Chapter 637: Ah Gu defeated and fled

This is also the reason why Zhang San did not use the tactics of gunpowder carts on a large scale in the first place, when the enemy is prepared, it is difficult to transport this cart of gunpowder to the city wall, and it is not as affordable as bombarding it with cannons.

Wanyan Aguta found that the explosives he bought at a high price did not seem to be as useful as the legend, so he had to set up camp with his subordinates, prepare to build ladders, and carry out traditional siege operations, and the next day the Jurchens, who had prepared in a hurry, attacked the city again.

When the war entered the white heat in the afternoon, Wanyan Aguta quietly ordered the soldiers to carry explosives bags to the city gate, dozens of explosives bags in a pile, and then the city gate was blown up with a bang, and the Jurchen cavalry took advantage of the situation to enter, and Wanyan Aguta stood outside the city laughing.

After Ah Gu entered the city, he found that the atmosphere in the city was not right, there were ping-pong muskets everywhere, and his cavalry was indeed like headless flies everywhere.

While ordering the soldiers to assemble and occupy the streets near the city gate, Aguta ordered people to climb the city wall, trying to occupy the place near the city gate first and then move in the next step, but it was easy for the troops to disperse and it was difficult to gather, and the troops attacking the city wall also encountered strong resistance.

Seeing that it is about to get dark, it is a difficult choice for Aguta to continue to stay in the city or withdraw from the city, right? There are still more than 10,000 people in the city who have not been found, so don't you evacuate? It always felt like a trap.

Still hesitating in the middle of the day, the sky was completely dark, and the Jurchens set up camp near the city gate, trying to wait until Tianming was continuing to think of a way, and the gunfire in Seoul did not stop all night, and when they arrived at Tianming, the number of people at the Agu checkpoint found that they had only more than 30,000 troops in their hands.

And there were no Jurchen cavalry rushing out of the city, Aguda knew that those people were probably all dead, and now he couldn't wait, when he came, Aguda was full of spirit with 80,000 cavalry, and he had a lot of generosity between the thoughts of sweeping the world.

But now, after several battles, there are only 30,000 of the 80,000 people left, and the real Jurchen cavalry is less than 20,000, and they are all like lost dogs, and they are all in fear, and there are still more than 100,000 troops waiting for him in the north.

Wanyan Aguta is a decisive person, he retreated when he said to retreat, without the slightest lingering, although Zhu Wu sent troops to stop more than 5,000 Nuzhen vassal troops, but Aguta still did not turn his head back, and there was no intention of rescue at all.

The way back was not all smooth sailing, and on the way, the Jurchens were blocked by Goryeo and the northern and southern Japanese kingdoms, especially the northern and southern Japanese kingdoms, and almost all of them were desperately staging when there were still thousands of tasks.

In the end, Wanyan Aguda returned to Liaoyang with 7,000 remnants, the Jurchen's strength declined significantly, and Zhang San got the news and fell into his heart, it seems that the Jurchen can rise not because of how powerful he is, but because the enemy is too incompetent.

The Emperor of Liao was also very happy after getting the news of the Jurchen loss, and decided to send troops to crusade again, and the General Staff was not optimistic about this crusade after analysis.

Moreover, the officer corps can only play a role in teaching shooting over there, so although the strength of the Jurchens has been greatly reduced, the strength of the Liao State has not strengthened much, and I am afraid that this time it will still be defeated and returned.

Now that he knew that Zhang San would definitely not take his officer corps to death, withdraw the officer corps, and let the Liao State do it himself, Yelu Yanxi learned that the Great Song Dynasty used 50,000 musketeers to destroy the Dali State in less than a month, and Goryeo followed 100,000 musketeers to defeat the Jurchen 80,000 army, and he Liao State has now armed 200,000 musketeers, so it will definitely be a sure victory.

After three months of preparation, in June, the Liao State finally sent troops again, this time learning the lessons of the previous two times, the 300,000 troops did not divide the troops, but advanced to the direction of Liaoyang together, vowing to take Liaoyang in a war.

Under his iron and bloody hand, he killed several tribal leaders who tried to rebel, and then recruited more than 20,000 Jurchens in the mountains and forests, and his strength recovered to about 70,000.

Ah Guda got the news that the Liao State was coming again, and he was also under great pressure, and he swore in both eyes, swearing that the Jurchen had reached the critical point of life and death, and if he could not defeat the enemy army, it would be the day of destruction.

After agitating Agu to march into an army of 70,000 to prepare to face the Liao army head-on, the luck of the Liao army was very poor, originally the two sides were on both sides of the Liao River, Yelu Yanxi was very confident to give way to the enemy to cross the river.

After the Jurchen crossed the river, a gust of southeast wind suddenly blew, the wind was very strong, flying sand and stones, the Liao army was blown and couldn't open its eyes, Aguta seized this opportunity to immediately attack the whole army, and defeated the 300,000 troops of the Liao State in a battle, Yelu Yanxi escaped with only 5,000 cavalry.

After this battle, the Liao State was once again greatly injured and was no longer able to attack the Jin State, and the Jin State was pinned down by Goryeo and the Qi State and was unable to attack the Liao, so the two sides finally settled down to recuperate and prepare for another battle in the coming day.

In addition to defeating the Liao army, Agu also captured 200,000 muskets, as well as Liao musketeers, most of the Liao muskets were Han Chinese in Liao, and the Jurchens did not abuse these captives, but rebelled, and most of the soldiers were afraid of death and joined the Jurchens.

Wanyan Aguta took the opportunity to organize 100,000 musketeers and began to train in imitation of what Goryeo saw, hearing this news, Zhang San was not worried about the 100,000 musketeers of the Jurchens, but worried about the future of the Liao State.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang San decided to squeeze the Liao State, and continue to buy weapons when they are gone, you see that your enemies are equipped with muskets, if you don't have them, won't you be even more defeated?

At this time, the Liao State also let go of its pride, knowing that it could not train good musketeers, so it had to accept the guidance of the Qi State, and the Liao State reorganized the 200,000 firearms troops, and fully accepted the guidance of the Qi State Officer Corps.

A good deck of cards is played like this, and now Zhang San doesn't know what to say about them, and most of this year has passed, Zhang San's layout is almost complete, and next year he will do it himself, I don't know if the musketeers on both sides have a chance to face off.

Zhang San wanted the Liao State to see that his musketeers were vulnerable in front of the Qi State, so would the Liao State think that Zhang San was defrauding them by selling muskets? But these are all trivial things, in order to recover their vitality, the Liao State did the same thing as the Great Song Dynasty, that is, to raise taxes.

The tax increase is very hurtful to the people, and the Great Song Dynasty is different from the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is a national tax increase, but when the Liao State is not enough to spend money, the first thing that comes to mind is to tax the local Han people, because the Khitan people are nobles!
