Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 177 Feasting on the Hongmen (20)

After some fighting, the Jurchen rangers are also slowly cleaning up the battlefield. The wounded of their own family were rescued, set aside, burned the wounds with fire, and hurriedly anointed them with ointment amid the heart-rending cries of the wounded, and then wrapped them in blankets, put them on horseback, and sent them in the direction of Yifang City.

And the wounded and severely injured left by the Southern Army were cut off with a knife. And those who had a slightly lighter wound and could live longer, the two of them stood up and sent them towards the place where Hulu was.

On the battlefield, the last scolding of the heavily injured knights of the Southern Army, the sound of the knights who were less injured struggling, and the sound of the neighing of the injured horses. The firelight reflected the blood-soaked battlefield, a chaotic scene.

In a sudden melee at night, although the southern army suffered more than 200 casualties, the Jurchen armored cavalry lost no less than 100 people. This kind of hard-fought battle, before Zong Han and Lou Mu's army rushed back, was exactly what Hulu wanted to avoid!

Standing at a slightly higher place on the edge of the battlefield, there were more than a dozen guards standing high and low in front of him, and their faces were the same as their bosses, so they couldn't see where to go.

Amidst the shouting and scolding, more than a dozen Jurchen armor soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield strode over with seven wounded people from the fallen Southern Army.

The injuries of the seven men ranged from severity to severity, all of them were covered in blood, their pockets were knocked off, and their hair was scattered. Some people hung their heads and seemed to be unconscious, while others were struggling and scolding. The Jurchen armor soldiers held everyone to the death, and kept hitting them with the back of their knives, and the heavier the knock, the higher the scolding!

Hulu glanced at the seven people with cold eyes. Pointing to six of the dirty armor. Unkempt beard. The knight of the Southern Army with a muddy face said: "These are all cut!" ”

The Jurchen armor was immediately ordered, dragged the six people away, pressed them to the ground, and slashed them with a sword.

The six people just laughed loudly: "Dog Tartar, you can't kill more than our Kansai men!" ”

In the blood splatter, the six heads fell to the ground, and their eyes were still open, dignified and vibrant.

In the end, there was only one armorer left. The clothes and armor on the body are cleaner, and the beard and hair are a little neater. It didn't look like Yang Keshi's troops went deep and finally rushed out of the Weishui River Valley.

The armorer was not small, but now he just hung his head, pretending to faint. Hulu gestured slightly, and a Jurchen armor soldier pulled his face up by the hair and slapped him over.

The corner of the soldier's mouth was suddenly cracked by this slap, and blood immediately flowed out. He barely opened his eyes, his lips squirmed a few times, and he seemed too weak to speak.

He doesn't know Chinese. Just motioned to a guard next to him, and the guard stepped forward. roared loudly in blunt words: "Which noble person is Nangou you escorting?" Say it and I'll spare you your life and let you go wherever you want! ”

The soldier looked at the Jurchen guard in a daze, and his lips squirmed lightly twice, as if he wanted to say something, and the Jurchen guard couldn't help but lean forward.

The negative armor soldier suddenly shouted: "I can't kill the Tartar head!" ”

In the roar, he screamed with both arms, and the force rose from the root of the mountain, and in a flash, the two Jurchen armorers who were holding him to death could no longer hold on, allowing him to break free!

Between the lightning and flint, this negative wound armor soldier didn't have time to snatch the blade, he just took a straight step, pointed out with a single fist, his knuckles bulged, shaped like phoenix eyes, and hit the throat of the Jurchen guard who could speak Chinese in front of him!

There was a crisp sound, and the Jurchen guard's Adam's apple was shattered, but he just covered his throat, and he couldn't breathe in a breath of air anymore, and his face turned purple in a blink of an eye, and he saw that he was suffocating to death like this!

And the last two Jurchen armor soldiers also reacted very quickly, and once they were freed, they immediately stabbed two long knives straight into the vital part of their backs, and stirred again. This Xiao Yan's personal guard, who was born in Yan Wangzhi, could only widen his eyes and look at Yan Yulu deadly, and there was no more sound.

From the beginning to the end, he never let out a scream of pain!

Hulu waved his hand hatefully: "Drag it away, chop it up!" ”

Several of the Jurchen guards snatched the guy whose Adam's apple had been shattered, and just shook their heads at Hulu. Before he could say anything, he suddenly saw the fire of the Song army's camp in the distance disturbing again.

He could no longer care whether his guards were alive or dead, so he beckoned his mount to come, turned over his horse, and galloped forward. The guards hurriedly got on their horses and followed, and hugged Hulu until they approached the southern army camp, but they grabbed the reins of Hulu and asked him not to get close to the range of the southern army's bow and crossbow.

In the southern military camp, groups of cavalry troops drove out again, opened the formation, and opened the warning curtain, but they did not come forward. Behind each cavalry, there is a team of crossbowmen to cover, and they cooperate with each other, so that the conflict between the troops of the Zarus cannot be stopped.

And there are at least one or two thousand infantry troops, who are raising fire and marching towards the way they came, and it is actually going in the direction of the Weishui River Valley! And these horses are also covered by a small number of cavalry.

More of the Southern Army's cavalry were arrayed in the battalion, and the sound of orders was endless. And the leading cavalry has already driven out, covering the direction of the main force's march, but it is pointing to the north!

The whole army came to life at once. Although looking at the array posture they put on, it is to alternate cover each other and move slowly, although it is steady, but the speed is not much faster.

But the direction they went was north!

These southern armies are going north! And the army of Lou Room and Zong Han has not yet rushed back! The flying kite castle in the north, I don't know if it's in my own hands!

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat oozed out of his back.

Tens of thousands of southern troops were defeated and buried in the Weishui River Valley, normally speaking, even if these more than 10,000 defeated troops escaped to the north, they don't know how many percent they could escape. The victory can be said to have been laid, and the escape of thousands has nothing to do with the overall situation. But after this night, I don't know why I have a sense of foreboding.

Let this southern army escape, and the Jurchen West Road army, the victory that has been laid by the current hard work may be crumbling!

Hulu suddenly shouted: "Order all departments, bite this southern army to the death!" If you can drag them one mile less, it will be one mile! No matter what, we have to wait until Lou Mu and Zong Han's army returns! ”

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

In the Flying Kite Fort, the fire is still lit up by candlelight.

The building in the castle that was burned. I really can't put out the fire. There was just a foul smell in the air.

Flying Kite Castle. Less than a Jurchen armor of Puliyan. Almost all of them died in the fire. And those miscellaneous beards, nearly half of them were killed and wounded, some escaped, and some knelt on the ground and begged, at this time, they were all dragged out by the Song army armor soldiers, pressed to kneel down on the inside of the fort wall, and cut off their heads one by one.

At this time, there must be no woman's kindness to leave such a source of turmoil in the fort. Look at the Han people who were imprisoned in the fort. I really can't show any sympathy for these Hulu!

In the midst of Hu Yu's crying and scolding, a headless corpse fell to the ground, covered with blood.

And the rescued Han people, at this time, surrounded the bonfire, looking around in confusion and anxiety. The Song soldiers distributed food to them, and they grabbed it in their hands, still doubting and bewildered, and did not dare to swallow it. Some people were stunned for a while, and seemed to realize that their homes had been solved, and they immediately burst into tears.

After a bitter cry. The people flocked to the headless corpses of the bearded beards—the Jurchen tartars were all burned to ashes——, picking up stones and smashing them indiscriminately. Crying and scolding. In a short time, these dozens of miscellaneous corpses will be smashed into flesh!

And the Song army armor was just vented by the people, and his family was just busy doing various affairs to consolidate the defense of Flying Kite Fort.

The most important thing is, of course, to grab the reserves in the fort, and tens of thousands of defeated troops rushed out of the Weishui River Valley, and there was not much baggage. With the arrows and crossbows, they can't even support a complete battle.

There is no doubt that the Flying Kite Fort is a key point, and it will be held for as long as possible to cover the passage of the army and finally cross the Lanshui. Fighting in battle, especially in defensive battles, bows and crossbows first, what kind of battle do you fight without arrows and arrows?

Fortunately, the Flying Kite Fort has always been a pass, and a large amount of military equipment has to be allocated every year according to the system. Although there is a lot of drifting, there is also a lot of loss over the years. However, the library was still piled up, and after the Jurchen Tartars snatched the Flying Kite Fort, they didn't bother to clean it up. Now they are all back in the hands of the Song army.

One by one, the crossbow machines were moved out, and the manpower was dispatched to quickly pick up the points that could be used. Bundles of arrows and arrows were brought out and hurriedly transported to the fort wall.

And the three abandoned military villages at the foot of the mountain were also taken down by the remaining more than 200 people and horses on standby at this time. Now they are also hurriedly deploying manpower to take over the defense of the village. Fortunately, the Jurchen Tartars also spent effort on the defense of the village, although it is not perfect, but it can be used to defend it!

With so many things to do, the Song Junjian, who came to attack and fought another battle to seize the fort, was so tired that he could barely straighten his waist. And Wei Dagong patrolled back and forth and stared at all of them, and no one could hide and be lazy. Everyone is just hoping that they can finish this sooner, and before the arrival of the army, everyone can sleep peacefully in the fort, as long as they can close their eyes. It's a hundred times stronger than eating wine with a powder head in the Kansai Washer!

But Wei Dagong didn't see any lack of energy. For a while, he patrolled the fort, and then he went to the village at the foot of the mountain to direct the arrangement, and finally turned back up the mountain, climbed the fort wall and looked westward, and then continued to carry a few bundles of arrows.

I saw the time pass quickly, and it was the darkest hour before dawn. Even the fire in the fort gradually lowered, barely illuminating a radius of a few feet. The rescued people, tired and excited, also fell asleep around the campfire. As for the Song soldiers, they were already so tired that they were still numbly walking around the castle like a wandering spirit.

Wei Dagong walked up to the fortress wall again, and looked around at the darkness. The insects and birds in the mountains seemed to be quiet at this moment.

A military general followed, and this general also took the initiative to ask for his life in front of Xiao Yan and came to adventure with Wei Dagong all the way. Although I didn't know each other very well before, I have now had a lifelong friendship.

The general's eyes were also red, his cheekbones were high, and his body seemed to be falling apart. walked up to Wei Dagong and smiled at him: "General Wei, do you want the sons and daughters to take a break in shifts?" Take out the rest of Yan Yanjun and Yang Keshi, and then grab the Flying Kite Fort, General Wei, your merits are already exhausted, so you don't need to be so tight. Everything we can do has been done, so let's see how quickly Yang Keshi comes............"

On the castle wall, the firelight reflected Wei Dagong's figure in a silhouette. Wei Dagong pressed the half-decayed battlement, and was silent for a while, before he said sullenly: "I'm afraid that Yang Keshi will be reluctant to go north and lose thousands of people's lives, but he is desperately trying to go east and join the Yan King............ Where is this time! But I don't know who it is, I can say that Yang Keshi can move him and let him go north earlier, otherwise it will be too late! ”

The general was startled and was about to speak, when suddenly several sounds of breaking the sky sounded in front of him!

In the darkness dozens of steps away, I don't know how many strong bows there were, and they suddenly shot at Wei Dagong and that general!

Wei Dagong suddenly turned sideways, and the feather arrow swept through his cheek, suddenly bringing out a bloody mark. And the general next to him was hit by an arrow in the front door, without saying a word, and fell down the fortress wall backwards!

In the darkness before dawn, there was a sudden sound of dense strings, and rows of arrows were fired towards the castle wall illuminated by the firelight!

The question of when Yang Keshi went north was thrown out of the clouds by Wei Dagong at this moment.

The Jurchen Tartars of the West have rushed back! It's also concocted in the same way, sneaking to attack the Flying Kite Castle! (To be continued......)
