Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 68 Late in the day, the sky desires blood
  On this occasion when it was snowing, it was supposed to be a pleasant day like a small red clay stove, but in front of Liu Ling, it turned into the chilling atmosphere of an iron horse.

In his roar, a scarlet flag stood up in the wind. The cavalrymen urged their horses to follow him. The backs of their hands holding the swords were so cold that they would need blood to warm them later.

The horse's hoof trampled on the ground, and the sparse falling snow on the surface of the soil was actually shaken and flew up again, hovering on both sides of the horse's hoof, and in the eyes of the golden soldiers at the front, it instantly became the oncoming sword light.

The cavalry used the momentum of their horses to crash into the crowd. Countless blood flowers burst out from between their armor and flesh, spreading in strands on the snow, slightly melting the snow, like clusters of red plum blossoms suddenly blooming.

The cavalry on both sides of Liu Ling continued to hit the ground with the war horses, and the cavalry at the rear urged the war horses to continue running around him to protect him.

Everyone can talk empty words and big words, but Liu Ling used countless facts to tell his soldiers: Follow me and you will have food.

In the end, what they got was not a mouthful of food like feeding a dog, but food for human consumption, the treatment that a human being should have, and the respect that a human being should receive. Liu Ling gave them all these.

Qiu Ba, who really dares to lick blood with his sword, doesn't actually know much about the justice of his family and country. At most, he knows which side he belongs to. This is especially obvious in the victorious soldiers.

But if you say that they have no hope in their hearts but can fight to the death, that's impossible.

"Follow me, General, rush into the Jin camp and kill them all!" Liu Ling summoned all his strength as he galloped, and roared again. The wind and snow scratched his face like a knife, and the white horse neighed. He knocked away a golden soldier, but the horse's hoof also staggered and almost fell down.

More than one-third of the more than 300 cavalry beside him were lost in just the short moment of charging into the formation. Even the Pingzhou Army in the rear immediately rushed out of a cavalry group to come close to support, but The victorious army cavalry who fell off their horses were quickly killed by the surrounding golden soldiers.

When people reach a desperate situation, they either fail to recover, or they just get through it and carve their own path.

The victorious army cavalry who fell off their horses and were killed failed to find their own way. When they heard Liu Ling's shouts and saw that Liu Ling was obviously frustrated but still told them over and over again that he would win, especially when they saw his figure rushing in front,
  The banner of the golden man suddenly became less scary.

Shi Liai once said that living is better than all high-sounding reasons.

Liu Ling replied: Living is to choose a way to die.

They had food to eat, clothes to wear, and many people got married in Zhuozhou, marrying the women bought by Liu Ling. This was all handled by Liu Ling. When he received the purchased people outside the city, Liu Ling burned their slave status and restored everyone's innocence.

They have lived through enough hard times, and even a little sweetness can make these Qiu Ba remember it for a long time.

Liu Ling had deliberately released those cavalrymen as bait, and not all the sergeants were brainless Qiu Ba. They could guess what was going on, but they followed him as if they were dead-set.

Ordinary people would fight each other to the death if their interests were even slightly different. However, these Qiu Ba chose to give up their lives and hearts when they knew that they were very likely to die in battle.

Everyone knows that if they go any further, they will die.

Then, die.

We die, you live.

We'll help you find a way out!
  Arrows passed over their heads. The cavalry were all wearing armor. Some of them were hit by five or six arrows and were still urging their horses to charge.

Facing the oncoming cavalry, the formation of the golden soldiers was quickly dispersed, but it was still fierce. Many golden soldiers even took the initiative to greet them. They would rather bear the price of injury or even death in battle than slow down a cavalry. , so that his colleagues could work together to pull him off his horse and kill him.

The white horse still carried its owner and ran wildly. Several golden soldiers who faced him immediately raised their spears and stabbed him. Liu Ling subconsciously held the reins and slowed down, but the captain who had been following him suddenly increased his speed and passed Liu Ling. He hit the gun blade. In an instant, the spear broke, and several pieces of the spear were deeply embedded in the neck of the war horse. Dark blood continued to seep out from the wound. The captain rolled to the ground along with the war horse. A clear cracking sound came from the chest, and his mouth was filled with blood. The taste of blood.

He lay on the ground panting, and cavalry kept rushing past him. Everyone was vying for the opportunity, and they had to defeat the last few golden soldiers in front of them before they could enter the camp. So even if he saw his comrade falling from his horse, he had no time to rescue him and just avoided him as much as possible.

The captain's chest hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. His vision was dim. He only vaguely remembered that night in Shimen Town. At that time, there were Liao soldiers standing at the city gate. When General Liu led them out of the city gate, he accidentally fell off his horse. He thought he would die. Undoubtedly, it was General Liu who pulled him onto his horse and rushed out together.

Because he didn't know how many bones were broken in his body, he wanted to stand up and look at General Liu's back, but the severe pain prevented him from standing up anymore. In the end, he could only lie next to the body of his horse, looking into the darkness. night sky.

"General, General"

There is only a short distance of a hundred steps from the camp gate. Because of the presence of those golden soldiers, it is as insurmountable as a natural chasm. Liu Ling already has several arrows stuck in his body. Fortunately, he is wearing heavy armor, and many of the arrows did not penetrate the armor. It hasn't hurt his vitals yet.

As the hastily formed formation of the last dozens of Jin soldiers was overwhelmed, the cavalry finally rushed into the camp. Because of the charge outside regardless of casualties, the Jin soldiers who originally went out to fight were trapped outside by the Pingzhou army and found it difficult to withdraw support. .

The remaining golden soldiers in the camp were scattered again.

Because Liu Ling led the victorious army cavalry in the lead, the hundreds of cavalrymen in the Pingzhou Army suffered very low casualties. After entering the camp, they immediately gathered together to rush and crush the last line of defense hastily formed by the Jin people.

Wanyan Yanmu originally led the army to fight outside the camp. When he saw the cavalry rushing into the camp, he felt panicked. Then the fire burst into the sky, making his face suddenly pale, and he murmured in despair. road:

"It's over."

The soldiers around him were already preparing to support him and rush out, but Zhang Dungu, the general on the opposite side, knew that there was no room for change between him and the Jin people, so he expected to use Wanyan Yanmu to negotiate the price with the Song people to save his life. How could he do it so easily? Let it go, I would rather abandon some of the golden soldiers, but also surround the central army where Wanyan's mother is.

There were fires everywhere in the camp, and the remaining Jin army had completely collapsed. When he ran out of the camp, Liu Ling raised his bow, and every time he saw one, he kept firing arrows to kill him like a dog, his eyes wandering around. at last.

In a huge burning tent, several maids were helping a beautiful woman escape. When they saw Liu Ling and the cavalry behind him, they were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, shouting that this was the deputy capital's wife.

Outside, when the fierce fighting continued until dawn, only dozens of Jin soldiers covered in blood were uniformed and pushed to the ground. Wanyan Mu was directly carried by two Pingzhou soldiers and thrown to the ground. Zhang Dungu came over and looked at her coldly. Looking at him with a sarcastic smile on his face.

There was still some sporadic resistance in the camp, so Zhang Dungu sent someone to take Wanyan Mu and ask him to go to the camp to recruit the remaining golden soldiers.

When Wanyan's mother walked into the burning camp, she saw that the corpses of the golden soldiers inside had been artificially stacked up to form a hill.

There was a young general covered in blood sitting at the bottom of the mountain of corpses. There was a knife in his hand. The blade was full of gaps and pits, and the blood splattered on the blade had solidified into ice. Standing near the young general were more than a hundred soldiers who were equally embarrassed but had an inexplicable ferocious aura.

Next to him, kneeling was a beautiful woman, trembling all over.

As if aware that someone was watching, the young general slowly raised his head and grinned at Wanyan Yanmu. The blood and frost on his face twisted, revealing a smile that made the latter feel a little heartbroken.

He patted the mountain of corpses behind him,

"Come, sit down."
