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

Chapter 511 Who fights like that? He's practically a wild beast! [1st Update]

"Ow—"

Li Kui let out a miserable scream, and half of his body was instantly stained red with blood!
But he was extremely fierce and fearless. Instead of retreating, he charged forward!

With one foot pushing off the ground, Li Kui sprang to his feet, raising his only arm high!
Tang Bin was large and not agile enough to dodge in time, and Li Kui got close to him!

Li Kui roared and slammed his elbow down hard!

"Oh!"

Li Kui's elbow slammed heavily into Tang Bin's face!
Tang Bin was so badly hit that he was dizzy and his face was covered in blood!

"Puff-"

Tang Bin fell straight down like a felled tree...

"Roar--"

Li Kui's two bull-like eyes were bloodshot. He jumped up again and slammed his elbow hard at Tang Bin!

"Shh-"

With a flash of light, another arm flew off!
"Ow—"

Li Kui let out another scream, and the blood that gushed out instantly stained the other half of his body red!
Looking back, he saw a burly man with a yellow face wielding a ghost-head knife, who slashed at him from the side!

Who else could it be but Yang Xiong, a member of the Ghost Head Knife Squad?

Although he was Guan Sheng's adopted son, he came from a background as an executioner and had been associated with Cai Fu for a long time, so his methods were similar to Cai Fu's.

Yang Xiong had also been instructed by Cai Fu to leave Li Kui to Hu Sanniang, so he only cut off one of Li Kui's arms.

If it were anyone else, they would have already fainted by now, but Li Kui is different; he's a berserker!

Commonly known as "red-eye"!
Li Kui roared and pounced on Yang Xiong, biting him on the shoulder!
"hiss--"

Yang Xiong gasped and delivered a knee strike to Li Kui's stomach, but Li Kui still refused to give in!

Fortunately, Tang Bin came to his senses at this moment, got up, grabbed Li Kui's hair, and yanked him hard!
"Gaba!"

Li Kui held on tightly, but Tang Bin was incredibly strong and managed to break all of Li Kui's teeth!
"call--"

Tang Bin suddenly exerted his strength and threw Li Kui a great distance away!

"That black bastard..."

Yang Xiong grimaced and rubbed his shoulders a couple of times.

Luckily, Li Kui didn't have many teeth left, otherwise he would have bitten off a piece of flesh.
Li Kui was knocked unconscious by the fall, lying on the ground covered in blood, unable to get up for a long time.

Those dozens of Liangshan bandits seized the opportunity to lift Li Kui up and run!
Tang Bin didn't pursue, but angrily wiped the blood from his face:

"Hmph! If it weren't for the King's instructions, I would have chopped this black bastard in half with one axe!"

Although he said that, Tang Bin was also somewhat wary of Li Kui's madness:
Who fights like that? He's like a wild beast!
Chai Jin and Huang Xin fled, as did Li Kui, and Gaizhou was captured by Yang Xiong and Tang Bin.

After Chai Jin and Huang Xin escaped from the city, they soon encountered Song Jiang and his men who were rushing back.

……

“Clack… Clack…”

Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Qin Ming fled back to Gaizhou in disgrace.

Along the way, they gathered some defeated soldiers, bringing their total strength to over three thousand men.

But Song Jiang was not happy at all, because he had brought 30,000 troops with him to attack Zhaode Prefecture!

In the end, they only brought back one-tenth of the original number, and they even lost a younger brother...

Because most of them were infantry, Song Jiang and his men could not move very fast even on horseback.

This allowed Yang Xiong to lead a hundred cavalrymen, gallop past them, and take Gaizhou first.

Tang Bin led infantry, which was able to arrive in time because Huguan is located between Zhaode Prefecture and Gaizhou.

"We should reach Gaizhou in another ten miles..."

Song Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The strategist is right. Sure enough, the outcome will be decided in no more than three days!"

I just didn't expect that I wouldn't be the one to win...

"Brother, don't worry."

Wu Yong habitually shook his feather fan, but in this life-or-death situation, he hadn't brought it with him, so he could only wave his hand dismissively.
“If we return to Gaizhou and recuperate, we should be able to recover in no more than a year.” Song Jiang nodded.

Indeed, although many soldiers were lost, they could be recruited again.

With Wu Yong, Qin Ming, Lei Heng, and Mu Hong under his command, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to make a comeback.

This time, however, they've completely broken ties with Guan Sheng, and things won't be easy for them from now on...

Wu Yong saw right through Song Jiang's thoughts:
"If Guan Sheng's troops come, we will defend the city to the death, and he will be unable to do anything to us."

"King Qi is far away in Shandong. He can't help with the immediate crisis."

"We can conserve our energy and act when the time is right."

Song Jiang let out a long sigh: "The strategist is right!"
"We will defend the city to the death; Guan Sheng can't do anything to us!"

Just then, Guo Sheng pointed ahead and reminded him:

"A group of men is approaching!"

"what?"

Song Jiang was taken aback. Gaizhou was only ten miles ahead. Whose troops were coming from the front?

Could it be that Gaizhou has been lost?

"One of our own!"

Qin Ming looked around and saw that the group of people all had environmentally friendly green hairpins floating above their heads.
"Perhaps they've come to pick us up!"

When Song Jiang saw that they were all wearing green tassels, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that Master Chai has come to pick us up!"

Since Chai Jin and Huang Xin were riding horses, they soon encountered Song Jiang unexpectedly.

"Brother Song Jiang—"

Upon seeing Song Jiang, Chai Jin dismounted and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm so sorry, little brother!"

Song Jiang's heart sank. He hurriedly dismounted and helped Chai Jin up.

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Huang Xin also dismounted and knelt behind Chai Jin, saying with a wronged expression:

"Guan Sheng's men stormed into the city!"
"We fought desperately, but we were outnumbered and had no choice but to fight our way out of the city..."

"fart!"

Qin Ming angrily asked, "Guan Sheng's troops are all in Zhaode Prefecture, how could they possibly break into Gaizhou City?"

Chai Jin quickly poured a basin of dirty water on Li Kui:
"I didn't know, but today it's Li Kui who's guarding the city!"
"My brother and General Huang were discussing matters in the main hall when we suddenly heard that Guan Sheng's troops had stormed into the city..."

"what?"

Song Jiang was so angry that his whole body trembled.

He only has Gaizhou as his territory now. If he loses Gaizhou, where will he go to settle down?
Even though Li Kui was a loyal dog he had personally trained, he still wanted to eat dog meat!

Just then, dozens of Liangshan bandits, surrounding Li Kui, also fled down this road...

Li Kui had applied wound medicine to both arms, which stopped the bleeding and restored some of his strength.

Having lost Gaizhou and both arms, Li Kui was in very poor spirits...

Li Kui and his men were brought before Song Jiang. Upon seeing Li Kui, Song Jiang was both angry and anxious:
"Tie Niu, what a mess you've made!"

"No, not even four o'clock!"

Although Li Kui was a muddle-headed man, he never lost a verbal battle:

"That scoundrel Song Qing tricked his way into opening the city gates!"
"If it weren't him, why would I open the city gate?"

"what?"

Song Jiang suddenly realized what was happening and stomped his foot in anger:
"Song Qing was captured by Guan Sheng, and he actually did this to save his life?"

"That beast, how could he do this to me?"
How can we face our loyal brothers who have shared our lives?

Li Kui suddenly realized a very important problem...
