Chapter 127 Blood Drops
[The cold is just over, and the late-night code word plus a chapter.]
.
After seven days.
Every minute and every second now is as difficult as ten years. Whether it is Taiyuan's military and civilians, or Jin Guo's tigers and wolves, they have all been completely overdrawn and close to the brink of collapse.
Although it is a cold winter, the whole sky of Taiyuan City is also filled with the smell of blood corpses. There are more than a dozen thousand-person pits and ten-thousand pits in the western countryside of the city, which is shocking. Because of the lack of clothing, food, fatigue and high mental tension at all times, almost everyone in the city is completely humanoid, half human and half ghost. Even Xiao Linglong, who is born beautiful, has a large circle of withered and thin skin.
No one knows when the war will end, and no one knows if they can see the sun tomorrow. The grain and grass have been completely exhausted, and the bark and grass roots in the city have become the rations for everyone. All the war horses have been slaughtered. Even the mounts of Wang and Chu Tianya are nothing more, and the cowhide on the armor can also be torn off to make soup and cook, which almost eats people openly.
The golden soldiers outside the city are not much better. Although they take the initiative, after all, they are fighting in different places. The war-weariness of the division veterans is getting higher and higher after fatigue. In addition, the transportation of grain and grass in the rear is very difficult, and now it is close to the edge of food shortage.
Wanyan Zonghan was also determined and hard-hearted. He gambled on his own heroic name and pro-Xun, and issued an order - two days after the army rectified, he launched the last blow to Taiyuan!
For a small city in Taiyuan, he has failed to win for months. Wanyan Zonghan is no longer as simple as his face. Finally, he persisted for so long under the pressure of the imperial court. If he can't take it down, he is simply cutting off his official career and military career!
Up to now, Wanyan Zonghan is really difficult to get down, so he has to risk it and go all the way to the dark!
At this time, no one will doubt that if Wanyan Zonghan finally defeated Taiyuan, Taiyuan City will definitely be slaughtered.
This also means that Taiyuan City has no other choice, either stick to it to the end or die!
There are 24 hours left in the final battle. Both sides have lost nearly half of them. Except for the last bloody battle, there are no secrets, no tricks to play, only the battle between life and death!
The city of Taiyuan is often quiet. When there was no war, nine out of ten of the sergeants defending the city were in a semi-coma sleep. Only those broken and bloody flags were still flying arrogantly and high, declaring Taiyuan's pers stubbornness and indomitable to the Juvado outside the city.
Chu Tianya, Xiao Linglong and others stepped on the frozen blood scum on the soles of their feet and came to the city in the north of Taiyuan.
Wang Yu was standing by the woman's wall with his waist crossed, and the bleaked cyan robe behind him and his long beard were hunting together.
"Teacher." Chu Tianya came forward and said hello.
Wang didn't reply, and said in a hoarse and vague voice, "Isn't it for you to go to the head of the city?"
"There is no war today. Students just came to have a look." Chu Tianya replied to this sentence, and Wang Yu didn't scold him too much.
Chu Tianya stood beside him and took a look under the city. The body was as high as a mountain!
Most of them are the corpses of the Jurchens, and some are Song soldiers who fell into the city. Standing at the head of the city, you can clearly see that many Song soldiers jumped off the wall with the Jurchens in their arms and did not separate until they died.
It is estimated that the next time the Jurchens come to attack the city, they can use these corpses as a ladder. Or if their siege equipment wants to come in, they have to spend a lot of effort to clear the corpses under these cities.
The two soldiers and horses have suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and more than 70% of them are piled up under the city of Taiyuan. It can be imagined that the scene is tragic.
"The real woman won't last long." Wang Yu suddenly said this sentence. Because his voice was extremely hoarse, Chu Tianya was so close to him that he almost didn't hear it clearly.
"In the eyes of students, it is the same." Chu Tianya said, "Recently, they are doing the last gamble. After all, Wanyan Zonghan has made too many bets here in Taiyuan. If he give up halfway, he can't afford to lose.
"It's all the same. No one can afford to lose." Wang Wei said, "Wanyan Zonghan has been on the battlefield for more than ten years. He has been undefeated in the battle, and his achievements have shocked the world. He is one of the best gods of war in the Jurchens. If he doesn't take Taiyuan, it can be said that his reputation will be ruined, and it will not be easy to tell the gold owner and the court after going back. And we in Taiyuan, who have persisted until now, are not just as simple as the gains and losses of one city and one pool... The unsatisfied and invincible myth can be disilated here in Taiyuan, it will greatly encourage the morale of our soldiers and civilians in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Taiyuan's strategic position is as important as the world. It's just a pity...hey!"
The last deep sigh can be said to be from the bottom of the king's heart!
It has been so many days since the golden soldiers besieged the city. On the other hand, the golden soldiers, led by Wanyan Zongwang, have fought back and forth in Tokyo in the Song Dynasty - up to now, in addition to issuing an imperial edict to cede the city to Taiyuan, the court of the Song Dynasty actually ignored it and did not send a soldier to help the war!
Wang's disappointment, which can also be said to be despair, was completely revealed from this deep sigh.
Chu Tianya is not disappointed, because he has no hope for the court of the Song Dynasty. Now he only feels sorry for the king's concubine. There is a saying in the Book of Rites that "there must be demons when the country dies". In fact, whenever the country is in danger, there are many loyal righteous people like Wang Zhi who have no complaints and no regrets to die for the country.
Unfortunately, the righteous are usually used for martyrdom and sacrifice, and their sacrifice is very helpless in addition to the grandeur!
It's just an assumption that under the current situation that Taiyuan and Jin Bing have been overdrawn, the court of the Song Dynasty can send a brigade of troops to help in the battle, and the balance of victory and defeat will be completely broken. It is not only the possibility of Taiyuan defending greatly increased, but it is also impossible to defeat Wanyan Zonghan in one fell swoop!
Unfortunate, I'm afraid this can only be a hypothesis. Chu Tianya remembers that in the battle of Taiyuan in history, the imperial court of the Song Dynasty sent several soldiers and horses led by famous generals to rescue him. Unfortunately, after these soldiers and horses left the division, they still could not get rid of the chronic diseases of the Song army. They died of the blind command of the imperial court and the generals. In the end, no soldier could come down to Taiyuan City to solve any problems.
Now it's better. Perhaps the death of Tong Guan and the stay of the Shengjie Army have changed some history. The court of the Song Dynasty simply ignored Taiyuan and regarded it as the real ceded it to the State of Jin and did not intervene in the "housework" of the State of Jin.
"If you hold on for a few more days, it is estimated that the golden man will retreat in no way." When Wang Yu said this, he didn't know whether he was comforting everyone or comforting himself. A rare smile appeared on his face, "At that time, we will be worthy of our ancestors even if our merits are perfect!"
Chu Tianya nodded silently and said to himself, "Even if the golden people are retired, how can they talk about meritorious deeds? - Maybe the Song Dynasty court, which has been sitting there watching tigers, just waiting for this day to settle accounts with us after autumn!
He has already thought clearly that with the traditional belly of the officials of the Song Dynasty and the usual style of the bureaucrats in the court, this is very likely to happen. In the view of the court, Wang Yu dared to take over the army brought by Tong Guan from the court without permission, and once resisted the order and refused to hand over Taiyuan to resist the war to the end. These two charges alone are enough to make him fall into the 18th floor of hell - those people in the court, regardless of your motivation and final result of doing these things. At this time, they have always enforced the law impartially and according to the rules, how can they condone any warlord who has self-respected themselves to become an armed secession. At the beginning, when Li Gang mentioned that Tokyo's soldiers and horses resist Wanyan Zongwang under the city, Zhao Huan, the newly ascended official, did not forget to be on his strict guard and finally dismantached his military power. How could he sit back and watch a general who was commanding outside the army trample on the fragile bottom line in his heart?
Therefore, Chu Tianya has always believed that doctors, poets and even businessmen and civilians born in this era are lucky and happy; the most unfortunate thing is these soldiers who are fighting with the enemy on the battlefield with their heads. Perhaps from the moment when Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao changed into a yellow robe, the shadow of Zhao and Song officials's guilty heart and the extremely small belly of the generals have long been doomed to the tragic fate of the martial arts of the Song Dynasty. Behind Yue Fei's sigh, isn't it the ugliness and sadness of this era of wealth and modern but humiliation?
Thinking of this, Chu Tianya was inexplicably depressed, so he couldn't help sighing.
Wang Yu seemed to hear something from his sigh and waved his hand impatiently, "Go back. It's none of your business here!"
Chu Tianya didn't say much. He retreated from the city with Xiao Linglong and others and returned to the military patrol camp together.
Halfway, Xiao Linglong suddenly said, "When the war is over, let's go to Taihang together!"
Chu Tianya was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at her, smiled and said, "You have lost a lot of weight recently."
Xiao Linglong frowned angrily, "Let me tell you what's going on. Do you hear me?"
"I'm also talking about business." Chu Tianya said seriously, "In my opinion, you live a good or bad life, which is much more important than my personal way out in the future."
"I really can't stand you, I know how to play poor!" Although that's what she said, Xiao Linglong still smiled. No woman doesn't like sweet words, which has nothing to do with the idiotic level of words and the woman's IQ.
"Let me tell you this!" Chu Tianya sighed and said, "If we can survive in the end, I can go anywhere except for continuing to stay as an official."
"It seems that you also know that even if Taiyuan wins in the end, there is no place for you to stand in the world of the Song Dynasty?" Xiao Linglong smiled and said, "I saw that you are very proud to be a conductor every day, and I thought you were really obsessed with being an official. Now it seems that you are not completely obsessed with officials?"
"It's impossible for officials to be obsessed, but they can't be sure." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Why don't you work harder? I'm about to be seduced by you."
"Bah! Who cares that you are dead or dead! Just stay here as your official and wait to be beheaded by your own people!"
At the same time, Lingqiu County, on the single-edged peak outside the Jinbing Battalion.
Meng De, who was already black and thin as firewood, shook the white robe and shook the snow on his head. He spat out a steam and grin. He turned around and said to Ma, "Brother Ma, hard work pays off. We have suffered a lot, and finally touched the vicinity of Lingqiu Daying in Yinshuke-- Look, how much food the beasts have taken from our state and county towns in the Song Dynasty. These are all to feed the hungry wolves under Wanyan Zonghan. When the group of hungry wolves are full, they will have the strength to attack Taiyuan.
"No words, a fire is all burned!" Ma, who was also as thin as a skeleton, his eyes were all red. He gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "There are only 180 people left for our five hundred brothers today, all holding their last breath, hoping to burn this batch of grain and fodder to export evil spirits!"
"Oi, we have to plan carefully. This blow is only allowed to succeed and cannot fail!" Meng De narrowed his eyes slightly at the foot of the mountain with a large pile of grain and grass, and his heart was dripping blood. It seems that it is not a pile of food, but the corpses of those dead relatives in Qingyunbao!
