The Cold Door Hero

Summary

Zhang Shun reported the appearance of unidentified ships on the river west of Ezhou, indicating that Hei Xin Long Wang's army was nearby. Li Yan Qing ordered an ambush, confident that Hei Xin Long Wang would focus his forces on land. Du Hei Xin mobilized 600 men, sending his sons Du Yue and Du Yang to lead the land and water forces, respectively. Du Yue, eager for plunder, rallied his bandits to attack Jiayu County. As night fell, Jiayu County prepared for defense, with Lieutenant Zhou Ping feeling anxious about the river bandits. Meanwhile, Li Yan Qing remained calm, deploying his sister Hu Qing Er to defend the naval camp. As the river bandits approached, Du Yue led his men to attack the camp but was met with a surprise volley of arrows, resulting in his death and causing chaos among the bandits. The river bandits were almost entirely wiped out, with only a few escaping. Concurrently, Du Yang's water forces suffered heavy losses against Zhang Shun's boats, leaving Li Yan Qing's defenses intact.
