Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Put it back!"

Although it is said that one can only fire three rounds of arrows in battle, the Ever Victorious Army deliberately lays an ambush, so they can fire far more arrows!

"Second Round of Horse-Breaking Arrow!"

"Whizzing……"

"General, the horse!"

A cavalryman rode up to Aliqi with his spare horse, indicating that Tianshan Yong could ride his horse.

"it is good!"

Tianshan Yong didn't stand on ceremony. He stood up from Aliqi's horse and easily leaped onto the spare horse while they were still moving!

"General, I'll lead my men to charge at the enemy!"

Although the Ever Victorious Army ambushed on a hillside and had a commanding position, the road below the hill made a sharp turn in this section. As long as the cavalry rounded this turn, they could rush up the hill and launch a counterattack!

Tianshan Yong's beloved horse was shot to death, and he is now very angry!

"Very well! I will go with you!"

Aliqi was also furious because he didn't expect anyone to use such a deadly weapon as the Horse-Breaking Arrow. Using this thing on the battlefield was a foul!

In all his years of dominating the Liao Dynasty, Aliqi had never suffered such a great loss!

"Warriors of the Liao Dynasty, follow me and charge!"

Led by Aliqi and Tianshan Yong, many Liao soldiers rushed forward, each drawing their sabers and fighting alongside their generals!

"Brother, they're here!"

Liu Tang saw the Liao army charging towards him, and his expression became very serious.

"Don't worry."

Yuan Lang patted Liu Tang on the shoulder.

"My Ever-Victorious Army's archers are not as weak as you think."

"Raise your shields! Hold your spears! Draw your swords!"

Following Yuan Lang's command, the archers of the Ever Victorious Army drew their swords!

When they stood up, Liu Tang realized that the archers were all wearing heavy armor!

"Heavy, heavy armor..."

Liu Tang was a little dumbfounded. Archers in heavy armor?

"That's right, in our Ever Victorious Army, bows and crossbows are all heavy armor."

Yuan Lang said with a smile.

"Brother Liu Tang, you may not know this, but in our Ever-Victorious Army, soldiers who can't fight tough battles are not qualified to use bows!"

To Liu Tang's astonishment, the archers dropped their heavy crossbows, raised their shields, and formed a battle formation with spears in front and swords behind!

"Rush over to me!"

Upon seeing the Liangshan army arrayed in battle, the Liao people revealed cruel smiles!

You Song people are truly a bunch of fools, standing in such a neat array!

How could an infantry formation possibly be a match for the cavalry of my Great Liao?

"Light crossbows! Charge!"

But as the cavalry approached, the shield formation suddenly changed!

Between the gaps in the shields, some very delicate-looking light crossbows protruded!

Each crossbow has a quiver; once the string is fully drawn, three arrows can be fired simultaneously!

A quiver contains nine arrows, meaning it can fire three times in a row!

Although the range is shorter with each shot, it is still a powerful tool for ambushing enemies in close combat!

Thank you Dayi Tiangong Institute!

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The sudden arrow caught the Liao cavalry completely off guard!

What's going on? Weren't all these archers holding up their shields? Where did they get their bows and arrows?!

Moreover, these crossbows don't even need to be aimed; they rely entirely on sheer numbers to win. Although the arrows are relatively small, a multitude of ants can kill an elephant, proving that even small arrows can be incredibly powerful!

"Puff puff……"

The sound of arrows piercing flesh was incessant. Although the Liao soldiers wore armor, their horses did not. In addition, some soldiers deliberately fired crossbow bolts at the horses' eyes, necks, and other vital areas, causing the cavalry at the forefront to fall like wheat being harvested.

"You bastard thing!"

Aliqi's eyes turned red with rage. How come these Song people are so good at nothing but these underhanded tricks?

He no longer held back, brandishing his spear to deflect the arrows aimed at his warhorse, then accelerated again, preparing to be the first to charge into the Song army's ranks!

"prick!"

However, the shield formation of the Ever Victorious Infantry is not so easy to break!

Because their shields are specially made, with an iron rod on the back that can be folded up in peacetime and used as a support in wartime!

The Ever-Victorious Infantry only need to slightly tilt their shields and plant them on the ground, then put down their iron rods. Looking at them from the side, hey, a stable triangle appears!

Then they brace the shields with their shoulders, making them even more solid than a regular shield formation!

The first wave after the shield formation consisted of spearmen! And these spearmen were truly "long" spearmen! They were two iron spears joined together, and their length far exceeded that of ordinary spearmen, requiring two people to hold them in place!

When these spears appear neatly behind the shields, the entire shield formation looks like a hedgehog!

Normally, cavalry couldn't break through this formation. If they wanted to charge the shield line, they would first have to skewer their own flesh and blood...

Even if someone is a skilled rider and can leap over the spearmen, he will still have to face the most formidable elite of the Ever Victorious Army—the heavily armored double-swordsmen!

Yuan Lang wields two weapons, so he specifically requires his most elite soldiers to do the same! Especially the heavily armored dual-wielders, being able to use both hands is the most basic requirement! Being able to simultaneously perform fluid sword flourishes with both hands is their standard!

The knives they carried were also specially made, forged from fine iron, with two blood grooves specially cut into the blades. If they were hit, the blood would flow endlessly!

It was precisely because Yuan Lang had this equipment that he dared to confront this wave of cavalry head-on!

Come on! If you want to kill my ever-victorious army, you'll have to pay the price by making a portion of your men into meat skewers! Do you Liao people dare?!

"Damn it!"

Aliqi had no choice but to rein in his horse. Although his pear blossom spear had deflected the two spears in front of him, the weight of the spear made him realize that many people were waiting for them behind the shield formation!

"Bandits! Who's your leader? Come out and fight me!"

If the Ever Victorious Army had been using wooden spears, Aliqi might have considered drawing his sword and cutting off the spearheads. However, after circling around the spear formation, Aliqi realized that this idea was unrealistic and too difficult to do!

More and more people arrived in front of the shield formation. The enemy was right in front of them, but they could not advance even an inch, which made them very uncomfortable!

Arich, who was seething with anger, could only try to break the deadlock by provoking his commander!

"Brother, aren't you going to go?"

Liu Tang is currently in the formation, standing beside Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang is not on horseback, and he is already fiddling with the double-edged sword in his hands.

"It's not time for me to rush in yet."

Yuan Lang was waiting; he was waiting for Xu Ning. Right now, many of the Liao cavalry were being held back and lacked mobility, which provided Xu Ning's Golden Spear Army with a good opportunity!

"But, but they specifically asked for you, brother..."

"Just because they specifically name someone, does that mean I have to go?"

Yuan Lang patted Liu Tang on the shoulder:

"Brother, this isn't some kind of martial arts battle. As long as our army wins, what does it matter if I suffer a little grievance?"

"Besides, although that Liao man looks strong, it won't be so easy for him to defeat me!"

Yuan Lang stared at Aliqi, feeling the blood rushing through his body!

I haven't felt this way in ages! I'm really looking forward to it!

"Da da da, da da da..."

"General! A group of cavalry of unknown origin is charging towards us. They might be in league with these bandits!"

Yao'er Weikang suddenly noticed a cavalry force charging towards the Liao army's flank from a distance. He quickly sent someone to inform Aliqi, who was still trying to find a weakness in Yuan Lang's porcupine-like defenses!

"Mao Jun? Since when did Ma Jun dare to challenge cavalry?"

Frustrated by the ever-victorious team's prickly exterior, Alichi suddenly found an outlet for his frustration!

"Come on! Charge with me! If we can't handle these bastards, surely we can handle a bunch of ordinary cavalry?"

PS: Yesterday I taught two trial lessons, and today I'm taking my students to Zhenjiang for a competition. I'm only updating once a day now to keep up with the current workload. Being a junior faculty member is really busy. If anyone tells you that university teachers aren't busy, they're definitely lying…
