The first is a slight flutter in the air.

The withered grass on the edge of the dwarf forest was low, and the particles of the soil trembled slightly in the grass, and then the sound gradually became louder, and the slight horse's hooves gradually turned into a rapid roar, and suddenly, the war horse rushed out from the side of the low forest!

One ride, ten rides, one hundred rides...... The galloping horse team rushed towards the field like a torrent of conflict, and the knight on horseback was tall and rugged, wearing a wide robe from the north and a fox tail hat, which was the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom from the north. In the midst of the gallop, the knights on the horses were also skillfully pulling their bows and arrows.

The field of vision swept along the earth, and more than 500 Wu Dynasty soldiers had already formed a tight formation, and spears pierced out in front of the formation like a forest. The general Tang Weiguang looked at the Jurchen elite horse that was galloping, clenched his fist in his hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "Don't panic! The formation is not chaotic! Stick tight! Bow and arrow ready—"

"-put!"

A stone's throw.

A rain of arrows flew into the sky, staggered through the air, and fell in different directions.

A convoy of hundreds of horses turned in a gallop, making a huge arc in a roar, and arrows crackled and fell, some on shields, some in the dirt, and a small in blood.

Tang Weiguang pushed away the shield-holding guards beside him, and looked at the Jurchen cavalry with wide eyes, and the roaring torrent drew an arc in front of him, rushing towards the flanks.

"Bow and arrow ready! Pass me the order! The formation is turned to the west - don't mess around! As long as it's not messy, they'll take us for nothing—"

The formation of spears and sword and shield soldiers in front turned in one direction, and once again faced the Jurchen cavalry.

"Push—"

The guns slowly advanced. In front of that, the torrent of Jurchen cavalry rushed again, and in front of the field of vision, it turned into an arc.

Almost at the same moment when the Jurchen cavalry fired the arrow, Tang Weiguang waved his hand violently.

"Put-"

The rain of arrows staggered again, sparsely falling, and on the Jurchen side, there were also cavalry falling from their horses.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, show them to me, push!"

The infantry array slowly advanced with a forest of guns. The archer drew his bow again. The Jurchen cavalry pulled away, then swirled and fired a third shot, this time after firing back. The Jurchen cavalry split from the middle. Split into two strands. Cross-galloped for a moment, outflanking from different directions. The formation of the infantry began to change again, expanding and tightening towards the center. Another volley on both sides. After the convergence of more than 400 Jurchen cavalry. After a small turn, I finally reluctantly went to the distance of vision.

And in front, the corpses of several Jurchen soldiers, wounded war horses, they had no time to rein.

Tang Weiguang clenched his fists and looked at the head, his palms were slightly sweaty and trembling, and he was still confirming whether the Jurchens had really left. In the few rounds of confrontation, the losses of each other were not heavy, and the response and change of formation seemed simple, but he knew in his heart that as long as there was a slight difference, his more than 500 people would collapse in an instant, and they would be harvested like sheep by the Jurchens in the field.

"My lord, we have won." Someone next to him said happily, "The golden dog was beaten away by us!" ”

"Uh......" Tang Weiguang was stunned, and originally wanted to subconsciously refute, but then he nodded: "Find someone to pack up the loot and bandage the wounded." ”

He walked to the soldier in front: "See, the golden dog was beaten away by us!" They have nothing to fear, as long as they act according to the rules, these golden dogs dare not touch us! We train so much on weekdays, what's there to be afraid of-"

Someone then shouted: "My lord, we are not afraid! ”

"That's right, it's just some uncivilized Jurchen barbarians, come one, let's cut him off-"

Someone laughed, and Tang Weiguang also laughed: "Okay! That's it, when I go back, I'll give you credit! ”

There were cheers in the army.

The scouts then went to find out the whereabouts of the Jurchen cavalry, and the soldiers dragged away the corpses of the Jurchens and horses that had fallen on the field.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles outside Bianliang City, large-scale troops have gathered from all directions, and the garrison troops in the core area are as high as 170,000 people, mainly gathered in Lankao and Qixian to confront the Jin soldiers, and the total strength in Bianliang City at this time is between 70,000 and 90,000. On the other hand, there were tens of thousands of soldiers scattered around Kaifeng Prefecture, who were responsible for guarding the place, evacuating the crowd, putting pressure on the Jurchen grain raiders, and squeezing the Jurchens' living space.

Detachments of 500, 1,000, and 2,000 men were scattered throughout the region, and every day, clashes broke out everywhere, and the Jurchen grain raiders met and fought with them. One by one, the war reports are showing the fierce friction before the war......

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

“…… On average, there are at least 20 clashes with more than 200 people every day, and 80 percent of them are good news on our side, and I think the Jurchens are about to surrender. ”

The yellow leaves fell down, and the small convoy drove forward between the roads in the woods, Ning Yi was riding on a horse, frowning and whispering, next to him was Su Wending of the Su family, a young man who was young at the beginning, and his face also had a sense of calmness at this time.

"Seeing that the big war is imminent, I think the army also wants to boost morale."

"The problem is, these things don't really mean much." Ning Yi said, "And you are too naïve, the big war is imminent...... But many people actually have no confidence, the upper echelons of the military, Tong Guan and Gao Yu do not have this confidence, and Li Xiang does not have ...... Of course, it may not be said that Li Xiang does not, but this time his pressure is too great, there are more than 80,000 troops in the capital, but they will not send out a single soldier, and if the current army of nearly 200,000 outside starts a war with Yan Zongwang, no one has the confidence to win. What everyone is really waiting for is negotiation. ”

"Of course, we can't worry too much about these things." Ning Yi didn't continue to talk about the overall situation, and sighed, "I've been worrying about the way to deal with the cavalry recently, the kidnapping horse of the Jin people, except for having another cavalry to do it, it's really difficult to have a way." ”

Su Wending thought for a while: "Didn't everyone in the army say that the infantry array is well maintained. It's not that it can't be beaten. ”

"That's nice to say." Ning Yi shook his head, "After all, the number of Jurchens here is less than ours, and the big war has not started, they don't want to touch hard, they are all tempted by a circle formation, if you can cope with it, he will leave, if you can't cope with it, he will take advantage of the weakness to enter, but you have to chase him." It's impossible to catch up no matter what. So the current good news is all fake. It doesn't make sense. ”

"The Jurchens are afraid of hard bumps, is there a way to force them to bump into ......," Su Wen said.

"Let's not talk about how to force it, even if it is really hard to touch, it is also looking for death. If you really charge the battle with cavalry. In the front were some dead and wounded. But after the infantry formation was rushed away, the formation naturally became chaotic. With the current combat strength of the Wu Dynasty army, the next step is harvesting. At that time, the real battle report will most likely be a fiasco, and now it is just because the Jurchens don't even want to pay this loss. ”

As he spoke, someone suddenly rode a horse from the front, it was a master recruited by Zhuji, who was exploring the way in front as a spy at this time, he whispered a few words, which made De Ning Yi's face change slightly......

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

Outside the woods was a smooth hillside, and at the bottom of the hill, a terrible chase and killing was coming to an end, and the fleeing soldiers were chased by the cavalry rushing from behind, and the heads were cut off with long knives, and a large number of tragic casualties spread out in front of and behind the road.

This was a scattered Wu Dynasty army, some of the routs were chased into a small village in front, but the people of the small village had basically evacuated, some cavalry rushed in, and after a while, set a fire in the village.

Some of the cavalry scoured the road outside for oil and water from the corpses, but they moved quickly, and the few unpalatable dry rations that the army had brought were quickly thrown away. It seemed that the cavalry was still in trouble, and after gathering, they ran in the direction of turning back, and in the afternoon sun, a Jurchen cavalry cheered and threw his head into the sky.

The cavalry was far away, and after a while, the figures of Ning Yi, Qi Xinhan and several other guards appeared at the edge of the forest, and he could know that he had encountered twenty percent of the good news.

Several people came down from the grassy slope to see if there were any survivors, and when they finally found a dying wounded man in the grass on the side of the road, after hearing what he said, Ning Yi was slightly stunned, and looked in the direction where the Jurchen cavalry had gone.

But at this time, there is nothing he can do......

The Jurchen cavalry rushed back a few miles away, and a migration team of thousands of people was surrounded by some of them, and at this time, the Jurchens forced them to hand over their burdens, belongings, rice and other things, and it was nearing the end. The things that everyone had handed over formed a small mountain in front of the array......

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

Tian Ahsan felt that his hands and feet were cold, his whole body was shaking, and he felt that he might be going to die.

His wife was holding his hand beside him, and she kept crying in a low voice, and she didn't dare to make a sound to alarm the Jurchens, so she kept shaking and shaking.

When the Jurchens drove them to hand over their belongings, rice and grain, they went over and threw their burdens and the gold and silver on the hill, and then they heard what the Jurchens next to them said, he was stunned, and then the other party repeated, he knew very well that the other party was saying in Chinese: "Take off your clothes!" ”

"W-What ......?"

"Take off your clothes, who knows if you have something hidden on your body, and you, everyone, take off your clothes!"

A Jurchen suddenly said: "That's right! That's right! ”

Then there was a burst of laughter.

Tian Ashan was stunned, just subconsciously shook his head, and the next moment, the Jurchen came over impatiently, pulled his wife aside, and tore her clothes with a loud noise: "Take off your clothes!" ”

"Ah-" sounded, the woman screamed frantically, Tian Ashan subconsciously waved over: "What are you doing, don't you ......" Not far away, a Jurchen general with a gloomy face had already walked over, brushed a knife, and then kicked Tian Ashan away with a heavy kick.

Tian Ahsan saw his hands fly out, blood gushing out, and the Jurchen general's knife pierced through his wife's back.

"What are you doing! Don't procrastinate. The general shouted in Jurchen words, "Kill—"

"Yes!"

More than 400 Jurchen knights drew their knives at the same time and slashed into the crowd.

……

The intense and boiling time lasted only a moment, and the sound gradually faded away. The Jurchens packed up their booty, looked at the afternoon sun, and went back in the direction of Mutuogang. Soon after, on the way back, they encountered a thousand-strong team of Wu Dynasty, and the two sides confronted each other for a while, and the Jurchens threw down some heavy items and several large carts, and ran away to the side with only valuable and easy-to-carry belongings and rice grain.

Not long after, Ning Yi saw this good news among a lot of intelligence. It is about the Jurchens brutally slaughtering a civilian army of thousands of people. After looting the property, he met a flank unit of the Wujie Battalion. After a fierce battle between the two sides, the Jurchens fled, and this army recaptured a large amount of property.

Such victories and defeats are fiercely staged every day.

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

Taiyuan. The autumn wind is coming.

When Qin Shaohe walked out of the city tower. Subconsciously coughed a few times. Wrap up your clothes tightly.

The city walls are full of soldiers standing guard, inside and out, there are countless traces of the aftermath of the battle. Traces of blood, traces of flames, traces of stone bullets. Outside the city, the tents of the Jurchens stretched out, and through the thick wooden walls, soldiers could be seen walking among them. More than a month of offensive and defensive has been over for several days, and it seems that the Jurchens have planned to do a long-term siege and no longer attack. Walking on the city wall at this time, among the soldiers, Qin Shaohe suddenly had a feeling that the heavens and the earth were quiet.

After more than a month of repeated attacks and defenses, it is hard to imagine what a huge pressure it was, the city wall was broken through several times, and it was forcibly recaptured several times, and several times Qin Shaohe thought that Taiyuan was about to fall. Wanyan Zonghan, who was outside the city, had already made a threat to kill the whole city after the city was broken, but in the end, the city wall was still firmly guarded here.

Although Qin Shaohe had never really fought after the first time he took the lead, he was still injured several times on the city wall, and his body had lost a lot of weight at this time, and his body exuded the smell of medicine, and there was an illusion that the wind would blow down. But only the eyes have become quieter and more determined than before, which is something that has accumulated due to "death" after many people have fallen around him.

He looked at the direction of the Jurchen tent from a distance and quietly, and at this moment, he actually understood the reason for the feeling that the world was quiet.

Taiyuan has become an isolated city.

In the second half of the siege battle, on the Jurchen side, it was not Zong Han who commanded the war, but his general Yinshuke, and Zong Han led some other troops to level all the cities near Taiyuan in half a month, turning today's Taiyuan into a lonely city.

But it was also like a nail, nailing the Jurchens' Western Route Army here, so that it could not go south at all.

Someone came over next to him, it was Li Pin, who also had the smell of medicine on his body and was emaciated. Not long ago, Qin Shaohe once ridiculed him, saying that literati are weak, and Li Pin was so tired that he fell ill, but even if he was sick, he was still responsible for his work accurately, and he was also not in good health, and Cheng Zhouhai, who was responsible for inciting many people to go to the city wall.

"Lord Qin, the food has been concentrated and ordered." Li Channel, "There is basically food in the treasury that can be eaten by the people in the city for three months, and if we start saving it from now on, we can drag it out for half a year." ”

"That's enough." Qin Shaohe laughed, "When the news outside was cut off, I knew that hundreds of thousands of people were gathering in Bianliang, as long as the siege of Bianliang could be solved, the siege of Taiyuan would naturally be solved." The Jurchens marched quickly, and the offensive was so strong, that they had to win quickly, and in my opinion, they could not delay this winter. Ahem...... You and I, I have no choice but to spend it in Taiyuan and stick to them. ”

"It's a privilege to be humble." Li Pin arched his hand and smiled.

"I don't know." Qin Shaohe put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "If it weren't for this time to defend the city, Qin wouldn't know that he was so capable of fighting, and he actually ...... Can hold this city......"

His voice became softer, and when he said that he had seen many people dead on the city wall, among these people were officers and soldiers and civilians, the fighting had been too fierce for a month, and his body was often stained with blood, and he often stepped over corpses in the middle of running, and even fell in a pool of blood, at that time, he had no time to look at these dead people, but now he remembered it.

This city is what they will defend after all......

The autumn wind is coming, winter is coming, and when the snow covers the mountain, even if the Jurchens come out of the ice and snow, it is difficult to start a siege war in such weather, and when the time comes, the situation in Taiyuan City may be able to ease a lot, Qin Shaohe's heart relaxed slightly, he knows that as long as he nails the Jurchens' Western Route Army, it is enough to greatly alleviate the battle situation in the capital. This qiē, whether it is Qin Shaohe, Li Pin, Cheng Zhouhai, or many generals and officials in the city, can understand it in their hearts.

They're going to do great things.

And due to the closure of the news, Qin Shaohe didn't know that at this time, under the leadership of Zhe Keqiu and Liu Guangshi, as the strongest western army of the Wu Dynasty, he had already started a fight with Wanyan Zonghan in Tianmen Pass. He didn't know that at the same time, in the confrontation outside the capital, the imperial court was negotiating the conditions proposed by Yan Zongwang to cede Taiyuan and other places to peace talks.

Nor did he know that this brief period of calm and ease was about to become the beginning of a long hell...... (To be continued......)

PS: I thought it could be updated before midnight......
