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

These gunmen who were assigned sniping missions,

They were selected from over six thousand people.

Each of them can hit the bullseye every time within forty meters.

"boom!"

Another shot rang out.

Liu Jizhong hit another reserve officer.

The attacking forces have already placed ladders on the city walls.

More infantrymen were hidden behind the parapet.

"Archery!"

Yelü Ma Wu heard the sound of the iron hooks of the siege ladder hitting the parapet.

He roared for the Khitan archers to fire.

His messenger also waved the command flag frantically.

More than thirty musketeers who had just finished loading their ammunition.

Seeing the defenders stand up and shoot arrows,

Immediately stop focusing on the reserves.

Instead, they targeted the nearest Khitan archers.

Twenty meters is too close.

There was only one musketeer.

He shot off target because he was too nervous.

All the other bullets hit their targets.

There were also Han soldiers from Hebei.

Upon receiving Yelü Ma Wu's order,

Go and lift the already boiling hot oil.

They were also exposed to the musketeers' line of sight.

After several gunshots,

Several oil pans were overturned on the ground.

The splattered boiling oil caused the Han soldiers to scream in agony.

Zhang Di's troops were originally defending the eastern city wall.

That place is now full of Jin soldiers attacking the camp.

The Ming army focused its attack on the southern city wall.

"You guys hurry over there!"

A Jin Dynasty officer came to relay the order.

Chapter 275 I'll Take the Blade for You

Zhang Di immediately led his troops...

Head to the corner of the east and south city walls.

More soldiers stood inside the city below the horse trail.

They also belong to the reserve team.

Where the Khitan troops could not hold out?

They then dispatched Zhang Di's troops to provide assistance.

Similarly, Kong Yanzhou's troops,

They were also transferred to the southwest corner of the city wall as a reserve force.

"Big brother, look over there."

Zhang Hao nodded.

Zhang Di turned his head to look.

Then they saw the Jin general, Wanyan Zongwang.

He was only twenty or thirty steps away.

He was directing the Jin troops outside the city to attack the Ming army camp.

Zhang Di shook his head and said, "Twenty or thirty steps is too far."

"The Jin marshal is now protected by elite troops,"

"We soldiers can't break through."

Zhang Hao said fiercely, "Let the Ming soldiers go first!"

"We will definitely be transferred to assist in defense,"

"Take advantage of the opportunity to attack when passing behind the Jin marshal!"

Even if we can't capture the Jin marshal,

"They could also risk their lives to create chaos on the city walls,"

"Those who survive will surely make great contributions."

"Those who get promoted while still alive,"

"We must take care of the family of our deceased brother!"

"If I die, I entrust my wife and children to you," Zhang Di said.

Zhang Hao said, "Don't worry, brother, you won't die."

"I'll take the knife for you."

Wanyan Zongwang feared that the Han army in Hebei would be cowardly in battle.

They sent people to bring over a great deal of silk and money.

They were placed in baskets on the streets inside the city walls.

Zhang Di and Kong Yanzhou's troops

Jin Dynasty officers came running.

Pointing at the wealth below, he shouted:

"You must defend the city and fight to the death,"

"Those riches are all rewards!"

"To die for the Great Jin!"

Kong Yanzhou immediately shouted.

His soldiers also joined in the shouting.

His eyes kept glancing at the valuables.

But they worried that the city could not be defended.

They're always thinking about running away and making a run for it.

Zhang Di also led his troops in shouting, "Defend to the death! Defend to the death!"

As for whom they would defend to the death...

Only they know the truth.

Wanyan Zongwang was standing on the city wall.

He issued orders to Wanyan Chamu outside the city.

The Jin troops outside the city were ordered to mobilize their forces.

They launched a fierce attack on the west side, which lacked trenches and fortifications.

Wanyan Chamu has already been mobilized.

Several thousand Jin Dynasty infantrymen and Han troops from Hebei,

They circled around to the west from the south of the Ming army's camp.

Thousands of Jin Kingdom cavalrymen provided cover for the infantry's movements with arrows.

Arrows flew from both sides.

The Hebei Han army, whose armor was incomplete, suffered the most casualties.

Once they reached the western defense line of the Ming army,

The Jin soldiers were so frustrated they almost vomited blood.

There are indeed no trenches or fortifications here.

But the vans that were brought in from the outside last night

Everything is piled up here.

Spread a layer of fodder as well.

They were secretly disguised as haystacks.

Li Yanxian stood on an earthen platform.

The flaws were spotted through the telescope.

He personally gave the order to his subordinate Yan Ping:

"You will lead five hundred cavalry into battle,"

"They rushed out through the southwest passage,"

"The Jin infantry and cavalry there have become disorganized."

However, this was a shift in the main attack direction of the Jin infantry.

During the troop deployment, the Han army in Hebei was in complete disarray.

Yan Ping led five hundred elite cavalrymen in a charge.

Li Jinyi, the infantry commander nearby,

Immediately instruct the infantry to coordinate.

Ming archers and crossbowmen fired in unison.

Several riflemen stepped forward and untied the iron chains from the wagon.

Remove the short spears stuck in the van.

Yan Ping led his cavalry through the infantry passages.

They marched towards the Hebei Han army, which had just been subjected to a barrage of crossbow fire.

This Hebei Han army was already in disarray.

They were subjected to successive attacks from crossbows and cavalry charges.

He was so frightened that he collapsed and fled.

The Han army soldiers were fleeing when...

It even caused a group of Bohai soldiers to lose their formation.

Wanyan Chamu hurriedly dispatched several detachments of Jurchen elite cavalry to reinforce the enemy.
