Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 78 Blocking the Storm (8)

Surunu is a noble man in the southern tribe of the Zahu Desert.

Mo Nan's thirty surname is Tatar, and life has not been easy these years. Several tribes in the north of the desert are strong, and they are constantly oppressing the scattered sand in the south of the desert. I originally hoped that after the collapse of the Khitans, who had been pressing on their heads, they would be able to enter the Liao people's Xijing Road and loot them fiercely. All the ministries in Monan sent envoys back and forth to meet the alliance for joint action.

Who would have thought that there was a more ferocious Jurchen!

Some of the 30 Tatar tribes of Monan participated in the resistance organized by the Liao people in Xijing Dao, and as a result, they were beaten by the Jurchen army. It is also a natural thing to switch to such a strong new Jurchen.

But compared to the Khitan, which was almost fed, the Jurchen Western Route Army was like a hungry wolf!

In the past two years, the southern Mo tribe, cattle and sheep, births, Ding Zhuang, grain and grass, have been repeatedly looted by the Jurchen West Road army again and again. This time, Zong Han forcibly pushed the troops to the south in winter, and the southern tribe of Mo was almost swept away, and the teams transporting livestock and grain were endless. On this winter day, I don't know how many old and weak people of the southern desert tribe starved to death.

In order for the southern tribe to continue to survive and survive the spring famine. This time, the Jurchen conquest of the auxiliary army and the light cavalry, the Ding Zhuang of the southern tribe of the desert almost came out of the crowd, and their losses had to be made up from the Southern Dynasty!

can wait for thirty Tatars to gather four or five thousand men and horses to join the army gathered by Zong Han in Datong Mansion in Xijing. I found that these light horses in my house were not regarded as the Jurchen up and down at all.

All the way south, doing the hardest work, grain and military supplies can only see what can be grabbed. Jurchen military horses from top to bottom. Drive them like dogs. But everything that has oil and water. It's not their turn to be a bastard.

Until the arrival of the silver magic.

The former Jurchen heavyweight. When he came to lead their mixed army and horses, he looked depressed, emaciated and haggard. Even the pro-guard Jurchen Mouke did not bring a single one. Rumor has it that silversmithing was disparaged.

In such a situation, at the beginning, the miscellaneous beards dared to despise such Jurchen nobles as silversmiths.

However, when the silver technique can be used to make a move, the miscellaneous beards will know how powerful this former Jurchen general is! Grain, grass and ordnance were immediately asked for by him, and they were continuously replenished into the army. Those blunt knives and arrows were replaced with long knives and iron arrowheads, and there were still some rations every day. And silversmith has always been a leader, whether it is a patrol sentry. Or open the walled fort to collect grain, you can see his figure, often still rushing to the front.

In addition to these kindnesses, the silver art can be powerful and unrelenting. In the beginning, it was almost every day that the military was marched. But he didn't listen to orders, he didn't move forward, he looted and delayed military planes in private, and every day in front of his tent, he had to pick up more than a dozen heads! And I don't know where to go, a few more Jurchen Mouke came to join his command. Even if they wanted to, they didn't dare to mutiny. And even if it's the reverse of silver. The Jurchen army is on the side, where can they go?

The most important thing is. Silversmith also dares to act decisively, bringing them constant victories!

Breaking away from the Jurchen brigade, they acted resolutely, and entered from the direction of the Lan army, burning and looting all the way, and the Southern Dynasty army and horses were scattered, and the people of the Southern Dynasty slaughtered and drove them away like dogs and sheep. As long as you follow along, which Zahu tribe is not full of money, and how many children of the Southern Dynasty are constantly transferring money and grain to Ningyuan Village? And Yinshu Ke also patted their chests and vouched for them, as long as they obeyed the order, all these looted things were theirs, and no one could take them away!

And the war that went all the way also made these miscellaneous hus' contempt for the Southern Dynasty reach its peak for a while. How many dangerous military fortresses were abandoned without resistance. How many people in the Southern Dynasty will only cry and flee in front of them. And the people who guard the military horses along the way and shoot them at them are extremely rare!

In the hearts of these miscellaneous hus, killing and looting is accompanied by deep jealousy. Why can you, the weak Southern Dynasties, occupy such a rich place, have so much wealth, and live so rich and peaceful? These goods, these raw mouths, all the qiē of this Southern Dynasty, should belong to us! Since you can't hold it, then you should give it up, and we will follow the Jurchens all the way to the south, even if there are Jurchen nobles above our heads, but you southerners, you will be driven by us for generations!

Such arrogance, such jealousy, doubled the bloody desires of these miscellaneous beards. It turned out that there were some half-heartedness in the Jurchen army, and they only wanted to reap the benefits and didn't want to fight a tough battle, but as they went south, they became weaker and weaker. If it is normal for them to encounter the resistance of the people of the Southern Dynasties, there should be no doubt that they will continue to drive them up, even if they pay a few lives, they must beat the will of the people of the Southern Dynasties to resist, so that they will never dare to resist again, only before the banner of the grassland wolves, trembling and waiting to be killed!

On the way south, it was not without the spontaneous resistance of the people of the Southern Dynasty, but the grassland and miscellaneous hus frantically poured up, until all these people who dared to resist were slaughtered and their villages were burned to ashes!

But now, facing the military array standing like a wall in front of him, facing hundreds of red helmets dancing in the wind, facing the crimson military flag, and facing the blades raised like a forest. Descend from Surunu, but no one dares to ride a horse and rush forward!

It's the strong army of the Southern Dynasties!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Surunu is a sturdy grassland man who is less than thirty, the second son of the patriarch of the clan, and a famous hero in Monan. He was brave and violent, and at the age of thirteen he participated in the war between the steppe tribes.

This time, following the Jurchen army to the south, after Yinshu could be in charge of this Zahu coalition army, Surunu also got Yinshu to be valued. Along the way, he was sent to lead the vanguard army and horses, let him kill and plunder, and even raised his tribe to become the largest department in Monan in the future, and ruled the Monan Zahu for the Jurchens.

Surunu also repaid Yinshuke's attention with all his loyalty and bravery, and rushed all the way to the front. Take Ning Yuanzhai. Take the Flying Kite Castle. The Capture of the Flood Valley Village all led the people to follow the silver art closely. Slaughtered all the way. burned all the way and rushed straight to the front of Loufu County!

Today, he led a brigade to loot and slaughter in a village on the way, and was a little behind. When he led the vanguard brigade to arrive, he found that the two or three hundred rangers at the front had already been killed, and hundreds of empty horses were galloping on the battlefield, and the ground was full of crooked and twisted corpses.

Put it on weekdays. Surunu was already furious and rushed forward first.

But now from him onwards, every pioneer beard is in a cold sweat. Even the crotch mount became docile and cowered.

In front of Honggu Village, Xu Lunu and this strong army of the Southern Dynasties have met! Thousands of Zahu Mountain ambushed up and down the mountain, ready to eat the military horses of this lone army that had traveled hundreds of miles to help. As a result, after a battle, from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the miscellaneous beards suffered heavy casualties, whether it was a mountain foot battle or a cavalry battle in the river valley road, the miscellaneous beards were defeated and lost, and they had no ability to resist!

This strong army of the Southern Dynasties, regardless of foot and horse. It is as stable as a mountain and sharp as it is unmatched. The rain of arrows that came from all over the world. The ferocity of the horse's impact, in less than half an hour, the casualties of the miscellaneous beards have already been thousands, and the lives of the opponents in exchange for not knowing whether they are more than twenty!

At that time, Surunu was also among the light cavalry brigades that attacked them in the river valley, and that short period of time brought Surunu the greatest fear that Surunu had ever had. The warriors around him fell off their horses one after another, and the screams were grounded, and the Southern Dynasty armor soldiers who crashed into their formation on the prancing horse seemed to be like a demon emerging from hell at that moment, and the opening of the iron mask was spewing poisonous smoke and flames, and the blades waved seemed to be several zhang long and weighed hundreds of catties. And the knights of the miscellaneous beard were crushed into powder in front of these Yaksha-like Vajra-like armorers!

Relying on the Jurchen Mouke's suppression, the miscellaneous beards were not completely annihilated. And this Southern Dynasty military horse calmly walked away on the horse after harvesting hundreds of lives and leaving behind the wounded who were struggling for their lives. For the next night, even though the beards were tired and fell asleep, in their dreams, they kept flashing the hellish scene!

In the end, Yinshu can choose to continue to go south, through Yifang Lou to attack Taiyuan Mansion, it is not that there is no main force under the command of Zahu has lost courage, from Honggu Village to the west to face the Shenwu Changsheng army in the cave valley village The reason is!

The farther away from Honggu Village, the farther south you go, the deeper your fear dissipated slightly. Yinshu credible swore to them that the Southern Dynasty could fight a strong army, and that was it. As long as they copy their back road, this strong army of the Southern Dynasties has no food and grass, no way to retreat, and there are countless Jurchen armies coming to help, no matter how strong they are, there is only one way to destroy. And the scene of the soldiers and civilians of the Southern Dynasties still looking at the wind and scattering as if they continued to go south seemed to prove that what Yinshu could say was true.

But why did you bump into them here again?

Surunu looked at the fluttering red triangular white flame fang-side banner, and swallowed his saliva, but he still felt that his mouth was extremely dry. Even though he knew that the eyes of his subordinates were all on him, waiting for him to make a decision, Surunu still couldn't say a word for a long time.

As a man who grew up on horseback, how could Surunu not know that the horsepower of the Southern Dynasty military horses that suddenly appeared in front of him was almost exhausted?

Although their array is still like a mountain, it seems as if it can never be destroyed. But those war horses couldn't help trembling slightly, white foam continued to flow from their mouths and noses, and the horses' bellies were so deflated that the belly bands were loose. Behind their formation, there were no horse stakes in sight, which showed that this strong army of the Southern Dynasties had even exhausted its horses.

Several war horses have been ridden to such a point, what about the knights who fight in armor on the horses? Maybe with a slight bump, their array will collapse, and they no longer have the strength to fight!

Behind these arrays of Southern Dynasty warriors, there were thousands of Southern Dynasty people who slowly retreated eastward, all of which were good raw materials, men could be used to herd horses and sheep, there were fields to cultivate grain for the beards, women could milk sheep and horses, they could sew and wash, and they could be allowed to ravage. There are also the soft goods they carry, these thousands of people looted them, so that a small tribe can live comfortably for a few years.

Not to mention that county town flanked by these knights. It seemed to be bigger than the Yifang County they passed through. At this moment, the gate of the county town is closed, and it is obvious that the people in the city do not even have the courage to fight. As long as you defeat this Southern Dynasty military horse in front of you, you can easily break through this county seat, and before Yinshuke and Jurchen Mouke have arrived, Surunu can kill and loot in this county town happily!

Just dare to rush forward!

Surunu's palms were covered with cold sweat. The fists clenched and opened. The sporadic Zahu kept joining his ranks. Seeing the prospect, they also stopped moving. They all waited for Surunu's orders.

Surunu couldn't help but look back, trying to find the courage in his subordinates who could inspire him to order him to rush forward. However, in the eyes of these bearded knights, they only saw cowering and hesitation, and many people lowered their heads in the face of his gaze.

Although the battle in front of Honggu Village was short, it was done suddenly with superior forces, and in the end it was beaten with heavy casualties. This kind of fear, after encountering this strong army of the Southern Dynasties again, was all awakened again!

For a long time. Surunu finally lowered his head, waved his hand and ordered: "Retreat first!" Wait for the Jurchen army to arrive! ”

Under the order, Surunu only felt that so many sons under his command seemed to be relieved from the bottom of his heart!

Surunu gritted his teeth.

"This battle is a war between the Jurchen nobles and the people of the Southern Dynasties, so let's just follow and plunder. Why fight for so many lives? We have made enough contributions to the Jurchen nobles! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the west, there were more and more gatherings, and when the confrontation came, the number of six or seven hundred horsemen had already gathered. These miscellaneous knights all changed into the standard blades of the Great Song Dynasty, and the sacks were full of arrows from the Song army. Many of them also put on the armor of the Song army. Outside, the flowers were wrapped in looted silk clothes.

On weekdays, how can such a miscellaneous person be in the eyes of a tiger?

This command is elite. With just one impact, you can beat these miscellaneous hues to a crumble, let alone cut off one or two hundred heads, and snatch a hundred and ten war horses back!

But now, Du Ruhu has no chance of being able to defeat them.

It's so tired, it's so exhausting. There are no more than four or five thousand people in Zahu, and they can take turns as the striker and take turns to break through to the south. Du Ruhu, the commander of the cavalry, gritted his teeth and rushed back and forth, these days, he has not eaten a good meal or slept once!

Every joint in his body seems to be moaning. The sweat seemed to be running dry. His head was buzzing, and his eyelids seemed to be pressed against Tarzan, and he would close at any time and never open them again. There was already a double image in front of him, and the sound of his heartbeat was so dense that it seemed to be beating a drum, buzzing and roaring in his ears.

Beside him, Brother Paoze, there was also a heavy breathing sound. I think these faithful brothers are just like my own!

Du Ruhu didn't know how he got his strength, and he was still holding the horse lance steadily. The corner of his eye swept over, and in the blur, he could see the left and right sides of his body, and those spears and horse lances stretched out like a forest were also stretched out steadily!

At this moment, Du Ruhu only felt that his eyes were a little hot.

Straight lady thief, Tartar blood is splashed in the eyes?

Yan Wang He is fortunate to run such a strong army. How fortunate I am to be in such a strong army!

Tartars, rush up, it's nothing more than death! But these brothers, even if they die in battle, they will form an army under Jiuquan and kill all your ancestors!

I don't know how long this wait lasted. The horsemen of the Zahu were still at the distance of a powerful assault from the cavalry. Hesitating, hesitating, cringinge. Before such a tired military formation, there was no move forward. At last, a poignant trumpet sounded, and the knights turned around and slowly retreated to the west!

On the top of the county seat of Loufu, Li Yizhong held on to the battlements, and together with the defenders and civilians in the city, he stared blankly at what was happening in front of him. Looking at this mountain-like Great Song army formation, watching those miscellaneous knights retreat timidly.

Cheers erupted suddenly, resounding through the city!

Li Yizhong slapped the battlements vigorously and ordered loudly: "What are you waiting for? Move the bricks and stones of the city gate, and let the Shenwu Changsheng army enter to rest! Straight mother thief, we also have good men in the Song Dynasty! ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Du Ruhu and hundreds of sons insisted until those miscellaneous knights retreated, and insisted until the fleeing people were out of sight for a long time, and then slowly walked towards the county town of Loufu, which opened the city gate.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they were like tigers, and even people and horses fell down. The faithful mount has exhausted the last of its strength, and once it falls, it is out of breath.

Li Yizhong, who was waiting respectfully at the door, hurried to help Du Ruhu. Unexpectedly, they all jumped up like a tiger and glared viciously at the crowd that surged up.

"Good life buried my mount! It's a hundred times stronger than any other bird! ”

After this sentence was explained, it was like a tiger closing its eyes and falling backwards, snoring loudly before it hit the ground.

The people were carefully lifted up like tigers, and more people greeted the same exhausted warriors, who also dismounted and collapsed at the city gate. And the defenders and civilians all took the most careful action to help them up. They were sent to the best places in the city to rest.

Li Yizhong looked at these armor soldiers who could no longer walk, looked at the war horses that fell at the city gate, and a war horse was so weak that its hooves were on the ground, and he still tried his best to raise his head, trying to watch his master say goodbye.

It's exactly what the general said. How many people in the Song Dynasty are not as good as these war horses! (To be continued......)
