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

The Penghu Islands have been extensively cultivated by Han Chinese.

You can go there and establish yourself first.

Then gradually shift development to Ryukyu Island.

It was already late.

Emperor Xin Xingzong did not continue his military campaign.

Instead, they retreated two miles to set up camp.

While we're at it, we'll send some people to the surrounding residential areas to dismantle some houses for firewood.

Zhang Shun watched as the enemy retreated.

He seemed somewhat helpless.

"The ambush didn't work,"

We have to fight our way through.

Wu Bo asked in surprise, "Aren't we going to launch a night attack before it gets dark?"

Zhang Shun laughed, "A flock of startled birds."

"Why would we need a night raid?"

Wu Bo watched Zhang Shun leave the city wall.

I think this guy is too arrogant and conceited.

In the future, I might stumble because of carelessness.

Chapter 1819 We Want to Go Home

The victorious army captured some miners at the Qingyang ironworks.

Setting up camp and chopping wood are things like that.

Naturally, the miners should do it.

Moreover, Xin Xingzong was too lazy to build strong fortifications.

Firstly, the terrain is narrow and difficult to navigate.

Secondly, he was not afraid of the city's garrison attacking.

Even deliberately luring troops from the county seat,

They might even be able to turn the tide and storm the city.

The victorious army has indeed become useless.

Moreover, morale was low throughout the journey.

But they were not afraid of local militias.

They were invincible because of their superior equipment and weapons.

More than twenty miners

Under the leadership of the soldiers,

They rowed small boats to residential areas outside the city to demolish houses.

They haven't landed yet.

Then a drumbeat sounded.

A large number of soldiers emerged from civilian houses.

They gradually gathered and lined up on the street.

"There are... there are Ming soldiers!"

The victorious soldiers were taken aback.

He was immediately terrified and ran away.

Xin Xingzong heard the commotion two miles away and immediately said to his cousin,

"You take your soldiers aboard the ship to provide support,"

"I personally led the troops to form a battle formation on the shore."

"In such narrow terrain, our army possesses both land and water advantages,"

"Even if the Jin army comes, we are not afraid!"

The victorious army was lying lazily on the ground.

They chatted and boasted to pass the time.

The urgent bugle call sounded,

They thought it was the city's garrison troops attacking.

He slowly stood up and followed the officer to form ranks.

They were truly unafraid of the Xiang Army!

The soldiers who had been dismantling the house to collect firewood quickly rowed back, exclaiming in terror.

"It's not the local militia, it's the Ming army ahead."

"They were all armored, and their weapons were different,"

"You absolutely cannot be mistaken!"

Xin Xingzong was greatly alarmed: "How come the Ming army is ahead?"

He believed that Zhang Shun had killed Tong Guan.

Fuzhou still has a lot of mess to clean up.

It's impossible for them to deploy so quickly.

The originally composed and unhurried soldiers of the victorious army

They chatted and laughed as they formed ranks, ready to fight the local militia.

At this time, the troops near where Shin Heungjong was standing...

Upon hearing that the enemy ahead was Ming troops,

His expression instantly turned terrified.

They fought against Zhang Guangdao's Jinzhou soldiers!

Although the main battles were naval warfare

But the Jinzhou soldiers' cannons,

It left a deep impression on them.

As the Ming army swept through the north...

I heard they even drove back the Jin army.

These victorious soldiers were even more terrified.

They believed they were no match for the Ming army.

They faced the local militia like wolves and tigers.

They were afraid to fight even before facing the Ming army.

Watching the Ming army marching along the riverbank...

The victorious soldiers all looked to their left and right.

Trying to find confidence from fellow countrymen.

The two armies are getting closer and closer.

Zhang Shun then divided his forces to climb the mountain.

They wanted to occupy the hilltop first.

Xin Xingzong also divided his troops to occupy the hilltops.

only.....

The soldiers he dispatched,

After climbing halfway up the mountain,

They actually raised a white flag and kept waving it.

I don't know when this white flag was prepared.

Meanwhile, the victorious troops on the mountain also broke their arrowheads.

They fired at the Ming soldiers.

Raising a white flag is called "raising a white banner".

A broken arrowhead is called a "no-gold arrow".

Both of these actions represent surrender.

Shin Heung-jong saw the white flag waving wildly.

He was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

Meanwhile, the victorious army at the foot of the mountain and in the river...

However, morale plummeted.

Some of the flag bearers quickly pulled out white cloths from their bosoms and hung them up.

Then an officer from the victorious army shouted,

"Kill Xin Xingzong! Kill Xin Yanzong!"

The soldiers who had already decided to go to sea with the Xin brothers

Upon encountering the Ming army, they immediately changed their plans.

Even their personal guards began to defect.

Seeing that the victorious army was fighting amongst themselves.

Zhang Shun instantly felt bored.

It seems that it started with the raid on Hangzhou,

We haven't even fought a decent battle yet.

Compared to Zhong Xiang's puppet Chu army, the Song army...

They are simply two extremes.

The puppet Chu army even fought desperately in the streets after the city fell.

The attack discouraged Zhang Shun from forcing a siege, which would only increase casualties.

Instead, they changed their strategic plan and first attacked the small court in the southeast.

However, the basic qualities of the victorious army remain.

Unlike the chaotic Battle of Minjiang,

Order was restored in about 15 minutes.

They threw down their weapons and surrendered in organized groups.

Incidentally, they also kidnapped the brothers Xin Xingzong and Xin Yanzong.

An officer knelt down and cried out, tears streaming down his face,

"Please, General, spare our lives! We only want to return home alive..."

The other soldiers also joined in the wailing.

The pent-up grievances...
