Chapter 970 The Frontier of Shiling
More than ten miles away from Zizhou, Shiling lies like a lying lion in front of the mountains.

As the sun sets in the west, the black smoke has stopped filling the air. For the first time in six days, the sound of the battle has stopped. The trees near the mountain that have been burnt to coke in the flames are reflected in the rays of the setting sun, showing a sigh of relief. The strangely quiet atmosphere comes.

There were still people running in defensive positions one after another, soldiers were still reinforcing the defense lines and checking the gun positions. People looked at the Jinbing positions in front of their field of vision and only spoke in low voices.

"You said, will the golden dog come today?"

"If you don't want this, come and fuck your mother!"

"I heard that Wangyuan Bridge won the battle, and they did Wanyan's oblique protection."

"The people brought by Mr. Ning, remember? Those who were withdrawn from the Erlian... Xie Bao thought he had 3 people, and he was not enough to be arrogant, so he went to Mr. Ning..."

"How did you fight..."

"It's not clear yet..."

In such whispers, the sunlight flashed golden yellow across the valley ahead, and the Jurchen's restraint and quietness had lasted for more than an hour.

Later in the mountain, there was a wounded barracks. After the battlefield lasted for a long time in unusual silence, the wounded wounded with sticks and sticks and bandages came out of the tent and looked at the back of Shiling Mountain in the distance.

"what happened?"

People ask each other so.

In the hot air balloon, someone quickly waved the flag down and reported every movement in the Jurchen camp. A senior officer of the staff was waiting directly below to confirm that all important clues were not missed.

The blocking battle at Shiling and Xiukou lasted for nearly six days. In the records of later generations, it was often overshadowed by the trans-epochal significance and brilliance of the Wangyuan Bridge Victory. It lasted for five years. In the months-long campaign of the Southwest, they too often seemed unimportant.But in fact, they were an important fulcrum for winning the battle of Wangyuanqiao.

During the entire six days, Qu Zhengyan and Yu Zhongdao blocked Yu Xiukou, and Han Jing and Pang Liuan fought at Shiling.Although the Jurchen was expecting the oblique guards who crossed the mountain to play some tricks in front of Ning Yi, at Shiling and Xiukou, they did not let the water down or relax at all. The few Huaxia army lines are stretched to the extreme, and a little carelessness may completely collapse.

Although relying on the terrain and artillery can still take advantage of the defense, but in six days, the reduction of the combat power on both sides of the Huaxia Army has reached a huge [-].In some respects, such a rate of attrition is actually more tragic than the situation in Huangming County and Yuyuxi during the defense war.

Especially in the direction of Shiling, after the appearance of Zonghan's handsome flag, the morale of the Jin soldiers was greatly boosted. Zonghan, Tu Lisu and others also exerted their skills in battlefield command and force deployment for so many years, and the elite soldiers continued to shake. The defense of the entire mountain makes the breakthrough focus on one point.Sometimes, even the Huaxia Army soldiers who participated in the defense had a hard time feeling where the most attrition and pressure were placed. Only when a certain position was broken did they realize Zong Han's true tactical intentions.At this time, they can only make arrangements to take back the position from the golden soldiers.

This is the tactical gap between the generals of the Huaxia Army and the famous Jurchen generals such as Zong Han. However, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers and the small-scale tactical cooperation of grassroots soldiers, the Huaxia Army has put aside these "invincible" "The Jurchen Soldier.

Among them, especially the Second Division led by Pang Luan, who once lost Huangming County, fought very bravely. In the face of the "old enemy" of Tuo Lisu, the soldiers of the Second Division who had the will of revenge and shame even changed for a time. With the style of playing steadily and being the best at defense, he showed the most determined fighting will in several repeated battles for positions.

On the one hand, such a will to fight is of course due to the political work. On the other hand, it is also because the division commander Pang Liuan once put his life and death aside, and several times he has to personally lead his troops forward.In order to protect the division commander, the brigade commander and the regiment commander under the second division are often the first to provoke the lead.

On the Jurchen side, Tua Lisu personally went on the field to break the formation. However, after occupying a position, he was met with a frantic counterattack from the soldiers of the second division. One group of soldiers even tried to block Tua Lisu's path and let the artillery bombard the position regardless of the enemy and the enemy. Although the side didn't do this, the attitude of the second division made Takli speed have to retreat in despair.

In fact, what is remembered in the hearts of the soldiers of the Second Division is not only the blood feud of the soldiers who died in Huangming County. Some soldiers never broke through, and they are still in the hands of Jurchen. This matter may be the biggest thing in the hearts of the soldiers. stalk.

Shiling fought fiercely and fought repeatedly. Later, Army Commander He Zhicheng continued to mobilize lightly injured soldiers, militiamen, and active forces still interspersed in the mountains from the rear. They also devoted themselves to the front line of Shiling, and finally maintained this rather tense line of defense.If not, on the 28th day, Han Jing would not even be able to draw out his thousands of cavalry, and after the battle at Wangyuan Bridge, it would be difficult to quickly mop up and end the battle.

Jin Bing's truce and shrinking this afternoon was obviously a response to the battle report of Wangyuan Bridge, but the generals of the Huaxia Army on the position did not relax their vigilance. The bridge's information has not been officially announced, so that the soldiers will not underestimate the enemy and suffer the opponent's loss in the final counterattack of the Jurchen.

Around two quarters of the hour, He Zhicheng, Pang Luan and others were on the back road of Shiling Mountain when they saw the cart coming from Wangyuan Bridge and the horse team of about [-] people in front of the cart. Ning Yi was among the horse team.He approached and dismounted, and He Zhicheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ning goes out, this battle is settled... It's not easy."

There was also gunpowder smoke on his face, and when he said this, there were actually tears in his eyes.Pang Luan on the side has blood on his body. Due to the defeat of Huangming County, he is the acting commander of the second division at this time, and he salutes Ningyi: "The second division of the Huaxia Fifth Army has been ordered to defend the Shikou front line. , fortunately not humiliated."

"Thanks to you."

If he had Ning Yi's character in normal times, he might have said something witty, but he didn't at this time. He saluted the two of them and walked forward. Pang Luan looked at the cart behind him: "This is 'Dijiang'?"

Ning Yi nodded: "Actually, the whole idea was already there in Xiaocanghe, and the manual operation was completed in the last year. It only started slowly when we arrived in the southwest. In a few years, the first military industry died for it, and the disabled It's no less than two hundred, and tightening the waistband slowly wears down so many things. We were worried about whether it was enough, but fortunately, the oblique guard hit it, and it also played a role. "

Perhaps recalling the course of these years, his tone was serious, but not tense, serious with a sense of relaxation.After walking forward for a while, he said:

"Others are still at the Wangyuan Bridge, and more than 2 people have been captured. It seems that it is not easy to hold them. It will be difficult to deal with them in a short while. We are worried that the Jurchens will go crazy here, so we dragged these here first. Originally, there were more than 600 rounds. Before the start of the war, I was worried about whether it was enough, whether I could give the Jurchen the most painful blow in the first battle, but in the end it only took less than three hundred—how did Zong Han react?"

"The reaction speed is very fast, Jiang is old and hot." He Zhicheng smiled. It was a mountain road in front of him. He raised his hand and looked back, "These cars..."

"Let's drag it up slowly, some may be carried by horses, don't worry, find a good place." Ning Yi smiled, "The measured range is normally more than [-] meters. Before finding a way to deal with it, it is enough for Zonghan to drink. A pot."

"However, Zonghan is prepared."

"……So fast?"

"It started half an hour ago, and their troops are retreating." He Zhicheng said, "At the beginning, it was a simple retreat, probably in response to the failure of the Wangyuan Bridge, which seemed a little hasty. But a quarter of an hour ago, There are a lot of adjustments, the movements are not big, and they are very organized."

Everyone walked up the hillside and crossed the high line on the ridge. In the sunset, they saw the situation of the entire Shiling battlefield. One after another was blood-stained positions, and one after another was blackened by artillery shells. , in the Jinbing camp in front, the tent and the flag are still fluttering. The Jinmen have built a simple wooden city wall, and there are intertwined wooden thorns outside the wall. The retreat of the troops in front makes the whole arrangement of the Jinmen appear defensive. Come on, the mobilization of teams in the camp seems to be continuing.

Ning Yi took the binoculars and looked over there, He Zhicheng and the others introduced: "...From what we saw half an hour ago, some people were retreating to the mountain pass in the back, the retreat of the front line was the most obvious, the tent behind the wooden wall It didn't move, it seemed that there were still people, but after summarizing the information from various observation points, the golden man was pulling away the soldiers in the tent in front during the large-scale mobilization. In addition, looking at the heights of the mountain pass in the rear, someone had previously fired iron cannons towards them. Moving up, it seems, to block the road while retreating."

"People like Zong Han are indeed outstanding people in the world." Ning Yi exhaled and murmured.

Lin Jingwei, the chief engineer on the side, was also looking at the situation over there curiously, and said at this moment: "It is true that I have been a veteran general who has ruled the world for 30 years. Wait for the existence of strange things."

"Even if I believe it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn around in my heart." Someone said.

"Face the reality is the basic quality of a famous general. No matter what, firearms that can reach as far as four or five hundred feet did appear on the Wangyuan Bridge battlefield. He must respond to this matter. Otherwise, would he wait for Di Jiang? Will you confirm it again after it falls on your head?" Ning Yi said while thinking while holding the binoculars, and then smiled: "However, you can praise him a few more words and write them in the book later - this makes us seem more sharp."

Everyone laughed, and someone said: "If Zonghan is ready, I am afraid that our rockets will not be able to take advantage of the miraculous soldiers. Right now the Jurchen camp is being mobilized. Do you want to take this opportunity to quickly hit the rockets and head to their camp? A blast in it?"

He Zhicheng and the others looked at each other, and most of them started to think. Ning Yi lowered his head and was obviously thinking about this.He just said that facing the reality is the basic quality of a famous player, but in fact, Zong Han has some admiration for the speed with which he makes a decision and faces the reality. Can you admit to reality in such a short period of time when you've been beaten to death - or when both of your sons have suffered bad luck?He also has no certainty.

And what effect can throwing these rockets at this time?

Ning Yi's tongue licked on his lips: "What is true is what is true. The rockets are set up to prevent them from showing the enemy's weakness and then making a counterattack. Just bombard them directly, for the time being. I'm afraid it will be difficult to play a final role."

The people around nodded.

"From today onwards, the era of Jurchen invincible has completely passed."

Ning Yi said, "Wanyan Zonghan must be in a very complicated mood right now. I will write a letter and throw it over later. His son is in my hand. Let's see if he is interested and talk to me."

The sun is setting, and when February is about to end, everything is born.Even old creatures will not stop their resistance to this world.Succession and reincarnation in the world always go on like this.
