I became a saint by picking up corpses in Water Margin

Chapter 353 Want to hurt my brother? Wu Song Shuang Dao disagrees

Cai Qing's specialty is beheading. During his time as an official, he, like his brother Cai Fu, has developed a pair of strong arms. At this moment, he risked injury and got close to Li Gun and started to cut him with his knife.

The great head flew off the neck.

Immediately afterwards, his body swayed and fell to the north, revealing a scarlet fracture as big as a bowl. Foamy blood gushed out from the cut and solidified in an instant on the sand.

All his companions were stunned, especially Song Jiang who was at the front. They saw his lips pursed and thought he was hallucinating.

Tang Long and Hou Jian were fighting to a draw. Who could have thought that Li Gun would actually lose to Cai Qing, and lose his head so quickly.

"Lee Gun!"

Everyone was still in shock. Xiang Chong, with red eyes, rushed out with a shield in one hand and a javelin in the other, ready to fight to the death. He shouted heartbreakingly: "Cai Qing, you killed my brother, I want you dead!"

"How dare you, man!"

"Brother, I'm here to help you!"

Wu Song was the first to react. He rushed forward to protect the injured Cai Qing. Yan Qing followed closely behind to help. The other generals held their weapons tightly, staring at the opposite side with eager eyes.

Song Jiang's side also reacted in response, and they all made gestures to launch a decisive battle, which made Xiang Chong, who had rushed out, stay where he was.

Although Li Gun's death was an exception, fighting with Wu Song was no different from committing suicide.

Just when Xiang Chong was in a dilemma, he heard Song Jiang shouting from behind: "Erlang, don't misunderstand. We are all upright people from Liangshan. Xiang Chong will not take advantage of others. He is the third infantry general to appear. You should continue to send people to the stage, right?"

"Yeah."

Xiang Chong immediately took advantage of the situation and challenged the people in the rear formation, but he did not dare to look directly at Wu Song in front of him. "I have been ordered to come out third. Who will come out to fight me?"

"Are you the third general?"

"That's right!"

"Then you can't fight. We don't have any infantry generals behind us. The rest are all cavalry generals."

"what?"

When Wu Song said this, Xiang Chong turned around and looked at Song Jiang in disbelief, as if asking him what to do.

Song Jiang was also confused at this time, and hurriedly turned to Wu Yong for advice.

"Military Advisor, look at this."

"According to Wu Song, the Ruan brothers and Tao Zongwang are also cavalry generals? Maybe he looked at our lineup and said this on purpose to protect these three people, but neither horse fighting nor foot fighting are the strengths of these three people."

"Explain yourself!"

"Cai Qing has been taken away by Yan Qing. Let Xiang Chong bring back Li Gun's body. Let Wu Song send his generals out to fight first. Otherwise, we will be easily targeted by them if we always send out the first troops."

Wu Yong's reply was so serious that Song Jiang agreed with it and immediately followed his instructions.

Wu Song knew that he couldn't always have the upper hand, so after careful consideration, he finally sent the Nine-tailed Turtle Tao Zongwang to fight the third round, but warned him not to act too aggressively and to just admit defeat if he met a strong enemy.

After all, this is not the underworld. With the precedent of a draw between Hou Jian and Tang Long, there seems to be nothing shameful in admitting defeat.

Tao Zongwang agreed readily, picked up a shovel and rode his horse to the center of the field, looking around as if he was looking at crops.

After a while, he held the shovel in his fist and shouted loudly: "Tao Zongwang is here, who can give me some advice?"

"This Wu Er"

Song Jiang wanted to say that Wu Er was also treacherous, but Wu Song had always been known as a hero, and he was afraid that other brothers would disagree, so he immediately changed the subject and asked his subordinates: "This guy used to farm and build cities, but now he has become a cavalry general under Yang Chang. Which brother is willing to go out and deal with him?"

"This"

The people nearby looked back, but no one stepped forward.

This was not because Tao Zongwang was too strong, but because the shovel he held looked funny. No one wanted to bully a farmer, as they thought they would not gain face even if they won.

Except for Tao Zongwang, the rest of Wu Song's party were all heroes who were ranked in the Tian Gang. Especially the Ruan brothers were the leaders of the navy. Wouldn't it be like sending off their achievements when they were on horseback? Many people were staring at the two Ruan brothers at this time.

Wu Yong looked around and realized that except for the four Tiangang cavalry generals, none of them could be used to deal with Tao Zongwang. The rest were Huang Xin, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, and Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu who were capable of fighting both on foot and on horseback.

Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu were originally on the list of Tian Gang, but due to Yang Chang's strong rise in the middle, he and Hu Sanniang squeezed out the Tian Gang quota, so the two brothers could only be relegated to the Di Sha, and were not suitable to be sent to bully the farmer.

After thinking it over, Wu Yong immediately approached Song Jiang and whispered a reminder in his ear that he would give the decision-making power to the purple-robed General Song.

Without thinking too much, Song Jiang ordered Huang Xin, the governor of Sanshan, to fight in the third battle, intending to give his own people a hard time.

As for the two Tian Gangs of Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, they were divided equally between the combination of Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu and the combination of Lu Fang and Guo Sheng, so that all aspects were taken care of.

Although Huang Xin is known as the Town of Three Mountains and is the apprentice of Qin Ming, one of the Five Tiger Generals, his strength is not as loud as his nickname.

Song Jiang considered many aspects and ranked him 2nd among the 38th Disha Stars. However, when he ranked the Five Tigers, Eight Tigers and Little Tigers, he positioned him according to his real martial arts, ranking him 16th among the 5 Little Tigers of the Cavalry. (The ones ahead of him are Sun Li, Xuan Zan, Hao Siwen and Shan Tinggui)

Of course, although Lu Fang and Guo Sheng were not included in the list of Xiaobiao, they had long served as the captains of Song Jiang’s central army guards, and their martial arts were not necessarily weaker than Huang Xin’s.

There is always someone to bully the weak, so this opportunity fell to Huang Xin, because he is Hei Sanlang's confidant.

As soon as Huang Xin received the order and stepped out of the line, Song Jiang called him and pointed at Li Gun's body, reminding him sternly: "Since Cai Qing disregards our brotherhood, you should not be too merciful. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Commander. I must understand!"

"Just go."

Song Jiang raised his hand, and Huang Xin urged his horse to gallop straight towards Tao Zongwang.

"Huang Dujian, please teach me."

"Wusong sent you to die. My sword of death will not show mercy. Watch out for it!"

Tao Zongwang was just greeting him politely when Huang Xin approached him, sword in both hands, and pointed it at his neck, as if he was going to imitate Cai Qing and behead him with one sword.

Ok?
The Fatal Sword has a long and broad blade, an oval tip and a blunt blade. It is a two-handed sword similar to a heavy weapon, and it feels like an iron whip when swung.

Tao Zongwang swung his shovel to block it, and instantly there was a sound of metal clashing and sparks flying.

An ordinary shovel had been smashed to pieces by the Sangmen Sword long ago, but this shovel was made of iron by Tang Long after he went to Liangshan. It weighed about forty or fifty kilograms. It was not easy for Tao Zongwang to wield it flexibly, which showed that he was quite strong.

Of course, although he came from a peasant family and had always been in charge of construction in Liangshan, as a leader he did not have to work. He carried a shovel to "go to work" every day and occasionally showed off in front of his "fellow workers", which was also a way to establish his authority.

Later, with the guidance of Yang Chang in the use of spear and stick, Tao Zongwang turned his brute force into real kung fu, but he had been using the shovel for many years and never replaced it. Whenever he went out to the prefectures and counties to inspect farm work, he carried this familiar weapon with him.

There was a crisp sound, and Huang Xin's hands went numb.

He charged forward, turned his horse around, pointed his sword at Tao Zongwang and asked, "You are quite strong, I didn't see that before. Are you hiding your strength on purpose?"

"Huang Dujian, you are joking. I am just a farmer. If I didn't have a lot of strength, how could I have gotten a position in Liangshan? You didn't pay attention to me before, did you?"

"Okay, okay, you still have strength, right? Let's do it again!"

Huang Xin raised the Death Sword and moved forward again, thinking to himself that Master is good at using heavy weapons. I used to fight with Master all the time. When I exhaust your strength in a few moves, you will die.

Tao Zongwang had always thought that Huang Xin was very strong, and he was prepared to surrender if he couldn't beat him, but he found that he could handle it. In a blink of an eye, the two had fought for more than ten rounds. Tao Zongwang was not exhausted, and he felt that he could do it more and more, but Huang Xin was sweating all over.

As the two were fighting on horseback, the rising dust could no longer block their vision, allowing both sides to see clearly.

Xu Ning in Song Jiang's camp watched for a while and couldn't help but muttered, "Tao's martial arts are really not weak. The key is that the shovel is incredible. It took Huang Xin's sword several times and it didn't break."

"Brother, that shovel won't rot."

"Huh? Why?"

After hearing Tang Long's words, Xu Ning couldn't help but ask the reason.

Then I heard my cousin answer: "I made that shovel. It is made of pure iron from top to bottom and weighs about 40 pounds."

"hiss"

Xu Ning took a deep breath, "According to what you said, Tao Zongwang is very strong. It seems that Brother Huang didn't give in. Is he really struggling?"

"You don't have to worry."

Qin Ming, who was standing beside him, found it irritating and finally interrupted the two of them, saying sternly, "My disciple, I believe that Tao Zongwang only has brute force. Huang Xin is deliberately fighting with him now. When he runs out of strength, the winner will be decided in an instant."

"Yes Yes Yes"

Qin Ming stepped forward to help, which dispelled the doubts of the people in front of Song Jiang's formation, and they all waited to see if Tao Zongwang would be defeated.

However, the two fought for more than thirty rounds, and Tao Zongwang still swung the shovel in an orderly manner, with no sign of weakening strength at all, while his opponent Huang Xin kept gasping for breath.

Enter the mother and grab the bird!

Is this kind of land so difficult to grind?
Before he was exhausted, I couldn't take it anymore.

How to do?
I am Zhen Sanshan, the second among the Earthly Fiends and 2th in the overall ranking. If I end up in a tie with this fellow, I will lose face. What's more, my master and all my brothers are watching me, and it will be too embarrassing if I can't win.

No, I've already figured out his ways, I have to take some risks.

The two of them just charged back and forth, each attacking and defending only once, then turning their horses to adjust the rhythm, and then riding their horses to attack the other side. Whoever attacks first is the attacker.

Both the Death Sword and the Shovel are heavy weapons. It is difficult to suppress the opponent directly with strength and skills without the help of the impact force of the horse, unless the strength reaches a higher level, but Huang Xin intends to give it a try.

With this thought in mind, he attacked with the Death Sword again, but it was blocked by the shovel as expected. However, the guy forced himself to retract the attack and attacked again immediately, hoping to catch Tao Zongwang off guard.

Tao Zongwang was indeed a little surprised, but Huang Xin was not as strong as him at that time, and the time he took to 'sheath the sword' was too long, and his waist was exposed when his left hand was raised high, which became a flaw.

If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard. Tao Zongwang came from a small peasant background and had the strongest sense of belonging. He picked up a shovel and hit the flaw.

boom!
Tao Zongwang had more strength left, so his attack speed was faster than Huang Xin, and the shovel hit his waist hard.

"what"

Huang Xin let out a scream and was knocked off his horse by the shovel.

In that scene, the shovel was like a banana fan, blowing Huang Xin away with a bang, which surprised Tao Zongwang.

He held the shovel and looked at it again and again, still unable to believe that he had won.

“Hiss.”

"This"

Seeing Huang Xin struggling and groaning on the ground, Tao Zongwang finally came out of his own world. Just as he was hesitating whether to add another shovel, he heard a loud shout from the enemy camp.

"You bastard, if you hurt my disciple, I will kill you!"

"hiss"

Tao Zongwang turned his head and saw Qin Ming running towards him with a mace in his hand. He had obviously forgotten Song Jiang's rules.

It's over now
"Go back!"

"Captain Wu?"

Hearing Wu Song's voice, Tao Zongwang, who was already frightened, decisively turned his horse and returned to his camp.

When Qin Ming saw Tao Zongwang retreating, he could only vent his anger on Wu Song who came to support him. His mace fell like a mountain, but was firmly held by two swords.

"If you want to hurt my brother, ask the knife in Wu Song's hand first!"

"You came just in time. Everyone says you are a hero, but I won't just follow the crowd. I'll know the result only after I try!"

"Just try it."

When Wu Song and Qin Ming charged into the battle line, people on both sides were eager to try.

Song Jiang was worried about a fight breaking out, so he hurriedly stopped his brothers and shouted to the other side: "Don't get excited, these two are just in the fourth fight. Go and bring Huang Xin back, and don't interfere with the fight between Wu Song and Qin Ming."

"I go!"

Shi Xiu went into battle under great pressure. Yan Qing and the others knew that he was a man of honor. After all, he only had two legs to run. If he really had evil intentions halfway through, Wu Song's companions would be able to support him in time, so no one would step forward to stop him and save people.

As for Huang Xin who was lying on the ground groaning, he had been hit hard by Tao Zongwang's shovel and was in so much pain that half of his body seemed to not belong to him. He had completely lost his fighting ability. Whether he was killed or not did not affect the war, as everyone's attention was on the field.

One is a fierce general of the cavalry, and the other is a leader of the infantry.

The two were not in the same field, but they became friends because Wu Song learned how to ride a horse.

According to Qin Ming's memory, Wu Song had never had any experience in horse fighting, and his previous martial arts skills were of little use on horseback. As a result, after several rounds, he actually felt the pressure.

It was because Wu Song learned horse riding that Qin Ming saw the peculiarities of the martial arts world. The fierce offensive was strange and dangerous, very different from the conventional double-sword routines. He had to give up certain offensive moves and free up his energy to defend against these risky moves.

This was Wu Song's first time fighting against an opponent of the Five Tigers' level since he got on horseback. Although his martial arts skills were bizarre and dangerous, he was unable to defeat Qin Ming quickly. However, he also felt the stability of traditional tactics, so he summed up his experience while fighting.

If it was an ordinary opponent, Qin Ming would suppress him with his mace, use his strength to consume the enemy's physical strength, and finally defeat him easily. However, Wu Song is not an ordinary person. Not only is his strength lasting, but it will also explode in adversity.

The two men adapted to each other, and the battle rounds dragged on and on, but the excitement did not decrease, keeping their companions on both sides glued to the battle.

Until the sky gradually darkened, the two men fought for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner. Song Jiang saw the opportunity and proposed to withdraw the troops temporarily. Both sides retreated two miles and set up camp on the spot, waiting to continue the fight tomorrow morning.

Wu Song and Qin Ming were both tired, so they returned to their camp after Song Jiang's suggestion, and the soldiers of both sides then retreated at the same time.

Because they were so close, both sides set up camp under the cover of night and dug traps, set up antlers and other defenses to prevent the other side from raiding the camp at night.

Qin Ming was extremely tired today. He felt dizzy and followed the retreat. It was not until the entire army stopped to rest that he remembered that his disciple was injured.

He stood up and was about to look for Huang Xin, but Song Jiang came over and said sternly, "Huang Xin is seriously injured, and I think he has several broken bones. He keeps crying out in pain after being rescued. There are doctors in the army but no good medicine. I plan to send him back to Shexian for treatment overnight. You go and give him some words of encouragement."

"Um"

Qin Ming nodded in agreement, thinking that the shovel weighed about 40 pounds, which was equivalent to hitting armor with a blunt object. It was inevitable that Huang Xin's ribs would be broken. He just hoped that his internal organs were not damaged.
