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

With them as our support

Zengtou City's strength is clearly capable of growing significantly.

In times of chaos,

This also gives them more capital to hold for a higher price and sell.

According to the Zeng family's original estimate...

Even if they seized the horses from Yinma River,

There's no need to worry about Liangshan retaliating.

Because it is currently the dead of winter.

Even marching was difficult for the large army.

Not to mention leading troops to attack cities.

But reality clearly slapped them in the face.

They just surrounded Yinmachuan.

They hadn't managed to snatch any horses from Deng Fei and his men yet.

Liangshan is not afraid of wind and snow.

Traveling thousands of miles

A large army was dispatched to Zengtou City.

"Grandpa, this is actually a good thing,"

Shi Wengong smiled and said,

"If it were in that marshland,"

"Even though Liangshan had the advantage of terrain,"

"With only our limited manpower,"

"They were probably scattered by Liangshan long ago."

"And now,"

“This Zengtou City is our territory,”

"We already have the advantage of terrain."

"It's the dead of winter now, and the weather is very cold,"

"It is simply not suitable for large-scale military campaigns."

“It will be much easier for us to defend the city than it is in the summer.”

"This is the opportune moment."

"Finally, everyone in Zengtou City is united as one,"

"Let's work together to deal with Liangshan!"

"This is the essence of harmony between people!"

"We in Zengtou City have the perfect combination of favorable timing, geographical advantage, and popular support,"

"How could we possibly lose this battle!"

"Haha, the teacher is right,"

Zeng Tu also laughed.

"If we can defeat the Liangshan army this time,"

“Our Zengtou City,”

"Then we'll be famous all over the world."

"If that Liangshan leader just now really was the chief of Liangshan,"

Shi Wengong's ambition was clearly much greater than Zeng Tu's.

"If we can capture him,"

"At that time, you can either hand it over to the authorities,"

"In exchange for high-ranking official positions and generous salaries."

"Or we could take him with us to Jeju Island,"

"Let's seize this opportunity to take control of Liangshan Marsh..."

Chapter 1443 Turtle Shell

"The history teacher is right,"

Zeng Tu laughed,

"If we could capture this Liangshan chieftain in one fell swoop,"

"The days when Zengtou City was booming,"

"It won't be long!"

"I've heard that the leader of Liangshan is quite the ladies' man,"

Zeng Suo chuckled lewdly.

"There are several women in the village who are as beautiful as angels,"

"Once we take over Liangshan,"

"Then, one for each of us will be just right!"

"Hahaha......"

On the city wall of Zengtou City,

It was full of arrogant young men like Zeng Tu and Shi Wengong.

...

the other side,

Zhao Yuan and the others took more than an hour.

This is how Zengtou City was acquired.

I checked them all.

"This is really troublesome,"

Lin Chong said angrily,

“Except for the city wall on the front,”

"The remaining three sides,"

"It's all sheer cliffs."

"If it's hot,"

"It will also allow the soldiers to climb a little,"

"But with this weather now,"

"It was already freezing cold,"

"The ice and snow are stuck to the cliff face,"

"It's very slippery."

"I'm afraid they won't even be able to climb up there."

"Now it seems that to break through Zengtou City,"

Xu Ning frowned and said,

"I'm afraid the only option is to launch a direct assault on the city walls."

"But those city walls aren't so easy to take down."

"Chieftain,"

Luan Tingyu hesitated for a moment.

He still spoke up.

"Now it's the dead of winter,"

"It was never suitable for large-scale military operations,"

"We have already forced Zengtou City to abandon its siege of Yinmachuan,"

"How about... we withdraw the troops first?"

"When spring arrives and the flowers bloom,"

"To lead the army again?"

After Luan Tingyu said those words,

This immediately gained the approval of Lin Chong and others.

“Brother, Teacher Luan is right,”

Lin Chong said,

"Let's not linger here any longer,"

"Besides wasting money and supplies,"

"I'm afraid it won't do any good."

"In my opinion, we should divide our forces in half,"

"Let's go to Yinma River."

"That way, even after we leave,"

"We are not afraid even if Zengtou City sends troops to surround Yinmachuan again."

"Go back, go back, go back my ass!"

Li Kui immediately objected.

"If we come here for nothing,"

"Wouldn't people laugh at us for being a coward?"

"This has boosted the morale of those bastards for no reason!"

"Brother, give me five hundred soldiers,"

"I refuse to believe that I can't climb the city wall of Zengtou City."

"What Teacher Luan and Coach Lin said is correct,"

Lu Zhishen also spoke up.

"But Tie Niu's words also make sense,"

"We've come all this way to Zengtou City,"

"Unless you achieve something truly remarkable,"

"Wouldn't we be ridiculed by the whole world?"

"Why don't we think of a way?"

"Let's see if we can lure the Zengtou City troops out?"

"That's probably going to be difficult."

Huyan Zhuo said helplessly,

"After that night, we launched a night attack on Zengtou City,"
