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

They attacked the Jin soldiers at the entrance of Yangxing Valley from the rear.

They helped the Ming army and the rebel army in Shouyang County to open up the valley.

by that time,

If the Jin soldiers had remained in Xinzhou,

They will then face a predicament of being attacked from three sides.

.....

Wutai County.

Yue Fei's soldiers were exhausted.

Only one-third was left to maintain order.

While we're at it, we'll also wipe out the Jin soldiers and spies in the city.

The rest of the troops all lay down to rest.

Their route of attack,

It is not one of the Eight Passes of Taihang.

Instead, they forced their way along the Hutuo River valley.

We have to cross mountains and valleys from time to time.

The baggage couldn't be carried at all.

Even medium-sized armor seemed cumbersome.

The entire army immediately donned light armor and began their journey.

Chapter 3158 Monks of Mount Wutai

The monk Zhenbao from Mount Wutai served as our guide.

The Wutai County militia provided support along the way.

The journey took more than a month.

They had eaten all the food they carried with them.

The rebel army in Wutai County also didn't have much food.

They took out their meager rations one by one.

They then ate grass roots and tree bark together with Yue Fei's army.

We finally arrived in Wutai County.

There were not many Jin soldiers stationed in Wutai County.

Only a few hundred people.

The rest were all Shanxi Han soldiers.

Yue Fei had just led his troops out of the mountains.

There were several monks among the rebels.

He went to Wutai County to inform the garrison.

It was not treason or collusion with the enemy.

Instead, they contacted the Han troops defending the city to defect.

The following night,

The Yue Family Army was exhausted and hungry.

They marched towards the county town together with the Wutai rebels.

Many people along the way noticed this.

But no one informed the Jin army.

Even the local gentry and powerful families,

We also hope that the Ming Dynasty will recover Wutai Mountain soon.

From now on, they will no longer be repeatedly plundered by the Jin army and the rebel army.

Countless torches were lit outside the city.

The Han soldiers inside the city took the opportunity to set fire to the city.

Chaos reigned both inside and outside Wutai County.

The hundreds of Jin soldiers were terrified.

They woke up in the middle of the night.

They rushed off to defend the city.

As a result, fires broke out throughout the city.

Subsequently, a large number of Han soldiers defending the city defected.

Faced with this situation, the Jin army had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.

The Yue Family Army was really exhausted.

They were all starving.

They simply didn't have the stamina to give chase.

They could only watch as the Jin soldiers escaped.

"General, a group of bandits has come to surrender."

"Could it be a local militia?"

"They are not local militia, but Han Chinese from Liaodong."

“The local militia hated them to the core,”

"They're all clamoring to kill someone."

"Quickly restrain them, don't let them fight,"

"I'll take care of it right away!"

When Yue Fei arrived outside the city...

The Liaodong Han army that came to join them.

They have been surrounded by local militia.

.....

Those who came to surrender to Yue Fei

It was Han Chang's troops.

This was the "Number One Warrior of the Jin Dynasty" ten years later.

Historically, he has always served as the vanguard for Wanyan Wuzhu.

In the end, however, he died at the hands of Wanyan Liang.

Last year, he was abandoned by Wanyan Loushi to cover the retreat.

They still had more than 1,600 Liaodong Han soldiers at their disposal.

Fearing court-martial,

After they deserted their posts

They dared not return to the Jurchen territory.

At the same time, they dared not surrender to the Ming army.

So he fled into the mountains and became a bandit.

But the nearby mountains were teeming with rebel armies.

They didn't manage to seize much grain from the landlords.

Instead, they clashed with the Shanxi rebels several times.

Currently, there are over 1,600 Han soldiers in Liaodong.

Only seven or eight hundred people survived, having frozen or starved to death.

Those who are still alive

They were all pale and thin.

They could even be described as skin and bones.

They couldn't care less that their families were still in Liaodong.

They didn't care whether the Ming army would accept them or not.

I heard that Wutai County has been captured.

They immediately risked leaving the mountains to seek refuge.

"General, please accept us!"

Han Chang knelt down in front of Yue Fei with a thud.

His seven or eight hundred soldiers also knelt down.

The surrounding rebels were armed.

They were just waiting for Yue Fei to give the order.

They were about to surround and kill Han Chang's troops.

A leader of the Wutai County militia named Dou Lan said:

General Yue, this fellow went mad from hunger last winter,”

"They're even robbing us poor wretches!"

"We don't even have food to eat in the mountains."

Chapter 3159 Excellent Armor and Weapons

"They relied on their superior weaponry,"

"He killed nearly a hundred of my men,"

"They even stole my winter food from one of my hiding places!"

"This guy even fought me twice!"

Another rebel leader roared.

Han Chang knelt before Yue Fei.

He cupped his hands in greeting to all four directions and said:

"Brothers, I'm truly sorry,"

"I was really starving at the time."

"Are you the only one who's hungry? Aren't we hungry too?" Dou Lan questioned.

Han Chang apologized again.

He kowtowed to Yue Fei and said:

"General, I was originally from Yanshan Prefecture,"

"My whole family was relocated to Liaodong by the Jin dynasty."

"My family has some reputation in Liaodong,"

"My father is still an official in the Jin Kingdom."
