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

Chapter 635 Cai Fu: This woman is terrifyingly powerful! [1st update]

"Tsk!"

Kongming frowned, but still pulled off the veil from the top courtesan's face, only to find that she was a beautiful woman with a round face.

Annoyed, Kongming threw the mask at the old soldier's face and glared at him.
"What happened?"

The old soldier was sweating profusely with anxiety: "The King of Qi is attacking!"

"what?"

Kongming could hardly believe his ears:

"King Qi? Isn't he in the northern frontier?"

"We're back! We're all back!"

The old soldier said with a mournful face, "King Qi's army is already at the city gates, and he wants you, General, to go out and fight him to the death..."

"I?"

Kongming's face turned green: You think too highly of me...

But no matter what, Cai Fu's army was already at the city gates. As the temporary prefect of Changzhou, he couldn't possibly not go and see what was going on, could he?

He quickly donned his armor, mounted his horse, spear in hand, and rode towards the city gate.

Upon reaching the city gate tower, Kongming looked down and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment:
Good guy!
What do you mean by a fierce and ruthless army?
The infantry was far more ferocious than his troops, and the cavalry was simply like wolves and tigers, fierce and ruthless!

Moreover, half of the cavalry were quite strange; their armor and clothing resembled those of a foreign tribe, and the flags they carried were torn in half.

Kongming was very familiar with this kind of flag, just like the flags that captured government troops used to tear in half after surrendering.

Firstly, it showed that they were surrendered soldiers, and secondly, it also showed off the martial prowess of Liangshan Marsh.

But Liangshan Marsh had previously only accepted the surrender of Song Dynasty government troops, so why did Cai Fu accept the surrender of foreign government troops?
As far as Kongming knew, Cai Fu was going to attack the Liao Kingdom. Could these foreign soldiers who surrendered be Liao Kingdom's official troops?
Oh my god is it so magical?
Kongming was already afraid of Cai Fu, and seeing these thousands of surrendered foreign soldiers made him even more terrified.

Kongming then looked at Cai Fu's lineup. Leaving aside the children, there were Lin Chong, Sun Li, Hu Sanniang...

Okay, I can't beat any of them.

Lin Chong saw Kongming about to charge forward, but Hu Sanniang had already spurred her horse forward first, letting out a sharp shout:
"With 'One-Zhang-Green' Hu Sanniang here, who dares to fight me to the death?"

An old soldier asked Kongming, "General, what should we do?"

what can I do? I'm desperate too!

Not to mention that Kongming only had three thousand men, even in a duel of generals, Kongming couldn't defeat a single one...

Unless it's those kids, the question is, would Cai Fu let those kids come to fight him?

Unable to hold on...

Kongming shook his head helplessly. Cai Fu's troops numbered at least forty or fifty thousand. How could he possibly defend against them?

With gritted teeth and a glare, Kongming made a decision that went against the wishes of "Timely Rain":

"Get out through the back door!"

what?
The old soldier couldn't help but advise, "General, if we abandon the city and flee, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Chief Commander Song..."

Then I should say my piece!

Kongming glared at him, but then thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.

They should at least make an appearance; abandoning the city and fleeing would be difficult to explain to Song Jiang.

"That's fine!"

Kongming gritted his teeth and glared, making a decision that went against the wishes of his ancestors:

"Let's go out of the city and meet him!"

"Quack quack..."

The suspension bridge collapsed.

"Kakaka..."

The city gate opens.

Kongming charged out on his horse, followed by a thousand men, who were practically a disorganized mob compared to the Qi army.

Not only were they far inferior in discipline, but they were far inferior in morale as well. The Qi army was like wolves and tigers, while Kongming was like letting a flock of sheep roam freely...

Once outside the city, Kongming shouted at the front lines:
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has appointed my master as the Grand Commander of Pingnan, and he will be the vanguard in the campaign against Fang Jinzhi..."

Whom are we attacking?

Cai Fu snorted coldly: "Don't you know that Fang Jinzhi is my betrothed?"

Kongming forced a smile and said, "I only know that Fang Jinzhi is a traitor. I beg Your Majesty not to make things difficult for me..."

"You bullied my wife, and you still have the nerve to call me brother?"

Cai Fu, enraged, cracked his whip:
"Leopard Head..."

Just as Lin Chong was about to take action, Hu Sanniang, taking advantage of her proximity, preemptively attacked Kongming!

Lin Chong had no choice but to rein in his horse and turn back. It was he who had captured Hu Sanniang, which led to her marrying Wang Ai Hu...

Therefore, Lin Chong couldn't hold his head up in front of Hu Sanniang at all, so how could he dare to compete with Hu Sanniang for a head?
"drive--"

Although Cai Fu's protection of Fang Jinzhi made Hu Sanniang feel a little jealous, Hu Sanniang never hesitated to fight.

Most importantly, Hu Sanniang volunteered to go south of the Yangtze River with Cai Fu this time in order to seek revenge on Song Jiang.

If we can't kill Song Jiang, killing a few of his brothers would be good too!
Although "Young Star" Kongming knew he was no match for Hu Sanniang, he wasn't afraid to fight her.

When he first joined the bandits at White Tiger Mountain, he fought more than twenty rounds with Huyan Zhuo, who was then a government soldier, and was captured alive.

Although Huyan Zhuo was a renowned "master of draws" in the Water Margin world, able to fight anyone to a draw...

But he was one of the "Five Tiger Generals," so Kongming was quite skilled.

He's at least much better at fighting than his master, Song Jiang.

Therefore, Kongming felt that he could last at least fifty or sixty rounds, and if he was in good condition, he might even last a hundred rounds.

He rode up to greet Hu Sanniang, and Kongming, relying on his long weapon, thrust forward with his spear first!
However, to his surprise, Hu Sanniang actually flew up!
"call--"

Hu Sanniang suddenly leaped into the air, and while still in mid-air, she stepped onto Kongming's spear shaft!
The arm can't twist the thigh, and at that moment, Kongming's spear sank downwards!
Using Hu Sanniang's help, she took off a second time, performing a front flip over Kongming's head!

Kongming instinctively looked up, but was blinded by the gleaming light of the blade...

"Pfft!"

Hu Sanniang casually slit Kongming's throat with a knife, and by the time her feet touched the ground, Kongming was already gone.

"Quack! Quack!"

Kongming's mount, unaware of what had happened, continued to gallop forward, carrying a headless corpse on its back!
The blood mist that gushed from his neck cavity then spread across the sky!

Kongming's last thought as he lay dying:
I suggested leaving through the back door, but you insisted it would be difficult to explain to Song Jiang…

Have you confessed now?

"Choke!"

Hu Sanniang sheathed her twin swords, caught the falling head of Kongming, mounted her horse, and let out a sharp cry:
"Kongming is dead! Those who do not surrender will be killed!"

"hiss--"

Everyone gasped involuntarily, even Cai Fu was stunned by Hu Sanniang's fighting prowess:

How could this woman be so terrifying?
Of course, the fact that Hu Sanniang could kill Kongming with a single strike does not mean that her strength was superior to Huyan Zhuo's.

Firstly, Hu Sanniang was adopted by Zhou Tong as his goddaughter and had been learning swordsmanship from him for over a year.

Secondly, Kongming knew Hu Sanniang's previous strength, so he misjudged Hu Sanniang's current strength.

Thirdly, Hu Sanniang's fighting style was unexpected; although it was mounted combat, it actually followed the path of foot combat.

In other words, Wu Song would fight like this even on foot against mounted opponents, and Hu Sanniang was Wu Song's fellow disciple.

Several factors combined to create Hu Sanniang's feat of killing Kongming with a single strike.

However, no matter what, Hu Sanniang's martial arts skills, even if not at the Tiger level, are already very close to the Tiger level.

She is at least on par with Sun Li, Mi Sheng, and Li Tianrun, a world apart from her past achievements.
