Chapter 162: Retreat first
Song Jiang hid behind, Hua Rong rushed towards Pang He with confidence, and from time to time he also took an arrow, Pang He either dodged or blocked it with Linglong, and soon the two began to fight in close combat.
Although Hua Rong has superb archery skills, his marksmanship is also very good, and he did not suffer a loss in the fight with Pang He, which of course has a lot to do with Pang He's failure to use all his strength. Even if it is an opponent, Hua Rong is a character that Pang He admires very much, he is cold, not reckless, knows how to measure, and is not like Li Kui who kills at every turn. And through these few fights, Hua Rong also showed his intolerance for his brothers, especially Chao Gai, even if Song Jiang wanted to get rid of Chao Gai, Hua Rong still tried not to make a move. may be like what Pang He understood in "Water Margin", Song Jiang gave Hua Rong a chance to display his talents, just like Bole gave Maxima a chance to run, so Hua Rong was so loyal to Song Jiang, even if Song Jiang died in the end, he would be buried in front of Song Jiang's grave.
Hua Rong also felt the mercy of Pang He's subordinates, and said, "I don't need you to be polite to me, just use any tricks." ”
It seems that Hua Rong still understands himself, Pang He smiled: "Brother Hua, you can even see this, don't you know Song Jiang's personality?"
Hua Rong said: "What kind of person my brother is, I know in my heart, I don't need you to sow discord here." ”
Pang He said: "Since you know what kind of person Song Jiang is, why are you so desperate, do you know what the consequences of being with Song Jiang are, Cai Jing is not a good stubble, sooner or later he will attack you!"
Hua Rong said: "If you want to fight, why bother talking nonsense! What kind of road is it, I Hua Rong will go by myself, and I will never worry about you Pang He!"
With a blow to the flying dragon Xiangyun, Hua Rong felt Pang He's strength increase significantly, and the horse also felt a more powerful impact than before, and took a step back. Mu Hong, who was not far away, saw it and felt that Hua Rong might have suffered a loss by fighting like this, so he hurriedly rushed over and prepared to deal with Pang He with Hua Rong.
Hua Rong saw that Mu Hong was going to come over to help, and refused: "Let me do my business, what's more, I haven't fought enough." ”
Pang He said: "It's okay for the two of you to go together, I want to see what kind of power you have together." ”
As he spoke, Huang Xin also came over: "Then add me!"
Pang He mocked: "There are Lu Bu and three heroes in the past, today, let me Pang He come to beat the three of you and see if one more pustule for you will get in the way." ”
Pang He said this, Mu Hong will definitely not choose to withdraw from the battle, and join forces with Huang Xin to immediately enter the battle, I have to say that the combined power of these three people is to make Pang He feel a little unbearable, after resisting a few moves, Pang He retreated as an advance, and adopted the method of dispersing the three of them to break each other, and wandered in the battle between the two armies.
Mu Hong smiled: "What's the matter, I was boasting just now, I think about this ability, I respect you as a hero, but don't blame me for being unkind!"
Huang Xin said: "What nonsense to talk to him, let's kill him, the others will be solved, let his cowhide blow into the sky, the three of us will slaughter him today!"
Pang He laughed, dodged, and immediately swallowed thousands of miles of smoke with one move, and directly knocked Huang Xin off the horse: "Is it exaggerated, it depends on whether you can win or not, I will say it again, I Pang He misses the brotherhood of the past, so spare you, you want to die, and I Pang He will also be fulfilled!"
Huang Xin was the weakest of the three, and under Pang He's surprise attack, he fell to the ground, spitting blood, and looked at Pang He unwillingly.
Mu Hong and Hua Rong immediately launched a pincer attack, Pang He still took the opportunity to retreat frequently, and then found the opportunity to attack, sometimes retreating, sometimes attacking, after all, for Pang He, Mu Hong and Hua Rong are quite opponents, if they take a hard fight, it will definitely be invincible.
At that moment, there was a sudden thunderclap and a torrential rain, which suddenly slowed down the battle, and then stopped.
The two armies returned to their positions, ready to fight again at the right time. Pang He took a look at the situation of his troops and felt that with the current situation, it was better to withdraw to Zengtou City and then consider it. If you want to be surprised, it is a little impossible, the only ones who can do the surprise are Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, now there must be no detour behind Song Jiang, if you continue to fight like this, the loss of yourself is too great, and even if Lu Zhishen and Wu Song go behind Song Jiang, they will not be able to form an effective pinch. It's better to change the way, let Song Jiang pursue, slow down when the time comes, wait until Lu Zhishen and Wu Song successfully reach the rear, and then reverse the spearhead and attack.
Thinking of this, Pang He asked Shi Wengong, Su Ding, and Lin Chong to discuss together, and told the three of them his thoughts, and the three of them also felt that there was some reason, so they began to prepare to retreat, and left some barriers on the road to slow down Song Jiang's advance, and by the way, it also caused a kind of confusion to Song Jiang, so as to facilitate the implementation of the plan.
Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Pang He led the army to slowly retreat towards Zengtou City. The signs of retreat were also noticed by Song Jiang and them.
Wu Yong said: "Retreating at this time, I'm afraid it's a fraud." ”
Guan Sheng said: "There must be a reason for him to retreat at this time, and it must be a blow to morale." If we go in pursuit, we will have an ambush that will be even worse. ”
Song Jiang said: "Yes, Pang He is too treacherous, we have suffered too many losses, let's check how the situation is first, and we are pursuing!"
Guan Sheng said: "If we don't pursue now, then we are very willing to miss the best opportunity, it is better for us to chase while seeing what tricks he has, if not, we will eat them in one go." ”
Wu Yong said: "What Guan Sheng said is also in the end, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, once you miss it, you may not have a chance." Although Pang He has some resourcefulness, but his forces are there, it is very difficult to defeat us, and only by some stratagem can we have a chance of winning, which is why they dare not fight us. Another point, Pang He must have wanted to eliminate us first when he sent troops this time, but he failed to eliminate us before Guan Sheng brought his troops here, which caused us to unite and he couldn't deal with it. In this case, it was not unreasonable for him to retreat. ”
Guan Sheng said: "That's right, before I came, I had already sent Xuanzan and Hao Siwen to march from another way, if we don't catch up now, then they will be more than lucky." So, we can only catch up. ”
Song Jiang listened and said, "Okay, let's get ready, and now chase after it." ”
