The soldiers under his command were also staring at him together.
Meng Liang was an officer under Zhang Shuye, the former Hebei Army. Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi invaded the Song Dynasty for the first time, and a large number of Hebei troops, including him, were about to collapse at once.
Unexpectedly, in just a few months, he once again faced a difficult choice that was just the same as last time.
Fight or escape.
On that day, the Hebei army fled under the iron hooves of the Jin soldiers, which had become an indelible shame for the Hebei army.
Fortunately, this shame disappeared a little with Zhang Shuye leading the backbone of the Hebei army in battle in Huazhou.
Wang Lin led the Fuhu Army to win consecutive battles until the Jin soldiers evacuated the Song Dynasty.
Meng Liang then gathered the remaining troops and returned to the front line of Guangxin Army to defend the border.
And this time, do you still have to escape?
Meng Liang looked up at the distant north, and the rolling yellow dragon swept into the sky, and his face slowly turned red.
He turned back to look at Suicheng behind him.
There are only seven thousand defenders under Suicheng.
It is reported that Guan Sheng, the new governor of Guangxin Baosu Army, is leading the main force of the Eastern Army to Suicheng... but is it still time?
There were more and more soldiers gathering around Meng Liang, some looked frightened, some were shocked, and of course some were filled with righteous indignation, showing the desire to fight to the death with the Jin people.
Meng Liang took a deep breath.
He remembered the letter from King Yan about the anti-Jin and the entire Song Dynasty. "All the citizens of the Song Dynasty, regardless of the north or south, and people, they all have the responsibility to defend their territory and resist the Jin Dynasty." The proclamation of the proclamation was like a thunder thunder, echoing like a thunder
In his ears.
He also remembered that most of his wife, children, old and young people, neighbors, relatives and friends had died in the last southward invasion by the Jin people.
And at this moment, can he still escape? Where can he escape?
Hebei?Henan? Or do you deviate from your hometown and continue to flee south?
Meng Liang's eyes were blood-red.
Fuck him! It's just a big deal!
"Brothers, we cannot escape. Last time, our parents, brothers and sisters died under the iron hoof of the golden man. This time, if we escape again, what kind of face will we have to meet the ancestors below the earth in the future
All the clans!”
Meng Liang stomped his feet suddenly and roared: "The whole camp gathered, burned the military fort, spread the other two forts, and rushed to Suicheng!"
The three military forts are just three low fortresses, with 500 troops stationed each, and it is impossible to stop the crazy attack of the Iron Cavalry of Ten Thousand Jin soldiers and cavalry.
Meng Liang would not lead his comrades to hit the stone with eggs and do a chariot with a mantis arm, but instead made a quick decision to burn the military fort on the spot, and took out the stockpiled supplies and food. He and the other two fort defenders had a total of more than 1,500 troops, joined forces to the rear.
Twenty miles away from Suicheng.
The Guangxin Army's focus is on defense in Suicheng.
As long as Suicheng is defended and wait for the army on both sides to defend, let alone the ten thousand cavalry and Jin soldiers, even 100,000 Jin soldiers will be difficult to enter Hebei in the slightest.
At this time, Hebei was no longer Hebei where Zhang Shuye led a limited Hebei army to defend a long line of defense.
Three lines of defense, several strong cities on a plane.
As long as one attack is encountered, the other two lines can be maneuvered to support each other and support each other.
The north wind whistled, sweeping across the empty Hebei Plain.
The Jin soldiers and cavalry all over the mountains rushed over like a torrent of steel, trampling on the Baigou River, which had already formed ice too early, and rushed straight to the silent Suicheng with its strict cavalry formation.
The five-color triangular military flag of the Jin soldiers flies in the wind, and the red flag with the letter "Wanyan Loushi" is even more shocking.
The eight thousand Song troops guarding Suicheng were formed by the remnants of the former Hebei Army. At this time, under the command of Zhang Chengliang, the chief of the Suicheng military and horses, all retreated to Suicheng.
The Hebei Bianjun is quite familiar with Wanyan Loushi.
This person is known as the God of War in the Jin Kingdom.
This man made outstanding achievements and became famous in the hundreds of battles against Liao in the Jin Dynasty.
Zhang Chengliang stood on the city tower and looked at the direction of the surging formation of the Jin soldiers, with a shocked expression. The general of the Jin soldiers coming was Wanyan Loushi!
It is said that this person is not only extraordinary, but also knows military strategies.
Unlike other Jin generals, he is good at siege battles.
Later, Wanyan Zonghan regretted it a little. If Wanyan Loushi was asked to attack Taiyuan, the battle situation in Song and Jin today may be another situation.
The magistrate of Suicheng, Lu Long, strides to the city tower.
This person is in his thirties, with a white face and no beard. Although he is thin, he exudes a strong and strong aura.
Lu Long said anxiously: "Zhang Dujian, the Jin soldiers suddenly attacked. Judging from this situation, they intend to plunder the food, grass and supplies of our border guards, rather than attacking in full swing.
Someone just received a report from the Grand Marshal Zhending’s Office. Guan Sheng, the governor of the Baosu Army of Guangxin, led a large army to Baozhou. Suicheng. As long as our army can defend Suicheng for three or two days, reinforcements will arrive!"
Zhang Chengliang took a deep breath, turned to look at Lu Long and said, "Lu County Zun, I wonder how many troops General Guan led?"
Lu Long: "Fifty thousand! It can reach at most three days!"
Zhang Chengliang gritted his teeth and said decisively: "Well, even if we die, we will still be able to defend Suicheng for three days!
Lu County Zun, I have ordered people to burn the food and supplies of the military fortresses on both sides on the left and right. The people who belong to it are moving south. This time, the golden dog must not let the golden dog take away a drop of food from our Song Dynasty, a citizen!"
Lu Long said with a sigh: "The King of Yan is in charge of Zhending, hundreds of thousands of troops defending Hebei, Zhang Dujian, Suicheng is small, but the city wall is tall. This time, the city has poured ice water into the city. As long as we are careful, Jin
It is difficult to capture the troops."
Zhang Chengliang nodded slowly: "I hope this is the case, I can only fight to the death!"
Suicheng has long been prepared to defend the city.
The city walls on all sides were filled with water from top to bottom by soldiers. Under such a low temperature, the entire city wall of Suicheng was covered with a thick layer of smooth ice armor, and a strange cold light flashed in the sun.
Unlike the Jin people invaded the previous period, the people of Suicheng, who had just returned to their homes and settled down for a while, were reluctant to escape this time, but insisted on staying behind and defending the army, and had the ambition to live and die with their homes.
Half of the Jin soldiers have crossed the Baigou River.
Wanyan Loushi was wearing heavy armor, and he waved a mace and rushed to the front of the entire army.
Wanyan Loushi took the lead in sweeping three forts, but in fact, they had been burned into ruins by the Song army.
He slowly stopped the personal army of his team, stopped the horse and stood up on the spot, looked around and saw that the Song army had set up a series of military forts around the main defense city were destroyed, and obviously did not leave any food and grass for the Jin people.
A hint of anger appeared on Wanyan Loushi's face.
He is the best person in Jin Generals who is good at arbitrage.
He was in Youzhou and heard that Wang Lin was in Zhenting Station's generals and read the army a few years ago. He thought that the Guangxin Army had empty defense on the front line, and the Jin people were short of food, so he decided to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to raid Suicheng and prepare to take one and leave.
Come and go like the wind.
As a result, the army crossed the Baigou River and found that the Song people had already set up a solid wall and clearing the fields on the front line. If they wanted to obtain supplies, food and food, they had to attack the current first main defensive city, Suicheng.
As long as you take down Suicheng and the Jin people march straight in, you can plunder and leave again and again.
...
Zhending Mansion.
Yao Gu's investigation in the Western Army finally came to an end.
These dozens of dead soldiers came from the left army of the Western Army, and the main envoy was Zheng Xicheng, the left army's side general, who was also one of the above-mentioned dead soldiers and had died on the spot.
Zheng Xicheng was a middle-level general in the Western Army. Further up there was the commander and the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the front army such as Zhe Keqiu and Yao Gu.
Zheng Xicheng may not be the only manipulator behind the scenes.
Maybe there is someone else.
Maybe it is one of the children of the family.
Wang Lin knew it very well.
But at this moment, Wang Lin felt that he could not continue chasing down.
Because this Western army is already in panic and extremely uneasy, and has suffered thousands of losses, and then a large-scale cleaning and purging are carried out, there is a fear that another mutiny will occur.
As for the family of Zhong, Wang Lin did not think that the children of the Zhong family who had lost their military power could cause any storm.
Wang Lin looked at Master Zhong deeply and said calmly: "Old Master Zhong, this matter ends here.
I also hope that it will really end here.
You go, the old general returns to his hometown to spend his old age. He is currently fighting against the Jin Dynasty. I don’t want to have another storm.”
Mr. Zhong was silent for a long time and nodded and said, "Don't worry, I guaranteed my life with my family and family. My family will never... do something to destroy the prince's great cause of fighting against the Jin Dynasty and become a sinner of the Song Dynasty!"
"But if the Jin soldiers invade in the future, the court needs manpower, and I hope that the King of Yan will not ban my family's children from joining the army and serving the country!"
As soon as Master Zhong said this, Wang Lin knew that the Zong family had completely extinguished the final fighting spirit, but he was still unwilling to completely eliminate the path for the children of the Zong family to join the army to gain fame.
Wang Lin said calmly: "That's natural. I once said that all the people of the Song Dynasty, regardless of age, have the responsibility to defend their territory and resist Jin. In the future, the children of the family in the family are willing to join the army and serve the country. How could I refuse?"
Of course it can be done in the future, but now it cannot.
Master Zhong bowed and turned to the carriage.
The family members of Zhong gradually faded away.
All the Western Army generals who came to see him off today were brought back by Zhe Keqiu and Yao Gu. Wang Lin's promise was to be the last resort.
Yue Fei frowned and said, "Master, let them go like that? The students thought they had to be thoroughly cleaned up!"
"No need. The current crisis in the country is in the face of people. They may hate me, but as long as they still have the desire to serve the country and are willing to live and die for the country, they can be used by the solitary."
Wang Lin turned on his horse.
Yue Fei bowed and bowed, and followed him up.
Yan Qing's eyes were deep, and he looked at the Western Army camp for a long time before he led his Tiger God Guard back to the city.
Protecting Wang Lin’s safety is the responsibility of the Tiger God Guard.
Today is a profound lesson, and Yan Qing will never allow such things to happen again.
Next, he would order people to infiltrate in different ways, doing it little by little until the hidden dangers in this Western army were completely cleaned up.
There are some things that Wang Lin can’t say or do.
Only Yan Qing can do it.
After returning to the city, Zhang Kui and the three great scholars led dozens of scholars to wait in the vestiges of the royal palace.
Wang Lin even forgot that today was the day of lectures agreed with the scholar.
Seeing Zhang Kui and the other two wearing thick furs, standing in the cold wind with a group of scholars, trembling, but they still couldn't hold on, their faces were a little as gray, afraid that they would have been frozen in the low temperature for more than half an hour.
Wang Lin held his forehead with his hands, and his head was very big.
With the hat of this great Confucian master, since he enjoyed the benefits of the social support of the Tianxia Si Lin, he had to pay a certain price - such as organizing and participating in the scholar's literary meeting regularly.
Talk to the court.
This took up a lot of Wang Lin's time and gradually became a little miserable.
But what surprised Wang Lin was that Zhang Kui and others came today not to listen to the lecture, but proposed the idea of adding Wang Lin statues to Zhending Confucian Temple and accepting the worship of Shilin.
Wang Lin was really shocked.
He is not dead yet, so he needs to set up a statue to worship?
