But it is said that in the land of white mountains and black waters, there is a fierce clan, called Jurchen, and the tribes are uncovered because they are not oppressed by the Liao State.

The Liao State sent a large army to suppress it, but the Liao State was the same as the Great Song Dynasty, there was no war for a hundred years, and the army had long been decayed, and the 700,000 army was broken by the 20,000 Jurchen daring soldiers, like expelling lambs, dying for hundreds of miles, and killing and wounded.

After the Jurchens defeated the Liao army, they broke through the reality of the Liao army, so they formed the Jin State, with the Wanyan clan as the royal family, and went south to plunder.

Although the Liao country is large, it is like a fat pig, weak and incompetent, in the face of the Jurchen such a newborn tiger, there is no power to resist, repeated defeats, and the huge Huanglong Mansion is occupied by the Jin.

Then the Yan clan was not greedy, stopped in the Huanglong Mansion, and patiently digested the fruits of victory.

In the second year of the Great Song Dynasty and the tenth year of the Great Liao Tianqing, the Jurchen people rode their horses south again, and in less than half a day, they seized the Liao capital city and went to Beijing Linhuang Mansion.

The Liao army guard led the army to surrender, and Yelu Yanxi, the lord of Liao Guolang, fled to Xijing.

It happened that the commander of the Liao State, Yelu Dezhong, led the army back from the Song State to fight the grass valley, and hurriedly went to the Xijing Datong Mansion to see His Majesty, and presented the military weapons plundered back from the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao Emperor, and talked about the horror of artillery.

Yelu Yanxi had already panicked, and when he saw such a divine object, he immediately grabbed it as the last straw, allocated a large amount of gold, silver, and craftsmen, and let Na Yelu have to cast cannons by himself, while he hid in the palace every day to drink and have fun, like an ostrich and nothing happened.

Now that the destruction of the country is imminent, everyone is panicked, and they don't believe that this thing brought back from the Great Song Dynasty can turn the tide.

If the Song State has this ability, how can it be so peaceful for so many years?

Yelude and his entourage had seen the power of this artillery with their own eyes in the Song Kingdom, but they were full of confidence in the power of this artillery.

The land of this Daliao is vast, although it is sparsely populated, but it is rich in minerals, but it is rarely developed.

Now that Yelude has regained the will of the Liao Emperor, he only needs to say a word, and someone has prepared everything.

With these existing craftsmen and finished artillery, it took a few months for the Liao State to finally forge its own artillery.

Yelu was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded all the craftsmen, and then organized a study and concentrated on casting cannons.

After the artillery had gathered 300 pieces, Yelu Dezhong gathered the carriages and horses and transported the artillery to the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, preparing to resist the Jin army and turn the tide.

At that time, Liaoyang Mansion had been lost, Liaodu Tong Yelu Yu saw the reduction of gold, and the Jin army pressed Zhongjing.

The defenders in Zhongjing had no fighting spirit, and before the Jin army arrived, they burned the stored grain and prepared to flee the migrants.

Yerod ordered his subordinates to take over the defense of the city, clean up military discipline, and prepare for battle.

When Wanyan Aguta led the army to the city of Zhongjing, it was still a few miles away from the towering city wall, and he heard the sound of thunder in mid-air, and then he saw countless black bird-like things, flying from the distant city wall, densely packed with black press, blocking the sunlight and smashing head-on against the Jin army.

Rather, round stones, smashed over.

It was only at this moment that Wan Yan Aguda saw clearly in astonishment that those black shadows were not some flying birds, but round and heavy stones, as if they violated the laws of nature, and somehow crossed a vast distance from the top of the city wall, and smashed down to the ground with a thunderous momentum.

As soon as the stone bullets landed, they plowed deep pits into the ground in an instant, and then violently rebounded and rolled around on the ground, killing people and horses wherever they went.

The Jin army has never seen this kind of thermal weapon, where does it know how to take precautions, and the dense formation is just right for artillery.

The shell rolled in the middle of the army and was a bloody road, and it had to take more than a dozen lives.

Even the cavalry that was not directly hit was affected by this shock, and people turned on their backs, sand and gravel flew wildly, and there was chaos.

And there were 300 such shells at a time, and they rolled around each other, and in an instant the army was shattered.

Although the total number of Jin troops is tens of thousands, and there are more than 100,000 servant troops, this death and injury is a drop in the bucket for them, but what people fear most is the unknown.

This attack that fell from the sky was sudden and unguardable, and coupled with the loud thunder in the direction of Zhongjing City before, it was enough to make everyone frightened.

Even if he was finished, he was terrified in his heart, and he didn't dare to go up rashly.

He looked around in horror, only to see that the horse that had been grazed was falling to the ground, screaming in pain, its huge body torn apart by the violent impact, and its internal organs and broken bones mixed with blood flying sideways, which was extremely terrible.

The Jurchen warriors who had killed seven in and seven out of the Liao army array, but at this time they didn't even have room to resist, some were crushed under the broken horse corpses, and some were directly hit by stone bullets, their bones were broken, their flesh and blood were blurred, and they didn't even have a human form.

As far as the eye can see, there are twisted and deformed corpses of people and horses everywhere.

What I heard in my ears was all kinds of terrible wails before death.

Even if he has been fighting for a long time, he has seen many scenes of flesh and blood fighting, and when he sees this picture now, he is still terrified in his heart.

If this attack falls on my head, with my martial arts, can I follow?

He didn't need to ask to know the answer, which made him even more frightened.

He shouted loudly, gathered all the Jurchen warriors together, and retreated in the other direction, so as not to be trampled by the defeated army and cause casualties.

More than 100,000 troops surged up like a rising tide and collapsed like a low tide.

Along the way, these routs trampled on each other, and the number of dead had already exceeded those killed by shells.

Although the Liao army has not been out of the city to pursue, the cautious Wanyan Aguda still withdrew a hundred miles away, and only then began to collect the defeated army.

When they counted again, they found that the total number of soldiers who were damaged, wounded, and fled in battle had exceeded 20,000.

He sent each of them to pacify the armies, and then summoned the general Yelu Yu to see it, and asked:

"What kind of attack it is during the day, do you know?"

Yelu Yu was also very confused!

He's never seen that thing!

He was silent for a long time before he hesitated:

"I've never seen anything like this, just look at the stones that fly over, it seems to be a bit like a trebuchet, but trebuchets can't throw it so far!"

"Perhaps...... It's a secret treasure of the royal family! ”

After Yan Aguta, he asked some surrendered literati and generals to ask, but no one knew what it was.

When he saw that the Liao army had not come to pursue and had never used that thing to fight again, he knew that there was a weakness in this thing, so he held the camp tightly, and no longer attacked, but asked people to find a way to find out the details of the weapon.

But this thing was originally brought back by Yelu Dezhong from the Song Kingdom, and all the people in the Liao Kingdom were on the Xijing side, and the people in Zhongjing knew about it very limitedly, and most of the people who had been in contact with artillery regarded this thing as a treasure for the gods, and the shouting was very loud, and nothing else was known.

Seeing that there was no gain, Wanyan Aguta ordered all the armies to go to the surrounding area to capture the people, and the ants attached to the siege of the city.

Those vassal armies who surrendered to the Jin army could not fight, but they were good at oppressing the good, and they didn't care whether the people here were villagers of their own clan or not, so they brandished knives and guns and drove out groups of people.

Among these people, there are men in the prime of life, gray-haired old men, unarmed women and children, and even young men who have not yet shed their childishness, but for the Jin people, these are the property of the enemy, and death has nothing to do with him.

In fear and despair, this group of innocent people was driven to the front of the line, making a way for the Jin army behind.

Sure enough, with these pathfinders, the Jin army successfully passed through the position where it had been attacked before.

However, what Wanyan didn't expect was that when those people passed, they were fine, but when the Jin army walked there, the artillery immediately became powerful again.

The artillery attacks from the sky, not from the sky, so the conventional means of defense against bows, arrows, knives and guns are not easy to use here.

When the overwhelming stone flew up again, Wanyan roared like crazy.

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

The soldiers, who had already suffered a loss, had already turned around and ran away before he could give the order.

And the cannon fodder who was driven away without the soldiers was glad that they had survived, fell to the ground, and cried bitterly.

Because of the experience of the last time, this time the Jin army lost fewer people, no more than a thousand, but the servant army that escaped was more, more than 10,000 people.

Wanyan Aguta looked at the morale of the servant army, which had fallen to the bottom, and knew that these servants were not in the army, and the future battles could only be fought by the Jurchens themselves.

"Phew!"

"A bunch of rubbish!"

He spat hard, looked around fiercely, and choked back the words from all those who wanted to advise him to retreat.

"Since the beginning of our army, my Jurchens, have never feared the enemy!"

"The emperor of Da Liao brought 700,000 soldiers over, and he was not killed by our 20,000 people?"

"Even if Nakakyo has some powerful weapons, what can we do, is it possible that we will be afraid?"

The crowd shouted in unison: "My Jurchen warriors are never afraid!" ”

"Good!"

Wan Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"This is my daughter's real hero!"

"That Liao State and my Jin Kingdom are life and death enemies, there must only be one, and they must be destroyed!"

"If you can't kill it this time, you'll come back next time, but you have to figure out what that weapon is, what weaknesses it has, and how it will be easy to deal with it in the future."

"We'll try again tomorrow, this time we don't need the brigade to come forward, I'll personally lead a thousand people to try."

"If I die in battle, then Wu Qimai will succeed me in my position, and if Wu Qimai dies, it will be postponed in turn!"

Everyone wanted to go for him, but Wanyan just refused.

"I need to see for myself what that weapon is, so that I can rest assured."

Seeing that he insisted on his own opinion, everyone had no choice but to let him, and after receiving the order, he went to prepare.

On the next day, Wanyan Aguta left a large army behind, and led more than 1,000 cavalry to disperse, forming a loose formation and marching towards Zhongjing City.

The horse team soon reached the position where they had been beaten before, and sure enough, there was a loud bang, and the overwhelming stone projectiles flew in.

The people lay down on their horses, looked up, looked in the direction of the stone bullets, turned their horses, and tried to flee.

But the speed of the stone projectile was so fast that it didn't have time to turn at all, and soon it hit the ground, rolling everywhere, and rolling people in its path, crushing them into a bloody mess of meat sauce.

However, without the dense formation, the damage of this stone projectile was reduced to a minimum.

Three hundred stone bullets fell, but the damage caused was less than thirty.

"Don't stop!"

"Keep moving!"

Wanyan Agu's heart was dripping blood, but he still shouted loudly, urging everyone to continue to charge.

Except for those who were wounded and dismounted, everyone else gritted their teeth and followed closely behind their leaders, rushing forward one by one, while staring nervously into the distance, ready for the next round of shelling.

But unexpectedly, they waited for a long time, and did not wait for the second round of shelling.

It wasn't until nearly halfway through the journey that the second round of shelling came.

Because of its proximity, the lethal effect of this attack was much stronger, taking dozens of lives, but most of them were missed.

But Wanyan Aguda laughed out loud and shouted:

"This thing can only bombard a large army, and it is not effective for a small number of cavalry!"

"This thing is slow to load, don't give them another chance!"

The crowd was so angry that they responded with great vigour, and whipped their horses vigorously, and rode forward without hesitation.

Sure enough, when the third round of shelling came again, they had already rushed to the front of the city.

This time they finally saw clearly, on the wall of the central capital, there was a black iron pipe every few steps, and the hollow cannon muzzle was aimed at them, densely lined up the entire city wall.

Behind the iron pipe, a soldier stood on the left and right, loading stone bullets.

After the soldiers were loaded, someone waved a flag and gave an order, and immediately lit a fire and covered his ears and squatted down.

There was another familiar roar, and the stone projectile flew out of the muzzle, and a wave of flesh and blood rolled up among the cavalry.

Wanyan Agu bent his bow and arrows, and shot the man waving the flag to death with one arrow, and then walked away.

His group of men are all cavalry, and they are fast, and the purpose is to test the reality of this weapon, and now that the goal has been achieved, he naturally wants to go back.

But he heard a drum sound on the city tower, and Na Yelu Dezhong led his men and horses out of the city and chased after Wanyan Aguta.

The reason why Yerod didn't chase and kill before was simply because it was too far away.

The cannon had a range of several miles, and by the time the men and men ran there, the enemy was gone.

Now this Wanyan Agu is alone and in danger, and there are only a few hundred cavalry under his command, which is a great opportunity to exterminate him.

What Wanyan Agu was afraid of was only the artillery on the city wall, but he was not afraid of the Liao army at all, and when he saw that Yelu had the courage to come out to pursue, he actually did not flee, but led people to dismount and line up, and turned around to kill him.

This Jurchen is not a nomadic people, but a fishing and hunting people, and their riding skills are average.

To the Jurchens, horses were nothing more than vehicles.

When they really want to fight, the Jurchens still dismount and fight on foot.

There is a huge disparity in the number of the two sides, the other side is cavalry, and the other side is infantry, which should be destroyed, but at this time, the combat power of the Liao army has long been lost to the courage of the past, not only did not destroy the enemy army, but was pushed back.

Wanyan Ah Gu waved the iron bone and went straight to the center of Yelude to kill him.

Jerod was not afraid of him, and waved his spear, and the spear and flowers were covered with flowers.

As soon as the two fought each other, they knew that the enemy would be brave and could not take it for a while.

The two sides fought for more than ten consecutive battles, regardless of victory or defeat, but the Liao army couldn't hold on, Yelu couldn't bear it, so he had to sigh and order Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and sit back and watch Wanyan Aguta and others calmly retreat.

Wanyan Agu beat everyone back to the camp, and told what they saw and observed in detail, and everyone was a little dizzy, but they still couldn't find a way to crack it.

The cavalry could quickly pass through the firing area of the artillery, but the cavalry did not have siege equipment and could not break the city.

Infantry can carry large siege equipment, but it is too slow and morale is low, and it will be crushed by artillery halfway through.

After the discussion was fruitless, Wanyan Aguta had no choice but to announce a temporary withdrawal from the army, and then make a comeback after finding a way in the future.

The Jin army retreated, and Zhongjing was saved!

This news immediately lifted the spirits of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelude's great name immediately spread to all directions.

Yelu had to take the opportunity to reorganize the armament and regain the lost territory, who knew that Yelu Yanxi was also a soft bone, and was frightened by the Jin army once, and now he has long been timid in his heart, and he does not dare to fight again, but wants to negotiate with the Jin country and do the thing of cutting the land and seeking peace.

However, he said that Wanyan Aguta, on the way back, actually fell ill and died, and the emperor of the Jin State was inherited by his younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai.

When this power was handed over, Wanyan Wu didn't want to make any extraneous trouble, so he agreed to this collegiate agreement, but asked for the artillery as compensation.

"Your Majesty, no!"

"The power of this artillery is infinite, my Daliao army is weak now, if there is no artillery to suppress the Jin country, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the country!"

"Don't let Jin Guo get this artillery secret!"

But Yelu Yanxi laughed disapprenously:

"There are hundreds of artillery pieces in our country, so what can we do if we send one or two with him?"

"The craftsmen who make this cannon are all in our country, and the Jin country is all barbarians, where do you know how to make cannons, it's okay to give him a few!"

"Brother Huang, don't be alarmist, the Song Kingdom also has a lot of artillery, and I have never seen the collapse of my Liao Kingdom!"

Jerod reminded:

"Your Majesty doesn't know that there is a big thief in the Song Dynasty, named Heavenly Killing Star Li Ghost, who now occupies the land of Shandong and has become a problem for the henchmen of the Song Kingdom."

"Now that Song Kingdom has no time to pay attention to the affairs of my Liao Kingdom, otherwise how can I have the leisure of my Liao Kingdom now?"

After Yelu Yanxi heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Since this person occupies such a large territory in Shandong, it is obvious that his strength is not small, so he might as well accept it as a help, let him continue to make trouble in the Song Dynasty, and when the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, I Da Liao can go south and dominate the world."

Beside him, the courtier flattered and admonished:

"Since Your Majesty has the heart to destroy the Song Dynasty with Liang, then you might as well recruit that Li Ghost as a concubine, and after you unify the country in the future, you will divide him among the princes."

After Yelu Yanxi heard this, he was really happy, and he sent out a will, to choose one of the royal nobles with outstanding appearance and conduct, and to do the things of harmony.

Coincidentally, after Yan Wu became the emperor, he also felt that this artillery was too tricky, and felt that with the power of the Jin State, he was afraid that he would not be able to destroy the Liao State, so he thought about it and wanted to find a helping hand for his family.

It happened that there was a person from the Yandi clan, named Ma Zhi, who had the intention to make some achievements, so Mao recommended himself to come to the door and offered a strategy of "destroying Liao in the Song Dynasty".

After Yan Wu begged to buy when he summoned this Ma Zhi, after listening to his explanation in detail, his heart was overjoyed, so he promoted him to Guangluqing, as a messenger to detour to the Song State, and contacted the Song court, and agreed that if the Liao was destroyed, all the sixteen states of Yanyun would be returned to the Song State, and the rest of the Liao land would be owned by the Jin State.

Here Jerod has to reapply the template of Jerod's stone.
