Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Drive! Drive!"

Three hundred elite soldiers were galloping across the grassland. They had changed into brand new equipment, each with new armor, a new sword, two bows, and two horses!

They only brought three days' worth of rations, and their main objective was a rapid assault!

"Brother, is there something wrong with this map? Why can't we see the enemy camp yet?"

Yang Zaixing followed closely behind Yue Fei. Looking at the unchanging scenery around him, he wondered, "Is our map okay?"

"The map is fine, but the Jurchens always camped in different places every now and then, so it's normal that we can't find it."

As Yue Fei took out a map to look at it, he also looked at the surrounding situation. He judged that there must have been a Jurchen camp nearby, but the people had moved away now.

"Continue the pursuit north! Scouts, advance another five li!"

Because of the configuration of one person with two horses, the entire team moved very fast, and the ten people closest to Yue Fei were each equipped with a short musket.

This is the latest invention of the Tiangong Academy. Although loading and other processes are rather troublesome, and only one shot can be fired at a time, once prepared, this one shot is enough in close combat! Within ten paces, the power of this shot is enough to directly penetrate iron armor and kill! Within twenty paces, this shot can also dent iron armor and break bones.

The main strategy is to surprise everyone!

"This shot is a life-saving measure. Don't fire it carelessly. If we can't get out of the Jin army camp in time after we charge in, this shot can at least take one person away. It won't be a loss."

Yue Fei told the ten soldiers carrying muskets to be careful. He wasn't too worried about losing the muskets, because the Imperial Workshop had been improving the short muskets. The current version could only be used for self-defense, and in battle, it could only be used as a hidden weapon for sneak attacks.

"Don't worry, General, we're sure we won't miss this shot!"

Those who were able to obtain these ten guns were the best among the three hundred men. They were all very good at using crossbows, so they had no difficulty learning to use short guns.

The three hundred men ran for most of the day, and as night was about to fall, they were lucky enough to find a small ravine where they could shelter from the wind, with a stream nearby. Yue Fei signaled for everyone to come down and rest.

He himself climbed up the small hill and used his telescope to try to see if there were any traces of the Jin army nearby, since the view from the top was more open.

"Brother, go downstairs and get something to eat. I'll take care of things."

Yang Zaixing followed him up and gestured for Yue Fei to go down and rest, saying he would come and watch for a while.

"It's alright. Go down and get something to eat. Tell everyone to make sure they get plenty of rest. We're ready to leave at any time."

"Okay, big brother, you take this."

Yang Zaixing handed a hot steamed bun to Yue Fei. Some buns had been heated up when the fire was lit to cook the food, and Yang Zaixing had simply given one to Yue Fei.

"it is good."

Yue Fei didn't stand on ceremony. He took the steamed bun, took a bite, and chewed it vigorously. While chewing, he continued to stare into the distance with his all-seeing eye.

The night grew darker, but fortunately the moonlight was still good and didn't affect his search much. Suddenly, in the farthest part of his vision, a light seemed to flicker, and Yue Fei immediately perked up!

"Zaixing, come and take a look!"

Yue Fei looked at it several more times, but because the distance was still quite far, if he had used his telescope, the tiny spark of light would have been almost invisible in the darkness.

After Yang Zaixing came up, he took the telescope and looked in the direction Yue Fei was pointing. After staring at it intently for a while, Yang Zaixing's expression became excited!

"Big brother, we've found the enemy!"

"You also think they are the enemy, right?"

After seeing Yang Zaixing's reaction, Yue Fei felt a little relieved, because he had thought he might have misread it due to his excitement.

"Yes, that's right, they are the enemy!"

Yang Zaixing's tone was very firm.

"It's so late. The only people we could run into on the grasslands are the Jurchens! Brother, let me take some men. I'm sure I can take them down!"

"We can't split up; we're outnumbered. If we're going, we have to go together!"

Yue Fei stated that dividing the troops was impossible; at this point, they could only fight together!

"But it looks a bit far."

"Get everyone up and get ready immediately! Scouts, go first, the rest of you follow!"

Yue Fei made a quick decision. After memorizing the location, he immediately went down the mountain and notified the entire army to prepare to set off again.

This is where the soldiers' qualities are revealed. If they were ordinary soldiers, they would definitely complain or vent their dissatisfaction if they were asked to prepare again after only a short rest. But these soldiers are elite. When they heard the order to go back into battle, they immediately got up and began to prepare, many of them even before they had finished swallowing their food.

"Scouts, prepare! Follow me!"

Niu Gao also received the news and immediately went to summon scouts.

"Old Niu, are you taking the scouts ahead?"

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing understood Niu Gao's meaning when they saw his actions.

"Yes, General, I'll go first, you can follow me!"

Niu Gao felt it was necessary for him to go ahead and take the lead. After all, Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing were young, and he could go and see what the situation was like first, so that he could report back in time if things went wrong.

"Alright! The scouts go first, the rest of you follow after two incense sticks have burned!"

Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing agreed with Niu Gao's approach, saying that sending scouts ahead was not a problem.

"A squad of scouts, come with me!"

Niu Gao selected ten scouts, who, with gags in their mouths and horses with their hooves wrapped, rushed ahead in the direction Yue Fei pointed. The others quickly packed up and waited quietly for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

When the time was almost up, Yue Fei immediately mounted his horse and signaled everyone to set off! The team immediately formed a neat formation, with people gagged and horses' hooves wrapped to minimize the noise of their journey.

……

The Jin army camp was currently celebrating, and the central command tent was even more lively:

"Your Highness, Fourth Prince, please drink!"

"Your Highness, please try this lamb leg!"

"Your Highness, although the conditions here are not great, our Great Jin soldiers are not afraid of hardship!"

……

This Jin army numbered approximately 15,000 men, of which 5,000 were the troops of the current fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the other 10,000 were Jin troops who had been stationed in this area.

Today happens to be the day that the Fourth Prince led his troops to offer their condolences and supplies, bringing them ample provisions and provisions.

The fourth prince, Wanyan Zongbi, also known as Jin Wuzhu, is a bold and courageous man with exceptional archery skills. He enjoys high prestige among the princes of the Jin Dynasty, especially in the army, where many believe he will become the future war god of the Jin Dynasty.

"Thank you all for your hard work!"

Jin Wuzhu raised his wine cup. This time, he led 5,000 elite troops on a southern tour, firstly to stabilize the border, and secondly to continue to build his influence in the army.

A prince who can patrol the border regardless of danger and repeatedly achieve military merits is the most likely person to inherit the future throne of the Great Jin Dynasty!

"Rest assured, everyone! I know how hard you suffer guarding the border! Please persevere a little longer!"

"Soon, I will personally lead you south to attack that damned Yi Kingdom!"
