Water Margin farming to become powerful

Duan Pengju couldn't believe it at first when he heard Li Ping say that the one fighting him was not the protection army at all, but just their militia nursing team.

Just look at the bravery of the young and strong members of the Supervisory Committee when the cavalry rushed up the hill just now. If it was the militiamen of the Song Dynasty, they would have screamed and collapsed when they saw the cavalry rushing up crazily. So brave?
But by noon he had to believe it.

The supervisory committee was also surprised that Duan Pengju's cavalry ran so fast, and they had already killed Fan County in just one day. The previous preparations were far from enough. Outside Fan County, there were only the strength of the local nursing team. At noon, a protection army operating nearby was urgently transferred to the outside of Fan County to strengthen the defense.

Duan Pengju saw with his own eyes the majestic guard army appearing in the east of Fan County. The army was all equipped with rifled guns, and the shooting distance was farther than that of musket guns, and the firepower was far more than half of the men were equipped with musket guns. The nursing team of the gun can be compared.

Originally, Duan Pengju and the others planned to encircle the city from three sides, and after the city was captured, they would enter the city to gather.

But as soon as the escort appeared on the edge of the battlefield, it directly disrupted his plan.

The strength of this real protection army and nursing team can be seen at a glance. When they arrived at the battlefield and found that Duan Pengju was attacking the city, they organized an attack immediately.

Although there was no barbed wire and various defenses at all, the guard was able to face the cavalry's charge and the harassment of arrow rain in a pinch, constantly using volleys of guns to attack.

Under the coordination of the drumbeat, they continued to advance against the enemy's arrows, even if someone was injured, they were not afraid. This kind of battlefield execution directly made Duan Pengju look stupid.

Facing groups of enemies on the opposite side, the guards were not afraid of danger and were not at all chaotic. They fired guns, changed bullets, and fired guns continuously in a three-stage formation, as if they didn't know how to be afraid at all, so they directly sent Duan Peng to his subordinates. One of the card army was defeated.

More than 100 cavalry were actually chased by more than 60 guards from two companies and ran all over the battlefield. The Fan County Nursing Team defending the city was greatly able to breathe.

This made Duan Pengju very angry. Duan Pengju had already guessed that there were probably not many soldiers in Fan County, otherwise there would not have been more than 100 nursing teams coming to the front line. After asking Li Ping, Li Ping also confirmed Duan Pengju's opinion conjecture.

According to Li Ping, the guards hate the one city and one pool the most. They basically don't know how to defend the city, especially now that the guarding forces of the Supervisory Council are deployed in Dongping Mansion and Shouzhang and Yun to the west of Dongping Mansion. City, Fan County is easy to attack, hard to defend and far away from supplies, so it should have been abandoned by the Supervisory Committee.

When Duan Pengju and the others arrived this morning, the opening of the city gates should mean that the local supervisory committee was in a hurry to transfer the local people. The people who wish to leave are still waiting in the city for the arrival of the King Master of Song Dynasty.

Because the enemy's soldiers and horses were small enough, Duan Pengju originally expected that it would take at most half a day for his three thousand cavalry to take down Fan County in front of him.This calculation is very sensible, after all, he has the advantage in numbers.

But after the fight, Duan Pengju was stunned to find that the nursing teams in the city were so stubborn that he found it unbelievable.

The city of Fan County is very low, and the midwifery team in the city does not seem to have much ammunition prepared.

By noon, the nursing team had basically stopped shooting, and the artillery had already finished firing. They had already begun to use cold weapons to confront the besiegers, but there was no sign of surrender for a long time.

As for the nursing team that surrounded the two hills on the edge of the city, it was even more difficult.

Duan Pengju sent cavalry up the mountain to suppress them with firepower, but even after the opponent left dozens of corpses, he still let the opponent's large army retreat completely.

And when the nursing teams and the regular army in the nearby villages kept appearing on the edge of the battlefield after receiving news, the battle became even more difficult.

Duan Pengju had to grit his teeth on the project, but also had to guard against the constant harassment from the rear. After tossing and tossing, more than 3000 cavalrymen faced the city defended by only a few hundred infantry, but it took a full day to fail to capture the county town.

It wasn't until the dawn of the next day that Duan Pengju's deliberately left open north gate suddenly opened, and a large group of nursing teams guarding the city broke out from the city, leaving an empty city for Duan Pengju.

Duan Pengju couldn't be happy at all, because the number of casualties of the [-] cavalry he brought so far has exceeded [-].What made him feel ashamed the most was that the total number of armed supervisors on the battlefield would not exceed a thousand, and most of them were so-called nursing teams. According to what Li Ping said, the regular army of the Supervisory Committee was actually only in the early hundreds.

Even so, the number of casualties left by the opponent on the battlefield was less than that of his cavalry, and even when the nursing team in Fan County withdrew, they took the last group of people with them in their spare time.

Duan Pengju was very tired even now, but he couldn't rest after entering the city.

He sent someone to ask if there was anyone waiting outside the county government office, and he frowned when he learned that there was no one there.

Originally, Duan Pengju thought that they were the soldiers of the king. After the city of Shandong, which was ravaged by thieves, most of the local scholars and wealthy gentry would take the initiative to join the county government outside the eight-character wall.

Now there is no one there!
Although Duan Pengju didn't want to believe it in his heart, he also understood that although the supervisory committee's control time was not long, it must have subdued the big households in this place, otherwise how could this situation happen.

Not many people took the initiative to show respect, so Duan Pengju had no choice but to send people to the homes of the county's high school compound to knock on the doors one by one, asking them to send someone.

After searching for more than an hour, Duan Pengju finally saw a dozen people in front of the county government office.

Duan Pengju turned around in front of these people with a knife in his hand, and immediately saw that something was wrong: these people don't look very rich.

He hurriedly inquired, and he found out that among these people, not to mention the patriarch, there were not even many descendants of the direct line of the family, and the people who came were all the butlers of these big families.

Duan Pengju asked where their master's family went?All these visitors timidly replied that they had already left with the Supervisory Committee before.

Duan Pengju's nose turned out of anger in an instant. These big households are really rebellious, and they actually walked away from thieves.

Well, since it's not a big family, he doesn't need to be so polite.

Duan Pengju directly asked his soldiers to arrest people and interrogate them where their local food and money were hidden.

In the past, the Supervisory Committee did a lot of rectification of the local big households. Although it also used the benefits to make everyone obey, each family spit out a lot of their own ancestral properties. The big households also had a grudge against the Supervisory Committee in their hearts. However, the supervisory committee is still not very good in the evaluation of the big family.

And these stewards who were left by the big families basically chose to stay in the city when the main family evacuated. Many of the big families still had something to look forward to in Song Dynasty, and they basically had nothing to do when they stayed. For the idea of ​​surrendering to the Song army.
