Soon, seven or eight Jurchens were killed by Zhen Wuchen and his men.
Zhen Wuchen wiped the blood off his knife in the snow and said to Guo Yaoshi, "Most of the brothers don't have horses. We must find a way to get some war horses. Otherwise, we will be exhausted before we even reach Liaodong after such a long journey."
Pharmacist Guo said, "There must be a way out when you reach the mountain. This is not the place to talk. Let's walk and discuss."
A team of about a hundred people quietly bypassed the Jin army camp and headed straight north. Just after they walked four or five miles, they heard a loud explosion behind them.
When everyone looked back, they saw flames rising into the sky and explosions continuing from the Jin army camp.
Zhen Wuchen pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then said with some fear, "Fortunately, we didn't go to the Jurchen camp, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to escape this thunderclap."
Pharmacist Guo nodded. "Zhang Shixun's methods are indeed powerful. He actually has so many thunder bombs. It seems that my revenge cannot be avenged."
He raised his right hand, looked at the black iron hook, and sighed, "Let's go, first go to Qingcheng Village, quietly contact the resentful army brothers who are left there, and ask them to find a way to steal some horses."
This time, Guo Yaoshi only brought some of the resentful troops, and some remained in the Jin camp.
The Jin soldiers were used to being the boss, and they had to have the signed soldiers serving them. Besides, Wuliebu was also on guard against Guo Yaoshi, the fickle guy, and deliberately left 40% of the resentful army in Qingchengzhai. With these people in hand, he was not afraid of Guo Yaoshi having any bad intentions.
But he still underestimated Guo Yaoshi's servant of three surnames.
…
On a slope outside Zhang Xiaozhuang, Zhang Shixun and Wang Dong stood side by side, looking at the Jin army camp in the distance.
The unscrupulous cannons were still firing at the Jin army camp.
Explosions rang out one after another.
Wang Dong danced with joy and shouted, "Blast! Blast as hard as you can! Blast those bastards to death!"
Zhang Shixun glanced at him and said, "Old Wang, the bombing has been going on for more than ten minutes. Is it my turn to attack?"
"Don't worry! Fry it for a few more minutes."
Zhang Shixun frowned and said, "Let's keep some explosives. There are more Jin soldiers outside Kaifeng City."
"It's okay. There's plenty of explosives in the tunnel. It's enough."
Zhang Shixun looked back and saw thousands of Taihang Mountain cavalrymen at the foot of the slope.
They crossed the Yellow River last night and hid on the river bank.
Li Moulue climbed the slope in a few steps, rubbing his hands and asking, "Military Commander, the brothers are waiting anxiously. When will we...?"
Zhang Shixun glared at him and said, "Be patient. Once the Jin army is almost completely destroyed, then we can attack."
At this moment, Wang Dong suddenly shouted: "Shixun, look at the surveillance, Jin Jun is trying to escape."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shixun hurriedly looked at the virtual screen.
Judging from the real-time footage transmitted from the surveillance cameras in the sky, a large group of Jin troops were ruthlessly bombarded out of the barracks and fled in a disorderly manner towards Kaifeng City.
Zhang Shixun leaped onto his warhorse and raised his Fang Tian Hua Ji: "Brothers, follow me and kill the Golden Dog!"
As he said that, he rushed towards the Jin camp first.
Thousands of Taihang Mountain cavalrymen had been waiting anxiously. When they heard the order from their commander, they cheered, loosened their reins, and rushed forward following their commander.
When it comes to riding skills, these guys who came from the mountains are not even up to par. Most of them have never ridden a horse, let alone a donkey.
Ever since Zhang Shixun brought back a batch of military horses from Mutugang, Li Moulue forced them to practice riding. He also found a few captured soldiers with good riding skills to teach these guys how to ride and shoot.
Over the past six months, many military horses were injured, but they finally trained three thousand "cavalry".
To support Zhang Shixun this time, Li Moulue mobilized all his cavalry. It took a lot of effort to cross the Yellow River. Several ferries ran day and night, and finally all the cavalry were transported across the Yellow River.
After crossing the river, the Jin soldiers were besieging the two villages most fiercely. Zhang Shixun was reluctant to use these "cavalry" to fight the Jin soldiers head-on. The key point was that under the circumstances at the time, deploying a few thousand people was just a drop in the bucket and could not reverse the situation.
As early as a few days ago, Zhang Shixun and Wang Dong began planning to launch a feast of artillery fire against the tens of thousands of Jin troops in front of them, killing as many Jin soldiers as possible.
Hence, today’s wonderful show.
Dozens of unscrupulous cannons were pulled out of the tunnel and secretly placed a hundred steps away from the Jin army camp under the cover of night, with Rou Bai Gu personally present to adjust the angle.
Here, Zhang Shixun gave an order through the radio, and one explosive pack after another flew towards the Jin army camp.
In the Jin army camp, Nianhan has regained consciousness and is convening a meeting of all the imperial guards.
Yin Shuke was reporting the current battle situation to him. "We captured Gao Laozhuang first, and then we captured Zhang Xiaozhuang. Unfortunately, the Zhang Shixun brothers were as cunning as foxes. They took their men into a tunnel and sealed the entrance. They also deployed numerous thunder bombs in the village, which could easily get blown up by our soldiers if they weren't careful. To avoid further casualties, we stationed them on the streets."
Nianhan, half lying on a bed with his eyes half closed, wrapped in a thick fur coat, asked, "What happened to the explosion in the village just now?"
"According to my guess, it must be the thief Zhang who sent people to harass us."
"Guess?" Nianhan opened his eyes. "Didn't Pharmacist Guo send anyone back to report?"
"No."
"Send someone to Zhang Xiaozhuang to investigate the situation and question Pharmacist Guo about why he didn't report the military situation promptly."
"Someone has been sent."
Nianhan nodded and said fiercely, "After daybreak, even if we have to dig three feet deep, we must dig out the tunnel and capture Zhang Shixun and Wang Dong alive. Especially Wang Dong, he must be alive. I will peel off his skin and eat his flesh."
The torture suffered by Wang Dong must be returned to him double.
Physical torture is secondary; being captured by the enemy is the greatest shame.
As the first marshal captured by the enemy, he probably would not be able to continue as marshal after returning to the Jin Dynasty.
Jie Mu sat nearby and said sarcastically, "Marshal Nianhan, tell us what Zhang Shixun looks like. Is he, as the legend says, eight feet tall and with a waist ten feet wide?"
Nianhan rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Although Jiemu's official position was not as high as his, he was the eleventh son of Emperor Shizu Helibo and the half-brother of Emperor Taizu Wanyan Aguda, and had a respected status.
I can't afford to provoke him, and I dare not provoke him.
Before this, Jiemu had served as a general under Nianhan. He was arrogant and domineering, so Nianhan found a reason to get rid of him. Since then, the two had a grudge against each other.
"Marshal Nianhan, when I attacked Gao Laozhuang, that Wang Dong had people shouting on the ice city wall, saying that you were behaving strangely and liked to have sex with sows... hehe!"
Jie Mu was afraid that others might not understand her, so she made gestures while she spoke.
"Shut up!" Nianhan was really angry with Jiemu. He pointed at her nose and said, "Jiemu, I am the Marshal of the Western Route. How can you humiliate me in front of all the generals? What are you thinking?"
