Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the east of Xinxiang City, there is an inconspicuous small temple, only one house, the vermilion lacquer painting has long been gone, and the black idol has also lost its arms and half of its head, revealing the wooden stalk straw inside, and the incense burner on the table has been sold by Huazi.
But since a month ago, there has been an endless stream of people coming to burn incense and make offerings. These days there are more and more people, young women, white Laosuo, and even ignorant children, they all gather in front of this small temple. Sometimes there were so many people that some had to kneel outside. Even so, it is as good as it gets.
Everyone who comes will silently look at the plaque with a missing corner, and the three words on it are still vaguely recognizable.
Yue Wang Temple!
Once an anti-gold hero, Yue Wumu's temple!
Open the map of Xinxiang, you can clearly see a series of place names, each with the word camp: Dianhouying, Ma Xiaoying, Zang Ying, Mengying, Jinjiaying, Shen Xiaoying, Bali Ying, Qili Ying, Liuzhuang Ying, Ren Xiaoying, Dongying, Qincun Ying......
Hundreds of years ago, countless loyal souls fought bloody battles here, swearing to defend the barrier of the Yellow River to the death to ensure that Kaifeng was not lost.
Hundreds of years have passed, and it seems that the former feat of resisting gold has become a cloud of the past. But when the Manchu iron cavalry went south again, the memories in the blood were stirred up again.
The young and strong people in the city were constantly recruited, either into the army, or became people. Whenever someone wants to join the front line, the family will silently light a stick of incense in front of the Yuewang Temple!
Wu Mu's heroic spirit will not disperse, bless the world!
The ancestors, fighting bloody battles against foreign races, sprinkled their blood on the mountains and rivers.
Children and grandchildren are not good. There are also a few proud bones, sworn to fight to the death, even if it is a horse leather shroud!
"Folks, let go, let go!"
A few villagers held a brand-new portrait and walked over to this side tremblingly.
"Lord Yue. The children and grandchildren are not filial, and they have forgotten your old man all these years, so that the Tartars will ravage the Central Plains again, and the common people will be devastated. Your boss has a large number, bless these unworthy descendants, and keep the inheritance of this ancestor! ”
Listen to the bloody cry of the old pedant cuckoo. All the people present wept.
Several young men took the portrait and hung it respectfully in front of the idol. The picture scroll unfolded, and a golden armor general appeared in front of everyone.
Eight feet tall, with a face like pale gold, holding a sharpshooter in his hand, and his eyes like lightning. Majestic. Behind Yue Fei is the surging Yellow River, and beside him is the majestic Taihang Mountain.
"Good!"
"It's so well drawn!"
"I dare to say that this is what Song Xie Yuan can paint, it is really expressive, and the prince of Yue is right in front of him!"
"By the way, what about Song Xiao Xie Yuan, why didn't he come?" Some of the people couldn't help but look around. It's just that they don't see the Wenqu star in their minds.
The old scholar stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "Song Jieyuan has already joined the army, he handed over the portrait to the old man, and said that Fang is under today, the people of Li are in misery, and the Tartars are rampant." Wonderful pen and flowers, no match for the three-foot steel front, the real family and country, should join the army to serve the country, he has already joined An**. ”
The people around listened silently. There were a few young men with blood boiling in their chests, and they couldn't help but say: "That's right, An ** is disciplined, comparable to the former Yue Jiajun, and it is a good time for a good man to join the army and serve the country." Don't hesitate anymore. ”
"That's right, follow the Duke of Ji and drive away the Tartars!"
The people of Xinxiang are full of enthusiasm, and there are Qing troops everywhere who took the initiative to join the army, even if they could not officially join the army, they all became people's husbands, took the initiative to help build fortifications, carry food, unload the door panels, made stretchers, and waited to rescue the wounded.
Just when everyone's spirit was at its tightest, just outside Xinxiang City, in the small fort, the wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky, the cannon sounded, and the Qing army finally appeared outside the city.
Wu Sangui's army of 50,000 or 60,000 people, in addition to the main force trying to cross the Wei River from Qimen Town and kill Ji County, also sent two teams on the left and right, the left flank was Hu Xinshui, bypassing Huaxian County, attacking the city behind Ji County, and the right flank was led by Xia Longshan, going south through Sumen Mountain and storming Xinxiang.
The calculation of the big traitor is obvious, and the three-way army, together with difficulties, will encircle and annihilate An ** north of the Yellow River.
"Regiment commander, this is the arrow book shot by the Qing army."
A soldier sent the arrow book to Guo Yunlong, Guo Yunlong took the arrow book, opened it and looked at it, and a sneer appeared on his face.
It turned out that this arrow book was written by Xia Longshan himself, on which he first asked for warmth, telling the friendship of fighting side by side in Liaodong back then, and then the conversation changed, and he said that Guo Yunlong should not listen to slander and follow the bandits by mistake......
When Guo Yunlong saw it, he had the intention to directly tear up the arrow book, but suddenly a sly smile flashed on his face. He hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring pen and ink, Guo Yunlong twisted crookedly, added a few words to the back, and then let his subordinates shoot to the other side of the Wei River. The Qing army had already received the letter and sent it to Xia Longshan.
Xia Longshan is less than forty, with a thick tendon and flesh, and the battle is extremely crazy, taking off his armor, he is scarred all over his body, and half of his roots are staggered, and he is a famous warrior under Wu Sangui. This guy is very bold, and he used to have a good relationship with Guo Yunlong, but there is only one point, that is, Xia Longshan is loyal to Wu Sangui and obeys his orders. Even if he became a notorious traitor and became a second tartar, he didn't know how to repent.
"Look, General, the city has replied!"
When Xia Longshan heard this, he was also overjoyed, he was just doing a routine thing, and he wanted to test the military spirit to deal with it, but he didn't know that Guo Yunlong actually replied.
Unfolded it, I saw that it was written: Sincerely persuade to surrender, and come in person.
The crooked eight words, the meaning is very clear, if you want me to surrender, you should always show your sincerity! You yourself have come to persuade you to surrender.
"General, I'm afraid there is fraud, you can't be in danger!"
Xia Longshan's brows tightened, he looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Send the envoy over first, if Guo Yunlong can sacrifice Xinxiang, it will save trouble." ”
Immediately, he sent a person who thought he was surnamed Tang, with a letter from Xia Longshan, wading through the water, crossing the Wei River, and coming to Xinxiang City. Xia Longshan also took people and horses to the river, the source of the Weihe Taihang Mountain, stretching through Xinxiang, Jixian, Neihuang, Daming and other places, is one of the flow of the Haihe River.
The river is only two or three hundred meters away from the nearest part of the city wall, and the distance between Xia Long Mountain and Guo Yunlong at the head of the city is only four or five hundred meters, and everyone can vaguely see each other's faces.
Guo Yunlong asked people to put down the hanging basket and lifted Tang Juren to the city.
Tang Juren looked at Guo Yunlong, and hurriedly smiled: "The general is polite, and the villain has given General Xia's ......."
Before he could finish his words, the soldiers on both sides knocked him to the ground with three punches and two kicks, and then strangled his mouth with rags, and one soldier held the handle of the knife and smashed off his two front teeth so hard that the guy shivered and sweated all over his head.
Guo Yunlong sneered, "I wanted to catch the big fish of Xia Longshan, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door, so it's okay, then use your dog's head to sacrifice the flag!" ”
Guo Yunlong asked the soldiers to carry the soup to the top of the city. Guo Yunlong looked at Xia Longshan in the distance, and sneered: "Brother Xia, we also killed Tartars together back then, what a pleasure it was, I really don't understand, why are you willing to wear a pig's tail and be a slave to the Manchu Dynasty?" ”
Xia Longshan's voice was like a bell, and he shouted loudly: "Guo Yunlong, I still recognize you as a brother, let's eat food and become soldiers, what we ask for is to be crowned with a wife and a son, glory and wealth, and who is different." Emperor Zhu has no way, and it is not good to treat our brothers, so listen to the Qing Emperor, what's wrong? Our prince is kind to his subordinates, you betrayed the prince, is it reasonable? ”
When Guo Yunlong heard this, he laughed loudly: "Xia Longshan, I really don't know how to refute you when I said this a year ago, but since I followed Grandpa Guo, Guo really understood that eating food as a soldier, what we eat is not Emperor Zhu's grain, but the food of the people in the world!" Our mission is to protect these people. Like you, throwing aside the shame and being willing to be a lackey for a foreign race, that is not a human way of life, but a beast, a beast that is not even as good as a dog! ”
Guo Yunlong said, the long knife in his hand was stabbed and read the lawsuit, and Lu Zhen sent the imitation Lai to stir up the trick
"Xia Longshan, sooner or later, one day, you and Wu Sangui, that dog traitor, will all end up like this!"
"You!"
The dazzling blood made Xia Longshan's mouth hot, and he pumped so hard!
"Guo Yunlong, Lao Tzu killed you!"
Xia Longshan suddenly pulled out his waist knife, and as soon as he urged the war horse, he rushed towards Weihe. When the soldiers behind saw that the main general rushed up, they did not dare to slack off, and they all followed across the river.
"Little Xinxiang, dare to stop Lao Tzu, that's a fool's dream!" Xia Longshan scolded bitterly as he ran.
And above the city, Guo Yunlong saw Xia Longshan rushing over, and suddenly showed a look of ecstasy on his face.
Five hundred steps, four hundred and fifty steps, four hundred steps, three hundred and fifty steps......
"It's here! Guo Yunlong waved his hand violently and shouted loudly: "Release!" ”
Suddenly, there was a sound of stabbing and burning ropes at the head of the city, and then something shaped like a bird crossed a graceful arc and slammed down towards the outside of the city.
Hundreds of flaming birds scattered in the air.
It's nothing else, it's the Divine Fire Crow!
This thing is made of fine bamboo or reeds, filled with gunpowder, and two "fire" cylinders are contained on each side of the crow's body, and the bottom of the "fire" cartridge is connected to the gunpowder medicine line in the crow's body. During the battle, the crow is shot 1 foot away with the thrust of "starting a fire", and when the crow lands, the gunpowder contained inside is ignited and explodes, just like a primitive rocket.
Gu Zhenhua attaches great importance to firearms, and the Divine Fire Flying Crow is also manufactured in large quantities, compared with the past, the dose of gunpowder has been increased, and the iron shell has been covered, and the power has suddenly increased by several grades. In short, this new version of the Divine Fire Raven is a self-powered grenade.
The two wings provided stability for this grenade, and more than a hundred of them smashed towards Xia Longshan like a team of special agents who were not afraid of death.
