Jun Jiuling

In the first year of Shaotai, the atmosphere of the New Year disappeared.

In order to seek a new year with good weather and a new atmosphere, the emperor and his ministers had a serious discussion for a month before and decreed to change Yuan Shaotai. No one expected that the first day after the Yuan change would usher in the golden man's raid on Junziguan.

Prince Jinyingwu Tuobatai led 30,000 soldiers from Junziguan, and marched along the Hutuo River into Hejian. Changfeng Town as a backup.

And farther away, tens of thousands of golden soldiers are crossing the Great Wall of Baozhou.

For a time, the flames of war in Qizhou and Hejian in Dingzhou were like hell.

The soldiers and horses of the east and west routes in Hebei were in a hurry, and the Ministry of War ordered the general soldiers from all over the country to lead the army again to help.

The capital is under martial law.

In the first month of the lunar year, there is no atmosphere of the New Year at all. From time to time, there are galloping post soldiers galloping past on the street.

Although there are still many people walking around on the street, it is not as bustling and crowded as in the past during the Chinese New Year, and the post soldiers pass smoothly without whipping their whips.

"Why are you fighting again?"

"Isn't there a peace?"

"It has been said for a long time that the golden man is not trustworthy at all."

"This is a terrible situation. Duke Cheng has escaped. Can Uncle Qing He beat Jin Ren?"

"Have you packed your things? Are you running?"

"Are you all right? Didn't you say you've stopped it?"

This is a topic that people talk to each other when they meet on the street. They are nervous but not flustered. It seems that they have just experienced the war last year, and there is no danger.

The people are still safe, mostly because they don't know the specific situation of the war. For the emperor, he has been sleepless for several days.

"...The Jin people said that the soldiers and civilians on my side robbed their people's cattle and sheep..."

"...that's nonsense..."

"...No, it is said that the imperial court called for the annual tribute..."

"...Absurd, who urged them to pay... Speaking of which, the annual tribute hasn't been paid yet..."

"...The Jin people are treacherous and untrustworthy, so they shouldn't have negotiated peace..."

"...I have to ask Mr. Huang, what did the Jinren tell you..."

The emperor slapped the table with a snap, and the noise in the hall suddenly fell silent.

"I don't want to know that they backtracked! I don't want to hear whose fault it is!" He shouted, "I want to know now, did you stop it?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the army from the north has already divided into three groups to intercept the gold soldiers, and the general soldiers from Shandong and Shanxi rushed to the two roads in Hebei, and they will definitely be able to kill the gold thieves."

In desperation, the officials of the Ministry of War had no choice but to stand up and say.

But the emperor, who always listened to what the courtiers said, sneered at this time.

"You said so much, but you didn't stop it?" He shouted, annoyed and sad, "What the hell are you bastards doing?"

The military officer raised his head.

"Your Majesty, it's all because Uncle Qinghe mobilized the defense, which caused the army's morale to be unstable, and the generals were not familiar with it. This gave the Jin people an opportunity to take advantage of it." He gritted his teeth and said.

"Master Liu, there is no reason why you want to impose a crime." Immediately, other officials stood up and retorted angrily.

The emperor also looked at the officials of the Ministry of War coldly.

The morale of the army is unstable, and the generals are not familiar with it. Can the Jin people take advantage of it?

These two are not enough, in fact, there is another reason, right?

Cheng Guogong Zhu Shan was relieved of his military power, this is what they want to say in their hearts, right?

The emperor looked ashamed and angry.

It's not his fault, it's your fault, it's Qing Hebo's fault.

"Tell Uncle Qing He, I want him to give an explanation." He said coldly.

As before, the officials withdrew from the court after a quarrel without any conclusions, and continued to anxiously dispatch troops and generals to wait for news.

Huang Cheng's face was also ugly.

"What's the matter with the golden man coming in?" he asked.

"My lord, I have kept it secret. In the first place, there should be a spy who opened the door of the gentleman's gate, allowing the Jin man to enter quietly. The guard of the gentleman's gate was caught off guard and killed. Lighting the beacon fire, Hejian Mansion will receive the news even later." An official said in a low voice.

Huang Cheng cursed, but thoughtful.

"Well, how can there be spies?" He said, and suddenly turned his head to ask, "Where did Zhu Shan escape to now?"

The officials looked at each other and seemed to understand something.

That's right, it is necessary now that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all pointing their fingers at Yihe and the punishment of Cheng Guogong, and it is the emperor and Huang Cheng who are leading all this. , Huang Cheng fell, and they did not end well.

At this time, there must be a scapegoat.

And Cheng Guogong, who was charged with treason and escaped, couldn't be more suitable.

"I'll ask Qinghe Bocha." An official said after plastic surgery.

Seeing the officials lead away, Huang Cheng frowned a little, walked to the carriage and looked at the servant who had picked him up.

"Go and contact Yu Chihai's people." He whispered, "I want an explanation!"

The servant replied in a low voice, helping Huang Cheng to get into the carriage.

.........

.........

On the icy and snowy wilderness, horns sounded, and horseshoes trampled at the same time. Teams of golden soldiers seemed to emerge from the wilderness and gathered in a city straight ahead.

The sound of horseshoes, howling, and the red and white flag behind him are like a sea.

There were thousands of people densely packed at a glance, all of them were heavy armored soldiers, coming with a terrifying momentum.

The city in front seemed empty and silent. You could see countless dead bodies scattered on the ground, and traces of climbing were left on the city wall. It was obvious that it had already withstood several attacks.

The city was not tall, and it was still a little dilapidated. As the horseshoes shook the entire city wall, it gasped like an old man.

The golden soldiers were getting closer and closer, at this moment the closed city in front suddenly opened, and teams of soldiers and horses rushed out.

This scene shocked Jin Bing.

After besieging the city for so long, this was the first time I saw Zhou Bing who took the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

Are you crazy?

It's not over yet, the rushing out Zhou Bing's lineup changes, revealing the shield vehicles behind them.

I have never heard of using a shield car to stop cavalry....

When the golden soldiers thought about it, they heard a sharp whistling sound as soon as the thought flashed. Before they could understand what was going on, the rain-like spears came with fire.

The oncoming cavalrymen were instantly pierced, not just one, but a bunch of them, and at the same time, stone bullets flew in, accompanied by bursts of flames, and the entire front of the city was instantly like a hell on earth.

The screams were heard, and the fireworks caught the eyes, which made the golden soldiers in the camp behind look shocked.

"Which army is this Suning guarding?" A voice rang out from the Jin camp, "Why can't they attack three times, and dare to fight?"

The thousands of cavalry who accompanied the questioning Jinren had been repelled, and the surviving ones fled back one after another, and behind them were the approaching Zhou cavalry who changed their formation as they marched.

The cavalry has more spears and flags, one of which is particularly eye-catching.

"It's the Qingshan Army!" A golden general shouted in dismay.

When this name came to my ears, there was a sudden commotion in the military formation that was still maintaining awe. The horse also seemed to understand this, neighing and stamping on the ground uneasy.

This annoyed Jin Jiang who was sitting in it.

"It's just a Qingshan army, how many people can there be?" He shouted, "We have so many people, and there is also Prince Yingwu's army to support us not far behind."

Yes, these words calmed down the turbulent army formation gradually, but in the next moment, fireworks burst out on the city ahead with sharp whistling sounds, red, orange, yellow and green.

What is this?

Jin Jiang was a little dazed, it's this time, are these Zhou soldiers still celebrating the New Year?

"My lord, my lord is not well. There are Zhou soldiers coming from all around." A sentry sent an urgent report.

four sides?

General Jin got into the car and looked around. Sure enough, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the fields on all sides, flags everywhere, and dense army formations coming towards this side.

There are many garrisons in Suning, but these garrisons seldom cooperate in combat, let alone take the initiative to come out of the city to support when a city is besieged.

What happened this time?

The sound of war drums came from the city ahead.

And this is not just the battle drum for the battle, Jin Jiang can see clearly from a high place, and with the battle drum, the Zhou soldiers coming from all sides also began to change their formation.

Although a little messy and a little rusty, the formation formed with reluctance also carried a chilling air.

Is this going to encircle and annihilate them?

This is what they always do.

Jin Jiang was horrified and angry, and raised the big knife in his hand on the high platform.

"Fight."

The horns are sounded, the drums are cracked, and the fighting is shaking the sky.

.........

.........

Soldiers far away from Beiwangguan could not witness Suning's fight, but countless people watched it.

The torches illuminated the entire Guanbao as if it were day, and it was almost impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

Standing in front of the map and the sand table, Qing Hebo was either silent or pacing back and forth. The generals around him did not dare to speak loudly, or talked in low voices or walked in and out lightly.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Good news, good news." The orderly shouted hoarsely, crashing in and kneeling on the ground.

Uncle Qing He looked over with sharp eyebrows and eyes like a basin of water.

"Where?" he shouted.

"Suning Pass." The orderly shouted.

There was a low cry of surprise in the room, and even Qing Hebo clenched his fists tightly.

"I knew that the Qingshan Army would definitely be able to defend it." A general said.

Uncle Qing He relaxed his frown, and his expression was a little complicated when he heard these words.

But now is not the time to be distracted.

"If Suning defends, our situation will ease." Qing Hebo said, "Then it's our turn to attack."

As he spoke, he stood in front of the sand table, and the generals also hurriedly surrounded him.

When the morning light fell into the camp, the reaction of the torches made people a little dizzy, and the soldiers carefully extinguished them one by one.

 …

.........

The colorful flags were waved and the horns were sounded. This was an order to stop the pursuit, and the advancing army formation stopped.

Accompanying the army to stop, bursts of cheers sounded on the ground in the early morning light.

The winter morning was harsh, and every soldier's face was red and white, and his body was covered with blood, but they all had bright eyes and cheered happily.

There is the joy of surviving a catastrophe, and the excitement of winning the battle

The horn sounded again, looking at the waving flags, the soldiers immediately stood up straight, subconsciously swayed their feet, changed their formations, and began to collect trophies and sacrificed brothers.

"I really didn't expect that we would besiege the golden soldiers, and even beat them to flight." A general murmured.

"Yeah, to be honest, I really don't want to fight." Another general whispered.

They spoke in a low voice, and there was a dense sound of horseshoes. Accompanied by the shouts of soldiers, the two looked up and saw a group of people led by a woman.

This woman was wearing a war robe and a thick hat, with a shallow scar on each cheek, but no one noticed this on the battlefield.

Zhao Hanqing stopped in front of them, the crossbow on his back was still stained with blood, and looked down at them.

The two generals looked at each other and raised their hands respectfully to her.

Their positions are much higher than Zhao Hanqing, and it is a great respect to be able to salute so proactively.

"I said, everyone listen to me, I won't let them go to die." Zhao Hanqing no longer looked at them, but looked around and said loudly, "But this time, there is still an army that did not follow the order to leave the city. Since they If you don't obey my orders, then I won't treat him as a colleague."

Is this the little girl playing her temper? The two generals looked at each other.

The logic doesn't seem right, everyone shouldn't listen to your orders, right? Uncle Qing He said that he wanted you to assist everyone in training, but he didn't want you to be the commander. Why did he have to listen to your orders?

"That's right, marching and fighting requires an army formation. She taught us that we should obey her drums when the army formation changes." A general whispered.

Well, there is no way around this. After all, everyone should listen to an army formation that can save lives and win battles.

"...We must defend the Suning Pass, so I will assign a cannon carriage and a ballista to each of your armies..."

The little girl's clear voice echoed.

The two generals suddenly became clever, and it didn't matter whether she should play a childish temper and treat disobedient people as colleagues.

You have seen with your own eyes how powerful the cannon and ballista are, and if you can share one, it will be even more powerful.

War is what consumes the most soldiers. No general is willing to see his troops depleted, so he tries his best to equip and weapons.

The Qingshan Army was even willing to give them this magic weapon.

This is completely treated as siblings.

This is a life-and-death relationship on the battlefield, so what else is there to say.

Cheers erupted from all around.

Zhao Hanqing galloped on the spot, his eyes swept over everyone.

"Live and die together! Don't be afraid and never retreat!" She raised her crossbow and shouted loudly.

"Live and die together! Don't be afraid and never retreat!"

The shouts were overwhelming.

Li Guorui couldn't help getting goose bumps all over his body.

Well, from this moment on, Suning Guan Qingshan Army is the boss.
