Chapter 374: Joining the Army - Become the King of the Mountain
Lieutenant Zhang found it strange that grain harvesting was the top secret of the army. After being attacked by a surprise attack, it would usually be heavily guarded or the place would be changed. This golden soldier was too bold to care about food and not fight. In fact, this internal self-defense
There is a reason. Dashan Pass is the border pass of the Song Dynasty. Both sides need to station a large number of soldiers here. After decades of peace between the two countries, the Jin general stationed in Dashan City came up with the idea of taking advantage of the money and reached out for military rations.
, this warehouse was his small treasury, and the Jin Dynasty court did not know it. He did not dare to report to the court that the place where the grain was stored was burned. This time the army went to war, he was heartbroken about the previous loss, and wanted to get it back, and collect the grain.
The construction of the warehouse cost a lot of money. He thought, if he slightly renovated the existing one, wouldn't the money saved go into his pocket without anyone noticing? In this way, the old warehouse once again became a grain storage center for the army.
land.
The team was divided into two teams. The ten-man team returned to Dashanguan to report the good news to General Wu. The other ninety people put on their golden soldiers' armor and quickly marched to the grain garrison. Because they were familiar with the roads, they rushed in less than three days.
Arrive at the granary. After arriving at the location, they reported that the attacking army needed food. This was the rear area of the Jin soldiers. The soldiers guarding the stronghold did not expect that Song soldiers would come. The Jin soldiers who made the sneak attack just entered the mountain from here a few days ago.
, it was reasonable to need dry food now. So, they opened the gate of the village, shouted loudly, and rushed in. They chopped down people they saw and set fire everywhere. Soon, the grain depot was ablaze.
"Burning the Granary"
On the way back, I saw a granary,
Why?
The golden soldier remembers eating but not fighting,
He also renovated the old granary.
The strong man used fire attack strategy again,
The fierce flames swallowed up the food and grass again.
The source of this is empty wages,
causing damage to the country's affairs.
Because they wore the clothes of the Jin soldiers and were full of smoke, it was difficult for the Jin soldiers to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. In addition, there were countless Song soldiers who came, and the garrisoned Jin soldiers were in chaos. They were scurrying around in the granary like headless flies and could not be organized.
Effective resistance.
According to the military law of the Jin Dynasty, if the army's granaries were lost and burned, all the Jin soldiers guarding them would be punished by death. The original intention was to establish prestige and make the soldiers guarding the grains fear themselves and do their duty. After seeing multiple granaries on fire, they guarded the granaries.
Because the Jin soldiers were afraid of being punished by military law, they no longer fought with the Song soldiers. Instead, they dispersed, took off their armor and fled for their lives as civilians.
Some people wonder that the Jin soldiers are so incompetent? Since the Jin soldiers occupied many territories in the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the expansion of the territory and the small Jurchen population, there was a serious shortage of soldiers. Therefore, many Han people were recruited as soldiers. At the same time, because their culture lagged behind the
The Han people have also begun to adopt Chineseization in many bureaucracies. The combat effectiveness of the Jurchen cavalry is still online, and the infantry guarding the granaries are mostly Han. They have been discriminated against by them for many years and will not fight for them.
The guest of the B&B this time was a local business person in Xianju. After hearing this, he praised: "I didn't expect that the people in my hometown were so famous on the frontier in the Song Dynasty. I was so surprised. We just caught a few bass in the reservoir and gave it a try."
"
Jin Huabin agreed, took the fish to the kitchen, and ordered a large basin of bad fish fillets. Most of the seabass is steamed, and they must have never tasted this cooking method.
"Drum and Flute Ling·Bad Fish Fillets"
Deboned and sliced seabass meat, add salt and pepper and stir. Stir evenly with egg white starch, black fungus, and blanch in boiling water until cooked.
Heat the oil in the pan, add the fish fillets, and fry until cooked through. Boil the marinated salt and sugar over low heat, thicken the gravy, and spread it in the basin for a beautiful color.
The fish fillets are starched with oil, and the fragrant grains wine is added to the seasoning. The taste is fresh and tender, and the aroma of the grains is rich. The guests are full of praises. The food and the story cannot be let down. Jin Huabin continued to preach: "Zhang Xiaowei suddenly missed a detail, the number
Thousands of troops were marching on the mountain road, stretching ten miles in front and back. They ordered the rear team to change to the front team. Colonel Zhang's estimated speed was derived from the rear team. When attacking the granary, the Jin soldiers' front team was not far from the granary, leading them
The general of the army was well versed in the art of war. He first sent people to cut off the retreat from Dashan Pass, and then organized a counterattack.
If I can't go back, what should I do? I can't defend the enemy with three thousand and less than one hundred. Captain Zhang immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat to Dashanling immediately. As long as they enter the deep mountains, they can rely on the hunter's instinct.
, should be able to escape the pursuit of the golden soldiers. Just like this, they chased while running. The golden soldiers participating in this operation were elite, skilled in bow and horse, and superb in arrow skills. Dozens of people behind them fought to the death and could not escape, and died in the hands of the enemy. Five
More than ten people escaped into the mountains. The enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is definitely not easy to fight head-on. Colonel Zhang remembered that when he was exploring the road, he found an abandoned small mountain village on the mountainside. It was more than 20 miles away from here, and there were other people around it.
Fields, you can go there to take shelter temporarily. As long as the weapons are not found, even if the Jin soldiers find them, they can still pretend to be villagers. The Jin soldiers' goal is Dasanguan. After searching for a few days without results, they will withdraw. Then we will think about it again.
way.
The guest laughed and said, "Isn't this a guerrilla attack by the Communist Party?"
"Exactly, in ancient times, bandits occupied the mountains and became kings. When officers and soldiers came, they ran all over the mountains. They were also the predecessor of guerrillas." Jin Huabin replied with a smile: "When the Jin soldiers just went south, there were once rebels in the north who occupied the mountains and became kings.
This is the method adopted. If you take a look at The Romance of the Yang Family, one of the protagonists, Mu Guiying, is the Mountain King. In the biography of Yue Quan, there are many mountain kings."
"Occupy the Mountain and Become King"
The way back is cut off, the camp is hard to return to,
Build a stronghold against a cliff.
For the time being, we retreat to Dasanling.
A mountain village was found in a dangerous place.
Set up camp and repair soldiers,
But I will report the country’s favor later.
Occupying a mountain behind enemy lines and becoming king,
My heart is always toward the court.
Lieutenant Zhang led the soldiers to the abandoned village, hid their weapons and armor, and put on peasant clothes. He sent out sentries to look out on the mountain. For a whole day, not a single golden soldier came. The sentries further expanded the scope.
, one day later, it was reported that the Jin soldiers searching the mountain had withdrawn to the camp.
After surveying the surrounding terrain, Zhang Xiaowei analyzed: "The terrain of this village is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After the farmland on the side is reclaimed, it can meet the needs of more than 200 people. We can transform this village.
Build a stronghold and occupy the mountain as king. In this way, you can advance when attacking and defend when retreating. At the same time, build another camp at a dangerous point in the back mountain and store more food. In case of a large-scale attack by the Jin soldiers, you can retreat to the back mountain.
Take shelter for now.”
Although we have this idea, we have to give it time. At present, the most important thing is to escape the pursuit of the Jin soldiers. The Jin soldiers' brigade retreats to camp, and they have to prevent them from leaving some troops to search the mountains. In order to prevent the sentry from making mistakes
Zhang Xiaowei himself took two people down the mountain to investigate, but he found out from the people that the Jin soldiers reported good news, set up an ambush in the mountain, and killed hundreds of Song soldiers who attacked. It turned out that the Jin soldiers were sent to the peak to investigate.
The story of the failed sneak attack is that after hearing the news that the Song army was about to attack, they sent troops to ambush. The Song soldiers were surrounded and then annihilated. A few remaining soldiers accidentally broke into the grain storage place and burned several granaries, but they were all hunted. The losses were revealed.
