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

This fellow was so frightened

They were frightened and became more restrained.

They were afraid of attracting the Liangshan army.

But a few days ago,

Then he heard that the Liangshan army had suddenly captured Qingzhou and Zizhou, ceded territory, and declared themselves kings.

Taian Prefecture is adjacent to Zizhou Prefecture.

Now Prefect Wen knew,

Even if he were honest and dedicated to public service, it wouldn't matter.

Since Liangshan has rebelled,

They'll attack Tai'an Prefecture sooner or later.

Therefore, Prefect Wen ordered the local militia commander to lead troops to be on guard day and night.

To prevent Liangshan bandits from infiltrating the city,

They plundered the city.

The Lantern Festival is just around the corner.

Prefect Wen also ordered the lantern festival to be stopped.

To prevent the Liangshan bandits from taking the opportunity to attack.

Tie Fangliang, the militia commander of Tai'an Prefecture,

The surname Dongfang is a compound surname, and the strength is like that of a fierce tiger.

Because he was good at using a square iron beam,

Appearing and disappearing unpredictably, invincible.

People then called him Iron Square Beam.

This iron beam had long been used to scout along the border.

The Liangshan troops had just entered the territory.

He then received the news.

The troops in the city were mobilized to prepare for war.

Prefect Wen originally still harbored a glimmer of hope,

Hopefully, Liangshan is merely passing through Tai'an Prefecture.

When returning to Liangshan, or when going to attack other states,

Now, however, we hear that the Liangshan army is heading towards Tai'an Prefecture.

They hurriedly ran up to the city wall.

As Prefect Wen looked at the densely packed Liangshan troops arrayed below the city walls,

My legs were trembling.

To the side of the iron beam road,

"These Liangshan bandits came with great force,"

"The lives of all the people in the city depend on the general."

"I earnestly hope that the general will do his utmost to defend the city,"

"Grand Commandant Gao's army will arrive soon,"

"The bandits of Liangshan will surely flee at the mere mention of it."

"I will certainly recommend the general for credit when the time comes."

Tie Fangliang looked down at the Liangshan troops below the city.

But they were eager to try.

"I estimate that the Liangshan army numbers no less than 20,000."

"And my city has only two thousand men,"

"If we stubbornly defend our position, it will only embolden the Liangshan bandits."

"This humble general is unworthy, but I am willing to ride out of the city alone."

"Kill several leaders of these Liangshan bandits,"

"To bolster our army's morale and also to dampen the spirits of the Liangshan bandits."

"Please grant my request, sir."

Prefect Wen also felt that holding firm was somewhat difficult.

I never expected there would actually be people who aren't afraid of death.

He patted Tie Fangliang on the shoulder.

"General, be careful. If we can drive back the Liangshan bandits..."

"The greatest credit for this battle will surely go to the general."

Zhao Yuan watched as the city gates slowly opened.

He was also taken aback when he rode out of the city alone.

Could it be that we've encountered another fierce general like Ji Anbang?

Tie Fangliang rode his horse to within an arrow's reach of the Liangshan formation.

He then stopped his horse and shouted loudly.

"How dare those bandits from Liangshan invade my city?"

"General Tie Fangliang is here; who will face death?"

The vanguard, Suo Chao, was about to make a name for himself.

He didn't answer at the moment.

They rode straight for the iron beam.

Judging from Tie Fangliang's observation, Suo Chao also wielded heavy weapons.

He was even more pleased.

They immediately spurred their horses and rode to meet them.

The two arrived in front of them.

There aren't any special moves.

The two weapons clashed violently together.

Chapter 1593 City Gate

"Dangdang!"

A loud explosion suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

The soldiers at the front lines suddenly felt a sharp pain in their eardrums.

Suo Chao here,

His body swayed slightly.

That's how he managed to stay on the horse and avoid falling off.

And the iron beam on the opposite side,

But it didn't move at all.

The two sides fought for only a dozen or so rounds.

Suo Chao was already at a disadvantage.

Seeing that they could not defeat the iron beam,

Suo Chao then forcefully pushed the iron beam aside.

They then rode back to their positions.

Tie Fangliang did not chase after it.

He reined in his horse right in front of the battle line.

He laughed loudly.

"Are all you Liangshan bandits so cowardly?"

"You bird general, stop your arrogance!"

The Featherless Arrow shouted loudly,

Raise the spear,

He then rode his horse to retrieve the iron beam.

Tie Fangliang was unaware of the visitor's background.

He then spurred his horse and rode up to greet them.

Zhang Qing here,

But he had already taken the pebble and hidden it in his hand.

As the iron beam approached,

The featherless arrow simply raised its arm.

The flying stone flew out.

It struck the chin of the iron beam squarely.

They beat him until his cheeks were swollen and his mouth was bleeding!

"Pooh!"

Iron beam is indeed truly valiant.

After spitting a mouthful of bloody saliva onto the ground,

But it neither stopped nor continued.

He simply squeezed his horse with both legs,

They continued charging towards the Featherless Arrow.

After Zhang Qing saw that Tie Fangliang was injured

Not only did they not withdraw,

Instead, their momentum grew even more ferocious.

A sense of fear welled up inside me.

After exchanging a few blows with Tie Fangliang,

Zhang Qing couldn't dodge in time.

The steel gun in his hand was struck by the iron beam.

The spear tip shattered instantly!

Zhang Qing's tiger's mouth was also cracked from the shock.

He dared not fight again.

They hurriedly turned their horses and fled.

Tie Fangliang, however, was furious with Zhang Qing for secretly injuring him.

But they followed closely behind.
