The Jurchens' navy was completely useless, and some of them had even abandoned their ships and fled ashore. The entire Liao River became completely dominated by the Zhou navy.

Looking at the warships showing off their power on the river, Wanyan Oru couldn't help but burst out of anger. He immediately ordered people to bring in crossbows and trebuchets, preparing to sink the warships on the river from the shore.

However, the crossbow and trebuchet were pushed to the shore. Before they could adjust their angles, they heard a loud "rumbling" sound on the ship.

It was also the first time for Wanyan Oru to hear such a loud noise, and his face turned pale with fright. The horse he was riding stood up in a neighing voice. If not for Wanyan Oru's superb riding skills, he would have been thrown off the horse.

Already.

Immediately afterwards, the crossbows and trebuchets on the river bank were destroyed one after another, and the soldiers sent were smashed and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The Jurchen soldiers, who have always been known for their fierceness, actually screamed in fear under such a cruel attack, and many people turned around and ran away. After all, this thunder-like attack was beyond their imagination.

"This...this is the opponent's firearm!"

Wanyan Oru felt his heart beating rapidly, and something called fear began to grow in his heart.

"That's it. You see the other party's ship is smoking and smelling of sulfur. It must be related to gunpowder."

At this time, the Han man next to him affirmed again.

Gunpowder is not a secret. It has even been used in fireworks for a long time. However, there are various formulas for gunpowder, and only Dazhou has the best gunpowder ratio.

"Can you make firearms?"

Wanyan Oru suddenly woke up and immediately grabbed the Han man's collar and asked.

In his opinion, since the Han people in Dazhou could make firearms, then the Han people under his command must also be able to make firearms.

"This...I...we do know how to prepare gunpowder, but it can only be used to make fireworks, not such weapons."

The Han people were frightened, but they still explained hesitantly.

"waste!"

Wanyan Oru pushed the opponent away angrily, then walked back and forth several times, and then looked at the crossbow and trebuchet that were destroyed by the opponent's firearms on the river bank.

"Send people to sneak into Zhou Kingdom immediately. No matter what method you use, you must get the manufacturing method of this kind of firearm!"

Wanyan Oru ordered the Han people under his command.

"Yes! General!"

Although this northern Han man felt that this matter was extremely difficult, he also saw that if he dared not agree, Wanyan Oru would definitely kill him with a knife, so he had to stabilize the other party first.

After Wanyan Oru ordered his men, he immediately raised his head and looked at the warship on the river again, his eyes full of fire.

It would definitely not take a day or two to obtain the manufacturing method of such a firearm, but he had a chance to obtain such a firearm, such as capturing an opponent's warship.

Although Wanyan Oru saw the power of firearms for the first time, he had a very keen premonition that this weapon was absolutely amazing and might even affect the outcome of the battlefield in the future, so he had to control it no matter what.

in hand.

It can also be seen from here that Wanyan Oru is indeed a natural general, with extremely terrifying intuition for the battlefield. This was also tempered by the Jurchens in harsh environments. It is no wonder that the Liao army lost consecutive battles against them before.

.

Wanyan Oru was determined to get the opponent's firearms, so he ordered again to bring in more crossbows and trebuchets to launch a fierce attack on the warships on the river. Although the opponent's firearms were sharp, as long as he

The offensive on both sides is fierce and will always damage the opponent's warships.

Even if the warship is sunk, Wanyan Oru can find a way to fish it up in the future and obtain this unprecedented firearm.

Following Wanyan Oru's order, tens of thousands of Jin troops immediately brought more siege equipment, but this time they were not used to attack the city, but to attack warships on the river.

The artillery on the ship also fired, and one hot shell after another hit the Jin army's ranks, focusing on those equipment that might pose a threat to the warship.

However, the number of cannons on the ship is limited. After all, the cannons have just been developed. Even if the navy is given priority, there are still only a few dozen.

Moreover, the Jin army was too numerous, so the artillery could not attack. Later, even the crossbows on the ship were used, but the Jin army was still allowed to transport the equipment within the attack range.

Then crossbow arrows and boulders flew, mixed with some fire oil cans.

Faced with this intensive attack, the warships on the river finally suffered some damage. The crossbow arrows and boulders did not cause much damage to the ships, but mainly threatened the soldiers on board.

But kerosene is the nemesis of warships. After all, wooden ships are most afraid of catching fire.

Therefore, in a very short period of time, several warships caught fire one after another. The soldiers on the ship were fighting the fires while trying to put out the fire while moving the warships behind to make way for other warships to attack.

The two sides went back and forth for a while, fighting fiercely, but in general, the losses on Wanyan Orulu's side were greater. After all, the warship itself is a small fortress, which can protect the safety of the soldiers to the greatest extent.

.

In fact, in the face of this situation, Wanyan Oru could completely withdraw his troops. As long as they retreated to a place where the warships could not reach them, the other side would be unable to do anything to them.

However, Wanyan Oru and his Jin Army officers were accustomed to being arrogant. They had never suffered a loss on the battlefield. Therefore, facing the enemy's provocation, they certainly could not sit back and watch, let alone avoid fighting.

Therefore, even though he saw an unfavorable situation on the battlefield, Wanyan Oru still did not order the troops to retreat. Instead, he sent a large number of servants from Liaoyang City to launch the attack in place of his elite troops.

Most of these servants were composed of Khitan, Bohai and Han people who had surrendered before. They were originally cannon fodder in the Jin army, so Wanyan Oru didn't care no matter how many casualties there were.

However, what Wanyan Oru never expected was that just when he transferred his troops from Liaoyang City, he had fallen into the trap of Zhou and Liao.

Just southeast of Liaoyang City, the Liao army that had conquered Chenzhou was rushing towards Liaoyang City as quickly as possible.

By the time Wanyan Oru got the news, the Liao army had already reached the gates of Liaoyang City. This surprised Wanyan Oru and he hurriedly led his army to return reinforcements.

However, the warships on the river now made a gesture of docking. It seemed that as long as Wanyan Oru was with them, they would land immediately. By then, Wanyan Oru would be attacked from both sides.

Faced with this situation, Wanyan Oru yelled angrily. He did not expect that the Liao army, which he had defeated so completely, would have the courage to attack on his own initiative. He also did not expect that this fleet was just to attract the troops in front of him.

Come and let yourself fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now. In the end, Wanyan Oru could only leave part of his troops to hold off the fleet, and then he led most of the Jin army to Liaoyang City, hoping to block the Liao army's attack.
