Gentlemen, listen to the sword chant

Chapter 90 The Battle of Lin Guming ([-])
"In the spring of the 24th year of Tai'an, Lin Guming fought. Outside Guangling City, the coalition forces of 28 towns fought against the Japanese pirates. It was a tragic scene of exterminated corpses. The flames of the battle were like a rush, blood flowed like a river, and the water color of the moat was ocher red, and corpses piled up in the field. The cries shook the sky, within a hundred miles outside the city, there was no one left, the lone geese flew back, and there were no branches to live in..."

Many years later, the historian commented on this battle in Qingshu.

The heaviness of history is beyond the capacity of ordinary people, and it is often an understatement. It may be the magnificent life of countless people. Even the dragons and phoenixes are struggling, let alone ordinary people?
For three days, for three full days, the search for a prescription was fruitless, and more and more people in the army developed symptoms.This poison has a slight effect and is not fatal, but when applied to soldiers on the battlefield, it can tilt the situation of the war.

Lin Guming held no less than five meetings in the past three days. In the end, the generals of the various ministries reported that [-]% of the troops available for combat accounted for [-]%, and the other [-]% were really terminally ill.Even so, the combat ability of the soldiers will be greatly reduced. The quality of the soldiers is not as good as that of the Japanese. Now they are infected with an inexplicable poison. It is simply impossible to win the war.

In a daze, Lin Guming's thoughts went back to more than ten years ago. At that time, he was young, unbelievably young, conceited and proud. He thought that everything in the world could find the answer.Young and good, with ideals and ambitions, he strives all his life to do things well, to be better, to be perfect, and to be impeccable. He regards Lin's honor as everything he strives for in his life, just for Grandpa proved himself, what his father and uncles could do, what Lin's ancestors could do, he Lin Guming could also do, he was not weaker than anyone else.Only now did he feel the cruelty of the war, and there were too many changes on the chessboard. He thought he had made a complete plan, and imagined the progress and development of the war countless times, but every step he took, he felt that he was far behind. Far worse than grandpa.Lin Guming has never denied his military ability. In the previous games with Uesugi, he fell into the passive again and again. He could always find the reason, but this time, he made a mistake.The direction of the war was beyond his expectations. He had imagined how this battle would end countless times, but it was only now that he realized how ridiculous he was.He made thousands of calculations, but in the end he missed a move, and it happened to be this move that pushed him into the abyss.

"Pass down our military order, mobilize all the legions to hold an oath meeting, and storm Guangling."

"As ordered."

Lin Guming had no way out.

Right now people have run out of grain and horses have no fodder. If they retreat, firstly, hundreds of thousands of soldiers will bleed and die in vain. People, the Japanese pirates take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the army is powerful.

Lin Guming assembled 30 soldiers and horses capable of fighting.

He is going to make the final swearing-in meeting.

In the barracks, Lin Guming put on his armor and helmet, stroking his sword around his waist, and slowly climbed up to the high platform. Behind him were more than a dozen military flags, fluttering in the wind. Lin, Jingzhou, Chu, Wanzhou, Qingzhou, Shandong, Qin, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, Yizhou, Nanzhao, Yelang, Bashu, Xiangzhou, and Yuezhou "Minzhou" and other words, the 30 troops in the audience are also soldiers and horses from these areas.At this moment, there were people beating drums to cheer. Although the soldiers had symptoms of poisoning, they all looked serious, staring straight at Lin Guming on the stage. They tried their best to restrain the depression after being poisoned.

Lin Guming hates the swearing-in meeting the most. In the past, he only heard about it in military books and field history. After all, if an army wants to hold a final mobilization meeting, it must be a bloody battle. It is a bloody battle that does not care about the consequences.Lin was so conceited that he thought he would never have that day, but he didn't expect that the first large-scale battle he commanded had to hold a swearing-in meeting.He was sad and ashamed in his heart. The sad and indignant was that he was framed and powerless; the ashamed was that he was going to deceive the soldiers.

"The Japanese pirates in the dog days boasted and threatened to destroy Wu and Yue in three months. But now, it will be fucking May. This battle has been fought for half a year, and we have smashed the plan of the Japanese slaves!"

"Originally, three days ago, with the concerted efforts of the soldiers, we conquered the gate of Guangling East Gate, and we are about to launch a general offensive to completely regain Guangling!"

"However, a group of wolf-hearted people appeared within us. They betrayed their promises, acted perversely, and acted in collusion. They openly defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. They did not hesitate to make fun of the lives of our hundreds of thousands of troops! Tell me, what should we do!"

"Wuzhou Mu is deeply experienced, this man is old and cunning, plotting against the people of Dongying, betraying the country and seeking glory, soldiers, tell me, what should I do!"

As soon as Lin Gusheng's words fell, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were originally quiet were suddenly in an uproar.

Lin Guming has always been in control of the cooperation between Xi Shen and Dongying people. He knows that he will die in this battle. After his death, more people with lofty ideals will go to the Wuyue battlefield. He can't let those good men bleed and die in vain. , he must expose Xi Shen.Furthermore, he wanted to use this matter to ignite the anger of the soldiers, and he was ashamed that he had to blame Wu Zhoumu for the poisoning.In fact, Lin Guming knew that the poisoning of the military rations was caused by treacherous officials in the court, but now he has no choice but to temporarily shift the responsibility to Xi Shen.

Sure enough, all the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, clamoring to suppress the thieves, wishing to make Xi Shen cramp.

"Expel the Japanese pirates and punish the national thieves!"

"Expel the Japanese pirates and punish the national thieves!"

The shouts were like thunder.

The soldiers were suffocating in their hearts. They supported Wuyue with the imperial court's call for thieves, just to recover the rivers and mountains and help the country. As a result, they went deep into Wuzhou to fight, but Wuzhou Mu became a traitor behind his back. Not only that, but also poisoned the army rations How insidious and cunning is this to set up a scheme to harm their hundreds of thousands of troops?
For a time, the anger of the crowd reached its peak.

The fighting spirit is high.

"Okay! All soldiers, follow me into battle to kill the enemy. First get rid of the Japanese pirates in Guangling. If you are lucky enough to win this battle, follow me into Xuzhou City and strip Xi Shen alive!"

"Eliminate the Japanese pirates first, and then the national thieves!"

For a time, countless people echoed and responded.

As soon as Lin Guming waved his hand, Lin Kaihe ordered his subordinates to detain a heavily tied young man. Everyone saw that it was Shen Yan, the governor of Wubei Huaiyin Army.

Shen Yan had already been tortured to the point of inhumanity. He heard the slogans shouted by hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and his whole body was shocked. When he learned that Xi Shen was actually a traitor, he immediately knew his fate. Crying and begging for mercy.Of course, Lin Guming didn't give him a chance at all, and directly read his fault aloud.Lin Guming asked Shen Yan and Xu Xiao to jointly defend Hailing. As a result, Shen Yan killed Xu Xiao for no reason, causing Wuzhou's northern and southern armies to fall into a civil war. The culprit of all the soldiers who were wiped out was Shen Yan.

The soldiers who were originally considered Xi Shen's national traitor heard Shen Yan's guilt, and immediately reprimanded him, thinking that he was also a national traitor, collaborating with the Dongying people, so they killed Xu Xiao, deliberately letting the Dongying people find a chance.

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

"..."

Countless soldiers shouted with red eyes, wanting to tear Shen Yan to pieces.

Lin Guming waved his hand and stared coldly, "Come here, put the rebels to death, and execute them Ling Chi, in honor of the spirit of the deceased heroic soul of our allies."

When Shen Yan heard the news, he was struck by lightning, and fell into gray despair.

When Shen Yan was being executed, Lin Gu ordered his subordinates to bring up the wine jars and fill them up for each soldier. All the ladles were smashed, and a torch burned the camp. For a while, outside Guangling City was a strange scene.

He did this to break the determination of the soldiers to retreat. This battle will be a bloody battle in Guangling.

Lin Guming laughed boldly and said: "Guys, Guangling City is our destination. As long as we win, the people of Guangling will send food from door to door, and the Guangling military depot will be open for our army. We only care about fighting. Kill all the Japanese pirates." Millions of soldiers, with swords and blood still in their waists, kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

At this time, the military flag had already been dyed red by Shen Yan's blood.

Lin Guming got on his horse, held the red-tasseled gun, and charged away first.

……

At the same time, Lu Qian launched a general attack on Hailing. He has 28 soldiers and horses. It is only a matter of time before he takes down a mere Hailing, at most it will only take one day.The Taozhi Mountain Rebel Army did not lose to any of the princes of the [-] towns. Strictly speaking, they were still bandit troops, so they did not eat the military rations of the imperial court, but what they cobbled together and borrowed from Chen Ci. Barely trying to get by, I didn't expect to step on shit luck, just in the case that all the soldiers and horses were poisoned, they still maintained their combat effectiveness.

……

Guangling.

Uesugi also opened the city gate after learning of the Lin Guming alliance, and no longer kept it. He wanted to fight Lin Guming in a bloody battle. There were still 20 soldiers and horses in Guangling City. As soon as the [-] reinforcements from Jinling arrived, there was no difference in strength between him and Lin Guming.In fact, even if the two reinforcements did not come, relying on the excellent individual quality of Dongpu soldiers and the general poisoning of Lin Guming's troops, the gap between the two would not require reinforcements.The reason why Shangshanqi waited for the reinforcements was to give Lin Guming a chance to withdraw his troops, because Lin Guming lost to the country, to the treacherous ministers of his own country, not him Shangshanqi.Uesugi cherishes the talent, and he doesn't want to see a hero like Lin Guming lose so disgracefully, and Shang Shanqi wins so disgracefully.It's a pity that things backfired, Lin Guming is a tough guy, he didn't retreat, but chose to burn the boat.

In front of the bronze mirror, Uesugi seriously put on his armor and took out his most cherished long knife. He wanted to fight Lin Guming with the highest etiquette of a samurai.

It's ridiculous to say that Uesugi has forgotten how many years he has not used his full strength. The last time, five years ago, he used all his force to fight the old lunatic Jian Zhiqiu. He tried his best and was easily defeated by the old lunatic. Resolve, can't hurt his hair, and since then, he changed his blind and arrogant mentality, thinking that there are people outside of people, and there is a sky outside of the sky.But in five years, apart from Jian Zhiqiu and the legendary sword god deep in the underground of the palace, Great Liang seemed to have no masters anymore?Uesugi knows that this is an illusion, the real strong disdain to be contaminated with worldly grievances, the strong don't bother to compete for superiority, they hide in the city.

Lin Guming, who was born in the Lin family who is the leader of the world's martial arts sects, has martial arts skills and is exquisite. He is an opponent who can make him go all out on Shanqi.

It's not just about war.

Also in martial arts.

When Uesugi left the mansion, Miyamoto had already ordered 20 troops to wait. There was no one in the city. The people knew that the war was coming after they died, and they all locked their doors and did not easily step outside. , After all, there was loud thunder and little rain, which did not affect the daily life of the people, but just raised prices a little.

"Set off."

In the twilight, outside the city, the army continued to press down on the territory, and the horses neighed like thunder.

This was the most tragic battle that broke out on the Guangling battlefield.Perhaps it was Lin Guming's spirit of seeing death as home, or Uesugi's determination to come to the battlefield in person, the soldiers who looked down on both sides became silent, and they were very silent with each other.

suddenly.

The two sides seem to have a tacit understanding, the sound of horseshoes is like thunder, and the darkness is overwhelming. Uesugi sees anger and perseverance in the eyes of this group of soldiers who rushed to kill him. He knows that it is inevitable.

Fifty miles west of Guangling, Goro Tojo stood on his horse holding the reins, wearing a splendid golden armor, looking ahead, full of ambition and smiling.He still didn't know that Hailing was in a bitter battle and was about to fall into the hands of the Taozhi Mountain rebels. At this moment, he only felt that he had defeated the Wuzhou army and was about to support him on Shanqi. You can take this honor and return to your hometown.

Although the Allied forces had an advantage over the Japanese army, that advantage was insignificant in such a charge.

There was no need for any charge horns, nor any ambushes, and the two sides fell into a quagmire.

Lin Guming's spear shot out like a dragon, and the gun's light flickered, and dozens of people fell down, very happy. With him as the center, countless Japanese soldiers died under his horse.Uesugi was also ordinary, with extraordinary combat power, the long sword passed by, and there was a violent sword energy, more than ten people died in an instant, and the two met in the battlefield very quickly.

"I heard that in the north of Great Liang, there is a spear master named Zhang Mingzhilu. Your Excellency's red-tasseled spear is superb. He must have obtained the secret book of the spear master." Uesugi said.

Lin Guming looked innocent, and said coldly: "'Little Qianye' is the number one school of swordsmanship in Japan. Your Excellency has mastered it well, and mixed it with the true biography of my Great Liang Sword Island. It is true."

During the exchange between the two, the first round of competition began.

The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the gun is the king of a hundred soldiers. This is a battle between kings and kings.

One person's spear is as bright as a rainbow, and the other person's sword intent is complicated, it can be said that it is difficult to compete, and they are evenly matched. The two fought back and forth, and in their spare time, they beheaded more than a hundred enemy soldiers.

Lin Guming jumped up, flew into the air, and flew to the top of the Guangling Tower in the blink of an eye. He felt that the battlefield was too small to be able to use it. Uesugi also thought the same way. It can be said that heroes see the same thing.

Uesugi stood on the tower, with drums beating behind him.

"You are very strong, you are the first young man who has been so strong in the ten years since I set foot in the land of Great Liang." Shang Shanqi commented.

Lin Guming held back his dizziness and dizziness, and said sarcastically, "As expected of a Japanese pirate from a small island country, my eyesight is short-sighted, and my Great Liang has a large number of capable people. People like me, in terms of martial arts, can't be ranked well."

Uesugi didn't speak.

The two competed again.

Under Uesugi's sword, like the Milky Way of the Nine Heavens, flying three thousand miles, but this sword was easily dodged by Lin Guming, the sword energy did not diminish its power, and directly cut off a tower, with a "bang", countless bricks The tile boulder fell with a huge momentum, which was very terrifying.Lin Guming shot down, straight for Shang Shanqi's head, the power of that shot was so terrifying, Shang Shanqi could have avoided it, but he chose to resist.The long knife roared, accompanied by the groan of the sword.

At this moment, under the city tower, an unkempt old lunatic narrowed his eyes sleepily, looked up at the two fighting in mid-air, and raised the corner of his mouth: "This old Zhang Zhilu, the apprentice he handed over is not bad. harmed."

The decisive battle between the two shocked the world.

The two sides fought bloody battles for [-] rounds, and it was hard to tell the winner. If you look carefully, you will find that Lin Guming is panting and has difficulty breathing. He has been poisoned, and he is already dizzy. Shun, failure is sooner or later.Shang Shanqi, however, became more and more courageous as he fought. He had never been so hearty as today. Meeting an opponent like Lin Guming was what he longed for the most. It was a pity. He also knew that Lin Guming was not in good condition today. .

"Come again!"

As the war continued, Lin Guming couldn't keep up with the speed.

He glanced out of the corner of the eye, only to realize that his own soldiers were also caught in a bloody battle. Suddenly, he saw countless Japanese soldiers rushing from the south and west of Guangling.

The battle lasted for a day.

In the end, both sides were nearly exhausted.

With the fall of the last Zhongzhou Iron Army, Lin Guming staggered and fell from the tower. He no longer had the strength to fight bloody. Seeing this, Uesugi jumped up and caught Lin Guming.Lin Guming was dying and passed out.

Uesugi looked at the overwhelming corpses outside the city, feeling dazed for a while.

"General..."

"Clean up the battlefield."

Uesugi carried the dying Lin Guming back to Guangling silently.

……

Three more days.

The news of Lin Guming's defeat in Guangling spread throughout the fourteen prefectures.According to incomplete statistics, about 30 people were killed by the Second Allied Forces in the battle of Guangling, which can be called a tragic victory.

On April 24th of the 25th year of Tai'an, the battle of Lin Guming came to an end. Although the battle ended in failure, it was of great strategic significance. It disintegrated Dongying's plan to destroy Wuzhou in three months, and made the Great Liang Empire enter the national war of resistance and unification. Front period.

……

Zhongzhou, capital city.

The last time Yu Ran visited the Marshal's Mansion at night, Lin Pojun didn't say anything after hearing the news, and told Yu Ran not to care about it, but when he learned that Lin Guming was defeated in Guangling, this gray-haired old marshal, The old marshal who had made the northern minorities frightened by the news finally couldn't help his eyes red, had a drink alone, and got drunk.Early the next morning, he summoned his old troops and assembled hundreds of thousands of Zhongzhou iron troops. No one knew what his plans were.

Listen to Chaolou.

Today, Prince Gong Ji Zai once again met with Takeshita Weibu.

"My lord, I have reported the battle of Guangling to His Majesty the Emperor. You have made great contributions. Without your help behind the scenes, our army could not have won such a victory."

Prince Gong smiled modestly and waved his hands: "I heard that Lin Guming is not dead, but just imprisoned?"

"Yes, I have written to Shang Shanqi, believing that he will execute Lin Guming."

"Well, Lin Guming must be executed. Only when Lin Guming dies, that thief Lin Pojun will desperately want to go to the Wuyue battlefield. When the time comes, I ask you to take action so that the old thing will never return. Well, without the Tiejun in Zhongzhou, the eunuch and the little baby in the palace will have no deterrent effect."

"Nature, nature."

……

However, at this moment, Uesugi was caught in a dilemma. The high-level officials of the cabinet and the military government sent him congratulatory letters and military orders. On the one hand, they congratulated him on defeating the Allied Army of Great Liang and achieved great victory; on the other hand, they sternly ordered him to be executed. Lin Guming, to pay homage to the spirits of the deceased soldiers.Shang Shanqi is not because of the sympathy between heroes and he is not willing to kill Lin Guming. On the contrary, he thinks that Lin Guming is a terrible enemy. Once this kind of person becomes an enemy, there will be endless troubles, but Shang Shanqi cannot kill him.

Miyamoto saw Uesugi's irritability and asked why he couldn't kill Lin Guming.

"Miyamoto, you always look at things too superficially."

"For one thing, Lin Guming is the eldest grandson of Marshal Lin Pojun, and the only young man in Qishan Marshal's Mansion who has the qualifications and qualifications to inherit the position of Marshal. If he dies, Lin Pojun will go crazy. No more restraints, do you know? If the hundreds of thousands of Zhongzhou iron troops want to go deep into the Wuyue battlefield, if they are desperate, relying on us, it is absolutely impossible to resist, and it will be thankless."

"Secondly, there are people behind this matter who are fueling the flames. We, Dongpu, are also pawns on the chessboard. Killing Lin Guming will bring no benefit at all, and will only cause endless troubles."

"Pavilion Master, what do you mean?" Miyamoto felt unhappy, he couldn't kill someone after arresting him?
