I am fish

After holding back outside the city for a long time, he was finally able to enter Mengliang, and the Jin army rushed into the city to plunder frantically, killing everyone regardless of men, women, or children.

He Yannian beheaded five or six people on the city wall, and knocked down several ladders to attack the city.Hu Erchi climbed up the wall, pushed aside the little soldiers who were in the way, and aimed at He Yannian who was fighting bloody battle, and flew out two axes.With great difficulty, He Yannian kicked down the soldier who was entangled with him, and a cold light slashed at him from the back of his neck. He hurriedly turned around and blocked an ax hit by Huer, but missed an axe.The ax thrown out by Hu Erjian's left and right hands attacked him up and down respectively. He Yannian blocked the ax that cut his neck.

He Yannian was in extreme pain, instead of retreating, he yelled and killed Hu'er.

Hu Erji could only say a few words that people from the Central Plains would say. He shouted "Okay", unloaded the giant battle ax from his back, and slashed at the head of He Yannian who was sent forward.

Hu'er's striking power is infinite, and the giant ax weighs as much as a thousand catties. With a pair of arms, the giant ax can be swung extremely lightly.Hu Erji was very confident, he hit the same place every time, and the more he cut, the more excited he became.As the giant ax fell down again and again, he shouted louder and louder, fighting more and more courageously.And He Yannian was already in his fifties, and every time he blocked with a knife, his arms were so shaken that his arms were about to break. He backed up again and again, and was forced to the edge of the city wall.Hu Erjian took a big step forward, wanting to kill him with an axe. After all, He Yannian was a veteran. At the critical moment, he dodged to the side and took advantage of the situation to cut Hu Erjian's waist.

As if he didn't feel the pain at all, Hu Erjian swung his tomahawk wildly in the air, and smashed it onto the stone brick beside him, which was instantly smashed to pieces.

He Yannian was startled, the tomahawk might weigh a hundred catties, Hu Erji is worthy of being a famous general who rushed to the Jin Dynasty, his arm strength was unprecedented, it was frightening.

Hu Erjian muttered to himself, speaking in Chongjin dialect: "The longer you struggle, the more painful your death will be."

It's a pity that He Yannian didn't understand.

People and soldiers all over the city scrambled to escape from the other three gates.The soldiers ran faster than the civilians, and Zhen Wenjun and Axi were extremely uncomfortable being caught in the crowd of panicked people.Ah Xi was pushed and shoved several times to the point of falling, but Zhen Wenjun dragged her up.You must not fall to the ground at this time, otherwise tens of thousands of people will step over her, and she will be trampled into a pulp in the blink of an eye.

The horseshoes and shouts of the Jin soldiers followed closely behind. Seeing them running in panic, the Chong Jin people looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

The scene of escaping made Zhen Wenjun terrified, and every time he turned his head, he could see the devil-like rushing man chasing after him on the tall horse head.

The strong Chongjin men in the heavy snow were only wearing a piece of animal skin, with half of their arms exposed. There was a row of strange things hanging around their necks, which turned out to be human ears upon closer inspection.Nearly ten people's ears were strung together and hung on the chest, like a yaksha rushed from hell.

When all the soldiers rushing to Jin faced the blood, the corpses, and the extremely panicked and unarmed people of Dayu, they showed the excitement of chasing prey and the numbness of slaughtering dogs.

Zhen Wenjun had heard a lot about the horror of Chongjin people before, saying that they were like wild beasts without the slightest bit of humanity.It's just what I heard, this sentence is just a common and common saying, only when you are there, and you have to struggle under their butcher's knife to understand what is the real "beast" and what kind of The state of mind is despair and fear.

The Jin army crushed the wealthy Mengliang to pieces, and Li Ju fled without a trace. More than [-] of the [-] army were killed on the spot, and blood flowed all over the ranks.Half of the people in Mengliang City fled, and the remaining [-] people were killed. The surviving [-] people Huerji were all rewarded to the soldiers, and the soldiers were asked to select slaves in order according to the number of military merits.

Chongjin people had fun on the city wall all night long, the head of the prefect Liu Guan was used as a wine vessel, and the head of Pingchuan General He Yannian was peeled to make winter clothes.

Men were tortured and killed, women were raped, and children were reduced to pleasures. Mengliang, the important town in the north of Dayu, had no resistance against the Jin cavalry, and was defeated in a shameful day, becoming the most tragic battle in the history of Dayu. one.

The remaining 2 soldiers and [-] civilians rushed out of the city, and Zhen Wenjun and Axi were among them.

I don't know if there are pursuers behind them. The crowd who only want to flee for their lives are divided into several roads by countless forks, like a flock of sheep who are chased by hungry wolves in the barren mountains and fields and lost their way.The minds of this group of rout soldiers and the common people were blank. If they hadn’t been supported by the will to live and let their legs run wildly, they would have been drawn into the iron hooves of the rushing soldiers and trampled into flesh and bones. .

This group of blind sheep ran like crazy, pushing each other and fighting for the way, and the crowd was full of urine.

It wasn't until the person running in the front suddenly lost his direction and fell out suddenly, and fell to the ground with a somersault, did the fleeing crowd slow down.

Someone yelled, "Beard! Beard is chasing and killing!"

However, once the crowd who had run to the point where they had no strength left and their chests were burning with pain stopped, they all collapsed on the ground and almost fainted, unable to stand up again.The fear of the Hu people in their hearts made them cry miserably, and the sound of crying echoed in this mountain depression.

Zhen Wenjun has been pulling Axi to follow silently at the end, observing while running.Every time they encountered a fork, they would go to the side with the most people running, the side with the most robust, and the side with the least number of carriages transporting grain and supplies.So far, there are only more than 500 people left in their small team.

Running all the way, the crowd just kept their heads down and ran forward, but Zhen Wenjun paid close attention to the surrounding situation.The soldiers who rushed to Jin would not come here to chase their useless remnant soldiers. Most of them went for the baggage, women and children.Therefore, Zhen Wenjun avoided the heavy carriage from the beginning, and the pursuers who rushed to Jin should not catch up. Even if they catch up, the five hundred strong men might be able to fight to the death.

She stepped forward to take a look at the fallen man, checked his breath and pulse, and it turned out that he was dead.

"Stop howling! He ran away to die if there were no pursuers! If you howl again, you will really attract the beard!" Zhen Wenjun was originally a martial arts practitioner. He was young and strong, and it was no problem to run ten miles.Although she was also panicked, she has cultivated a mentality that ordinary people cannot match by being around Wei Tingxu these years, and she has preserved a lot of physical strength along the way, and she can still move freely.Although his limbs were weak from thirst and hunger, Zhen Wenjun's voice was much louder than this group of paralyzed soldiers.Shouting out this voice really calmed down the ghostly cries in the valley a lot.

Zhen Wenjun stood on a rock so that everyone could see her: "There are chasing soldiers, but they all went south to catch the grain carts. We haven't had any chasing soldiers here, so everyone can rest here with peace of mind."

A middle-aged man was panting heavily, his ears were red in the winter, he took a step forward and said: "I don't dare to grow any longer! The beards are not chasing us now, but when they finish killing those who are left behind, they will come after us." If you want to die, stay here! Don't deceive the public!"

Several people around immediately echoed: "That's right! I heard that beards are monsters that eat human flesh and drink human blood! The hair is red! As long as we are caught by them, our souls will be sucked away. There is no way to fight with them." fight!"

"No wonder they broke into the city so easily!"

"Oh my god, we ordinary people are no match for monsters! Run away! Otherwise, we will be eaten by them!"

"Bah!" A young man who hadn't thrown away his spear stood up holding his weapon, and retorted, "There are no monsters! I killed Beard! They are just like us, with one nose and two eyes! If you say They are vicious, and I am a hundred times more vicious than them! They killed our parents and humiliated our wives and children! When the army is recovered, we will kill thousands of beards to avenge my parents, wives and children!"

Everyone looked at this young man who was so skinny and had a few ribs, he fled here and still uttered wild words, all of them scorned:

"Didn't you escape too? Why don't you stay in Mengliang City and fight the beards to the death when you are so powerful?"

Mr. Xiao Lang blushed, and he straightened his chest and said: "The bend of an inchworm is for faith, and the sting of a dragon and snake is for protection! A man can bend and stretch, I only have one life to kill, right?"

The middle-aged man who spoke before still disdained: "If you want to hit you, go for it! Don't drag us down to die together!"

"But... deserters will be executed!" Someone murmured softly.

"Hmph, even the emperor didn't know where he fled, so why just execute us?"

Zhen Wenjun pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "If you continue to run forward, you will only die like him. Do you know where you ran to? Do you know where you are now? Do you know if you can continue to run forward? Is it a precipice or a dead end? Beard is just taller and stronger than us, but they are not three-headed and six-armed, and they will die. If you run away, it is like sticking your butt up and waiting for Beard to kill, but If you hold the weapons in your hands and fight to the death, even if the fish dies, the beards will be caught!"

"But our army of tens of thousands of people has already been defeated like this. If we fight again? Isn't it to die?"

Zhen Wenjun said again: "Do you think you can survive if you keep running? How much strength do you have? How far can you run? I'm afraid you won't even be able to climb this mountain. Either starve to death or freeze to death on the road. Let me tell you, this I ran desperately all the way, I’m afraid I can’t even stand up right now? When I ran for my life, the cold and humidity in the mountains could still withstand it, but now I feel cold when I stop? If I light a fire to keep warm, I can’t get out. In an hour, the beards can hunt for smoke and kill them. If they don’t light a fire, they will freeze to death. The animals in the mountains must have hidden for the winter in winter, and all the food and grass have been cut off. In the winter, Mengliang’s field can’t even eat. There are no wild vegetables. You people are not familiar with the terrain, and you can only rely on bark and grass roots if you want to eat. If you accidentally eat poisonous weeds, you will save the beards."

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Wenjun pointed to the top of the mountain after seeing fear on everyone's faces: "This mountain is Sansanfeng, the boundary mountain between Mengliang and Guanyang. As long as you can climb up overnight, even Hu The thieves are not afraid of finding them. No matter how powerful the horses of the thieves are, they will not be able to climb the mountains full of frozen soil. If they want to go up the mountains, they must walk on foot. We occupy the danger of the high mountains, and we can kill them all as long as we set simple traps. "

The middle-aged man said: "Little lady, you speak loudly. You can't even be considered a private soldier. What ability do you have to speak up here?"

Zhen Wenjun was not annoyed either: "Just think that I, Zhen Wenjun, is exaggerating." She turned her head to look at the sky that was about to fall into the night again, and walked towards Shen Sanfeng, "Anyway, I will put my words here, and those who want to live can follow me. If you don’t believe me, don’t come here. Ah Xi, is there food to dig on the top of Sansan Peak?”

Axi followed Zhen Wenjun and said, "Yes! You can't see it on the surface, so you need to find a shovel to dig into the frozen soil."

"Can you find it?"

"Yes. Most people can't find it, but I lived with my father on the Sansan Peak for half a year, so I know where to find it. Mountain treasures are precious, and the ones the size of your finger can sell for two taels of silver..."

They talked and walked as if there was no one on both sides, and the little man who had killed the Hu thief before followed up: "You two ladies wait for me! I want to go with you!"

The three of them walked farther and farther, and the sky was completely dark at this time.After running wildly, all the hot sweat dissipated, and the 500 people who stayed where they were getting colder and colder looked at each other.

"Where are we going next?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

"Go ahead?"

"Where is the place ahead? It's snowing like a dog day, and I can't tell the difference between the south, the south, and the north..."

"What did the little lady say about her name just now? Zhen Wenjun? Could it be that she is the counselor beside the eldest princess?"

"Who? The counselor next to the eldest princess?"

"Yes, my father works in the eldest princess's mansion, and I have heard of this person. It is said that she is a celebrity around the eldest princess, and she often gives advice."

"Her? A little lady?"

"Hey, you can't talk nonsense, isn't the eldest princess also a little lady..."

After some back-and-forth conversations, everyone fell silent. A few people took the lead and followed the direction Zhen Wenjun left, while the rest of them hesitated, and finally followed.

"Hey! You old men actually want to follow the woman's ass! Don't be ashamed of yourself!" The middle-aged man shouted.

After shouting, suddenly there was a wolf howling.

"It is said that there are indeed snow wolves on the outskirts of Mengliang, who specialize in catching small animals that are left alone." Someone said while trembling in the dark, "These snow wolves come and go in packs, and they are very ferocious because they are hungry. Let go...I, I don't want to be caught by them. Wait for me!"

After another group of people left, the remaining people couldn't stay any longer and immediately decided to go up the mountain with the flow.

"You...you worthless people!" The middle-aged man stomped heavily and followed.

Zhen Wenjun managed to scrape some resin to start the fire, and lit a fire stick to illuminate the mountain road.The trees in the north are dry and have no resin. Torn off the corners of clothes and wrapped them as oilcloths on the branches can prolong the burning time of the flames, but if you walk blindly, you may not be able to persist to the top of the mountain.

Fortunately, Ah Xi seemed to have found the mountain road with the help of the light. Zhen Wenjun and Xiao Langjun followed her and quickly got rid of the difficult frozen soil and stepped on the stone steps.

The stone steps are covered with a layer of ice, which is very difficult to walk, but at least it is a road.By the light of the torch, Zhen Wenjun saw this little man more and more familiar.

"Miss Wenjun." Nalangjun saw Zhen Wenjun's doubts and spoke first.

"Huh? Sure enough, we met." Zhen Wenjun remembered, "You are the messenger of the Wei family."

This person is one of the messengers of the Wei family, and he is very good at riding.The last time we met, he was not so thin. If it weren't for the faint mole between his eyebrows, Zhen Wenjun would really not have recognized him.

Mr. Xiao Lang said that his surname is Zuo, his name is Kun Da, and his character is Ji Yong. He is a distant relative of Zuo Xu, the former minister.Speaking of Zuo Xu's death, Zuo Kunda was very angry, but he could do nothing as a soldier, and even wanted to go to the front to kill the enemy, but he ended up fleeing in a hurry.Speaking of this, Zuo Kunda thought of Meng Liang's possible tragic situation now, felt sad from his heart, and couldn't help crying.

"Don't cry, what's the use of crying." Zhen Wenjun said coldly, "Climb to the top quickly, the most important thing is to find some food to feed yourself."

"Now that Mengliang has been captured, the rush to Jin will soon hit Runing. When the time comes, the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. It is better to die here and die for the country!"

Zhen Wenjun thought of how free and easy Zuo Kunda Yuma's heroic appearance was at the time. If it were someone else, she would not want to waste any more words: "If the country really perishes, you will die as you please. No one is stopping you, but now it is just Meng Liang has been destroyed, not to the point where the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, okay? Besides, after losing Meng Liang, it’s just a matter of getting it back.”

Zuo Kunda looked at Zhen Wenjun in disbelief: "Take it back? Could it be that you have a way?"

Zhen Wenjun scouted the way with a torch, and answered casually as if joking: "Yes."

Zuo Kunda also knew about Zhen Wenjun, she worked for Li Yanyi, she was at the center of the central struggle, she was quite powerful.But how many are there now?There were at least [-] Jin troops who invaded Mengliang.Moreover, Mengliang City is deep and solid, and once it is occupied, it is quite difficult to take it back. How dare she speak wild words?

Zuo Kunda was really curious about what she could do, and asked all the way, completely forgetting about her fatigue.Zhen Wenjun told him the plan in his heart while climbing the mountain. Zuo Kunda asked curiously after listening:

"May I ask if Madam Zhen has ever led troops in battle before?"

Zhen Wenjun shook his head: "I'm just talking on paper, borrowing some of the wisdom of the predecessors and the experience of famous battles."

"It's wonderful...it's really wonderful!" Zuo Kunda became more and more excited as he thought about it.

Zhen Wenjun was not as optimistic as him: "It's just that we have no one. Even if we have a plan in mind, we can't do anything if there is no one."

"Yes!" Axi pointed to the hundreds of people who followed them up the mountain.

"It's just that they can't do anything." Zhen Wenjun was a little frustrated.

Watching the compatriots in Meng Liangzhong being killed, she had a way but was powerless in the end, so she could only watch the tragedy happen.

"How many people do you need?" Zuo Kunda, who just wanted to die for his country, immediately regained his energy, and kept asking Zhen Wenjun, "I can help you find them all! There are at least [-] to [-] people who escaped." Available people, these people probably found their way to Jie County in the southwest of Mengliang."

Right.Zhen Wenjun knew that she was a woman, and what she said was hard to be convincing. In Zuo Kunda's words, it might be more convincing to pretend to be a child of the Zuo family.But even if they could gather all those who escaped, it would still take a lot of effort to take Meng Liang back from the [-] troops rushing to Jin.She needs to forge many siege weapons, and it is hard to say whether any of these people can have this craft.

Mengliang is a very favorable stronghold. They can attack officials forward and retreat to the front customs. After a few victories, there is enough food and grass for rushing to Jin. Once they gain a firm foothold in Mengliang, it will only be more difficult to raise it.

Meng Liang must not just throw it away so easily.

Now rushing to Shanxi for a long distance, the battle lasted for three months without a break, it must be very tired after the long drive.It is true that the arrogance of rushing to Jin has been greatly increased by winning several consecutive games, and it also makes the already arrogant Chongjin people even more arrogant.

Taking advantage of their negligence to launch a counterattack is the best opportunity. Zhen Wenjun has a chance of winning in his heart, if he has soldiers available.

If anyone can listen to her.

The people who followed Zhen Wenjun up the mountain occupied the top of the mountain, and Zhen Wenjun divided them into two groups. One group followed Axi to find mountain treasures to satisfy their hunger and build a fire to keep warm, while the other group followed Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda to set up traps.

The trap had just been set up halfway, when suddenly someone's head was shaking in the dim light of the fire.The people who had just recovered their lives from Chong Jin were taken aback. The first thing they thought was that Hu Zi chased them to kill them.

"Calm down, don't panic." Zhen Wenjun said, "The thorns are all smeared with anesthesia, even a beard can't get over it."

Before leaving, Zhen Wenjun deliberately went to find Bu Jie, squeezed all the samosas on his body, and brought them to northern Xinjiang. She knew that this thing must be useful, and now is the opportunity for samosas to show their talents!

Hundreds of strong men with tall horses huddled together, trembling with fear from the black shadows.There were more and more of these shadows, at first there seemed to be hundreds of people, and finally thousands of shadows came up from all directions, even Zhen Wenjun was startled, could it be that Thief Hu found them so quickly?

Suddenly, someone in the shadow coughed and asked confidently in Central Plains dialect: "Who is it?!"

Hearing the familiar language, the people who had been frightened for a long time almost cried with joy, shouting: "It's us! We are all Da Yu people!"

Zuo Kunda immediately covered the mouth of the yelling person: "Aren't you afraid that the Jin people are tricking you!"

No one dared to say anything after what Zuo Kunda said, and those black shadows quickly surrounded him, and Zhen Wenjun's heart jumped.If there are so many people rushing to pursue the soldiers, and the traps have not been set up, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, and they will all have to be killed.

A man walked over from the shadows, tall and thin, with long hair coiled into a ball and firmly covering the top of his head.A sword hilt protruded obliquely from the shoulder, and the man said:

"fire."

The torch was passed from everyone behind and quickly passed into her hands.

It was a woman's voice, Zhen Wenjun had heard this voice before.

The torch flickered in front of Zhen Wenjun Zuo Kunda's face, the bright light was so exciting that they couldn't open their eyes.

"It really is you." The person opposite also recognized Zhen Wenjun.

After his eyes got used to the light, Zhen Wenjun opened his eyes again, and the long eyebrows and deep eyes of Axin Xie appeared in front of his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Ah Xin didn't like this minion of Wei Tingxu very much, so he swept the people in front of him with a torch rather coldly, and then understood, "You guys escaped from Mengliang City. ?"

Zhen Wenjun didn't speak, but Zuo Kunda spoke for her and asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Ah Xin sneered, her eyes firmly said, "I want to call back Meng Liang's Xie Xin!"
