Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Strategist, we definitely have to go! The Wind Tiger Battalion hasn't fought much since they got their own battalion flag!"

"Strategist, don't listen to Old Tang's nonsense. His battalion already has a title, but our battalion doesn't!"

"That's right, that's right, strategist, please take care of your little brother. We really can't let these people with banners come down the mountain again."

Zhu Wu was quite bewildered. When he opened the door this morning, he found a group of burly men squatting at the entrance. As soon as he came out, they pounced on him and started yelling at him.

They only asked for one thing: to get down the mountain.

After all, with Liangshan becoming more and more popular, these soldiers rarely have real combat opportunities except for training. Now that such a good opportunity is presented to them, everyone must seize it!

"Don't worry, don't worry. This time, my brother said he would bring more people down the mountain. Brothers, don't push. If you push, my door will break."

Looking at his colleagues who were eager for battle, Zhu Wu felt a deep sense of emotion.

That's what winning people's hearts means! If the older brother hadn't treated his brothers well, who would be willing to stand up for them now?

“Brother Tang Bin, you really can’t go down the mountain this time. After all, your battalion is the most veteran cavalry, and you need to stay and guard the stronghold.”

"Teacher Xu, Commander Qin, and Commander Yang, the three of you go back and prepare. This time, the three of you, along with Instructor Lin's personal guard cavalry, will set off together."

Zhu Wu started calling people.

"Thank you, strategist!"

Qin Ming slipped away happily. He was a little unhappy that he hadn't been selected to go to the Green Forest Gathering last time, and he was determined to do his best this time.

Xu Ning and Yang Zhi were also all smiles. What do military generals like most? Of course, it's going to the battlefield!

"On the infantry side, Yuan Lang, this time the Zhu Family Village is going to be tough. Your Ever-Victorious Battalion, don't let us down."

"Don't worry, strategist."

Yuan Lang also has to go this time. Although his Ever Victorious Battalion now has a banner, the infantry is very important in this battle of Zhujiazhuang. As the ace unit, the Ever Victorious Battalion must go.

"Brother Sun An, take good care of your injuries and watch the house. Master Lu, Master Deng, Brother Shi Jin, Brother Wan Chun, you all get ready."

This time, the infantry sent five battalions, plus three cavalry and two guards, making a total of ten battalions!

To help Li Ying, Liangshan mobilized more than 5,000 people!

Well, is this really someone going to help out, or to sabotage the Zhu Family Village's event for Li Ying?

More than 5,000 people—not to mention Zhu Family Village, even the three villages combined couldn't muster that many!

"Strategist, isn't it a bit much if there are too many people?"

Ren Yuan was shocked when he saw the list.

Are you sure you're just here to support someone?

Half of Liangshan has already descended the mountain!

"Brother, there's no other way. Zhu Family Village has too much money and grain inside. If we don't bring back enough, we won't be able to carry it all back."

Zhu Wu shrugged, appearing particularly honest.

"What you said...makes sense!"

Ren Yuan thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. The Zhu Family Manor had more than 500,000 shi of grain and fodder, and the money had not been properly accounted for. If fewer people went, it would indeed be impossible to move it.

"Alright, let's all go down the mountain together. Keep it quiet and don't disturb the surrounding villages. Let's go to Li Family Village first, and then go to Zhu Family Village after we join forces with them."

"Yes, brother!"

……

Two days later, the Liangshan army quietly arrived at Li Family Village. Li Ying, with a thick bandage wrapped around his left shoulder, came to greet them personally.

"Sir, what's going on?"

Ren Yuan dismounted and was taken aback when he saw Li Ying like this.

"Sigh, it's a long story, I got hit with a hammer."

Li Ying grinned. The internal injury from the meteor hammer was indeed difficult to heal. Five or six days had passed, and the injury had not only not improved, but had swelled up even more.

"Luan Tingyu? This guy's meteor hammer is indeed quite troublesome. Don't be too sad, sir. Someone, please invite Physician An to come and take a look at your injury."

Ren Yuan came down to take a look and concluded that the injury must have penetrated deep into the body. He doubted that the physician in Li Yingzhuang would be able to treat it.

"By the way, sir, it's been several days, and Brother Du Xing still hasn't returned?"

"No, those guys from Zhujiazhuang didn't send Du Xing back at all. I can't use force, so I can only send people over every day to yell at him."

Li Ying was helpless. At this point, the disadvantage of Li Family Village became apparent. Although he was very good at fighting, there was no one else in Li Family Village who could fight well besides him.

Once he is injured, Lijiazhuang will have no choice but to close its gates and hold out on the spot.

Just like now.

"It's alright, sir. We have so many brothers. This time, you can choose any one you want. Whichever brother you need to stand up for you, just use that one. We Liangshan are professionals at backing you up!"

Ren Yuan said frankly.

Li Ying peeked out and was a little surprised. "Wow, you're here to support me? With so many people?"

"I, Li Ying, will remember Chief Ren's kindness this time!"

Li Ying was also deeply moved, and then instructed his servants to bring a map.

"Chief Ren, these are paintings I had the brothers in the village who can paint painted these past few days. Take a look."

Ren Yuan took it, unfolded it, and exclaimed, "Wow, this map is really long and incredibly detailed!"

The entire Dulonggang area, including all the mountains, rivers, ravines, and caves, is basically covered on it.

"This is my Li Family Village, this location is the Zhu Family Village, and this is the Hu Family Village. The three families form a triangle, relying on each other."

“But now I’m certain I won’t have anything to do with them anymore. The only thing the Zhu Family Village can rely on is the Hu Family Village. Chief, look, this path is the hidden path for retreating from the Zhu Family Village to the Hu Family Village. So those little brats from the Zhu Family Village aren’t worried about this retreat at all.”

Ren Yuan looked at the mountain road on the map and called Mi Sheng over.

"Mi Sheng, do you see this road?"

"Brother, you saw it, what should we say?"

"I want you to take your men and ambush them along this road. Once we break through the Zhu Family Village ahead, you must cut off this road and prevent their men from escaping! Can you do that?"

"Hehe, brother, just you wait and see, this time I'll definitely give you a great fight!"

The Mi Sheng battalion has a lot of hunters who are skilled in mountain warfare. They were brought along this time for this situation.

"Good, if you perform well this time, your battalion will be awarded a flag when we get back!"

Ren Yuan encouraged him, and then said to the others:

"Not just the Mi Sheng brothers, all the brothers without battalion numbers will have a chance to win the battalion flag this time when we attack the Zhu Family Village, as long as we perform well!"

"Brother, you keep your word!"

"That's right! Brother, is Zhu Chaofeng's head enough to exchange for a flag?"

……

Upon hearing this, the leaders who did not yet have a banner were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood!

"A promise is a promise! As long as we take Zhu Family Village, according to our strategist, the whole mountain won't have to worry for several years. How can we not raise a flag to celebrate such a great achievement?"

Ren Yuan patted his chest and assured everyone.

"Brother, let's not wait any longer, let's charge over there!"

Qin Ming was anxious. The Third Battalion of the Cavalry hadn't encountered a decent battle in a long time, and this time, he was determined to perform well!

"The brothers are tired from the journey. Pass the word down, set up camp and cook a meal. Tomorrow morning, each battalion will take a guide and head to Zhujiazhuang!"

"By the way, sir, this is of utmost importance. From now on, the entire Li Family Village will be under strict lockdown, with entry permitted but exit not. Is that alright?"

"Chief, no problem. Besides, I've wanted to get that nail for a long time!"

Li Ying felt very uncomfortable thinking that there were still spies in the village who hadn't been removed. He decided to take this opportunity to show them who the hell was betraying them!
