In the middle of the question, there was a loud movement on the east side of Mudun Island, and standing at the foot of the hill, I could already hear the shouts coming from that side, and it was obvious that the soldiers and horses who had come ashore began to rush towards this side.

"Big brother, you have to get an idea quickly!" Zu Bian said hurriedly, his red face was full of sweat: "Do you want to fight or withdraw?" Brothers are waiting! ”

Zu Tianci looked at the ancestral side, and understood in his heart that Wang Tao had been killed, and the people who took the idea on the island counted themselves, and there were more than 1,000 brothers on the island, most of whom were surrounding the ancestral brothers, and the other Wang Tao's people were running around the island, and many of them ran to the east of the island, and at this time they were driven over by the Ming army who came ashore.

The island is narrow, and the people under the hill can already see that behind a group of chaotic water thieves in the distance, countless officers and soldiers wearing the mandarin duck robes of the Ming army are advancing in formation, with neat steps and long spears, chasing the heels of the running water thieves and rushing towards this side.

After weighing it in his heart, he decided to put the matter away first, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in this mess anyway. Zu Tianci felt that although the Qinggou was hateful, there were only about twenty people, and they were guarding the top of the mountain, although it was a little troublesome for him to attack it, but it was also impossible for the people on the top of the mountain to come down, and there were hundreds of knives waiting for them on the side of the water thieves. In terms of the degree of threat, the Ming army in the east was still greater.

Zu Tianci is also a ruthless character who has shed blood in Liaodong, he has a certain idea, and he did not hesitate for a moment, called a small leader of water thieves, and ordered him to take fifty people to guard the intersection of the small hill, and not a single clear dog was allowed to let go.

The little leader agreed loudly, Zu Tianci turned his head, with a murderous cold face, and shouted loudly to the group of water thieves gathered around him: "Brothers, the officers and soldiers are insidious and cunning, first used treacherous tricks to deceive the big boss, and harmed the life of the big boss, and now they have landed on the shore again, and they want to wipe out all of us, the situation is critical, we have been crisscrossing Hongze Lake for several years, if we don't work hard today, we will die at the moment." The officials and soldiers are the most ruthless, and the court is the most untrustworthy. Whether you surrender or not, those who rebel will only die! My ancestor is here with a life, and I vow to live and die with you! Everyone follow me and fight a bloody way, today we will either die, or the officers and soldiers will die! ”

These words roared righteously, heroically, full of the spirit of a hero in the green forest, which provoked a group of subordinates to scream, and the water thieves who were already low and flustered suddenly became like inflated balls, and they got up again, and they all yelled to fight hard.

After Zu Tianci finished roaring, he was about to take the lead with a mace and lead people to meet the officers and soldiers, but unexpectedly, a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and he stumbled under his feet, and almost fell to the ground.

Zu Bian's hand was fast, and he held Zu Tianci, only to find that the eldest brother who was angry just now was now like gold paper, without blood, even the hand holding the mace was trembling faintly, the cloth strip on his shoulder had been washed away by the blood flow, and the dripping blood was like a faucet, pouring out.

Zu Bian shouted urgently: "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Zu Tianci snorted and did not respond.

Zu Bian and a few other cronies were stunned when they saw it, such a serious injury, they were able to hold on until now, and they were still killing people and chasing their lives, such a performance was already a miracle among tough guys, and then let him come so disregarding life and death, I am afraid that he will fall down and die at any time.

Can't let him fight anymore, several people thought at the same time. Zu Bian pulled the drowsy Zu Tianci to a big stone and sat down, and hurriedly pulled out half of the spear that was still inserted in his shoulder, as soon as the spear was gone, the wound behind the shoulder was exposed again, and the blood gushed like a fountain, Zu Tianci, who was already a little confused, roared and suddenly fainted.

Everyone hurriedly tore off their clothes and bandaged them to stop the bleeding, but the wound pierced by the spear was as big as a wine glass, which could not be blocked by a few strips of cloth, and it soaked through several layers of cloth in an instant, and it came out of the cloth without any obstacles, and flowed all over Zu Tianci's body along his shoulders, soaking this sturdy man into a bloody man.

Zu Bian and a few others were terrified, and if the blood flowed like this, even if it was an elephant, it would dry up and die. Zu Bian is Zu Tianci's own brother, and several other cronies are also Zu Tianci's life-saving henchmen, and Zu Tianci's relationship is as close as a family, at this time, he can't wait to stab himself twice to replace Zu Tianci's injury, but unfortunately there is no gold sore medicine around, so he can only watch Zu Tianci die in front of him.

A few people are red-eyed, you look at me, I look at you, although you are so anxious that you are about to burst into flames, but you have no choice but to shed tears, desperately holding down the wound with a cloth, hoping to slow down the blood flow.

The water thieves who rushed out to meet the battle, suddenly found that the leading second master did not follow, and immediately a little distracted, and some brave people were not afraid of life and death, and still rushed forward with long knives, shouting and slashing at the officers and soldiers advancing in the array.

The water thieves have fought with the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, in their hearts, the officers and soldiers are even cowards who are not as good as them, don't look at the bullshit before the battle, the formation of the gun is like that, but it is just to be able to put on a show, once the war runs in front of the soldiers with muskets far away from each other, they will put a shot, make the battlefield into a miasma, and then hurriedly retreat far away, the infantry with spears and shields are slowly huddled together like turtles, and carefully advance in the gunpowder smoke, at this time, as long as you are brave, rush up to them, slash and stab indiscriminately with big swords and spears, kill one or two soldiers, and the rest of the officers and soldiers will turn around and run like rats, leaving behind a large number of weapons and baggage. In countless battles with the Ming army, all of them are this process, the difference is to see how bold the general who leads the army is, but the general with the greatest courage does not insist on more than a stick of incense.

Therefore, although the water thieves did not have a second leader, the battle process in their memory made them very confident, and then they saw that this Ming army did not even have musketeers, so it would be better to rush up, and then they could chase and kill them with their butts.

Li Yan walked in the front of the middle of the spear array, wearing two layers of chain mail, wearing an iron helmet, no one on the left and right sides, two people followed side by side behind him, and then three people, and so on, the whole military formation is a pyramid-like sharp cone, the tip of the cone is Li Yan, at a glance, the mountain is full of white pole soldiers holding spears and wearing chain mail, walking along the depression between the slopes of the mountain in unison, with a fierce momentum. The fly in the ointment is that the spears captured to the Qing army are not enough, and the back rows of people are still using homemade wooden sticks, but the front end is sharpened with a knife, but it is more than enough to assassinate water thieves who do not even have leather armor.

The spear of the Qing army is much shorter than the ash pole hook ring spear that the white pole soldiers are used to, and Li Yan is a little unaccustomed to it, but it doesn't matter, the water thieves on the opposite side are not Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers, and it is enough to have weapons in their hands.

Seeing the water thieves on the opposite side screaming and coming up, a sneer appeared on Li Yan's face hidden under the iron mask, and he shouted: "Hurry! ”

The pace of his feet accelerated, from walking to trotting, and the entire pyramid spire formation followed the pace of change, and the formation suddenly became faster, and the slow gun formation began to accelerate suddenly like a huge spear piercing in front of him.
