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

He reached out and released his hands, which were tied behind his back.

The blade sliced ​​through.

A gap suddenly appeared in the rope.

It fell to the ground!

The two soldiers behind him were also caught off guard by Fang Jie's reckless attack.

I was terrified.

I haven't decided whether to deliver the next blow to the other person yet.

It was still handed to Fang Jie.

Fang Jie then got close to him.

They seized the weapons.

He was chopped down and fell to the ground.

Fang Jie seized the weapon.

He hurriedly rescued Fang Baihua and Wang Yin, who were standing nearby.

The three then split up to rescue the others.

Xin Xingzong was locked in combat with Han Shizhong.

Seeing Fang Jie and the others suddenly start fighting, he hurriedly shouted,

"Stop fighting, capture the rebels first."

Upon seeing this, Han Shizhong hurriedly shouted for his men to stop.

Fang La, dressed in a dragon robe, received the highest bounty.

The largest number of soldiers and officers fought around him.

Although Fang Jie and his men were all heading towards Fang La's location,

However, it was impossible to kill all of Fang La's people in a short time.

Fang La noticed that the surrounding officials and soldiers had stopped fighting amongst themselves.

They gathered around, shouting in a panic.

"Don't worry about me, you guys break through quickly."

"Fang Jie, take Baihua with you."

As he spoke, he bumped into the Western Army soldier next to him, knocking him down.

Other Manichaean leaders who are still bound

They also fearlessly attacked the Western Army around them, creating chaos.

Fang Jie cut down a Western Army soldier with a single stroke.

He grabbed Fang Baihua beside him and rushed down the mountain.

Wang Yin and the others followed Fang Jie and rushed down the slope.

Han Shizhong, however, was agile and skillful.

They quickly broke through the crowd.

They caught up with Wang Yin and his group.

"Brothers, let's fight! These scoundrels are trying to steal people again."

Han Shizhong has just captured one person.

Just as they were about to continue their pursuit,

But then they heard a loud shout from behind.

Turning his head, he saw that Xin Xingzong had once again seized the opportunity to rob Fang La.

Several of his own soldiers had already been killed.

Han Shizhong also knew which was more important.

However, he also couldn't stand by and watch his troops be slaughtered.

He gritted his teeth and returned to fight Xin Xingzong.

Upon seeing this, the soldiers pursuing Fang Jie and his men...

They all ended up fighting each other again.

Fang Baihua and the others ran a short distance,

Seeing that there were no pursuers behind them...

Only then did I dare to slow down a little.

Fang Jie fought for a while,

He was also out of breath, panting.

"Auntie, which way do we go?"

Fang Baihua turned her head and saw that only thirteen people had rushed out. After thinking for a moment,

"The officers and soldiers will definitely take the Holy Duke and the others to Tokyo,"

"We went to Liangshan to ask for help and request them to send troops to rescue the Holy Duke."

Wang Yin frowned and said, "I'm afraid Liangshan won't be willing to rescue the Holy Duke."

"Why don't we head south and join forces with Lü Shinang, Yu Daoan, and their troops?"

"There are still over 100,000 troops who didn't have time to return to provide reinforcements,"

"With our hundreds of thousands of troops, we can also save the Holy Duke."

"Yes, we've placed our hopes on Liangshan,"

“If they are unwilling to lend a helping hand, wouldn’t the Holy Duke be in danger?”

"The Marshal is right, it's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Fang Baihua saw that everyone agreed with Wang Yin's words.

Her delicate brows furrowed involuntarily.

"If Tong Guan arrests the Holy Duke,"

"Immediately send men to escort the Holy Duke north,"

"How could we catch up if we went south?"

Fang Jie nodded and said, "The Holy Maiden is right. Tong Guan has captured the Holy Duke, and he will surely be eager to claim credit."

"I'm afraid they'll be sending men to escort the Holy Duke north soon."

Chapter 1734 Seeking Reinforcements from Liangshan

"If we head south now, we can reunite with Lü Shinang,"

"We must break through Tong Guan's army to advance north,"

"By then, the Holy Duke will probably have already been taken to Tokyo."

"The only way forward now is for us to head north as soon as possible,"

"We need to borrow some manpower from Liangshan to rescue the Holy Duke."

Fang Baihua, disregarding her reserve at this moment, nodded and said...

“The King of Liang and I have long since consummated our marriage.”

"He will definitely send troops to rescue the Holy Duke."

When Wang Yin heard Fang Baihua say this...

He then said no more.

With their minds made up, no one dared to delay.

After descending the mountain, they headed north.

The Western Army searching the mountain had already reached the mountainside.

The group descended the mountain but did not encounter any government soldiers.

But after descending the mountain, not far along...

Then they saw patrolling soldiers passing by in the distance from time to time.

Clearly, the Western Army still maintains a blockade of the area.

The group lay prone at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the continuous patrols in the distance,

They discussed countermeasures in hushed tones.

"How to do?"

"Rush over."

"Everyone is injured, and it's been a fierce battle for days,"

"They were completely exhausted. They probably wouldn't be able to get very far before they were all caught."

"Look, a troop of cavalry is coming from over there."

Fang Baihua had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and immediately said,

"Got it! Let's charge out!"

"Lure the cavalry over, then steal their horses and escape."

After saying that, he got up.

He charged ahead of the patrol team in the distance.

Fang Jie and the others quickly jumped up and followed.

The patrolling Western troops were somewhat dissatisfied that they hadn't been sent to search the mountains.

After all, capturing just one leader of the Manichaeism would be enough for them to enjoy endlessly.

Unfortunately, the mountain is not big.

Tong Guan couldn't possibly send all 100,000 of his remaining troops to the mountains.

They could only send a portion of each army unit up the mountain to search.

Surprisingly, some managed to slip through the net and rush down the mountain.

They shouted and rushed forward together.

The soldiers patrolling in the distance heard the sounds of fighting coming from this direction.

They immediately flocked over, all wanting a piece of the pie.

The cavalry unit saw an opportunity to gain an advantage.

They rushed over too.

Although they shouted loudly for the patrolling infantry to back off.

They made good use of their warhorses to charge.

However, the infantry was unwilling to give up the easy prey they had already acquired.

Instead of retreating, they engaged in a fierce battle with Fang Baihua and the others.

Of course they wanted to back out.

Fang Baihua and the others did not dare to ask them to leave.

Go and face the charge of the cavalry.
