"The heat reaches over half an acre,"
"Both the man and the cowhide were shattered and left without a trace."
"It can penetrate both armor and iron..."
Da Mingyi looked at the explosion site.
I'm so glad I sided with the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, what should we do if we encounter this thing?
He turned to look at Da Mingzhen.
He found his older brother standing there, frozen in place.
They stared in disbelief at the scorched earth on the ground.
"Victory is certain! The Ming Dynasty will surely win!"
Da Mingyi was deeply moved.
He suddenly shouted,
The surrounding soldiers also shouted loudly.
The thunderbolt has not yet been used in actual combat.
But it has already greatly boosted the morale of the Ming soldiers!
.....
Jinzhou, a city of splendor.
The population here,
Mainly Han and Bohai ethnic groups,
In the early Liao Dynasty, a large number of artisans and farmers were relocated there.
It was the private prefecture of the Liao emperor and empress.
The emperor sent private soldiers to garrison,
Various local specialties were directly supplied to the Liao Dynasty's royal family.
Comparing with agricultural tools unearthed in later periods,
Agricultural technology in the Jinzhou region of the Liao Dynasty
It was far more advanced than northern Shanxi at that time.
When Emperor Huizong of Song spent money to buy the land of Youyan,
The Jin state also brought in a large number of farmers and artisans.
They were relocated from Youzhou to Jinzhou for resettlement.
Jinzhou has developed to its current state.
It has actually become more prosperous and lively.
This was extremely rare in the late Liao and early Jin dynasties.
At this time, the Jinzhou city wall,
The circumference reaches six li.
This is nothing special in the Central Plains region.
However, it is one of the top-ranked major cities in Northeast China.
Wanyan Zongfu used the grain he had seized from Goryeo...
A plan to clean up the coast was formulated.
Of these, Guangning Prefecture and Jinzhou each sent 13000 troops.
Sixty percent of them were issued to militia members.
In order to get rid of Li Bao
The Jin state disregarded the impact on production in Jinzhou.
Not only did many farmers sign into the army,
Even the city's artisans were conscripted to fight in the war.
These troops were commanded by Wanyan Zongbi.
In Yanshan Prefecture,
Wanyan Zongwang also mobilized 10,000 men.
It was handed over to Wanyan Talan to bring over.
Jin troops on both the east and west routes,
A total of 23,000 men,
A pincer attack on the coastal county town where Li Bao's troops are stationed!
This dilapidated county town,
The city wall was less than three li in circumference.
It's more like a slightly larger castle.
“The Ming soldiers in the city, if you have the guts, come out and fight!”
"Don't hide in the city like a woman."
"If you don't come out soon, you're a spineless turtle..."
After the two Jin armies joined forces,
The moat hasn't even been filled in yet.
Wanyan Zongbi then sent men outside the city to challenge him to a one-on-one duel.
Chapter 3128 One-on-One Duel Between Generals
Don't think that one-on-one duels between generals are something to be taken lightly.
It belongs to the fictional works of novelists.
Until the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty,
One-on-one duels between military generals are still very popular.
With the recovery of the Tang Dynasty's population and the strengthening of its military,
One-on-one matches are becoming less and less common.
But it experienced a resurgence during the Five Dynasties period.
Five generations of warlord conflicts,
A sharp decline in population
The number of troops has decreased.
The intensity of the war has decreased.
The outcome is often decided by a one-on-one duel.
In this era,
It's time for another one-on-one recovery period.
In the early Southern Song Dynasty in history,
In the face of overcoming numerous difficulties, the Jin Kingdom
When pushed to the limit, they resort to insults and challenges.
The overall quality of the Song army was poor.
There are many formidable people.
Perfect for a one-on-one duel in front of the team.
Anyway, if we lose, we can just keep playing defensively.
The Song and Jin dynasties quickly reached an agreement.
There are many records of one-on-one duels in historical books.
The Jin generals outside the city were hurling increasingly vile insults.
Not long after the Ming Dynasty surrendered,
Eager to earn merit, he volunteered, saying:
"General, let me go out of the city and meet that scoundrel,"
"We will make sure the Jin soldiers dare not shout again!"
Li Bao glanced at Da Mingzhen:
"Our army is absolutely certain of winning the defense of the city,"
"Why are you venturing out of the city?"
Da Mingzhen stopped speaking.
There was a young general named Huyan Tong nearby.
They were equally eager to make a name for themselves:
"General, if I am defeated, I will be punished according to military law!"
Li Bao said, "I know you're good at dueling."
There's no need for that right now.
Hu Yantong had no choice but to shut up.
But his eyes were fixed on the area outside the city, eager to try his luck.
He was a close relative of Huyan Zhuo.
However, he was not from any of the Liangshan heroes.
Instead, they were officers and soldiers of the local military garrison in Shandong.
Historically, Han Shizhong faced several crises.
It was Hu Yantong who stepped forward to turn the tide.
On one occasion, he even turned defeat into victory through a one-on-one duel on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, this person eventually drowned himself.
Historical records suggest that he was suppressed by Han Shizhong.
However, the specific process was extremely absurd.
It's more like a feeling of utter disillusionment with the entire Southern Song Dynasty.
For the next two weeks,
The Jin army kept sending people to fill in the moat.
At the same time, a large number of trebuchets were manufactured.
As the moat was gradually filled in...
Li Bao's elite troops maintained their usual morale.
But the other units seemed quite nervous.
Only Li Bao's three thousand loyal followers remained in the city.
In addition, there are two thousand newly formed field troops.
And five or six hundred Bohai soldiers who surrendered.
