Chapter 38: The Stubborn Shi Wengong (1)
Shi Wengong fell into the pit, the fishing net was covered with his head, and seeing that Shi Wengong was about to be captured alive, Zeng Tu was so frightened that he quickly turned his horse's head and ran away.
Of course, Huang Xin couldn't let him escape from under his eyelids, seven or eight sets of horse ropes and two or three fishing nets flew over in unison, knocking Zeng Tu to the ground, and then Liang Shanjun rushed up and tied him up.
Zeng Mi was in charge of guarding the west gate of the village, and when he saw that the Liangshan army was rushing over, he immediately asked someone to open the gate and fled with the people.
Not long after he ran out of the West Gate, several tripping ropes set up in the morning suddenly tripped his war horse, and Zeng Mi flew out at once.
After rolling on the ground several times in a row, Zeng Mi didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly got up, trying to escape.
Ma Lin saw that the longitudinal horse caught up from behind.
Zeng Mi heard the sound, turned his head and didn't have time to beg for mercy, Ma Lin fell with a knife, and Zeng Mi became a headless ghost.
Zeng Kui was guarding the east gate, and when he saw the Liangshan army rushing into the village, he took his men to meet him, and tried in vain to drive the Liangshan army out.
Ou Peng and Deng Fei were very annoyed when they saw that Zeng Kui didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he still refused to surrender at this time, and wanted to resist.
At this time, it was not a heads-up between the two armies, Ou Peng and Deng Fei were not polite, they rushed up together, and the two iron guns attacked Zeng Kui on the left and right.
Zeng Kui's martial arts skills are good, but after all, two punches are difficult to defeat four hands, three or five rounds, when Zeng Kuilai did not draw a gun to resist, he was stabbed off the horse by Deng Fei with a shot.
Zeng Kui's life was lost.
Zeng Suo was in a panic, and he ran in front of the black whirlwind Li Kui.
Who is Li Kui, how can he have the patience to capture the enemy general.
With a loud roar, Li Kui rushed forward, cut off the leg of the horse where the other party was sitting with an axe, put Zeng Suo down, and then ran up and hacked him to death.
With Zeng Rong's suicide, the Zhuang guests recruited by the Zeng family were even more unresistant, and in the persuasion of the Liangshan army, they either surrendered or abandoned their weapons and fled.
The Liangshan army successfully captured the village of Zengtou City.
Seeing that he had successfully captured the village, Shi Jin, accompanied by Zhu Wu and Wu Yong, walked into the village and sat down in the main hall of Zeng's mansion.
The leaders came one after another to pay tribute.
Ma Lin presented Zeng Mi's head, along with more than 30 good horses.
Ou Peng and Deng Fei captured four or five hundred prisoners.
Zengtou City was originally a village that developed by selling goods from the Liao State, and once sold ginseng, mink, famous horses, gold beads, beeswax, and linen cloth, earning a lot of money, and then he used the money he earned to buy grain, grass, and weapons to transport them to the northeast of the Liao State and give them to the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchen tribe.
After Lu Zhishen, Luan Yanyu, and Pang Wanchun invaded the village, they captured the treasury as soon as possible, not only to prevent the other party from burning and destroying the things in the warehouse, but also to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos to steal.
An inventory. There was nearly 100,000 stone of grain and grass in that storehouse.
And what makes people even more happy is that in addition to 3,000 spears, 2,000 knives, and 300 bows and arrows, there are 1,000 pairs of armor.
These armors were all standard infantry armor of the Song Dynasty.
Due to the loss of horse-producing areas in the north, the Song Dynasty was extremely short of war horses, and the Song Dynasty army could only continue to thicken the armor of its soldiers to fight against the northern enemy countries with a large number of cavalry.
The Song Bu Armor is developed on the basis of the Tang Infantry Armor, which is a kind of heavy steel armor that can cover the whole body. Nearly 60 pounds.
As for why they were guarding the village, why didn't these soldiers of the Zeng family take it out and use it.
Ironically, when defending, soldiers have to run back and forth to carry stones, beams, boiling oil, etc., how can they wear such heavy and inconvenient armor to consume their physical strength fearlessly.
When defending the city, soldiers with better conditions wear goggles and helmets.
This kind of heavy armor is only suitable for field battles, and it is still for those heavy infantry who carry the cavalry of the Liao army and the Xia army.
That is, when they put it on, they basically did not move, and they stood at the front to resist and resist the powerful impact of the cavalry.
Other ordinary infantry still wore light armor, leather armor, and even many soldiers had no armor.
As for the comments of later generations that the Great Song Dynasty was rich, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers had a pair of Song Army step armor, it was simply whimsical.
Let's not talk about whether the Song Dynasty had the financial and material resources to equip so many soldiers and horses with this kind of heavy armor.
Let's not say that the Song soldiers didn't have so many strong soldiers who could wear these heavy armors.
Just say that if the officers and soldiers wear this thing to fight.
You don't have to fight!
Those Liao army and Western Xia army were standing opposite, wearing 60 pounds of armor Song soldiers, but they were afraid that before they ran in front of the other party, they would be tired and collapsed and waited to cut the other party!
What a fart!
Therefore, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops are equipped with heavy armor, which simply does not work. All dynasties and dynasties were dominated by light infantry and paved with heavy infantry.
Moreover, during the period of Song Huizong, corrupt officials were rampant, the armament was lax, and there were a lot of armor on the roster, but that was only nominal, and there was not so much infantry armor in essence.
I don't know if there are 100,000 pairs of infantry heavy armor, light armor, and leather armor combined.
This thousand pairs of armor is definitely a major gain.
It should have been obtained through Tong Guan's relationship, and then it was ready to be sent to the Wanyan tribe of Liao to raise troops.
didn't expect that it was cheaper for Shi Jin and cheaper for Liang Shanjun.
You must know that this kind of armor costs iron and money, and Shi Jin couldn't afford it before.
Except for those leaders in the Liangshan army, the other minions had no armor at all.
Even if the leader is actually a general, there are no other people like Zhu Wu and An Daoquan.
Now with this batch of armor, Liangshan can also form heavy armor soldiers, and even if those armors are slightly modified and used by cavalry, there is no problem at all.
A thousand pairs of armor, say no more, say no less.
Is this the first thing to do is to form a battalion of heavy infantry? Or is it better to form heavy cavalry?
Just as Shi Jin was thinking about whether to form heavy infantry or heavy cavalry first, Huang Xin, Song Wan, and Du Qian pressed Shi Wengong and walked up.
Shi Wengong's marksmanship and archery skills are very good, and he is a good candidate for the commander of the light cavalry of the Liangshan Army in the future. Therefore, Shi Jin cherishes Shi Wengong's talent very much and wants to collect it for his own use.
Shi Wengong was also unlucky, he was accidentally blocked in the village by Shi Jin, otherwise he would have led the cavalry under his command to bring a lot of trouble to the Liangshan army.
As long as Shi Wengong can surrender sincerely, with his ability, he will definitely be able to help Liangshan form a light cavalry.
As soon as he saw Shi Wengong, Shi Jin immediately stood up and shouted: "How can you treat Brother Shi Wengong like this, quickly release the tie!" ”
After shouting, Shi Jin walked over and wanted to personally untie Shi Wengong and show his kindness.
As soon as the rope is untied, both hands can be moved. Shi Wengong's eyes were filled with anger and he rushed towards Shi Jin.
"Thief, it's a big deal for me, take your life!"
