Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Fifteen chariots were conspicuously deployed from the Liangshan army!

The opposite tower was the most powerful siege weapon on the ancient battlefield!

This giant siege weapon is almost as tall as the city wall. Its basic structure consists of three layers: upper, middle and lower. The skilled craftsmen of the Liangshan Divine Machine Legion made certain improvements to it.

The lowest level is the action level. This level has the largest area and the most soldiers, who are mostly tall, strong, and muscular men responsible for pushing the cart forward.

To protect them, this level had three thick walls, the outermost layer covered with iron plates to withstand arrows, rolling stones, and other defensive siege weapons. It also had numerous wheels to allow the soldiers inside to push it out.

The middle layer is the suppression layer. Liangshan has deployed more than a dozen crossbowmen on this layer. These crossbowmen hide in the second layer and, with the cover of the building walls, can fire arrows at the city wall from close range using their light crossbows to suppress the firepower on the city wall and also reduce the pressure on the brothers on the action layer below.

The top floor of these two buildings is the core of the entire vehicle – the combat floor.

The Liangshan battle formation can accommodate fifty fully armed infantrymen, each a master of close combat! They are all clad in armor and armed with weapons.

This level is equipped with enormous and sturdy ramps. Once the tower advances close enough to the city wall, the soldiers on the combat level will lower the ramps and place them on the wall, then easily scale the enemy's walls with the ramps! After a fierce battle, they will seize control of the tower!

Therefore, on ancient battlefields, the tower earned the nickname of "one of the strongest siege weapons".

However, this thing is not without its drawbacks. On the contrary, for many armies, it is an extremely difficult thing to equip them with weapons.

Because although this thing is incredibly imposing and has tremendous attack power, it is simply too enormous!

Being too large meant that manufacturing was difficult and transportation was even more difficult. Therefore, most armies had to manufacture such buildings using materials found on-site before the battle.

Moreover, the lifespan of the tower was too short. Once it was built, it would be useless after conquering one city, and the soldiers could not possibly push the tower to the next city.

The abandoned buildings opposite each other were either demolished and sent for firewood, used as tools for cleaning the city, or completely reduced to decorations.

The advantage of the Liangshan towers is that they are detachable. After use, all parts can be removed, cleaned, and then collected and sorted by the Divine Machine Legion. They can be used again next time, and they are also convenient to transport!

At this moment, with the brothers on the action level already red-faced and pushing with all their might, the fifteen battle chariots of Liangshan approached the city wall of Kaijing like ancient behemoths with a roar!

For the Koreans, the "opposite building" was something that only existed in legends, after all, Korea did not have the ability to build such a building! When they saw the Liangshan army deploying the "opposite building," the fear of giant objects in the hearts of the defenders of Kaijing began to spread.

"The punitive expeditionary force should resume its offensive!"

Seeing that the building opposite was rushing towards Kaijing, Ren Yuan ordered the anti-rebel army to start their operation again.

After receiving the order, Li Genshuo had no objections and immediately reorganized the siege ladders, preparing to charge together with Liangshan's siege towers!

"Come on!"

When the siege towers reached the formation of the anti-rebel army, the soldiers of the anti-rebel army also launched an attack at the same time. Amidst the shouts and cheers, siege towers were once again carried to the top of the city walls of Kaijing!

"Stop them! Stop them!"

The commander defending Gaegyeong was cursing and swearing on the city wall. He could see the terrifying tower opposite that was about to close in, but for Goryeo to continue to survive, the commander did not back down!

Although he was afraid, the capital of Goryeo was right behind him! He had nowhere to retreat!

The soldiers at the gate of the capital immediately began firing arrows and throwing stones at the building opposite.

But Liangshan's defenses against the towers were too strong; these attacks couldn't stop them at all!

Once the archers in the suppression layer were within firing range, they also began to use the firing holes in the wall to suppress the city walls!

Many Goryeo soldiers were hit by arrows, which did nothing to slow down the charge against the siege towers!

"boom!"

Not long after, Liangshan's chariot, with unstoppable momentum, crashed into the walls of Kaijing!

The moment the truck made contact with the city wall of Kaijing, the entire wall seemed to tremble! At the same time, the enormous reaction force brought the truck to a complete stop!

But then, the huge platform on the combat level crashed down, crushing several fearless Koreans who were trying to set fire to the building opposite and block its approach into a bloody pulp!

"Brothers, charge with me!!"

As soon as the huge platform landed, it immediately revealed the appearance of the elite soldiers in the combat layer!

Fifty Liangshan warriors, who had been sharpening their swords for a long time, charged up the city wall of Kaijing like ferocious beasts that had been released from their cages after being starved for several days!

"die!"

Mi Sheng, Shan Shiqi, Bian Xiang, and Deng Yuanjue, four valiant infantry generals from Liangshan, led their men in a charge from different positions on the city wall!

These four infantry leaders were highly skilled in martial arts, and their soldiers were all elite. Although each of them had only fifty men behind them, they were not afraid when facing an enemy several times their size. Instead, they took the initiative to wield their broadswords and follow behind their commanders, reaping the lives of the Goryeo people.

Other combat teams without generals were equally impressive. After scaling the city walls, the fifty men united as one, forming a semicircle and supporting each other back to back. On the city walls, which were all inhabited by Koreans, they fought their way through with blood and sweat!

Their bravery inspired the entire army!

"Gaegyeong is Goryeo's Gaegyeong! We can't let our Song brothers have all the glory! Charge, you rebel army!"

Encouraged, the Goryeo rebels climbed the siege ladders even faster, and finally, some of them reached the top of the Goryeo city wall and fought with the defenders there!

In a siege, once a few people manage to scale the walls, even more will continuously follow!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The commander of the garrison at Kaijing was furious to see more and more people climbing the city walls. He picked up his precious sword and charged into the crowd!

It must be said that this garrison commander was quite skilled. His precious sword was sharp, and with his left and right slashes, he actually managed to cut down several people!

But that's all. At this point, not only had all fifteen men from Liangshan climbed the city walls, but the anti-rebel army had also successfully sent seven or eight siege ladders to the top of the city walls of Kaijing!

In this situation, the generals of the garrison in Gaegyeong were simply overwhelmed. They were not generals capable of defeating ten thousand men, so they had no way to turn the tide on their own!

Moreover, after these leading generals killed several people in succession, they were also targeted!

"Hey you with the knife, I'll fight you!"

San Shiqi was closest to the Goryeo general who was wielding a precious sword. Seeing him acting so fiercely, San Shiqi used an iron bar to clear a path and charged straight at him!

The iron bar spun like a windmill; a mere graze would kill, a mere touch would injure. The garrison of Kaesong was utterly unable to stop Shan Shiqi!

"Hey you with the iron bar! State your name!"

The Goryeo general, wielding his precious sword, naturally saw San Shiqi. Whether out of ignorance or arrogance, he actually took the initiative to go up to him!

"General Shan Shiqi of the Great Song Dynasty! Does the enemy general dare to state his name?"

Shan Shiqi casually made up an official title.

"Yi Sun-sin, the garrison commander of Gaegyeong, Goryeo! Please accept your death!"

……

PS: Yi Sun-sin was a famous general whom the Koreans boasted about during the Ming Dynasty. Let's just assume that the name was inherited from his ancestors.
