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

Most of them were Han and Khitan craftsmen who were forcibly relocated.

Some were local Han Chinese and Bohai people from Gaizhou.

They were often bullied by the Jurchens.

Who has the will to fight now?

Chapter 1976 Feigned Attack

The besieging rebel forces from the east and south,

They carried the flying ladders and rushed towards the city wall in a swarm.

Song Jiang to the west,

He also led his troops to launch a feigned attack.

The city's defenders hurriedly threw logs and poured molten gold.

Soon there will be a city wall.

They were attacked by Han Chinese militia.

Wanyan Gou Shi hurriedly led his reserve troops to reinforce the area.

They repelled the Han Chinese rebel army that attempted to scale the city walls.

"Bang the drum!"

Zhao Li saw it clearly through the binoculars.

Shout it out immediately!

He led more than thirty elite soldiers and charged forward.

As the drums sounded...

Yelü Yudu and Hou Gai,

Each led their brave warriors in a fierce attack.

Zhao Li led his troops to close range.

His group was well-equipped and armed.

The anomaly was quickly discovered.

Wanyan Gou Shi had left dozens of archers nearby.

They all crowded around and shot arrows at Zhao Li.

The two rebel armies were routed by arrows.

Zhao Li continued to charge forward.

It quickly became the target of the archers' concentrated fire.

When he rushed to the city walls,

Six arrows were already stuck in his body.

He was even shot in the cheek by an arrow.

The broth here has been poured out.

The rest weren't even piping hot yet.

The defending soldiers hastily fired their arrows.

The makeshift militiamen also threw down logs in panic.

The obstacle course ladder has been set up.

Zhao Li broke off the arrow that had pierced his cheek.

They climbed up wearing armor weighing dozens of kilograms.

The defending soldiers tried to push the flying ladder over with forked poles.

However, they discovered that iron hooks were attached to the crenellations of the city wall.

So they went to pry open the iron hooks on the flying ladders.

The rest are still throwing logs.

However, it was blocked by the anti-attack bar of the flying ladder.

The log rolled to the side and injured a Ming soldier.

Zhao Li climbed higher and higher.

A long spear thrust down.

The spear tip pierced the helmet, causing it to slide to the side.

He didn't care.

Keep climbing.

The garrison soldier leaned out his upper body.

He was still thrusting downwards with his spear.

Zhao Li grabbed the flying ladder with one hand.

With his other hand, he grabbed the enemy's rifle shaft.

He actually managed to climb two more steps using the momentum.

He nearly pulled the enemy soldier who fired his gun off the wall.

Finally, we made it to the top.

Zhao Li drew the iron mace from his waist.

He suddenly flipped over the wall.

He casually smashed a guard's arm, breaking it.

He swung the iron mace in his hand repeatedly.

He single-handedly defeated the militia around him.

The Jurchen archers drew their swords and attacked.

The blows clanged against his armor.

Zhao Li swiftly struck them down, killing and injuring two others.

In just this short period of time,

Zhao Li brought more than thirty elite soldiers.

Except for one person who was injured by the log,

The rest climbed up the city wall one after another.

The main force of the Jurchens, commanded by Wanyan Goushi,

Rescue efforts are underway at another section of the city wall.

Yelü Yudu almost led his troops to attack.

Another major force of the Jurchens,

This was to guard against the elite Ming army led by Song Jiang.

Zhao Li's side completed the first landing.

Surprisingly, there were no strong soldiers to defend it.

The thirty-odd men quickly routed the defending troops.

They split into two groups.

Leading the ragtag rebel army that followed to storm the city.

They pursued and killed each other in the east and west directions respectively.

Temporarily recruited militia to defend the city

They were so frightened that they fled back to the city.

They feared the Ming army would massacre the city.

But he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape with his family.

Zhao Li has led his troops to the section of the city wall near Wanyan Goushi.

Yelü Yudu seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

With Zhao Li's cooperation and restraint,

He successfully led his troops to the top of the city wall.

Hou Gai led the Han Chinese militia.

They scaled the city walls with the help of another Ming army force that had taken the lead.

Li Kui, however, took advantage of the chaos to circle around to the north side of the city wall.

To launch a surprise attack,

That's where the three sides are missing one spot.

Chapter 1977 The Wanyan Family

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The drums outside the city beat louder and louder.

A Ming army force stormed the city walls and scattered the guards at the city gate.

Open the city gates and let more friendly troops in.

Shouts echoed from the city gates to the streets.

The militia still on the city wall completely collapsed.

One by one, they panicked and abandoned their positions, fleeing towards home.

Wanyan Goushi was attacked from both sides by Zhao Li and Yelü Yudu.

The defensive zone is getting narrower and narrower.

As people kept retreating, the area became so crowded that it became packed with people.

Zhao Li mechanically swung the iron mace.

His soldiers would help him stab the enemy with long spears.

With a focused mind,

Almost one hit per person.

Being hit by an iron mace will result in either death or serious injury.

Long spears would occasionally pierce the gaps in the lamellar armor.

More and more blood seeped from Zhao Li's armor.

But he seemed completely oblivious.

Headshots are still happening.

This besieged Jurchen army

It had already collapsed long ago.

They huddled together because they had nowhere else to escape.

The Jurchen soldiers inside,

They were so crowded they couldn't even hold their weapons.
