After learning that the cavalry general Chen Rui and Qiang cavalry under his command, Niu Hu captured several Guanzhong spies and obtained important information from the enemy. Moreover, after the enemy on the other side seemed to have any abnormal movement, he no longer suspected that he had lit up two hundred cavalry and rushed to meet with Chen Rui.

He wanted to personally interrogate the enemy spies who were dying and inspect the river defense line that was successfully smuggled by enemy spies on the other side.

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

Therefore, when the Qiang cavalry suddenly launched a signal and launched a sudden attack, Niu Hu and Hedong soldiers were caught off guard and were attacked from both sides, falling down a large area.

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

Until Chen Rui stabbed a short knife into Niu Hu's abdomen, Niu Hu stopped. He held tightly against Shen Rui's hands with his hair and left-sided lapel, and his eyes were full of fierceness. He spitted blood, trembling all over, and asked with extreme anger:

"Why, why betray?"

Niu Hu's scolding hit Chen Rui's heart like a heavy hammer, but Chen Rui's face, which was already covered in blood, was no longer panic or hesitant on his face.

He smiled bitterly and then became decisive.

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

As soon as Chen Rui finished speaking, he used force in his hand and stirred the short knife hard, and the strong body finally fell down weakly.

On that day, the Shen family of Fenyin rebelled, and the defending general Niu Hu died in a trap. Fenyin City and Hejin were lost in the territory.

···

The beacon defense line on the land has been broken, and Guo Si's army has finally exposed its long-hidden tracks. People and horses have built floating bridges, and boats are busy traveling. The large Xiliang army crossed the river and advanced eastward and invaded Hedong, which has become a igniting momentum!

Fortunately, there were still several soldiers from beacon towers who sent messages in time.

However, the fall of Fenyin, the bad news of Guo Si crossing the river spread, and the Hedong territory was shocked. The official roads of various cities were frequently circulated, and the feathers were issued. Anyi was shocked a lot in a day!

The sound of horse hooves of the Xiliang Army's horses was constantly ringing on the east bank of the river. The defense line of the river that was deployed along the river was torn apart out of thin air. The omnipresentation of the original defense line suddenly became omnipresent.

In Hedong, he was unable to piece together a soldier that could resist Guo Si's Liang army.

Therefore, the hopes that Hedong has placed and the important task of defending the enemy have undoubtedly fallen to the Hedong Zhoushi led by Wu Qiuxing.

From Fenyin to attack Anyi, from Puban to recover Fenyin, the marching lines between the enemy and us crossed, all the way east and north.

After Guo Si's army crossed the river, the vanguard army was ordered to attack Anyi. Wuqiuxing, who was stationed in Puban, heard that Fenyin was lost, was ordered to dispatch a boat army to go upstream and prepare to cross the river and rescue Fenyin. Although these two things were not agreed by both sides, they were both survival strategies that the enemy and us simultaneously responded and implemented.

Under the crisis of the Xiliang Army's plan to "speak east and attack west, avoid the real and attack the virtual", Wuqiuxing, who was originally stationed in Puban and Fengling crossing the line, was ordered to lead the Hedong's boat troops to go upstream, which became a key link to restore the decline.

While he was uneasy, he also had ambitions and aspirations. He wanted to lead the Hedong Zhoushi to reappear last year's brilliant record of defeating Hongnong, cutting off Zhang Ji's 50,000 troops' retreat, and save Hedong's foundation in crisis again.

But this time, Wu Qiuxing, who was going upstream, encountered something difficult.

Guo Si's 30,000 troops were able to cross the river quickly, and they also borrowed the convenience of boats and wooden pontoon bridges. However, with Zhang Ji's previous experience, Guo Si's troops now had corresponding solutions when facing the small river in Hedong. They were no longer half panicked and helpless as Zhang Ji's Hongnong army.

Although the boat troops led by Wu Qiuxing were all composed of tower ships and Mengchong, they were light and agile, not as bulky as grain transport ships. They did not need to be pulled by boaters along the river and land along the river.

But after all, it was tracing the source and the ship speed could not be as fast as before. Therefore, when the Hedong Zhoushi led by Wu Qiuxing entered the waters of Fenyin, Guo Si's army had already crossed the river.

Faced with this situation, there was no way to stop Zuo Fengyi's large number of enemy troops from crossing the river again, but Wu Qiuxing still chose to make up for the failure, hoping to use the benefits of warships to destroy the floating bridge where Guo Si's army crossed the river. So he recruited a flag and ordered it to destroy the floating bridge where Guo Si's army crossed the river.

Guo Si's army of brigades could not defend against the attacks launched by the Hedong Zhou Army on its own buoyant bridge in the water, but these seemingly unprepared buoyant bridges soon caused great losses to the Mengchong warship under Wu Qiuxing's command.

There are sharp weapons such as iron cones under the pontoon bridge. While Mengchong's warships rush around and destroy the enemy's pontoon bridge, they are easily destroyed by the iron cones hidden under the water. Once the hull of Mengchong's warships is destroyed into the water, even if the soldiers and oarsmen on the ship are blocked in time and repair the gaps, they will not sink on the spot. However, the speed will slow down and Mengchong's warships will lose the speed advantage they originally had in the water battle.

On the shore.

The officers of the Hedong Zhoushi ran up the top deck of the stairs and hurriedly advised Wu Qiuxing, who was commanding.

"The commander, the enemy has been prepared for a long time. There are many iron-conical sharp weapons under the pontoon bridge. Now it has broken through and destroyed many pontoon bridges of the enemy. However, our Ark Division is also damaged. It is not advisable to fight again today. To ensure completeness, it is better to retreat for the first time!"

In the battle to defeat Zhang Jihongnong's army, Vioqiu Xing made great contributions and was promoted to the commander of the Lou Chuan by Yan Xing.

At this moment, he held the female wall on the tower ship with his hand, frowning. The strong wind on the river blew his battle robe, who was in a high place.

Guo Si's army was prepared for a long time, so he couldn't see it.

However, the Hedong Zhoushi led by himself could no longer block Guo Si's army from crossing the river in time. At this time, after entering the waters of Fenyin, if the Hedong Zhoushi had not yet achieved one or two achievements to attract the attention of Guo Si's army and delay the enemy's attack on cities in Hedong, then after this battle, no matter whether Hedong wins or loses, Wuqiu Xing will not escape the blame.

The construction and establishment of the Hedong Zhoushi was in the county government and the shogunate at the beginning. If it weren’t for the prefect Yan Xing’s efforts to dispel the opposition, and Wu Qiuxing later made great contributions to blocking the enemy in the battle of Hongnong’s army that counterattacked Zhang Ji, this unique Heshang Zhoushi would have died early in the opposition of the county government officials and the shogunate generals.

Wu Qiu Xing is currently at the forefront of such a storm, and his situation is like a dilemma.

If according to his original idea, although the Hedong Zhoushi could not block Guo Si's army's crossing the river, if it could destroy the floating bridges of Guo Si's army, and make a way to cross the river and cut off the retreat route of Guo Si's army, it would at least play a role in delaying Guo Si's army and share some of the pressure for cities and towns such as Anyi.

But now it has just burned and destroyed half of the enemy's floating bridge, and its own Mengchong warships have damaged two.

According to this trend, how could Wuqiuxing still attack the Fenyin River and Jinshui Village, which had an unknown number of enemy troops?

Is it going forward or retreat?

Wu Qiuxing fell into a dilemma and was left unaware of the advice of military forces around him.

Seeing that Wu Qiuxing was hesitant, the military officer became anxious. After thinking for a while, he had an idea and changed his tone to persuade Wu Qiuxing.

"Prince, our boat troops retreated today, not to fear the great enemy's momentum and retreat to avoid war, but to plan a strategy to break the enemy!"

After hearing the military officer's words, Wu Qiuxing, who was hesitant and silent, raised his eyebrows slightly and finally moved his mouth.

"Continue talking!"

The military officer was encouraged and was shocked, and then continued:

"There are iron cones under the enemy's floating bridge. The number is unknown. The boat troops should not use the usual methods to approach and burn it. At this time, it is better to retreat temporarily and send soldiers on the boat to cut down trees, make wooden rafts, and use firewood to attract fire. Use this impact to approach the enemy's floating bridge--"

Wu Qiu Xing suddenly heard this and realized something, and his original blocked thoughts became instantly active.

After going upstream, I could no longer avoid the fact that Guo Si's army crossed the river. Burning the floating bridges, boats, and attacking the Fenyin River and Jinshui Village became the top priority.

Although the temporary retreat cannot attract the main force of the enemy, it also has more time and energy to prepare for strategies to defeat the enemy.

In addition to using wooden rafts to hit and burn the floating bridge, this retreat can also show that the enemy is weak and confusing the enemy's army, creating a good fighter for the next comeback, attacking the Fenyin Water Village, and burning the enemy's boats!

If the plan works well and can defeat the enemy, even though I avoid the battle for the moment, I will definitely make contributions without any mistakes. The kind of crime of lip service and fearing the enemy as if I am a tiger cannot bear the responsibility of my own.

Wu Qiuxing exhaled a sip of turbid air. He finally made up his mind to order the trumpet and flags to withdraw his troops and retreat.

So, in the mist and water vapor, the Hedong Zhoushi's tower ships, Mengchong and other warships successively ruddered and turned down the water flow, giving up the pace of intensifying the attack, and gradually turned into black dots and disappeared on the vast river.
