Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Half of you stay on guard, the other half dismount and rest! Quickly grab something to eat!"

Wanyan Zhezhe signaled for the entire army to dismount. In his opinion, his large force had already run far enough that even if the Yi Kingdom sent out pursuers, they wouldn't be able to catch up in a short time.

So he signaled his soldiers to dismount and rest, but he was cautious and did not have them all dismount, but only half of them.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Jurchens were very obedient to orders. As soon as their prince finished speaking, half of them dismounted and began distributing some prepared rations.

The other half of the group adopted a defensive posture. The Jurchens grew up on horseback, and eating and sleeping on horseback were as instinctive as drinking water.

"Your Highness, why don't you come down and rest? I can keep an eye on things. Anyway, this Yi Kingdom isn't all that great, there's no need for us to be so tense."

When the lieutenant saw that his prince was still on horseback, he had an idea. He asked the other soldiers for some dried meat and water and handed them to Wanyan Zhe.

"You'll take a look? That's fine too."

Wanyan Zhezhe was well aware of his deputy's ulterior motives; wanting to advance further was nothing to be ashamed of.

Moreover, his own deputy general is indeed quite good. He has been with him for so many years, and now that I think about it, it is indeed time to let him take on some more important responsibilities.

"Keep a close eye on the troops. Once we get back, I will petition my elder brother, the Emperor, to let you lead the army on your own."

As Wanyan Zhezhe took the dried meat and water pouch, he spoke to his deputy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The lieutenant was overjoyed upon hearing this!

After all these years, I can finally lead the army!

"Work hard, our Dajin has a bright future!"

"Understood! Your Highness, rest assured, this humble general will shed his last drop of blood for my Great Jin!"

"Report! Report!"

Just as Wanyan Zha and his deputy were chatting casually, a sentry on patrol suddenly rushed over, looking quite anxious.

"Panic! Why are you panicking? I've told you so many times, stay calm on the battlefield, you must stay calm!"

Seeing his men in such a panicked state, the lieutenant panicked as well!

I finally managed to get the prince to agree to let me lead the army on my own, and you guys let me down?

Your panicked state will make the prince think I'm incompetent!

"It's alright, let him talk slowly."

Wanyan Zhezhe gestured to his deputy general not to rush and to let the soldiers speak slowly. He was even slowly chewing the jerky in his mouth.

"Your Highness, General, there has been a violent tremor in the ground from the direction we came from, and it seems that dust is rising at the end of the road."

"Oh?"

Wanyan Zhe and his deputy were both stunned. Clearly, they both understood what this meant.

"Are pursuers coming from Yi Kingdom?"

The lieutenant was taken aback for a moment, then his face immediately lit up with joy!

Isn't this a merit of war? With the fighting strength of those defending troops just now, what can they do if they catch up?

"Your Highness, please rest. I will go and repel the invading enemy!"

"you?"

Wanyan Zhezhe glanced at his deputy.

“Even if you don’t initiate this battle, you can still lead the army when you return.”

"Your Highness, you gave me my life, so it is my duty to share your burdens!"

The deputy general's attitude was very firm.

"Alright, take a thousand men and go check it out. Remember, if there is any danger, retreat immediately."

"Understood! Your Highness, rest assured! This humble general will surely annihilate the invading enemy!"

The lieutenant was very excited. After bidding farewell to Wanyan Zhe, he immediately mounted his horse, mustered his troops, and charged back in the direction they had come from!

This charge was no small matter, because he ran right into Shi Xiu, who was also eager to avenge his brother!

After turning a corner on the mountainside, the two of them managed to spot each other from a distance on the road!

Wow, quite a few people have come!

The Jin deputy general was overjoyed. He had a thousand elite Jin cavalrymen under his command, and they had plenty of arrows in their quivers, so the deputy general was not afraid at all!

"Good heavens, they actually dared to bring people back?"

When Shi Xiu saw that the person opposite had also returned with his men, he was furious but also laughed!

Okay, okay, that's exactly what I was worried about – not being able to find anyone!

I never expected that someone would actually come to my doorstep while I was courting death!

"Kill!!"

"Rush!!"

Both sides, one filled with rage and the other with high morale, mobilized at top speed and charged towards each other.

"Die!"

Shi Xiu raised his spear. Known as the "Desperate Saburo," he had practiced spear and staff skills extensively during his travels. After joining Liangshan, under the tutelage of so many spear and staff masters, Shi Xiu's spear and staff skills continued to improve!

The spear he's holding now also has a story behind it. In order to facilitate fighting the enemy on horseback, Shi Xiu specially asked Tang Long to forge him a double-headed spear that was eighteen feet long!

The spearhead and butt have two identical spear tips! This allows for thrusting from both directions!

"Die to me!"

Facing the charging Jin deputy general, Shi Xiu held the gun in one hand and forcefully stabbed it into the man's chest!

This deputy general had been following Wanyan Zhe for many years, and obviously had a keen sense of the battlefield. At first, he thought he could outmaneuver Shi Xiu with his superb horsemanship, but when Shi Xiu thrust his spear at him, the hairs on his back stood up in that instant!

Oh no! This person is not someone you can fight head-on! Get out of the way! Otherwise, you will die!

So, at the moment when the two sides were approaching at high speed and about to make contact, the Jin deputy general clamped his legs tightly around the horse's back and his body completed a perfect backward reclining motion on the horse's back!

That's right, he lay back, his back pressed completely against the horse's back! He dodged Shi Xiu's spear tip!

Even though he dodged it so perfectly, Shi Xiu's spear still knocked off the man's headdress!

"This man is invincible, avoid him!"

The Jin deputy general was familiar with mounted combat. He knew that when warhorses clashed, as long as he didn't die in the first round of contact, he could rely on his riding skills to avoid a direct confrontation with Shi Xiu!

If we just hold on a little longer, the prince will eventually realize something is wrong and come to our aid!

So, after making way for Shi Xiu, he immediately straightened his back and stood up on the horse!

"Shut up!"

The moment Shi Xiu missed his target, he knew he had stabbed the wrong horse.

But he didn't panic. He quickly reined in his horse, causing it to rear up and regain its balance to reduce the momentum. At the same time, he loosened his grip, and the spear shaft slid forward in his hand along with the momentum, quickly reaching the butt of the spear!

After finding the spot, Shi Xiu gripped the gun barrel tightly and then flung it behind him!

The double-pointed spear in his hand thrust backward at about the same speed as when he had thrust it out earlier!

This is the advantage of double-pointed swords; you don't need to turn around at all to launch this backhand stab-like move!

Shi Xiu's spear was long and his thrust was fast. The Jin deputy general, thinking he was safe, stood up and exposed his back to the attack range of the double-pointed spear!

"puff!"

Before the Jin general's incredulous eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his back! The pain made him instinctively rein in his horse as well!

Didn't I dodge it?

How did I get stabbed?

At this moment, the head constable who had been following Shi Xiu also arrived!

When he saw the Jin deputy general who had been stabbed by Shi Xiu, the flames in his eyes burned even brighter!

He recognized this man's attire from when the Jurchen cavalry charged into the city!

Right behind their Jurchen commander at that time!

So he drew his sword and slashed at the man's neck!

"You Jin traitors! Prepare to die!"
