Chapter 349 0346 [Do you dare to lie about military information? 】

Nigu Haikou was under the jurisdiction of Zhigu Village, which was later known as Tianjin.

During the reign of Renzong, Nigu Haikou was the mouth of the Yellow River.

Its Haikou river is more than 500 meters wide and more than 20 meters deep.

With the change of course of the Yellow River, Nigu Haikou is no longer what it once was, but relying on its former glory, a large number of fishermen have been attracted to settle near Haikou, forming several villages with thousands of people.

Haikou has abundant fisheries. You don’t need to risk your life by traveling too far to catch fish. You only need to cast a net in the sea near the estuary to feed a family.

After the Jin people went south, many people in various villages in Haikou fled.

But there are still a handful of people left behind.

It's not that they don't want to escape, but that there is no food left at home. If there is no catch in a day, the whole family will be hungry.

It's better to stay than to starve to death on the way out.

Even if the Jin men come, they may not necessarily kill them all.

Rumble!

Hundreds of cavalry galloped in, followed by 12,000 newly surrendered Song troops and civilians.

This sudden scene frightened the villagers near Haikou.

An old man was elected by the villagers. He walked over cautiously and asked cautiously: "I wonder which army the military master is from?"

Liu Qi replied: "A certain family is the Qingzhou Army, you don't need to worry."

"Since we are from the Qingzhou Army, I naturally don't have to worry."

The old man had a smile on his face and was full of flattery.

In fact, not only did he know what the Qingzhou Army was, he also didn't believe a word of Liu Qi's words.

But when people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. He still understands this truth.

Looking around, Liu Qi asked: "Where is the pier?"

The old man answered truthfully: "In the southeast, about one mile."

Liu Qi ordered: "Take me to have a look."

Hearing this, the old man complained in his heart, but he did not dare to refuse, so he had to lead Liu Qi and others to the dock.

Looking at the dock, Liu Qi immediately frowned.

The pier was shabby and crude. It was less than three meters long and was paved with a thin layer of wooden boards. It creaked when you stepped on it and seemed to break at any time.

By then, heavy supplies of grain and grass would arrive, and it would be inconvenient to unload them.

Must be rebuilt.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi took out a handful of copper coins from his wallet and threw it over: "As a reward, go back and tell the villagers that if there are people who can do carpentry, they can come and work, and they will be paid twenty cents a day."

"Thank you, Master Jun, for the reward!"

The old man took the copper coin with surprise on his face and no fear in his heart.

After returning, Liu Qi immediately ordered the soldiers to camp and directed the civilians to expand the dock.

In just two days, the dock was completely renovated thanks to the efforts of more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians.

Even the small dirt path from the village to the dock has been renovated, widened several times, and smoother.

April twenty-fifth.

Haikou was extremely noisy in the early morning, and many people rushed to the pier, marveling at the scene.

"This boat is so big."

"Hiss! I'm afraid it's thirty or forty feet long."

"If you take this boat out to sea, you can catch even giant whales."

"This is the first time in my life that I have seen this."

I saw a fleet galloping over the sea in the distance.

One of them is particularly eye-catching, being almost several times larger than the three frigates.

In this era when cargo ships are generally only thirty or forty meters long, the Shenzhou battleship is undoubtedly shocking.

When it was originally bound for Goryeo, it attracted the people of Goryeo to watch and marvel at it.

After the transformation of this Shenzhou of the Shandong Navy, many flashy decorations were abandoned and more military equipment was added, making it less elegant and more domineering.

"Everyone spread out!"

At this moment, Liu Qi came with his troops.

Seeing this scene, the villagers immediately dispersed and moved to another place to continue watching the fun.

Although these Qiu Ba did not harass them in the past two days, the villagers still felt that Qiu Ba was not a good person from the bottom of their hearts.

They had no choice but to be frightened by Song Junhuo from Sannu, Shuanggang and other villages.

"anchor!"

When they were one mile away from the dock, Kuang Zixin ordered the warship to drop its anchor.

This was to prevent the pirates from giving up and retaliate, or from a sudden attack by the Jin Army Navy.

Although the probability is slim, be careful and sail the ship for ten thousand years.

After ordering the Shenzhou battleship group to stay on alert, a small boat was put down on the battleship. Kuang Zixin took several navy soldiers and went down the cable to the small boat. He led a dozen cargo ships behind him, loaded with food and baggage, to go straight to the dock. go.

After getting to the dock, Kuang Zixin cupped his fists and said: "Kuang Zixin has seen Liu Dutong, 120,000 stones of grain and grass, 100 field guns, 30 siege guns, plus 30,000 firearms, not one missing, all delivered .”

"it is good!"

Liu Qi nodded, with excitement in his eyes.

After calling the cargo ship to start unloading, Kuang Zixin asked, "I wonder if the county magistrate has any instructions?"

Liu Qi replied: "The county magistrate ordered you to return to the sea immediately and destroy the pirates in the Yellow Sea."

"The last general takes command!"

Kuang Zixin responded.

With the joint efforts of civilians and Song troops, bags of grain and grass were moved onto the dock, then stacked on oxcarts, and escorted by cavalry, transported to Tianjiazhai.

……

Tianjiazhai.

Han Zhen said with joy on his face: "Liu Qi just sent someone to convey the news that the navy arrived at Nigu Haikou one day ahead of schedule, and the food, grass and baggage have arrived."

Hearing this, Lao Jiu looked happy and said with a smile: "It's finally our turn to counterattack!"

"Reinforcements are coming from the sea?" Yue Fei on the side asked puzzledly.

He had a strong physique and had three or four holes in his body. After two days of training, he looked like a normal person.

Han Zhen shook his head: "There are no reinforcements."

"Then how to counterattack?"

The confusion on Yue Fei's face became even worse.

In his opinion, it is already good enough that 30,000 people can withstand more than 100,000 Jin troops and stop the Jin army from moving south.

After all, the troops are limited. Even if the Jin army in Yongqing is defeated, the main force of the Jin army is still there, with more than 70,000 people.

Even though they were fearless in field battles, once the Jin people retreated to Yanjing, they had nothing to do against the Jin army.

Is it possible that he still wants to use 30,000 men to attack the city garrisoned by 70,000 Jin troops?

Han Zhen said slightly mysteriously: "You will know in a few days."

Firearms and artillery cannot be explained clearly to someone who has never seen them.

Yue Fei nodded and said no more, but he became more and more curious.

What is it about the ordnance and baggage that makes the county magistrate and the others so confident?

Han Zhen ordered: "Lao Jiu, send a scout to Suicheng and inform Nie Dong to lead 10,000 infantry and go north immediately. He must arrive at Fangshan within five days to block the Jin army's retreat."

"Order!"

Lao Jiu answered with cupped fists, then turned and left.

After the explanation, Han Zhen's eyes fell on Yue Fei and warned: "Your injury has not healed, so you can rest in peace in Tianjiazhai."

When he heard that he was asked to recuperate in the rear, Yue Fei immediately gave up and said loudly: "County Magistrate, it's just a minor injury. The general is fine now."

As he spoke, he knocked twice hard on his chest, making a dull sound.

It's not that he was trying to be brave, but the wounds on his body were so bruised that it looked like a bluff. In fact, he didn't hurt his heart, it was just a superficial wound.

Seeing his rosy complexion and loud voice, Han Zhen said helplessly: "In that case, then you can go with us."

"Thank you, County Magistrate!"

Yue Fei was overjoyed.

……

……

Rongcheng.

In the Jin Army camp five miles away.

"Wu Shu is dead?"

Listening to the report from Mou Ke who had fled, Wanyan Zongwang's face was full of disbelief.

"Yes."

Namouke swallowed, feeling uneasy.

Wanyan Zongwang has a plump face like a Buddha, has always been compassionate and kind-hearted, and is generous to his subordinates. Therefore, he is known as the Bodhisattva Prince among the Jin Army.

This is also the reason why he was able to win over a large number of surrendered generals from the Liao and Song Dynasties.

But as the Muke of the Wanyan tribe, he knew very well that this was just an appearance.

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang was even more cruel than Lou Shi and others.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the anger and violence in his heart, Wanyan Zongwang asked with a gloomy face: "Why was the thirty thousand army defeated, and who killed Wu Shu?"

Na Mouke answered truthfully: "This man's name is Han Zhen, he is good at using an iron spear, and he has the courage that ten thousand people cannot match. He first defeated the fierce An Alubu at Sannvzhai, and then defeated Han Chang's Han'er army. When Wu Shu led his army to attack Tianjiazhai, he led a surprise attack with three thousand cavalry, and then one man single-handedly penetrated the military formation..."

"nonsense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud shout was heard from the tent.

I saw Wanyan Loushi angrily yelling: "How dare you lie about the military situation, drag me out and behead you!"

Wanyan Zongwang remained silent. Although he was dissatisfied with Wanyan Lou's room, he also felt that this person was talking nonsense.

Hearing this, Muke immediately panicked and hurriedly swore to the sky: "I swear to Abaha that I will never tell a lie."

The Jurchens believe in shamanism and have deep faith, and Abaha is the supreme god in shamanism.

These words made Wanyan Zongwang and others stunned.

The other party dared to swear to Abaha, so they couldn't help but not believe it.

Liu Yanzong, who had been silent all this time, said: "I have heard about Han Zhen's reputation for bravery. At the beginning of last year, he led 20,000 Shandong thieves and defeated a hundred thousand Western troops. The Song army under my command surrendered. There are also many rumors.”

Wanyan Zongwang and others were shocked and confused. The other party led 3,000 cavalry and defeated Wushu's 20,000 troops. They did not find it strange because they had done it before.

The Jin people started to attack the Liao Dynasty, and every time they did not attack the large number with a small number.

But to single-handedly penetrate the military formation is outrageous.

For a moment, there was silence in the military tent.

The originally invincible Jin army suffered successive setbacks during this period, which made Wanyan Zongwang feel irritable.

First, they could not capture Rongcheng for a long time, and then they heard that Yongqing's 30,000-strong army was defeated miserably.

Especially the news of the death of the fourth brother Wu Shu added fuel to the fire.

Trying to restrain his desire to kill, Wanyan Zongwang took the lead in breaking the silence and asked in a deep voice: "How many people are under Han Zhen's command?"

Mou Ke replied: "At most five or six thousand people."

"Give me 10,000 people, and I'll kill the Korean thief!"

Wanyan Loushi's voice was cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

His son Mouyan was killed by the Han thief himself, and he took the initiative to mobilize the army from the east route for revenge.

Now that the Korean thief is right in front of him, how can he bear it?

Wanyan Zongwang objected: "Don't be impulsive. Rongcheng is the key right now. If we capture Rongcheng, the land of Hebei will be at our disposal. If we want to take revenge, there will be plenty of opportunities!"

Wanyan Loushi snorted and remained silent, acquiescing to the other party's arrangement.

"We can't delay it any longer. We need to capture Rongcheng as soon as possible before the Shandong bandit reinforcements arrive." Wanyan Mu suggested.

"Yes."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and ordered: "Gather your troops to prepare for war and attack the city the next day. We must capture Rongcheng within three days!"

"Yes!"

Liu Yanzong, Wanyan Loushi and others all clasped their fists in response.
