After running for twenty miles, the battle at the port of Rajin was still a kind of understatement.

Although the size of the enemy increased tenfold at once, becoming thousands; He also had more organization and will to resist, and after hearing the alarm, a swarm of swarms surged back, but for the soldiers under my command, not even counting hors d'oeuvres, it was already in the sound of a short volley of guns and firelight, and it was quickly over.

This time, these Mengshan thieves didn't even have a chance to escape, and were directly lined up by the fierce gunned army, and they were beaten back with a head and head at a glance, and then drove into the sea in a panic while shooting and killing, and finally struggled to float in the sea with ice slag, and continued to be used as a target to practice.

When the results of the battle were confirmed, even the ice cubes on the shore were dyed an ominous red, but more were drowned than killed.

A good news and a bad news, the bad news is that the original Luojin Port has been burned to the ground by these wanton looting, and the remaining remnants have also been demolished by those thieves to make a fire to keep warm;

The good news is that although the warehouses, markets, tax offices, inspection halls, inns, cars, shops and other buildings on the shore have been burned down, the trestle bridges and embankments soaked in the sea water are relatively well preserved, and at least they are used to provide shelter and barge for the boats, which is not a problem.

Trenches were dug on the spot, camps were erected, simple horses and wire barricades were erected, the ground was cleared, tents were erected, wood and charcoal ash were collected, ice was ripped in the canals flowing through them to get water, and then they waited for the detour of the open sea to join the boats. More follow-up supplies and equipment will be given time to transport them ashore.

In addition to the big tent of the Chinese army, the first ones to be set up were the camps and ambulance stations in the field, and then the temporary barracks divided into various areas, which were separated by leveled simple ground and circulating drainage ditches according to the establishment and the ownership of the troops.

After a while, even the watchtowers and watchtowers, which had been temporarily converted into baggage wagons, had appeared at the key positions in the corners of the camp.

In winter, in contrast to the frozen ground, there is another rather convenient building material, which is the snow in the camp that has been cleared along the shallow ditch and piled up on the side according to the regulations.

Flattened with a shovel, and then tamped with a heavy object, it became a temporary breastwork around the barracks, and then poured on the seawater that was carried over, and in the extremely cold weather, soon the ice surface of the eastern city was shining brightly.

If you can also insert sharpened hard branches or something, so the most basic blocking arrows and cover against impact can be completed quickly in only half a day.

At the corners and key points of some camps, the collected debris was mixed with sediment, and continued to be piled up into large and small platforms, and then surrounded by watered snow walls, and pillars were erected to cover the shelters, which were all sentry posts and arrow towers hidden under the snow.

At this time, through the capture in the port of Luojin and the comparison of the confessions that identified each other under the coercion of the knife, I finally got more information and a more accurate understanding

And at the end of the extension of the road beyond **, the camp that was under siege but still seemed to be in disarray, corresponding to the same dilapidated moats full of gaps of size and size.

Although compared to the inappropriate Zhangyi City, as the residence of the lord of the half of the county, it can accommodate at least tens of thousands of people, the wall is twenty or thirty feet high and ten feet wide, and there are rammed earth brick arrow towers and basic gatehouses at the four corners, which is undoubtedly much more considerable.

But it's just an island besieged by the tide.

"Another thief has rushed in the north wall......"

Like a trapped beast, standing hoarse on Haiyang City, agitating the people and the soldiers of the subordinate family, Jin Zhe,

He also gritted his teeth and led the team to the edge of the northern city again, and personally pulled his bow and shot down a thief who had bitten a short knife and had just climbed the wall to hack two people to death. Only then did this group of thieves who climbed the wall come in be driven out again.

In fact, he was the third leader who had not been in charge for a long time, and he was temporarily appointed as the leader of the adult brother after the original old family head was worried about his illness and hurriedly abdicated to make way for Xian, and the successor head of the family was seriously injured by a flying stone and could not see things.

Therefore, in terms of prestige and appeal, it is somewhat unsatisfactory. The only advantage is that he once used to be a proton in disguise, and he has learned the vision and experience of traveling abroad for a long time.

Ben took advantage of Anton's turmoil and fled home in private, intending to arrange matters related to foreign affairs.

Compared with the feudal divisions in other places, the princes of the Silla domain paid more attention to the inheritance of blood and family lineage, and more firmly adhered to the so-called division of concubines in the Zhou ceremony. As the so-called child born to a slave maid, he is just a special high-level slave maid with noble blood for a lifetime, and there is always a world of separation from the noble half-brother of the maternal line.

And Jin Zhe's matrilineal status is a little better, but it is only the head of a small and powerful village, barely higher than ordinary people, and belongs to the top of the ranking of concubines, so under normal circumstances, it is impossible to compare with the daughter of the noble family of other counties who has already been designated, and the daughter of the noble family of other counties is out of brother Jin Lun.

It's just that because the sons of the former head of the family, Jin Lun, are too young to lead the retainers and serve the public in the war crisis, they temporarily designated Jin Zhe, who has no heirs among several brothers of the same generation, to temporarily take over the responsibilities of the head of the family.

And the sickness rushed to the hospital everywhere to ask for help, and before the sinking of the port of Rajin, the last ship was assigned to fate, which was also due to his arrangement and last decision.

Fortunately, although the Silla domain was generally evaluated as weak among the princes, there were still many mountain hunters who were able to hold bows from an early age and were even known for their good archery because of the mountainous nature of the area.

In order to alleviate the many taxes and servitudes imposed on them by the feudal family, they often served in the nearest feudal family when they became adults, and then played an indispensable role in the disputes and encroachments of the princes as the archers of the large and small village clans.

At least in this Haiyang City, in addition to the soldiers of the Jin clan, there are at least more than 2,000 Tuhu archers of all kinds who have been recruited, as well as a few survivors of the clan who have escaped, and they also brought dozens to hundreds of escorts.

In a sense, the combination of soft and hard means lags behind, and these guards have also become a force that Kim Chol's subordinates can temporarily control.

These thieves came out almost without warning, and they swelled and expanded like a blow, and from the scabies in a corner of the small Fuluo clan on the coast at the southeast end of the peninsula, they repeatedly broke through the suppression from the feudal family like divine help, and finally destroyed the residence of the Furo clan, and in a short time, the wildfire spread wildfire.

Next, the nearby feudal princes who were awakened were sent out by the multi-way crusade army, which was also defeated by this gang of thieves one by one, and then in the weakness of the lost army, the city was broken and declared destroyed.

And the name of this so-called Mengshan is said to be the village where bandits were entrenched at the beginning.

Due to the endless strife over the years, the excessive internal urging, or simply because of the severe famine, under the rule of the Silla princes, there were many people who were desperate because of the people's lack of livelihood, and gathered into large and large bandits and half people, and lived outside the territory.

And the feudal families often out of a certain need to attack their opponents and do some dirty work, and also give these gray forces in the cracks, how much soil and leeway remain. But to be able to make the Mengshan thieves so big is an unprecedented thing.

Although they seem to have a mixed composition, almost everyone has them, they have a large number of crossbows, a considerable amount of armor, and even a horse team.

Before Haiyang City was besieged, several messengers sent out to ask for help were intercepted and captured by them, and their flesh and blood were dragged back to Haiyang City from behind their horses.

You know, their armor, equipment, and food didn't come out of nowhere. Even in this land of Silla, an ordinary feudal family of the size of the Kim clan and the Shang clan can have hundreds of Tibetan armor. It's already the sky.

Not to mention, he has already appeared in the confrontation between attack and defense, including accurate marksmen and seemingly experienced volunteers, as well as brave outsiders, and even some Japanese soldiers from the Fusang Islands.

I'm afraid that there are many shady scenes and reasons behind it, and it is not his Jin clan who can afford it. There are only a few major upheavals in history that can be compared.

He could only hope that he could hold on for a long time, and hold on to the princes of the outer Daobei County, get the news and react, and send a joint crusade against the soldiers.

Although he was not a good general or a feudal lord who had been deliberately cultivated since childhood, his experience of traveling abroad to study (as a hostage) gave him some organization and coordination, so that the materials and personnel in the city did not waste too much money in the panic and chaos.

However, it is clear that this possibility seems to be getting smaller and smaller as time goes by. It has only been besieged for half a month, and although there are still years of savings and wealth in the city, and there is no shortage of Ding Zhuang and equipment, it cannot stop the atmosphere of more and more pessimism and disappointment.

After all, apart from petty border conflicts and village-scale battles, the Kim clan had not heard of a war for a long time. The only force that supported it was the private army that had been maintained in order to ensure the trade of the Sea 6, plus some long-term employment.

therefore

He had already secretly confessed to the female relatives of the clan, regardless of the old and young, who painted their faces with pot ashes, as well as the filth that was ready to be poured on their bodies, no matter what happened, as long as they could persist enough to survive, everything was still possible.

Judging by what happened to those families, at least compared to the male members who had to be cut down, the women had a better chance of survival, although it could have been a painful and torturous process.

"Oh no......"

A cronie ran to their side in a panic and suddenly lowered his voice.

"The old feudal lord and the head of the family are gone......"

"What."

Jin Zhe couldn't help shaking his body when he heard the news, and he felt a little angry and bitter in his heart, and felt a sweet smell in his throat, but he held back it.

"The thing of the time ......"

"It was this morning when the internal management agent went to deliver the goods and consumption accounts, and it was ......"

The man said with sincere fear

"A few little sons and eldest ladies ......"

"I asked most of the rest of the people in the house, but they didn't know what it was......

"Where was the last person who saw them......"

Kim Chol endured the feeling of dizziness and cold limbs.

"It's ...... the ancestral hall"

The man hurriedly replied

"I was called by the old man last night, saying that I had something to explain in front of the ancestors......"

At this moment, Jin Zhe had already suddenly understood, and he was afraid that in the ancestral hall of his family, there would be secret passages or hidden places that he did not know, as the last retreat and vitality of the Jin family.

It's just that by this time, it's too late to say anything.

It's just that he and most of the people in the city who are resisting were abandoned, although he knew that the other party might have to do it as a last resort, just to keep the last blood and incense, but he still couldn't help but be angry and resentful.

What is the purpose of all this hard work?

As if echoing his mood, those Mengshan thieves who kept attacking one after another began to slow down their intensity and batches.

And the Mengshan thieves under the city also began to turn their heads to look in a certain direction.

It seems that he saw a large snowy ground in the distance, which was faintly undulating and moving, is this the earth dragon turned over, Jin Zhe picked up the nearby mirror and looked into the distance with some hesitation and stunned.

Then it took a long time to see that it was a procession of snowflakes after a queue of snowflakes. Because of the dense and neat queue, in the white snow, it is like a piece of white ground surging forward.

And above those marching arrays, even the lead-colored clouds and the small snowflakes that were still fluttering seemed to be repelled by some invisible force.

In the white skylight that gradually penetrates through the clouds and is reflected again, there is a kind of transient clarity and visibility of snow clearing.

In this way, they calmly drove towards Haiyang City, and in the neat and solemn slow approach, only the somewhat suffocating rustling footsteps remained. Even the Mengshan thieves who hurriedly turned around in the city also lost their voices for a short time and were stunned.

Until the other party has reached an invisible critical point, it is like a beehive that has been pierced, and it is like an enraged bee colony, shouting and shouting from all directions, making a posture of taking the initiative to meet it.

Then, their expressions and tones at this moment were drowned out by the overwhelming shouts and roars from the opposite side, mixed with the dense beeping sound of fried beans, like firecrackers that burn during the New Year's holidays, one after another.

Suddenly, from a distance, those Mongol thieves who rushed out from under Haiyang City seemed to have been gnawed off a large piece from the edge of the front by some invisible force.
