Yuan Yun crossed the river, with more than 1,000 gunpowder army soldiers, Zhang Liao did not pass, and Xu Shu chose to stay on the other side in order to arrange the defense of other gunpowder army.

Now looking at the sparks that continue to burst out on the other side of the river, Yuan Yun is anxious, Zhang Liao and they have been surrounded by a large army on the other side of the river, if it weren't for the remaining more than 3,000 gunpowder troops are well-equipped, it is estimated that they have been crushed by the other party.

Another good news is that the 70,000 horses are not cavalry, but infantry on horseback, and the reason why he will take a long detour to the north should be to receive these horses from there, and then ride horses to Yecheng to rescue them, which is also the reason why they came so quickly.

After Yuan Yun learned the news, he had to admire these soldiers in the late Han Dynasty, although not everyone could fight on horseback, but there was no problem in riding a horse.

After finally calming down, Yuan Yun began to order his subordinates to build a ship, not that kind of big ship, but a raft, and found some tutorials on making rafts in the field from the chip in his brain, and soon the gunpowder soldiers who crossed the river made a large number of them.

Although a lot of rafts were built in one night's work, the sky was almost bright, and sending someone to send it at this time would inevitably lead to a strong attack.

So Yuan Yun sent someone to the other side and told Zhang Liao that he still needed to support him for a whole day, and when it was night, he could retreat unnoticed.

When the sun rose, Yuan Yun was still not idle, and led everyone to start building fortifications on the shore, because he found that the trial was also building ships on the other side, and it seemed that he planned to send some men and horses to cross the river first.

The scouts had already been sent out fifty miles to both sides of the river, but fortunately, the trial was still only a gunpowder army on the other side of the river, and the idea of crossing the river upstream or downstream had not yet arisen.

After counting the remaining ammunition, Yuan Yun couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, when he crossed the river, he first transported the baggage, which seemed to be a good choice, thinking about it like this, he suddenly frowned again, the baggage was all transported, which means that Zhang Liao and they have no supplies, and it may not be easy to hold on for a day.

By noon, there had been countless explosions on the position on the other side of the river, and the trial continued to send people to charge, but they were all stopped by the steel wire fence in front of Zhang Liao's position, and then they would be subjected to fierce steel crossbow fire, followed by a round of gunpowder shells.

In the afternoon, the trial organized a major offensive, and sent 20,000 men before and after, and at one point broke through a section of the defensive line, and finally was snatched back by the soldiers of the Gunpowder Army.

From this, Yuan Yun also saw Zhang Liao's superb command ability, his three thousand gunpowder soldiers were very efficient whether they were rejecting the enemy or assisting in defense, and sometimes the soldiers who were judged had not yet started the formation, Zhang Liao would take the initiative to attack, so back and forth, even if there were many people in the trial, but there was no benefit at all.

As the battle dragged on into the evening, the trial finally began to collect the troops, and the battlefield fell silent.

Seeing Yuan Yun's anxious appearance, Shi Shen couldn't help but persuade: "Lord, the enemy army has already withdrawn its troops, it seems that we can definitely bring them back safely tonight, why are you still so worried?" ”

Yuan Yun rolled his eyes, and replied angrily: "How can they be important advisers under Yuan Shao, he is collecting troops now just to wait for the sky to darken, and then launch a surprise attack by night, General Zhang Liao and them will be dangerous tonight." ”

After explaining, Yuan Yun hurriedly looked at the bank of the river, where there were many rafts hidden, as long as he waited for the sky to get dark, he would start acting immediately, and time was really waiting for no one.

"Fill some rafts with gunpowder canisters, and gasoline cans, and transport them to the upstream location, which will definitely be needed tonight." Yuan Yun explained Shi Shen again, and then went to the back and began to stretch up.

As soon as it was dark, Yuan Yun immediately ordered his soldiers to push the raft down the river, and he also boarded the raft himself, despite Shi Shen's objections, and then began to row towards the other side of the river.

The other side of the river was still silent, but Yuan Yun was already very sure that this was just the peace before the war, and the quieter it was, the more ferocious it proved that the attack of the trial organization was fierce.

Zhang Liao had already received a message from Yuan Yun, and at this moment arranged for Xu Shu to gather troops, and he began to pour gasoline into the trenches around the position with his soldiers.

In Yuan Yun's mind, such a retreat should be like the Great Escape from Dunkirk, all of which were chaotic scenes, but by the time his raft reached the opposite bank, everything seemed to be in order, and the soldiers even lined up.

Three thousand people boarded the ship at the same time, which could not be completed in a moment and a half, and this was carried out for most of the hour, even if it was hidden and hidden, it was still discovered by the sentinel who was judged.

Then the drums of war sounded again on the outskirts of the camp, and this time the enemy was almost completely pressed, without any preparation to spare his hands.

When Zhang Liao also boarded Yuan Yun's raft, he suddenly smiled and said: "The more people and horses sent by the trial, the better, Shi Xiang has already lit it, and this place will become a sea of fire in a while." ”

Yuan Yun only thought about running away quickly at this time, where was he still in the mood to pay attention to what would happen on the shore, constantly urging the soldiers to speed up rowing, and he was not idle, desperately using the broken wooden planks in his hands to make a splash in the river, but his help, in the eyes of the paddling soldiers, was a disguised trouble.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the shore, and then a large number of flames began to rise from all around, covering up all the previous camps, and the sky and earth were illuminated as if it were day, and there were constant explosions flickering in the flames.

"These killers, obviously told them not to throw gunpowder bullets around, where do you see these explosions coming from? A bunch of bastards! When Zhang Liao was conclusive, Yuan Yun rolled his eyes, at this kind of fatal moment, who would take care of these things, and I don't know whether Zhang Liao is calm or has a lack of brains.

Xu Shu lowered his face at the moment, looked at the fire and sighed: "These are all big killers created by Yuan Hou, killing people is really fast and ruthless, no matter how high the force is, no matter how good the calculation, I am afraid it will not be easy to defeat the gunpowder army." ”

Yuan Yun pursed his lips and said, "That Brother Yuan might as well come directly to lead the Gunpowder Army, you have the strength and your resourcefulness, it's exciting to think about." ”

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Yuan Hou has forgotten that I still have to go to Luoyang to teach for three years, but I don't have time to lead troops to fight." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, and then continued: "It's not three years, but six years, doesn't Brother Yuan know arithmetic." ”

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The bet with Yuan Hou has not yet been resolved, why did he add three years without authorization, could it be that Yuan Hou will not be able to predict the future?" ”

A bad taste immediately appeared on Yuan Yun's face, and then he replied confidently: "Ben Hou really knows!" ”

The judge did not stop the attack because he had lost some troops on the riverbank, and he was even a little angry, so he immediately ordered the crossing of the river to begin.

At this moment, there were also a number of troop transports, and if he grabbed a beachhead, he could establish a stronghold, and then gradually cross the river with the whole army, so that he could continue to pursue the barefoot gunpowder army.

Countless small ships were filled with soldiers, and in order to be able to withstand the steel crossbows of the Powder Army, they also added thick planks to the front of the ships.

Soon, the river was covered with dense boats, and the judge was a little crazy now, and when he entered Yecheng, he had already learned that his family had been slaughtered by Xu You's bastard, so he frantically left the city with the army to chase and kill.

When the judge thought that he had finally caught up with the enemy, he found that he had been lured here, so the anger in his heart had broken through his reason, even if he was admonished by the deputy general Su You, he still wanted to force the river to cross the river regardless of it, and even boarded the first batch of boats to cross the river.

The river was very calm, and the gunpowder army on the opposite bank seemed to be asleep, and did not shoot crossbow arrows, which made the judge have a sense of luck, thinking that the other party was in a hurry to flee as soon as he crossed the river, instead of defending on the bank of the river.

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound around the ship, and the judge looked down at the boat with some confusion, and saw that a large number of clay pots were coming down the river, and these clay pots kept colliding with the edge of the boat, and then there would be this kind of clattering sound.

The judge was a little stunned, he really didn't know what these clay pots were, and in an instant he gasped, because he saw that there were dots of fire on the clay pots, and then he thought of the name of the Gunpowder Army, he had almost guessed what it was.

Rumble!

When the first explosion sounded, the judge's ears could no longer hear anything, and he could only watch as the intense flames burst out and sputter sparks everywhere.

After a while, the judge suddenly smelled a pungent smell, this smell was naturally very familiar to him, it was a kind of fire oil that could not be extinguished, and he hated this thing deeply, because he had suffered enough in the past two days.

Finished!

In the end, the judge could only barely utter these two words, and then a fire rose from the water under the boat, and the heat instantly blocked his throat, and then he was left with a loud cough.

There are very few pursuers in the river who can escape from this sea of fire on the river, Yuan Yun stood on the shore and watched, and then prepared to pack his luggage, now he can retreat safely, and he must go faster, because the last bit of ammunition is basically used up, and if he contacts the enemy, there will only be close combat.

Three days later, Yuan Yun's team arrived in Liyang, Xu Chu had already brought people to answer, this tiger idiot looked quite worried, until he saw Yuan Yun appear safely, he laughed, and then directly picked up Yuan Yun from the horse, but this time he was a little surprised, because the first time he didn't move.

"Boy, it's a long one, and now it's really a bit laborious to carry you around." After speaking, Xu Chu put Yuan Yun back on the horse again, and then let out another hearty laugh.

After greeting Yuan Yun, Xu Chu exchanged greetings with Zhang Liao again, but ignored Xu Shu, it is estimated that Xu Shu's identity is the biggest problem, he has always been very clear, the enemy is the enemy, not to mention Liu Bei, the enemy who once kidnapped Yuan Yun.

Xu Shu was very self-aware, so he took the initiative to slow down the horse's speed, and then fell to the end of the army.

Xu Chu waited for Xu Shu to go away, then pulled the horse's head closer to Yuan Yun, and then patted him on the shoulder: "This time you have made a great contribution, no one expected that you could defeat Yecheng, and also destroy all its defenses, now that Liyang is in our hands, it should be very quick to pacify the north." ”

Yuan Yun looked at the 'amiable' Xu Chu, shrugged his shoulders, and then said with a wry smile: "Since the good news is finished, then don't hide the bad news, what kind of news is it, boy, I will listen to it." ”
