Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Xu Jing, Li Congji, and others in the rear guard were unaware of the argument between Gao Qiu and Zhang Kai at that moment.

They were at the rear of the group, just preparing to board the ship and depart.

Zhou Ang was also with them.

"Old Li, Old Xiang, get on this boat."

Xu Jing, along with Li Congji and Xiang Yuanzhen, and most of the others, boarded the boat that Niu Bangxi had brought.

"What's wrong, Brother Xu? Why are you coming this way?"

Xiang Yuanzhen was originally going to board the boat that Liu Menglong had prepared, but he was suddenly called away by Xu Jing, which puzzled him.

"Just listen to me."

Xu Jing questioned Liu Menglong about what exactly happened when they were ambushed by the Liangshan navy. Liu Menglong honestly explained, and even told Xu Jing that it was fortunate that there was a village called Shijie below Liangshan, from which they obtained a boat.

Upon hearing that the boat was from Shijie Village, Xu Jing's heart skipped a beat.

The stone tablet he saw in Liangshan was said to have come from Shijie Village.

Therefore, he felt that the people of Liangshan wouldn't be so foolish as to let Liu Menglong get a boat from Shijie Village so easily!

Just to be on the safe side, don't get on this ship!

"Old Xiang, listen to Brother Xu."

Li Congji also said this to Xiang Yuanzhen.

"Okay, okay, are there any seats left? Can I squeeze in?"

Seeing that Li Congji also said so, Xiang Yuanzhen decided to go with them.

Zhou Ang was completely bewildered. Why did you all choose to squeeze onto the other boats instead of taking the other ones?

"Instructor Zhou, take your time. We're leaving now."

Xu Jing greeted Zhou Ang, then led his men away first.

Zhou Ang watched Xu Jing and the others leave, then looked at the many empty boats, completely bewildered.

So many boats? Why not take one? Why squeeze in?

"Brothers, pack your supplies, let's get on the ship."

Zhou Ang led his men onto the ship, most of which were on ships that Liu Menglong had looted.

In other words, the abandoned ships of Liangshan.

This ship has already transported two groups of people.

Zhou Ang and his group were in the third batch.

The group set off in a grand procession. Halfway there, Xiang Yuanzhen turned back to look at Zhou Ang and the others, then asked Xu Jing with a puzzled expression:

"Brother, everything's alright, isn't it?"

"It seems like everything is indeed alright, Brother Xu. Are you sure you guessed wrong this time?"

Li Congji also looked at the rear guard. Zhou Ang and the others were still responsible for storing the grain and fodder, and they were all fine.

"This can't be right. This isn't like Ren Yuan at all!"

Xu Jing was also a little unsure. Logically speaking, given Ren Yuan's personality, he wouldn't let someone else get away with it so easily.

"Could it be... that he didn't expect this?"

Li Congji lowered his voice a little because he was planning to do *that* with Xu Jing, but Xiang Yuanzhen and the others hadn't discussed it with him in detail yet.

"I don't think he will, he should... Wait, Lao Xiang, what's the situation over there? Use flag signals to ask Zhou Ang!"

Xu Jing had been watching Zhou Ang's situation closely, and he suddenly noticed that Zhou Ang's team was in some disarray!

Xiang Yuanzhen was the most skilled archer among the ten commanders, with exceptional eyesight. Upon hearing Xu Jing's words, Xiang Yuanzhen immediately turned around and focused all his strength on Zhou Ang's direction.

"There is indeed a problem. Let's stop for a moment and ask them!"

Zhou Ang's troops at this time.

"Oh no! The ship! The ship is leaking!"

"We've missed one too!"

"Oh my god! Water has gotten into our boat! The food is all wet!"

……

On the ship where Zhou Ang's troops were located, exclamations of surprise began to spread among the soldiers.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

The small boat Zhou Ang was on was also leaking, and the soldiers at the helm quickly stopped and tried their best to fix it.

"Have we been attacked?"

Zhou Ang asked the naval officer beside him, because he was not from a naval background and therefore did not know much about naval combat methods.

"No, there shouldn't be..."

The naval soldiers around him were also caught off guard.

"Why is the boat leaking? What did it hit?"

Zhou Ang found it unbelievable. Everything was fine when he was helping others out, so why did something go wrong when it was his turn?

"No, I didn't feel any impact. This, this could be a problem with the ship itself."

The naval soldiers confirmed that they had not bumped into anything.

"Was there a problem with the ship itself? Or was it a coincidence?"

Zhou Ang looked around and realized that there was more than one ship with problems.

If this is a coincidence, then it's too much of a coincidence!

"Sir! It's no use! The ship is sinking, and we won't be able to save the grain!"

"Sir, please ask our brothers up ahead for help!"

"Plop! Plop!"

At this moment, Zhou Ang's troops were in chaos. Some of those who could swim quickly jumped into the water, as the boat was leaking quite fast and would probably sink in no time.

At this moment, Zhou Ang recalled the scene before they set off when Xu Jing and the others were unwilling to take these boats.

"Why didn't they take these boats? Did they already know there was something wrong with them?"

These questions flashed through Zhou Ang's mind quickly, but he didn't have time to think about them.

"Hurry up and bring the ships that are safe! Make sure the supplies are not lost!"

"Those who can swim, go into the water! Those who can't swim, hold onto the planks and go into the water!"

"Weapons can be discarded! But food supplies cannot be abandoned!"

The provisions for the 130,000-strong army are mostly in the rear guard, especially Zhou Ang's troops, who are responsible for almost 70% of the army's provisions. If they are all thrown into this lake, Gao Qiu will throw Zhou Ang into the lake tomorrow!

"Instructor Zhou! Abandon ship!"

Just as things were in chaos on Zhou Ang's side, Xu Jing and others from the front team came to his rescue.

Putting everything else aside, although Liangshan's move certainly deserves a thumbs up from Xu Jing and the others, the lives of so many ordinary soldiers cannot be lost just like that!

"Commander Xu, prioritize saving the grain supplies!"

Zhou Ang had initially suspected that Xu Jing and his group might have colluded with Liangshan, which was why they had him bring food and board these wrecked ships.

But when he saw them coming to his rescue, and remembering that the previous two trips by these ships had been successful, he changed his mind.

It must have been bad luck on my part, and also, that bastard Liu Menglong, he didn't get any good ships!

"Human life is more important! Food can be bought again! But you only have one life! Brothers, come quick!"

Xu Jing and his team began rescuing people, prioritizing the lives of their soldiers.

So many soldiers who knew how to swim quickly jumped off the wrecked ship and swam toward Xu Jing and his men.

"Bang bang bang—"

But just when things were getting really tense, suddenly, the sound of a clapper came from the water!

Everyone looked in surprise toward the direction from which the sound came, and saw that many boats had suddenly appeared on the other side of the lake, bearing the flags of the Fourth and Sixth Legions of the Liangshan Navy!

The newcomers were none other than Zhang Shun, the White-Striped Wave! And Fei Bao, the Red-Bearded Dragon!

They were ordered to bring their troops and have been waiting here for a long time!

"Our government troops have come from afar, so our Liangshan navy naturally cannot neglect them!"

"Listen up, naval soldiers! It's time for some wontons, officers and soldiers!"
