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

They'll regret it sooner or later.

Although Fangzhou cannot compare to Liangshan Marsh...

However, it is less than a thousand miles from Tokyo.

It is even closer to Luoyang, the capital of the Western Regions.

Wang Qing, seeing that no matter how much trouble he caused...

Song Ting ignored him.

I thought the government was afraid.

As a result, they became increasingly reckless in their actions.

I'm afraid it won't be long before...

That fellow is about to openly occupy the prefecture, raise his banner, and declare himself king...

Chapter 1117 Mangdang Mountain

"Oh, right, brother,"

Wang Dingliu suddenly remembered something.

"When we fought those guys before,"

"Did you hear any of the henchmen calling out to one of them, 'Chief Du'?"

"Chief Du? Could it be Du Xue, one of Wang Qing's subordinates?"

Zhu Wu thought for a moment and said,

"I've heard that this man's martial arts skills are extraordinary, and he is one of Wang Qing's most capable generals."

"Hmph, I don't believe that guy or our Liangshan brothers are any better,"

Qin Ming snorted coldly.

The leader who came down the mountain with Zhao Yuan this time

There were eight people in total.

They are Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Jiao Ting, Luan Tingyu, Lü Fang, and Chen Da.

These are just the Ma army.

On the Qinghe River,

There is another fleet,

There were over a thousand infantrymen on it.

They were also heading downstream to Xuzhou.

A total of three thousand people.

With the fighting strength of the Liangshan soldiers,

That gang of two or three thousand thieves,

It's clearly impossible for them to be the opponent!

As for Du Xue, no matter how capable he is...

As the saying goes, one fist can't beat four hands.

How could they possibly deal with so many people from Liangshan?

.....

The group chatted for a while,

They then went to sleep.

After dawn the next day,

They quickly set off again.

According to Wang Dingliu's original estimate,

After walking for most of the day,

Then you will reach the section of the Qinghe River where the Liangshan navy was trapped.

But unexpectedly, at noon,

Zhao Yuan led an army of two thousand.

Just as we were about to pass the foot of a mountain,

From that mountain,

Suddenly, the clamor of gongs and drums arose.

Then,

Then a large force of men came down from that mountain!

"There's an ambush!"

Qin Ming shouted loudly,

"All troops halt!"

"Could it be that the thugs who blocked our cargo ship are here in advance, waiting to ambush us?"

Luan Tingyu asked in surprise.

"No, that's not right. This place is still more than a hundred li away from the section of the Qinghe River where our boat is located."

Zhu Wu shook his head.

"There were several roads along the way, and we were surrounded by cavalry,"

"Even if we rushed here as fast as we could, those bandits still managed to find out our whereabouts."

"How could they possibly arrive in time to set up an ambush here?"

"Military Advisor Zhu is right,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

"If these people are really those thugs who blocked our fleet,"

"Last night's night raid while we were resting was much better than this ambush."

"By the way, does anyone know which territory this is?"

"Judging by the distance, we should be in Pei County, Xuzhou by now,"

Huang Xin pondered for a moment,

"This should be the place where Liu Bang started his rebellion after slaying the white snake,"

“The mountain nearby should be Mangdang Mountain.”

"Mount Mangdang?"

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly I remembered something.

On Mount Mangdang, there was also a large bandit stronghold.

The chieftain was called Fan Rui, the Mischievous Demon King.

This person, like Zhu Wu, was also a Taoist priest.

Besides him,

There are two other leaders on Mount Mangdang.

They are Xiang Chong, the Eight-Armed Nezha, and Li Gun, the Flying Great Sage.

These three men gathered two to three thousand men on Mount Mangdang.

It can be considered one of the most prominent bandit strongholds in Shandong!

According to the original timeline of Water Margin

These three had even once plotted to take over Liangshan.

But unexpectedly, the news was leaked in advance.

After Song Jiang found out...

Take the lead

Having breached Mount Mangdang,

They beat Fan Rui and the other two into submission.

They also joined the Liangshan bandits...

Chapter 1118 The Mischievous Demon King

But in this current world timeline,

After Zhao Yuan joined Liangshan,

There has never been any conflict with Mangdang Mountain.

Why have Fan Rui and his two companions gotten themselves into trouble with Liangshan again?

"Chief, these people come with ill intentions!"

Luan Tingyu volunteered,

"Shall I lead a cavalry unit to meet them and see what's going on?"

"Row!"

Zhao Yuan nodded.

Luan Tingyu immediately waved his hand.

He led five hundred cavalrymen to meet Fan Rui's army charging down from the mountain.

Zhao Yuan and the others were behind them.

Luan Tingyu was seen leading the way.

Standing at the forefront of Liangshan's cavalry.

Before the army arrived at Mangdang Mountain,

A tall man in a Taoist robe rode out on horseback.

After exchanging a few words with Luan Tingyu,

The two sides parted on bad terms.

Then,

The two sides of the troops,

They immediately charged into battle!

Seeing that the battle had already begun, Qin Ming, the Thunderbolt, realized that...

How could they possibly hold back?

He immediately asked Zhao Yuan for permission to take command.

"Chief, Teacher Luan is outnumbered and outmatched. Let me go and lend him a hand!"

"Chief, I'll go with Master!"

Huang Xin quickly added.

"Go ahead,"

Zhao Yuan nodded.
