At the foot of Longshou Village, the sound of strings sounded.

Archers and crossbowmen shoot against each other, and it's hard to say which side has a definite advantage.

In terms of strength, it is natural that the crossbow is strong and the bow is weak. However, in terms of the rate of fire, in a battle, it is rare to use a bow and crossbow to determine the winner or loser.

Tonight at the foot of Longshou Village, this confrontation, normally, is that the Jurchen side should have the upper hand.

Not only in terms of the number of archers, the Jurchens far surpassed, and there were more than 100 archers in a few mooke. Coupled with the advantage of the rate of fire of the bow and arrow, the opponent fires a crossbow, and the Jurchen army can return ten arrows. And around the Jurchen archer, there is also a side card shield to cover. Even if the crossbow is strong, it is not stable enough to kill and injure the opponent.

However, for the Shenwu Victorious Army, they have a certain terrain advantage, relying on the large rocks and trees around the mountain road. When winding, he dodges and dodges, and then suddenly gets up and fires. For a while, although many archers were already wounded, and they were also pressed intermittently, they always insisted on resisting.

In a normal battle, when the opponent's shooter is pressed like this, whether it is a cavalry army, you can boldly line up and go straight to kill the opponent. It's already a very favorable battlefield situation.

But the Jurchens who had just risen, although they were very livestock, were still flesh and blood people who would die and be afraid. Defeat this point, and fight several moks. The energy and body of the foot warriors were also exhausted. Each Mouke is a group, and if it is exhausted, all of them are gone, and there are some women and dolls left, and the wealth looted by the loot may not be able to keep much. Fighting tonight this kind of casualty Cheng dù is already under the Jurchen people's winning streak The spirit is in full swing, and the two nobles of Yinshu and Wanyan Xiyin are in front of the enemy. These mooks are their direct henchmen. to get to this point. (The Jurchens of the Song Dynasty are compared with those Jianzhou Jurchens in the late Ming Dynasty.) It is already very capable of bearing casualties, and compared to the Jianzhou Jurchens, who lost five or six percent of each Niu Lu, they complained and did not move, and it was better to go to the sky. But since it is a tribal army, there is always a limit. Normally speaking, the Central Plains Dynasty's ability to endure casualties and organization far exceeded that of the tribal military system, whether it was conscripting good family sons or government soldiers or recruiting soldiers. Therefore, the sons and daughters of the Han family occupied almost all the anointed land in East Asia and passed it on to their descendants. But it is very sad that since the Qin and Han dynasties, the organization of the entire Central Plains Dynasty has also been in the process of continuous decline, and in the end, it is far inferior to the Jianzhou Tartars, which is really a very sad thing - Oscar press)

Fight like this, even if it is Yinshu Ke and Wanyan Xiyin, they can no longer drive these plotters into battle, and let them use their lives to fill in again. Moreover, the terrain occupied by the Shenwu Changsheng Army is at the mountain intersection, and the terrain is getting narrower and narrower. Although the number of people is small, it can also control the passage. The foot warrior slammed into it. If you don't lose dozens of warriors' lives, you won't be able to grab the mountain road!

Now, even if he is active and agile in battle, he can be as agile as a silver technique. I couldn't come up with any way to come out for a while. can only urge the archers under his command to desperately release arrows, even if they waste dozens of fingers. Let's see how long those crossbowmen on the other side can last in the rain of arrows!

And Wanyan Xiyin was sorting out the infantry warriors of each Mouke in the rear, to see if he could gather the armorers who could rush for a while, and press them up to grab the mountain road passage.

Rao is two of them have never given up at the moment, but they both know in their hearts that they are almost wasting their efforts. Under the firelight, I saw Guo Rong and other dozens of remnant army generals climbing higher and higher on the mountain road, and at this moment, they grabbed the entrance of the mountain road, could they still catch up? As long as you enter the Longshou Village, close the village and defend it, the rolling wood and stone arrows and ash bottles are knocked down, and one will die. This narrow passage can't put soldiers and horses and siege equipment, and if you fill in thousands of lives, you may not be able to touch the gate of the wall!

Yinshu Ke looked at the figure of Guo Rong and his party hanging on the steep and winding mountain road, and gritted his teeth.

Yingzhou was defeated, but so what? The hundreds of Jurchen sons and daughters who lost tonight alone are rarely explained in front of Zong Han. And the enemy in front of him seems to be more than just the remnants of the Liao. The Southern Dynasty didn't know how much power it put in the Yunnei Prefectures, and it didn't know how much backup there was in the back!

Yingzhou has been burned to the ground, and it has lost the possibility of being a military station for a short time. From then on, the army had to go hundreds of miles to find a house to live in, a place to collect grain and grass, and a place where horses and animals could shelter from the cold. A number of soldiers and horses had to be left to stare at this Longshou Village, and the enemy army in Yunnei was beyond imagination.

Although he has overcome his pass, Yinshu has no joy in his heart.

If it is really the military horse of the Southern Dynasty surnamed Xiao, then he is really the nemesis of the Jurchens, especially the nemesis of the Western Route Army. Always stand in the way of the Western Route Army's advance!

The footsteps sounded, but it was Wanyan Xiyin who walked to Yinshuke's side, and shook his head without speaking: "Tonight's fight is miserable............ Do you want to catch up? I think it's difficult to keep them, and it's even more difficult to break this dragon head village. ”

Yinshu snorted, gritted his teeth and didn't speak.

Wanyan Xiyin said again: "It's better to just ask." After taking Yingzhou, he can finally explain to Zong Han............ Let the sons take a breath. You led the army to aid Ying Lou Room, and I led the troops here while staring at this stockade while receiving the arrival of Zonghan's army. I can't figure out the truth here, but Lou Room can always find out and understand, and report back to Zong Han at any time. ”

In a battle tonight, generals like Wanyan Xiyin were also a little frightened. But no one who leads the army wants to meet a tough opponent, and few people are willing to fight such a tough battle. At the beginning of the Jurchen rise, thousands of tribal armies faced the overwhelming military horses of the Shangliao people, and they could not live if they did not work hard. Not only can the silver technique be completed, and the generals such as Yan Xi and Yin Lou will fight repeatedly in the enemy formation, but even the generations of Zonghan Zongwang will also personally step into the battle.

But by the time the Liao State had been destroyed, the Jurchen pro-noble army generals had already placed quite a lot of possessions. There are hundreds of mouths under the tent, dozens of concubines and female slaves around them, and how many treasured utensils are stuffed. For example, the silver art is also ambitious, and he takes pleasure in his career. Wanyan Xiyin and the others are much slack, and they can enjoy wealth and prosperity in peace and stability, isn't it better than anything else? His own Mouke is to neutralize the Jurchen tribe, so why bother to fight cleanly on the battle array?

Yingzhou was defeated, and Wanyan Xiyin's henchmen Mouke accompanied hundreds of warriors to lose, and the consumption of vitality was also quite heavy. Nothing was seized. I really don't want to accompany Yinshu anymore. At the moment, I mentioned that my family stayed in Yingzhou to pick up Zong Han here - Yinshu can be agreed. Don't say yes. Anyway, he is here to stay, and Zong Han's army will not be able to reach it, and he will never take another step south.

Wanyan Xiyin retreated here first, how could Yinshu not understand? But he couldn't do anything. Wanyan Xiyin, together with his subordinates, can be said to be reasonable no matter where they get it. He can't force him to do anything anymore - although he is more valued by Zong Han, but under the Jurchen's sloppy military system at the moment, he is only on an equal footing with Wanyan Xiyin, and he is not a head taller.

Even if it doesn't matter if Yan Xiyin takes out his own family and horses. He could no longer drive his own Mok forward.

Looking at the past, a few intimate and loyal Mou Ke in his own family are already in mourning, and his vitality is greatly damaged. If Zong Han didn't allocate a few of his own Mouke to his command, he didn't know how long it would take to recover. Now they have to come forward to die, and no one is willing to fight for him.

But just give up like this, he is not reconciled.

Why can't you always bargain in the hands of this army and win a victory that can be boasted of. And later, bump into this army horse. And how?

- At this moment, Yinshu Ke has firmly believed. This military horse is the military horse he met in Yandi. The army that killed Shehema and left a deep scar on his face!

He stared at the shooting in front of the mountain road, the figure on the mountain road. Silent for a long time. Suddenly, he pointed sharply at the dragon head village in the height.

"Ceres, have you seen the firelight disturbance of the stockade?"

Wanyan Xiyin looked at it and hesitated a little: "There is a little disturbance, so what?" They must also be mobilizing military horses and equipment to prevent us from keeping up with the robbery............ Yinshuke, listen to a certain sentence, tonight's battle, that's it! ”

Yinshu shook his head heavily: "No............ Wrong! There is still a chance, there is still a chance! ”

He strode around and walked back, and Yan Xiyin was stunned: "Yinshuke, what are you doing?" ”

Yinshuke replied loudly: "Select the elite, I will personally lead the army into battle, and grab the mountain road first!" ”

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

On the mountain road, the group climbed upwards with difficulty.

Yingzhou City Fortress, the defenders of the small fort outside, the old department of the new army of the defenders in the city are added, nearly a thousand soldiers and soldiers, and now there are only twenty or thirty left. Even in the meantime, less than half of them were born in the Shenwu Changsheng Army. However, since the formation of the Shenwu Victorious Army, one city, one place, and one battle, there has never been such a heavy loss!

After such a fierce battle, every step forward on this steep mountain road now seems so difficult. Looking at the foot, you can still see crossbow arrows firing from time to time, and the Jurchen army and horses are gathering outside the mountain road, forcing the soldiers to step forward after the break.

Looking upward, Longshou Village is lit up, but it makes people feel that the road ahead is not far, and it is this light that supports everyone to squeeze out the last trace of the body, use both hands and feet, and try their best to go up.

Tang Huai stood up for the two soldiers, swayed and pulled halfway up the mountain, and finally woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around, and suddenly he struggled to break away. Guo Rong was not far from him, stood still and asked, "Fourth brother, what are you doing?" ”

Tang Huaisha roared in a hoarse voice and in a low voice: "What are you going to do if you want me to run for your life?" In Yandi, I escaped once! So many sons have been buried under me, how can I still have the face to see Xianmo and the brother of the Yue family? ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sudden shouting and shouting from the foot of the mountain. Everyone turned their heads to look down, and saw that in the midst of the Jurchen army, another team of infantry warriors had been organized. At this time, he was crossing the archer array and rushing straight to the mountain road.

Everyone can't help but be tongue-in-cheek.

This Jurchen Tartar is really an animal! The heavy armor warriors who exchanged their lives for their lives fought to the death tonight from beginning to end, fighting so many lives. In the middle of it, even if it is an iron man, it is crispy. These Jurchen Tartars can still organize a charge!

If you look closely, you can see it clearly in the firelight. The first armor soldier was stout and tall, and the armor on his body was not only thick, but also gilded and silver, which was much more gorgeous than ordinary generals. It's clear that the Jurchen general is fighting again, and I don't know if it's that silver technique! The Jurchen armor who followed him into battle was only twenty or thirty people. It seems that all the guards around him were pulled up to organize such a charging team.

Seeing this, everyone first breathed a sigh of relief. Fight like this. The Jurchens also fought to the end of the mountain. This is a Jurchen tartar who blows to the sky. If it weren't for the crowds. If it weren't for Meng Nuan, a traitor, nothing would have overwhelmed our Shenwu Victorious Army! Don't look down on this Jurchen Tartar, the number is equal, and we have to fight with these Jurchen Tartars! Wait for the arrival of the army led by Xianmo, let these Jurchen Tartars return their blood and their lives to their lives!

Then everyone couldn't help but feel sad, and the brothers were finished!

Now the Jurchen Tartars suppress them with archers, and the infantry warriors in the battle can make up so much although they can go into battle in person. But that's enough. Rushing in under the cover of archers, these already scarred brethren were only drowned by these Jurchen Tartars.

All those who were saved owe them their lives, and they owe the lives of so many warriors who fought to the death tonight and died with the enemy!

Tang Huai's struggle suddenly became violent, and he didn't speak, but used all his strength to break free and die with the broken brother.

This taciturn Tang Shilang was very simple-minded, and that day in Yandi, he was in charge of monitoring the Yelu Dashi Department. As a result, Dong Dalang attacked, and the soldiers were defeated and seriously injured. Although he never said it. But the guilt and shame in my heart have never faded. Unwilling to be a general of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, he is willing to guard the foundation for Xiao Yan in the hardships of Yandi, which is his atonement.

Now leave him to guard Yingzhou, and the result is such an ending, how can he still have the face to go back alive?

The two soldiers couldn't catch Tang Huai at the sight. Guo Rong strode over, looked at Tang Huai, and said softly: "Fourth brother, now that so many brothers are alive, you are going to seek death, and I am not alive, that's what I said............ You're going to turn back, I'm average. ”

Tang Huai was stunned, his face flushed: "............ You............ Siu Hsien Mo............ You're not ............."

Guo Rong replied lightly: "What's the difference?" Seeing so many brothers dying in front of my eyes, what do you think of my heart? I am the daughter who grew up in the Yandi army, and I have revenge and revenge! Since you survive, you have to see what happens to these Tartars with your own eyes! From now on, no one is allowed to die lightly! No one is allowed to die in order to protect me! So many brothers have died, and everyone's lives are all the same! ”

Tang Huai's chest rose and fell violently, and finally exhaled and nodded heavily: "Revenge!" ”

On the mountain road, dozens of soldiers stared at the Jurchen military horses and rushed to the entrance of the mountain road, and the broken sons and daughters shouted and made a final fight with them, all of them gritted their teeth and responded: "Revenge!" ”

Guo Rong didn't say much, turned her head and climbed up. All the soldiers and soldiers silently followed, and they never looked back.

Thirteen follows Guo Rong at any time. This female general, although her status is very high, her grandfather is very respectful in front of her. But since the inexplicable surrender in Yunnei, this young and pretty female general with a ponytail has made Thirteen feel inexplicably close.

In his vague memory, when he was a slave to the Xi people, it seemed that there was such a young lady in his master's account. By now, it should be the age of this female general. The most important thing is that the young lady and the female general have vaguely stubborn eyes. The deepest impression of being a shepherd slave is eternal hunger, but the young lady, every time she sees him, she will always look for him to eat. When he gobbled up, he would also touch his head.

Before meeting Grandpa, this was the warmest memory in his life.

To be honest, Thirteen didn't have the ability to deliberately please sycophants, just because of this inexplicable sense of closeness, he followed Guo Rong closely. Needless to say, those soldiers who fought to the death all night on the mountain road were the soldiers and soldiers who came down from Longshou Village to respond. Thirteen people walked like flying on the mountain road, and the little monkey was also as dexterous. not only took care of Guo Rong, but also took a lot of blades and weapons in other people's hands, and he couldn't see that he was tired at all.

The group walked up a few feet further, and Thirteen suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "No! ”

Guo Rong just climbed up with her head stuffed on one side, and she really didn't have the strength to speak. Hearing the movement of the thirteen next to him, he stopped, shook his body to catch his breath, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead that had become cold, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Thirteen didn't speak, just pointed to it.

Longshou Village was quietly entrenched overhead, and the flames on the torches on the walled wall were torn up and down, reflecting several dark and dull figures standing on the wall. But the gate was tightly closed.

Guo Rong's heart couldn't help but sink. Why didn't the gate open?

But now I can't do it. Is there a way back? And Longshou Village is high on the top of the mountain, the difficulty of the ape, what will be the sudden change? Xu is most of the military horses have already gone down the mountain to respond, but only a few people remain in the village, just in case, the gate of the village is closed?

Thirteen took off the blade he was carrying and began to unload his armor again. Guo Rong was surprised: "What are you doing?" ”

Thirteen looked at Guo Rong, snorting and not knowing how to speak. looked at Thirteen as a teenager. Guo Rong smiled: "Just call me sister." ”

Thirteen smiled, he had never forgotten that he was a little herdsman, and the female general in front of him was a figure that grandpa had to look up to. This sister didn't dare to shout, but said: "I secretly hid on the edge of the walled gate, even if there are people in the wall, I can't find out if there's anything wrong, I can also come in handy." ”

Guo Rong snorted, thinking that this was also a solution: "Then I'll choose a few more people to go with you." ”

Thirteen shook his head: "If there are more people, the movement will be big, and you can't hide the ears and eyes of the people in the village." It's enough to have one person. ”

said without waiting for Guo Rong to speak again. In a blink of an eye, he unloaded all the pieces on his body, and he was wearing a sackcloth. He tightened his belt, put a long dagger at his waist, grabbed the crack in the stone and jumped out of the mountain road, and immediately disappeared, not even a sound.

Guo Rong looked at it in a daze, and couldn't help but admire it in her heart. This little guy is very capable! No wonder it was sent by Yunnei, and a single person came to Yingzhou to report in the ice and snow!

She grew up in the army, and she knew that some warriors in the army were given enough food and training, and after a few battles, she was lucky enough to survive and train in batches. But some people are born with this endowment, he can survive where others can't survive, and he treats things that others can't do as normal. This little guy is one of them!

Thirteen was moving just now, and everyone in the group saw it. When Thirteen disappeared, everyone's eyes fell on Guo Rong. Guo Rong looked up, but Longshou Village was quiet.

At this moment, what else?

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

The wind howled in front of the gate, and the flag was blown by the wind, dancing wildly, and fighting straight on the dare.

The flames of each torch were torn apart by the cold wind, and it seemed as if they would be blown out at any moment.

Several dark shadows stood motionless on the wall. It seemed to be waiting for Guo Rong and his party to retreat to the village.

There was finally a heavy sound of footsteps under the wall, and I saw Guo Rong taking the lead, leading a group of exhausted and scarred soldiers to climb up the mountain, everyone was so tired that they couldn't lift their feet, and some people collapsed to the ground when they climbed up, except for panting heavily, they didn't move their fingers.

Guo Rong was still struggling to support herself, and after a few heavy gasps, she said loudly: "It's us!" Hurry up and open the gate! ”

With this shout, more torches suddenly lit on the wall, dozens of figures rushed up from below, and several torches illuminated a tall figure, and everyone's eyes looked at it, and they all recognized it at once.

It's Meng Nuan, it's Meng Nuan!

How could he be in this Longshou Village? How come he hasn't died yet!

Meng Nuan's body was also bloodstained and bruised, and the sergeants who followed him to the wall were no better. Tonight is too tragic and too difficult for anyone, and I can't even believe that I can live until now.

Meng Nuan pressed the wall and looked at Guo Rong deadly.

In the light of the night, the girl's eyes widened. Even after such a fight, Guo Rong's beautiful temperament has not diminished slightly. When she saw Meng Nuan appear on the wall, she pursed her lips stubbornly, but she made people feel twice as pitied.

"It's you!"

Meng Nuan laughed: "How is it not me? The princess of Shu, but if you want to enter here and escape the Jurchen pursuit, you have to be wronged by the princess of Shu, I don't know if you want to princess? ”

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

The battle at the mountain pass has finally come to an end. After the break, the corpses of the soldiers were scattered around the mountain pass, and everyone killed until the arrows were broken, and finally they fell unwillingly.

In order to snatch this mountain pass, Yinshu Ke only had a personal guard by his side, and he went half more!

Each of the surviving guards looked at Yinjuke.

Fill in a lot of lives and snatch the mountain pass, what's the use?

Yinshu was also covered in blood, and there was a crossbow bolt stuck in his shoulder armor, if he hadn't been carrying a double layer of heavy armor, and the armor leaves were all cold-forged iron, this blow would have pierced his shoulder.

Silversmith didn't care about the injury, he just tried his best to look up.

Longshou Village is lighting torches at this moment, illuminating the top of the mountain. But the gate of the village was not opened!

Wanyan Xiyin's shout came from behind: "Yinshu, the gate of the village has not been opened!" Longshou Village has changed! ”

Yinshu can no longer hesitate, his hunch is right, there is an accident in Longshou Village, he still has a chance! Kill the enemy in front of him that he hates deeply and is faintly jealous! Capture the character who pretends to be the princess of Shu Kingdom, and find out all the truth and fiction of the enemy in front of you!

Maybe it's all an excuse, maybe it's just such an opponent, which makes him feel that he is the only enemy of the Jurchens, and if he kills one, he will have one less!

He pointed at his long knife: "I'll go first!" Ceres, you urge the team to follow-up, let's go and rob Longshou Village! (To be continued......)
