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

Monk Zhenbao nodded.

"Your Majesty is the Buddha incarnate,"

"To save all living beings."

"A mere gold thief, a demon incarnate,"

"How could they possibly defeat the Buddha's army?"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Cheers erupted from the center of the army.

The news was then relayed to the surrounding armies.

The local militia and laborers of the rear army,

Finally convinced that they had won a great victory,

So they cheered too.

Even the local militia were extremely excited.

Armed with weapons, they wanted to rush out and fight the Jurchens.

Another hour passed.

The Jin troops still did not attack.

The local militiamen were even getting a little impatient.

But then a messenger came galloping up on horseback:

"The laborers should bring out the military rations,"

"Let's fill our stomachs first."

Chapter 3168 Come on, let's have a one-on-one fight!

He shouted it more than ten times in a row.

The messenger left, grumbling and cursing.

He was still muttering curses under his breath: "These gold dogs, we don't even dare to hit them."

"I want to leave, but I don't want to."

"Just like a woman without testicles!"

"Hahahaha!"

The laborers who lived nearby

Hearing this, he burst into laughter.

Those further away, however, were unaware of what had happened.

They all asked around for information.

It was passed around and eventually spread.

Then bursts of laughter erupted again.

These laborers,

They were all recruited locally in Fanshi County.

They were ravaged by the Jurchens for three whole years.

In every household, someone starved to death.

Because the Jin army's demands for grain were becoming increasingly heavy.

The Ming army recently recaptured Fanshi County.

The announcement was made that laborers were to be recruited.

People from all around flocked to the area.

They were not afraid of being killed while transporting grain with the army.

Because they were starving to death.

During the battle just now,

The laborers were still somewhat afraid.

Now I feel relaxed.

They believed that the Ming Dynasty's soldiers were invincible.

Jars of river water were stirred up.

Due to limited resources, there was no firewood to boil water.

Everyone had no choice but to make do with tap water for a meal.

They were eating an old-fashioned version of compressed biscuits.

This thing is extremely valuable.

It's only taken out to eat in emergencies.

Like Zhang Guangdao's previous attack on Chitang Pass,

They've always just set up a pot, cooked, and eaten fresh food.

After the entire army finished eating their rations,

The Jin soldiers still did not attack.

"We need to find a way to provoke the enemy general."

Yao Pingzhong muttered to himself.

Before long, a young soldier came to the laborers.

They found a laborer and changed into a set of tattered clothes.

Immediately, the young general, dressed in tattered clothes, rode out into battle.

Carrying a wood-chopping knife, he arrived at the front of the two armies and shouted:

"Jin Gou Tou Zi Wanyan Zonghan,"

"I am Zhang San, a farmer from Fanshi County,"

"Dare you step forward and challenge me to a one-on-one duel!"

After the young general finished shouting in front of the Jin soldiers' formation,

He returned to the front of the Ming army and shouted again.

"Hahahaha!"

The vanguard, where Pharmacist Guo was stationed, heard it most clearly.

This made me burst into laughter.

After the young general finished shouting to the Ming army,

He then ran to the front of the Jin soldiers' formation and shouted.

Wanyan Zonghan was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

But as the commander-in-chief of the Jin army,

How could I possibly fight one-on-one with a guy dressed as a farmer?

The Jin generals dared not charge into battle.

But they dared to go and fight one-on-one.

They all rushed to Wanyan Zonghan to volunteer for battle.

Wanyan Zonghan pointed to a general and said:

"Go and kill that bastard!"

"Yes!"

However, it was Wanyan Loushi's second son, Wanyan Wulu, who went into battle.

He did not use a bow and arrow.

Instead, he rode out on horseback, spear in hand.

The young Ming general refused to engage in battle.

Instead, they screamed and shouted:

"Hey, run!"

"The golden dogs are here again to steal the farmers' grain!"

"The Jin dogs only dare to rob farmers, but they dare not fight against the Ming army!"

While shouting, he turned the horse around.

Then he rode back to the Ming army's main force.

Arriving at the front line,

This young soldier also shouted to his allies:

"All I have is a wood-chopping knife,"

"We can't beat those golden dogs,"

"You must avenge the people!"

Yue Fei was the first to react and shouted:

"Kill the Jin invaders, protect the people!"

"Kill the Jin invaders, protect the people!"

Yue Fei's men joined in the shouting.

This slogan quickly spread to all armies.

The morale of the Ming army soared even higher.

Wanyan Loushi came to Wanyan Zonghan's side:

"Withdraw the troops, and hold all the passes and fortresses to the death!"

"Only the former territory of the Liao Dynasty will remain."

Chapter 3169 Winning Over Newcomers

"Also, have him withdraw his troops from Yinshuke's side,"

“Return all prefectures and counties to the Ming Dynasty.”

"The former border between the Song and Liao dynasties,"

"It's the easiest to defend,"

"From now on, we need to shift from offense to defense."

Wanyan Zonghan stared intently at the tortoise formation opposite him.

Even though I was extremely unwilling,

But all he could do was grit his teeth and say, "Withdraw the troops!"

The entire Jin army was on horseback.

The supplies are at Pingxing Village.

Following the Gushan River, one can quickly retreat into the small bottle.

It's easy to set an ambush there.
