"The imperial court has sent elite troops to reinforce us again,"
"That's how those unruly people were finally suppressed."
"Don't look at the enemy troops guarding the Great Wall,"
"Last year they were all ordinary people,"
"They'll bite if you push them too far."
No one is reflecting on why people of all ethnicities are fighting so hard.
In their established mindset,
It is perfectly normal for ordinary people to be exploited and oppressed.
Ordinary people are simply tools used to grow food.
Civilians were simply cannon fodder conscripted into war.
If it forces the common people to revolt
Simply send troops to suppress it.
If we kill a few more people, no one will dare to rebel.
Even today, there are still Jurchen people...
They were slaves to wealthy Bohai people.
The Jin dynasty court allowed Jurchen slaves to redeem themselves.
Or they could capture prisoners from other tribes and exchange them for Jurchen slaves.
It was merely to increase the population of the Jurchen people.
The establishment of a political power did not liberate their own people.
They treated all the lower-ranking Jurchen people this way.
Let alone people of other ethnic groups.
"Should we withdraw our troops?" Wanyan Gushahu asked.
Wanyan Zongfu said, "I will send someone to Jinzhou first."
"Find out whether Wuzhu's entire army was wiped out."
He didn't need to send anyone to inquire.
Wanyan Zongbi quickly dispatched a messenger.
With slight modifications to the details, the general outline of the battle was described.
Wanyan Zongfu summoned his generals again:
"Wuzhu's side encountered a new type of firearm. It's round,"
"It's almost the size of a head; it could explode if thrown."
Chapter 3147 The Power of Thunder and Fire
"Its sound was like thunder, with flashes of fire and smoke."
“大捑褪撬烙误宋铮�
"Both legs were blown off."
"There are also many elite troops who have scaled the city walls,"
"His head was blown apart by this thing."
"Wuzhu called this firearm an iron fireball."
Upon hearing this, the generals
They were all horrified.
Hulubu asked, "Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
"How could ordinary people create such firearms?"
Wanyan Zongfu shook his head and said, "Many soldiers witnessed it with their own eyes."
"It shouldn't be fake,"
"We also saw Talan's troops."
"This type of firearm may have been newly manufactured by the Ming army,"
"The number is not very large yet,"
"It will only be used to deal with our elite troops."
Hu Shahu exclaimed in surprise, "If in another two years, the Ming Dynasty produces even more firearms like these!"
"How can we continue to wage siege warfare in the future?"
"Take the Great Wall at Zhendonghaikou right here,"
"The Ming army only needs to bring one or two hundred iron fireballs,"
"At a critical moment, it was thrown down to bomb our brave soldiers,"
"We'll never be able to take back this section of the Great Wall."
The generals fell silent once again.
War gradually became unfamiliar.
First, the Ming army launched a naval operation.
Turn the Jin Dynasty's rear into the front line.
Taking advantage of the weakened coastal defenses,
They captured the Great Wall at Zhendonghaikou.
The Ming army was not only capable of fighting across the sea,
Moreover, the warships were also equipped with cannons.
Now there are even iron fireballs.
I heard about Wanyan Zongwang's side,
They also encountered many Ming army muskets.
How should we fight wars in the future?
These Jin generals were somewhat bewildered.
Hu Shahu said, "Could we learn to use those firearms too?"
Wanyan Zongfu said, "Spies have already been planted in the Ming Dynasty."
"But the Ming army had strict control over firearms,"
“Even ordinary Ming soldiers are not allowed to touch it.”
The generals discussed it repeatedly.
They all agreed that they could not continue their offensive.
They are demanding the withdrawal of troops.
To launch another forced attack on the Great Wall.
It's no different from sending someone to their death.
Wanyan Zongfu had no choice.
We can only go along with the wishes of the crowd.
But he feared that the Ming army would reinforce its troops in Lushun.
So he took the Meng'an under Sandulu's command.
They remained to garrison Huacheng Pass and Huacheng County.
To prevent the Ming army from reinforcing Lushun and breaching the pass.
The Jin army withdrew.
The soldiers and civilians of Lushun cheered and rejoiced.
They were all ordinary people.
They weren't even garrison troops.
They usually farm and fish.
During wartime, they were organized into local militia.
Just so I can live a normal life.
The regular army here,
Only Yelü Yudu and Hou Gai,
Each had only five hundred field troops.
As for the demon soldiers on Shamen Island
They do not belong to Lushun.
Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongbi,
After setting up the frontline defenses
They each returned to the capital of the Jin Dynasty.
One returned empty-handed.
A crushing defeat.
We're just two brothers in the same boat.
In the absence of Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Talan, and others
Wanyan Xie also presided over the Bojilie Conference.
Wu Qimai sat in the main seat.
They seemed rather relaxed and carefree.
The generals at the front were having a bad run of fighting.
This was actually advantageous to the Jin emperor.
"The Ming army is too fierce to withstand; our Great Jin Kingdom should withdraw its forces."
Wanyan Xie also said,
"Now each department is divided into three,"
"A film set in the clouds and grasslands,"
"One part is located in various prefectures of Youyan,"
"One is located in Liaodong and Liaozhong."
Chapter 3148 The Grain Supply Line is Attacked
"It was scattered too widely,"
"Constantly at the mercy of others,"
"The various departments cannot be integrated,"
"Transporting military supplies is also extremely difficult."
"I believe we should abandon Youyun,"
"Bring all units back to the heartland."
