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

It was only with the support of Yelan Wanyan that he made up his mind.

Wanyan Xishi died of illness this time.

He was the son of the previous chieftain of the Yelan Wanyan tribe.

As for the current chieftain of the Yelan Wanyan tribe...

His name is Wanyan Zhong.

When the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty last time,

They came under the command of Wanyan Zongwang.

This time, however, he did not lead his army south.

Wanyan Zhong stayed in Harbin.

It sways back and forth, making it unclear which faction it belongs to.

The internal strife within the Jin Dynasty is extremely severe.

Wanyan Zhong is preserving his strength.

Half of the Yelan Wanyan tribe's forces remained unmoved.

The pretext was that they were suppressing a rebellion by the Bohai people.

"Call Puli Tie here."

"Yes!"

Wanyan Pulidie was the grandson of Wugunai and the third son of Aliheman.

Puli's second brother was named Wanyan Wolun (Wanyan Yan).

Currently serving as a courtier in Harbin.

He was a pawn that Wanyan Zonghan placed in the Jin Dynasty court.

"marshal!"

Puli rushed to the commander's tent to pay his respects.

Wanyan Zonghan said, "The Privy Councilor has died of illness."

"You go back and take charge of Yunzhong,"

"Let's make sure there's no more trouble in the rear."

Puli asked in surprise, "How could he have died so suddenly?"

Wanyan Zonghan said, "He was already ill before this expedition."

"But we didn't tell anyone outside the family."

"Don't wait any longer,"

"We'll rush back tonight."

"it is good!"

Puli led several dozen light cavalrymen...

He rushed back to the Privy Council in Datong overnight.

He is both a fierce general and

He is also quite proficient in domestic affairs.

He once submitted a memorial to abolish the Jin dynasty's custom of burying warhorses with the dead (at the time, he lacked the ability to write the memorial well, and it was Wanyan Zonghan who helped him revise it).

After Puli left

Wanyan Zonghan didn't sleep for long.

Several more fast horses galloped in.

The personal guard entered the commander's tent and whispered:

"A major defeat has been suffered at the front, with tens of thousands of soldiers lost."

"what?"

Wanyan Zonghan was so startled that he was wide awake.

They quickly called in the messenger.

Those sent to deliver the message

It was Wen Dusizhong.

Wanyan Zonghan said sternly, "How our army suffered such a crushing defeat!"

"Tell me in detail!"

Wendu Sizhong has an amazing memory.

Strong language organization skills

The process of several battles was described in great detail.

The battle where heavy cavalry charged against each other.

He was in charge of scouting the escape route.

But after questioning the Jurchen soldiers...

At this point, you can also give a detailed account.

After hearing this, Wanyan Zonghan was somewhat incredulous:

"When those cannons were firing,"

"Our charging cavalry have all fallen?"

"Those who charged in the first few dozen steps,"

“Only a few will escape unscathed,” Wendu Sizhong said.

Wanyan Zonghan then asked, "On horseback, how do you fight in open terrain?"

"Ming cavalry dare to engage in close combat?"

Wendu Sizhong nodded: "Yes."

Wanyan Zonghan asked again: "In the valley, should we use heavy cavalry to advance and charge through the walls?"

Wendu Sizhong said, "According to our soldiers,"

"Those Ming heavy cavalry were also afraid,"

"Everyone slowed down as they got closer."

"But they did dare to breach the wall,"

"They're lined up even more densely than us,"

"They were rushing towards us with the intention of crashing into each other and killing us all."

Wanyan Zonghan was silent for a moment, then asked:

"How is the morale of our troops?"

Chapter 239 Firing of Artillery

"Morale is low,"

Wendu Sizhong said,

"The Ming army fired a volley of cannon fire,"

"Let them be terrified,"

"Then the cavalry suffered two more defeats."

"They even split their forces to cover the rear and fled in disarray."

"Having gone through so much, the entire army is utterly demoralized,"

"Currently, we have retreated to Meng County for rest and reorganization."

"Some tribal leaders are making a fuss about going back to their hometowns."

Wanyan Zonghan was furious: "It's just a defeat!"

"He's actually insisting on going home,"

"Utterly foolish and cowardly!"

Wendu Sizhong said, "They were frightened by the Ming army's firearms and heavy cavalry."

"The Ming Dynasty has a large population and vast territory, so our Great Jin Dynasty is unlikely to achieve a quick victory this year."

"If this drags on until next year or the year after, who knows how many cannons the Ming army will have built,"

"I wonder how many heavy cavalry the Ming army can train."

"The leaders of each department have thought about these things,"

"Why would anyone want to fight the Ming Dynasty again?"

"That's precisely why we need to strike hard next,"

"We cannot give the Ming Dynasty more time to manufacture firearms and train cavalry!" Wanyan Zonghan roared.

He handed the army over to his deputy.

He only brought a few hundred cavalrymen.

They rushed to Yu County overnight.

At dawn, Wanyan Zonghan met Wanyan Loushi.

He immediately questioned, "Can you still fight?"

Wanyan Loushi said, "We can fight!"

He then added, "But Heza Meng'an lost his main battle horse."

"When they don their armor and go into battle again,"

"I'm afraid the fight can't last that long."

"Couldn't you have let Heza Meng'an remove his armor before retreating?"

Wanyan Zonghan said angrily.

Wanyan Loushi said, "The Ming cavalry are in hot pursuit."

"Once the armor is removed from Hezha Meng'an,"

"Those Ming soldiers will surely pursue us desperately and fight a bloody battle."

"We will no longer give Hezhameng'an time to don his armor."

"Their main infantry force is also in pursuit,"

"If we are held up by the Ming cavalry,"

"Our army is very likely to be completely wiped out."

"We can only send Hezha Meng'an to march in armor,"

"The Ming army is closing in,"

"Let Heza Meng'an rush back to ambush and kill them."

"This repeated the impact several times,"

"The entire army finally arrived safely at the point where they crossed the mountain."

"But Heza Meng'an's warhorses were all exhausted,"

"With foam at the mouth, it's difficult to continue crossing the mountain ridge."

"I must order those warhorses to be killed,"
