Chapter 153: The Song People Who Can't Attack
Wang Liangjing is a very down-to-earth person, he doesn't have as many fancy intestines as his son, as long as he recognizes a path, he will run to the black. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He shoulders the hatred of the country and the family, and must settle accounts with the Liao State. Therefore, he trained his troops very ruthlessly, but he was also willing to spend money, no matter what the disaster and famine outside became, the Wang family's troops and the Xiang army were never short of meat.
Don't look at the foals in the Wild Wolf Valley Horse Farm haven't grown up yet, but the soldiers of the Wang family are not short of war horses at all, not to mention anything else, just planting sweet sorghum, squeezing sugar in the autumn, selling 200,000 stone of sugar, don't think it's scary, there are one or two million people in Bianjing City, and most of them are rich.
I usually cook dishes, make snacks to season, and children like to eat candy cubes and snacks, and I consume one-third of the amount in the capital alone.
The Cao family has estimated that the market north of the Yangtze River alone is enough to digest millions of stones of white sugar, and it can be said that there is still very amazing room for improvement!
White sugar brought tens of millions of profits, as well as candles made of whale oil, soap, which were also big sellers, and Wang Ningan knew that he couldn't swallow it alone. He wanted to share the profits with others, but he was unwilling to let others take too much advantage, so Wang Ningan threw out the method of agency.
Similar to the purchase of the imperial court, as long as you give the Wang family a sum of money, you can obtain the exclusive right to sell in certain areas.
Relying on this item, Wang Ningan collected another five million.
Of course, a lot of these 15 million guan were exchanged for food to relieve the victims, but most of them were still used in the royal family's armament.
Wang Liangjing didn't say it, but he knew it in his heart.
He did not live up to Wang Ningan's efforts, Wang Liangjing tried his best, and even sent money everywhere, through relations, from the horse farms in Hebei, and even Shandong and other places, to buy 3,000 usable war horses for the Wang family, with an average of three soldiers per soldier.
Such an extravagant configuration is still the first in the army of the Great Song Dynasty!
There are also good weapons, there are 300 soldiers, with a full set of armor, and the rest also have armor on the upper body, which can protect the key points.
Since whaling, whale skin is abundant, and the soldiers and horses of the Wang family are wearing leather armor, which is light and strong, which can not only keep warm, but also defend against bows and arrows, and is very popular.
In addition, Wang Liangjing also spent a lot of money to dig the foot of the wall from the Daimyo's mansion and get a few craftsmen who made crossbow arrows.
A few months ago, didn't Zhao Zhen give 20 bed crossbows to the Wang family!
Wang Liangjing asked people to work hard to study, imitate, and make bed crossbows, but the difficult thing is that they need good tendons, glue and other materials, which are not only expensive, but also scarce, and even the Song army can't open up the equipment.
But this most difficult thing has become the easiest for the Wang family, the quality of the glue boiled out of the whale's cartilage is excellent, and the tendons of whales are tougher than those of cow tendons.
The workshop made forty bed crossbows in one go, and Wang Ningan also made a suggestion that the bed crossbows of the Great Song Dynasty were all used to defend the city, which was very cumbersome.
He proposed that the bed crossbow be mounted on top of the carriage, so that it could move quickly and exert its might in the field.
Wang Ningan is not a genius who does it, he can't make artillery in a short time, so he can only rely on the existing equipment of the Great Song Dynasty. However, judging from Daddy's demeanor, the modification was a success.
"Ning An, with the help of these bed crossbows, our men and horses may be able to fight with the Liao soldiers, no, we will definitely win!" Wang Liangjing clenched his fists and looked in the northwest direction, and a scout had just come back to report that Liao soldiers had appeared thirty miles away and were setting fire to and looting.
"Take a good look at how Dad kills the enemy!"
Wang Liangjing carried the horse lance and was ready to rush up to rescue the people.
"Wait."
Wang Ning'an stopped his father's war horse, "Dad, the child asks a few questions." ”
Wang Liangjing was a little impatient, but still said, "What do you want to ask?" ”
"Why do you want to save people?"
"Then it goes without saying that we are the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom is spreading wilderness on our territory, can your father turn a blind eye?"
"Is it big?"
Wang Liangjing was suddenly asked, even if he did everything he could, at the expense of huge sums of money, the subordinates of the Wang family were still too immature, not to mention compared with the soldiers of the Liao State, even compared to the Yang family's troops, they were much inferior.
No matter how you look at it, this battle has fewer wins and more losses.
But the question is that when people are killed at the doorstep, can they watch their own people being killed and be indifferent?
Wang Liangjing said viciously: "Even if he loses, Lao Tzu will bite off a piece of Liao Gou's meat!" Let them know that there are still good men in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not for them to enter and exit at will. ”
Dad's courage, Wang Ning'an certainly admires, if the army of the Great Song Dynasty can do this, it may not be able to fight, but the problem is that if Dad goes, I am afraid that he will fall into isolation, and the other Song troops will only hide in the castle and peep, and will never come out to help, and they are not even willing to provide provisions. Don't care how much you can fight, sooner or later it will be consumed, there are too many tragedies like this, Wang Ningan doesn't want to repeat the lessons of his ancestors.
"Dad, it is worthy of admiration, but it is not worth emulating, we can't just think about working hard, we have to think about winning, and we want to save the fathers and villagers in Cangzhou."
"And what can you do?"
"Hit out!" Wang Ningan said decisively.
"How?" Wang Liangjing asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"Of course, if they enter the Liao Kingdom, they can burn, kill and loot in the Great Song Dynasty, and we can also enter the territory of the Liao Kingdom, and make them feel the pain of the skin!"
"Ahh
These few words also frightened Wang Liangjing.
Kill into the Liao State, you really dare to say, since the defeat of Zhao Er, the Great Song Dynasty has no generals who dare to take the initiative to attack, how many years have been called by the Liao State, the Great Song Dynasty is passive defense, can block the Liao soldiers, reduce casualties, it is already a great achievement, and dare to find the mold of the Liao State, who gave you the courage!
The domestication of generals in the Great Song Dynasty has been the same for hundreds of years, and Zhao Da initially only relieved the generals who were more capable than him from military power, after all, as a founding king, he was still a little confident.
When he arrived at Zhao Er, he intensified his efforts, trying to turn the generals into elm pimples, stupid people who didn't know anything, before the war, he gave a formation map imagined by civilian officials out of thin air, and he dared to play casually according to this arrangement, and if he won the battle, he was plotting against him!
Think about it, under such a twisted oppression, the warrior's head is stuffed with paste, and his backbone is also broken, so it's strange that he has the courage to counterattack!
Fortunately, Wang Liangjing has not been devastated by this set, and Wang Ningan is a bold master.
"Since we don't have the certainty of victory, it's better to avoid the truth and attack the false, hide from the sky and cross the sea, run to the territory of Liao, and make a big fuss!"
Wang Liangjing frowned, "Ning An, this, can this work?" I can't beat the Liao soldiers in our territory, and when I get to the territory of the Liao country, I don't know the place well, I'm afraid of ......"
"Don't be afraid!" Wang Ningan suddenly smiled shyly, "Dad, are you just smuggling to make money as a child?" The map of Nanjing Road in Liaoguo is in the hearts of children! ”
"Oops!"
Wang Liangjing was overjoyed and rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's give Liaogou a good look!"
As they spoke, their group of men and horses immediately went north like a whirlwind, and along the way, they deliberately avoided the Liao soldiers who went south to fight in the grass valley, and finally arrived less than ten miles away from the Yellow River near dusk.
Wang Ningan asked Li Wujian to come over.
"I'll ask you two questions, and you're going to answer me honestly."
"Yes, please ask a question."
"Are you Han or Khitan?"
"I'm a Khitan!"
"Are you from Liao, or from Song?"
Li Wujian hesitated slightly, and immediately patted his chest, "My ancestors have lived in Yingzhou for several generations, and I am a native of Yingzhou in the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"Good!"
Wang Ning'an nodded with satisfaction, "You take your brothers now, pretend to be a victorious army who has returned from beating the grass valley, and cross the river immediately, and our men and horses will arrive later." ”
"Yes!"
Li Wujian nodded vigorously, in fact, Wang Ningan's question just now was a bit redundant, Li Wujian agreed more with whose food to eat and who to work for!
Although Wang Ningan is not very good to him and tortures him in every way, Wang Ningan is too good to his wife!
The old lady's blindness was treated by a doctor, and the frostbite on her arms and legs was treated with ointment. I can eat hot porridge at every meal, and I also get a sheepskin shoulder.
Although there are not many things, they can be dripped in his heart, and Li Wujian is grateful. It's just that he really doesn't want to continue to pretend to be a rich businessman, this time Wang Ningan rescued him from Fan Zhen's hands, and let him go north with the army, Li Wujian felt that this was his chance, a man's husband, a prancing horse field, killing the enemy and making meritorious service is what should be done!
As for who you belong to, entangled in those things, they are all full, and now it's better to eat first!
Li Wujian escorted dozens of carriages, safely and soundly, crossed the Yellow River on the ice, walked all the way forward, and could meet Liao soldiers from time to time, Li Wujian's heart was raised to his throat, but to his surprise, these Liao soldiers did not doubt it at all.
Li Wujian relied on his courage and threw them a few jars of wine, and immediately hooked their shoulders and became brothers.
Anyway, there were too many troops in the Liao State, with different accents, and ordinary soldiers couldn't see Li Wuji's flaws. Almost twenty miles into the territory of Liao, a tent appeared in front of it, in which there was laughter and brilliant lights, apparently standing in celebration of victory.
Li Wujian gritted his teeth, he told the brothers to calm down, ran to the tent himself, and gave him a lot of wine, and the enthusiastic Liao soldiers pulled him in and turned around.
The Liao soldiers were all indulging in drinking and eating meat, and in the tent next to them, there were dozens of plundered Song women, obviously, when they were happy, they were about to enjoy it.
Li Wujian secretly gritted his teeth, he came out of the tent and returned to the convoy, seeing that it was about to be the third watch, the moon above his head was covered by thick clouds, it was a good time to kill.
Li Wujian bit the scabbard with his mouth, separated the artemisia grass with his hands, and took hundreds of brothers, cautiously, approached the tent, and at this time the inside was already drunk, and they ripped off their coats one after another, and rushed to the tent next to them.
"Kill!"
Li Wujian stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife, like a leopard, pounced, the knife flashed in his hand, and directly inserted it into the chest of a Liao State Marquis Yu, this guy squeezed his eyebrows, unwilling to die, "You, you, how, how to kill, kill yourself...... People ......"
Until he died, he thought that the Liao soldiers were fighting by themselves, because the Song people would not attack......
