Chapter 886 Wild Beast (Part 2)
Chapter 944: Crazy Beast (Central)
The weather is cloudy and dark, and the rain is drizzling, and curtains are woven under the eaves.
In the courtyard of Zizhou Operations Command, the meeting was already on hold shortly after it rained, and some necessary information were sent out one after another. By the morning, the emergency response came to an end. Next, we had to wait until the front line news came back before further allocation could be made.
Back in the office room, after a short period of free time, Juan'er brought hot water and shaved Ning Yi's beard under his jaw with a blade. Ning Yi sat at the table, tapping his fingers on the table, tilting his chin, and his eyes fell into the hazy sky outside the window.
"There are a few days left to go... This year will never be over."
"Don't move."
Juan'er concentrated on her heart and pressed her fingers on his neck. Ning Yi stopped talking. The room was quiet for a moment, and the sound of rain outside was still ringing. After a while, someone came to report that Olili in the direction of Yushui River had taken advantage of the rain.
"The news came at this time, indicating that Olili had already started mobilizing when it rained in the early morning." The division commander Han Jing came in from outside and also received the message, "These Jurchens seem to be addicted to fighting in the rain."
"It's not surprising that Elili is known for his decisive and bravery in the Jurchen army." Ning Yi said, "At this time, Huang Ming's side probably had already started fighting."
"Like you said, Balisu is a psychopath."
"If we change this way, we can't make a living. This is also a kind of psychological warfare." Ning Yi talked to him for a few words, picked up the straw raincoat in the room, "I'm going to go to the city wall, are you going?"
"Okay." Han Jing nodded.
Juan'er, who was standing beside him, picked up two umbrellas in the room, Ning Yi waved his hand: "No umbrellas, Juan'er, you are here. If you have important information, please go to the city wall and ask me to come back."
He put on a straw raincoat and walked out of the room. He exhaled clearly white air. When he reached into the rain, he felt a cold feeling soaked in. Ning Yi looked at Han Jing next to him: "There is a way of performing, you can think of more details. The front line is fighting in this environment. After half a night of meeting, I feel dizzy and I will wake up my mind."
Han Jing also put on a straw raincoat, and the group walked into the rain, passed through the courtyard, and walked on the street. The city wall of Zizhou stood not far away, with most of the nearby places for troops stationed, and the guard posts on the road were in a good mood. Han Jing looked at the gray rain curtain: "Qu Zhengyan and Chen Tian have fought again."
Ning Yi smiled and said, "How did you know? Have you seen them?"
"Last night, people were in a hurry to transfer their hands, and a group of people borrowed from Post 12. I guess they were them."
"The plan was put up half a month ago. I don't know when it will be launched. But it's not surprising." Ning Yi smiled bitterly, "These two traitors... Qu Zhengyan rushed around with five hundred people, and then said to him, hoping that he would not follow him this time."
"It shouldn't be, but I guess he went to Yushui Creek. He smashed seven inches in front and bit the snake's head here."
"He has signed up for Olili, and he went to the other person last time to make a fuss."
In the rain, the two of them whispered.
In the past month, the front line has been in a state of anxiety, and the back and forth is not just a hedge on the main road. Huangming County seems to be busy changing the line, and privately pulling out a few tunnels to try to bypass the county town or simply dig a wall. As for the rugged ridges near Huangming County, the Jurchen side also sent a suicide squad to climb, trying to detour into the city.
The battle situation in Yushui River was even more changeable. In the mountains extending back to the battlefield, the scouts and special combat troops of the Chinese army gathered in the mountains several times, trying to get close to the rear path of the Jurchens and launch a strong attack. Of course, several troops of the Jurchens also crossed the mountains and appeared behind the Chinese army's defense line. Such surprise attacks each had their own achievements, but in general, the Chinese army responded quickly and the Jurchens' defense was not weak. In the end, they both caused chaos and losses to the other side, but did not play a decisive role.
At this moment, most of the commanding generals who could appear here are the most outstanding talents in the world. Qu Zhengyan's use of troops is like magic, walking tightropes everywhere but not capsizing. Chen Tian and others have amazing execution ability. Most of the soldiers in the Chinese army are already the elite of the world. To be more important, Ning Yi has killed the emperor. But the opposite Zong Han, Xiyin, Balisu, Olili, Yuyu and others have already defeated several countries. No one will be much better than anyone else in the confrontation between top people.
Before achieving decisive results, such a confrontation will only take place again and again. In order to execute the order quickly, Ning Yi did not interfere with the command on any local battlefield. At this time, the raid team arranged by Qu Zhengyan might have been passing through the rugged forests under the dark sky. The hunters under Yu Yu, the general of the Jurchen side, would not sit idly by and watch the opportunity to flow on such a rainy day. Not only the artillery was suppressed, but the hot air balloons that could have flown to high altitude to open observations had also lost their function.
Scouts will encounter the opponent's main force, and will fight more fiercely and difficultly, and will explode more frequently in such a sky.
Ning Yi and Han Jing walked towards the city wall. The rain soaked the steps of the ancient city wall. The flowing water gurgled down from the wall. The feeling in the straw raincoat became wet and cold, and all the breath was exhaled.
"Speaking of this, it hasn't snowed yet."
"If I were in Qingmuzhai, the mountain would have been closed two months earlier. The weather was getting better, and I was a little uncomfortable."
"This year is not New Year, do you mean that I have New Year's Eve?"
"As long as I can make the Jurchens sad, I will be a good year everywhere."
"...Hey, this sentence is very good. I asked the propaganda team to write it on the wall..."
Stepping onto the city wall, Ning Yi reached out and followed the falling water droplets. Looking up, the hazy clouds pressed against the foothills and extended into the distance to the view. The sky and the earth were wide but low, like a sea rolling with hurricanes, which was placed in front of people.
Ning Yi imagined the biting coldness on the front line. The soldiers were fighting in such a coldness.
Such a battle may not have any breakthrough results. After a month and a half of formal combat, the Chinese army resisted the Jurchen attacks one after another, causing huge casualties to the other side. But overall, the Chinese army's combat losses were not optimistic, with more than 8,000 casualties gradually approaching the reduction of a division.
This is not a battle between a native chicken and a tile dog. There is no advantage to rolling the bead curtain. If both sides are mentally prepared enough, they can only have rounds of high-intensity and boring changes in the early stage. In such an offensive and defensive rhythm, each other adopts various tricks, and perhaps a flaw will be revealed at a certain moment. If not, it may even be possible to change to a single side and collapse completely.
The crazy attack of Balisu in Huangming County was, on the one hand, because the trick was indeed being implemented, but it was ineffective. On the other hand, it was also quietly impacting the other party's psychological bottom line: "I am a madman, I will exchange it with you until the end." He was an excellent gambler with expressionless face. For nearly two months, his tactics have been continuously optimized, but the policy has almost no change. He exchanged 4,000 Pang Lu'an with huge casualties, and is still continuing to exchange it.
Ning Yi was also continuing to change quietly.
That's how it is. Whoever is anxious will have the first flaw.
Han Jing walked beside the city wall, his hands slamming the bluestone female wall, and the water splashed in the haze. Ning Yi felt the rain, looking at the sky from afar, without saying a word.
However, in the evening, unexpected news came from Yingzui Rock.
******************
Rainwater Creek, one round after another, was repelled on the ramp near Hawkeye Rock.
Yingzui Rock is one of the narrow passages near Yushui Creek, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in more than a month, it has experienced several rounds of raids and charges.
The cost-effectiveness of attacking this small position is not high. If it can be opened, it is of course high. However, the main reason is that it is not the most ideal attack location. The path ahead of it is not spacious. It may also be intercepted by one of the Chinese military positions during the process of entering.
Only when the front-line attack becomes saturated will the Jurchens launch a fast and fierce raid on the Eagle-billed Rock. If the breakthrough fails, they usually have to retreat quickly.
But Eagle Beak Rock also has its importance. In front of it is a funnel-shaped slope. The Jurchens came down from above and entered the narrow path and valley of the funnel. The spacious funnel mouth outside is not suitable for building defense. After the enemy enters the narrow path formed by Eagle Beak Rock and nearby rock walls, they enter a gourd-shaped open land, and then face the positions of the Chinese army.
The mountain road behind this position does not intersect much with the complex terrain of the Yushui Creek area. That is to say, once the Yingzui Rock is broken through, it will be difficult for the reinforcements of Yushui Creek to rescue in a short time, and the Yushui Creek position will be completely surrounded by the Jurchens who have broken here.
If the Chinese army gathers heavy troops here, the Jurchens can ignore this side at all. If the Jurchens launch a strong attack on this side, they may be surrounded and killed in this valley if they are fruitless. This seemingly important and useless place is actually a bit embarrassing for both sides.
Early in the morning of December 19th, the Jurchens launched a full-scale attack on Yushuixi. At Chen, Yingzui Rock took the first battle.
The attack that could not be called crazy but was quite powerful lasted for nearly two hours. As soon as noon arrived, an astonishing round of attack suddenly appeared on the front line of the battle. It was a team of storm teams with seemingly ordinary combat qualities but extremely sophisticated. Before they got close, Mao Yishan noticed something was wrong. He ran up the hillside, raised his telescope, and was already summoning the reserve team: "The second company pressed up, there was a problem on the left!"
The pressure on the left front suddenly increased, and some Jurchen soldiers rushed to the ramp that was almost filled with corpses and sacks. Under the battle robe, there were scales and armor, and guns surged from behind.
"Grenade"
Someone shouted, and the soldiers threw the grenades first, and two of the more than ten exploded, but the power was not too great. The Chinese soldiers retreated slightly and formed a shield formation and collided with them!
The place where Mao Yishan stood was not far from the engagement place. There seemed to be arrows and crossbows flying over in the rain. He was weak and weak, holding the telescope unmoved. Not far away, another observer ran over: "Royal, leader, look over there, that..."
The two of them looked in the same direction, behind the dark military formation on the other end of the valley, someone was also holding a telescope and watching here.
"Is that..." the observer expressed his guess.
Mao Yishan put down his telescope, strode down from the slope, and waved his palm: "Order! The whole group obeyed the order."
At the same time, the entire Yushui River battlefield outside was in a white-hot attack and defense. When the news that the No. 2 position outside Yingzui Rock was almost attacked and broken through by the Jurchens, Qu Zhengyan, who was discussing the battle with Yu Zhongdao at the command post, frowned slightly, and he thought of something. But in fact, he made many plans on the entire battlefield. In the ever-changing battle, Qu Zhengyan could not get all accurate information. At this moment, he was not able to determine the direction of the entire situation.
Many messages can only be fully presented to everyone during the review process later.
...
The north wind was sobbing above the Eagle Beak Rock, and the weather at noon was as hazy as evening, and the rain washed the valley from every direction. Mao Yishan mobilized the entire regiment to have 813 soldiers at this time, and four soldiers in charge of special operations were summoned at the same time.
"Here is Olili." He briefly explained everything to the four soldiers.
"According to the scheduled plan, two people will go first, and two people will prepare." Mao Yishan pointed to the giant eagle beak rock at the entrance of the valley, pointing directly to the clouds. The wind and rain were swirling up. "It may not be possible to come back after it has passed. Is your boss reliable? I don't know if you go?"
"Captain Xu has been exploding the mountain for a year," said one of them.
"We are preparing for today." Another person said.
"Then go." Mao Yishan waved his hand, and then he walked into his brothers: "Everyone is ready"
Mao Yishan shouted: "It's time to serve! The food is here."
At noon on that day, Olili led his personal soldiers to resolutely and decisively join the attack of Yingzui Rock. In order not to alert the snake, he did not even shoot his own flag. At this moment, the sheds and other objects on the front positions of the Chinese army had long been destroyed, and the threat of artillery fire was to the lowest point. Most of the walls that were originally used as fortifications had been destroyed and filled. What the Chinese army occupied was only a cheap price for ups and downs.
The blood in Olili's heart was boiling.
Mao Yishan's heart was also filled with passion.
Two figures walked along the rugged mountain walls towards the Eagle-billed Rock. At some point, Olili discovered this scene.
Several Jurchen scouts who were good at climbing also rushed to the mountain wall.
The structure of Eagle-billed Rock has been studied many times by the explosive masters in the Chinese army. Theoretically, a series of blasting objects that can be waterproof have long been placed in various cracks on the rock wall. But at this moment, no one knows whether this plan can be realized as expected. Because when planning and communication were made, the technicians of the Fourth Division were a bit conservative and did not sound reliable.
The fight was surging ahead, Mao Yishan shook the steel knife in his hand, his eyes were quiet, and he spit out long white vapor in the rain, making simple arrangements calmly.
But even if the plan of taking tricks cannot be realized, he will not be shaken in his heart. Over the long river of time and through rounds of battle tests, the soldiers who came out of Xia Village were now able to face any malicious rage.
The fierce Jurchen elite came like a tide. He bent down slightly and made a calm posture like a mountain.
The rain was flying, and the wind was roaring.
Steel and steel collided together
Well, it's the end of the month.
No money to use it.
Double Eleven is coming soon.
The game is about to get a little bit.

Prepare to have a baby.
Kidnapped...wait.
