Farmer Fubo is open for business

"Save arrows!"

Seeing this, Song Erxiao shouted loudly: "Wait until they are within shooting range before shooting arrows!"

The soldiers responded and stood with their bows in hand.

Zhao Yuan and Song Sanshun even looked around for the enemy generals, aiming and shooting as soon as they approached.

Zhao Yuan's accuracy was better than Song Sanshun's, and he hit the enemy's head every time.

Song Sanshun did not show any mercy and shot several enemy bandits one after another, killing them all with one blow.

Even Lu Jingzhou also participated, and basically every fire bomb sent someone away.

The Jurchen team was shocked by this bizarre death rate and quickly retreated to a distance.

On the second day, all the Jurchens outside the city suddenly withdrew, as if they didn't want to waste time here and went to other places.

Song Erxiao sent several scouts to investigate the situation and was surprised to learn that the Jurchen team had really gone far.

"It may not be a good thing if they withdraw. The surrounding guard posts may not be able to withstand it."

The other guard posts are not like the Beishan Guard House. Their walls are not heightened and their moats are not very wide.

There was no water in the moat of some guard posts, so the Jurchens could fill it with some soil and get through.

At this time, many people and many war horses ran out from the woods in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that they were all surviving soldiers from various forts in Beishan, as well as family members of military households.

Seeing this, Song Erxiao quickly asked someone to lower the suspension bridge and let them in.

There were more than 2,000 survivors this time, including more than 600 sergeants.

Except for a few who were injured, most were still able to fight.

As soon as these people entered the city, their families and children came running over, hugging and crying with them.

Song Erxiao summoned the nine intact members of the hundred households and asked them about their situation. He couldn't help but sigh when he learned that hundreds of soldiers had been lost in this battle.

"Thanks to Miss Chang'an for arranging everything in advance, otherwise none of us would have survived."

Several households bowed to Chang'an one after another and said, "Miss Chang'an knows things well and has thought out our escape route. The lives of our whole family are all given by the young lady. I am truly grateful. Please accept my thanks." "

Chang'an stepped aside, not daring to accept their worship.

Song Erxiao said: "You guys need to tidy up a little bit, there's still a tough battle to be fought later.

All those who wield firearms are gathered together, and we set up a firearms team. If the Jurchen comes back, we will go out to fight. "

"Yes!" everyone responded.

Within two days, the Jurchen came again.

This time they came with nearly 20,000 people and tried to storm the Beishan Guard Station.

The Jurchens also erected a tall shield in front of them, and then dug a ditch behind the shield, trying to dig the moat and divert the water away.

Fu Qianhu became anxious when he saw it, and quickly led a team of troops to attack.

When the Jurchens saw someone coming out, they rushed over in a swarm. Unexpectedly, Fu Qianhu and others showed their firearms and aimed and shot with one hand.

Bang bang bang! There was a loud noise, and the Jurchens fell to the ground one after another, but the horses still rushed forward.

Song Erxiao was so happy that he immediately asked people to bring the horses into the city.

The Jurchens were confused. They didn’t understand why firearms could be fired without being loaded with gunpowder.

They also had firecrackers in their hands, but they were very troublesome to use and could not be used while riding horses.

For example, first blow the gun, load the gunpowder, plug the paper, load the lead shot, take the stick, tamp the ammunition, put back the stick, open the lid of the medicine tank, take the tin turtle, fill the medicine tank, close the lid of the medicine tank, and install the match rope. Blow on the match rope.

Wait until everything is ready, then raise the gun to shoot. Maybe the opponent will shoot you into a sieve with arrows.

Therefore, the Fire Gun Army generally consists of three platoons, with the first row shooting, the second row preparing, and the third row loading ammunition.

Unlike Chang'an's new firearms, you only need to load, load, raise the gun, aim and shoot.

Deputy Qianhu led the firearms team to succeed in one attack, and then pursued the victory and killed hundreds of Jurchen cavalry in a row.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Jurchens fled in all directions.

Fu Qianhu laughed loudly: "Son of turtle! I thought you were not afraid of death! Are you also a rabbit in love?"

He didn't chase them far, he just collected the horses and turned back to the city.

By the time the Jurchens reacted and fought back again, Deputy Qianhu had already returned to the city with the firearms team.

The Jurchen cavalry were shouting outside and frantically sent people digging ditches everywhere.

As a result, several canals were dug, and water in the moat continued to flow out, but the water level did not drop.

Are the Jurchens becoming more and more confused?

Could it be that there is some underground river connected to this moat?

Chang'an stood on the city wall and smiled to himself.

I threw two glazed beads into the moat, and each of them was filled with two small bead leaves. After a month or two, I guess the water in the moat will not drain dry.

It's hard for the Jurchens to bother digging so many canals, but it saves me a lot of trouble. In the future, I can use these canals to divert water to irrigate farmland.

The Jurchens are still digging ditches, and they are determined not to stop until the water in the moat is diverted.

However, for more than ten days in a row, they dug out two miles of canals, but the water in the moat did not decrease even one point.

This time, the girl was really numb.

Many of them believed in ghosts and gods, and when they saw this scene, they immediately lost their confidence in fighting.

A few days later, the Jurchen team left.

This time they really left because they had run out of food and grass.

Song Erxiao was overjoyed and immediately sent people to check several surrounding guard stations.

A thousand-household settlement dozens of miles away was attacked, and many people were killed or taken away.

But some of them escaped, and they fled into the mountains, and then moved to Guangning.

One month later, the reinforcements Shanshan arrived late, but the Jurchen troops had long disappeared.

So the governor dispatched troops from various command departments to go with the reinforcements to regain the lost territory.

Three hundred people from the Beishan Guard Station were also transferred, led by Song Erxiao to join the commander.

Song Erxiao handed over the firearms team to Deputy Qianhu and asked him to guard the house at home.

After all, my daughter and the governor are still in the guardhouse, so nothing can go wrong.

Song Sanshun took this opportunity to rush back to Yuyang County and secretly asked his own workshop to make 200 firearms and more than 10,000 fire bombs.

My brother is too dangerous in that place. If he doesn't have weapons at his side, he might be killed by the Jurchens one day.

So this firearm had to be made.

After finishing this batch of firearms, Song Sanshun was ready to hand over the manufacturing methods of the firearms to Lu Jingzhou, who would hand them over to the court.

Even a common man like him is not allowed to do this stuff in large quantities. He might be labeled as a rebel.

Fortunately, the firearms are all used in the guardhouse, so it shouldn't be considered treason.

After all, the guards could also make their own firecrackers for defense, so Song Sanshun and Chang'an dared to develop them themselves.

"Chang'an, I will return to the pass in a while, so you can go back with me." Lu Jingzhou watched Chang'an pinching Japanese melons and cantaloupe seedlings with his hands behind his hands.

Chang'an: "Let's wait until dad comes back."

She couldn't leave for the time being. Those Jurchens were very cunning. They would appear out of nowhere and raid the guard house.

Lu Jingzhou frowned: "You will only distract your father if you stay here. The war in Northern Xinjiang is tense now. Not only do you have to go back, but these military households also have to retreat to the pass."

In the previous life, with the rise of the Jurchens, the imperial court withdrew all the garrison posts in northern Xinjiang and allowed all the garrison troops to return to the pass.

The same should be true in this life. Even if Song Erxiao and the others could hold the guardhouse, the court thought it was not worth spending huge sums of money in this desolate land, so they had no choice but to go back.

Chang'an raised his head and looked at the handsome young man standing in the sun. Many images suddenly flashed through his mind.
