"If it were flat and open outside,"
"Even ten cannons can't cover much area."
Shi Jin thought for a moment,
"General Shi is right,"
"But with cannons,"
"Our Gubeikou was a fortress that could be held by a single cannon shot,"
"There's no way to get through here. I wonder who was killed in the explosion just now."
Shi Xiu laughed and said, "There must be several commanders."
"Perhaps there's also Bojilie,"
"Wait until the intelligence department verifies it,"
"Then we can claim credit."
.....
Wanyan Zhamu happened to be in the rear army.
He did not go to the front lines with Wanyan Gao.
A deafening roar was heard.
Then the vanguard retreated in defeat.
They hurriedly sent men to regroup the vanguard.
I heard that the Liang dynasty had powerful firearms that could fire more than two miles away.
More than a dozen generals from the imperial clan, including Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongpan, were killed in battle.
Naturally, I don't believe it.
They immediately sent a troop of soldiers to probe again.
Seeing that the cannons had completely sealed off the valley,
After hesitating for a while,
They immediately withdrew their troops and retreated to Beian Prefecture.
They also sent people to Huining Prefecture to get advice.
The routes from Gubeikou and Yuguan were defensive.
The other force, led by Hua Rong, was on the offensive.
Moreover, it was wildly radical.
After the battle report of Wanyan Zongwang's attack on Yuguan reached the grassland route,
Hua Rong immediately led his troops straight to Linhuang Prefecture, the former capital of the Liao Kingdom.
Wanyan Yu has also led his troops to Linhuang Prefecture.
He knew that the Jurchens' strength lay in their ability to charge into battle.
Instead of defending the city.
Therefore, facing 110,000 troops on the grassland road
Wanyan Yu boldly chose to leave the city to meet the attack.
The vassal army along the grassland road also received weapons allocated by the Ministry of War.
However, the imperial court lacked sufficient armor.
They were only equipped with leather armor and horse-slaying swords.
After the grassland road was established in Daliang,
The conflicts between the various departments continue.
Tribal warfare is frequent.
People died or were injured.
The imperial court did not interfere in the internal strife among the various departments.
However, it is strictly forbidden for large tribes to annihilate or annex small tribes.
If it weren't for Hua Rong suppressing the rebellion as the General of the Grassland Road,
The 100,000 vassal troops had already broken into a chaotic battle.
When the two armies clashed,
The problem of vassal armies was thus exposed.
None of the units wanted to fight to the death.
They all wished the enemy tribes would all be wiped out.
One hundred thousand barbarians were actually scattered by twenty thousand Jurchen soldiers.
They fled more than thirty miles.
If Wanyan Yu hadn't been worried about being surrounded and annihilated by various tribes if he ventured deep into the grasslands...
The Jin army could probably pursue them relentlessly to the ends of the earth.
Hua Rong also understood the grassland's intentions.
The main force in this decisive battle was composed of various barbarian tribes.
None of his ten thousand cavalrymen participated in the battle.
After seeing the defeat of each unit,
They also withdrew from the battlefield immediately.
After the Jin soldiers stopped their pursuit,
Hua Rongcai then ordered the retreating soldiers to be gathered together.
Summon the leaders of all departments.
The leaders of each tribe came before Hua Rong.
They then began to complain about the other tribes fleeing.
This inspired the warriors of their tribe.
Chapter 1612 Vassal
"Shut up."
Hua Rong shouted loudly.
Staring at the leaders of each department,
"100,000 versus 20,000,"
"They were utterly defeated and killed."
"This is a defeat that the Great Liang has never suffered before,"
"This defeat was not because you were no match for the Jin soldiers,"
"But some people want to preserve their strength,"
"Disobeying orders and deserting in the face of battle."
As he spoke, he pointed to a tribal chief and said,
"Tell me, what is the punishment for desertion in the face of battle?"
The tribal chief whose name was mentioned changed his expression.
After joining the vassal army, they all studied the military discipline of the Great Liang.
"The death penalty doesn't belong to us..."
"Shut up."
Hua Rong shouted, "You haven't received orders to retreat!"
"Even if only one person is left, we will fight."
"Anyone who deserts in the face of battle will be executed without mercy."
"Remembering the first time you fought for my Great Liang,"
"Reduce the punishment. One out of every ten men in each unit shall be executed."
"If they commit this offense again, the entire army will be executed."
When the leaders of the various tribes heard Hua Rong say that one out of ten people would be killed, they were shocked.
Several people immediately shouted.
Seeing that someone dared to object, Hua Rong shouted.
"Take them all down."
Upon hearing Hua Rong's order, the surrounding guards
They immediately pounced on the tribal chief.
A tribal chief saw that Hua Rong's face was full of murderous intent.
He drew the curved sword from his waist.
They then engaged in a fierce battle with Hua Rong's personal guards.
The other tribal leaders hesitated for a moment.
They dared not surrender without resistance.
They drew their swords and began to fight Hua Rong's personal guards.
However, they did not bring any guards.
They were quickly surrounded by Hua Rong's personal guards.
The tribal chiefs all howled.
We hope other tribal leaders can help us.
Hua Rong glared at the tribal leaders with murderous intent.
"Who would want to rebel?"
He never had a good impression of the various tribes on the grasslands.
After receiving Zhao Yuan's secret order to reduce the population of various tribes,
They became even more emboldened.
Those who are obedient can even become the knives in his hands.
He will show no mercy to those who resist.
The leaders of the various departments saw that Hua Rong seemed determined to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
They all lowered their heads to avoid Hua Rong's gaze.
They left their guards outside when they arrived.
If a conflict really breaks out
The Han people will surely be able to kill them all before their guards rush in.
Hua Rong saw that no one else was jumping out.
He nodded in satisfaction.
"Marhus".
Upon hearing this, the Kereit chieftain, Marhus, immediately cupped his hands and said...
