Episode 37 Defeating Defender-in-Chief Gao

Defender Chen

Did you have a good time

granting the imperial amnesty to Mount Liang?

Well, well…

Defender-in-Chief Gao, you've won

It seems that you will have a good time

leading the campaign personally

I will not disappoint the Emperor

It seems that we will not meet again

before my campaign even begins

I hope that you will have a better ending

than Inspector-in-Chief Li

You…

Assemble for the Imperial Court!

After you

After you

You're fine now

You're flustered and got qi stuck in your chest

Take some more medicine and rest properly

You will feel better in a few days

All right. I will prepare some medicine

Should I take them with you?

We've missed a good opportunity again

Brother

The amnesty concerns all of our fate

The time has not come yet

You need to be patient

Brother

That decree spoke very clearly

We were regarded as despicable rebels to be eliminated

If we accept the amnesty

they will crush us!

I have no other choice

but to make Li Kui upset

and ruin the whole event

Yes, it was me. It was an emergency

so I couldn't discuss it with you

Please forgive me

Are you trying

to stop us from ever getting amnesty?

No, that's not true

That amnesty was a trap!

And since we ruined it

they will not forgive us

Gao Qiu will definitely launch an attack against us

If we can defeat him

they will fear us

Then, they will grant us an amnesty

with different terms

It seems to be the only way to go

Brother, please give orders

Tell our men to sharpen their weapons

prepare well ships and horses

and get ready to fight against the imperial army

We need to prepare food as well

Don't worry. I will have them well-prepared

Send a brother to the Capital

We need to know what's happening there

Let's send Dai Zong then

Tell Mr. Lu to come here as well

We have to plan this properly

All right. I will go to him now

Brother Yan Qing

You're thinking about that girl from Fragrance House again?

Brother Yan Qing

Every time I broke the rules

Brother Song would scold me

This time, I punched the face of an Imperial envoy

and ruined the imperial amnesty

Brother Song did not punish me

It feels very weird

Hey, I'm talking to you. Can you stop playing?

What's the matter?

I want to talk to you

I don't usually have time to play my flute

And you're here to bother me again

All right. I'll stop

Tell me

After I beat that Inspector-in-chief Li

Brother Song didn't punish me

If he doesn't punish me

I will feel uneasy

So, you feel better if he scolds you every day

Yeah, you've got that right

I feel better whenever he scolds me

If he ignores me

I will feel empty

Hey…

You're just like a wild walnut, difficult to crack

Look!

Dai Zong has come back. Let's go

Brother

Brother!

I'm back!

Magic Traveler Dai Zong has returned

What's the hurry?

Defender Chen Zongshan

was suspended after he returned to the Capital

The Imperial Court had assigned Gao Qiu as the Chief Commander

He is ordered to assemble an army to attack Mount Liang

Grand Preceptor Cai Jing had ordered ten military commissioners

to gather their troops in Jizhou

and be at Gao Qiu's command

Their troops are on the move

Military Commissioner of Henan and Hebei, Wang Huan

Military Commissioner of Shangdang and Taiyuan, Xu Jing

Military Commissioner of Jingbei and Hongnong, Wang Wende

Military Commissioner of Yingzhou and Runan, Mei Zhan

Military Commissioner of Zhongshan and Anping, Zhang Kai

Military Commissioner of Jiangxia and Lingling, Yang Wen

Military Commissioner of Yunzhong and Yanmen, Han Cunbao

Military Commissioner of Longxi and Hanyang, Li Congji

Military Commissioner of Langya and Pengcheng, Xiang Yuanzhen

Military Commissioner of Qinghe and Tianshui, Jing Zhong

To be honest

I don't want to fight a war against the Imperial Court

We can't avoid it this time

If we don't want any more fight

either they kill us

or we beat them hard enough

until they don't dare to fight us

Then, they will call for peace and grant us an amnesty

It seems that the Imperial Court is firm with its decision

Then, let's crush Gao Qiu completely

and change their mind

Brother Song

naval warfare is the key to our success

The vast waters around Mount Liang

are where Gao Qiu and his army will die

I suggest getting some of our brothers

to raid Jizhou

We should defeat some of their commanders

before they can gather properly

It will improve our morale

and provoke Gao Qiu to attack us on the marsh

Then

Mount Liang's navy can show its true potential

Brother

everyone has come

Good

Let's go

Gao Qiu will personally lead an army against Mount Liang

Defeating Gao Qiu is crucial for our survival

Lin Chong, Huyan Zhuo, Hua Rong!

Lead 2,000 troops to raid Jizhou

Gao Qiu destroyed my family

Only one of us may live

This is my chance

to kill him!

Coach Lin

We are raiding Jizhou just to provoke

Withdraw after you kill some of their commanders

Do not let your feelings get the better of you

-Understood. -Understood

The Ruan brothers

After Lin Chong and the others withdraw

bring them back immediately

Understood

Everyone else, be on alert and await new orders

Yes, sir!

Lin Chong has a deep grudge against Gao Qiu

I fear that there will be trouble

Was I careless?

You can't take back your orders now

Gao

Coach Lin! Coach Lin!

Lin Chong?

Coach Lin!

Kill!

Coach Lin!

Coach Lin!

Coach Lin!

Withdraw!

Coach Lin! Remember the orders!

Withdraw!

Let's go!

Go back now!

Come, Brother Huyan. Drink!

Drink!

Lin Chong. You should be happy

You had a great victory

You've killed three generals under Gao Qiu's nose

He got a head-on blow!

Come

Let's

drink this up

Brother, that's unfair

You didn't let me join in the fun

If you let me go

I can kill some of them too

I know you're upset because you couldn't kill Gao Qiu

But he can't escape

You will kill him sooner or later

You'll have your revenge anyway!

Come

Liu Menglong, the Commander-General of Jinling Navy is in Jizhou

Gao Qiu's navy will come in less than three days

Please

General Liu

I heard of a story about your name

When my mother was about to give birth to me

Liu Menglong

she dreamt of a black dragon inside her womb

That's how I was named Menglong, meaning dreaming of dragon

Interesting

I heard that

you're skilled in the water like a dragon

You are not only good at swimming

but a master at naval warfare as well…

I heard that you had made quite a contribution

when you led our navy in Xiajiang, Xizhou

It's not worth mentioning

I'm just honored to serve the Imperial Court again

The bandits of Mount Liang had lived in the marsh for a long time

They are familiar with the terrains

General Liu, you shouldn't look down on them

Defender-in-Chief

They are just a bunch of bandits

who only know how to catch some fish

If it's naval warfare

how can they be compared

to my navy?

Good. That's what I want to hear

Defender-in-Chief

Is Jizhou's governor, Zhang Shuye here yet?

He had been waiting for you

I'm Zhang Shuye, Governor of Jizhou. Greetings

Zhang Shuye

How's the preparation?

We have prepared 1,000 vessels

Come

Let's drink for General Liu's success

We're trained for so long just for this moment

It's time for the navy of Mount Liang to shine!

Everyone!

Let Liu Menglong

have a taste of our Mount Liang's water

Yes, sir!

Cheers!

Brothers, the imperial fleet has arrived

Li Jun the River Dragon

Withdraw! Hurry!

Order the men

to move faster!

Yes, sir!

What's the matter?

Your Excellency

There are too many paths. We don't know where to go

Split up and gather later

Charge!

Charge!

Fire the arrows!

Fall back! Fall back!

Fire the arrows!

Where are they?

Fire! Fire!

Continue to fire your arrows!

Fire them into the water!

Commander Liu, we're trapped! What should we do?

What should we do?

Don't panic! Don't panic!

Charge!

Kill! Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Come and kill me!

Kill them!

Kill those Mount Liang bandits!

Stop!

Brother

He is the famous Naval Commander Liu Menglong

Spare him

Send him back to Gao Qiu

Brother

Give him a small boat

General Liu, you may leave now

What are you looking at?

Go!

Go!

Hurry up and go!

Get away!

Your Excellency

It's done

Stop

General Liu

Defender-in-Chief

General Liu

To be honest, I don't want to kill you

Defender-in-Chief

But your soldiers are now sleeping with the fishes

Why should I keep a useless general like you?

Defender-in-Chief

Well…

Send him off

Military Commissioners. Do you have a solution?

Defender-in-Chief

Mount Liang is surrounded by water

It's a natural fortress

We need to win their navy first

General Liu lost

not only because of his foolishness

but also because the boats used

are not real military vessels

In my opinion

we should order some shipbuilders

to build a hundred Giant Paddle-wheeler vessels

and attack Mount Liang from the north

We will be able to finish them off

and capture Song Jiang

Defender-in-Chief

General Han has a point

If we can defeat their navy…

It's not an exaggeration

but my hundreds of thousands of troops

and horses

can raze Mount Liang to the ground easily

Governor Zhang

Here. Defender-in-chief

Help General Yang Wen build military vessels immediately

Yes, sir

Meanwhile, train the rest of the army in naval warfare

Once the boats are completed

we will destroy the bandits of Mount Liang once and for all

Yes, sir

Yes, sir

Anyone who dares to disobey

will be executed

Move faster!

Yes sir! Move faster!

Brothers

Gao Qiu is leading a hundred military vessels

to Mount Liang

This is our final battle

I'm counting on you

Let's drink this bowl of wine!

And win this war!

Cheers!

Cheers!

Cheers!

I don't know how to swim

so I can't fight alongside you

But

I'm willing to brave the cold with you

until you come back!

Brother

Brother

Keep your coat on

Don't worry about it, brother

We will bury them in the marsh!

Trust me!

Brothers!

Arm yourselves!

Move out!

Brother!

The navy is having all the fun

When will our turn come?

Stop messing around

Go and protect the fort

Protect the fort again

What's the pointing of defending the fort

when Gao Qiu isn't going to land?

Brother

Give me a boat

I want to crush them!

He can't swim!

Hurry and pull him out!

Li Kui!

Come

Brother

They are not part of the navy

Why aren't they protecting the fort?

Why do you ask me to do it instead?

Shut up!

I've saved you and this is how you repay me?

I should have let you drown a bit longer

In the end, you still need us to save you

Hurry! Prepare now!

Hurry!

There's a sound

What's that sound?

I don't know

What's the matter?

What's happening?

Check it! Quick!

Someone is in the water!

Someone is in the water!

Someone is in the water!

Commander, someone is in the water!

Where?

Someone is in the water!

Commander, what's that floating up?

There's some here, too!

Someone is in the water!

Go and capture them!

Someone is in the water!

Hurry and go!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Hurry!

It's leaking!

Hurry! Bring the paddings!

Hurry!

We're sinking!

Hurry!

Block it!

We're sinking!

We're sinking!

Defender-in-Chief! The boat is sinking!

Send more people into the water! Hurry!

Hurry!

Block it!

Get more paddings!

Hurry!

It's no use, brothers!

Hurry and escape!

Escape!

Run!

Jump!

Come back!

Don't jump!

Come back!

Come back!

Don't run away!

Defender-in-Chief

The boat is sinking. We have to jump ship

No!

Come back!

I'm escaping if you don't

Come back!

I will go by myself

Come back!

See you!

The heroes made a great mountain together

The great mountain is surrounded by great water

They fight when they were called by the times

Their voices echo between Heaven and Earth

Their voices echo between Heaven and Earth

What's up?

Come and drink some water

Thousands of years have passed since the heroes died

Their legacy is still in the mountains and waters

A new chapter of history has been written

Justice has been defended by these great heroes!

Justice has been defended by these great heroes!

Brothers

We're here!

It's time to celebrate!

Let's go and drink!

Hurry!

Come!

The navy has brought great honor to Mount Liang

Let me tell you this

You've captured Gao Qiu alive

so Brother Song will reward you!

Let's celebrate!

Come and drink!

Brother Ruan, come and drink

When can we kill Gao Qiu?

You have to ask Brother Song about that

Drink first

We will kill him when it's time

Li Kui! Come and have a drink!

You can still drink even if you made no contribution

Yeah

Jizhou Prefecture

Li Kui, come and have a drink

Brother Li, come! We have enough meat and drink!

When will you treat us?

Coach Lin!

Good news!

What is it?

We've captured Gao Qiu!

He's on his way here!

Take me there

Lin Chong, I can show you the way

but don't tell anyone I told you about it

Sure

Of course

Brother!

Brother!

I've brought Gao Qiu

Brother

Brother

Defender-in-Chief Gao, my apology

Please come

You should go and have a rest

Yes, sir

Open the gate!

Who's that?

I'm Lin Chong

Leader Song had told us

not to let anyone in

Why?

We will kill anyone who disobeys the order

In this vast world

Runs the spirit of our nation, long inherited through the ages

By the old imperial walls and on the streets and alleys

Who's telling stories of heroes over and over again?

Riding up hill and down dale

Heroes risk their lives for justice and righteousness

Ups and downs, twists and turns

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

Ups and downs, twists and turns

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

Riding up hill and down dale

Heroes risk their lives for justice and righteousness

Ups and downs, twists and turns

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

Striving for the right time, right place and right people

The imperial amnesty is a major issue! You shouldn't delay it

Next on Water Margin

You should let me go

This illness is not from the body but the heart

Episode 38 Imperial Amnesty

Long live his Majesty!
