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

"If you don't give the order,"

"I'll lead my troops and retreat!"

Wanyan Xiyin also turned and left.

It is estimated that he wanted to lead his troops in a retreat.

It is true that Wanyan Zongwang was a marshal.

However, his prestige was far inferior to that of Wanyan Zonghan.

He had a cooperative relationship with Wanyan Talan and Wanyan Xiyin.

"return!"

Wanyan Zongwang was seething with anger:

"The withdrawal of troops must also be discussed and agreed upon,"

"They cannot act independently,"

"Otherwise, it will turn into a rout!"

Wanyan Talan said, "Let the Han army cover our retreat; even if we are quickly routed,"

"The Han army soldiers scattered and fled."

"It can also hinder the Ming army's pursuit."

"If the Ming army can still pursue us,"

"Let the Bohai and Khitan troops cover the rear."

"It would be easier to control if more of these two races died."

Wanyan Xiyin said, "If the Ming army doesn't send many troops in pursuit,"

"Or perhaps the pursuit will cause chaos among the various units,"

"It would also allow the Jin cavalry to take the opportunity to attack back,"

"This battle might just be a chance to turn defeat into victory."

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Gunshots continued to ring out.

Wanyan Zongwang stared intently at those watchtower carts.

Full of resentment but with no way to vent it.

He simply couldn't think of a way to protect himself from firearms.

If the Ming army did not have firearms

How could the Jin army possibly be in such a predicament?

The Ming army was indeed composed of three heads and six arms.

They also couldn't quickly capture the city walls!

Withdrawal means removing the main force.

But how should we play from now on?

Unable to handle firearms

The Jin army was always on the defensive.

Wanyan Zongwang felt a wave of despair.

.....

"Marshal, run! The front lines have collapsed!"

Wanyan Chamu and Wanyan Xiyin had just left the city when

There wasn't even time to organize the evacuation of the troops outside the city.

The Jin soldiers on the city wall suddenly collapsed en masse.

Chapter 282 Facing the Jin Army

The two sides fought fiercely on the city wall, which was only a few meters wide.

The death of a commander in the rear command has little impact.

Because the Jin soldiers were facing them in the front row.

It is highly likely that no one knows who was killed next.

They only instinctively form ranks for battle.

At times like these, sniping frontline junior officers is a sure way to achieve this.

It was actually more effective than assassinating generals.

The Jin army collapsed this time.

It all stemmed from Liu Jizhong killing a junior officer.

In the event of the death of a junior commander

The Jin army was again advanced by the Ming heavy infantry.

Their formation faltered and they retreated in disarray.

The front-line general who succeeded Yelü Ma Wu

He was also a surrendered general from the Liao Dynasty, named Yelü Duo.

He learned from the experiences and lessons of the two people before him.

They never dared to show their faces again.

Crouching and hiding close to the parapet,

Experience the battlefield through firsthand accounts from close guards.

He then had a messenger wave a flag to give orders.

When the Jin army was defeated in battle,

Yelüduo has not yet responded.

The reserve team at the back also collapsed.

Even after collapsing, they still couldn't escape effectively.

Because of the horse path and the city wall further east.

A large number of reserve troops were also stationed there.

The routed Jin soldiers were in utter panic.

It recklessly charged towards friendly forces.

Despair seems to be contagious.

Squads of Jin soldiers turned and fled.

These Jin soldiers guarding the city,

Very few came from the Jurchen people.

The main ethnic group was the Khitan.

There are also many Bohai and Xi ethnic groups.

They could withstand flanking sniper fire and advance against heavy infantry from the front.

They have persisted until now and are now incredibly strong and brave.

Even if they were all replaced with Jurchen soldiers,

There probably isn't much difference.

Watching several groups of Jin soldiers flee in disarray,

Wanyan Zongwang hastily mounted his horse.

We rode our horses along the eastern city wall all the way to the northern city wall.

Then they ran from the horse path on the north city wall to the north city gate.

"Open the city gates immediately!"

With Wanyan Zongwang's roar,

The gates of the northern barbican and the outer city gates were opened one after another.

Wanyan Zongwang led his personal guards and charged straight out.

Then they crossed the river on the pontoon bridge in the northwest of Gaocheng.

After crossing the river, they did not run away again.

Instead, they raised a large flag and sounded horns to gather troops by the river.

Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Jiamu, Wanyan Talan, and others,

The plan was to retreat in an orderly manner outside the city.

The Jin troops defending the city collapsed prematurely.

They didn't have time to set up more.

First, let all the Han troops from Hebei hold the line.

He then turned and left with the Jin infantry and cavalry.

Those Han soldiers from Hebei weren't fools either.

They had already realized something was wrong.

Forced to proceed by the intimidation of the Jin soldiers.

When they saw the Ming army dismantle their chariot formation and charge out...

The Jin army and cavalry are withdrawing again.

Nearly 20,000 Han soldiers from Hebei immediately collapsed and fled.

There were many Han army generals,

Even with his direct subordinates,

Throw away your weapons and kneel down on the spot.

However, there were still too many routed Han soldiers in Hebei.

Even though their generals have surrendered,

But the soldiers still instinctively scattered and ran away.

Countless routed soldiers blocked the battlefield.

This severely hampered the Ming army's pursuit.

"Your Highness, this humble general requests permission to pursue and kill the enemy!" Wang Yan said, kneeling on one knee.

Zhao Yuan was still observing through his binoculars:

"Although the Jin infantry retreated in a very chaotic manner,"

"But the Jin cavalry remained calm and composed."

"These cavalrymen retreated in shifts,"

"Once our troops lose their formation during the pursuit,"

"The Jin cavalry will surely return with all their might."

"Order all units: the infantry should not pursue."

"Send cavalry to subdue the routed Han soldiers."
