Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Array up!"

Ren Yuan brought cavalry with him this time as well.

In order for the Ma army to unleash its full combat potential, in addition to equipment and generals, two other elements are needed.

First, the formation must be arranged well to prevent teammates from bumping into each other.

Secondly, the warhorses need a process of accelerating their charge; only when the cavalry charges can they unleash their true power!

Although it's unclear how long the approaching group will take, Ren Yuan doesn't mind striking first.

You want to launch a sneak attack? Then we'll go there on our own!

Let's see who's tougher!

Moreover, the Liangshan army had eaten and drunk their fill and rested well, and since Dong Ping's side had called for reinforcements, they must have arrived overnight!

By conserving our energy and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out, we have the advantage!

Xu Ning and Hua Rong immediately directed their troops to form ranks, with the two of them flanking Ren Yuan on either side.

"Shi Qian, Wu Song, Ma Ling, you stay behind to cover our retreat. Keep an eye on our carriage!"

Wu Song excelled in foot combat, so he left Ma Ling to help him manage the troops. As for Shi Qian, he wasn't a combat-oriented individual, and aside from reconnaissance, it was impossible for him to be on the front lines of battle. (Therefore, the TV series' drastic changes are quite bizarre, having Shi Qian lead a charge to attack the city; only a fool would use Shi Qian like that.)

"Second Battalion, Fifth Battalion, charge with me!"

Ren Yuan slapped his horse and took the lead, setting off first. Xu Ning and Hua Rong, behind him, also led their own cavalry to gradually accelerate!

……

Something's not right.

On the other side, Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, Ding Desun led the charge, with Gong Wang bringing up the rear, while the cavalry from Dongchang Prefecture were also rushing over.

But as the distance between the two sides closed, Zhang Qing suddenly felt something was wrong.

The sound of horses' hooves seemed to grow louder and louder in his ears!

That's not right. We only have this many people in our unit, and we haven't sped up. So where is the sound of horses' hooves coming from?

He quickly found the answer!

Because another cavalry force suddenly appeared on the horizon!

The burly man leading the charge, clad in silver armor, wielded a three-pointed double-edged sword and rode a large black horse, charging straight towards his own army formation!

Behind him followed more than five hundred cavalrymen! They formed a wedge formation and began to charge!

"Dong Ping! Is this the Liangshan army?!"

Zhang Qing was somewhat incredulous. Were these bandits?

Stop kidding me! Look at their equipment, it's even better than the government troops'!

"It's them!"

Dong Ping immediately recognized Ren Yuan, the leader, and his anger surged up, so he rushed forward!

"You bandits of Liangshan! How dare you deceive me last night!"

Dong Ping ran so fast that Zhang Qing didn't even have time to curse!

Damn it! How could it be a battle between cavalry? Do the Liangshan bandits have so many horses?

If Zhang Qing had known the enemy had so many cavalry, he definitely wouldn't have wanted to come!

Dong Ping, you've ruined my life!

But there's no other way now. It's too late to retreat. Everyone has been running for so long. If we turn back now, the casualties will only be greater!

And where can they retreat to now? There's nowhere to retreat to! They can only continue their attack!

Zhang Qing had a feeling that his cavalry battalion probably wouldn't survive the day!

"Dongchang Prefecture, charge!"

Left with no other choice, we had to grit our teeth and keep going!

Warhorses charged from both sides, and soon the two groups of people were close together!

"Die, you Liangshan bandits!"

Dong Ping was filled with rage, and he had two iron spears ready!

But he discovered that the big guy leading the group had somehow pulled out a bow and arrow and was firing at his face!

This arrow was very fast and powerful, with a whistling sound, and it rushed straight towards Dong Ping like lightning!

In desperation, he could only lower his head and try to dodge the arrow!

"Snapped!"

But the next moment, he felt a chill on his head as something was forcibly ripped off his head! At the same time, the helmet strap around his neck snapped!

"Om!!"

The arrow pierced Dong Ping's helmet, sending it flying towards the ranks behind him. It struck a flagpole squarely, the shaft deeply embedded in the wood, its tip still trembling.

"Hey, didn't win?"

Ren Yuan was somewhat surprised; he had originally thought that this arrow would take down Xiao Dong on the other side.

"Thieves have insulted me!"

Dong Ping stood up. Because his helmet was gone, his hair was disheveled, and he looked rather disheveled!

But he still brandished his spear, ready to fight Ren Yuan one-on-one!

"Alright, take this!"

Ren Yuan sheathed his bow, picked up his knife again, and prepared to test his spear skills!

"Fifth Battalion, draw your bows! Fire three arrows in rapid succession! Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Meanwhile, under Hua Rong's command, the horse archers of Hua Rong's Fifth Battalion also launched a rapid three-round volley!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The two hundred-plus men from Ma Wuying who were charging at the same time unleashed a barrage of arrows, which immediately rained down on Zhang Qing and his men!

"Raise your shield! Raise your shield!"

Ding Desun immediately ordered his soldiers to raise their shields. He felt incredulous that he had returned to the Western Army battlefield to fight against the Western Xia cavalry.

A bandit's den, yet it has cavalry capable of launching projectiles?!

You must be imposters from the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty!

"Ah! Ah!..."

Although Ding Desun gave a warning, the rain of arrows came too fast, and some soldiers were still hit by arrows and fell off their horses due to improper movements. In this kind of rushing situation, even if those who fell off their horses were not shot to death, they would be trampled to death by the people and horses behind them.

"Second Battalion, raise your guns!"

Seeing that Hua Rong's troops were doing a good job, Xu Ning's side was not to be outdone. He signaled his men to raise their spears, ready to string the enemy together!

"bump!!"

The two cavalry forces collided like two torrents!

Then, shouts of killing, screams of agony, and the sounds of people falling from their horses rose and fell in waves!

Ren Yuan immediately found Dong Ping and brought his three-pronged dagger down on his head!

Dong Ping lost his own spear in Yanggu County, where it was captured by Liangshan. What he now has is an ordinary iron spear from Zhang Qing's army.

Therefore, Dong Ping dared not use the spear to block the attack head-on, fearing that the spear would be cut in half by someone's precious sword!

After all, the three-pointed dagger in Ren Yuan's hand was gleaming silver and clearly not an ordinary item!

Therefore, Dong Ping can only use skills to make up for his shortcomings!

When facing the bizarre dual-gun technique for the first time, Ren Yuan was particularly cautious, so although he had some advantages, they were not obvious.

"Whoosh!"

Just as Ren Yuan was focused on fighting Dong Ping, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking through the air. He reacted quickly, immediately forcing Dong Ping back with a move and sheathing his sword to protect himself!

"clang!!"

Sparks flew, and the three-pointed sword trembled slightly. Only then did Ren Yuan realize that what was being thrown at him was actually a stone!

Looking in that direction again, he was shocked to find a young general who looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old staring at him from not far away! It seemed he was about to continue launching stones!

"The Featherless Arrow, Zhang Qing!"

Without a doubt, there's only one male general in the entire Water Margin with this kind of ability! It's Zhang Qing!

Interesting, Dong Ping actually called him here!

"Huh, I missed?"

Zhang Qing was also somewhat surprised. He took out another stone from his belt, flicked his wrist, and sent the stone flying again!

But this time, Ren Yuan didn't dodge!

Because an arrow flew from another direction and intercepted the flying stone in mid-air!

"clang!"

This arrow completely changed the trajectory of the flying stone, causing it to miss its target!

"What superb stone-throwing skills! But you'd better not get involved in that battle over there!"

Zhang Qing turned around following the sound and saw a young general holding a bow and arrow, staring at him.

The person who stopped my flying stone just now was this one!

Zhang Qing sensed something was wrong.

How come there are so many talented people in Liangshan?

This battle is going to be tough!
