"Everyone, the time for the decisive battle has arrived."
On April 19th, in Dalong Mountain near Kang County, the bright moonlight in the early morning shone in through the window lattice of the wooden house.
There was a small torch burning in the wooden house. The firelight and starlight merged together. Qin Shaoqian mobilized the generals of the Seventh Army who had just gathered.
"More than ten years have passed," he said. "In the past ten years or so, the Central Plains has fallen in the flames of war. Our compatriots have been bullied and massacred. We have also lost our comrades. All of you here
Most of them have also lost their loved ones, do you still remember what your... relatives look like?"
Outside the room, soldiers of the Seventh Chinese Army had gathered among bonfires.
"I still remember my father's appearance." He said, "The Wu Dynasty was a great place back then. My father was the minister of the court. In order to guard Bianliang, he offended the emperor and eventually died on the road to exile. My brother
He was a nerd. He guarded Taiyuan for more than a year, but the court refused to send troops to rescue him. In the end, he was chopped into pieces by the Jurchens, and his head was hung on the city wall. Someone sent his head back... I didn't see it."
"It's just...for more than ten years, I remember their appearance clearly, and I also remember the appearance of Bianliang very clearly. My brother's posthumous son is still a little carrot head at the moment. He grew up in the Kingdom of Jin and was
The golden man chopped off a finger. It took more than ten years... The children at that time were walking around the city and playing with dogs all day long, but today's children have to chop off their fingers and they can't even speak.
It’s hard to tell, he grew up on the Jurchen side, he doesn’t even dare to speak..."
A large cart pulled by horses and mules came down the mountain, carrying iron cannons and other ordnance. From a distance, some people came over and watched from the edge of the mountain.
Qin Shaoqian looked at the generals with one eye.
"Some people say that those who fall behind will be beaten, and we were beaten... I remember more than ten years ago, when the Jurchens went south for the first time, Li Heng and I were talking on the roadside. It seemed to be an evening during the Wu Dynasty. Li Heng said
, this country already owes a debt. I asked him how he could repay it, and he said he would pay with his life. Over the years, I don’t know how many people have died, but we have been repaying the debt until now..."
The wind blew through the bonfire outside, reflecting the tall and straight figures. There was a cold breath gathering in the air. Qin Shaoqian's eyes swept across the crowd.
"From Xia Village... to Dong Zhiyuan... northwest... to Xiaocang River... Dayang... and then here... our enemies, from Medicine Master Guo... to the senior soldiers of the imperial court... from the Xixia people...
...We arrived at Loushi without missing a word... From the three years of Xiaocanghe to today's Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin... How many people have stood by your side? They charged forward with you and fell down.
On the way..."
"More than ten years ago, when we talked about the Jurchens, it was like a myth. From Chuhedian to Hubu Dagang, they defeated the arrogant Liao people. Every time they defeated more with less, and our Wu Dynasty
, I heard that the Liao people were coming, and they all felt a headache, let alone the invincible Jurchens. Tong Guan led more than 100,000 people in the Northern Expedition, but could not defeat the 7,000 Liao soldiers. He spent tens of millions of taels of silver to buy Yan
Four states from Yun Sixteen States are back..."
He recalled those days and smiled: "Prince Tong, a man who covered the sky with one hand, all of us had to kneel in front of him. Until Li Heng killed Zhou Zhe, Tong Guan stood in front, and Li Heng slapped him
On top of his head, he flew up and hit his head on the steps of Jinluan Palace, bang"
"Back then, we knelt to look at the Tong Prince, the Tong Prince knelt to look at the emperor, the emperor knelt to look at the Liao people, and the Liao people knelt to look at the Jurchens... Why were the Jurchens so powerful? In Xia Village back then, we didn't know, Bian
The army of one million Qinwang in Liangcheng was defeated by Zong Wang's tens of thousands of horses and horses. What a disparity. Many of us have practiced martial arts for a lifetime, but we have never thought that the differences between people can be so big.
.But! Today!”
Qin Shaoqian's voice fell like thunder: "Is there still this gap? Who is afraid between us and Wanyan Zonghan?"
Outside the door and window, the firelight swayed, and the night wind roared like a tiger through the mountains and ridges.
"...Our Fifth Army has just defeated them in the southwest. Mr. Ning killed Zong Han's son. In front of them, he killed Youlili, Dalai, and Yuyu. Chen Fan was in Tan
Zhou killed Yin Shuke. Next, Yin Shuke's younger brother Ba Lisu will never leave the Jiange! These people's hands are stained with the blood of the Han people, and we are trying to get them back bit by bit.
"
"The Fifth Army has fought against Zong Han in the most difficult environment and turned defeat into victory. Everyone in the Huaxia Army, their strength is already very tense. They pull away and fight to defend the sword pavilion. They don't want our two armies to be connected. Zong Han
He thought that as long as the sword pavilion was separated, they would face us here with a superior force. Their main force was nearly 100,000, and we were only 20,000, so he wanted to defeat us while the sword pavilion was not broken, and finally give this battle a
An explanation..."
Killing intent flashed in the corners of his eyes: "The Jurchens are already defeated generals in the southwest. Their vigor has been lost, but Zong Han and Xi Yin don't want to admit this. So for us, there is good news and a
The bad news, the good news is that we are facing a group of defeated generals; the bad news is that the invincible army that came out of the blue to conquer the Jurchens is no longer there..."
"We, the Seventh Army of China, have gone through so much training to get to where we are today. Why are there such huge differences between people? We put people in this big furnace to burn, let them run on the tip of a knife, turn in the sea of blood, and eat
The most suffering, the most difficult ordeal, you have been hungry, you have survived the pressure, you have swallowed charcoal fire, you have run through the wind and sand, and you have come here... If it were back then, if we were in Hubu Dagang, we would have saved Wanyan
Aguda, beaten to death at the front of the military formation..."
"But today, we can only eat something cold."
When he said this, his tone was low, and there was bloody suppression in his mouth every word. The generals in the room were all sitting upright, people clenched their fists, and some people twisted their necks gently, making tiny noises in the cold night.
Qin Shaoqian paused for a moment.
"Think about the people who have died along the way! Think about the murderers who did these bad things! There are 100,000 of them, and they are coming towards us! They want to take advantage of our small manpower!
Then let them take advantage of this! We must break their last delusion, and we must drive the head of Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the world’s soldiers and horses, into the mud!”
“Everyone has it!”
The generals in the room stood up.
Qin Shaoqian's eyes swept across them.
The cold moonlight outside the window is also sweeping across the mountains and mountains in this world. Certain influences are pushed away like waves. The generals walk towards the soldiers and mobilize them one by one. Then the scout troops first start taking action, followed by the main force and baggage. The Seventh Army
Unlike other armies, they have no superficial fanaticism, and the blood only burns in their bodies. The moment of decisive battle has arrived.
"We go to war."
The military front is like a river bursting its banks and surging forward!
…
Zong Han rarely thinks of that forest sea and snowfield.
There are no four seasons in Hushui. The snowfields there often make people feel that the four seasons described in the book are an illusion. The Jurchens who grew up there do not even know where in this world there will be things different from those in their hometown.
The same changing of seasons.
Knowing too much is a pain.
Zong Han is the eldest son of the Prime Minister Sa Gai. Although the Jurchens are a poor small tribe, as the son of the Prime Minister, he will always have such privileges. There will be knowledgeable shamans who will tell him the truth of heaven and earth. He is lucky.
You can go to the south and experience and enjoy the taste of summer in Liao Kingdom.
This is the taste of pain.
For a while, he even felt that the Jurchens were born in such a world of ice and snow, which was a curse given to them by God. He was still young at that time, and he was afraid of the snowy weather. People often walked into the world of ice and snow and did not come back after nightfall.
, others said, he would never come back again.
There were wolves and bears in the ice and snow. People taught him how to fight. He was not afraid of wolves or bears. What he was afraid of was the invincible ice and snow, the malicious giant that filled the sky. His
Neither steel knives nor spears can damage this giant thing. From the time he was young, the people in the tribe taught him to become a warrior, but warriors cannot harm this world, and people cannot defeat things that are not harmed.
Even if he becomes the strongest warrior, he is still a helpless ant in front of the enemy.
Until he was twelve years old, he participated in the second winter hunting with the adults. In the wind and snow, he was separated from the adults. The evil in the sky squeezed his body everywhere, and his hands were frozen in the ice and snow.
He was frozen, and his sword and gun could not give him any protection. As he moved forward, the wind and snow blew, and the giant beast was about to swallow him up bit by bit.
When there was the last ray of light left in the sky, he found a small bungalow piled with firewood under a tree. It was a place where some Jurchen hunters had piled firewood to rest temporarily.
John climbed in, hid in the small space, and drank the last sip of wine he had brought with him.
The wind was howling outside the woodpile, and he huddled in that space, huddled tightly into a ball.
He spent a whole night with the snow and wind. At some point, the snow and wind outside stopped and everything was quiet. He crawled out of the room. He cleared the snow. It was probably early in the morning, and there were stars all over the sky above the woods.
, the night sky was as clear as a wash, and at that moment, it was as if he was the only one in the whole world, and next to him was a shelter made of small firewood piles. He seemed to understand that the heaven and the earth were just heaven and earth, not giant beasts.
At dawn the next day, he set out from the firewood pile, took his sword and gun, hunted a wolf in the snowfield, drank the wolf's blood, ate the meat, and found another wolf before dark.
A hunter's cabin, the direction was found.
Everything was clearly placed in front of him. There were crises everywhere in the world, but there was no malicious intention in the world. People only need to walk between one pyre and another to defeat everything. From then on, he
He became the most outstanding warrior of the Jurchen clan. He was keenly aware, calculated carefully, and killed bravely. He went from one pyre to another.
For a long time, the Jurchens have lived like this in the harsh world. Excellent warriors are always good at calculating, calculating life and death.
A few years later, Aguda wanted to raise troops to rebel against the Liao. The Liao Kingdom was a behemoth with a million troops, but Aguda only had more than 2,000 soldiers to lead. Everyone was afraid of the power of the Liao Kingdom, and their attitudes were relatively conservative. Except for
Zong Han and Aguda chose the same direction.
If this world is an enemy, then all the warriors can only sit back and wait for death. But the world has no ill intentions. No matter how powerful the dragon or elephant is, as long as it can be harmed, there must be a way to defeat it.
Soon after, Aguda defeated the 10,000 Bohai navy with 2,500 men, beheaded Yelu Xie Shi, captured Ningjiang Prefecture, and began a glorious journey that would last for decades...
Looking back, this was already forty years ago.
During this period, he rarely thought about the storm that night, his mood when he saw the giant beast running past, and then the stars were like water, and everything in the world gently accepted him.
Zong Han, who was sitting on the hillside, opened his eyes. In front of him was the sprawling camp, with stars in the sky, the warm earth, and the mountains that stretched across them. They didn't look malicious at all. Here, people don't have to go from one firewood pile to another.
There was no need to find the next hut before dark for another firewood pile, but in the early morning when he went out for a walk, he finally saw the howling north wind again.
If the distance to the next hut is not calculated properly, people will die in the wind and snow.
The young man from forty years ago clenched his spear. In this world, he had seen countless grand scenes, killed countless giant dragons and primitive elephants, and the wind and snow had dyed his beard and hair white. He would also think of this biting wind.
The companions who came together in the snow, Gailibo, Yingge, Wuyashu, Aguda, Orugu, Zongwang, Loushi, all left without missing a word... Until now, these figures have all left behind
Somewhere where the wind and snow were raging.
But Jurchen will continue to move forward, looking for the next hut to shelter from the wind and snow, and he will kill the giant beasts on the way, eat their blood, and eat their flesh. This is the truth between heaven and earth.
On the morning of April 19th, the scouts at the front of the army observed signs that the Chinese Seventh Army had changed direction and tried to escape south. However, in the afternoon, this judgment was proved to be wrong. Within three moments, the two armies launched a large-scale scouting operation in Yangzhou.
A battle was involved near the dam, and the nearby troops were immediately attracted and approached for support.
But not long after, Pu Cha, the vanguard of the Jin army, met the enemy near Lueyang County, a hundred miles away. The main force of the first division of the Chinese Seventh Army followed the Jin army along the Qinling Mountains. The two sides quickly entered the fighting range and launched an attack almost simultaneously.
Zong Han divided his troops and launched a rapid encirclement of the Chinese Seventh Army. He hoped that before Jianmen Pass was defeated by Ning Yi, he could use more to defeat fewer and establish a local advantage outside Jianmen Pass. He was the main attacker. In theory,
The Chinese Seventh Army would try its best to retreat and defend in front of four times its own strength, but what no one expected was that the Seventh Army would pounce.
That afternoon, the Chinese army's charge horn rang through the mountains and fields near Lueyang County, and two giant beasts fought each other.
