Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 650: Fighting General 2
On the city wall, General Gao and his men saw Wang Tianba carrying Dang Shiying's body and roaring like thunder, with their faces turning pale.

When Dang Shiying's brother Dang Shixiong saw this, he shouted, "Traitor, give my brother back his life."

After saying this, he rode out of the city despite Wang Huan's obstruction.

When Wang Tianba saw this, he shook off Dang Shiying's body and shouted, "Who are you?"

Dang Shixiong did not answer, but charged forward with his spear in hand and his horse at the risk of his life.

Wang Tianba fought back with his pen and club, and after ten rounds of fighting, Dang Shixiong showed signs of defeat. On the tower, Xu Jing saw this, rushed out of the city, and rode his horse to help.

When Wang Tianba saw someone coming to help, he shouted loudly and hit Dang Shixiong from above with the brush in his hand. With just one hit, he smashed Dang Shixiong's head, causing him to fall off his horse. He then started to fight with Xu Jing.

Xu Jing chopped down on Wang Tianba's head with the copper stick in his hand, and Wang Tianba fought back with his pen. The stick came to block, and the stick went to meet the stick. The two men fought fiercely, showing off their skills in their lives. After more than fifty rounds, there was no winner. When the soldiers on both sides saw this, they cheered loudly. In the shadow of the clouds, with the sound of drums and horns, the two men fought for more than eighty rounds, but there was still no winner.

Zhao Zhen was afraid that Wang Tianba would become weak after fighting for too long, so he said to Shi Wengong, "Coach Shi, you can replace Wang Tianba."

After hearing this, Shi Wengong responded and rode out into the battle.

Shi Wengong shouted loudly: "General Wang, please wait a moment. I will kill this thief right away!"

Xu Jing was furious when he heard this. He left Wang Tianba and attacked Shi Wengong.

Shi Wengong was a skilled fighter, and Xu Jing had been fighting for a long time, so after more than twenty rounds they could only block him. Wang Huan and Zhang Kai saw him and rushed out together to kill him.

On the Liangshan side, [Little Li Guang] Hua Rong and [Double Whip] Hu Yanzhuo saw it and rode their horses to catch it.

Hua Rong held the glittering silver spear against Wang Huan's Hundred Flowers Spear, Hu Yanzhuo wielded the water-milled eight-edged tiger-eye steel whip against the open wolf-fang iron spear. Six horses fought in three pairs in front of the formation.

Han Cunbao saw this and waved his Fang Tian Hua Ji to help. When General Gao saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Han Jiedu, we have been fighting for a long time today and will fight again tomorrow. Now call it a day."

At that moment, Gao Qiu ordered his men to strike the gong. Xu Jing was too weak to do so and turned his horse around. Wang Huan shouted, "Take a break. It's getting late today and we'll be fighting again tomorrow."

When Shi Wengong and the other two saw this, they did not chase after them, but reined in their horses and turned back.

In Chuqiu City, General Gao and Han Cunbao followed Xu Jing and the other two. General Gao said, "Today I know that all the military governors are heroes."

Outside the city, Zhao Zhen held a banquet to congratulate Wang Tianba for killing two people in a row.

Wang Tianba said: "My husband, this Xu Jing is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Shi Wengong also said: "At this age, he can fight with Wang Tianba for more than a hundred rounds. He is indeed a hero."

Hu Yanzhuo shouted, "It's a pity that I didn't have a good fight today. The man I'm fighting with has a heavy spear in his hand. Tomorrow I will challenge him."

On the second day, Hu Yanzhuo was the first to go into battle. He wore a high-angle iron hat, a golden silk headband, a black silk robe with seven-star nails, and black oil-inlaid armor. He rode a black horse and held two water-ground eight-sided steel whips. A powerful armor-piercing spear was hung on his ring.

Hu Yanzhuo shouted, "Old man, the commander of Yizhou, Shuangbian Hu Yanzhuo, is here, hurry out of the city and die."

After hearing this, Han Cunbao shouted angrily, mounted his horse and rode out of the city.

When he saw Hu Yanzhuo, he shouted, "You are a talentless young man, a traitorous madman. You have betrayed the court and disgraced the reputation of our ancestors. How dare you be so arrogant when Han Cunbao is here?" Hu Yanzhuo was furious and started to beat him with his whips. When Hu Yanzhuo fought Han Cunbao, they were perfect opponents. When the halberds came and the whips went, flowers appeared in the air, and when the whips went and the halberds came, brocade appeared in the air. The two fought for more than fifty rounds, but there was no clear winner.

Hu Yanzhuo pretended to be vulnerable and rode away on his horse around the formation. Han Cunbao saw this and wanted to capture Hu Yanzhuo in exchange for the captured Yang Wen and Li Congji, so he rode over on his horse.

Hu Yanzhuo pulled his horse back, hung his double whips on the victory hook, and drew his spear to meet him. The two fought for more than ten rounds, and Hu Yanzhuo made a feint with his spear, turned his horse back and ran away.

Han Cunbao thought to himself: This guy can't hurt me with his whip, and he can't defeat me with his spear. If I don't catch this thief alive here, when will I catch him?

After passing a forest, Hu Yanzhuo changed his whips again and pointed at Han Cunbao and said, "Han Jiedu, I know you are the nephew of Han Taishi. I have let you go here and was about to capture you alive. Why don't you dismount and surrender?"

Han Cunbao laughed loudly after hearing this: "When did the Hu family produce someone like you who can only talk? You are my defeated general, and you want me to surrender you? I am here to capture you alive."

After saying this, Han Cunbao rode forward.

There was a shout, and Han Cunbao was stepping into a pit, and both the man and the horse fell into it. Fifty or sixty hook-pullers came out of the woods on both sides, first hooked Han Cunbao up, tied him up, and then led out the good horse.

Hu Yanzhuo laughed loudly and said, "Han Jiedu, what do you think? I am not here to arrest you, am I?"

Han Cunbao opened his mouth to speak, glanced at Hu Yanzhuo, and lowered his head.

It turned out that during the fighting yesterday, Yang Zhi, the commander of the Jizhou army, sent a message to persuade Yang Wen and Li Congji to surrender. Zhao Zhen heard this and sent Dai Zong and Ma Ling to take Wu Neng and Xu Jin to their hometowns to take their families away.

As for the Ten Jiedushi, they also got to know each other. Although they were called the Ten Jiedushi, they were not old acquaintances. It was just that all the ten were recruited during the Jianzhong Jingguo and Chongning years, and all of them were appointed as Jiedushi, so they were collectively called the Ten Jiedushi. In fact, they were not close friends.

Yesterday, seeing that Wang Huan, Zhang Kai and Xu Jing were all highly skilled in martial arts, Zhao Zhen and others discussed in the big tent and then ordered Tang Long and Tao Zongwang to lead their personal followers with golden spears, and to carry hooks and sickles, grappling hooks and lassoes to dig pits in advance, waiting for the battle to lure the men in and capture them.

At that moment, everyone surrounded Han Cunbao and brought him to Dazhai to ask for reward.

Gao Qiu and others watched from afar as Han Cunbao was captured. At that moment, Xu Jingchuo rode out of the city with a copper stick and shouted, "Shameless traitor, come and fight me for three hundred rounds."

Here in Liangshan, it is [Little Li Guang] who goes into battle.

Xu Jing shouted, "Little pretty boy, call the ugly guy from yesterday."

Hua Rong was not angry, and said with a smile: "Old Ape Xu, you fought for a long time yesterday and were defeated and returned to the city. How dare you go out to fight today?"

Xu Jing said angrily: "I will kill you first, and then kill the ugly man."

After that, he chopped down with the copper stick in his hand, and Hua Rong rode his horse and held his spear to fight Xu Jing. The two fought for forty or fifty rounds, but there was no winner.

Over and over, the glamorous silver spear never rested. Over and over, the copper stick had a thousand ways to deal with it. The copper stick chopped down on the head, only a fraction of a second away from the top of the head; the glamorous silver spear stabbed hard, aiming at the heart with a half finger.

Hua Rong fought for many rounds, then showed off his weakness, turned his horse around and fled around the army formation.

When Xu Jing saw him, he did not chase him, but cursed him: "Little thief, why did you leave me alone?"

When Hua Rong saw that Xu Jing was not coming, he turned his horse around and fought again.
