The 240th swept north 4
Everyone knows that our Northeast is a treasure land, just say that coal and iron and other minerals are very rich, in the Liao Dynasty has opened a lot of mines, is an important source of Liao iron.
This later also became an important material basis for the Jin State to destroy the Liao State.
At this time, the Jin State had already concentrated its captive forces and prioritized the increase of several key mines that existed during the reign of Liao, and collected craftsmen to strengthen the scale of smelting.
Because the road conditions are too poor, many places are either dangerous forests infested by wild beasts or more terrible black bubbles that will shift and change with the influence of rain and rivers - swamp traps devoured by humans and beasts, the transportation conditions are too poor, the population is too small, and the technical conditions are not good, Jin Guo is really unable to repair the road from the mine to the town, and it is inconvenient to transport heavy iron ingots and copper ingots, rough embryos, etc., in order to save manpower and time and reduce trouble, Jin Guo has opened most of the deep processing workshops in the mine, so that craftsmen can smelt the metal into the required finished products on the spot, For example, weapons, such as fine gold and silver nuggets.
It is naturally much easier to transport these finished products back to the town or the capital, and where it is really inconvenient to pull them by car, they can be quickly moved back by horses and oxen.
In recent years, the war in the Jin Kingdom has been smooth, and the mine has been safe and sound, and the mining industry has increasingly shown the importance of supporting the foreign expansion of the Jin Kingdom.
Although the pirates will occasionally rob them, they will not go deep into the interior to fight with the fierce Jin army, let alone those heavy dead things that are inconvenient to retreat quickly.
Jin Guo had long heard of the power of pirates, and knew that Liao had been repeatedly violated by pirates, but they did not think so.
The Liao State can't get rid of pirates, and they are always wantonly looted, which is not good for the Liao army. The warriors of our Dajin Kingdom are brave and invincible, and they are not afraid of pirates.
Pirates dare to come and harm my Dajin country like they plague the Liao country?
Can't kill him.
Guaranteed to kill pirates with heavy casualties, once scared.
Pirates are pirates, playing with water, bullying and bullying the Liao people who have become cowardly and timid and dwarfed, and want to fight my eldest Jurchen Tiger Warrior on land?
Hmph, it's far from it. To dare to fight is to seek death.
Objectively speaking, Jin Jun is indeed qualified to be so confident.
That is the confidence that the glorious experience of winning more with less and always creating a miracle of war is hard to come by.
If there is no weapon generation, the same number of soldiers will be brave and fearless to death, and a well-trained pirate army may not be able to defeat the Jin army.
The Jurchens have struggled in many dangers since birth, and their lives are really fighting with the sky and the earth, fighting with people, and fighting almost everything. Even if the martial arts are high, there are many Jurchen warriors, and it may not be possible. The Jurchen's combat literacy and battlefield acumen are extremely high, as if they were born for war.
But, despite this, the Jin army was very wrong to underestimate the pirates.
The power of science and technology is far from being comparable to the powerful combat power of tigers and beasts.
In the Jurchen Qing Dynasty, tens of thousands of Mongolian brave cavalry desperately attacked, only three or two thousand armed with primitive muskets, but the Eight-Nation Coalition Army was almost wiped out, and the capital of the arrogant Qing Dynasty, which had a population of hundreds of millions, was occupied by a few thousand people of the small coalition army in Europe that was not as large as a province in China and whose population could not be compared with a few thousand people without a fight, which illustrates the problem.
Jurchen PK pirates, fighting barbarism is outdated.
The brave Jurchen tribe is no longer afraid of death, and they are doomed to defeat. Under Zhao Yue's deliberate plan to exterminate the clan, the Jin would lose even more than the Qing Dynasty established by their descendants.
The reality is that the arrogant Jurchens don't know that the era of science and technology has quietly and rapidly arrived, and they don't know that they are a race that has been eliminated by the era of leaps.
The Liao State, which was extremely powerful, was defeated again and again, and the Jin army thought that it was invincible in the world and already had the ambition to unify the world.
Naturally, they didn't know that the pirates did not go deep into the country to loot, nor did they rob the core areas and key areas, but they didn't dare or can't, but they didn't have the time. The Jin State could not be weakened prematurely, so as not to delay the Jurchen to clean up the Liao State. It is also that the Jin State has just established the country, and the family background is too thin, and the little wealth that was snatched from the Liao State is not rare for pirates to rob at all.
For example, this time, the pirates are killed, but it is still not rare to attack the Jurchen town to steal money or something.
The horse farm was robbed. The mine was looted. Manufactured weapons, refined finished gold, silver, copper, iron...... Robbed. Rough metal blanks and metal tools were also robbed. The artisans were robbed. Skilled mining technology and experienced miners were robbed. The best Han people who were snatched from the Liao and Bohai kingdoms, whether they were craftsmen or miners, were rescued. The pirates sneaked in at some point, and suddenly launched an attack all over the country, and they were quick to get out and evacuate, and they arrogantly looted cattle, sheep, and red deer along the way......
Except for the alien slaves who could only work as coolies, all other useful ones were robbed.
The pirate state is a foreign coolie to expend, and it is not uncommon to rob these dishonest slaves. There is a lot of space on the ship, and there are many ginseng medicinal materials, animal skins, cattle, sheep, red deer......
Wanyan Agu meditated in the capital, and was already extremely angry by the guerrilla warfare in full bloom of the Liao army, and was desperately trying to save it, when he suddenly heard the news again, and his brain was so buzzing that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage at the time of the blow.
was finally woken up, and after all, he was a terrifying hero, and as soon as his consciousness was sober, he immediately entered a state of coping.
He didn't understand: it didn't matter if a pirate could sneak in. It is nothing more than bullying the Jin country like the Liao army. But how could he get it so easily?
The horse farms and mines were not devoid of defense, but were manned and used to guard and supervise slaves and to escort finished products to the town.
Although these soldiers are the weakest of the Jurchen warriors, they are also brave and fierce and not afraid of death, and they are stronger than the Liao army in battle. Moreover, this time, in order to prevent the Liao army from being too bold and vicious, it also brazenly raided and destroyed these places, and dispatched some elites to further strengthen the defense. Although there were no famous generals in charge, and the smart generals and colonels were all sent to various places to intercept and kill and deter the Liao army, only these hundreds or even thousands of real Jurchen warriors were invincible with the familiar and favorable terrain of the horse farm and mine and the thousands of slaves who drove them to help in the war, at least they could not be easily attacked. For pirates, how can it be said that it is finished in the blink of an eye?
The Jurchens are worthy of being a fighting nation, and their response is swift, and even the people at the bottom know what the key point is, and they should quickly report what is clear to the top.
From the recent report from the disaster site, Aguta soon learned about the pirate's battle.
It turned out that in addition to the surprise attack that caused the garrison to be a little caught off guard but still a little caught off guard, and the number of pirates was also large, the real power of pirates was crossbow arrows and demon magic.
The solid stone barriers and defense systems built in the mines, if the Liao army attacked tens of thousands of people in a short period of time, could not be shaken, but it was useless against the sea pirates.
Pirates are not scary, but pirates who know how to practice demons are.
There was a roar of thunder in the sky, and the flesh and blood of the defending Jin army were blown away from afar, and the leaders of the generals in charge of the command were always blasted away first in the demonstrations and shouts. In the thunder and smoke of gunpowder, the simple stone gates may collapse. As soon as the defense gap opened, the pirates immediately roared and shouted to kill, no need for demon magic, changed the way, far away with crossbow arrows, two or three hundred steps or even three or four hundred steps away can penetrate the iron armor to kill people, not to mention that only the tattered leather armor can wear those Jurchen inferior soldiers guarding the mine and horse farm can resist, no matter how big and thick the wooden shield is, it will be shot through by the crossbow arrows, and the iron shield can still be shot through, and the people behind are shot away or even killed under the powerful impact, and the shield is not useful at all, and such a terrible crossbow arrow is very fast. This is no longer a blow that people can resist.
What's even more terrifying is that when they got close to dozens of steps, the pirates lit up their torches in broad daylight, and it turned out that they had changed into demon magic again.
I saw a black long guy flying over with smoke, and then there was a terrible explosion, although the demon thunder was much smaller than before, but it could still knock down several people.
Then there was the terrifying scream, and the shining knives swooped down like pieces of lightning.
The pirates are also very brave, and they have the same fierce fighting as the Jurchens, who are not afraid of death and bravely kill the enemy and fight for the battle, and all of them are not low in martial arts and are agile, only this is not something that the defenders of the mine and horse farm can deal with, and the pirates and the Jurchen army will automatically form a group of squads to fight and impact together in the melee.
The Jurchen army that has not died has a dead leader, there is no unified command, there is no backbone leader who can still stand under the blow of crossbow arrows and demon thunder, and take the lead in rushing and killing like he did against the Liao army, showing bravery and supporting his subordinates, and was shot and blown up to collapse, dizzy, crying and screaming, and some fled in terror; Some of them dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their mouths, praying for forgiveness and blessing from the gods, hoping that the gods of faith could manifest themselves to suppress these pirate demons, but unfortunately the gods just did not show their attention and ignored the believers' hasty but pious begging, and as a result, they were so frightened that they only cared about their beaks and trembled, and the timid and superstitious even collapsed to the ground and couldn't move.
In a mess, few of them could resist bravely, and some were chopped over by several knives in the blink of an eye, how could such a defender resist the pirates' fierce charges?
can only be slashed to the ground by one side, just as unbearable as the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops who were defeated and ridiculed by the Jurchens.
The mine horse farm was broken in an instant.
Wanyan Agu inquired about one after another similar horror reports.
"Demon law?"
He glared and muttered, but it wasn't the ignorant savage Jurchen soldiers and civilians below, who had heard and seen it to a certain extent, and judged that it should not be some magic power, but gunpowder, a kind of gunpowder that pirates had figured out its true power and created a terrible weapon.
Gunpowder was not uncommon in this day and age.
Song Guo played with gunpowder weapons and played a lot of tricks.
The Song State had such weapons, the Western Xia also had them, and the Liao State had them, and they were not inferior to those of the Song State. For example, various crossbow arrows that use gunpowder to induce or increase their power.
In the past, the Jin army had also tasted the gunpowder weapons of the Liao army many times. Wanyan Aguda himself has been taught. But just like that, the power and deterrence are not great, but the sound sounds terrible. It is also slow to reload, and is often a one-off on a rapidly changing battlefield. Knowing and familiarizing, there is nothing to fear.
The pirates did nothing more than be more ingenious, better, more powerful. There should always be a way to deal with it. Don't be so afraid.
"What demon spell?"
Wanyan Agu blink his eyes and saw that many people around him also believed in the demon law, and even the proud and fearless warriors showed a look of horror, so angry that their already anxious and angry hearts became more and more annoyed, and they couldn't help roaring, and slapped the table in front of them into a pile of wood.
The generals and male and female servants in front of them were so frightened by the thunderous fury and ferocity that they quickly knelt on the ground.
Ah Guda was angry, his already staring eyes widened, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying fierce light and he scanned everyone and shouted: "That's not a demon method, let alone a magic power." That's gunpowder. ”
"Gunpowder, gunpowder, haven't you dogs heard of it?"
"Haven't we seen it before to fight the Liao Kingdom? Have you seen it less? ”
He was so angry that he roared angrily: "Isn't it just a soft egg that can't fight hard, just take a trick, make something to make a scare noise on the battlefield, and it also has some explosive lethality?" What kind of demon law did you believe? Scared like this? Stupid pig. You have all become wastes, and the Liao people are also qualified to despise the stupid pigs who ridicule you? ”
"Are you still brave and invincible, and even more fearless, my eldest Jurchen glorious warrior?"
Everyone was ashamed, and they all said that they understood, they were not afraid, please forgive the king, don't be angry, don't be angry with the king Jingui's body. We, the Jurchen tribe and the Dajin Kingdom, are still counting on the leadership of the Great King to lead to a more brilliant victory and live a better life.
The generals actively asked for battle, and they wanted to join forces to bravely pursue the pirates, and they would kill the pirates to the ground, so that the pirates would know the power of my eldest Jurchen's true warriors.
Ah Guda woke up his subordinates with an angry roar, and shocked and calmed people's hearts, but he said that gunpowder is not fearful, pirates are not afraid, and my eldest Jurchen warrior is terrible, but he will not despise the power of gunpowder so much in his heart, let alone childishly underestimate the enemy.
His life is a life of fighting, fighting old and fighting, and living to this age, he is not a frizzy, impulsive, and unstable young man who likes to blindly take risks.
He knew in his heart that the defenders of the mine horse farm were not so fragile and intimidating, and they could be easily defeated or even wiped out by pirates, and pirates must be strong and difficult to defeat.
Originally, he still had the heart to personally lead the troops to attack, and he wanted to teach the pirates a good lesson, kill a little harder, and strive to deter the pirates from never daring to invade the Jin country again. But after learning about the pirates' operations in various places, he was so angry that he couldn't calm down, but he kept his sanity.
Since the pirates have succeeded, they quickly retreated and did not continue to wreak havoc on all parts of the Jin Kingdom, and the goal here is not to slaughter and reduce the Jurchens, then the most rational way to do it is to let the pirates leave.
With his strength, he is naturally unwilling to bow his head, and he is even more unwilling to show weakness to the pirates.
But it can't be helped.
Although he has an unusually strong physique, strong martial arts, superior archery, courage and bravery, he is actually the first warrior of the Jurchens at this time when the junior elites have not fully grown up, not to mention the young children, even the younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai who has the power of the bear and tiger is not an opponent, but this is not useful against pirates.
The pirate's crossbow arrows are terrifying, I am afraid that it is the rumored Song or Western Xia only the divine arm crossbow, winding and fast, undoubtedly more powerful than the divine arm crossbow. It's scary enough.
Plus gunpowder that I don't understand.
The point is, the soldiers are gone. He only has a thousand guards on hand, and there is no general, and there is only a Zongbi (that is, the Golden Vulture Technique) that has shown the qualifications of a brave general, but is still too small and unusable...... How dare he send troops to pursue the pirates without authorization.
In his heart, he was actually very worried that the pirates would not suffer a loss, and they would become more rampant and want to fight here again.
If it really hits, according to the pirate's terrible weapon advantage, he may not be able to lead the army.
