February 13, 19th year of the sixth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.

In the light snow that was as dusty as dust, there was murderous aura in the sky under the Yingzhou City Block. Standing in Longshouzhai, the highest point of the Yingzhou City Block Defense System, looking around, there were a stream of smoke rising ominously within a radius of dozens of miles, in this silver-white world, it seemed particularly shocking.

Under the military discussion, Guo Rong finally chose to protect Yingzhou City without going south, and stuck this passage that communicated with Datong Prefecture in Xijing and the Yunnei Prefecture.

The Jurchen Tartars suddenly appeared like ghosts, heading straight to the Yingzhou city gate, and divided their troops to plunder, break the Wubi Fortress, raise food and grass, and wrap up the strong. In the blink of an eye, the creatures were in trouble everywhere in Yingzhou, and there was a terrible miserable mist!

Outside the Yingzhou city gate, a military camp consisting of cowhide tents was built around the defense system of the city gate. It was the place where the Jurchen Taurus stationed troops. In the military camp, a black flag was fluttered high with beast tails adorned. It made people look alert. This flag shows that there was already a Jurchen Tartar general who was personally staying under the Yingzhou city gate!

The Jurchen military camp in front of him is not sufficiently strong. If the Jurchen Tartars' defensive civil and structural level can also reach the level of the Song Dynasty, it would be too outrageous.

The military camp in front of me had only surrounded a circle of fences and never dug moats. Even this circle of villages had many gaps, which made it easier for cavalry to enter and exit. It did not play any defensive role.

What are the arrow towers, the deer forts, the swords and guns, and the Meihua Village who guard and support each other, they all have no obligations. If other soldiers leave such military camps, the generals in Yingzhou City will point out elite troops without hesitation, flatten them in one fell swoop before speaking.

But the fear of the Jurchen Tartars is never their level of defense, but their fierce aura has not diminished, and they have honed their combat formation experience and command ability in countless battles. After destroying Liao, they greatly improved their strong armored and sharp soldiers. At this moment, their combat power is the best for every Jurchen Tartar in the world!

The military camp did not have a defense system, but the Jurchen whistle and patrol cavalry were all night long. In such cold weather, thick animal skins were wrapped in iron armor. Each person was paired with two horses, one horse carried people, and one horse carried food, cheese and wine. He was like a hungry wolf and circled around the Yingzhou city block.

The grease torches on the city block were lit, and in the flash of fire, I saw Jurchen patrols coming out of the darkness from time to time. They were silently separated or merged all night.

If there is any movement in Yingzhou City, it is impossible to hide these Jurchen Tartars who seem to be sleepless. Once they leave the city, a large group of Jurchen Tartar cavalry will come and attack head-on!

Every day at dawn, Jurchen military horses emerge from the camp. In this weather, even if the military horses from Yan were camping in the field camp, they would be half a person's life after they came out overnight. But the Jurchen Tartars didn't care at all, and they ate some jerky meat and boiled some snow water. They whistled out, dozens of people came and went like the wind, sweeping the Yingzhou city.

When they went to the walls, they were either unprepared in winter, or they were scared when they saw the Jurchen Tartars and broke them one after another. Fires rose up everywhere. Thousands of people tied them up with big ropes for the Jurchen Tartars and drove them away like dogs and sheep. They either carried the plundered food or grass, or removed the houses and shacks that they had originally relied on to avoid the cold, and brought materials to build a horse shed.

The Jurchens didn't care about the harsh environment they were in, but they valued their pedestals very much. Within one or two days, they built large shacks to keep the pedestals warm. The food rations of the Han people were robbed and used to feed the horses. The rags of the Han people were peeled off the body of the corpse, with blood. They were wrapped around the horses to keep warm.

In the snow, I don’t know how many Han people cried and struggled hard. They were driven by the Jurchens and Tartars to make their lives. I don’t know how many people were buried in this ice and snow in one or two days!

The Jurchen Tartars ran back and forth, driving away the massacres as a play. From time to time, rough laughter came out, which spread straight into the Yingzhou city block!

At this moment, the generals in the city, including Guo Rong, who were standing on Longshou Village, the highest point in Yingzhou City, were full of anger.

Guo Rong lifted her cloak hard, revealing the fine fish scale armor she was wearing. I don’t know if it was specially created by Xiao Yan who was a master of Bianliang who had found her. The armor leaves were fine and dense, and the pieces were made of cold iron forged, and they were very suitable. In addition to wearing the armor, she could also show her excellent figure with thin waists and long legs.

Guo Rong stomped her feet, and the sound of the armor leaves collided with shattered sounds, which was extremely clear. But Guo Rong's tone was full of anger: "Why can't you go out of the city and attack? I'll take the lead! Why do you have to kill a few Jurchen Tartars to vent your anger! Since we have obtained the states of Yunnei, we must let the people here live and work in peace and contentment, so we have to let them live barely. What is this?"

Tang Huai clenched his fists and refused to answer Guo Rong's words, and his joints were almost turned pale. A military general's face was also as angry as he was blue, but he forced himself to say to Guo Rong: "There are only a thousand people in the city wearing armor. It's enough to defend the city, but there is not enough attack. If it is broken and the defense is empty, it is because of a small loss..."

Although the city barrier in Yingzhou is small, the defense system is complete. The main city of troops is stationed, and the fortress is built layer by layer along the mountain. There is also a natural danger of Longshouzhai, which can be supported at the highest point and can store dozens of soldiers.

Thousands of men were wearing armor to defend the city, which was enough, but not much surplus. After all, going south to Hedong was the most important thing before. All the troops who could be drawn were drawn, and the soldiers in the city were almost the minimum limit.

Who knew that the Jurchens and Tartars were so dangerous that the weather was coming even more dangerously, and they were close to the Yingzhou city blockade?

It is also a chore to defend the city in winter. You have to stand guard on the city walls and wait for a few hours. You have to be stiff and change your defenses and take turns to rest. By doing this, the troops will be more tense.

It is because of insufficient troops that Guo Rong and the others did not use decisive means to deal with the hundreds of Meng Nuan troops in the city. It is no difficulty to kill all these two or three hundred people. Anyway, they are watching with vigilant eyes every move. But without these two or three hundred soldiers, there is a big gap in the strength of the defending city. It is even more difficult to persevere——Who knows when will the reinforcements in the south come?

If you leave the city with your will, it’s okay to win. If you lose, you will not only lose your troops and generals, but also use your troops to waste your troops. I’m afraid that even Meng Nuan’s troops will not be able to suppress them. Even the Yingzhou City Clan will be given up and told to go out.

How could Guo Rong not know the severity? She just looked at the tragic scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

She grew up in the army, and Guo Yaoshi was not a vegetarian at that time. I have not seen the tragic incidents of wars. But after she was also in trouble and her family was destroyed, she realized that in front of the thief God, everyone was just a toy in the hands of God! With her own side, she could no longer see the tragedy of separatism that happened almost every moment in the wars in the north. Not to mention, the cause of this tragedy is also her responsibility!

The general of the army also tried to persuade Guo Rong, and said angrily: "If you want to fight in the field, you will endure the Jurchen Tartars. The Jurchen army is only about a thousand people. Although they are also building some attack tools, these attack tools are simply a joke. Let them hit them! Let them see how many people they are going to die! If there are no three or five thousand people, don't want to pounce on the city. In this weather, the Jurchen Tartars are not real animals. They have thick hair on their bodies. They will have a lot of them to death. Yingzhou is not lost, and the two generals Han Yue from the south come up. Maybe there will be Xiao Xianmo. At that time, the Jurchen Tartars dare not leave, and they will cut off their heads and build Jingguan outside the Yingzhou City. I don't believe that these Jurchen Tartars cannot be killed!"

As he said that, he spat hard: "The Jurchen Tartars who are endlessly killed!"

Today, Guo Rong led the Longshou Village to all the hearts of her heart. Meng Nuan was not among them. So the general of the army told the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Xiao Yan happily. The generals around him raised their eyebrows.

As long as our army comes, as long as our army comes!

If Xiao Xianmo was also in the army and there were thousands of Jurchen Tartars, we would fight with you to the end. We would really kill these Jurchen Tartars so that you would know that the thief’s thief was a slaughter!

Guo Rong angrily punched the trumpet of the Longshou Village wall: "Okay, just believe that bad guy once. Let's see when he will come up! I'll wait for him! If he doesn't come, I'll fight to the death here. See if he can't sleep in the future!"

When the generals looked at each other, no one dared to let them in.

Guo Rong changed the topic again: "Where is Meng Nuan?"

A general replied: "I am patrolling the city gates and guarding me very diligently... I am surrounded by us, and I am always watching them. Once there is any change, the news will be delivered immediately. Although his army horses have not been arranged to be taken to the generals, there are always military horses on guard at any time. As long as they move, they can be cleaned up immediately. Please rest assured, Lord."

Guo Rong frowned.

Meng Nuan was in Yingzhou that day and opened the city without saying a word. Unexpectedly, it has become the biggest trouble now.

Whether it is guilty or not, it is just a matter of one sentence. Guo Rong is not so kind and ruthless. But what should he do if the 300 troops under his command are killed? He killed all the troops in the city, but he was worried about the troops he kept after taking Meng Nuan. And if things go wrong and some unpredictable changes occur, it will be a big deal that concerns the survival of Yingzhou City.

But when Meng Nuan is kept, she is worried all day long and is always on guard. Everyone is tense of a string, and she wishes she can do it and it will be cleaner.

The current method of handling is to release several military generals by Meng Nuan's name in the name of assisting, but he is not satisfied with the military generals leading the confidant of Meng Nuan. He must be prepared and dare not force too much, and only hope that the news can be spread at any time if there is any change. His confidant army horses are ready to take action at any time and may kill the possible changes in the city.

I was thinking about it all, and there might be a few wrinkles on my forehead.

After thinking about it, Guo Rong sighed and touched her smooth forehead worriedly. After finding that there were no wrinkles, she ordered helplessly: "Just keep a close eye."

The Jurchen Tartars came too quickly. Who knew how these more than a thousand soldiers could hide in the snow and ice? Suddenly they hid in front of them and forced the city to go down to the camp. They didn't even leave time for their own family to respond!

The generals bowed to take the order, and Guo Rong glanced at the messy military camp tents of the Jurchen Tartars outside the city: "Go back! Have a meal! These more than a thousand Jurchen Tartars hope that they will attack and fight hard, to see if these Jurchen Tartars are dead enough!"

After a roll of the fiery red cloak, Guo Rong turned around and left. The generals followed closely and walked down the village wall. Then he followed a rugged mountain road that only allowed one person to walk, and returned to the Yingzhou city blockade that was almost at his feet.

Tang Huai, who had been silent, fell to the end and inspected Longshou Village again.

This Longshou Village is almost hanging above the head of Yingzhou City Bullet, facing the cliff, and there is only an extremely steep and narrow mountain road in front of you. On Longshou Village, using a strong bow and hard crossbow alone can not only prevent the enemy from advancing, but also control all Yingzhou City Bullet. It is the last and most solid support here.

The top of the mountain is not large, and this Longshou Village is also a small village, with less than a capital of troops, with sixty or seventy people. The accumulation of grain and water can be used to support hundreds of people for two or three months. The rolling wood, stones, bows and arrows and guarding tools are also very reserved, so there is no need to be scarce. With this Longshou Village alone, it can support for a period of time and is the last way out.

The general who presided over the guard of Longshou Village was from Diao Mao and was the most confidant. After a short while of patrol with Tang Huai, who had never spoken, he looked at all the small Longshou Village.

At the end, Tang Huaicai finally spoke: "Precaution here. If the sky falls, don't worry about it!"

The general of the army finally waited until Tang Huai spoke and bowed to accept the order: "If the last general is here, this Longshou Village will be here!"

Then he hesitated and asked: "What big waves can these thousand Jurchens make? Can they just chew off the Yingzhou city?"

Tang Huai said nothing. At this time, the snow and dust were flying. He heard a horn sounding sound from north to south. From north to south, he came faintly.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

When Guo Rong and others were looking at the Jurchen army in Longshou Village, Yin Shuke also took Jurchen Zhu Mengan Mouke and immediately looked at the strong city in front of him.

Even though Silver Skill had already investigated Yingzhou City once, he was approaching his face and still sighed with this strong city.

The city block is built against the mountains, small and strong. The city block is covered with guards and soldiers on duty. The mountain road leading to the main city block is surrounded by small forts along the way. Each fort can accommodate dozens of people, with bows and arrows connected. To attack the main city block, you have to chew these small forts one by one.

When he rushed to the main city of Yingzhou City, he faced more than ten times the garrison force.

Longshou Village is hanging above the head of the main city gate. There is only one extremely narrow mountain road that can be accessed. If you roll a rock, you don’t know how many horses will be killed along this small road to attack the mountain. The Longshou Village has a strong bow and a hard crossbow. It can sprinkle arrow rains at any time, even if it attacks the main wall of Yingzhou City Gate, it will be unstable!

More than a thousand Jurchens under his command fought at the battle. Even if the enemy was overwhelmed, they rushed up. They killed a few more in and out, and did not let go. The more they fought, the more they became more energetic, until the enemy collapsed. However, when facing these city blocks, they were afraid that they would die, and they might not be able to shake this place!

When the Jurchen generals around him saw the city block in front of him, they were silent. Especially when they saw the Dragon-Shou Village, which was like an eagle nest above their heads, these Jurchen generals who had experienced many battles actually showed a hint of fear on their faces.

At this moment, the Jurchen army was not afraid of death, nor was it afraid of strong enemies. But when facing such a strong city that could not be broken even if the blood was drained, the intention of retreating could not be prevented!

Behind the hills where they stood, a large number of strong men were building attack tools. They lacked enough tools and did not have any skilled craftsmen. The progress was very slow, and there was no appearance of rushing cars, shields, etc. Not to mention that the regulations were larger and more complex to create attack tools such as catapults.

In winter, trees are withered and crisp, and they are cut down through endless hardships. Even if they are built, they are neither strong nor fire-resistant. The Jurchen generals who supervised the worker walked through the construction site, and the Jurchen yelled and cursed from time to time. From time to time, they drew their swords to kill people. In this wild workshop, there were corpses everywhere, crying everywhere, and people were frozen and fell into the snow. There were also constant people driving the Jurchen army horses, taking the tools with blood, and being in the Shura field.

A Meng'an looked at the city gate, then looked back at the place where the attacking tools were built. He shook his head and said, "Silver technique, this is not possible! The city gate in front of him cannot be defeated! Why not go back to find Lou Shi and the others, join forces to sweep the clouds and sweep the clouds. Clean up the hometown of these Liao dogs, and see if they can still hold on?"

One person spoke, and the Jurchen generals around him responded one after another, and no one wanted to order their tribesmen to go to this strong city to die.

"………There is not enough food! It is very poor here. After breaking so many villages, the food and grass we have seized can't last a month for our horses to eat. In a month, how can we open this place? There should be more food and grass in Loushi. If we keep going, the horses will die!"

"Juzhener, one person can beat ten Liao dogs and twenty Southern Dynasties barbarians! Give me a thousand people, and you won't be afraid of encountering tens of thousands of Liao dogs in the wild. But you won't let them die here for nothing! Yin Shu, don't be angry with Lou Shi. If you can fight, fight if you can, and leave if you can't. What's the matter?"

"The boys have suffered a lot. How can Zong Han tell me when he comes back? It will be almost done to sweep the clouds. When the spring begins, I will order the soldiers and take down the Bird City. The Liao princess is still afraid that she will run away?"

Silver whip hits the saddle, and he has a calm face and does not speak.

He has always been a firm southern attacking faction. When the rise of the Liao army in Yunnei, he keenly realized that something was wrong. Such a key place must not be controlled by the remnants of the Liao remnants, blocking the road to the Jurchen army to attack the Song south. And he could also go deep into the Song realm in the name of attacking the Liao remnants - after all, he is now in Shangjing. Whether to attack Song is still undecided.

As a famous general, how could he let go of such an opportunity?

After entering Hanoi this time, Meng Nuan also informed all the false and true aspects of the Restoration Army that he knew about Yingzhou and even Yunnei. Although Meng Nuan did not know the inside story, he could vaguely realize that the Restoration Army was not just a remnant of the Liao people, and there was no lack of shadows of the people from the Song Dynasty intervening!

After you can learn about the silver technique, it adds a little more urgent. If the people of the Southern Dynasty were allowed to control Yun Nei and capture all the remaining troops of Liao people who could fight. Then the Jurchen Western Route Army would be hindered in Datong Prefecture, Xijing, and would not be able to go south easily. I don’t know how much effort it will take to kill, and how many people will die!

If there were more barbarians in the Southern Dynasty, then when would the plan to defeat the Southern Dynasty be achieved?

In any case, the states in Yunnei must be in the hands of the Jurchens. The key points of Yingzhou are the top priority. This path must be opened no matter what!

When he heard the generals, he wanted to retreat. Yin Shuke said angrily: "If you can't go down in Yingzhou, do you still want to climb back over mountains and rivers? Or do you want to forcefully walk from Yingzhou Road and let Liaogou take our butts to beat us? You have to throw them all down. Are you willing to work hard in vain? If you want to leave, go and find Loushi. I will hit Yingzhou alone!"

Silver Skills are angry. These people are his most confidant Meng An. They are both prosperous and detrimental. They are both rich and detrimental. How could they go to Wanyan Loushi? Now everyone shut up and bow their heads, not daring to speak again.

Silver Technique can throw horses into the snow.

Even if the sky falls and the earth sinks, you must take down this damn Yingzhou city!

At this moment, a Jurchen knight suddenly galloped over, ran to dismount, and rolled and crawled over: "Yin Shuke, the army from the north, Xi Yin led the team, is approaching!"

Yin Shu was stunned. Why did Wanyan Xiyin come?

The unblocked city of Yingzhou does not mean that the Jurchen army and horses cannot pass through the path controlled by Yingzhou. However, if you really want to take the Yingzhou route, the Liao army will be prepared and you will not be able to sweep away the states in Yunnei. Moreover, if there are many troops and horses, Yunnei, and there are few reserves, everything must be transported from Datong Prefecture, Xijing. The Yingzhou defenders can go out at any time and plunder.

Although the Jurchen whistle detective was powerful, he could only guard against the defenders in the city that could not go out of the camp easily. The supply road was so long that there were no protections? If there were too many soldiers left, they could only waste their reserves in Yingzhou City. If there were too few soldiers left, the supply road would be cut off at any time, and the army would still starve in the Yunnei prefectures.

Now Yin Shu and Lou Shi led three or four thousand real female troops deep into the Yun Nei. They felt that supply was difficult and could not fight quickly, so they could only go back over mountains and rivers. Now Xi Yin is here again, and there are more troops and horses, and Yingzhou is not down, so they consume more. The reserves of Datong Prefecture in Xijing are not rich, and they have to be kept for the future army to march south. If Zong Han doesn't speak, who dares to move lightly? He and Lou Shi go south to clean up all the assets of his own leading troops. Wanyan Xi Yin is also a long-time general and will never do such useless things.

Moreover, Wanyan Xiyin didn’t dare to compete with him for me and Lou Shi!

Could it be that Zong Han is back?

A thought suddenly flashed through Yin Shuke's heart like lightning. Only Zong Han could exhaust the reserves of Datong Prefecture in Xijing and mobilize the entire army to go south!

Since that is the case, Yingzhou must be defeated no matter what, before Zonghan arrives!

The sound of the horns whimpered and came from north to south. Yin Shuke looked cold and hard like the cold wind outside, and threw the horse whip in his hand into the snow: "Whether you go to Yingzhou or die here, how can Xi Yin see my joke?"

The Jurchen generals looked at each other, and Xi Yin suddenly arrived. The army was likely to follow. The Yingzhou city blocked the army and strangled the path of the army, just like a thorn in the eyes. It seemed that they were really going to fight to the death under this strong city!

On the wall of Yingzhou City, Meng Nuan tied his armor and held his sword and was patrolling the city defense. On his left and right, he followed several generals from the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Meng Nuan's confidants all looked at these generals with complicated expressions.

The sound of horns in the north was faintly heard, and Meng Nuan pressed the battlements of the city wall and looked north as much as possible. Everyone around her was distorted, but Meng Nuan had no expression at all.
