Chapter 42 Make a name for yourself in the navy

The main people stationed in the shepherd city are Liao soldiers and some family members. Ordinary people living outside the city, but the number is not large, that is, hundreds of households.

Shepherd's City is a fortress that watches over the sea, but on weekdays it is a market for gatherings. Early in the morning, herdsmen, fishermen, and traders bring their goods to sell and exchange for what they need.

When the people walked out of their homes, the herdsmen led the sheep, and the fishermen gathered outside the sheep city with fresh sea fish, they couldn't help but be secretly worried, and at the same time couldn't help but be curious.

Who is this Nine-Pattern Dragon Shi Jin? Dare to be so bold and dare to attack the Great Liao Kingdom.

They got together in twos and threes and discussed. But no one knows exactly who these people are.

Suzhou is too partial, Shi Jin's fame is mainly in the Great Song Dynasty, and the people in the Yanyun area are better, and some people have heard of Shi Jin's name, but Suzhou has basically never heard of it.

Seeing that there was Han Sanding among the soldiers on patrol, many of these Liao people recognized this guy.

They forcibly endured the fear in their hearts, and respectfully asked Han Sanding whose team this nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin was.

Unexpectedly, when Han Sanding was questioned, he did not scold them viciously, but proudly declared that Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, was the general of the Great Song Emperor, who was in charge of the seven states and had 100,000 soldiers and horses.

This time, Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, is going to defeat the Liao State and recover Yanyun. The current army is just the vanguard of Shi Jin. In a few days the army will arrive, so that they will not be afraid and panic, and will continue with their daily daily work.

Han Sanding said this, but the people of Liao were even more worried. The Great Song Dynasty did not attempt to recover Yanyun, and sent troops several times, but in the end they were all defeated and returned.

The people of the Liao Kingdom were secretly worried, in case the Liao army came back, once this nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin was defeated, I am afraid that the people of this sheep city would inevitably have a bloody storm. It is they, the people, who suffer.

According to the military system of the Liao Dynasty, the soldiers who should be recruited brought their own food for five days, and the rest was always settled on the spot.

The so-called on-the-spot settlement is to allow all units to take turns to attack and plunder in the name of horse herding, which is called 'grass fighting'.

Now in Suzhou, except for these enemies, there are no enemy people around, and it is not them who will be robbed by the Liao soldiers.

Some of the people of Liao fled because they were afraid, but some people were reluctant to give up their belongings, and they still wanted to see the situation before deciding, and it was best for these enemies to see that the situation was not good, and they fled by themselves!

Just as the people of Liao were making different choices, Li Jun heard the news that the messengers had brought back and knew that Zhang Heng had conquered Muyang City.

He immediately led his men to escort a shipload of supplies to Shepherd City.

Walking into Shepherd City, looking at this small city, Li Jun couldn't help but shake his head, this is also called a city? Not even Liangshan cottage!

But it's okay to have no people, and it's just right to build a strong fortress.

With the sharp weapons that the marshal asked people to build, plus these people, even if the Liao State sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they were not afraid.

As soon as Li Jun walked into the city, Zhang Heng ran out when he heard the news. He was happy when he saw the supplies on the long wheelbarrow behind Li Jun.

When he attacked Hangzhou City, he had seen the power of these firearms. Now that you have this batch of firearms, why not be afraid of that Liao soldier!

Won the shepherd city and captured the first merit of attacking Liao. Zhang Hengzheng was excited, and he shouted to Li Jun: "You are here, just right, let's have a drink in the evening." Celebrate! ”

Seeing Zhang Heng's unconcealed pride, Li Jun shouted angrily: "Look at you, you are happy, but you have won a small shepherd city with more than less." What is there to be proud of, winning the whole of Suzhou is what we should do! ”

Zhang Heng heard Li Jun's words and asked, "Could it be that you have an idea?" ”

When it comes to martial arts, he is naturally the leader in the navy. But if it is about strategy, Zhang Heng admires Li Jun, this kid.

On that day, Li Jun, this kid was unlucky, and he was originally sent to stay in Jiangnan to help assist Xu Guanzhong in guarding Hangzhou City.

But when Li Jun heard that Marshal Shi Jin had also transferred Ruan Xiaoer to the navy, his mind turned. ran to fool Ruan Xiaoer, and flickered for a while.

Ruan Xiaoer also felt that it was boring to just go to sea trade, so he ran to Shi Jinjin and said that he wanted to practice with merit.

Anyway, Hangzhou is located on the Qiantang River, not far from the sea, which is suitable for him to change his subordinates from a naval division to a navy.

Shi Jin also felt that what Ruan Xiaoer said was reasonable, agreed to his proposal, and asked him to take his men to Hangzhou to assist Xu Guanzhong.

Li Jun stayed in Dengzhou smoothly, but he is not the kind of person who will only wait for the opportunity to come to the door.

He ran to Shi Jin and said: "Marshal, the capture of Shepherd City is the first battle of our Liangshan Army, which is related to the morale of the whole army and is of great significance. The last general thinks that when he is cautious, he is willing to lead his lieutenants, on the one hand, he can help escort supplies. If General Li's siege of the city does not go well, the last general can also help to ensure that the Shepherd City is successfully captured! ”

Li Jun's thoughts, how could Shi Jin not know. But look at him so proactive, and he has a point. Shi Jin also agreed.

In this way, Li Jun smoothly followed Zhang Heng to prepare for the attack on Shepherd City. It's just that seeing that Zhang Heng successfully won Shepherd City, he Li Jun spent so much thought, but he didn't get much credit, so he was naturally unwilling.

So he instigated Zhang Heng to send troops to take the whole of Suzhou.

Li Jun said with a smile: "Anyway, we have conquered Shepherd City, this Liao Kingdom will know the news sooner or later, rather than sitting on them to attack the door, it is better for us to take the initiative." Attacking it by surprise is not difficult to overcome with the strength of our army. As long as we can take Suzhou, with the strength of our navy, it is not a sure thing to hold this Suzhou. ”

Zhang Heng was taken aback, he thought that this Li Jun was so bold that he wanted to take the whole of Suzhou.

Zhang Heng said hesitantly: "Isn't this too risky, although there are not many defenders in Suzhou, if they gather, there are one or two thousand cavalry." We only have a little more than 2,000 infantry, and we still have to guard the important bridgehead of Shepherd City! Isn't it too risky to attack this rashly! ”

Li Jun said: "This shepherd city can't accommodate more than 2,000 people at all, as long as there are more than 500 people left, plus those firearms, they will definitely be able to hold the land as stable as gold." The rest of the soldiers and horses are idle, it is better to take the initiative to attack, involve their soldiers and horses, so that they do not have the energy to attack Shepherd City. Attacking instead of defending, this is the best policy! ”

Seeing that Zhang Heng was still hesitating, Li Jun added another fire and said, "You have also heard of the Marine Corps described by the marshal, so you will carefully train your subordinates to fight on land. What's more, you have also seen the power of those guns on the ship, and I am afraid that in the future, naval battles will rely more on these guns than on personal martial arts. If we don't seize the opportunity now and let the marshal see the strength of our navy, how can we make a name for ourselves as a 'marine'? How can you compete with Lin Chong and them in the future? You don't want to always watch others making meritorious contributions, you can only be a transport brigade if you go yourself! ”

When Zhang Heng heard Li Jun talk about the Marine Corps and that he wanted to compete with Lin Chong for the position of the main force of the army, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Okay! Since even you say so, if I, Zhang Heng, don't accompany me, how can I be worthy of our navy! Say, what do you think we should do? ”

When Li Jun heard that Zhang Heng agreed to his plan, he immediately said happily: "First of all, we must ensure the safety of Shepherd City, and the task given to us by the marshal is to ensure that Shepherd City is safe for fifteen days. If we lose the city within fifteen days, we will all be court-martialed. But fifteen days later, as soon as the marshal's army arrived, they did nothing to us. So I thought it would be possible to move a few of the guns from the ship down and place them at the head of the city. Anyway, there are no decent sailors in Liao, and they are not our opponents at all. It's better to strengthen the defense than to waste it like this. As long as we can ensure the safety of Shepherd City, even if our plan to attack Suzhou does not go well, we will be innocent! ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, it should indeed focus on the safety of Shepherd City." Your lieutenants, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, were both sent to Jiangnan to assist Ruan Xiaoer in familiarizing himself with the situation in Jiangnan. I asked Zhang Shun to guard the shepherd city! ”

Although Zhang Heng wanted his younger brother to take credit, Li Jun also agreed with Zhang Shun's ability.

He agreed: "As it should be! Now those herdsmen are scattered in various places in order to store grain and grass for the winter, and their troops are scattered. With the elite under our command, we can concentrate our troops and horses, and attack more locally. What's more, we can also pretend to be a vendor before the news spreads, waiting for the opportunity to move. When victory is assured! ”

Li Jun and Zhang Heng made up their minds, and immediately ordered Zhang Shun to enter the city to take charge of the defense of Shepherd City.

"What? Let me stay in Shepherd City, I won't do it! Why should I stay? As the main general, you should sit in Shepherd City, and make overall arrangements. Let me, the striker, do the hard work of conquering the city. Zhang Shun shouted dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Heng immediately lowered his face and shouted: "If you are told to defend the city, you will defend the city, where is so much nonsense." In the end, you are the main general or I am the main general. Don't listen to orders, do you? Okay, come on, call the military judge over, and teach you a good lesson! ”

Li Jun immediately stood up and said: "Okay, Brother Zhang Heng, don't be angry, this Erlang is also a meritorious person, and he doesn't mean to contradict you." Jiro! Your eldest brother is also for your own good, listen to your eldest brother. You should also know that the military law of our Liangshan Army is very strict, and it is not a joke to really have to find a military judge. You will be wronged for the time being, and you will be responsible for the safety of Shepherd City! When the marshal's follow-up soldiers and horses arrive, you will be free. How about letting you continue to work as a striker? ”

Hearing Zhang Heng shouting to find a military judge, Zhang Shun, who had been indignant, was suddenly castrated.

He is not afraid of sticks and whips, but he is afraid of being put in a black prison. That's not a place for people!

The official university crushed people to death!

Zhang Heng came out as the main general, how dare Zhang Shun not listen.

Zhang Shun led 500 naval sailors to guard the city of Shepherd, while Li Jun and Zhang Heng personally selected 1,500 elite soldiers and began to sweep through Liao, Tokyo and Suzhou.

The current Liaojing Road Suzhou is not the Lushunkou District of later generations, the current Suzhou is mountainous and hilly, less plain and flat, and the people here are mainly grazing and hunting for a living.

The population of Suzhou is less than 10,000, and it is vast and sparsely populated.

The largest tribe in Suzhou is the Aoi tribe, with a population of only 3,000 people, including young and old.

On this day, he drove his hundreds of sheep to a small hill, and the sharp north wind blew him, so that he could not help but dismount and hide on a leeward hillside, where he sat on the grass.

He took out a quick piece of mutton jerky from his bosom and fed it to the faithful shepherd dog lying beside him.

This hound is a good helper of his own, and he usually relies on it to drive goats, warn of wild wolves, and jackals.

Smelling the meat, the hound lowered his head and took the piece of jerky into his mouth and bit it.

"Eat! When you're done, remember to help me watch the sheep. Don't give it to wolves and jackals! Tsam said as he stroked the neck of the faithful hound beside him.

When the hound was eating, suddenly its ears were pricked up, and it looked up to the south, and suddenly barked wildly. "Want Want Want ......"

Seeing the hound's violent reaction, Utsamu immediately became vigilant, "Is it a wild wolf?" ”

Although the tiger bear is terrifying, it is not very fearful, it is not far from its own tribe, and it can rush back at any time. With the youth of the tribe of nearly a few hundred people, he didn't think that the tigers and black bears were their opponents.

But he is afraid of wild wolves, especially wolf packs, a group of cunning and ferocious opponents.

I saw that the hound was still jumping and shouting wildly. Tsam galloped to the horse, pulling the rope, holding the horn, and looking south.

Whenever something went wrong, he would blow the trumpet and call for his people to come.

Soon T Samu saw that it was not a wolf, but a human figure. From another hill rushed out of people, many, many people.

He stared at those people, as if they were not herdsmen, but like soldiers, or enemies.

Although he had not yet figured out which tribe these people were, he still quickly sounded the horn.

The long, high-pitched and fierce sound of the horn suddenly sounded in the sky.

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep!

The context is beautiful!

But nomadic life is not so poetic!

A snowstorm could freeze all the cattle and sheep of these herders to death, bankrupting them.

There are also plagues from time to time, and most importantly, meadow control.

Cattle and sheep need grass, and they need large patches of grass. In search of grassland, they often migrate seasonally. At the same time, they will often need to fight for the control of a meadow!

The battles of the herdsmen tribes for the grassland were no less than those for the cities in the Central Plains, but some of them were too small in scale or there were no special people to record them.

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the young men of the tribe and the herdsmen who were grazing their cattle immediately galloped on their horses and galloped away in the direction of the horn.

The people of the tribe know that survival can only be won if they are united.

So as soon as the horn sounded, for whatever reason, they had to rush over and unite against the enemy.

The naval sailors led by Li Jun and Zhang Heng also followed the information given by Zhu Gui and were killing the Aoi Division.
