Han Chang's bald and braided head was cut off from the body that had been cut into a skeleton, and hung together with other Tatar heads on the city gate of Shunchang Mansion.
Originally, according to the Han army's regulations for punishing barbarians and traitors, they only punished beheadings, and the newly established Han code did not include the punishment of Ling Chi.
But Han Changmin was extremely angry.
No matter in Shunchang City or in the surrounding areas outside Shunchang City, people continued to come to ask the Han government to cut Han Chang into pieces.
So after the prefect reported to the court, Han Chang was executed in the street.
Wanyan Wushu, who had arrived in Zhongdu at this time, had learned that Yue Fei had captured Shunchang, so he urgently ordered dozens of fast horses to convey the message, intercept the various Jin soldiers who were gathering at Shunchang, and asked them to divert to the north of Shunchang.
They gathered in Bozhou, two hundred miles away.
Even so, there were still many Jin soldiers who failed to get the latest news and rushed into the Shunchang Mansion where Yue Fei Tun had a heavy army.
They were ambushed one by one by the well-prepared Han army and ended up being annihilated.
Tens of thousands of people were lost before and after.
Wanyan Wushu did not change the other two attack plans because Yue Fei captured Shunchang Mansion.
The Jin soldiers in Xinyang and Pizhou continued to gather, and Wanyan Wushu planned to rely on his absolute superior strength to complete the battle.
Xinyang's 100,000 gold soldiers on the right will break through the three passes of Yiyang and then go straight to Jiangxia City in Ezhou.
After plundering the heart of Yue Fei's control area, the 100,000 golden soldiers on the left defeated the Han army in Chuzhou, and then plundered Huainan, directly cutting off the retreat of the Han army in the Northern Expedition.
Yue Fei's strategy is to defend two against one, that is, on the Xinyang front line, he ordered Niu Gao and his son to station at the third pass of Yiyang.
To the east, on the Pizhou line, Yang Yizhong has sent 3,000 troops to reinforce Chuzhou across the Huai River from Pizhou.
More than 20,000 newly reorganized Huainan internal affairs troops were also planned to be commanded by Yang Yizhong.
After receiving the military order from Yue Fei, the two thousand guardsmen of Chongming Island also took sea ships to Chuzhou.
Yue Fei's headquarters will concentrate on annihilating Wanyan Wushu's 100,000 troops on the middle road between Shunchang Prefecture and Bozhou, and then divide his troops into two groups to defeat the Jin armies assembled in Xinyang and Pizhou respectively.
For more than ten days in a row, Yue Fei and Wanyan Wushu remained silent, each making preparations silently.
The former goes to inspect the topography and landforms around Shunchang Mansion every day, including river bends and lake branches.
The latter trains his soldiers every day and patiently waits for reinforcements from all walks of life to arrive.
For this southern expedition, Wanyan Wushu specially studied the tactics to deal with the Beiwei soldiers of the old Yue family army.
Back then, these Beiwei soldiers were not afraid of the galloping cavalry.
They used long swords to chop the horses' legs.
Tiefutu and Guaizima defeated Wanyan Wushu.
But when Wanyan Wushu received the news of Han Chang's defeat and death, he gradually realized that the current Han army's tactics were completely different from those of the old Yuejia army, so the new tactics he came up with to break the Wei army were also It becomes meaningless.
There were several Jurchen centurions in Bozhou who survived the Battle of Shunchang.
After listening to their detailed descriptions, Wanyan Wushu knew that the decisive weapon in the hands of the Han army was no longer the long sword of the back, but an extremely powerful firearm.
But this firearm has two shortcomings.
One is that the range is not far enough, and the other is that the rate of fire is very slow.
He found several Han craftsmen for reference.
Based on these descriptions, the Han craftsmen determined that this was a weapon such as stones and lead fired by the explosion of gunpowder in an iron pipe.
Wanyan Wushu immediately asked them to think of ways to develop it.
Of course, it was impossible for these Han craftsmen temporarily recruited from around Bozhou to imitate the matchlock gun in a short period of time based on a few descriptions of the remnants of the Jin Army.
The process of making iron pipes is almost an insurmountable threshold, not to mention the production of match ropes and burning triggers.
In addition, you have to figure out how to load ammunition, what proportion of gunpowder formula to fill, and how much ammunition to fill.
However, Wanyan Wushu had issued a strict order.
If the sample could not be produced after three days, one of the craftsmen would be beheaded after one day's delay.
Driven by the desire to survive, these craftsmen took risks and groped.
In just three days, two people were blinded and one person died.
Three days later, Wanyan Wushu came to the military camp shooting range to see the firearm samples trial-produced by the craftsmen.
An old craftsman carefully offered something.
Wanyan Wushu took a look and saw that it was just a bamboo tube with circles of iron rings all over it.
A wooden handle is fixed behind the bamboo tube.

Wanyan Wushu winked and ordered the soldiers to order the craftsmen to test the guns themselves.
The old craftsman shook his hands, poured some gunpowder into the bamboo tube, inserted a stick into the bamboo tube to tamp it, and then stuffed a handful of lead pellets in.
Finally, hold the handle, point the bamboo tube at a distant target, and use a piece of lit incense to poke the hole reserved on the back end of the bamboo tube.
I saw a burst of black smoke, a crisp explosion, and the crackling sound of lead hitting an object.
A Jin soldier ran to the target and took a look.
There was no hole at all.
He shook his head at Wanyan Wushu.
Wanyan Wushu groaned and waved his hand.
The soldier next to him drew his sword and came to the old craftsman who was trembling and begging for mercy.
He raised his hand and cut off his head with a knife.
A centurion guard next to Wanyan Wushu said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry.
The newly made sample cannot be as perfect as Yue Fei's.
As long as this thing can be used initially, it will be perfected or obtained in the future."
If you imitate the complete sample, you will definitely be better than those Nanmanzi. " Wanyan Wushu nodded and said, "That's right.
This firearm will be given to you for use first."
When the centurion heard this, he said with great joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying this, he happily took off the ammunition bag and the bamboo musket from the old craftsman's body, and wanted to try it himself.
After loading the ammunition like an old craftsman, he walked less than thirty steps away from the target and lit it with the still-burning stick of incense.
Wanyan Wushu, who was taking a drink of tea, heard a different explosion than before and looked up quickly.
I saw that the centurion had fallen straight to the ground, whimpering incomprehensibly, and his legs were kicking.
His entire face was beyond recognition, and a metal iron ring was deeply embedded in his facial bones, which were already black and red.
Wanyan Wushu yelled angrily: "Kill, kill all those troublesome Han dogs."
After saying that, he threw the cup and returned to the Chinese army's tent angrily.
The Jin soldier in charge of measuring the target went to check the target again out of curiosity, but there was still no bullet hole on it.
Wanyan Wushu, who was sitting in the big tent, had a little less energy.
He summoned his soldiers and said: "Go, summon all the generals above the captain to come to my tent to discuss the strategy to deal with Yue Fei's new firearms.
The result will be determined without discussion."
You are not allowed to leave the meeting."
It didn't take long before all the generals above the captain's rank arrived.
There were nearly a hundred people, and the entire military tent was packed.
After listening to Yan Wushu's statement, these people were silent for a long time, looking at each other with small eyes.
Finally, in the silence, a voice sounded: "Your Majesty, I have a good strategy to defeat the enemy
