Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

The fourth time was when he followed Wanyan Zongwang in attacking the Song Dynasty.

He was chased and beaten by Pharmacist Guo in Yanshan Prefecture.

Nearly a third of the casualties fled back to the camp.

Just how strong is its fighting power?

Just look at their record above.

When Zhao Li, Song Jiang, Yelü Yudu, Shi Huan, and others...

When they crossed the sea and landed outside Jian'an City

Wanyan Gou Shi was so frightened that he hid in the city and dared not go out.

He only had a little over a thousand Jurchen soldiers in total.

Moreover, nearly half of them were sent to the countryside to conscript soldiers and collect grain.

To be honest, even defending the city would be a struggle.

Not to mention fighting outside the city.

People of all ethnic groups within the city,

They were all organized by Wanyan Goushi to defend the city.

These people were mainly Han Chinese and Bohai people.

Most of them belonged to the class of merchants and artisans.

"General Yelü, please take a look."

Zhao Li handed over the binoculars.

Chapter 1972 Siege and Reinforcements

Yelü Yudu carefully observed the city's defenses.

They discovered that there were very few regular troops defending the city.

Most of them were civilians who had been hastily armed, and they immediately rejoiced:

"This city can be taken!"

Zhao Li said, "I'll bombard them for two or three days first."

"Build some siege equipment,"

"The general then went to recruit brave men from various tribes."

"Incidentally, we can also besiege the city and attack reinforcements."

The nearest Jurchen troops are in Fuzhou.

The military commander there was named Hu Sha.

He was known as "Grand Commandant Hu Sha".

Ten years ago, the people of Fuzhou and Suzhou (Dalian) rebelled against the Jin dynasty.

The Han, Xi, and Bohai ethnic groups are united as one.

They claimed to have an army of 100,000.

The Jin troops in southern Liaoning were routed and forced to retreat in defeat.

Finally, they retreated to Husha's fortress.

The rebel army failed to conquer the city after a prolonged siege.

And food supplies ran out.

They even resorted to exchanging children to eat.

The Jin reinforcements arrived.

With the cooperation of both inside and outside,

They slaughtered tens of thousands of rebel soldiers, who scattered and fled.

This great uprising is not over yet.

The flames of resistance against the Jin dynasty burned from southern Liaoning all the way to Goryeo (Korea).

People of all ethnic groups fled to the mountains and islands.

Continue to fight the Jin army.

It was only after nearly a hundred battles, large and small, that it was suppressed by the Jin Dynasty.

Even many landlords fled with their families.

They were unwilling to accept the brutal rule of the Jin dynasty.

The Khitan and Xi people who were forcibly relocated here

More than a thousand ships gathered in an attempt to set sail.

They were blocked and chased by the Jin soldiers.

Many people fled to the sea and disappeared without a trace.

This is the Jin Dynasty.

They forced people of all ethnic groups to unite in resisting the Jin!

.....

Fuzhou.

Hu Sha, the leader of the Jurchens in southern Liaoning, is old.

Faced with Wanyan Goushi's envoy seeking help,

He simply said, "After I gather my troops,"

"We will proceed to the rescue immediately."

The messenger was dismissed with a few words.

Hu Sha immediately reinforced the city's defenses.

He showed absolutely no intention of sending troops to rescue them.

Instead, they prepared to defend their city to the death.

The Liaonan Uprising of ten years ago

Hu Sha remembers it vividly.

Wubao was almost breached several times.

The various ethnic groups' militia outside Wubao,

They would rather eat human flesh to survive.

We must also eliminate him.

From that time on,

All he knew was that preserving his life was the priority.

What situation will you encounter?

Let's just hold the city and wait for reinforcements.

As for the safety of Wanyan Goushi,

What does it have to do with Hu Sha?

Hu Shah's side watched as their allies were surrounded.

Yelü Yudu, however, led cavalry.

They headed straight for the Khitan village.

Small group of Jurchen cavalry

They are conscripting soldiers and collecting grain in the countryside.

Upon seeing the Shandong bandit cavalry, they immediately fled.

They dared not return to the city.

Instead, it ran wildly north.

They kept blowing horns in an attempt to gather more troops.

"I am Yelü Yudu, where are the men of Khitan?"

Yelü Yudu stood on horseback in the village.

"Commander-in-Chief, it's the Commander-in-Chief leading the troops back!"

"We are saved!"

"Khitan men, take up your weapons and kill the Jurchens!"

“…”

Shouts rose and fell.

One after another, young and strong people spread the news.

Gradually, even the elderly, the weak, women, and children came.

Yelü Yudu said, "I will give you twenty horses."

"Go immediately and gather the people from all the villages and clans,"

"Let them bring their ill-gotten gains,"

"I don't want anything that's too heavy."

"Encountering Han Chinese and Xi people,"

"We also told them that the Chinese emperor had come to save them,"

"Those who don't want to be dogs of the Jurchens, come and join the army!"

Riding horses brought in a surplus of horses.

It was soon handed over to the young and strong Khitan men.

Let them spread the message throughout the surrounding villages.

A Khitan youth said, "The Han people can raise the banners of Hou Gai and Wu Zhuangtian."

"These two are heroes of the Han Dynasty,"

"They turned southern Liaoning upside down back then,"

"They were eventually killed by the Jurchens and their whereabouts remain unknown."

Chapter 1973 Breaking Through from Within

"It can be claimed that the two kings received an imperial edict from the Han emperor,"

"He has led his troops back to southern Liaoning,"

"Men from all over the country will surely join the army enthusiastically!"

"Alright, let's use these two as our names."

Yelü Yudu praised him.

The young and strong men of the Khitan rode their horses and spread the news.

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred,

People of all ethnic groups came to join them.

They even took initiative.
