Water Margin farming to become powerful

The first targets of the grenades fired by Zeng Sheng's artillery were the surrender troops who were making engineering equipment near the forest at the front of the enemy camp.

The Jurchens set up camp in the same way as they used to fight against cold weapons on the plains, and deployed these troops as close as possible to Wanping County. In this way, even if Wanping County sent troops to raid, they would pass through the ranks of these troops first, so that the women would not be killed. Four of Zhenren's men were threatened.

But this just gave the city's artillery an opportunity to practice.

The camps of the Khitans were far less secure than those of the Jurchens, and they were all surrendered. There was no light control at all at night. In the eyes of the artillery, they were just living targets with lanterns on.

After a corrective shot, more than a dozen cannons all fired grenades at the fastest speed.

The Khitan surrender troops had already lost any morale. After being bombarded, they instantly collapsed. Then the group of rebel soldiers began to flee towards the Jurchen camp, taking torches with them to the Jurchen camp. All of a sudden, the Jurchen camp also lit up, and the artillery's grenades naturally followed them.

After the third round of shooting, the Jurchen's body also suffered significant damage.

From Shi Xiu's telescope, he could see that the enemy's position was in chaos after being bombarded by a round of grenades.

Countless people were shouting, and many were running away holding torches. In addition, it seemed that many nobles were injured. Their soldiers were snatching medical supplies loudly, calling for military doctors to come and treat them quickly.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongbi, who was in the Jurchen camp, looked at this scene and ignored the scratches on his body. He quickly stood up, drew his sword and pointed it at his men and shouted: "Every Puli, organize your troops and horses, within a quarter of an hour If there are still people running around in any camp, their centurion will be punished!"

Although Wanyan Zongbi didn't know what the big thunder-like thing that fell from the sky was, he also understood that the chaos in the camp at this time was definitely the worst sign, and there was a risk of an enemy sneak attack at any time.

Through the telescope, Shi Xiu saw the Jurchen officers below hurriedly trying to suppress the chaos in the camp.

Shi Xiu nodded: "The time has come."

"Launch a night attack!"

Several marching drums sounded at the same time in Wanping County. Almost instantly, the night raid cavalry who had been ambushing on both sides of the forest all rushed towards the Jurchen camp on fast horses.

A cavalry regiment plus a cavalry brigade of the Xi tribe, a total of 2000 people, suddenly burst out in the dark night, instantly adding to the chaos in the Jurchen camp.

The cavalry regiment of the Protectorate and the Xi tribe's cavalry fight in completely different ways. The cavalry regiment holds short spears and carbines, while the Xi tribe's cavalry wears simple equipment and holds long lances in their hands.

The cavalry regiment holding short swords and lances loaded their carbines with bullets and rushed into the camp. First, they fired a round of volleys to stun the enemies who caught up to fight back. Then they waved their sabers and rushed towards the enemies who had been beaten as fast as possible. He slashed and killed in front of him, and then under the leadership of the commander, he fled on horseback before the enemy could react.

They would go outside the battlefield to reload, then come back and fight again.

The fighting method of the Xi cavalry is to directly charge towards the enemy with their lances and shouting.

These Xi people are all nomadic people living in three states. They were originally the lowest class among the Xi people. They were forced to herd and could not farm. They have been trained as a source of cavalry for the Liao Kingdom. They were able to ride on horseback from an early age. Pommel horse, in terms of riding skills, even the people from the Jin country can't compare with them.

Originally, if people like the Xi people rushed forward to fight against the Jurchens, they would suffer heavy casualties, but the Jurchens' camp had just been attacked, and the chaos was not over yet.

The Jurchens were all stunned, and there was no way to fight back with bows and arrows in the dark forest.On the contrary, the Xi people received great nutritional supplements after joining the maternity care team. In particular, the nutritious food specially sent to them from Tianjin for the soldiers in the maternity care team included a large amount of baked buns made with fish oil.

Fish oil is originally the most readily available seafood in Shandong. Because of its fishy and unpleasant smell, even in Shandong, except for a few prefectures near the sea, no one is willing to eat it. It is used as lamp oil.

When formulating a nutritional supplement plan, students from the College of Agriculture considered these fish oils as cheap substitutes for cooking oil and added them to baked buns produced in Shandong.

These fish oils contain a large amount of fat-soluble vitamin A. Most people who eat food in this era are deficient in vitamin A and suffer from night blindness. However, the smelly baked buns developed by the Supervisory Committee directly caused the Supervisory Committee to downgrade after being eaten by the soldiers. The soldiers under the command have acquired night vision capabilities that far exceed those of people of this era.

When the Supervisory Committee discovered this advantage of the model examination, the food that the soldiers complained about a lot suddenly became a large-scale commodity ordered by the Supervisory Committee from factories in Shandong. It is now available in Laizhou and Dengzhou. There are more than three factories specializing in the production of this fish oil-rich baked bun.

After eating baked buns for several months, the cavalry of the Xi tribe were able to move at night far better than their opponents at this time.

In the chaos, the bright-eyed Xi cavalry rushed through the woods with their long lances, shouting and shouting, while the group of panicked Khitan people in front of them were stabbed layer by layer in an instant. die.

The person responsible for commanding the cavalry fighting outside the city was the head of a cavalry regiment of the protection army.

After letting the cavalry charge for a while, the young regiment leader came to the edge of the battlefield and took a look at the situation in the forest.

In the battlefield, the fire was obviously concentrated in two places. One place was the edge of the forest where the Khitan people gathered, and the other side was the Jurchen camp where the location was better and more dangerous.

Even before coming here, the group leader already knew the general location of the camp in the forest.

"The Jurchens must be guarding the food and fodder for their march this time."

The group leader took out his binoculars and looked at the place where the Jurchens gathered to see the loyalty, but because the forest was too dense, he couldn't see clearly at all.

"Third company commander!"

Time was running out and the captain had no more time to think. He roared and a young company commander rode out beside him.

"Reporting to the commander, I am the deputy commander of the third cavalry company. The company commander was injured just now. I am now taking his place in commanding the soldiers of the third company."

The regiment leader nodded and pointed in the direction of the Jurchens: "I'll give you a mission. Lead a company to go in. Don't ask for contact with the enemy. Find the enemy's grain platform as quickly as possible! In half an hour, you must find the location of the grain platform. , can you do it by sending out green flares to guide the artillery?"

"can do it!"

After the deputy commander of the third company made the military order, he summoned the soldiers of his own company and quickly went to the front.The Jurchens fought in the direction of the enemy. They divided their troops into three small teams in the forest and rushed towards the enemy through the snow.

At the same time, the commander of the cavalry regiment ordered the trumpeters around him to pick up the suona and play a specific rhythm, so that the soldiers from the Protective Army and the Xi Clan Maternity Protecting Cavalry Brigade would gather towards him.
