The decision of Yinshu to let go of the army of Tianlizi Zhangli is undoubtedly wrong!

Because the tiger squat artillery truck invented by Liu Long and Yu Tongdao is just a scaring thing, and the lethality cannot be compared with Zhou Jun's cannon at all.

The firing range of the Tiger Squat Cannon is too close, it can only kill and injure the enemy within a few dozen steps, and the recoil is too great, and it is difficult to hold down the body with a large car and a few "artillerymen". If the body can't be suppressed, the tiger squat cannon will not be accurate at all.

In addition, the Tiger Squat Cannon is also easy to explode! So it is difficult to fire repeatedly on the battlefield. After one shot, the barrel of the gun must be carefully inspected before reloading.

Therefore, the dozens of tiger squat cannons pushed onto the battlefield by the Xiliang army were at most a cannon dozens of steps away from the Jin soldiers, and then there was white-knuckle hand-to-hand combat - if the Jin soldiers could build some shield cars, they could completely resist the iron beads shot by the tiger squat cannons.

Therefore, in the history of later generations, although the Ming Dynasty had a large number of tiger squat cannons, it still could not defeat the Houjin.

However, now the Xiliang army is not very afraid of hand-to-hand combat, although their personal martial arts are not as good as the Jurchen daring, but the infantry fighting in formation is not a competition. Discipline, equipment, and endurance are much more important than one's martial arts.

The discipline of the Xiliang knights and the knight auxiliaries (who are generally knights' clansmen) is fine.

They are also very well-equipped - don't look at Xiliang is very poor, but they can't stand the big money lord of Tianzhu Xixia Kingdom behind them!

The iron-smelting technology of Western Xia was already very clever, and the metallurgical technology of Tianzhu was also second to none in the Middle Ages, and the famous Damascus knife used the Uzi steel (also known as Fula special steel) produced in the northwest of Tianzhu!

Therefore, the swords, chain mail and various swords produced by the Tianzhu Western Xia Kingdom are extremely sophisticated, and even the Tianjin of the Great Zhou Republic and the Jingdong of the Great Song Dynasty cannot compare with them.

In addition, the Xiliang Tianli Sect also has shock cavalry that is no less than that of the Golden Soldiers! It is enough to hedge head-on with the pursuing Jin cavalry, and it will not suffer too much in the exchange ratio.

In the end, the army of Tenriko Zhangli encountered only a strategic shift, and was not defeated at the tactical level.

Moreover, the knights of the Tenrikyo Sect have strong beliefs and common interests, and they are a very cohesive group, and they are not so easy to collapse at all.

Therefore, the conceivable tail pursuit of the silver art cannot be fought at all, and there is no pursuit, only continuous encounters and ambush battles.

The more than 200 miles from the foot of Muna Mountain to Montenegro City was almost a bloody road, and the cavalry and dismounted cavalry on both sides continued to engage in fierce battles.

During this period, Yu Tongdao also commanded the troops to ambush the following Jin soldiers with tiger squat cannons, killing and wounding (in fact, all of them were dead) three or four hundred people in one fell swoop.

And the Jin soldiers, under the command of Yinshuke, risked their lives to attack, and actually retreated from the ambush soldiers of the same way, and also grabbed more than a dozen tiger squat cannons that had not had time to be transferred!

Although he won a few small victories, Yinshu was never able to defeat Zhang Li's main force. He didn't even have a way to entangle Zhang Li's troops to wait for the arrival of Aguta's main force to encircle and annihilate him.

Therefore, after three consecutive days of chasing battles, Yinshu could only watch as Zhang Li's army calmly retreated into the Hetao irrigation area between the Yellow River and Montenegro - the Hetao irrigation area is an ancient irrigation area, which was built in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, gradually abandoned after the weakening of the Tang Dynasty, and by the time the Hexi Tianli Sect recaptured it, it had become a grassland.

After the Tianli Sect subdued the Wangu Department, the Hetao Irrigation Area became the territory for the Wangu Wanhu Department. Many places have been reclaimed, and the Wanggu tribe has evolved from a grassland tribe that is also a herding and a businessman to a tribe that is half farming and half pastoralism.

As a result, the Hetao irrigation area has become an important stronghold of the Tenrikyo religion in the east and a grain and livestock production area.

The city of Montenegro, located in the southern part of the irrigation area near the Yellow River, became the seat of Wanggu Wanhu Academy, the center of Liang rule in the grasslands on the north bank of the Hetao.

The main purpose of this Dajin Kingdom's westward expedition, in addition to forcing Yelu Dashi away, was to seize Black Mountain City and the surrounding Hetao irrigation area.

However, with only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in his hands (the Jin soldiers lost nearly 2,000 men in the battle at the foot of Muna Mountain and the subsequent three-day pursuit), Wanyan Yinshu did not dare to go deeper, but stationed east of Yangshu Lake at the eastern entrance of the irrigation area. On the one hand, it sent envoys to contact the Song army on the south bank of the Yellow River; On the one hand, waiting for the arrival of the main force led by Yan Agu.

Yinshuke waited anxiously for three days on the shore of Poplar Lake, and only on the 11th of October did he see the iron-faced Akuta and the vast army that could not be seen at a glance.

"All are extremely violent, and the ministers have not been able to ......"

Seeing Ah Guda's face, Yinshu felt a little guilty, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and ask for guilt. Ah Guda waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Lou Room is gone......

"Lou Mur, he ......" Yinshu Ke was also taken aback, and looked at Ah Guda in some surprise, "How is it possible?" Lou Room is an iron-clad man! ”

Wanyan Lou did not act with Yinshuke, but was left at the foot of Muna Mountain, waiting for the men and horses of Kudus.

Although Lou Mur's situation at that time looked very terrible, Yinshu always felt that Lou Mur was an iron-clad man and should be able to survive it.

Now that he suddenly heard the news of Lou Mur's death, Yinshuke suddenly stood there.

Ah Guda said calmly: "Not only Lou Room, but all the real men who were injured by the artillery of the Xiliang thieves are gone......

Because there were follow-up troops, Yinshu Ke did not carry the wounded on the march, but gathered them, sent people to protect and take care of them, and handed them over to the troops who arrived later for treatment.

"No......" Yinshu Ke was stunned, "How is it possible?" Most of Erlang's injuries are not fatal! ”

Ah Gu sighed: "The injury does not look fatal, but it will festering and worsening, and it will be hot...... Not in a few days! Even an iron man like Lou Room can't bear it, let alone others. ”

Yinshu took a breath, "Then isn't there more than a thousand people lost in this battle......

"Almost!" Ah Guda gritted his teeth, "I really didn't expect that the Xiliang thief was so sharp!" ”

He snorted, and the murderous aura on his face suddenly bloomed: "What's going on here?" Zhang Li didn't run, did he? ”

"Didn't run," Yinshu frowned, "It's just ......"

"Just what?" Ah Guda asked, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Did Song Guo and Zhang Li join forces? ”

"Not really," Yinshu said, "The envoy sent by the minister to Shuozhou has not yet returned, and it is estimated that the Song people are still hesitating." ”

"Hesitation? Then don't be afraid," Ah Guda looked at Yinshuke, this guy had a sad face, as if he hadn't said anything, "What kind of revenge are you making?" There are only 20,000 people in Zhangli, and Yelu Dashi is still in Mobei. I have an army of 150,000, can't I win? ”

"Du Bo is extremely fierce, and the son who was sent to investigate near Black Mountain City reported that the appearance of Black Mountain City is the same, like the castle next to Mandarin Duck Luo, and there are eight triangular horse faces......"

Black Mountain is certainly a fortress!

Tianlijiao can learn the cannon casting technology of the Zhou State, and of course, it is not difficult to learn the skills of the Zhou State to build cities.

Therefore, Zhang Li rebuilt the castle after the garrison of Montenegrin City, added an eight-sided outer city to the original square city wall, built eight triangular forts, and re-excavated the trench. Thus upgrading the city of Montenegro into an extremely strong fortress!

……

"What an octagonal fort......"

Led an army of 150,000 and entered the Hetao irrigation area in Aguta, and finally saw the Black Mountain City with his own eyes.

It's a fortress that looks even stronger than Swallow Castle! Because it had two ramparts, and the outer walls were low and the inner walls were high, they formed a stepped shape - later this type of castle was called a stepped bastion.

"It's all extremely fierce, I'm afraid this city is difficult to fight!"

"yes, unless we can also cast cannons, otherwise we won't be able to fight!"

"But when will we be able to forge a cannon? Do we have craftsmen who can cast cannons? ”

The Jurchen generals talked a lot, and their words meant that they were afraid of difficulties.

But it's no wonder that everyone still vividly remembers the hardships they suffered under Swallow Fort last time, and now they have learned the lethality of Xiliang artillery. Who would dare to take Erlang to fight the Black Mountain Castle?

However, if the city of Montenegro is not taken, the Hetao irrigation area will not be able to be taken, let alone the grassland on the north bank of the Hetao. And it is impossible to drive Yelu Dashi and Zhang Li away...... The Golden Kingdom will always be in danger of being destroyed at any time.

Ah Gu glanced at the group of generals around him who were already a little panicked, and snorted: "If we can't cast cannons, won't we be able to take Black Mountain City?" Haven't you seen The Art of War? ”

The Art of War? Among the group of Jurchen daring to reach, only Wanyan Zonggan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan A Clutch and Wanyan Xiyin have seen it, and the others have really not seen it.

"Father," Zong Gan, the eldest son of Ah Guta, said, "The Art of War is an old book of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there is no way to deal with cannons and octagonal forts?" ”

Ah Guda shook his head, and turned his gaze to Zong Wang, who said, "Father wants to besiege the city and send reinforcements?" ”

Ah Guta looked at Zong Bi again, among the older sons, he read a lot of books.

"What does my father mean to go to the army to conspire and then to fight?"

Ah Guda finally smiled: "Yes! It is to plot and make friends!

Although the city of Liang is strong, the general trend is not there, but in the Jin, Zhou, and Song families. Therefore, the gains and losses of Montenegro are not on the battlefield, but in the vertical and horizontal. As long as the Song State did not support the Liang State, Black Mountain City could be taken without a fight. Yelu Dashi is also worth hating to go west, and my Dajin can still dominate the grassland. ”

Zong Bi shook his head, "But Liang Guo is a courtier of Song State after all, how can Song State not support Liang State?" ”

Wanyan Agu smiled: "Isn't it just a minister?" We can also claim to the Song Kingdom...... Called a minister, and there will be no shortage of territory. ”

"But if we are ministers, the Song people may not give up Liangguo."

"Yes," Wan Yan Agu laughed, "If Da Song doesn't want us to join Da Zhou, then you have to give us benefits!" Order, first besiege the castle on three sides, and then send Shuozhou City! ”
