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

Although the east bank of the river is surrounded by mountains

It can house a million soldiers.

But there was no food or provisions.

However, it is difficult to support even 10,000 soldiers.

Incompetent local officials in the Song Dynasty

Unable to wipe out Tian Hu, who was plundering everywhere.

But they also knew to blockade food supplies.

To prevent Tian Hu from becoming too powerful.

Tian Hu also did not want the Song Dynasty to send a large army to deal with him.

Therefore, they only maintained a few thousand troops.

Chapter 1677 Rising with Divine Might

Until the meeting of the four kings,

Feeling that the Song Dynasty was doomed,

That's when they raised the flag and rebelled.

They greatly expanded their army.

However, apart from several thousand ruthless bandits under his command,

However, they were all recruited through a combination of enticement and coercion.

Many of them were bandits, thugs, and ruffians from various places.

To train these people into qualified soldiers,

This is clearly not an easy task.

In addition, Tian Hu needed to support 200,000 troops.

The only option is to impose heavy taxes on the people of Hedong.

The people of Hedong have always been known for their fierceness.

Therefore, his troops spent most of their time collecting taxes in the countryside.

The training progressed even slower.

Guan Sheng and his troops had just arrived.

Seeing the troops from Hedong charging towards them.

Without hesitation,

He immediately led his troops to charge forward.

The two armies were still several dozen paces apart.

Dozens of fireballs then streaked through the air.

They threw it into the ranks of the troops from Hedong.

A loud bang,

The people in the lead fell to the ground.

Taking the initiative, this wave of attacks,

This threw the troops in Hedong into chaos.

Although only the soldiers within a few dozen feet of the center were attacked.

The more than 20,000 troops from Hedong, arrayed in battle formation, stretched as far as the eye could see.

However, the unrest spread throughout the entire army.

Fire and thunder are extremely powerful.

The momentum was even more astonishing.

Each of the Liang soldiers was equipped with some throwers.

Responsible for launching a wave of fire mines before the two armies engage in battle.

Its effectiveness may be limited against regular troops.

However, it is remarkably effective against a mob.

While the troops east of the river were still hesitating between fighting and retreating...

The Liang army had already charged forward with unstoppable momentum.

The first to arrive were Guan Sheng, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen, Zhang Qing, Qiu Yingniang, Gong Wang, and Ding Desun.

It was like a sharp arrow slicing through the enemy ranks.

They rushed straight towards Bian Xiang's command flag.

A dozen or so feet apart,

Gong Wang then lit a fire bomb.

Throw it at the commander's flag.

Gong Wang was originally skilled with throwing spears.

However, after the fire and thunder were made public...

He then developed a liking for throwing fire bombs.

His thrown spears could pierce through heavy armor.

But it can only kill one person.

But fire and thunder can blast down a whole area.

The two are not comparable in power.

His previously painstakingly practiced spear-throwing skill,

It's not entirely without its uses.

At least he threw it farther than most people.

The accuracy is also better.

Although with the power of fire and thunder,

It doesn't need to be too precise.

Tian Biao, along with his personal guards, stood beside Bian Xiang's banner.

Although they saw the Liang army advancing with unstoppable momentum,

But he did not intend to run away.

The three brothers were all outlaws.

Not lacking in courage,

Wasion is their stronghold.

Once it is captured by the Liang Dynasty

The troops in Hedong will inevitably collapse.

At that time, the world will be vast.

There was nowhere for them to hide.

Therefore, he had to supervise everyone to fight desperately for the state of Jin.

But when they saw Gong Wang throw out a fire bomb...

He couldn't help but nudge his warhorse to the side.

The power of fire and thunder is already well known.

No one wants to sacrifice their own flesh and blood.

To defend against fire and lightning capable of shattering iron armor.

Everyone thinks that way.

Those who saw the fire and thunder immediately took cover.

However, there are some people who cannot avoid it.

"go with!"

Bian Xiang was surrounded by his personal guards on all sides.

Seeing that there was no way to dodge,

The fire bomb had already been thrown in front of them.

He couldn't help but shout loudly,

With a flick of his axe,

Smash the fire and thunder with the axe.

Tian Biao was astonished to see the fireball flying towards him.

Just as he was about to imitate Bian Xiang and deflect the fire and thunder,

A burst of firelight had already appeared before our eyes.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise,

Tian Biao was the first to be hit.

Blown to pieces

Several of the guards around him were also killed or wounded.

Bian Xiang never expected that his casual snapshot would...

But the fire and thunder were sent towards Tian Biao's side.

They even blew up Tian Biao.

Tian Hu was a tyrannical man.

Although it wasn't intentional,

However, this matter is difficult to explain clearly.

Bian Xiang was stunned.

He was then thrown off his horse by the startled warhorse.

A single fireball startled all the warhorses within a radius of over ten zhang.

A warhorse carrying its rider charged straight at Guan Sheng.

Guan Sheng saw that the situation was not good.

Rise up with divine might,

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand drew a semicircle in the air.

He suddenly slapped the warhorse's belly.

The first to be affected were the rider's legs.

A chilling sound,

The knight immediately screamed in agony.

Then came the mournful neighing of warhorses.

Then, both man and horse collapsed to the ground with a thud.
