Looking at the hot water boiling not far away, Rourou licked her lips. He gently pulled the corner of Brother Qing's clothes and whispered: "I'm thirsty——"
Brother Qing was startled and hurriedly covered Rourou's mouth. He said: "Be patient, be patient. When you reach the road, there must be a small river. Then I will find water for you to drink. These people want to eat people, but they don't dare-"
Having said this, he saw a Jurchen walking over and hurriedly shut his mouth.
Qilang on the side glanced at Rourou, with some helplessness in his eyes.
The Jurchen walked up to them and glanced at the three of them. He said: "The mountain is not far ahead. Bo Jin said that he can no longer take you with him, which slows down our speed. The scenery here is wonderful, and it is enough to be a place for you to die."
Brother Qing opened his hands to protect Qilang and Rourou behind him. He said: "You are about to leave the mountain. You have no need of us, so let us go."
The Jurchen laughed after hearing this: "No matter how fast we go, it will still take two or three days. We can't go hungry. I've taken you all these days just for today, isn't it? Look at your delicate skin and tender flesh. It must taste good.”
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the Jurchens over there laughing together.
Brother Qing turned around and looked at Rourou and Qilang. He saw them with frightened faces, huddled behind him like frightened birds. He turned around and looked up at the Jurchen in front of him and said: "There are deer pheasants in the woods next to you. You can kill a few of them to eat. Can you let them both go? I learned a song a few days ago. Let me listen to you, okay? After you listen to this song, let them go."
"The moon shines brightly on Kyushu. Some families are happy and some are sad. Some couples are sharing tents, and some are wandering outside."
This is a song passed down from the people of the Central Plains to the south during the Jianyan period. Countless people from the Central Plains sang this song and walked to Jiangnan and Lingnan, never to return to their hometown again. Brother Qing's singing voice is not good, his voice is a bit immature at a young age, trembling and a bit sad.
"Noisy!" The Jurchen leader next to him was impatient. He strode over and kicked Brother Qing to the ground.
The breeze blew gently over the hills, and the woods made a rustling sound. A cloud floated from the sky, covering the sun above the head, and suddenly there was an eerie feeling between the sky and the earth. The song did not disperse, but passed through the treetops and spread in all directions.
Brother Qing fell to the ground, secretions leaking from the corners of his mouth. Suddenly he thought of his grandfather, who depended on each other for life. When I was still ignorant, my parents went to another world, and it was my grandfather who brought me up. Although people in the village don't like him, Brother Qing thinks that he is the kindest person in the world. I wonder where my grandfather is and whether he will cry for me.
"Pengzi shines in Kyushu, some families are happy and some are sad——"
Jiang Min lay half in the tent, looking at the moonlight outside. The moon is very bright tonight, the moonlight is cold and shining like water. The chirping of cold insects is particularly clear at night in autumn, as if it can penetrate the darkness.
"The Sword Comes"
The Jin army is on the other side of the mountain. The road has been explored, and the army will kill them directly in the early morning tomorrow.
On the night before the battle, Jiang Min couldn't sleep. This is the first battle he has commanded since joining the army, so he cannot make any mistakes. Only by destroying these twenty-odd Jin armies will the merits be considered complete. But Jiang Min always felt that there was something inexplicable and unusual about this war.
It's not yet dawn, but Jiang Min's men have already finished their work. Standing in the dim light of the morning, everyone looked solemn.
Jiang Min stepped forward and said: "We were ordered by Commander Jie to cross the Yellow River and come to Hedong. One was to contact the heroes of Hedong, and the other was to have our own base behind enemy lines so that the Jin army could not sleep peacefully. As a result, we arrived in Shenshan County. Before anything could be figured out, the Jin army came over and killed them. Shenshan County was massacred by the Jin army, and countless people died. Although we took back the county seat, more than 20 people escaped. If we don't annihilate them all, this will happen. A battle is really not considered a success. Now the Jin Army is right in front of you. You all have to work hard to achieve success!"
All the soldiers promised.
Jiang Min looked at the soldiers in front and was silent for a while. He waved his hand violently: "Let's go!"
Song Jun walked through the mountains and forests without speaking, only making low rustling sounds. Support the team and escort the team in tandem, watching your subordinates to ensure that no one falls behind. Although the speed was not fast, the whole army marched very smoothly.
When a hint of fish belly white appeared in the east, Jiang Min had already led his men over the top of the mountain. Looking for an open place and looking down, Jiang Min said to Wang Gan: "The Jin army below is still sleeping, it is a good time for us! The order is given. There is no need to assemble in front of the Jin army. The troops of each team will support and escort the team. Take the lead and attack directly!”
The king dared to accept the promise and hurried away.
Not long after, the Song Army arrived at the Jin Army's camp at the foot of the mountain. A soldier took out a suona and suddenly started playing. The sound of suona resounded throughout the valley. The birds flew out of the woods in a daze, and the beasts came out of their sleeping places and looked around.
Along with the sound of the suona, whistles sounded one after another. I just felt that the woods were in chaos, and I didn’t know how many people there were.
Someone in the Jin Dynasty had just gotten up to boil water. They were startled by the sound of suonas and whistles and didn't know what was going on.
The Song army did not gather, but was directly led by the support team and the escort team, and rushed directly into the Jin army's camp. Each team was commanded by a whistle and divided into small groups to kill more than twenty golden soldiers. Many Jin soldiers had their heads chopped off with a knife while they were still sleeping.
When Jiang Min arrived at the valley, the battle was over. Some Song soldiers were patrolling the camp with knives, and some were tying up prisoners of war.
After walking around, Jiang Min said: "Du Wulin has been following us to find his grandson. Jin Bing is all here, why can't he see his grandson? Could it be that the road was not smooth and Jin Bing abandoned them?"
Wang Gan said: "In the mountains and forests, if a child is thrown away, isn't it a dead end?"
Jiang Min said nothing with a sullen face, just looking around.
Suddenly, a Song soldier shouted: "Look, what is this?"
Jiang Min heard the sound and rushed over. I saw a Jin Bing lying on the ground. He was stabbed in the abdomen and was struggling. The chest spreads out, revealing what's inside. Looking closely, it looks like a human arm.
Jiang Min suddenly pulled out the sword of the soldier beside him and pushed away Jin Jun's arms. A child's arm was exposed inside, looking pale.
Standing there quietly, Jiang Min looked at Jin Jun on the ground, thinking of nothing. I just felt blank and my whole body became numb. I've heard of this kind of thing before, but seeing it in real life still leaves me with an indescribable feeling.
He stood quietly like this for a while. Jiang Min suddenly turned around, holding a steel knife in her hand, half-kneeling on the ground, and spat it out. I haven't eaten anything in the past few days, and the vomited stuff was very clear. It didn't take long before I even vomited out bile.
Wang Gan was startled, stepped forward and whispered: "Control, we -"
Jiang Min waved his hand: "No need to ask about the prisoners, kill them all! Carefully search for the bodies of these children and bury them properly. Poor Du Wu followed us and took his life, but -"
Having said this, I raised my head and saw a red sun jumping out of the horizon and hanging in the vast sky.
The wind has stopped, and the whole world seems to have become silent. There were birds flying in the sky, and wild beasts running in the distance, but there was no sound. There is a stream flowing in the valley next to it, with fish swimming, and the stream slowly flows to the end of the sky.
