Chapter 599: The Snow Sea of Condensation and the Giant Wheel of Life and Death (Eight)
Since many years ago, the stone has been on that ridge.△↗It is an unknown low ridge, inconspicuous and has no scenic spots worthy of praise. The stone is just one of many stones, and has witnessed it
The sun rises and sets, and has experienced the changes of the world and endured the changes of the four seasons. The Yellow River water has been submerged by its body several times. When the crowd comes and goes around, the children who herd cattle occasionally rest on it. In the long and long time, the sun is still there.
It has not moved its position.
When the armored man dragged it away from there, the snow had just fallen from the sky, a snow that had fallen many years ago. It was dragged to a certain flat ground with many stones, and the snow would cover it.
When the layer was layered, the people who dragged it began to knock on it with things. It was knocked rounder and then piled up in countless other stones.
In front of it, there is a rough, wooden camp, and further ahead, a huge high wall extends toward both sides of the world.
The snow is falling, the sun rises and sets again, and the stones are sometimes lively and sometimes deserted, people run back and forth, sometimes moving their companions away, and sometimes stuffing more stones around it. Light and undercurrents are turning
Alternating, the surroundings suddenly became more lively. The footsteps of people and horses shook the earth, and more equipment with wheels pushed from the surroundings. The restless breath mixed with falling snowflakes.
When the sky became dark and brighter, the buzzing vibration had already enveloped everything. The voices were running, and all kinds of rough and strange sounds, around it, a large number of stones were quickly moved away, those
The stones crossed the sky and disappeared. Finally, they rushed over and carried it. They placed it on the wooden boards. They rushed through the difficult snow, the roads were bumpy, sometimes high and sometimes low, and when someone rushed over,
It jumped over the stone, and then a large number of running horses sounded around it. The wooden board hit the low-lying land, and with a bang, the stone rolled down, and the man fell beside it, but after a moment, he
Get up and push it onto the wooden board again.
The small journey ended next to the huge wooden equipment. When the board stopped, the two men raised the stone and placed it in a sunken container. The stone sank and the sound of the winch sounded.
People shouted.
After a short period of time, it flew up in the sky. The snowflakes in the sky stretched towards the endless distance. They collided with the snowflakes and rushed through the cold wind. The horse-riding team ran under its body, below it
There were also fallen people, blood and flames, and hysterical screams. The huge wall ahead quickly magnified, and arrows with sharp arrows rushed through his opposite direction. In the instant journey,
An arrow came quickly from the front, collided with it, and then rebounded and flew without a trace.
The huge city tower, the words "New Sour Jujube Gate" flashed by, and the stone hit the huge wall. Stone chips splashed everywhere, and then there was a huge drop. It fell from the top of the high city wall, with a bang,
There were splashes of ice and water. The stone fell at the edge of the originally intersection of the moat and the city wall. Half of it hit the ice. Half of it was still outside.
On its left and right sides, more stones hit the walls and then fell, and there were also snowflakes, arrows, and other things. When it was quietly there,
The strange things always fall on it like raindrops, and the arrow bounces away, and the water falling from the high wall gradually turns into ice on its body, and then is smashed by another falling stone.
The snow fell, and then the huge wood also fell, making a loud noise.
The restless and violent scene paused as the sky turned dark. The snow was still falling. There was light on the city wall, and there was also a continuous light behind it. Water washed down from the city wall. Before dawn, it seemed quiet around it.
At some point, the restless sound suddenly sounded again. The stone flew over, the arrow flew over, the fire approached, the huge wooden building and the ladder approached, and a ladder was mounted above the stone position, and then the people
His body also fell down and fell next to the stone, with strange flesh and blood, followed by black and viscous liquid.
The howling sound swept over with light, the fire spread down, the stone was submerged in the raging fire, and then the burning people also yelled and fell down, and soon after, the ladder also fell down...
The sun's light rose to the east, sweeping across the huge high wall. It changed its position and fell down, and countless lights and shadows around it were in conflict. In the journey of stone, everything around it is both short and eternal.
.It is one with everything around it at the other end of the ever-changing world, whether it is undergoing huge explosions, divisions, or deformations, whether it is air, water, hard gems or gleaming pearls,
Whether part of it becomes lush trees or flesh and blood, whether it can fly or merge into the soil, everything is like a change of sand and dust blowing on the wind, and this change is the eternal part
.
It was quietly embedded in the melting and starting to condense ice, and the falling things were shaped around it over and over again. The cavalry ran, arrows flew, swords and guns intersected, flesh and blood splattered, heavy snow danced, flames burned...
...The corpse fell down with a scream, smashing its hard bones into pieces on its body, and the sticky flesh slowly slid off the stone, and then continued to condense...
All of this is part of eternity, but perhaps in a short time, they have some different meanings for these briefly transformed objects called living things...
***************
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh--"
The huge hysterical sound filled everything, blood in his eyes, making his mind hurt, the wooden frame was being pushed wildly in the sword light, the Jurchens were pushed back, and then they hit the battlement, he didn't want to be pushed down
, reached out and climbed on the battlement, and the knife light cut off the hand with force. Xue Changgong kicked the man down the city with one force!
"Where are other people! What about others!"
At the lieutenant next to him with half of his face covered in blood, Xue Chang shouted vigorously. He rushed to the female wall, poked his head out and took a look. The Jurchens were heading towards the city wall that stretched for miles.
The wooden buildings and ladders that were sieging the city were all mounted. The moat at the city gate was filled. The rushing car was protected by soldiers holding shields and walked forward. Someone fell down the turtle oil from the city tower.
A long fire dragon was pulled out from the snow, and the arrow was shooting down desperately. Another powerful attack.
"There are only so many people! The other brothers are dead! The Jurchens rushed up just now-"
"The yaksha is not enough. I've been chopped up, so I'll ask someone to lift it up! There is also tincture oil, don't be reluctant to leave it - don't just visit the main entrance! Look at the third section of the 1st and follow me! The Jurchens are going to attack there-
—”
Outside the city wall that was stretched out, the Jurchens attacked like a tide, and inside the city wall, soldiers and volunteers guarding the city were like ants. Even though the greatest force had been mobilized, the defense on the city wall was sometimes not enough.
The Jurchens launched a fierce attack on the entire northern city wall. The madness was enough to make the defenders of every section of the city wall feel frightened. However, the Jurchen generals also used this angrily attack to test the city wall.
Weakness - More specifically, it is to actively create weaknesses and try to break the defense of the entire city wall with the soldiers' amazing fighting consciousness.
During the fierce attack, the Jurchens' horse team also galloped rapidly under the city, rushing with high-density arrows to suppress the city wall. Once the defense on a certain section of the city wall is a little exhausted, the power of the siege will go crazy
When the Jurchen soldiers rushed to the top of the city, the torn hole would immediately bring shocking casualties. In the three-day siege, the Jurchens had achieved such a record four times.
At noon on November 23, more than fifty Jurchen soldiers successfully climbed to the wall. They killed the surrounding defenders and the people who helped defend the city and retreated in large numbers, forcibly killing these fifty people.
Death. In the short period of time when recapturing the city wall, more than 500 soldiers and people died. A large part of them were killed by Jurchen soldiers and fell from the inside of the city wall until they died.
On the afternoon of the 22nd day, when the Jurchens first climbed the wall, they used their strong combat power to retreat the three efforts of the Wu Dynasty soldiers to try to retake the wall. At that time, they held the wall, and a large number of Jurchens were all
After rushing up, the recapture of the Wu Dynasty soldiers became a tactic of oil. Later, Master Zhong personally led the Divine Bow Camp to cover the city with arrows, and then used more than 3,000 elite soldiers to live on both ends of the city wall.
The Jurchens were piled up and finally temporarily suppressed the Jurchens. This wave of casualties and wounded 1,500 people. At that time, neither the Jurchens nor the Wu Dynasty defenders had adapted to this high-intensity rhythm. However, the keenness of the fighting consciousness on the Jurchens was
Amazingly, of course, in the subsequent battles, the intermediate generals of the Wu Dynasty, such as Xue Changgong, were finally able to adapt to such battles.
Flying stones and arrows occasionally cross the city wall and smash into the crowds of people inside the city wall - among the Jurchen siege equipment, not many stones can be thrown over. Even if they can, they often take the risk of entering the bow and arrow.
In the range of the shooting range, but almost every time it may cause casualties. Compared with the Jurchens who are the siege, who can set ladders anywhere outside the city, as the defenders of the city, the corridors of the upper and lower walls are often fixed.
When the battle intensity above the city wall is too high, the city guarding equipment needs to be replenished at any time, which leads to a large number of people in the corridor, and they often become victims of rocks or stones.
But except for subconsciously evading on the spot or looking for a wooden board to support it, there is no other way to evacuate, because once their work stops, the defense on the city wall will be in danger.
In fact, the crazy attack and amazing combat power of the Jurchens have already taken away the fighting spirit of some defenders. This kind of fighting spirit does not mean that people are escaping, but that kind of people are truly aware of the strength of this army.
The amazing fighting spirit made the Jurchens break through the city and pressing them back, which would cost several times their lives. The soldiers of the Wu Dynasty did not subconsciously avoid it, but subconsciously felt that they were fighting when they met up.
but.
At this time, the Wu Dynasty's army guarding the city was the most elite imperial guards in the Wu Dynasty. They had sufficient training and food and salary on weekdays. They would not escape - it was useless to escape - but that was it. Facing the opening of the day
The gap in subjective initiative is almost irreparable. For three days, on this city defense line that lasts for several miles, this string of defense has always been tightened. People are in a hurry to deal with everything, and the city defense gives
It seems that people's feelings may collapse at any time.
But it hasn't collapsed yet.
Rolling wood and stones were thrown from the city wall like raindrops, with tincture, hot water, arrows and galaxies mixed together. The city wall that was stretched out was full of yakshas with sharp knives or barbs, waving long fork poles
The soldiers were occasionally shot by a runaway arrow and fell into a pool of blood. The people who came up to deliver things occasionally picked up the fork rod and shouted and waved them. They tried to stop the Jurchens coming up from the ladder, with the fiery and surging shouts and fighting sounds
Mixed in the wind and snow in the sky, the entire city wall spreads.
A large number of injured people were carried down and sent to the injured barracks. The weather was too cold, and the injured two days earlier were quickly infected with the cold due to the decline in physical resistance. The weak were dying anytime and anywhere, and all the doctors in the city had been
Mobilized. Li Shishi was helping. She had not rested for a day and a night. Her clothes were dirty and her hair was messy. Her forehead and face were covered with blood from others, and her grass and ash when she was boiling medicine.
, in the wounded barracks surrounded by countless wounded people, they just helped with things mechanically.
This sudden tragic scene made her a little confused. In addition, she had almost never stopped busy these days, and was accompanied by blood. It made it difficult for her to think about what was happening in front of her and could only do things endlessly.
Coping - Hou Jing once told her about the casualties of the Jurchens during the forced attack, but in this situation, Hou Jing might be a little confused.
In just three days, under the strong attack of the Jurchens, perhaps the entire Bianliang City was already confused.
The fear of war swept over.
********************
Twenty miles northwest of Moutuogang, more than 40,000 permanently victorious troops led by Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren have left the Jurchen camp.
Zong Wang wanted to attack Bianliang and further train the Jurchens to continuously improve their siege combat power when they destroyed the Liao Kingdom. They had never thought about the possibility of failure. In this big battle, he did not let Guo
The pharmacist army was involved, of course, with reasons for being arrogant and confident. On the other hand, the Jurchen Eastern Army had never really launched a joint battle with the resentful army throughout the journey.
During the process of going south, there was no enemy that needed the two armies to merge to defeat. On the other hand, the most important thing was that once you were standing side by side with Guo Yaoshi on the battlefield, a large part of the cause of the victory or defeat of the battle was handed over.
Pharmacist Guo is in his hands.
Although Zong Wang has surrendered the ever-victorious army, there is no question of "tacification" of this army. Assuming that both sides attack Bianliang together and Guo Yaoshi works, the city will definitely be in a doubt, but if it is
At the most critical moment, he turned against the battlefield, and even the strongest Jurchen army under his command would probably die.
The Confucian scholars of the Wu Dynasty liked all kinds of conspiracies. Who knew whether Guo Yaoshi was playing a trick, waiting to give himself a knife at the most critical moment?
If the Wu Dynasty really had such a sinister idea, let his army march forward until the city of Bianliang, and then turn against each other, it would be as if it were written in that letter, and no one could suppress Nianhan anymore.
For such considerations, Zong Wang would not allow the ever-winning army to enter the battlefield of the siege. Guo Yaoshi also understood this. When Zong Wang arranged a task for him, he quickly launched an investigation and wanted to decide.
Which Wu Dynasty team was in the Yellow River? Later I found that the most likely one was the Western Army troops led by Zhong Shizhong.
Of course, this conclusion was a bit reckless, but it doesn't matter. Zong Wang had already begun to attack Bianliang, and he didn't want to wait until everything was fully implemented before taking action. Maybe Bianliang would fall by then, and on the other hand, he defected to the Jurchens.
, but now he can't make more contributions. Before Zong Wang captured Bianliang, he felt that he had to have a record. Under this consideration, the Western Army was the best record - the other guys were soft persimmons, if
He was still in the Wu Dynasty. He could use such an army to win credit, but now in the Jin Dynasty, he would be praised for his merits if he fought casually, which would only make people laugh.
Because of this consideration, when the message from the outside world said that it was the Western Army that was going to go, he immediately believed it and set off the camp to fight and touched the Western Army's current garrison point - he was too lazy to stay in the military camp for idle meals.
********************
Outside the city of Bianliang, a little further away from the Jurchen barracks, Ning Yi rode on a horse, holding a telescope, watching the amazing siege scene. Hongti followed him behind him, and Qin Shaoqian was on the other side, and there was also
Han Jing and several others were there.
After putting down the telescope, Ning Yi swallowed: "How long can Bianliang last if you fight like this?"
No one answered, and after a while, Qin Shaoqian said: "...I don't know." His voice was so low that he had no confidence.
Seeing that no one was talking, Han Jing pointed at Bianliang: "In every battle of siege, if you can't surround him, you will have a strong attack on the east and attack the west. The Jurchens' offensive is so fierce that they are concentrated on one side. If you can't attack for a long time, I
Guessing Zong Wang will definitely divide his troops to attack the other city gates. If you can predict the enemy's initiative, you may be caught off guard and eat a group of people."
Ning Yi frowned. Yue Fei, not far away, did not have a high status among these people, but he was already familiar with these days. At this time, he said: "General Han made sense, but the Jurchens here are all under Zong Wang's command.
Even if the elite attacks one-on-one, we may not be able to take much advantage, let alone the response on the battlefield is fast. Zong Wang's soldiers dismounted for infantry battles and rode for cavalry, and they may not sit idly by.
Escape. You must not ignore it."
Han Jing said: "Brother Yue reminds you."
"However, there are at least 12,000 people in the Moutuogang camp. Although most of them are infantry and craftsmen, it is still difficult to start with our number." Someone said beside him.
"No matter what, I can't hold on." Ning Yi, Qin Shaoqian, Hongti and others looked at each other, "Go back first, you will make a decision tonight... prepare to take action!"
The group turned back and went back, but the direction was no longer Xia Village, but an abandoned village on the snowy field in Bianliang at this time. There were 4,300 people in total, and they had already come out of Xia Village and stationed here.
Among the teams brought by Hongti from Luliang Mountain, there were nearly 2,000 people, among which the heavy cavalry that had been accumulated had a total of 164 cavalry, and the rest were light cavalry. In Wurui Camp, Qin Shaoqian and Ning Yi were originally trained in Dulonggang.
There were more than a thousand soldiers, but after the defeat at the end of September, there were only less than five hundred left. The more than two thousand cavalry that Wu Ruiying had finally pulled up were greatly damaged. Now Qin Shaoqian has less than five hundred cavalry left.
, plus the remaining available veterans, the number of cavalry here is now 2,55 cavalry and 1,88 infantry.
As for what Xia Village left, there were more than 15,000 people at this time. Although some of them were elite soldiers who were used to support the formation, Zhuji managers or martial arts masters, these people were so angry that they were just now.
After being incited for more than a month, he could only be left in Xia Village to deal with future defensive battles, pulling them out and facing the enemy head-on with the Jurchens, basically seeking death.
The wind and snow kept falling in the cold village. Ning Yi and others discussed the situation, calculated the situation of the war, and argued for a while. The Jurchens were too strong, and how much could the power they could use in their hands?
No one has any idea. However, there is no time left. This night, they must make a decision.
In Bianliang, the fierce battle continues...
Wanyan Zongwang has to settle all this within a few days... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
ps: Well, the prelude to the war has really unfolded.
