In the first year of Wu Zhenxing, the thirteenth year after Ning Yi killed the monarch, in the first month, the southwest became a pot of porridge.

In the middle and two decades, the Jianmen Pass was used as the boundary, and the southwest spent twenty days fighting for a long time; in the northeast, seventeen battles were fought in seven days.

At the end of January and early February, the information from the southwest was summarized and spread to Lin'an. At this time, the situation in the capital was tense due to the loss of Fuzhou. Of course, the most tense belonged to the Left Prime Minister Tieyan. After his cousin died and lost Fuzhou, his status in the court dropped sharply, such as Wu Qimei, Gan Fenglin, Li Shan and others. In addition, many of the military officials were mostly amazed for the fight between Xi Yin and Qin Shaoqian.

After Qin Shaoqian's leadership broke through more than ten lines of defense within seven days, he began to retreat. Xi Yin was calm in front of him. Although he organized seventeen troops to pounce on him one after another and was disbanded, his foundation was not hurt at all. In the eyes of everyone, a real master was born with a strong demeanor.

"... The so-called China Seventh Army led by Qin Shaoqian was nailed to the rear of the Jurchens, which originally played a deterrent role. With these 20,000 people on the front line, Zonghan's army must consider how to turn back in the future, so that they cannot do their best to attack, so they must leave some way out. The Black Flag Seventh Army will not move, and there will be a possibility of change. Once it moves, it will only be 20,000 people, but it will fall into the lower level, not the choice of the best."

"...It's a pity that the black flag on the southwest front, although commanded by Ning Yi, is actually not worthy of fame. After winning the battle at the end of the year, it was exhausted and was defeated on the fourth day of the first lunar month. Qin Shaoqian must have had a headache and had to attack forward. He was 20,000 people under him, and he was truly elite soldiers, and he was invincible to the Jurchen Man. He protected Bu Dagang, and the Jurchens could exceed 700,000. Unfortunately, Qin Shaoqian's front was not Yelu Yanxi of the past, but Xiyin who defeated the Yelu clan..."

"... With the same number of Han troops, more than ten lines of defense were set up in the rear and they went up again and again. Qin Shaoqian could not make the sound of rolling the bead curtain, but he made a concerted effort, and then he declined. He broke seventeen lines of defense at one time. Xi Yin closed the Han troops at hand, and maybe he could still form seventeen lines, twenty-seven defenses. What if he defeated with one blow? I'm afraid he would not have the strength to hold the knife..."

For a period of time, Lin'an was talking about this battle. Almost all the scholars in the teahouse could comment on this battle.

"...Xi Yin is extremely experienced in using troops, but Qin Shaoqian is really able to take it and put it down. He broke the seventeen lines of defense simply and slashed the camp back and continued to intimidate. His Seventh Army did not show his fear in front of Xi Yin, the hungry wolf. Instead, the combat power and threat of the army fell to the ground. Speaking of which, it is worthy of being the Qin family. If you don't show any signs, you will meet the opponents of Xi Yin. From what I see, Ning Yi's sign is the sign. His real strength is still the strength of the Qin family..."

"... It's just this temptation that I couldn't decide the winner. Qin Shaoqian walked freely and was determined to retreat. But according to the strategic theory, he hoped to attack the Jurchens' retreat to solve the danger on the front line, but his intention was still empty. He fought seventeen times within seven days, although he won consecutive victories, but he could not be harmed? Therefore, in this battle, the real winner was still Wanyan Xiyin who was waiting for his hard work. At this point, the Black Flag Army could only rely entirely on the so-called Fifth Army in the southwest. It's a pity that the Fifth Army commanded by Ning Yi is now retreating and defeating..."

Thousands of miles apart, sitting in the mountains and watching tiger fights can really give people the comfort of sitting in a warm room and watching people trembling on the road in heavy snow. Wu Qimei and others talked about the subtlety of this way of military use, either mixed with sighs or supplemented with sighs, and more or less the feeling of guiding the country and using the heaven and earth as the chessboard.

Of course, the reason why the battle between Qin Shaoqian and Xiyin was analyzed in such a detailed manner was because the entire southwest battle situation at Jianmen Pass was still in a fog. However, after the Jurchens broke through Huangming County, their troops began to press forward in Zizhou, and Ning Yi's defense line retreated, which was always an unquestionable general trend.

Three thousand miles apart, the people in Lin'an were unable to know what kind of quagmire the Jin** team in the southwest had fallen into.

Just after the Spring Festival, the Jurchens' breakthrough in Huangming County did indeed bring huge losses to the Chinese army.

If we count the number of personnel reductions in the Second Division of the Chinese Army defended Huang Ming in the past two months, the number has exceeded 4,000. However, just a crushing defeat and competition in the third and fourth grades of the Chinese Army, the number of sacrifices and missing people on the battlefield has reached more than 2,800.

Most of the terrifying number of personnel reductions originated from the unwilling struggle of the Second Division for Huangming County. For the sudden loss of Huangming County, the Chinese army lost not only a city wall, but also a large number of iron cannons and city-defense equipment that could not be withdrawn in time. This is one of the most important strategic resources at present. In order to have a possible counterattack, the explosives and other substances transported by the Chinese army to Huangming County were once increased.

The Chinese Army General Staff has been brewing the idea of ​​launching a counterattack in Huangming County or Yushuixi. The original project was to launch an attack around December 28, but on the 19th day, Yushuixi achieved results. Huangming County quickly withdrew its troops and returned to defend, and the idea of ​​launching a counterattack in Huangming County was once shelved.

If he really intends to launch a counterattack, the Second Division must cooperate with other troops. However, after the Fourth and Fifth Division won in Yushuixi, it is difficult to reduce its personnel and guard the wounded. Huangming County has to take the initiative to fight back, so it is a bit reluctant.

At night at the third day of the junior high school, the Jurchens broke through the city heading like a fury, and a fight started on the city wall. A large section of the city wall controlled by the Chinese army fired hundreds of cannons at one go. The artillery team threw all the accumulated gunpowder into a sea of ​​attacks, and even experienced several overheating of the gun barrel and blowing the chamber that affected their own people. However, this situation still failed to curb the situation on the battlefield that had become frantic in the night.

All night, the Chinese army fought and retreated in the small county town. The engineers dragged some of the iron cannons and supplies toward the rear of the county town. The squads on the battlefield charged countless times under the leadership of the cadre regiment. The Jurchens defended the results of the city under the strict order of Ba Lisu, but in the county town, waves of soldiers rushing in were almost beaten to death under the impact of the Chinese army.

The bodies were like mountains and blood flowed into rivers. Even the Khitans, Xi, and Liaodong troops, who were the main force of the Jin soldiers, were defeated in the city.

But the advantage of numbers finally overwhelmed the courage of the commanders and fighters of the Chinese army. Some Chinese army troops were divided and surrounded on their positions, fighting until late at night or even until dawn, but they gradually drowned in the blood flow of the battlefield. On some positions that could no longer be broken through, the soldiers detonated bomb shells and gunpowder, and burned the iron cannons around them.

By the early morning of the second day, the battle on the battlefield continued. Most of the Chinese troops gathered at one end of Huangming County to build positions were already wounded. Under the attack of the enemy, they could not retreat with their baggage. They persisted until around Si. Han Jing's pack horse team arrived at the battlefield. Only then did they begin to evacuate the wounded and cannons and leave along the mountain road in an orderly manner.

Ba Lisu was not prepared to end the results of this battle. By this time, the Chinese army had lost its advantage in the city defense in Huangming County. He gathered the elite troops in his hands, went on the battlefield repeatedly, and launched an attack on Han Jing. Han Jing set up a formation, defending from the afternoon of the fourth day of the lunar month to the day of the fifth day of the lunar month, and repelled the Jurchen attack several times. Then he saw that the Jurchens seemed to weaken the attack and began to evacuate.

His retreat had just begun, and the Jurchen troops came again. The first division's team fought and retreated between the mountain roads. After about three miles away from Huangming County, the mountain gradually widened. The Jurchen team bit from the rear, and was then cut off by Qu Zhengyan's troops who had come out of the mountain road. The 4th Division of the First Division cooperated and made dumplings for more than 500 elite Xi people chasing in front. More than 100 people were forced off the cliff by fierce attacks on the front, and more than 300 people surrendered. The troops in the rear finally retreated after the rescue was ineffective.

Balisu's pursuit on the fifth day of the first lunar month was only slightly stopped.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, with the cooperation of the scout team led by Yu Yu, Ba Lisu organized troops to chase forward again, and the huge trouble then appeared.

Extending from Jiange to Zizhou, Huangming County and Yushui River are two key obstacles. After passing these two locations, the mountains leading to Zizhou have been slightly smoother and there are more road options. But it does not mean that it has been a smooth river since then.

In fact, after several miles past Huangming County, although the mountain looks a little flat, the next step is a strange road for the Jurchens.

The rest of the scouts were exploring along the mountains, and soon they were troubled by landmines. This was a thunder formation that no one had ever touched since the war started. While some experienced scouts launched a new round of mine clearance, the scouts of the Chinese Army kept coming.

Relying on the thunder formation in the forest, the exchange rate of the scouts was further widened. With a little contact, Yu Yu had no choice but to choose a conservative combat attitude. He could only gather a large number of scouts and gradually explore along the surroundings of the main road.

There were no landmines on the main road. Balisu gathered several troops and cooperated with the scouts to advance. However, such a lineup could not stop Qu Zhengyan from leading the 4th Division to counterattack. The special combat squad of the Chinese army was walking through the forest like a ghost, and from time to time toward the Jurchen scouts or the Jurchen masters on the road, shooting crossbows or black guns.

These special operations forces were extremely arrogant at this time. They often approached quickly when the Jurchen scouts found roadside mines trying to eliminate or detonate them. Sometimes they were discovered by Hai Dongqing, and sometimes they were counterattacked, but it didn't matter. When they were counterattacked, they fled deeper into the mountains and forests. More landmines that had not been eliminated were buried on the route of escape. Once a small group of Jurchen troops left the team, the Chinese army's combat team would quickly pounce on them and eat the other party.

From the sixth day of the lunar month, the Jurchens never calmed down on the road ahead from Huangming County. The enemy advanced and we retreated, the enemy was tired and disturbed, and the enemy retreated and we chased. When the local area was finally fully taken advantage of the situation, Qu Zhengyan took the essence of this tactic to the extreme in front of the Jurchens.

The rest of the world was miserable. At the beginning of the war in the southwest, there were scouts in the forest, and there were scenes of clearing mines or even wading forward. At that time, he still had a huge number of people to press the front line. At this time, the number of scouts on Huang Ming's front line was no longer obvious. The other party was ready to wait for work. The price he had to pay for every step forward made him feel like a heart-wrenching pain.

But the army could not stop at this time.

In the battle in Huangming County, from the overall perspective, the Jurchens had already gained a certain advantage. This advantage is that the Chinese army's troops were tightened to the extreme, but the Jurchens still had a lot of vitality to be put into battle. From a large strategic perspective, multi-point attacks were the most profitable thing to break the Chinese army's line. The Chinese army had a good geographical advantage and had an advantage in combat. It didn't matter. Even if a few people changed one, they would collapse completely at some point.

While Huangming County was pushing forward, the battle of Yushuixi had also begun again. Zong Han hoped to use such a two-line battle to consume every spare part of the Chinese army on the battlefield.

In order to intimidate the rear route of Yushuixi, Balisu needs to let his soldiers master the road about fifteen miles ahead of Huangming County. On these fifteen miles of road, the Chinese army's advantage in defending and defending is no longer high. After all, the mountains are relatively easy to move, and places that cannot be opened can be bypassed at most, but only a wave of lightning can be taken but endured by the Chinese army on the road ahead. After all, it is a torment that must be overcome.

Of course, even if you know this truth, as a Jurchen, being ravaged by the enemy on the battlefield was the most frustrating battle in Yu Yu's life.

The constant Autumn Wind outside the main road is just an appetizer. Sometimes the Haidong Youth Club will find hundreds of scouts gathering in the rugged mountains, which makes the Jurchens extremely nervous. On the ninth day of the first lunar month, Qu Zhengyan led the team to interweave the Jurchens on the advancement. After finding that the other party had made a defense, he randomly fired a few arrows and ran away.

On the 11th day of the first lunar month, Xiao Ke, a Khitan, led more than 3,000 elite troops to try to launch a counterattack after discovering the traces of Qu Zhengyan's attack. Qu Zhengyan turned around and ran away when he saw something was wrong. Xiao Ke led the troops into the mountains. Although the thunder formations encountered were not dense, Qu Zhengyan led the 300 people to launch a meat-cut counterattack towards Xiao Ke's 3,000 people.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, he led his main force to attack the other side's wings of the team that was still unclear. He ate. Although Xiao Ke's troops were ten times more than Qu Zhengyan, they became chaotic soon after in the strange mountains. Xiao Ke relied on his courage to charge forward, and soon after, he was almost blown out by the black gun in the forest. After he woke up, he quickly retreated, but more than 3,000 casualties were more than 200, and all his aura was lost.

The subsequent attack originated from the 14th day of the first lunar month. Han general Liu Nianzhi led more than 4,000 elite troops along the mountain road and suddenly attacked on the road about seven miles away from Huangming County.

This time, Chen Tian, ​​the chief of staff of the Fourth Division, led by Chen Tian, ​​who also had more than 300 people. After the first wave of war, he did not choose to retreat, but launched a strong attack from the side of the mountain road. Liu Nianzhi's soldiers rushed up from the front and were bombarded by hundreds of grenades in three batches by Chinese soldiers. Six sniper rifles sounded in the mountains and forests at the same time. Han general Liu Nianzhi and the war horses under him were knocked down in a pool of blood. After killing Liu Nian, Chen Tian took the soldiers to retreat at full speed.

On the battlefield of Huangming County on the third day of the first lunar month, there were two main Han troops facing the surrender of the Chinese army and attacked the waters, one of which was led by Liu Nianzhi. They were the Han army that had been surrendered to the Jurchens for a long time in the Central Plains. They also participated in the battle of Xiao Canghe and resisted the Chinese army quite strongly. However, the Chinese army's beheading and strong attack on Liu Nianzhi also showed the vindictive temperament of the Chinese army inherited from Ning Yi in combat.

After Liu Nianzhi was sniped, another army led by Han general Sun Wang almost did not dare to leave Huangming County within a few days.

Wanfugang, more than ten miles away from Huangming County, the main vanguard sent by Balisu set up camp here with difficulty, but was attacked and harassed by the Fourth Division every day. By the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the camp had not been laid yet. Han Jing led the team of the First Division to pull the artillery removed from Huangming County and launched a frontal attack with great momentum.

At this time, the Jin troops arrived here were only more than 15,000. Han Jing and Qu Zhengyan mobilized almost more than 10,000 people. During the half-day battle, the camp was swept away by the Chinese army, and more than 10,000 people retreated to the nearby mountain.

After the Jurchen generals completely chose to conceal, it was not easy to kill them all. After destroying the camp and even scattered, the Chinese army did not choose to take further attacks on this day.

The harassment on the road continued for a while, and the Jurchens were also trying their best to familiarize themselves with and control the territory along the way. On the 20th day of the first lunar month, there was fog in the mountains, and there was a sound of fighting on the mountain road from Huangming County to Wanfugang. This time, Qu Zhengyan encountered unexpected enemies, and what was waiting in front of them was the white flag everywhere in the mountains.

The revenge army, led by Wanyan Loushi, merged with the direct army of Ci Busil, was led by Baoshan King Wanyan Xiebao, and arrived at the battlefield in advance. In the fog, they were waiting for the raid.

Qu Zhengyan directed the man to turn around and ran away, and the old scouts affiliated with Yanshan Guard chased after him from the rear.

On the road from Huangming County to Zizhou, fighting and slaughtering, ambushing and counterattacks were staged in the mountains and forests every day, with a large or small scale, but no matter what, the Jurchens continued to expand their control over the surrounding areas in the loss time and time again.

In the direction of Yushuixi, the wounded soldiers in the wounded camp had moved to the rear one after another, but Ning Ji, who was helping in the camp, refused to follow and retreat. As an outstanding member of the military medical team, he was preparing to leave with the main force on the front line. Hongti could not convince him for a while.

When the letter reporting this was circulated to Zizhou and was conveyed by Ning Xi to Ning Yi, Ning Yi was looking at the big map ahead and pondered, and he whispered: "Let him."

"father……"

"Okay, I'll find an excuse to withdraw all the people from Yushui Creek."

"...ah?" Ning Xi was shocked by these words.

He looked at his father's face carefully. At this moment, Ning Yi's eyes were staring at the map but not at him, his eyes and words were as cold as they were.

This is the first time Ning Xi can't tell whether his father's words are jokes or true.

Ning Yi's hand was a simple piece of information coming from the front, and there were two messages recorded in the report.

One: I almost died...

Second: Baoshan entrance.

Ning Yi pressed the mark on the map.d
