Qin Ming immediately retorted angrily, "Who cares about Chao Gai and Ma Gai? I'll just take their heads in one fell swoop! Do you think I'm just like Wen Da and Li Cheng from your Daming Prefecture? Fearing to advance when facing the enemy and cowering in battle!"
This Qin Ming is not from this area.
It was only when Prefect Murong took office that he specifically brought him along to protect him.
At this moment, he saw that the two officers from Daming Prefecture looked down on him.
Therefore, they directly uncovered the dark history of Li Cheng and Wen Da.
The officer, rendered speechless by the shout, quickly retreated to the side.
Prefect Murong laughed heartily and said, "Truly worthy of being a tiger general of Qingzhou! General, please go ahead, I will have someone arrange a meal outside the city!"
Qin Ming bowed to Prefect Murong and then left.
When he arrived at the command post,
His apprentice, Huang Xin, was waiting for him there.
Upon seeing his master approach, he quickly bowed.
"What business does the Prefect have with the General?"
Qin Ming instructed, "For the purpose of annihilating the bandits of Erlong Mountain, you muster one hundred cavalry and four hundred infantry for me. I will go there now. You stay home and guard the city well!"
Huang Xin wondered, "Why did Lord Murong suddenly think of Erlong Mountain? Those bandits have been robbing and plundering for more than a day or two, and he never cared. It's strange that he's calling on the general to take action now!"
"We are both soldiers of the nation. The court raises us to fight and eliminate traitors. Why think about these things? Hurry up and muster the troops! Don't delay. I'll wipe out these bastards and come back tonight to drink with you!" Qin Ming said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Huang Xin nodded repeatedly without hesitation and hurried off to muster his troops.
Before long, five hundred elite soldiers were selected and handed over to their superior and mentor, Qin Ming.
Qin Ming laughed heartily, picked up the spiked club, mounted his warhorse, and
After leading the five hundred soldiers out of the city and having them eaten their fill,
They headed straight for Erlong Mountain.
......
On Erlong Mountain,
Chao Gai and his men were drinking when a henchman came to report...
"Brothers, something terrible has happened! Soldiers and government troops have surrounded us!"
Chao Gai immediately ordered, "Guard the pass well, we'll be there right away!"
Chapter 300 Qin Ming Displays His Power
The henchman went to relay the order upon hearing this.
Liu Tang immediately stood up and angrily shouted, "Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to cause trouble here! Brother, let me go and capture him!"
After saying that, Liu Tang picked up a broadsword and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Gongsun Sheng quickly stood up to stop him, and said to Chao Gai,
"As the saying goes, those who come are not friendly, and those who are friendly do not come! We must not underestimate the enemy. Let's go out together and see what happens!"
"The Taoist priest is right. Come, get my machete, let's go and meet that damned government soldier!"
Chao Gai nodded.
The group discussed it and decided to leave Wu Yong and Bai Sheng to guard the stronghold.
Chao Gai led Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang, raising three hundred men, and went out of the pass to meet the enemy.
"If your bandit leader hears of my name, Thunderbolt, and comes out bound and surrenders, I will spare your lives! Otherwise, I will destroy your stronghold in an instant, and none of you will survive!"
Qin Ming, mounted on his horse, saw the imposing pass and did not immediately attempt to attack it, but instead shouted instructions from the front of the formation.
Then the door is closed and opened.
Seeing three burly men leading several hundred henchmen out,
Qin Ming burst into laughter and looked at the leader, saying, "So you're that bird-like Heavenly King Chao Gai?"
Chao Gai smiled slightly, not minding at all, and stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, saying, "I am Chao Gai from Jizhou. May I ask your name, General?"
"I am Qin Ming, the military commander of Qingzhou, and I have come here to annihilate you all by order of the prefect! If you surrender on the battlefield, I may spare your lives! If you dare to resist, I will kill you all!" Qin Ming roared.
Liu Tang, having just heard him insult Chao Gai, was already dissatisfied.
Seeing Qin Ming looking down on them, they could no longer contain their anger.
He picked up the broadsword and charged forward.
Seeing Qin Ming's imposing presence, Gongsun Sheng, standing behind,
He didn't look like someone like Yi Yu.
He quickly called out, "Brother Liu Tang, be careful!"
Liu Tang laughed heartily: "What real talent do the government troops have? Let me capture this scoundrel first! This bird general even brought over a hundred fine horses, which are exactly what our stronghold desperately needs!"
Qin Ming was enraged when he saw that the other party was so disrespectful to him.
He charged forward, holding the spiked club upside down.
Seeing the two horses clash, Qin Ming swung his staff.
Upon seeing this, Liu Tang quickly dodged.
Qin Ming's strike missed its mark, and he was furious.
But he unleashed another blow with tremendous force.
At this point, Liu Tang had nowhere left to retreat.
He had no choice but to use his broadsword to parry.
There was only a "click" sound.
The broadsword was actually broken in two by Qin Ming's single blow.
Liu Tang was immediately alarmed.
Now that he was out of weaponry, he quickly turned his horse and rode away.
Qin Ming spurred his horse to catch up.
He struck the horse's rump with a stick.
The horse was instantly covered in blood and flesh.
Then, with a long hiss, it crashed to the ground.
He pinned Liu Tang down.
Upon seeing this, Chao Gai quickly grabbed his machete and charged out of the formation.
He shouted urgently, "Don't hurt my brothers!"
Seeing this, Qin Ming did not attempt to kill Liu Tang.
He charged straight at Chao Gai.
At this moment, the henchmen of Erlong Mountain,
No one dared to step forward to rescue the three leaders, and they could only watch helplessly as Liu Tang was captured by the government troops.
Chao Gai was furious and immediately engaged Qin Ming in battle.
His strength was immediately apparent upon first exchange of blows.
At that moment, all I could do was focus my mind and fight back with all my might.
The two fought for sixty or seventy rounds.
Chao Gai gradually grew weaker.

Gongsun Sheng, watching from behind, was horrified.
He wondered to himself where this person came from, possessing such great skills.
It was so powerful that even the mighty Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was unable to withstand it.
And there he was again, the officer exuding an imposing aura.
Gongsun Sheng steeled his resolve, thinking that if he couldn't defeat this man today...
The counterfeit is doomed!
Even if I die here today,
We can't just watch Chao Gai get captured.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Sheng drew his sword, spurred his horse, and went forward to help.
Upon seeing this, Chao Gai immediately shouted, "Daoist, go back and don't worry about me!"
Qin Ming wielded his spiked club with fierce power, laughing triumphantly.

"Come one, catch one! Come two, catch both!"
At this extremely critical juncture,
Suddenly, a sound like ten thousand horses galloping resounded from the mountain.
Then,
There were many people on the mountain.
It looked as if thousands of people were about to charge down.
The henchmen of Erlong Mountain looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Gongsun Sheng immediately realized what was happening.
He immediately burst into laughter, saying, "Qin Ming, you've fallen for my strategist's trap! Watch as we capture you alive, then head to Qingzhou to settle accounts with that treacherous Murong!"
When he shouted that,
The expressions of Qin Ming's soldiers immediately changed.
Even Qin Ming himself felt a little flustered.
Judging from the commotion on the mountain,
There are probably at least one or two thousand people.
However, he only brought five hundred soldiers with him.
If we are really surrounded by bandits,
With his superior martial arts skills, he might be able to break through the encirclement.
But won't all these soldiers perish here?
Even if we go back then,
I'm afraid I won't be able to explain this to Prefect Murong!
Chapter 301 Erlong Mountain Surrounded
Although Qin Ming had a fiery temper, he wasn't an idiot.
Seeing that there were still ambushing troops on the mountain about to rush down,
After thinking about it for a moment,
He then did not linger with Chao Gai.
He ordered his soldiers to take Liu Tang and retreat.
Qin Ming had just led his troops in retreat,
Wu Yong, leading a troop of soldiers, hurriedly came out.
"Master, Taoist priest, quickly return to the mountain to defend!"
