Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Luozhou City.

The largest city in Jeollanam-do.

It must be said that Wang Yu was quite capable; he imitated the Song Dynasty very well, and many of his major cities were basically built based on the Song Dynasty's city designs.

Moreover, Wang Yu was willing to invest heavily in the construction of the great city!

He truly deserves to be called one of the more famous monarchs in Goryeo history. Putting aside everything else, his imitation skills are truly impressive!

The Liangshan troops had reached a gentle slope about ten miles outside Luozhou.

Looking from the slope, the city of Luozhou is indeed quite large.

"Ling Zhen".

Faced with this situation, Ren Yuan and Mo Shifang made a simple telescope called "Thousand-Mile Eye" and observed it for a while before directly calling out to Ling Zhen.

"Brother, I'm here."

Ling Zhen immediately perked up.

"Can you blast this city open with your Thunder Cannon?"

Ling Zhen also picked up a pair of telescopes and looked at them, then said to Ren Yuan:

“Brother, breaking through the city is no problem, but our Thunder Cannon needs time to assemble. If we push it over after it’s assembled, we’ll need the other brothers to cover us, or we can launch a surprise attack under cover of night.”

"Hmm...you mean, we should just bring our troops to the city gates and then open fire?"

Ren Yuan understood Ling Zhen's meaning.

"Yes, but if we do that, these Koreans will likely recognize us as people from the Song Dynasty."

When they attacked Kyushu Island, the people on the island still didn't quite understand where Liangshan came from. In the end, they could only say that it was a god descending to earth.

But it was different for Goryeo. If Liangshan had charged out and formed ranks, the Goryeo people would have immediately recognized them as Song troops!

"We've exposed our identities..."

Ren Yuan thought about it briefly and quickly made a decision.

Liangshan didn't want to reveal their identities before because they were afraid that some of the Japanese would slip through the net and go to the Song Dynasty to complain, which would anger the Song court and lead to an attack on Liangshan first.

But to be honest, Liangshan now has an overseas base, so even if their identities are exposed and they are recognized, it doesn't matter.

"It's okay, so what if we get exposed? We'll get exposed sooner or later anyway."

“Brother, that’s true, but we still need to find a reason.”

Xu Guanzhong then stepped forward and offered Ren Yuan some advice:

"How about this, we'll tell the Goryeo people that it's because Wang Yu is disloyal to the Song Dynasty, secretly colluding with the Liao Dynasty, and intends to destroy the Song Dynasty. So the Song Dynasty sent us here only to punish Wang Yu and his cronies. Those who are unwilling to serve Wang Yu can surrender immediately!"

"Guanzhong, you mean you have a legitimate reason for your actions, right?"

Ren Yuan immediately realized what was going on.

“Yes, brother, we’ve played the role of the Song Dynasty’s government troops more than once or twice, so one more time won’t make a difference.”

Xu Guanzhong said, "Let the Song court take the blame!"

"Moreover, Lao Xiao and I discussed this method yesterday, and he also thought it was appropriate."

"Korea itself is not a monolithic entity. Although Wang Yu has done a good job, as far as I know, there are some people who intend to rebel against him."

"If we fight Wang Yu in the name of the Song Dynasty's imperial army, those who are dissatisfied with Wang Yu will definitely take the opportunity to rise up in rebellion, and the whole of Goryeo will surely be in chaos. At that time, it will only be more advantageous for us!"

Xu Guanzhong's words made Ren Yuan nod repeatedly. Look, this is what a strategist is!

Xiao Jiasui left early this morning with Lu Junyi and others because of the division of forces. Considering the factors of combat balance and fire support, Ren Yuan let Pang Wanchun go with Lu Junyi. After all, with Ling Zhen there, Ren Yuan's side had enough fire support.

With Xiao Jiahui gone, Xu Guanzhong naturally had to stay by Ren Yuan's side.

"If you two both think it's okay, then let's do it this way."

As for tactical arrangements, Ren Yuan mainly relied on his strategist. He had Xiao Jiasui and Xu Guanzhong under his command, which was no less than Liu Bei having Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong. In this situation, one should not think too much and just do whatever the strategist says.

As for impersonating Song Dynasty soldiers, Ren Yuan was already used to it.

Zhao Xiaoji, you'd better take the blame for this!

After giving the orders, everyone immediately began preparations. In fact, there was not much preparation needed, because the remaining men on Ren Yuan's side, apart from Fan Rui and the Iron Pagoda's Shengwu Legion, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Yang Zhi, and Lu Zhishen, were all former officers of the Great Song Dynasty!

Even Ling Zhen of the Divine Machine Legion, although he was only in the armory, was still an officer!

Therefore, under these circumstances, it is reasonable for Ren Yuan to say that he was leading the Song Dynasty's official army!

……

The city walls of Luozhou.

Garrison Commander Park Guk-chang's eyelids have been twitching all day.

The routine patrol team he sent out yesterday had not returned by this morning, which made Park Guk-chang somewhat suspicious.

Of course, Jeollanam-do is quite large, and if the patrolmen slack off or go off to have some fun, it will cause them to return later.

This kind of situation has happened before, so Park Guk-chang didn't think much of it last night.

But this morning, for some reason, from the moment he left home, his eyelids kept twitching, as if something was definitely going to happen!

This question was answered when Park Guk-chang saw a fully armed army suddenly appear on the plain about five miles in front of Naju City.

"Enemy attack? Enemy attack! Close the gates! Close the gates!"

Park Guk-chang quickly ordered the city gates to be closed!

Good heavens, when did such a powerful army arrive in Jeolla Province? How come he knew nothing about it?

If that's the case, then yesterday's patrol team should be gone by now...

"Everyone on alert!"

The entire city wall of Luozhou was filled with tension upon seeing the imposing military might of the Liangshan army, and the soldiers inside the city rushed up the city wall to prepare for defense.

But what puzzled them was that this unknown force didn't charge towards the city wall in one fell swoop, but moved in an orderly manner. It didn't look like an enemy attack at all.

"Sir, these people are dressed just like us!"

Most of the armor used by Liangshan came from the spoils and trade of various prefectures and counties, and when Tang Long led his men to forge it, it was basically made according to the standard armor.

On the Goryeo side, their armor was mostly bought from the Song Dynasty or made by themselves. However, due to the scarcity of resources, their own imitation armor was of the kind that was made with inferior materials. Most of the armor that they bought was in the hands of Wang Yu.

However, this did not prevent the local garrison of Goryeo from wearing armor similar to that of the Song Dynasty.

However, the garrison in Jeolla, like the people who lived there in later generations, always liked to make some ridiculous mistakes, like grandfathers acting like grandsons!

What does it mean that Liangshan people dressed like them?

"Song, Song army?"

Park Guk-chang wasn't as foolish as his men. When he heard that the armor was similar, he strained his eyes to look at the approaching army. Although he couldn't quite understand what was written on the army's flags, the characters were clearly Chinese characters from the Central Plains dynasty!

What? Aren't Chinese characters from Goryeo?

Nonsense! Where did Korea get Chinese characters? They were all introduced by King Yu in recent years!

Park Guk-chang had only one huge question in his mind!

"Why has the Song Dynasty's army arrived?"
