Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Attack Zengtou City? Count me in!"

Lu Junyi had just told his master about Shi Wengong's situation, and he never expected that the opportunity would come so soon!

"It just so happens that I need to pay for what happened back then! Junior brother, give me a team of men, and I'll take care of that Shi Wengong for you!"

Lu Junyi said to Ren Yuan.

"Oh dear, that won't do. The master is a guest from afar; how can we let him lead troops?"

Xiao Jiahui quickly spoke up from the side.

"What's wrong, Military Advisor Xiao? Is there something amiss?"

"It's not that it's inappropriate, sir, it's just not suitable."

Xiao Jiahui explained to Lu Junyi.

“We, the leaders of Liangshan, are different from those of the imperial court. The generals of the imperial court need to be rotated and transferred frequently, so the soldiers do not know their generals and the generals do not know their soldiers. But Liangshan is different. The generals of Liangshan all have their own troops under their command.”

"Therefore, it's not convenient to transfer someone to the master in the short term."

"Huh? That's how it is in Liangshan, every general has his own troops?"

Lu Junyi was very surprised; this was much better than the imperial court!

"Yes, Master Lu. But if you want to go, it's not impossible, but you'll have to make do with a little trouble."

Xiao Jiahui smiled broadly, with the air of a weasel who had successfully stolen a chicken.

"Strategist Xiao, tell me what I should do?"

Lu Junyi really wanted to attack Zengtou City, so he was eager to know how to join Liangshan.

“Master Lu, my brother has a personal guard. If you don’t mind, you can temporarily join the guard and go on a mission with my brother.”

Xiao Jiahui explained her plan, and everyone understood immediately.

The strategist is worried about his brother's safety!

If a master of Lu Junyi's caliber were to accompany us as a bodyguard, then my brother's safety would be completely assured this time!

"Protect my junior brother? No problem!"

Lu Junyi thought he was going to do something serious, but it turned out to be just protecting his junior brother. What was the big deal?

"Master, you must not underestimate your enemy. This Zengtou City is guarded by the unparalleled master Shi Wengong..."

Xiao Jiahui wanted to continue speaking, but Lu Junyi interrupted her directly!

"Don't worry, strategist Xiao. It's just a matter of being at the top. Who isn't?"

"Moreover, I have a score to settle with Shi Wengong! If he wants to harm my junior brother, he'll have to get over me first!"

Lu Junyi's words were so domineering that one couldn't help but admire that he truly deserved to be called the number one outlaw in the Song Dynasty!

"Okay, then I have no objection."

Xiao Jiahui immediately replied, "Since you, Master Lu, have said so, then you should keep your word."

"Do you think Lao Xiao did that on purpose just now?"

Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing exchanged a glance and began to whisper in each other's ears.

"I think he's definitely... this guy, he's sly and wicked."

Qiao Daoqing agreed.

"Great! With Senior Brother's help, we're even more powerful this time!"

Ren Yuan was quite willing to have Lu Junyi as an ally.

Then he continued:

"This trip to Zengtou City is different from the past. This Zengtou City has 10,000 to 20,000 troops, and they are all Jurchens. They are brave, fierce, and very barbaric!"

"Furthermore, they killed so many of our Liangshan brothers this time. This time, we will make the entire Zengtou City pay a bloody price!"

"I don't want prisoners! This time, I'm going to raze Zengtou City to the ground!"

This was the first time Ren Yuan, who had kept the chieftain in captivity for so long, had shown such a ruthless side! For a moment, no one in the entire assembly hall dared to utter a word!

"Fan Rui, Tie Ta, Xiang Chong, Li Gun!"

Ren Yuan first called out the names of four people, who were the four leaders of Shengwu Camp who had been training the troops since they came up the mountain!

"What are your orders, brother?"

The four people stood up in unison and spoke to Ren Yuan.

"How is the Shengwu Legion doing?"

"Brother, the Shengwu Army of 1,500 men has been formed and is sure to win any battle!"

Fan Rui said.

"Good! This attack on Zengtou City will be the first battle for the Shengwu Legion! Fight it well! Show your might!"

"I will definitely not let my brother down!"

Fan Rui and the others were also very excited. After being on the mountain for so long, their army was the only one that had gained a banner without any merit, and at the same time, they expanded their army along with the main force.

Although it was because of the Wei Wuzu back then, it has made the brothers of the Shengwu Legion hold their breath for a long time!

We have the best equipment and the best training methods, so our combat record must also be the best!

"All troops prepare for battle! The six legions of the Ma Army—Wind Tiger, Thunderbolt, Ma Fourth, Ma Fifth, Ma Seventh, and Floating Pagoda—are fully equipped for combat!"

This time, Ren Yuan was truly enraged. Apart from Xu Ning's Golden Spear Legion and Yang Zhi's Ma Liu in Jeju, the rest of the cavalry was mobilized!

This can be said to be the first time that the Liangshan cavalry has launched a full-scale attack!

The reason for doing this is that Zengtou City also has a large number of cavalry, with several thousand horses. If Zengtou City is captured this time, the Liangshan cavalry will undergo another qualitative change!

"Don't worry, brother! The Liangshan cavalry is the strongest!"

As the commander of the first regiment of Liangshan's cavalry, Tang Bin took the lead in declaring that the cavalry would fight with all their might this time!

In fact, Tang Bin had been holding back a lot of anger lately. Guan Sheng had been in the labor camp for a while, and Tang Bin had tried to find him during that time, but he was like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard, which made Tang Bin very angry!

Tang Bin needed to vent his anger during this attack on Zengtou City!

"Six infantry regiments have also been deployed! Changsheng, Tenglong, Jingang, the 7th Infantry Regiment, the 8th Infantry Regiment, and the 9th Infantry Regiment!"

On the infantry side, this time they also brought out their five strongest combat forces. The five legion commanders were Yuan Lang, Sun An, Lu Zhishen, Deng Yuanjue, Shan Shiqi, and Wu Song.

"Three regiments of the Imperial Guard have been dispatched: Po Jun, Lie Shan, and Sheng Wu!"

"As ordered!"

Lin Chong, representing the Imperial Guard, indicated that he accepted the order.

"Sky Curtain, Engineering, and Rejuvenation—each deploy one battalion! As logistics!"

"As you command, brother!"

Shi Qian, Tao Zongwang, and Hu Sanniang also stepped forward and spoke at the same time.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll go this time too."

An Daoquan further stated that he would also step in this time to minimize the losses for everyone.

"The rest of the troops shall remain to guard the area!"

This time, Ren Yuan didn't bring Bian Xiang with him because when the army set off, someone from the Liangshan stronghold's top fighting force needed to stay and guard the main camp. Bian Xiang had just recently broken through to the next level, so he was left behind to keep watch!

"Fifteen regiments have been deployed..."

When Wen Huanzhang and the others heard Ren Yuan calling out names as if they were free, they understood that their brother was serious this time!

It should be noted that the cavalry had six regiments, including Huyan Zhuo's Futu, which consisted of two thousand heavily armored soldiers, making a total of ten thousand men!

The infantry consisted of six corps, totaling 12,000 men.

The Guards consisted of three regiments with more than 5,000 men, and the Logistics Department consisted of three battalions with more than 1,500 men!

Liangshan mobilized nearly 30,000 men this time! This was an unprecedented scene!

"Brother, this battle is no small matter. Give Tianmu three days to let them find out more about the situation in Zengtou City!"

"Ping Zengtou City is no problem, but the key is to level Zengtou City with minimal casualties!"

These men are the capital that Liangshan has accumulated over the past few years!

Faced with such a large-scale operation, Wen Huanzhang said that it is still necessary to be cautious.

"Yes, I understand that, Senior Brother Wang."

Ren Yuan nodded. Of course he knew the situation, and he wouldn't joke about the wealth he had painstakingly accumulated.

"The chieftain gave the order."

Wang Jin is also very serious at this moment.

How many reserve soldiers can be mobilized right now?

"Ten thousand people."

"Not enough, Senior Brother Wang. After we finish the battle of Zengtou City, Yang Zhi's side should be almost finished as well. I need you to train at least 20,000 reserve soldiers for me, ready to expand the army at any time. Is that alright?"

Liangshan currently doesn't have a particularly large number of soldiers. There are 10,000 in Jizhou, 30,000 in this operation, and more than 10,000 naval and infantry troops left behind, totaling only about 60,000.

The territory is getting bigger and bigger, and these 60,000 people are not enough!

"Time is a bit tight, but no problem!"

Wang Jin was also very serious. He could sense that his junior brother was different now!

"Alright, Shi Qian, Ma Ling, three days! I need the most detailed intelligence on Zengtou City right now! The accuracy of your intelligence this time is related to the fate of 30,000 brothers. Do you, Tianmu, have any problems with this?"

"No! Brother, if there's anything wrong with the intelligence, we'll both come back with our heads!"
