Head of the city of Vaud.

The cold wind roared at the head of the city, and the knife blew against the human body, and when the mouth was opened, the smell of rust-like blood poured out of the throat, and the sound of shouting and killing was like thunder, boiling over the entire battlefield. The figure came in, the iron rod in his hand, hit the human head, and the body of nearly two hundred catties was like a wild boar rushing in the mountains, falling down with a bang, and the sound of the skull hitting the bluestone was dull and infiltrating, mixed with countless sounds.

Arrows flew, and in the ice and snow, there was smoke and fire on the city walls, and the soldier threw a huge log down the city, and a stone flew across the sky, suddenly enlarged on one side of the field of vision, and he dragged a soldier to the side, and the splashed stone chips hit the face painfully, and the vision became shaky in the loud noise. Shi Jin shook his head, got up from the ground, grabbed a spear in his hand, and ran towards the two Jurchen soldiers who rushed to the head of the city.

His vision and balance had not yet been restored due to the stone, and he stabbed the spear several times before he pierced a Jurchen soldier in the chest. The Jurchen man was burly, as strong as a bison, holding the gun and refusing to let go, another Jurchen warrior had already pounced from the side, Shi Jin shouted, with a shot of strength in his hand, the gun was shattered into wood chips, and a stride over, and the heavy hand slashed down at the Jurchen's head, and the man's body fell to the city wall.

The Jurchen warriors who were killing on the side pounced, held the knife and slashed back, and before he turned around, Shi Jin's body had already rushed up, opened his bloody mouth, and half of the gun in his hand pierced into his neck, and a thick blood burst out with a pop. The Jurchen warrior retreated in struggle, and as Shi Jin pulled out the barrel of his gun, he fell in a pool of blood under the female wall, silent.

Shi Jin turned around and retrieved his weapon, and not far from the field of vision, in the corner of the city wall, there were already more than a dozen Jurchen soldiers rushing up, the soldiers defending the city kept retreating in the battle, and some generals were shouting loudly, Shi Jin clenched the iron rod in his hand and rushed over there.

"Don't retreat—kill them—"

Countless hoarse shouts converged into a tidal wave of battle, and as far as the eye could see, the besieging soldiers were still in three groups in the snowfield below, constantly rushing. In the snow in the distance, raised in the siege camp was the banner of the Jurchen generals Shuliesu.

On the eighth day of the twelfth month, the traditional Laba Festival, this is already the second time that the soldiers of the Calla have attacked Vaud.

The city defense is in danger.

And not long before that. On the border of Fenzhou south of Taiyuan City, the army of King Jin experienced a huge defeat, and more than 400,000 people were broken, retreated south, and fled. In the chaotic message, Tian Shi, the king of Jin who drove the expedition, was scattered and his whereabouts were unknown.

……

Frozen.

Countless people walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Tian Shi wore a black fashion, and the soldiers around him supported each other and walked south. After a huge defeat, he fled overnight, and at this time he only felt cold and hot on his body, but he hadn't told the people around him yet. Every now and then, he would turn around and shout a few words to the crowd behind him.

Naturally, he had a horse, but he didn't ride it at this time. It is said that a good general should share weal and woe with the soldiers around him, and when he was in a big war, he never had such a style, but now that he has lost the war, he feels that as a prince, he should set such an example, and he doesn't know if it is useless at the time.

He didn't know how many soldiers were following him, and there were many things he should have thought about, but his thoughts couldn't be condensed, and at some point, Tian Shi felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell down to the snow......

……

Wasion, the atmosphere is solemn.

The procession of horse-drawn carriages drove through the long street to the Tianji Palace at one end of the city.

Lou Shuwan was in the carriage with lights and candles, looking at a huge map, and the news of King Jin's disappearance had reached here at the fastest speed at this time. She pressed her mind and searched for the traces of various armies on the map that had already been marked and drawn, and summarized the possibilities of the current situation.

As soon as the war appears, the military information will be transmitted to the centers of various forces as quickly as possible, and when she can receive the news, it means that others have also received the information, and at this time, she must stabilize the situation of the entire center.

The carriage was enclosed all around, and in the light of the candles, the eyes of the woman who had not rested since yesterday were red, but she still widened her eyes. Suddenly, the body of the carriage jolted, Lou Shuwan reached out to hold the lamp, and heard a shouting voice outside: "Kill ...... That bitch ......"

"Chicken Si Chen, disaster to the country and the people......"

"Traitors, sluts—"

"Keep your eyes open......"

"Used—"

"Sin deserves to be killed—"

……

Chaotic shouts mingled, You Hongzhuo held his breath, pulled out his long knife, and walked towards the front of the room, faster and faster......

The vibration of the floor was heard by a burst of footsteps in the next room. The light of the window became brighter and brighter, You Hongzhuo leaped out, and someone from the next window also rushed out, and a red gun in his hand was also aimed at the convoy below. You Hongzhuo's long knife was raised, and the brush was thrown into the air, and the other party looked at him in surprise.

Brush.

The white-haired, long-haired head flew into the sky. You Hongzhuo fell to the ground, and the crowd that rushed out was shouting, and he rushed towards those Green Forest Assassins with a blade.

"Protect the woman!"

"Damn it—"

"You don't listen to the Dragon King!"

Murderous -

……

"What's going on?" Lou Shuwan asked, but it was probably clear in her heart.

"There are assassins, and there are people who are here to protect you. Lou adults, we ......."

"......" Lou Shuwan quietly listened to the mixed sounds outside, perhaps because she had been burned by the firelight for too long, her eyes were slightly warm, and then she reached out and wiped her mouth and nose vigorously, "Leave a team of people to catch the assassins, and we will continue to the imperial city." ”

"Yes."

The carriage began to move again, leaving the fighting on the entire long street to continue.

……

Linzhou City, another round of siege warfare is continuing, the siege of the city is the most elite Ming Wang army under the command of Wang Juyun, due to the haste of the attack, the siege equipment is quite insufficient, but under the leadership of Wang Juyun himself, the whole battle is still extremely tragic.

Linzhou originally belonged to Zhangde, similar to Vaud, and was also one of the cities on the edge of the northeast power of the Jin Dynasty, and the general Li Chengzhong, who defended Linzhou, led more than 37,000 troops, and announced four days ago that he would change his flag and take refuge in the Dajin Wangshi. Defeated all the way, Wang Juyun, who led his elite to the vicinity, was desperate and forcibly attacked the city, wanting to break through Linzhou before the arrival of Jurchen reinforcements, so as to make an example.

The losses are enormous.

The defending army of Linzhou City was not having a good time. Although the Jurchen prostitution has been hanging over everyone's heads for more than ten years, and now that the army is pressing, the surrender has not encountered too great resistance, but of course it cannot boost too high morale. During the attack and defense between the two sides, Li Chengzhong also ran to the city and constantly cheered for the defending army.

"Defend the walls! The army of the Kingdom of Jin will be coming soon......"

"Admiral Dajin Wanyan Saba led the army to come, and he only needs to guard one more day! One more day—"

Wanyan Saba's army was indeed on the way to come, Wang Juyun's army attacked on three days, but did not capture the city defense, and the morale of the attacking and defending sides gradually disappeared. In the afternoon of that day, a flag appeared on the southeast side of the city.

Saba's army must have come from the north, so should it be reinforcements from the Jin king's forces, or should the Jurchen East Route Army have already decided on the name and sent reinforcements? Li Chengzhong ran to the east of the city wall, and then saw an army appear in the field of vision, and the color of the banner was very clear on the snowy ground......

"Who...... How could it be...... How can it be a black ......"

The black flag is spreading in this direction......

*****************

The winter of Wu Jianshuo's ninth year. Heavy snow gradually froze the land north of the Yangtze River, but the fighting north of the Yellow River did not stop for a moment from the beginning.

In September and October, the Jurchen armies of the eastern and western routes successively fought against the enemy in front of them. The Eastern Route Army quickly compressed the battle situation in the area of the Daimyo's Mansion, but the stubborn resistance of the Western Route had just begun at this time.

From Yanmen Pass to the ruins of Taiyuan, the resistance of Wang Juyun and Tian Shi came one after another, and after being scattered, they continued to gather, and millions of troops gathered or dispersed, as if they were constantly consuming the will of the Jurchen army with water grinding kung fu. However, as the most outstanding veterans of the founding generation of Dajin, Zong Han and Xi Yin continued to defeat this wave of attacks, and by the end of October, the division of the Shulie Speed Leader was across Vaud, and with the cooperation of generals such as Yinshuke, Bali Su, and Saba, there were one problem after another for the oncoming forces.

The first attack on Vaud, under the stubborn resistance of the defenders of Vaud and many civilian forces such as Lin Zongwu and Shi Jin, was finally delayed until Yu Yulin's army came south to relieve the siege. In November, the battle in the snow and ice was only slightly slower than in other seasons, and the successive defeats of Wang Juyun, Tian Shi, Yu Yulin and others caused the troops on the front line to continue to decrease. The list goes on and on and for the defeated soldiers to retreat south, surrender, and even freeze to death in the snow with large forces on the run.

Although at the beginning of the war, the leaders of Wang Juyun and the King of Jin had determined that this was a war of attrition with continuous defeat, but after more than a month of attrition, despite the previous preparations for the worst, the military spirit and strength of the two armies still fell to a low point.

On the third day of December, Li Chengzhong and Linzhou City announced the surrender of the Jurchens, which led to a sudden change in the whole situation, and the 400,000 army led by Tian Shi was defeated and fled in the face of Xiyin's attack. And Wang Juyun, who was constantly routing and fleeing south, could only gather more than 30,000 elites at hand for a while, and at the first time he raised his forces to attack Linzhou, hoping to suppress this already upturned deck before the whole ship sank.

At the same time, the army of Surrep turned back and attacked Vaud again. And a small army led by Saba went towards Linzhou, and Yinshu Ke and pulled out the rate army to rush to the middle of the road, wanting to attack the hinterland of the Jin King's territory.

In the short period of time when Tian Shi was suspected of being killed, the entire territory of King Jin was about to collapse. On the afternoon of the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Huaxia army team led by Zhu Biao crossed a distance of hundreds of miles in the urgency of Zhan Wu and others on the Weisheng side, and arrived at the city of Linzhou after completing Yan Sa Ba in one step.

On the same day, Linzhou was captured.

The leader of the rebellion, Li Chengzhong, killed himself before the city was broken, and the rest of the generals involved in the rebellion, along with their families, were dragged up the city wall and beheaded.

However, the whole situation is still unraveling. On this night, the city defenses of Vaud were breached, and Shi Jin continued to fight on the city walls, almost dying of exhaustion. Then the army defending the city opened the gates of the city, and the people of the city fled south. The defender of Vaud ordered Xiao Yuan to block the Jurchen offensive in front and try to start a period of street fighting, thinking that the people who fled south were delaying time, but the military spirit was close to the bottom line, Yu Xiaoyuan led his own soldiers to rush to the front twice in order to boost morale, and fought in person, and then was shot by the Jurchen's flying arrows.

The defenders of Vaud fled in chaos, the Jurchens were slaughtered, and Shi Jin and his comrades-in-arms were also coerced and fought and retreated. By the end of the night, the people who had escaped and survived looked back in the direction of Vaud, and the whole sky had been set on fire, and the massacre was going on.

Shi Jin stood on the foothills of the mountain in the dim light, and a moist breath fell from his face.

The boy has tears and does not flick, it may be the blood flowing on his body, in this ice and snow, it will lose its temperature in a moment.

There were many people around him, and there were more people than after the dissolution of Chifeng Mountain.

Although he knew that he did not have the ability to control the army, the reputation of the eight-armed dragon king was still somewhat useful after all, and after the first Vaud State Guard War, he still ran around to kill those Jurchen spies and Han scum. During the war, Lou Shuwan, who was far away in Weisheng, had suffered a lot of assassinations, she killed too many people, and she was a woman, and the outside world portrayed her as ruthless and vicious, and some people with a heart scolded her as a traitor, a poisonous woman who wanted to help the Jurchens bring down the foundation of the King of Jin and wanted to make the people miserable.

Shi Jin also spoke out in the green forest to correct Lou Shuwan's name, and after a month of disseminating these messages, many people were finally moved, and Weisheng spontaneously began to run for Lou Shuwan's name, and even stood opposite the assassin in the outbreak of assassination to protect Lou Shuwan's safety.

Shi Jin, who was fighting in Vaud, had no way of knowing the situation of Weisheng, and with the destruction of the city of Vaud, what he saw in his eyes was the most tragic scene of the slaughter. For more than ten years, he fought all the way, but he was also defeated all the way, and this defeat seemed endless, but again, he still did not die. He just thought: Vaud City is gone, Brother Lin has been here for more than ten years, and it is gone, Mu Anping has not been found, and when the little child who has lost his parents returns here, he will not see anything.

He went to the city to the south and continued the battle.

The snow sometimes falls and sometimes stops, and the fighting continues to spread in the heavy snow. South of the Yellow River, the wandering hungry ghosts were also surging in the snow, causing some trouble to the Jurchen army heading south, and some small-scale grain transport teams were completely swallowed up by the hungry ghosts, but as the cold deepened, the hungry ghosts were also dying one by one. Only the hungry ghost group near Xuzhou was still panting in the wind and snow.

Daimyo's house. The soldiers defending the city also gradually decreased in the cold weather, and the most intense siege of the Jurchens was in the first month, when a large number of attrition occurred, and some of the seriously wounded did not survive the winter. The 30,000 Jurchen elites and 200,000 Han troops led by Wan Yanchang also grinded away the lives and spirits of the soldiers defending the city every day. By December, after careful counting, there were still about 30,000 sabers defending the city with nearly 50,000 at the beginning, and most of them had been wounded.

After all, the ice and snow suppressed the strength of the Jurchens to attack the city, Wang Shanyue and Xue Changgong still stood on the city wall every day, cheering up the soldiers every day, for the residents in the city, Wang Shanyue occasionally sent people to send food relief, and also preached the spirit of resistance to the people, but because the snow was deep, such a thing could not be carried out vigorously.

The siege tents outside the city are connected into an ocean. They are waiting for spring to come. Spring is the season of life for all things, but whether it is Wang Shanyue, Xue Changgong, Shi Jin, Lou Shuwan, Tian Shi, Zhu Biao, or Ning Yi in the southwest, they can all know that the spring of the tenth year of Wu Jianshuo and the thirteenth year of Jin Tianhui is not the season of life.

It was the season of burial, and in the midst of a heavy snowfall, it came day by day.
