Chapter 99: Wanyan Wushu’s two dragons are invincible!

1128 AD, spring.

The Jin Kingdom set up a 200,000 army to go south, appointing Wanyan Nianhan as the marshal and Wanyan Wushu as the deputy marshal.

Wanyan Nianhan led the army on the east road into Yanjing, while Wanyan Wushu led the army on the west road into Datong Prefecture.

Their targets were Yue Fei's army in Hejian Prefecture and Shaohua's army in Zhending Prefecture. They could defeat them first and then defeat Erlong Mountain, and then take over the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, Yue Fei led Yue Fei's army to guard Hejian Prefecture, Shi Wengong led Shaohua army to guard Zhending Prefecture, and Bai Qi had returned to the north and led the western army to guard Taiyuan Prefecture, and Lin Chong led the Liangshan army to guard Qingyang Prefecture.

Yue Fei and Shi Wengong dealt with the Jin soldiers, Bai Qi and Lin Chong dealt with the Western Xia army.

As for the south, Erlong Mountain has occupied the north bank of the Yangtze River. The defense of the Southern Song Dynasty is coordinated by Zhuge Liang, as long as the key cities are guarded.

The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty ordered generals such as Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun to guard the south bank of the Yangtze River, waiting for Jin, Xia and Erlongshan to suffer losses and lead their troops to attack, hoping that a fisherman would benefit.

Of course, Zhao Gou was afraid of Erlong Mountain and was worried that he might fight Erlong Mountain first, which would anger Erlong Mountain and might be destroyed first.

Xia, Jin, Erlongshan, Zhao Gou dared not fight any of them now, and could only hope that they would die together.

Zhao Kuangyin, Zhang Hao and Jing Ke are now in Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, and Taiyuan Prefecture.

This war will determine the fate of the Jin Kingdom and Erlongshan.

Erlong Mountain uses defense instead of attacking, waiting for the arrival of the Jin and Xixia soldiers.

The Jin Kingdom and Xixia jointly sent troops to attack Erlong Mountain from four routes, targeting Hejian Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Taiyuan Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture.

About ten days later, Wanyan Nianhan led a large army to the outside of Hejian Prefecture City.

"Hmm? The city wall has been repaired?"

"It seems that it is not easy to capture this city!"

Outside the city, Wanyan Nianhan looked at Hejian City ahead and frowned.

Wanyan Xiyin beside him said, "Last year, the Shaohua army in Erlong Mountain destroyed 20,000 troops from our Jin Kingdom. Such an enemy will be fought no matter how hard it is to be fought!"

It used to be said that the Jurchens were invincible in the face of their troops, but last year it was broken by the Shaohua army.

"Arson advance!"

This time, the Jin soldiers prepared some artillery. Because they encountered artillery attacks from Erlong Mountain, the Jin Kingdom has been thinking about artillery for more than half a year, so they made some. There were also six or seven artillery pieces in Wanyan Nianhan.

On the city tower, Yue Fei, Zhao Kuangyin and others were watching the Jin soldiers deployed their troops.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the Jin soldiers also prepared some artillery. It seems that they were stimulated by us!"

Yue Fei nodded and said, "It is definitely not comparable to our artillery. They have entered the range of artillery on our city tower!"

Obviously, the range of the Jin soldiers' artillery was much shorter than that of Erlongshan, and was not at the same level.

The Jin soldiers also knew it, so they had heavy shield soldiers to cover the artillery forward.

However, they still don’t understand the terribleness of Erlong Mountain artillery.

"fire!"

Before the Jin soldiers could push the cannons into place, Yue Fei ordered the cannons on the city tower to fire.

boom!

Deafening sounds of artillery sounded, and the Jin soldiers within the range outside the city were hit, and dozens of Jin soldiers were killed.

"So far!"

Wanyan Nianhan stood up in surprise, "Why is the difference so big!"

Their artillery is compared with Erlongshan, and they are younger brothers, and they cannot be compared at all.

"There is no choice but to attack!"

Wanyan Xiyin's eyes were firm.

Wanyan Nianhan understood that they had no other choice.

Order to attack at all costs!

However, the subsequent casualties made them frightened.

On the other side of Yue Fei's army, there were solid iron bullets running from a long distance, and then some shotgun cannons were used, some rockets were used, and then there were bows and arrows.

These four waves caused heavy losses to the Jin soldiers who attacked them.

Seeing Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Xiyin were frightened.

Finally, a cannon of the Jin soldiers reached the range and successfully fired the cannon, and the solid iron bullet hit the city wall.

However, it only left a small pit!

"How is that possible!"

Wanyan Nianhan couldn't believe that they had tried their own artillery, and it was impossible for them to hit the city wall to have this destructive power.

"They have problems with the wall!"

Wanyan Xiyin saw the problem: "It seems that it is made of all stone bricks, so the artillery damage is limited, which is comparable to the walls of Bianjing City. They have achieved this level!"

Generally, the city walls are made of earth. There will be a layer of stone bricks outside the better city walls and soil in the middle. Only the city walls like Bianjing City are completely made of stone bricks!

Hejian City used to be just a stone brick on the outer layer, but now it has completely turned into stone bricks.

The city walls cannot be built with enough stone bricks. Without suitable clay bonding, it is unstable to pile them up. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it consumes more financial and manpower.

The Jin soldiers did not expect Erlong Mountain to do so.

However, they did not know that the new city wall was built with cement, stone bricks, red bricks, steel bars and other materials, and it was very sturdy.

Even Erlongshan’s own siege cannons are not easy to destroy, let alone low-level artillery like the Jin soldiers.

Because of the use of new firearms such as artillery, rockets, earth thunder, etc., this war became very strange, and the Jin soldiers could not defeat Hejian City at all!

"Their firearms are unique and powerful. If we continue, we will not be able to break the city!"

Wanyan Nianhan's face turned pale and he was no longer siege for the time being, and the losses in the siege were too great.

"Why don't you surround me for the time being and not attack me for the time being? Wait and see what happened on Wushu?"

"At present, Erlongshan has been prepared for it. If we want to defend the city, we cannot continue to attack."

Wanyan Xiyin suggested.

Wanyan Nianhan thought about it over and over again, agreed to Wanyan Xiyin's suggestion and ordered camping and besieging Hejian City.

"They seem to be ready to siege us."

On the city tower, Zhao Kuangyin smiled as he watched the movements of the Jin soldiers.

"Isn't this expected? Give them a surprise tonight!"

Yue Fei smiled, but thought in his heart how to kill the Jin soldiers tonight.

At night, the Jin army camp was on high alert, and it was a way to seek death if they wanted to attack the camp.

This is for the general army.

Zhao Kuangyin and Yue Fei first sent special forces to eliminate the sentries and spies of the Jin soldiers.

Then the cavalry advanced, carrying a large number of rockets and flintlock rifles.

Approaching the Jin army camp, launching the rocket first.

boom!

The rocket explodes, killing and injuring Jin soldiers, and can also burn tents.

When the Jin soldiers came, rows of flintlock gun troops were waiting for them, and they came to squeeze in waves.

Not long after the battle began, the artillery troops of Yue Fei's army arrived, and a burst of artillery bombarded the Jin soldiers to death.

"withdraw!"

I had never seen Yue Fei's combat method before. I was caught off guard and dizzy. Wanyan Nianhan had to take people to retreat.

On their way back, they kept stepping on earth and exploding constantly.

The Jin soldiers were frightened and broke down, feeling that Yue Fei's army was a demon and could not defeat it!

This time they deeply felt the horror from the firearm!

Although Wanyan Nianhan finally escaped, the Jin soldiers lost nearly half this time, and it was just the beginning!

Wanyan Nianhan escaped back to Yanjing City in a panic and was in a daze: "Erlong Mountain has a terrible firearm, it is invincible, it is invincible!"

In the next few days, almost the same scene continued to take place in Taiyuan City, Zhending City and Qingyang City.

The loss of Wanyan Wushu's attack on Zhending Prefecture was not much better than that of Wanyan Nianhan. The worst was that the two troops in Xixia lost most of the losses. They fled back to Xixia and defended the pass to prevent Erlong Mountain from attacking.

Later, after receiving the news, Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Wushu met in Yanjing.

"At the beginning, we lost half of it. We have never suffered such a defeat. It's hateful!"

Wanyan Wushu said angrily: "You can't fight like this. Erlongshan's firearms are too powerful and cannot be defeated at all. Even if they fight head-on, they have firearms, so we can't fight!"

Wanyan Nianhan said: "That's right, the strategy must be changed. Keep Yanjing and Xijing for the time being, and then find a way to obtain the method of making the Erlong Mountain Firearm.

Without that kind of firearm, we can't defeat Erlong Mountain!"

Wanyan Xiyin suggested: "We don't fight, but we can't let Erlong Mountain be idle. We send people to urge the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to start a war with Erlong Mountain, so that they can kill each other. We look for opportunities to attack or seize those firearms making methods!"
