The main people stationed in Muyang City are Liao soldiers and some family members.
There are ordinary people living outside the city, but their number is not large, that is, about a hundred households.
Shepherd City is a fortress responsible for monitoring the sea, but on weekdays it is just a market.
In the early morning, herdsmen, fishermen, traders, etc. all brought their goods to sell and exchange what they needed.
When the people walked out of their homes, the herdsmen holding their sheep, and the fishermen carrying fresh sea fish gathered outside Muyang City, they couldn't help but be secretly worried, and at the same time they couldn't help but be curious.
Who is this Nine Pattern Dragon Shi Jin?
He dares to be so bold and dare to attack Daliao Kingdom.
They gathered together in twos and threes and discussed.
But no one knows who these people are.
Suzhou is too remote.
Shi Jin's fame is mainly in the Song Dynasty.
People in the area close to Yanyun are better.
Some people have heard of Shi Jin's name, but basically never in Suzhou. .
Seeing Han Sanding among the patrolling soldiers, many of the Liao people recognized this guy.
They suppressed the fear in their hearts and respectfully asked Han Sanding whose team this Jiuwenlong Shijin belonged to.
Unexpectedly, when Han Sanding was questioned, he did not scold them fiercely.
Instead, he proudly claimed that Jiuzhilong Shijin was the general of the Liao Dynasty who was appointed by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
He was in charge of the seven states and had 100,000 troops under his command.
This time Jiuzhilong Shijin is coming to defeat the Liao Kingdom and regain Yanyun.
The current army is just Shi Jin's vanguard.
The army will arrive in a few days.
Let them not be afraid and panic and continue their daily life and work.
When Han Sanding said this, the people of Liao Kingdom became even more worried.
The Song Dynasty tried to regain Yanyun and sent troops several times, but in the end they all returned defeated.
The people of the Liao Kingdom were secretly worried that if the Liao army came back and the Jiuwen Long Shijin was defeated, then the people of the Shepherd City might not be able to avoid another bloody storm.
It is they, the common people, who are suffering.
The Liao army usually did not organize logistical supplies.
According to the Liao Dynasty's military system, the soldiers they recruited should bring their own food for five days, and the rest was always dealt with on the spot.
The so-called on-the-spot solution is to allow each unit to take turns to attack and plunder in the name of herding horses, which is called foraging.
But now in Suzhou, except for this group of enemies, there are no enemy civilians around.
They will not be the only ones robbed by the Liao soldiers.
Some people in the Liao Kingdom fled because they were afraid, but some people were reluctant to part with their little possessions and wanted to see the situation before deciding.
It would be best if these enemies saw that the situation was not good and escaped on their own.
While the people of Liao were making different choices, Li Jun heard the news brought back by the messengers and knew that Zhang Heng had captured Muyang City.
He immediately led his men to escort the ship full of supplies to Shepherd City.
Walking into Muyang City and looking at this small city, Li Jun couldn't help but shake his head.
This city can't even compare to Liangshan Village.
But this is fine, there are no people, it is suitable for building a strong fortress.
With the sharp weapons that the marshal asked people to forge, and these people, they are not afraid even if the Liao Kingdom sends tens of thousands more troops.
As soon as Li Jun entered the city, Zhang Heng ran out after hearing the news.
He felt happy when he saw the supplies on the long wheelbarrow behind Li Jun.
When he first attacked Hangzhou City, he had seen the power of these firearms.
Now that we have this batch of firearms, why fear the Liao soldiers?
He captured Muyang City and won the first victory in attacking Liao.
Zhang Hengzheng was so excited that he shouted to Li Jun: "You're here, just in time.

Let's have a drink tonight.
Let's celebrate."
Seeing Zhang Heng's unconcealable pride, Li Jun shouted angrily: "Look, you are so happy.
You just defeated the few with more and won a small Shepherd City.
What is there to be proud of?"
, taking over all of Suzhou is what we should do.”
Zhang Heng heard Li Jun's words and asked, "Do you have an idea?"
When it comes to martial arts, he is naturally the leader in the navy.
But when it comes to strategy, Zhang Heng admires Li Jun.
On the day of the castration, Li Jun was not very lucky.
He was originally castrated to stay in Jiangnan to help Xu Guanzhong guard Hangzhou City.
But when Li Jun heard that Marshal Shi Jin had also transferred Ruan Xiaoer to the navy, his mind changed.
He ran to fool Ruan Xiaoer, and then he fooled Ruan Xiaoer for a while.
Ruan Xiaoer also felt that it was boring to just do sea trade, so he went to tell Shi Jin that he should use merit instead of practice.
Anyway, Hangzhou is located on the Qiantang River and not far from the sea, which is suitable for him to transform his men from the navy to the navy.
Shi Jin also felt that Ruan Xiaoer's words made sense, and agreed to his proposal and asked him to take his men to Hangzhou to assist Xu Guanzhong.
Li Jun successfully stayed in Dengzhou, but he was not the kind who just waited for opportunities to come to him.
He ran to speak to Shi Jin: "Marshal, the capture of Muyang City is the first battle of our Liangshan Army.
It is related to the morale of the entire army and is of great significance.
The general believes that caution is the best.
The general is willing to lead his lieutenants.
On the one hand, he can help Escort supplies.
If General Li fails to attack the city, the last general can also help to ensure the successful capture of Muyang City."
How could Shi Jin not know Li Jun's thoughts?
But seeing as how proactive he is, what he said makes sense.
Shi Jin took advantage of the situation and agreed.
In this way, Li Jun successfully followed Zhang Heng in preparing to attack Muyang City.
Just seeing that Zhang Heng successfully captured Muyang City, he, Li Jun, spent so much effort but didn't get much credit, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.
So he encouraged Zhang Heng to send troops to capture all of Suzhou.
Li Jun said with a smile: "Anyway, we have conquered Muyang City.
The Liao Kingdom will know the news sooner or later.
Instead of waiting for them to attack, we might as well take the initiative.
Taking them by surprise, I believe it will not be difficult to conquer with the strength of our army.
As long as we attack them by surprise.
We can capture Suzhou, and with the strength of our navy, it is not a sure thing to hold it. " Zhang Heng was shocked.
He could not imagine that Li Jun was so bold and wanted to take over Suzhou.
Zhang Heng said hesitantly: "Isn't this too risky?
Although there are not many guards in Suzhou, if they were to gather, they would still have one or two thousand cavalry.
We only have a little more than two thousand infantry, and we still have to guard the important city of Muyang City."
Isn’t it too risky to attack the bridgehead rashly?”
Li Jun said: "This Shepherd City cannot accommodate more than 2,000 people.
As long as more than 500 people are left, plus those firearms, we will be able to defend the ground as solidly as gold.
The rest of the soldiers and horses are idle, and they are still idle.
It is better to take the initiative to attack and tie up their troops so that they do not have the energy to attack Muyang City.
This is the best strategy."

Seeing that Zhang Heng was still hesitating, Li Jun added fire and said: "You have also heard of the Marine Corps described by the marshal, so you carefully train your men's combat effectiveness on land.
What's more, you have also seen the Marine Corps The power of the artillery on the ship is great.
I am afraid that future naval battles will rely more on these.
Artillery, not personal martial arts.
If we don't seize the opportunity now and let the marshal see the strength of our navy, how can we build up the reputation of the Marine Corps and compete with Lin Chong and others for the main force in the future?
You don't want to always watch others.
If you have meritorious service, you can only serve as a transport brigade if you go by yourself."
Zhang Heng heard Li Jun talk about the Marine Corps and how he wanted to compete with Lin Chong for the position of the main force of the army.
He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Well, since you even said that, if I, Zhang Heng, don't accompany me, how can I be worthy of our navy?"
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 Muyang City.
The task assigned to us by the marshal is to ensure the safety of Muyang City for fifteen days.
If it is lost within fifteen days, City, we will all be subject to military law.
But after fifteen days, when the marshal’s army arrives, they will do nothing to us.
That's it.
So I think we can move a few cannons from the ship and place them at the top of the city.
Anyway, the Liao Kingdom has no decent navy and is not our opponent at all.
It is better to strengthen the defense.
The safety of Muyang City, even if our plan to attack Suzhou does not go well, we will still be successful."
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "What you said makes sense.
The safety of Muyang City should indeed be the priority.
Your lieutenants, Tong Wei and Tong Meng, were sent to Jiangnan to help Ruan Xiaoer get familiar with the situation in Jiangnan.
I asked Zhang Shun to guard Muyang City."
Although Zhang Heng wanted his younger brother to take the credit, Li Jun also recognized Zhang Shun's ability.
He agreed and said: "It should be so.
Now the herdsmen are scattered in various places in order to store food and grass for the winter, and their troops are dispersed.
With the elites under our men, we can concentrate our troops and horses, and attack with more and less in some places.
What's more, we can also take advantage of the news Before word spreads, I will pretend to be a merchant and wait for the opportunity to ensure victory."
Li Jun and Zhang Heng made up their minds and immediately ordered Zhang Shun to go into the city and take charge of the defense of Muyang City.
"Why should I stay in Muyang City?
Why should I stay here if I don't do it?
As the general, you should sit in Muyang City and make overall arrangements.
Let me, the forward, do the hard work of conquering the city."
Zhang Shun shouted dissatisfied. road.
Zhang Heng immediately lowered his face and shouted: "If you are told to defend the city, defend the city.
There is so much nonsense.
Are you the commander-in-chief or am I the commander-in-chief?
Are you disobeying orders?
Okay, come here, call the military judge, and be careful Teach you a lesson, kid"
Li Jun immediately stood up and said: "Okay, brother Zhang Heng, don't be angry.
This Erlang is also eager to make contributions, and he doesn't mean to contradict you.
Erlang, your elder brother is also doing it for your own good, so listen to your elder brother.
You should also Know the military law of our Liangshan Army But it's very strict.
It's not a joke if the general and judge are really called in.
You just have to be aggrieved for the time being and take charge of the safety of Shepherd City until the marshal's follow-up troops arrive, and then you can be relieved.

How about continuing to be a forward?"
Hearing Zhang Heng's cry for a military judge, Zhang Shun, who had always been aggrieved, was immediately castrated.
He was not afraid of sticks or whips, but what he was afraid of was being thrown into a dark prison.
That's really not a place for people to stay.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death Zhang Heng showed his identity as a general, how dare Zhang Shun not listen.
Zhang Shun led 500 navy sailors to guard Muyang City, while Li Jun and Zhang Heng personally selected 1,500 elite soldiers and began to sweep across Liaoning and Tokyo Suzhou.
Today's Liaoning Dongdong Road Suzhou is not the Lushunkou District of later generations.
Today's Suzhou is mountainous and hilly, with few plains and plains.
The people here mainly make a living by herding and hunting.
The entire population of Suzhou is less than 10,000, and the area is vast and sparsely populated.
The largest tribe in Suzhou is the Chutekui tribe, with a population of only 3,000 including young and old.
On this day, Chutesam drove hundreds of his sheep to a small hill.
The sharp north wind blew by, causing him to dismount and hide on a leeward hillside.
He sat on the grass.
Chutesamu took out a piece of dried mutton from his arms and fed it to the loyal shepherd dog lying beside him.
This hound is a good helper for me.
I usually rely on it to drive goats and watch out for wild wolves and leopards.
Smelling the smell of meat, the hound lowered his head, took the piece of dried meat into his mouth, and bit it.
"Eat, eat, and remember to look after the sheep for me.
Don't let wild wolves or leopards take them away," Chutesamu said, stroking the head and neck of the loyal hound beside him.
When the hound was eating happily, suddenly its ears stood up, it raised its head and looked back to the south, and suddenly barked wildly.
"Wangwangwangwang" Seeing the fierce reaction of the hound, Chutesam immediately became vigilant and asked, "Is there a wild wolf coming?"
Although tigers and bears are scary, Chutesam is not very afraid.
This place is not far from his tribe and he can fly back at any time.
With the tribe's nearly hundreds of young men, he didn't think tigers or black bears were their opponents.
But what he fears are wild wolves, especially wolves, a group of cunning and cruel opponents.
I saw the hound still jumping and shouting crazily.
Chutesamu galloped onto his horse, pulled the rope, held the horn, and looked toward the south.
Whenever something goes wrong, he will blow the horn and call for his fellow tribesmen to come.
Soon Chutesamu saw that what was coming was not a wild wolf, but a human figure.
People rushed out from another hill, many, many people.
Chutesam stared at those people.
They seemed not to be herdsmen, but to soldiers, not enemies at all.
Although Chutesam had not figured out which tribe these people belonged to, he still blew the horn quickly.
The long, high-pitched and sharp horn sound suddenly filled the sky.
The sky is blue and the wilderness is vast.
Cows and sheep are visible in windblown grass
The context is beautiful But the life of a nomad is not that poetic A single snowstorm could freeze all the herdsmen's cattle and sheep to death, leaving them bankrupt.
There's also the occasional plague, and most importantly, grass control.
Cattle and sheep need grass, and they need large tracts of grass.
They often migrate seasonally in search of pasture.
At the same time, they will often need to fight for control of a piece of grassland.
The battles fought by herdsmen tribes for grassland are no less than the battles fought for cities in the Central Plains, but it is just because some of them are too small in scale or there are no dedicated people to record them.
Upon hearing someone blowing the horn, the young and strong members of the tribe and the herdsmen grazing around them all immediately mounted their horses and galloped away in the direction of the horn sound.
People in the tribe know that only by uniting can they survive.

So as soon as the horn sounds, no matter what the reason is, they must rush over and unite to deal with the enemy.
The navy sailors led by Li Jun and Zhang Heng were also heading towards Chu Tekui's tribe according to the information given by Zhu Gui
