Chapter 814 Sound, Sound, Slow (2)
The night was quiet, and in Linzhou City, Xu Chun and his men walked through the streets where soldiers were occasionally on duty and headed towards the gate to the southwest of the city.
As a general who was once trusted by Tian Shi, Xu Chunyi, who came from a noble family, was upright and brave in fighting. He was a companion worth relying on the battlefield.
Today, the Jurchens attacked the city. Although the main pressure was mostly borne by the Chinese army, the soldiers under Xu Chunyi still blocked a lot of offensive pressure. Especially on the west and south, the Jurchens once launched a surprise attack to climb the city. Xu Chunyi personally led the elite troops to regain the city wall. His bravery running on the city wall was recognized by many Chinese soldiers.
During the day, the Jurchens attacked one after another, and the Chinese army had only 8,000 people. Although they retained some of their remaining strength as much as possible, all the soldiers had actually walked on the city wall for one or two rounds. At night, the living forces in the Xu army were more suitable for duty. Therefore, although there were night attendants of the Chinese army in most key areas on the city, the Xu army also took on some responsibility for the wall section.
This is the most exhausting time for everyone. Xu Chunyi is concerned about the city defense situation so as not to be exploited by the Jurchens. When the soldiers who met by chance along the way were mostly cheered up and saluted, most of them were honored to follow such a responsible general.
As soon as he reached the city gate, Xu Chunyi glanced at the city tower over there, and then turned into the nearby yard with his confidant...
Yan Qing hid in the darkness, and behind him, there were people coming one after another. After a while, a black figure poked out his head and made a gesture on the side of the courtyard where Xu Chunyi and others entered.
Someone sighed softly beside Yan Qing...
...
Outside the city, the huge military camp had begun to rest. In the Han army camp behind, soldiers gathered quietly in the darkness.
In the camp, Shen Wenjin was wearing armor, picked up a steel knife, and told the whole story to the crowd of confidants in the tent.
"...Wolves eat meat and dogs eat shit. Although they followed the Jurchens, I think everyone is asking for more than just survival. The current wealth, if you hold on, you will eat meat. If you can't, the Jurchens look down on us!"
Everyone nodded. When this chaotic world was just asking for a living, everyone would not have the life of their lives in the day. The martial arts energy was exhausted, and they had no choice but to live well. The people around them could only follow the Jurchens and fight the world. Everyone came out with their own weapons.
When the night was darkest, Shen Wenjin led his elite troops to quietly leave the camp. They circled a little, then walked through the battlefield blocked by a hill, and arrived at the city gate in the southwest of Linzhou.
A small group of people first moved forward, and then the city gate quietly opened. The small group went in to check the situation, then waved and summoned more than 2,000 people into the city. Under the cover of the night, these soldiers entered the city one after another. Then, with the cooperation of the soldiers under Xu Chunyi, they quickly occupied the city gate and then went into the city.
In the real female camp, the messenger passed through the camp and handed over the message of the surprise soldiers entering the city. The messenger read it silently without saying a word.
The fire in the camp was dim, and all the soldiers seemed to have fallen asleep, with only patrol figures passing by.
Occasionally, a few figures passed through the camp tent silently at the southwest end of the camp. They entered a tent and left calmly for a moment.
The Jurchen soldiers in the tent opened their eyes. During the fierce attack from day to midnight, more than 30,000 Jurchen elites took turns to fight, but thousands of live powers were left behind. At this time, they put on their clothes and armor, and kept their swords away. They were waiting for the sword to go.
...
The sky was dim. Among the woods several miles away from Linzhou City, Zhu Biao bit the dry food that was almost frozen into ice in his hand, and passed through the group of soldiers who squatted here for the last rest.
"Eat something, don't rest next...Eat something, don't rest next next..."
He whispered this to every soldier. In the crowd, several leather bags were passed one by one. It was to let the scouts who arrived nearby first, warm up the spirits without disturbing anyone as much as possible.
There was not much wine, and everyone took two sips.
Then, start the journey...
...
In Linzhou City.
Arranged with cautious arrays and walking through the dim streets and alleys, Shen Wenjin saw the general who was waving carefully to them in the corner of the street in front.
Xu Chunyi.
Shen Wenjin sighed in his heart. Before this, the two had met several times. If Tian Shi had not died suddenly, Xu Chunyi and the Xu family behind him would probably not have surrendered to the Jurchens in this battle.
And in such a sigh, what he really felt was the power of the Jurchens, as well as the power of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin behind this. The war in the second half of last year looked ordinary. While the Jurchens pushed the front south, Jin King Tian Shi also firmly showed his prestige.
Who knew that an assassination at the beginning of the year instantly defeated the condensed prestige, and then the Jin area split and eliminated and beaten. The magic line quickly went south to take the black flag. When the 30,000 Jurchens faced 10,000 black flags, and Xu Chunyi, who had already contacted the God of Grain, was surrendered. The whole situation was linked and we had to do our best to achieve our goal.
After careful calculation, there are millions of rebellious troops in the entire Jin area, nearly ten million people, and there are many rugged and difficult mountain roads. If you really want to take them head-on, it will be no surprise that you will be dragged down for half a year. However, the immediate solution is only half a month, and with the failure of the resistance in the Jin area, the Chejian is ahead, and the entire Central Plains will probably be difficult to resist as large as this.
As a Han Chinese, what he saw was the fall of the afterglow of the Han family.
He can only make such a choice.
Shen Wenjin kept cautious and asked the forwards of the queue to go to Xu Chunyi. He walked slowly behind him. At some point, a blue brick was loosening on the road. He shook his feet and took two steps. Shen Wenjin realized something and looked back.
In the darkness, the ground was not clear, but the confidant general who followed one side realized his doubts and began to check the road. After only a moment, the confidant general said: "The road is not right... it has been turned over..."
Shen Wenjin stepped back, and there were voices in the darkness on the side.
"Don't move!" the man said, "Walk again... it will be very moving..."
In front of the street, Xu Chunyi looked here helplessly. Behind him, there was a muzzle being pushed out. There was movement in the courtyards around the street. A figure walked up to the roof and inserted a flag, which was black.
Shen Wenjin raised his hand and touched his helmet, knowing that he was ambushed. But there was no way. If the Jurchens were protected by the world and ruled the world, this black flag was the great devil who could also make everyone suffer from life and death.
For a moment, he didn't know what choice to make.
...
At the southwest of the city, Chen Qi stood in the cold wind, pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife, looking at the soldiers hiding under the female wall to keep warm not far away.
He is a confidant under Shen Wenjin, with a strong martial arts skills and a cruel and ruthless heart. He was originally in the army of King Jin, and he could not make a fortune. He surrendered to the Jurchens. Shen Wenjin wanted to make some fame and fortune in front of the Jurchens, and the atmosphere in the army also changed. Fierce people like Chen Qi were highly valued.
Originally, when he was under the King of Jin, the army under Shen Wenjin had a low morale and no reputation. When he surrendered to the Jurchens, everyone pointed to the performance. During this period, they had achieved many outstanding results. Everyone realized that they were already a strong army. "Heroes" like Chen Qi had subconsciously begun to despise those lazy soldiers.
The soldiers who were afraid of wind and cold were naturally under Xu Chunyi's command. When Shen Wenjin entered the city, nearly half of them were left to help guard the city gate. Xu Chunyi's command did not leave here - mainly because he was afraid that such mobilization would alarm the black flag in the city - so now, everyone, who are in me and I, are gathered by the city gate, on the top of the city, monitoring each other, but are also waiting for the message of taking action inside and outside the city to come.
Xu Chun, the generals under Xu Chun who were in charge of garrisoning the city came to this side, and the soldiers shrank and stood up. The general met Chen Qi: "It's ready, it's almost done." Chen Qi glanced at him, too lazy to pay attention to him. The general asked for trouble to leave. The soldiers on the other side, who were air-conditioning, didn't know what they said to each other and came to this side.
Chen Qi pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and the few people who walked over were hesitant. Only the leader had a smooth expression like a gangster. He picked up his chin: "Brothers have a good name, they are quite talented."
"What are you doing?" Chen Qi looked unkind.
"No other meaning." Seeing Chen Qi keeping people thousands of miles away, the man took a step back, "I just want to remind you that our boss can hold grudges."
"snort!"
"I know you're not afraid." These soldiers came here probably to make friends. Seeing that Chen Qi was not good, the leader put his hand on the female wall and started to look at the scenery, muttering: "Damn, I'm standing here during the day, I don't dare to show off now... Well, anyway, the world of Jurchens will be over in the future... Okay, everyone is brothers, the Jurchens will win the world, and we Han people are not allowed to join us. I know that you have high martial arts skills and have killed many people. Didn't I also follow the master of the Imperial Boxing Gym back then..."
Chen Qi then turned his head to look at the soldier. Although he was smooth in his expression, his figure seemed to have been practicing martial arts: "Oh, Imperial Boxing Gym? Who?"
"Who are you?" the other party replied.
"Hmph, a certain surname is Chen, Chen Qi." He said, "Tell me about you."
"I..." The man just spoke, and the movement suddenly came!
Inside the city on one side of the vision, the explosion rays burst out, and fireworks rose into the night sky—
...
At the Jurchen camp, the sword quickly put down the telescope.
...
The earth started to shake.
...
In the dim streets and alleys, Shen Wenjin shouted and ran away. Behind him, the flames rose from the soil!
...
Chen Qi turned around and looked at the direction of the change in the city. He took a step and suddenly realized that the soldiers under Xu Chunyi's command were too close. His companions pressed the hilt of the knife and their sword lights were slashed in front of them.
Warm and sticky blood sprinkled on Chen Qi's face.
He shouted suddenly, and the sword light rose against the wind, and then slashed down suddenly.
With a bang, the blade was held and the tiger's mouth hurt.
In front of his vision, the soldier's eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if in the blink of an eye, another person had changed in front of him, and there was only the cold cold of winter in his eyes.
Two shields pushed and smashed towards his face. Chen Qi's hand was stuck above him, and his body staggered back. Someone rushed out from the side, slashed the foot of a long knife, and a short spear was thrown into the air. It brushed over Chen Qi's side face and pierced into the neck of a companion behind him.
Shield, sword light, spear... In the blink of an eye, the few people in front seemed to turn into a huge wall of advancement. Chen Qi and others fell down quickly in a staggering retreat. Chen Qi fought hard and slashed it on the shield. Finally, the shield suddenly retreated. The soldiers who had talked to him were still in front of him. The eyes of both sides intertwined, and the other party's knife had already slashed over. Chen Qi raised his hand to meet him, with only half of his arm left. The steel knife in the hand of another soldier slashed his neck.
When the blood sprayed out, Chen Qi seemed to be still confused about the fact that he had broken his hands. The city in his sight had turned into a sea of fighting.
...
In the night, the vibration from the earth faintly came, and the arrow exploded in the sky. There was no expression on Shu Liesu's face, and he stood up, and there were already Jurchen generals gathered around him.
"Chen Wenjin's three thousand people fell into the city. In order to survive, he would definitely fight to the death." His voice sounded, "How can you miss such a good opportunity!"
From beginning to end, 30,000 elite Jurchens attacked the city of 8,000 black flags. The only purpose was to win quickly. Yesterday's fierce attacks all day long had actually exerted all the offensive ability of the sequel. If you can break the city, it would be better. Even if you can't, you still have the option of sneak attack at night.
Xu Chunyi's support was still there if the sneak attack failed.
Even if Xu Chunyi in the city turns into a trap of the black flag, Shen Wenjin who entered the city will inevitably cause great damage to the defensive power in the city in order to protect himself.
"Transfer our military orders and the entire army launches a general attack."
The sword speed put on the helmet and put on the horse with a knife.
"It's today that you can destroy Linzhou City!"
...
It was already night and it was not dawn.
On the city tower north of Linzhou, Staff Li Nian held up a telescope and looked at the explosion rising in the city. Not long ago, Xu Chun's first attack on the Jurchens was confirmed, and the entire Staff had taken action as planned. He was initially responsible for the placement of artillery, landmines and many gunpowder in the city.
Finally, Wanyan Xiyin and other words...
He took a breath and looked at the telescope to the other side of the city wall. At this time, countless fires were igniting in the Jurchen camp.
The fireball thrown by the stone caster crossed the deepest night, just like the dawn that arrived early. The city wall shook. The Jurchen army carrying the ladder rushed towards the city wall with shouts and roars. This was the living force that the Jurchens had retained from the beginning, and now they are engaged in the battle as soon as possible.
On the city wall, the sound of cannons sounded.
The war horns rang out to the distance on both sides on the huge city wall.
On the east side of the city, there seemed to be an unexpected fight breaking out at this time. Perhaps the other people in the Jurchen were ready to surrender and began their dangerous attack.
At this time, a little passed a little after the third hour of Yin. When the night was at its deepest, the entire Linzhou City was suddenly awakened. The sudden waking movement almost surpassed the hustle and bustle of the day.
The Chinese army, Jurchens, those who resisted the Jin, those who surrendered the Jin... Ordinary battles to siege and defend the city, if they were not very different in strength, usually took a long time. However, the battle in Linzhou only lasted for two days. Everyone participating in the battle devoted all their strength to the dark night before dawn. Fighting inside the city, and then outside the city had woken up one after another, gathered, and rushed towards the tired city defense fiercely.
On the snowy field, Zhu Biao was walking forward quickly with a spear in his hand. Behind him, the figures of the three thousand Chinese troops spread in this dark and cold night. In front of them, the floating fires in Linzhou City had already vaguely seen...
