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

Chapter 536 Mu Hong: Oh no! The Qi army has entered the city! [2nd update]

Wu Yong was taken aback: "What do you mean by that, brother?"

Song Jiang's heart jumped again:
"I heard yesterday that the King of Qi has abducted several generals from the State of Chu!"
"Among them were the Four Heroes of Longzhong..."

"what?"

Wu Yong abruptly stopped fanning himself with his goose feather fan.

After all, they were newcomers and their understanding of the military situation was not comprehensive enough.

Wu Yong suddenly realized that he might have miscalculated, or rather, that the military intelligence at Longzhong Mountain was wrong!
"Brother, let's go find someone and ask them what happened!"

Wu Yong quickly got up and hurried outside:
We absolutely mustn't let this cause any major problems...

"Strategist, wait for me!"

Song Jiang followed behind Wu Yong, his short legs twitching frantically, but he couldn't keep up with Wu Yong's brisk pace.

At the same time, the Chu army defending the city discovered a group of defeated and remnant soldiers.

Because it was a critical time, the city gates were closed, thus keeping the remnants of the army outside the moat.

"General Mu!"

The Chu army defending the city immediately notified Mu Hong, who was patrolling the city:

"They look like one of ours!"

When Mu Hong arrived at the city gate tower and looked down, he was sure that the group of defeated soldiers were wearing Chu army armor.

"Open the door——"

The general leading this group of defeated soldiers shouted:
"I am Zhuomao—"

"Zhuo Mao?"

Mu Hong wasn't familiar with him, but he recognized his face:

"Didn't he go to the Shannan Army?"

Without showing himself, Mu Hong ordered a captain:
"Ask him what's going on."

The head constable then shouted loudly:

"Didn't General Zhuo go to the Shannan Army?"

Why does it look like this?

"Straight bitch!"

Zhuo Mao cursed loudly: "The news has leaked!"

"They attacked me as soon as I arrived, luckily the old man's horse was fast..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Open the door!"

That's it!

Mu Hong suddenly realized, but still worried, he asked the surrounding Chu soldiers:
Are you sure he is Zhuo Mao?

The surrounding Chu soldiers all confirmed it, at which point Zhuo Mao burst into a tirade of curses from below the city walls:
Are you deaf or blind?

"I told you to open the door, why didn't you?"

"Don't you recognize me, Zhuo Mao?"

The Chu army was under immense pressure. Zhuo Mao held a higher rank than Mu Hong, so they could only repeatedly ask Mu Hong whether he would open the door.

Helpless, Mu Hong ordered them to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate, while he went downstairs himself to find out the truth.

As Mu Hong descended the stairs, he found himself waiting at the city gate with a group of his personal guards, awaiting Zhuo Mao's arrival.

"Kakaka..."

The city gates opened, and Zhuo Mao, cursing and swearing, led a group of defeated soldiers in.

Mu Hong went up to him and asked, "General Zhuo, has the Shannan army rebelled?"

"Any news of the Qi army... Oh my god!"

Mu Hong was speaking when he suddenly recognized that the soldier behind Zhuo Mao was none other than Han Yiyun!
No, it's Han Shizhong!

However, Mu Hong was on the city wall and Han Shizhong was below. He didn't recognize Han Shizhong because of the helmet covering him.

He stood directly in front of Han Shizhong and recognized him at a glance, his heart skipping a beat:

broken!

The Qi army has entered the city!
"enemy--"

Mu Hong hurriedly tried to shout a warning, but with a "thud," the gleaming spearhead pierced his mouth!

The rest of his words were cut off by the gun. Mu Hong stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the man who had killed him:
It turned out to be a chubby-faced little soldier, riding a white horse, and the gun in his hand was as thick as a teacup!

Mu Hong didn't recognize him, but at this moment, Mu Hong was filled with deep regret:
If I had sided with the King of Qi back then… “How dare you!”

Han Shizhong cooperated by sternly scolding Mu Hong:

"Who do you think you are, daring to yell at General Zhuo?"

Zhuo Mao forced himself to agree: "Exactly!"

Crazy?
The Chu army defending the city was stunned. Although Zhuo Mao was of higher rank than Mu Hong, one should still consider the owner before beating a dog!
Zhuo Mao's boss, Du Xue, has become a missing person, while Mu Hong's boss, Song Jiang, is the current prime minister!

How dare Zhuo Mao kill someone just because of a disagreement?
But no one dared to utter a sound. Zhuo Mao was the most powerful person here, and they didn't want to be buried with Mu Hong.

What a fast gun!

Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, He Yuanqing and the others were all taken aback, because they also wanted to kill Zhuo Mao.

As it turned out, Gao Chong's gun was faster than all of them. While they were still thinking, Gao Chong had already made his move!

And it was a fatal blow!
Gao Chong looked around triumphantly at his brothers, jumped off his horse, cut off Mu Hong's head, then mounted his horse again and tied Mu Hong's head to the saddle.

He was the last of the four brothers to arrive, so Gao Chong was determined to kill more enemy generals and earn more military merits!

We will strive to achieve a breakthrough by defeating Chu in the decisive battle!

"Boom... Boom..."

Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the city!

It sounded like muffled thunder in the sky, or like the rolling tide of the Qiantang River!

The Chu soldiers on the city wall screamed, "It's terrible! The Qi army is coming!"

One of the constables shouted, "Close the city gates! Raise the drawbridge!"

"fart!"

Zhuo Mao immediately spurred his horse up to the city wall and shouted:
"The city gates must not be closed, and the drawbridge must not be raised!"
"We'll lay an ambush in the city, let them rush in and fall into the trap, then we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

The Chu army defending the city was stunned: Were we...ambushed?
Although Zhuo Mao's words were unclear, he had just killed Mu Hong, and none of the Chu soldiers guarding the city dared to ask him any questions.

The Qi army was led by cavalry, which moved quickly and unimpeded, rushing into the city gate like a gust of wind!

As they watched helplessly as the Qi army stormed into the city gates, the Chu soldiers defending the city all looked towards Zhuo Mao:

Where is our ambush?

"What are you?"

Zhuo Mao's eyes widened, and he swung his spiked club, smashing the constable's head open with a single blow, shouting loudly:
"The King of Qi has already entered the city. Why don't you surrender now? What are you waiting for?"

"hiss--"

The defending Chu soldiers all gasped in shock.
Good grief! So you surrendered!

But it was too late to say anything then; the vanguard of the Qi army, five thousand cavalrymen, had already entered the city!

Han Shizhong, Du Xue, Feng Tai, and the four little ones who snuck in with Zhuo Mao also stopped acting.

"kill--"

Gao Chong was the first to charge into the Chu army, riding his Jade Lion and wielding his Tiger Head Gold-Inlaid Spear, unstoppable!

Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, He Yuanqing and the others rushed to catch up and began to slaughter the Chu army!

"I am Du Xue!"

Du Xue hurriedly shouted, "I have already surrendered to the King of Qi!"

"Those who want to live, kneel down and surrender. Du Xue guarantees your lives!"

He was originally the Grand Commander of the Chu State, and had the highest prestige in the army. He even guaranteed with his life that the Chu army would drop their weapons and kneel down to surrender.

Gao Chong was frustrated: You guys are kneeling so fast, how am I supposed to overtake you on a curve?

……

In the imperial garden, the newly appointed King Fan Quan of Chu was playing a game of "blind men and an elephant" with a group of beauties.

These beauties would be at least class beauties in the 21st century, but in the palace they were just palace maids.

Fan Quan played "blind men and the elephant" with them, just like opening a blind box, all about the thrill.

These beauties were all naked, though not completely naked; they were wearing stockings.

Despite Fan Quan's "blind men touching an elephant" approach, they were forbidden from speaking or moving in order to ensure the game's effectiveness.

Unless you're so itchy that you let out a silvery laugh, you're out immediately.

Fan Quan pondered as he went through the "blind men and the elephant" process:

I can finally imagine my cousin's happiness!
