Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Come on!"

After the south gate was breached, Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue were able to retreat slightly after their initial charge was repelled by arrows.

“Commander, they’ve dug a pit; we can’t break through.”

A sharp-eyed soldier, through the gaps in the flames, spotted Gao Lian directing his soldiers to dig a pit behind a semi-circular barricade.

If they charge in like that, the soldiers at the front will probably fall into the pit and be riddled with arrows.

"Listen up, everyone in the Vajra Gang! Shields, step forward and form a shield formation. Also, quickly go and report to your brother that we need sandbags and stones to fill the pit."

Lu Zhishen wiped his face and then instructed his men, "This Gao Lian is indeed quite capable of defending the city!"

"Yes, by the way, tell my brother that Gao Lian is here, and I reckon his flying soldiers are here too. He might need the help of strategists Gongsun and Qiao."

Deng Yuanjue also said.

……

"Yiqing, Daoqing, go and assist the master. I'm afraid Gao Lian might cause some trouble."

After receiving the message from Lu Zhishen, Ren Yuan immediately dispatched two strategists.

"No problem, just leave it to us."

Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing accepted the order and immediately led their men to provide support.

At this moment, Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue each held a large shield and stood at the front, while others also held up shields, forming a large shield formation and charging forward!

The people behind them, carrying sandbags and stones, quickly threw the sandbags and other objects into the pit.

"Fire arrows!"

"Dang Dang Dang~"

Although many arrows flew over, they were all blocked by the shields and did not cause any damage to the Liangshan army. On the contrary, some sand and torches thrown by Gao Lian's army caused some trouble for the Liangshan army.

However, with Lu Zhishen and his men holding shields, they would occasionally throw sandbags and other items out of the shield formation, making it seem as if the newly dug pit would soon be filled in again.

Once the pit is filled, the Liangshan army will have no obstacles on their way!

"Keep throwing!"

On the other side of the pit, Gao Lian and his troops had already set up a spear formation. They didn't flee; they just stood there quietly, as if preparing for a final battle.

"Gao Lian! Where is Lord Chai?!"

Lu Zhishen shouted loudly.

"Hmph, aren't you Liangshan people supposed to be very loyal? Go find him yourselves!"

Three hundred flying soldiers had already formed a battle formation around Gao Lian, and Gao Lian did not stop the Liangshan army from filling the pits.

"Let's see if you're still this stubborn once we catch you!"

"Then let me see if you can catch me."

Gao Lian sneered, and the three hundred flying soldiers took out a small object from their pockets, put it to their mouths, and began to blow out a sound!

"Woo——"

A desolate voice rang out on the battlefield, a voice that made many Liangshan warriors feel extremely uneasy! Even the shield formation was thrown into disarray.

"Don't panic, stay calm!"

Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue also found the sound Gao Lian and the others were making very unpleasant. They shook their heads and loudly reminded the soldiers not to panic!

Upon seeing this, Gao Lian sneered, drew his sword from his back, and muttered incantations.

"Heavenly Fiend King, your true form has descended!"

Three hundred flying soldiers behind him, while blowing a whistle, pulled out a bullet-shaped object from behind and threw it at the Liangshan army!

"Hold it! Hold it!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

These small projectiles exploded upon contact with the shields. Although they did not cause any harm to the Liangshan soldiers, the dust they produced was indeed choking!

"Cough cough cough, senior brother, what did Gao Lian just say?"

Deng Yuanjue choked so badly that tears and snot streamed down his face. He wiped them away casually and then asked Lu Zhishen.

"I don't know, I didn't hear clearly, never mind, it's just a bit of dust, let's keep filling the hole!"

Lu Zhishen wasn't much better off; both of them had headaches from choking on the phlegm.

"Ah! Ghost!"

Before the two men could react, they suddenly heard the soldiers behind them scream.

"What the hell?"

Lu Zhishen was somewhat displeased. He looked behind him, wanting to see which coward was speaking.

But when he turned around, he found that the soldiers behind him had lowered their shields at some point, and each of them was looking up at the sky with a look of terror on their faces.

"Commander! Look! There's a ghost!"

There were also soldiers, stretching out their hands, pointing shakily forward.

When Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue turned around, they were also stunned!

Ahead, a giant appeared, over ten feet tall, entirely crimson, with six eyes on its head, hair like poisonous snakes, a mouth full of fangs, and eight arms and four legs!

Those eight hands, each holding a different weapon!

Moreover, this giant looked down at them as if he wanted to devour them!

"What's this??"

Even though Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue were both hot-blooded, they were a little uneasy at this moment. Where was Gao Lian? How did a giant suddenly appear!

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, the giant suddenly roared at them!

"Woo——"

As the desolate sound rang out, everyone instinctively covered their ears. And along with the sound, the screams of the Liangshan soldiers also rang out!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue turned around and found that dozens of soldiers behind them had fallen to the ground!

Each of them had several arrows stuck in their bodies!

"No! It's an illusion! Raise your shields! Raise your shields!"

Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue immediately realized what was going on!

That giant? It's just a cheap illusion!

But the soldiers behind them were already terrified. As they frantically tried to raise their shields, dozens more were hit by arrows and fell to the ground!

"Gao Lian! You shameless bastard! What kind of skill is it to use illusion magic! If you have the guts, come out and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

Lu Zhishen was furious! Gao Lian's methods were truly exceptionally rare!

The giant seemed to hear Lu Zhishen's shout. He glanced at Lu Zhishen with his six eyes, then raised one hand and slashed down at Lu Zhishen with his broadsword!

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"

Lu Zhishen roared and raised his shield to meet the attack!

"Senior brother, get out of the way!"

But Deng Yuanjue pushed him away forcefully from the side!

"boom!"

A particularly thick log crashed between the two men, probably weighing several hundred pounds! If Deng Yuanjue hadn't pushed Lu Zhishen away, Lu Zhishen would have had to take the hit head-on, and even with his superhuman strength, he would probably have suffered a loss!

"Senior brother, this illusion is dangerous! Let's retreat! A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle!"

Deng Yuanjue didn't know why he had pushed Lu Zhishen away just now. Perhaps his intuition told him that he shouldn't have taken that blow head-on.

Fortunately, his intuition was right!

"Gao Lian brat, don't let me catch you!"

Lu Zhishen could only roar to vent his emotions. He had fought so many battles in all his years and had never suffered such a loss!

Just as the two were preparing to leave, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the city wall!

"Hmph! You evil fiends, how dare you disturb the clear and bright world! Gao Lian! You really don't know what's good for you!"

"That's right, Gao Lian! You dare to show off your illusion magic in front of us? Watch us break your pathetic illusion magic!"

With two clear shouts, two dragons, one white and one black, suddenly flew down from the city wall. The two dragons crossed and coiled, like a pair of giant scissors, cutting through the middle of the giant's body!

"Kacha——"

"Woo——"

After the giant's body was severed by the two dragons, it let out a mournful cry and then quickly dissipated into the air!

Everyone looked up and saw only Gao Lian's three hundred elite soldiers standing in the field, piled up like a human pyramid, with Gao Lian standing at the top, holding a red flag that had been broken in two.

He looked at the city wall with resentment and hatred in his eyes!

On the city tower, Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing stood on the left and right, their Taoist robes fluttering in the wind!
