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

Zhang Qing spurred his horse into battle and shouted.

"Since you won't surrender, I'll capture you one by one."

"With Zhang Qing here, who dares to fight?"

Gu Kai was not to be outdone.

They rode off to capture Zhang Qing.

The two were still several horse lengths apart.

Zhang Qing then raised his arm.

A flying stone flashed by like a shooting star.

Right in front of Gu Kai's face,

They knocked Gu Kai off his horse.

Feng Yi read it later.

He was furious.

A solid iron bar,

The flying horse snatched Zhang Qing directly.

Zhang Qing waited until Feng Yi arrived.

Another pebble was thrown.

When Feng Yi tried to dodge,

He was hit in the corner of his mouth and fell off his horse.

Fan Yuming saw that two deputy generals had been lost in succession.

With a loud shout,

Then they came to fetch Zhang Qing.

Several feet apart,

Zhang Qing lifted a stone.

Fan Yuming was prepared.

He dodged to the side.

What you see in front of you

Just as he was about to thrust his spear at Zhang Qing,

Zhang Qing then threw another stone.

It was too late to dodge.

He was struck in the forehead by a stone and fell off his horse.

Lu Deyuan, the only one remaining, saw that Fan Yuming and the other two had all been knocked off their horses.

They dared not come to fight.

They had no choice but to send troops to snatch the three generals who had fallen from their horses.

Seeing this, Yingniang also led her troops to attack.

Lu Deyuan saw Zhang Qing charging towards him on horseback.

They dared not engage in battle and turned their horses to flee.

Three of the four generals were knocked off their horses.

One person escapes,

The troops from Hedong had no interest in fighting.

Before the battle even began,

They all followed Lu Deyuan and fled to the back.

Fan Yuming and the other two were all captured by the Liang army.

Zhang Qing led his troops in a three-mile ambush.

Seeing a cloud of dust rising ahead,

Only then did they rein in their troops and arrange them into battle formation.

Bian Xiang led his army five li behind Fan Yuming and his men.

Unexpectedly, their 5,000 troops suffered a crushing defeat so quickly.

Of the four generals, only Lu Deyuan escaped.

When Tian Biao heard from the routed soldiers that Lu Deyuan had fled first,

He glanced at Lu Deyuan kneeling on the ground.

"As a general, one should not fail to lead from the front."

"But he was the first to run away; I killed him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Deyuan hurriedly said,

"It's not that I'm a coward who fears war,"

"It's just that Zhang Qingfei Stone is too powerful,"

"General Fan and his two companions were all knocked off their horses in a single encounter,"

"We haven't even had a chance to fight him."

Tian Biao shouted, "Defeated general!"

"What use are you? Kill you!"

Bian Xiang also felt that generals who led their troops to flee were unacceptable.

Therefore, they did not stop Tian Biao.

Lu Deyuan saw Tian Biao's personal guards coming to arrest him.

They were unwilling to surrender.

He jumped up and ran towards his mount.

"drive!"

Tian Biao kicked his warhorse.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Lu Deyuan.

He swung his broadsword suddenly.

They then cut Lu Deyuan in two.

"Anyone who deserts in the face of battle will be executed without mercy."

Tian Biao killed Lu Deyuan.

This temporarily intimidated everyone.

However, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Bian Xiang left one of his officers to gather the routed soldiers.

He personally led a large army to press forward.

The two armies faced each other, their flags and drums pointing at each other.

Both sides sounded bugles and beat drums in unison.

Bian Xiang came from a farming family.

His arms were as strong as a water buffalo's.

He was highly skilled in martial arts and was a general from Hedong.

Bian Xiang immediately took the lead.

Wearing a golden helmet with phoenix wings on his head and silver armor with fish scales on his body

He was nine feet tall, with a three-pronged mustache covering his mouth.

Square face, broad shoulders, upright eyebrows, round eyes

He rode a warhorse charging through the waves, carrying a massive axe capable of splitting mountains.

On the left and right sides, Fu Xiang was lined up.

Guan Yan, Kou Chen, and Lü Zhen, four false commanders,

Later came the puppet commanders and military officers.

The officers in charge of military defense and local militia training followed behind.

The troops and horses were arranged in a neat and orderly manner.

Zhang Qing rode out into the fray and shouted, "The heavenly army has arrived! Why don't you surrender now? What are you waiting for?"

Bian Xiang also shouted, "You bandits from the marshland, why do you dare to invade my city?"

Seeing Bian Xiang's rudeness, Zhang Qing scolded him.

"Our Great Liang defeated the Liao Kingdom,"

"Destroying Western Xia and unifying the world is imminent."

"I don't want anyone to try and stop me."

"You are all out of touch with reality,"

"Don't blame me for being heartless."

"With Zhang Qing here, who will face death?"

Guan Yan then rushed out.

"I've come to meet you."

Chapter 1676 Duel of Generals on the Battlefield

Zhang Qing laughed and said, "One comes, one falls."

Not yet upon them.

Zhang Qingfei lifted a stone.

He then knocked Guan Yan off his horse.

Zhang Qing resented Bian Xiang's rude remarks.

He spurred his horse forward a few steps,

With a single shot, he stabbed Guan Yan to death on the spot.

"Who would dare to come and die?"

"Give me your life."

Kou Chen and Guan Yan were lovers.

Seeing his friend stabbed to death,

He immediately let out a loud shout.

They marched in to seize Zhang Qing.

Although Kou Chen arrived suddenly,

However, he couldn't escape Zhang Qingfei's flying stones.

They were also knocked off their horses before they even reached them.

He was then stabbed to death by Zhang Qing.
