After the Jurchens withdrew out of the range of Wu's cannons, order was finally restored under the command of officers.
However, at this moment, all the Jurchen's senior generals were gathered in the newly built tent.
Everyone anxiously watched as the Jurchen Khan, Wanyan Jian, lay unconscious on the bed, being treated by the Jurchen shamanic healer accompanying the army.
After the Jurchen shaman finished his treatment, Wanyan Gun immediately led a group of high-ranking Jurchen generals to surround him and anxiously ask:
"How is my father?"
"How is the Great Khan?"
"The Great Khan, he..."
Hearing the words of the key Jurchen general before him, the Jurchen shaman sighed and said tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, this has damaged the very foundation. I'm afraid... sigh."
With a sigh, the Jurchen general in front of him felt his heart sink.
Afterwards, many hot-tempered Jurchen generals said:
"Damn it, I'll slaughter the capital of the Southern Dynasty to avenge the Great Khan."
Following their call, countless Jurchen generals began to shout.
They slaughtered the capital to avenge the Great Khan.
When Wanyan Gun, who was standing in front, saw this scene, he wanted to speak up and stop it, but he found that the Jurchen generals had been blinded by anger.
He wouldn't listen to a word he said.
Instead, they continued to shout that they wanted to avenge the Great Khan.
He wanted to suppress it, but he realized that he didn't have the same prestige as his father.
They simply couldn't control the enraged Jurchen generals.
He then saw a large group of Jurchen generals walking out of the main tent in anger.
He began leading the Jurchen army to attack the capital.
He was completely helpless in the face of this.
It happened so suddenly; his father had fallen, but he hadn't had time to establish his prestige in the army.
As the Jurchens began their relentless siege, not far from them...
Zhang Hengshuo, who was in the main camp, immediately understood.
Wanyan Jian is definitely in trouble.
Otherwise, the Jurchens would never have done something as foolish as launching a full-scale attack on the capital.
He had to report this matter to the young marshal.
At this moment, Li Qin was leading a large army and was about to arrive in the capital.
He immediately received a letter from Zhang Hengshuo.
After seeing the above content.
Li Qin was also startled. The Jurchens were launching a fierce attack on the capital, and it seemed that Wanyan Jian was in trouble.
Moreover, the Wu army in the capital seems to possess a weapon that can launch iron balls and produce smoke and a loud noise.
Li Qin frowned as he looked at the letter Zhang Hengshuo had delivered.
The letters he sent contained a wealth of information.
According to intelligence sent by Zhang Hengshuo, the Jurchens are now launching a fierce attack on the capital.
However, Wanyan Jian did not come out to stop it.
It should be noted that although the capital city is currently sparsely armed, it is still a fortified city with high walls and thick defenses.
Moreover, the people inside must have made some preparations during this period.
The Jurchens had just arrived; they certainly hadn't yet built any large siege engines.
Now they've started a reckless, all-out attack on the capital.
This is extremely irrational.
This is something that Wanyan Jian would never do.
Wanyan Jian had been fighting for decades, and he was a guy who would kneel down to the Li family for profit, change his surname, and call the original owner's father his godfather.
He is an extremely calm person.
Therefore, Wanyan Jian has definitely encountered some kind of trouble, not just a possibility.
Something must have happened to him.
He was no longer able to command the army.
Li Qin saw Zhang Hengshuo and the mysterious weapon he mentioned that was used to attack the Jurchen camp.
Based on Zhang Hengshuo's description, Li Qin immediately thought of artillery.
After thinking about artillery, Li Qin gradually frowned.
Because he never found any memories about cannons in the original owner's memories.
You should know that the original owner had followed his father in battles for decades.
However, he had never seen or heard the original owner's father mention cannons.
Therefore, Li Qin always believed that there were no cannons in this world at present.
However, based on Zhang Hengshuo's description, the capital city was very likely equipped with cannons.
If it really is artillery, then they've hidden it very well.
Most importantly, if he could take control of those cannons, they would be a powerful weapon for him.
A powerful weapon for siege warfare.
Li Qin looked at the army behind him and immediately addressed them:
"The entire army should speed up its march and reach the capital before nightfall."
After he finished speaking, Li Qin took the lead and rushed forward.
The more than 100,000 troops immediately rushed forward.
Urged on by Li Qin, the army immediately began a forced march.
They rushed as fast as they could and finally arrived in the capital before dark.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on the city walls of the capital.
Li Qin knew that after so long of "purging the emperor's inner circle," he had finally reached the walls of the capital.
At this time, the walls of the capital were filled with the smoke of gunpowder, and the area beneath the walls was littered with Jurchen women with their signature gold-tailed rats.
Remnants of gold molten metal can still be seen on some of the city walls.
Below were broken, makeshift ladders.
It was obvious that the Jurchens had just finished a siege, and their preparations for the siege were extremely inadequate.
The siege began before any large siege engines were even built.
Wanyan Jian would never do such a thing.
This completely convinced Li Qin that Wanyan Jian was in trouble.
After scanning the area, Li Qin looked at Qi Duchen beside him, and Qi Duchen immediately took out a monocular telescope.
After receiving the monocular telescope, Li Qin immediately began to carefully observe the Wu army's defenses on the city wall.
This monocular telescope was a trophy he acquired during the Battle of Tushubao.
He found it while inspecting the spoils of war.
It must be said that his spoils in the Battle of Tushubao were enormous.
It could be said that the Battle of Tushubao was enough to satisfy him.
The amount of stuff seized was simply too much.
Li Qin watched Wu Jun's deployment on the city wall through his monocular telescope.
Upon seeing that familiar object, a smile gradually appeared on Li Qin's lips.
Finally, Li Qin nodded.
Yes.
That familiar thing was the original version of the cannon.
Unexpectedly, Wu Jun actually had artillery in the capital.
This was a pleasant surprise for Li Qin.
If he captures the capital and acquires these cannons, it will greatly help him in pacifying the south and conquering the fortified cities there.
As long as I have artillery and enough time, I can blast open any fortified city.
After scanning the battlefield through his binoculars, Li Qin...
He addressed the generals behind him:
"The army is preparing to set up camp and has ordered craftsmen to build siege equipment in preparation for the attack on the city."
"yes."
After Li Qin issued the order, the general immediately began to set up the camp according to his command.
Li Qin then summoned one of his messengers and said:
"You represent me and go to the Jurchen military camp to see what's wrong with Wanyan Jian."
