Chapter Ninety-Six: Rescue Operations

Pang He withdrew the crossbowmen on the side of the bridge, and Gao Yu and Song Jiang also sent the people to build the bridge, but Wu Yong continued to use the people as shields and held the people across the bridge to ensure the safe crossing of the river. When Pang He received the news, his face was sad, it was very simple, if Gao Yu planned to use the people as a shield, then all his strategies would have no room for use, and he would be led away.

In this regard, Pang He hurriedly recruited people to discuss, Pang He said: "Now Song Jiang's troops are holding the people hostage to cross the bridge, I think since they are determined to use the people as a protective shield, they will inevitably use the people to blackmail us until the city is broken." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "I can't imagine that they are so unconscionable, and they actually use the people, and the Sprinkle family really wants to use my water mill Zen stick to directly kill them." ”

Zhu Wu said: "Now they should be poor in donkey skills, and they can only use innocent people to deal with us." We can only blame that we didn't think they would do this in the first place, if we couldn't attack them now. If we attack them, the lives of the people will be threatened, and how to rescue them is our top priority. ”

Wu Song said: "But how can we save the people now?"

Pang He said: "No matter what, we have to save." Now Song Jiang is very smart, he looks at the people well, does not let us have the opportunity to get close to the people, and once there is a change, he will attack the people at any time. ”

Zhu Wu said: "Then if we attack at night while they are sleeping to save people, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Lin Chong said: "Okay, we can try, if they have completed crossing the river and continue to lead the people to approach Huaiyin City, then it will be even more difficult for us to save them." ”

"Yes, we have to try, they haven't finished crossing the river yet, we have a good chance of cutting them off," Pomp said. ”

Zhu Wu said: "Yes, we can break the bridge again and separate them, and those who cross the bridge in front of Song Jiang can be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

Pang He said: "Well, I think so too, let's first think of a way to separate the people from Song Jiang and them, and then launch a fierce offensive to defeat them in one fell swoop." Do you think that if we use the method of attacking the east and west, can we minimize the casualties of the people? ”

Yang Zhi said: "I don't think we have a way to attack the east and west, if we launch an attack, then Song Jiang and they can just keep an eye on the people, they have the talisman of the people, and they can ignore us at all." ”

Zhu Wu said: "You can't say that, it's impossible for them to ignore us. If we approach step by step, they will not be able to do anything to the people, and if they kill the people, then their amulets will be gone. In other words, the people are an object that we do not want to harm, and likewise, for them, they are also an object that cannot be exterminated. They should know that as long as we are reasonably persecuted, if they do not feel that it is a last resort, there is no threat to the lives of the people, and some of them are just posturing. ”

Pang He said: "Well, that's right, if we hadn't forced him to have no choice, I don't think Song Jiang would be stupid enough to kill the people." So let's take the night and cut the bridge they have built in the middle, and divide them in two. ”

Zhu Wu agreed: "They now feel that the people are in their hands, they can sit back and relax, and their precautions will naturally fall, at this time we send people to break the bridge, then, the person they cross the bridge is a piece of meat in front of us, and they can be easily annihilated." ”

"We're going to slow down the time for them to cross the bridge now, and then we'll send a team of people to harass them and delay their crossing of the bridge," Pang He said. ”

After making a plan, Pang He sent Sun Li to take a team of men and horses to meet Song Jiang by the broken bridge, and Song Jiang's men and horses naturally became vigilant, and it was not easy to chase at this time, so they could only watch, and they were all worried about whether Sun Li would suddenly attack.

And Sun Li watched quietly from a distance, without any other movements, but this was enough to give Song Jiang's men and horses some deterrent effect.

It was getting dark, and Sun Li lit a torch, still watching quietly, like a ghost, obvious, but he didn't know what he was going to do.

Time felt like it was going to be a long time, at least for Song Jiang and Wu Yong. Finally, Guan Sheng decided to lead his troops to greet Sun Li, and when Sun Li saw someone chasing him, he ordered the torches to be extinguished, and then quickly retreated. In the dark, Guan Sheng naturally did not dare to pursue, because he couldn't see anything in front of him, and if there was fraud, then the whole army might be wiped out.

Soon after Guan Sheng went back, Song Jiang already felt a little relieved, after all, this ghost was gone, and he didn't have to worry about who was watching him.

At this moment, a smell of smoke wafted in the air, slowly, getting stronger and stronger, Song Jiang and Wu Yong hurriedly ordered to be on guard, and looked at the people.

At this time, the three Ruan brothers climbed the bridge from the river with the water army of Huaiyin City and destroyed the bridge, Song Jiang seemed to feel that Pang He's real intention was to break the bridge at this time, and hurriedly sent people to support and rescue the bridge, Gao Yu too, but where can the temporary bridge withstand the toss, the three Ruan brothers with gunpowder devastation, the temporary knock was quickly destroyed.

Before Song Jiang came to his senses, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, and Sun Li arrived with cavalry, because the people were in front, so it was very simple to find the people, and without defense, they killed in front of the people. When the people saw Pang He's men and horses coming to save them, they also began to resist, so that the casualties of the people increased somewhat, but fortunately, it was not very large.

After rescuing the people, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, and Sun Li continued to assault Song Jiang's troops, and Song Jiang saw that the bridge had been destroyed, and sighed in his heart that the situation was not good, but in fact, the situation was indeed quite bad.

The bridge had been destroyed, and the three Ruan brothers quickly evacuated, and Gao Yu rushed to repair the bridge overnight, because he already felt that if the bridge was not repaired as soon as possible, then the people who had crossed the bridge before would inevitably be wiped out by Pang He's troops.

On the other side of the bridge, Pang He is leading the army to approach step by step, Song Jiang, who has crossed the river, began to be restless, the talisman of the people has been taken away, and now their own people have not all come, Pang He's men and horses have been killed, I believe that it will not be long before the army will be killed, at that time, there is no way to retreat.
