Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Open the city gate!"

The cavalry stationed in Zhongjing assembled very quickly.

The person in charge of leading them was the bodyguard Xiao Zhonggong.

In fact, Xiao Zhonggong was originally a confidant of Yelü Yanxi. His father was Xiao Temo, the Grand Chancellor of the Liao Dynasty, and his mother was Princess Yue, the third daughter of Emperor Daozong of Liao. In a sense, he was a member of the imperial family.

Moreover, he and Yelü Yanxi had played together since childhood, and he could be said to be one of Yelü Yanxi's best playmates. After growing up, he was brave enough to fight ten thousand men and had good political skills. He often shared Yelü Yanxi's worries.

This time, Yelü Yanxi was forced to abdicate, and Xiao Zhonggong was actually somewhat dissatisfied. However, when he learned that Yelü Chun had taken the throne, he could no longer remain dissatisfied.

Because Yelü Chun was his maternal uncle by seniority...

If he didn't serve his uncle, it wouldn't be right with his mother.

"Taibao, the enemy's firearms are very powerful. Charging might be dangerous for us. Otherwise, you..."

Xiao Zhonggong's confidants listened to the continuous sounds outside the city, their expressions filled with worry.

"It's just firearms, we've seen them before, what's there to be afraid of?"

Hsiao Chung-kung said, "What's so scary about that?"

"The enemy is almost at the gates of Zhongjing City. As the Grand Protector, do you think it's appropriate for me not to fight at this time?"

Xiao Zhonggong ignored his confidant's advice, checked his preparations again, picked up his spear, and signaled to open the door!

When the soldiers guarding the city saw that their cavalry were ready, they immediately removed the bolts and opened the city gate!

As soon as the gate opened, the smell of gunpowder rushed into the city. Through the smoke and dust, Xiao Zhonggong could see the situation outside: piles of rubble and debris, and some large stone projectiles had smashed the originally flat road into a series of potholes.

"kill!!"

But Xiao Zhonggong didn't think too much about it. As soon as the city gate opened, he took the lead and rode his warhorse out!

"Heavy gunners! Fire!"

Ling Zhen positioned ten heavy cannons at the city gate, and when he saw the gate open, all ten cannons fired simultaneously!

"Oh!"

The heavy artillery was indeed not very accurate, but just as Xiao Zhonggong left the city gate, a cannonball hit the city wall above the gate!

Shrapnel and fragments of the city wall flew everywhere, and one of them flew right at Xiao Zhonggong's head!

"clang!"

Although Xiao Zhonggong lowered his head in time, he still took a hard hit on the forehead with a piece of rock! Otherwise, with his helmet protecting him, Xiao Zhonggong would have become a battlefield joke, dying unexpectedly before even officially going into battle.

"WTF?"

Although Xiao Zhonggong saw stars, he managed to avoid falling thanks to his riding skills. However, he was also a little confused, wondering what had hit him on the head.

Of course, the current situation didn't give him much time to think. The cavalry behind him were also speeding up, and Xiao Zhonggong, as the leader, absolutely couldn't stop at this moment.

"Brothers, charge with me!"

Although the ground outside the city was somewhat uneven, it was no problem for the Liao cavalry. Xiao Zhonggong, alone with his spear, became the cavalry's arrowhead, charging at the forefront!

"fire!"

Seeing how fierce the cavalry general who was the first to charge out was, Ling Zhen didn't hold back either, and bombarded Xiao Zhonggong with ten cannons!

With his superb horsemanship and his steed, Xiao Zhonggong dodged the cannonballs in time. The cannonballs flew past him and exploded, injuring many people.

The luckiest shell landed right in the center of the cavalry formation and exploded, dealing a heavy blow to the morale of the Liao people!

"They couldn't stop them?"

Ling Zhen was quite surprised. It seemed that the accuracy of his heavy artillery still needed to be improved. However, after carefully examining the formation of the charging cavalry, Ling Zhen felt relieved.

"Although we couldn't stop them, the enemy cavalry formation is already in trouble. Brothers, we're not afraid of cavalry in this formation!"

Yes, Xiao Zhonggong finally led his troops out of the artillery range, but what awaited him was not the infantry of Dayi, but a cavalry force that was among the top in Dayi's cavalry!

The leading general, seeing Xiao Zhonggong charging towards him, signaled his deputy to lead his men to flank him from both sides!

He himself, wielding his spear, charged toward Xiao Zhonggong!

"Draw the bow! Release the arrow!"

That's right, the one facing Xiao Zhonggong was Hua Rong's Fifth Army of the Dayi Cavalry!

And their favorite tactic is kite warfare!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The archers in Hua Rong's army have improved dramatically in recent years thanks to their training. This volley of arrows during their raid caused the Liao people to suffer heavy losses!

The main point is that the Liao people's characteristic was to launch surprise attacks with arrows, and they really didn't expect that one day the Song people would use this tactic first in their battle.

Therefore, many people even thought it was just for show and a bluff, so they didn't take any precautions. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late!

"Thump, thump..."

This volley of arrows caused at least a hundred Liao cavalrymen to fall from their horses, further loosening the already somewhat scattered formation caused by the artillery bombardment.

"Fight back! Fight back!"

The Liao people would not tolerate such humiliation and immediately organized a counterattack!

However, Hua Rong's troops did not engage in prolonged combat with them, but maintained their distance and used bows and arrows for guerrilla warfare while moving at high speed.

Even though more soldiers were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, they still had the upper hand in the overall battle!

This made the Liao people feel like they were punching cotton. They had always been the ones fighting the Zhao Song in this way before, but they never expected that one day they would be beaten by the Song people in this way!

"In that case, taking you down should change the situation!"

Seeing that his team had not gained an advantage, Xiao Zhonggong, confident in his strength, set his sights on Hua Rong!

In his opinion, with his strength and courage, taking down Hua Rong would be no problem at all!

"boom!"

However, after the fight began, Xiao Zhonggong discovered that things were not so simple. The incredibly handsome general in front of him actually wielded a rather heavy silver spear!

He thought this guy was all show and no substance!

Hua Rong also tested the man's abilities and found him to be quite capable, at least no worse than Qin Ming and his brother. However, as Ren Yuan's brother-in-law, it was really unreasonable that his Fifth Cavalry Army had not yet been given a banner!

We'll use this Liao man's head to change the banner of our Fifth Army!

After fighting for more than thirty rounds, Hua Rong made up his mind, pushed aside the Liao man's spear, and turned to leave!

Xiao Zhonggong was unwilling to let him go! In his view, this was a sign that Hua Rong was afraid to fight!

"The thief will leave!"

Xiao Zhonggong spurred his horse forward, determined to capture Hua Rong alive!

"You're the one I've been waiting for!"

Hua Rong grabbed his silver spear, drew his bow and arrow, and turned to fire an arrow!

"clang!"

However, Xiao Zhonggong, as one of the Liao generals, was also skilled in archery and horsemanship. He actually deflected Hua Rong's arrow with his spear!

Then, he began to mock Hua Rong's retreating figure:

"You treacherous general! How dare you shoot an arrow at me! Don't you know I'm a skilled archer too? Take this arrow!"

Oh?

The Condor Heroes?

Hua Rong, who was running ahead, couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

I hope you, the Condor Hero, can give me some serious fun...
