Nanming Engineer

Chapter 39
More than half of the more than 100 water thieves guarding the foot of the mountain have disappeared, and the rest of them look at the long spear formation not far from here in panic, and at the end-to-end water boat fleet on the lake for a while. , After a while, he looked in the direction of the ancestor brothers, all of them looked terrified, like frightened birds.

So when Wang Huan and others on the top of the mountain lined up and rushed down the stone road with a bang, these water thieves who had been absent-minded immediately dispersed and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Seeing the water thieves running around everywhere, Li Tingyu and others rushed to the foot of the mountain, not knowing which way to go, the scene was extremely chaotic, people running around in a daze, but no one dared to flee to the small hill Come.

Wang Huan's eyes were sharp, and when he looked around, he saw a group of water thieves gathered together to a certain size not far away. In this case, they could still form a group. There was no other explanation except that there was an important leader there.

So Wang Huan led a spear formation of 20 people. Once the formation changed, it formed a two-layer circle. Wang Huan and Li Tingyu were in the middle. There were 12 people in the outer circle and six people in the inner circle. It was erected on the shoulders of the soldiers in the outer layer, forming a circular formation, and Li Tingyu who was in it gave the order, and everyone followed the order, walking slowly, and pressed towards the group of water thieves among the water thieves.

Li Tingyu's expression became serious. As a veteran, he knew very well that his small number of people were not enough to be thrown into the crowd of thousands of water pirates. As long as the water pirates came to their senses and surrounded them and hacked them without regard for life or death, this circular formation would Unable to hold on for half a quarter of an hour.According to his idea, he should move closer to Li Yan's spear formation, and then rely on the spear formation to suppress the water thieves and force them to the lake. This way, they will be able to catch them all in one fell swoop.

But Wang Huan objected, and his firm opposition made Li Tingyu helpless. He had developed a strange sense of dependence on this monk counselor. Even if Wang Huan said something that went against common sense and was unreasonable, Li Tingyu felt that he must have it. There's something in it that I don't understand.So he immediately and unconditionally supported Wang Huan's proposition, and with eighteen of his men, he rushed forward to protect Wang Huan without hesitation.

He was right in thinking, Wang Huan had a reason, and the reason was that he didn't have time.

Wang Huan could see Zu Tianci's injury clearly from the top of the mountain. The cup-sized wound and the gushing blood were shocking to see. If it dragged on for a while, Zu Tianci would undoubtedly die.

Therefore, Wang Huan cannot delay. If he waits until he meets Li Yan before pressing forward, all the blood of Zu Tianci will be drained.In fact, Wang Huan had long wanted to bring people down the mountain, but the water bandits hadn't been defeated yet, and coming down early would not produce any effect at all, and would only send the dozen or so people around him to be ghosts under the water bandits' knife.When the overall situation was decided and the water pirates' defeat was irreversible, Wang Huan couldn't wait to go down the mountain.

Zu Tianci's life, if possible, must be saved, this is Wang Huan's long-awaited idea.

The circular formation was getting closer and closer to the big rock where Zu Tianci was. Finally, when the people in the circular formation could see Zu Tianci lying unconscious on the big rock like a bloody man, Zu Bian woke up from his stupor. Seeing that a small group of Qing soldiers on the top of the mountain dared to come to the door to provoke me, my sister-in-law couldn't bear it. She gritted her teeth and jumped up, shouting angrily: "Brothers, the Qing dogs came to the door to beg for death. Everyone, please follow I'm going to kill the Qing dog to avenge the Second Master!" With a flick of the nine-ring ghost-headed sword, he jumped out first.

There were more than 200 water thieves who were loyal to the brothers of the ancestors and stood by their side. Immediately, they all followed behind the ancestors with red eyes and raised their knives, shouting, and rushed over fiercely.

Li Tingyu's face turned dark when he saw the crowds coming, and he felt a little regretful, but it was useless to say anything at this time, and the ruthlessness of the military man also came to his head, holding up his spear and hissing loudly: "Everyone, don't mess around, Take it easy, no matter how many water thieves there are, they are cowards, don't mess around, I will cut off the head of anyone who falls off the chain!"

Zu Bian was already close by, and when he heard Li Tingyu's yell, he said with a smirk: "Qinggou still underestimates me, okay! I want to see, who will be the coward when he loses his head!" Suddenly, the black water thieves surrounded the circle with a huff, and surrounded the circle with a much thicker circle, completely enclosing the small circle.

Li Yan, who was at the tip of the spear formation in the distance, saw Li Tingyu and Wang Huan surrounded. He couldn't understand why the adults and the councilors would come down the mountain voluntarily while they were not guarding the high places.But time was running out so that he had no time to think, so he could only speed up and approach the encirclement, trying to get out of the encirclement as soon as possible.

However, people are in the formation and cannot help themselves. The sharp cone formation is a powerful formation that breaks the formation, but there is a problem, that is, the entire spear formation has its own speed, and there is a certain conversion process between speed and speed. Slow down if you want to, no matter how anxious you are, you have to speed up step by step, otherwise you will be separated from the group and fall into a lonely situation.Li Yan had no choice but to keep shouting: "Quick!" to speed up the advance of the gun array.

Far from being able to quench his thirst, Li Tingyu glanced at Li Yan's position in his busy schedule, estimated the speed of the spear formation, and sighed in his heart, he had to rely on himself.

Just as he was worrying, he heard a thunder-like shout in his ears, shaking the air: "White-armed soldier Li Tingyu is here! Xiao Xiao, the water bandit, will be captured before he even puts his hands up!"

Li Tingyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, who the hell is this?Pretending to be Lao Tzu's name is so grandiose, the Lord has not yet spoken.He hurriedly glanced sideways, but immediately widened his eyes. This loud shout was actually made by Wang Huan!
Wang Huan held the dagger and didn't even look at Li Tingyu. He stared at Zu Bian outside the circle with angry eyebrows, pointed at his nose, jumped on his feet and shouted Huan!

"My ancestors, your two brothers were soldiers in Liaodong. I think you two heard about it even if you didn't participate in the battle of Hunhe. Three thousand white pole soldiers defeated [-] Jianzhou Eight Banners soldiers. How heroic. You are the Ming Dynasty. Soldier, it’s shameful to hide in this pool of water!” Wang Huan was like a street-swearing shrew, saliva splashing everywhere, pointing with one finger, almost jumping up to touch Zubian’s nose.

Zu Bian was taken aback by the yelling, but he had experienced this past event. The Battle of Hunhe in Liaodong was an integral part of the Battle of Shenyang. They lined up on the back of the river and fought to the death after Shenyang City was broken. Surrounded by tens of thousands of Qing troops, they died on both sides of the Hun River. The river was dyed red, but no one surrendered and fled. Ordinary soldiers become martyrs.At that tragic scene, after Zu Tianci and Zu Bian escaped from Shenyang City, they lay down on the hilltop in the distance and had a panoramic view.

Every time they recalled that day, the ancestral brothers sighed and fell deeply into self-blame. They felt that the two of them were simply not like men. As natives of Liaodong, they were not even as good as the ZJ guest troops in central Sichuan. They were simply too shameless to see anyone.So after the two of them fled to Jiangnan, they were too embarrassed to talk about their past, so they kept their names anonymous and became water pirates.

At this moment, Wang Huan nakedly uncovered the scar, Zu Bian blushed with shame, wishing that there would be a crack in the ground to get in, lowered his head and said nothing, and the ghost knife that was held high was weak and slowly hanging down. down.The water thieves who formed a circle looked at each other. The boss didn't move, and they didn't dare to move either.

This scene was so weird, the two armies were facing each other, but no one moved a knife or a gun. They stood in a circle watching a bald boy jumping and cursing in the street.
