Chapter 589: The People of the North and the South, and the Things of the North and the South
"The west wind is within a radius of dozens of miles, and I am not familiar with it, so I can only roughly determine whether it is right to go over there, and whether there is a detour, I don't know."
"Just have a direction, you are Feng Yukui's person, let you recognize the territory of the overlord flower, it is indeed difficult for some strong people, but don't think about fooling, we are here to save people, if it's late, make sure you feed the wolf alive."
Xie Shence smiled, this person finally began to say some useful information, he laughed and got up, and took off the damp and cold coat on his body. They did the same, and finally buried it and covered it carefully.
The sun has come out, and there is actually no temperature in the mountain, but it is already close to the camp of the overlord flower, and the nervousness is excited, but it is not cold.
Feng Yukui's subordinate surnamed He, who was held hostage by Xie Shence and others, was once a well-known marksman in Hebei Province, and there were two great masters in the family. It's just that he offended the government and was wiped out - the great grandmaster couldn't match the crossbow arrows.
There are not many people who use it on the rivers and lakes, because it is inconvenient to carry and not suitable for fighting alone, so there are few people who have reached the peak.
Those who cultivate marksmanship to the highest level are often those in the military. Like Wang Ding, the governor of Huaiyang Dao, Sima Bi who has rebelled against the Jin State, and He Ruoque, the remnant of the Xiang clan. In the Qin State, there was Xu Huan, the general of the Hexi Army, and Ying Ji, the imperial general who guarded the southwest of the Qin State all the year round. The Zhang family of the Southern Song Dynasty is said to have special attainments in gunmanship.
In addition, there are also many martial arts families in the locality, and the He family in Hebei Province is famous for its gunnery. Its "attack is like a thunderbolt, and the defense is like a copper tripod" has always been admired, and it can be regarded as a more balanced offensive and defensive family among all kinds of marksmanship.
On the way, Xie Shence asked this person named He Xiang some things about the He family, he was reluctant to say, Xie Shence didn't force it, but just mentioned some key marksmanship, he listened carefully, and only said a few more words at this time.
The ancestral marksmanship of the He family has been lost after the murder case more than ten years ago, and He Xiang's practice is not systematic and complete, so it has been difficult to rank among the first-class. Xie Shence seems to understand the few points raised by him, which may not have much significance to him, but martial arts, the principle is actually seeking common ground while reserving differences, only in the moves, so that the touch is bypassed, and the stone of the mountain can attack the jade, but it can also make a breakthrough.
This is also the main reason why He Xiang can take the initiative to talk to Xie Shence.
In the evening of the same day, several people carefully avoided the spies of the four overlord flowers, and were stopped by the tight defense on the nearest hill where they could vaguely see the west wind leading Dazhai.
"Retreat five miles first, we have few people, they are not easy to find, but to be stronger, I am afraid that it will definitely not work, the west wind is heavily guarded, it can be seen that the cavalry and the government soldiers, the pressure on them is very great, for fear of mixing into the spies, this can be used to make a fuss If the war is stalemate, the opportunity will be greater."
That night, Xie Shence and the others retreated again and again, to ten miles away, and rested overnight at the midpoint between the government and the horse bandits.
Xie Shence and the others have no tents available, so they can only keep their backs warm at night, but in the army, whether it is the Xifeng Leader Camp of Overlord Flower or the camp of officers and soldiers, there are shelters that can shelter from the wind and rain.
Tian Zi was in the barracks at this time. After he got up, he looked at the map again and again, asked the soldier to call over a staff member, and asked: "Sir, you see, the Overlord Flower has set up a lot of checkpoints around the Zephyr Territory, with the existing manpower, unless it is ten times more crushed, otherwise if we don't get through these points, we will be in danger here sooner or later. ”
That staff member is also a well-known strategist in Shandong Province, and some people send the name of the poisoner, which is known as ruthless. He is not a person who sells fame and reputation, he has real skills, and he has also worked in the military for a while, so he is no stranger to these. I took the map and looked at it, and the staff marked the latest information from last night that I had only gotten this morning.
"One is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the second ridge is also a dangerous place for both the enemy and us, and the third ridge is more open, suitable for combat, but it is also unfavorable to us. The enemy can be arranged, we don't have large equipment, even if we bring it, the first two collars can't get through the plan for today, only to consume first, on the one hand, use the strategy of the arrogant army to relax their vigilance, on the other hand, we also need a reward, find a farmer who knows the way, and see if there is a path that can pass people"
These words are equivalent to not saying them, Tian Zi did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, patiently analyzed with the other party, but his heart was gloomy.
When this staff member said this, he was also helpless: all the methods that he could think of before had actually been said, and if they could still be used, they would have been said a long time ago. It's just that the defense of Overlord Flower is too tight, and since the fall of the first leader, he has personally presided over two battles and recaptured the pass that had been occupied by officers and soldiers. After that, the officers and men had no chance.
Personal charm and personal bravery were fully revealed in those two passes, which were not suitable for large-scale warfare. On the road that is only one zhang wide, with a high mountain on one side and a cliff on the other, the overlord flower is like that with a single sword, killing for an hour, killing seventy or eighty officers and soldiers, not moving forward an inch, and finally can only retreat.
Tian Zi is still terrified when he thinks back to that battle now.
Because of the difference in status and class, he came into contact with either a majestic military general or a free-flowing scribe. Women are also mostly gentle, everyone is beautiful, beautiful on the outside and good on the inside, there has never been a person like Overlord Flower, which is shocking.
That woman is like the god of war, an ancient sword from the Great Qin period, probably not a short sword with a history of seven or eight hundred years, in her hands it can be long or short, can be chopped or chopped, and the changes are endless, several people cooperate to go up, she just has two simple strokes, and she has to retreat here, and if she retreats slowly, she will break her hands and feet.
In addition to this woman, there was also a man with a bow and arrow, who was very skilled in archery, and Tian Zi had one ear wrapped in cotton cloth, which was taken by an arrow to the size of a fingernail - that arrow was a warning to let them know that the horse bandits had the ability to kill them.
With such a blatant slap in the face, Tian Zi actually didn't have much anger, in fact, he was a little lucky. He is not a child of the scholar clan in the true sense, and he attaches more importance to things like face and dignity on the outside, but he doesn't necessarily think much of it in his heart.
Because he is essentially a businessman, businessmen seek profit, and they do not attach so much importance to some scholars.
In two battles, the horse bandits reversed the situation that had been dominant. Although it did not completely turn the tide of the war, the longer it dragged on, the worse it was for the bandits, and it was also not good for his side.
Jinan Mansion and Tai'an City approved this operation under great pressure, and Tian Zi knew it in his heart. At a time when the whole country is preparing for war, it is really a move to ignore the overall situation and ignore the overall righteousness of the internal purge - and it is for personal reasons that the purge is actually a horse bandit, which is even more unacceptable to some people.
The horse bandit is the confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince, and has participated in many wars against the Yan State, which has played a role, and the combat power should not be underestimated.
Shandong Dao can't stand such a toss, and some people in Shandong Dao resolutely don't allow such a toss, as for Jindu, they don't want this kind of thing to happen, even more.
From the current point of view, the crown prince is actually not at a disadvantage, and he was assigned to Hubei Province to command the war with the Song people, which shows that his position in the heart of Emperor Jin is still unshakable. In contrast, the King of Qi has no real power in Jin, which is very thought-provoking.
Therefore, Tian Zi knew that he could not delay it at this time, and if something went wrong if it dragged on, Li Tu, Wei Liao and others would not excuse him.
Made, it's not your wife who is being arrested
Tian Zi sometimes thinks of those officials, and he scolds like this in his heart.
After that, it seemed that the officers and soldiers who had no choice started a brutal attack, but this kind of rampage, like a big man who was turned away by the girl, burned himself, had no shortage of enthusiasm and strength, but he couldn't get in.
At the end of February, Bawanghua personally went out on this day to greet a friend who "came from afar".
"Mixed Yuan Jinding"
"Overlord Flower"
"Long Looking"
"Long Looking, Long Looking"
"Please."
"Thank you!"
Regarding the Mixed Yuan Jinding Feng Yukui to vote, most of the people in the West Wind Collar are probably in favor and against each part, and their attitude is clear.
"These guys aren't dead"
"Actually came to us, isn't this a disaster!"
"A bunch of hurtful things, it's going to be finished and it will harm us"
"They should all be burned to death!"
"Hey the dogs! Feed the dog! ”
Such a voice is quite strong, based on the previous festival of the two forces, it is not good for the overlord flower to directly suppress it, but fortunately, there is another voice that opposes it on its own.
"People in the rivers and lakes, when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, even if there was a festival before, but everyone is doing things under the benefactor, there is no reason not to help."
"Even if they don't come, the officers and soldiers won't beat us?"
"I said before that they had all the beheadings, isn't that true! Officers and soldiers are also nonsense"
"He's here to prove that he's alive, but it can boost morale"
"I didn't kill at the beginning, and I can't do it at this time, we can't let people say that we were forced by the government to kill our comrades."
The two voices quarreled all day long, and the overlord Huale entertained themselves and prepared for the war with peace of mind. As for Feng Yukui, as long as they make a mess in the cottage and break the rules of the cottage, they will be entertained with delicious food and drink. There is no arrangement that is too polite, if Feng Yukui and these people really don't know each other and make any moths, she Overlord Flower is not afraid to throw them down the mountain or kill them directly.
The guards are all masters, so there will be no problems.
However, the pregnant woman's side, whether she wins or loses, will be tricky and difficult to deal with at that time.
I knew that I wouldn't have moved her, because of this woman, many people died in the cottage, and she couldn't bear it.
Such thoughts occasionally flashed through her mind, but then she suppressed them again.
After all, it is a character of the heroic poetry of the outside world, and it is impossible to be so sentimental.
At this time, she had just finished her patrol and was walking on the dirt road, and this thought came to her heart, and she wanted to shake her head and throw this idea out, but as soon as she turned her head, she stopped.
Actually, it's good to miss it.
Like some nights, she slept in a narrow bed, thinking about her uncles and elders.
Father is a big hero. It was an obsession that had been planted at a very young age. Huang Yinglin is a big man praised by everyone in Shandong Province and Hebei Province, and is a green forest hero who dominates the two provinces and eight counties.
She grew up watching her father fight people as a child. 's mother is everyone's best girl, and she betrayed the family and drifted with her father. When she was very young, her father competed with others, and she was held by her mother and stood aside. It's a little bigger, so I'll just stand and watch. Later, when her mother died of illness, she moved a small stool to watch by herself. Later, her father was killed by officers and soldiers, and she took over her father's banner and guarded the cottage.
There are no tears in this story, and there are no thought-provoking feelings, it's just that when a girl grows up, she inherits her father's inheritance, helps her father keep the foundation, and allows the people her father cared about before his death to live.
When my father was alive, my friends were all over the world, and after my father died, many uncles came to the door, taking care of the funeral, discussing the way back, dividing up the family property, and everyone had it, and she also grew up rapidly during that time, from a woman who was not familiar with the rivers and lakes, to the overlord flower that everyone feared in the shortest possible time.
Some of the uncles were still standing behind her, and some of them had gone underground and were buried under the stockade. Some have become other people's people, and some are now in the government.
It is not good for a woman who is already twenty-eight to be called a woman, because in fact she has never been married, and it is too tender to call a girl according to her age.
She's almost thirty.
When her father was alive, he told her that people should live for themselves and for the people they care about, and when necessary, some people who don't like it are also worth paying, but in the final analysis, it is for the belief in the heart.
Huang Yinglin is her father, a person who is willing to stick a knife in the ribs for his brothers and friends, so after his death, many old brothers have to leave and divide the family property, and more old brothers are on his daughter's side and help him keep the village.
This is probably the so-called good people have good rewards.
The twenty-eight-year-old girl sat on a tree branch, looking into the distance, thinking about the words that inspired countless people who still yearn for light in the darkness, and was a little dazed.
However, some people are not good people, they are around, I see their smiling faces and unhappy every day, and I think their joys and sorrows seem to be very good, even if they hide in the corner and listen to them quarrel, and then one day, these people are gone.
To be gone is to be dead, to be seen again. Their flesh and blood are joined together with this mountain, with them, but not together.
The grain in the cottage, plus the storage in previous years - she listened to Ren Zhongxing's words, and hid a small part of the grain underground every year - it is still no problem for a month or two, as long as the Jindu side reacts, and her side has been holding on for a long time, it should be no problem
It's just that on the side of Jindu, you can't fully count on it.
Besides, this time the government has invested so much, and its determination can be seen, although the two days of lifeless attacks, although they have been defeated again and again, they have not achieved an inch, but they are also consuming their morale, energy, and most importantly, manpower.
Without replenishment, they are rootless water that will dry up sooner or later.
There seemed to be another fight on the side of the first leader of the Dongshan section, and the woman jumped from the big tree with one jump, and then saw five or six people with blood on their bodies hurrying over from the side of Erdaoling with a wounded man.
"What's wrong with him?"
Seeing that it was a woman who came over to care and inquire, the six people stopped, and then said: "My hand is broken, I was seriously injured before, I may not be able to do it, his wife has just given birth."
"It's not that he escaped from the battle, it's just that he killed four dog officers and soldiers, and he can't even know if it's a son or a daughter before he dies."
"In that case, what are you delaying!"
Overlord Flower turned sideways and made way for these people.
The men thanked them and hurried away. Overlord Hua shook his head, and said in his heart, Didn't I say that if there is a situation at home, don't go into battle, such a loyal man, he can't die like this, if he is not dead when he comes back, he will be promoted to a personal guard.
Thinking like this, he didn't stop under his feet, and walked quickly towards the tethered war horse, and then the fast horse rushed towards the side of the Dongshan section of the first leader.
The seven people who passed by the overlord flower were Xie Shence, and several people took advantage of the opportunity of the officers and soldiers to fight with the horse bandits, passed under the cliff, were not discovered, and successfully broke through the first and second ridges, and finally came to the west wind to lead the cottage.
"The woman is not bad"
"Wrapped in a scarf, you can't see your face"
"Phew! Such a horse bandit is either a good friend of a certain leader, or the daughter of a certain giant, otherwise dare to wander around here alone? ”
"It's all nonsense, why don't you say it's Overlord Flower herself!"
"Heh, Childe ignore him, this guy is talking faintly again"
*******
Hebei Road has fallen into great chaos, Shandong Road is like a mess, Huaiyang Road, which has always been different from the scenery and people in the north, at this time there is not much blur and haze in the smoke and rain of the buildings.
Mist drifted from the surface of the lake, but when you smell it closely, you can smell the burnt smell of fireworks.
Some warships have disintegrated and sunk into the water, and some are still on the water, and there is a fire on them, and sooner or later they will also sink. The broken planks showed obvious burn marks, and corpses and wooden blocks fluttered on the surface of the lake. In winter, waterfowl stand on the carcass and peck at it, and as the carcass sinks and the lake water beats, it flutters up from time to time, and then falls again.
At this time, the picture of the water war that has ended.
And on the land route not far away, the skirmishes continued, a group of Song troops chased a group of Huai troops, and the Huai army turned around and ran away from time to time.
"General, I'm afraid I can't chase it, beware of fraud"
"The Jin army is no longer the Jin army of the past, it is not the opponent of the general on the water, and they can't do it if they go ashore!"
"General, we're far enough"
"What are you afraid of, you see they are coming up again! Kill me! Kill them all! ”
"General, General"
The Jin army's counter-killing was like the previous few times, Mei Neng played a half-role, and after losing his armor for a while, he ran away again, and the generals of the Song army laughed and patted the head of his colleague's nephew, and at the same time, he also had a good impression of this kid.
Although the previous words were a bit unpleasant, the good intentions are good, and it is a material that can be made
Then the Song soldier who had just slapped his head screamed and fell backwards with his head tilted.
He was startled, then tingled in his chest, and seemed to see snow-white feathers on his chest, and then collapsed. After this fall, he seemed to think of a terrible situation.
I really fell for it.
At the end of the battle, a burly man stuck a large knife that matched his size into the ground, sat down with his buttocks, and gasped violently.
The man is actually very young, in his twenties, but he looks fat but has strong muscles and a full beard that makes people think that he is older.
"General, report over there, the sailors have been defeated again, losing three warships"
"I guessed, if it weren't for the defeat of the sailor, these dogs, mothers, and raisers who are not afraid of death would not dare to chase so far"
"The third prince is really like a god"
"Humph!"
"Your subordinates are retiring."
This fat man is Wang Kui, this time the Southern Song Dynasty Xingbing, the Huai army because of the previous battle, the army was unstable, there was no preparation for a while, and the defeat was defeated, at this time the sailor retreated to the port, he was ordered to respond, but the sailor did not see it, but ushered in the Song army of thousands of people.
He led 500 men to retreat while fighting, leading the Song army to chase for 40 miles, and finally ambushed all the troops, almost annihilating the Song army of 1,000 people.
This is a rare big victory, and although it does not play a very obvious role in the battle situation of the entire Huaiyang Road, it undoubtedly has an irreplaceable encouraging effect on the morale of the army. If it is written as a good news and sent to the capital of Jin, and it is publicized, this small victory will not be underestimated as an encouragement to the entire Great Jin.
At that time, Emperor Jin Longyan will be happy, and the people of the world will celebrate, and he will be the king
The only pity is that this small victory doesn't seem to have a lot to do with him.
Because this ambush was strongly requested by his younger brother Wang Zhong, he scoffed at it before.
Wang Kui spat bloody spittle—then stood up and glanced in the direction of Langya Mountain.
The third uncle is eccentric, this is something that everyone knows, he is the eldest son of the Wang family, and he has not been able to get the third uncle's dedication, which is really a very angry thing.
(PS: Tomorrow New Year's Day, happy everyone, 6000 tonight, which is considered to make up for the previous one.) )
