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

"Run!"

Several people rushed towards the stairwell at the same time.

But only one person can pass through there at a time.

"boom!"

Another explosion.

Once again, no one survived the charge to the top.

The Jin general finally realized something was wrong.

He climbed the stairs himself, trembling with fear.

He peeked out but then quickly withdrew, screaming in terror:

"Get out!"

Similar things,

It happened on all the Linchong Lügong carts.

The elite Jin troops hidden within the fortified walls and parapets.

There were more than twenty teams in total.

They were terrified by the bombing and retreated.

Those Han and Bohai cannon fodder,

Already under attack and with low morale,

Seeing that the Jin army's elite troops were fleeing,

So they all fled in disarray.

"Suspension cable!"

The archer, whose arms were already aching,

He gritted his teeth and fired an arrow at the fleeing enemy.

The laborers came from the other end of the top of the city wall.

The officer urged them to come over and lower the basket.

Some laborers carried oil jugs and held torches.

Go and burn all of the enemy's siege equipment.

Other laborers collected arrows from below the city walls.

They even carried the stones and put them into baskets.

Laborers from the city carried baskets to collect the supplies.

The Jin soldiers had spent many days building siege weapons.

It was then burned to the ground by the Ming army.

Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Talan,

They all possessed telescopes made in Yanshan Prefecture.

They clearly witnessed several explosions.

"Should we continue the siege?" Wanyan Talan asked.

Wanyan Zongbi was also a devout Buddhist.

Even after winning a battle,

They also collect nearby Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures.

His mouth was dry as he asked, "Does the Ming army have the help of a thunder god or bodhisattva?"

The deities of Buddhism and Taoism

They absorb from each other.

When the Taoist thunder god merged with Buddhism, he became a protector of the Dharma.

Its image is that of someone holding drumsticks in both hands.

Behind him was a halo of light with many drumheads arranged in a row.

Wanyan Talan, however, was much more materialistic:

"Where did this Thor Bodhisattva come from?"

"It's clearly some kind of firearm!"

Chapter 3136 Let's Withdraw the Troops

Wanyan Zongbi forced himself to remain calm: "With these firearms, attacking a city will be even more difficult than before."

"Withdraw the troops,"

Wanyan Talan said,

"The armored soldiers sent out today,"

"They're all terrified,"

Even the most ruthless (big-faced) are forgiven!

"Tabuye is the number one warrior of the Bohai people,"

"He died from Ming army firearms,"

"I doubt any of the Bohai soldiers will dare to attack the city again."

Even if we launch a forced attack,

"And it will inevitably retreat very quickly."

"They came with a large force,"

"It consumed countless provisions,"

"Are we just going to retreat like this?"

Wanyan Zongbi was unwilling to accept this.

He spends most of his time in Beijing.

He rarely has the opportunity to lead troops alone.

What else can we do but withdraw?

Wanyan Talan questioned,

"Do not send elite troops to attack the city,"

"We simply can't break through."

"They sent elite troops to attack the city,"

"The Ming army also knows how to use those firearms."

Even if it drags on for another month or two,

"Bomb several sections of the city wall with artillery,"

"How did the Ming army, with their firearms, manage to breach the city?"

"Until the supplies are almost exhausted,"

"They might all be wiped out by then!"

Wanyan Zongbi calmed down and pondered repeatedly.

But I keep thinking about the explosion I saw through the telescope.

He clenched his fist in anger and said:

"Let's withdraw our troops together tonight,"

"I'll go back to Jinzhou, you go back to Youzhou,"

"We'll fight again when we have enough supplies!"

Two Jin armies,

They slowly retreated back to the main camp.

Wanyan Zongbi looked back every few steps.

He hoped the Ming army would leave the city to pursue and kill him.

I can take the opportunity to win in the field.

Then, the Ming army never came.

Li Bao only sent out some soldiers.

They led laborers to clean up the battlefield.

We'll wait until tomorrow to continue the siege.

Liu E also accompanied Wanyan Talan into battle this time.

Moreover, the Han soldiers under his command

One unit was even used as cannon fodder in the siege.

After returning to the main camp,

Liu E called his cousin Liu Ni over:

"Orders have been given to all departments to pack up their belongings."

"Retreat tonight."

"Go and prepare."

Liu Ni did not immediately accept the order and leave, but instead said:

"Brother, the Ming army's firearms are becoming increasingly powerful,"

"The Jin dynasty probably won't last long."

"Shouldn't we...?"

Liu E said, "When we return to Yanshan Prefecture,"

“I will write a letter to the Liangshan Emperor immediately.”

Liu Ni was then pleased:

"If the Jin people suffer a great defeat,"

"It is inevitable that all ethnic groups will be forced to relocate to Liaodong."

"By then, the population of Youyan will be sparse."

"The Ming Dynasty still needs to rely on our Liu family,"

"Otherwise, the Liangshan emperor will not be able to recruit soldiers in the north."

Liu E pondered, "That's not enough."

"We must find an opportunity to perform meritorious service for the Ming Dynasty,"

"Only by making great contributions can one gain the favor of the Liangshan Emperor."

"Why not assassinate Wanyan Zongwang?" Liu Ni suggested.

Liu E shook his head and said, "The risk of assassination is too great."

"If it were possible for the two armies to clash,"

"It would be best to defect on the front lines when the opportunity arises."

"If there's no chance to defect on the battlefield,"
