Hariba is the well-known "Battle" among the Tatars. He is skilled in bowing horses and fighting, and is known for his unworthy courage.On the eve of this expedition, he was exhausted and suffered a lot of grievances because of an assassination incident stirred up by Jin Wang's envoys, so he held back his anger and wanted to show his skills in this battle.

Hariba led an army of 20 to advance all the way, and the siege of the city was so difficult that the numerous checkpoints in Dazhou were useless to him.The front battle reports were delivered to Jinyang one after another, all of which were worrying and worrying.

Ten thousand soldiers led by Tan Tianming were stationed at Yaqueling, sixty miles north of Jinyang.The Tan brothers have always been inseparable, now that the younger brother is newly deceased, the elder brother's fighting spirit is naturally depressed, and Yaque Ridge is an open wilderness, and there is no danger for a flat river, so before he can stand firmly, the people and horses are on the way. They were scattered by the Tatar cavalry.

Compared with Tan Tianming, Zhang Shijie is slightly better.He led people to ambush in Nitunchuan, forty miles away from Jinyang, and using a small group of troops as bait, he led the enemy soldiers into the gourd-shaped canyon to the southwest, trying to form a front and back attack, and wiped out Haribah in one go.Reluctantly, the enemy was outnumbered and the strength was very different. Before his pockets were completely closed, Hariba broke out of the encirclement unscathed.

After defeating two generals of the Jin army one after another, Haribah gained momentum and continued to attack Jinyang without stopping.Now there are only [-] main forces led by Shen Si personally left outside the city, and as for the so-called "surprising soldiers" assigned to Jin Gourd, there is no sign of it at all.

In the middle of the night, the drums beat the third watch, but King Jin was still sleepless.Neither sitting nor standing, he simply led people out of the palace, and strolled up to the top of Jinyang city.Fifteen miles to the north of the city, the Fen River meanders through. The contemplative team is stationed on the bank of the Fen River. Unfortunately, the view is blocked by mountains and forests, so we cannot see the situation there.

Listening to his subordinates reporting the situation ahead, King Jin remained silent.Although the expression on his face was calm, his heart sank inch by inch.At first, what he cared about was the success or failure of this battle. Jinyuan was the foundation of his foothold. If Jinyuan changed, he would lose his foundation.But gradually, he was more worried about Shen Si than the war itself. Even though Shen Si was an eagle fighting in the sky, the wind and rain were heavy outside, and he was afraid that the young eagle's wings would be accidentally blown off.

Shen Si issued a death order to Zhan Shitai, without his instruction, no one is allowed to go out of the city to help, including King Jin.King Jin himself had also made a promise that he would not intervene arbitrarily, and that he would not doubt it.But he just can't let go, it seems that he has to see Shen Si's current situation with his own eyes to feel at ease...

The Tatars are attacking Jinyang day and night, and the battle of life and death is imminent. Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Shen Si inspected the camp for the last time, sent people to exchange news with Jin Hulu, and arranged all the strategies, and then came to the bank of Fenshui exhausted.He let go of the rein and sent the horse to drink water, and he bent down to pick up a handful of river water mixed with finely crushed ice scum, and rubbed his dirty face a few times indiscriminately.

The water was bitingly cold, and when it touched the skin, it was so cold that one was shocked, and the refreshing air passed from head to toe.Shensi stretched his horse twice on the spot until his muscles and bones became stiff, and looked up. On the vast sky, the sky was full of stars, and the hazy brilliance sprinkled the river beach full of pebbles.

The new wind blows, the scorched reed leaves rustle, and the clear and shallow river emerges between the swaying reeds. The water is silent, as if it is still, and the white sand on the bottom of the water can barely be seen under the moonlight.Shen Si poked the toe of the shoe a little, and the water surface was immediately stirred up by ripples.His face was mottled with silver light reflected by the river water, and his eyes were shining like jewels.I don't know what he thought of at this moment, but the brows slowly became somewhat dignified.

Suddenly, someone put a thick cloak on Meditation's shoulders. He turned around and saw a dark figure standing behind him. Although he was dressed as a soldier, his stature was much taller than ordinary soldiers, and his smell was also good. There are a lot of them, the rich air should be the best spices from Persia, no need to look again, Shen Si frowned slightly and whispered: "My lord?"

"Shh..." King Jin put his index finger on his lips to stop him quietly, "Where did the prince come from, the prince is sitting in the city right now!"

Shen Si only felt that the anger was not in one place, and because of the inconvenience of patrolling soldiers passing by, he had to lower his voice and reprimanded: "My lord complains all day long about the arrogance of the director of Scarlet County. In my opinion, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. You I may not be very sensible! The swords and swords of the two armies have no eyes, and tomorrow's battle will be divided into half and half. You know that you are the backbone of this Jinyuan realm. If you make a mistake, the efforts of thousands of soldiers will not be in vain?"

The king of Jin knew he was wronged, and he didn't dare to refute, he just smiled kindly: "Nianqing doesn't need to be worried, with Ah Qu following, who can hurt me? Don't worry, I will return to the city before the Tatars kill tomorrow, and I will definitely not give you any money." Little General Shen added to the chaos."

"Why, the prince panicked after hearing all the bad news, did Tete come to supervise the battle?" Shen Si glanced dissatisfiedly at King Jin, and then looked diagonally behind King Jin. Tu Moer was facing him He stood there expressionless and slightly hunched over, half of his face was scarred, looking like a ghost in the night.

"No." King Jin replied simply, "I just want to see you."

Shen Si originally had a straight face, but he couldn't help but smile when he heard King Jin's words, but he didn't want to be noticed that he was smiling, so he deliberately kept the corners of his mouth closed, his expression became awkward and funny.He unconsciously raised his hand to wipe his dirty face, thinking to himself that the dusty appearance at this time must be very unsightly.This guard is really getting weirder, come and see me?What's so nice about me?

"You..." He tilted his head, not wanting that King Jin was standing very close to him, without any warning, his lips brushed each other's cheeks, and they met each other's eyes with a "whoosh". The white air exhaled from the opponent's nose sprayed on the skin and brushed the fine hair, making it itchy.

Although Shen Si was wearing hard and cold armor, the body inside the armor became hot and hot.Just like the warm spring wrapping the ice layer, the ice and snow melted, dripping and rippling.His pensive eyes gradually softened, and in the depths of his firm and powerful chest, there seemed to be a lively and active foal, kicking briskly with all four hooves, thump, thump, thump...

When the patrolling sentries left, King Jin whispered in Shen Si's ear, "It's been a day of wind in the field, isn't it cold? I brought shochu."

Shen Si smiled slyly: "Now I don't want to drink alcohol, I just want to take a hot bath. I have been running for a day today, and even my underwear has a lot of dust in it. It is dry and itchy, so uncomfortable .”

King Jin thought: "Nianqing, after this battle is over, I will accompany you to take a bath in the hot spring. I will not play tricks on you this time."

Shen Si generously waved his hand: "If I win, how about Shou Zhi rubbing my back personally?"

"Follow General Shen's order!" King Jin pretended to bow his hands and gave a salute, with a smile on his face.

Back in the tent, Shen Si hurriedly snatched the jug from King Jin's arms and drank a couple of mouthfuls, then wiped his mouth contentedly: "Guard, you are so courageous, the war is about to consume the general's mind with fine wine. Plus wait."

King Jin laughed loudly: "I have been 'boomed' once, why should I be afraid of being 'boomed' a second time?"

Shen Si saw that Jin Wang was still obsessed with driving him out of the tent in public, so he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Shouzhi, to tell you the truth, although I am the son of Shuai Shen, I am only a partial general in the Shen family army. This is the first time that he has been in charge of the commander-in-chief."

King Jin smiled softly: "How does it taste?"

Shen Si laughed at himself and flattened his mouth: "It's really fun!"

The two laughed for a while and drank a few more sips of wine. King Jin asked casually, "Nianqing, when was the first time you went into battle to kill an enemy?"

Shen Si rolled his eyelids and thought for a while: "Since I can remember, I have been taken to the school grounds by Shuai Shen. He trained soldiers, and my elder brother trained our brothers. As for the first time I killed an enemy with my own hands, it seemed that I was over ten years old. At that time, my brother-in-law I was ordered to transport food and grass for the army, and I followed secretly for fun, not wanting to encounter a group of remnants on the way. I saw that those guys were much taller than me, and I felt a little scared in my heart, but my life was at stake, and fear was useless. I moved my hands and realized that the pedestrian's strength may not be as strong as that of a child like me, and I have never been afraid since then."

King Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell into memories: "The first time I killed someone was when I was 13 years old. At that time, my father led the army to revolt. My mother, brother, and I fled into the mountains to avoid being chased by the court. There is a woodcutter I found our whereabouts and went to the yamen to report our whereabouts to receive a reward. I killed him with a hatchet. Because of panic and fear, I cut off half of his shoulder with a knife, and the blood spurted several feet high. At the moment of death, he still I was moaning and calling my mother..." King Jin opened his palm and looked at it for a moment, "Since then, these hands have been stained with blood, my own blood, the blood of the enemy, the blood of my brother... I am always there I think, if one day I can go back to the mountains and forests, it would be nice to be a carefree person. Just like the song in your hometown, Lanyue Mountain, Yupai River, five hundred battles, to the end of the sky, on the top of the red cliff, there are gods ...Hey, can you really see gods on the top of the red cliff?"

Shen Si smiled "puchi": "Where are gods in the world? It would not be an exaggeration to say that the scenery on the top of the red cliff is like a fairyland. It's just that outsiders don't know the path dug against the rock wall behind the waterfall, so they can't go up easily."

Things in the world always go against people's wishes in this way. He and the young Wei You stood on the top of the red cliff looking forward to the passionate writing of the country, while Jin Wang, who really looked down on the world, was envious of the fairy life on the top of the red cliff.After drinking all the wine in the pot, Shen Si said to the King of Jin with a heroic smile: "Forget it, the world is big, but where is there no fighting? Small people in the market can't escape the disputes in the streets, quarrels, and fights. The ministers, workers, and dignitaries can't hide in the temple. Conflicts, intrigues, ups and downs. Like you and me, you can’t escape the struggle of family and country, and the struggle of life and death will eventually lead to corpses and bloodshed..."

While chatting, Shen Si's face suddenly changed, and he raised his hand to signal King Jin to keep quiet.King Jin hurriedly held his breath and concentrated on the spot, and soon he noticed that the ground under his feet trembled slightly.The two quickly exchanged glances, Hariba is here!

At the same time, the spies outside the tent rushed to report: "General! Hariba led the army to attack without sleep and night, and has crossed the mountain pass ahead!"

Shen Si pushed King Jin: "My lord, please go back to the city immediately!" He drew his sword out of the tent, and flew on his horse, "Come on, the whole army goes out, follow me across the Fen River to meet the enemy!"

There is just a hint of whiteness in the sky, but it is not yet clear.Just as Shen Si led his men and horses to stand by the river bank, Hariba's team rushed out of the mountain pass like a gust of wind.Sitting on the horse, Shen Si smiled frivolously: "Prince Hariba, it's a long way to welcome you."

Hariba sat upright and watched intently, and he had a three-point chance of winning.The leader of the army is just a childish black boy, and there are no more than ten thousand troops. There is only one open river around, the river is shallow and slow, and there is no hiding place for the ambush.He felt complacent for a while, and laughed unconsciously: "I heard people say that the King of Jin was obsessed with sex, and chose a young man as handsome, and even beheaded a meritorious general to please him, hahaha, now I see you , It really is a little doll!"

Hariba is not arrogant at all, but Tan Tianming and Zhang Shijie are both well-known figures in Jinyuan, and he broke through the blocking of those two people without any effort, so naturally he doesn't care much about this brat in front of him superior.He had heard all kinds of rumors about the Jin army before, and he was still wary, lest it was a trick carefully set up by the King of Jin.But seeing Shen Si himself with his own eyes today, and seeing the strength of this army, he no longer has any scruples.

Hearing Hariba's shout, the soldiers behind him rushed towards the Jin army like a tiger.Shen Si hurriedly ordered people to beat the drums and charge, but unfortunately, morale was greatly lacking. Before the enemy approached, all the soldiers in Jinyuan showed fear and retreated with their horseshoes. The gravel generally recedes backwards, and it cannot be blocked.

The Tatars rushed to the Fenshui River, Hariba stopped the team with a big wave of his hand.He stood on the horse and laughed loudly. Before he could make a move this time, he was just frightened, and the Jin army was scared to death. It can be seen that these guys are really useless.But he also knew the reason why the poor should not chase after them, so he was still careful.

The Jin army scrambled and fled back to the south bank of Fenshui, only to be relieved to see that the enemy did not catch up.I saw Shensi pretending to be calm and shouting loudly: "Hariba, don't be arrogant, just now the general just wanted you to travel a long way, so I will let you have a round for the time being! Now I will teach you how powerful this general is! "

While yelling, he bent his bow and set an arrow, aimed at Hariba's face and raised his hand to shoot.Unexpectedly, when the arrow was blown by the river wind, it floated up like a drunk, and fell to the ground early before it touched Haribah, causing the Tatar army to burst into laughter.

Hariba completely let go of his vigilance and waved the battle flag: "Brothers, follow me to kill, let the Han bastards see what a real Tatar warrior is!"

"Aww!" The Tatar cavalry gathered into a black tide and swept towards the south bank of Fen River...

King Jin walked for a while, and there was a deafening shout of killing behind him.He gathered up the reins and looked back. He was surprised to see the Jin army fleeing in a panic like a bereaved dog, while the Tatars were chasing and fighting like a rainbow.His heart sank suddenly, no matter what, he couldn't let Shen Si face the danger alone!

Seeing the change in King Jin's expression, several guards rushed forward to persuade them: "My lord, the situation is urgent, please return to the city quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, King Jin turned his horse's head and ran back, while Tu Mo'er followed closely behind without making a sound.The rest of the guards had no choice but to follow quickly and circle around for safety.

King Jin spotted Shen Si, who was in the silver helmet of the Chinese army, and posted it without hesitation: "Nian Qing, for the present plan, follow me back to the city!"

Seeing King Jin go and return, Shen Si didn't care to be surprised, just flicked his arms indiscriminately: "The winner is in my hands, why should I go back?"

King Jin was anxious: "What are the chances of winning?"

Shen Si stared straight ahead with piercing eyes: "I said I would use the heavenly soldiers and generals to help you!"

The King of Jin only said that he was acting on his own will, and tried to persuade him again: "Don't be a hero, even if you can't get out of the city, you can still make a long-term plan."

"Shou Zhi, do you believe me?" Shen Si suddenly turned her head and smiled faintly at King Jin, her dark skin made the two rows of white teeth shine.Seeing that the Tatar cavalry rushing to the front had already disembarked, and the time had come, Shen Si yelled loudly, "Light it up! Fire the cannon!"

"Bang, bang, bang" three gunshots startled the Tatars, and Haribah thought it was reinforcements from the other side, so he hurriedly looked around, but there was not even a single bird in his field of vision.Hariba laughed again. Although the black boy was not good at fighting, he was very good at bluffing.

But before his laughter fell, there was rumbling thunder from the sky again. The Tatar soldiers followed the sound curiously, but saw a magical white mist rising from the source of Fen River when the sky and the earth joined. The fog seems to be moving, moving fast, the sound is getting louder, roaring and rolling... That's not thunder!It's a huge sound of water!

The torrent is like a thousand horses galloping together, overwhelming mountains and seas, shaking heaven and earth.Someone opened his mouth wide in fear: "Ah..." Before he could make a sound, he had disappeared without a trace.The Fen River, which was originally clear and calm, surged at a dizzying speed. The water is vast and boundless. The embankments and riverbeds have long since disappeared, and there are muddy water and sediment everywhere.

The swirling vortex tore people and horses into pieces and quickly swallowed them up. Countless corpses rose and fell on the ocean, and the corpses were pushed to both banks by the surging current, gradually piling up into a dam of flesh and blood.

Although the Tatars who rushed to the front were lucky enough to climb ashore, they were immediately shot and killed by the Jin army. They wanted to dodge, but their back road was blocked by their companions who fled ashore later. The blind and crazy crowd had already been in chaos. Running wildly, the horses were running wildly, the river that killed people was also running wildly, someone accidentally fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, countless horseshoes trampled them into bloody mud.

The Tatars who stayed on the opposite bank and hadn't entered the water hurriedly retreated, but the horses were frightened, and they couldn't stay in place, circling around, crowding and bumping, raising their hooves and neighing.The desolate sound of gong accompanied by howls of pain floated and circled on both sides of the Fenshui River.Soon, a group of Jin troops surrounded the Tatars from behind on time. It was Zhang Shijie and Tan Tianming who had been killed by them not long ago.When Zhang Shijie gave an order, ten thousand arrows were fired at once, instantly killing this group of remnant Tatar soldiers who were still in shock.

The strong wind whizzed past the top of the head, mixed with a pungent fishy smell, which could not be distinguished from the mud or the blood.In just an instant, the Tatar soldiers who were alive and well became ghosts shot by arrows and dead souls underwater. This massive death was so shocking that it was a bit creepy.

King Jin silently looked at Shen Si, while Shen Si quietly watched the nightmarish scene in front of him, with no joy or sadness on his face.

There is no real victory in war, it is always accompanied by the most vivid and cruel death.In the eyes of the young man Shen Si and the Jinyuan soldiers, there might be a bit of heroic feelings of fighting blood and defending the country in this death, but what King Jin saw was more desolation.Human life can be as insignificant as an ant, or it can be contemptuous of the common people. If you don't hold power, you can only become a stepping stone to be sacrificed and trampled on.Don't you see Qinghai head, no one has collected the bones since ancient times...

Floods and arrows have killed more than half of the Tartars, and the rest are almost defeated.Pensively waved the sword at his waist, and the edge of the sword shone with a cold light: "Men of the Han family, the Tatar thieves are cruel and innocent, invade my territory, eat my blood and sweat, humiliate my sisters, bully my father and brother, who would feel useless, Come kill me now!"

The mountains and tsunami on both sides of Fenshui: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
