Battle of Qingfeng Fort
Liu Gao seeks help from governor Murong Yanda of Qingzhou, who sends the general Huang Xin to lead an army to Qingfeng Fort. Huang Xin tricks Hua Rong into an ambush and Hua is captured along with Song Jiang. Huang Xin is assigned to escort the captives back to Qingzhou. Along the way, the outlaws led by Yan Shun from Mount Qingfeng attack the convoy and succeed in rescuing the captives. Hua Rong joins the outlaws as they battle enemy reinforcements led by Qin Ming. Qin Ming decides to join the outlaws after his return route is sealed when they attack Qingzhou in disguise as his men. Murong Yanda has Qin Ming's entire family killed when he learns of Qin's apparent defection. Qin Ming is left deeply embattled for some time as he is still sore about being compelled to join the outlaws and also due to the loss of his family. Later, with Song Jiang as the matchmaker, Qin Ming marries Hua Rong's younger sister.

Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or fort:
“In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
