Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Strategist! The Liao army has come again today, and they even shot a letter in with arrows!"

The Liao army did indeed arrive early the next morning, but this time they did not attack the city directly. Instead, they established a foothold not far from the city walls.

Then, the Liao army shot an arrow with the message that they wanted to have a duel.

"Bring it to me and see."

Xiao Jiasui was eating breakfast when he heard that the Liao people had actually sent a letter with arrows. He stopped eating, still with a steamed bun in his mouth, and gestured to the junior officer to bring the letter to him.

"Yes!"

The junior officer handed the letter to Xiao Jiahui.

"Strategist, what does it say on it?"

Mi Sheng, holding a bowl of porridge, approached Xiao Jiahui and asked.

"The Liao people said that we won yesterday using firearms, which was not a fair fight, and they want to compete with us in a duel."

Xiao Jiahui placed the arrow book on the table with a disdainful look on her face.

"What the hell? Saying we won unfairly?"

But Mi Sheng was displeased after hearing this!

How dare they say their victory was unfair?

Who gave them the guts!

"Humph!"

Mi Sheng slammed down the bowl in a huff, then said to Xiao Jiahui:

"Strategist, I can't tolerate this! How dare they say our victory was unfair! Lao Shan! Stop eating! What do you have to say for yourself!"

"We'll do whatever the strategist says."

Shan Shiqi was drinking porridge and eating steamed buns when he was suddenly called on. He almost choked, but luckily he reacted quickly and swallowed what was in his mouth before speaking.

"That's strange. You didn't plan to just rush out and beat someone up?"

Mi Sheng said, "Dog, you've changed. When we were ambushing together before, weren't you just like me? Why did you change after the strategist came?"

"You think I'm you?"

Shan Shiqi rolled his eyes at Mi Sheng, then patiently explained to him:

"The Liao people aren't fools. The fact that they dared to come means they were at least prepared. Although our military strength is already quite good, we've never fought the Liao people before. The Liao people have been able to suppress the Song Dynasty for so many years, so they must have some ability."

"Old Hei, you're not like Master Lu or Instructor Lin, who are practically invincible. How can you guarantee you'll win in a duel?"

"If we win, that's fine, but what if we lose? At best, we'll be no match for them and I'll have to come to your rescue; at worst, your life will be in danger, and the morale of the army will be damaged."

"Neither of these scenarios is something we want to see, so Lao Hei, you can't act impulsively. We'll listen to the strategist, understand?"

While Shan Shiqi was giving a long speech, Xiao Jiahui hurriedly ate her meal, since it was a rare opportunity for her to remain silent and listen to others trying to persuade the simpleton Mi Sheng.

"Strategist, Lao Shan has said so much, is he right?"

Mi Sheng said, "Although you, Shan Shiqi, have said a lot, I may not have understood it. I'd better ask the strategist."

"Shiqi is right. Mi Sheng is going to be a general in the future. He needs to correct some of his impetuous habits. He can't get angry so easily, right?"

After finishing a bowl of porridge and feeling somewhat full, Xiao Jiahui wiped her mouth and said to Mi Sheng:

"Besides, Liaozhou is now in our hands. We are the true masters of Liaozhou. Why should we have to go down and fight them just because they send us a letter?"

"How dare those Liao people have such a big face? They can just start a duel whenever they want? No way! We have to be the ones to say we want to fight!"

Mi Sheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing what Xiao Jiahui said.

exactly!

It's not that we don't want to fight, it's that they don't deserve it!

"Isn't what the strategist meant exactly what I said?"

Seeing Mi Sheng nodding frantically, Shan Shiqi thought, "You big black guy, is this preferential treatment?"

"No, it's different. The strategist speaks in a more cultured way, and I can understand him!"

Mi Sheng waved his hand, signaling Shan Shiqi to shut up.

"Then, strategist, if we're not going to have a duel, what are we going to do today?"

"Move chairs, climb the city wall, bask in the sun, and watch a play."

Xiao Jiahui looked outside. The weather was quite nice today, with plenty of sunshine and a moderate temperature, perfect for sunbathing.

"But strategist, what if the Liao people..."

Shan Shiqi was a little worried. Was it really okay to do nothing?

"Shiqi, don't worry. Liaozhou is an important town for the Liao people. The city is high and the moat is deep, so there won't be any problems. Have the soldiers stand behind the wall. Prepare all the firearms that were not used yesterday, and also prepare crossbows."

Xiao Jiahui seemed to have guessed what Shan Shiqi was going to say. He pulled out the feather fan from his belt behind his back, shook it, and began to make arrangements.

"The city gates are the same as yesterday: set up barricades and focus on guarding them; prepare sand and water tanks below the city walls to prevent the Liao people from setting fires; shield bearers are on standby at the crenellations to guard against stray arrows..."

It must be said that Xiao Jiasui was thoughtful. After everything was arranged, he had people carry chairs up to the city wall and also bring the large umbrella that had been searched in Liaozhou City.

"Don't worry about how nasty the Liao people's insults are, we'll just rest up there. Let them curse all they want, we'll sleep all we want. If they attack the city, everyone will unleash their firearms! Until we run out of firearms!"

"Besides, given the level of Liao people's cursing, they can't even speak Mandarin clearly. If they really get angry, they'll definitely be speaking Liao language. Do you even understand that?"

Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.

Indeed, they couldn't understand the language of the Liao people very well.

"That's it then. They don't understand anyway, so what's the big deal? In my brother's words, I just love seeing them get angry but unable to do anything about it."

This time, Hsiao Chia-hui's main strategy is: if the enemy doesn't move, I don't move; if I don't move, what can the enemy do to me?

His attitude was remarkably carefree. Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi were infected by his carefree spirit and both expressed their willingness to sunbathe with the strategist.

And so, the three of them appeared on the city wall in a very open manner, and no matter how much the Liao people challenged them, they ignored them!

Yelü Zhangnu and his two brothers, Zhenbao and Yelü Zhangnu, challenged and hurled insults at each other outside Liaozhou City for over an hour. Their mouths were dry and smoking from talking, but Liaozhou City remained as quiet as if everyone had died.

Only the occasional flags and armor peeking out from the city walls could tell everyone that this unknown army had always been there!

"Gan!!"

Yelü Zhangnu angrily threw his helmet to the ground and tried to spit on it in anger!

However, perhaps because my mouth was too dry, I tried to spit out saliva for a long time but couldn't!

"Are these people really from the Song Dynasty? How could there be such unruly people from the Song Dynasty? Didn't they always claim to be a land of etiquette?"

Yelü Zhangnu didn't understand. In the past, when he fought against the Zhao Song, as long as he treated them with courtesy, the Zhao Song would definitely listen.

But what's wrong with this team?

I've already sent you the Divine General's Letter, are you just going to ignore it?

If you don't want to fight today, then hang up a truce sign! You're already on the city wall, what's the meaning of not saying anything?!

"General, how about we go and challenge them again?"

The Treasure Brothers came over to inquire.

"Shut up! These people are pretending to be deaf and dumb. Everyone, stop shouting for now, back up five miles, cook your meals, and come back to shout after you've eaten your fill!"
