"You are the people of Liangshan!"
Wanyan Yinshuke rode in front of the formation and shouted.
"So what?"
Tang Bin stood at the top of the city and replied loudly.
"I am Wanyan Yinshuke of the Great Jin Kingdom! On the orders of the Great Sage Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, I am going to conquer the Liao Kingdom. Please get out of the way quickly!"
Wanyan Yinshuke shouted to Tang Bin.
"Haha, you little barbarians are also trying to play tricks like others. Now that I, Liangshan, have captured Yanyun, all you sensible people should go back to the White Mountains and Black Waters, or I will kill you all!"
Tang Bin laughed.
"Then I will let you know how powerful our country is!"
Wanyan Yinshu could see that the defenders at Juyongguan did not listen to the advice, and even spoke rudely. Anger welled up in their hearts. The Liao Kingdom was destroyed by their Jin Kingdom, and a group of thieves dared to steal the fruits of their victory.
Wanyan Yinshuke waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him exited the cannon-stone carts. Juyongguan is not another place. Although the pass here is dangerous and dangerous, it is the main road leading to the grassland from Hebei. The road is spacious and difficult to drive on horseback. It was not a problem, so the army also brought a lot of siege equipment.
"Ignorant thieves dare to confront our country of Jin!"
Wanyan Yinshuke looked coldly at the defenders at Juyong Pass. Since the Jurchens raised their troops, they have been invincible in every battle. How could a Juyong Pass want to stop him?
"Gunstone truck? Brother Ling Zhen, it's up to you!"
Tang Bin looked at Ling Zhen with a smile. Before Sun Lei returned to Xijin Mansion from Baigou, he asked Ling Zhen to lead the artillery directly to Juyong Pass.
"Don't worry, they're just some old-fashioned cannon-rock trucks, they're all unnecessary for fun!"
Ling Zhen said with a smile that these cannon-rock machines were not created by the Jurchens, but were improved from the Central Plains cannon-stone machines. Compared with the Central Plains cannon-stone machines, the Jurchens made them larger and had a longer throwing distance.
"But these cannon-rock trucks are really big enough!"
Shan Yangui looked at the row of cannon-rock carts and said with some surprise. The Song Dynasty's equipment was also quite sophisticated, but compared to the Jurchens' trebuchets, it was still not good enough.
"Yes! If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to stop these devices!"
Wei Dingguo said.
Shan Yangui is the holy water general and Wei Dingguo is the divine fire general. Both of them are masters of using weapons. Now they are a little surprised to see the barbarian Jurchen having such a weapon.
"It's hard to find good large-scale wood in the Central Plains, and it's too difficult to build such a large cannon-rock truck. But now that we have artillery, we are no longer limited by materials."
Ling Zhen explained that the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources. However, after successive dynasties of development and population growth, the wood has been over-cut, especially the giant trees that have been suitable for building large instruments for hundreds of years. It is no longer possible to collect materials from anywhere. But these things are very common in Liaodong.
Before Wanyan Yinshu could attack over there, Ling Zhen ordered the attack first, and the enemy was already within the attack range of the artillery.
"Boom boom boom!"
Juyong turned off his artillery and fired in unison. A row of shells hit the Jurchen formation, destroying several cannon-rock machines.
"Wanyan Yin Shu, is this all you have? I think you should just go back and go fishing!"
Tang Bin shouted with a loud smile.
There was another burst of artillery fire, smoke and snow foam flew in front of the Jurchen formation, and the cannon-rock machine guns were knocked down.
The artillery is located high up, which gives it an advantage. There is no need to aim, it can be regarded as hitting wherever it is pointed.
Wanyan Yinshu was a little stunned by the beating. He was going to attack the city. Why did he become an enemy and attack them.
Tang Bin obviously would not answer Wanyan Yinshuke, and Ling Zhen's artillery had no intention of stopping. Round after round of artillery fire continued to bombard the Jurchens.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Wanyan Yinshuke shouted to the army around him that the enemy's artillery was too powerful and they had no choice but to retreat first.
"You're defeated now! You're so vulnerable!"
Ling Zhen laughed. Those outdated instruments could no longer control the battlefield. The future battlefield would be dominated by artillery and gunpowder.
"Wanyan Yinshu shouldn't retreat like this!"
Tang Bin looked at the retreating Jin army and said, although the enemy was repelled, they did not retreat, and their formation was not disordered.
…
Wanyan Yinshu frowned as he looked at the tall Juyongguan in the distance. The most important thing for their Jin Kingdom to attack the city was their equipment, but now that their equipment couldn't get close to Juyongguan, how could they attack the city.
"Meng'an, if we can't get close to Juyong Pass, how can we enter Youzhou and attack Xijin Mansion! Your Majesty has already set off!"
Several generals looked at Wanyan Yinshuke and said, they have received a death order and must fight to the gate of Xijin Mansion.
"I'm afraid Digunai's side has already left the mountain and is heading for Xijin Mansion. We can't fall behind!"
Everyone spoke again, Digunai was Wanyan Zhong's Jurchen name. Both parties received military orders at the same time and set off at the same time. If Wanyan Zhong arrived at Xijin Mansion and they did not arrive, then they would be the dwarfs in the future. Now the Jurchen territory is expanding. Awesome, victorious in every battle, with high morale, no one wants to fail and be inferior to others.
"Send the order, attack tonight!"
Wanyan Yinshuke ordered to everyone that time waits for no one, he must fight to Xijin Mansion in these few days.
…
As night fell, the Jurchens slowly approached Juyongguan under the cover of night. This time they prepared a large number of shields, goose carts, and holes in front, preparing to rely on these to withstand the artillery.
"It's indeed here!"
Tang Bin looked at the enemies outside the city.
"Why don't you go out and kill for a while!"
Teng Kan asked.
"No, this is playing into the enemy's hands. Let's just guard Juyong Pass. Even if there are 100,000 Jurchens, let alone 10,000 Jurchens, they will never get past!"
Tang Bin shook his head and said that he was determined to defend Juyong Pass and would not let any enemy pass.
"fire!"
Ling Zhen immediately ordered the artillery fire, and the artillery bombardment continued to hit the Jurchens' equipment.
But the Jurchens were not afraid of death. They shouted slogans and pushed the equipment to the Juyong Pass.
"Sure enough, once you get close, the artillery will have no lethality!"
Wanyan Yinshu saw that the enemy's artillery gradually stopped and laughed. The artillery can hit several miles away, but it cannot hit within a few hundred steps. As long as it advances within a mile, it will run away and there will be no threat.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Yinshu was overjoyed and no longer felt bad about the thousands of corpses left behind during the advance. As long as Juyong Pass was taken, the death of a few people would be nothing.
"Siege the city!"
Wanyan Yinshuke pulled out the sword from his waist and roared. A dozen strong men behind him raised their horns and blew them. The low sound of the horns resounded throughout the mountains.
"kill!"
The Jurchens roared and began to attack the city. Most of the trebuchets and cannonstones had been destroyed, and only the remaining ones were still operating.
"beat!"
Tang Bin roared loudly, Juyong closed the bowstring and made a loud sound. Arrows rained down, including crossbows. The remaining trebuchets and cannonstones were destroyed.
"General Tang, do you want a bomb?"
Ling Zhen looked at Tang Bin and asked, if a bomb is dropped at this time, the enemy can be defeated in an instant.
"No, stay a while, these enemies won't reveal all their cards yet!"
Tang Bin shook his head and said, there are only 10,000 enemies. They killed several hundred during the day and nearly a thousand more just now. Now there are less than 8,000 attacking the city. It is impossible for this small number of people to threaten Juyong Pass.
