Chapter 129: Saying that it is good to pay to the end
In the middle of the night, in the Jinbing camp in Lingqiu County, an unwarranted fire rose into the sky, and it was still burning the granary!
After counting the grain and grass, the silver technique that had been busy for a day could only go to sleep, ready to sleep well, and set off early tomorrow to send it to the commander of the front line, Wan Yan Zonghan, to relieve the urgent need before the battle. This fire directly burned his heart in horror, and he almost drew his sword to kill himself!
-- Isn't this a direct dig into the hearts of the army on the West Road of the Dajin Kingdom!
In this place where the Jin Kingdom army is heavily guarded, who can have such the ability to burn the little grain and grass that they have gathered with all their might?!
The frightened and corrupt silver art can fight fires and hunt down arsonists like crazy with the Jurchen soldiers.
But on this dry and cold day, most of the people who wanted to get water to extinguish the fire were frozen. In addition, the arsonist is very good at choosing the time, and the wind is strong here in the middle of the night, which helps the fire power to get out of control. The grain and grass loaded on the car are all bundled and tied tightly, and they are connected to each other in a circle.
This fire is hopeless, seeing that tens of thousands of stones, grains and grass are about to be turned into nothing, Yinshu is also desperate, and can only sprinkle his anger on the arsonist!
Meng De, Ma Kuo, and the last surviving 180 Xishan heroes didn't seem to have thought that they would be able to go back alive after setting this fire. They avoided the Jin people and set fire in circles, not only did they flee but also burned more and more, and then the entire military camp was almost set on fire, and the raging fire lit up the sky, and people shouted and screamed and panicked, a doomsday scene!
It was almost dawn, and after burning a heartbeat to the fullest, Meng De and Ma Kuo, who had escaped the golden sword and axe, fled into the snowy mountains. When they came to the predetermined post-event meeting point to count the number of people, there were only twelve of them left.
Not long after, the main Guan Mountain of Qixing Mountain led a team of 1,000 foot riders, and also touched the Flying Fox Road along the secluded path at the foot of Taihang Mountain.
People are not as good as heaven, since the strategy has been broken, Guan Shan doesn't say a word - it can be fought with silver!
Yinshu can first pursue the arsonist, and secondly, he mainly goes to Wanyan Zonghan to ask for guilt, and inform him of the serious changes that occurred in Lingqiu County as soon as possible, so that he can take contingency measures as soon as possible. Therefore, he brought only five or six hundred horses and horses, and the road in Feihukou was dangerous and inaccessible, and he brought more soldiers and horses to delay the trip.
Guan Shan regarded death as if he wanted to seize this military throat, and Yinshu was anxious to report to Wanyan Zonghan, and the two sides fought very fiercely. In the narrow flying fox road, he suddenly shouted to kill the heavens and shed a river of blood, which was really worthy of the name like "ghosts and gods fighting each other"!
In the end, the sum of 1,500 men on both sides was less than 100; Although the one-armed Guan Shan is brave and invincible, he is no match for cold guns and dark arrows and is wounded in many places, but he is still invincible; The Jurchen fierce general Yinshu was seriously injured by Guan Shan himself and almost died on the spot, but fortunately, several iron cavalry dead soldiers escorted him to break through desperately, and finally escaped from this dangerous mountain road and went straight to the garrison of Yan Zonghan's army!
The Jurchens were retreated, but Guan Shan's men were no longer many. Even if they seize this military chokepoint, they will not be able to set up a defense, let alone attack the granary of the Jurchens! He had to sigh deeply - what a bad day, a bad luck!
At this time, more than a dozen "wild men" suddenly slipped down from the mountain, which frightened Guan Shan and the others, who were already exhausted after the bloody battle!
The two sides looked at each other, and they were both greatly surprised; Meng De, the owner of Xishan Dazhai, and Guan Shan, the owner of Qixing Mountain Dazhai, actually reunited at such an incredible time and place.
After making a long story short and clarifying the ins and outs, the two agreed that since the grain and grass in Lingqiu had been burned, Wanyan Zonghan's heart had been hollowed out; In addition, he beat Yinshu hard, but he only had half his life left to see Yan Zonghan back, which was enough to make the Jurchens break their muscles and bones, and make them think that the retreat of the Flying Fox Road had been blocked!
This military plan, which had been drawn up by Chu Tianya before the war had even begun, had now finally been perfected; The greatest and most important turning point in the First World War of Taiyuan finally appeared.
Keep the clouds open and see the sunrise!
Guan Shan and Meng De rode on the remnants of the Jurchen war horses on the spot and galloped all the way to Taihang Qixing Mountain. What we have to do now is to seize the fighter plane to bottom out and bounce back and launch a strategic counteroffensive against the Jurchens!
At this time, Wanyan Zonghan was personally commanding the army and launching the "last attack" on Taiyuan. The thin and short Taiyuan city wall, after months of baptism of Luan War, has long been incomplete and riddled with holes. In many places, it can only be filled by relying on human walls.
Today's war is unprecedentedly tragic. In the city of Taiyuan, everyone who could move blocked the city wall in all directions, swearing to defend this ruined city that shared their weal and woe forever.
Things have already come to this point, and Chu Tianya can't care about any Wang Yu's ban, and once again participated in the battle with injuries. But this time, he had He Bo and Xiaofei by his side, and Xiao Linglong, not far from the other side, was fighting hard with Anu back to back.
In order to protect Chu Tianya, he also suffered a cold arrow in the melee and was stabbed in the back. Chu Tianya hurriedly asked Xiao Fei to drag this stubborn old man away from the battlefield. But he himself and Xiao Linglong were also injured in many places later, if they hadn't both worn a good set of good armor, I am afraid that they would have been dismantled by the people.
After several fierce battles, several groups of Jin soldiers entered the city from the broken city wall, Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong were ordered to lead the army patrol and the Yaksha army to be responsible for encircling and killing the Jurchens who entered the city, and launched a fierce street battle with them.
At this time, Taiyuan City had been beaten into a leaky sieve by the Jurchens, and there were Jurchens everywhere in the city. If it weren't for the crumbling city wall still blocking their cavalry from entering, Taiyuan could be said to have been breached!
Originally, the battle was only limited to the Sifang City Gate, but irretrievably infiltrated into the city, and even the center of Taiyuan City, the former prosperous Tangming Street, there was a fierce struggle to the death.
The Jurchens who invaded the city originally thought that as long as their men and horses were killed, Taiyuan would completely collapse and collapse. What they didn't expect was that Taiyuan's defense was quite layered, and the head of the city was still fighting to prevent the Jurchen's cavalry from entering the city; In the city, in addition to the military patrol Chu family army and the women's yaksha army fighting with the power of the army, there are all kinds of strange "civilian guerrilla forces" waiting for them!
The war completely burned through the entire Taiyuan City; However, it did not destroy the city after all!
Thousands of Jurchens from all directions entered the city, but the Taiyuan people in the city, including the old, the weak, the wounded, and the disabled, would rather use their teeth and fists to fight to the death against the Jurchens' knives and guns, and none of them fled in panic or were killed. The Taiyuan people did not hesitate to pay four or five times the price of dead and wounded by the Jurchens, and finally annihilated them all in the city!
When the battle came to this, Wanyan Zonghan was finally really dead-hearted, and he had no idea about the city in front of him.
"Ben Shuai has been fighting for half his life, and he has never seen such a city, and he has never seen a crowd more crazy than a wolf pack!" This is the original words that Wanyan Zonghan said to Shi Liai.
Shi Liai also sighed, "The ancient proverb of the Central Plains, how brave the sons and daughters of Yan Zhao are, and the fierceness and fierceness of today's Taiyuan people really prove this." As early as the beginning of the founding of the Southern Dynasty, the ferocity and tenacity of the Taiyuan people once made the two generations of officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties suffer. Otherwise, Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, would not have extinguished the predecessor of the small city of Taiyuan in front of him, the thousand-year-old ancient city of Jinyang, to vent his personal anger. Now those half-dead Taiyuan people in the city are not inferior to the elite soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom in the slightest! It seems that they have all resigned themselves to death, and they would rather die than resist to the end. If this battle continues, even if we finally take Taiyuan, we will only be able to harvest a dilapidated empty city, with no supplies, no prisoners, and no defense. The casualties of our army will be unprecedentedly large, and the battle will be exhausted. In the end, maybe it will be profited by Xu Han's fishermen - wolf master, it's better to stop, let's withdraw the army! ”
Wan Yan Zonghan was about to nod, and a group of pawns hurriedly carried a person to see Wan Yan Zonghan - the person on the stretcher was Yinshuke!
……
At this time, on Tangming Street in Taiyuan City, the former star-picking downstairs.
Chu Tianya leaned against the big red pillar outside the door of the Star Picking Tower, his head was lowered with a gun, his chest was torn like a sharp pain, and a trace of blood was overflowing from his mouth.
The arrow wound had not healed and new injuries were added, coupled with the lack of food and drink and the overdraft, and now he was on the verge of semi-coma.
Around him, more than a hundred corpses were scattered, including Jurchens and military patrols, as well as old people and children. Several people lay on the ground convulsing from time to time, and they did not know whether they were dead or alive; In the alley not far away, several wounded people with missing limbs and legs were crawling around wailing in pain; The cold wind whistled by, and several red lanterns with broken paper rolled in front of Chu Tianya. It's just that no big living person came to hang in front of him.
"I can't die, I can't die! ......" Chu Tianya kept saying this to himself, and as soon as he raised his head violently, he opened his eyes deadly, and happened to see a fiery figure at the corner of the street, holding a red-tasseled and bloody Taining pen, staggering towards him.
Chu Tianya wiped the corners of his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of blood gushing into his throat. I don't know where the strength came from, but he actually strode towards the red figure.
Then, he hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Bang dang", Tai Ning's pen gun fell to the cold and hard ground.
"I know...... I'm dying. It's not bad to be able to see you. The man in his arms whispered like a dream.
Chu Tianya pulled her face up and kissed her bloodless lips.
"We're not going to die! ――I said that I would accompany you to the end! ”
"Didn't you say that being unreasonable and not keeping promises has always been my forte?" Although she was already angry, she actually smiled, "This time, I really may ......"
"No possibility! Gotta live! Chu Tianya yelled, "Xiao Linglong, listen, I like you...... No, Lao Tzu loves you! You have to live for me and be my wife! ”
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to tell." Xiao Linglong collapsed and leaned on Chu Tianya's body completely, curled up in his arms, and whispered very weakly, "Chu Tianya, will there be a day when you regret knowing me?" ”
"I only regret that I didn't know you sooner." Chu Tianya hugged him tightly, trembling slightly, and the two tears finally rolled down irrepressibly and dripped onto Xiao Linglong's face in his arms.
Xiao Linglong stretched out her hand to wipe the man's tears on her face, put it in her mouth and tasted it, and suddenly said, "Salty." You lie. ”
Chu Tianya, who was grieving himself in vain, couldn't help but be stunned and didn't come back to his senses, "What? ”
Xiao Linglong pushed Chu Tianya away and shook that finger at him, "Didn't you tell me that sincere tears are sweet, so why was this drop salty just now?" That must be you lying to me - either that sentence deceived me, or you are lying to me now. ”
Chu Tianya's face cramped and he was directly speechless, almost petrified on the spot, "You are fooling me?" ”
"If it weren't for that, you, a weird man who is full of city affairs and nonsense, would tell me these meaty words?" The corners of Xiao Linglong's mouth lifted lightly, and she smiled treacherously, mysteriously, and charmingly, and then picked up the Taining pen gun and threw it on the ground, "Still stunned?" Since he is not dead, go back to the camp to rectify the soldiers and horses! ”
Chu Tianya had an unprecedented feeling of "completely defeated", grinning and looking at Xiao Linglong with a smirk, and he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
When Xiao Linglong saw him like this, she smiled proudly. She turned around and dragged the Taining pen gun behind her, holding it horizontally with both hands, swaying and walking forward slowly, still chanting words in her mouth like a shaman dancing a god-
"It's as if someone has boasted that there are two kinds of men in the world who are most cherished. One is a man who has never shed only tears, who has shed blood for you; The other is that the man who has never bled has shed tears for you...... But how could there be the same man who did both things for me? Xiao Linglong, Xiao Linglong, are you lucky, or lucky, or lucky? ”
Chu Tianya stood in place with his hands on his hips and was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly, picked up the spear that fell to the ground, and chased after Xiao Linglong in stride, but he couldn't help but scold in his mouth-
"It's really a teaching student, kill the master! - I'll never tell her these bullshit quotes again! ”
