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

Chapter 1615 A ​​Great Defeat of the Jin Army

Hua Rong followed Zhao Yuan's orders.

Ten strings of cash will be awarded for each Jurchen head taken.

Five strings of cash were captured.

Although the various tribes of the grasslands were barbaric...

But we also know which is more and which is less.

All they brought back were half-bald heads; there were no prisoners.

That night, reports from various departments indicated that more than 17,000 people had been beheaded.

Only a little over two thousand people did not escape back to Linhuang Prefecture after the grassland battle ended.

They immediately fled backwards.

More than 10,000 people were also killed or wounded in various parts of the grasslands.

Including those Hua Rong had previously killed,

After capturing Linhuang Prefecture,

Of the original 100,000 vassal troops, only 70,000 remained.

The army rested for one night at Linhuang Prefecture.

They did not march south to attack Zhongjing Road.

Instead, they headed east directly towards Huining Prefecture, the capital of the Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Wuqimai was originally waiting for someone from the front lines to send back gold, silver, or beautiful women.

Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zongwang's troops arrived in less than ten days.

So they sent someone back to complain.

Please ask Bo Jilie to withdraw his troops.

This army can be considered Wanyan Aguda's direct subordinates.

The three brothers, Wanyan Zongwang, were also in command of the troops.

Wanyan Wuqimai had no doubt about their fighting ability.

Chancellor Wanyan Zonggan was also aware of his three younger brothers' martial prowess.

Upon seeing Wanyan Zongwang say that he couldn't take Yuguan Pass,

They hesitated.

The two hadn't made up their minds yet.

News came back from Gubeikou.

Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zongpan, and more than a dozen others were killed by the Liang cannons.

The Jin dynasty had never suffered so many casualties among its royal family members since its founding.

Now the two of them realized the power of the Liang dynasty's firearms.

I just ordered both armies to withdraw.

That very night, Wanyan Yu led several dozen remaining soldiers back in a hasty retreat.

The patrolling soldiers were still in shock from the disheveled state of Wanyan Yu and his entourage.

They then discovered that the Prime Minister, Wanyan Zonggan, was also rushing towards the palace with his men.

The palace, which had long since been quiet, was once again brightly lit.

Wanyan Wuqimai, Wanyan Zonggan, and Wanyan Yu gathered together.

The five Bojilie after Aguda's death

Both Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Gao died at Gubeikou.

The three of them discussed the important matters of the Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Zonggan still looked at Wanyan Yu in disbelief.

"Only a few dozen of the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers returned?"

Wanyan Yu said, "There might still be some people who escaped."

"But not too many, I'm afraid it will delay important matters,"

"They ran back day and night,"

"I don't know what will happen next."

Wanyan Wuqimai also said with a headache,

"Are the barbarians of the grasslands more powerful than us Jurchens?"

Wanyan Yu said, "Their horsemanship is better than ours."

"They fight just as fiercely as we do,"

"And they now possess the armor and weapons of the Great Liang,"

"Their weapons are no worse than ours."

"In the first battle, I led my troops into open field combat with them,"

"No one in the grassland tribes wanted to exert themselves to the death,"

"I chased him for thirty miles."

"I didn't expect them to fight to the death when they came back the next day,"

"Twenty thousand Jurchen soldiers couldn't even break through their defenses,"

"Finally, they were surrounded."

"If the fighting continues,"

"They'll definitely be wiped out by the barbarians,"

"I had no choice but to order a breakout to Linhuang Prefecture."

"The gunpowder used by the Han people was also formidable."

"They blew up the city wall in one go,"

"I can't keep watch,"

"Then they fled back with their men."

"This battle cannot continue."

"Otherwise, who knows how many more barbarians the Great Liang could have summoned."

Chapter 1616 Gunpowder

Wanyan Wuqimai nodded and said, "I have already ordered the other two armies to retreat."

"Xieye and Puluhu were both killed by Han Chinese cannons."

"The Han people had firearms that could fire from more than two miles away,"

"Xie Ye and his group went to observe the battle and were immediately blown up."

He shook his head and said, "I didn't expect the Han people's spaceship to be breached so easily."

"Gunpowder is indeed very powerful."

Wanyan Yu said with a worried expression, "I hope those two armies can retreat safely."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to stop the troops on the grassland road."

Wanyan Zonggan said, "Only 10,000 Bohai and Han soldiers died on Wulibu's (Zongwang's) route."

“Few died along the Xieye route,”

"It should be possible to return it."

Wanyan Wuqimai frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be returned."

"Da Liang won't give up either,"

"The barbarian soldiers on the grasslands alone are difficult to deal with,"

"If the Great Liang were to send another 100,000 Han soldiers,"

"We're having a bit of a struggle."

Wanyan Yu said, "The Northeast is bitterly cold."

"The Great Liang probably won't send too many Han Chinese to attack us,"

"But I don't know what happened after the barbarian soldiers on the grassland road attacked Linhuang Prefecture,"

"Where will they attack? If they attack Zhongjing,"

"We'll recall our troops,"

"We can go and take it back."

"I'm afraid they'll come directly to attack Huining Prefecture,"

“Jam can’t be brought back all at once.”

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Wugumai

His expression changed as well.

"Huining Prefecture only has 10,000 Jurchen soldiers left,"

"It would be terrible if the barbarians attacked."

"No, we must get the mother back as soon as possible."

On this point,

Neither Wanyan Yu nor Wanyan Zonggan had any objections.

Wanyan Yu hesitated for a moment,

"If we seek peace with the Liang Kingdom,"

Will Liang withdraw its troops?

If it were before,

Wanyan Wugumai and Wanyan Zonggan would definitely point their fingers at Wanyan Yu and curse him.

They might even end up throwing punches at each other.

In recent years, they have been virtually invincible.

They had long forgotten the days when they had to make the beauties of their tribe sleep with the Liao people.

However, both routes of attack encountered obstacles.

The defending flank was completely wiped out.

It brought them to their senses.

Wanyan Zonggan said, "Now they have the bigger fist."

"I'm afraid they won't agree."

Wanyan Wuqimai gritted his teeth and said, "Let's give it a try."

"This time, 20,000 Jurchens were lost,"

"More than a dozen of them died."

"If the fighting continues, I'm afraid it won't just be the Bohai people and the Han people who will harbor rebellious intentions,"

“Other Jurchen tribes may not be willing to fight us to the death.”
