Three hundred and forty-four water offensive

Wanyan Yongzhen has returned from a great victory.

And he also made great contributions.

In this battle, he not only defeated the Khitan cavalry, but also led the Jin cavalry to kill the main general of the Khitan army, causing a great collapse of the Khitan infantry.

The Jin army then fought back in full swing and defeated the Khitan Restoration Army under Liaoyang City in one fell swoop.

The Khitan Restoration Army fled everywhere, pushing each other, trampling on each other, killing each other. In the end, more than 20,000 people successfully fled north, more than 10,000 people died here, and more than 10,000 people became prisoners of war.

Blood flowed all over the ground and corpses piled up like mountains.

This was the first major defeat of the Khitan Restoration Army since the Khitan Uprising, and it was also the first major victory of the Jin army since the Great Uprising. It reversed the decline of the Jin army since the Great Uprising and greatly boosted the morale of the Jin army.

After winning a great victory, the Jin army did not stop there. At Wanyan Yong's strong suggestion, Wuyan Pu Luhun decided to send troops to fight, pursue the defeated Khitan troops, and open up the situation.

He led the army to leave Liaoyang Prefecture, attacked north, attacked all the way, and successfully recovered the territory occupied by the Khitan Restoration Army.

The Jin army advanced all the way, conquering Xianping Prefecture, Hanzhou, Xinzhou and other places again, and reclaiming these places to the control of the Jin government.

Immediately afterwards, Wuyan Puluhun ordered a large number of Khitans who followed Saba rebelled, and found that as many as they were killed, it shocked people and made the Khitans dare not rebel again.

On the surface, he said so.

The Jin soldiers then indulged and no one was in charge.

They killed more than 30,000 Khitans within a few days, and their blood flowed into a river and their heads rolled.

Wanyan Yong was very dissatisfied with this.

He strongly opposed the massacre of Wuyan Puluhun, believing that this would arouse the hatred of the Khitans against the Jurchens, make them more fiercely resist, and unite more closely around Saba, making it difficult for them to divide and disintegrate.

In this way, it will be much more difficult to completely suppress the Khitan uprising. Even if the main force is defeated, Yuzhe will continue to try to revolt and resist. It will still be very difficult for them to finally pacify Liaodong.

Wuyan Pu Luhun doesn't think so.

"Your Majesty will be very happy if I do this. As for the rest, it is not important. They have no weapons, no army, only fear, and it is impossible to accomplish anything."

After hearing this, Wanyan Yong was speechless.

So the Jin army advanced and plundered, not only the people of the Khitan Restoration Army, but also the common people. Wherever they passed, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.

Production and life in Xianping Prefecture, Hanzhou, Xinzhou and other places were severely damaged, and a large number of people fled with their families, trying to avoid the cruel pursuit of the Jin army.

It is conceivable that in the foreseeable future, it will be difficult for these regions to return to pre-war state.

However, the Jin army's offensive was smooth and all lost land except Longzhou were recovered.

They were stubbornly resisted by the local Khitans and the Khitan Restoration Army in Longzhou, and it was difficult to advance for a while. However, this resistance could not last long. Wuyan Puluhun mobilized his troops to attack the local area, and soon brought the local Khitan resistance forces into decline.

Then there was another wave of fierce massacre, killing a large number of Khitans who dared to resist in the local area, which was very miserable.

At this point, in the area south of Linhuang Prefecture, the Khitan Restoration Army's actions reached a low point and were difficult to be excited for a while.

After Saba met with Yilawowo's troops, he gathered all his troops to attack Linhuang Mansion.

The Jin army defenders of Linhuang Prefecture could not confront him and were defeated under the powerful offensive of the Khitans.

So Saba finally led the Khitan Restoration Army to conquer Linhuang Prefecture and recover the Khitans' hometown. However, before he could be happy, news of the entire Khitan army in Liaoyang Prefecture being wiped out.

Saba hated the incompetence and stupidity in Kuo, but he had to feel sad about the war that followed.

After Su Yonglin learned about the battle situation during this period, Su Yonglin felt relieved for some reason.

The combat effectiveness and organizational level of Khitan's Restoration Army were completely incomparable to the elites under his command.

Not to mention combat effectiveness, just talking about Saba, who was the leader, could not control his subordinates, and even had to divide his troops with his subordinates, causing the destruction of a main army, which seemed incredible to Su Yonglin.

As a leader, he cannot control his subordinates. The internal organizational problems of this Khitan army have not been clarified at all. There are many problems and are very big.

This big defeat should be a big blow to Saba. It would be very difficult to restore strength in a short period of time.

Therefore, the possibility that the Khitan Restoration Army would grow and develop into a powerful Khitan country that he was worried about should be ruled out after this battle.

This is undoubtedly the most advantageous way for him.

The Khitan Restoration Army continued to exist but could not grow and expand. It continued to attract some of the troops of the Jin Kingdom, but it would not be another threat after overthrowing the Jin Kingdom...

Thinking of this, Su Yonglin felt that he was quite hateful and his mind was quite evil.

But then again, no matter how evil the mind is, he must be able to withstand Wanyan Liang's attack and eliminate him with one wave of backstop. If he can't do it, then everything is just a bigger joke.

What needs to be clear is that Wanyan Liang still had quite powerful power at this time. After defeating Xiao Huaizhong's 30,000 troops, the Khitan Restoration Army still could not capture Liaoyang Prefecture while pursuing it, but was dragged down.

This proves that the Jin Dynasty's rule in Liaodong still has a certain intensity.

At least until they break the powerful shell of Wanyan Liang, they are still strong.

This requires one to be careful and careful, and to use all its strength to weaken Wanyan Liang's power before the formal decisive battle.

In addition to opening up the situation in Xiongzhou and Bazhou, the fastest and fastest way to weaken him... was probably the maritime attack.

In mid-to-late June, Su Yonglin rushed to the beach again to inspect the gradually formed naval forces, and boarded the huge flagship Guangfu sea ship with Sun Ziyi, watching the sailors drive ships to conduct maritime combat practices.

The mainstream of water war during this period was of course the jumping gang war, with the main combat method of ships close-fitting.

After the ships were close to each other, the crossbowmen on the ship shot arrows and attacked, then set up wooden boards to let the sailors on their own warships rush onto the opponent's warships and defeated the sailors on the opponent's warships, and captured the entire ship.

The long-range weapons and equipment used in combat are relatively limited and their power is not very high. For example, the bed crossbow is an amazing long-range weapon, and water battles are mainly about getting close to the enemy.

When Su Yonglin was building the navy, he required the navy to be equipped with some sharp long-range attack weapons, so even a small warship was equipped with a bed crossbow, and a large warship was equipped with more than three bed crossbows, so the long-range firepower was considered good.

Moreover, these bed crossbows do not use simple big arrows, but improved rockets.

According to Su Yonglin's request, the gunpowder craftsmen of the Ordnance Division's Gunpowder Bureau tied cylindrical bamboo tubes or iron tubes to the arrows, built-in granular gunpowder, and some iron sheets, stones and the like.

When the rocket is launched, the leads of the gunpowder cartridge will explode in the end.

Su Yonglin also saw the effect of the explosion.

Because it is a large crossbow arrow, it can increase the volume of the gunpowder cartridge and increase the amount of medicine, so it is more powerful when exploded.

Not only is it a sound like a thunder, it also has a certain lethality after the explosion. After the explosion, the gunpowder cartridge can explode more than a dozen scarecrows in leather and light armor around it.

As for the accurate head, it is hard to say. When a ship is driving on the water, it has relatively large fluctuations. It is not strange that it cannot concentrate the target after launch, so it needs to rely on a lot of training to enhance the accurate head.

The launch efficiency of the bed crossbow is also relatively low, requiring more than a dozen or even twenty soldiers to work together to launch. The launch interval is relatively long, so it is obviously unqualified to be used as a main combat weapon.

However, it is still possible to cause trouble and slash the morale of the enemy.

Su Yonglin took a boat into the sea and personally inspected the crossbow launching teams on ten warships at sea to attack imaginary enemy ships about 200 meters away with new rockets. As a result, only two rockets hit the enemy ship and successfully exploded, causing serious damage.
