Water Margin farming to become powerful

A few days later, the Jurchens suddenly regretted not withdrawing. This was not too surprising to Sun Xin and others, but it made Zhao Ji unable to sit still.

He originally thought that there was nothing wrong with the Jurchens fighting against the Supervisory Committee in Zhending Mansion, but Wanyan Zonghan of the West Road also began to regret it, and then directly took back several state capitals that the Song Dynasty had already recovered, and the Song Dynasty's The officers and soldiers were as incompetent as ever.

These state capitals that the Song Dynasty had just taken back from the Jurchens had already been looted by the Jurchens, and even the local officials had not replenished them. How could they stand in the face of the Jurchens' army?
Almost as soon as the Jurchens arrived at the city, the city pretended to resist, and most of them would surrender within three days.

Zhao Ji saw that the land he had spent more than 1000 million yuan to buy was taken back by the Jurchens in less than half a month, and he had no place to return the money.

Zhao Ji wanted to cry, but he did not dare to send troops to attack the Jurchens. He was frightened by the Jurchens' attack and even called on King Qin's army to support Kaifeng.

Zhao Ji completely gave up on the frontal battlefield and only waited to stick to the wait staff. However, the situation before the Supervisory Committee at this time was that the Jurchens were wandering to Shaanxi in the west and wandering around Zhongshan in the east. They were in the middle of a pincer attack from North China, the base area and Shandong. .

At this time, the entire Yongji Canal has been classified by the Supervisory Committee. The Jurchens are no match for the Supervisory Committee's naval forces. The Supervisory Committee can easily control the canal and allocate resources very easily.

In this case, what the Jurchens did in Zhongshan Yiyi in Zhending Mansion was nothing more than desperate resistance.

Sun Xin decisively decided to protect the troops and march into Hebei to fight, first eating up Wanyan Zongwang in the east, and then stabilizing the west.

……

At the end of September, Hebei West Road, Wuma Mountain.

This is one of the branches of the Taihang Mountains. Because of the high mountains and dense forests, there was no way to carefully clear out the forces in the mountains when the Jurchens invaded south. A large number of rebels hid in the Wuma Mountain area and continued to fight against the Jurchens.

Originally, when the Jurchens retreated south, these people were about to come out of the mountains and prepare to accept the Zhending Mansion. Unexpectedly, the Jurchens suddenly changed their minds, and the anti-Jin rebels in Wuma Mountain were instantly pushed to the front line.

The leader of the Wuma Mountain rebels was named Ma Kuo. It was said that he had met Sun Xin. He had previously sailed from Dengzhou to sign a maritime alliance, and even participated in the talks to recover Yanshan and Yelu Dashi.

This guy was definitely considered a Yuan general in the Song Dynasty, but it was a pity that the Song army was too weak to fight. When the Jurchens invaded the south, he was originally on business in Liao, but he fled south in a hurry.

Ma Kuo's escape to the south was not as fast as the Song Dynasty's defeat. He also had a sense of loyalty, so he gritted his teeth and stayed in the Taihang Mountains, hiding directly in the mountains to fight guerrillas with the Jurchens.

The Wuma Mountain Rebel Army commanded by Ma Kuo could no longer be described as a faction. The main force resisting the Jurchens here was Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee. After years of underground infiltration, all the Song army fled, but the supervisory committee's armed forces still remained.

In order to resist the Jurchens, Ma Kuo had no choice but to join forces with the Supervisory Committee. When the Jurchens stayed in Zhending and refused to leave, the strongest combat force under his command was the armed forces of the Supervisory Committee.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was far away, and Ma Kuo had only two options: either go west to Taiyuan to follow Zongze, or simply surrender to the Supervisory Committee.

Ma Kuo was a little confused at first, but when the Jurchens attacked Wuma Mountain and the cadres of the Supervisory Committee also came to Wuma Mountain for support, Ma Kuo quickly made a decision.

Now he is wearing a red scarf on his arm and has become the captain of the Wumashan Maternity Nursing Team of the Supervisory Committee.

The three thousand Jurchens who came out of Zhending Mansion were attacking the pass of Wuma Mountain.The Wumashan Rebels defending the pass only had three delivery teams with more than 1000 people.

"Boom boom boom."

Thousands of enemies were constantly dropped on the mountain, and the Jurchen captains who entered the mountain to attack were beaten into confusion.

The reason why the Jurchens wanted to attack Wuma Mountain was also very simple, which was to gain control of the Taihang Mountains through this place.

The Jurchens are not stupid either. They know that the east side is completely the territory of the Supervisory Committee. If Hejian Mansion does not have follow-up support, they may be captured by the protection army in the blink of an eye.

But there is still a way to survive by fighting to the west. They plan to cross the Taihang Mountains to Hedong Road to seize Zongze's territory.

Taiyuan Prefecture has strong mountains and rivers. If the Jurchens can seize Daizhou and control the Great Wall further north, with Wanyan Zongwang's military strength, they have a chance to slowly fight a war of attrition with the Supervisory Council.

And Wuma Mountain is the largest pass from Zhending to Taihang Mountain. If the Jurchens don't take it, they will lose it.They went west to protect the Baobao Army and the birth protection team from Wuma Mountain. They could come out at any time to cut off the road from Zhending to Yangquan.

The Jurchens wanted to quickly capture Wuma Mountain before the Shandong army arrived, but they did not expect that after five days of continuous attack, the Jurchens had several times the strength advantage and could not defeat this group of resistance composed of the defeated Song Dynasty army and the Supervisory Council militia. Armed.

What the Jurchen captain couldn't figure out was where the people on the mountain could throw away so many explosive packets. He was a little scared when he saw the rolling logs and rocks pushed down the mountain. Since the Supervisory Committee took over the defense of Wuma Mountain, it came directly from Dengzhou A group of talents for making gunpowder were sent. Taihang Mountain was a vast area, and there were many people from the Song Dynasty who came here to seek shelter on Wuma Mountain. After several supervisory committees were established, it didn't take long for the gunpowder workshop to be established.

The first batch of things that were produced were this kind of enemies.

This thing was developed by the Supervisory Council University. The method of making it is to first bake a clay bottle, then stuff the gunpowder fuse and the gravel used to make fragments into it. When using it, light the fuse and push the thing down. leave.

In order to prevent the pottery bottle from breaking when it falls, if possible, add a circle around the outside of the bottle, a cover made of cotton and linen fabric or vines for protection.

The main one is low cost and effective.

There were enough people on Wuma Mountain, and Ma Kuo was also far-sighted. After cooperating with the maternity care team of the Supervisory Committee, he realized that the muskets of the maternity care team were powerful weapons for killing enemies, so he started hoarding gunpowder as early as half a year ago.

All these things were used by the arriving supervision team and they pulled out three production lines with tens of thousands of enemies. The front was used and the rear was used for production. The production lines were almost placed behind the defenders, and the warehouses were filled with products. The defenders were just throwing money down like this without even using up the already established production capacity.

This thing gave the Jurchen Centurion a headache. After more than ten days of grinding, he now clearly understood that the things thrown by the maternity team from the mountain were not the stupid things used by the Song Dynasty defenders to defend the city. These jars contained Of gunpowder.

Moreover, the technology of making gunpowder on Wuma Mountain is still a bit advanced, and it is not known how long it will take for the tens of thousands of enemies pushed down to detonate.

Sometimes if you are lucky, the explosion will occur halfway up the mountain, and it will fall on the head of the Jurchens, only to break your face. Sometimes you will feel that the explosion has not occurred for a long time in front of the army, but is just smoking in the muffled place. This is the Jurchen The most frightening thing was that I sent warriors several times to pull out the lead. As a result, not long after the lead was pulled out, the clay bottle exploded, and the flying debris directly beat the people around it to pieces.

The Jurchen commanders all wished that the gunpowder craftsmen on Wuma Mountain could be better at their craftsmanship and not create such things that sometimes explode but don't explode to mess with people's mentality. (End of chapter)
