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

The veterans under Xu Ning's command were even more ferocious.

They slaughtered the fearless old Liao-Han soldiers until they surrendered in droves.

Seeing more and more deserters,

They escaped from behind them.

Wanyan Saba knew that the situation was hopeless.

He fled on horseback with a dozen or so personal guards.

If he doesn't run, he'll be caught in a pincer movement.

Along the central axis of Pingdingjun City,

Wanyan Saba ran wildly all the way.

He ordered the garrison north of the city to open the city gates.

These guys just crossed the moat.

The young Qiang general Yang Yun led his cavalry to attack.

Geng Zhongnian also led his cavalry to block the way ahead.

Cavalry Commander Chen Ziyi didn't move at all.

They only used binoculars to observe the situation.

More than two thousand Ming cavalrymen

They pursued and intercepted more than twenty Jurchen cavalrymen...

As we get older

Yang Yun had become even more robust.

The Southwest miniature horse beneath my crotch,

They were also replaced with magnificent Gansu-Qinghai horses.

Men wore sturdy armor, and horses wore horse armor.

They have transformed from light cavalry into elite cavalry.

More than two thousand Ming cavalrymen

They fired arrows at more than twenty Jurchen cavalrymen.

Arrows rained down, but the armored Jurchen cavalrymen were unharmed.

Most of his warhorses were hit by arrows.

The simple horse armor covered the vital parts.

The warhorse was not fatally wounded.

However, the pain and shock caused him great distress.

The cavalry also had to spare time to control and appease the enemy.

At this very moment,

The Ming cavalry charged forward in a swarm.

Yang Yun charged forward, gun in hand.

Wanyan Saba was so startled that he turned and fled.

They were then ambushed and killed by Geng Zhongnian's troops.

As the warhorses clashed,

Wanyan Saba was attacked from both sides.

narrowly avoiding a long spear.

But he was pierced by another spear.

Fortunately, the spear tip slipped when it touched the armor.

Wanyan Saba could still sit on horseback.

While still in shock,

Geng Zhongnian has already rushed over.

He swept his gun across the ground and knocked Wanyan Saba off his horse.

"Caught alive!"

Geng Zhongnian was overjoyed at his meritorious service.

When he reined in his horse and turned around,

But then Wanyan Saba was trampled to death by the warhorses that charged after him.

Yang Yun rode over on horseback.

He glanced at the corpse on the ground.

He pursed his lips and rode back to the moat.

There are more defeated soldiers here.

They fled the city in a panic.

Chapter 2007 Dividing the Troops

The merits were assessed after the war.

Wang De led his troops to be the first to scale the walls.

Xu Ning's troops captured the barbican.

And open the city gates as the second.

The troops of the brothers Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin

Helping Xu Ning break through the current situation is the third priority.

It's a matter of rewarding merit based on the number of people.

The Ming Dynasty never did that.

They are all based on military units.

Let's see what results were achieved.

Then a collective commendation was given.

Wang De is an exception.

His individual record is too outstanding.

To put it simply, it's divided into group practice and individual practice.

Most of the time, it's attributed to the collective effort.

Zhang Guangdao personally went to visit Wang De, and the military doctor said:

"General Wang suffered nine wounds,"

"But they were all superficial injuries,"

"The blades and spears didn't penetrate very deeply into the flesh,"

"It's nothing serious."

"That's good!"

Zhang Guangdao was even more pleased.

He patted Wang De's arm and said:

"What a hero!"

"I'll personally report your success."

Although Wang De was unruly,

But the head coach visited in person.

They also had to personally report their achievements.

How could he not understand? He happily cupped his hands and said:

"Which city should we attack next?"

"Just send me."

"We guarantee we'll take down the city walls."

"Alright, we won't forget you during the siege!"

Zhang Guangdao then asked Yao Pingzhong, "What position does Wang Zhuangshi hold?"

Yao Pingzhong said, "I made a meritorious contribution last year and became a centurion."

"He has rendered meritorious service again, and I intend to let him command five hundred men."

Zhang Guangdao nodded and said, "Commanding five hundred soldiers is more than enough."

“We can select brave and courageous men and form a vanguard battalion specifically for him.”

"The armor of these five hundred warriors,"

"I'll allocate the best one,"

"We'll have to rely on them to recover Shanxi in the future."

Wang De was even more delighted, finally knowing to express his gratitude:

"Many thanks to Commander Zhang and General Yao for your guidance!"

He offered a few more words of encouragement.

Zhang Guangdao then went to visit the other meritorious individuals and the wounded.

After Zhang Guangdao walked away,

Yao Pingzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was terrified that Zhang Guangdao would take away his fierce general.

The following day, Zhang Guangdao divided his troops into six thousand.

Let Zhai Xing take him back to assist Pharmacist Guo.

The remaining troops, part of which were stationed at the ruins of Zhao Jianzi City,

A unit stationed in Pingdingjun City,

The two cities can provide mutual support.

There are several Zhao Jianzi cities across the country.

This place is located to the west of Yangquan city.

A river valley connects to Shouyang, where Pharmacist Guo was stationed.

Six thousand elite troops returned to reinforce Shouyang.

Zhang Guangdao was no longer worried about that side.

He was unaware that Wanyan Zonghan had divided his forces and was attacking from the north.

He was too lazy to bother with Wanyan Zonghan.

Next plan,

Zhang Guangdao planned to defend Pingdingjun City.

Then they divided their forces to attack Chengtian Village.

They advanced all the way through Jingxing, threatening the capital of the pseudo-Song Dynasty, Zhen Ding Prefecture.
