Zongze, who is over sixty years old, not only does not appear to be old and frail, but has extraordinary bravery.
He has been a local magistrate all his life and has governed the place all his life.
But no one knew that he, Zongze, had been practicing the art of war and practicing martial arts since he was a child.
For so many years, he only resented that he had no place to use himself. Now that he finally had the opportunity to restrain himself, he rushed out without hesitation.
He even shot two people first and then singled out another, killing three Jin scouts by himself.
But although Zongze was strong, the improvised soldiers around him did not have this ability. This group of people rushed forward in a disorderly manner. Instead of causing any casualties to those Jin people, they were chopped down by the remaining Jin people. Kill a lot.
Even the Jin man who was injured by an arrow bravely took the lead and killed several Song people.
Seeing this, Zongze didn't feel any urgency. He directly clamped the horse's belly and rushed out again. The horse spear in his hand went straight to the throat of a golden man.
Jinren, who had just seen Zongze display his power, knew that the old man was brave and did not dare to be careless at all. He directly used force to defeat ten groups in order to defeat skill with force.
But he misjudged Zongze's ability. He saw Zongze roar loudly, then rounded up the horse in his hand and waved it out. There was only a loud noise, and the golden man's tiger's mouth became bloody, and there was a long hair in his hand. The knife also flew into the sky, but Zongze remained motionless.
He even took the opportunity to swing his horse through his chest, killing him on the spot.
At this time, there was a sudden sound behind Zongze. It was a golden soldier trying to attack, but Zongze did not hesitate or look back.
At the same time as he dodged slightly, he turned the horse in his hand and stabbed it through his armpit.
Then the Jin man's spear passed through his face without hurting him at all, but Zongze's Ma Shan picked the Jin man to death.
Then Zongze flipped his wrist and threw Ma Shan back hard again.
But Ma Shan returned to his hand, and the golden man's body was thrown away by him, directly knocking a killing golden soldier off his horse.
Although he didn't fall to death, he still suffered broken muscles and fractures and was unable to move. He was quickly surrounded by many people from the Song Dynasty.
At this time, there were only three Jin scouts left. At this moment, they finally knew that they had offended someone they could not offend this time. Without caring about their face, the three of them turned their horses around and escaped without hesitation.
But they wanted to escape, but Zongze didn't agree.
With a loud shout, he galloped up to catch up with the last golden man, and then quickly slashed the back of his neck with the horse knife in his hand. Before the golden man could react, he was beheaded.
At the same time, before the Jin's body fell off the horse, he grabbed the bow and arrow on his horse with one hand, bent his bow and shot an arrow to kill another Jin scout.
At this time, the last Jin scout had escaped some distance and was untying the rope to throw off the Han woman who was slowing down his horse.
But before he succeeded, he suddenly felt a whistling sound, followed by a huge force rushing in from the back of his heart, and then a sharp pain.
He saw a bloody horse stick coming out of his chest.
That was when Zongze used Ma Shu as a spear and threw it violently, piercing his chest.
With eyes full of disbelief, he fell to the ground. At the same time, the golden man who had fallen off his horse and was surrounded was also successfully chopped into a pulp.
Total destruction!
Zongze looked at the corpses around him and couldn't help but take a deep breath and shouted.
"What's the battle damage?"
Only then did everyone react, and after a moment of panic, a soldier jumped out of his horse.
"General, nine of the enemy were killed, thirty-five were killed, seventeen were injured... nine were killed."
The man sank down as he spoke his own words. In dealing with nine golden men, he actually injured more than half of them, and Zongze killed eight of the nine golden men.
In other words, even though a group of them paid more than half of the casualties to kill a Jin scout, they were still injured.
This kind of achievement really makes them not happy at all, and they are left with only helplessness.
After seeing this scene, Zongze did not blame him at all. Instead, he smiled and rode his horse slowly towards them.
“Do you think the cost of these casualties is high?
At that time, our Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin formed a maritime alliance to attack the Liao Kingdom and regain the land of Yanjing. Our Song Dynasty's 200,000-strong army went north to Yanyun, but in the end they returned with a disastrous defeat, with no survivors left.
In recent years, when the Song Dynasty attacked the Liao Kingdom and fought against the Jin Kingdom, it often took hundreds of soldiers to hold back one Jin soldier.
Is this because the Song Dynasty is weak and the Liao and Jin Dynasties are strong?
No, this is the fear in our hearts, just like the fear in your hearts now!
Old man, I am already sixty-five years old. An old man of this age is still able to kill eight golden soldiers. Why is this?
Because I am fearless, because I am not afraid!
Death means death. Our family members are dead, our home has been destroyed, and we have nothing to care about anymore. What are we still afraid of?
Are you afraid of being reunited with your family after you die?
Or are we afraid that we will not be able to see our ancestors after we die?
Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, the atmosphere in the government has changed. Your Majesty needs us to fight to the death to protect our home and country. Is it just for Your Majesty's sake?
For us, for our deceased family members, and for the Song people behind us!
Even without the Yellow River, Kaifeng City still has a strong wall, a hundred thousand forbidden troops, countless warriors who are good at conquering and fighting, and loyal guards.
What is your Majesty worried about?
His concern is what should we do?
Cizhou was captured, and we became like this. Our family was gone, and our home was gone. Is it possible that we have to feel this kind of pain again?
More than half of the casualties are nothing, we won!
Riding such low-quality war horses, handling weapons that you don't know how to use, and fighting with this group of golden scouts, you must know that only the real elite can become scouts.
If you can kill one person and win, it means you have won!
There are more than tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, and how many Jin soldiers are there?
Not to mention thirty-five people in exchange for one person, even if it is fifty people, what can a hundred people do? We can kill all the golden soldiers, but can they destroy our Song Dynasty! "
Zongze's words fell into the ears of these people word by word. There was no great principle of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and there was nothing nonsense that they could not understand.
Some are the simplest and most sincere things.
Your Majesty also has Kaifeng, soldiers, and countless loyal and courageous people protecting us.
But what about them, what do they have?
The only one who can protect them is yourself!
A way out? They have no way out!
Seeing that everyone had recovered, Zongze immediately raised his arms.
"You, please follow me to surround Cizhou and kill the golden dog!"
"I'm willing! I'm willing! I'm willing!"
Three consecutive shouts, one louder than the other, announced that this soldier was barely formed.
"With these Jin heads and war horses, let's return to Cizhou!"
"I'll obey!"
After making a promise, Zongze led everyone back to Cizhou. When they returned to the outside of Cizhou City, there was already a commotion.
Ever since Zongze really rushed out with less than a hundred men, everyone was waiting for the result. They didn't know that this would be a weakling who only talked about protecting his family and country but actually went into hiding.
He is also a traitor who takes advantage of the opportunity to kill good people and take credit.
Or is he a real hero?
If he is the last one, can he come back alive?
As time passed, they became more and more anxious, fearing that they would see something that would disappoint them again.
Until Zongze returned, everyone's hearts slowly sank when they saw half of the manpower missing and the motionless corpse carried on the horse.
Failed again!
Even though they were prepared, they still felt a little sad when this happened before their eyes.
"This...at least they didn't take advantage of the good guys, which is a good thing..."
Suddenly someone said this silently, and it was unclear whether it was a compliment or a mockery.
But when Zongze came to them, the atmosphere changed again.
Because they saw something different.
"Why are there still women? Why did they bring back a woman!"
"The war horses are also wrong. Those war horses are so majestic, they are not Cizhou war horses!"
"There's still stuff, they brought stuff back."
At this moment, everyone's hearts were raised again, and everyone was looking forward to it, wanting to know what happened.
Zongze took the lead, holding a bloody human head in his hand, riding his horse directly to the gate of Cizhou, and threw the head in his hand onto the city wall.
"Take a look, what is this!"
With his roar, the head fell in front of everyone. His face was ferocious and dripping with blood, but the dry and rough skin and the three-dimensional facial features proved that he was not a Han.
"This...is this a golden man?"
"They really killed the golden man..."
"No, they killed more than one!" Suddenly a scream came, followed by heads one by one being thrown onto the city wall, which were the trophies of their expedition this time.
"One, two, three...nine...a total of nine heads! They killed nine golden soldiers in total!"
The city gate slowly opened, and the people stood on both sides of the road as if welcoming a hero, allowing Zongze to lead his soldiers and horses slowly through them.
At this moment, Zongze's face was calm, neither sad nor happy.
But the soldiers who followed him out, whether they were intact or injured, all held their heads high, and they felt proud from the bottom of their hearts.
The previous morale and the previous fighting all turned into a deep sense of pride at this moment.
They were heroes who went out to fight, and they really avenged their relatives!
Especially the injured soldiers, they straightened their waists at this moment, letting the blood flow on their bodies, feeling the looks of the people around them.
They feel that even if they die now, it will be worth it.
Entering from the city gate and walking slowly to the top of the city, more and more people gathered. They all wanted to see what the general who really dared to lead a hundred people out to fight against the Jin looked like.
I really want to see what the hero who killed the golden soldiers and returned looks like.
Seeing this scene, Zongze finally smiled.
"Someone, hang the golden man's head on the city gate tower and let them see. The golden man is also mortal!"
"Follow your orders!" After hearing Zongze's words, an old soldier shouted without hesitation, and then led people to hang the heads one by one, so that more people could see the golden man's heads. , the whole Cizhou started to get excited.
"Don't be excited yet, we just killed nine Jin people today, and more Jin people will come to take revenge soon!
You think, what should I do?
The Jin people are coming for revenge, should we escape?
If you want to escape, think about whether you can escape their fast horses!
Since we can't escape, we will wait here, in Cizhou, to fight to the death with the Jin people.
Let more Jin heads hang on this Cizhou!
Today, I ask you again, do you dare to fight the Jin people with me and avenge your family? "
"dare!"
"dare!"
"dare!"
