Looking down the mountain from the Longshou Village, the Yingzhou city fortress, which was strict and strong in the past, has been burned to a white ground.

The rammed earth is the base, and the stone wall is still intact, but the wall is full of smoky and scorched black marks. The enemy tower, which used to be closed at the towering South Gate, has collapsed into unrecognizable ruins.

Yingzhou City was originally stuffed with all kinds of buildings, or garrison soldiers, or store grain and grass military materials. After a fire, it all came to naught. All around are broken bricks and tiles, scorched beams and trees. In the past few days, the light snow has covered the charred ruins with a thin layer, and the whole scene seems as if the fortress has been abandoned for several years. A few days ago, there were more than 1,000 soldiers, flags flying, golden drums smelling each other, and the scene of pillowing and waiting for the end of the day was like a dream at this moment.

The small fort outside the city, in comparison, is relatively intact and has not been violently damaged. Only on the walls of the fort, there were blood stains everywhere, and the desperate resistance of the remaining defenders was recorded.

Most of the Jurchen military horses were stationed in the small fort to avoid the cold wind in the wilderness and to control the remnants of the defenders on the Longshou Village. In the fortress of Yingzhou, there was no one in the city, only the city gate was open, and occasionally Jurchen knights entered and exited.

Outside the city fortress, the Jurchen military horse activity is obvious, and a large number of Jurchen light horsemen are sent out every day, either to capture raw mouths, or to plunder grain and grass.

Guo Rong and their last fire were too ruthless, and the accumulated reserves in Yingzhou City were burned. The Jurchen military horses also have to eat and drink, and the daily grass of the war horses is a big number. Yinshu can ride lightly to hide his whereabouts and attack Yingzhou, and he has no belongings. Now I am empty-handed, so I can only search around.

However, the dock wall fort near the left side of Yingzhou has almost been swept away by Yinshuke, and Shengkou has also been driven into battle. Almost lost. Yingzhou was originally a deserted place. Not many people have food reserves. Make another effort. It can't be levied much. Almost all I saw every day was that the Jurchen rode out early in the morning, and only turned around empty-handed at dusk, exhausted.

If there is less food for people and horses, even iron men can't support it. The remnants of the military horses of the Yinshu Ke Department are now almost all shrunk within the four small forts, and there is little movement. A rather sparse blockade was maintained, and there were fewer night patrols. He looked powerless to move anymore.

On Longshou Village, he has been closely watching the movements of the Jurchen army in front of him for the past few days.

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

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps stepping on the snow under the wall. Several soldiers and soldiers on the wall who were in charge of monitoring the movements of the Jurchen army and horses turned around. I saw Guo Rong Tanghuai and a few people, wrapped in cloaks, striding up. Thirteen is now completely Guo Rong's henchmen, wearing armor and pressing knives, and following closely behind Guo Rong with a bit of a look.

Yingzhou fought to the death, and these escape soldiers have not completely recovered for a few days. Thirteen didn't look tired at all, he still looked like an energetic teenager. Now he is a rising star in the Shenwu Ever-Winning Army, as long as he can survive, he will definitely become famous in the whole army in the future!

However, Thirteen doesn't know how high others think of him, and some people talk about compliments and just laugh. I couldn't say a few words for a long time after touching my head. Let him do what he does. This kind of pure appearance is even more loved. Guo Rong simply treated him as a younger brother.

Guo Rong walked up to the wall. Glancing at the scene below, the movements of the Jurchen military horses were still as listless as a few days ago.

"How?"

The general on the wall stood up straight and replied respectfully: "Princess, it's still like that." The Jurchen Tartars really have no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, if it weren't for Meng Nuan's thief Neiying, he wouldn't be able to defeat Yingzhou if he died. Although he is lucky now, his own vitality is also greatly damaged. If you have no food or grass, you can't toss any tricks............ According to the last general's shallow view, it is a good time to take the opportunity to break through. Isn't there a secret passage that leads down the mountain? ”

Although there is no need to pretend to be the name of the princess of Shu now, but the people in the army have long been familiar with it, so they will be wrong.

Guo Rong looked at it carefully for a while, and slowly shook his head: "Without foreign aid, we will never be able to break through." The biggest weakness of our stay here is that we don't have horses. Relying only on their own armor and soldiers to bring dry food, how far can they go in the ice and snow? The Jurchen Tartars are short of food and grass, and there is no trouble in chasing and killing us, just such dozens of children, I want to bring them back completely! ”

In a bloody battle in Yingzhou, Guo Rong now speaks crisply and has firm eyes. It's like he's already a qualified general, and it's no longer the scene of being a mascot when he first arrives in Yunnei. And her death as a pioneer and her consideration for the soldiers under her command have also been respected by these dozens of hundreds of people who have survived the war, and now she is really regarded as the commander of an army.

The general agreed, rubbed his hands and said bitterly: "There is a lot of storage in the stockade, and there is no shortage of water. I can't die if I sit here for half a year, but I always watch these Tartars show off their might, and we all have fire in our hearts! When will you get revenge............ When will reinforcements from the south come up? ”

Before Guo Rong could answer, Thirteen suddenly pointed south: "There is movement over there!" It seems that a military horse is coming! ”

Everyone was stunned, and turned their heads to look south. I saw the snow line in the sky, and there seemed to be faint snow and dust churning, and it was difficult to see clearly without exhausting my eyesight. Thirteen, this kid, how did he be born so quick-eyed, how did he get it?

Everyone is pressing the wall, and their hearts are full of expectations. It has been a long time since the Jurchen Army suddenly appeared in Yunnei. The nearest of the Hedong Shenwu Changsheng Army is the Yue Invincible Department stationed in the Yanmen Pass. Calculating the time, if Yue Wuyi's troops set off immediately upon hearing the news, they should have arrived in the Wuzhou area by now. Wuzhou Wang Gui's department, maybe some elites can come to help? At least I'm going to send people to contact Yingzhou!

After a short while, the snow and dust churning in the distance became more distinct. The Jurchen military horses stationed outside Yingzhou City also discovered the movement in the south, with the sound of the horn and the order. First, the light cavalry galloped out of the small fort and formed a small team to go to the sentry. The Jurchen military horses of the brigade went out to form a team, wearing armor and holding soldiers. Under the crowd on several sides, the Jurchen guards wearing heavy armor also embraced the silver technique. From afar. He was dressed in heavy armor of gilt and silver. It is also clear to distinguish.

With the wave of the flag. Horn herald. The main force of the Jurchen army began to line up and advanced slightly. Several bed crossbows captured in the fortress were also spread out on the fortress wall, and the thick crossbow arrows were placed, and the arrows reflected the cold snow light. The whole army put on the appearance of facing a great enemy.

Seeing the movement of the Jurchen army, the people on the wall of the wall were even more elated, and a military general high-fived him with a fist: "I just said that reinforcements from the south should also come!" Is there any reason to leave the state alone? It's time to find out the news! ”

Then immediately the general's eyes were red: "Hundreds of wounded robes, this blood feud, this shame." There will be retribution! As long as I can leave this village, my life should be thrown in front of the Jurchen Tartar array! Say anything, kill the chieftain of this bird silver magic ko! ”

More people in the village heard the movement outside, and the horn mobilized by the Jurchen army was also heard inside the village. Almost all the defenders in the wall were on the wall, looking south.

At this moment, they were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the south, but they were ashamed to see the robe from the south. Hundreds of athletes, the bones were thrown in Yingzhou, and the danger of Xiongsai fell to the enemy overnight. Since the formation of the Shenwu Victory Army, how has there ever been?

Only blood for blood, life for life!

In the eyes of the two armies of Longshouzhai in Yingzhou City. The movement to the south is getting louder and louder. In the snow and dust, a group of knights who looked like black spots could be faintly seen coming slowly.

The silver can be commanded by the light horseman to make cautious contact. After circling for a moment, he beat his horse and rushed straight into the crowd of men and horses. Then he galloped back, and even on Longshou Village, it seemed that he could hear the cheers and screams of these Jurchen light horse sentinels!

After a while, the southbound military horses became more and more distinct. A tall and healthy Liaodong military horse with a messy mane, carrying a short body, a fur hat, and a Jurchen armor soldier with a big cake face. The flags are flying, all of which are the Jurchen Mouke flags. Dozens of Jurchen heavy-armored guards held a larger banner, and there were several Jurchen generals among the guards under the banner.

I am afraid that there are not more than 1,000 people on this military horse, and the mounts are doubled. Scattered among the snow fields, roll up a lot of momentum. And the Jurchen army horses lined up outside the city fortress of Yingzhou also suddenly moved, and they sped up to meet them. It didn't take long for the two armies to mix. The Jurchen armor soldiers dismounted one after another, hugged each other and cheered, the flags were flying, and the neighing of people shouted horses aroused Lao Gao, and he looked elated.

It's the Jurchen military horses coming from the south! And whether it is Wang Guijun of Wuzhou or Han Shizhong of Yuefei of Hedong, it is still invisible!

On the Longshou Village, everyone's hearts sank. There was silence, only the cheering of the Jurchen military horses of the brigade could be heard. Everyone's heart seems to be at rock bottom.

The Jurchen army that came from the south must have been the army that swept Shuozhou some time ago, and now it has moved to the south. Could it be that Wang Guijun of Wuzhou has been defeated? Or maybe even the reinforcements from Hedong were cut off?

If there are no reinforcements, even if Longshou Village is a dangerous place, how long can it last?

Guo Rong looked at Shaoqing with a cold face, snorted coldly, and said loudly: "The Jurchen Tartars get together, and it will be more convenient to kill them when the time comes!" Two or three thousand Jurchen Tartars, as well as Neiying, took it a lot of effort to take Yingzhou, and the casualties were no less than ours. How many military horses are there in Wuzhou Hedong? These Jurchen Tartars don't have that much ability! Recharge your batteries, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and avenge the death of so many brothers who have died! I was frightened by this Jurchen Tartar, and the surnamed Xiao boasted to me all day long about how strong you are, and I feel ashamed of you! ”

The soldiers and soldiers on the wall of the wall said these words to Guo Rong, they are all fighting men for the rest of their lives, and the difficult scenes they have experienced are far more than Guo Rong. However, every army is always accustomed to fighting under the formation of one army, echoing each other, and fighting in groups. The lone army hung behind the enemy, there was no news of the army, and it had only experienced a defeat, so it was inevitable that there was a little panic, and I was even more worried that the Jurchen Tartars were desperately trying to seize this passage, and now the main force was assembled, and the war did not know in what direction it would develop. thinks too much, but it is not as simple and determined as Guo Rong.

Guo Rong lifted the cloak behind her, turned around and left: "I want to see when this surnamed Xiao will come!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and strode away, and Thirteen, as a personal guard, followed closely behind the eldest lady of the Guo family. The soldiers and soldiers who remained on the wall looked at each other.

It turned out that when she saw the prospect, the reaction of the eldest lady of the Guo family was that Xiao Xianmo was angry that Xiao Xianmo came too late, and she didn't expect to be afraid of this word at all, and she didn't care about the direction of the war. In this regard, we are indeed far inferior to the eldest lady of the Guo family...............

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

Except for Guo Rong on Longshou Village, they watched the two Jurchen armies and horse divisions, between the mountains in the southwest of Yingzhou. There was also a small military horse watching the scene of Yingzhou in the distance.

This army of horses is none other than the dozens of knights led by Tian Qiong. These days they went among the mountains. Avoiding the patrol and sentry of the Lou Room Department of the Jurchen Army, I don't know how much hard work I have endured, and how many dangerous roads I have taken with my mount before I arrived near Yingzhou. It used to be two horses for one person, but now it can only barely guarantee that one person has one horse. Everyone's beard and eyebrows are white, and their faces are full of large and small bloody wounds cut by the cold wind, and they are so thin that their cheeks and cheekbones are high.

When they arrived here, they found Yingzhou in the distance. It is already a post-catastrophe scene, and the Jurchen patrol sentinels are also haunting the inner city of Yingzhou. They came one step too late, and they didn't know what means the Jurchen Tartars used to conquer this fortified city!

For the current sudden outbreak of war, it is out-and-out bad news. Yingzhou is already the key to this war, the Shenwu Changsheng army held here, and the main force of the Jurchen army in the south was isolated in Yunnei, and after the main force of Hedong caught up, they wanted to rub these Jurchen Tartars round and round, and they wanted to rub them flat. But Yingzhou was lost. The Jurchen Tartars took the initiative and advanced and retreated freely. Moreover, the main force of the Jurchen army in Datong Mansion in Xijing, I don't know what actions will happen!

When everyone saw the tragic fall of Yingzhou, their hearts were ten times colder than the weather outside their bodies.

The only good news that can be comforted is that on the Longshou Village, there is still the banner of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army! I don't know if the lady of the Guo family also retreated to Longshou Village safely!

Since this is the case in Yingzhou, the dozens of horsemen in Tian Qiong's department are powerless to return to the sky. The only thing that can be done is to send the Chuanchuan Cavalry back day and night, and first return the direction here. The rest of the knights, see if they can establish contact with the defenders of Longshou Village.

Alone behind enemy lines, knowing that there are reinforcements outside and not knowing the movement of reinforcements are two completely different concepts. There is news of reinforcements from outside, and the defenders can support it even more!

Moreover, Tian Qiong also noticed that although the Jurchen military horses captured the Yingzhou fortress, they also looked like they were seriously injured, and they shrank in the small fort outside the fortress every day, even if they sent the military horses, they seemed to be collecting grain. In the city of Yingzhou, there was almost no soldier. There are not many patrol sentry scouts, and at night they are almost full of loopholes, and they can sneak through without much effort.

After roughly figuring out the movements of the Jurchen Tartars in front of him, Tian Qiong prepared to take the opportunity to sneak over tonight to see if he could go straight into the Longshou Village. If you are lucky, maybe you won't be able to alarm the Jurchen Tartars, and if the Guo family lady is in Longshou Village, maybe she can escort her out at night!

But after a plan, it came to naught. Today, the Lou Room Department has actually moved further north, and the forward has arrived in Yingzhou and joined the Jurchen Tartars here. With these military horses joining, Yingzhou Zuo is firmly in the hands of the Jurchen Tartars, and it is extremely difficult to make any moves. And the military horses from the south are also more difficult to seize the important place of the state, and the states of Yunnei have been completely open to the main force of the Jurchen West Route Army in Xijing Datong Mansion since then!

Tian Qiong squatted on the top of the mountain, staring blankly at the edge of his eyes, he had a withered grass in his mouth, and he only shook it for a while.

The sergeants under his command also squatted with him, and all of them had ugly faces, and none of them would say a word.

I don't know how long it took before Tian Qiong said in a low voice: "You don't have to act tonight, send someone back to report this latest military information." ”

One of his envoys agreed, and then asked, "What should we do?" ”

Tian Qiong snorted: "I came here after so much hard work, and I can't go back?" Just stare here, watch these Jurchen Tartars make every move! ”

The envoy asked again: "Don't you go to Longshou Village?" ”

Tian Qiong shook his head: "Longshou Village is strong, and thousands of Jurchen Tartars have been added, and I won't be able to gnaw it for a while." Unless they catch a few thousand raw holes and fill them slowly with their lives............ If we want to act rashly now, we will give the lives of these dozens of brothers in vain............ Just watch it here! After the Jurchen Tartars swept Shuozhou, they moved their troops here. robbed a lot of grain, they didn't eat and drink comfortably in Shuozhou, even if they died, they had to keep the passage of Yingzhou............ I always feel that Zong Han of Datong Mansion in Xijing will definitely make some moves! This battle is getting bigger and bigger! ”

Hearing that Zong Han of Xijing Datong Mansion was going to move, the envoy's face turned a little pale. That's tens of thousands of Jurchen Tartar soldiers, and I don't know how many auxiliary soldiers of various ethnic groups there are. Thousands of Jurchen Tartars shook Yunnei and grabbed Yingzhou. There are so many main forces, that is, the Hedong Army comes up, and I don't know how to fight a hard battle!

Tian Qiong took a breath and spit out the withered grass in his mouth on the snow: "If the Jurchen Tartars of Xijing Datong Mansion come, this battle, King Yan can't help but come!" Straight sissy thief, it's another big war! We are always victorious in our martial arts, and we always encounter such a battle to the death! ”

So saying, he beckoned his subordinates to retreat from the top of the mountain, looking for a sheltered place to spend the night, since they were going to delay here, they had to better maintain the body of the men and horses. If there is any change in the military situation, it is good to pass it back in time.

Tian Qiong is also an old soldier, and now he has a strong premonition, maybe in a few days, he will be able to see the Jurchen army, which will appear from the north in an endless stream, overwhelmingly in front of the Shenwu Changsheng army!

At this moment, I can only think about Longshou Village.

When he was about to retreat down the mountain, Tian Qiong took a deep look at Longshou Village for the last time.

Thirteen, did you escape? Is it on this dragon's head village?

You have to live! (To be continued......)
