Chapter 883: Soldiers Trapped in the Snow Path
There were about 100 soldiers guarding the north gate, but few people stood at the gate during the snowstorm, most of the soldiers slept in the tower, and only five or six soldiers were huddled in the cave, wrapped in blankets and shivering.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several drowsy Jin soldiers slowly opened their eyes, only to see more than a dozen tall and burly black figures walking into the city cave.
"Who are you?" The leading soldier asked sleepily, he hadn't woken up from his sleep.
But what answered him was a cold and shining war knife, and in a flash of cold light, the skulls of the leading soldiers fell to the ground, blood splattered out, and the pungent smell of blood quickly filled the entire city cave.
The other soldiers were stunned, but they had no chance, and a dozen soldiers rushed forward, covering their mouths, and sharp daggers cut their throats.
In just a moment, all six soldiers defending the city were killed, Yan Qing waved his hand, and more than thirty soldiers quickly rushed to the city, and several soldiers had already gone up to the city, spraying a large amount of smoke into the city tower, and more than a hundred sleeping soldiers fell into a coma completely.
At this time, Yan Qing rushed to the city with more than 30 soldiers, and Yan Qing said to a general: "Go in and kill all the enemy troops, and leave no room alive!" ”
The general immediately took twenty soldiers to cover their mouths and noses and entered the tower, and in just a moment, more than 100 Jin soldiers were all killed in a coma, and not a single living mouth was left.
The Song soldiers moved quickly, slowly pushing the frozen winch, which was connected to the iron bolt on the gate, and as the iron bolt was hoisted, the gate began to creak open, and there was no drawbridge outside, and a dozen scout soldiers hid outside the city.
"How's it going?" A scout team asked.
"Please report to the capital as soon as possible, the north city gate has been taken!"
A dozen scouts immediately lit the Illuminating Fire Stick, which was actually a kind of firework with great penetrating power, and despite the wind and snow, it could still be clearly seen from a mile away.
Li Yanqing immediately shouted: "Kill into the city!" ”
20,000 soldiers of the Song army rushed out of the pine forest like a flash flood and killed them at the north gate of the county seat a mile away.
At this time, the north gate of the county town had been controlled by the scouts sent by Li Yanqing, and Yan Qing led the five hundred men waiting outside the city to take the lead in rushing to the military camp in the city.
The barracks are located in the east of the city, almost occupy two percent of the land of the county, can garrison up to 30,000 people, the barracks are surrounded by walls, and more than a dozen sentry posts have been set up, only one gate can enter and exit, because the wind and snow are too big, there are not many defenders in front of the barracks, and there are no people on the sentry tower, and there is no point in standing guard on the sentry tower in this weather.
Yan Qing was worried about alarming the barracks too early, so he didn't do anything, but tightly controlled the five hundred soldiers outside the gate of the barracks to prevent the Jin soldiers from breaking through.
'When! While! While! The alarm bells rang throughout the city, and there was an uproar in the barracks.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, Cao Meng led 3,000 cavalry to the barracks first, he shouted, and the 3,000 cavalry rushed into the barracks like a gust of wind, and began to ruthlessly carry out a brutal killing against the Jin soldiers.......
The sky gradually brightened, the blizzard that had raged for a day and two nights finally stopped, the sun shone back on the earth, and the county seat of Luojiao began to boil, and people beat gongs and drums to welcome the return of the Song army.
The main street was full of 3,000 captured prisoners of war, each of them tied hand and foot, kneeling on the ground, their eyes full of fear and despair, surrounded by a sea of people, countless victims crying and screaming to pounce on the bound soldiers, but they were stopped.
"Kill them!" The whole city roared in anger, and the captured soldiers were so frightened that many of them collapsed on the ground, weeping bitterly and begging for mercy.
Seven thousand human heads have been stacked in the center of the square, these are the seven thousand golden soldiers killed by the Song army last night, and their heads are stacked together.
Li Yanqing stood on the high platform and said coldly to the captured soldiers: "You were all once Song soldiers and surrendered to the Jin people, if you were just to live, I would not kill you, I could let you go back to your hometown, but you have become wild beasts, slaughtering your compatriots like Jin people, raping your sisters, you are guilty of monstrous crimes, only by completely killing all of you beasts, can you protect more of the weak, I, Li Yanqing, want to use the heads of you and the Jin soldiers to tell the world, and invade my compatriots in the Great Song Dynasty, I, Li Yanqing, will be more cruel than you, blood for blood, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth! ”
After speaking, Li Yanqing shouted: "Kill!" ”
3,000 soldiers raised their sabers and slashed at the prisoners of war who were kneeling on the ground, and 3,000 heads fell to the ground, and tens of thousands of people around them screamed in amazement, but then deafening cheers erupted.
.........
When the early morning sun shone on the mountain road of Luoshui Road, the 30,000 golden soldiers suddenly burst into cheers, and the soldiers jumped up with excitement, and the wind and snow stopped, which meant that they finally had hope of survival.
Wanyan Lou Room is more anxious than the soldiers, his army can only bring five days of rations at most, he stipulated that the Han soldiers in Luojiao County must transport military rations every two days, and the dry food of the guarantee soldiers cannot be less than three days, but now that three days have passed, there is no trace of the military rations that should have been sent yesterday, and now it will take at least two days to return to Luojiao County, not to mention the heavy snowfall, the road may be more difficult, Wanyan Lou Room is especially worried about avalanches.
"Assemble and retreat now!" Before Yan Lou waited for the tent to be cleaned up, he impatiently ordered the assembly and departure order.
The Jin soldiers quickly assembled and set off, on the snow-capped mountain road, a black line more than ten miles long was advancing with difficulty, the snow was knee-deep, and every step was extremely difficult, not to mention that it was necessary to walk nearly two hundred miles to return to Luojiao County, and the Jin soldiers only had two and a half days of rations left.
At noon, there was a series of muffled thunder in the air in front of him, and the earth trembled slightly, making the golden soldiers look at each other, the sky was bright and sunny, and there were no clouds, how could there be thunder?
Wan Yan Lou's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "It's not good! ”
He thought of the most terrible thing, it must be that Song Jun was using the earth-shaking thunder to cause an avalanche, Wan Yan Lou Room suddenly turned back to look at the mountain, only to see the snow on the mountain began to roll down.
Wanyan Lou Room was so shocked that his scalp was about to explode, and he was so anxious that he shouted in a trembling voice, "It's going to be an avalanche, retreat quickly!" ”
For a while, tens of thousands of golden soldiers scrambled to be the first, the soldiers cried and screamed, trampling on each other, and groups of soldiers were constantly squeezed off the cliff, screaming in despair in the fall, and falling into the canyon a hundred feet deep.
Dozens of pro-soldiers rode in front of the road, constantly chopping the soldiers who were blocking the way, and galloped wildly on horseback with the main general.
At this time, the avalanche finally occurred in the mountain shaking caused by the explosion, the snow that was hundreds of zhang wide and about ten miles long poured downward, at this moment, people were as small as ants under the violent avalanche, in a miserable scream, the snow smashed heavily on the mountain road, and then slid down to the canyon hundreds of zhang deep, for a time the snow foam was filled, choking people could not breathe, Wan Yan Lou Room jumped off the horse, ran dozens of steps, threw himself on the snow, and closed his eyes in despair.
I don't know how long it took, Wan Yan Lou slowly opened his eyes, he was not flooded by the heavy snow, and then turned around, and found that the heavy snow was piled up more than a dozen steps behind him, and the war horse and more than 100 personal soldiers behind him disappeared, and at the same time there were more than 20,000 soldiers behind him.
At this time, several soldiers helped the frightened Wanyan Lou Room up, "General, the avalanche is over!" ”
Wan Yan Lou Room slowly stood up and looked at the army blankly, there were only seven or eight thousand people left, and the area where they stayed could only be a section of mountain road less than twenty miles wide, and the front and back were blocked by avalanches.
Wanyan Lou's heart became colder than ice and snow, and just by the earth-shattering thunder explosion, it collapsed more than ten miles of snow, so I don't know how many miles of road in front of it were flooded by heavy snow.
"Let's work together to see if we can clear the road!"
All the golden soldiers showed a look of despair in their eyes, the snow piled up on the road was at least two people high and two zhang wide, and it would take at least a day for one person to clear a pile of snow, not to mention that this was dozens of miles of snow, it was impossible at all.
At this time, a personal soldier pointed to the mountain and said: "General, if you can climb over the mountain, you may be able to find another way out!" ”
In despair, Wan Yan Lou suddenly saw a glimmer of hope, and he hurriedly shouted, "Where is Mr. Chen?" ”
At this moment, Yan Lou thought of the strategist Chen Guangzhao again, Chen Guangzhao was the only person who was familiar with the nearby terrain at present, he shouted for a while, but no one answered.
"Mr. Chen seems to have fallen off a cliff while escaping." A soldier replied in a whisper.
After Yan Lou was stunned for a while, he had to say to a dozen soldiers: "Go up to the top of the mountain and have a look!" ”
Although the snow was falling, there was still a thick layer of ice on the mountain, and it took more than a dozen soldiers more than an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, and they were stunned by the sight in the distance.
In the distance is an endless world of ice and snow, within a radius of hundreds of miles, the land is full of huge rifts, and under the snow, I don't know whether it is flat ground or huge traps, there is no way to go at all.
