Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Nighttime in Zengtou City.

Zeng Nong, the four tigers of the Zeng family, Shi Wengong, and Su Ding all gathered together.

Except for Zeng Nong, everyone's face was covered with the marks of gunpowder.

Zeng Sheng took over from his fourth brother today to guard the East Village. He was forced to set fire to the city repeatedly in order to barely keep the East Village from falling.

However, due to the continuous fires, the city wall on the east side of the village was already on the verge of collapse, so it could be said that the village had been lost.

"Master, is the information from those people at Fahua Temple accurate? Didn't they say Liangshan was going to launch a night attack tomorrow? Why are they fighting so fiercely today?"

Zeng Tu had a cut on his left arm, which was shot by Hua Rong's arrow today. Fortunately, he dodged it and didn't break any bones, so he can still fight.

"I'm not entirely sure, but the monks at Fahua Temple should be fine. They're all from Zengtou City, and they certainly wouldn't defect after just one trip to the Liangshan camp."

After being beaten and forced to flee yesterday, Shi Wengong is now serving as a firefighter in the remaining villages, rushing to wherever he is needed!

And you know what? His performance, as a top-tier fighter, actually had an effect. The fact that Liangshan didn't break through another stronghold today is inextricably linked to Shi Wengong's performance.

Moreover, today he personally beat Tang Bin's deputy general Cui Ye and Shi Bao's deputy general Deng Fei into serious injury. If it weren't for the fact that Liangshan had more people and that Lu Junyi kept chasing and beating Shi Wengong, these two might have lost their lives.

"I wonder how the second brother is doing now."

After Zeng Mi was captured, Zeng Nong was constantly on edge. He even considered making peace and offering Liangshan some money to exchange for his second son.

"Don't worry, sir. I know Liangshan. They have a rule in the underworld that prisoners of war should be treated well. The second brother is with them, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Shi Wengong comforted Zeng Nong, explaining that he had originally intended to capture one or two deputy generals from Liangshan to exchange for his second disciple, but who would have thought that Liangshan would have Lu Junyi follow him all the way? He had barely arrived at one place when Lu Junyi caught his scent and came after him.

"Everyone, take a good rest and confirm the ambush plan for tomorrow. As long as we ambush them properly tomorrow, Liangshan will be nothing to fear!"

Su Ding also comforted everyone, saying that to be honest, Beizhai should have been the most fortified village, because it had two experts, him and Zeng Tu, as well as the most soldiers.

Today, Liangshan actually dispatched a general in the northern stronghold who was similar to Shi Wengong. He wielded his two swords as if they were nothing!

The elite infantry he trained was slaughtered by that one man today, with more than 500 men killed!

In the end, they were forced to retreat again.

"Your second master is right. If Liangshan launches a night attack tomorrow night, we will make sure they don't return alive! Their losses will be devastating!"

"As for tomorrow morning, regardless of whether Liangshan fights or not, we will not engage in battle and will preserve our strength!"

Shi Wengong finalized the strategy and signaled everyone to go and rest.

"Brother, why haven't you left yet?"

Shi Wengong was somewhat surprised to see that Su Ding had not left.

Su Ding had been his deputy for four or five years. Although they weren't exactly brothers who would die for each other, they had a pretty good relationship.

"Wen Gong, is the night raid tomorrow night really going to succeed?"

Su Ding took a deep breath and then spoke.

"Whether it succeeds or not, we have to give it a shot!"

Shi Wengong's attitude was very firm.

"What if we lose?"

"If we lose, we'll go with the master to the Great Jin. Oh, you might not know, but the Jurchens are about to establish a state, and its name is Great Jin!"

Shi Wengong had already planned his escape route.

"Go to Dajin?"

Su Ding was somewhat surprised.

"What, you don't want to?"

Shi Wengong looked at Su Ding, his deputy, who, although he had been in Zengtou City for several years, was actually quite mysterious.

All the people in Zengtou City knew was that he had once been a low-ranking military officer in the imperial court, and after offending his superior, he went out to roam the martial arts world, but no one knew exactly where he was.

Moreover, Su Ding has never mentioned his past much.

Of course, this is not a problem. Shi Wengong did not tell many people about his past. In the entire Zengtou City, only Zeng Nong knew about it.

"As you know, I have served in the imperial court, so if it comes to surrendering to the Jin dynasty, I probably won't go."

Su Ding made his point clear from the start.

"If you don't want to go to the Great Jin, where do you want to go? Liangshan, perhaps?"

Shi Wengong laughed. "Su Ding, what you're saying doesn't make any sense at all."

"I'm not going anymore. I'm retiring and going back to my hometown. I've accumulated quite a bit of wealth over the years. I'll go back to my hometown, buy a farm, and become a rich man."

Su Ding looked at the map of Zengtou City and shook his head slightly.

“A wealthy man, huh… that’s fine. Don’t worry, I won’t tell the master. But if I ever pass by your estate in the future, you’ll have to treat me to a drink.”

Shi Wengong patted Su Ding on the shoulder. Everyone has their own ambitions, and there's no need to force it. Su Ding is undoubtedly his deputy, but his unwillingness to go to Da Jin is his own choice, and Shi Wengong respects that choice.

"Okay, I definitely will."

Su Ding looked at Shi Wengong, smiled, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

At the second watch of the night, a group of people suddenly appeared outside Fahua Temple in Zengtou City!

This group, all dressed in black, with gags in their mouths and horses with their hooves wrapped, stealthily crept in along the path. It was the Liangshan night raiding army led by Ren Yuan.

The one leading the group was none other than the monk from Fahua Temple.

However, at this moment, his condition was clearly not right. He was pale, weak in his limbs, and had a piece of foot binding stuffed in his mouth. He was being carried at the front by several strong soldiers.

"Master, it seems you still know what's good for you and didn't lead me astray."

Ren Yuan patted the master's face and said with a cold smile.

I was originally planning to communicate with this master in a polite manner, but who would have thought that this guy would actually try to sneak out of the military camp this afternoon to report to Zengtou City.

That would be courting death, so Ren Yuan wouldn't be polite to him. After Deng Yuanjue and the others tortured the master, he couldn't take it anymore and immediately confessed everything.

Then, in order to save his life, this master decisively chose to guide the Liangshan army. In his words, he abandoned darkness and turned to light!

However, Ren Yuan did not completely believe him, so he sent someone to gag him and watch him, making him point the way with his finger. Moreover, after each point, he would have Shi Qian lead the best soldiers of the Tianmu Camp to personally confirm it.

However, Ren Yuan seemed to have overestimated the monk. He thought the guy would deliberately give them the wrong directions, but to his surprise, he actually led them to Fahua Temple.

"Brother, it's confirmed. There are indeed ambush points and traps in this area. We've marked the locations of all of them."

Shi Qian returned, bringing with him a map that had been completely marked.

"Good, brothers, proceed according to plan. Those who want to ambush, ambush; those who want to fill in the traps, fill in the traps; the rest of you, follow me and kill them all, wipe out these bastards from Zengtou City!"

Ren Yuan pulled a signal flare from his pocket, and with a "whoosh," it soared into the sky! It then exploded with a "bang!"

"Liangshan Army! Attack!!!"
