Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"You can't lift it?"

Duan Zhengxing and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Hu Chuntang, the commander of the Imperial Guard, shouldn't he be a person of immense strength and amazing martial arts skills? How come he can't even lift a thousand-pound gate?

That's such a misnomer!

"What do you mean? This is a thousand-pound gate! Do you even know what a thousand pounds is? It's not a hundred pounds! It's not even a few dozen pounds!"

Hu Chun saw contempt in the eyes of this group of people, which made him very uncomfortable!

You people are really going too far! Come at me if you dare!

"General Hu, we didn't mean anything by it. We just thought that with your martial arts skills, a thousand catties should be no problem for you."

Duan Zhengxing quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Hu Chun is really something. If he can't lift it, he can't lift it. Why is he so angry?"

You can't lift it, but we can't laugh at you?

"General Yu, General Qiao, you should go and help too!"

This was no time to continue mocking Hu Chun, so Duan Zhengxing gestured for Yu and Qiao to come forward and help.

The three men squatted down at the same time, trying to lift the heavy gate with their combined strength. Their faces turned red instantly, their temples throbbed, and they made all sorts of incomprehensible noises.

With the efforts of the three men, the heavy gate was indeed lifted up little by little, but it only lasted for a moment before the three men had to let go.

"How is it? Can you lift it?"

Duan Zhengxing asked the three men.

"Hmm... Your Highness, this thousand-pound gate probably weighs more than a thousand pounds!"

General Yu's fingers were already red. He felt like his hands were about to be ruined from that moment of exertion. Not only were his ten fingers in excruciating pain, but his arms were also almost completely exhausted.

"It's definitely more than a thousand catties! Otherwise, with the strength of the three of us, there's no way we wouldn't be able to lift it."

General Qiao is also a strong-type general. When he exerted his strength just now, he could clearly feel that the weight of this thousand-pound gate was definitely not small!

Hu Chun's strength is also quite good, but as for Lao Yu... Lao Yu is not a strength type. Just now, it was basically him and Hu Chun who were the main force lifting the heavy gate, and Lao Yu was just barely lending a hand.

"It's very heavy. This thousand-pound gate really weighs more than a thousand pounds; it must weigh at least several thousand pounds!"

Hu Chun's expression was very cold.

"If everyone is willing to come together and put in the effort, it might actually be possible to lift it up, but how long it can hold up after being lifted up is anyone's guess."

"Damn it! I'll do it!"

"I'm coming too!"

Hearing Hu Chun say that as long as there were enough people, they could lift the door, many people were tempted and came over to offer their help.

"Have you all thought this through? Once this is lifted up, they basically won't be able to move."

Hu Chun said, "Are you guys planning to lift the door and run away? You can't escape."

"General Hu, have you forgotten that behind this heavy gate is the city gate? If I remember correctly, the city gate has a bolt. Could that bolt be used to hold the gate open?"

Duan Zhengxing thought for a moment, "This heavy gate bolt should be able to hold the city gate in place for a while, right?"

"Yeah, it can hold out for a while."

Hu Chun thought for a moment. The bolt was indeed quite thick, but against the heavy gate, it would probably only take a few breaths for it to break.

But that's enough. As long as you're positioned far enough forward, you can get out in a few breaths!

"Then let's all work together! First, lift the heavy gate, then use the bolt and our weapons to hold the door shut, and then we'll all leave quickly! What do you all think?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengxing immediately organized everyone to help themselves.

"Who are you?"

"Exactly, why should we listen to you?"

Duan Zhengxing's words angered many people. At a time like this, how could someone still want to boss others around?

But some people do recognize Duan Zhengxing.

"We believe what Prince Duan says!"

“That’s right, I trust the Duan family’s reputation! I’ll do it!”

……

With the help of these people, eight or nine strong-looking men soon arrived at the sluice gate and squatted down to work together with Hu Chun and the other two.

"Drink!!"

"Gah, gah, gah..."

With the efforts of these people, the heavy gate was finally lifted slowly, bit by bit, by the force of the crowd!

"Quick! Quickly use your weapons to help hold them off! Help hold them off!"

Duan Zhengxing quickly directed people to help, knowing that he was definitely not strong enough to lift the door, so he wouldn't cause any trouble.

Hopefully, this time, with so many people working together, we can lift the heavy gate!

……

"Is that jack very heavy?"

At this moment, outside the city, the Zhe family army and the Dayi army were entering the city. Because of today's conference, the focus of Tokyo's city defense was mainly in front of the imperial city, and there were not many troops in the outer city.

and……

So what if they have troops? The 20,000-strong Zhe family army are no pushovers. Under Zhe Kecun's command, they quickly captured a city gate!

The soldiers defending the city were no match for them at all. Not only could they not defeat them, they could not outrun the Western Army either, and they couldn't even go back to ask for reinforcements.

Of course, although they had captured one city gate, it would still be difficult to take Tokyo in one fell swoop with the troops that came today. So Ren Yuan's idea was to show off his strength and launch a blitzkrieg.

He thinks a blitzkrieg against Tokyo is a good idea!

"Your Highness, you don't know about the thousand-pound gate?"

Zhe Kecun felt this shouldn't be the case; Dayi didn't have a jack valve?

"I've actually only seen it a few times."

Ren Yuan stated that he had indeed never seen it in real life.

“Brother, Shi Qian said that these heavy gates were specially made to prevent those people from escaping, and each one is estimated to weigh several thousand pounds.”

Hua Rong spoke to Ren Yuan as he rode his horse.

"Several thousand kilograms?"

Ren Yuan spurred his horse forward while bending his arm.

"It doesn't seem so scary after all."

"With my brother's strength, lifting the heavy gate is indeed not a difficult task."

Hua Rong said that Ren Yuan was also born with superhuman strength, so the thousand-pound gate was nothing to him.

"Haha, I'm fine. Master, would you be interested in trying to touch that heavy gate?"

Ren Yuan looked at Lu Zhishen beside him. This man who uprooted the willow tree seemed to have become even stronger after reaching the summit. Currently, in terms of pure strength on Liangshan, Master Lu can be called number one!

"Hahaha! A mere few thousand kilograms! What's that?"

Lu Zhishen laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Brother, have you forgotten how we, along with Brother Wu Song, tossed around a 500-pound stone block for fun? What's a 1,000-pound gate compared to that? If you want to play, I'll lift it for you!"

Zhe Kecun, who was standing to the side, didn't dare to say a word when he heard this.

Good heavens, what kind of monsters are the people at Dayi? Throwing 500-pound stone blocks around like toys? Lifting 1,000-pound gates all the time? And a mere few thousand pounds? This is just too terrifying!

On the other side, Ren Yuan also burst into laughter after hearing Lu Zhishen's words:

"Haha, Master, you're right. In that case, let's make a scene in Tokyo today! If we encounter a heavy gate, Master can try lifting it!"

"If you feel that one person isn't enough, then I'll join you!"
