Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Yelü Zonglin was killed by Ma Ling's gold brick, which greatly encouraged Tong Guan's army. After seeing Ma Ling single-handedly repel so many pursuers, Tong Guan could no longer bear it.

I've been hiding my head like a coward for so many days, but I'm not going to do it anymore today!

"The army charges out! To meet General Ma!"

"Quick! Put on your armor! I want to go too!"

Tong Guan ordered his men to put armor on him.

"Wearing armor? But Privy Councilor, your injuries are severe, why would you wear armor at this time..."

Tong Guan's confidants expressed concern about his health and were reluctant to let him participate.

"Foolish! We finally managed to kill one of their generals! If we don't fight now, when will we?"

Tong Guan was somewhat exasperated. "Why are you all feeling sorry for me now? You need to charge forward!"

"But just in case..."

"No 'what ifs'! After I die, I'll have plenty of time to rest! Time to don my armor!"

Tong Guanjun opened the camp gates, and the army, which had been holding its breath for a long time, poured out and charged towards the Liao army!

Tong Guan also put on his armor and charged out with the army!

Ma Ling dragged Yelü Zonglin's corpse up and threw it onto his warhorse! Then he jumped onto his own warhorse, alone with his halberd, looking down on everyone!

"drive!"

The Liao cavalry around them were badly injured by Ma Ling's Golden Brick Technique and were hesitant to advance. Seeing this, Ma Ling didn't delay and spurred his horse back towards Tong Guan's camp!

"Follow me, big flag!"

As Ma Ling charged, he gestured to the soldiers protecting the banner to follow him, as he was outnumbered and it was not the right time to linger in battle.

Before he could take more than a few steps, he suddenly saw the gates of Tong Guan's camp open, and a large group of fully armed men rushed out like a tidal wave!

Seeing this, Ma Ling immediately changed his strategy.

"Stop the main force for now, turn around, and charge back!"

"General Ma, why? Didn't you just say you were going back to camp?"

The soldier responsible for protecting the flag didn't understand for a moment.

"Times have changed, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Ma Ling said that Tong Guan had already led his men to attack, so he couldn't just take them back now.

"Come here! Take this body of Yelü Zonglin away."

Ma Ling handed the reins of his warhorse to one of the soldiers gathered around him, and then dismounted again, holding his halberd.

"General Ma, is that feasible? We're in the midst of chaos right now, what will you do without a horse?"

The soldiers were shocked.

"It doesn't matter!"

But Ma Ling didn't care. If he hadn't wanted to slack off earlier, he wouldn't have needed to ride a horse.

Everyone saw him leap into the air again, golden light flashing in his hands, and another Liao cavalryman was knocked off his horse. Ma Ling then landed on the man's horse and took control of it!

"Follow me and we'll fight our way back!"

After gaining control of the situation, Ma Ling turned his horse around and charged into the enemy ranks again! With the support of Tong Guan's army, their counterattack was successful this time. Without their commander, the morale of the Liao army plummeted, and they were forced to retreat and retreat back into the city.

Having achieved victory, Tong Guan's troops knew when to stop. Gone was the humiliation of being insulted a few days earlier. They hummed various songs and happily returned to their camp.

"Brother Ma! We owe you so much for today. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly! You have no idea how frustrated I've been these past few days!"

"Brother Ma! I, Lao Tong, admire you. You killed one of Yelü's four generals in a single battle. Brother Ma, not only is your intelligence ability outstanding, but your martial arts are also exceptional!"

After returning to camp, Tong Guan looked at Yelü Zonglin's body and expressed his admiration for Ma Ling very directly.

"Alright, don't flatter me too much. Yelü Sijiang's abilities are no less than mine. He died at my hands mainly because of his bad mentality and his unfamiliarity with my Golden Brick Method."

Ma Ling knew very well that any one of the four Yelü generals was as skilled as him in martial arts as he was in a short time. He could kill one of them by using the suddenness of the Golden Brick Technique, but he also felt that it would be very difficult to kill all four at the same time.

"No matter what, I, Old Tong, will listen to you!"

Tong Guan was having a great time today and didn't even notice that the wound on his chest had reopened.

"You should go down and check your injuries first. I'll head north in a bit to see where my brother and the others are."

Ma Ling gestured for Tong Guan to go down first, as he was preparing to go find Ren Yuan and the others himself.

"Don't worry, Brother Ma! I may not be good at other things, but I'm sure I can handle guarding the camp."

Tong Guan said he was fine. After venting his anger today, he felt great in every way!

"Yes, by the way, Yelü Zonglin is dead. The Liao people will definitely come for revenge. You guard the camp well. I will be back by tomorrow at the latest."

After giving his instructions, Ma Ling immediately turned and headed north, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Tong Guan breathed a sigh of relief after Ma Ling left and slumped into his seat.

"My lord, my lord, how are you?"

His trusted confidants quickly came to his aid and hurriedly removed his armor.

This act of removing his clothes caused a major problem; good heavens, Tong Guan's chest wound started bleeding again!

"I'm fine! Stop crowding around me! Didn't you hear what General Ma just said? Yelü Zonglin is dead, and the remaining three Yelü brats will definitely come for revenge. Hurry up and get all the defenses in place!"

After the armor was removed, Tong Guan belatedly realized that he was in pain and grimaced, but he still ordered his men to set up the camp's defenses.

Now, Tong Guan really listens to Ma Ling's words!

……

"What?! The fourth brother is dead?! Does Tong Guan have that kind of ability?!"

In Nanjing, upon hearing the news from the defeated army that his fourth brother had been killed, Yelü Zongyun refused to believe it was true.

Which of the four Yelü brothers wasn't incredibly brave? How could a mere Tong Guan possibly kill his own fourth brother?

"Big brother! I heard that fourth brother is in trouble! Is it true?"

Yelü Zongdian and Yelü Zonglei arrived hand in hand, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Fourth brother... is gone."

As the eldest brother, Yelü Zongyun was naturally in a terrible mood at this moment, but as the commander-in-chief, he could not afford to be in a state of panic, even if everyone else was in a state of panic.

"Big brother! What are you still doing here? Fourth brother is dead! You have to avenge him!"

After confirming the news of his third brother's death, Yelü Zonglei immediately roared at his eldest brother!

"Big brother! Let me lead my men and charge up there! Rescue our fourth brother!"

Yelü Zongdian's eyes were blazing with anger! The person was perfectly fine before going out today, but when they came back, they were gone!

Even the body didn't come back!

"If both of you go, what will happen to the city?"

Yelü Zongyun looked at his two younger brothers, trying hard to control his emotions, and asked in return:

"Who will defend the city? Who will ensure it doesn't fall? What if you go and still lose?"

"I don't care! My fourth brother is gone! His body is still in the Song army camp! I can't swallow this!"

Yelü Zonglei couldn't stand his elder brother's words and turned to leave!

"Third brother, where are you going?"

"Big brother, you're the commander-in-chief, you're overthinking things, but I'm not!"

Yelü Zonglei stopped, but he did not turn around.

"I'm going to bring the fourth brother back!"

"I am coming too!"

Yelü Zongdian glared at his elder brother and then turned to leave as well!

"Stop right there, both of you!"

Yelü Zongyun slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his expression equally furious.

"Do you really think I don't care about brotherhood? Do you really think I'm cold-blooded?!"

"I'll go with you!"

"Brother, weren't you supposed to be defending the city?"

"Defense my ass! I'm using offense as defense!"
