Occasionally, in the depths of the night, there would be a sudden sound of screams, but the people who had the courage to escape in the night were captured by the Jurchen Tartar patrol and lost their lives.

The corpses of these corpses were frozen with blood and mud and would be tied to the Jurchen patrol horses and dragged back, and thrown in the camp where the common people and men gathered, thinking that they were shocked, and the most courageous ones died, and those who refused to accept their fate died, and the remaining thousands of people sat around the campfire and hung their heads deeply.

Waiting for this long cold night to pass as soon as possible, if you can live one more moment, it is a moment, how long you can keep this life, no one knows, and even too numb to care, this day is too long, this troubled world is too long.

In real history, this troubled era will last for nearly 20 years, from north to south, the Jurchen Tatar soldiers even went deep into the south of the Yangtze River, chasing Song Gaozong to the sea to avoid, and the people of the Han family died like ants in these 20 years, not to mention tens of millions? After five generations of troubled times, the vitality of China, which was slightly raised, was severely frustrated.

And this is only the beginning of a campaign that has lasted for more than a hundred years in East Asia and brutally destroyed civilization!

Another terrible scream came from the night sky, pulled by the cold wind, and when it reached a beacon platform at the head of the city, it had become fragmented, and in this beacon platform made of large stones, seven or eight torches were lit in it.

The high-level generals of the Ulzhou garrison and Gao Pet are all discussing here, Gao Pet is the second son of the Gao family of the first family in Taiyuan, and there is kung fu, at this time just look outside, that is, know that the Jurchen reinforcements are coming, and the already tense atmosphere in the city of Ulzhou is even more heavy.

All the generals took turns to go to the city day and night, inspecting the defense, stabilizing the morale of the army, and Gao Zhong never returned to her office that was quite comfortable, and also sideways among the soldiers of the defending army to boost morale.

I'm really tired. Wrapped in a cloak, he found a shed under the city to stack the equipment to defend the city and slept for an hour or two, Ulzhou hung alone in the north, and Han Shizhong in the east suppressed the Jurchen Tartar Wanyan Zongwang, and there was no northern aid.

And the main force of the Jinyang Army and the Song Army on Hedong Road didn't know when they would be able to take care of it and when they would be able to approach Ulzhou. And the military horses in the city are all miscellaneous, not only the unstable factor of Zheng Heng's department, but also many of the other seven or eight hundred military horses are newly expanded.

"How to keep? How long can it last? To be honest, I don't have the confidence, can we hold on for so long? ”

"With such a strong city, what can't you hold onto? With the Jurchen Tartars' attacking tools, it's really not enough to see. Take people to fill in, two thousand Jurchen Tartars. How much can I fill in? If there is a large army coming down from the north, even if there is a regular army of 10,000 and tens of thousands of auxiliary troops to support it. Ice and snow, eat and eat poor Jurchen Tartars, such a strong city, the most suitable for the besieging army, the more Jurchen Tartars come, the greater the grasp of holding Ulzhou! ”

"How do I not know that there is a strong city to rely on? The fortification of the city of Ulju. That's nothing to say, but it's still people who defend the city! These more than a thousand defenders. If it is all the Song army, I will not be straight for a few years, and the Jurchen Tartars will come with tens of thousands, or fight with the city, or choose the elite to attack its grain route, and there will be reinforcements outside. Don't be afraid to come late, I want to see how good the Jurchen Tartars are, and they can gnaw down this strong city! But now, the defenders in the city are the Song army, right? ”

"That's right, who would have thought that the Jurchen Tartars would dare to go deep alone? Now there are still hundreds of Zheng Heng's bird army in the city. Zheng Heng is thinking right, but the people below him can't be suppressed, when I patrol the city, I watched them talk to each other, what are they talking about, as soon as I pass, no one speaks, who knows what they have in mind? Here Zheng Heng's more than 1,000 people and horses also brought the hearts of the whole city to fluctuate, with these defenders, who dares to say that they can defend Ulzhou and wait for reinforcements to come north? ”

"According to my intentions, kill Zheng Heng and his army! At this time, for the sake of the overall situation, who can take care of it? ”

"It's not difficult to kill Zheng Heng, so how can this Zheng Heng's subordinates be willing to die? Naturally, people's hearts are floating, there are strong enemies outside, but they kill their own generals inside, and they are in turmoil, so do you want Ulzhou to do it? ”

"Don't want it, even if we retreat to a dangerous place, we can hold out for a month or two, and the Jurchen Tartars can easily attack?"

There is a strong enemy outside, and there is fear of change inside, even though they know that it is not a good thing to tighten the strings like this, the generals in the city still have to reluctantly make it difficult.

Gao Zhong first settled down the floating military heart due to the sudden arrival of reinforcements from the north of the Jurchen, sorted out the city defense again, and after a few hours of busyness, the garrison and war equipment were counted and sorted out again, and many houses in the city were demolished, and the stones were used to make stones, and the wood was used to prepare boiling water to boil gold juice.

The defenders of the city head were further deployed, striving to use every penny of manpower, and the main city of the city and the small fort outside the city were guarded, and the places that felt that there were still some thin places were reinforced with large stones and soil, and even the dense deer barns outside the city were made and planted.

When the enemy was pressing the city, the main general patrolled the camp at night, which was a natural thing, even those Song army generals who were sent to Zheng Heng's side to monitor could not be stopped.

During the inspection, it is nothing more than to see whether the sergeants who come down to rest after taking turns on duty can get hot food, how well they are warming, whether there are people who go back and forth at night, whether there are signs of noise and chaos in the camp, whether the morale of the army is high or low, whether there is uneven bitterness and happiness among the various departments, and stifle everything that may cause changes at the time when there are signs of change.

Commanding the army for the generals, just like alchemy and hatching eggs, requires great energy and patience, needs to be diligent in the feet, eyes and mouths, and must be taken care of everywhere.

This barracks is really not big, and in the blink of an eye, most of the patrols are carried out, everything is as usual, the soldiers are sleeping peacefully in the camp, there are patrols around, and the generals on duty do not show any slackness.

Zheng Heng pretended to be satisfied and stood still, looking back left and right: "Everything is still as usual, that's it tonight, the fire in my tent is burning strongly, this thief is a cold bird day, and he can't eat and drink in battle, roasting the bird fire and sleeping comfortably, who knows if the fight is dead or alive?" ”

Everyone around him had nothing to say, Zheng Heng's military tent was deliberately set up in a camp that was not in his department, and now Zheng Heng wanted to turn back, it was the best, and when he was about to leave, he saw a sudden figure at the door of a wing room. The barracks building used as this small temple has long been in decline, and the wing room has no gate, and the entrance to the black hole is open.

Suddenly, more than a dozen figures poured out, these people did not raise fire, and the torches around the camp also illuminated their figures, all of them were soldiers under Zheng Heng's command, everyone was wearing armor, holding sharp blades, and ghosts flashed out! (To be continued......)
