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

After thinking for a moment, Ayane Yuki said...

"These firearms also need to be lit, right?"

Konoe thought for a moment,

Indeed, he saw a tinderbox in the left hand of the King of Liang, and nodded.

"Yes."

Ayane Yumei said, "It needs to be lit."

"They can only throw them; these firearms are no better than bows and arrows."

"Once the two armies engage in battle, this type of firearm becomes unusable."

"As long as the soldiers no longer fear this kind of firearm,"

"In a battle between two armies, it would be easy for our troops to defeat a band of bandits."

Upon hearing this, Li Qianshun suddenly realized what was happening.

"That's what the Chancellor said,"

"There's really nothing to be afraid of."

"When the two armies face each other and engage in battle,"

"Even a bow and arrow can only fire three rounds,"

"I'm afraid we can't even throw two of these firearms."

"But how can we make the soldiers fearless?"

"Firearms with a thunderous sound,"

"That still sounds pretty scary."

Wei Ming'an shook her head and said, "For now, we can only tell the soldiers that Liang has this kind of firearm."

"After several battles, the soldiers have seen it all and are no longer afraid."

"However, for this first time, only the Six Guards of the Imperial Enclosure and the Iron Falcons can serve as the vanguard,"

"Otherwise, the collapse of the vanguard could very well lead to the collapse of the entire army."

Li Qianshun frowned and said, "Even heavy armor cannot defend against firearms."

"Wouldn't sending them into battle just result in the needless loss of a number of people?"

One of the barbarian generals said, "How about we capture a group of Han Chinese civilians and let them charge into the enemy lines?"

Ayane Yui shook her head and said, "No."

"We want to make this land our territory,"

"We can no longer treat Han people as slaves,"

"And if the Han people also regard firearms as divine thunder,"

"Wouldn't this undermine morale again?"

"This old minister believes it would be best to use the Iron Falcons as the vanguard."

"As long as they forge ahead, they can boost morale."

"Once the two armies clash,"

"The soldiers will then discover that the Liang Kingdom is nothing but a rabble."

Li Qianshun thought for a moment

Finally made up my mind.

"Alright, then let Iron Falcon lead the vanguard."

"Then everyone gave instructions regarding the firearms of the Liang Kingdom."

"We need to prepare the soldiers mentally."

Ayane Yuki suddenly looked at Konoe and said,

Will the warhorse be frightened?

"Even warhorses several dozen feet away would be startled,"

"The explosion was much louder than the sound of war drums."

Li Qianshun nodded and said, "Have Iron Falcon plug the ears of both men and horses."

Li Qianshun is a person who is good at enduring hardship.

He is also a very patient person.

Although they received the bad news

They patiently watched as the main force attacked Deshun's army.

One of the generals thought he had grasped Li Qianshun's thoughts.

He jumped out and said, "This humble general is willing to lead his troops to launch a strong attack on Deshun Army."

Li Qianshun shook his head and said, "It's getting late."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat Deshun Army today,"

"A night attack would result in too many casualties,"

"It's not worth the loss. There aren't many Western Army soldiers left in the city,"

"Even if they stay, they can't cause any trouble."

"Our greatest enemy now is the army of Liang,"

"After defeating the Liang army,"

"It's not too late to come back and take Deshun Army later."

Wei Ming An Hui saw that Li Qian Shun was very rational.

I can finally relax.

Although Chage and the king were not blood brothers,

But they are closer than brothers.

Without Chage's help,

Li Qianshun also found it difficult to regain military power from the confidants of Empress Dowager Liang.

He might die of melancholy like his father, Emperor Huizong (Li Bingchang).

Chapter 1850 Encirclement and Suppression

The father and son could be said to have had similar experiences.

The court was controlled by the Empress Dowager.

However, Li Bingchang was never able to personally lead a military campaign throughout his life.

He died of depression at the young age of twenty-seven.

However, Li Qianshun received help from the Liao Kingdom.

The Empress Dowager Liang above their heads is an aunt and niece.

In order to maintain her family's control over the court, Empress Dowager Liang...

She married her niece to Li Bingchang.

This refers to Empress Dowager Liang during the reign of Li Qianshun.

The aunt and niece controlled the Western Xia for decades.

As darkness fell,

Li Qianshun then ordered the troops to withdraw.

Back to the main camp,

Yasuhime then went to the lord's tent.

Seeing Li Qianshun sitting there with his head down, he advised,

"With the nation in peril, we urge the King to take heed."

Li Qianshun raised his head.

"Does the Chancellor think we can't win?"

Weiming Anhui shook her head and said, "I don't know either, maybe it's fifty-fifty."

"But even if we win,"

"It would be difficult for them to occupy the six routes in Shaanxi."

"The Liang Kingdom possesses such formidable firearms,"

"I believe it won't be long before we can unify the Central Plains."

"At that time, given the national strength of the Central Plains,"

"With the added power of firearms, it will be very difficult for us to defend the six routes in Shaanxi."

Li Qianshun slammed his fist on the command desk, saying resentfully,

“The Chancellor is right, but in any case,”

"I also want to avenge Brother Cha."

...

The following day, when news arrived that the Liang army had used gunpowder to breach the Sanchuan stronghold,

Li Qianshun could no longer remain calm.

They quickly summoned Ayane Anke to discuss the matter.

Wei Ming An Hui was astonished to learn that the firearms of the Great Liang Dynasty could actually blow through the gate walls.

He also looked astonished.

After a moment of stunned silence, he said,

"The Liang Kingdom possesses such firearms,"

"From now on, fortified cities and strategic passes will be meaningless."

"We can only engage in open battle with the Liang Kingdom."

Li Qianshun, somewhat guilty, said, "Its power is so great..."

Would plugging your ears help?

Even Anae Yukina lost confidence.

"It would be better to use the six guards within the defensive perimeter to launch a surprise attack on the Liang army,"

"Catch them off guard,"

"To prevent them from having the opportunity to use firearms."

"The Liang army is nothing but a band of bandits,"

"Without firearms, five thousand elite cavalry are enough to defeat them."

Li Qianshun said, "The Liang Kingdom has 70,000 troops."

"Five thousand people might be too few,"

"Add another ten thousand cavalry,"

"Let's see the strength of the Liang Kingdom's army."

Ayane Yui knelt on one knee and said,

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops to investigate this matter."
