The group of Jurchen cavalry did not stop until they walked thirty or forty steps below the city head, and their faces did not change in the face of the bows and crossbows covered at the city head.

Everyone raised their heads and kept looking at a head hanging on a flagpole at the head of the city, and a soldier at the head of the city untied the flagpole that was originally fixed on the battlement, held it in his hand, and waved it left and right a few times, as if he was deliberately showing off to the people under the city.

He also shouted with a smile: "Look at everything, do you see clearly?" This is the Jurchen general Hu Liyan, who was cut off by the head of the dog by His Royal Highness King Yan, the head of the dog is here, haha... ”

The soldiers at the head of the city laughed when they heard this, and nothing seemed more relieving than this.

The small group of Jurchens under the city obviously also recognized the head of the person hanging in the air, but when they saw that there was a person on the head of the city who was still shaking his head, they were already furious, and some people took out bows and crossbows and shot at the city. It's to shoot the man who is holding the flagpole and swaying from side to side.

The soldier saw the movements of the Jurchens in the city, and hurriedly dodged, and the feather arrows that shot straight up from above and below crossed the battlement, and then flew into the air.

But the soldier was not angry, raised his head and shouted: "Haha... Annoyed and angry, recognized? It's your general Liyan, haha... ”

Above the battle array, human nature and morality are no longer there, only the battle array and fighting, and only a bad breath in the heart.

At this time, above the city, the bows and crossbows were buzzing, and the Jurchens had already started their hands, and all the soldiers were opening their bows and arrows, and they were about to fight back.

Zheng Zhi didn't stop these soldiers from making fun of the head, but just said again: "Throw the head down, let this group of people take it back to Wu Qi, and let them go." ”

The left and right commanders shouted a few words, and the crossbow also stopped, and did not fire. This action frightened the Jurchens in the city, and most of them dismounted and hid behind the horses, ready to draw their bows to counterattack. The Jurchens are brave, but they are not stupid.

Seeing that no arrows were fired at the top of the city, this group of Jurchens poked their heads out, remounted their horses, and prepared to retreat.

But it was the soldier who was holding the flagpole who actually stood on top of the battlement and shouted: "Wait, His Royal Highness King Yan of my family is merciful and compassionate, and send you and other barbarian dogs a dog head, and you will take them back, and you will be enshrined." ”

After saying that, the soldier sent the flagpole back, threw it forward vigorously, and threw the flagpole with the head straight for dozens of steps, falling to the ground and rolling endlessly. But it was the head that had been cleaned, and it was now covered with dust.

The group of Jurchen cavalry, beating their horses and leaving, did not slow down when they passed by the place of the head, but leaned down and picked up the head on the ground with the flagpole. Then he cut off the flagpole tied to the skull, threw down the flagpole, and ran away with the head in his arms.

The soldiers at the head of the city were all laughing, talking left and right, pointing forward, leaning forward and closing back.

Zheng Zhi's face became serious, and he shouted: "Order, prepare for war!" ”

That person arrived at the northern Jurchen camp, who is it if he is not Hu Liyan?

The crowd was stunned, and they even heard the report from the soldiers, saying that the city was full of Jurchen heads, and everyone could not bear it.

"Your Majesty, let's attack the city, either I haven't fought with Song Dog in front of my head, or I have also gained an advantage, but the emperor didn't want the clan to consume it, so he ordered to stop the war. If you fight the last clan, you will also kill that Zheng Zhi. Wan Yan Muhan gritted his teeth when he said, and at this time, the hatred has surpassed the original friendship, and it has gone too far.

He who was barely able to sit up also said angrily: "Your Majesty, I have also attacked the city wall in front of my head, and if I attack again this time, I will definitely be able to go to the city, and it is not difficult to kill that Zheng Zhi." Your Majesty ordered. ”

As soon as the words of the two came out, there were more than a dozen Jurchen generals in the entire tent, all of whom were angry and begged for battle.

Only Wanyan Xiyin did not speak, but buried his head in thought.

Yelu Yujian and several other Liao generals who surrendered also bowed their heads and remained silent. But Yelu Yu saw that if there was a war, the five or six thousand Khitan men under his command would probably bear the brunt of the war, and after the Koreans, it would be himself. This Wu Sangui of the former Great Liao, his mind at this time is obviously not the same as that of the Jurchens.

After Yan Wu begged to buy this, his face was embarrassed, and he was also thinking. After thinking for a long time, he looked around at everyone before he spoke: "Catch up with all the Koreans, and send an order, if the Koreans can't attack the city, all the Koreans will die." ”

As soon as Wu Qimai's words came out, Mu Han had already come out of the military tent, and while ordering the drumming, he led people to drive away the Goryeo.

Above the city, preparations for war had already begun, Zheng Zhi looked at the Goryeo people who were slowly gathering in the distance, gave a few commands, and turned his head to go down the city.

After a long time, the Koreans with no end in sight began to come to the city, brandishing shabby swords and carrying long shaves one by one.

The generals at the head of the city had already opened their mouths and shouted: "First smash it with your head, and then use a wooden rolling stone when your head is finished." ”

A head weighs more than ten catties, and if you add an iron helmet, it will weigh more than ten catties, which can be used as a stone to smash people, but it is also suitable.

Countless Goryeo people probably also understand their mission now, attacking the city to death, and not attacking it to death. It is inevitable that one will die left and right, and if you are lucky enough to attack the city, you can live.

But these Goryeo people, they didn't think about the rebellion, among these people, there are also many soldiers of the original Goryeo Kingdom, who have seen the power of the Jurchens, and they have really become loyal and obedient slaves, even the Jurchens also said that meritorious service can be exempted from the status of slaves, which is also a kind of longing and hope. Insensitivity is the main mentality.

The morale of such a charge is not bad, and after facing the rain of arrows in the sky, this momentum comes and goes quickly. Since you are alive, there is a difference between dying early and dying late, and it is better to live for a while than to die on the spot.

Some clever Koreans had some different ideas, and when they saw a head fall and knock down a person next to them, some smart people picked up the head on the ground and picked up another one.

Then he took the two heads in his arms, turned and ran, and went straight to the back.

ran for a long time, until in front of the Jurchen who was in the back formation, and saw the Jurchen step forward with a knife, the Korean man quickly knelt on the ground and handed the two heads in his arms forward.

The two didn't understand the language, but it was the Jurchen man who really put away the knife, took the two heads and turned away.

The Goryeo didn't dare to follow the Jurchen man, so he turned around and went to the charging Goryeo pile, which was the case, but he was in the rear again, but he thought in his heart that he could probably save his life.

More and more Koreans turned and ran around with the smashed heads on the city. More and more Jurchen heads were sent to the rear.

This kind of thing also changed the flavor of this scene of charging and attacking the city.

Wu Qimai saw the situation in front of him, stood up on the platform and shouted: "Tell those brutes, don't have heads, tell them to rush to the city." As long as the city is broken, there are no heads. ”

The soldiers rushed forward, and then the Goryeo people who returned with their heads, and the Jurchen men stepped forward with their knives to cut them.

Even the Jurchens had already poured into the Goryeo and began to supervise and drive the Goryeo people forward.

Corpses are everywhere, wailing everywhere, but how can these Koreans who don't even have armor get to the top of the city. If manpower could be combined in one place, it might be possible to directly tear down the city wall. Just climbing up through this long ladder and wanting to break the city is obviously unrealistic. The soldiers above the city stood straight one by one, and some even took off their armor and worked hard to lift heavy objects and smash them down, but there was not even a single feather arrow under the city.

Zheng Zhi got down the city wall and returned to the big tent, and the desk inside the big tent was full of official documents from all over the world. Zhou Duwen has already been sorted out and classified.

Putting the debriefing class together, most of these are not urgent, just reporting some things. Putting the instructions together, these are more urgent. More urgent ones are placed at the forefront, such as Liu Zhengyan's letter from the northwest.

Zheng Zhi looked at Liu Zhengyan's letter, frowned, and thought that this little Liu Xianggong was really a little overbearing, so he hurriedly said: "Duwen, I said you write, quickly send out the letter back to Liu Zhengyan." ”

Zhou Duwen hurriedly picked up the pen and prepared, and the ink had been polished.

"Liu Xiang's public security is good, and the letter is informed, and there is something wrong. has already been folded the Great Seal of the Soldier Talisman, and led the troops to return to Pingxia quickly. Qinzhou should not stay for a long time. Fold, and don't guess, wait for the overall situation to be determined, and then plan. In addition, self-security is in danger, and it is prudent and prudent. ”

replied a few words, and asked if there was any dissenting heart, and Liu Zhengyan should not be entangled at this time. Anyway, the heart of defense is indispensable, and since Liu Zhengyan has obtained the obtainable talisman and the big seal, it is also a harvest. It is a safe policy to return to Pingxia as soon as possible. Zheng Zhi also reminded Liu Zhengyan to be cautious about his personal safety.

After the letter was written, Liu Zhengyan's messenger was found, and he was already rushing out.

After two days, Qinzhou, but it was possible to ask for it but received a battle report earlier, the Jurchen soldiers still entered the pass, and were dragged by several people and horses in Huaihua, Zheng Zhi personally led 15,000 horsemen into the battle, and more than 10,000 Jurchens were killed and wounded.

This news shocked Zhe Keqiu, and Zheng Zhisheng won! There is no need to worry about the future, and the heavy troops at the pass confront the Jurchens. This news makes it a little difficult to accept.

If Zheng Zhi really defeated the Jurchens, looking back, he would be the Qinzhou Governor who did not listen to orders.

Things are always like this, I wanted to wait for the news of Zheng Zhi's defeat and then tried to plot in the northwest, but the news of Zheng Zhi's victory came.

"Xianggong, Zheng Zhi was able to slaughter more than 10,000 Jurchen iron horsemen so easily, why are the Jurchens so useless? Didn't I hear that Zheng Zhi fought with the Jurchens in the grassland, and the Jurchens gained an advantage? Zheng Zhi's men suffered far more casualties than the Jurchens. Why did Zheng Zhi win this battle so easily? Meng Lang opened his mouth to question the authenticity of this matter, but he also did not believe that Zheng Zhizhi easily came out of the decisive battle in Gubei, and easily destroyed more than 10,000 Jurchen iron cavalry, and the Jurchen destroyed Daliao with 40,000 soldiers and horses, and also fought with Zheng Zhi.

Meng Lang naturally didn't know the details of Huaihua's battle, but he felt that Zheng Zhi won too easily.

Zhe Keqiu also said: "You see that in the letters, the king of Jiangnan and Hu Yanzhuo of Hebei are all fighting to the death. I also feel a little unbelievable. However, when the scout came back, he was very sure, not to mention that he had been to the battlefield, and there were countless corpses in Huaihua City. It's really unpredictable. ”

When Meng Lang heard this, he didn't question this somewhat untrustworthy news anymore, he was worried, and asked: "Xianggong, if Zheng Zhi defeats the Jurchen and turns his head, what should be done?" ”

"How's that good?" Fold Keqiu paced again, repeated, and pondered.

After a long time, Zhe Keqiu showed his fierce light and said, "How are you preparing to go hunting before your head?" ”

Meng Lang was shocked when he heard this, and replied: "This matter doesn't require much preparation, some food and water have already been prepared." ”

"Okay, go with a certain to invite Xiao Liu Xianggong and ask him to hunt far away." I have already made up my mind.

The matter has come to this point, the previous strategy of plotting the northwest is to seek to be the emperor of the northwest, and the strategy of plotting the northwest at this time is to seek more chips to protect himself.

Smart people are more prepared for a rainy day, and they also know that Zheng Zhi can't let himself go easily. Those who are superior can always empathize and put themselves in their shoes. If you can ask for Zheng Zhi, you can't tolerate anyone who doesn't listen to your orders.

But in fact, there is a way out, which is to hand over the soldiers and horses, resign from the official position, at least make a gesture of handing over the soldiers and horses and resigning from the official position, and let Zheng Zhi decide.

Even if Zheng Zhi nodded and agreed to resign, he could enjoy his old age in peace. Under Zheng Zhi's trust, it is possible to keep it and ask for it, and everyone is happy. If you accept that ambition and lead the army as an official with peace of mind, it will not hurt to be rich in the future.

But it's this back road, and I can't seem to think of it at this time, and I probably haven't thought about it in this direction in my head. The place where strong soldiers and strong generals are born in the northwest is also a place where they can stand on their own. Li Yuanhao, a party item, is not so self-reliant. At that time, Li Yuanhao, the land under his jurisdiction and the people under his jurisdiction were far inferior to these northwest roads.

I haven't thought of anything to stand on my own as a country, but I have thought about the matter of separating one side, the Great Song Dynasty is already shaking in the wind and rain, Zheng Zhi can secede one side, and how can I rely on the northwest to secede it?

Before the road was divided, there was also a Xihe Lanhuang and Qinfeng Road that was slightly controlled by Liu Zhengyan. Entrenched in the northwest to protect himself, this Liu Zhengyan is obviously unable to live.
