Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Wanyan Loushi and his men have completely surrounded Huanglongfu!

"Report! Commander, a group of defeated soldiers have fled from the outpost!"

Just as he was inspecting the entire encirclement with his trusted men, a soldier suddenly rushed over and told him that a large number of defeated soldiers had been detected retreating from the outpost towards this area!

"Defeated soldiers? Could it be that the prince consort was defeated?"

Wanyan Loushi was somewhat surprised. This shouldn't be the case. With Zeng Sheng's abilities, how could he be defeated by a mere outpost city?

"No, judging from the flags, they should be Liao people!"

The guards said that those people's flags did not belong to our Great Jin.

"Liao people? It seems the prince consort succeeded!"

Wanyan Loushi finally showed a satisfied expression. This is how it should be!

"Then, General, what should we do? Annihilate them or let them into the city?"

"Make an opening and let them in!"

Without much thought, Wanyan Loushi immediately ordered the entire army to make way.

"General, why?"

His personal guards were somewhat puzzled.

“Since they are defeated soldiers, they must have been defeated by the prince consort. If we let them into the city, the Liao people inside will definitely lose heart when they see this.”

"Understood, Commander! I'll go right away!"

Following Wanyan Loushi's orders, his personal guards quickly went to relay the message, instructing the encirclement to open a gap!

"Go! Go!"

Those who rushed back from the outpost city in a panic all had drunkenness and lingering fear on their faces.

They truly hadn't expected that their commander would suddenly have a burst of kindness, allowing everyone to drink and ward off the cold.

As it turned out, the enemy arrived precisely on the very day they were drinking! They were armed with knives and guns, and each one of them looked menacing!

Isn't this just playing with them?

And to make matters worse, their leader, who had drunk the most, collapsed on the spot!

But miraculously, when the Jin general charged in, the Liao commander, though drunk, ran faster than a rabbit! No one could catch him! He was also the first to reach the walls of Huanglongfu!

Under this commander's leadership, the Liao people's escape speed increased dramatically, quickly turning the outpost city into a ghost town! This directly benefited Zeng Sheng!

"What's going on? What are you doing here?"

The Liao soldiers on the city wall recognized the newcomers. They were puzzled. Why are you outposts not staying in the city? What are you doing here?

"Open the gates! Open the city gates now! The Jurchens are treacherous; they've already captured our outpost!"

The defenders, of course, dared not say much about why they had lost the city, and could only blame everything on the treachery of the Jurchens.

"What? Come in quickly! Come in quickly!"

The Liao people were quite united. Upon hearing of the Jin people's treachery, the Liao soldiers on the city wall immediately prepared to open the city gates and welcome their brothers in.

"What's wrong with you guys? Why do you smell of alcohol?"

Upon entering, the guards were somewhat surprised. Why do you all reek of alcohol?

"Let me tell you, those Jurchens are scoundrels! They actually wanted to use fire to attack us! They wanted to burn us alive! Look, they've been pouring strong liquor all over us. Luckily, we ran fast enough, or we'd be roasted pigs by now!"

The soldiers at the outpost never expected that their commander would come up with an excuse so quickly.

No wonder he was chosen as the commander-in-chief!

Although this excuse sounds really unbelievable.

But what the Huanglongfu garrison said next left the soldiers at the outpost dumbfounded:

"I see. You've worked hard, brothers. It's alright. We will definitely avenge you!"

???

No, are all the soldiers of Huanglong Prefecture this naive?

We're starting to feel like we're not so safe here anymore...

Wanyan Loushi was unaware of the situation inside Huanglongfu City, as he had already reunited with Zeng Sheng.

"Your Highness, you have done another great service!"

"I dare not, it's all thanks to His Majesty and the Marshal."

Zeng Sheng said he dared not take credit, and then continued to speak to Wanyan Loushi:

"Marshal, the people from the outpost have now entered Huanglongfu, making it an isolated city. The next step is the siege. Please let me be the vanguard; I hope to be the first to reach the top of the city walls!"

"You want to be the first to charge?"

Wanyan Loushi was somewhat surprised. He thought that although Zeng Sheng was brave, he would protect himself properly during battle. He did not expect that Zeng Sheng would actually be the first to go.

"Yes! Please grant my request, Marshal!"

After receiving the generous gift package from the outpost, Zeng Sheng is now very confident in himself. He believes that since he is a person favored by heaven, no matter how much danger he faces, it will stay away from him!

Moreover, in order to avenge his father and brothers as soon as possible, Zeng Sheng needs a lot of merit. If he is the first to charge, he will have the opportunity to be the first to scale the wall, capture the flag, and kill the enemy general!

"Excellent! With a son-in-law like this, how can our great undertaking not succeed?!"

Wanyan Loushi was unaware that Zeng Sheng's primary goal was revenge, but he greatly admired Zeng Sheng's actions!

Now, he finds Zeng Sheng pleasing to the eye no matter what!

……

"General! It seems the Jin army has closed that gap again."

On the city tower of Huanglongfu, soldiers were constantly going in and out. When the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance saw that the gap in the outer encirclement had closed again, they quickly reported it.

"They've closed it again; it seems they're determined to trap us."

The garrison commander of the outpost said that he had long said the Liao people were not easy to deal with!

"Trapped us? They don't even deserve to!"

However, the garrison commander of Huanglong Prefecture did not care at all, because Huanglong Prefecture's food reserves were only enough for the whole city for one month on the surface, but in fact they could last for more than a year. As long as there was no food shortage, the garrison of Huanglong Prefecture could hold out for as long as they wanted!

"Let them be trapped! I want to see who gives up first!"

……

"Your Highness, what do we do next?"

Zeng Sheng took on the task of attacking the city. Although some of his trusted subordinates believed in his abilities, they were somewhat helpless in the face of Huanglong Prefecture, which seemed as impregnable as an iron barrel.

This Huanglongfu place just doesn't seem like a place to begin!

"Their defenses are indeed very good, but only on the ground."

Zeng Sheng looked at the city wall of Huanglong Prefecture and knew what was going on.

"What the Prince Consort means is..."

"Brothers, let's dig a tunnel in!"

Zeng Sheng waved his arms.

"The people of Huanglong Prefecture are so arrogant, they definitely wouldn't have expected us to break in from underground!"

"A tunnel?"

Everyone was startled. "No, Your Highness, it's winter! This place..."

"We're not digging here!"

Zeng Sheng pointed in a direction outside Huanglongfu City.

"Look over there, that's the woods outside Huanglong Prefecture City. It used to be their logging area, only four or five zhang away from the city wall. So let's start digging there, avoiding the outermost frozen ground, and sneak into their city from underground! Let's catch them off guard!"

"You all think that it's too cold to dig tunnels in winter, but wouldn't the people in Huanglong Prefecture be even more surprised?"

"The prince consort is wise!"

"The Prince Consort is truly a wise general of our Great Jin!"

……

Upon hearing Zeng Sheng's words, his confidants all praised him, saying that they were extremely fortunate to be able to fight alongside the prince consort!

Zeng Sheng smiled and gestured for everyone to continue!

Indeed, I am the chosen one of Heaven! My lads! Keep praising me!
