    Looking down the mountain from Longshou Village, the Yingzhou City Fortress, which used to be strict and solid, has been burned to ashes.  The city wall with a rammed earth base and stone shielding base is still intact, but there are smoky black marks everywhere on the wall.  The towering watchtower that once closed the towering South Gate City has collapsed into unrecognizable ruins.  Yingzhou City Fortress was originally filled with various buildings, either for stationing troops or storing grain, grass and military supplies.  After a fire, everything was reduced to nothing.  There are broken bricks and tiles and scorched beams everywhere.  In the past few days, light snow has covered the charred ruins with a thin layer. The whole scene seems as if this fortress has been abandoned for several years.  A few days ago, there were more than a thousand troops stationed, flags and streamers flying, golden drums heard, and the scene of waiting for danger now seemed like a dream.  The small fort outside the city is relatively complete and has not been severely damaged.  Only the bloodstains on the fortress wall still recorded the desperate resistance of the remaining defenders.  Most of the Jurchen troops and horses are stationed in small forts to avoid the cold wind in the wild and to control the remaining defenders on Longshou Stronghold.  Inside the Yingzhou Fortress, there was no one. Only the city gate was open, and Jurchen knights occasionally came in and out.  Outside the city fortress, the activities of Jurchen troops and horses are obvious. Every day, a large number of Jurchen light cavalry are sent out, either to capture babies or to plunder food and grass.  Guo Rong and the others set the fire too hard in the end, and all the savings in Yingzhou City Fortress were burned to the ground.  The Jurchen army and horses also had to eat and drink, and the horses had to eat a lot of grass every day.  Yin Shuke Qingqi hid his whereabouts and attacked Yingzhou. He had no wealth in the first place.  Now my hands are empty and I can only search everywhere.  However, the Wubi Fort near Yingzhou had been almost completely wiped out by Yin Shu Ke, and all the people had been driven into battle, resulting in almost all losses.  Yingzhou was originally a remote place, with not many people having enough food and supplies.  No matter how hard you try, you won't get much.  What I see almost every day is Jurchen Qingqi setting off early in the morning.  At dusk, I turned around empty-handed and exhausted.  ¡°Without food for the people and horses, even a strong man cannot hold on.  The remaining troops and horses under Yin Shuke's command are now almost all huddled in four small forts and rarely move.  A fairly sparse blockade was maintained, and fewer night patrols were dispatched.  He looked helpless to move any further.  In Longshou Stronghold, people have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Jurchen army in front of them for the past few days.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~ Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps on the snow under the wall of the village. Several soldiers on the wall who were responsible for monitoring the movements of the Jurchen troops and horses turned around.  Then he saw several people in Guo Rongtang's arms, wrapped in cloaks.  Zheng strode up.  Thirteen is now completely the confidant of Guo Rong's bodyguard. He wears armor and holds a sword, and follows Guo Rong closely with a certain appearance.  It was a deadly battle in Yingzhou, and these escaping soldiers never fully recovered after several days.  However, Thirteen did not look tired at all, he still looked like an energetic young man.  Now he is truly a rising star in Shenwu's ever-victorious army.  As long as he can survive, he will definitely become famous among the entire army in the future! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But Thirteen didn¡¯t know how much others thought of him, and when someone spoke to praise him, he just laughed innocently, and rubbed his head for a long time, unable to say a few words.  Whatever he is asked to do is done.  This kind of pure and honest appearance is even more popular.  Guo Rong even treated him as her own brother.  Guo Rong walked up to the wall of the village and glanced at the scene below. The movements of the Jurchen army and horses were still as listless as the previous few days.  "How?" The general on the wall stood up straight.  Gong Jin replied: "Princess, it's still like that. The Jurchen Tatars actually have only two thousand soldiers and horses. If it weren't for the traitor Meng Nuan, they wouldn't be able to defeat Yingzhou even if they were dead. Although they succeeded by luck, their own strength was also seriously damaged.  With no food or grass, there is no way to do anything According to the general's opinion, it is a good time to break out of the encirclement. Isn't there a secret road leading directly to the bottom of the mountain? " Although there is no need to pretend to be Shu now.  In the name of princess, she is from top to bottom in the army.  If you have become familiar with it already, you will make mistakes easily.  Guo Rong looked at it carefully for a while.  He slowly shook his head: "Without foreign aid, we are determined not to break through. We are trapped here, and the biggest weakness is that we have no horses. Just relying on our own armor, soldiers and dry food, how far can we go in the ice and snow? The Jurchen Tatars will lack food and grass again.  , there is no trouble in chasing us, there are just dozens of disciples, I will take them back intact!" After a bloody battle in Yingzhou, Guo Rong now spoke clearly and had a firm look in his eyes.  Wan Ran is now a qualified general, no longer just a mascot when he first arrived in Yunnei.  And her leadership in fighting to the death and her care for the soldiers under her command have also won the respect of these dozens of people who have fought for the rest of their lives, and now they truly regard her as the commander-in-chief of an army.  The general agreedHe made a sound, rubbed his hands and said distressedly: "There is a lot of storage in the village, and there is no shortage of water. We can't die even if we sit here for half a year, but we are always angry here watching these Tatars show off their power!"  When can we take revenge When can the reinforcements from the south come up?" Before Guo Rong could answer, Thirteen suddenly pointed to the south: "There is movement over there! It seems that there are troops coming!"  Startled, he turned around and looked south.  I saw the snow line in the sky, and there seemed to be a faint swirl of snow dust. It was difficult to see clearly no matter how hard I tried my eyesight.  How did this kid Thirteen have such sharp eyesight and quick hands? How did he develop it?  ??Everyone pressed against the wall of the village, full of expectations in their hearts.  It has been a long time since the Jurchen army suddenly appeared in Yunnei.  The closest Hedong Shenwu Ever-victorious Army is Yue Wudi's headquarters stationed in the Yanmen Pass area.  Calculating the time, if Yue Wudi's troops set off immediately after hearing the news, they should have arrived in the Wuzhou area by now.  Maybe Wang Gui's department in Wuzhou can send some elites to come to support?  At least they have to send people to contact Yingzhou!  After a while, the billowing snow dust in the distance became more distinct.  The Jurchen troops and horses stationed outside Yingzhou City also discovered the movement in the south and followed the sound of trumpets to convey orders.  First, the light cavalry galloped out of the small fort and formed small teams to go out to scout.  The Jurchen soldiers and horses of the brigade went out to form a team, wearing armor and holding soldiers.  Under the banner of several giants, the heavily armored Jurchen guards also showed their silver skills.  Looking from a distance, one can clearly distinguish the heavy armor made of gold and silver.  With the flag waving, the bugle conveys orders.  The main force of the Jurchen army began to form formation.  Push forward slightly.  Several crossbows captured in the Yingzhou Fortress were also spread out on the fort wall, and the thick crossbow arrows were placed, and the arrows reflected the cold snow light.  The whole army looked like they were facing a powerful enemy.  Seeing the movement of the Jurchen army, the people on the wall were even more elated. A military general slapped his fist hard: "I said that the reinforcements from the south should come too! Is there any reason to leave Yingzhou alone? We should also come and inquire.  Is there any news?" Then the general's eyes turned red: "I have hurt hundreds of people, this blood feud, this shame and humiliation, will eventually be repaid! As long as I can leave this village, my life will be sacrificed to the Jurchens.  The Tatars are on the offensive! No matter what, I will kill this leader called Bird Silver!" More people in the village heard the noise outside, and the horns of the Jurchen army could be heard inside the village.  Almost all the defenders in the village climbed up to the wall and looked southward.  At this moment, they were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the south, but they were ashamed to see Paoze from the south.  The bodies of hundreds of athletes were dumped in Yingzhou.  The dangerous pass and fortress fell into the enemy's hands overnight.  Since the formation of Shenwu's ever-victorious army, has there ever been such a thing?  Only blood for blood, life for life!  In the eyes of the two armies in Longshou Village in Yingzhou City, the movement in the south is getting louder and louder.  In the snow and dust, a large group of knights who looked like black dots could be vaguely seen coming slowly.  Yin Shuke¡¯s Qingqi approached cautiously. After circling for a moment, he dashed straight into the mass of people and horses.  Then he galloped back.  Even in Longshou Village, it seems that you can hear the cheers and screams of these Jurchen Qingqi Sentinels!  After a while, the troops and horses coming from the south became more and more visible.  One after another, the Liaodong army horses are tall and strong, with messy manes.  Carrying a stocky Jurchen soldier wearing a fur hat and a big face.  Flags flying one after another are all Jurchen flags.  Dozens of heavily armored Jurchen guards held a larger flag.  There are several Jurchen generals in the imperial guard under Chu's banner.  This military horse is afraid that there are more than a thousand people on and off, and the mounts are twice as many.  Scattered among the snowy fields.  Roll up a lot of momentum.  The Jurchen army and horses arrayed outside the Yingzhou City Wall immediately started to move, speeding up to meet them.  Not long after, the two armies were mixed together.  The Jurchen soldiers dismounted one after another and hugged each other and cheered. Flags were flying, and the shouts of men and horses neighed, which aroused Lao Gao, who looked very happy.  Those coming from the south are Jurchen troops and horses!  No matter whether it is the army of Wang Gui of Wuzhou or the army of Hedong Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, there is still no trace!  Everyone in Longshou Village¡¯s heart sank.  There was silence, except for the cheering sound of the large Jurchen army and horses.  Everyone's heart seems to have hit rock bottom.  The Jurchen army coming south must be the army that swept Shuozhou a few days ago, and now it is moving south.  Could it be that Wuzhou Wang Guijun has been defeated?  Or maybe even the reinforcements from Hedong were isolated?  If there are no reinforcements, even if Longshou Village is a dangerous place, how long can it last?  Guo Rong looked at her coldly for a while, snorted coldly, and said loudly: "The Jurchen Tatars gathered together, it will be easier to kill them when the time comes! There were two to three thousand Jurchen Tatars, as well as internal agents, and it took a lot of effort to capture them.  Yingzhou's casualties are no less than ours. How many troops and horses are there in Wuzhou and Hedong? These Jurchen Tatars are not that capable! Recharge your batteries and wait for the arrival of reinforcements to avenge these Jurchen Tatars!  I'm so scared. The guy named Xiao is praising me all day long about how strong you are. I feel for youPeople!  " The officers and soldiers on the wall made Guo Rong blush when they said these words. They are all warriors who have spent the rest of their lives in battles. They have experienced far more difficult and dangerous scenes than Guo Rong. But as long as an army is always used to the first army  Fighting under the system, responding to each other, fighting as a group. The lone army is hanging behind the enemy's rear, with no news of the larger army, and has just experienced a defeat. It is inevitable to be a little panicked, and even more worried that the Jurchen Tatars will fight to seize this passage. Now that the main force has gathered, the war will not end.  Knowing what direction it will develop in. Thinking too much is not as simple-minded and determined as Guo Rong. As soon as Guo Rong lifted her cloak behind her, she turned around and left: "I want to see when this person named Xiao will become a person."  Come!  " After saying that, he turned around and strode away. Thirteen, as a personal guard, followed closely behind the eldest daughter of the Guo family. The soldiers who stayed on the wall of the village looked at each other. It turned out that when they saw the scene in front of them, the eldest daughter of the Guo family was  The reaction was that we, Xiao Xianmo, came too late, did not even think about the word fear, and did not care about the direction of the war. In this regard, we are indeed far inferior to the eldest lady of the Guo family ¡«¡«  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~ In addition to Guo Rong and the others in Longshou Village watching the two Jurchen army horses meet, there is also a small army horse watching the scene of Yingzhou in the distance among the mountains in the southwest of Yingzhou.  It was the dozens of knights led by Tian Qiong. They had crawled into the mountains in the past few days, avoiding the Jurchen Army's Loushi Department's patrols and sentries. I don't know how much hardship they had to endure and how many dangerous roads they took with their mounts.  , just arrived near Yingzhou. There used to be two horses for one person, but now they can barely guarantee one person and one horse. Everyone's face is covered with large and small bloody wounds cut by the cold wind, and the cheekbones are so thin.  When they arrived, they discovered that in Yingzhou, there was already this post-catastrophe scene. Jurchen patrols were also in and out of Yingzhou city. They didn't know what the Jurchen Tatars were doing.  With this method, this fortified city was captured! For the sudden outbreak of the war, this is absolutely bad news. Yingzhou is already the key to this war. The Shenwu Changsheng Army holds it here, and the main force of the Jurchen Army goes south.  Isolated in the clouds, after the main force from Hedong caught up, these Jurchen Tatars could be rounded or flattened if they wanted to. However, once Yingzhou was lost, the Jurchen Tatars took the initiative and could advance and retreat freely, and the Xijing Datong Mansion.  The main force of the Jurchen Army didn't know what they would do! Everyone saw the tragic situation of Yingzhou's fall, and their hearts were ten times colder than the weather outside. The only good news was that there was still Shenwu Chang in Longshou Stronghold.  The flag of the victorious army is here! I don¡¯t know if the Guo family has safely retreated to Longshou Village! Since this is the case in Yingzhou, the only thing Tian Qiong can do is to send the Chuanqi.  Returning day and night, the other knights first reported the situation to see if they could establish contact with the defenders of Longshou Village. Knowing that there were reinforcements outside and not knowing about them were two completely different concepts.  News. The defenders can hold on even better! And Tian Qiong also noticed that although the Jurchen army and horses captured the Yingzhou fortress, they still looked like they were seriously injured.  It seems that they are also collecting food. There is almost no soldiers in Yingzhou City, and there are not many patrols. There are almost many loopholes at night, and it doesn't take much effort to sneak through.  After seeing the movements of the Jurchen Tatars in front of him, Tian Qiong prepared to sneak in tonight to see if he could go straight into Longshou Village. If he was lucky, he might not be able to alert the Jurchen Tatars. If the Guo family's wife was in Longshou Village, she would say.  Maybe we can even escort her to sneak out at night!  But a lot of planning came to nothing.  Today, Lou Shi's troops actually moved further north. The vanguard has arrived in Yingzhou and joined forces with the Jurchen Tatars here.  With the addition of these troops and horses, the vicinity of Yingzhou is firmly in the hands of the Jurchen Tatars, and any further movement will be extremely difficult.  And it will be more difficult for the troops coming from the south to recapture the key point of Yingzhou. From now on, the Yunnei states are completely open to the main force of the Jurchen West Route Army in Datong Prefecture in Xijing!  Tian Qiong squatted on the top of the mountain, staring blankly at everything in front of him. He held a piece of dead grass in his mouth and shook it for a long time.  The sergeants under his command also squatted with him, all of them had ugly faces, and no one was willing to say a word.  I don't know how long it took before Tian Qiong whispered: "There is no need to do anything tonight. Send people back to report the latest military information." One of his envoys agreed, and then asked: "What should we do?  ?¡± Tian Qiong snorted: ¡°You have worked so hard to get here, why don¡¯t you go back? Just keep an eye on these Jurchen Tatars!The envoy asked again: "Aren't you going to Longshou Village?"  " Tian Qiong shook his head: "Longshou Stronghold is strong, even if we add thousands of Jurchen Tatars, we won't be able to chew it down for a while.  Unless they capture thousands of people and slowly fill them with life If we act rashly now, we will give away the lives of dozens of brothers in vain Just watch from here!  After the Jurchen Tatars swept Shuozhou, they moved their troops here.  They have robbed a lot of food, and instead of eating and drinking comfortably in Shuozhou, they want to keep the access to Yingzhou even if they die I always feel that Zong Han of Datong Prefecture in Xijing will definitely do something!  This battle is getting bigger and bigger!  " Hearing that Zong Han of Datong Prefecture in Xijing was about to move, the envoy turned pale. There were tens of thousands of Jurchen Tatar soldiers, and there was no telling how many auxiliary troops from various ethnic groups. Thousands of Jurchen Tatars shook the clouds and grabbed  Xia Yingzhou. With so many main forces coming, even if the Hedong Army comes up, I don¡¯t know what a hard battle it will be!  Well, in this battle, King Yan has to come!  Straight bitch, another big battle!  We, the ever-victorious army of Shenwu, always encounter such deadly battles!  " With that said, he called his subordinates to retreat from the top of the mountain and find a sheltered place to spend the night. Since he was going to be delayed here, he had to better maintain the physical strength of his troops. If there were any changes in the military situation, it was best to report them back in time. " Tian Qiong is also a veteran.  Now that he is on the march, he has a strong premonition that in a few days, he will be able to see the Jurchen army appearing from the north in an endless stream, overwhelmingly pressing in front of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. At this moment, he can only think about the dragon!  Before retreating to the top of the mountain, Tian Qiong took one last look at Longshou Village. Have you escaped? (To be continued)
