Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 577 Jin Guojun happily surrounded Wanping
The northernmost county in Youzhou Prefecture is called Changping, but this place is adjacent to Juyongguan. Since the Jin people went south, there was no possibility of holding the Changping Line, so the North China base simply abandoned this county and moved all the people south to enrich Wan. Defense in Pingxian area.

After the Jin people captured Changping, they did burn, kill and loot in the county town, making it impossible for the area to recover its defensive capabilities for at least five or six years. In the future, whether the Song Dynasty or the Supervisory Committee occupied Youzhou, they would not be able to break through to the north. The Jin people in Juyongguan have any ability to contain them.

This is also the main reason why Wanyan Zongbi and others despise the North China base area.

People in the cold weapon era simply could not imagine how Youzhou, which had lost Changping and could only rely on Wanping County for defense, could defend it?

All the former Liao officers around him were in high spirits, full of thoughts of gaining the approval of their new master through this battle. Wanyan Zongbi, after being slightly surprised, put his heart back in his stomach. Regardless of the performance of the Supervisory Committee, No matter how weird it is, it can't withstand a sword or a gun. If it's chopped off with a knife, the head will fall off. What other weirdness can resist it?
So Wanyan Zongbi and others continued to advance southwest, and by noon that day, Wanping County appeared in the distance.

Wanyan Zongbi and others were surprised for a while when they saw the city walls of Wanping County.

Wanping County had already established a county seat as early as the Tang Dynasty. However, because the Liao Kingdom's Xijin Prefecture was later placed in Xijin County and a huge city wall was built there, Wanping County's city defense level has always been poor. How high.

Many of the Khitan nobles who came with Wanyan Zongbi had been active here before, and they had all seen what Wanping County looked like before. In my memory, the county seat of Wanping County was only two feet high, but Wanping County at this time The county actually built a huge earth slope outside the city wall. Although Tu Lei was built in a hurry, the height of the city was indeed more than twice as high as the original. It suddenly appeared below the Yanshan Mountains, which was quite visually shocking.

"It seems that the Supervisory Committee is determined to resist us..." Wanyan Zongbi looked at the tall city wall with a disdainful sneer on his face.

If five years in the morning, the Supervisory Committee had built a strong city to block their way forward, the Jin people might really have nothing to do with this city, but now the Jin State has indeed captured four of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom. , and also received the surrender of a large number of Liao people, and had already had the ability to siege the city. Wanyan Zongbi had long expected that the Supervisory Committee would resist to the end by completing the construction, so a large number of the more than 2 servants brought this time were dedicated Technical personnel brought for siege.

The number of men and horses in the Kingdom of Jin is very short now, and there is not much energy to spend on the North China base of the Supervisory Committee. Being able to draw 4000 people is already a sign that the Supervisory Committee attaches great importance to them. Wanyan Zongbi is not willing to follow the previous method with these 4000 people. Wanyan Zongbi went to the wild to fight, but when he saw this tall city, Wanyan Zongbi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Supervisory Committee doesn't have any new tricks. Isn't it just the way the Han people huddled in the city to defend themselves to death?
But now the situation is different. They, the Supervisory Committee, are only a minority in North China and are surrounded by many people. On the contrary, the Jin people can get a steady stream of supplies from the prefectures and counties that the Liao Kingdom has already occupied. They have a backer behind them, so there is no need to worry.

Wanyan Zongbi instantly felt relieved. There were Khitan surrendered troops to consume anyway. He was happy to turn all 4000 Meng'an men under his command into a war supervising team, and he supervised the Khitan and Han people building siege equipment for him under Wanping County.

Wanyan Zongbi and others had no fear of the Supervisory Council, and the Liao surrendering troops under him also laughed it off after seeing this huge city.

Wanyan Zongbi and others wanted to abide by the rules of camping in the army and camp five miles underground from the county seat to avoid being attacked at night. However, his Khitan nobles directly suggested to Wanyan Zongbi that it would be enough to camp within one mile of the county seat. .

"If these Han troops dare to come out to steal the camp, just attack them when they open the city gate, and the city can be captured easily." Hearing the fearless words of these Khitan people, Wanyan Zongbi nodded secretly, It seemed to him that these Khitans had all abandoned their armor when fighting against the Jin people, but he did not expect that they would have such strong self-confidence in front of the Han people, as if they had returned to a place where they had the upper hand.

Wanyan Zongbi knew that this kind of self-confidence was cultivated purely because of long-term victory. It can be seen that the Han troops in front of him are really not very capable of fighting.

He was already arrogant, but after listening to the Khitan people's words, he couldn't help but feel contempt for the Supervisory Committee in front of him.

Wanyan Zongbi took a look at the terrain in front of Wanping County, and then ordered:
"Meng'an camped three miles away from the county seat. The Han army was cutting down trees in the woods in the mountains outside the city to build engineering equipment. The Khitan noble generals dispersed their camps to protect the Han army. They must not make any mistakes."

Wanyan Zongbi felt that the method used by the Khitan nobles to camp close to the city was too dangerous, so it was impossible to listen to them. In Wanyan Zongbi's opinion, these Khitan people were not very good at fighting.

He chose the place closest to the woods to camp. In his opinion, such a far distance was enough to ensure the safety of his men. He now also felt that the Han people did not have the courage to go out of the city to attack their army.

And as the Khitan people said, Wanyan Zongbi and others set up camp at noon. Until the afternoon, the entire Wanping County was quiet, and no one dared to come out.

In the evening, the Jin people in the camp finally agreed with what others said. They listened to the various jokes between the Khitans and Han people about how the Song people were too weak to fight, and laughed with them.

After seeing that the Jin people understood their jokes, the Khitan and Han surrendering troops told more and more bizarre and embarrassing stories about the Song people out of the desire to please them.

Wanyan Zongbi was riding a horse in the camp to supervise their construction of engineering equipment. He could also understand Chinese. After hearing a few ridiculing words from those people, he also laughed and used his riding whip to point out a Han surrendered general. People came running over quickly.

"Are Han men really so weak? Just like women?"

The Han general was already 50 years old, but he looked frightened in front of Wanyan Zongbi, who had just turned [-]. He half-hunched his body and said with a flattering smile: "That's natural. A few years ago, the Khitans led the army." When I went to fight the Song army, I heard that their commander was actually a eunuch. This shows how evil these Song people are. It is said that not only people from the Song Dynasty but also Sun Xin, the rebel leader of the Supervisory Committee of Shandong, are also Bearded ones.”
