Water Margin farming to become powerful

At noon, Wanyan Zongbi, who had returned from fighting another way, had already returned to the wilds of Wanping County. Before he could set up camp, the Khitan army who had been talking first had discovered the patrolling supervision team.

At this time, they had arrived not far outside Youzhou City. Wanyan Zongbi immediately ordered the Khitan team to go up and wipe out the Han maternity team.

Zhang Xuan listened to Wanyan Zongbi's orders and didn't think there was any problem. Even if he used the fighting methods of the Liao people in the past, he could easily win this kind of Han lone team. Of course, he would not have other ideas.

Wanyan Zongbi and others continued to camp, but not long after, they saw a flying horse coming back.

"Reporting to the Sixth Prince, Li Ping's team was defeated, and the Han maternity team injured a Khitan team and left."

Wanyan Zongbi was furious when he heard this: "You Khitan surrender troops must have disobeyed orders during the battle, otherwise why can't you even defeat the Han team?"

"The whole team came back? Bring that Li Ping here!"

Soon after, a bearded Han officer was brought to Wanyan Zongbi. The Han officer looked very embarrassed. He quickly knelt down and defended himself:

"The people in the maternity team were equipped with muskets and opened fire from a distance. My brothers were not prepared for the moment and were caught off guard."

Wanyan Zongbi looked at Li Ping's appearance, frowned and asked, "Are the number of people on both sides of you equal?"

"Absolutely. If it were the Han army in the past, a considerable number of them would have fled away when they saw us. But I didn't expect that the birth care team actually dared to fight back. Their equipment was far stronger than that of the Song people we fought in the past. There are many, and they are very thieves when fighting."

Hearing this, Zhang Xuan, who was next to Wanyan Zongbi, was also shocked. Everyone was wondering, how could this Han team be so strong?At this time, according to what Li Ping said, I am afraid that the ordinary troops of the Supervisory Committee are not just ordinary people.

Wanyan Zongbi thought for a moment, his expression changed, and he scolded Li Ping and said, "You must have been careless when fighting. How can you have so many excuses?"

"Since this is your first offense in our team of the Great Jin Kingdom, I will spare you this time. You will still be sentry riders in the next battle and coordinate with other teams. You must not make the same mistake again."

"You and your horses are all injured. I'll make up for it. Get down."

Li Ping thanked him repeatedly and quickly got up and left.

Wanyan Zongbi suppressed the matter and fiercely asked the officers around him not to disclose it to the outside world. After a short rest, Wanyan Zongbi began to allocate troops to prepare for the attack.

This time, his camp was pitched five miles away. During the preparation period, Wanyan Zongbi naturally sent Khitan and Han troops to collect grain and grass outside the city. However, the news reported back was the same as the situation along the way. In Wanping All the farms outside the county had no grain, and even the people fled into the county.

Wanyan Zongbi could only block the information again, which made Zhang Xuan and other former Liao generals feel uneasy.

While the army was cooking pots, Wanyan Zongbi heard someone in the army saying that their army was short of food. Wanyan Zongbi called Zhang Xuan and other subordinates to the generals. Zhang Xuan thought about it and said: "This seems to be a suspicious soldier of the Han people." plan."

Hearing this, all the Jurchen nobles were very angry.

This kind of strategy has always been used by the Jurchens against the Liao and Han people. Now these people from the Supervisory Committee dare to use it against them. In their view, it is a sign of shame.

Zhang Xuan felt bad after hearing this. What's the use of being angry at this time, and looking at everyone's reaction, it was obvious that the food shortage was real.At this time, Zhang Xuan already regretted taking the initiative to attack the supervisory committee's base area. He always felt that this expedition would not go well anywhere.

Sure enough, Wanyan Zongbi announced the attack on the city after lunch. Zhang Xuan did not dare to tell his subordinates, but he knew in his heart that Wanyan Zongbi did not have enough food to continue resting outside the city, and he was afraid that the army would continue to spread the news about the food shortage, so Just act early.

A surprise attack last night had destroyed all the engineering equipment manufactured by the surrendering troops, but it was impossible to capture Youzhou Prefecture without taking Wanping County, so the Jurchens directly asked the surrendering troops to carry ladders to attack the city.

The Jurchens asked craftsmen to temporarily build some shield carts covered with cowhide and wooden shields. They barely put long ladders on the carts, and asked the Khitan people to push these carts to the city to prepare for a deadly battle on the city.

All the surrendered troops were timid when they heard the news, and Zhang Xuan also swallowed his saliva.

This is a method that only rogue bandits would use to attack the city with ants. I don’t know how many people will die if I want to capture Wanping County using this method.

But seeing that the war was about to begin, the Jurchens had sent war supervisory teams to each camp. Everyone had sharp blades in their hands. However, the surrendered troops before the operation were not distributed weapons. Everyone couldn't run away even if they wanted to, so they had to We received weapons in batches and went to the battlefield.

That afternoon, war drums were beaten outside the vast Wanping County. The Jurchens rode on horses and followed the teams with sabers in hand to supervise the battle. Groups of Khitans were forced to push shield carts and rush toward Wanping County.

The defenders in the county town opposite quickly mobilized their artillery fire. Before the Khitan's advance troops could reach five hundred steps outside the city, the city's cannons fired in unison.

The experience of being bombed last night was still fresh in my mind. When they heard the rumble of cannons, all the charging Khitan troops began to feel uncontrollable fear in their hearts.

The Jurchens riding horses beside them waved their sabers, urging them to continue rushing forward, while shouting:

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you see us last night? As long as you lie down on the ground, you won't be killed by these firearms. These Han firearms will bounce off your car if they hit it!"

Although that is said, these people hiding under the shield car cannot see it, but the Jurchens riding on the horse can clearly see that the attack on the city this time is not the explosive one yesterday. Instead of iron balls, each cannon blasted out round iron bullets.

"boom!"

An iron bullet hit the shield cart that was impacting the city wall from the front. It directly broke the shield of the shield cart into pieces. The sawdust flew out and instantly turned a group of Han soldiers who were hiding behind the cart into hedgehogs.

The Jurchens were busy urging the people pushing the carts to move faster, so that they would not die as long as they pushed the carts to the bottom of the city.

When they approached two hundred steps below the city, only one-third of the stormtroopers pushing the carts were left. At this time, just as the Jurchens said, the shelling on the city stopped.

The Jurchens no longer dared to move forward. Seeing this situation, they just smiled and shouted:
"Look! Walk faster and the credit for climbing first will be yours!"

Just when he said these words, there was a loud bang, and the cannon on the city exploded again.

What was fired this time was not an iron bullet, but a cloud of fine iron particles, which instantly turned the Jurchen on the horse into a hornet's nest.
