Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Liang's strategy seems to be nothing more than attacking while the enemy is crossing the river.

The subsequent explosions can only be attributed to the application of new weapons.

Even the thickest skin can't condemn someone's use of new weapons as a conspiracy.

There are many skilled craftsmen among the people of the South.

New weapons are frequently invented.

There were already quite a few firearms.

However, its power was incomparable to that of today's artillery.

As for attacking while the enemy is crossing the river...

Currently, it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for our side.

If the entire Liao army crosses the river...

After that massive explosion

I'm afraid the fate of those 50,000 people wouldn't have been any different from the current outcome.

The earth-shaking force was enough to shatter the morale of the Liao soldiers.

Let all the warhorses go out of control.

Even if more people cross the river, it will only result in a rout.

Historically, when the Jin dynasty attacked Nanjing of the Liao dynasty,

When they reached Juyong Pass,

The Liao soldiers held out for a while longer.

The Jin soldiers were helpless.

Just as they were about to retreat,

A sudden earthquake,

This caused the Liao soldiers to quickly lose their fighting spirit.

They abandoned the pass and fled.

Only then were the Jin troops able to enter the Nanjing area.

They wiped out the last territories of the Liao Kingdom.

Yelü Dashi, prompted by Zhao Yuan,

Thinking of this,

He couldn't help but become suspicious.

Could it be that the Liang Kingdom deliberately allowed more than 10,000 people to cross the river?

They just wanted to show the Liao Kingdom the power of Liang Kingdom's new weapons.

Should we make them give up?

Emperor Yelü Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty on the opposite bank has already disembarked.

The once arrogant Liao generals were now all dejected.

Many people are still reeling from that earth-shattering explosion.

He looked distraught.

He changed his armor in the tent where his personal guards were always ready.

He arrived at the riverbank with a group of civil and military officials.

Prepare to speak with King Liang on the other side of the river.

Yelü Yanxi had completely given up on the idea of ​​heading south to attack the Liang Kingdom.

The cannons used by the Southerners were incredibly powerful.

You can see the huge crater created by the explosion on the other side of the river.

Chapter 1789 Explosion

He was also somewhat relieved at this moment.

If he crosses the river,

They might already be in grave danger.

The crater from the explosion was nearly a hundred feet deep.

It's not that the explosion itself was that powerful.

Instead, they detonated 500 kilograms of gunpowder in the tunnel.

Many tunnels were overturned.

Therefore, it appears that a crater nearly a hundred feet deep was blasted out.

Yelü Dashi saw Emperor Yelü Yanxi on the opposite bank.

They also thought they had found the answer.

The Liang Kingdom must be afraid of killing the Liao emperor.

This triggered a major war between the two countries.

The Central Plains are now in turmoil.

However, the Liang Kingdom was unable to wage a full-scale war against the Liao Kingdom.

Although the Liao Kingdom was also unable to wage a full-scale war against the Liang Kingdom.

However, if the emperor were killed by the Liang Kingdom...

Regardless of who succeeds to the throne

They could only send troops to attack the Liang Kingdom.

To avenge the former emperor

This is how you win people's hearts.

It is clear that the Liang Kingdom does not want to see this situation.

That's why only a portion of the troops were allowed to cross the river.

They were dealt a thunderous blow.

Yelü Dashi thought he had found the answer.

A smile appeared on his face as he chuckled.

"Your Majesty is joking,"

"The Liang Kingdom possesses such firearms,"

Why bother with any strategy?

After seeing the strength of the Liang Kingdom, Yelü Dashi...

The title was also changed.

Previously, he had always addressed Zhao Yuan by his given name.

Because he felt that the Liang Kingdom was essentially still the same bandit group from Liangshan.

The establishment of the state was only because the Southern Dynasty lacked capable officials.

They have absolutely no strength.

He didn't think Zhao Yuan had really become the king.

However, today's battle

Let him know that Liang Kingdom is no longer something that Liao Kingdom can easily conquer.

Under pressure from the Jin state,

The Liang Kingdom was even able to force them to sit down and talk.

Zhao Yuan did not deny the power of firearms.

After all, the smell of gunpowder permeating the battlefield speaks for itself.

Gunpowder was no longer a secret in this era.

He doesn't need to deceive himself.

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "That's right."

"You've seen the power of my Great Liang gunpowder,"

"If it's used for siege warfare,"

"In fact, no city can be defeated, and fortified cities and strategic passes will become meaningless."

"We have an alliance, so it wouldn't be right for me to march north and attack you,"

"Reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun that belong to the Han people."

"I didn't expect you to break the alliance first,"

"They came south to invade our dynasty."

"That suits me perfectly, hahaha."

After the Liao people established their state,

They admired Han Chinese culture.

The Southern Court system was modeled after the systems of the Tang and Song dynasties.

It can be said that the degree of localization is very high.

Most of the generals could understand Chinese.

Of course, there are very few people as proficient in poetry as Yelü Dashi.

After all, only a minority of Han Chinese are proficient in poetry.

Upon hearing the King of Liang acknowledge the power of firearms,

These Liao generals all breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, firearms are powerful,

But they always manage to come up with a solution.

If it really is divine punishment,

Then they'll have no choice but to sit and wait for their doom.

Yelü Dashi laughed and said, "If Your Majesty truly wishes to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun,"

"Why not let my entire army cross the river?"

"Defeat our Liao army."

"There are still over 30,000 troops of our Great Liao on the other side of the river,"

"If you cross the river, then it's open field combat,"

"We probably won't need firearms."

Zhao Yuan turned his head to look at the huge pit not far away.

It was a pity, though.

He didn't expect that after the gunpowder was placed in the tunnel...

The power is so great,

Moreover, he had never seen the power of 500 pounds of gunpowder exploding.

If the explosion is not very powerful,
