The clouds covered the sun and the sky was overcast. There is no wind. There seemed to be snowflakes in the sky, but I couldn't see them. I just occasionally felt something hitting my face, making it feel cool. The leaves have fallen and the mountains are bare. There are just a few unfading pine trees, still stubbornly retaining a touch of green.
Rong Sanlang climbed up the hill and took a long breath. Looking back at the foot of the mountain, a Luo River is like a belt. Behind him, his wife followed with her two children, and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily. After sitting there for a while, he suddenly buried his head in his arms and started crying.
Sighing, Rong Sanlang took out the gourd filled with water, opened the lid and handed it to the child. He said: "Save your drink, it's not easy to find water on the mountain."
Shiro nodded, holding the gourd in his hand, not daring to pour the water out, but just licking the mouth of the bottle.
Rong Sanlang sat down on the top of the mountain and looked at Shouan City at the foot of the mountain. The city is located in the south of Luoshui River, sandwiched between Luoshui River and Jinping Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is difficult. The Luo River Valley suddenly narrows here, leaving a very narrow valley in the east of the city.
Yesterday afternoon, Wu Shu's army arrived outside Shouan City and camped at the foot of Jinping Mountain in the east of the city. Early this morning, Wu Shu led his army to challenge outside Shouan City. It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Dong Xian led his troops out of the city to fight.
At this moment, a head popped out from behind the mountain in front and shouted to Rong Sanlang: "Brother, where are you from? Where are you going?"
Rong Sanlang was surprised. Judging from the appearance of the man, he was a nearby farmer. He said boldly: "I am from Daliushu Village by the Luohe River. Because I can't stay at home, I want to find a quiet place in the mountains to support my family."
After hearing this, the man turned back. After a while, he stuck his head out again and said, "Are you really a family member nearby?"
Rong Sanlang smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the helpless farming family, who would drag their family up the mountain in this weather?"
The head shrank back again. After a while, a man jumped out from behind the mountain. The man was tall and had only one broken foot, so he walked with a limp. When he arrived, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm relieved that you are a refugee. I've seen you guys coming up the mountain a long time ago. I'm afraid you're coming from a bad way, so I don't dare to say hello."
Rong Sanlang stood up hurriedly, returned the salute and said: "Who is my brother? He is hiding in the mountains during the cold winter months."
The man said: "I am Qi Qing, who is from Hekou Village in the east of the city. The golden captives arrived a few days ago, looted all the food in the village and killed many people. They also tied up all the young men in the village and said they were transporting food. Everyone. Seeing that they couldn’t survive, they fled to the mountains together.”
As he spoke, Qi Qing pointed to Rong Sanlang's wife and children and said, "Is this my brother's wife and children?"
Rong Sanlang nodded: "Yes. Alas, wars have been frequent in recent years, and these are the only people left in my family. Dalang was captured by King Qin's army in Luoyang and disappeared. The year before last, Dong observed the recruitment, and Erlang obeyed Jun, died in the battle a few days ago. My mother at home got the news and died. Now the golden captives are here again, grabbing food and catching people everywhere. They really can't survive, so they can only hide in the mountains."
After asking Rong Sanlang about his situation, Qi Qing took his family to a mountain col on the leeward side. There were more than a dozen people inside, and I don’t know how many of them they were divided into. According to Qi Qing, they were all nearby people who hid in the mountains because the Jin people were robbing food and arresting people.
Rong Sanlang looked at everyone and sighed: "In this battle, there are no people in the Luo River Valley below -"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Unless you really can't survive, who is willing to give up your home? No matter how bad your family is, you still have a few acres of land.
At the foot of the mountain, Dong Xian looked at the Jin army opposite and said in a deep voice: "In today's battle, the prestige of the Jin people must be destroyed! If not, there will be endless troubles!"
Zhang Qi crossed his hands and said: "The last general will lead a hundred men to disrupt the Jin army's formation!"
Dong Xian turned to look at Zhang Qi and nodded heavily: "Okay! Be careful! The Jin army will win every battle, don't look down upon!"
Zhang Qi promised. He picked up his point steel gun and tightened the mace on his back. He stepped forward and took a closer look at the Jin army's formation. He led a hundred cavalry and jumped out of the formation with a sharp shout. With the cavalry, they rushed towards the Jin army's right wing near Luoshui.
Wu Shu saw it under Shuai's banner and said coldly: "You are really looking for death!"
An urgent order was sent to the personal soldiers to go to the right wing, and the rangers guarding there were ordered to fight.
Zhang Qi led his troops and rushed less than a hundred steps away from the Jin army's formation. Hundreds of knights rushed out of the formation, bending their bows and shooting arrows. After firing two or three arrows in succession, the knight rode around Zhang Qi to find his way back. Behind the sound of a drum that exploded in the sky came from the Jin Army formation, a wall-like spear was raised.
Zhang Qi just urged him forward. When he arrived at the front of the formation, he waved his spear in his hand and used his infinite strength to open a hole in the Jin army's spears and rush in on his prancing horse. The one hundred cavalrymen behind shouted together and followed Zhang Qi closely.
The spear in his hand was like a dragon, forcefully forcing the sword and spear in front of him away. Zhang Qi pulled out the mace from behind and slammed it on the helmet of the golden soldier beside him.
Suddenly, there were shouts of killing, and Zhang Qi led a hundred people to smash into the Jin army's formation.
Dong Xian's face was as dark as water, watching Zhang Qi lead the army straight to the Jin army's rear line. After a while, he said: "After all, they are strong soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. The military formation was almost penetrated by Zhang Qi, but it was still not in chaos! Play the drum to boost Zhang Qi's morale!"
With the loud beating of drums, the Song army rushed into the Jin army's formation with greater momentum. Rushing left and right, unstoppable.
In the short time it took for a cup of tea, Zhang Qi had almost penetrated the Jin army's formation. When he turned around, he saw that he was too fast and the one hundred cavalry he led did not catch up. Then he turned the horse's head and turned back again. Receive your own cavalry and then fight forward.
Wu Shu saw something was wrong with the Song army's formation opposite, and said to Han Chang beside him: "We can't break through our army's formation. It seems that the Song army will not attack. You can bring one or two hundred cavalry to rescue the right army and drive these Song troops away." Get out of the military formation!”
Han Chang crossed his hands and promised. He led a hundred cavalry, marched out of the center, and attacked from behind to the right wing.
Zhang Qi, with his cavalry, was about to rush out of the Jin army's right wing, and then turned around to attack the Chinese army. He didn't want to bump into Han Chang who was coming from the Chinese army. With a loud shout, the two armies collided.
Zhang Qi saw Han Chang's spear coming towards him, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon. He hit the head of Han Chang's spear and was about to block it aside. Unexpectedly, Han Chang was so powerful that he locked the two spears together and stood there for a moment. The two shouted together, and saw a burst of sparks, and the two guns separated.
Han Chang looked at Zhang Qi across from him with burning eyes. He said loudly: "Who is on the other side? I don't think there is a hero like you in Dong Xian's army!"
Zhang Qi inserted the mace behind his back, held a spear in his hand, and said, "I'm Zhang Qi? Who are you?"
"Han Chang!" As he uttered these two words, Han Chang's spear was thrust into his chest.
Zhang Qi moved his horse to pass Han Chang's spear, and pierced Han Chang's ribs with a sharp spear.
Han Chang smashed the spear in his hand and blocked Zhang Qi's gun. He turned around and fought with Zhang Qi again.
Zhang Qi's men and the cavalry led by Han Chang also fought together. In the free area between the Jin army's right wing and the rear army, they were killed like crazy.
Dong Xian looked at the Jin Army formation in front with a loud killing sound. The Jin Army formation on the right wing slowly closed up, blocking Zhang Qi behind them. I felt anxious for a moment and stared straight ahead.
Wu Shu sneered. He didn't speak, just pressed the horse's bridle and looked at the Song army in front. Han Chang is a fierce general of the Jin army, and he must fight for the lead in every battle. I have been with Wu Shu for many years and I have never suffered a loss. General Song, who is charging into the battle today, wants to see what he is capable of.
