Guo Ning felt as cold as ice all over his body, and his back was in sharp pain.
He choked and coughed several times before spitting out all the mud and blood that almost covered his mouth and nose.
As he panted, the water in front of him swayed, and the broken ice particles collided with each other, making a slight sound.
A howling wind blew by. Wherever the wind passed, it became colder and colder. The sound of the wind was accompanied by vague groans of pain, and there were also dull sounds of sharp weapons slashing into the human body.
The sound made Guo Ning suddenly nervous. He subconsciously used his arms to support his body that was lying in the water.
This movement made the pain in the back become more severe, as if something hot was stirring between the muscles and bones. Those were two arrows, and the arrow clusters penetrated deeply into the flesh. Fortunately, they should not have hurt the internal organs.
Guo Ning felt that he had probably had a long dream and just woke up now. When he woke up, he was a little confused and didn't know which one of the dreams was real.
However, when he turned around slightly and saw the scattered bodies in the water, and when he saw the blood gurgling out from the terrible wounds, covering the entire pond, he confirmed that all this was absolutely true.
Yes, it's not a dream.
A few feet away there was a tall man with a beard, walking back and forth on the edge of the pond.
This man wore light leather armor with a wide round-collared military robe underneath. He had a bow on his back, a quiver on his waist, and a bloody sharp blade in his hand.
The sound of slashing with a knife that Guo Ning heard just now was the man's last stab.
Most of the dead were shot in the back by arrows and fell to the ground. Several people were still alive, but after being hacked by the big man with a knife, their hands and feet twitched several times and became silent.
At this time, Guo Ning struggled to get up, attracting the attention of the bearded man.
He was startled at first and showed a horrified look; then he noticed Guo Ning's weak movements and saw that the arrow stuck in Guo Ning's back was still shaking, and there were wisps of blood running along Guo Ning's body.
flow into the water.
Then he cheered up and came over ferociously.
Guo Ning pressed his hands on his knees and managed to stand upright. Before his steps were steady, the big man stabbed Guo Ning straight in the chest with his short knife, with an unusually ferocious force.
Unfortunately, I tried too hard and it was full of flaws.
Guo Ning turned slightly sideways, and the short knife missed the point and passed under his ribs.
His left hand grasped the big man's knife-holding wrist like an iron plier, pulled it back with all his strength, and used the force of the pull to stride forward.
Before the big man could react, his vision went dark, and Guo Ning punched him in the face. The big man staggered and was about to fight back, but Guo Ning had already snatched the dagger and waved it with his hand.
The short knife penetrated the big man's neck on the right side, then passed down the left side of the throat, and the sharp edge stopped when it hit the left shoulder blade.
The blood vessels in the throat of the big man with a beard were severed. The blood made a subtle hissing sound and splashed out from between the open flesh. The sticky blood sprayed onto Guo Ning's face and flowed downwards, making him feel a little warm.
The big man stared at Guo Ning and opened his mouth, but only a few blood bubbles came out from his throat. The next moment, his eyes were scattered and his body swayed and fell.
Guo Ning's steps also staggered a bit. Two simple movements almost used up all the strength he had accumulated; his eyes seemed to be filled with stars flying, and the sky was spinning.
But the bearded man also had accomplices.
The moment Guo Ning swung his sword, the reeds made a roar, and the other two people stepped in the knee-high water and rushed in. The two of them saw blood splattering on the throat of the bearded man, and they were both frightened and angry.
One of them shouted loudly and ran over with his sword drawn. The other person slowed down slightly and drew his bow and nocked an arrow twenty steps away.
Guo Ning had no time to dodge, and only had time to thrust forward his right arm.
There was only a "buzz" sound, and the long arrow that was shot was firmly grasped in Guo Ning's hand, and the arrow shaft was still twisting and trembling, just like a fish emerging from the water.
The man was using a light bow that was no more than five dou. Because of his panic, he could only draw the bow halfway, and his shooting movements were not standard at all.
But the arrows were the heavy arrows commonly used by the Jurchens, which were very long and heavy. The sharp arrow clusters, which were six to seven inches long, cut into Guo Ning's palm, and blood splattered everywhere.
While grabbing the arrow, Guo Ning leaned over and half-crouched, took out a bow from the bearded man, nocked the arrow and fired. This action had been practiced for a long time. He didn't need to aim at all, and the long arrow whizzed through the air.
.
The man with the knife who ran first was hit by an arrow in the forehead. As the arrow suddenly penetrated his skull, he threw himself into the water and made no sound again.
Guo Ning took out the second arrow from the quiver of the bearded man.
The man holding the bow at the back was not slow in his movements and had already taken the second arrow in his hand. But when he saw this situation, he did not dare to confront Guo Ning. He only trembled his lips and forced a smile and said: "Liu Lang! We have
Good words..."
Before he finished speaking, there was an arrow on his forehead, and he immediately died.
After firing two arrows in a row, Guo Ning's heart beat like a drum and his whole body became cold.
I can't hold on any longer.
He used his bow to support his body and wanted to hide in the depths of the rolling swamp, but not long after, he fell down in the reeds and fainted again.
When I woke up this time, it was already dark.
It seems that except for the three who were killed, no other enemies came. It was a great luck.
The moisture from the ground came up through the reeds, chilling the bone marrow and making the body stiff.
Guo Ning laughed hoarsely twice and slowly moved his arms. After a while, he held the knife behind his back and cut the flesh of the arrow shaft downwards, trying to remove the arrow cluster.
This movement was a bit awkward, and it would inevitably stir up the arrow cluster stuck between the muscles and bones of his back. He was covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth with a ferocious expression, and grunted from time to time.
When the two long arrows left his body one after another, Guo Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
He has been away from the army for a long time, but he still habitually wears a military uniform with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. Under the military uniform, he wears a leather armor.
The leather armor was not of good quality. There were many holes on the surface, and it was soaked and rotten in many places. It exuded a putrid smell. Fortunately, the person who attacked him during the day was not a good hand, and the bow he used was not strong enough. The power of the arrow was destroyed.
The leather armor is weakened, so although the wound loses a lot of blood, it is not fatal.
However, the action of pulling out the arrow cluster enlarged the wound a little more, and even if the action was slightly violent, it would cause twitching pain.
Right now, I really can't do anything with anyone.
Guo Ning tore off his clothes, simply wrapped the bleeding wound, then climbed on the old tree next to him, straightened his back and looked around.
In early spring, the ice and snow are still there. Under the cold moonlight, you can see the bright white thin ice on the swamp water surface and vegetation.
The dense reeds and shrubs stretch endlessly. In the distance to the north, you can vaguely see the steep embankment or river bank, which is also covered with miscellaneous trees, connecting with the reeds and shrubs in the low-lying areas.
There are no signs of enemy activity.
Guo Ning walked back in the direction where the fight took place during the day.
After walking a few steps, the sound of broken dead branches was heard not far away. Guo Ning's body leaned forward and his steps suddenly stopped.
After a while, several crows flew by at low altitude, landed on another row of branches, and began to cackle. So he continued to move.
He should have focused his energy on the surrounding area and thought about how to face the predicament before him, but with the sound of gentle footsteps, Guo Ning's thoughts began to become chaotic. The dream he had when he fainted last time was not only gone now.
Blurred, but increasingly clear.
In the dream, Guo Ning lived thousands of years later and saw all kinds of incredible things. Those were so interesting.
Guo Ning thought, maybe that dream was true? He was really a person from later generations, but he just traveled to the second year of Chongqing and woke up in the body of a Jin Army soldier?
Isn’t it right? I am Guo Liulang from Wushabao in Changzhou, right? Everything I have experienced in this life is very clear, right?
After thinking about it over and over for a while, Guo Ning shook his head and decided not to dwell on this issue for the time being.
In any case, the memory of later generations gave Guo Ning insight. It made him understand that the current situation he was in at the moment was just the beginning of troubled times. The future will be much more terrifying and bloody than the present!
The Jurchen Jin Kingdom, which originated in a corner of the Northeast and once shocked the world with its roughness, barbarism and might, has gradually shown signs of decline in recent years.
The year before last, at the end of August in the third year of Da'an, the Jin army and the Mongolian army fought in Yehuling. The Jin army was defeated. Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed and scattered. There were hundreds of miles of zombies along the way, and the Military Assets Commission was abandoned like a mountain.
Most of Guo Ning's clan, relatives and brothers in this life did not fight in this war. As a result, he himself lived in Ansu Prefecture within the Great Wall.
After the war, the Mongolian army rampaged across the Central Plains and the interior of the Jin Dynasty, reaching from Linhuang across the Liaohe River in the north, to Xindai in the southwest, and to Heshuo and Zhongdu in the east. The ferocious beasts entrenched on the Mongolian plateau began to move beyond the plateau.
Exploring the claws.
Last year, the first year of Chongqing, the Mongolian army once again broke into the Central Plains. At one time, they used partial divisions to directly capture the central capital and attacked the city with hundreds of tactics. The entire Jin army was destroyed in the field battle. He County, which was guarding the city, was massacred. Millions of soldiers and civilians were killed.
Once again, he endured terrible devastation.
And these are just the beginning!
Guo Ning frowned and thought carefully.
Memories from another life poured into Guo Ning's mind like a tide. Those plain narratives and simple numbers merged with what he saw and heard in this life, forming a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which made him suddenly pause.
The steps were so fast that I could hardly breathe.
After a while, he sighed deeply and cursed: "This is such a shitty world!"
