Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 75 Blocking the Storm (5)
A hissing sounded, and as soon as he rode the horse west of the river, he fell into the dust. The knight on the horse is the one who looks quite like Han Shizhong, he was dozing off little by little on the horse, and the mount suddenly fell to the ground, and he was as agile as a tiger, so he subconsciously picked up the stirrups and jumped away, rolled on the ground, and turned over and got up.
The Hexi walking horse, who was only six or seven years old, was already lying on his side on the side of the road, his mouth and nose were spraying mucus, and his belly was desperately recovering, and he could no longer struggle.
The war with the Jurchens has continued to this day, and the damage to the mounts of both armies is extremely great. In the winter, there was no way to fight in battle, and now the mounts on both sides have fought to the point of great vitality, and without a few months of general maintenance, they will not be able to recover.
The walking horse ridden by the tiger is not used for battle, but only for daily transportation. But it is also a good horse of Qingtang Real Estate bought by Xiao Yantong Guò Horse Market, which is added to the Shenwu Changsheng Army. The muscles and bones are strong, and the walking is fast and steady. Now running like this, no matter how strong he is, he can't support it, and finally he lies down on the side of the road, and his moist horse eyes just look at his master.
Seeing that the dull fur and skinny wordless robe exhausted the last bit of strength, Du Ruhu's eyes were hot, and he stepped forward to touch the mane of the mount, feeling the mount's breathing gradually weaken.
Behind him, dozens of warriors also stopped, turned over and dismounted, and quietly watched what was happening in front of him.
Like a tiger muttering a few prayers, he drew his saber and plunged it into the neck of his mount, so that the beloved horse who had accompanied him for many days would suffer a little less from the pain of dying.
The horse's blood splattered, and one of the heads sighed: "Another horse has fallen." We work hard, and so do our horses. Other Great Song military horses. What the hell are you doing with birds now? ”
In this discourse. There is a lot of resentment. Du Ruhu, a small army that went south to stabilize the situation, walked through Xianzhou in Jingle, and finally went straight to Lou Fu. Along the way, I saw people on the way, all desperately fleeing in the direction of Taiyuan Mansion. Along the way, either the gate of the fortress is closed, or you can't see a few people guarding the wall, and you don't know where the defenders have fled.
Xiao Yan sent troops to run Hedong. Time is short, after all. It is already the best effort to pull out two main field forces and rebuild and operate the defense system on the northeastern edge of the river. At present, from the cave valley village to the south, and even in Taiyuan Mansion, the local garrison forbidden army in Hedong that has not been trained is scattered and defended.
These military horses, let them take care of the roads, transport grain and grass, and they can barely do it. Really fighting a tough battle is not very useful. The Lan army has been broken, and the news that the Jurchen army is heading south like a wild stream has come. The so-called Folded Army on the side of the Lan Army all avoided without a fight. The flanks of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, which were regarded as the Great Wall by the Hedong Road, were exposed, and the situation was already extremely bad. Such news came. How can these scattered garrisoned military horses still have the courage to fight to the death?
The military horses of the tiger galloped south, often the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which could disperse the exiled soldiers and civilians in the blocked road, and run all over the mountains!
This panic and fear has completely spread from the Lan army to the east, and now in Taiyuan Mansion, I don't know what the scene is!
Du Ruhu, a department of hundreds of horsemen, has to fight with the Jurchen military horses that may continue to go south, fight for speed, eat and sleep in the saddle. Even if he saw this panicked and frightened scene, he didn't have the time to stop and calm the hearts of the people and the army, and gather and disperse. I can only continue to rush regardless of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The horse that he was accustomed to riding in Hexi was covered in dust and mud, and it was stained with the blood of the mount, and he took a long breath and walked to his own horse to prepare his horse.
The so-called reserve horse is actually a war horse that is transferred when going into battle. It was still the Liaodong horse that he got from Xiao Gan's army back then. Behind the saddle, he still carries a tiger-like armor bag, and although he has never ridden or walked, he is not easy to go.
Du Ruhu hesitated, drew his knife and cut off the leather silk tied to the armor, and abandoned the armor weighing dozens of catties. Turned over and got on the horse and wiped his face fiercely: "Lighten the load and continue to hurry!" ”
The armor soldiers beside him have learned to look like tigers, and they will throw away as much as they can. There are also many people who throw away their armor bags. If you rush with such a load, the mount really can't support it. If you can rush to Lou Fu before the Jurchen Tartars, there will be a chance to replenish the blade armor. If the Jurchen Tartars are allowed to take the lead, even if they are fully equipped, what use will they have?
A cronie came to Du Ruhu's side and said in a low voice: "General, where is the army of King Yan going north now?" ”
Du Ruhu said impatiently: "How do I know? ”
Leaving the army and marching south, he hurried without sleep. I can't get any kind of military information. Du Ruhu doesn't even know what Han Shizhong's main force is doing now, where Xiao Yan is, how can he know?
Nadu shook his head with a wry smile: "Those guys in the fold family are really hurting us a lot." All of a sudden, the situation is ruined! Now the Han generals can draw our troops and horses to the south, even if they arrive, if the army from the south does not arrive, how long can we hold on? ”
are all like tigers, all of them are veterans in the army. The current situation is bad, and I know it very well in my heart.
The flanks of the Shenwu Victorious Army were completely exposed, and the main force had to be withdrawn. If the main forces of the field are destroyed, then there is no need to mention anything. But there is still the main force of the Jurchen Department to contain the main force of guarding the border, how can it be withdrawn?
Han Shizhong must be nailed to the front line of Gugu Village, while counterattacking the direction of Honggu Village, while covering the southward retreat of the main force. For a period of time, the Shenwu Chang Victorious Army in the north could not be counted on. And their little military horse, if they want to plug the gap in Lou Fu, the only reinforcements they can count on are the army of King Yan in the south!
But King Yan has not been on the expedition for a long time, and now he is still organizing a large army to cross the river in the direction of Xijing, and the itinerary may be slower than the direction of Han Shizhong!
The Zhejia family let go of the entrance in the direction of the Lan Army, and the evil consequences have been completely revealed, completely ruining the previous battle situation!
The most likely fate of this small army is to be drowned in the southward frenzy of the Jurchen army.
Du Ruhu looked at the head of the capital, and said, "Scared? ”
Du Tou smiled bitterly: "What am I afraid of?" I'm afraid that if I fight for my life, it will be in vain. We are fighting hard, and a group of birds are demolishing the stage. We're going to die! ”
Du Ruhu immediately straightened his waist, looked around to the left and right, paused and said loudly: "What do you care about other birds!" On the north side there were his own brethren to withdraw, and on the south side the king of Yan came up. Even if we die, we have to block the gap of the building trouble for a few more days! Those birds refuse to fight, we fight to the end! When I got underground, I straightened my spine and saw my ancestors innocently! When the time comes, whether it is the Tartars or those birds, King Yan will clean them up and avenge us! ”
His sharp gaze forced him to the left and right: "Don't you believe that King Yan can't succeed?" ”
The Shenwu Winning Army goes up to the generals and down to the pawns. Who doesn't believe Xiao Yan? Nangui was alone, running such a large force, and reached a position of power in the Great Song Dynasty for a while. Compared with those birds who refused to fight and let the people be slaughtered, King Yan led everyone to their current status, which only makes people feel at ease!
Before the Jurchen army was so frenzied, when the Zhejia army avoided the war and was in a panic in Hedong, only King Yan, let the athletes under his command think of it, was the mainstay of this Great Song Dynasty! Because from beginning to end, King Yan was in Yandi and Bianliang, struggling with all his might, fighting with this thief, and dying like frost in his life, just to meet this war.
Even though the whole world is watching coldly, King Yan is coming!
The whole world does not dare to fight, but the Yan Wang's department dares to fight. After this battle, even if the luck of the world is easier, everyone just has a clear conscience! At that time, the living naturally went to Lingyan Pavilion, even if they were dead, they would also be incense for generations!
For the brothers in the north, for the king of Yan who is coming from the south, even if he dies in the building, what will he get?
"Let's go! Even if you die, you have to stand in front of the Jurchen Tartars! ”
Hundreds of lone troops continued to surge south, all tired and tired, but the speed did not slow down in the slightest!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night is like paint.
On the road, countless horsemen with mixed beards were surging on the mountain road, and countless torches were shining, illuminating the land of the Great Song Dynasty with blood.
Yinshu was just in front of the queue, and these days, the Jurchen general seemed to have stimulated all his energy and body, and hurried without sleep, and at the same time used a roar, a reward, and a qiē means to make this miscellaneous army and horse roll southward without stopping.
Dozens of equally tired Jurchen knights poured silver magic up a mound. On the faces of these Jurchen knights, there was no longer any contempt for Yinshuke, as if they were like the guards he brought out single-handedly.
It was the silver technique that opened the way to victory. Let the flowers and mountains of the Southern Dynasty open up in front of them!
In the distance, Yifang County, which is located in the Lanshui River Valley, is located. This is already past the Lan Mountain, and into the Luliang Mountain to the north of the remnant vein.
Yifang to Loufu, it is from the Lan Mountain and Luliang Mountain, you can pass the army, go straight into the Fen River valley, and go straight to the west of Taiyuan Mansion.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period when the Jin Kingdom set up Fenyangyi here, it has been a battleground for soldiers. As long as there is a strong military horse guard, the west gate of Taiyuan Mansion will be stable and worry-free!
The scene that can be shown in front of these Jurchen Tartars and Zahu knights in Yinshu Ke is Yifang County, the fire is shining, and I don't know how many people are fleeing from here overnight!
Ginjutsu burst into laughter. After the laughter, he raised his hand and pointed forward: "There is no worry here, go over here, take down the trouble of the building, and the southerners will be defeated!" (To be continued......)
