Great time travel

Chapter 31, God's Soldiers Descended from Heaven to Xiangzhou City

When the floating castle "Third New Tokyo" was approaching by the wind, the Song Army stationed in Xiangzhou did not notice the arrival of this unexpected guest at all.

The setting sun at dusk falls on the ancient city wall, reflecting a mottled halo.Curls of cooking smoke fluttered over the city, showing a quiet and serene atmosphere.Xiangzhou City in the twilight is so quiet and peaceful, and there are not many traces of the cruelty of the war.

——Although the continuous war between the Jin State and the Song State has caused terrible damage to the rich countryside in Hebei, every time the Jin army goes south, it goes straight in and never sticks to the competition for one city and one place. Therefore, the states of Hebei The largest cities, as long as they are not on the attack route of the Jin army, are basically intact for the time being - although in the mouth of the Bianliang court master and the dispatched officials, these places are already regarded as occupied areas.

Therefore, many of the soldiers of the Song army stationed in Xiangzhou have not really seen the golden soldiers until now, and their combat effectiveness and discipline are not very countable... Although the soldiers on the top of the city are still standing guard, they are still standing guard. Basically, they have already started whispering or dozing off.

On the south gate tower of Xiangzhou, several Forbidden Army soldiers wearing light paper armor and holding spears were rubbing their hands in the cold wind while chatting with each other. No one noticed the floating castle at the end of the sky—the floating castle at this time The empty city is still too far away, it is just an inconspicuous black dot when viewed from the top of the city.And limited to the knowledge of the people of the Song Dynasty, they had no idea that someone would come from the sky.

"...Hey, old man Zhang sneaked away to go to Widow Liu's shop below for fun, let us suffer in the cold wind here..."

"...Is there any way, who made that guy's niece become Wang Xiaowei's concubine... Erhu, save me a drink! Hiccup~~ I really can't stand it without a few sips in this damn weather, The cold has penetrated into the bones... Fortunately, the control here is loose..."

"...Hey, I think besides drinking, you must also want to find a woman to have fun with, right? By the way, I haven't been to Yihong Courtyard for almost a month. So, isn't that loose under the skirt..."

Seeing that it was almost time for the shift change, the defenders gathered in several circles on the city wall, drinking and chatting idly. After taking a few sips of wine, they began to complain casually about the latest troubles, and then the topic gradually changed. When it comes to women, all kinds of naughty jokes and pornographic jokes keep coming, making the atmosphere more and more heated...Although everyone still lowered their voices to prevent the conversation from being heard by those who shouldn't, the atmosphere It has indeed been instigated.And some people who shouldn't have heard it have actually heard it...

Seeing these forgetful guys, the horse soldiers who had just been punished and sent to patrol the city were headed to Yue Fei, so he shook his head helplessly and melancholy, then turned around and looked at the snow-covered wilderness outside the city wall, exhaling a large cloud of white moist mist.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the slack style of his colleagues, Yue Fei also knew that there was also a reason why they were so confident and blatantly slipped out of the post. The Jin soldiers were almost empty, and the last remaining field army of the Jurchens was still thousands of miles away in the old Liao territory and the area around Yanjing, and it was impossible to fight Xiangzhou in a short time.

Therefore, although there are constant wars in Hebei right now, it is actually Song people who are killing Song people, and there are hardly a few Jurchen Tartars.Those small groups of "rebels" active in the wilderness, or rogue bandits, at best dared to show their power in villages and small towns that lacked defenses, and occasionally robbed the Jin Army and Song Army's transport team.But in Xiangzhou City, which has tens of thousands of armored soldiers, none of the thieves dared to offend.

Since Xiangzhou is safe and secure, the defenders, who had been nervous for a long time before, naturally relaxed a lot.Now being forced by their superiors to guard the city wall against the wind and snow, their boss is already dissatisfied.If military discipline is still as strict as it was during the war, with severe punishments at every turn... Believe it or not, we packed up our bags and went home before we got tattooed on our faces, so we won't serve you big lords anymore?
In the Great Song Dynasty, where culture was highly valued over martial arts, unless there was no other way, which seven-foot man would be willing to serve as a soldier in a lowly manner?
After lamenting the neglect of his colleagues, Yue Fei recalled his ups and downs in a sullen mood.

He is a native of Tangyin County, Xiangzhou. He was originally Zhuang Ding of the Han family in Xiangzhou. His family has been farming for generations, and his status is humble.But Yue Fei has been gifted since he was a child, with astonishing divine power. He can open a three-hundred-jin bow and an eight-stone crossbow. He wants to join the army and serve the country, and make a name for himself on the battlefield.

However, Yue Fei's road to joining the army was not smooth. Counting this time now, he has joined the army for the third time, and had no choice but to return home twice. He was demobilized and returned home; the second time was when the army station was captured by the Jin army. He broke through the siege amidst the turmoil, and managed to escape back to his hometown in Tangyin.Later, someone recruited soldiers in Xiangzhou. Yue Fei was already disheartened and wanted to die in his hometown.But his old mother strongly urged him to try again, and tattooed the words "serving the country with loyalty" on his back as an encouragement.

This time, Yue Fei's luck seems to have improved a little bit: as soon as he enlisted in the army, he was valued by the chief because of his sharp shooting skills. Head" small official position.But before he had time to find any opportunity to show his martial arts, his troops marched into Xiangzhou and accepted the reorganization of the Generalissimo's Mansion of Hebei Bingma, and Yue Fei's immediate boss also changed... It didn't take long for the upright Yue Fei to die because of Speak badly, contradict the new boss, and be thrown to the city wall to blow the cold wind.

Such an embarrassing punishment certainly made Ma Jun's colleagues laugh.But although Yue Fei is young, he has encountered a lot of ups and downs in these years, and his character has been polished to a very calm state, so he doesn't care about it and takes it calmly.

What really worries him right now is the next move of the tens of thousands of soldiers gathered in Xiangzhou.

——Although it is unbelievable, the Jin soldiers who went south to the Central Plains have indeed been destroyed in the outskirts of Bianliang.However, the Generalissimo Mansion of Hebei Bingma, which has completed its mission, seems to be unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history. Instead, it is more active in recruiting troops and expanding its strength.But anyone with a little knowledge can see that no matter which emperor is sitting in the Bianliang Palace, he will not allow such a state with tens of thousands of troops to exist in Xiangzhou, which is close to the capital and across the river. , A large feudal town with jurisdiction over thousands of miles.

Not to mention that the person in charge of this feudal town is still a prince of the royal family, so he naturally has a certain legal rationale for succession!
If there is any collusion with the party in the palace, it will immediately become the biggest threat to the throne of the Song Dynasty!
Therefore, in order to deal with the suspicion of Bianliang and the possible reduction of the vassal, some of the latest military strategies introduced by Xiangzhou, such as sending rangers to scout, setting up beacon towers, etc., are also obviously to guard against the Bianjing court in the south, not The Jurchens entrenched in the north—although King Kang Zhaogou and his henchmen still chanted anti-golden slogans loudly, they couldn't hold back after all. There are many discerning people in this world who can see the current situation clearly.

In fact, there have been undercurrents and discussions among the troops stationed in Xiangzhou these days.Many people spoke in secret, and vowed that King Kang would cross the river and send troops to attack Bianliang in the name of "incompetence, humiliation of the country, imprisoning his father and unfilial piety", and usurped the throne by force!
Well, in the past, it seems that someone said the truth of "the Son of Heaven, whoever has a strong soldier and a strong horse should do it himself".But the problem is that it is no longer the chaos of the Five Dynasties that the emperor took turns to do. All kinds of monarchs and ministers, etiquette and ethics have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is still an enemy of a corner of the world-no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of victory!
Right now, although Yue Fei was a bit reluctant to part with the post he had just obtained as the head of the Ma Jun, he still secretly made up his mind that if King Kang really wanted to risk the world's displeasure and usurp the throne in Xiangzhou, then he would never covet anything from the dragon to support him. He will think of a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise he will be sorry for the four characters of "serving the country with loyalty" tattooed on his back by his mother. If you can't be a big shot, you can't be a traitor!
It's just... the third time in my life that I joined the army, is it going to end like this?
It's really useless to serve the country, wasting all the martial arts that I have painstakingly trained!

Thinking of this, Yue Fei couldn't help but let out a faint sigh, and at the same time turned his head to look into the air by chance.

Then, as if he saw Medusa's eyes, his whole body was "petrified".

God!what did he see !

A castle, a majestic castle with a golden appearance, is approaching Xiangzhou City from the air! !
