Campaigns and Death
In the battle of Dongchang Prefecture, Liu Tang fights with "Featherless Arrow" Zhang Qing and is defeated. Zhang Qing stuns Liu Tang with his "flying stones" technique and Liu falls off his horse and is captured. Liu Tang is rescued after the outlaws defeat Zhang Qing and break into Dongchang Prefecture.
Liu Tang becomes one of the infantry leaders of Liangshan after the Grand Assembly. He follows the heroes on their campaigns against the Liao invaders and rebel forces after they have been granted amnesty by the emperor. During the Fang La campaign, Liu Tang is assigned to attack the enemy city of Hangzhou. He sees that the gates are wide open and charges in, eager to win the top credit for the victory. He is unaware that it is a trap and is crushed to death by a falling beam. He is posthumously granted the title of "Martial Gentleman of Loyalty" (忠武郎) by the emperor in recognition of his contributions.

Famous quotes containing the words campaigns and/or death:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
“If thee thy brittle beauty so deceives,
Know then the thing that swells thee is thy bane;
For the same beauty doth, in bloody leaves.
The sentence of thy early death contain.”
—Sir Richard Fanshawe (1608–1666)
