Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 509 Song Qing the Iron Fan is here! Anyone who blocks my way shall die! [2nd Update]

It must still be a dream, right?
Song Qing was too lazy to get up; her head was spinning, as if she was about to catch a cold…

But Kongming and Kongliang suddenly pulled him up as if they were possessed:
"Wake up, you idiot! Guan Sheng is raiding our camp!"

"what?"

Song Qing could hardly believe her ears. She sat up abruptly, but felt dizzy.

I forced myself to put on my clothes and left the tent. Sure enough, the camp was ablaze with fire and filled with the sounds of battle!
Countless Qi soldiers, like wolves and tigers, stormed in, hacking and slashing at anyone they saw. The Gaizhou soldiers screamed and howled, fleeing in utter disarray...

It's over!

Song Qing covered his head with his hands, as if he had given his opponent a triple plus a goal in overtime at the Olympics...

……

"Oh!"

Wu Yong, who was sleeping soundly in the central command tent, was immediately awakened by the sound of battle cries.

"Oh no! Guan Sheng has come to raid the camp!"

"what?"

Song Jiang jumped up with a start, and without even putting on his shoes, ran barefoot to the tent entrance and looked out:
"Has Guan Sheng really come to raid the camp?"
"My brother went to check on things, so why didn't anyone sound an alarm?"

"Your brother..."

Wu Yong really wanted to complain, but now was not the time, so he grabbed the large copper chain:
"Brother, let's go quickly!"

Barefoot, Wu Yong grabbed Song Jiang and ran outside.

Song Jiang grew anxious: "Why did you retreat without a fight, strategist?"

"Brother, there's no chance anymore!"

Wu Yong left the central command tent and looked around; he had already understood:

"Our army is in complete disarray and can no longer organize a defense!"
"As long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood. Let's hurry!"

"But……"

Song Jiang wanted to argue a bit more, but Lei Heng from a nearby tent ran over, grabbed Song Jiang, and pulled him away.
"Brother, it'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

Left with no other choice, Song Jiang reluctantly allowed Wu Yong and Lei Heng to protect him as he fled out of the camp.

At the same time, Qin Ming woke up from his dream with a start, angrily grabbed his spiked club, and went out to ride the Xie Zhi horse.

Without even donning armor, Qin Ming charged into the chaotic army, slaughtering Qi soldiers while shouting and yelling:
"Thunderbolt Qin Ming is here! Guan Sheng, come and fight me!"

Qin Ming's thinking was simple: apart from Guan Sheng, no one in Zhaode Prefecture was his match.

Guan Sheng was shot in the left arm again, and it's impossible that he has fully recovered yet. As long as Guan Sheng is defeated, he can turn the tide.

With Guan Sheng still absent, Qin Ming became even more confident, believing he could dominate the battlefield and be unstoppable.

He was only gloating for a short while when he ran into a general wielding a huge iron rod!
"when!"

The large iron bar blocked the spiked club, and the general shouted:
"Stop your arrogance! I'll fight you!"

Qin Ming disagreed, asking, "Besides Guan Sheng, Zhu Tong, and Yang Xiong, who else in Zhaode Prefecture can fight?"

If someone were truly capable, Qin Ming would have been hurling insults at him for over half a month; surely they would have come out and fought him.

As a result, the two fought for more than fifty rounds, and Qin Ming and Qin Ming were evenly matched.

This unscientific!

Qin Ming was both surprised and furious: "Who are you?"

The general laughed heartily: "He is indeed Shan Shiqi of Hebei!"

"Oh it's you?"

Qin Ming had actually met Shan Shiqi before, but he wasn't familiar with him, and it was too late at night and the chaos of war made it difficult to see clearly.

Furthermore, even though Qin Ming had met Shan Shiqi, he never expected that Shan Shiqi could fight him one-on-one for more than fifty rounds without a clear winner.

Unable to defeat Shan Shiqi, and seeing that the Gaizhou troops had collapsed—some dead, some fleeing, and some surrendering—Qin Ming lost the will to continue the battle.

"Drink—"

He swung his spiked club, making a move as if he was about to unleash a powerful attack!

As expected, Shan Shiqi instinctively went on the defensive, and Qin Ming seized the opportunity to flee:
"Shan Shiqi, I'll spare your dog's life tonight!"
"I'll take your dog's head another day, grandpa's off!"

Shan Shiqi was so angry he almost lost his temper. He hurriedly chased after Qin Ming, but he was too slow and Qin Ming was already far ahead. If Shan Shiqi had been confident of victory, he would have caught up with him, but he wasn't, so he decided not to pursue him.

After all, Guan Sheng's order was to take down Song Jiang's stronghold, and taking down Song Jiang's stronghold would be the greatest achievement for him.

Qin Ming charged recklessly, running amok, and finally broke through, bringing with him a group of defeated soldiers.

“Clack… Clack…”

Qin Ming spurred his horse and galloped away. Looking back, he saw that the entire camp had been turned into a sea of ​​fire, with flames soaring into the sky!

It's over...

Qin Ming sighed deeply. This was the 30,000-strong army that Song Jiang had painstakingly organized.

After this battle, I fear only one in ten will survive...

"Ugh--"

Qin Ming shook his head helplessly:
We were on guard every night before, and Guan Sheng never came to raid our camp!

We were caught off guard these past two days, and Guan Sheng has come to raid our camp instead. What a coincidence!
And that Shan Shiqi, he's so good at fighting, why hasn't he fought despite all the time I've been cursing him?

Do you enjoy being scolded?

Qin Ming was completely baffled, so he had no choice but to lead a group of defeated soldiers to Gaizhou.

Halfway there, I suddenly heard someone shout from the roadside:

"Is the general coming 'Thunderbolt' Qin Ming?"

Qin Ming recognized the voice and quickly reined in his horse. He saw that it was Song Jiang and his men hiding in the woods.

"Brother Qin Ming..."

Song Jiang held Qin Ming's hand, his eyes filled with tears:
"It's all Song Jiang's fault for being useless, causing the army to suffer this defeat..."

"Brother, there's no need to blame yourself. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war."

That's what he said, but Qin Ming was actually very disappointed.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he had a feeling that Song Jiang might never get up again...

"By the way, Brother Qin Ming, have you seen my brother Song Qing?"

Song Jiang gritted his teeth and said, "He will go check on the guards for me tonight!"
"Who knew that even after the Qi army stormed in, he still hadn't returned!"

Qin Ming shook his head: "No."

Song Jiang was very upset. He only had one brother, and even though he had caused a great disaster, he was still very worried.

But by this time he had gathered many brothers, but his own brother Song Qing was nowhere to be seen...

"Alright, let's go back to Gaizhou first!"

With things having come to this point, Song Jiang had no choice but to flee for his life.

Meanwhile, Song Qing fled in panic amidst the chaos of the army, and at some point he became separated from Kong Ming and Kong Liang.

Although Song Qing was nicknamed "Iron Fan" and did own an iron fan, he actually did not know any fan-fighting skills.

Moreover, he didn't actually know any martial arts; he had only learned a couple of simple country tricks from his brother Song Jiang.

Song Jiang himself couldn't beat anyone, let alone Song Qing; he could barely defeat a low-ranking soldier.

However, with so many smaller pawns, Song Qing couldn't withstand the onslaught and could only bluff.

"Song Qing, the 'Iron Fan,' is here! Anyone who stands in my way shall die!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing his name, a lowly soldier behind him, who was originally going to stab him in the waist, instead used the barrel of his gun to strike the back of his head!

With just one blow, Song Qing's eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground...

"This is Brother Song Jiang!"

Several soldiers tied up Song Qing: "Take him back to General Guan to claim your reward!"

"Oooooooo-"

Several soldiers shouted excitedly as they escorted Song Qing to see Shan Shiqi.
