Even if it means getting hit by a few arrows, we can still charge through.
But if you just stand there firing cannons and letting the archers shoot at you...
After several waves of arrows,
He was destined to die.
Seeing that no one moved, Wuzhu shouted,
"If we don't move forward,"
"All of them shall be executed."
The Jurchens behind them also raised their weapons.
As long as Wuzhu gives the order
They would not hesitate to kill these Bohai Navy soldiers.
The Bohai Army had long been terrified of the Jurchens.
Seeing the ferocity of the Jurchens,
Immediately, some people compromised and pushed the catapult forward.
With someone taking the lead,
The others then followed suit and pushed forward.
Zhang Qing, watching from the gate, saw the Jin soldiers still pushing their catapults forward and shouted loudly.
"Archers prepare."
The standard bows and arrows used by the Liang army had a range of sixty paces.
However, on the high walls, several meters high...
The range has also increased significantly.
When the Jin soldiers entered the archers' firing range...
Waves of arrows rained down.
One by one, the Bohai Navy soldiers screamed as they fell in the rain of arrows.
The Bohai Navy, which had managed to hold out against the artillery barrage, finally collapsed.
No one wanted to stand there and be showered with arrows.
Of course, they knew that escaping to the back would mean certain death.
The ruthless Jurchens would not give them a way out.
So they all shouted and rushed forward.
Those who spoke Mandarin shouted their surrender.
Those who didn't know how should throw away their weapons.
To make the Han people understand their meaning.
Wuzhu saw the Bohai army fleeing,
With a howl,
He ordered the Jurchen soldiers behind him to shoot and kill the Bohai Army with arrows.
Under the attack of cannons and arrows,
Of the original five thousand Bohai Navy soldiers, less than a thousand remain.
They were pursued and killed by the Jurchen soldiers again.
Fewer than three hundred people escaped to the city walls.
The casualties were devastating.
Few armies could withstand such casualties.
If it weren't for the Jurchen soldiers constantly threatening them with their swords,
Bohai Navy had already fled.
But after realizing there was no way out
The Bohai Navy also finally defected.
Wuzhu was still hesitating whether to brave the rain of arrows to pursue and kill the remaining Bohai navy.
Suddenly, he saw several dark lights shooting towards him from the city wall.
There wasn't even time to turn the horse around.
The only option was to fall from the horse's back to the ground.
"boom!"
Wuzhu had just pounced out
Then he heard the mournful neighing of the warhorses behind him.
It crashed to the ground.
Turn around and look,
An iron spear was less than a foot away from him.
Two iron spears pierced the warhorse, leaving two bloody holes.
Three more iron spears landed on the other side.
Wuzhu knew that these were Liang's bed crossbows.
It is said that the range can reach nearly a thousand paces.
Therefore, the army lined up two miles away.
He was supervising the battle from the front.
They also didn't allow their personal guards to get too close.
To avoid being noticed by Liang Jun
Shoot him with a ballista.
I just didn't expect the pursuit of the Bohai Navy to get so close this time.
That's when Liang Jun set his sights on them.
Wuzhu dared not think too much about it.
He got up and ran around in a circle to the back.
Chapter 1605 Terrified
Wuzhu's personal guards also ran back and forth behind him.
To distract Liang Jun.
The Liang soldiers operating the crossbows on the city wall fired several more arrows.
They didn't even hit Wuzhu.
He only shot and killed two of Wuzhu's personal guards.
Wuzhu scrambled back to the central army camp.
He said to Wanyan Zongwang,
"Second brother, should we send someone to kill those Bohai Navy soldiers?"
Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said,
"They've all hidden under the city walls,"
"If you want to kill them,"
"I'm afraid a lot of the tribe's soldiers will die."
Wuzhu, however, resented the Bohai navy for making him flee in such a sorry state, and said unwillingly,
"If we don't kill them all,"
“The other Bohai Navy personnel and Han Chinese will definitely follow suit and flee.”
Wanyan Zongwang also hesitated.
The military system of the Jin Dynasty was brutal.
Let alone the Bohai Navy and the Han Army.
Many Jurchen tribes have complaints.
However, they were all intimidated by the Wanyan tribe's killing spree.
If he hadn't hunted down those Bohai Navy soldiers today,
Maybe if war breaks out tomorrow,
Both the Bohai and Han armies fled.
Wuzhu said, "Just send a strategist up to shoot them."
"Not many people will die."
Although Wanyan Zongfu was more lenient,
But they also knew they couldn't undermine morale.
"Send a squad of heavily armored infantry up and shoot them down."
Wanyan Zongwang saw that his third and fourth brothers both said the same thing.
They then sent a group of heavily armored infantrymen.
After the Jin dynasty captured several cities of the Liao dynasty and obtained iron,
They assembled some heavily armored cavalry and infantry.
The ferocious Jurchens donned heavy armor.
Undoubtedly a demon of the battlefield
No Liao soldiers could withstand their charge.
However, today's heavy infantry are there to defend against the arrows of the Liang army.
The Bohai army, having fled to the city walls, saw the Jurchen heavy infantry approaching.
Now we know their purpose.
They cried and begged the people who had closed the gates to open them for them.
Let them in.
Zhang Qing waved his hand and said, "Yue Fei,"
"Take your men down there,"
"Open the city gates and take all the surrendered soldiers to the back."
"Yes!"
Yue Fei clasped his hands in response to the order.
He strode down towards the pass.
No one was worried that the Jurchens would take the opportunity to seize the gate.
As long as fire bombs are continuously thrown from the city walls...
This would isolate the troops outside.
Unless the Jin soldiers below the city can break through to the pass.
But hundreds of unarmed men wanted to rush to the pass.
