Chapter 1001: Who's Count (Part II)
The city of Zhuozhou, which was ruled by the war and noise during the day, finally regained its tranquility when night fell, although the lights in the city were brilliant, almost with the stars and moon in the sky, but there were few people to be seen on the street, except for those soldiers guarding the city, almost everyone drank wine and ate meat in large pieces in the Yamen compound, enjoying this rare pleasure.
More than half a month of long-distance travel over mountains and mountains, as well as a bloody battle today, have already exhausted these tens of thousands of elites of the Golden Kingdom. Now that the big thing has been accomplished, it is natural that we need to take a good rest and treat ourselves. So, with the order of Ah Guda, all kinds of wine, meat and food in this city, which were originally only prepared for the Song army, became the food at their celebration banquet, and all the Jin soldiers could feast on this night, so uncomfortable.
Ah Guta even gathered all the generals who came with him together, raised his glass with his own hands, saluted each other again and again, and grinned so much that the corners of his mouth reached the root of his ears: "Everyone, this battle is not the end, but only the beginning." After today, we will defeat the Liao army and the Song army one by one, and then go straight to the Song Kingdom in the south, and turn all the treasures and riches, population and grain there into the things of our Dajin Kingdom!
"Originally, when the Wushu mentioned this idea, I was a little hesitant, thinking that it might not be successful. But now, I can tell everyone with certainty that this is no longer a hypothesis, but a fact! My Dajin is destined to rise, and my Jurchen clan is going to become the noblest and strongest existence in the world. What Khitans, Han people, they can only crawl at our feet, like our hounds, looking at our eyes alive!
"Come, cheers to the rise of our Dajin Kingdom and the longevity of our Jurchens!" At the end, he raised the bowl in his hand, and after signaling to all sides, he tilted his neck and drank all the wine in the bowl.
The surrounding generals of the Jin Kingdom were already excited because of this great victory, but now after listening to the generous statement of their own emperor, they were even more excited, and they all got up with wine, and shouted one after another: "Hundreds of years of humiliation have all passed, after today, my Jurchen Dajin Kingdom will definitely become the most powerful existence in this world, so that everyone will become our dogs and horses, and can only obey our orders!" After shouting, they all drank the wine in their bowls, and then laughed again, and then filled the bowls, saluted each other, and continued to drink.
Born in the white mountains and black waters, the Jin people in the bitter cold land are good at drinking, and they usually enjoy drinking when they are fine, let alone in the case of a big victory now. So tonight they drank even more frantically, and from time to time they commented on the seized wines: "Although the wine of the Song people tastes good, it is too bland, and after all, it cannot be compared with the spirits we brew, and it tastes like water." ”
"Haha, don't talk such big things, you are the worst drinker among our brothers, and if you don't drink a few more glasses, you will fall."
"Nonsense, how could such a clear drink make me drunk? I'm going to drink another jar tonight, and then I'll compare with you whose fist is harder!" As he spoke, the golden general stood up, as if he wanted to compete with his brother who was laughing at him. But when he came up, he only felt dizzy for a while, and his steps were soft and messy because of it, and his body almost fell.
At this time, it confirmed his statement that he couldn't drink enough, which caused the people around him to laugh for a while. Even the top Ah Guda laughed: "It seems that you really can't drink alcohol, and when you hit the Song Kingdom in the future, I'll prepare a few more women for you." ”
In the midst of another burst of laughter from the others, they also drank a lot of wine, and felt that the vultures in their heads were a little dizzy, but they faintly felt that something was wrong: "Why have I become so poor today?" No matter how strong the wine is on weekdays, it won't make me feel uncomfortable so quickly, and although today's wine tastes good, it is not strong enough after all, how can it be so strong, it is not ......"
This terrible thought suddenly rose from his heart, and then he looked to the side, and his heart sank even more suddenly, only to see that although everyone in the hall was still excited, both their eyes and their complexions had taken on a slightly drowsy appearance, and they were obviously about to fall down soon.
"There's something wrong with this wine! But how so? Why did the Song people put their hands and feet into their own drinks, or did they expect this day in the morning, so they prepared so many drinks for us early? The uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, but the whole brain is getting heavier and heavier, trying to dissuade others from drinking more, but the words are no longer spoken.
In the end, Wanyan Wushu, like everyone else, lay on his desk and fell into a coma after a period of dizziness. Since then, more people in the hall have fallen, even Ah Guta, who fell asleep.
At the same time, at the north gate of Zhuozhou, the soldiers who stayed here kept looking at the brightly lit and jubilant place in the city with envy, wishing that they could participate in it, instead of staying at the head of the city and doing nothing like now.
This made the soldiers completely absent-minded, and they didn't even pay attention to any movement under the city, and naturally it was impossible to find that in the darkness in the distance, a large number of people and horses were constantly approaching Zhuozhou.
This is a Song army, the first is Sun Tu, at this time his eyes flashed with a strange light, constantly using a telescope to check the situation in Zhuozhou City, more than ten miles away, and at the same time stretched out his hand to feel the movement of the wind tonight, and said something in his mouth: "God really helps me." Unexpectedly, there was a rare north wind in summer tonight, so that all the conditions were ripe, and it was just right to annihilate all these golden people! ”
At this point, he jerked his head back, "Where is the scout camp?" Is everything ready? ”
Someone in the army who had already stopped quickly whispered back: "General, everything is ready, just waiting for your order." ”
"Then light the fire and take off!" Sun Tu gave a decisive order, and at the same time said to Dong Ping on the side: "Later, you will command the army to besiege the city on all sides." If the Jin people are not hit and escape from the city when the fire starts, it will be up to you to surround it with a large army, and you must complete the battle, but you can't let the Jin people escape! ”
"General, what about you?" Dong Ping said with a surprised face.
"Naturally, I'm going to act with the scout battalion, how can this kind of killing of the enemy be without my Sun Tu?" Sun Tu said, without waiting for his subordinates to dissuade him, he had already strode to the rear, and walked to the strange huge bamboo baskets.
After seeing Sun Tu, who was the chief general, enter the bamboo basket first, the soldiers and soldiers of the scout camp beside him no longer flinched or worried, and all followed each other into the bamboo basket. Then, as the light of the fire lit up, the roar of machinery that should not have belonged to this era resounded in the night.
As the sound continued to expand, the thing hidden in the darkness on the side of the bamboo basket began to reveal its shape - at first, it seemed to be a piece of cloth, but slowly, it bulged again, like a pig's urine bubble, bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally it bloomed like a huge mushroom twenty miles away from Zhuozhou City, and then suddenly soared, and these "mushrooms" slowly floated upward.
All the Song soldiers watched this spectacle with awe-struck, and even though they had seen such a strange artifact several times before, they were still in awe of it, just because it would make changes that no one could believe would be.
In a suppressed whisper, accompanied by the "mushroom" in the air, the bamboo basket containing more than a dozen people below actually swayed and floated, beginning to rise towards the sky, and finally higher and higher, except for that little firelight, everything has been integrated with the night sky.
These strange things that could carry more than a dozen Song soldiers into the air and go straight towards Zhuozhou at a speed that was not too fast were the large number of hot air balloons that Sun Tu found from the warehouse system!
Hot air balloons are not an unusual thing in the future generations, and some large enterprises and shopping malls will put some in the air when they want to hold any celebrations, or carry people, or pull out horizontal bars to play a wide publicity effect. But when this thing crossed thousands of years of time and space and appeared in the Great Song Dynasty, its role was infinitely magnified, and it became the biggest hole card in Sun Tu's hand.
At this moment, Sun Tu, who was standing in the bamboo basket, had a calm face, his eyes had fallen straight to Zhuozhou City in front of him, and his mouth kept issuing orders: "Go to the right so that you can borrow this wind." Yes, we can turn the fire down so that the balloon can float towards the city ahead as we intended. Remember, when we get to the top of the city, we need to stop ourselves at a proper height before setting this fire, so as not to be shot down by the bows and arrows of the Jin army defending the city. ”
The soldiers beside him were not as calm as him, and although they kept agreeing, the movements of their hands seemed quite tense and stiff. Even though they had flown many times before, the experience of flying like birds in the sky still gave them a very unreal feeling, as if they were worried that they might fall from the sky at any moment.
Fortunately, they have enough trust in Sun Tu, and at the same time, they are all the most elite scout battalion soldiers in the Shandong Army, so even if they are in the air, they are not completely confused, and they continue to act according to Sun Tu's instructions, and control this hot air balloon to slowly float forward.
As he approached Zhuozhou, Sun Tu's heartbeat began to accelerate, and he also had words in his mouth: "Victory or defeat is in this battle, and the key to this battle is whether my strange army can burn Zhuozhou and burn the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom in this city!" After finishing Yan Wushu, even if you are shrewd and calculating, you will never think that your so-called plan will be used by me, and in the end, you still fell for my plan to lure the enemy deep and trap yourself in this Zhuozhou city! In half an hour, victory will be mine! ”
It turned out that all the countermeasures of the Jin army were all expected by Sun Tu, so there was Lu Longsai's accident, and there was a scene where Sun Tu led the main force of the Shandong army to attack Zhuozhou at night tonight.
And all of this, in the final analysis, all came from the Fuzi laid by Sun Tu in the early years......
