Chapter 994 Skylight Roaring Dark Fire Crossflow

The dawn was just beginning, the wind blew through the mountains in the southwest, and there was still flames burning above the gate of the Jiange Pavilion.

The wooden towers had been burnt to a charred black in the previous fire, and the beams, pillars and tiles were peeled off in the licking of the flames.Although the open flame has gradually become smaller, the scorching black smoke is still lingering and rising. The morning breeze completely engulfs the southern half of Guancheng with the smoke, but in the northern parapet, the raging heat wave is relatively small. , the soldiers of both sides fought back and forth between the narrow passages that were not spacious.

After the soldiers from both sides met, the long-range assistance was temporarily ineffective. The Jurchen formed a shield formation and sprinted towards the front. The lit fire and thunder were thrown out from the rear, and the Huaxia Army also threw grenades.

The explosion bloomed at the top of the city, and people were looking for cover in the scorching air.Some soldiers from the Huaxia Army continued to move forward and threw grenades on the stairs behind the tower. The air waves of the previous explosion shook the tower that had become dry and withered in the flames, and some pillars collapsed, burying the soldiers in the coke and fire. Among the rocks and rocks, a large expanse of Mars rose into the sky.

"Come with me—"

The sound of the charge horn swirled loudly with the Morrowind, and under the ash-filled hillside, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army were still rushing towards the top of the scorching Guancheng.

The Guancheng surrounded by flames is daunting, but it does not take long to break through it.The Chinese soldiers who boarded the Guanlou had no way to retreat. They charged forward with the grenade, the flames and the black smoke. The rear of the Guanlou was not completely affected by the fire. Although it was easier for Jurchen's new troops to come up, the explosion of the grenade was not enough. , the damage was even greater. After several repeated confrontations, the Huaxia army threw grenades on the inner small square on the Guanlou, while the Jurchen retreated in the distance and returned fire with arrows.

The small square behind Guancheng is not big, and there is a winding mountain road further back. The Jurchen slowly retreated after a fight, and the Huaxia army surged up.Mao Yishan took the first dash to the top of the city and broke into the small square in the Guancheng. As hundreds of people climbed to the top of the city, some soldiers went down to the rear, and the real counterattack came.

The dozens of cannons located in the mountains behind sounded almost simultaneously, and the flying cannonballs and explosions enveloped the city and the square here.At this time, the flames spread in the city head, and the city gate had already been blocked with a large number of stones on the inside, and the entire gated city was like a huge fence.Although more than a dozen iron cannons could not cover the entire area, under the bombardment of this heavy firepower, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers died in the artillery fire on the spot.

Pulling the speed even prepared two small trebuchets between the mountain trails behind, and threw the barrels filled with explosives into the closed building that was still on fire, causing a new round of violent explosions.

The mountain wind blew over, and Mao Yishan climbed up from the ground, his ears buzzing.He pulled up the tumbling warriors beside him and started walking towards the back, shouting loudly, "Save people! Find cover—"

There were no shelters on the small square, but there were still dead spots for the artillery fire, so I helped my companions and ran to the blind spot under the city. The second round of artillery fire had already sounded in front, and the smell of smoke and nitrates was everywhere.Someone came to ask if he wanted to go back to Guancheng in the back. Mao Yishan shook his head: "Save people! Prepare grenades! Watch out for arrows!"

There were only a dozen or so soldiers of the Huaxia Army who had retreated to the bottom of the city wall in the smoke and dust. Several injured were still struggling and rolling on the ground in front of them, but it was impossible to imagine. As Mao Yishan's words fell, the sky ahead In the middle, a rain of arrows came.

A group of warriors raised their shields, and then a large clanging sound fell, and in front of the smoke filled with dust, the Jurchen rushed over.

"Grenade—ready to charge—"

In the roar of Mao Yishan, several grenades were thrown at the rushing Golden Soldiers. In the army formation on the opposite side, there were also lit fire and thunder. They were thrown towards the dead corner of the city wall, but Mao Yishan had already exerted his strength first and charged forward.

There were also wounded soldiers of the Huaxia Army standing staggeringly on the battlefield. Jin Bing's spear penetrated his body. Mao Yishan rushed over the soldier's side before he fell, and slammed into Jin Bing with a loud drink. In the formation where the grenade exploded.The rest of the Huaxia Army soldiers also rushed forward and fought with the Jinren in skirmish mode.

The front is blocked by artillery fire, and the rear has to withstand the bombardment of fire and thunder, and only choosing to fight with you in me and me in you can be regarded as the only way out.Those who can follow Mao Yishan in the early attack are all veterans. Most of them can see this situation clearly. They blow up the opponent into skirmishers and charge with grenades. Once they rush into the opponent's formation, they will form a formation of three or two. , In the local battlefield, the advantage of two-on-one is often formed, and the Jurchen individual combat is extremely fierce, but in the half-year of the Southwest Campaign, the elite team often suffers in the melee with the Huaxia Army.

Mao Yishan chopped down two golden soldiers in the fight, and several people fell down in his field of vision, and the bloody aura spread.On the city wall at the rear, several Huaxia soldiers who had broken through had already come down and joined the battle after shooting with crossbows. On the Jurchen side, there were also several tall and well-armored soldiers rushing towards them—they also did not dare to invest too much at once. soldiers, afraid of dying too many in the explosion of a grenade.

Immediately after another gunpowder keg was thrown above Guancheng, the billowing smoke and dust roared towards the surroundings.The rocket fired from the other side also crossed the top of Guancheng and flew into the opposite mountain wall, blowing out thick smoke.

The launch of Dijiang has been adjusted several times, but in the case of inability to accurately measure the distance and strong mountain winds, the rockets are basically unable to threaten the Jinbing positions in the mountains at such a long distance. After a few shots, he could only give up.

The two sides continued to fight in this environment of billowing smoke and flying arrows. I don't know how long they had been killed, but the golden soldiers showed a tendency to retreat. Mao Yishan shouted: "Rescue the wounded!" After a while, the cannonballs exploded again. Come.

Everyone retreated to the dead corner of the city wall where the shells could not be blasted. Before the wounded could move to the city wall, the second round of the attack of the Jurchen killed them again...

After rounds of hedging and fighting, Jin Bing rushed over and was killed for another round.The battle on the small square lasted for more than half an hour, and both sides paid a price of more than [-] people. As the flames above the Guancheng subsided, the Huaxia Army stabilized the position on the small square in a pool of blood.

Corpses piled up like mountains.

In this small open space that is not considered spacious, the two sides fought for more than [-] lives each with fueling tactics. It can be regarded as an extremely tragic battle. fight.Mao Yishan's position was crumbling several times, and a large number of wounded were withdrawn in the first round, and then sacrificed in the second round of fighting, but until the end, the Jurchen failed to really gain the upper hand.

This was the first hour after the Jianmenguan offensive began.The Huaxia Army was stubbornly pressed in front of the small square under the city wall, and neither side was able to advance an inch.The Huaxia Army's will to fight is firm, and it will never show weakness when pulling away from the speed.After arriving, corpses piled up in a small area, and everything was extremely tragic.

Mao Yishan fell into a pool of blood during the fight. A company commander called the soldiers to carry him to the city wall, crossed the Guanlou and sent him to the rear. The soldiers shouted at the medical team, "Rescue my commander." Perhaps it was because he had not received much preferential treatment on the battlefield as the regiment commander, and more soldiers had been sacrificed on the battlefield because they could not be sent back in time.

The flames on the upper floor gradually died down, and as the passage was gradually opened, the Huaxia Army began to try to break through to the front.However, on the mountain road in the back, Tuo Lishu used the artillery array to defend the not spacious mountain road firmly.By this afternoon, with the cooperation of several rockets, the Huaxia Army pulled out more than a dozen iron cannons in the rear and tried to attack the mountain road.

What awaits them is also a stubborn resistance that breaks the boat...

***************
In every country or nation, in times of crisis, there will always be outstanding figures who will carry out rounds of reforms or resistance in their own way.

Of course, or it was because of the uncommon resistance of all horses and horses, that it showed such a special weight.

The war horse galloped across the ridge and the long road, and crossed the camp lined with flags. When the scout passed the news of the fierce battle at Jianmenguan to Wanyan Zonghan, the Jurchen veteran who was not overly moved even when his own son died. , two lines of turbid tears could not help but ooze out of his eyes.

Generals die in a hundred battles, and casualties of any general on the battlefield are unavoidable.The loss of a general, even his own son, is nothing but a matter of luck, but the generals in the army are defeated one after another on the battlefield, which represents the national fortune of a country. Urgent, critical moment.

Thinking back to the time when Aguda had 3000 people rioting, who among these 3000 people can be considered special?In battle after battle, thousands of people died one after another, but Jurchen was full of spirit, and no one's death really affected the overall situation.Lou Shi was later called the Jurchen God of War, but back then, he was not necessarily better at fighting than anyone else, he just survived those decades of fighting.When Lou Shi fell in the northwest, and then Cibushi was added, Jin Guo felt very distressed. On the one hand, it shows that they are precious, and on the other hand, it just shows that the rest of them are not as good as them.

In this Southwest battle, from Erilili to Xiebao, to Yuyu and Dalai, every loss is distressing. Compared with the 30 years ago when I followed Aguda, this kind of emotion is not good. There will be.It's normal for anyone to die. When one general dies, it's fine for another to take his place, but at present, each of them has no one to replace.

The battle of Tanzhou lost the silver skill. It was originally one of the handsome talents who could calm down the scene after he and Gu Shen went away. He never expected that due to the drag of Wanyan Qingjue and other scumbags, it would end in the death of the Han general. policy.After the silver art can be damaged, the strength of his family could have fallen on the shoulders of Tu Lisu - the soldiers of this pair of brothers, one is fierce and atmospheric, the other is stable and soft, the status of each of them is originally compared to the other. Ruilili, Yu Yu, Dalai and others were taller—but with the news of the battle at Jianmenguan, Zong Han knew in his heart that Tu Lisu would not be able to come back.

However unthinkable.

Even if he analyzed rationally, the Southwest Black Flag's troops were already stretched thin, but just from the meeting in front of the Shiling formation, Zong Han knew in his heart that the danger of the sword pavilion could not stop the demon who wanted to kill from the rear. will.

——If there were no more than 2 people from Qin Shaoqian outside the mountains in the southwest, perhaps the other party would try to be safe and take back Jianmen Pass calmly after Da Jin left.But precisely because of the [-] people blocking the road, the dark dragon in the southwest will definitely break through that barrier at all costs.Although he may suffer some backlash in the future, the sword gate cannot stop the will of the demon, nor can it stop the attack of the new type of firearm.

Those who were arranged at Jianmenguan, if it were not for a general like Tu Lisu, the rest would only collapse and fall faster. After the two Huaxia armies were joined together, the return of their own army would only be possible. become more difficult.

Thinking back on the decades-long journey that would gather stars and gradually fall, Zong Han sighed, put on his helmet, and walked out of the tent.The army has been mobilized and assembled.

Before the Jianmen Pass was broken through, all the elite forces were concentrated to conduct a decisive battle to besiege the so-called Huaxia Seventh Army headed by Qin Shaoqian.

This is the only account he can make for the sacrifice of pulling out the speed.

……

When the sky is dark, people have to ignite fire, and sometimes, in the barren land, people can only ignite themselves and wait for the dawn.

Jurchen has just realized this kind of taste, and the people of the Wu Dynasty have already sunk in it for more than ten years. If the awakening of Zong Han, Xi Yin, Ba Lisu and others can still show the breath of reason and awakening, What burned on Dai Mengwei's body by the Hanshui River was more like a crazy and twisted torch.

To the north, in the Cloud Palace, the weather is gloomy.Shi Liai was standing on the city wall, and his firelight was supporting the darkness that enveloped the Cloud Palace.

Under the city was a sea of ​​besieged people who were driven from all directions, including Jin people and Han slaves - this proved that it was not the Han people from the south that were killed.In fact, the style of the cavalry and the tents running from a distance has already explained this point. It was the grassland people who were once blocked in the west who broke the Yanmen Pass in a circuitous way.

The siege has been going on for several days.

In the nearby small towns and villages, the original residents were driven over by these prairie people one after another.These people surrounded by cannon fodder cannot invade the city, but for the Jurchens, the most hurt may be the dignity and face lost after experiencing this kind of thing for the first time.The noble children in the city kept shouting that they wanted to fight, but Shi Liai held down this idea.

On the second day when the prairie vanguards approached the city, Shi Liai once ordered a small number of cavalry in the city to attack to test the quality of the opponent.This steppe cavalry seemed aggressive and reckless, and after a duel shot, it retreated in a panic.This is the first round of confrontation between the two sides in the cloud. As a warrior of the Jin Kingdom who has almost conquered the world, he is not afraid of life and death in the shot, and it is a matter of course to repel the opponent. However, Shi Liai vaguely noticed something wrong. When Ming Jin drew back his troops, he realized that his cavalry had almost been drawn far away by the opponent, intentionally or unintentionally.

That is an extremely delicate distance. This cavalry is the elite of the defending army. After listening to the order, they returned immediately, and the other party did not follow and attack again, but Shi Liai could always feel that many eyes under the city were there. Watching him quietly, waiting for an opportunity to come.

For the next two days, the old man carefully observed the movements of the cavalry at the head of the city, and only then could he vaguely perceive that this cavalry, although it seemed wild and untamed, actually had quite good fighting qualities, which was in line with the performance of the attack and retreat that day. , with subtle differences.If his Ming Jin withdraws his troops a little later, the opponent's army may have followed his cavalry towards the city gate quickly, not to mention whether he can enter the city in chaos, at least the team under his own hands is impossible to come back. of.

He is a person who has experienced war all his life. Even if he sees these things, he does not speak to the younger generation in private.On the one hand, his majesty is huge, and he doesn't need to explain it for trivial matters. On the other hand, it is very necessary to maintain the rebelliousness and spirit of young people in many cases.

This kind of siege lasted for several days, and battles, big and small, were taking place in the vicinity of Yunzhong - Jin Guo's fourth southern expedition took away most of the elite troops, but it did not mean that Jin domestic The Ministry was empty to the point of being undefended.The resident teams, security teams, and even veterans in various places can pull out a group of troops of a considerable size at any time.Since the Yanmen Pass was broken down and the prairie soldiers quickly reached the Yunzhong Mansion, troops from various places have been dispatched one after another, and they have quickly gathered here.

On their way, they encountered round after round of arrow rain.The prairie people's bows and arrows are arrogant and their equestrian skills are amazing. When the main force of the army has gone south, at least in the horse team, the Jin people can no longer compete with this group of prairie riders, and these prairie people will never engage in any frontal combat with the Jin army. , After encountering the infantry, they were thrown far away, the infantry formed a formation, and they left, and came to harass after a while, harassing from day to night, and then from night to dawn.

Most of the Jurchen troops who came to aid were trapped in the mud, and basically could not reach the city of Yunzhong. Only two cavalry troops crossed the blockade on April 15th and [-]th, and were immediately hunted by large-scale grassland cavalry in Yunzhongcheng. Out of sight distance.

Shi Li love does not move.

On April [-], there were already several trebuchets that looked crooked and stood up in front of the position. When the opposite side was pushed over to throw them, the city wall of Yunzhongfu was also ready to counterattack.Wanyan Dezhong and others who were following him persuaded Shi Liai to go down from the city wall, but Shi Liai just leaned on crutches and moved to the next city tower.

"I personally supervised the renovation of Yunzhong Mansion. A few stones can't break this stupid wall. Let's see what they want to do."

It was not a stone that was thrown into the Cloud City first...

　At the end of last month, I saw Bai Yinmeng who was rewarded by my book friend "Loyal Servant and Prosperous Fortune". I was writing about a thousand words at the time, and I was very excited. I decided to update it at night and said that this chapter was for Bai Yinmeng.When I reached [-] words, I voided that chapter, and the next day I wrote [-] words. I felt sick and started to catch a cold.

At the beginning of this year, I realized that it was time to train my body. I hired a personal trainer and started exercising one after another. Then in May, I caught a total of three colds, and I caught colds twice in May. I used to have bad work and rest, and I probably only caught a cold once a year. What it looks like - a friend said that it should be because the physical condition has changed and is adapting. If the adaptation has passed, perhaps the body will be better than before.Wish it was, wish it was.

I wish you all good health.
