Poor Family Chapter 882

  Chapter 882 Soldiers trapped on snowy road

There were about a hundred soldiers guarding the north city gate, but few people stood at the city gate during the snowstorm. Most of the soldiers went into the tower to sleep, and only five or six soldiers curled up in the city cave, wrapped in The blanket shivered.

  Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and several drowsy golden soldiers slowly opened their eyes, only to see a dozen tall and burly shadows walking into the cave.

   "Who are you?" The lead soldier asked sleepily, he hadn't woken up from sleep.

   But what answered him was a sword with a cold light, and with a flash of cold light, the head of the soldier fell to the ground, blood spattered out, and the pungent **** smell quickly permeated the entire city cave.

  The other soldiers were shocked, but they had no chance. A dozen soldiers rushed forward, covered their mouths, and cut their throats with sharp daggers.

In just a moment, all six soldiers guarding the city were killed. With a wave of Yan Qing's hand, more than 30 soldiers rushed to the top of the city. A sleeping soldier was completely lethargic.

  At this time, Yan Qing rushed to the top of the city with more than 30 soldiers. Yan Qing said to a general: "Go in and kill all the enemy troops, leaving no one alive!"

  The general led twenty soldiers covering their mouths and noses and entered the city tower. In just a moment, more than a hundred golden soldiers were all killed in a coma, and no one was left alive.

The soldiers of the Song Army moved quickly and slowly pushed the frozen winch, which was connected to the iron gate bolt on the gate. As the iron gate bolt was hoisted, the city gate began to creak open. There was no suspension bridge outside. The scout soldiers hid outside the city.

   "How's the situation?" A scout **** asked.

   "Please report to Dutong quickly, the North City Gate has been captured!"

  A dozen or so scouts immediately ignited the lighting sticks. This is actually a kind of fireworks with strong penetrating power. Despite the heavy wind and snow, they can still be seen clearly from a mile away.

  Li Yanqing immediately ordered: "Go to the city!"

  Twenty thousand soldiers of the Song Army rushed out of the pine forest like a flash flood, and rushed to the north gate of the county seat one mile away.

  At this time, the north gate of the county seat had been controlled by the scouts sent by Li Yanqing, while Yan Qing led the 500 men waiting outside the city to rush to the military camp inside the city.

The military camp is located in the east of the city, occupying almost 20% of the land in the county, and can accommodate up to 30,000 troops. The military camp is surrounded by walls and has more than a dozen sentry posts. There is only one gate that can be entered and exited. There are not many defenders, and there are no people on the sentry tower. It is meaningless to stand guard on the sentry tower in this weather.

Yan Qing was worried about alarming the barracks too early, so he didn't do anything, but tightly controlled five hundred soldiers outside the gate of the barracks to prevent the golden soldiers from breaking out. Anomalies were still discovered, and the alarm bell sounded on Nancheng's head.

'when! when! when! ' The alarm bells rang throughout the city, and commotion broke out in the barracks.

  At this time, the horseshoes sounded like thunder, and Cao Meng led three thousand cavalry to the barracks first. He shouted, and the three thousand cavalry rushed into the barracks like a gust of wind, and began to ruthlessly kill the golden soldiers.

  It was getting brighter, the blizzard that had been raging for a day and two nights finally stopped, the sun was shining on the earth again, Luojiao County began to boil, and people beat gongs and drums to welcome the return of the Song army.

Kneeling on the main street was full of 3,000 captured prisoners of war. Everyone was tied hands and feet, kneeling on the ground, eyes full of fear and despair, surrounded by a sea of ​​people, and countless victims were crying and wanting to rush to the bound soldiers , but was held back.

   "Kill them!" The people in the city roared together, and the captured soldiers shivered in fright. Many soldiers collapsed on the ground, weeping bitterly and begging for mercy.

   Seven thousand human heads have been piled up in the center of the square. These are the seven thousand golden soldiers killed by the Song army last night. Their heads were piled up together.

Li Yanqing stood on the high platform and said coldly to the captured soldiers: "You all used to be Song soldiers and surrendered to the Jin people. If you just wanted to survive, I would not kill you. I could let you go back to your hometown, but you have become Killing wild beasts, massacring your own compatriots like the golden men, and **** your own sisters, you are a heinous crime, only by killing all of you wild beasts can you protect more weak and weak, I, Li Yanqing, will take the heads of you and Jin Bing to announce to the world , Violate my compatriots in the Song Dynasty, I, Li Yanqing, will be more cruel than you, blood for blood, tooth for tooth!"

   After finishing speaking, Li Yanqing shouted sharply: "Kill!"

  Three thousand soldiers raised their swords high and slashed fiercely at the kneeling prisoners of war. Three thousand heads fell to the ground. Tens of thousands of people around screamed in surprise, but then deafening cheers erupted.

  When the early morning sun shone on the mountain road of Luoshui Road, the 30,000 gold soldiers suddenly burst into cheers. The soldiers jumped up excitedly, and the wind and snow stopped, which meant that they finally had the hope of surviving.

Wanyan Loushi was more impatient than the soldiers. His army could only carry five days of rations at most, so he stipulated that the Han soldiers in Luojiao County must deliver the army rations every two days, and ensured that the dry rations of the Jin soldiers could not be less than three days. Now three days have passed, but there is no trace of the military rations that were supposed to be delivered yesterday, and it will take at least two days to return to Luojiao County, not to mention the heavy snowfall, the road may be even more difficult, Wanyan Loushi is especially worried about avalanches .

   "Assembly and retreat immediately!" Before the tents were packed, Wanyan Loushi impatiently ordered the assembly and departure order.

The Jin soldiers quickly assembled and set off. On the snow-capped mountain road, a black line that was more than ten miles long was struggling to advance. The snow was knee-deep, and every step was extremely difficult, not to mention that it took nearly two hundred miles to return. Luojiao County, and Jin Bing only had two and a half days of rations left.

   At noon, a series of muffled thunder sounds came from the mid-air ahead, and the ground trembled slightly, causing the Jin soldiers to look at each other in blank dismay. The sky was bright and sunny, and there were no clouds in the sky. How could there be thunder?

  Wanyan Loushi's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Not good!"

  He thought of the most frightening thing, it must be that Song Jun was using thunder to trigger an avalanche, Wanyan Loushi suddenly turned his head and looked towards the mountain, only to see the snow on the mountain began to roll down.

  Wanyan Loushi was so startled that his scalp would explode, and he shouted tremblingly, "It's going to be an avalanche, retreat quickly!"

The golden soldiers also understood immediately, and ran back in panic. For a moment, tens of thousands of golden soldiers were scrambling to be the first, and the soldiers were crying and screaming, trampling on each other. With a cry, he fell into a canyon that was hundreds of feet deep.

   Dozens of personal soldiers galloped their horses to clear the way in front of them, hacking and chopping the soldiers blocking the way, and led the general to gallop on horseback.

At this time, the avalanche finally occurred in the mountain shaking caused by the explosion, and the snow with a width of several hundred feet and a length of about ten miles poured down. At this moment, people were as insignificant as ants under the violent avalanche. Amidst the screams, the snow fell heavily on the mountain road, and then slid down into the 100-foot-deep canyon. For a while, the snow foam filled the air, making it difficult to breathe. Wanyan Loushi jumped off his horse and ran for dozens of steps , threw his head on the snow, and closed his eyes in despair.

After an unknown amount of time, Wanyan Loushi slowly opened his eyes. He was not submerged in the heavy snow. Looking back, he found that the heavy snow was piled up a dozen steps behind him, and the horses and hundreds of soldiers behind him had disappeared. At the same time, more than 20,000 soldiers behind him disappeared.

   At this time, several soldiers helped Wanyan Loushi who was still in shock, "General, the avalanche is over!"

  Wanyan Loushi stood up slowly and looked at the army blankly. There were only seven or eight thousand people left, and the area where they stayed was only a section of mountain road less than twenty miles wide, and the front and back were blocked by avalanches.

  Wanyan Loushi's heart became colder than ice and snow. Just being affected by the thunder explosion, more than ten miles of snow collapsed, so I don't know how many miles of road ahead were flooded by heavy snow.

   "Let's work together to see if we can clear the road!"

The eyes of all Jin Bing showed despair. The snow piled up on the road was at least two feet high and two feet wide. It would take at least a day for one person to clear a pile of snow, not to mention that it was dozens of miles away. Snow is simply impossible.

   At this time, a soldier pointed to the mountain and said, "General, if you can climb over the mountain, you may find another way out!"

  Wanyan Loushi, who was in despair, suddenly saw a ray of hope, and he quickly shouted: "Where is Mr. Chen?"

  At this moment, Wanyan Loushi thought of the counselor Chen Guangzhao again. Chen Guangzhao is the only person who is familiar with the surrounding terrain. He shouted for a long time, but no one answered.

   "Mr. Chen seems to have fallen off a cliff while escaping." A soldier replied in a low voice.

  Wanyan Lou was stunned for a while, and had to say to a dozen soldiers: "Go up to the top of the mountain and have a look!"

  Although the snow fell, there was still a thick layer of ice on the mountain. It took more than an hour for a dozen soldiers to climb to the top of the mountain. They were stunned by the sight in the distance.

  In the distance is an endless world of ice and snow. Within hundreds of miles, there are huge rifts everywhere on the ground. Under the snow, it is unknown whether it is flat ground or a huge trap. There is no way to go.
