The Qi army's offensive is slightly weak, so for the Jurchens, the most dangerous enemy this year is naturally the Mugyu.

Maybe it's to raid a larger area, maybe it's because one route can't support too many troops, or it's more likely that it's a combination of both.

In this attack, the Mengwu Gurhan Zamuhe and 60,000 light cavalry attacked the Liaozhong Plain in three directions, plundering everything they were interested in: money, silk, food, utensils, population, and so on.

The main force of the Jin State has been retreating near the Liaoshen Sea and did not stop the Mongol army at first, so they have been suffering losses.

However, the Mongolian army was too scattered, which gave the Jin army a good chance to break through.

The 60,000 Mongol troops are far more numerical than the total number of troops that the Jin army can dispatch - at this stage, there are only a little more than 30,000 Jurchens in the core of the Jin army, and only 10,000 of them have armor.

But the Jurchens are not fools, in fact, as one of the strongest feudal armies of this era, the Jin army's summary of the war is also in place, they have repeatedly lost to the Qi army, but they can also learn something from the failure every time, and try to make improvements.

For example, in recent years, the Jin Army has always attached great importance to the construction of firearms units, including artillery musketeers.

Their firearms unit was wiped out twice by the Qi army, but they still did their best to rebuild, and before the start of the Qimeng Autumn Offensive, the Jin army once again cobbled together a fairly visible firearms unit.

This force consisted of 7,000 Aha soldiers and 3,000 Jurchen soldiers, and the Jurchen soldiers mainly served as a warlord and artillery escort, so that the enemy would not overwhelm the firearms troops that could only be fired far away with a single surprise attack, and the firearms that cost a huge amount of money would fall into the hands of the enemy.

The operation of weapons still relied on the Aha of all ethnic groups, because there were really no firearms talents in the Jin army, and the three princes even specially promoted the Qi soldiers who had been captured in the previous war, and let them serve as the main grassroots officers of the firearms unit.

In terms of establishment, the 10,000-strong firearms unit was equally divided among the three princes Bo Jilie, each of whom had more than 2,000 Aha and 1,000 Jurchen armor soldiers, and also imitated the earlier naming method of the Qi army, naming the team "Heavy Brigade".

According to the suggestion of the surrender of the Qi army, this army should be commanded in a unified manner as much as possible in wartime in order to give full play to its firepower superiority.

In terms of equipment, due to the repeated heavy attacks of the Qi army, at this time the Jin army has not had a single artillery close to the specifications of the Qi army, and among all the 130 cannons, more than 60 are the simplest tiger squat guns, and more than 40 bowl-mouth cannons, as well as more than 20 magic machine guns with the best performance.

Unlike the Qi Army's unified caliber cannons, the Jin Army's Shenji shells weigh from a half-catty small machine to an eight-catty large machine, but because the barrel wall is too thin, most of the Jin Guoshen cannons can still only be used to fire shotguns.

In addition to metal artillery, the Jin army specially prepared 300 wooden cannons, and Meng'an, who was born in the Qi army, raised the problem that wooden cannons were easy to explode, and suggested that all wooden cannons should be fired only once in accordance with the requirements of the Qi army's drills.

However, the Jurchen Bo Jilie did not care about Ahha's casualties, so they still had a tough rule, and in the event of a battle, the wooden cannon must also keep firing until it is destroyed by the enemy or blows up its own chamber.

Those who dare not fire for fear of exploding, the Jurchen Governor will not hesitate to cut off the gunner's head.

Meng'an, who was born in the army, did not dare to continue arguing, and no one dared to remind the Jurchen slave owners that the explosion of the chamber could trigger a chain reaction of gunpowder, and even destroy their own army.

So this hidden danger can only continue to remain.

In addition to artillery, the number of musket equipment has also been increased.

The Jin army now had more than 800 muskets, more than 300 arquebuses, and a strange weapon of their own invention - the wooden barrel gun.

This is actually a miniature version of the wooden cannon, which is reinforced by tying thick hemp rope to a hand-held wooden barrel, and then reloading gunpowder and lead to fire.

This kind of thing is simple to produce, and the Jurchens quickly made nearly 3,000 pieces, but the power and practicality are very suspicious, after all, this thing can't hold enough propellant at all.

However, these improvised firearms made all the three heavy brigades of the Jin Army basically armed.

In this case, the fighting force of the Jin army is not the 30,000 that the Mugguls had guessed before, but nearly 40,000!

……

On September 22 of the fourth year of the Great Zhou Longdao, the main force of the Jin army, which had been shrinking for more than a month, suddenly dispatched its all, and the garrisons of Shenzhou and Haizhou quickly assembled in Liaoyang, plus the troops that were already in Liaoyang, 40,000 people were assembled within three days, and then the firearms troops were left to defend the capital Liaoyang, and the remaining 30,000 Zhen Jurchens forcibly marched to the Mengwu South Road Army in the area of Changning Fort.

There were 20,000 light horsemen in the Mengwu Southern Route Army, but at this time, only a little more than 8,000 were really following the main general, and the others had already scattered and plundered.

The 8,000 cavalry of the commander of the Mengwu army was also because he wanted to besiege Changning Fort, an important stronghold leading to Liaoyang.

On September 27, the Jin army suddenly appeared near Changning Fort, and 30,000 Jurchens immediately launched an attack on the Mughu.

At this time, in order to besiege Changning Fort, the Mongolian army on the southern road was besieging on foot, and was naturally caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

The Jurchens, who had been holding back for more than a month, were like a group of hungry and red-eyed wolves, and quickly launched a frontal charge against the Mongol army with infantry units, and the cavalry troops outflanked them on both flanks.

The loose Mongol infantry collapsed directly, the commander of the Southern Route Army was killed on the spot, more than 2,000 of the 8,000 cavalry were killed, nearly 5,000 were captured, and only less than 1,000 of the Mughurs fled to the vicinity of the horses, taking advantage of the Jurchens to massacres their companions and quickly fleeing the battlefield.

After easily winning a victory, and before he even had time to carefully clean the battlefield, Wanyan Zonggan personally led 7,000 cavalry to rush towards the middle of the Mongolian army near the yellow mud valley in the north.

After receiving the news of the victory on the southern route, Wanyan Zongbi, who remained in Liaoyang, immediately led three heavy brigades to take the initiative to attack the Mongolian army in the middle road.

The commander of the Middle Route Mongolian Army is Gulhan Zamuhe, and the ability of this steppe hero to control the troops naturally exceeds that of the commander of the Southern Route Army, so although the Middle Route Army was only 20,000 when it was dispatched, there were still as many as 15,000 around him at this time!

And Wanyan Zongbi only has 10,000 people in his hands, and he uses 10,000 infantry to deal with 15,000 cavalry!

At this time, Wanyan Zongbi was actually panicked, but he had no other way, and the Jin Kingdom had no other choice, they had to win a complete victory in this war, otherwise the Han and Mughal people in the south would be able to scrape the Dajin Kingdom alive every year.

Therefore, even if Wanyan Zongbi gambled his own life, he would use these unreliable troops to contain the main force of the Mugwu people as much as possible, and create a chance for Wanyan Zonggan, who was hurrying over, to win with one blow.
