Pinduoduo connects the past and present; the wildest young commander and his entire army help me bar

He looked at Qin Lizhi in shock, who was clearly thinking the same thing as him, and a shadow had fallen over his brow.

“A group of people had previously infiltrated the refugees, but they were quickly exposed. That group was likely Wang Zhenwu and his associates.”

Xing Xingwen was even more shocked when he made the connection.

"What exactly do they want? Could it be that they really want to take the young marshal's head, just like the Japanese pirates?"

As I guessed it had landed, I gasped in shock.

"They mingled with the refugees before, so their food supplies must have run out. They're probably still among the refugees, and the easiest way to..."

The eyes of Qin Lizhi and Xing Xingwen met.

Xing Xingwen instantly understood, "They'll use the household registration of the villagers who were wiped out!"

Qin Lizhi: "Not bad."

He felt a little more at ease and looked at his adjutant, Zhang, "Go and investigate the roster immediately. Every refugee who comes here to collect food should be registered on the roster."

"Yes!"

Lieutenant Zhang clenched his fists.

He was also from a peasant background and couldn't stand people who had lost their conscience. This Wang Zhenwu was usually quiet in the army. He only knew that this man was a first-rate flatterer, but he didn't know that he was so vicious!

The lives of an entire village, including infants still nursing, were all lost at the hands of this grandson!

The village chief went down, his eyes still filled with trembling fear and lingering hatred.

If he sees those villains, he must kill them and avenge the entire village.

Now that this matter has been told to the military officer, he will surely help him get revenge.

And in the darkness of night.

Wang Zhenwu and several others were diligently digging the section connecting the irrigation canal and the river.

This part is strictly prohibited from being excavated before the canal is built, because once it is excavated, the water will flow down and not only destroy the canal, but all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Those who participated in the construction of the irrigation canal were all local people. They knew the importance of the canal, so no one would touch the forbidden area.

But Wang Zhenwu was different.

They did bad things.

They originally planned to wait until the canal was mostly completed before breaching it, so that they could stay in the team longer.

But now that their scheme has been exposed, they don't need to wait any longer.

Once the canal collapses, it might even flood the garrison of the Jinsan Brigade. In the chaos, they could seize the opportunity to take Qin Lizhi's head from the shadows.

With that in mind, they dug even faster with their iron rods.

"quick!"

"Hurry up, once these irrigation ditches are dug, we'll sneak into the Taoyuan County government."

"Captain Wang, I also want to hurry up, but this is such a long distance, it looks like more than ten meters. It's not something you can just dig out whenever you want."

Wang Zhenwu doesn't do any work, but he bosses people around like crazy.

"We don't need to be too careful here. Just dig shallow enough to get into the canal. When we get to the river, we can dig a little deeper, but it doesn't need to be too deep, just enough to get the water into the canal."

"Alright! We'll do as Captain Wang says!"

As time went by, the canal was completed, and the group of people gradually arrived at the riverbank.

Looking at the surging river, the person leaning against it swallowed nervously.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous if we dug down like this?"

Someone asked in a low, weak voice.

Wang Zhenwu's eyes were filled with a sinister glint, but he was being very persuasive, saying, "Impossible. We don't need to dig too deep. We just need to make a small opening, and the river will wash it away in a little while."

"Dig quickly! Otherwise we'll just have to wait to die. Do you want to die far from home, right here in Henan?"

His imposing presence was immense, and the group was so used to Wang Zhenwu's orders that they cautiously dug a hole.

In an instant, river water rushed in through the breach.

"Captain Wang, is it...is it okay now?"

A manic red gleamed in Wang Zhenwu's eyes. He bared his back teeth and said, "Keep digging!"

The group had no choice but to bite the bullet and start digging.

However, the rushing river was too strong, and it swept away the clods of earth under the feet of the group of people. Before they could even react, they were swept away into the turbulent river.

"save--"

Before they could even shout, their mouths were filled with muddy water.

The gap kept collapsing and sinking.

The remaining men were so frightened that they dropped the iron bars in their hands and ran away as fast as they could, not even bothering to rescue their companions in the river!

The dam has burst!

Unfortunately, they couldn't keep up with the river, and several more people were swept away in an instant.

Wang Zhenwu kept looking back as he ran.

In just a short while, their team of more than a dozen people was reduced to only seven or eight, half of them were wiped out!

The remaining people, still in shock, took off running.

"Captain Wang, we've lost several of our men, what do we do?"

Someone asked, trembling like a leaf.

Wang Zhenwu was also shaken, glaring and roaring, "You're asking me? Who should I ask? This has nothing to do with me! Who told them to be so stupid, not even knowing to run when they saw the dike breaching!"

At this moment, the others also realized that in Wang Zhenwu's eyes, they were not comrades-in-arms at all, but tools!

When they need him, Wang Zhenwu can still act like a decent human being; but when danger strikes, he'll abandon them without hesitation.

But by then it was too late for them to regret it.

Because the surging river behind us is constantly chasing us.

They can only get through the immediate danger first.

The night is deep.

The stars hang low against the deep blue night sky.

Someone shouted, suddenly breaking the silence.

"The dam has burst—"

"The floodwaters are reaching the military camp! Everyone, run for your lives!"

Suddenly, lights lit up inside the previously dark tent.

Countless people got up, put on their clothes, and came outside.

Amidst the throng and the cacophony of voices, increasingly terrified cries rang out: "The dam has breached! It's real! The dam has really breached!"

"The irrigation canals we built are now completely destroyed!"

"Good heavens, what's going on?"

"What do we do now? The river is raging and it looks like it's about to flood our camp. Should we pack our things and run for our lives as soon as possible?"

Amidst the chaos, one person was the first to react.

"Quickly! Quickly tell the young marshal the news!"

"Yep!"

"I'll go right away!"

Qin Lizhi was asleep when he was suddenly awakened by urgent shouts.

"Young Marshal, something terrible has happened! The river has breached its banks! The irrigation canals have collapsed, and our camp will soon be submerged!"

The soldier who brought the news was also part of the water conservancy project. Thinking that the fruits of everyone's labor over the past few days had been destroyed, hot tears welled up in his eyes.

"Young Marshal, what should we do now?!"

Qin Lizhi quickly lifted the curtain and stepped out of the tent. Looking at the chaos outside, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, it must have been Wang Zhenwu who did it!
