choke element

Chapter 1
Guo Ning felt as cold as ice all over his body, and his back was in sharp pain.

He coughed several times before spitting out the mud and blood that almost covered his mouth and nose.

As he panted, the water in front of him swayed, and the shattered ice balls collided with each other, making a slight noise.

There was a howling wind.Where the wind blows, it gets colder and colder.In the sound of the wind, there was a vague moan of pain, and there was a dull sound of a sharp weapon slashing into the human body.

This voice made Guo Ning suddenly nervous.He subconsciously used his arms to support the body that was lying in the water.

This movement made the pain in his back more intense, as if something hot was stirring between his muscles and bones.Those were two arrows, and the arrow clusters penetrated deeply into the flesh.Fortunately, the internal organs should not be hurt.

Guo Ning felt that he probably had a long dream and only woke up now.When I woke up, I was a little confused, and I didn't know which one was real.

However, when he turned around a little bit and saw the jumbled bodies in the water, and saw the blood gurgling from the terrible wounds covering the entire pond, he confirmed that all of this is absolutely true Yes, not a dream.

A few zhang away was a big man with a beard walking back and forth on the edge of the water.

This person was dressed in light leather armor with a large round-necked military robe inside, with a bow on his back, a quiver at his waist, and a blood-stained blade in his hand.

The sound of slashing and slashing with a knife that Guo Ning heard just now was the man making up the knife.

Most of the dead fell to the ground with arrows in the back.Several people were still alive, but after being slashed by the big man with a knife, their hands and feet twitched a few times, and they were silent.

At this time, Guo Ning struggled to get up, attracting the attention of the big bearded man.

He was taken aback at first, showing a terrified expression; then, he noticed Guo Ning's weak movements, and saw that the arrow stuck behind Guo Ning was still shaking, and there were strands of blood running along Guo Ning's body. Flow into the water.

So he cheered up and walked ferociously.

Guo Ning put his hands on his knees and barely stood up straight.Unsteady on his footsteps, the big man stabbed Guo Ning in the chest with a short knife, with a vicious force.

It's a pity that it was too hard and full of flaws.

Guo Ning turned sideways slightly, the dagger missed and swiped across his ribs.

His left hand grasped the big man's knife-holding wrist like iron pincers, pulled back vigorously, and strode forward with the force of the pull.

Before the big man had time to react, his eyes went dark, and Guo Ning punched him hard on his face.The big man staggered and was about to fight back, but Guo Ning had already grabbed the dagger and swung it with his hands.

The short knife pierced the big man's neck on the right side, and then wiped the throat down the left side, until the sharp blade hit the left shoulder blade.

The blood vessels in the throat of the bearded man were severed.There was a slight hiss of blood, spattering from the gaping flesh.The sticky blood sprayed onto Guo Ning's face, and then flowed down, making him feel a little warm.

The big man stared at Guo Ning, opened his mouth, but only a few blood bubbles gushed out of his throat.The next moment, his eyes were distracted, his body swayed and fell down.

Guo Ning also staggered a little.The two simple movements almost exhausted his accumulated strength; before his eyes, it was as if gold stars were flying, and the sky was spinning.

But that big bearded man still has accomplices.

The moment Guo Ning swung the knife, the reeds scrambled, and the other two rushed in, stepping on the knee-high water.Seeing the blood splattered from the throat of the bearded man, the two of them were startled and angry.

One of them yelled loudly and drew his knife and ran.The other person slowed down a little, and opened his bow and arrow at twenty paces away.

Guo Ning didn't have time to dodge, but only had time to stretch out his right arm suddenly.

There was only a "hum" sound, and Guo Ning held the long arrow tightly in his hand, and the shaft of the arrow was still twisting and trembling, just like a fish out of water.

The man used a light bow that was less than five buckets, and because of his panic, the bow was only half-drawn, and the movement of firing the arrow was not standard at all.

But the arrows are the heavy arrows used by the Jurchens, which are very long and heavy.A cluster of sharp arrows six or seven inches long pierced Guo Ning's palm, and blood spattered everywhere.

While grabbing the arrow, Guo Ning leaned over and squatted down, took out a bow from the bearded man, nocked the arrow and shot.This movement has already gone through thousands of trials, and he didn't need to aim at all, the long arrow whized through the air.

The man with the knife who rushed forward was shot in the forehead by an arrow.As the arrow pierced his head, he fell into the water without making a sound.

Guo Ning took out the second arrow from the quiver of the bearded man.

The person holding the bow behind him was not slow, and he had already taken the second arrow in his hand.But when he saw this situation, he didn't dare to confront Guo Ningfang, he only trembled his lips and forced a smile: "Liu Lang! We have something to talk about..."

Before he finished speaking, an arrow appeared on his forehead, and he died immediately.

After firing two arrows in a row, Guo Ning's heart beat like a drum, and his whole body was cold.

I can't stand it anymore.

He supported his body with a bow, trying to hide in the depths of the swamp, but it didn't take long before he fell down in the reeds and passed out again.

When I woke up this time, it was already dark.

It seemed that no other enemies came except those three who were slain.What a fluke.

The moisture from the ground came up through the reeds, chilling the bone marrow, making the body stiff.

Guo Ning laughed hoarsely, and moved his arms slowly. After a while, he held the knife behind his back, and cut down the skin and flesh against the exposed arrow shaft, trying to remove the arrow clusters.

This movement is a bit awkward, and it is inevitable to stir the arrow clusters stuck between the muscles and bones of the back.He was covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth ferociously, and let out a few muffled grunts from time to time.

When the two long arrows left the body one after another, Guo Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

It has been a long time since he left the army, but he still habitually wears a military uniform with a collar and narrow sleeves.Under the military uniform, there is another piece of leather armor.

The leather armor is not a good item, there are many holes on the surface, and many places have been soaked and rotted, exuding a rotten smell.Fortunately, the person who attacked him during the day was not a good player, and his bow strength was not enough.The power of the arrow is weakened by the leather armor, so although the wound loses a lot of blood, it is not fatal.

However, the action of pulling out the arrow cluster widened the wound a bit, and the action was slightly violent, and it hurt like a convulsion.

Now, I really can't do anything with people.

Guo Ning tore off his skirt, simply wrapped up the bleeding wound, then climbed the old tree beside him, straightened his waist and looked around.

In the early spring, the ice and snow are not sold out.Under the cool moonlight, you can see the water surface of the swamp and the bright white thin ice on the vegetation.

The dense reeds and shrubs are stretching, and the vastness does not see the edge.In the distance to the north, a steep embankment or river bank can be seen faintly, and it is also overgrown with miscellaneous trees, which are connected with the reeds and shrubs in the low-lying places.

There was no sign of enemy activity.

Guo Ning walked back in the direction of the fight during the day.

After walking a few steps, there was the sound of dead branches breaking not far away, Guo Ning's body bent down, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

After a while, a few crows fluttered across the sky, landed on another row of branches, and began to croak.So he moved on.

I should have concentrated my energy on guarding my surroundings, and then thought about how to face the predicament in front of me, but with the sound of light footsteps, Guo Ning's thoughts began to become chaotic.The dream I had when I fainted last time was not only not blurred, but became clearer and clearer.

In the dream, Guo Ning has lived thousands of years later and has seen all kinds of unimaginable things.Those are so much fun.

Guo Ning thought, maybe that dream was real?I am really a person of later generations, but I just traveled to the second year of Chongqing and woke up on a golden soldier?
right?I'm Guo Liulang from Changzhou Wushabao, right?Everything I have experienced in this world is also very clear, right?
After thinking 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 made Guo Ning gain insight.Let him know that the current situation he is in is just the beginning of troubled times, and the future will be much scarier and bloodier than the present!
Originating in a corner of the northeast, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, which once shocked the world with its roughness, barbarism and majesty, has gradually shown signs of decline in recent years.

The year before last, that is, at the end of August in the third year of Da'an, the Jin army and the Mongolian army fought in Yehuling.

Most of Guo Ning's clan, relatives, and Pao Ze brothers in this life were not involved in this battle.As a result, he himself was exiled to Ansu Prefecture within the Great Wall.

After the war, the Mongolian army ran rampant in the Central Plains and the interior of the Jin Dynasty. As far as the soldiers could reach, they crossed the Liaohe River from Linhuang in the north, Xin and Dai in the southwest, and Heshuo and Zhongdu in the east.The ferocious beasts entrenched on the Mongolian plateau began to protrude their minions beyond the plateau.

Last year, that is, the first year of Chongqing, the Mongolian army once again broke into the Central Plains. At one time, they took the central capital directly with partial divisions and attacked the city with all means. Once again suffered terrible devastation.

And these are just the beginning!
Guo Ning frowned and thought about it carefully.

Memories from another life poured into Guo Ning's mind like a tide.Those plain narrations and simple numbers merged with what he saw and heard in this world, and they merged into a sea of ​​corpses and blood, which made him stop suddenly, almost breathless.

After a long while, he sighed deeply, and cursed: "This shitty world!"

　Note 1: Ansu Prefecture, now in the east of Xushui County, Hebei Province.

Note 2: The Jin Army's "bow is only as strong as seven fights, and the arrow is extremely long".In contrast, in the first year of Xining, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, "an imperial edict promulgated the teaching and review method for all armies in Hebei: all bows are divided into three classes, nine-dou is the first, eight-dou is the second, and seven-dou is the third."
