Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Liangshan.

"How's the news from Sky Curtain?"

Ever since Ren Yuan announced his intention to attack Zengtou City, the entire Liangshan machine has been running day and night.

This was the first time that the entire Liangshan area felt the anger emanating from the chieftain.

"Almost clear."

Shi Qian and Ma Ling were reporting to Ren Yuan and the others.

"The current troop strength of Zengtou City is between 15,000 and 17,000 people. In front of the village, there is a main camp of more than 3,000 people guarding the entrance."

As Shi Qian and Ma Ling talked, they marked things on the map.

"Although the entrance to this village is an open area, the slopes on both sides are high enough to ambush people, and there should be traps dug there, but we don't know how many there are yet. Oh, by the way, brother, the main stronghold at the entrance of the village is under the command of Shi Wengong."

“Brother, this pit is probably to prevent cavalry charges. This time, the engineering battalion brothers need to bring enough sacks. If a pit is confirmed, fill the sacks with soil and then fill them in.”

Wen Huanzhang looked at the map with a serious expression.

"Yes, that's definitely necessary. Shi Qian, please continue."

“Besides the village entrance, Zengtou City has five other villages. The North Village is where Zeng Tu and his assistant teacher Su Ding lived. The South Village is where the second son Zeng Mi lived. The West Village is where the third son Zeng Suo lived. The East Village is where the fourth son Zeng Kui lived. The Central Village is where the fifth son Zeng Sheng lived and his father Zeng Nong Shouba lived.”

Shi Qian and Ma Ling then marked each of the different regions on the map.

"The way this village is built in Zengtou City looks like a tortoise."

Xiao Jiasui connected the six villages of Zengtou City on the paper, and yes, it did look like a turtle.

"Shi Wengong, confident in his strength, was stationed at the very front, while the five villages behind him were linked together and could support each other at any time. He was indeed quite capable."

Zhu Wu surveyed the entire situation and gave his assessment.

"A little bit, but not much."

Xiao Jiahui put down her pen and said to Ren Yuan:

"Brother, since we're prepared to fight them to the death, then there's no need to hold back. Of their six strongholds, apart from the central stronghold which is in Zengtou City, the remaining five are all on the outskirts. Since they have five strongholds, let's split into five groups and launch a simultaneous attack!"

"I agree. After all, we have 30,000 people this time. Even if we split into five groups, each group will still be a large force!"

"I agree too."

Gongsun Sheng and Qiao Daoqing indicated that it was possible.

"Five groups of people, the strategists have worked hard this time, one strategist for each group!"

Ren Yuan thought about it and felt that dividing the troops was not a bad idea, but it would require the strategists to work harder.

“That’s no problem. But brother, we might need to write a letter to General Huyan and ask him to keep an eye on the movements of the government troops in Dengzhou and other places. I’m afraid that Zengtou City might send government troops to attack us while our army is away.”

Zhu Wu said that splitting up the forces to fight is not a problem, but it is necessary to be wary of someone taking the opportunity to raid the base.

"Okay, I'll go write it right away. And I'll instruct the water army to keep a close watch on the water fortress until we return, and not to let a single suspicious person up the mountain!"

"Then issue the order, instructing all legions to prepare for battle and depart in two days!"

……

In the Liangshan Hall of Righteous Gathering, Wen Huanzhang was holding the list that had just been discussed and was selecting the generals:

"Wind Tiger Legion, the ever-victorious legion!"

"exist!"

Tang Bin and Yuan Lang stepped forward.

"You two units, attack Zengtou City's eastern stronghold! Military advisor Gongsun Sheng!"

"Leader!"

The two men accepted the order and went to prepare.

"Ma Fourth Regiment, Lieshan Army Corps, Infantry Eighth Regiment."

"exist!"

Shi Bao, Mi Sheng, and Shan Shiqi exchanged a glance and then came out as well.

"You three units, attack the western village of Zengtou City! Military advisor Qiao Daoqing!"

"Leader!"

"The Floating Pagoda Legion, the Vajra Legion, the Seventh Infantry Regiment."

"exist!"

Hu Yanzhuo, Lu Zhishen, and Deng Yuanjue stepped forward.

"You are to attack the southern village of Zengtou City! Military advisor Zhu Wu!"

"Yes!"

"Fifth Regiment of the Horse Army! Seventh Regiment of the Horse Army! Tenglong Legion!"

Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, and Sun An stepped forward.

"You are to attack Beizhai of Zengtou City! Military advisor Wang Yin!"

"The rest of you, Po Jun, Sheng Wu, and Bu Jiu, will follow your brother and attack Shi Wengong's main camp! Military advisor Xiao Jiasui will accompany you!"

"After breaking through the five villages, the five groups of troops will surround their central village, ensuring that not even a fly escapes!"

With five groups of troops deployed effectively, Liangshan truly boasts a strong and well-equipped force this time! The entire army is fighting with utmost dedication, and five strategists have been mobilized at once! This is Liangshan's largest operation in recent years!

Wen Huanzhang and Bian Xiang were stationed at the Liangshan camp to ensure the safety of the stronghold and to coordinate logistics.

Two days later, everything was ready, and the group descended the mountain. They did not commit any offenses along the way, and the passing prefectures and counties all gave way to the Liangshan army.

Are you kidding me? There are tens of thousands of troops like this, who would dare to go out and stop them? Would they be courting death?

As for Zengtou City's letter of appeal?

Don't be ridiculous. Everyone around here knows about this group of Jurchens from Zengtou City. Everyone's hoping they'll be dealt with as soon as possible!

Now that Liangshan is willing to step forward, everyone is very happy, so why would they go to help them!

Because the journey was smooth, the Liangshan forces quickly arrived at Zengtou City and, as previously planned, split into five groups.

Ren Yuan led his men to inspect the main village in front of Zengtou City.

This fortified village is indeed very well built, making perfect use of the geographical advantages. Moreover, the village gate is very sturdy, with barricades, traps, and arrow towers. It really looks like something a knowledgeable person would do.

"Junior brother, is Shi Wengong here?"

Lu Junyi was naturally following Ren Yuan, and as soon as he arrived at the main camp, he was eager to challenge them.

"Second Senior Brother, don't rush. Don't show yourself yet, or I'm afraid Shi Wengong will get scared and run away!"

Ren Yuan wasn't sure about Shi Wengong's personality, so he was afraid that Shi Wengong would be intimidated by his side's lineup and run away.

"Fan Rui, Tie Ta, can the Shengwu Regiment take down this village?"

"Brother, just give the order! The Iron Tower brothers can't wait any longer!"

Ren Yuan followed Fan Rui's finger and looked over. Good heavens, Iron Tower was now wearing a thick plate armor, with only a slit in his helmet for his eyes. He was holding two machetes the size of door panels. He looked like a war machine!

"Listen up, you over there! I am Ren Yuan from Liangshan! The one in charge over there, come out and answer me!!"

Ren Yuan was also excited by the Iron Tower equipment. He rode the Jade Lion of the Night into battle and roared at Shi Wengong's main camp!

This roar was so powerful that it silenced the village on the other side. It wasn't until Ren Yuan couldn't help but roar again that a reply came from the other side.

"This is Zengtou City. I'd like to ask the brothers of Liangshan, what brings you here?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Who are you? State your name!"

Ren Yuan didn't waste any words.

"Bibala Shiwengong!"

"Chief Ren, if the Liangshan brothers are just passing through, I can provide them with food and drink. We are all neighbors, so let's value harmony!"

"Shi Wengong! You're the one I've been looking for! If you've got the guts, come out here!"

"You have the guts to rob my Liangshan horses, but not the guts to come out and confront me?!"
