Chapter 38: The Stubborn Shi Wengong (1)


Shi Wengong fell into the pit and was covered with a fishing net.

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 could not let him escape from under his nose.

Seven or eight horse ropes and two or three fishing nets flew over, knocking Zeng Tu to the ground, and then Liang Shanjun swarmed up and tied him up.

Zeng Mi was responsible for guarding the west gate of the village.

When he saw Liangshan's troops rushing over, he immediately asked someone to open the gate and led his men to escape.

Not long after he ran out of the west gate, his horse tripped over the ropes he had set up early in the morning, and Zeng Mi flew out immediately.

After rolling several times on the ground, Zeng Mi ignored the pain and quickly got up, trying to escape.

Ma Lin saw it and rode up to catch up.

When Zeng Mi heard the sound, he turned around and had no time to beg for mercy.

Ma Lin slashed his sword and Zeng Mi turned into a headless ghost.

Zeng Kui was guarding the east gate.

When he saw Liang Shanjun rushing into the village, he led his men to meet them and tried to drive Liang Shanjun out.

Ou Peng and Deng Fei were very angry when they saw that Zeng Kui was still unwilling to surrender and wanted to resist.

This time was not a duel between the two armies in front of the formation.

Ou Peng and Deng Fei were not polite and rushed up together.

Two iron guns attacked Zeng Kui from the left and the right.

Zeng Kui was good at martial arts, but after all, it was difficult for him to fight with two punches.

After three or five rounds, when Zeng Kui drew his gun to resist, Deng Fei shot him off his horse.

Zeng Kui died as a result.

In the chaos, Zeng Suo panicked and ran to the black whirlwind Li Kui.

Who was Li Kui?

How could he have the patience to capture an enemy general alive?

With a loud roar, Li Kui rushed forward, cut off the legs of the opponent's sitting horse with an ax, knocked Zeng Suo down, and then ran up and hacked him to death.

Following Zeng Nong's suicide, the villagers recruited by the Zeng family became even less resistant.

When the Liangshan Army persuaded them to surrender, they either surrendered or dropped their weapons and ran away.

The Liangshan army successfully captured the village of Zengtou City.

Seeing that the village was successfully captured, Shi Jin, accompanied by Zhu Wu and Wu Yong, walked into the village and sat down in the main hall of Zeng Mansion.

The leaders came one after another to offer their services.

Ma Lin presented Zeng Mi's head, along with more than thirty fine horses.

Ou Peng and Deng Fei captured four to five hundred prisoners.

Zengtou City was originally a village that developed by selling goods from the Liao Kingdom.

He once earned a lot of money by selling ginseng, mink skins, famous horses, gold beads, beeswax, and linen.

They all purchased grain, grass, and weapons and transported them to the northeast of Liao Kingdom to the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchen tribe.

After Lu Zhishen, Luan Yanyu, and Pang Wanchun invaded the village, they immediately captured the warehouse, which not only prevented the other party from burning and destroying the contents in the warehouse, but also prevented anyone from taking advantage of the chaos and stealing.

An inventory.

There are nearly 100,000 shi of grain and grass in that warehouse.

What's even more gratifying is that in addition to hiding three thousand spears, two thousand knives, and 300 pairs of bows and arrows, there are also a thousand pairs of armor.

These armors are the 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.

The Song Dynasty army could only continuously thicken the armor of soldiers to fight against the northern enemy countries with large amounts of cavalry.

Song Bu Renjia was developed based on Tang Bu Renjia.

It is a heavy steel armor that can cover the whole body.

Weighs nearly 60 pounds.

As for why these Zeng family soldiers were not used when defending the stronghold.

What a joke, when defending, soldiers have to run back and forth to carry stones, crossbars, boiling oil, etc.

How can they wear such heavy and inconvenient armor to fearlessly consume their energy?

When defending a city, soldiers with better conditions just wear breast goggles and helmets.

This kind of heavy armor is only suitable for field battles, and it is still used by the heavy infantry who carry the Liao Army and Xia Army cavalry to death.

Even if they put it on, they basically wouldn't move and would just stand on the front line and resist the powerful impact of the cavalry.

Other ordinary infantry still wear light armor, leather armor, and many soldiers even have no armor.

As for some people in later generations who commented that the Song Dynasty was rich and had hundreds of thousands of forbidden soldiers armed with a pair of Song army infantry armor, that is simply fantastic.

Let’s not talk about whether the Song Dynasty had the financial and material resources to equip so many soldiers and horses with such heavy armor.

Not to mention that the Song soldiers did not have so many strong soldiers who could wear these heavy armors.

Just say that if the officers and soldiers all wore these things to fight.

No need to fight Those Liao and Xixia troops were standing opposite, wearing 60-pound armor and Song soldiers.

They were afraid that before they could get in front of the opponent, they would collapse from exhaustion and wait to be chopped down by the opponent.

What a fart Therefore, it is simply not feasible for hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops to be equipped with heavy armor.

In all dynasties, light infantry was the main force and heavy infantry was the main force.

Moreover, during the Huizong period of the Song Dynasty, corrupt officials were rampant and armaments were lax.

There were a lot of armors on the roster, but that was only in name.

In fact, there were not that many infantry armors at all.

There are not even a hundred thousand pairs of infantry heavy armor, light armor, and leather armor combined.

These one thousand pieces of armor are definitely a major gain.

It must have been obtained through Zeng Guan's relationship, and then prepared to be sent to the Wanyan tribe of Liao for military use.

But he didn't expect that he would benefit Shi Jin and Liang Shanjun.

You must know that this kind of armor consumes iron and money, which Shi Jin could not afford before.

Except for the leaders, the other minions in the Liangshan Army had no armor at all.

Even if there are leaders, in fact, they are military generals, others like Zhu Wu and An Daoquan are not there at all.

Now with this batch of armor, Liangshan can also form heavy armor troops.

Even if the armor is slightly modified and used by cavalry, there will be no problem at all.

A thousand pairs of armor, more or less.

Is it better to form a battalion of heavy infantry or heavy cavalry first?

Just as Shi Jin was thinking about whether to form heavy infantry or heavy cavalry first, Huang Xin, Song Wan, and Du Qian came up pressing Shi Wengong.

Shi Wengong was good at marksmanship and archery, and was a good candidate to be the commander of the light cavalry of the Liangshan Army in the future.

Therefore, Shi Jin cherished Shi Wengong's talent very much and wanted to take it for his own use.

Shi Wengong was also unlucky.

He was accidentally blocked by Shi Jin in the village.

Otherwise, he and his team of cavalry would definitely cause a lot of trouble to the Liangshan Army.

As long as Shi Wengong can sincerely surrender, 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?

Untie him quickly!"

After shouting, Shi Jin walked over and wanted to personally untie Shi Wengong to express his goodwill.

Once the rope ends are untied, both hands can move.

Shi Wengong's eyes were filled with anger and he rushed towards Shi Jin.

"Thieves, if you ruin my big job, you'll have to kill me":
