Water Margin farming to become powerful

Wang Cai was encouraging the rebels and repeatedly preached that as long as he held on to the city defenses, he would definitely win. At this time, he heard the soldiers below the city shouting: "The water is moving!"

In an instant, all the commanders and soldiers on the top of the city were nervous. Wang Cai quickly jumped down the steps with two generals and ran to the pothole to check.

When he looked at it, he saw that the water in the basin was rippled gently.

"Go look around!"

Several soldiers ran away quickly, and soon there were reports from three or four nearby cave entrances: "The water here is also moving!"

"It's here too!"

After searching around, everyone finally found the direction where the ripples on the water surface were the most violent.

Wang Cai jumped directly into the pit and listened carefully with his ears against the wall of the pit.

Although Canton Vaud is located in the north, because of its flat terrain, rivers can form with a little accumulation of water. The water system here is complex and the soil is loose.

Wozhou City is built on a plain and is not dangerous to defend. Fortunately, after hundreds of years of rest during the Song Dynasty, the city wall is quite strong. The Jurchens sent a Puli to attack this place half a month ago. The reason why they failed to capture it is because they relied on The credit of the city wall.

Although the supervisory committee's armed forces have not arrived this time, a lot of supplies have been sent, a large part of which is gunpowder used to defend the city.

By the way, several industrial talents from the Supervisory Committee also came with them. Just like Wuma Mountain, they also came specifically to teach the residents of Gaoyi how to make city defense equipment such as ten thousand enemies.

The Supervisory Committee has long invested in special research on operations behind enemy lines. The industrial department and sergeant department of the Supervisory Committee have jointly mobilized human resources in the university. Now they have developed several temporary weapons for city defense. Basically, as long as they have Cities with wood, stone and clay can quickly organize the production of thermal weapons.

The Supervisory Committee has even developed several explosive formulas adapted to local conditions. Gunpowder can be made from lard, butter, brown sugar or even feces.

Of course, this kind of gunpowder is not qualified for loading muskets, and its power is not as powerful as a fart, but it can also have a very good explosive effect if it is stuffed with ten thousand enemies and thrown into the city.

With the defensive conditions of Gaoyi, Wanyan Zongwang personally led tens of thousands of troops to attack. After two days of trying, he was unable to do anything about the county.

So now the Jurchens are starting to think of other ways to attack the city.

The best way is of course to dig a tunnel.

The method of digging into the ground to destroy the city has been invented in ancient times, and the soft land in Vaud makes it easier to use this method.

Therefore, what the residents of Gaoyi City have been thinking about day and night these days is to prevent the enemy from digging through the city wall and entering through the tunnels.

The method of placing water basins in potholes to detect the enemy's digging movements was also taught by the Supervisory Committee University and it really worked today.

The soldiers who jumped into the pit to listen to the sound still couldn't detect the source of the subtle sound after listening for a long time.

Wang Cai simply asked people to come up, and then roughly drew an area where the enemy might dig in. Then he sent a dozen civilians to pick up hoes and shovels and dig down quickly.

These peasants dug holes to a depth of more than ten feet, and they stopped only when water came out of the ground.

Even if the Jurchens wanted to dig deeper, it would be impossible. If they dug deeper, the tunnel would probably be filled with water.

Then everyone waited beside the tunnel.

In the middle of the night, a sparse sound was heard in the pit, followed by a crash. The soldiers standing beside the tunnel saw the pit going down to a person's height.

The clod of earth was suddenly opened.

Several Han soldiers emerged from the hole.

They were all a little confused when they saw that the front suddenly became empty when they were halfway through digging.

At this moment, the soldiers who had been waiting in the cave had already put their iron spears to their foreheads. "Don't talk. Is there anyone behind you?"

Those disgraced Han soldiers who had surrendered to the army were captured dumbly without knowing what was going on. After being beaten, they finally told the truth.

They burst into tears and said that they were also forced by the Jurchens to dig tunnels. Because the Jurchens were forcing them in a hurry, three of their soldiers digging tunnels had already been beaten to death by the Jurchens underground. They did not want to be traitors. It was all because their commander surrendered that they had no choice but to follow and become the lackeys of the Jurchens.

"Where is the deck leader who led you to surrender?"

"Reporting to the general, that guy was killed by the general when he attacked Gaoyi City a few days ago."

"Are there any Jurchens behind you?"

"The Jurchens are still at the entrance of the tunnel. The tunnel is very dirty. They won't come down until we go back and report them."

Wang Caidang even ordered two operations to escort the surrendered soldiers back to report to the Jurchens and lead them down the tunnel, while the other Han surrendered troops were all controlled and continued to ask them about the location of other Jurchen tunnels.

A quarter of an hour after the surrender officer was pushed back, the rebels guarding the entrance of the tunnel heard a burst of footsteps coming from the tunnel. Walking at the front were the surrender officer and two soldiers from the maternity team.

The Jurchens following them were cursing, and a translator who had surrendered to the Jurchens was translating their words.

"The centurion said that you Han people are so dirty and smelly. This is the tunnel that the army will pass through. You just dig a hole and bury it when you poop and urinate. It's like this. How will you behave when the subsequent army passes through?"

The two maternity care team soldiers and the surrendered army officer walking in front were smiling with their faces. The Jurchens following behind didn't think there was anything strange at first, but when they reached the tunnel entrance, they realized that the air in front was very clear.

Logically speaking, they should still be underground at this time, so they immediately became vigilant.

The translator asked behind him what was going on. The two soldiers ran forward quickly. The surrendering officer also threw away his torch and ran away.

The three of them rushed out of the tunnel and climbed up to the entrance of the cave in two or three steps as quickly as possible. At the same time, the soldiers of the birth care team at the entrance of the cave threw the torch inside.

The entrance to the cave has long been filled with gunpowder. Many of the piles of excrement that the Jurchens thought were actually gunpowder barrels dug into the earth. When they saw the fire in front of them, the Jurchens in the tunnel had no chance to retreat. They were buried all the way in the tunnel. Killing many ten thousand enemies, there was a sudden explosion, and the land near the entrance of the cave collapsed directly.

Wanyan Zongwang, who was waiting outside the city, suddenly heard a violent explosion in the city and felt bad.

Soon after, I saw a puff of smoke coming from the entrance of the tunnel.

He quickly sent Jurchens down to check.

"Marshal, the tunnel was collapsed by the bombing. We are only halfway through and it is already impossible to walk through. More than 100 soldiers are buried inside, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead."

Wanyan Zongwang was so angry that he cursed. At this time, he still didn't understand. The Han people must have surrendered to the supervisory committee in the city. This was his most elite hundred-man team!

Looking at the tall Gaoyi City wall in the distance, Wanyan Zongwang really wanted to fly over the wall and eat alive the defenders inside.

It's really surprising that a county town with a population of over 2 people could not even be defeated by tens of thousands of troops surrounded by it, and it became more and more courageous as it fought.

"Report!"

Wanyan Zongwang asked: "What's the news again?"

"The protection army is attacking Luan City!"

"what?"
