Just when the northern and southern armies were fighting, Xu Rui broke away from the battle line with the Apocalypse Guard, disrupted the enemy's rear, burned the enemy's three granaries one after another, and completely smashed the enemy's ability to fight a protracted war.

In fact, whether it is disrupting the enemy's command or burning the enemy's grain and grass, although it is not a frontal battle, it is of great significance to the battle situation.

If it weren't for the efforts of Xu Rui and Tian Qiwei, this battle would have ended hastily according to the plan of the Wuling pro-army, and the hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Northern Dynasty would definitely not be able to escape the fate of the annihilation of the entire army, and it would never be as it is now, not only was there no defeat, but there was even a slight possibility of victory.

Before the war, almost no one could have imagined that Xu Rui could only influence the trend of the entire battle situation with hundreds of remnants of soldiers who had run out of ammunition and food, and when he reviewed and summarized after the war, he didn't know how many famous people would be shocked.

I'm afraid that even the high-ranking soldier Saint Wuling King will be impressed by this eighteen-year-old kid, not to mention the Heavenly Apocalypse Guard, who had already praised Xu Rui as a god, was almost regarded as a god at this time.

However, with Xu Rui and Tian Qiwei's current state, these are the last contributions they can make at this stage, and although they have slightly reversed the situation, they are still not enough to make the Northern Dynasty win.

Xu Rui knows very well that the current advantage of the Southern Dynasty is still terrifying, their chances of winning are still more than seventy percent, and the Apocalypse Guard has been squeezed out of the last bit of value, and there are very few things that can be done, in order to reverse this situation, just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Xu Rui quietly left the battlefield with the Apocalypse Guard, without taking a single cloud with him.

On June 21, the 17th year of Hongwei, Tianqiwei arrived at the Jiuzhou River beach.

This is a dangerous shoal on the Chunchao River, the main inland waterway shipping in the Northern Dynasties, and it is only thirty miles away from the final destination that Han Qi pointed out on the map.

But it was these thirty miles that crossed a mountain peak, allowing Xu Rui and Tian Qiwei to return to the other side of the battle line, and they were able to walk at least two days less.

Han Qi naturally wouldn't have thought that Xu Rui's final destination would be here, because this was not a dock at all, and the Apocalypse Guard, who was eager to get supplies, seemed to be unable to meet the aid from the capital here.

But Xu Rui taught Han Qi a lesson with practical actions, telling him what it means to be impermanent, and water has no shape.

On the same day, Princess Qixia "stole" the gold medal of Emperor Hongwei and ordered the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War to hand over all the supplies to An Ge, who immediately used all the funds of the Galaxy Group to acquire all the ships that were stranded in Changxing City because of the war.

Then he loaded the supplies into the ship as fast as he could, went down the river, and finally transported all the supplies to the Jiuzhou River Beach within the time specified by Xu Rui, and the Apocalypse Guard only arrived an hour earlier than them, and the cooperation was accurate.

In addition to accurate and efficient long-distance transportation, material landing is a classic.

As the name suggests, there is only a river beach and no wharf.

According to the usual experience, it is impossible to load and unload supplies here, but Ange ordered the big ship to rush directly onto the shallows with the impact of the current, and ran the ship directly on the bank of the river.

The water in the upper reaches of the Jiuzhou River Beach is turbulent, but it suddenly eases down when it arrives here, and there are no reefs here, so the huge flat-bottomed boat can rush to the river bank safely, which is the method Xu Rui came up with based on the introduction of a soldier in the army who was a local fisherman.

Thus appeared this extremely spectacular and absurd scene, and countless boats on the seven or eight miles long river beach rushed ashore like fish leaping over the dragon gate, and the people on board and under the boat immediately swarmed up and began to unload their cargo like ants.

The long river beach seemed to have turned into a huge freight yard, everything seemed crazy and chaotic, but in fact it was in good order, and the huge amount of supplies was unloaded in only half an hour, even a few points more efficient than the wharf.

It's a pity that Han Qi is dead, and he can't see all this anymore, otherwise if he sees with his own eyes that he guessed wrong again, he doesn't know how he will feel.

On the first big boat, An Ge and Yuan Zixiong got off the boat together, and the continuous sleepless made An Ge look very tired, but although Yuan Zixiong vomited all the way, he was in good spirits after getting off the boat.

Cao Siyuan, who had been waiting on the shore to direct the unloading, saw them at a glance and immediately led the two to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui was still stiff at the moment, so he had to tie his waist with a rope and sit upright on a chair, looking like the overseer of the Malaysian Golden Knife from a distance, but he was still a little powerful.

"Young Master! Master, I'm back! ”

An Ge was overjoyed when he saw Xu Rui, but when he rushed to Xu Rui, he found his abnormality, and his face suddenly changed: "Young master, you are ......"

Yuan Zixiong is an old man and a master of supervision, seeing Xu Rui's expressionless face and stiff body, he naturally saw that something was wrong at a glance, and looked at him in shock.

Xu Rui couldn't wave his hand, and he couldn't nod, so he could only open the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "If you encounter a little accident, don't worry, it will get better after a while, but you have worked hard." ”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, looked at Yuan Zixiong and said, "Master Yuan, why don't you stay in the capital, but come in person?" ”

A solemn look appeared on Yuan Zixiong's face, as if he was a little embarrassed, and before he could really speak, An Ge said intimately for him: "Young master, you are right, there are indeed people in Beijing who blame you for bombarding Bandung City.

The prince is even more down, taking advantage of this matter to personally go out, wanting to forcibly occupy the original base, Old Man Yuan desperately resisted, but still couldn't resist them, if I go back later, we are afraid that the family wealth we have accumulated will have to change its name and surname! ”

"Hmph, I'm really daring, I really think I can't go back, or do you think I'm Xu Rui easy to bully?"

Xu Rui's eyes suddenly sank, and he sneered and muttered to himself.

Yuan Zixiong's face darkened, and he said guiltily: "I'm ashamed, the lord entrusted the source to the old man, but the old man was overwhelmed, and he was almost taken by someone, but fortunately, King Yu stepped forward, and Princess Qixia helped each other, so we could escape."

It's just that Princess Qixia stole the gold medal of the saint for the sake of the young master, and the saint has been imprisoned in anger, with the ruthlessness of Emperor Hongwei, I don't know what will happen to the princess, and the lord is afraid that he will have to think of a way. ”

"This Qingwu ......"

Hearing Yuan Zixiong mention Princess Qixia, Xu Rui's heart warmed, at that time, all the people who could help Xu Rui went out to fight, and only this woman could rely on it, she finally lived up to expectations and helped Xu Rui get through the difficulties.

As for Princess Qixia being imprisoned by Emperor Hongwei, Xu Rui is not too worried, he knows Emperor Hongwei better than Yuan Zixiong, if this guy wants to leak a drop of water, how can Princess Qixia steal the gold medal?

I'm afraid the so-called captivity is more of a gesture, but I don't know who the emperor wants to take after such a big bay this time.

However, even if the emperor does not have the intention of embarrassing Qingwu, it is inevitable to suffer some grievances, not to mention that it is not easy for a woman to ask for help, if there is a choice, Xu Rui will never open his mouth to Princess Qixia.

"Prince? It seems that he thinks that his position as the crown prince is too secure, and there are those minions and eagle dogs, none of you can escape......"

Xu Rui said coldly in his heart, in this world, in addition to the few people who treat him sincerely, what he cares about most is the little money he has worked so hard to save, if anyone touches this piece of cheese, he will gnaw that person to the scum.

Although the matter has come to an end, it is obvious that the real price will not begin to be liquidated until Xu Rui returns to the capital.

Now that the war is in full swing, it is not the time to think about this, Xu Rui put his chaotic emotions behind him, looked at Yuan Zixiong and said, "How is the supply situation this time?" ”

Yuan Zixiong arched his hand at Xu Rui and said, "Before you left Beijing, the Holy Lord issued a secret decree ordering the Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War to produce artillery and ammunition with all its might.

The Arsenal Division is also quite effective, and has hoarded a lot of things.

This time, we dug up all the stocks, more than 23,000 shells, more than 40,000 grenades, plus 42 new barrels we just made, as well as countless repeater accessories and crossbow arrows, which should be enough for the lord to do a big job! ”

"Good!"

Xu Rui laughed and said: "It's still the head of the Yuan family who thinks clearly, don't say anything else, the forty-two cannon barrels are too important, don't hide it from you, our artillery is mixed, the good news is that there is no problem with the strength of the cannon body that I was most worried about before, at least there is no explosion;

The worry is that the rifling of the artillery wears out too quickly, and in the big battle in the valley, the rifling of the artillery has almost been smoothed out by the shells in the end, and the accuracy advantage has been lost, otherwise the thousand Black Flag Army will definitely not want to go back safely! ”

Yuan Zixiong didn't dare to take credit, and arched his hand at Xu Rui again: "The old man personally escorted these cannon barrels this time for this purpose, and when the technical team replaces the cannon barrels, the old man will bring back the worn cannon barrels to calculate the data, and we will be able to develop a new generation of artillery, and then the technology of the imperial court will fall behind, except for us, no one wants to really master the cutting-edge technology." ”

Xu Rui wanted to nod when he heard this, but he couldn't move his neck, so he had to laugh and said: "This is my original intention, as long as the speed of technology update is fast enough, I am not afraid of others taking advantage of it, let's slowly grasp the lifeblood of the world, and when others find out, we will be powerless to return to the sky!" ”

An Ge nodded: "The young master is extremely right, but the premise is that this battle must be won, and the loss must not be too great, otherwise we will have no space and time for development." ”

Hearing him mention the war, Xu Rui's eyes suddenly sank: "Yes, the current battle situation is not optimistic, both sides are gambling highly, it depends on who dares to bet, anyway, I am already ALL IN, I don't know if King Wuling wants to accompany me to gamble on this game!" ”

Although everyone didn't understand what ALL IN was, they smelled a bit of crisis from Xu Rui's words, An Ge and Yuan Zixiong glanced at each other, and then looked at Xu Rui's state at this time, and a trace of worry flashed on their faces.
