Chapter 39: Attacking Huining

In the deep darkness of the night, Liu Sheng, the former commander of the Great Song Forbidden Army, curled up in a dirty pit in despair, quietly waiting for a new day to come.

The bitter cold wind howled into the crevices of the humble shack, and half of his body froze cold; The frostbite and wounds all over the body are aching, as if to symbolize the passage of vitality.

It's so cold!

In the extreme cold, at first you could still feel the pain of ten thousand needles and stings, and soon it turned into the heart of insects and ants, and in the end, only the numbness of the walking corpse. It was as if the limbs no longer belonged to them, and it seemed difficult to move, while the mind floated in the void...... His neck was about to freeze stiff, and even looking up and looking out had become an extremely difficult movement. Through the deep night, Liu Sheng wanted to look into the distance, but the thick snow covered the vision and cut off the possibility of him fleeing alone.

-- At present, in the north of the country, it is the time when "thousands of people have disappeared and thousands of mountains and birds have flown away", and the vast snow has filled the ravines, wiped out the rivers and lakes, and made the roads full of traps. Walking on the snowfield at this time, it seems to be a vast land as smooth as a mirror on the surface, but if you are not careful, you will fall into a snow pit and fall into an ice cave. Once this situation occurs, even if the victim struggles to call for help, because there is no trace of people for hundreds of miles in the vast sea of snow, most of them can only lie in the place of distress, being cold, frozen to death, drowned, until they become a zombie, and no one knows.

Alas, what a regret for not being at the beginning! Even when he fought with Hu Lu and was hacked to death with a knife, it is better than the hardship of life and death now!

He struggled to clasp his arms, trying in vain to hold on to the last shred of warmth, while muttering silently in his heart.

-- In the autumn of last year, the Jin army tore up the alliance and broke through the pass and headed south. Guo Yaoshi, who was stationed in Yanjing, defected, making the northern gateway of the Great Song Dynasty open. The Bianliang court hastily assembled 30,000 Hebei forbidden troops to stop the enemy, but was defeated in a battle on the outskirts of Zhending Mansion. And Liu Sheng also surrendered and became a prisoner after this battle, first imprisoned in Yanjing for a while, and then escorted north to Huining to work for the Emperor of Jin.

This way to the north, it is really a thousand mountains and rivers, nine deaths and one life. The captives lacked food and clothing along the way, and were often beaten by the Jurchen guards, almost all the way to death, leaving countless corpses along the way. By the time they had struggled to Hoeryong, the old and infirm had already been eliminated, and those with strong resistance were either dead or fleeing, leaving only a group of obedient people whose will to resist had been completely destroyed and who had completely succumbed to the fate of slaves.

Liu Sheng struggled in Huining for several months in this way, cutting wood, quarrying stones, laying foundations, and repairing palaces for the Jin Emperor...... There are many and dangerous jobs, but the food can never fill his belly, but with his physical strength, Liu Sheng is still struggling to persevere.

Then, the real nightmare finally came - winter is coming!

Liu Sheng never thought that the weather could be so cold that his fingers and toes would be frozen black if he was not careful, and even peeing could freeze into an icicle! Lacking food and clothing, the Song people could not adapt to such extreme cold, and hundreds of them froze to death, starved to death, or contracted the plague, and were then dragged by the Jurchens into the woods to feed the wolves...... Seeing the deaths of his former colleagues and friends, Liu Sheng's heart was full of despair and fear.

Because the weather was too cold, the land was frozen so hard that no matter how many hoes were broken, they could not dig it, and the Jurchens finally kindly ordered the work to be stopped. But this was by no means a leisurely New Year's holiday - lacking food for the stomach, no campfire for warmth, and each slave had to huddle in a rudimentary shack and mud pit, trying to dissipate his body as slowly as possible, quietly waiting for spring or death.

In a daze, the outside of the shack lit up again. Liu Sheng sighed, knowing that he had finally survived another day.

He tried to get up and move outside so that his limbs would not freeze and die, but this effort caused him a wave of dizziness.

In desperation, Liu Sheng had no choice but to climb out with his hands and feet, looked at the rising sun in confusion for a while, and then wondered if he would take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the lax management during the Chinese New Year to go around the nearby woods to see if he could find some grass seeds or pine cones to satisfy his hunger......

However, at this time, there was a sudden noisy noise on the side of the Tiger Water not far away, which made him can't help but turn his head to look...... So, in the next moment, Liu Sheng, the former commander of the Great Song Forbidden Army, saw a scene that made him stunned:

A cavalry of the Song army with a bright red banner swept through the wilderness next to the slave camp like a lightning speed, and pounced on Huining City with great momentum!

Liu Sheng shook his head vigorously, rubbed his eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly, feeling that he must have seen it wrong, but when he raised his head again, he saw that more Song infantry had also crossed the ice surface of the tiger water, and rushed towards him with great momentum.

Oh my God? How could there be a forbidden army here? Am I dreaming?

The former commander of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army stood there at a loss, looking at the familiar military flag in disbelief, his mind full of confusion, unable to tell whether this was a dream or a reality. It wasn't until he finally recognized the figure of an acquaintance from the attacking Song army that he finally shouted at the top of his voice:

“…… Splash Han Five! Splash Han Five! I'm Liu Sheng! Do you still recognize me? How did you get here?! ”

Han Shizhong, who was urging his subordinates to besiege and kill the two Jurchen soldiers, heard the shout, turned his head in confusion, and saw a ragged, skinny, and dirty "wild man", screaming and jumping excitedly not far away...... The so-called things are people, squinting his eyes and looking carefully for a while, Han Shizhong recognized the unrecognizable other party: "...... You are...... Liu Laosi? It's only been two years since I saw you, how did you end up like this? ”

“…… Alas, it's hard to put into words! I didn't expect to meet Brother Xu here, and we are all still alive. ”

Liu Sheng cried with tears in his eyes, "...... If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have lowered it in the first place. Think about those good brothers, who did not die on the battlefield, but were starved to death and tortured to death, and died too unjustly one by one. There are also wives and children in Zhendingfu City, and I don't know what to do right now......"

After chattering a few words, Commander Liu couldn't help but cry. If it's a person who can talk, it's sure to coax the other person with good words at this time. But Han Shizhong, a rough man, obviously doesn't have this delicate mind. I saw that he hesitated for a moment, and then replied honestly: "...... In the autumn of this year, the Jin soldiers went south again, and slaughtered Zhending Mansion as soon as the war began, and there were not a few people escaping from the whole city, and they also asked Brother Liu to mourn by the way......"

Before his words fell, Liu Sheng's eyes darkened, his body weakened, and he staggered and fainted.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Just as Han Shizhong, who led the main force of the infantry, easily swept the slave camp in the suburbs, and staged a tragicomedy of "fellow villagers see old countrymen, tears in their eyes" with his former colleagues in the forbidden army, Yue Fei, who led a hundred cavalry into Huining City, encountered a lot of trouble.

--Indeed, after several hours of continuous smoking of the narcotic gas that enveloped the city, there was a dead silence in the early morning of the castle of Hoeryong. Yue Fei's cavalry did not encounter any obstacles, so they lightly passed through the narrow and messy streets, and then smashed open the palace gate with their joint efforts, and entered the palace of the Jin Kingdom.

At this time, the anesthetic gas that permeated the city of Huining had already drifted without a trace, but the effect of the medicine acting on the human body was far from dissipating - hearing the loud noise outside the palace gate, a few ignorant palace guards finally got up from the room, and out of the professional reaction of a soldier, they drew their waist knives, but they were trembling all over, and they couldn't even stand on their feet, and they had obviously completely lost their combat effectiveness......

As a result, the high-morale Song army quickly cut down these last resistors and began to sweep through the palace - the Dajin Empire at this time was only rudimentary, and the so-called imperial palace was not very large, and the scale may not be as large as the lavish estates of the Song Dynasty's wealthy and powerful people. Therefore, the hundred cavalry of the Yu Song army who poured into the palace quickly took control of the various portals in the palace. He forcibly woke up several palace maids with cold water and whips, forced them to identify the Jin Emperor with knives, and finally dragged out the bare-assed, unawake Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai from under a pile of unconscious naked women.

At this time, the raid on Huining had been completed, and all the Song soldiers were celebrating. Who knew that there was a huge noise outside, and a Song army climbed up the palace wall with a waist knife and looked out, and was suddenly shocked: I don't know when, a group of black and oppressive Jurchens appeared outside the palace wall, and the surging ones don't know how many, just like the angry waves crashing on the shore, swarming towards the palace like a tide!

The next moment, a sharp arrow whistled past, hitting the throat of the capital, and immediately made him fall headlong into the palace wall.

At the same time, countless disheveled Jurchens, men, women, and children, each holding their own weapons of various kinds, shouted and poured into the open palace gate, and engaged in a fierce fight with the undecided Song soldiers - the real battle had just begun......
