Chapter 116

Zhang Liao's subordinates now could be said to have countless strong people.

Since receiving Liu Bian's reward, the 50,000 troops under Zhang Liao's command now all had at least the strength of third-rate martial generals.

Relying on the power of spirit stone fragments, there were now 1,000 people who had broken through to second-rate martial generals.

There were even a hundred people who had broken through to first-rate martial generals.

Even at the Divine General Realm, ten people had broken through.

And Li Su and the four, who started cultivating later, now also had the strength of first-rate martial generals.

It could be said that relying on this wave of spirit stone fragments, the strength in Zhang Liao's hands had doubled.

Moreover, this was still the result of not having used up all the spirit stone fragments.

As for Zhang Liao's cultivation, it had also broken through to the third layer of the Postnatal Realm at this time.

This was because he hadn't taken the Qi Gathering Pill bestowed by Liu Bian; otherwise, his cultivation could have broken through another layer.

Zhang Liao planned to save this Qi Gathering Pill until he reached the sixth layer of the Postnatal Realm before taking it.

At that time, relying on this Qi Gathering Pill, his cultivation would break through to the seventh layer of the Postnatal Realm in one go.

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he looked at the crowd with a solemn face and asked loudly:

"Does anyone have anything to add?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shouted: "No, we will strictly follow the General's orders!"

Seeing that everyone had no problems, Zhang Liao said to them again:

"Since there are no problems, then go and prepare!"

"We obey!"

After everyone cupped their hands and saluted Zhang Liao, they turned and exited the tent.

Soon, the time reached the Hai hour at night.

"General Li, General Wang, your task is the most important. Whether we can take Linrong City in one go depends on you!"

At this time, the 50,000-strong army under Zhang Liao had all gathered.

Before setting off, Zhang Liao exhorted Li Su and Wang Chang with a solemn expression.

"General, please rest assured. With General Zhang Long, a strong person at the Divine General Realm, and the cooperation of five first-rate martial general soldiers, plus the two of us first-rate martial generals, such a powerful strength guarantees that nothing will go wrong!"

Seeing Zhang Liao's solemn expression, Li Su didn't feel much pressure and laughed loudly at Zhang Liao.

"Exactly, we have dispatched such a powerful lineup. Even if that brat Liu Bao has great abilities, this time we will definitely keep him here!"

Wang Chang, who was on the side, also said loudly.

The expression in his words didn't put Liu Bao and his 10,000 troops in his eyes at all.

To be honest, they had fought for so many years and had never fought such a wealthy battle.

With this strength configuration, if they had 10,000 troops, they would dare to attack the Xiongnu Royal Court.

Let alone Liu Bao in Linrong City, who only had 10,000 troops and no powerful generals under his command.

If they still couldn't take Linrong City like this.

Then they wouldn't need to lead troops in the future; it would be better to go home and hold their children.

"Good, then I will leave it to you all. After taking Linrong City, I will personally ask for credit for you all before His Majesty!"

Looking at the high-spirited crowd, Zhang Liao didn't say much more, just promised the two solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Li Su and Wang Chang felt a jolt, their faces showing excitement.

"We thank the General!"

They were still very excited about the opportunity to show their faces before Liu Bian.

This was the person who passed down the martial arts cultivation method to them, and he was also the strongest person in the Han Dynasty at present.

According to General Zhang Liao, his cultivation had already reached the third layer of the Innate Realm.

One must know that Zhang Liao was only at the third layer of the Postnatal Realm now, and when he sparred with them, he already made them feel despair.

And how powerful would the Innate Realm, which surpassed the Postnatal Realm, be?

Afterward, Zhang Liao exhorted Zhang Long and the six again:

"Zhang Long, you six must protect the safety of the two generals."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Long and the six immediately felt a jolt and said solemnly to Zhang Liao:

"Please rest assured, General, we will definitely protect the safety of the two generals!"

Looking at the six with solemn expressions, Zhang Liao nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I will leave it to you all!"

After speaking, Zhang Liao cupped his hands solemnly to the few.

"General, you are too polite. We take our leave!"

After the few saw Zhang Liao's actions, they immediately dodged, cupped their hands and saluted Zhang Liao, and turned to leave.

After seeing Li Su and the others leave, Zhang Liao said solemnly to the remaining people:

"Jia Kui, Ding Li."

Following Zhang Liao's words, the two colonels under Zhang Liao's command, Ding Li and Jia Kui, immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands respectfully to Zhang Liao, and shouted loudly:

"We are here!"

Zhang Liao scanned the two majestically and said loudly:

"I order you two, with Jia Kui as the leader and Ding Li as the assistant, to lead 10,000 troops and wait outside the South Gate."

"After General Li Su and the others open the city gate, kill your way into the city from the South Gate at the first moment to meet General Li Su and the others."

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he looked at the two solemnly.

"We obey!"

Seeing the two, after hearing Zhang Liao's words, they responded loudly with firm faces.

"Hao Zhao, Du Yuan, take orders!"

Afterward, Zhang Liao shouted loudly to Hao Zhao and another colonel.

"We are here!"

The two also immediately cupped their hands to Zhang Liao and responded loudly.

"I order you two, with Hao Zhao as the leader and Du Yuan as the assistant, to lead 10,000 troops and wait outside the West Gate."

"If General Li Su and the others open the West Gate, you kill your way in from the West Gate."

"We obey!"

Hao Zhao and the other also responded loudly to Zhang Liao with firm faces.

Afterward, Zhang Liao looked at the remaining two and shouted loudly to them:

"Li Le, Zhao Yi, take orders!"

Upon hearing this, Li Le and Zhao Yi also immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands to Zhang Liao, and responded respectfully and loudly:

"We are here!"

"You two, with Zhao Yi as the leader and Li Le as the assistant, lead 10,000 troops and wait outside the North Gate."

"Similarly, if General Li Su opens the North Gate, then you kill your way in from the North Gate at the first moment."

"We obey!"

Zhao Yi and Li Le also responded loudly to Zhang Liao with firm faces.

"As for me, I will personally lead 5,000 troops and wait outside the East Gate!"

"This battle is our last battle in Bingzhou."

"As long as we can take Linrong City, then all nine commanderies of Bingzhou will be taken by us."

"Therefore, this battle is crucial to us. Does everyone have the confidence to follow me and take Linrong City in one go!"

After explaining the tasks to everyone, Zhang Liao said loudly to the crowd.

Upon hearing this, everyone's morale soared, and they shouted loudly to Zhang Liao:

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Seeing this, Zhang Liao nodded with satisfaction and secretly thought: "The morale of the army can be used!"

Afterward, he shouted to the crowd again:

"Good! You all are worthy of being my good sons of the Han. After taking Linrong City, I will celebrate your merits!"

"Now, I order, the whole army set off!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, the 50,000-strong army all set out.

Under the cover of night, they headed toward Linrong City...
