Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

The soldiers of Qingfeng Village were following Hua Rong as they walked along the mountain path.

"Zhizhai, this time Liu Gao is definitely up to no good!"

One of Hua Rong's confidants, who was close to Hua Rong, said with some dissatisfaction.

"Alright, after all, they are the magistrate of Zhengzhi Village, so you have to respect them."

Hua Rong was educating his trusted confidant.

After all, he was no longer the supreme commander of Qingfeng Village; Liu Gao was. If he disrespected him, he could easily be punished.

"Alright, Magistrate, where should we attack first this time?"

At this time, the people of Qingfeng Village were unaware that the three mountains had united, and they were still thinking of defeating them one by one.

"Let's go to Peach Blossom Mountain first, start with the easiest one, then White Tiger Mountain, and finally Qingfeng Mountain."

Hua Rong's idea was to start with the easy tasks and then move on to the difficult ones, hoping to persuade one of them to surrender.

Yes, it's Peach Blossom Mountain. In the eyes of the government, Peach Blossom Mountain is the easiest to deal with.

"White Tiger Mountain is probably going to fight us to the death. I killed their leader, so White Tiger Mountain will definitely not let it go. Therefore, if Peach Blossom Mountain can be persuaded to surrender, it will be a great help to us."

Hua Rong still wanted to persuade Peach Blossom Mountain to surrender, since, to be honest, the two bandits from Peach Blossom Mountain hadn't done many strange things.

Hua Rong had heard of Zhou Tong; although he was a bit lecherous, the guy was probably not quite right in the head.

He would give betrothal gifts to whoever he fancied; he didn't seem like a bandit at all.

Of course, Zhou Tong was also a complete idiot.

The group slowly walked into a mountain path. The mountains were high and the forests were deep on both sides. It was also very quiet. After walking for a while, Hua Rong suddenly signaled the group to stop and be on guard.

"The magistrate?"

The trusted soldier was somewhat puzzled.

"All troops halt! Retreat immediately along the original route; we'll take a detour!"

Cold sweat dripped down Hua Rong's forehead.

"See the sky above the trees on both sides? Birds fly high and don't go in. There's definitely something wrong inside!"

"We've been ambushed! Retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

His trusted confidant immediately went to inform the entire army.

Hua Rong quickly instructed everyone to prepare for defense, especially against attacks from both sides.

"Huh? Why did they stop?"

On one side of the mountain were the armies of some henchmen from White Tiger Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain, and on the other side were the troops from Peach Blossom Mountain.

Hua Rong's performance just now left everyone a little bewildered.

Were they discovered?

It shouldn't be.

But when they saw that the Qingfeng Village troops were actually retreating, they became uneasy.

"Do it! Don't let them out!"

Kong Liang immediately gave the order to take action!

In an instant, the men from White Tiger Mountain appeared first, raising large logs and stones and smashing them down!

"Right side! Wood and stone attack! Defend!"

Hua Rong quickly signaled for defense and also signaled for a hasty retreat!

"On the left! There are some on the left too!"

After a while, the forces from Peach Blossom Mountain on the left also appeared, launching the same attack with large rocks and logs!

In this type of terrain, falling wood and stones can be extremely damaging!

In a short time, the soldiers of Qingfeng Village had already suffered casualties!

"Those from White Tiger Mountain, charge with me!"

Kong Liang jumped out and led the henchmen of White Tiger Mountain down the mountain!

"Qingfeng Mountain! Charge with me!"

"Peach Blossom Mountain! Charge!"

With the White Tiger Mountain forces taking the lead, the troops from other mountains followed suit and charged over!

"Main force, follow me! Charge outwards!"

Hua Rong immediately understood that today's situation was pre-planned!

"Chief! Our retreat has been blocked!"

A soldier returned and reported that the main road they had retreated on was now full of stones and logs!

"Take a group of men and quickly clear the road! The rest of you, follow me to defend against the enemy!"

Hua Rong didn't panic. On one hand, he personally took to the field, drawing his bow and shooting down several of the ringleaders. On the other hand, he quickly ordered his men to clear the road, as they needed to get out of this unfavorable terrain as soon as possible!

"Hua Rong! I am your opponent!"

Kong Liang, holding a spear in one hand, forcefully swung a javelin with the other, attempting to harm Hua Rong.

However, the two were too far apart, and Hua Rong was completely focused, so he naturally couldn't hurt him!

"Go! Engage him!"

Kong Liang realized that this wouldn't work; he would have to use his soldiers to build up the defenses first. Fortunately, he had made special preparations to counter Hua Rong, the sharpshooter.

"Shields! Form ranks! Charge!"

From the White Tiger Mountain formation, thirty or forty burly men emerged, each carrying a thick shield and a large sword in their other hand.

These swordsmen and shield bearers were the White Tiger Mountain's trump card. Their shields were all obtained through Song Jiang's connections, from the best shields in the Yuncheng armory!

These swordsmen and shield bearers formed a shield formation and, under the cover of the others, charged towards Hua Rong!

"Zhizhai! Watch out for the shield formation!"

Hua Rong has now become a sniper emplacement, surrounded by trusted soldiers who protect him and allow him to support the battlefield with his bow and arrow.

Seeing the shield formation charging towards them, the trusted soldiers quickly warned Hua Rong to be careful!

"Hmm? From White Tiger Mountain?"

The clothes of the henchmen from the Three Mountains were different. After Hua Rong came to his senses, he realized that the most aggressive ones who came at him were the people from White Tiger Mountain!

He immediately understood that this was White Tiger Mountain seeking revenge for their chieftain!

"Look at the arrow!"

Faced with this shield formation, Hua Rong didn't hesitate. He picked up a long arrow and fired it with all his might!

After receiving guidance from Ren Yuan, he worked hard to improve his strength, and now his archery combines power, speed, and accuracy, making it extremely powerful!

This arrow can pierce armor and split rocks, no problem!

"Boom!"

As expected, a long arrow pierced straight into a shield, the shaft still trembling!

However, the person behind the shield was unharmed! Instead, they continued moving!

"how is this possible?"

Hua Rong frowned.

"Of course, it's to guard against you!"

Kong Liang followed behind the shield formation, a cold smile playing on his lips.

How could he not know that Hua Rong's bow and arrow were powerful and could possibly break through a shield with a single arrow?

In order to subdue Hua Rong, he specially ordered the shield bearers to tie several wet sandbags behind their shields!

Although this makes the shield heavier, it effectively prevents injury after the shield is pierced by a bullet!

Even if your archery skills are amazing, so what?

If you can't break through my thickened shield, you're useless!

Yes, Hua Rong is indeed no good. In this situation, we need someone who can shatter the entire shield with a single arrow.

Such people are extremely rare, but surprisingly, Hua Rong actually knows one.

"Raise your guns! Hold off that shield formation first!"

Seeing that his arrows could not damage the shield formation, Hua Rong did not continue to fight head-on. Instead, he chose to continue to use his arrows to support other places and let other soldiers block the advance of the shield formation!

I admit that the shield formation is powerful, but in close combat, do you think I, Hua Rong, am someone to be trifled with?

The Hua family's spear technique! That's truly exceptional!

Hua Rong is not some one-trick pony who is only average in archery and not in other subjects!

"Chief! The escape route has been cleared!"

A soldier, his face covered in blood, rushed up to Hua Rong and said...

"Alright! You guys get out first! I'll cover you!"

Hua Rong had just finished shooting all the arrows in his quiver, then pulled out the silver spear stuck beside him and coldly looked at the shield formation that was getting closer and closer to him!

Today, I, Little Li Guang, am going to tell you tough guys that I'm not only good at archery, but also at spearmanship!

Meanwhile, Kong Liang, hiding behind the shield formation, grinned. He took a can of kerosene from his trusted aide! This stuff was extremely precious; it ignited very quickly!

As Hua Rong drew closer, Kong Liang felt as if he were seeing his older brother again!

Brother, don't worry, I'll avenge you right away!

"Hey, Second Master Kong, what are you doing?"

Yan Shun charged in from the other side, his broadsword still dripping blood.

"Brother Yan, have you ever seen a man who can transform into fire?"

Kong Liang chuckled, which Yan Shun found particularly creepy.

"If you've never seen it before, I'll show you right now!"
