The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Li Yan Qing assigned a riddle about the potential retreat of the Liang Shan Jun, with most believing they would head to Bo Zhou. Li Yan Qing agreed but understood their options were limited. The Liang Shan Jun could not capture Daming Prefecture and would struggle in Xiang Zhou. He noted the importance of Gaotang County, which had been abandoned by Song Jiang, leading to their forces being annihilated. Zhang Cen, the commander in Xian County, debated whether to abandon it for Gaotang or Liaocheng, but was uncertain about Song Jiang's intentions for reinforcements. As tensions rose, Zhang Cen remained vigilant, suspecting enemy activity. Meanwhile, Li Yan Qing's forces were secretly digging tunnels near the city wall to exploit weaknesses in the defenses. They planned to use explosives to breach the wall, confident that the Liang Shan Jun would retreat upon seeing the destruction. The chapter culminated in a surprise attack as Li Yan Qing's soldiers detonated Thunderclap bombs, causing chaos among the defenders.
