Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The cavalry battle actually progressed very quickly.

The scene was quite lively as the two groups clashed, but after a few charges, it became clear that both sides were short-handed.

Many were already lying on the ground, including Liao people and Zhengtian cavalry, but what was surprising was that, judging from the clothing of the fallen people, there were actually more Liao cavalrymen who had fallen!

Yelü Guozhen was tightly entangled by Lin Chong and had no ability to command his guards. He could only try his best to parry and defend himself amidst the barrage of gunfire.

When Lin Chong unleashed his spear, even opponents of equal skill level might not be able to break free from his grasp, let alone Yelü Guozhen, whose skill was inferior to Lin Chong's.

He has no way to escape!

However, Yelü Guozhen was also a ruthless man. Realizing that he couldn't escape, he simply stopped running and fought Lin Chong to the death!

"Okay, not bad, but this is a bit slow... Drink up!"

Lin Chong was still the same Lin Chong, known for his ability to wear down opponents and offer commentary. After exchanging more than twenty blows with the desperate Yelü Guozhen, seeing that Yelü Guozhen was also at a similar level, Lin Chong didn't waste any words. He let out a thunderous roar, which made Yelü Guozhen's mind tremble and his spear movements slow down by three points.

And then, that was it. Lin Chong thrust his spear directly into Yelü Guozhen's neck. When he pulled it out, there was a huge hole in Yelü Guozhen's neck, and blood gushed out like it was free!

After defeating Yelü Guozhen, Lin Chong did not linger. He noticed that the soldiers around him were also engaged in a fierce battle, so Lin Chong decisively rushed into the area where the soldiers were fighting intensely to help them kill the enemy.

However, Yelü Guozhen's personal guards were indeed formidable fighters. Even though their commander was gone, they did not surrender and fought the Zhengtian Cavalry to the death.

Although the Zhengtian Cavalry had better equipment, which made up for their lack of horsemanship, and they were determined enough to fight and ruthless enough to deal with the Liao people.

But as the saying goes, the ruthless are afraid of the reckless. When the Liao people are reckless, even elite troops like the Zhengtian Cavalry suffer losses.

The initial advantage gained by using weapons was quickly turned around by the Liao people, bit by bit.

If Lin Chong hadn't arrived in time, the Zhengtian Cavalry might have been at a disadvantage!

The battle lasted for more than an hour. When the last Liao cavalryman was stabbed off his horse, Lin Chong discovered that the two battalions of Zhengtian Cavalry had also suffered heavy losses!

As the old saying goes, killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own is a losing proposition. In this battle, although Lin Chong's two battalions of Zhengtian cavalry did not lose eight hundred, the total number of casualties should still exceed half.

This was only because Lin Chong was followed by someone who went berserk, charging back and forth among the more than a thousand elite Liao cavalry, which relieved the pressure on the soldiers of the Zhengtian Cavalry.

Perhaps the only relatively comfortable thing is that after this battle, the Zhengtianqi were able to capture more than a thousand warhorses, which can be considered as a partial compensation for the losses.

"Senior brother, how is it?"

Ren Yuan also arrived when Lin Chong and the others were cleaning up the battlefield.

He had already taken control of the camp. Hearing that Lin Chong was pursuing the enemy, he feared for Lin Chong's safety and came to check on him.

"That's alright, at least we captured some warhorses."

Lin Chong said that he could accept today's battle casualty ratio.

"We lost... a battalion?"

Ren Yuan looked at the battlefield, made a rough estimate, and came to a conclusion that made him somewhat sad.

"Junior brother, this is already very good. There are a thousand people on the other side, and they are all elites."

Lin Chong comforted Ren Yuan.

"Senior brother, the Zhengtian Cavalry is the strongest cavalry in our Dayi, and with you, a top-notch general, leading them, their equipment is the best. Although the Liao cavalry is elite, they shouldn't be the strongest in the Liao Kingdom, right? How come they still suffer such heavy casualties?"

Ren Yuan said that this was unreasonable. Otherwise, how about equipping the Sky Chariots with muskets next time? Let's fire as many as we can.

"It's already very good. Look at me, I dare to fight them even when the numbers are roughly the same. If it were the old Zhao Song army, they would not have been able to take down these thousand or so cavalry without three to five times the number of troops."

Lin Chong said, "This is already a very good result. You should be content."

"...Senior brother, collect the bodies of our fallen brothers properly. They were all heroes. We can't let them lie exposed in the wilderness. I'll have Xiao Rang write their biographies and Da Jian erect a monument for them later."

"Take all the wounded back to Liaozhou City. In addition to the doctors from the Huichun Army, have the famous doctors in Liaozhou City treat them as well. Money for medicine is not a problem. Give me the best medicine!"

"Use these warhorses to compensate some of the Sky Chaser Cavalry for their losses this time. Keep the rest under guard and await distribution!"

Ren Yuan issued several orders in succession.

"Junior brother, how's the situation on your end? Those two Liao generals...?"

Lin Chong was somewhat curious.

"Oh, you mean those two, senior brother? One is dead, and the other was captured alive by us. Including the one you have here, senior brother, this time three high-ranking generals of the Liao Kingdom have fallen into our hands."

Ren Yuan stated that if judged by the results, their achievements this time are of very high quality.

He had already gotten the information from some of the Liao people who could speak the official language of the Song Dynasty.

"The leader of this Liao army was named Yelü Zhangnu, a member of the Liao royal family, and we were quite related by blood. However, he was just killed by my junior brother."

"The first one to charge out and get pinned down by the warhorse was named Aliqi, who was the number one young talent in the Liao Kingdom."

"As for the two you chased just now, they are both imperial nephews. Like our brothers Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, their names also contain the character for 'precious' or 'treasure'. One is called Yelü Guozhen, and the other is called Yelü Guobao."

“They’re all from the Yelü family, they’re all royalty.”

After hearing this, Lin Chong was somewhat moved. Although the Liao Kingdom and the Zhao Song Kingdom were enemies, you have to admit that their royal family was really capable. In fact, every generation had someone who could take the place!

This is far superior to the Zhao family; in fact, Emperor Taizong's lineage has produced almost no outstanding individuals...

"Junior brother, what about the person who was pinned down by the warhorse? He's quite skilled in martial arts, so we need to be careful."

"His collarbone has been pierced, and he's chained up with heavy chains. He should be waking up soon. What's wrong, Senior Brother? Do you want to go see him?"

……

It hurts! It hurts so much!

I feel like my whole body is falling apart.

Arich could hear a constant cacophony of sounds around him. He tried to open his eyes, but his body seemed to have no will to obey him.

After he fell off his horse, he was knocked unconscious by the horse and remained under it for quite a while, resulting in numerous internal injuries.

After cleaning up the battlefield and pulling him out from under his warhorse, Ren Yuan immediately unleashed his ultimate move, piercing through the collarbone.

As for whether doing so would cripple Aliqi's martial arts skills, that was not within Ren Yuan's consideration.

"Senior brother, this is Aliqi."

Who? Who is calling my name?

Aliqi vaguely heard someone talking about him.

"Arich, I know you're not dead! Wake up! Tell me, do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
