"Creak~Creak~"
The wooden wheels of a chicken bus made a creaking sound.
The sacks on the car were piled up to half a person's height, causing the simple body of the car to deform slightly, as if it was about to fall apart at any time.
"Mo Er Yao~ Mo Er Mo~ Yao~"
Tens of thousands of soldiers wearing Song Army armor, with their chests bare, shouted neat chants, and tried their best to drag the chicken bus forward along the deep ruts in front.
Although it was the dead of winter, these soldiers were still so tired that white smoke was rising from their heads...
"I'm so exhausted! I said captain, can we take a break? Brothers are so exhausted that they are shaking."
"He's been gone for more than half a month. When will we arrive in Caizhou City?"
A big man with a strong back and a bearded face. He stretched out a big hand covered with chilblains, wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, and complained to a young officer.
"What do you think I'm doing? What can I do about the military order from the top of the mountain? Lao Qi, you have so many things to do, you're not as good as a kid like Danian!"
The young officer pointed at the dull and panting boy in front of him, and rolled his eyes at the strong man in disgust.
"Hehe..." The strong man didn't take it seriously and only smiled slightly awkwardly.
"This guy~ is just an old fool! Why did he be chosen as his deputy in the first place..." The young officer shook his head and sighed, secretly complaining in his heart.
This young officer is six feet tall and in his early twenties. Although he is not fat, he is extremely strong and tall. The biceps of the forearm bulge slightly, and the face that has been hacked by a knife looks very handsome and resolute, but it is always tense for some reason.
Although the officer was so tired that his face was covered with sweat, he did not reach out to wipe it. Instead, he tried his best to pretend to be dignified in front of his subordinates, panting heavily and continuing to push the chicken bus forward.
The reason why the young officer behaves like this is entirely because his body has changed into a soul. To put it simply, he is a time traveler!
The object of time travel was a crossbow captain in the Southern Song Dynasty army. The previous owner of this body had served in the army for three full years.
His predecessor was originally from Sichuan and Chongqing, and his parents died young. I grew up eating Baijia rice. At the age of 16, he was deceived into thinking for 5 taels of silver, so he joined the army as a substitute.
All in all, it’s a perfect Tiansha Lone Star template!
Of course, this was something he only learned after accepting the original memory.
Fortunately, the name of this body is the same as the original name, both are called Zhang Han, so there is no need to worry about the names getting mixed up!
Could this be the reason why his soul pierced through?
Because Zhang Han really doesn’t understand why he died without any warning.
Are you wearing it?
As a diligent worker who works overtime until late at night.
After Zhang Han completed a day of intensive 007 blessing reports before traveling through time, he was alone on the last bus back to the rental house late at night. Driven by the strong feeling of exhaustion in his body, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the backrest.
When I woke up again, it was already a changed world, completely turning the years upside down.
Zhang Han inexplicably traveled into the body of a crossbow captain with the same name and the same name under the command of the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Meng Gong.
time travel. For Zhang Han, it is both good news and bad news!
good news:
Because he likes historical knowledge in his spare time and has the advantage of foresight, he feels that living a free and unrestrained life will not be a problem!
bad news:
This group of them is on their way to the battlefield...
At this time, their Song army of nearly 30,000 people was escorting 300,000 stones of grain and grass. Under the leadership of General Meng Gong, they were advancing with difficulty towards Caizhou.
Because in the small city of Caizhou, the entanglement between Song and Meng is about to begin!
It was mid-October when Zhang Hang just crossed over. Meng Gong wanted to reach Caizhou City before winter and join the Mongolian army. Not only were refugees recruited along the way to serve as husbands, but even small leaders like Zhang Han were responsible for carrying a large amount of supplies on the road every day.
"Everyone should repair on the spot for half a quarter of an hour. After half an hour, there should be no delay and quickly follow the large army!"
Zhang Han was so tired that his whole body ached. He straightened up, glanced at his ten exhausted subordinates, and decisively gave the order to rest.
"No~"
"Wuhu~~!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinates quickly agreed, roared happily, and quickly collapsed around the chicken bus.
"I'm so exhausted!"
"Is this a war or a service? Lao Qi, tell me what General Meng is thinking..."
"He knows nothing! You might as well ask him..."
"..."
Seeing his subordinates who were paralyzed and complaining constantly, Zhang Han's lips curled up involuntarily!
Later, Zhang Han also took off his wet helmet, took out a water bottle from his waist and took a few big sips.
The cold water soaked into the heart and spleen, completely dispelling the fatigue all over the body.
"Hiccup~" He burped contentedly.
"Ba Shi!~" Zhang Han murmured softly,
Start leaning on the chicken bus. His eyes began to stare at the direction he was going to...
.......
AD 1234, the third year of Jin Tianxing's reign, the twelfth lunar month.
Although most of the land of China has been swept by the Siberian cold current, the cold weather still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for conquering each other!
Year after year, year after year.
In this desolate fertile land, wars are always going on endlessly. This isn't the first time, and it definitely won't be the last.
...
Time flies.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Caizhou (later Zaoyang, Hubei).
At this time, the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom who were trapped in the city were preparing to stage a drama of surrender.
At the age of 36, Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu finally made the decision to cede the throne of the Jin Kingdom to Wanyan Chenglin, a descendant of the royal family.
The reason why Jin Aizong Wanyan Shouxu made such a decision. It's not because Wanyan Chenglin is so talented, it's just because the Jin Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and he himself doesn't want to become a subjugated king.
"Come here, go and bring Wanyan Chenglin to me."
After thinking about it, Emperor Jin Ai immediately gave instructions to the eunuch waiting beside him.
The eunuch who was motionless just now, waiting beside Emperor Jin Ai like a wood carving and stone sculpture, seemed to come to life in an instant.
"promise!"
Immediately after he responded, he picked up his skirt and ran out of the hall quickly with small steps.
Although the eunuch trotted out the door, he didn't make a sound. This level of skill is something that ordinary people would never be able to achieve even after ten or eight years of practice.
Emperor Jin Ai, who was watching the eunuch slowly disappear from his sight, walked around the hall with a worried look on his face, looking in the direction outside the city through the huge buildings from time to time.
.......
At this time, outside Caizhou City,
Tens of thousands of Song and Mongolian troops had besieged the huge Caizhou airtight for more than three months.
The remaining Jin army in the city is now facing the dilemma of having no reinforcements from outside and no food and grass inside. Under such a crisis, the Jin Dynasty was actually in a situation of extinction at any time, and there was no chance or possibility of a comeback.
In front of the Song army array in Nancheng.
A general wearing armor, holding a sword, and riding a big black horse. He was patrolling back and forth along the gaps in the Song Army's array, followed by a group of senior generals in the Song Army.
The general's face was resolute, his eyes were shining, and there seemed to be something called confidence flowing through his deep eyes at all times. Whenever his eyes swept across the soldiers in the army, the other party would always straighten his chest and stare at his commander with a fanatical look on his face.
At this moment, a young crossbow captain at the rear of the military formation was following the same example as the others. Staring intently at this famous Southern Song general - Meng Gong, who will leave a mark in the history of the Southern Song Dynasty in the future and is known as the fourth generation of the Yue Family Army.
And this young crossbow captain who was inconspicuous in the military formation was none other than Zhang Han!
Previously, after a month of trekking through mountains and rivers, his Song army finally arrived outside Caizhou City in November.
When he first arrived in Caizhou, even though Zhang Hanxin occupied a body that was nearly twice as strong as in his previous life, his legs were trembling from exhaustion.
Fortunately, the generals asked each army to take turns to repair immediately in order to keep up with their physical strength for future battles, so Zhang Han and his team recovered.
When the Song army first arrived, the Mongolian army had already surrounded the city of Caizhou for more than several months.
Tachar, the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, wanted to overwhelm the defenders in the city. Unexpectedly, the soldiers and civilians in the city were very determined to resist and never surrendered. In order to resist the Mongolian army, the soldiers and civilians in the city even killed horses in the city for food and continued to fight against the Mongolian army outside the city.
The rising will of Caizhou's military and civilians to resist caught the Mongolian army's top brass by surprise. The city was not overwhelmed, so it was just that the previous plan did not come true. What's annoying is that in the end, we almost ran out of ammunition and food.
Just when the Mongolian generals were at a loss what to do, they were in a dilemma.
The arrival of Zhang Han and his Song army not only made the besieging city more powerful, but the 300,000 stones of military rations they carried also solved the urgent need of the Mongolian army at this time.
The Song and Mongolian coalition forces, which had sufficient supplies of supplies, were no longer in a hurry to attack. They were prepared to fight a war of attrition with the Jin army in the city and completely defeat the Jin army in the city.
The Song and Meng families were in the honeymoon period at this time. After the two sides met, they quickly assigned the walls to attack each other. After that, they each began to carry out uninterrupted, small-scale tentative attacks on the city walls they were responsible for.
Among them, the Song Army was responsible for the southeast wall, and Zhang Han's Hundreds were assigned to the south gate where the main force of the Song Army was located.
Fortunately, as a crossbowman, Zhang Han only had to be responsible for suppressing the Jin Army shooters on the city wall behind the shield under the city. He did not need to directly participate in the siege and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Safety is somewhat guaranteed.
But even seeing only a small-scale trial attack made Zhang Han fully realize the cruelty of ancient war.
He not only saw the unscrupulous attacks used by both sides to achieve their goals.
Such as: digging rivers to irrigate cities, rolling logs and building stones, using ladders to rush cars, urinating lime, etc.
It also allowed him to witness the tragedy of dehumanization in the ancient war between the two sides.
Zhang Han once saw with his own eyes that the Mongols and Song Dynasties threw the captured Jin people directly into the oil pan because of the lack of kerosene, squeezing out the fat from their bodies.
At that time, bursts of miserable screams from civilians reached his ears, and the smell of fried human flesh penetrated his nose. This hellish mess made Zhang Han, who had grown up with modern education, stunned!
At that time, he felt as if he was in front of the execution ground of purgatory instead of the clear world!
That was also the first time he cried in this world.
At that time, he didn't feel in his heart that there was anything wrong with the Song and Mongolian armies massacring the people of the Jin Dynasty, because there were many such things in history. There are so many things going on, right and wrong are no longer so important.
It was only because of the remaining humanity in his heart that he could not help but shed tears after witnessing this dehumanizing scene.
Now, this is finally coming to an end!
Zhang Han, who knew this period of history, knew that after Meng Gong inspected the troops this time, he would join the Mongolian army to launch a fatal blow to the crumbling Caizhou!
really! Historical inertia is still so strong.
After Meng Gong led his men to inspect all the Song troops, he began to stand on a high platform in front of the soldiers' formation and deliver a speech before the attack.
After scanning the soldiers below, he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at Caizhou City in the distance, and shouted;
"Brothers Pao Ze, have you seen the city in front of you? The dog emperor of the Jin Kingdom is lingering inside.
At this time, we will complete the great mission of our Song people and completely wash away the shame brought to us by the Jin people a hundred years ago!
I believe it! Each of you deeply remembers the humiliation that the Golden Dog brought to us Song people during the Jingkang period. After they captured our capital;
Slaughter our subjects. Captivate our king. Insulting our wives and daughters.
There are too many crimes to be revealed!
But a hundred years later, the current situation has changed, and the offense and defense have changed.
Dear Paoze brothers! Take up our swords, guns and spears. At this moment, the time to avenge shame has arrived!
Meng decided that the entire army would attack the city tomorrow morning and take revenge! "
…
Meng Gong's loud voice, as if a loudspeaker was installed, was clearly transmitted to the ears of every soldier in the Song army.
Meng Gong's recent words also completely stirred up his men's hatred towards Jin Jun.
Under the high platform, tens of thousands of soldiers unconsciously turned red when they heard this, and they all shouted;
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!"
The hoarse shouts of tens of thousands of people soared into the sky, shattering the white clouds floating in the sky!
