Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Your Highness, the Gao family will be your greatest support in Bohai from now on! If Your Highness says go east, the Gao family will never go west!"

When Ren Yuan and the others set off to leave the Gao family, Gao Yongqiang and Gao Yongsheng saw them off very respectfully.

When they arrived, there were three fellow disciples, but when they left, Lu Junyi had an extra disciple by his side, and Gao Chong's mother also left with her maid.

In her words, wherever her son goes, she goes; as for the Gao family, there's nothing left for her to cherish.

"Patriarch Gao, as long as your Gao family stays down-to-earth, there won't be any problems. By the way, if your third son, Gao Yongchang, still wants to rebel, remember to have him come to Liaoyang to see me."

Ren Yuan rode on the Jade Lion of the Night, looking down at Gao Yongqiang.

"That's for sure, I will definitely have my third brother visit the Prince."

Gao Yongqiang adopted a very humble attitude.

"Well, although your Gao family can no longer rule over the Bohai Sea like before, as long as the Gao family doesn't cause trouble, continuing the family line won't be a problem."

"Your Highness, the Gao family dares not. The Gao family only opposes the Liao people, and will never oppose Your Highness! The things we promised Your Highness, the Gao family will definitely complete on time!"

"Yes, I keep my word."

Ren Yuan didn't say much to him and left Gaojiazhuang with his men.

The Gao brothers stood at the entrance of the manor, watching Ren Yuan and his group leave. Even after they were gone, they dared not make any rash moves.

"Brother, they're all gone..."

Gao Yongsheng couldn't stand up anymore; his wrist was still hurting. Could we ask him to get his dressing changed?

"Second brother, the situation in Bohai has changed. Since neither of us has the ability to fight against the storm, let's protect the legacy left by our ancestors."

"Besides, Gao Chong and his family have already left you all their businesses. What more could you want?"

"Brother, then my hand was injured for nothing?"

Gao Yongsheng said he had never suffered such a huge loss.

"That's what you deserve, but remember this: now our Gao family depends on this nephew."

"Hmph, relying on that little brat? Give me a break, he's just hooked up with some nobody prince, does he really think he's something?"

Kao Yung-sheng said he wasn't afraid at all.

"Besides, that Da Yi guy. He didn't even say a word. He's obviously just someone who wants to experience being an emperor."

"Second brother, why didn't you say this when they were here?"

Gao Yongqiang looked at his younger brother and thought, "How come I didn't realize you were so domineering the other day?"

"Brother, I... I was just giving them face, I didn't want to expose their makeshift operation."

Gao Yongsheng was trying to save face.

“Second brother, if you had dared to expose them to my face a few days ago, I would have given you the position of head of the family.”

Gao Yongqiang showed no respect to his younger brother. He was already exhausted from dealing with Ren Yuan and the others these past few days, and he wished he wasn't the head of the family back then.

"Brother, that's not what I meant. I just think you shouldn't trust these people so easily. Who knows who they really are? I'm just afraid you'll be fooled!"

Kao Yung-sheng said, "Big brother, you know me. I just want to be a good younger brother!"

"Send a message to the third brother and tell him to check with the Liao Kingdom for any news about these people. Tokyo, one of the five capitals, has been captured. Don't tell the Liao people they know nothing."

Gao Yongqiang said that if the people of Liaoning really didn't know any of that, then they were truly terrible and deserved to lose Tokyo!

……

Did the Liao people even know who they were up against?

Well, that question should be asked of Yelü Zhangnu.

Because he was leading troops to recapture Liaozhou, and received support from Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao along the way, he was full of confidence.

But to his surprise, he was dealt a heavy blow as soon as he arrived at the gates of Liaozhou!

"Release all the remaining Divine Fire Eagles!"

"Are your crossbows any good? If not, get out of there! Don't take up space!"

"Where's the Thunder Cannon? It's not installed yet? Tell me if you don't have enough manpower! The Fierce Mountain Army and the Swift Vanguard Army can help!"

……

On the walls of Liaozhou, facing the invading Liao people, Xiao Jiasui had no desire to leave the city. He simply summoned the Shenji Legion he had brought to the city walls and had them begin equipping themselves.

Although this was just a detachment of a god-level legion, they brought quite a lot of stuff with them.

Basically, the Divine Machine Legion carries all the firearms that it has researched.

Under Ren Yuan's influence, Xiao Jiasui is now particularly interested in firearms. In siege battles like this, he has learned to use up all the firearms he has before letting his soldiers fight.

With firearms, who would still engage in hand-to-hand combat!

As for how to replenish firearms after they run out, that's the business of the Divine Machine Legion and logistics, and has nothing to do with Military Advisor Xiao.

"Soldiers, we've only just captured Liaozhou, and the Liao people are already causing trouble. Can you accept this?"

Xiao Jiahui encouraged the soldiers.

"No! No!..."

The soldiers responded loudly in agreement.

"That's right! No way! Liaozhou now belongs to Dayi, we have to make these Liao people get lost!"

"Listen up, battalions! Use up all the firearms you've been allocated! Then charge! Any battalion that hoards its firearms and doesn't use them will never be allowed to use them again!"

"The Prince said that the lives of us Dayi soldiers are worth more than these things! Do you understand?"

"Understood! Understood!..."

With such a mobilization, when the Liao people arrived in Liaozhou, they were greeted by an overwhelming barrage of firearms!

Its destructive power, which transcended the conventional understanding of this era, not only made the Liao people cry out in despair, but also struck them so hard that they didn't even have time to react!

Many Liao people were preparing for hand-to-hand combat when suddenly a large dumpling fell from the sky and exploded, killing and injuring those around it. How could they continue playing then?

Fear drove the Liao people to turn tail and retreat! The Liao army's senior generals tried to control the situation, but they couldn't!

What are all these things? Flying and exploding divine eagles? And all sorts of pellets that make loud noises? And powerful crossbow bolts?

Who are we fighting against?

We want to go home!

"Who are they?"

Yelü Zhangnu stared blankly at the Liaozhou city wall, bewildered by the fact that his army, which had already lost thousands of men before even engaging in battle.

Those things we just saw seemed to be methods used by the Southern Song people, but those cowards of the Zhao Song dynasty never used such things on such a large scale!

Does this mean that the Song Dynasty has already been destroyed?

"General, what should we do? The soldiers are terrified today. I just went to check on the various camps, and most of the soldiers are in low spirits. They all say they just encountered divine punishment! They say our Great Liao is doomed to lose this battle!"

The brothers Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao arrived at Yelü Zhangnu's tent, and they were also very anxious.

"What bullshit divine punishment? Those are Song Dynasty firearms!"

Yelü Zhangnu was also anxious and frustrated. How did this turn into divine punishment?

"General, are you joking? We've seen Song army weapons before, where did you get such power?"

Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao said, "Don't lie to us, we're not stupid."

"Honestly, here's the plan: tomorrow morning, the two of you will come with me to fight generals. We were tricked by these people today, and our morale has suffered. Tomorrow, we'll kill a few more generals, and our morale will be back..."
