-=The morning fog clears from the fields around Quni. Even though the people had heard the rumors, been told of the atrocities committed in other parts of the province; surely such violence couldn't reach them behind the city walls.
They were wrong.
Thousands of men and women in blood colored masks were massing just beyond range of any defenders on the walls. The rolling plains around the city walls bristled with spears. No flags were flown in the midst of the massed forces, no lord's insignia was present in the irregular troops. Only savage and hungry expressions identified the various troops as rabid wolves come to feast.
Some distance away, settled into the high grasses, the leaders of the marauders sit in council. The ring leader, Kai, paces back and forth. With his knives already in hand, he impatiently glares at his fellows=- "I don't know why we're still talking. We all know what we're doing.. now get off your asses and go do it.
"They already fear our presence. Shan, Shihong.. make those fears a reality. And you.. 'Lordling'.. do whatever it is you do. I have my own plans.. now go. Make them bleed..." -=Kai says as he turns and stalks away, vanishing into the grasses.=-

Tianshi watches the short half-breed wave his stupidity around for all to see. It was almost enough for him to take his forces and leave, but still.... Staying was far, far more profitable then leaving, and his troops knew that. Still, that mongrel idiot better watch his mouth, or better yet, perhaps he shouldn't. This 'lordling' was going to win this battle despite their inability to organize properly. Did these fools think they could actually take this city on their own? Half their forces couldn't even show up to fight, let alone fight well. Turning, he glared behind the mask after the 'Demon of Changshan' before turningt back to the massed army at his command. Keeping his words low, he gave his orders to the more capable bandits and sent them on their way. Tianshi was about to head forward himself, when he suddenly had an idea. Turning to the scarred sergeant nearby, Tianshi beckoned him forward, and lowered his voice further.
Tie Yi Tianshi "Chin, spread the word to my forces. I want them spread out evenly along the front with this rabble. I need some measure of discipline I can call on, and I doubt I could get that from this bunch. Also, keep an eye out for Kai. If the situation should present itself...show him why Zhao called you Chop-Chop Chin."

Jun Shan watched in silence as Kai and other commander squabbled like fools, he could almost smell the hatred the one who was called "Lordling" had for Kai. Shan turned on his heel tightly and mounted his horse deftly assuming his position in the lines.
Though his men were spread throughout the mass of bandits he could still pick out every one of them. Where Kai's men shuffled anxiously in anticipation of the slaughter to come, his men stood stock still waiting for the order to move.
The battle of Quni, also known to local residents as the battle of bandits, began close to the walls of the city itself. The local governor, a former bandit who legitimized himself merely by his deposing of the former governor through force of arms had evidently not expected the Red Masks to attack him and as such did not draw up his forces until the enemy was within sight of the city.
When the morning fog had cleared both sides readied themselves, the governor of Quni having used the fog to draw his large garrison from the city walls and onto the field before the city. Bā Kàng marched to the front of his army and sneered at the enemy. In response Jun Shan rode his dappled horse forward and swung his Halberd over his head, his glare focused on Bā Kàng. But the governor was not fazed. He ordered his men into position with a bellow. Yet his troops hesitated as they saw the near equal and well armed foes they fought.
Among the Red Mask's there was also some hesitation, as conflict among the leadership caused some internal strife among the bandits. They clearly did not trust one another and the men did not fight well together. Different groups separated themselves from one another as they formed up, weakening their position.
After sharpening his knives Zang Kai led his men on a daring strike against the supplies of the enemy, but the walls of Quni itself proved to be too formidable an obstacle. As he neared the supplies, the gates were closed and he was forced to fight his way back out from behind enemy lines. The leader of the Quni support column, Ke Tuying and his Geng Xiao closed around Zang Kai and his men, forcing them into a bloody fight for their lives. Even once Zang Kai and his men broke out and into the open field, the mocking insults of their enemies hit them hard, as did the many casualties and captured men they left behind.
The majority of the front line fighting was wholly uninspired and while the Quni garrison lost more men in the exchange, they had more to lose. Ultimately their damage against Zang Kai was enough to buoy their spirits for one last push, which forced the Red Masks to fall back to the more defensible hills beyond the Eastern road.
The Red Masks did not wait for a second day before launching there second attack, instead striking at twilight, seeking to catch the governor's forces unprepared. In this they were highly capable and much blood was shed on the field. Jun Shan still was unable to face the hardened Bā Kàng, but undetered he joined Tie Yi Tianshi and Zhao Shihong in a furious melee with the Quni forces. Hurling javelins and striking out with her spear, few in the Quni garrison wished to engage with the band of killers that Zhao Shihong, the tiny dragon, led. By nightfall, the tide had turned and the Quni garrison's main force no longer held the numerical advantage and were pushed back before the walls of the city.
Yet not all the defenders tasted defeat that evening, for as the front lines engaged one another in close quarter combat, Ke Tuying and his men managed to overrun Zang Kai's weakened band. Killing, capturing, or scattering the few hundred bandits still under his command. Though Zang Kai was not captured, the Red Mask's supplies were now open to future depredations.
Heavy rains came in the night and prevented further conflict between the two forces for the next day. The rains did not stop till the following morning and the warriors both sides were quite miserable. They were tired, wet, and frustrated. The road had turned to mud and the air was heavy with mosquitoes.
Tie Yi Tianshi, despite his personal dislike for Zang Kai, decided to send some men to him to aid him in his escape from the enemy. It would not due to have Zang Kai captured at this stage. Elsewhere on the battlefield, many of the officers on both sides decided to stay within their tents and let their men fight the battle as per their basic orders. Most, but not all, once more the tiny dragon rushed into the front lines to engage the enemy. Though exhausted, her spear flew around her in a vicious killing circle, and the enemy began to retreat. It was not until she was nearing the walls of Quni itself that she realized her mistake. Without Zang Kai's forces present to prevent it, Geng Xiao led the support column of Quni around her forces rear, cutting her off from the rest of the army. She and her band tried to fight them off, but a spear from the enemy took her in the shoulder and knocked her from her horse Liko. The enemy swarmed around her and took her captive.
By the day's end, the tide had turned once more. The Red Mask bandit's had lost their edge in numbers, Zang Kai was devoid of men to command, their supplies were damaged by rain, insect and minor enemy forays against them, and one of their fearsome officers was now captured.

Liu Bang then asked Han Xin, who had served under Xiang Yu but was driven out, "what is Xiang Yu's weakness? Is there a way to defeat him?" Han Xin calmly replied, "No, Xiang Yu himself is invincible, he is destined to be king."
Seeing the way the battle was going, the assorted bandits of the Red Mask's decided that taking on a city was far more difficult then sacking small villages and towns. Seeking to cut their losses, the Red Mask's ordered a full retreat. The soldiers of Quni were keen to take additional prisoners and chased after the retreating bandits. Tie Yi Tianshi easily escaped, but Zai Kang and Jun Shan had more difficulty. It seemed as if Bā Kàng's men would overtake them, but at the last moment Jun Shan spurred his mount and reached out a hand to Zang Kai, allowing both men to escape from the clutches of the Quni garrison.
The Red Mask's have fled from the battlefield and escaped. The Quni garrison had defended the city.

A few hours later the walls of Quni displayed the broken body of the female bandit Zhao Shihong. She hung from her neck and arms and it appeared that she had been trampled to death. Whereas the Red Mask's had not shown mercy to their victims, the defenders of Quni did not show mercy to their prisoner.
Zhao Shihong has been executed.
