Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Kill!"

Wang Qing's vanguard, though numerous, was thrown into disarray after being bombarded three rounds of artillery fire.

Furthermore, with their vanguard commander Wang Qing nowhere to be found, their army was completely disorganized and scattered, each trying to escape.

Although the three vanguard armies of Liangshan were outnumbered, they were on a roll and were chasing after the imperial army!

"Wang Qing! You come out here!"

Du Xue was still chasing Wang Qing, and almost no one dared to stop him along the way.

But what Du Xue didn't expect was that Wang Qing was a master of escaping. After blending into the crowd, Wang Qing quickly put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and ran with everyone else!

In this way, even if Du Xue catches up, he really won't be able to find Wang Qing!

This guy can really run!

Where is Wang Qing?!

Amidst the chaos of battle, Du Xue could only grab an ordinary soldier running past him from his horse and ask him a question.

"I, I, I don't know..."

The soldiers captured by Du Xue were also bewildered. "No, what conflict do you have between you? Can't you resolve it yourselves?"

Why are you asking me?

how could I know?

"roll!"

Du Xue was furious, but there was nothing he could do but throw the soldier back to the ground.

"Wang Qing! You got away fast this time!"

Du Xue was very helpless, but he couldn't pursue them any further, because if he went any further, it would be within the range of the Divine Machine Legion's bombardment. The Divine Machine Legion's cannons don't care whether you're friend or foe, so it's best to stay away as much as possible.

……

Du Xue's side couldn't find Wang Qing, while the Teng brothers had already been tied up.

Although Teng Kan had been very brave just now, he took the initiative to raise the steel whip in his hand at Li Zhu.

But as the saying goes, on the battlefield, when it comes to charging into battle, Li Zhu is no match for these mounted generals.

But if it's within ten steps to take someone's head, then in Liangshan territory, Li Zhu has no rivals other than Zhou Tong!

What use was Teng Kanyong's bravery? He hadn't even managed to touch Li Zhu's man after a few rounds when the sudden cold sensation on his neck forced him to stop.

"Oh!"

Li Zhu kicked Teng Kan off his horse and had him tied up as well.

As for Teng Kui, his shoulder wound was first given a simple bandage, and then he was tied up.

"Neither of you can beat my brother Shi Jin, nor can you beat me. According to what we just said, you two will stay on Liangshan Mountain for a while!"

Li Zhu looked at the Teng brothers and gently shook his head.

Although these two brothers preferred high-ranking positions and generous salaries, they were undeniably loyal and devoted to their friends.

The Teng brothers remained silent, it was unclear whether they didn't want to speak or were too embarrassed to.

"Brother Shi Jin, take these two men away."

Li Zhu didn't hear the two people talking directly, so he simply ordered Shi Jin to take them away.

“Military Advisor Li, this Teng Kan is…”

Shi Jin was somewhat surprised, because Li Zhu's actions clearly indicated that he was giving the credit to Shi Jin.

"After all, we were brothers before. It would feel awkward to take credit for him. But since Da Lang defeated Teng Kui, good things come in pairs! Let's have another one!"

Li Zhu was indeed giving up the credit, and it was acceptable for Li Zhu to give the credit to Shi Jin.

After all, given Shi Jin's status and current situation, the infantry army needs this credit.

"Thank you in advance, strategist. I will still report the truth to Brother Pei Xuan."

Li Zhu was willing to concede, but Shi Jin would not accept it so easily. Although his Bu San needed merit, he wanted it to be the kind that was honorable and aboveboard!

However, since Li Zhu was a senior, he could not refuse such a generous gift from an elder, so he accepted Teng Kan's gift for the time being.

On the other side, Zan Tongmei and Feng Tai were also evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand. So, seeing his own soldiers retreating, Zan Tongmei stopped fighting and, while fighting, ran around to the edge of the enemy lines before decisively choosing to withdraw.

Feng Tai didn't chase after him. Someone like Zan Tongmei must have a way of dealing with pursuers. If he rashly chased after him, he would definitely suffer a loss.

Anyway, since he defeated the enemy general, he also deserved credit, so Feng Tai was in a stable position!

In short, what could have been a tough battle in the early stages ended in a major defeat for the government forces.

In this battle, the artillery of the Liangshan Divine Machine Legion became the greatest asset. It was the intimidation of the artillery that caused the government troops to lose their composure without a fight.

In addition, the bravery of the Liangshan generals made this battle go so smoothly.

"Old Chen, how many have you arrested?"

Because the Shenji Legion's artillery range was limited, the Liangshan army would stop pursuing them once they were about to enter firing range.

Their main objective was to capture prisoners and routed soldiers.

Sure enough, the first thing Liu Yijing asked Chen Da when they met was how many people he had arrested.

"I don't have much, just about two thousand."

Although Chen Da and Yang Chun wore humble expressions, they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

Capturing more than two thousand prisoners is an absolute great achievement!

Bu San finally made an appearance today!

"Sure, two thousand is a lot, I only have a little over a thousand."

Liu Yijing said that Bu San was indeed skilled, truly worthy of being one of the earliest established armies in Liangshan. Their newly established army was still somewhat lacking in the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers.

At this moment, Shi Jin also brought over the Teng brothers. Chen Da and Yang Chun stared wide-eyed at the sight of them!

"Wow! Big Brother, you're amazing! You managed to take down both of them?!"

"I took one, and Li Junshi took the other. But because of old friendship, the strategist let me escort it."

Shi Jin did not seek credit for himself.

"Ah, strategist, you're too sentimental. But, brother, since it's your achievement, let's tell Brother Pei Xuan the truth. Although Bu San needs a banner, it's one we have to earn ourselves with our own swords and spears, not one given to us by others."

Before Chen Da could say anything, Yang Chun spoke up first.

"Don't worry, brothers, I understand."

Shi Jin nodded. Seeing that his two brothers, like him, were unwilling to accept credit bestowed upon them by others, Shi Jin felt in his heart:

"I am not alone!"

……

At this moment, Liangshan is cleaning up the battlefield and counting the number of prisoners, while on the hillside in the direction of the vanguard army's retreat, there are still troops lying in ambush.

"Boss! They're here! A huge wave of defeated soldiers is running this way!"

On either side of the hillside, a group of Liangshan soldiers lay in ambush, led by Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi.

At that moment, Mi Sheng had a blade of grass in his mouth, his hands behind his head, and he was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard his scouts report the news.

"It wasn't easy, but I've finally waited for them to come!"

Upon hearing that the defeated soldiers had arrived, Mi Sheng immediately opened his eyes, spat out the grass stalks from his mouth, and instructed his men:

"Everyone, perk up! Don't rush. Wait until most of them are inside the encirclement before you attack! Remember! If we're going to catch someone, we'll catch the big fish!"

"Also, prepare all the signal flares. In case the brothers of the Swift Vanguard Army on the other side are asleep, we'll fire a signal flare to wake them up!"
