Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Is there anyone else?"

When the rain of arrows stopped falling from the sky, the captain guarding the city immediately raised his shield and shouted at the entire city wall.

"Those who are alive, speak up!"

What came into the captain's view was the corpses of his brothers lying haphazardly all over the city wall.

Many people were hit by more than one arrow, and their eyes remained wide open until they died.

This scene tore his heart apart and made his eyes widen in horror!

"Zhang San is alive!"

"Li Si is still here!"

……

But before he could say anything more, the brothers who were still alive on the city wall also came out from under their shields!

Upon emerging and witnessing the devastation across the city, flames ignited in everyone's eyes!

"Count the number of people! Collect all the bodies of our brothers!"

The city's commander suppressed his grief and took the lead in signaling everyone to count the number of people.

It would have been better if they hadn't taken a headcount. After taking a headcount, everyone discovered that the volley of arrows had taken the lives of more than eighty brothers, and another one hundred and twenty or thirty brothers were wounded!

In this battle, more than a third of the 500 men in the city were killed or wounded!

Such battle losses are extremely rare in the history of the Crossing-the-Ethnic Army!

"The enemy didn't even get close! It was just three volleys of arrows! And we've suffered so many casualties! Tell me! Is this fair or not!"

The chief was heartbroken!

"Why did someone disobey orders and recklessly get up just now?!"

"Do you think that our Dayi is invincible, that we're impervious to your swords and spears?!"

No one spoke on the entire city wall except for the voice of the captain, which was filled with complex emotions such as self-blame, heartache, and regret.

"Look over there! Those people! Those are the people who hurt so many of our brothers! What are we going to do? What do you think we should do?!"

The city's commander pointed to the hillside. The Jurchen cavalry had only just withdrawn, and there seemed to be traces of them still on the hillside!

"Revenge! Revenge!"

The anger in everyone's hearts was aroused, and they raised their weapons and shouted for revenge!

"Boom, boom..."

Just as the men and horses on the city wall were shouting slogans, the sound of a large army moving could be heard from afar.

Everyone turned to look and saw a group of several thousand people, led by a general who looked very heroic, making their way through the thick dust and towards the city wall.

"Those are reinforcements!"

"Yes, that's the deputy commander!"

When everyone saw the reinforcements arriving, they cheered!

This reinforcement was personally led by Shi Xiu, the deputy commander of the Du'e Army!

Shi Xiu had planned to inspect the border today, but he didn't expect to suddenly see smoke signals and signal flares on the way, which made his heart jump!

The simultaneous firing of smoke signals and flares indicates that something major has happened at the border!

Shi Xiu dared not delay and quickly led his team to charge over!

"Are there still my brothers from the Crossing-the-Earth Army on the city walls?"

Shi Xiu was the first to rush to the city wall. He saw some arrows scattered on the ground, which, judging from their direction, must have been shot in from outside!

"Deputy Commander! The Fourth Regiment, Third Battalion, and Second Company have not lost any city!"

The head constable guarding the city suppressed his emotions and poked his head out to speak.

Shi Xiu reined in his horse, his brow furrowed. The captain's tone of voice held boundless sorrow.

Shi Xiu immediately dismounted and ran towards the city wall in three steps at a time!

Upon arriving in the city, Shi Xiu was stunned!

What's happening here?

"what happened?"

Shi Xiu had never seen such an outcome in all the years since the establishment of the Crossing-the-Earth Army!

"Deputy Commander, the Jurchens have launched a surprise attack on the city. They have about two or three thousand cavalry, firing three volleys of projectiles. We...we..."

The city's garrison commander reported the events to Shi Xiu, filled with deep regret. The battle had turned out this way, and they hadn't even managed to retaliate against the Jurchens. He never wanted to fight such a humiliating battle again in his life!

"Panic! Panic!"

Shi Xiu was also helpless. He did not expect the Jurchens to be so cunning. They took advantage of the city's small size and used their speed to bully people, and then ran away after they finished fighting!

Shi Xiu couldn't stand this kind of anger!

"Men! Leave one commander behind to help defend the city! The rest of you, come with me to pursue them!"

Shi Xiu led five or six thousand men this time, and he was prepared to personally lead the pursuit!

You think you can just run away after hitting someone from my Dayi? No way!

Where did they go?

"That direction!"

The constable first pointed Shi Xiu in a direction, then said to Shi Xiu:

"Deputy Commander! I want to go too! I want to avenge my brothers!"

"Revenge? You should be with your brothers right now!"

Shi Xiu refused, saying that the soldiers of this city had fought so badly in this battle and should actually be punished.

"Deputy Commander! Please let me go!"

The captain took off his helmet and knelt down on one knee in front of Shi Xiu!

"Those Jurchens just now rained arrows on my brothers, but I could only hide under my shield and watch them die and be wounded, powerless to do anything about it!"

"Deputy Commander! Even if I lose my position as captain, I will personally catch up with those Jurchens!"

"...Get up! Don't kneel!"

Shi Xiu pulled the constable up.

"If you come with me and something happens, what will happen to your brothers? What will happen to your family?"

"Deputy Commander! I am a member of the Arc! Brothers, you followed me here. When something like this happens, as the captain, I have no choice but to take responsibility!"

"As for us, even if I'm gone, there's still the deputy captain! We won't disband!"

"Okay! But you have to stick close to me!"

Seeing the intense fighting spirit in the man's eyes, Shi Xiu thought for a moment and then agreed.

However, he had one condition: this guy had to stay by his side!

"Brothers! The Jurchens came here without a word and ran wild, injuring so many of our brothers before running away! Can you tolerate this?!"

Shi Xiu walked directly to the edge of the city wall and shouted loudly at the people below.

"Can't! Can't! Can't!"

"Fine! They think they can run away after they've finished fighting! Tell me, can they even run?!"

"Can't! Can't! Can't!"

"it is good!"

As Shi Xiu spoke, he leaped down from the low wall of the city and landed steadily on his warhorse!

"We are the Du'e Army! These are all former heroes of Liangshan! Now our brothers have been injured, what should the heroes do?!"

"Kill them back! Kill them back!"

"Excellent! All soldiers of the Crossing-the-Earth Army! Charge with me!"

After Shi Xiu finished speaking, he took the lead and chased after the Jurchens in the direction they had retreated!

Behind him, the cavalry and infantry of the Du'e Army shouted loudly and followed closely!

The Jurchens want to run away? Where do they think they can run to!

……

"Your Highness, are we not going back?"

On the other side, Wanyan Zhe, who had achieved a very good result, did not lead his troops back immediately. Instead, after traveling for a while, he signaled for the entire army to dismount and rest.

"Go back? No, I'm not going back."

Wanyan Zhe had other plans in mind.

Since the defenses of Yi Kingdom are so poor, he plans to harass their defenses using guerrilla tactics for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, his three thousand elite cavalry are as swift as the wind, and even if the Yi Kingdom wants to retaliate, he is confident that he can escape!

Moreover, Wanyan Zhe is very skilled at this tactic of firing arrows while moving!

If Yiguo pursues them, however many men they send, he will kill them all!
