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

This is also one aspect that attracts young people to join the military.

The unlimited main course has certainly attracted many big eaters.

Of course, most of these people are also strongmen.

The second year of the Tianqi reign

The Great Liang had an army of 500,000.

However, the military expenditure exceeded that of the Song Dynasty when it had a million miscellaneous soldiers.

If Zhao Yuan hadn't been appointed Minister of War,

It's likely that some people have already been urging the Ministry of War to cut military spending.

Chapter 1595 Bombing the Gate

In the third year of the Tianqi reign, the number of troops continued to increase.

It is foreseeable that military spending will reach another astronomical figure.

At the fourth watch of the night,

Shi Jin was then awakened by his personal guards.

They came out fully armed.

Five hundred soldiers for the night raid have assembled.

The black military uniforms allowed everyone to blend better into the darkness.

Shi Jin looked up at the sky.

It was another night when dark clouds obscured the moon.

You never know when a heavy snowfall might come.

However, tonight is perfect for a night raid.

The guards silently opened the gate.

The night raiding troops had just emerged from the pass.

Close the door immediately.

The group walked quietly through the valley.

We arrived at the iron gate very quickly.

The bonfires that had been lighting the way outside the iron gate had long since gone out.

Only a few torches remained stuck in the gate.

After the two countries demarcated their border in the second year of the Tianqi reign (1622)

They lived in peace for a long time.

The Jurchens' defenses gradually weakened.

Although a battle was fought today

The Jurchens didn't think the Han Chinese would dare to launch a sneak attack.

They simply lit a few more bonfires outside the pass.

However, after keeping watch for most of the night without any disturbance,

The Jin people became too lazy to leave the pass and make another campfire.

It's impossible to open the door at night.

The only way to get up and down is by using a suspended basket.

We need to find something that burns longer.

The Jurchens were never a hardworking people.

Moreover, the garrison commander also said...

The Han Chinese military discipline was much stricter than theirs.

Daring to leave the city and attack Wanyan Zonghan was already incredibly bold.

They will certainly not launch another rash attack on the Iron Gate Pass.

Zhang Shisan, carrying a satchel charge, crawled to the door.

Place the explosive charge.

Then he lit the tinderbox.

"laugh!"

The fuse made a slight sound when lit.

However, under the cover of the howling wind,

Besides Zhang Shisan in front of him

Nobody can hear you.

Zhang Shisan saw that the gunpowder pack was already lit.

They didn't retreat either.

Stand up and slip to the base of the wall.

Cover your ears with both hands.

He crouched low and quickly moved to the side to avoid them.

After running several meters,

Then there was a loud bang behind us.

The ground shook slightly.

Even though cotton balls were already stuffed into her ears

They were still covering their ears.

Zhang Shisan's head was still ringing from the shock.

Shi Jin, taking advantage of the firelight from the explosion,

The city gate was blown to pieces.

He lowered his hands from his ears and shouted.

"Light the torches and follow me to kill!"

The Jin soldiers at the pass were all stunned and disoriented.

Seeing torches being lit outside,

I don't know how many people rushed into the pass.

He hurriedly drew his bow and shot an arrow.

Unexpectedly, just as he leaned out,

Countless arrows shot out from the darkness.

A calculated move by the unintentional

Instantly, the few Jin soldiers at the pass were riddled with arrows.

The hidden archers wiped out the Jin soldiers at the pass.

They all followed Shi Jin and rushed inside.

This loud noise

This also startled the sleeping Jin soldiers awake.

One by one, they howled, grabbed their weapons, and ran outside.

They didn't even bother to put on their clothes.

If it is a Han Chinese,

He ran out naked in the middle of the night in November.

It was frozen stiff.

Let alone fighting.

However, these golden statues were not significantly affected.

They howled and rushed toward the closing door.

Fearing that the warhorse would be frightened,

The soldiers of Daliang all came on foot.

However, Shi Jin's pace was not much slower than that of his warhorse.

Rao is so,

Shi Jin charged into Guanzhong.

He could already see dozens of naked Jurchens rushing towards him.

Shi Jin, however, did not bring his three-pointed double-edged sword.

He simply carried a waist knife at his waist.

However, what he has in his hand now is a fire bomb.

A tinderbox,

Seeing that the Jin soldiers had already gathered,

You're welcome,

The fire and thunder were ignited immediately.

Throw them into the Jin soldiers' ranks.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The guards behind them continued to throw firecrackers and torches.

While bombing the Jin people,

On one hand, they set fire to the houses in Guanzhong.

To prevent the Jurchens from hiding in a corner and launching a sneak attack.

However, the Jurchens were fierce.

They were all naked and carrying knives.

No one is hiding inside the house shooting arrows.

Of course, they don't have that kind of brain.

For the simple-minded Jurchens,

They could defeat the Han people with just a knife.

This also made Shi Jin and his team's work much simpler.

After throwing away the fire grenade he was carrying,

Then the person behind throws it.

Everyone threw fire bombs together.

It would waste fire and mines,

It's also easy for accidents to happen.
