Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Above the blue sky, the sun poured down its light and heat without hesitation, nourishing all things in the world. On the city wall of Shangjing City, Zhu Zhu held a long spear and leaned against the wall of the city tower, half-squinting his eyes.  Basking in the sun, he is a native of Shangjing and lived a good life. There are several shops facing the street in his home, which he has been renting out to vendors for business. The rent of these rooms alone allows him to live comfortably.  , let alone the idea of ??becoming a soldier before, he didn't even have the idea. Of course, now he is not voluntary, because he was captured. Every time he thinks of that experience of being captured, Zhu Zhu hates himself extremely, if  If you didn't go out that day, didn't have that drink, didn't have that fight, maybe nothing would have happened. After the drunken fight, he was arrested by the police patrolling the street without saying a word.  After being thrown into the prison, before he could think of any way to escape, he and the prison full of prisoners were escorted out and escorted by a group of soldiers into the military camp.

    ?The next step is very straightforward. They are given military uniforms and they become soldiers.

    It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t think about running away, Zhu Zhu was the first one to run away. He was caught and whipped dozens of times, and he became honest.

    The second man who escaped had his legs broken and was dragged by a horse back and forth in the military camp. By the time the tour of several military camps was completed, this man only had half his life left.

    The third one who escaped was a pair of brothers. After being captured, in front of thousands of people in the entire camp, the melon seeds fell off their heads with two clicks.

    After these few incidents, Zhu Zhu completely gave up the idea of ????escape. He was from Beijing, and he could not run far or escape. He could only eat food and serve as a soldier honestly. Fortunately, he got used to it in the end, and finally  After getting in touch with his family, his parents were frightened. The family spent a lot of money to get him out of the army. The money was used, but it had no effect at all. The final result was that Zhu Zhu became a little boy.  The officer has fifty soldiers under his command.

    As a native of Shangjing, Zhu Zhu had no idea about war. The only war scenes were vividly told by storytellers in old street teahouses. It¡¯s not a big deal when you think about it. The city of Shangjing is so high, and the outside is surrounded by Qin Dynasty.  The old general dug the city in a mess, and there was such a wide moat. The Northern Army didn't have wings, so how could they still fly over?

    The war seems to be far away from Zhu Zhu, but it also seems to be very close, but now he is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, it is like this. The worst thing is that after the fight, he will find an opportunity to escape. If he can't do it now, he will be easily killed.  Once the fight breaks out and the troops are in panic, it will be much easier to escape.

    With this idea in mind, Zhu Zhu has been eating and sleeping, and living a leisurely life. Another advantage of being a soldier is that he can eat well. Since Tongzhou fell some time ago, the food in Shangjing has been reduced.  Controls have begun to be implemented. There is a ration on how much food each family can buy in a day, and that ration is absolutely not enough to eat. Fortunately, my family is relatively well-off, and it turns out that I have some old savings, so my family is still hungry for the time being.  No, I just don¡¯t know how long this battle will last. If it takes a year and a half, the family will starve sooner or later.

    When Zhu Zhu couldn't sleep, he would think about it, how could he go to Beijing to fight? Why couldn't those old and powerful troops in Dai Viet defeat the rebels? In previous years, when I watched them conduct military exercises, they were so powerful!

    He turned over and stretched his legs to make himself more comfortable. The sun was making him warm. Zhu Zhu thought to himself that it would be good if he kept doing this. He slept, ate, and slept every day, starting from the new barracks.  In the past few months since I came out of the army, I have put on several kilograms of flesh. But the few months in the recruit camp were very difficult. My buttocks would be swollen by those vicious veterans.

    Even if Zhu Zhu didn't take it easy, he knew that the situation must be very bad, because the army had begun to arrest young men on a large scale. If he was recruited as a soldier because he committed a crime and was thrown into prison, he would be with those murderers.  , thieves and others were all sent to the army, but now, as long as they are of the right age, they will be sent to the army regardless of their circumstances.

    I had been training in the recruit camp for several months, but now these soldiers were simply captured, given clothes for a year and then stuffed into the army. Twenty of my fifty people were stuffed in like this.  Yes, the chief said, if anyone dares to run away, you should first ask yourself, grandma, this is really not a job for human beings. In order to prevent these people from escaping, I have broken several whips.

    The wall seemed to be shaking. Zhu Zhu raised his head and took a look at the wall. It was fine. He looked at it in surprise and found nothing unusual, so he leaned his head up again. As he leaned up, the feeling came again.  , and it was much stronger than before.

    It was not an illusion. Zhu Zhu slowly sat up. There seemed to be a faint sound of thunder rumbling from the sky, but it was still cloudless and the sun was still hanging in the sky. He stood up, and the shaking feeling became more and more intense.  The stronger it became, it seemed that the entire city wall was shaking. Like Zhu Zhu, more and more soldiers on the wall stood up and gathered in front of the battlements.

    "Go back to your position and prepare to fight!" A hoarse roar came from the top of the city tower. Zhu Zhu looked up and saw that it was Qin Gan, the commander of their battalion, a young man.?The fifty-year-old old guy, I heard that he used to be the head of the bodyguard of the old general Qin Sheng. This time the old general Qin came out again, he also rose through the ranks, from a captain to a general, and he was in charge of this area.  There are thousands of people on the city wall.

    Seeing those new recruits either looking at him blankly or stretching their necks to look into the distance, Qin and Deng couldn't help but feel short of breath. What he was fighting was the cavalry. A large number of cavalry were approaching quickly from a distance.  With this scale, there are only tens of thousands of cavalry. Who else can gather tens of thousands of cavalry in the land of Da Viet? Besides the one from the north, who else can

    He rang the alarm bell suddenly. The melodious bell resounded throughout the city wall. With the sound of wind, the bell spread from the city wall all the way into the city and into the distance.

    Amid Qin Gan's shouts, the soldiers on the city finally realized that the enemy was coming and a battle was about to begin. They panicked and their hands and feet trembled. After all, Zhu Zhu had stayed in the new barracks for a while and was fooled again.  The young officer, at this time, his mind should be clearer. He picked up the spear in his hand and whipped the headless recruits around him mindlessly. "Why are you panic? Push out the bed crossbows, push out all the bed crossbows, and prepare."  Break the rocks, roll the logs, take out the arrows, and prepare for battle!"

    There was a lot of busyness on the top of the city. After a while, some order was restored. Zhu Zhu raised his head as he looked at the crossbows on the bed. There was a cold light above, and the crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm were pointed at the distance. He felt a little calmer.  After feeling a little calmer, I looked up into the city. The streets were full of running people. From time to time, someone fell down on the street and was trampled half to death by the panicked crowd before they had time to get up.

    "God bless me, and please protect me from anything happening to my family!" Zhu Zhu prayed secretly in his heart. He pressed his hands on the wall, opened his eyes angrily, and looked into the distance.

    On the horizon, a flag fluttering in the wind suddenly appeared. Under the sun, the golden light shone. The flag was moving rapidly, running towards the upper capital. Behind the flag, a black line emerged.  .

    Zhu Zhu saw it clearly. It was a cavalryman riding a tall horse. He was holding a big flag in one hand and was galloping. A huge wolf head on the flag made Zhu Zhu's heart tremble.

    "Mengqi, Mengqi!" Zhu Zhu cried out. For hundreds of years, Mengqi has never been to Shangjing City, but the reputation of Mongolian cavalry is famous in Dayue and Shangjing City.

    The wolf-headed banner gallops at the forefront, but right behind this banner is Jamuka¡¯s elite cavalry. Behind Jamuka is Yun Zhao¡¯s personal guard camp.

    Marihan and Tuoli led nearly 30,000 cavalry to pursue Su Can, and cooperated with Meng Yao and Ding Chou of Lucheng camp to eliminate the last effective force of the Southern Dynasty, while Yun Zhao led Jamuka and Hu Zehua's Panshi camp, Huo Zhenting  The sixth battalion and Zhou Guangyi's seventh battalion were approaching the capital. Wang Qiang was sent back to Xingling. Yao Changkuntong led the fourth battalion to ensure logistics for the army.

    There is a moat dozens of meters wide outside the city of Shangjing. Within 500 meters of the moat, Qin Sheng dug a mess, with ditches crisscrossing the city. From the beginning, Qin Sheng had no intention of leaving the city to fight with the opponent.  Even if it is a night attack or a sneak attack, he has never thought about it. The number of soldiers he has now is quite large, but there are not many that can really take action. Going out of the city to fight is to risk death. Therefore, Qin Sheng has no idea at all.  Leave a passage out of the city. In this way, the opponent will have nothing to use when attacking. Those roads that look like passages will be found to be dead ends if you walk forward for a while, and they are completely covered by the intensive strike range of the crossbows on the city.  However, Qin Sheng still has great experience in defending the city. This is the only thing he can rely on.

    The Mongolian cavalry shouted and marched from far to near. The cavalry at the front holding the big flag was still far ahead. When they could no longer move forward, he reined in the horse. The horse stood up amidst the long neighing of the horse.  , spinning half a circle on the spot, the knight on the horse bent down, exerted his strength with his arms, and grabbed the wolf-headed flag and stuck it deeply into the ground. The flag fluttered, shining brightly in the sun. The green wolf head  He bared his teeth and looked extremely fierce.

    After planting the big flag, the knight rode away. The Meng cavalry behind him shouted and rushed closer. Teams of cavalry were passing by, crisscrossing and galloping, making Zhu Zhu and others dizzy.

    "His grandmother, I saw our cavalry drills in Dai Viet a few years ago. The cavalry were running so neatly. They were wearing shiny armor and long spears. They were as majestic as they wanted. Why were these cavalry running in such a mess?  , I can't see any formation!" A soldier on Zhu Zhubian couldn't help but exclaimed. "Wow, boss, look, that man just played a trick and hid in it!"

    "Go away from your mother!" Zhu Zhu yelled angrily. The cavalry under the city looked really messy. He couldn't understand what the mystery was. But he knew that even these seemingly messy cavalry defeated Dai Viet's army.  They are the majestic Dai Viet Cavalry that the soldier just mentioned.

    "The Mongolian army's iron cavalry is unparalleled in the world, and it is indeed worthy of its name!" Someone behind Qin Gan suddenly sighed and said.

    Qin Gan turned around suddenly, but was surprised, "Old General, you are here in person!"

      "The alarm bell is ringing here, how could I not come and take a look?" Qin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Gangzi, have you seen any clues?"

    Qin Gan nodded, "It seems chaotic, but in fact the advance is orderly. The advance and retreat are like using arms and fingers to move back and forth. There is no chaos and collision at all. These cavalry are indeed much stronger than my Dai Viet cavalry."

    ¡°They are demonstrating!¡± Qin Sheng said coldly.

    "I'm afraid they are playing the piano to a cow!" Qin Gan laughed. "Old General, only the bastards like us can understand them. I'm afraid they are still wondering that their opponents are a bunch of rabble."

    Hearing what Qin Gan said was interesting, Qin Sheng couldn't help but laugh, "But we have to rely on these miscellaneous fish to defend the city!"

    "No matter how powerful the cavalry is, it cannot be used to attack the city." Qin Gan said: "I haven't seen their infantry yet!"

    "The Lucheng Battalion is going to block Su Can. The Panshi Battalion, the Sixth Battalion, the Seventh Battalion, Hu Zehua, Zhou Guangyi, and Huo Zhenting are all famous names!"

    "The old general is much more powerful than them. When you were the general, they were still new recruits!" Qin Gan said.

    "A good man is not as brave as he used to be." Qin Sheng shook his head, "I haven't been on the battlefield for decades, and how to fight this battle now is completely unfamiliar to me. These people have been polishing their skills on the battlefield for more than ten years. If you look down on it,  They will be in trouble if they don't do it, not to mention, the soldiers we have now can be put to great use. If the Tiger Guard and Xiao Guard gather together, I will have the confidence to compete with them."

    While the two were talking, the melodious sound of horns sounded from the city. Following the sound of horns, small groups of Mongolian cavalry running back and forth began to gather together and quickly formed cavalry square formations of about a thousand people.  , then the rear team changed to the front team, the front team changed to the rear team, and they retreated neatly. The transition between stillness and movement was so rapid. Just a moment ago, thousands of horses were galloping, and the sound of shouts and shouts resounded through the Mongolian people below the city.  The horses were now riding in neat order, and there was no sound. Although hundreds of miles away, you could still clearly hear the sound of the hooves of thousands of horses treading the ground neatly.

    "If Zhu Zhu and others could not understand it before, now everyone can understand it. Zhu Zhu's face changed color, while the other soldiers around him had already lost their expressions.

    After each cavalry phalanx retreated for about a few hundred meters, they turned around again and faced the city wall.

    One, two, three, four, five Zhu Zhu counted them with his fingers. There were fourteen such square formations. If one square formation had a thousand riders, then fourteen square formations would be fourteen thousand.  Thousands of cavalry.

    The fourteen square formations were divided into two pieces, seven on each side. Between the two large groups, there was an open space of about a hundred meters. From a distance, a group of black cavalry surged forward. The front of the black cavalry was  , a large flag with the word cloud on a red background fluttering in the wind. Next to the big flag with the word cloud is a fluttering flag of a black eagle on a red background. This flag once accompanied the Yingzui Rock Horse Bandits on their rampage in the desert.  decades.

    This is Yun Zhao's personal guard camp. Compared with Meng Qi, their riding skills are not inferior in any way, but their equipment far exceeds that of Meng Qi. They are all black armor, black cloaks, and long bows on their backs.  A crossbow was stuck by the leg, a quiver hung beside the saddle, and a saber was stuck diagonally on the other side. Dozens of horses came in parallel, but there was no chaos at all. The horses' hooves were raised and stepped down almost at the same time.

    Passing through the gap left by Meng Qi, the Guards Battalion went straight to the wolf-headed flag that Meng Qi had planted earlier. A Guards Battalion stepped forward and first planted a cloud-shaped flag, and then a black eagle on a red background.  Flags. Three big flags were blown by the wind.

    The cavalry of the Guards Battalion flowed to the ground and spread out to both sides, revealing the protagonist they were guarding in the middle. Yun Zhao rode a thunderbolt and stepped out slowly. Beside him, the Red Lady, who had not set foot on the battlefield for several years, stood by his side.  The black armor tailor-made for her perfectly outlines the figure of the red lady who is still like a girl. After all, she has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Although she is the mother of a child, the figure of the red lady is still not out of shape. This time,  She followed Yun Zhao very hard, and even said that if Yun Zhao didn't bring her, she would ride off alone one night and have to rush to Beijing alone. Yun Zhao was deeply in love.  With a ladylike character, this is a woman who will do what she says. He has no choice but to take her with him on the expedition. In fact, it doesn't matter if he comes, at least Wu Fan can breathe a sigh of relief and have a good rest during the march.  Anyone who wants to assassinate Yun Zhao or do harm to him must carefully consider how to deal with these two world-class masters.

    The majestic Shangjing City was right in front of him. Yun Zhao stared at this most majestic city in the world. It was worthy of being the capital city of Dai Viet. Compared with the so-called majestic cities that Yun Zhao had seen before, this city really deserved it.  It is known as the most majestic city in the world. The tens of meters high city wall is not a neat rectangle, but has a section protruding far away every other section. The irregular shape makes the entire city wall have no blind spots for attack. When the enemy is in  When attacking a city, you will be attacked from three directions at the same time. Those towering towers and protruding battlements must contain deadly weapons.

      But Yun Zhao doesn't care about this. No matter how strong the city wall is, it will be broken. There is no city in the world that cannot be broken. Now, he has the confidence to win this most powerful city in the world.

    This is Yun Zhao¡¯s first time in Shangjing.

    Looking at Shangjing City, he slowly raised Yi Shuihan in his hand, pointed the black-edged halberd at the tower of Shangjing City, and uttered a few words.

    ¡°Go to Beijing, I¡¯m coming!¡±

    Shangjing, here I come! It has been almost ten years since the day when Yun Zhao broke with Qin Rouniang and made a grand ambition to uproot the Li dynasty. He finally got his wish and stood at the foot of Shangjing City.

    ¡°Go to Beijing, I¡¯m coming!¡± he roared and repeated loudly.

    "Go to Beijing, I'm coming!" Dozens of personal guards around Yun Zhao shouted in unison.

    "Go to Beijing, I'm coming!" Three thousand soldiers from the Guards Battalion shouted in unison.

    "Go to Beijing, I'm coming!" Under the city, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and soldiers from the Guards Battalion shouted loudly. The shouts shook the heaven and the earth. This was Yun Zhao's oath.

    On the city, Qin Sheng and Qin Gan both changed their faces in shock.
