Chapter 318: West Mountain Falls
Zhao Bangjie finally chose the commander of the thousand-man. At this time, he also found that there were more and more enemies. The situation was not good, so he rushed up to help.
As a result, after just two steps, a young man stabbed out and said, "General, save me!"
Zhao Bangjie shouted: "Who are you?"
"The eighteenth prince of Xiao Wang, Zhao Zhen, is it!"
Zhao Bangjie breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly reached out and pulled Zhao Zhen up to the horse and said, "Prince, come with me!" As he said that, he led Zhao Zhen to rush up, killing the Jin soldiers beside him and said to Ma Kuo: "Brother has rescued the eighteenth prince, let's go quickly!"
Ma Kuo was already desperate, but after hearing Zhao Bangjie's words, he was overjoyed and ran away with his men. Jin Wushu chased after him for a while. They were not familiar with Ma Kuo's road. They encountered Zhao Neng's attack on the road and had to retreat.
When Jin Wushu came back to teach the order, he checked the number of people and found that there was indeed a shortage of 18 prince Zhao Zhen. He couldn't help but scream in anger, and almost killed all the Jin soldiers in charge of the guards.
Wanyan Zongwang said viciously to Zhao Ji and others: "Listen! Don't think that someone can save you! If anyone dares to escape, I will kill you ten of them. I hope everyone will not mislead themselves."
Zhao Ji and others had already been so scared that they were trembling and never dared to think about running away again.
Wanyan Zongwang returned to the tent, called Yuan Da and Wu Lihua up, and asked them whose idea was their action today.
The two of them dared not to say anything and explain it honestly. Only then did Wanyan Zongwang realize that it was done by people from the Monk Cave of Xishan.
Jin Wushu gritted his teeth and said, "Second brother, let me try again! I don't believe that the little thief dares to be so bold."
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "It's better to teach them a lesson! Otherwise, they will forget what awe is. Ochuo, I will give you 20,000 people to go to the Xishan Monk Cave and let these people see our courage. Yuan Da, Wu Lihua, you should go and help as a guide."
"Yes! We are willing to go with the Four Wolf Lord!" Yuan Da heard someone else's name to Jin Wushu, and immediately knew his identity and quickly stepped forward to agree.
Everyone ordered the troops and set off for the monk cave early the next morning. With Yuan Da and his wife, Jin Wushu found the monk cave in the West without any effort.
At this time, Ma Kuo, Zhao Bangjie and others had just returned. Although they didn't leave Zhao Ji, they rescued a prince from the Song Dynasty and were finally able to raise the banner and summon people from Hebei to resist the Jin Dynasty.
However, as soon as they came back, they heard that the Jin people had surrounded the mountain village, and the leaders were Yuan Da and Wu Lihua.
This shocked Zhao Zhen. The prince was insulted and finally ran out but never wanted to go back.
Ma Kuo laughed and said, "Your Highness, please don't worry, the terrain of my monk cave is dangerous. Don't say that he is 10,000 or 20,000 enemies, even a 100,000 army will come in vain. Your Highness is waiting, and see us teach these ignorant Jin people a lesson."
Zhao Zhen said hurriedly: "This is all about two adults. When the enemy retreats, Xiao Wang ascends the throne and treasures, and reorganizes the rivers and mountains. The two are my humerus, one is the prime minister and the other is the Grand Marshal."
"Thank you so much. Please rest in the cave and let's go to the mountain pass to take a look!"
Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie and their minions quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain. Sure enough, they saw Jin Wushu and his army surrounding the mountain pass, and Yuan Da and Wu Lihua were next to them.
When they saw Ma Kuo and others, they quickly said, "Master Four Wolfs, these two guys are Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie, the leaders of the Green Forest people on the West Road of Hebei. They led their people to sneak attack our camp and rescue Zhao Zhen."
Jin Wushu urged his war and went forward and said, "There is Ma Kuo above. Your father and son have also sent a mission to our Jin Kingdom. We have made great efforts to unite and destroy Liao. We Jin people respect your people, why not surrender down the mountain? I guarantee that you will be an official in the court and be rich and prosperous!"
Ma Kuoqi said with a grim expression: "Shameless Jin people, even Jin fights against Liao is the lifelong mistake of our father and son. I, Ma Kuo, want to fight with the Jin people to the end and will never surrender. If you want to fight, you will fight. I am waiting for you here, come up for me!"
Jin Wushu snorted coldly, "It's really stubborn! Then I want to teach you a good lesson!" After Jin Wushu finished speaking, he waved his hand and began to attack the mountain with a wave of his hand.
Ma Kuo snorted coldly, waved his hand, and arrows on the mountain fell like rain, and the rolling wood and stones also rumbling down.
The mountain in Xishan Monk Cave was more dangerous than Baodu Mountain. The first Jin army's charge returned in vain. Jin Wushu did not take him seriously. He ordered again that the Jin people's firearms troops also came up.
The iron cannons in their hands are quite primitive, but they are used to bombard the targets of counterfeits, which cannot move, but are also extremely powerful.
Although Ma Kuo also had the talent of a general, their knowledge was average, otherwise they would not have encouraged the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty. They had no idea about firearms at all, and Zhao Bangjie did not understand them, and even believed that such things existed.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, thick smoke rolled on their village, sand and stones flew away, and a large area of minions had fallen.
"Zhouzhu, go!" Zhao Bangjie's personal soldiers rushed over and rushed to the scene, then raised the two and ran away. The pass of the western mountain was declared to be lost in an instant.
Not only did Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie not expect that, but even Yuan Da and Wu Lihua were also stunned. What kind of magic weapon is this? Fortunately, my husband and wife surrendered early, otherwise there would be no way for them to live.
"Kill!" Jin Wushu ordered the Jin soldiers crossed the gate and began to attack the mountain.
The rebels on the mountain were no match, so they could only fight and leave. Zhao Zhen's heart was hanging, and the shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain were getting closer and closer, which made him even more frightened.
Not long after, Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie retreated with their men. Zhao Zhen quickly asked, "Two my dear friends, how is the battle this time? Have you ever defeated the enemy?"
The two of them blushed, and Zhao Bangjie said, "Your Highness, the enemy is powerful, we are not our opponents. We can only retreat first."
Zhao Zhen was even more scared and said, "Retreat, retreat? Where can we retreat?"
Zhao Bangjie said: "Your Highness, don't worry! Not far from this is the area of Zhending Prefecture. There is a mountain called Wuyuezhai. Not only is the mountain dangerous, but it is also hidden among the mountains and ridges, making it even less likely to be discovered. There was also a bandit, but it had surrendered to the Jin people and was annihilated. This is our good opportunity!
I have a small road here to the foot of the mountain. I will walk dozens of miles of mountain road to Wuyue Village. I will definitely let these Jin people lose all the money!"
"Since there is such a good place, what are we waiting for? Go quickly!"
Both Ma Kuo and Zhao Bangjie didn't care about packing things. They burned the village with fire, then passed through the cave and ran away in a hurry.
Jin Wushu had just brought the soldiers up and suddenly found that the fire on the mountain was soaring into the sky. He knew it was not good, so he quickly led the soldiers to kill him, but found that the fire had completely blocked the road and it was too late to chase him.
"Do you know, is there any other roads in Monk Cave?" Jin Wushu asked Yuan Da and the others. The two guys didn't know the secret of Xishan, and they shook their heads and didn't know it.
Jin Wushu scolded: "What a big deal!" Then he led the army to evacuate the West Mountain.
Wanyan Zongwang did not take this matter seriously. They led the army out of Xinde Mansion and continued northward, and soon arrived at the Zhending territory.
When they arrived, they felt something different. Almost all the people here were soldiers, and these people were very hostile to the Jin soldiers. They had similar methods to stop the Jin people from acting like a quagmire, making it difficult for them to move forward.
The Jin people's every move was reported to Baodu Mountain without any fault. The first person to get this information was Zhao Fujin, the intelligence officer.
When Zhao Fujin was sent to the Jin camp, he wanted to forget the Song Dynasty and change his identity and survive. Later, the Song Dynasty was destroyed, and she even thought that she could forget the Song Dynasty and never be sad for him.
However, as the Golden Man's footsteps got closer, her heart felt as uncomfortable as if she was being grabbed by a big hand, especially the experiences of her father, his concubines, and her sisters made her almost unable to breathe.
Zhao Fujin couldn't help but come to Gao Chong's office. She hesitated for a while and didn't know if she should go in.
While hesitating, Cai Songnian walked out of it. He looked excited and suddenly saw Zhao Fujin, not knowing how to say hello.
Although this person's position is not as good as him, he has great power and has a special relationship with Marshal Du. He is also the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so it is really hard to explain for a while.
"Mr. Zhao, come to find Marshal Du?" Cai Songnian greeted randomly.
"General Political Commissar Cai, are they all here?" Zhao Fujin was a little curious about Cai Songnian's real official position. This guy found a large group of down-and-out literati and mysteriously said that he was doing political propaganda. Later, he also found the women brought by Wu Lingyu.
They recruited some women who were good at singing and dancing, trained them to fill in the lyrics, and promoted their policies everywhere.
Not to mention, the morale of the people in Baodu Mountain has been significantly higher during this period, and the relationship with the surrounding neighbors is also very harmonious.
This result inspired Cai Songnian. He came to Gao Chong to ask for instructions and report every day. He was very motivated and was now ready to send political workers to the army.
"Mr. Zhao, Marshal Du is here? There is no one else now. Please! I'll take it back." Cai Songnian was very polite, bowed his fists and stood up to say goodbye.
This made up her mind for Zhao Fujin, and she finally mustered up the courage to step into this door.
Gao Chong has seen Zhao Fujin's performance these days, and he is also avoiding it, afraid that Zhao Fujin will ask him to rescue his family. He really doesn't want to get involved in this Zhao family anymore.
