The fall of Wanyan Orugu did not cause confusion among the Jurchens. They continued to charge over with maces and machetes, followed by an army of servants who gradually gathered behind them. Qinbei Pavilion
Lu Zhishen and his men rushed straight towards the Jurchens who were coming to kill them. The two armies fought for a while, swords, sticks and hammers intertwined, and the sound of collision was endless.
"Brother, these Jurchens are not afraid of death, and there are people coming from both wings to kill!"
Xu Guanzhong and Gongsun Sheng pointed at the Jurchens and servant troops surrounding the houses on both sides and said.
"It's still a bit tactical."
Sun Lei nodded and said, the Jurchens' fighting style is like a pack of wolves hunting, dragging them from the front, double-teaming them on both sides, and then pounce on them together to fight.
"Throw the explosives!"
Sun Lei ordered to Hua Rong and Ma Ling beside him. He was not a military god. He was an amateur at arranging troops. But this time he was raiding the city and fighting in street battles. He had fewer troops than his opponent. There are too few that can operate.
So Sun Lei simply used gunpowder, a big killer. I don't know how to strategize, so I don't need to strategize and just blow everything up. Wouldn't everything be solved?
Hua Rong and Ma Ling led others and threw the lit explosives behind the houses on both sides.
"Boom boom boom!"
Amidst the violent explosions, dust rose and masonry and rubble flew. There was a lot of gunpowder in the explosive bag. Sun Lei even wrapped a lot of steel balls and iron pear around the outside to increase the lethality.
"ah!"
Screams followed, and no matter whether you were wearing heavy armor or leather armor, you would not feel better under the power of gunpowder.
The Jurchens, who were still waiting for the reinforcements on both sides to make a roundabout way, finally panicked. The screams and explosion vibrations from both sides told them that this time the enemy was unusual.
"You dare to be distracted on the battlefield."
Lu Zhishen's Zen staff turned around and killed another Jurchen soldier.
"Kill!"
Li Kui swung his ax into the crowd. He swung the ax and struck the Jurchens' heavy armor, causing bursts of sparks. Li Kui had different cutting techniques. It was difficult for the ax to hurt the Jurchens in heavy armor, but Li Kui was extremely powerful and spun around. The circular slashes caused chaos in the Jurchen formation.
Different from Li Kui, Du Bo, Sun An, and Feng Tai had already changed into heavy weapons, including Modao, sledgehammer, and mace. The three of them killed several Jurchen soldiers in front of them with one move.
Before the stunned Jurchens on both sides could react, Hua Rong and Ma Ling once again had someone throw out a batch of explosives.
The Jurchens who had just shaken their heads and stood up in a daze had not yet been able to distinguish between east, west and north before they were blown away by the blast of air again, making them dizzy again.
The Jurchens began to retreat into private houses to resist, but Sun Lei ignored them and refused to let his men attack the building. He continued to explode randomly and buried the Jurchens alive in the rubble.
The battle lasted until dawn and then gradually ended. Lu Zhishen killed the last Jurchen with a Zen stick. Li Kui and others were also searching for the escaped Jurchen servants throughout the city.
"Still want to run?"
Sun Lei knocked down a Jurchen servant who ran out with a stick. These Ergouzi were not Jurchens, but Khitans, Bohai people, Koreans, Xi people, and Han people from Liaodong.
Although Wanyan Aguda was powerful and the Jurchens were also brave, the problem of the sparse Jurchen population could not be solved in a short time. Therefore, after the founding of the country, Wanyan Aguda began to plunder the population. No matter which race, he took them under his command and used them.
"My brother fought beautifully in this battle. He defeated many with less. Moreover, he attacked a city and annihilated several times the number of enemies. It is not common to read through history books!"
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile that this battle was entirely commanded by Sun Lei, and it could be said to be a complete victory. This kind of complete victory against a foreign race was not common in the hundred-year history of the Song Dynasty.
"It all depends on the equipment!"
Sun Lei shook his head with a smile.
"The military advisor has also seen that these Jurchens have lived in the northern mountains and forests all year round. The cold and harsh environment has tempered their strong bodies. If seen as individual soldiers, they are almost invincible."
Sun Lei pointed at the heavily armored Jurchen soldiers who had been killed. The rise of the Jurchens was no coincidence. It was no joke that the Liao Kingdom, which had suppressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, was destroyed by them within ten years. In terms of individual combat power, now The Jurchens are already at the ceiling.
"Master, you have been on the battlefield. What do you think of the combat effectiveness of these Jurchens?"
Sun Lei looked at Lu Zhishen who looked gloomy and asked.
"Much more powerful than the Khitans and Xixia people."
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, today's battle can be regarded as a trick. If it were not for the sneak attack on the Jurchens' horses and the help of gunpowder, even if they could win this battle, it would not be so easy.
This battle made Lu Zhishen clearly realize the strength of the Jurchens. Even the most elite Western Army and Forbidden Army in the Northern Song Dynasty were no match for these Jurchens.
"The environment is different. The Jurchens live in a harsher environment than the Xixia and Khitan people. The environment is the most training."
Sun Lei shook his head.
"Brother, these people are also wearing two layers of armor!"
Jiao Ting took off a Jurchen's armor and shouted. There was a thick layer of leather armor under the armor.
"I actually thought of going together. It can not only keep warm but also protect against blunt objects!"
Sun Lei looked at the layer of leather armor and said with a smile, the Jurchen's leather armor is very thick and looks more like a leather jacket, but it is similar to them wearing two layers of armor.
"No wonder a blunt object hitting the torso doesn't cause much damage!"
Sun An looked at the two-finger-thick leather jacket and said, during the fight just now, the damage caused by the blunt weapon hitting the Jurchen's torso was not obvious. Only a blow to the head can kill the Jurchen.
"You can wear it like this in Liaodong. It's already very hot in Shandong and Hebei. Wearing such a thick layer is asking for death!"
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, although leather armor is good at resisting blunt objects, its shortcomings are also very fatal. It is no problem to wear it in the north. Once you go to the south, especially in the summer, you will suffer from heat stroke after wearing it for a short time.
"Brother, what should I do with this city?"
Gongsun Shengguo said that the Jurchens had been killed and Suzhou City had been captured, but they could not occupy such an isolated overseas city for a long time.
"This is really troublesome. I just want to conquer this city!"
This problem made Sun Lei worried. Suzhou City was really difficult to deal with, so leaving like this seemed unreasonable.
The Jurchens are not kind people. They killed so many Jurchens. The Jurchens will never let it go. When Wanyan Aguda's army arrives, the entire Suzhou city will be killed.
"Gather the people together first!"
Sun Lei said, no matter what, you have to ask the people in this city first.
A night of fighting made people in Suzhou City too scared to go out. Fortunately, everything came to an end after dawn. After a call, the entire Suzhou City people were called to the streets outside the government office.
The heads of Wanyan Orugu and a group of Jurchens were hanging on the flagpole. Looking at the heads of those evildoers, the people of Suzhou City gritted their teeth and wished they could take them off and play them as footballs.
The people were very curious about who killed these Jurchens who had done all kinds of evil. You must know that the Khitan people had already run away, Gao Yongchang was killed in Liaoyang Mansion, and the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed. There was no one in Liaodong who was a Jurchen opponent.
"Is there only this few people?"
Sun Lei frowned when he saw that there were less than two thousand people in front of him. Although Suzhou City was not big, it should have tens of thousands of people. After all, there was a port here and it was considered a major trade town.
