Chapter 862 Take down the Zhongjing Mansion, the next target is the Henglin Mansion
"Check it out quickly to see if Wanyan Gong is dead." Hu Cheng said.
The soldiers found Wanyan Gong and turned him over and saw that they had been shaken to death by the shock of Qidong and their eyes were not closed, which was very terrifying.
"Die." Sa Jiang said to Hu Cheng.
"Where are the others?" Hu Cheng asked again.
"Everything is all dead," said a battalion commander.
"Go, go somewhere else."
Afterwards, Hu Cheng and his team went to other places together.
Because Hu Cheng and Sa Jiang were wearing Jin army uniforms, and Sa Jiang was proficient in Jin dialect, so all the Jin soldiers who met them regarded them as their own people and called them to resist the Song army. As a result, they threw the gunpowder stick among them and killed many people, and those who were not killed by them were killed by them.
Since the Jin army in Zhongjing Prefecture had no precautions at all, and the number of Song troops was more than three times that of theirs, the firepower was relatively strong, and Hu Cheng, Sa Jiang and others were in charge.
Therefore, the Jin army had no way to resist. In front of the Song army, it was like a group of lambs to be slaughtered. It was destroyed in less than an hour, and only a few soldiers escaped and hid.
"Sir, the Zhongjing Prefecture has been occupied by us, and the soldiers guarding have almost been eliminated by us. Only a few soldiers have missed the net." Lu Junyi reported to Hua Ju.
Accompanied by Lu Junyi, Hua Ju slowly rode her horse through the street to Wanyan Gong's residence. At this time, most of the servants in the mansion had escaped, and only a few were still in the mansion.
Hua Ju called the servants who were left in the mansion and asked, and knew that they were all from Zhongjing Mansion and were forced to serve Wanyan Gong here, so he let them go.
After dawn, all the generals came to report the situation to Huaju.
"Sir, we wiped out a total of 49,391 Jin troops last night and seized a large amount of their supplies, including more than 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder, 350,000 gunpowder sticks, 200,000 weapons, and 150,000 war horses.
In addition, they found 50,130 shi of grain in their grain warehouse, and found 460,000 taels of silver and 1,350,000 shi of copper coins in their grain warehouse." Sun An said.
Hua Ju nodded slightly and said, "How many people have been killed or killed in our army?"
"Our army suffered minor casualties, only 67 people were killed in battle and 182 people were injured. They were all killed and injured by the Jin army when they fought back with gunpowder sticks." Sun An said.
"I didn't expect that our firepower was already so strong, and there were still soldiers who were injured or killed."
Hua Ju sighed softly, and Lu Junyi said, "Although our firepower is powerful, it is difficult to explain the situation on the battlefield. It is normal for soldiers to suffer casualties. After all, there are many people on the other side, and the gunpowder sticks in their hands are also very powerful. It is difficult to avoid being killed or injured by one person."
Hua Ju also knew this truth, but now they already have such strong firepower, he really hopes that there will be no more soldiers killed or injured. After all, killing one soldier means another family is incomplete.
"Retain the bodies of the dead soldiers and leave them to their families in the future. In addition, let the military doctor treat the injured soldiers as soon as possible." Hua Ju said.
"Don't worry, these humble positions have been arranged." Lu Junyi said.
Hua Ju knew that Lu Junyi was cautious and serious in his work. Since he said that he had already made arrangements, he did not ask any more. To Hu Cheng, Sa Jiang said, "I will remember the merits for you this time. After the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, I will present your merits to the emperor and let the emperor reward you."
"Thank you, sir." Hu Cheng and Sa Jiang said.
Hua Jue then said, "Now I have another task to hand over to you."
"My lord has any tasks to explain. I will do my best to complete them." Hu Cheng said.
Hua Ju looked at the generals present and said, "The Zhongjing Mansion has been taken down, and the next place we want to take down is Henglin Mansion."
"Don't worry, with the power of our current firearms, it is no problem to take down Henglin Mansion." Lu Junyi said.
Hua Ju said, "I know it is not a problem to take down Henglin Mansion, but the power of gunpowder rods and flying thunder shells is too great. Whether it is Guning Mansion or Zhongjing Mansion, there are a large number of houses that have been destroyed due to the damage of gunpowder rods. Although we will compensate these people in the future, it is better to avoid them as much as possible. After all, compensation is also required. The court has just recovered its vitality. There are also many places in the Song Dynasty that need to use silver, so it is better to reduce losses as much as possible."
Whether it was Guning Prefecture or Zhongjing Prefecture, the Song army used a large number of gunpowder sticks when fighting with the Jin army, so many people's houses were also blown up, and Hua Ju still cared about this matter very much.
"Sir, are you not going to use gunpowder sticks and flying thunder cannons anymore?" Lu Junyi asked, and the other generals also looked at Hua Ju.
Because they are now very dependent on gunpowder sticks and flying thunder cannons, otherwise they would be a little uncomfortable if they didn't use it.
"We spent so much effort to create thunder cannons and gunpowder sticks, so how could we not use them?"
Hua Ju said, "I mean try not to use it in places where the people live, so that they can avoid accidentally hurting the people and their houses."
Guan Sheng said, "But all the Jin soldiers were huddled in the city. If they didn't use a large number of gunpowder sticks, how could I destroy them? Moreover, the Jin soldiers also had gunpowder sticks in their hands, and they would use them even if we didn't use them."
The other generals also agreed with Guan Sheng's statement and nodded one after another.
Hua Ju said, "So this time I attacked Henglin Mansion, I will first transfer their team of troops, and then let someone cooperate with us inside and outside, so that the accidental injury to the people can be reduced."
"How can we get them out?" Lu Junyi asked.
Hua Ju took out Wanyan Gong's military talisman and said, "Just use this."
"Soldier Talisman!"
"Yes, it's the military talisman."
Hua Ju said, "Let Sa Jiang take the military talisman to meet the chief general of Henglin Mansion. He said that Zhongjing Mansion was besieged by us and was in danger. He asked them to send troops to reinforce immediately. Then we buried powder kegs on the road, and when they arrived, they would blow them to death like they did against Wanyan Hongjiang and the others.
At the same time, we sent some soldiers to mingle into Henglin Mansion and then find ways to control the gunpowder rod manufacturing department. When we lead our troops to Henglin Mansion, we will cooperate with us inside and outside to eliminate the Jin army in the city gates and military camps, so that we can try our best to avoid damaging the people's houses."
"Sir, I'm very good at it." Lu Junyi said with a thumbs up.
Hua Ju looked at the generals around him, and then said to Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Bian Xiang, Lu Tingyu, Jie Zhen, Jie Bao, Shan Shiqi, Qi, and Hu Cheng: "This time, you nine of you will lead 10,000 soldiers with Sa Jiang. When we lead the troops to arrive, the Jin army will definitely gather at the four city gates. Since their large groups of troops have been transferred, the remaining military power in the city should be insufficient. At that time, you will lead the troops to attack them from the inside, and we will attack from the outside and destroy them all at the city gate."
"There are nostalgias" Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Bian Xiang, Lu Tingyu and other eight people answered in unison.
Hua Ju handed the military talisman to Sa Jiang and said, "You can find a way to send the soldiers we want to sneak into the city safely, and then take the military talisman to meet the guards of Henglin Mansion. What should I say, I don't need to teach you?"
"Don't worry, the villain will definitely send several generals to Henglin Mansion safely." Sa Jiang took the military talisman and said.
Hua Ju then looked at Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Bian Xiang, Luan Tingyu and others, and said, "It depends entirely on you whether you can take down Henglin Mansion at the lowest price this time."
"Bizhi and others will definitely complete the task." Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Bian Xiang, Luan Tingyu and the others said.
Hua Ju nodded gently and let them leave.
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others went down to select 10,000 soldiers and let them put on makeup to become common people. Bian Xiang, Fengshu, Luan Tingyu and others also changed into ordinary people.
Only Lu Zhishen changed into a ragged monk's robe because he was a monk, and then left.
After Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and the others left, Hua Ju said to Ling Zhen and Jin Dajian: "You should find a wooden barrel or box to make powder barrels, leads, and leads immediately."
"Yes." Ling Zhen, Jin Dajian, Meng Qinghe responded.
It is easy to make gunpowder barrels. When the gunpowder is put into an empty wooden barrel, it is tightly covered. Thousands of people take action at the same time, and two thousand of them are prepared in less than half an hour.
As for the lead tubes used to place the leads, they were all used before and brought them all when they came, so just take them away.
Therefore, everything is done in less than an hour.
Then, Hua Jue said to Gao Zhan, Sun An, Hua Rong and Qin Ming: "Tonight you will lead your men to dig a hole forty miles away from the city and bury the gunpowder barrel."
"Affect the order." Gao Zhan, Sun An, Hua Rong, and Qin Ming responded.
"Remember, when digging a hole, you must send troops to guard five miles away, and no one is allowed to approach, so as not to leak the news." Hua Ju then specifically explained.
"Yes, Bei Zhi and others will definitely do as the adults told me." Gao Zhan said.
After the four of them left, Hua Ju said to Lu Junyi: "General Lu, and some Jin soldiers have missed the net. You can find them according to our methods in Guning Mansion."
"As for the order," Lu Junyi said, and then went down.
There are 240 miles from Zhongjing Prefecture to Henglin Prefecture. It took Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others five hours to arrive. This is because they have no war horses to replace, so they dare not urge the war horses to death. They also have to ensure that they have enough rest and eat. Therefore, they took eight or nine times in the middle, so it took so long to arrive.
However, it is already good to be able to arrive in five hours.
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others stopped twenty miles away from Henglin Mansion. Because ordinary people rode so many war horses into the city, they would definitely be suspected by the Jin army, so they had to find a place to hide these war horses first and then enter the city.
"Sajiang, you are more familiar with this place than us. Where can we hide so many war horses?" Lu Zhishen asked.
Sa Jiang said, "The villain is not very familiar with this place. However, when the villain attacked here with the Jin army before, he found a valley on the left side of the East City twenty miles away from the East City. It was enough to accommodate 40,000 or 50,000 people. We can put the war horses there first."
"Since that's the case, let's go."
Then they bypassed Henglin Mansion and rushed to the valley east of the city. This valley was far away from the avenue, with woods and wild grass everywhere, which was very remote and a good place to hide.
"Dear generals, the city gate is closed now. Let's take a rest here first. We will enter the city after dawn." Sa Jiang said.
Although Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were all skilled in martial arts, they felt a little tired after running for such a long time, so they arranged thirty people to go to the entrance of the valley to stare, while the rest dismounted and rested.
