Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"It's rare to see a Han Chinese dare to take the initiative to challenge us."

"I heard that these people are not from the old Song Kingdom, but from a new kingdom."

"Oh? There's a new state on the Han people's side too? Isn't that the same as ours?"

"It's still a bit different. I heard from the Grand Preceptor's lieutenants that the Song Kingdom hasn't been destroyed yet. Currently, the Central Plains is divided into three kingdoms. Moreover, the Yi Kingdom still has capable people. Haven't you seen that the Grand Preceptor hasn't been able to defeat that old Taoist priest these past few days?"

"That's different. Surely not everyone in Yi Kingdom has the skills of that old Taoist priest?"

……

The Jin soldiers were filled with an inexplicable confidence about today's battle, so even after arriving on the battlefield, they were still chatting among themselves, seemingly not taking the Dayi army seriously at all. The only thing they were wary of was the old Taoist priest who had defeated Pufeng in the past few days.

Indeed, after all, the Liao people were utterly defeated by them, so what were the Song people, or rather the people of the Central Plains, who were weaker than the Liao people? As for the old Taoist priest, that was an exception.

"Has Yi State become the new power that has replaced Song State...?"

Several members of the Wanyan family were discussing the situation in the main tent. They didn't really know much about the Yi Kingdom.

"Zeng Ding, Zeng Ning, when you were in the State of Song, did you ever hear about this State of Yi?"

Wanyan Wuqimai asked Su Ding and Xie Ning, "Thanks to their relationship with Pufeng, they can now also take orders in the main tent."

"I've heard a little about it, but I don't know much about it. It's said to have been established by some outlaws from the former Song Dynasty. I think there's a high chance that some of these people were the ones who destroyed Zengtou City. Commander, I request permission to fight! I want to avenge my people from Zengtou City!"

Su Ding and Xie Ning immediately volunteered for the mission.

"That's consistent with what Zeng Sheng said back then."

Wanyan Wuqimai nodded, becoming even more convinced that Su Ding and Xie Ning were indeed of Zengtou City's bloodline. The deep-seated hatred of having one's entire family wiped out couldn't be faked.

"Although the Song people are weak, they were able to establish their own state on Song territory, so they cannot be treated as ordinary Song people. Pass down the order to treat this battle with the same attitude as the Liao people. All generals who are capable of fighting should be sent to the front."

Wanyan Wuqi bought a map.

"We must use the fastest and fiercest offensive to crush this group, and then advance westward to take over the remaining territory of the Liao Kingdom!"

"I entrust this to you two, Grand Preceptor and Venerable One."

"Don't worry, General. That old Taoist priest used to rely on his age to suppress me, but he's bound to lose today."

Almost the entire army knew that Pu Feng had failed to defeat an old Taoist priest these past few days, which made Pu Feng lose face.

Therefore, Pufeng had no choice but to use his special skills to tame seven fierce wolves from the grassland in the past few days!

"I alone may not be as good as that old Taoist priest, but with the support of these seven wolves, that old Taoist priest is definitely no match for me!"

Seeing Pufeng's confident demeanor, Wanyan Wuqimai couldn't say much and could only express his respect to the Grand Preceptor.

“Pufeng, if you can’t handle it, then leave that Taoist priest to me.”

Tuoba Cang looked at Pufeng and shook his head.

"Senior Tuoba, what do you mean by this?"

Pu Feng's face darkened. He had just managed to regain some face, but now Tuoba Cang was slapping him in the face.

"Don't overthink it. I still have a score to settle with that old Taoist priest."

Tuoba Cang indicated that he really had something to do.

"Accounts? Senior, do you know that old Taoist priest?"

Pu Feng was somewhat surprised. Why didn't you say so earlier?

"This scar on my chest was left decades ago when I was ambushed by a young Taoist priest. I heard you say that the old Taoist priest used a purple sword. Now that I think about it, there really was an old Taoist priest who also used a purple sword."

Tuoba Cang touched his scar, his eyes seemingly burning with fire.

"So, this old Taoist priest might very well be the same young Taoist priest who injured the senior back then? And he inherited that sword?"

Pu Feng wasn't stupid; after Tuoba Cang said that, he understood the general idea.

"Your Excellency, how about you and the Imperial Preceptor go together today?"

Wanyan Wuqimai thought for a moment, and since there was such a tragic fate involved, he might as well go for it all at once.

"If Senior Tuoba is to come along, I have no objection."

Pu Feng thought for a moment, if Tuoba Cang were to back him up, then this old Taoist priest would be doomed today!

And this so-called Dayi Army, without this old Taoist priest, who else do they have? They're utterly vulnerable!

"Alright, then everyone, go into battle. I, the commander, wish you all a triumphant return!"

After Wanyan Wuqimai finished speaking, everyone bowed to him and then left the command tent to go to the army camp.

At this time, the Jin army was deployed in a tortoise formation, in a defensive posture. Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Ang were directing the formation, preparing to test the strength of the enemy first.

"Strange, why is the Jin army adopting a defensive posture?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised in the Dayi army formation. He had thought that the Jin army would charge directly into the formation, so he was worried that the Shenji Army's artillery fire would be ineffective. However, the Jin army actually set up a defensive formation.

Well, you've delivered this target right to my doorstep, it would be a disservice not to take it!

"Notify Ling Zhen to fire! The Jurchens are all gathered together; one shot will wipe them out!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately went to relay the order, and indeed, the artillery positions were racing against time to set up the guns.

"General Ling, His Highness has ordered us to fire!"

"Open now?"

Ling Zhen looked at the position; his large Thunder Cannon was not yet fully ready.

"Yes, the Jurchens are currently on the defensive, and everyone is huddled together. The prince says it's the best time."

"it is good!"

Ling Zhen took a look with his telescope and confirmed it was true. The Jin army's formation was dense, so even without heavy artillery, it would be fine!

"Divine Fire Eagle, prepare! Mother-and-Child Chain Cannon, prepare!"

The current Shenhuo Feiying is the Shenji Army's small artillery that flies the farthest, has the strongest destructive power, and is also the easiest to fire.

The mother-and-child tandem cannon has a large area of ​​effect and is continuous, making it very suitable for use at this time.

"fire!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

"Boom! Boom!"

Following Ling Zhen's command, many Divine Fire Eagles instantly flew out from the Divine Machine Army. Like real birds of prey, they rushed towards the Jin army's position with a whooshing sound!

"Then, what is that?"

In the Jin army formation, many soldiers heard the noise coming from the sky. They looked up and saw dozens or even hundreds of eagles flying up from a hillside opposite them.

"Oh no! Those are firearms!"

"That's a firearm?! How come I've never seen one before?"

"Spread out! Spread out!"

However, these Jurchens seemed to have an innate sensitivity to danger. When they saw that there were flames behind these eagles, they immediately realized that these were Song firearms!

Although the Liao army had used firearms to resist them not long ago, this was the first time they had ever seen firearms falling from the sky!

"Was it deliberately made in the shape of an eagle? These people are despicable!"

Wanyan Ang cursed his opponent's cunning in his heart. He knew that the eagle was the totem of the Jurchen people. The enemy was trying to strike a blow to their morale by doing this!

"Boom, boom, boom..."

As soon as the Divine Fire Eagle landed in the Jin army's formation, a series of explosions rang out instantly. Although the Jin people reacted urgently, the destructive power of the Divine Fire Eagle exceeded their expectations, and screams of agony immediately rang out throughout the army!

For the Jin people, the biggest thought at this moment was: —This, this is a cannon?
