After Niu Hu, the guard general of Fenyin, learned that Shen Rui, the cavalry general under his command, took the Qiang cavalry, captured several Guanzhong spies, and obtained important information about the enemy, and the enemy army on the other side seemed to have abnormal movements, he did not suspect that there was him, and ordered two hundred horsemen to join Shen Rui.

He had to personally interrogate the dying enemy spies and inspect this section of the Great River defense line that had been successfully smuggled by enemy spies on the other side.

Among the cavalry brought by Niu Hu, there were soldiers from Hedong and Qiang from Shen's Qiang.

Therefore, when the Qiang cavalry suddenly launched a signal and attacked violently, Niu Hu and the soldiers of Hedong were caught off guard, and they fell to the enemy on their backs and fell a large area.

Niu Hu suffered multiple injuries on his body and retreated step by step.

It wasn't until Shen Rui stabbed a short knife into Niu Hu's abdomen that Niu Hu stopped, he stubbornly resisted Shen Rui's hand with left hair and fierce eyes, spitting blood, trembling all over, and asked angrily:

"Why, why betray?"

Niu Hu's question hit Shen Rui's heart like a heavy hammer, but Shen Rui, whose hands were already stained with blood, no longer panicked or hesitated on his face at this time.

He smiled wryly, and then became determined.

"Niu Junhou, in this troubled world, not everyone has the blessing of always maintaining loyalty!"

As soon as Shen Rui finished speaking, he used his hand hard, and the short knife stirred hard, and the sturdy body finally fell weakly.

On that day, the Fenyin Shen clan rebelled, the guard general Niu Hu Zhongji died, and Fenyin City and Hejin in the territory were lost.

···

The Fengsui defense line on land has been broken, and Guo Yan's army has finally exposed its long-hidden tracks, people and horses have set up pontoon bridges, boats are busy coming and going, and a large number of Xiliang troops have crossed the river and marched eastward and invaded the east of the river, which has become an urgent trend!

Fortunately, there were still a few beacon soldiers who sent out messages in time.

It's just that the bad news of the loss of Fenyin and Guo Yan's crossing of the river spread, and the territory of Hedong was shaken.

The sound of the horses' hooves of the horses of the Xiliang Army has been constantly sounding on the east bank of the river, and the defense line of the river has been torn open out of thin air, and the original defense line is everywhere, and it has suddenly become everywhere.

In Hedong, he was overstretched for a while, and he couldn't put together a team of soldiers and horses that could resist Guo Yanxi's Liang army.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the hope placed on Hedong and the heavy responsibility of defending against the enemy had to fall to the Hedong Boat Division led by Wu Qiuxing.

Rushing from Fenyin to Anyi, and recovering Fenyin from Pusaka upstream, the marching route between the enemy and us crisscrossed and crisscrossed, all the way to the east and all the way to the north.

After the completion of the crossing of the river by Guo Yan's army, the forward army was ordered to attack Anyi, and Wuqiu Xing, who was stationed in Puban, heard that Fenyin was lost, and was ordered to dispatch the boat division to go upstream, preparing to cross the river and rescue Fenyin.

Under the critical situation of the Xiliang Army's strategy of "attacking the west from the east and avoiding the real and attacking the false" of the Hedong guards, Wuqiu Xing, who was originally stationed on the front line of Puban and Fenglingdu, was ordered to lead the boat division in Hedong to go upstream, which became a key link in recovering the decline.

In addition to his inner anxiety, he also had great ambition and pride, and wanted to lead the Hedong Boat Division to reproduce the glorious achievements of last year's great defeat of Hongnong and cut off the back road of Zhang Ji's 50,000 army, and once again save Hedong Foundation from danger.

It's just that this time, Wu Qiuxing, who is swimming against the current, has also encountered tricky things.

Guo Yan's army of 30,000 was able to quickly cross the river, and it was also borrowed from the boat and the wooden poppy pontoon, but with Zhang Ji's experience, now Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, in the face of the small river boat division in the east of the river, obviously have a corresponding countermeasure, no longer as Zhang Ji's Hongnong army half panicked.

The boat division led by Wu Qiuxing, although they were all composed of Lou boats and Meng Chong, was light and agile, not as cumbersome as the grain ships, and did not need to be pulled by slender men along the river and land when going upstream.

But after all, it was tracing the source, and the speed of the boat could not be as fast as the previous upstream, so by the time the Hedong Boat Division led by Wu Qiuxing entered the waters of Fenyin, Guo Yan's army had already crossed the river.

In the face of this situation, there was no way to re-block Zuo Fengyi's large number of enemy troops from crossing the river, but Wu Qiuxing still chose to make amends, wanting to use the advantage of the warship to destroy the pontoon bridge for Guo Yan's army to cross the river, so he recruited an order, and Meng Chong was exhausted to destroy the pontoon bridge for Guo Yan's army to cross the river.

Guo Yan's cavalry army had no way to defend against the attack launched by the Hedong Boat Division on his own pontoon bridges in the water, but these seemingly undefended pontoon bridges soon caused the Mengchong warships under the command of Wu Qiuxing to suffer a big loss.

There are sharp weapons such as iron cones under the pontoon bridge, and the Mengchong warship is on a rampage and destroys the enemy's pontoon bridge at the same time, it is easy to be damaged by the iron cone hidden under the water, once the hull of the Mengchong warship is destroyed and enters the water, even if the soldiers and oarsmen on the ship block and repair the gap in time, so as not to sink on the spot, but the speed will also slow down, and the Mengchong warship will lose its original speed advantage in water warfare.

Floor on board.

The officers of the Hedong Boat Division ran upstairs to the top deck of the ship and hurriedly admonished Wu Qiuxing, who was in command.

"Captain, the enemy has long been prepared, there are many iron cone sharp weapons under the pontoon bridge, and many pontoon bridges of the enemy army have been broken through and burned at the moment, but our ark division has also been damaged, and it is not suitable to fight again today, in order to protect the integrity, it is better to retreat first for the time being!"

Biqiu Xing made great contributions in the defeat of Zhang Jihongnong's army, and has been promoted by Yan Xing to the captain of Lou Chuan.

At this moment, he was holding on to the female wall on the boat, frowning, and the strong wind on the river blew his robes from the heights.

Guo Yan's army has long been prepared, and he can't see it.

At this time, after entering the waters of Fenyin, if the Hedong Boat Division has not been able to make one or two feats to attract the attention of Guo Yan's army and delay the enemy's attack on the cities in Hedong, then after this battle, no matter whether Hedong wins or loses, Biqiuxing will not be able to escape responsibility.

From the very beginning of the construction and formation of the Hedong Boat Division, there was a lot of opposition among the county government and the shogunate. If it weren't for the fact that Yan Xingli was too guarded by the public, and Wu Qiuxing later made great achievements in the battle against Zhang Ji's Hongnong army, he made great contributions to stop the enemy and break the enemy, this maverick river boat division would have died early in the opposition of the county government and the shogunate generals.

Biqiu Xing is now on such a cusp, and the situation is like a dilemma.

If, according to his original idea, although the Hedong Boat Division was not able to block the crossing of the river by Guo Yan's army, if it could destroy the pontoon bridges and boats of Guo Yan's army, and make it look like crossing the river and cutting off the retreat of Guo Yan's army, then at least it could play a role in delaying Guo Yan's army and share part of the pressure for Anyi and other cities.

However, just now that half of the enemy's pontoon bridge has been burned and destroyed, two of their own Mengchong warships have already been damaged.

According to this trend, how could Biqiuxing still be able to attack the Fenyin Hejin Water Village, where an unknown number of enemy troops were stationed?

Is it advancing or retreating?

Biqiuxing was caught in a dilemma, ignoring the exhortations of the military forces around him.

Seeing Biqiuxing's hesitation, the military official was also anxious in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he had an idea and changed his words to persuade Biqiuxing.

"Captain, our boat division retreated today, not because of the fear of the enemy's huge strength and retreating to avoid battle, but to plan a strategy to break the enemy!"

Listening to the words of this military official, Biqiu Xing, who was hesitant and silent, raised his brows slightly, and finally moved his mouth.

"Keep talking!"

The soldier was encouraged, his spirit was shaken, and he hurriedly continued:

"There are iron cones under the enemy's pontoon bridge, the number and signs are unknown, and the boat division can no longer approach the collision and burn it in the usual way, at this time it is better to slow down than to hurry, it is better to retreat temporarily, and send the ship's non-commissioned officers ashore to cut down trees, make wooden rafts, and use firewood to ignite things, and use this to hit and burn the enemy's pontoon bridge closely——"

When Biqiu Xing suddenly heard this, he realized something, and his originally blocked ideas were instantly activated.

I could not avoid the fact that Guo Yan's army crossed the river, so it became a top priority to burn the pontoon bridges and boats and attack the Fenyin River Jinshui Village.

Temporarily retreating at this time, although it does not have the effect of attracting the enemy's main force, it also has more time and energy to prepare for the strategy of breaking the enemy.

In addition to ramming and burning the pontoon bridge with wooden platoons, this retreat can also show the enemy's weakness, confuse the enemy, and create a good fighter for the next comeback, attacking Fenyin Water Village and burning the enemy's boat!

If the next plan works, you can break the enemy, although you are avoiding the war for a while, but you are definitely merit and no fault, and the kind of crime of disobeying the yang and yin, and fearing the enemy like a tiger will not be able to bear your own head.

Biqiu Xing exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, and he finally made up his mind, ordered the trumpet to blow the flag, and retreated.

So, in the mist and water vapor, the warships of the Hedong Boat Division, such as Lou Boat and Meng Chong, turned around one after another, went down the current, gave up the track of stepping up the attack, and gradually, turned into black spots one after another, and disappeared on the vast river.
