Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Who did this?"

In the Liao camp, Yelü Zhangnu looked at the warhorse whose head had been pierced, his face turning ashen.

"Reporting to the commander, reinforcements have arrived from Liaozhou. A very tall general shot this arrow from the city wall."

The Liao cavalrymen looked at the horse with grim expressions.

"On the city wall, an arrow pierced a horse's head. What kind of joke are you talking about?"

Yelü Zhangnu asked, "Is this a joke?"

"Commander, everyone saw it, we didn't lie!"

The soldiers immediately corroborated each other's claims, "Are you kidding? Who would dare lie about this? That would be suicide!"

"An arrow pierces the horse's head..."

Yelü Zhangnu stared intently at the horse's head, and the warhorse's eyes were wide open!

He asked himself if he could do that. In the entire Liao Kingdom, after the older generation grew old and died, it seemed that only a few people like Wuyan Guang and Aliqi had this ability... right?

Among this group of so-called benevolent people who appeared out of nowhere, there are actually people of this caliber?

"An arrow pierced a horse's head, and on the city wall no less! General, this man's skill level is at least that of Aliqi."

Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao also arrived. When they saw the pierced horse head, their faces turned grim, because they couldn't do it at this level either. Among the younger generation of the Liao Kingdom, only Aliqi seemed to have this ability.

"You can't say that. What if this person only knows how to shoot arrows? What if he doesn't know anything else besides a bow and arrow?"

To boost morale, Yelü Zhangnu put forward some hypotheses, which seemed quite reasonable!

"General, is that possible? If someone has such archery skills, their other skills must also be extraordinary. How could they possibly know nothing?"

"Exactly! Besides, someone with this level of skill would be terrifying in the military, even if they didn't know anything else!"

The Treasure Brothers were very clear-headed and were not misled by Yelü Zhangnu. They knew that a general with such archery skills was one in a thousand, so how could he possibly be completely ignorant?

Where are Alichi and the others?

Seeing that the Zhenbao brothers were undermining him, Yelü Zhangnu had no choice but to change the subject.

"There's no news yet. The latest news said they're still near Jinzhou. At their current pace, they should be able to get here in one or two days."

When asked this question, the Treasure Brothers gave up on asking further questions and answered seriously.

"Near Jinzhou..."

Yelü Zhangnu looked at the map and calculated their speed. Logically speaking, they should have arrived by now.

"Report! Smoke and dust have appeared several miles behind us, suspected to be a large cavalry force attacking our army!"

Just as Yelü Zhangnu was pondering this question, a messenger suddenly lifted the tent flap and rushed in to report.

"coming!"

Upon hearing that they were cavalry, everyone's eyes lit up!

In the entire northern region, only the Liao army possessed elite cavalry! Of course, after these battles, the Jurchen cavalry had grown in size, but in terms of sheer numbers, the Liao cavalry still held an absolute advantage!

In the world today, only the Liao Dynasty could muster 200,000 cavalry to attack a city!

Therefore, these cavalrymen could only be their own men!

"Go out and greet them."

Everyone knows how fast cavalry can run at high speed; covering several miles is nothing for them!

Yelü Zhangnu personally led his men out, and from afar he saw a general in silver armor charging at the forefront.

“That’s Aliqi, no doubt about it.”

Among the Liao people, everyone knows that Aliqi especially likes to wear silver armor.

"With Alici on the team, we have nothing to worry about in this match."

Yelü Zhangnu felt a little relieved.

However, when Aliqi actually rushed in front of him, Yelü Zhangnu's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again!

He could clearly see the marks of battle on Aliqi's battle robe, and the number of cavalry behind him... seemed a bit small.

"Arich? What happened to you? Did you get into a battle?"

Yelü Zhangnu looked around and felt something was wrong. It wasn't just Aliqi; the cavalrymen at the forefront also had bloodstains and dust on them, clearly indicating they had just come from the battlefield!

"It's hard to describe in words."

Arich jumped off his horse, his silver, dappled horse also panting heavily.

"When I passed through Jinzhou, I fought a battle with bandits and suffered a loss."

"Who can make you suffer a loss?"

Yelü Guozhen and Yelü Guobao were both stunned!

Just kidding, this is Aliqi! The number one young talent in the Liao Kingdom! He's practically invincible among his peers!

Where is your lieutenant?

"..."

Arich didn't speak, but his silence at this moment was even more astonishing.

"Young, Young General."

At this moment, Cao Mingji also arrived. He dismounted from his horse, panting heavily.

"Cao Mingji?"

The Treasure Brothers had met Cao Mingji before and had some impression of him.

"My two imperial nephews!"

Cao Mingji quickly bowed, his servile manner causing Yelü Zhangnu to frown.

"Aliqi, is this all the stock left?"

"He's the only one left. The others... sigh..."

Aliqi shook his head slightly, clearly still reeling from the loss of Tianshan Yong and Yao'er Weikang.

"Alright, let the brothers rest for a bit first."

Yelü Zhangnu suggested that they rest first.

"Brother Yelü, I entrust these nine thousand men to you."

Aliqi's heart was bleeding. When he set out, he had 13,000 cavalrymen under his command, but after the battle of Jinzhou, he lost more than 3,000 cavalrymen!

That's over three thousand elite troops!

It's really difficult to raise so many people!

Upon hearing the number of over nine thousand, Yelü Zhangnu paused for a moment, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he gestured for Aliqi to come into the main tent with him.

"Don't worry, your soldiers are my soldiers. I will take good care of them. Now come with me, I have something to ask you."

Aliqi nodded, then suddenly thought of Cao Mingji. He turned around and saw that the guy was still smiling obsequiously at the Treasure Brothers. After thinking about it, he decided not to call him.

"Brother Zhang Nu, what's wrong? Why is there another horse here?"

After the two entered the main tent, Alichi saw the warhorse lying on the ground. He was puzzled as to why the warhorse was on the ground.

“Look at the horse’s head.”

Yelü Zhangnu gestured for Aliqi to look at the horse's head.

"This is... the Overlord Arrow!"

Arich walked to the horse's head, and when he saw the arrow piercing through the horse's head, his eyes lit up!

"Overlord Arrow?"

"The story from the Song Dynasty is said to be based on the story of Li Guang shooting an arrow at a stone, which the people of the Central Plains came up with."

Arich said very seriously.

"A person skilled in archery may not be accurate, but every arrow will surely pierce through gold and split rocks."

"No wonder you're no match for someone like that among your opponents."

"..."

The last sentence left Yelü Zhangnu speechless. He thought for a moment and decided not to tell Aliqi that this person who could use the Overlord Arrow had just arrived earlier that day.

"If you were to face this person, you..."

"It's just a matter of who's the best. It's a 60/40 chance between me and him."

Arich's confidence has returned.

"I'm six, he's four!"

"Excellent! As expected of the number one young talent in our Great Liao! Aliqi, I'm counting on you for this battle!"
