Chapter 1653 End-of-life entrustment
The two flames collided, and sparks burst out with a loud bang, but the next scene that stunned the soldiers on both sides appeared. The originally surging flames actually became smaller with the naked eye!
"Is this person a god?" Many soldiers in the Jin Kingdom exclaimed in surprise, and even Pusan Zhongyi was a little shocked. Using fire to put out fire was beyond everyone's common sense. The soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty even regarded Guo Jing as a god, and their morale, which was originally down to the extreme, suddenly rose.
Song Qingshu smiled slightly. Guo Jing's actions coincided with what he had just thought. He was worried that he could not remind him, but he didn't expect that he had thought of this method himself.
It is not a secret to extinguishing fire with fire. Once the fire rises, the air is heated and raised to a high altitude, resulting in a very low air pressure at the center of the fire. The air pressure outside the fire is a relatively high pressure, causing a powerful air flowing towards the fire. At this time, arson fire outside the fire will be set on the outside of the fire, and the fire will be blown to the fire by the airflow, burning the combustible material between the fire source and the fire. Then, due to the lack of combustible material, the fire will be extinguished.
Of course, doing this requires cleaning up an isolation belt in advance, otherwise it will easily cause backfire if you are not careful. This is why Guo Jing arranged for soldiers to clean up the reeds in front of the camp in advance.
Song Qingshu looked over there with some confusion. He was because of his relevant physics knowledge and there were news reports in later generations. Australia often used this method to put out fires, but how could Guo Jing's elm-head come up with such a trick? Is Huang Rong by his side?
In fact, this is purely because he was thinking about it. The reason why Guo Jing did this trick was related to his experience of laying horses and sheep on the Mongolian grasslands when he was a child. Sometimes the herdsmen would use this trick to put out the fire when they encountered grassland fires. Although those herdsmen did not understand physics, they were also the experience accumulated and explored by their ancestors.
Taking advantage of the Jin people's loss of consciousness, Guo Jing led his cavalry to rush out from the ground, used the gap caused by the fire to break through the encirclement and run towards the vast mountains.
Pusan Zhongyi was angry and anxious, and hurriedly dispatched troops to start surrounding and blocking. Dai Qisi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Guo Jing has only a few hundred cavalry, why mobilize such a group of troops? He has already lost all kinds of troops and generals along the way. Don't forget that our most important target is the main force of the Song army." She was instructed by Song Qingshu. Although she was unwilling, she still came out to try to dispel Pusan Zhongyi's idea.
"The Marshal doesn't know anything," explained Pusan Zhongyi, "We personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack hundreds of people in the Southern Song Dynasty. If we cannot eliminate them, we will lose all our prestige and will not be able to dispatch troops in the future. At the same time, it will greatly boost the morale of the Southern Song army and civilians, and we will have more ambitions to fight the Northern Expedition. As for the main force in Suzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, it has long been defeated for thousands of miles, which is not worth worrying."
Song Qingshu sighed in his heart. At this point, the matter is so difficult to get rid of, and even if you want to give up, it is impossible.
"Marson, don't worry," perhaps because he noticed Dai Qisi's strangeness, Pusan Tadaoyi thought the commander was worried about something, and explained, "I just arranged heavy troops in advance on the front road just in case. This time Guo Jing was unable to fly even if he had wings."
After thinking along the way, Song Qingshu gradually calmed down. It would not work if he had to let Guo Jing leave in full view, but he could have tried to save him after he was arrested, as long as he was not almost buried in the fire like before.
When Dai Qisi and Pusan Zhongyi finished communicating and a group of people caught up, the soldiers in front came to report. It turned out that Guo Jing tried to break through several times, but unfortunately the way he went had already been blocked. In desperation, he had to lead the remnants up a small hill, using the characteristics of the mountains and forests to resist the rain of arrows of the Jin people, and at the same time he had a condescending advantage in the geographical advantage.
The Jin soldiers in front had organized several charges, but they were blocked by the opponent's use of bows and arrows to fall rocks.
After listening to the soldiers' reports, Pusan Zhongyi was not angry but happy: "This mountain is not big, and I have been surrounded by me on all sides. They finally can't escape!"
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly. According to the soldiers' reports just now, this hill has no water source or food. It can be said to be a military tyrant, but Guo Jing and others are desperate. If they don't go to this tyrant, they might die immediately under the siege of Jin soldiers. They can temporarily delay time when they go up. This is the situation that drinking poison to quench thirst.
"If you pass the order, everyone will set up camp at the foot of the mountain. They will soon lose their combat effectiveness." As a famous general, Pusan Zhongyi knew very well that in this case, he would let the soldiers take turns to harass the other party in batches. However, in the past few days, he has tracked Guo Jing and suffered various losses. Although in his opinion, as long as he can catch Guo Jing, no matter how much sacrifice it is, the middle and lower-level soldiers may not understand. If more than ten thousand people pursue hundreds of people and the losses are too great in the end, the criticism of him will never be small.
In addition, Guo Jing showed off his fire with fire, and the morale of the Jin army was greatly affected. Therefore, he also needed to slow down the soldiers first. When the Song army was hungry and thirsty, the morale of the Jin army should be almost recovered, so that the losses could be minimized.
Let’s talk about the Jin army camping, and dozens of Song soldiers remaining on the mountain surrounded Guo Jing and said, “Master Guo, we are bound to die now. You have great martial arts skills, so leave alone in the night.”
After several days and nights of pursuit, there are only dozens of people left in these 480 cavalrymen, and many of them are seriously injured, who may die at any time. The rest are injured, and it is estimated that they will not last long.
Hearing their words, Guo Jing turned a furious: "I, Guo, are not the kind of person who is greedy for life and fears death! Guo can never do this kind of abandoning his comrades."
The soldiers advised: "God-Shad, we will never be able to escape under this situation. In addition, the previous incident of bullying the wife and daughter of the Jin soldiers in Xuzhou before, even if they were caught, they would only suffer torture and die. There is no second way. You are different. Your martial arts are the most powerful. Without the drag of us, you may still be able to escape by the night." They no longer call them official positions, but call them Guo Da-Shadow, which is obviously because they have long been influenced by his reputation. Now at the critical moment of life and death, all official positions are clouds. Only the sincerity of respect will make them make such suggestions.
"Daxia Guo must not have psychological burden. The reason why we are in a desperate situation this time is that Wuyi doctor Chen Xiaoqing abandoned his comrades. We need Guo Daxia to return to the court to expose Chen Xiaoqing's shameless behavior and avenge us, otherwise we will die with our eyes open!" Obviously, they did not forget who harmed them, and said one by one.
"Yes, we can also cover up Daxia Guo while we still have some strength. If we take it for a long time, we may not be able to help you."
Everyone persuaded Guo Jing with one word and another. Guo Jing's face was as deep as water, and finally said in a deep voice: "You don't have to say anything anymore. I will never run away alone. As for Chen Xiaoqing abandoning his comrades, there are so many people on the battlefield, he can't stop his mouth after all. Sooner or later, the court will avenge us."
Seeing that they were going to say something else, Guo Jing took off his armor and said, "I have no intention. Don't follow me, let me kill the Marshal of the Jin Kingdom alone!"
Hearing the determination in his tone, the soldiers all had tears in their eyes: "Hiss Guo, let's go with you!"
Guo Jing shook his head and said, "No, if you go together, the goal is too big and it will be easily discovered by the Jin people in advance."
Hearing him say this, the soldiers were inconvenient to say anything else, and they all looked at him with a little sob, because they knew that the other party would ride alone to the camp, and this would probably be a life of death. No, it should be a life of death.
Guo Jing said in a deep voice: "If I succeed in my journey, the Jin army will inevitably be in chaos. You must seize this opportunity to break out; if this assassination fails..."
He was silent for a long time before saying, "Then Guo will take a step first, take care of yourself."
"Hiss Guo!" A group of people grabbed his arm with sobs, and several young soldiers couldn't help sobbing.
Guo Jing patted everyone's hands, turned around and walked down the mountain. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said in a very sigh: "Whether I succeed or fail in this trip, I guess I can't survive. It's a pity that I can't see my unborn child. If anyone can be lucky enough to return to Lin'an, and when you see Zhujing in the future, tell her that I'm sorry for her. After the child is born, if it's a daughter, I will be named Guo Xiang. We and our husbands spend most of our time guarding Xiangyang, which is also a memorial. If it's a son, we will be named Polu, intending to expel the Tartars."
After saying that, he waved his hand behind him casually, and then used his light skills to disappear into the forest.
Let’s talk about Song Qingshu being with Dai Qisi. He is now studying the strategy of attacking the mountain with a group of senior officers such as Pusan Zhongyi in the tent. Suddenly, a riot came from outside. Pusan Zhongyi said dissatisfied: “What’s so noisy!”
"Go back to the general, there are...assassins!" The guard at the door replied in panic.
"Assassin?" Pusan Zhongyi laughed in anger. This is a military camp, not a palace or a minister's residence. There are tens of thousands of troops outside, so how could an assassin appear?
"Please avoid the marshal and all the generals. The assassin is rushing towards this side!" The boiling sound outside became louder, and the guard's voice became more and more panicked.
"It's outrageous! Are the tens of thousands of troops under my command set up?" Pusan Zhongyi was still full of anger after chasing him these days. He was worried that there was no place to exhale, but when he saw this, he drew his sword and ran out.
When the other generals saw that the lords had all gone out, they naturally did not dare to neglect them. They drew their swords and followed them out. These people had been fighting for life, and they were all skilled in their archery and horses. In addition, such a group of people gathered together, so they naturally did not fear any assassins in their base camp.
Song Qingshu and Dai Qisi looked at each other and followed them out.
When they arrived outside the camp, a group of personal guards had already surrounded the three levels of inside and outside in front of everyone. From a distance, they saw a horse like a tiger entering the wolves, invincible along the way, and rushed towards this side.
Many Jin soldiers tried to stop him, but unfortunately the man immediately set his bow and arrows, and several people fell to the ground. The Jin soldiers who were slightly closer to the horse were cut by him with a big knife and slashed blood.
