Chapter 381 This is a fishing fort!

Of course, there is no need to have an additional 720 cannons, and there is no need to repair all 10 bastions. Maybe only one needs to be repaired, which is enough to let the Jin thieves know that they are powerful.

Although the sack is cheap and good, it is a good thing for the nemesis of the Tartars and the symbol of colonialism!

But this kind of good thing has never appeared in the past. If you haven’t seen it, you don’t know how powerful it is. Of course, you are curious if you don’t know how powerful it is. If you are curious, you want to try it.

The Tartars are also curious!

And curiosity will kill the Tartars!

"Hey, why are you so short? And you don't have a wall of sheep and horses, no forks, and no nun's head wall to build a few pointed mounds. What's the use?"

One day in late August, a bastion appeared on both sides of the Yang River on the east side of Jieshi Mountain. This is a six-sided twelve-angle bastion standing between the Yang River. It can also be seen as two four-sided hexagonal bastions connected by floating bridges.

No matter how you calculate it, this or two bastions are all broken goods that cut corners in Wanyan Xibao's eyes. Building such a fortress is simply looking down on the attack ability of the Great Jin Tianshang!

"Hey, it's just a fortress that took 10,000 or 20,000 people to work for two days. How strong do you expect it to be?"

Wanyan Zongbi also built a pergola, standing on the stirrups, observing this castle from a distance.

Like Wanyan Xiebao, he was also a curious Tartar. He heard that after the Song army withdrew, he left a fortress that cut corners, so he led hundreds of kidnapped horses and Wanyan Xiebao to "see the fortress".

Although this Song army fortress was not well built, it was also very powerful when it was built, and an army of 60,000 to 70,000 people were dispatched!

The 60,000 army was led by the general Yue Fei personally and opened from the camp at the foot of Jieshi Mountain. Moreover, the cavalry and cannons were all working together, as if they were going to fight to the death with the Jin thieves.

The news came back to Shanhaikou, but Wanyan Zong, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongfu, and Wanyan Xiebao were shocked and thought that the Song army had come. He quickly ordered the army of 80,000, bringing 500 camels with eight-two tubes and dozens of 10-kilogram "giant tubes", and also rushed to the east bank of the Yang River.

However, they did not push forward to fight, but instead dug trenches and set up villages based on Yuguan Castle and Yanghesai (also a fortress), and acted like fighting positions.

They were not so stupid as to fight a dignified formation with the Song army. Although they already had 500 eight-two barrels, the firepower of the eight-two barrels was incomparable to the 5-two barrels and 10-two barrels of the Song army.

Moreover, the Jin people have not yet figured out how the granulated black gunpowder was made?

So they are not big enough to see the dignified formation. Fortunately, the Jin people also have "good time, place and people" and can fight a defensive counterattack from Yuguan to Shanhaikou with the advantage of the location and the ability to fight a defensive counterattack.

But Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiebao did not expect that before their trenches and wooden fences were completed, the 60,000 to 70,000 Song troops there retreated.

However, it did not remove it completely, but left behind this very loose-looking Jiahe Fort, standing alone on both sides of the Yang River, more than 20 miles away from Jieshi Mountain.

But just such a fortress that cut corners, placed more than 20 miles away from the Song army camp, wouldn’t you be afraid of being swallowed by the Great Jin Tianshang?

Wanyan Zongbi had already sat back on the saddle, turned his head and asked Wanyan Xibao, "Xibao, how about you looking at this short squat castle? Can you defeat it?"

Wanyan Xibao shook his head, "I really can't understand. I'm so short and have not been installed yet. At most, I can only put a few cannons on it and I can't Zhao Kai thinks that it can be defended by just a few cannons?"

Wanyan Zongbi snorted: "Can we defend against it? We will know if we can fight it? The Song army's camp is more than 20 miles away. As long as we stop the support, we will have at least a whole day to use it! If we can pull out this fortress, our momentum will rise."

Wanyan Xiebao narrowed his eyes and observed for a while, "Give me three days to prepare equipment and then send troops to you three days, and send troops to you at night and siege the city at night!"

Wanyan Zongbi nodded, "Okay, you are responsible for siege! Come and help me, please use all the five hundred camel tubes!"

"Okay!" Wanyan Xiebao smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, these five hundred camel tubes cannot be placed in front of the formation from the beginning. You have to hold them all in your hands and let them go wherever you need them.

In addition, these camel tubes are also afraid of big tubes, so they have to avoid Song Jun's tube team!"

"I know, I know," Wanyan Zongbi smiled, "I can't ruin your baby camel tube!"

Camel tubes are actually not very expensive, and one can consume 180 kilograms of copper on average (if it is cooked in the future, you can get it within 150 kilograms!), 500 kilograms of copper is 90,000 kilograms of copper, which is almost 30,000 kilograms of copper.

Not to mention the Great Jin Kingdom, it is not a problem to let Wanyan protect himself from paying the money!

The problem is that Camel Tube is now in its first battle. If it cannot be fought well, it will be a waste of effort.

If Wanyan Xibao is ready, he will plan to build two or three thousand of them in one breath. In the future, they will rely on them to show their power.

The two discussed and stopped working. When they returned, they summoned their staff and quickly formulated a strategy to surround the site to attack and assist, and then reported it to Wanyan Zonggan in Shanhaikou.

When Wanyan Zonggan received the report, he met Wanyan Zongpan, who had just come from Lin'an Prefecture to pass through Goryeo in Haiyang City.

Wanyan Zongpan was slapping Wanyan Zong's chest at that time!

"Oben, don't worry, the official family of Lin'an Prefecture is nominally Zhao Gou, but my sister is the one who makes the decisions about military and national affairs. Zhao Gou can also make an idea about the trivial matters of reigning the Lin'an Prefecture in Pizhou, and the opening of sects and sesame as small matters such as sesame and trivial matters. So as long as our soldiers can float into Jingdong, Zhao Gou's 300,000 troops in Lin'an will all be under our command!"

Of course, Zhao Gou's Lin'an court did not have an army of 300,000, who would pay them a salary? However, under the command of the four generals including Li Cheng, Liu Lin, Kong Yanzhou, and Wang Bolong, a general from the Liaodong Han army, he could still recruit 150,000 or 60,000 troops. However, three of these four generals did not listen to Zhao Gou, but regarded Wanyan Yan as his master, and only Liu Lin and Zhao Gou were closer.

"It's not a trivial matter to open a cadet and win a scholar!" Wanyan Zonggan whispered, "But it's nothing to leave this matter to Zhao Gou for the time being. Now our Jin Dynasty is satisfied with only the situation of the Liao Dynasty. It's better for Zhao Gou to be the emperor of the Central Plains.

By the way, I heard that Zhao Gou was injured in the Battle of Black Mountain. Is it better now?"

"Ah, this" Wanyan Zongpan glared at Wanyan Zong and said to himself: Why don't you pick up any pot?

Just when they were embarrassed, a personal soldier's voice came from outside the door: "Report to Deputy Marshal Zuo, Deputy Wanhu of Beijing Road, Hezha Meng'an, Wanyan Huo's daughter is asking for a visit."

Wanyan Huo’s daughter is the son of Wanyan Loushi. Now she is following Wanyan Zonghan. Wanyan Xibao and his father and son are actually following the Xibao. There are benefits to following the Xibao. Persian horses, ocean horses, etc.!

Moreover, Wanyan Huo's daughter was also very tickled by Wanyan Xibao's plan to move westward. Xibao became a Roman official, and he might be able to make a crack in the territory?

It is said that Rome was a big empire, and there were many small states below!

"Xuan, come in quickly."

Wanyan Zonggan knew that the working girl came for military affairs, so he immediately let the Wanyan Huo girl join in.

Wanyan Huo's daughter was sent by Wanyan Zongbi. Wanyan Xiebao came to Haiyang County to inform Zonggan of the combat strategy and requested troops.

"A ragged fortress? There will be no fraud, right?"

Wanyan Zong heard Wanyan’s work woman introduce the situation on the front line and immediately became suspicious.

Wanyan Huo's woman smiled and said, "So what if there is a fraud? This fortress is more than 20 miles away from the Song army's camp in Jieshi Mountain, and there are also our city blocks and floating bridges on the Yang River. We can move forward and retreat freely. If the troops crossing the river to attack the aid are unable to win, it will be retracted back to the Yang River block. There is no big deal.

As for that broken castle, it should be easy to beat."

Wanyan Zongpan smiled and said, "When you fight, you can also test the reality of the Song army, so that we can open our eyes! Maybe we will have to lead the troops to Kaifeng Prefecture in a few months!"

If the Great Jin Kingdom really wants to send troops on the sea and join forces with Zhao Gou to open the seal, Wanyan Zongpan will be of course the head coach!

So Zong Pan is very enthusiastic about this matter!

"Okay!" Wanyan Zonggan finally made up his mind, "Pu Hu, let's go together to see how the camel tubes in Xibao dealt with the Song army!"

"Report"

With the elongated "report", Dong Jingang's brother Dong Luohan quickly walked into the main hall set up by Zhao Kai in Shuiyan Temple.

Although Dong Luohan is a brother of Dong Jingang, his skills in fighting are incomparable. Dong Jingang is the best in the three armies, and has grown up with Zhao Kai over the years and has mastered the tricks of collaborative combat between cannons, storms, cavalry and workers. Although he is not as good as the three handsome men, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Li Xiaozhong, his ability to command an army to rush fiercely is one of the best, namely Li Shifu, Wu Jie, Liu Qi, and Niu Gao, who can compare with him, is the Five Tiger Generals under Zhao Kai.

Dong Luohan died of death and was a "guard gate", so after he defected to Zhao Kai, he became a Xuanzan Sect.

When Dong Luohan came to report, Zhao Kai was frowning and looking at his sister-in-law Zhu Lian's handwritten letter since Zhao Gou put on a yellow robe, the correspondence between Zhao Kai and Zhu Lian's letters have resumed.

In this letter, Zhu Lian told Zhao Kai that Zhao Gou had sent a secret envoy to Jinling a few days ago and told Zhao Huan that he was ill and could not have a son. The prince Zhao Shanzhen was a wild breeder. He was now planning to eliminate the "demon queen" Wanyan Yan, and then he would submit his post to Zhao Huan. He would be satisfied with being the King of Qi, and would also pass the position of King of Qi to Zhao Huan's son. The condition was that Zhao Huan and him would join forces to deal with Zhao Kai!

Haha, this Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan are really good brothers!

Zhao Kai put down the letter and looked up at Dong Luohan, "Arhat, what's the matter?"

"Officials, the Jin thieves have sent troops! And they have sent troops in large quantities!"
