Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The murderous aura emanating from the blade made Chao Gai tremble.

This usually tough and resolute man felt for the first time how fragile his life was.

"Stop it, everyone!!!"

Ren Yuan continued to control Chao Gai, and at the same time shouted loudly!

"return to!"

Guanghui swung his bronze cudgel, knocking away several knives and axes. Mi Sheng also swung his axe a few times, forcing Lei Heng and Liu Tang back.

"Ren Yuan! Release the village head!"

Wu Yong and the others were extremely nervous. What would they do if Chao Gai were gone?

Although there are many people in Chao Family Village, not many of them listen to Wu Yong!

If Chao Gai is gone, this whole situation will be in chaos!

"Ren Yuan! Chao Baozheng cannot be harmed, otherwise you will be openly defying the imperial court!"

Lei Heng was also on high alert. If Chao Gai died in this fight, he would definitely be punished when he returned to Yuncheng.

Two constables from Yuncheng led several hundred men, but not only did they fail to capture the bandits, they also caused the death of a local headman. How shameful!

If Chao Gai dies here today, Lei Heng will have to go home and continue being a butcher tomorrow.

"Pah! Do you think I'm easily scared?"

Ren Yuan rolled his eyes at Lei Heng:

"We've already killed one village headman in Liangshan, so what's one more? Besides, village headmen aren't even considered government officials! Do you think I don't know that?"

"Chao Gai, have you thought this through?"

Ren Yuan turned his head and asked.

"I want to...live..."

Chao Gai really wanted to say that he wasn't afraid of death, but Ren Yuan didn't give him that option.

There are only two options: wanting to die or wanting to live!

Who would choose to die?

"Alright, get up and stand over here."

Ren Yuan kept his three-pronged dagger close to Chao Gai's throat, kicked the dagger out of his hand, and then gestured for Chao Gai to behave.

Chao Gai had already suffered internal injuries and was unable to resist. He could only obediently stand up, walk up to Ren Yuan, and be taken hostage.

There was nothing he could do if he didn't behave; the sharp edge of the three-pronged dagger was right in front of his throat!

"Let go of Brother Chao Gai!"

But just as Chao Gai walked up to Ren Yuan, suddenly, something unexpected happened!

Li Kui, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly sprang up and pounced on Chao Gai!

This move was truly unexpected; at least Chao Gai's men hadn't anticipated it.

"Li Kui, how dare you!"

However, Ren Yuan and his men were particularly vigilant. Ren Yuan pulled Chao Gai back a large step to avoid Li Kui's hand!

Mi Sheng frowned! He swung his arm and swept his great axe across Li Kui the instant he moved!

"laugh!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out! Half a blackened arm, accompanied by blood, shot skyward!

"Li Kui!"

Chao Gai was incredulous when he saw this!

Liu Tang and the others were heartbroken and quickly dragged Li Kui back!

I also took the other half of the arm back with me.

"Brother, I, Tie Niu, owe you nothing!"

Although Li Kui was a tough guy, he couldn't stop the pain from losing half an arm.

After managing to say those words, Li Kui fainted from the pain.

"Take him downstairs and bandage him! Make sure the wound is properly bandaged!"

Wu Yong quickly ordered the servants to take Li Kui away, and then he shouted to Ren Yuan:

"Ren Yuan, you owe us an explanation!"

"An explanation? You've already set up a trap, what explanation do I have for you? You've already been lenient by only making Li Kui lose half an arm! Now, let the three of us leave the manor!"

Ren Yuan looked at Li Kui, who had become crippled, without feeling the slightest bit emotional.

Li Kui was a bloodthirsty man who indiscriminately killed innocent people, sparing neither the elderly nor children. As for Mi Sheng cutting off half of his arm, Ren Yuan felt it was nothing.

It's just that that axe blow was a little off-target; otherwise, Li Kui's head would be gone.

"Commander Lei, what should we do?"

Wu Yong asked Lei Heng anxiously, completely losing his usual strategist's demeanor.

"Aren't you the strategist? You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

In response to Wu Yong's question, Lei Heng retorted with some displeasure.

If you hadn't said it was foolproof, I wouldn't have come today!

"Stop talking nonsense, my brother said that the three of us should leave the village."

Having just crippled Li Kui, Mi Sheng is now in high spirits and can't wait to cripple another person!

"Release the village head first!"

“Amitabha Buddha, monks do not lie. Once we reach the village entrance and are safe, we will naturally release them.”

Guanghui also held a bronze staff horizontally, guarding the other side of Renyuan.

"Look, these people all care about you, Chao Gai, what do you say?"

Ren Yuan asked Chao Gai directly.

"All of you, step back! Let those three leave the manor!"

Chao Gai was naturally touched by the concern shown to him by his brothers, but he also knew that he could not confront Ren Yuan directly, otherwise, if Ren Yuan slipped, he would lose his life.

A true man can bend and stretch! Ren Yuan, you win this round!

"But the village head..."

Lei Heng was getting anxious. If he left the village like this, he would definitely be scolded to death when he got back today.

"Don't worry, Captain! Have you forgotten that Captain Zhu is out there with his men? Let them leave the village, release the headman first, and they'll definitely run into Captain Zhu's troops! Then we'll lead our men and charge in! They'll have nowhere to escape! And we also have reinforcements from Jizhou! They can't escape!"

Wu Yong seemed to have realized what was happening and quickly whispered something in Lei Heng's ear.

Lei Heng listened and nodded repeatedly. That's right! You're a genius, so you have to do this kind of thing. If you don't come up with ideas, do you expect me, a roughneck, to do it?

"Fine! But you have to keep your word!"

"You can rest assured about what Liangshan does! Once you're out of the village and it's safe, we'll naturally release you!"

Ren Yuan signaled Chao Gai to set off, with Mi Sheng and Guang Hui acting as his guards on either side.

Wu Yong and his men kept a certain distance from them, and the two groups of people kept an eye on each other as they slowly moved until they arrived at the entrance of Chao Family Village.

"Ren Yuan, can we release them now?"

Wu Yong asked loudly.

"Open the gates, and then bring our horses!"

Ren Yuan did not hesitate at all and directly asked for horses.

"Open the gate and give them the horses!"

Wu Yong gave the order, and then warned Ren Yuan:

"Don't try anything funny, or I'll fight you to the death."

After the gates of the manor were opened, Wu Yong and the others discovered that there was a team of nearly a hundred people outside the manor, all armed with swords and spears and ready to go.

"Welcome, Chieftain!"

These hundred men were the ones Ren Yuan had previously transferred from the First Battalion and assigned to the vicinity of Chao Family Village. Upon hearing the commotion inside the village, they quickly assembled at the main gate.

Ren Yuan and his two companions then joined Chao Gai and the hundred men.

"Ren Yuan! You have no martial ethics! You even had an ambush!"

Wu Yong felt his mind couldn't keep up with the sudden situation. Wait a minute, where are Ren Yuan's ambush troops?

"Bullshit! These are just brothers who came to pick me up and take me back to the mountain! It's perfectly reasonable for a chieftain like me to have brothers come to pick me up when I return to the mountain!"

Looking at Wu Yong's appearance and then thinking of Zhu Wu on his own mountain, Ren Yuan couldn't help but feel emotional.

Only a brilliant strategist like Shenji is truly reliable! The wise and resourceful one is really useless.

"Commander Lei, where is Commander Zhu?"

Wu Yong was anxious. In his opinion, if Ren Yuan and the other two were only three people, he would have a good chance of capturing them if the whole village attacked together.

Now that they have troops, and without reinforcements, they're doomed to lose today!

"I do not know either!"

Lei Heng was also bewildered. What was going on? The Liangshan troops were outside? Where was Zhu Tong?

Just as Wu Yong and the others were pondering, suddenly, dust began to rise on the road in the direction of Yuncheng, and shouts and running sounds were constantly approaching Chao Family Village!

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong immediately burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha!"

Why is the professor laughing?

Liu Tang was startled by Wu Yong's sudden laughter and frowned as he asked.

Wu Yong felt like he was invincible again!

He said smugly to Ren Yuan:

"Did you hear that, Ren Yuan? Our reinforcements have arrived! And let me tell you, it's Zhu, the head constable of Yuncheng, leading the team himself! Today, neither you nor your hundred henchmen will escape!"

Just as Wu Yong finished speaking, more than twenty riders suddenly rushed out from the road and arrived in front of Chao Family Village in a few moments. They were covered in blood and looked like they had been through a fierce battle.

Because of the heavy dust on the dirt road, faces were not clearly visible, but it seemed that the burly man in the lead had another person on his horse.

As the group approached, the burly man in the lead grabbed the person behind him and threw him forcefully to the ground!

"Brother! I've already broken through the reinforcements from Yuncheng. This is their captain! I've come to report back!"

This burly man was none other than Yuan Lang, the Red-Faced Tiger, commander of the First Battalion of the Liangshan Infantry!

The man thrown to the ground had his hands bound, but he had a magnificent beard and was dressed as Guan Yu, so he must be Zhu Tong, the cavalry commander of Yuncheng County.

"Haha, Brother Yuan Lang, you've done a great job!"

Ren Yuan laughed loudly, then looked at Wu Yong and asked in return:

"Wu Yong, is this the reinforcement you spoke of?"
