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

He had already observed through the telescope.

Knowing Sariho's location,

He ordered the soldiers to push him closer.

Sarihe is directing his troops to defend the city.

Standing behind the parapet,

There were also guards holding shields for protection.

However, his head was completely exposed.

Under normal circumstances,

There is no danger in this position.

"boom!"

A gunshot sounded,

Sariho fell to the ground in response.

This future Left Chancellor and Left Marshal of the Jin Dynasty

He died from gunfire without even realizing it.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

With Hua Rong's gunshot,

The remaining musketeers,

They also opened fire one after another.

The Jin soldiers who were defending the city

They started falling in large numbers.

Wanyan Zongwang was also on the city wall.

However, they avoided the siege site.

Otherwise, this guy might also capsize.

Hearing gunshots and screams,

Wanyan Zongwang turned his head and looked.

In the distance, no Jin soldiers were standing on the city wall.

Leaving aside those who were shot,

Those who were not hit were terrified.

They all crouched down and hid behind the parapet.

Several Jin soldiers came running up, tumbling and crawling: "Marshal, the Commander-in-Chief is gone!"

Wanyan Zongwang was dumbfounded.

.....

Sariho was shot and died.

This caused chaos in that section of the city wall.

Wanyan Zongwang was about to deploy his troops.

But then they saw that a general was already there.

He automatically stepped forward to take over command, and I couldn't help but praise him:

"Truly a fine general of our Great Jin!"

This general's name is Yelü Mawu.

Famous in history

He once led five hundred men south.

This frightened Zhao Gou so much that he fled Yangzhou.

He also defeated Wu Jie in Shaanxi.

Since they are very famous,

Many people will try to stage an accident to extort money from you.

In historical records only,

Yelü Ma Wu was captured by Niu Gao once.

He was killed again by Liang Xing in battle.

The battle reports provided by these two individuals,

These were all issued before Yue Fei became a general under him.

Moreover, Liang Xing only mentioned fighting Yelü Ma Wu.

In the end, it became known as "Array Slash".

Not only Song generals,

The Jin dynasty also liked to write short essays in its war reports.

Jin generals fought various battles and defeated Yue Fei.

If you only read the History of Jin

It's as if Yue Fei was an elite monster used by the Jin generals to rack up battle merits.

The Yue Family Army soldiers who were killed by them

Adding up all the battle reports,

It's estimated to reach several hundred thousand.

The garrison at Gaocheng was mainly composed of Khitan soldiers.

Therefore, Yelü Mawu was the deputy general in charge of defending the city.

He crouched down and quickly moved closer.

Command was carried out by messengers.

The officers in each location received the order.

Gradually reorganizing the troops,

All the frontline soldiers crouched close to the parapet.

Chapter 274 The Power of the Matchlock Gun

The Ming Dynasty musketeers have already loaded their ammunition.

Gunfire erupted again.

The top of the city wall, which is six or seven meters wide,

Not only were there troops defending against the parapets,

There was a reserve team on the opposite side of the parapet.

A gap was left in the middle to allow for the deployment of troops and supplies.

The watchtower was slightly taller than the city wall.

Although unable to attack the defenders crouching behind the parapet.

But the reserve troops lying in wait were within firing range.

Liu Jizhong used to be a hunter in the Jinzhou mountain area.

Zhao Yuan had not yet formally raised an army.

He was recruited to practice musketry in the mountains.

Unfortunately, he lacked knowledge and culture.

His ability to command troops was also poor.

Although his seniority is frighteningly high,

He now commands only five hundred musketeers.

His name when he first joined the army was Liu San.

He doesn't even have a proper name.

The name was chosen later with the help of a scholar.

"A large cart can carry a heavy load, and accumulated wealth will not be lost." — The Book of Changes.

"boom!"

Liu Jizhong pulled the trigger.

After a gunshot,

An officer from the city's reserve garrison fell to the ground.

After firing the shot, Liu Jizhong did not immediately reload.

Instead, he blew air towards the fuse.

To prevent the fire rope from accidentally going out.

He is very experienced.

Before the battle, light both ends of the match cord.

If one end goes out,

The other end is still usable.

Liu Jizhong, through his own practical experience,

He also had Zhao Yuan issue safety pins to each musketeer.

After every five shots

The fire door should be checked with a safety pin.

To prevent gunpowder residue from clogging the bullet and preventing it from firing.

The Ming army's musketeer units,

After the process of dispensing medicine in small bamboo tubes in measured quantities

In the end, they switched to paper-based gunpowder.

The cardboard was soaked in lard.

It can effectively prevent moisture.

When reloading,

They could even stuff cardboard into the gun barrel.

Press it down again with the spatula.

This method prevents downward firing.

The bullet rolled out of the gun barrel.

While operating the shovel,

Liu Jizhong was also observing the enemy's situation.

He was searching for the officers hiding among the soldiers.

Forty watchtower vehicles were manufactured this time.

It can accommodate a total of two hundred musketeers.
