"Lord Wang, the soldiers have gathered together!"

Zhao Gou nodded, then got up and came directly to the school field, looking at the neatly arranged soldiers in front of him, standing in the front row were Lu Junyi, Song Jiang, Gao Chong, Seed Master Dao and others, and in the back row were soldiers with spears in their hands, and even the men walked out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you all know why you are gathered here!" Zhao Gou shouted, "Here, I won't talk any more nonsense!" Now the Jin people ignored the covenant and raised troops to invade the south, wanting to occupy the mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Whether you are the people of the land of Yanyun or the soldiers who came with me, we are all a family now, and we are all from the Great Song Dynasty. Now that the Jin people are marching into the army, the purpose is self-evident, that is, to occupy our hometown and wreak havoc on our compatriots, do you agree? ”

"No!" Everyone replied in unison.

"I know that everyone has no bottom in their hearts, and if you want to say that you are 100% convinced that this battle will be won, even I can't say for sure!" Zhao Gou said loudly again, "The Jin army is far superior to its own in numbers, this is a problem that cannot be ignored. Maybe some brothers will think, can such a war really be won? Isn't that self-defeating? ”

"What is perdition? That is knowing the wolf ambition of the Jin people, but not doing anything, allowing them to wantonly trample on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and wantonly humiliate our Song people, that is the real destruction. Today, even if you fight to the point of one soldier, you must defend Gubeikou and resist the Jin army. ”

"Even if we die on the battlefield, we will die a well-deserved death. If the brothers work together, it will be difficult to defeat. I am a great Song Dynasty and a vast land, and in terms of combat effectiveness, how can I compare with the Jin people. Even if there are no reinforcements and not enough food and grass, we can use our own hands and our lives to resist the pace of the Jinren, even if I die, future generations should remember it. ”

"Today, our blood has not been shed in vain, if we don't do anything and let the Jin people come, then what face do we have to face the fathers and villagers in our hometown. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, at least I know that if we can't expel the Jin people from Gubeikou, then our family's high halls, wives and children will definitely be humiliated by the Jin people, and how many innocent people will die! ”

"Would you like to see that?"

"Never say yes!"

Zhao Gou's words soundly stirred the hearts of everyone deeply. Originally, everyone was fighting with the Jin people, and they also knew that the gap between the forces of the two sides was too big, and everyone was panicked. Now Zhao Gou's words made them understand that if they and the others did nothing, then the result would be that the iron horses of the Jin people would enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and then their wives, children, parents and others would definitely be difficult to reconcile, and such a scene was not what they wanted to see.

The soldiers who were still trembling in their hearts were still trembling at this moment, and their eyes were even more determined, and they were more determined than ever. Because they really don't want to see their wives and children being humiliated under the Jin people, even if the court doesn't care about it, then everything can only rely on themselves.

"Pour the wine!"

With Zhao Gou's order, the soldiers all held bowls and poured full of wine, and after everyone was full, Zhao Gou said again: "Today, this bowl of wine is not only Zhuangxing wine, but also parting wine, and soul breaking wine. Now we have no way back, and we can only fight to the death for the sake of today. ”

"This bowl of wine is my Zhao Goujing brothers, it's done!"

Zhao Gou drank it all, and all the soldiers drank it all, and then smashed all the bowls in his hands on the ground. Then, Zhao Gou instructed the man to make all the rest of the food, so that the brothers were all full of food and drink. And they did not speak, but all did as they were told.

"Strategist, open the city gate tomorrow to fight the enemy, and you will lead two thousand guards to wait at the city gate." Zhao Gou said solemnly, "Remember, there is no winner in the big war, and you must not open the city gates." If we all die on the battlefield, even if we defend it, we have to defend it. At that time, the combat effectiveness of the Jin soldiers will also be greatly weakened, so that even if they fight again, there will not be much of a problem. ”

"If we are unfortunately all killed, then I will hand over Gubeikou to you! If we win, then we will be drinking. This blood debt must be repaid with blood, and then it will be considered in the long run. This is a military order I have given, and it will be strictly enforced. ”

"Lord Wang...... Yes, sir! Wu Yong, the military advisor, reluctantly agreed, if he also had strong martial arts, he would not be arranged by Zhao Gou to guard the city gate.

In fact, everyone knew what Zhao Gou meant, and they didn't say anything. Because only Wu Yong was a scholar present, this battle was a matter of life and death, if the scholar went up, it would just give his life in vain, it was better to let him guard the rear, that is, Zhao Gou believed in Wu Yong's ability.

"Order the brothers in the room to order them to cook when they are ugly, and they must do it at three o'clock when they are ugly!"

"Yes!"

After Zhao Gou passed down the order, the chief of the house immediately obeyed the order, he knew that this meal might be the last meal for the soldiers, so Zhao Gou also took out all the ingredients, all the rice, vegetables, etc.

At three o'clock, the soldiers immediately began to eat! This time, they let go of their arms and eat, as long as they can eat, then fill their stomachs. Since the beginning of the war, everyone has eaten two meals and one less meal, and sometimes they can't eat much at all, and they don't have that time.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this meal might be the last. Even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat it. If you are hungry, you will not have the strength to kill the enemy. Zhao Gou and the others also all went out of the account, they ate with the soldiers, and there were some drinks, Zhao Gou did not enjoy them alone, he divided all the remaining drinks and gave them to the soldiers, each of them a bowl of spirits to warm their bodies.

"Brothers, it's done!"

"Lord Wang, it's done!"

Zhao Gou, Gao Zhong and the others drank it all, all their words, all their uneasiness, and all their distress were all in the wine.

At three o'clock, Zhao Gou passed down a military order and ordered all the soldiers to leave the city. When they all left the city, Wu Yong sent another order to seal the city gate again, that is, seal it. directly blocked their way back, Wu Yong stood on the city wall, looking at the backs of everyone leaving, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!

Zhao Gou divided the army into several parts, led by him, Lu Junyi, Chongshi Dao, Song Jiang, Gao Zhong and others, and they did not immediately rush forward, nor did they let all the soldiers go up directly to fight. Zhao Gou personally led 2,000 people and took advantage of the night to sneak attack the rear of the Jin soldiers.

The Jin Bing camp did not expect that the Song army would dare to take the initiative to attack at this time, and they neglected to take precautions, and in the end they were succeeded by Zhao Gou's sneak attack, and directly burned all their grain and grass. Suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, and Zhao Gou ordered the soldiers to retreat.

Wanyan Zonghan had already left the camp when he was attacked in the rear, and he immediately ordered all the troops to gather together. Because Zhao Gou personally came to sneak attack, that is to say, this battle must be fought, and there is no retreat, which is also in his arms.

"Don't panic!" Wanyan Zonghan shouted, "All the soldiers listen to the order and immediately pursue the Song army!" ”

"Kill!" Suddenly, the shouts in the Jin Bing camp shook the sky, and even Gao Zhong and the others heard it clearly.

After Zhao Gou's sneak attack was successful, he immediately let the soldiers retreat, so how the Jin soldiers pursued did not have much impact on the Song army. In addition, Gao Zhong and others also came to respond, and Zhao Gou had already made arrangements, this time he put out a gossip array and offered his last killer weapon.

Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others guarded the eight directions respectively, and let the crossbow array sprint first. The Jin soldiers didn't know any formation at all, and they had never seen the big formation set up by Zhao Gou, they rushed forward in one go, directly blocking Song Jiang's attack with their bodies, as if their lives were not lives at all, like ants.

When Zhao Gou set up a gossip array to confront the Jin soldiers, Wanyan Zonghan didn't care about the life and death of the soldiers, and let them go forward to attack one after another. Moreover, he is not the kind of blind attack, but only one side. Due to the old age and physical exhaustion, the planter was taken care of.

The Jin soldiers continued to attack one after another, and the Jin soldiers who rushed to the front had already fallen, and they still couldn't resist the continuous arrival of soldiers in the rear. In addition, Wanyan Zonghan also sent a general to charge into battle. Originally, I thought that the Bagua Array could support an hour and defend against the Jin people's offensive.

It's just that there is too much difference in the strength of the two sides, and the Jin soldiers don't care about life and death, and they rush forward indomitable. In half an hour, the Bagua Array was broken by the Jin soldiers. Because they don't care about the changes in the Song army's camp at all, and whether there are people resisting or not, their eyes are to kill the enemy.

"Ah Zhong!"

The seed master Dao shouted, because when the big array was broken, the seed master was beheaded by the Jin soldier general, and even his body was invisible. Because the army of Jin soldiers continues to attack, whether you are dead or half-dead, you will be trampled into meat sauce directly under the chaotic footsteps.

"Brothers, kill!"

Zhao Gou saw that the big array had been broken, and he knew that the next big battle was the real battle. So, he also took out the Cold Moon Blade and directly ordered to fight with the Jin soldiers. Even though Jin Bing disregarded life and death, this courage was commendable. It's just that Zhao Gou believes that the Song people will not have any fear.

If you are strong, then I am stronger than you; You are not afraid of death, how can I be afraid!

Song Jin started a decisive battle, and before the battle began, Wanyan Zonghan had already sent a message asking Wanyan Zongwang to send troops to help; Zhao Gou also sent a message at this time, asking Yue Fei and others to come to help. As for the strength of Dushikou, Zhao Gou asked them to leave 20,000 troops and guard Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong.

Zhao Gou also asked clearly, as long as the 20,000 troops did not leave the city, they could support it for a month. Therefore, Zhao Gou asked Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others to attack from the south and west, and attacked the Jin soldiers from three sides. Wanyan Zonghan saw that he couldn't attack for a long time, so he also wrote a letter asking for reinforcements, so Wanyan Zongwang and others also came to join them one after another.

The two sides combined to attack about 200,000 troops, making the entire Gubeikou densely packed with figures. At this time, the two armies are fighting, if Zhao Gou has already prepared, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely, even if they die on the battlefield, they will die well.

When the war lasted for an hour, the two armies were still evenly divided, and Zhao Gou only relied on tens of thousands of troops to resist the Jin soldiers' army of more than 100,000 troops, which was enough to shock the world. At this moment, the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides was gradually exhausted.

Whether it was the Song army or the Jin soldiers, they had been fighting for an hour, and after this battle began, everyone joined in one after another. Even the soldiers in the gang took up arms one after another to fight to the death against the Jin people. In one hour, more than half of the people in Shuibo Liangshan had died, and even Song Jiang fell in a pool of blood.

The battle was like a slaughter of the city, and Wu Yong stood on the city wall and watched intently what was happening in front of him. He clearly saw his former brothers fall one by one, Wu Yong's heart was trembling, and his tears had already dried up.

However, the pain of losing his brother can only be understood by himself.

As far as the eye can see, the corpses are all over the field, and there is no grass or vegetation in sight. Even the weeds were covered by the corpses of soldiers on both sides, and the corpses of dead soldiers were even seen piled up like hills in some places, and the blood was flowing all the time. Those soldiers who are not dead, even if they have broken legs and hands, as long as they still have a little strength, they are willing to take up arms and fight the enemy. Even if they died, they would drag the Jin soldiers to die together, because they would never allow the Jin soldiers to enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty for half a step.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city wall, they did not have any sense of happiness, they thought about why they were not among them, why they wanted to stay on the city wall. Because of this pain, it is difficult for them to bear. I can only watch my brothers die in battle, but I can barely survive.
