Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Cover General Zhong!"

"If anything happens to Commander Zhong, you will all come to me with your heads!"

The old man Zhong Shidao, in a fit of youthful exuberance, charged ahead with his sword, which greatly boosted the morale of the Zhong family army. However, on a smaller scale, it caused hardship for his guards.

After all, they had to protect Master Zhong's path at all costs.

Fortunately, the road on the right side of the city wall had been cleared by the Zhong family army. Zhong Shidao was able to charge up the road without much trouble. Even if there were some stray arrows, they were blocked by the guards.

But don't think that Zhong Shidao will only be protected by others. When he got close to the city wall, he suddenly shouted and jumped directly from the long ladder into the parapet!

How could the Western Xia people not be surprised that an old man in his sixties with a beard that was mostly white was working so hard?

While they were still in shock, Zhong Shidao's long sword had already slashed at the soldiers who were standing there dumbfounded!

Still spacing out on the battlefield? Are you looking for death?

"That's the way of the teacher!"

"The Way of the Seed Master!!"

The people of Western Xia were no strangers to the name Zhong Shidao. Over the past few decades, although Zhong Shidao's reputation was not as terrifying as stopping a child from crying, it was still enough to make people's hearts tremble.

"Zhong family army, listen to my command! Capture the city! Open the city gates!"

"The Master of Seeds is here! The Master of Seeds is here!"

The Western Xia people were in disarray. Zhong Shidao's arrival made the situation on the city wall even more complicated. Some Western Xia people wanted to kill him, while others were afraid of him. The two groups had different opinions, which made command even more difficult!

"kill!"

Zhong Shidao beheaded another Western Xia man with a single sword strike, then roared at them. Under this command, the soldiers of the Zhong family army behind him bypassed Zhong Shidao and fiercely pounced on their opponents!

The entire city wall instantly became a giant meat grinder, with countless corpses piled up, almost exceeding the height of the parapet.

The shouts of battle from the city walls continued all night long. When the first rays of sunlight shone on the walls in the early morning, the sounds still hadn't stopped, though they were much weaker than during the night.

Zhong Shidao's helmet had fallen off at some point, his hair was disheveled, he was using his sword to support his body, his chest was still heaving, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

"General Zhong, you're working too hard!"

The guards around Zhong Shidao quickly took off a corner of their clothes to wipe his sweat. Who would have thought that this old general would actually fight alongside them all night?

"If I don't cherish the opportunity that these young men risked their lives for, then I don't need to be the commander anymore. I might as well go back to herding cattle."

With the help of his guards, Zhong Shidao leaned gently against the parapet. Although there were still shouts of battle on the city wall, they were now quite far away from him.

"How's the battle going?"

"General, this entire city wall is basically ours now. The Western Xia only have a small piece of territory on the far left, which they can't hold."

The guard pointed to the left, where it was clear that some Western Xia people were trying to counterattack, but each attempt ended in failure.

"Are there any survivors on the right side? Those are all brave men of the Dayi Army."

After confirming that the situation on the left was still under the control of the Zhong family army, Zhong Shidao immediately inquired about the situation of his allies.

"It's not quite clear yet. Everyone was busy fighting last night and didn't seem to pay much attention to the right side."

"Take me there, quick!"

Zhong Shidao frowned. This wouldn't do. The Zhong family army, including himself, was able to easily get onto the city yesterday, thanks to the Ren Dayi army which had fiercely opened a gap on the right flank.

The battle is almost over, and they still don't know what's going on on the other side? People will talk behind their backs if they find out.

"General, you don't need to go, we can go!"

The guards were hoping that Master Zhong would stop running around. The old general was getting on in years, and if something happened to him, who could bear it?

"If I don't want to go, then you won't go either. But now that I'm going, do you still want to stop me?"

Zhong Shidao looked at his guards and said helplessly.

"They are our allies! Without them, we might not have made it up last night. My Zhong family army is grateful for their help, have you all forgotten?"

"Yes, let's go right now!"

The guards immediately led Zhong Shidao to the right side of the city wall, where it was very quiet. Apart from the various corpses, there seemed to be no other sound.

Why are they all wearing the same clothes?

The guards were dumbfounded; at first glance, they were all Western Xia people!

“They asked us for so many Western Xia military uniforms yesterday, probably so they could sneak into the city. Now it seems they did.”

Zhong Shidao was also deeply moved.

"Find them! I refuse to believe that Han Shizhong wouldn't differentiate his soldiers! Look around and see if there are any differences in their uniforms!"

"Yes!"

The guards quickly began to search the bodies, while keeping an eye out for any survivors. If they were from the Dayi Army, they would rescue them; if they were from the Western Xia, they would finish them off.

But the problem is, the Dayi army and the Western Xia people look almost identical now, what can be done?

"Brother, brother, wake up! Are you from the Dayi Army?"

At that moment, a guard spotted a soldier who was just beginning to regain consciousness in the crowd. He quickly went up to him, patting his face as he asked him questions.

"Cough...yes, cough cough..."

Having been trapped for so long, and then suddenly rescued, this soldier from Dayi was barely able to speak clearly.

"Good! We won last night, but brothers, your clothes are exactly the same as the Western Xia people's. How are we going to find your people now?"

The rescued soldier, seeing the city walls littered with corpses, was overcome with emotion and speechless. He simply pointed to his arm, where a ribbon was tightly wrapped around it.

"Anyone with a belt is one of yours? Search! Find everyone who's still breathing!"

Zhong Shidao immediately understood what this person meant and immediately ordered his men to find someone quickly, saying that the person with the belt on their arm was one of their own!

"Young man, what's your name?"

Zhong Shidao walked up to the soldier and slowly squatted down. The guy didn't look very old, and it was hard to tell how he had been trained to be so old.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The young man was still coughing. He pointed to his throat, shook his head, and indicated that it was inconvenient for him to speak.

"Where is your commander? I need to recommend him for credit."

Zhong Shidao was eager to see if the Dayi Army on the right was led by Han Shizhong.

"..."

The first soldier rescued was unable to make a sound; he simply raised his hand and pointed in a direction where there was a high mountain of corpses, from which no one could be seen.

"Rescue!"

Zhong Shidao immediately gave the order, and with everyone's combined efforts, they quickly moved the bodies aside and found a very strong-looking man inside.

"Where am I?"

Erhu was in a daze, wondering if he had arrived in the underworld, but upon closer inspection, he realized something was wrong. Where would sunlight come from in the underworld?

"I am Zhong Shidao. You are a general under Han Shizhong, right? I remember you. You are here, but where is Han Shizhong?"

Zhong Shidao wanted to know where Han Shizhong had gone.

"Deputy, deputy commander, sir, should, should still be in the city..."

Erhu spoke haltingly, but he felt that his deputy commander must still be fighting the enemy in the city!

"Brothers of the Western Army! Follow me down the city wall and support this Han the Bold!"

Zhong Shidao patted Erhu on the shoulder, telling him to rest well, and then prepared to personally lead people to support Han Shizhong.

But he had only taken two steps when he suddenly felt dizzy and lost his balance, falling into the arms of the guard beside him!

The guards panicked immediately!

"General Zhong! General Zhong!"

"Where's the doctor? Where's the doctor?!"

"No, leave me alone!"

Although Zhong Shidao could not stand, he still had a lot of energy.

"Quickly, go and support Han Dadan! He's isolated inside; if we don't send reinforcements soon, he'll be in serious trouble..."
