Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Tong Guan! Get out here right now!"

"You treacherous scoundrel Tong Guan! Give me back my fourth brother's life!"

"Child thief! Eunuch thief! Get out here right now!"

……

Yelü Sanjiang, enraged, arrived at the gate of Tong Guan's army and began shouting insults incessantly.

But no matter how much they cursed, Tong Guan kept the door tightly shut and refused to come out!

"Brother! What do we do? He won't go into battle!"

Yelü Zonglei shouted at Yelü Zongyun.

"If he won't come out, then we'll fight until he does!"

Before Yelü Zongyun could say anything, Yelü Zongdian spoke up directly.

Moreover, after he finished speaking, he charged out without waiting for Yelü Zongyun's reply.

"Second Brother! Wait for me!"

Upon seeing this, Yelü Zonglei also charged out!

"Listen up, everyone! Follow the Second General and the Third General, and charge!"

Yelü Zongyun did not charge. He believed that with the abilities of his second and third brothers, they would definitely be able to break through Tong Guan's camp!

……

"My lord, the Liao people are attacking our camp like madmen. The camp is in grave danger and may not be able to hold out!"

In Tong Guan's camp, several generals, their faces covered in sweat and blood, rushed into Tong Guan's main tent to report.

"Can't hold on? We've only been fighting for a short while, and you're already telling me you can't hold on?"

Tong Guan slammed his fist on the table, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"What did General Ma say before he left? He told us to at least hold out until tomorrow. What did you all agree to then? You all patted your chests and said it was no problem!"

"And now? They've only been attacking for a short while, and you're already saying you can't hold on? Are you even capable? If not, then get down here and let the capable ones take over!"

Tong Guan's tirade made the generals look ashamed, but they were also helpless, as the Liao people's attack was indeed too fierce today.

"My lord, the Liao people are so fierce today because they want revenge for their fourth general. In particular, many of them are shouting to take back their fourth general's body. Why don't we return the body to them and let them shut up for a while?"

"Anyway, as long as they retreat temporarily, we'll have more time to prepare defensive fortifications..."

Someone suddenly suggested that Yelü Zonglin's body be returned to the Liao army so that they would withdraw their troops.

"Return it? Why return it?"

Tong Guan's eyes widened, and his nostrils seemed to flare out as well.

"How many generals have we lost in all these years of fighting the Liao people? How many brave young men have perished on Liao territory! Since Yelü Zonglin's body is here with us, it is impossible for us to return it!"

"Besides, what right do you have to talk about returning the body? Did you kill him? This is General Ma's spoils of war. With General Ma gone, I have no right to dispose of this body!"

"You guys are something else! Instead of thinking about how to kill the enemy, you're trying to buy time by sending corpses? What's the difference between that and sending tribute!"

The generals were so scolded that they dared not raise their heads. In fact, they were not afraid. They had just won a battle and were looking forward to relaxing. Instead, they were met with an even more intense attack from the enemy. How could they not break down?

"Useless thing, come with me!"

Tong Guan picked up his sword again and started putting on his armor as he walked out.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"I will personally go and oversee the battle!"

"Sir, wait..."

……

At the entrance of the camp.

"Dig! Dig!"

Yelü Zongdian personally led men to destroy the threshold of the camp. After hacking and chiseling for a while, he even set fire to the camp, intending to burn a gap in it.

Although the soldiers in Tong Guan's camp fought bravely to repel the enemy, close-quarters combat was not their forte due to a shortage of supplies. Moreover, after the enemy set fires, it was difficult for them to get close to the enemy.

"Boom!"

This situation continued for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, everyone heard a loud "boom," and the watchtower on the front wall of the military camp collapsed! A gap appeared in the previously intact camp wall!

"Follow this opening! Charge in!"

When Yelü Zongdian saw that there was a gap in the camp, he finally had a chance to vent the anger he had been holding back!

Without saying a word, he took the lead, leaped over the wall of fire, and charged into Tong Guan's army, brandishing his sword!

"kill!!"

When Yelü Zongdian wielded his broadsword, it was incredibly powerful. Although Tong Guan's army had a large number of men, none of them could withstand two or three blows from his blade. They watched as he slaughtered indiscriminately as if he were in an empty field!

Behind him, more and more Liao cavalrymen jumped over the fire wall and rushed into the front camp through the gap.

And by sheer coincidence, just as Yelü Zong was charging over, Tong Guan happened to arrive near the front camp of the military camp, and their eyes met for a split second! What a twist of fate!

"Tong Guan! Give me back my brother's life!"

Yelü Zongdian had seen Tong Guan in previous battles, and his armor was particularly conspicuous!

"Liaoning dog! You really think you're invincible?"

When Tong Guan saw Yelü Zongdian slaughtering his soldiers indiscriminately, he was enraged. He led three or four commanders and they attacked Yelü Zongdian from both sides!

If you can't beat them one-on-one, surely you can't beat them if you all come at me together?

Yelü Zongdian was filled with a desire for revenge. When he saw Tong Guan and several others attacking together, he didn't say much. He brandished his broadsword and fought against many opponents without being at a disadvantage!

"Tong Guan! Where is my fourth brother's body?!"

Yelü Zongdian became increasingly engrossed in the fighting, and even started asking questions while attacking!

"You want your brother's body? Don't go through all that trouble, why don't you go down and join him?"

Although Tong Guan was the one being suppressed on the field, he had more people and was not intimidated. He was not willing to admit defeat in words or actions!

"Tong Guan, you go down and serve my brother like a slave!"

Yelü Zongdian, mocked, gripped the weapon even tighter, causing the other commanders who were with Tong Guan to secretly groan in despair.

Lord Tong, please stop talking! If you keep going, I really can't take it anymore!

"Hmph, if my subordinates Feng Mei and Bi Sheng weren't away, how could this kid be so arrogant!"

Tong Guan certainly felt the pressure, but he couldn't back down now. The gap in the camp wasn't large, and with so many men in his army, it wasn't impossible to drive the Liao people out again!

……

Yelü Zongyun was outside supporting his two younger brothers when he saw that the main gate of Tong Guan's camp was on fire. He immediately ordered his soldiers to go forward and support his two younger brothers.

"Charge! The Second and Third Generals are about to breach the enemy's stronghold! Now is the perfect opportunity to annihilate them!"

"But General, what if the enemy launches a surprise attack from another direction if we go in?"

"I asked one of my men."

"Enemies? What enemies?"

Yelü Zongyun expressed his disdain. Behind him was Nanjing, and further north was Zhongjing. The emperor and his father were there. With them in charge, the Jurchens would definitely not be able to conquer it. So how could there be any enemies?

"Report! General! An unidentified cavalry force is approaching from the north! They are rapidly closing in! Their intentions are hostile!"

But as soon as Yelü Zongyun finished speaking, a scout from the rear guard rushed over to report the situation.

"What? From the north?"

Yelü Zongyun's brows furrowed into a tight knot!

How could there possibly be enemies to the north?

Could it be... that something happened in Zhongjing?

Did the Jurchens move south?

"Leave two troop units of 10,000 cavalry here to support the Second and Third Generals at any time. The rest of you, come with me to take a look!"

Yelü Zongyun immediately turned around and rushed back towards his own rear guard. He wanted to see just who these Jurchens were!

P.S.: The new semester is so busy with work. There are so many classes, lesson plans, lesson preparation, research papers, and so on. Being a junior teacher is quite tiring, so I can only update once a day for now.
