After five days, at noon on the fifth day, Lin Chong finally led the team back to the Yuelai Hotel on the west bank of Liangshanbo, and around the hotel, the prototype of a castle and market with a circumference of about ten miles had appeared.

The outer wall of the castle is a reinforced concrete structure, and the shape is not a square or rectangle as common in the Great Song Dynasty, but a bit similar to the fortress style of later generations, and a round tower protruding from the wall is built every less than 100 steps on the square city wall.

In this way, once the castle is attacked, the defenders can attack the enemy from multiple directions, and the city is small and strong, with a height of more than four zhang, and a pier and water gate have been built near the direction of the water berth.

With such a tight defense, as long as there are thousands of defenders and enough ordnance and materials, not to mention tens of thousands of enemy troops to attack, even hundreds of thousands of enemy elites to attack, it is impossible to attack it.

At this time, it is like a big construction site.

Truckloads of bricks, gravel, and timber are being delivered here, and several large booms have been built early in the morning.

Craftsmen from all over Yunzhou, even Puzhou, Guangjijun, Dongchangfu, and Daimyofu were stirring cement mortar in full swing, while others had already begun to build walls on the foundations that had already been built, and many prisoners of war were busy moving bricks or picking cement mortar.

In addition to these, outside the castle, on the playground that has been leveled, thousands of training recruits stationed here are training in queues, or standing in a military posture, or practicing walking in unison, or practicing queue turning, or running exercises, attracting a large number of nearby people, especially half-grown children, to watch the excitement, pointing, and admiring.

These Liangshan recruits eat well and dress well, they see it in their eyes every day, and many times these half-grown children can still get a little delicious food from these Liangshan soldiers, Dongpo meat, pork stewed vermicelli, braised meatballs, just think about it.

But the hardships of their military training are also really bitter!

At this time, seeing Lin Chong returning victoriously with a large army, these recruits who were training did not dare to move, while the other many Liangshan officers and soldiers who had been waiting here for a long time were all cheering one by one.

Lin Chong jumped off the horse with a smile, and saw that there were many new faces behind Wen Huanzhang who had never seen before, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, with anticipation and little excitement, Lin Chong arched his hand to everyone, and then looked back at Guan Sheng, Hao Siwen, Xuanzan, and introduced them to Wen Huanzhang and others.

After some greetings, knowing that the three of Guan Sheng had decided to join the Liangshan Army halfway through, Wen Huanzhang was also overjoyed, and immediately pulled a group of big men behind him to Lin Chong, and said happily: "The day before yesterday, I received the news that the military lord had successfully collected more than 20,000 imperial army troops, which made me really happy, but we have been on our side for a few days, and it is these heroes who admire me that the Liangshan Army is the first to advocate the banner of righteousness, look at the tyranny and righteousness of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and come to meet each other and gather together!" ”

Lin Chong hurriedly arched his hand to a few people again, and he was also looking forward to it, not knowing if there was one or several of the original one hundred and eight generals of Liangshan inside.

I saw Wen Huanzhang pulling the first tall man with long arms and introduced: "This brother's name is Li Cheng, the word Boyou, and a convert from Xiongzhou. He was originally in Xiongzhou to a private business leader as a captain of the guard, extremely brave, can hold a bow of 300 catties, heard that my Liangshan army wants to overthrow the tyranny of the Zhao and Song dynasties, recruit talents, so immediately Pegasus to vote! ”

After seeing Wen Huanzhang's introduction, Li Cheng didn't say a word, took a step forward and bowed to Lin Chong, and said: "I really don't hide it from my brother, my ancestor is the Jin people who were destroyed by Zhao Guangyi and fled in Taiyuan City."

The younger brother has been thinking about overthrowing Zhao Song all his life, but he is lonely and has been doing nothing. Brother Tianxingjun raised the banner of righteousness, raised the righteous soldiers, overthrew Zhao Song, walked for the sky, protected the territory and the people, the younger brother was overjoyed to come to the same place, and was willing to make a pawn for the elder brother, and hoped that the elder brother would include it! ”

When Lin Chong heard this, he hurriedly helped him up, but he was a little surprised in his heart, at first he heard Huan Zhang say that this person's name was Li Cheng, and Lin Chong immediately thought of the capital eunuch of Liang Zhongshu's subordinate in the famous mansion in the Water Margin story, and the Li Cheng nicknamed Li Cheng, the king of heaven.

Isn't this guy supposed to be a high-ranking officer in the Daimyo's Mansion? How could he come to vote for himself, after listening to him introduce his life experience, Lin Chong suddenly understood, it turned out that this Li Cheng was not Li Cheng.

Also, Li Cheng, the king of the Daimyo Mansion, hadn't heard of being a marksman, but the one in front of him could open a hard bow of 300 catties, which was stronger than the ordinary divine arm bow.

You must know that one stone in the Song Dynasty was about 92.5 catties, and 120 catties in later generations, Wen Huanzhang said that he could open a bow of three hundred catties, that is, a bow that could open more than three stones, and the general divine arm bow was only two stones and eight buckets.

And the general bow arm is much longer than the crossbow (the god arm bow is actually a crossbow), in the case of the same bow force, the longer the bow arm is charged, the farther the shot, so to speak, this Li Cheng can be said to be an out-and-out condor shooter!

Condor archers, even in grasslands or fishing and hunting peoples like Khitan or Jurchen, condor archers are one in a million, national treasure-level figures, and now they take the initiative to vote for themselves!

It seems that his "Seeking Zhao Weiwen" has really attracted a lot of talents!

"Call Brother Li Cheng such an eagle archer to be a pawn under my account, then everyone in the world will laugh at me Lin Chong is ignorant of people and uses people, Brother Li Cheng rest assured, you come thousands of miles to vote, there will be reuse!"

Although this Li Cheng is not the person in the Water Margin story, Lin Chong still doesn't know his character and character, but because of his ability and his determination to overthrow Zhao Song, Lin Chong will be important.

Because there are so many such people, Lin Chong dares to accept a little more generals from the Zhao and Song courts, otherwise, like the original Song Liangshan, those who can fight on Liangshan are almost all generals from the imperial court, except for Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Wu Song.

At that moment, Li Cheng was also overjoyed to be helped up and retreated to the side, at this time, Wen Huanzhang pulled a dwarf with a lattice and introduced to Lin Chong: "This brother's name is Ma Ling, he is nicknamed Shenjuzi, he is good at light work, good at making gold bricks, he was originally from Zhuozhou......"

Wen Huanzhang hadn't finished his introduction, but Guan Sheng couldn't help but whisper when he heard this: "Zhuozhou people's clan? Liao? ”

As soon as he heard this, Ma Ling suddenly blushed and had a thick neck, glared and said: "Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have been the land of the Han family since ancient times, and it was Shi Jingjiao who gave them to the Khitan dog in exchange for an emperor, and I was only born in Zhuozhou, but I am not from Liao, and I still have the blood of the Han people!" ”

Ma Ling's words immediately made everyone awe-inspired, Guan Sheng also knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly asked for guilt, but in his heart, he admired Lin Chong more and more, and even the Han people in Liao Kingdom came to meet with each other!
