Chapter 848 The Beacon Fire, The Golden Stream, The Great River Qiu Li ([-])

Eleven years have passed since the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty and Jurchen went south for the first time.In the autumn of the ninth year of Wu Jianshuo, the Kingdom of Jin's fourth military campaign kicked off, and 30 troops marched southward to the Central Plains from the East Road.Compared with the fierce resistance organized by the people when the Jurchen first went south, and the cruelty of the Jurchen massacre all the way, after nearly ten years of rule and slaughter by the Puppet Qi and the Jurchen, in July, the people of the Central Plains organized a massacre north of the Yellow River. Against the situation, all horses are silent.Perhaps it also means that the orthodox dominance of the Wu Dynasty in the Central Plains has fallen to a low point.

At the end of July, the organized and planned resistance that really belonged to the big forces finally started.Compared with the folk resistance that is more dependent on the people's consciousness and is like a river, the resistance behavior dominated by a clear will at this time is more like a deliberate assassination. , pull up momentum and advantage.

On July 24, Wang Shan Yueguang Wujun took his name.

On 26, Li Xizhi’s 17 troops, which had already been ready to go, came to the south. At the same time, the Jurchen general Uda led the [-] Jurchen troops originally stationed in the Central Plains, and rushed down to the bank of the Yellow River to prevent Liang Shanshui from Wang Shanyue’s hands. The army raided the East Route Army and went south to ferry.

28. Eleven thousand black flag troops gathered suddenly, broke Zengtou City, and headed south to Damingfu after a day's rest.

On the fourth day of August, 17 troops gathered in Daming Mansion, preparing to attack the city. The [-] Guangwu Army in the city and the [-] rebels from nearby hilltops who came to increase their strength were waiting. At this time, the Black Banner Army had passed Gaotang , and rushed towards Li Xizhi.

A chain of resistance spread across the north bank of the Yellow River. The most intense one was the raid on the Jurchen grain and forage troops outside Zhending city. Inside the city, Qi Yan’s mansion was raided. ——Although many people in the city are illiterate, it is enough to shrink the entire atmosphere and situation to the most urgent level.The continuous outbreak of events is like a rapid drum of war, spreading the whole situation.

It wasn't just the Jurchen who went south to know the whole situation. Li Xizhi, who had been operating in this place for many years, might be the first person to collect every tip at this moment.The army's preparations for war were extremely urgent, and the siege of the Daming Mansion was ready to go, but the fierce charge of the black flag had to turn him back.Staff in the army continued to discuss, some nervous and some suspicious.

"Black Flag is going to fight with our army in one go!"

"It must be a plan of suspicious soldiers! Even if it is a black flag, it will not be so reckless!"

"General Wuda is still nearby. The black flag of Liangshan is only a side division, not the main force. Once it is dragged, it will only kill itself!"

"Suspicious Soldier!"

"...Don't forget Xiao Canghe!"

"Don't forget the striker of the fourth prince Zongbi!"

The quarrel among the staff was boring, Li Xizhi could only put on a domineering and calm posture, on the one hand slowly besieged the city, on the other hand, mobilized 3000 garrison troops between the Daming Mansion and Gaotang, and at the same time ordered his general Feng Qize to lead 3 soldiers. On the way, they set up a line of defense at Linhe'ao, a checkpoint, and waited for it.On the sixth day of August, at the Linhe'ao pass, Feng Qize saw the black flag troops approaching. At this time, above the Linhe'ao pass, iron cannons, bows and arrows, and various defenses were already in full swing. The pass was crowded with 3000 people. On the opposite side, in the formation of tens of thousands of black flags, the big knife Guan Sheng came out of the formation with the green dragon Yanyue in his hands, with a murderous aura.

"It's about to go to war! The younger generation, you still don't know!" Guan Sheng's shout came up the city wall, with a contemptuous arrogance.

"My city is formidable, four times as strong as yours! The rats are dazed and come to die, just to add to my merits!"

"I'm afraid you have never been to Xiaocanghe!"

"Haha, who ran away with his tail tucked in at the end!" Feng Qize was eloquent and did not show weakness. Chengxia Guan Sheng laughed and finally shook his sword: "Then go to hell! Monkeys!" After speaking, Back on horseback.

Feng Qize originally thought that the other party would say a few more words, but he was also able to convince the other party with his aura, but he didn't expect the other party to leave after saying so, so he had to calm down.Before the afternoon, he himself sat down on the city wall and ordered all the soldiers and military teams to stand by, never let up, and wait for the attack of the black flag.During these years of guarding against the black flag, the biggest impression of the people in the north on the black flag is the pervasive penetration ability of Xiaocanghe after the retreat. For these things, Li Xizhi’s army also cleaned up several times, and Feng Qize also strengthened the city wall. Supervision among soldiers.As for the strength of the Black Flag Army outside of the infiltration, it can only be solved with all the energy and head-on.

On the opposite front, the black flag's drums of war continued without stopping.This was a simple tactic of exhausting troops. Feng Qize was unmoved. In the afternoon, he reacted and said to the lieutenant, "I don't think the intention of the black flag is to pull the forests and the Ao, nor to attack Li Shuai's army. The demons are the leader, and they are full of cunning, so they won't force the fortress to attack the fortress, and they may have other purposes."

The lieutenant said: "General is wise, then how should I respond?"

"No need to deal with it." Feng Qize shook his head, "Now the Daming House is Li Shuai's responsibility, if the black flag bypasses Linhe Ao to rescue Daming, I will wait for [-] troops to attack, even the black flag will not dare to take such a risk. Their purpose is not in the Daming Mansion, so let them mess around for a few days, and once the main force of the Jurchen arrives, this little black flag cannot escape."

Although he said so, the defense of the city wall did not relax in the slightest until night fell.After the darkness came, fires were lit on both sides, and the drumbeat on the opposite side continued, and so on until the middle of the night, at two o'clock, the drumbeat stopped.

The firelight pushed forward, and a horse came out first, wearing armor, holding a dark red spear, and raised a hand in front of the formation.

Both sides of the confrontation were overwhelmed by suffocation, and the silence lasted for a moment.

"Brothers of the Black Flag, Jurchen is here!"

The voice sounded.

"11 years ago, the Jurchens came to the south for the first time. Zhu Biao followed Mr. Ning and defeated the Jurchens' attack at the foot of Bianliang City, and defended Bianliang! The Jurchens defeated Bianliang's army of one million, but did not us!"

"In the past 11 years, from Bianliang to Xiaocanghe, to Liangshan and now. I have seen Jurchens defeat countless armies, I have seen them slaughter countless Han people, kill our parents and occupy our land! Many people kneel It's - the person opposite is kneeling! We - have never kneeled before!"

"This morning, the person above said loudly to us, hehe, they are four times as big as us, haha, there are strong cannons, hahahahahahaha-"

In the darkness, countless laughter sounded and spread.

"What is a group of kneeling people? Let the ghosts who are dying in the city of Bianliang tell them! How many soldiers did the Jurchens use to defeat 100 million people in the city of Bianliang! Let the corpses of the Xiaocang River full of mountains and valleys tell them, no The intervention of the Jurchens, 100 million people are nothing! But the Jurchens did not defeat us. In the northwest, we killed their military god Wanyan Loushi. In Yanzhou City, we personally beheaded the heads of those who could not lose their words! "

"This is the place where the adults fight, and the place where you live and die! I told them, but they didn't listen! Brothers, these bony heads accidentally blocked the front."

The air has tightened, and the silence has fallen. Zhu Biao turned his head and cast his eyes on the city wall, and then the drums roared.

"Everyone has-"

boom--

"—Stamp them to death!!!"

The shouting came like a tide. Above the city wall, Feng Qize stared at this scene with wide eyes.

"crazy……"

Then he turned around.hysteria.

"Guard the city—"

The sound of cannons rang out in the dark night, and exploded continuously in the dark, arrows fell from top to bottom, countless firelights rose from bottom to top, cloud ladders were set up towards the city wall, and hook ropes flew under the launch of giant crossbows. .Feng Qize drew his long sword, shouted "Guard the city", and whispered as he walked: "Crazy." "Mother's madman." He patrolled the city wall for a while, then looked back suddenly alertly, and followed his guards for a while. It was terrifying, but Feng Qize just glanced at him, and then walked forward with gritted teeth.

"Send that Lu Ming is optimistic about the key points of the defending city. If anyone changes, he will kill without mercy! The military team will cheer me up!"

"There must be deceit, there must be deceit, there must be a combination of inside and outside..."

"...Second brother, take someone to Lu Ming's place to protect him... watch him!"

The situation of the siege became extremely intense at the first moment. Feng Qize inspected and predicted the places he missed.However, the real pressure is on the front line of defending the city. At this moment, the soldiers on the city feel the same fierce offensive as when the Jurchen attacked Bianliang. In the dark night, the forward of the Huaxia Army followed the sling Crazy up, the soldiers on the city wall experienced a half-day of anxiety, drum harassment, and the high pressure and paranoia of the military team. Before they had time to change the defense for the second time, the siege lasted less than a quarter of an hour. On the south side of the city defense, there were three soldiers. The vanguard of the Black Flag Army climbed to the city.

The vanguard who had experienced the bloody battle at Xiao Canghe held his shield and swung his sword towards the soldiers guarding the city. In the dark of night, the killing god who climbed the city was covered in flesh and blood. After a while, two more people came up from the cloud ladder behind.Feng Qize led the soldiers towards the rescue. Before they approached, the city wall in front was blocked by the soldiers, and the rockets were still rising under the city. Feng Qize shouted: "Push them up and kill them!"

Someone shouted: "No retreat! Those who retreat will be killed without mercy—"

The situation at this end was slightly resisted, and at the other end, Zhu Biao and Guan Sheng stepped onto the city wall. As the leaders of the black flag at this time, the city-burning spear's ascent to the city was particularly obvious. Countless arrows flew over, and Zhu Biao held the spear in one hand. Holding a large shield in one hand, he shoved violently towards the front, and Guan Sheng rushed out of the gap, waving his long knife, and the blood light filled the air. Soon, the pioneers in the rear also followed.

The boiling slaughter spread along the two ends of the broken city wall, and pressed towards the middle.Feng Qize was hysterical and kept wielding his sword to supervise the battle. However, the soldiers under the city wall were so killed that they couldn't come up again. With the occasional roar of cannons, after a few minutes, the city wall at Linhe Ao changed hands, and the fierce killing was still going on.

In the 13th year of Wu Jinghan, that is, 11 years ago, when the Jurchen went south, Li Xizhi's troops did not move out. When they went south for the second time, they joined the Jurchen. During the battle of Xiaocanghe, Li Xizhi was located in the east. Whether they are recruits or veterans under Feng Qize's command, although they have experienced battles and even participated in the siege of Dulonggang, they have never faced an all-out attack from Jurchen or Black Banner elite level.

On the seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the Linhe Au checkpoint was missed, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled in the direction of Daming Mansion. This morning, Li Xizhi received this tingling news.

The madman of the black flag killed him desperately.
