Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Hey, brother!"

A little earlier, before Yang Zhi drew his sword, Han Tao voluntarily walked towards the sentry post at the city gate.

The people on the city gate sentry post were a little more serious than those on the city wall, but it wasn't because they liked it; it was simply because the city gate was too low and didn't offer the same kind of entertainment as the city wall.

"Hey bro, which battalion are you from? What's going on?"

The sentries at the city gate naturally saw Yang Zhi and Han Tao being stopped, but because of the distance and the darkness, they didn't know what had happened.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just been so long since we last met, let's have a good chat. By the way, here's the password."

Han Tao took the initiative and demanded the password first. This typical behavior of a seasoned soldier did not arouse suspicion from the Liao people.

Because there were many Song people in the Liao army, and they did the same thing, which even influenced many Liao soldiers.

"At the foot of Mount Muye!" (Mount Muye was a sacred mountain of the Liao Dynasty, a place of worship for the Liao people.)

"...Speak louder."

Han Tao obviously didn't know the password, so he could only pretend to take two steps forward.

"At the foot of Mount Konoha! Report back!"

The sentry had no choice but to ask again very seriously.

"Old Han! Seize the door!!"

At that moment, Yang Zhi's voice rang out!

"what's the situation?"

Before the sentry at the gate could react, he saw the patrolling soldier who had greeted him suddenly leap up!

"go to hell!"

Han Tao is a man who absolutely follows orders. Since Yang Zhi has issued an order, he will definitely carry it out.

So he drew his knife and charged at the sentry post!

"Enemy! Enemy attack!"

However, Han Tao was not Yang Zhi, so he was a bit slower. He was unable to kill his opponent before the opponent could react, which prompted the sentry to sound a warning.

However, it wasn't a big problem, because Han Tao wasn't alone. His soldiers followed closely behind and pounced on him, catching the enemy off guard!

"kill!"

At this moment, Yang Zhi had gone mad with killing intent, wildly wielding his family heirloom sword, reaping the lives of the Liao people like a grim reaper.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Light the fire! Notify reinforcements!"

"A squad of men, come with me down to meet the enemy!"

Although the Liao people were rather lazy during their patrols, they were quick to notify reinforcements. In no time, the entire city gate was brightly lit and bustling with activity!

……

"Princess, there's a fire near the city gate, and there seems to be some activity."

The soldiers who were attacking Qiong Yao Mansion suddenly noticed that the sky in the direction of the city gate was red, and they immediately reported it to Dalibo.

"The city gate is on fire?"

Dalibo leaned out of the carriage, glanced at the sky beyond the city gate, and began to ponder.

At this moment, the defenses of the Qiong Yao Mansion were about to crumble, and the main gate was about to be breached. And then the city gate caught fire? What a coincidence!

My dear Imperial Uncle, you've read quite a few of the Han military treatises! Are you going to follow me in our strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao"?

"Ignore it! Keep attacking!"

Dalibo said, "Never mind anything else, just keep fighting."

"Yes!"

Inside the Qiong Yao Mansion, the guards suffered considerable losses and were under great pressure. They were considering asking for help from outside, but at that moment someone suddenly noticed that the city gate seemed to be on fire!

"General! Let's go, the fire's started!"

"Just put out the fire! What are you talking to me about? That bitch Dalibo, is she trying to burn me alive?"

Qiong Yaonayan cursed and swore; he was truly in a headache. Dali Bo's rocket attack was ruthless; if it weren't for the fact that his house had enough water from the well, it would have burned down long ago!

"General, our mansion is alright, it wasn't burned too badly."

Upon hearing that General Qiong Yao had misunderstood, the soldiers quickly clarified the situation.

"Then what nonsense are you talking about!"

Qiong Yaona was furious. "Are you deliberately trying to make fun of me?"

"General, what I mean is, the city gate is flooded! Is the Emperor sending reinforcements to help us?"

"what?"

Qiong Yaonayan's face was smeared with soot, and his expression froze when he heard what his subordinate said.

How could I possibly have a genius like you under my command? The Emperor burned down the city gates to support us. Does that sound reasonable?

"Then, if the city gate is on fire, the princess should retreat to put out the fire, and then we'll be saved, right?"

The soldier said, "Shouldn't this be the way it is?"

"Hmm...that makes sense."

Qiong Yaonayan thought about it and realized that it made sense, but he still couldn't believe it. Yelü Chun, was he really willing to set the city gate on fire for his sake?

Of course it's impossible! At this moment, Yelü Chun was on his way back to his residence when he suddenly saw the sky in the direction of the city gate turn red, and he was stunned.

"What is Dalibo doing? Attacking Qiongyao Nayan's residence is one thing, but now he's burning down the city gates!"

Yelü Chun really couldn't understand why his eldest niece was being so fierce today.

"Your Majesty, is it possible that the princess didn't start this fire?"

Yelü Chun's guard said that he didn't think the princess would do such a thing; it didn't make sense!

"Who else could it be but her? Me? Or Qiong Yaonayan?"

Yelü Chun cursed and swore. He had lost face with Dali Bo today, and now he was angry with everyone.

"Your Majesty, that person might not even be the princess's man. That's the city gate; the princess wouldn't do that, would she?"

After Yelü Chun finished cursing, he calmed down and thought about it. He realized that Dalibo was right. Even if she was crazy, she wouldn't burn down the city gates right away, unless she had lost her mind!

"Go, take a group of men to the city gate and see what my niece is up to!"

"Yes!"

……

"kill!"

At this moment, the city gate was filled with the deafening shouts of battle. Yang Zhi had already dealt with the men behind him, and now he and Han Tao, wielding their twin swords, charged towards the city gate together!

"It's the enemy! It's the enemy!"

The chaotic city gates were only just realizing that Yang Zhi and his men were not on their side when they immediately raised the alarm. But by then it was too late, as Yang Zhi and his men had already stormed the gates!

"Old Han! Open the door with your men!"

After felling the last gate guard, Yang Zhi kicked up a spear, held the spear in his left hand and a precious sword in his right, both raised together, intending to single-handedly stop the enemy surging in from the darkness!

"Damn it, you hold the line for me!"

Seeing Yang Zhi's posture, Han Tao didn't waste any words and quickly led his men to lift the bolts of the city gate!

However, it must be said that the bolt on the gate of Xijing was very heavy, and Han Tao and the others could not lift it completely for a while!

"Hurry up! Otherwise, Old Yang will die fighting alone!"

Upon hearing the words behind him, Yang Zhi visibly staggered.

Old Han, can't you speak properly? If you can't, then shut up!

Or is it that you've been coveting my position as commander for a long time, and now you've finally told the truth?

"Stop talking nonsense! I haven't even started the fight yet! Hurry up and open the door!!"

PS: This is the third August 15th mentioned in this book. Let us remember the anniversary of Japan's unconditional surrender. Eighty years ago, our forefathers used their bones as a monument, vowing to defend every inch of our land, their unyielding spirit turning the long night into dawn. Eighty years later, we continue to safeguard this monument to peace, living up to the heroes' vows and defending a bright future. Our land will never forget the courage and responsibility of our youth.

P.S.: I'm in Singapore for a conference. It's not shameful to work hard!
