Chapter 196: Xu Huang's Return to His Heart (II)

The atmosphere in the hall instantly eased.

Liu Cun smiled slightly, stood up and walked in front of Yang Feng, holding Yang Feng with one hand, and pointing at Xu Huang, who was flushed with excitement behind him with the other:

"Brother, how about giving up this tiger general under your command to the younger brother? If the elder brother agrees, the younger brother will evacuate Shaanxi County tomorrow, and he will also give half of the 6,000 captured war horses, all armor, knives and guns, all food and materials, and pawns to the elder brother. ”

Gongsun Fang and Cui Yan, who already knew that the lord liked Xu Huang under Yang Feng's command, looked at each other and smiled, they didn't know why the lord paid so much attention to a mere cavalry lieutenant who was born in Baibo and was a thief and had no reputation before, and they didn't know what was so good about Xu Huang, who was nearly thirty years old, but they believed that their lord had an unpredictable eye, and the lord had never missed it for several years.

During this period, Gongsun Fang had a very happy relationship with the older, depressed and unambitious Xu Huang, quite speculative, knowing that Xu Huang was born in poverty but always had ambitions, and for many years he could not help himself to fight, so that he honed his superb martial arts skills and steady character.

With the increase of age and the accumulation of experience, Xu Huang's vision and mind are more broad-minded, helpless to be born in troubled times, can't help it, for many years can only stumble, obscurity, now the name of benevolence spread all over the world The general Liu Cun values him, and provides him with a dream stage that he never dares to hope for, how can he not be excited and yearning? What's more, he didn't worship Yang as the lord.

The people in the hall who didn't know the inside story were taken aback, and Yang Biao's eyes widened incredibly:

It was nothing to send all the captured food and supplies to Yang Feng, but more than 10,000 pairs of armor of the Baibo Army, tens of thousands of swords, guns, swords, and halberds. and up to 3,000 sturdy war horses, which are hard to buy even if you have money. Add it all together. It is definitely a huge wealth worth more than a thousand gold.

And Liu Cun actually used such an unimaginable wealth in exchange for a cavalry lieutenant under Yang Feng who was used as a guard, how could he not shock everyone?

Everyone looked at it again and again, but they couldn't see anything outstanding about the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old guards behind Yang Feng, and it seemed that there was nothing refreshing except for his burly figure.

Yang Feng was also shocked, stunned for a moment and quickly turned around, staring blankly at Xu Huang, who had already lowered his head and stood solemnly. Soon turned to Liu Cun, who was looking forward to it with a smile, and agreed with a happy face:

"Being valued by General Zijian is the blessing of Gongming (Xu Huangzi), where is there any reason to be unfulfilled? Hahaha...... Komeito, why don't you come and see the general? ”

Xu Huang was shocked suddenly, forcibly endured the churning feelings in his heart, strode out, and knelt down on one leg with a "bang": "The last general has seen the general of the chariot!" ”

Liu Cun immediately stretched out his hands, helped Xu Huang up, and said solemnly: "Gongming." Whether others believe it or not, I have to say that you are a dusty jewel...... Your abilities. Your wisdom is not under my righteous brother Taishi Ziyi and my Qingzhou Army general Zhang He Zhang Junyi, so I hope that you will change your name from the bottom of my heart. ”

Xu Huang's square face quickly turned red, only to feel that his eyes were damp and his nose was sour, he slowly withdrew his hands, took half a step back, and pushed the golden mountain and the jade pillar slowly prostrate on the ground: "The lord is above, please accept Xu Huang's worship!" ”

The sun is falling in the west, the sky is full of colorful clouds, and dusk is coming unconsciously.

After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, the Qingzhou army, which seized dozens of ships and pursued them, launched three successive attacks on the Shaanxi-Tianjin ferry with a small number of enemies and fearless death, and finally paid the heavy price of more than 20 sunken ships and more than 2,000 dead and wounded, and fled back to the south bank of the river.

The Shaanxi-Tianjin ferry port was already in a mess at this time.

Although the exhausted 20,000 Baibo troops defeated the Qingzhou army and sank more than 20 large and small ships and more than 2,000 soldiers who went forward to follow suit, the price paid by the Baibo army was even greater, most of the facilities on the wharf and the left water army camp were still "crackling" and burning, and more than 30 large and small ships and more than 50 large sheepskin rafts were tragically burned.

Although the only building ship was still docked at the pier at the moment, it had turned into a giant torch because it could not extinguish the fire, and the thousands of wounded soldiers who were constantly being sent to the camp were screaming and wailing, and tens of thousands of people had already fled in the chaos.

As night fell, the unrecognizable three-mile-long ferry port was still blazing with smoke and fire, and Han Xian and Hu Jie stood on the high platform above the wharf, their faces replaced by deep worry.

After this battle, the Baibo army finally understood that the Qingzhou army was worthy of being a powerful army that shocked the world, not only dared to launch a pursuit with outnumbered enemies, but also was full of insidious and ruthless tricks, they actually moved hundreds of powerful crossbows to more than 60 ships, quietly sailed out of the dock from the upper reaches of the south bank, and then went down the river, rushing quickly, and firing powerful rockets at the camp of their own sailors and the fleet facing the battle from a distance.

Huge rockets made of unknown objects roared continuously, as long as they hit their own ships, they would immediately cause a violent fire, and then they did not hesitate to attack their own chaotic fleet, and a steady stream of dense arrows rained, in the blink of an eye, their own naval army was crushed, and then they forcibly launched a storm on the dock again and again.

Although the Qingzhou Army, which also suffered huge losses, was outnumbered and had fled back to the south bank, it would not be able to cross the river in a short time and fight again, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

After a brief discussion between Han Xian and Hu Jie, they had to admit that the battle had been defeated, and the defeat was still very bad, most of the 60,000 main forces were killed and wounded, and there were only more than 20,000 frightened and exhausted soldiers left in the camp tents that stretched for five miles above, and the 5,000 naval army that had been trained with great difficulty over the years was almost completely destroyed, and it was absolutely difficult to recover in two years, let alone dare to hope to firmly grasp the strategic location of Shaanxi-Jindu.

After a tense discussion, Hu Jie, who was in a heavy mood, resolutely said: "At the moment, we can only ask Yang Feng, who has been in contact with the Qingzhou Army, to mediate on his behalf...... The younger brother is willing to bring a lot of money to Hangu Pass, and let Yang Feng accompany him to Shaanxi County early tomorrow morning to ask Liu Cun, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, who is famous in the Han Dynasty. ”

"The elder brother led the whole army to rest for the night, and left this dangerous place early tomorrow morning, and immediately recruited troops after returning to the old nest and Anyi...... We can't afford to toss anymore, otherwise even if the Qingzhou army does not chase and fight fiercely, if the violent and cunning Yu Fuluo in the north learns of the defeat of our army, I am afraid that he will be moved by the wind and fall into the ground. ”

"Even Yuan Shao in the east, and even Li Dao and Guo Yan in the west, I'm afraid they will have the intention of annexing our army...... After this defeat, our Baibo army has reached a critical point of life and death! ”

Han Xian was in pain, pondered for a moment and nodded heavily, holding Hu Jie's hand tightly, sighing for a while.
