A rat is also good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few people found a corner where no one else would find it, skinned the rat first, and then put it on the fire grill to grill it, and when it was almost cooked, a burst of fragrance wafted out.

The head of the team counted the number of people: "There are five of us, and I will divide the rats in a while, and I will ensure fairness." ”

The magistrate in the back jumped up: "Why are there five?" It's obviously six people, isn't it that you don't plan to give it to me? ”

The team leader sneered: "My lord, this rat is eaten by us rough people, will you damage your identity if you eat it?" ”

"Your mother's identity! Lao Tzu can't eat anything but human flesh now, why don't you eat it? ”

Hearing that the magistrate of the county, who had read the book of sages, also burst out of foul language, the head of the squad and the others couldn't help laughing, and Guan Huaishan on the side said: "The rat was caught by the magistrate, I think the largest piece should be kept for him." ”

The magistrate was very grateful that there were still people who spoke for himself at this time, and he was even more kind to Guan Huaishan in his heart, and squatted down and patted Guan Huaishan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, old man, if this master can survive this time, he will enjoy wealth with you in the future." It's hard to find an honest person like you, and it just so happens that if I am promoted and there is a lack of housekeepers, you can just come and be a housekeeper for me. ”

Guan Huaishan shook his head busily: "I can't do this well, I will farm in this life, if I can live, I will be honest with my two acres of land in the future." ”

The magistrate patted his chest: "I'll get you 200 acres and wrap it on me." ”

The team leader was very disdainful: "Let's pull it, let's get out alive." ”

Guan Huaishan suddenly remembered something, and took the initiative to lean towards the side of the magistrate: "Master, let me ask you if something is okay?" ”

Zhixian nodded: "Ask." ”

"That's what it is, if someone opens up a few acres of wasteland and drives it on the mountain. When his wasteland is opened, Nashan is bought, and to whom should this land belong? ”

The magistrate had already forgotten the sesame lawsuit at the beginning, and after listening to Guan Huaishan ask him, he said without thinking about it: "It depends on when it was opened, if it is the person who bought the mountain before the emperor issued the policy of Hounongsang." ”

Guan Huaishan came to him a little more: "It's a matter close to the county, a relative of my family, it was four years ago." ”

Zhixian immediately said: "Of course, it belongs to the people who opened up the wasteland, and the emperor made it clear in the holy decree." ”

Guan Huaishan's eyes immediately became a little strange, but Zhixian's attention at this time was all focused on the rat's body, and he didn't notice it at all.

"Master, you seem to be wrong, right? My relative was found to have lost the case. ”

The magistrate was a little impatient: "It's normal to lose the lawsuit, let me tell you, it must be the person who bought the mountain who did something." ”

"Is there a way to do it now?"

Zhixian said: "After four years, it is indeed difficult to turn over the case, but it is not without opportunities. I'll give you an idea. ”

"Hey, sir, you say."

"It's not okay for you to sue this case directly, because according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, if the local official tries the case, he will inevitably lose the lawsuit. Is the original verdict still there? Find out the document, and also, when did your relative find the witness when he opened the wasteland, and then find out when the person bought the mountain, you go to the prefect, or go directly to the Dali Temple in the capital to hand the pleadings to Master Bao, and ask someone to write a complaint for you, and it will be completed. ”

Guan Huaishan hesitated a little: "This, with our identity, it doesn't seem appropriate to go to Dali Temple to complain, right?" ”

The magistrate glanced at him with disdain: "So you people, what is Dali Temple for?" It is to find out whether the officials below have violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally they can't go to Dali Temple to sue those few acres of land, and they go directly to sue the officials who tried the case. Mr. Bao investigated the official, and the case was naturally overturned. ”

Guan Huaishan nodded after hearing this: "Oh, thank you for your advice." ”

Zhixian finally found an opportunity to play again, when he really said it in detail, and when he wanted to say something more, the team leader suddenly shouted: "Cooked, cooked!" ”

The magistrate hurriedly jumped up, afraid that these people would lose his share.

War can always change a person unconsciously, Guan Huaishan only participated in a few battles, and only killed a Liao person yesterday, but even so, under his still somewhat humble face, that heart began to be no longer cowardly.

He had already made a decision, if the magistrate really gave him a few hundred acres of land after the war, even if it was dozens of acres of land, the matter would be forgotten. If not, you must go to Dali Temple to complain.

"The Liao people are here!"

There was a shout from the wall, and the head of the squad was tasting the taste of the hind legs, and he was angry and stuffed all the remaining meat into his mouth: "Up." ”

The Liao people are very fierce, they are fierce every time, and they are determined to win every time, but until now the Song army in the camp is still insisting. The crossbow arrows on the wall no longer had the dense and terrifying momentum at the beginning, and after a while, the Liao people began to climb the wall.

The Song army above smashed these enemies who wanted to climb up with rolling stones and sassal wood, but the cavalry of the Liao cavalry caused great casualties to the Song army.

After a cup of tea, the enemy finally came up, and the little soldier waved the scimitar captured from the Liao man in his hand and slashed at the Liao man who rushed up.

Bai Yutang also came to this wall, and judging from the Liao people's offensive this time, this wall will be their main direction of attack. He led more than a hundred very strong Song troops, brandishing bloody swords, and rushed to the city walls again and again to block those enemies who wanted to rush up.

But there are too many people in Liao, and they have just been killed here, but they have come up there again. Then go and kill people, and then organize everyone to charge, block, and kill.

Half an hour later, the enemy's attack still had no intention of stopping, and the bow and crossbow support of the cities on both sides seemed to have no way to stop the Liao people from rushing over in waves.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people following behind him, Bai Yutang felt that the situation was very bad.

"You, go and ask General Xu for help, and ask him to send some more people over!"

A soldier beside him withdrew from the battlefield, and Bai Yutang continued to fight.

He already felt that he was a little tired, but the enemy in front of him seemed to know tiredness and death, and he still stubbornly and tenaciously climbed over the wall, jumped down, and slashed with his sword.

Bai Yutang felt like he was going crazy, this was not a battlefield at all, but purgatory. On top of this wall are not living people, but lifeless, unconscious corpses, and only corpses can continue this kind of battle.

Another wave of enemies rushed up, and one soldier fell without waiting for the enemy to get close, and he himself fell. He felt helpless, he felt hopeless, he felt that there was no end in sight, so he gave up. Lie on the ground and let the enemy slash and kill.

There is no need to blame him for anything, in such a situation, even Bai Wuye looked up to the sky and shouted: "Support, who will support me......"

The squad leader was also struggling to support not far away, and after hearing Bai Yutang's shout, the squad leader waved the Pu knife in his hand: "Kill it!" Kill it! ”

He led a dozen people like a mad tiger to kill him, and merged with Bai Yutang's team, and the Song army in the distance was completely unable to resist the offensive of the Liao.

Bai Yutang is indeed unable to kill, others see that he is still brave, but he can feel it himself, and the speed of his sword is not even half as before.

He knew that he couldn't fall, so he bit through a piece of flesh on his lips with a fierce force, letting the pain stimulate the last potential in his body, and then yelled: "Kill! ”

The big knife in his hand once again became powerful and heavy, and those who hit it died, and those who touched it were injured. More than forty soldiers followed behind Bai Yutang, like an irresistible arrow towards those Liao people.

The Liao people on the city wall are also very clever, seeing that this Song army is already at the end of the strong crossbow, while resisting and lining up the formation into a pocket, Bai Yutang, who has lost his mind a little, did not notice this, and continued to kill the Liao people bravely.

When these dozens of Song troops were all surrounded by Liao soldiers, the Liao general who commanded the siege ordered a counterattack: "Kill!" Kill all these Song pigs! ”

Several sides were attacked by the Liao people at the same time, which caused the casualties of the Song army to increase dramatically in an instant. Bai Yutang's whole body trembled violently, and even the hand holding the knife was beating unconsciously. Only now did he see the tricks of the Liao people, and he shouted with all his strength: "Go back......"

It's not easy to kill, and it's even more difficult to go back. And the shouting around was very loud, and few soldiers heard Bai Yutang's shouting.

The squad leader saw a Liao soldier rushing towards him, he picked up the round knife and slashed down, disemboweling the Liao soldier stiffly, and then he was hugged by an enemy soldier next to him.

The head of the squad was not panicked, and being able to sit on the head of the class meant that he had practiced a few times, sneering in his heart, shaking his hand and throwing the knife, wanting to drag the guy who hugged him to a kill.

Unexpectedly, the Liao country was very strong, and the team leader pulled it twice without pulling the big knife out.

In such a little time without twitching, the three Liao people jumped up from the ground, side, and front, and inserted three spears into the body of the squad leader at the same time.

The squad leader let out a huge roar, and the short-term pain made him burst out with strength that was incomparable to ordinary times, and finally pulled out the knife that was held by the Liao people, and hacked the guy to death with one sword. As the spears were drawn, the team leader felt that the power he had burst out in an instant disappeared in an instant, and his whole body fell straight to the ground.

Lao Jiu followed behind and yelled: "Team leader! ”

Several Song soldiers roared and swarmed up, and immediately chopped the three enemies into pulp.

The creep had already been wounded in several places, and one of his arms had been cut off, hanging on his body and shaking. He held the scimitar with his other arm, and staggered towards a Liao man: "Go and die!" ”

The scimitar in his hand stabbed his enemy in the chest, and the soldier pressed his body forward, against the hard stone of the wall.

The Liao people's eyes were looking at the little soldier, and the little soldier's face showed a sinister smile, and his wrist turned his handle vigorously, so that the blade turned around in the man's chest.

Blood kept pouring out of the mouths of the Liao people, and the Liao people's hands dropped their weapons, helplessly trying to catch something in the air. The soldier's arm hanging on his shoulder was grabbed by him, and he pulled it hard, tearing it off alive.

The creep fell to the ground, and the whole person rolled over the wall, and his mouth let out a painful wail.

Guan Huaishan wanted to help him, but there were a few Liao people in front of Guan Huaishan, and he couldn't get by. He could only watch this seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, struggling in pain, and could only watch a Liao man stab into the body of the little soldier with a spear.

The soldier felt that a sharp weapon had been pierced in his vest, and he knew that he was finished, and at that moment he held back the pain, he turned around sharply, threw the weapon in his hand backwards, and the knife was plunged into the throat of the enemy.

The soldier struggled to his feet, looked at the blood-red spear on his chest, and jumped off the wall. A Liao soldier who was about to climb up was pounced on by the small soldier. Just exposed half of his body, and fell silently from the city tower.

Guan Huaishan is also crazy, it's a strange thing that you are not crazy under this kind of change.

He didn't know where he got the courage, so he rushed into the formation of those Liao people like a madman with a gun, and killed two enemies with two shots.

A big foot next to him kicked him over and knocked him to the ground. He turned around and saw two Liao people staring at him with blood-red eyes, and the snow-bright spear head pierced at him with great speed.

Guan Huaishan's heart suddenly felt a sense of relief, he didn't make any dodging movements, the spear stabbed out and pierced an enemy's thigh. The man roared and fell to the ground.

A knife next to him immediately hacked the Liao people to death, and a spear was unstoppable, and it roared straight to Guan Huaishan's heart.

At the moment when his life was about to end, Guan Huaishan actually smiled, he smiled very kindly at the Liao people, this life is over like this, if there is a next life, I hope I can be a farmer in peace and stability, and never go to the battlefield again, the battlefield is not suitable for me.

At this time, Lao Jiuyi shook the iron chain around his waist, wrapped around the spear head that stabbed Guan Huaishan, and pulled it violently, and the spear head deviated by more than a foot. This distance of one foot allowed Guan Huaishan to cross the boundary between life and death.

The spear in his hand stabbed out without hesitation, piercing the chest of the Liao national.

Lao Jiu kicked Guan Huaishan: "Hurry up!" ”

Guan Huaishan didn't want to get up, really, he felt that if the Liao people killed themselves with one shot just now, they might not be so painful now. Just as he was lying on the ground panting, he suddenly heard the rumbling of the war drums of the Song army, and at the same time, Xu Huaide led two hundred soldiers to kill from the other city wall.

This sound of war drums aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers to continue to fight tenaciously, and the arrival of reinforcements also gave them the hope of victory, at least the hope of victory in this battle. Guan Huaishan got up from the ground with a grunt, and the soldiers of the Song army became brave and unusually brave one by one, and launched an attack on the Liao people without fear of life and death.

The enemy was finally beaten again. The corpses of both sides covered the entire wall, and the corpses were strewn all over the ground, and the blood flowed down the stairs like a trickling stream. The soldiers on the city wall, whether alive, dead or wounded, were lying on the ground one by one, lying on top of the corpses.

Xu Huaide shouted: "Get up!" Get up for me, throw the corpse down the tower, the Liao people are coming again! ”

No one moved, no one paid attention to him.

Bai Yutang, who was lying in the pile of dead people with the soldiers, whispered, "Let's rest for a while." ”

Xu Huaide finally closed his mouth and carried the body with his own people.

Yelu Hongji looked at the failure of another siege, and couldn't help but admire the fighting will of the defenders on the city wall. He knew that the current Song Army was indeed different before. In the previous battles, when the battle reached this level, the Song army had already surrendered the door, and then let the Liao people tie them up and take them to the north to be sold as slaves.

Surrender meant humiliation for the Song army, and shame was not something unacceptable.

The reason why the Song army could not accept surrender was that Renzong's military reform allowed them to get huge benefits. Their current military salaries are very high, and although they are not as enviable as the scholars, they are enough to support their families.

After retiring, there is also a wide way out, and the court's capture is no longer open to everyone and those so-called people in the rivers and lakes, and the leaders of the catcher and the county soldiers are all retired soldiers. Also, those merchants are now doing more and more business across the ocean, and they are also very fond of retired soldiers.

But once they surrender, although Renzong said that they would not kill those soldiers who escaped as before, they could not get a certificate of retirement, and they would lose the qualification to continue to serve as a soldier in the future, and without a certificate of retirement, they would lose some job opportunities.

Then it will be very difficult for your family.

In contrast, it would be better if they died in battle, the imperial court had a special school for their children to study, and there were also special workshops with welfare surnames to arrange their family work. That pension is enough for their parents to support themselves for a long time.

The Song people are like this, they can live for themselves, but they prefer to die for their relatives.

The tenacity of the Song army made all the Liao people dumbfounded, and Yelu Hongji knew that if he stayed here for one more day, his defeat would be close for another day. Turning his head to look at the Liao generals behind him who looked a little unkind, Yelu Hongji said very firmly: "Tonight, continue to attack." ”

How long will it take to take down this camp? None of the Liao generals knew. They no longer dared to pat their chests at Yelu Hongji as they had done before and promise that they would take down these Song troops, even though they seemed to be unable to hold out now.

Xu Huaide at the head of the city didn't know how long he could hold out, he leaned against Bai Yutang's side: "How is it, are you okay?" ”

Bai Yutang smiled bitterly: "It's okay now, but I don't know at night." It seems that the Liao people will come to fight again at night, can you get something to eat? It's also good to give the brothers some strength. ”

Xu Huaide spread his hands: "There is still a little grain in the warehouse, and it should be enough to eat for a few days if you save a little." ”

"And in a few days?"

"Let's talk about it then, maybe there will be no one in a few days."

Bai Yutang said, "I think you might as well take it out and let us eat it." ”

Xu Huaide shook his head: "That's not good, you know, as long as there is food in the warehouse, the soldiers can still hold on." If there is no one in the morning, it will be the Liao people here in the afternoon. ”

"I don't know! I don't want to know, you tell me, we've been holding on for two months, why haven't we seen any reinforcements? ”

Xu Huaide raised his head: "Because it's me who sticks here!" From the emperor to every general, they all know that I, Xu Huaide, will definitely be able to keep Xin'an. It's right that reinforcements don't come, let me tell you Yutang, this time we may have to see a big war of annihilation. ”

Bai Yutang didn't have the slightest excitement: "General Xu, do you think we will be annihilated by the Liao?" ”

Before Xu Huaide could speak, he suddenly saw the county magistrate running up with extremely fast steps: "General! Checkmate! The tunnels have been dug through! ”

Xu Huaide and Bai Yutang stood up excitedly at the same time: "What did you say?" ”

Zhixian's face was full of excitement: "Our tunnel has been dug through!" Really, the army over there has come from the tunnel, and they have brought food, a lot of food! ”

Xu Huaide didn't say anything to the magistrate, and strode towards the entrance of the tunnel.

It didn't take long for the general of the Song army stationed in the camp next to him to be the first to come out of the entrance, not caring about the dust on his head, and the first thing the general said after coming out was: "Is General Xu okay?" ”

Xu Huaide hurriedly gave an order, everyone in the camp should not cheer, and should continue to act as if nothing had happened before, and not let the people of Liao notice anything unusual.

This passage is really very important, it not only allows Xu Huaide to transfer the wounded soldiers to the camp next to rest, so that the soldiers from the camp over there can come over to participate in the battle here, but also allows him to get some material support.

The main thing is that this is a hope, even if this place really can't hold on, he can lead the team to retreat from the tunnel to another camp and continue to hold on. The Song army can continue to dig and penetrate all the tunnels from the ground, in that case, not to mention holding on for another month, even if it lasts for another year, there will be no problem.

Perhaps, Yelu Hongji will be able to crash and die in front of the military camp of Xin'an.

Bai Yutang now finally knows why Xu Huaide is valued by many generals of the Song Dynasty, there is only one reason, that is, he believes that a miracle will happen no matter what the situation, and even if the form is limited, he will not give up that miracle.

If it were me, I would have given up this method long ago if I hadn't dug it for a month. But Xu Huaide didn't, all, Song Jun and others came to a miracle.

When Yelu Hongji was preparing to launch an attack on the Song army, he had no idea that the tired army on the city wall had been injected with fresh blood, and the Song army, which was very strong in combat, was waiting for a night battle with the Liao State.

(To be continued)
