The night is as dark as ink, and the stars and moon are dark. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A winding fire dragon slowly headed towards the south, and it was the team of the two highnesses of Great Qin who was heading towards the north bank of the Great River.

Somewhere in the middle of the procession, the firelight was a little denser, because the two Highnesses rode side by side, and their own soldiers and guards were gathered here.

The orange firelight set off the angular faces of the two people, and it was extremely grim. Qin Li lowered his head, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I didn't expect to lose in a blink of an eye." "When I first entered the army, although the boss was not as optimistic as others, he also felt that it was no problem to hit Chaoge City, but he didn't expect to be beaten on the Makino Plain, which was really unacceptable.

Qin Lei nodded and said softly: "The 200,000 army went north, and I only saw less than 100,000 people fleeing back. ”

Qin Li was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and smiled: "It's not so miserable, it's Che Yinguo and Shen Wei who are in the front, and they have already fled north." He laughed self-deprecatingly: "After all, our Qin army is tall and strong, and if we really want to run, it will be difficult for the Qi army to catch up." ”

Qin Lei's eyes lit up, but in a blink of an eye, he said deflatedly: "Even if there is enough grain and straw in Muye City, and you can gather 100,000 troops, so what? This is in the hinterland of Qi country! As he spoke, he pointed behind him and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Zhao Wuyi didn't chase after him is because he still has the choice of Muye City!" ”

Qin Li had to nod and said, "If he can eat the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Muye City, we will lose 150,000 elites." Saying that, he sighed and said, "I won it all night, but I lost it all at dawn." ”

Qin Lei's face changed, and he suddenly said, "What did you say?" ”

Qin Li was asked, thinking that he was unwilling to accept defeat, so he comforted him in a low voice: "Brother, don't be too sad, as long as the tiger prison is in our hands, there will still be a chance to turn the book." ”

After pondering for a long time, Qin Lei slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "We are not out of danger yet!" ”

Qin Li's face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Why do you say this? ”

"According to what you just said, we occupy the Tiger Prison Pass and destroy the small 150,000 Qi army, this battle is not a loss!" Qin Lei said with a stern face: "You said that Zhao Wuyi spent such a large amount of money, is it just to be invincible?" ”

Qin Li is not a stupid person, and his complexion changed several times when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "That's right, isn't this an extra move for him to take off his pants and fart?" Saying that, he raised his head and looked at Qin Lei, both of them saw the uneasy expressions on each other's faces, and said in unison: "Zhao Wuyi must have an ambush on the south bank!" ”

The two suddenly remembered that they had not seen Xin Jiazang and Chen Liefeng's generals today, and the two of them had never crossed the river, so they were lurking somewhere in Henan, waiting for the Great Qin army to be repulsed...... Hit it halfway!

"Stop!" In a flash of light, Qin Lei figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and hurriedly ordered: "The scouts should quickly go south and find out the military situation at the ferry!" ”

Two hours ago, the autumn rain first stopped, and Hongqiao appeared.

Emperor Zhaowu finally wrapped himself in a quilt and sat on a cart and returned to the camp set up by the Jingshan Army.

Huangfu Zhanwen and Yang Wenyu hurriedly came out, and when they saw His Majesty's appearance, they couldn't help but be stunned, and said in their hearts: 'What's going on?' Why don't you even have a roof? ’

But Emperor Zhaowu didn't blame the two, but said softly: "Can the two generals find me a dry and plain clothes to change into?" ......He was not a fool, he knew that it was his own willfulness and confusion that led to this complete defeat...... In order to avoid arousing public indignation among officers and soldiers, he decided to keep a low profile for the time being.

It seems that Emperor Sezulie has finally woken up from the dream of the 'First Emperor of the Ages'...... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that he was frightened by Qin Lei.

Fortunately, it is extremely rare to have an animal as disrespectful as Qin Lei, and Huangfu Zhanwen and Yang Wenyu were flattered and said, "Your Majesty has killed me." As he spoke, he instructed his soldiers to find the latest and best clothes for the emperor to choose, and did not forget to serve hot ginger soup to ward off the cold.

Feeling a completely different attitude from Qin Lei, the emperor regained some confidence a little, sipped the ginger soup in the bowl, and said softly: "I want to return to the tiger prison in the south, you can go and arrange it." "Kicking your nose and face is a manifestation of oral dissatisfaction, and it is estimated that when you return to Zhongdu, your majesty should return it.

Huangfu Zhanwen said respectfully: "Your Majesty, we have been ordered to erect several pontoon bridges over the river, and you can cross the river at any time." As he spoke, he did not forget to add: "Of course, it is also possible to take a boat." Yang Wenyu looked down on him, and said in his heart: 'General Huangfu is good at everything, but he is a little inflammatory...... so he didn't want to stay here, so he made an excuse and said: "The last general will go to check the preparations." After Emperor Zhaowu nodded, he walked away quickly, out of sight.

"Well done." Emperor Zhaowu nodded, put down the bowl, a trace of blush appeared on his pale face, and said softly: "You are the boss of the Huangfu family, right?" "The so-called full of warmth and lust, seeing that there was only one Huangfu Zhanwen left around him, the emperor began to be tempted again.

"Your Majesty Lao hangs a note, the last general is the eldest man of the Huangfu family." Huangfu Zhanwen smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Remember you were in the Imperial Guards, right?" The people below had already begun to prepare for crossing the river, and Emperor Zhaowu happened to have time to chat a few words.

"Yes." Huangfu Zhanwen's face darkened and said: "If it weren't for the gangsters who framed him back then, the last general would not have been swept away." ”

"Let the past pass." Emperor Zhaowu twisted his beard and smiled: "Since you are wronged, how about I restore your reputation?" ”

Huangfu Zhanwen kowtowed excitedly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the last general will be grateful......

As soon as Emperor Zhaowu saw that there was a door, he said casually: "Well, since your reputation has been restored, then you are still an officer of the Imperial Forest Army, hand over to that General Yang, and cross the river with me." ”

Huangfu Zhanwen was dumbfounded, raised his head and said in a lost voice: "The last general didn't think about jumping ship......

Emperor Zhaowu said in his heart: 'This is a bargain. Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, the post of Royal Forest General is still vacant." "The vacancy didn't say it was going to be given to you...... This old guy repeats his old tricks, and fools people with some tricks all day long.

Huangfu Zhanwen was stunned for a while, kowtowed vigorously and said: "Thank you for your Majesty's love, Your Majesty Xie is wrong to love, but the last general is deeply favored by His Royal Highness, and he must not leave all of them!" "How good Qin Lei is to him, how capable Qin Lei is, how promising Qin Lei is! Is it easy to find such a boss? Huangfu Zhanwen is still counting on investment appreciation and a million profits. Besides, since he betrayed the prince, he can only be a staunch 'Five Masters Party'. If you rebel again, won't it be a 'three-surname house slave'? No matter from which point of view, it is impossible for him to mix with Emperor Zhaowu.

Emperor Zhaowu's face sank when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "Yutian is my son, and you are loyal to me, and you will also repay him." "The reason why he made a temporary decision and wanted to dig Qin Lei's foot of the wall was to export his evil anger on the one hand. What's more, in order to maintain absolute control, he had eliminated all the prestigious generals in the Imperial Forest Army. Now it seems that this is a bit overkill, and it has seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the Golden Armor Royal Forest.

But I didn't expect that this emperor, who was quite capable of flattery, actually refused, which made His Majesty the Emperor feel shameless.

"Since the last general is an officer of the Jingshan Army, why do you have to listen to the prince first, he said that let the last general serve His Majesty, then the last general is a brain and liver, and he will never give up!" Huangfu Zhanwen is an old fritter after all, and one move is to retreat into advance, so that Emperor Zhaowu has nothing to say, so he can only snort coldly, ending this unsuccessful wooing.

Ask Qin Lei to ask someone? He didn't have the guts yet...... Oh no, it's not that interested, His Majesty the Emperor won't be afraid of anyone.

Under Zhuo Yan's service, Emperor Zhaowu took off his dragon robe and changed into the clothes of Huangfu Zhanwen from the inside out...... It's a little fat, and the sleeves are a little long, but it's more comfortable than getting wet all over the body.

At this time, the vanguard had already crossed the river and fought the front station, and Qin Zhan came over to ask Emperor Zhaowu to cross the river. The emperor drove to the river, and saw that the turbid water of the Yellow River was surging and the waves were raging, shaking the pontoon bridge very violently.

"I'm going to take a boat." Emperor Zhaowu frowned and said, "This shakes, shakes, what should I do if it falls?" ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly went to find the ship, and after a while, he called a large ...... Sampan comes. It's not that this kid doesn't know how to do things, the big ships are all used to transport military horses and grain, and none of them are idle.

His Majesty the Emperor frowned displeasedly and said, "This is shaking, I will get seasick." ”

Qin Zhan said in his heart: "It's really ...... picky" I had to find someone to coordinate, and it took a long time to intercept a big ship that had been transported and returned.

His Majesty the Emperor only then held Qin Zhan and Zhuo Yan's shoulders and slowly boarded the pedal. Halfway through, he turned back and said, "General Huangfu, don't forget my agreement with you." It attracted the attention of many generals of the Jingshan Army...... They all saw Huangfu Zhanwen talking to the emperor alone, and they couldn't stop kowtowing.

Feeling the strange gaze of his colleagues, Huangfu Zhanwen's intestines were repentant...... Why are you so hot with the emperor? Let this old guy instigate, he will just fall into the crotch of his pants, not that or that.

Taking a deep look at Huangfu Zhanwen, Emperor Zhaowu finally felt the pleasure of revenge, and then he boarded the broken ship with satisfaction......

"Why does it stink so much?" As soon as he got on the boat, His Majesty the Emperor was almost taken on the head.

"Father, the emperor will just take the order, you are on a boat that transports livestock." After all, Qin Zhan still has no hair on his mouth, and his speech is a little unreliable.

Emperor Zhaowu was so smoked that he covered his nose, and he was not in the mood to be as knowledgeable as him.

It was completely dark, the crossing was brightly lit, it was noisy and busy, and the army was still crossing the river.

On the north bank of the river there were more than 100,000 troops and a larger number of men, as well as a large number of horses and grain. Although there are eight pontoon bridges and 800 boats, they will not be completed in a short time.

Moreover, there is night blindness, and after dark, the vast majority of the people and a considerable number of soldiers cannot see clearly, and they dare not walk on the pontoon bridge anymore. Most of the transport tasks were on the 800 large and small ships, which further slowed down the speed of crossing the river.

"How long is it going to be?" Yang Wenyu asked anxiously.

"According to this posture," Shi Meng, who was in charge of organizing the river crossing, smacked his lips, "It's early by dawn." ”

"It's too dangerous!" Yang Wenyu looked at the endless darkness on the other side and said in a deep voice: "Speed up, let the army cross the river first!" ”

Shi Meng looked back and said with a wry smile: "Except for the Tiance Army, all the troops have already crossed the river. He explained in a low voice: "Old man Li insisted on waiting for us to pass together, and I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd." ”

As soon as he groaned, Yang Wenyu figured it out, and said softly: "He is afraid that there is danger on the other side...... In this case, it is naturally safer the later it is. It seems that after the day's fright, Li Hun has been very careful.

"Let him go......" Before Yang Wenyu's words fell, he heard a sailor screaming: "There is a fleet downstream!" Yang Wenyu turned his head sharply when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw that there were more lights hanging in mid-air on the surface of the black and dark river downstream......

He was born in the Zhennan Navy Army, so he naturally understood that those lights represented the big ships of the warship level, and they were heading towards the ferry. His face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a cold sweat: "Quick! Stop crossing the river and all ships are unloaded! ”

The siren sounded at the ferry! Some Qin soldiers wanted to get on the boat to cross the river, some wanted to get off the boat to avoid danger, and some people ran desperately from the pontoon bridge to the opposite side.

After a while, the uninvited guests who were swimming against the current finally showed their figures...... It is thirty 'water dragon warships' of the Qi country, these ships are equivalent to the ships of the Qin country, which are not conspicuous in ordinary times, but they are compared to big guys such as 'building boats' and 'giant elephants'.

At least for now, compared to the chaotic transport fleet of the Qin State, these 'Water Dragon Battleships' are some monsters like giants.

The monster struggled against the current, slowly sailing towards the ferry, and it seemed even more like it was dancing with its teeth and claws, and it was impossible to ......

The 'water dragon' in the middle is the flagship, and on the deck stand Xin Jiazang and a naval general.

At this time, General Xin, who has always been calm and sophisticated, was also full of excitement, and laughed loudly: "Brother, you are a wolf into the flock, you can kill it happily!" ”

Because the relationship with the state of Chu has been maintained well in the past few decades, the status of the navy in the state of Qi is slightly higher and limited than that of the garrison army. It was the general of the navy who put his posture very low, and said with a respectful smile: "It's all the handsome's clever calculations, and the general is wise to command!" ”

Xin Jiazang smiled and nodded: "Yes, the handsome man has no last resort, I expected that the Qin army would cross the river at this time, and the true gods are also!" "Although the speed of the Qin army crossing the river was much faster than Zhao Wuji expected, it still caught up, so it was natural to brag.

As he spoke, the fleet finally arrived at the edge of the ferry, and before it had time to wreak havoc on the small boat of the Qin State, it was violently attacked by the slingers on the shore, and the fire and oil bombs like flying fire meteors rained down, instantly smashing through one battleship and setting fire to another.

The Qi fleet was stunned by the head-on blow of the Qin army. Xin Jiazang and the general of the navy army were taken aback, and it took a while before they remembered to fight back.

But although the ship of Qi State was equipped with slingstones, the range and accuracy could not be compared with that of Qin...... Obviously, the Qin army's artillery attack position was discovered, but it couldn't hit anything, but it allowed many transport ships to take the opportunity to dock and unload.

Looking at the artillery attack of the Qin State again, it is really a whip and a mark, a slap and a palm blood, and every time you can gain something.

After attacking for a long time, the Qi ** ship did not hit the Qin army's artillery array, but it lost four warships, and six of them were whirring and on fire, and they entered the water, and I don't know if the damage is useless.

Seeing that it was not half a cent cheaper to attack, the Qi army changed its strategy...... Moving from a position close to the north bank to the south bank, away from the Qin army's artillery array, Ka was single-mindedly attacking the Qin army's transport ships on the south bank, and no longer cared about the enemy on the north bank.

Shi Meng commanded his subordinates to push the 'Seven Tip Stone Throwing Cannon', which had the longest range, to the river, and tried to shoot a cannon at the opposite side, but the result was still several feet short. Try a few more times and do the same, Shi Meng and his special battalion can only look at the river and sigh, they can't help!

The emperor Fu Zhanwen beside him stomped his feet and said, "No one can get by now!" "The turbulent and complex hydrological conditions of the great river and the frequent interruption of the flow make it impossible for the naval forces to survive here, and the naval armies of both Qin and Qi are deployed on the great river, and the warships have never been mobilized to the north in previous operations...... This was true even for the Qi army, which controlled the entrance to the sea.

After all, it is too dangerous to go all the way north from the sea route, after all, you still have to worry about the strongest naval army in the world in Nanchu!

But Zhao Wuyi is Zhao Wuyi after all, he unprecedentedly transferred the elite fleet on the river to the big river, although there were many hardships along the way, and a lot of warships were damaged, but this unexpected hand, after all, had a miraculous effect, not only stopped the Qin army with inertial thinking north of the river, but also cut off the connection between the emperor of Qin and the main force.

It is said that Emperor Zhaowu still has a lot of troops around him...... There are 100,000 people, but there are 50,000 people, 40,000 routs of all kinds, and only 10,000 Royal Forest Army, which can be regarded as a formed army...... The Imperial Forest Army was tasked with defending the imperial capital, and Emperor Zhaowu did not want them to suffer losses, so he only took half of the Golden Armor Imperial Forest to the expedition. Because the dragons were leaderless, the Royal Forest Army suffered heavy casualties in the daytime rout, and many were scattered, leaving only 10,000 people.

The warships of the Qi State blocked the southern ferry, and the 50,000 Qin troops on the north bank and more than 20,000 people could not cross the river. Yang Wenyu and Huangfu Zhanwen were in a hurry, and finally received an order from the prince: "The whole army will camp north and join the lonely king!" As if reassured, the two ordered the team to begin to pack up their baggage and prepare to go.

The two came to the camp where the Tiance Army was resting and asked to see the old lady.

Although it is a fire and water on weekdays, but now in a time of crisis, the two parties can only unite sincerely. After listening to the introduction of the two, Li Hun sighed, nodded and said, "Tell your lord, before returning to China, the old man and my Tiance army have listened to him!" No matter how conceited Li Hun was, he was impressed by Qin Lei's wisdom and atmosphere in this war.

The two were overjoyed, so they left one to be the liaison officer, and the other went out to inform the troops that they were ready to leave.

The Tiance army had already packed up and was ready to cross the river, so naturally there was no need to prepare, so they kept up with the pace of the Jingshan army and headed north with torches.

The south bank of the Great River......

"Why haven't they kept up?" Emperor Zhaowu anxiously circled around on the cart.

"Your Majesty, the Qi State Navy has blocked the river, and it is unlikely that they will cross the river." Marshal of the Forbidden Army, Ma Guangzu, said worriedly.

"Ah, what do we do then?" Emperor Zhaowu only cared about himself.

"Hurry up and return to the Tiger Prison!" Ma Guangzu said in a deep voice: "If it's late, it will change!" ”

"Let's go!" Emperor Zhaowu ordered repeatedly.

Ma Guangzu responded in a deep voice, but the worry on his face was even deeper. Although his qualifications are mediocre, he is also a veteran and has a unique sense of danger.
