After Qin Hanyu struck the Heavenly Maiden and scattered the flowers, only half of the besieging water bandits were left, and the enemy was even more stretched.

On the other side of the battlefield, the thirty masters in the hall are indeed powerful, but because of Qin Hanyu's existence, most of them were pinned, so more than 20 guards and 50 government soldiers were not weaker than a dozen or so masters in the hall plus some water bandits.

The situation gradually stabilized.

Zhen Si saw that he couldn't attack for a long time, and he had no other backhand, so he knew that today's things were unsustainable.

If the fight continues, if the government still has reinforcements, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.

Where there is life, there is hope!

Zhen Si is also a decisive person, he gritted his teeth, smashed the attack of Lin He and the three of them with a tiger head ring knife, jumped out of the battle group, waved his hand, stared at the tiger, and shouted: "Brothers,!" ”

When the bandits heard the order, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and retreated together while attacking.

Looking at Zhen Si, who formed a hug and retreated while fighting, Lin He sneered and raised his arms and shouted: "The enemy is cowardly, kill with me!" ”

"Kill!"

Hearing the roar of the mountains and a tsunami, the water bandits were even more cowardly, but the main force of the water bandits was never destroyed, so Zhen Si continued to stabilize the morale of the army, but he did not mess up the formation.

The main force of the water bandits quickly opened up the distance between them and everyone, Lin He narrowed his eyes, and then shouted at the bare cliff above the high post: "Zhao Ming, release the arrow!" ”

The ten officials who had been lying in ambush on the cliff for half a day poked their heads out of it, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and shot towards Zhen Si condescendingly!

The dense rain of arrows "swished" towards Zhen Si's formation.

The water bandits were caught off guard, and most of them were killed and injured in an instant!

Damn! Sure enough, there are ambushes!

Zhen Si changed color violently, and while swinging his big knife to swing away the rows of attacking arrows, he shouted: "Brothers, follow me!" ”

After that, Zhen Si took the lead in rushing to the dense forest of Gaogang, and the water bandits behind hurriedly followed.

The officers and soldiers were still waiting to chase after him, but Lin He frowned, waved his hand, and said, "When Lin Mo enters, don't chase it!" ”

The crowd said yes.

The rain was unstoppable, and the wind was blowing.

In the Liurong Road, dozens of corpses lay on the ground, rain mixed with blood water flowed everywhere, the valley wind blew, and a huge smell of blood wafted around, causing some eagles and doves in the sky to hover here, "chirping" non-stop.

Lin He had just returned with his troops, and the caravan owner, who had been hiding in the carriage, greeted him with a smile, squinted his little eyes and arched his hand: "Thank you for this envoy for coming to the rescue!" I can't thank you enough! ”

The Zhang brothers beside him also hugged their fists and thanked them: "The grace of the forest thief Cao to save his life cannot be repaid, if he is sent in the future, he can go to Wuchang County Sitong Dart Bureau to find my two brothers!" ”

"Three, please get up." Lin He smiled and said, "Catching thieves and arresting murderers is a matter of official duty, and it should not be such a big gift." ”

The three of them then got up, and the fat merchant smiled and waved behind him.

Three servants came with three wooden plates covered with red cloths.

The fat merchant lifted the red cloth, and three plates of shining silver cakes came into Lin He's eyes.

"Lin thief Cao, just a small courtesy, I hope to accept it!" The fat merchant said with a smile.

Lin He was stunned by this "mere gift", it was the first time in his life that he had seen so much silver—about two or three hundred taels.

Two or three taels of silver are given away at will?

Evil tyrants!

Lin He was secretly speechless, waved his hand, and said, "Your Excellency is polite." ”

"So that you don't have to refuse, if you don't repay the grace of saving your life, it will be difficult for the contemptible to sleep and eat!" The fat merchant hurriedly said.

The two of you pushed me again, and Lin He was helpless, so he had to say: "Since Lord Lang is so gracious, then I might as well be respectful." ”

"In this case, I will make the decision and give this silver to the soldiers, what do you think?"

The fat merchant smiled, "Since it's the king's thing, it's naturally up to the king!" ”

"Okay, Wang Jie! Come here! Lin He waved his hand.

Wang Jie heard the greeting and hurriedly trotted over.

"Forest thief Cao!"

"Have you counted the casualties?" Lin He looked at Wang Jie and asked in a condensed voice.

Wang Jie arched his hand and responded: "My lord, the count has been completed, and the brothers have killed three in battle, seriously injured four, and lightly injured eleven people!" ”

Lin He bowed his head and said solemnly: "Distribute these silvers, record those who died in battle, and distribute them to their families." ”

"My lord......" Wang Jie looked at the silver, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, do you want to leave a copy for you?" ”

Lin He shook his head, "I don't have to, give my share to those dead brothers and families." ”

Seeing so much silver, there are too few people who can hold back their greed.

Lin He's approach made Wang Jie awe-inspired, he didn't say anything more, just arched his hand and said: "Yes, Lin Thief Cao!" ”

With that, he waved his hand and motioned for a few people around him to carry the silver over.

When all the officers and soldiers saw the silver hair, they all smiled.

"And the silver?" Tao Ergou asked happily.

Tao Ergou didn't look injured, but he was gray and dirty.

Wang Jie looked at Lin He and replied in a low voice: "It was given to Lin Thief Cao by that businessman, and Lin Thief Cao didn't keep any of them, and sent them all to us!" ”

"Forest thief Cao...... What a good officer! Tao Ergou cried with a handful of snot and tears, as if he was really moved.

However, the smooth movement of carrying the silver into his arms betrayed him.

Of course, Tao Ergou is indeed very grateful to Lin He, not only instructing him in martial arts, but also giving out a lot of silver, compared to such a Shangguan and heavy teeth, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud!

Especially teaching himself martial arts, in today's battle, Tao Ergou has repeatedly dodged many deadly attacks with the posture of five birds, if he doesn't know how to play five birds, I'm afraid that the person who died in the battle will have to add himself!

Tao Ergou happily touched the silver in his arms, feeling much more down-to-earth.

Wang Jie glanced at him with disgust and got up to leave.

……

At the invitation of the fat merchant, Lin He promised to wait for the caravan to clean up and go out of the valley together - after all, Lin He was too embarrassed to refuse.

After discussing, Lin He walked up to Qin Hanyu's side, looked her up and down, and asked, "Qin Shangcha, are you okay?" ”

Qin Hanyu shook his head slightly.

Lin He said with a smile: "Qin Shangcha did not let the women have eyebrows, and set an example for the soldiers, and the lower officials admired it!" ”

This is not Lin He's deliberate praise, but admiration from the heart.

In today's battle, Qin Hanyu is the absolute main force.

Lin He didn't expect Zhen Si's martial arts to be so high, if Qin Hanyu hadn't contained Tu San and most of the Shangtang water bandits, I'm afraid that today's battle, even if it was won, would be a tragic victory.

Qin Hanyu smiled slightly, and said lightly: "You have an overreputation." ”

"I'm not talking nonsense, Qin Shangcha is not only strong in martial arts, but also graceful, but he is a well-deserved goddess in the hearts of all soldiers...... Ahem......"

Lin He coughed dryly twice, and quickly stopped his mouth, slightly embarrassed.

I was trained last time, but this time I still can't help but talk about it, it's really shameless!

Lin He couldn't wait to give himself a slap.

"Do you think so too?" Qin Hanyu's voice was like a fine mosquito.

"What?" Lin He was in a state of self-blame, not paying attention to what Qin Hanyu said.

Qin Hanyu glanced at Lin He coldly, and no longer spoke, but on the crystal clear earroots, a touch of blush lingered.
