The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 122 You are in big trouble
As soon as Yue Wenxuan saw Guan Sheng, he felt something was wrong.

Why is this guy holding a rifle?

Ring spear: The spear head is like a horse's neck, with barbs on both sides. The spear shaft is equipped with an iron ring near the spear head, which can enhance the stability of the connection between the spear head and the spear shaft, and prevent the spear head from falling off due to impact force when sprinting on horseback. It is suitable for cavalry to stab the enemy during a charge.

This thing can be seen everywhere in the Song Dynasty and is not uncommon.

What’s strange is that it is held in the hand of Guan Sheng, the big knife.

Where's your sword? Where's your sword?
Yue Wenxuan complained furiously in his mind for a moment, then explained himself: "Alright! The broadsword is just a storyteller's invention. No one uses a broadsword on the battlefield. Only my Guan Yu figurine, based on the novel's setting, can wield the broadsword smoothly."

He got to the point and complained about the enemy: "This Jin infantry unit looks like they just shaved their hair."

Wu Jialiang nodded. "Yes, it's obvious that he just shaved his head! It seems that he is a Hebei Han soldier who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom not long ago."

According to the "History of Jin Dynasty", after the Jin Dynasty defeated the Liao Dynasty, its prestige soared, and people from all tribes came to surrender, including Khitan, Han, Bohai, Tieli and other tribes. The Jin Dynasty took the opportunity to absorb many people from these tribes to enrich its army. When the Jin Dynasty first marched into the Northern Song Dynasty, among the 6 Jin troops, only half were pure Jurchens, and the rest were from the Khitan, Bohai, Han and other tribes.

Of course, the "History of Jin" flatters itself by saying that "its prestige was greatly boosted and people flocked to surrender", but that is all nonsense. The real situation is that the Jin Dynasty executed most of those who refused to shave their heads and surrender.

Kill, kill, kill anyone who doesn't listen to me!

Under such circumstances, many people had no choice but to surrender and work for the Jin Dynasty.

The leader of the Jin army was a Han Chinese who had just shaved his head. He had a strange, incongruous hairstyle. He himself might not be used to it. Every few seconds, he would touch his head involuntarily with his hand.

At this time, Guan Sheng's troops were not far away from the Jin army.

Just within an arrow's reach, archers from both sides did not shoot at this distance.

The Jin general opened his mouth and shouted in Chinese: "Jinan Prefect Liu Yu, I urge you to surrender quickly. You resist one more day, but you are one step closer to death. Surrender early and you still have a chance of survival."

There was a civil servant standing on the top of the Jinan city wall. It was the prefect Liu Yu. His face had a gloomy expression and no one knew what he was thinking.

Guan Sheng, who was arrayed outside the city gate, roared, "Surrender your mother! I will never surrender to the Jin people even if I die. I will get a head as ugly as yours."

The surrendered general was pulling his hair with his hands. Upon hearing this, he immediately broke down and said, "Fuck you, Guan Sheng, you want to die, right?"

Guan Sheng sneered: "Come on, come on, try to kill me."

"Damn it!"

The surrendered general cursed angrily and waved his hand to order: "Beat the drum."

The Jin army’s war drums are booming!

Guan Sheng also waved his hand: "Kill!"

The armies of both sides began to approach each other, and arrows immediately flew like locusts.

They are all Han troops and they all love to use bows and arrows.

Before engaging the enemy, the rain of arrows was like wave after wave, shooting with great momentum.

But at the moment when the two armies met.

The momentum of both sides weakened by three points at the same time.

The Song army had been weak for a long time. They were brave enough to shoot arrows, but when it came to close combat, they were as cowardly as dog shit. Coincidentally, both sides were Song troops, so everyone was cowardly.

The armies of both sides roared loudly, but the attack and defense in the front were not fierce.

It was like two cats fighting, their four little arms flailing for ages, each claw failing to land a single blow. Guan Sheng roared in fury, but his men were disobedient, and shouting was pointless. He simply gave up on his own troops and roared at the enemy general, "You damned baldhead, you half-human, half-ghost baldhead! You shaved your hair like this, do your parents, your ancestors, know about it? Won't they beat you up?"

The surrendered general was so frustrated by the repeated insults that he wanted to rush forward to challenge Guan Sheng in a duel. However, his personal guards held him back and shouted, "General! Calm down! Calm down! Why do we shave our heads? It's just to save our lives. If you rush out to challenge me, all this haircut will be in vain."

The general took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

Guan Sheng added, "You bald bastard."

"Wow!" the surrendered general said, "I'm going to fight him, I'm going to fight him."

He said he would fight, but his body did not move, so the guards easily dragged him back.

After the two armies had fought bravely for a while, they were both tired and retreated.

The Jin army retreated northward, planning to set up camp ten miles away from the city.

Jinan City was temporarily safe. Liu Yu, standing on the top of the city wall, shouted, "General Guan, come back quickly."

Guan Sheng refused to go back immediately. He took the Song soldiers and followed the Jin army, as if he was "escorting you to set up camp."

Wu Jialiang glanced at him and said, "Just when I was wondering how to get into the city, Brother Guan Sheng has gone with his army to chase the Jin thieves. We can wait for him to come back and recognize him."

Everyone waited patiently, and Guan Sheng "escorted" the Jin army for ten miles until they saw the Jin camp, and then returned to Jinan City.

Only then did Wu Jialiang lead everyone to meet Guan Shengjun.

They were discovered by scouts when they were still far away from the army.

The scout, dozens of meters away, spotted the group. Seeing they hadn't shaved their heads and didn't look like Jin soldiers, he relaxed his guard a bit and shouted, "Who are you? Beware of being mistaken for spies if you're spying from the side of the battlefield. Leave immediately."

Wu Jialiang clasped his fists and said to the scout, "Brother, please tell General Guan Sheng that an old friend, Mr. Wu, a private school teacher, is here to reminisce about the past."

After hearing this, the scout did not dare to neglect it: "You wait here, and do not approach the army again. I will send a message and come right back."

After a while...

Guan Sheng is here!

He came galloping on his horse, as fast as a meteor.

Even from a distance, he roared from his horseback, "Brother Jialiang! I haven't seen you for so many years. I miss you so much."

The personal guards following behind him were also his old comrades. When they saw Wu Jialiang, they all recognized him and shouted in unison, "Military Advisor! Ha, Brother Luo Tuimao is here too."

They were like those couples in the movies who meet at the train station after years of separation, running towards each other and kissing passionately. But no! They just held each other's hands, tears welling in their eyes.

"Brother Jialiang, where have you been these years? How have you been?"

"Brother Guan Sheng, your body has become stronger."

I don’t know if this can be considered a chat. Everyone talked about their own things, and after omitting 100 million words, both sides finally got to the point.

Wu Jialiang introduced them, "This is Brother Ip Man, and this is his disciple, nephew Bruce Lee. Both of them are masters who have helped me pacify the many gangs of bandits and bullies in Jimo County. And this one is Yu Fanwen, the head of Jimo County. He is a skilled martial artist and a true hero."

Guan Sheng greeted them one by one, showing his heroic spirit.

When it was his turn to greet Master Ye, he heard Master Ye sigh and say, "General Guan, you are in great trouble."
