, and they didn't even have the opportunity to go back to say goodbye to their families—but it was fine, maybe because of that kind of trip, and he felt ...... right now Quite reluctant.

His eyes moistened for a moment, he gritted his teeth, swallowed the pain in his ears and head, and then lifted the knife forward.

Accidents, at the most intense moment of this round of fighting, suddenly broke out-

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

On 23 February, one of the armies that had caught Mao Yishan's regiment on the edge of this nameless hill in the southwest was an elite army composed of Han people from Liaodong. The general of the army was named Yin Khan, and there were more than 1,500 men under his command.

On the other side of the mountain, there were two groups of gold soldiers of nearly 3,000 people.

The resistance of more than 400 Huaxia troops on the mountain was quite tenacious, which was not unexpected by the attackers on both sides. First, the terrain of the mountain is relatively narrow, and it is difficult to break through for a while, and second, it is not long after the battle broke out, people recognized the number of the Huaxia Army on the mountain - other Jurchens may not understand it, but after the Huaxia Army killed Lili, there was a certain amount of propaganda, and some people recognized it among the Jin soldiers.

It's a big credit and it has to be taken.

With this in mind, the besiegers initially chose to completely block the path around the hill, and then gradually increased the intensity of the attack.

More than 10 attacks were carried out one after another. During the thirteenth attack, Yin Khan showed a flaw.

His flaws are not facing the mountains.

……

On the other side of the mountain, more than 20 people, including Zheng Qiming and Ning Ji, who had rushed to this side, had been squatting in the bushes for half an hour.

They started with only a dozen people, and from early this morning, they encountered the advancing Jurchen troops, and then the team that was still carrying the wounded fled, playing hide and seek with the Jurchen scouts, and joined a seven-man scout team halfway until they discovered the fierce battle on this hill in the afternoon.

"What's going on with the Jurchens?"

"There's a big move."

"Why do we keep meeting ...... today?"

"We're too far ahead......"

"The Jurchens have a conspiracy ......"

Along the way, everyone talked about it, and after encountering the battlefield, they stopped. They counted the number of people around them, knowing that this was an extreme adventure, and some of the members also had concerns about Ning Ji's existence, but Ning Ji resolutely participated.

"Kill people, I won't hold everyone back, right? Just a few people, one more, one more chance, look at the mountain, saving people is the most important, isn't it? ”

Opportunity appeared on this day at the third quarter of the day (half past four in the afternoon). Yin Khan exposed his slightly weak back in front of this small team.

"Kill."

The crowd crept out.

Even though it was the weak point of the military formation, the number of people around Yin Khan was still more than that of Ning Ji's small army, but this was the best opportunity.

At this moment, whether it is Ning Ji under the mountain or Mao Yishan on the mountain, they are all engrossed in fighting for dozens or hundreds of lives in front of them, and not many people realize that what they are experiencing in front of them is the starting point of the biggest change in the southwest battle in front of them.

In Zizhou, at noon on this day, Ning Yi had already received the news of a large-scale movement in the Jurchens, and the former enemy headquarters concentrated its forces at the first time and met several lines of the opponent's troops.

Ning Yi didn't point a finger at this news, some things had been faintly noticed a few days earlier, and even earlier, he knew that there must be a certain moment when something was going to be fully operational, and on this day, he had already prepared for some things.

In Zizhou City, a small number of troops are being gathered, and some things are being moved out of the arsenal.

The line of Leigang and Brown Creek is an invisible line in front of Zizhou City, after which the mountains and forests begin to decrease, and the terrain suitable for the movement of large armies will begin to appear, and the Jurchens will regain their superiority in strength.

After this line, they will return to the Sword Gate Pass......

— it's even tougher.

Ning Yi walked to the playground where the army assembled.

……

Zheng Qiming and Ning Ji killed the army formation where Yin Khan was.

Sniper shots rang out, and at the same moment, an attempt was made to complete the decapitation.

In a moment, someone on the hill noticed the change in the military formation to the south.

Someone ran to Mao Yishan and shouted. Mao Yishan raised the binoculars and took a look.

The battalion commander rushed past him: "Quick! Breakout—"

"One Battalion...... Three battalions, all of them! South--charge-"

On the other side of the mountain, the soldiers on the hot air balloon also noticed the change here, and the Jurchen army was frantically gathering.

"Two battalions and two companies! After I break off—"

"Rush—"

Mao Yishan has no mother-in-law, the soldiers on the mountain are like tigers out of the mountain, charging fiercely down the mountain, Mao Yishan ran out of a section, and turned around: "Hey-"

There were also warriors rushing down, and on the other side of the mountain, the Jurchens were rushing up frantically. On the top of the mountain, the battalion commander stood there and waved his hand to him, and in his hand, he carried the military coat that Mao Yishan had forgotten to wear.

The battalion commander looked at Mao Yishan and put on his comfortable and beautiful military coat, not to mention, after putting it on, he was really a little spirited.

"I'm broken."

For the rest of his life, the battalion commander did not return the general's coat to him.
