Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Is there any place where we can launch a surprise attack on our city walls?"

Li Liangfu grabbed a soldier and asked him a question.

No, that's all.

The soldier said, "We've already reached the battlefield, where are the other city walls coming from?"

"Gone? How is that possible! Patrol! Patrol!"

Li Liangfu pushed the soldiers in his hands aside and began calling for the patrol team.

"General, General, over here!"

The patrol team arrived at the city wall at this time, and when they heard Li Liangfu calling them, they quickly came over.

"During your daily patrols, what weak points are there in the city wall?"

Li Liangfu didn't waste any words and asked directly.

"Huh? A weak point?... It doesn't seem like there is one."

The patrol members looked at each other in bewilderment. Their city was impregnable; the Zhong family army had been fighting for so long without being able to take it down. There was no weak point in their defenses.

"Think again! Not a single one?! How do you usually patrol?"

Li Liangfu was furious. "You guys are a bunch of useless trash!"

"We usually patrol along the city wall. The mountains on both sides provide cover, but the front part of the wall is relatively weak."

The patrol team stated that the area they were in was very vulnerable.

"What about the back?"

Li Liangfu seized upon the loophole and immediately asked.

"General, given our terrain, is there any need to ask about the rear? Who can get around to the rear and launch an attack?"

Some people scoffed, thinking Li Liangfu must be stupid! Behind them was the territory of Western Xia. What if there was a sneak attack? Would they fight each other?

"Damn it! Men, come with me!"

Upon hearing what the patrol team said, Li Liangfu immediately understood that the area behind the city must be the weakest point in the defenses!

Although he didn't quite believe the enemy would attack from behind, under the current circumstances, after eliminating all other possibilities, the remaining one, no matter how impossible, was the only answer.

He took off running towards the back of the city, and some of the soldiers around him also came to their senses and followed him.

However, not everyone followed suit. Most people stayed behind to continue guarding the city walls. These people didn't have a very high opinion of Li Liangfu, so when they saw him leading his men in retreat, all sorts of opinions arose:

"Playing tricks, does he really think he's a military genius? He thinks whatever he wants is reality?"

"Exactly! Zhong Shidao attacked so fiercely, yet he claims it was a feint. If you ask me, General Li is afraid!"

"That's right! What new artillery, what reinforcements? Who is he trying to scare? Now he's leading his men to run away, saying there's a sneak attack from behind, but isn't he just thinking about escaping?"

"It is! It is!"

……

Li Liangfu was unaware that he had been mistaken for a deserter. At this moment, all he wanted was to get to the end of the city wall as quickly as possible to prevent the worst premonition in his heart from coming true.

At this moment, in the shadows on the city wall behind, a cross-shaped iron hook was wedged into a gap in the wall, with the rope on it taut! Not long after, a pair of hands appeared on the city wall first. Han Shizhong cautiously poked half his head out, and after confirming that no one was around, he pushed off the city wall with all his might and nimbly flew onto the city wall.

Once he was up there, he kept watch while shaking the rope to urge the soldiers below who hadn't yet come up to hurry up. Soon, more and more Dayi soldiers appeared on the city wall!

"There's a lively fight going on up ahead!"

This city is quite large; at least from where Han Shizhong and his men are now, they can only see a sliver of fire on the city walls where the battle is taking place in the distance.

"Brothers, cheer up, change into Western Xia clothes, and remember to tie a strap around your arm in case you accidentally kill the wrong person in the chaos."

Han Shizhong gave a low order, then signaled some people to stay here, while others went around in another direction, and he himself led a group forward.

Because they were also dressed as Western Xia people, and it was dark, it was basically impossible to tell the difference in their disguises. Moreover, Han Shizhong and his men were very cunning; when passing by some outposts, they would kill the people there without anyone noticing and replace them with their own men.

However, perhaps because their progress was too smooth and peaceful, God had to give them some tests.

Sure enough, they had only traveled about halfway when Han Shizhong saw a group of people carrying torches rushing toward him. The leader looked to be a general of high rank, and although he couldn't see the armor clearly, it gave the impression of being very high-class.

"Let's move aside."

Han Shizhong decisively signaled his troops to move to the side, giving them the larger area in the passageway.

They thought these people would pass by them quickly, but before the two groups had even parted ways, the Western Xia general leading the group suddenly stopped.

"stop!"

Li Liangfu turned his head and signaled Han Shizhong's troops to stop.

Han Shizhong stopped, turned around, bowed slightly, and spoke very respectfully.

"What is it, General?"

"Are you the patrol team for today?"

Li Liangfu stared at the man, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Yes, my unit is on a routine patrol."

"Fighting has broken out at the front, and they're demanding full military support. Why didn't you go?"

Li Liangfu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. There was nothing he could do; although the army in front of him was dressed in Western Xia uniforms, something still felt off.

"Reporting to the general, we were quite far away just now, but we are now preparing to rush over."

Han Shizhong said with his head down.

Where were you just now?

Upon hearing Han Shizhong say that they had been far away, Li Liangfu immediately perked up!

"Reporting to the general, we were there just now, patrolling the area, and everything was normal."

Han Shizhong stretched out his hand and pointed in another direction further away in the firelight.

"Okay, then you should hurry over there."

"Yes."

Han Shizhong was about to turn and leave when Li Liangfu called him back!

"Wait a moment!"

Han Shizhong was taken aback, but still obediently turned around.

"General, is there anything else?"

Li Liangfu stared at the person who had slightly lowered his head, and slowly reached one hand to his waist.

"Hands out!"

His voice was very cold, and his tone was absolutely unyielding!

Han Shizhong frowned slightly, but still extended his hand.

In the firelight, Li Liangfu grabbed his hand and turned him over.

"Such thick calluses, do you use knives often?"

Li Liangfu asked.

"General, I have practiced martial arts since childhood, so my hands are calloused."

Han Shizhong spoke fluently without hesitation.

"Really? The calluses on your hands are thicker than those of many generals, so how come you can only be a patrol team leader? Are you being suppressed? Tell me, what's your name?"

Li Liangfu placed one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist and the other on Han Shizhong's hand, asking the question word by word.

The soldiers around him seemed to sense that something was wrong with the general, and they also began to scrutinize the patrol team.

"your name!"

Seeing that Han Shizhong still didn't answer, Li Liangfu raised his voice.

"Your uncle!"

But the next moment, Han Shizhong suddenly grabbed his wrist and kicked him, sending the knife he was about to pull out flying back!

"Brothers! Kill!"

Han Shizhong had no choice but to order the fighting to begin here. He had originally planned to sneak into the area closest to the city wall where the battle was taking place!

"It's the enemy!"

Li Liangfu also realized what was happening and immediately called on the soldiers behind him to meet the enemy!

However, he only had time to say that one sentence, because the next moment a fist the size of a sandbag slammed into his face!

"You rascal! Why are you asking so many questions?!"

"You ruined my plan, I'll beat you to death!"
