More than 60 ships were throwing incendiary bombs around the river berth, only two-thirds of which were thrown. Almost most of the crossbows on merchant ships and warships had problems. There was no way. The crossbows were not the artillery of later generations, but even the artillery of later generations would be scrapped if hundreds or thousands of shots were fired by a barrel.

What's more, most structures use wooden crossbows and stone throwers? Well, there are eight crossbows on the battleship, five in the front and three in the back. Even if each crossbow can be fired 100 times, continuous firing will definitely damage the weapon structure, so the eight crossbows on a warship can only eject four or five hundred incendiary bombs, which will be damaged.

The armed merchant ships can be as many as four crossbows and two. On average, only one ship cannons ejected about 100 incendiary bombs and almost scrapped, but even so, the entire river bay has become a sea of ​​flames.

Even so, several armed merchant ships were still too excited and wanted to get closer and throw the incendiary bomb, but almost loaded their own ship in.

The fire continued until the next morning, and even the people of Hancheng County could see it. Until the morning, Wei Yunqi gathered more than a dozen ships with undamaged crossbows.

Then, with these ten warships and armed merchant ships, they left the Fen River, and entered the Yellow River, and arrived at the dock beside the Yellow River outside Fenyin City, and threw hundreds of incendiary bombs. After the dock and the docking ships all started to ignite a fire, Wei Yunqi then led the fleet back to Hancheng with satisfaction.

In this battle, when the Zheng army first battled against the river beside the war, three armed merchant ships were lost. After that, there was not even a single hair loss, all of which were long-range attacks. The opponent had no heavy long-range weapons at all, and could only watch the ships being burned and stared at them.

Moreover, because it is a high-purity spirit, even if it is used to put out water, when the fire starts, it is really a drop in the bucket. And later, because the fire is too big, Zheng Jun has to escape, and the fire burns along the wharf to the shore, and even the wood on the shore is almost burned.

At nearly noon, after Wei Yunqi received the information sent back from the ship left behind outside the river bend, Wei Yunqi sent another more detailed good news.

"... At least nearly a thousand rafts and boats, unexpectedly, they were gone in an instant. The important thing is to burn away the morale of the Zheng army and the courage to attack us." Du Ruhui laughed loudly.

"Yes, after this battle, even most of their piles of wood were burned away. What else did Wang Shichong use to build a boat?" Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard and laughed loudly. "The great troubles are gone, and Hancheng is worry-free."

The clouds of the past few days were swept away at this moment. Even Wei Zheng, who had always been black-faced, smiled at this moment, and the old chrysanthemums blooming in autumn. "What a great Wei Yunqi, such a crisis situation, he actually solved it at such a fast speed."

"I just don't know if Master Liang and the Turks knew about this news?" Ma Zhou also looked happy and forgot that he was angry with Wei Yunqi's rash move.

However, Ma Zhou was also for the sake of the country, not just for personal grudges. Besides, not only him, but also a large number of civil and military ministers were roaring together at that time. I believe they must be a little embarrassed now.

"Even if the Liang Shizhu and the Turks don't know, we are not afraid to attack according to the original plan. Anyway, all the preparations have been done, and I am still afraid that they will not come. I will come, so I will sacrifice my soldiers and horses to sacrifice their swords." I smiled coldly and said confidently.

Yes, even such a big crisis can be solved. Are you still afraid that the two generals who lost the army, Liang Shidu and the Turks, would not succeed? However, no matter what, since Wang Shichong dared to bring out such a big show, then, in the future, I will definitely give a favor, otherwise, wouldn't it be too cheap for him?

The Turks and Liang Shi finally received the news, and knew that it was Wei Yunqi, the guy who took action himself, burned countless Zheng Jun boats and ships, and burned the dock outside Fenyin City to the end.

This move made Zheng's army prepare for the air strike of Hancheng County and died in the womb. Moreover, the nearby Hewan Camp and Fenyin County were burned to clean the pier. The 50,000 Zheng's army could only stare at the shore, and could not even make any counterattack. He could only see Wei Yunqiu's two major tickets and returned to Hancheng with great power.

At this moment, Li Yuan, who had already received the information from us, moved, stayed in the camp with 5,000 people and continued to show off his posture with Cui Shu. Li Yuan led 25,000 people to attack with lightning speed, divided his troops into two groups, attacking Longmen and Fenyin.

Zheng Jun, who had just been burned to death by the fire and had not yet come back to his senses, wouldn't have thought that Li Yuan would lead the Tang army behind him. Zhang Gongjin was defeated. His 50,000 troops were injured or killed, and nearly 20,000 surrendered. Only less than 20,000 soldiers with no morale fled to the south of Hedong County with Zhang Gongjin.

Although Cui Shu was supported, Li Yuan was still re-occupied by Li Yuan in the north of Hedong County. Zhang Gongjin and Cui Shu had no choice but to retreat to the south of the county.

After this battle, Wang Shichong was furious and had a good chance. Tens of thousands of troops were thrown in and couldn't even catch the hair, and he also paid nearly 40,000 troops. Wang Shichong originally wanted to lead the army to it, but in the end, he was blocked by the ministers, so he could only issue an order to reprimand Zhang Gongjin and Cui Shu, and ordered the two of them to strictly guard the south of Hedong County and not cause any further changes. Otherwise, Wang Shichong would definitely not spare these two guys.

Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hedong County could not be retrieved, the problem was that this battle caused Wang Shichong to suffer a great loss and suffered losses in the short term. I believe that Wang Shichong would definitely not act arbitrarily anymore. The important thing is that I have sent troops.

Although Wang Shichong's total number of troops still exceeded that of Li Yuan, there was no sign of a counterattack. Instead, he retreated and guarded the Luanshui line and several strongholds close to the Yellow River, which clearly turned his attention to this young master.

Moreover, Wang Shichong sent 10,000 more troops to the township. It was obvious that this guy was a little scared after being hit by this young master's thunder, so he focused on me, and the confrontation between Xu Shiji and Li Shimin also slowed down.

It can be said that the actions of this young master made Li Yuan much more relaxed, and the pressure on the southern line finally disappeared. Therefore, after Li Yuan won, Li Shimin wrote another letter to express his gratitude to me, but it was more to express his gratitude to me on behalf of Li Yuan.

The old guy was embarrassed to say it, so he could only do it for his friend Li Shimin.

However, after winning the great victory, I did not relax. I immediately informed Wei Yunqi, left all the ten armed merchant ships that had just been launched, and then transferred ten from the merchant ships to join the navy in Hancheng County. After the armed merchant ship was equipped with crossbows, it transformed into a murderous intent and a warship full of crossbows, like a hedgehog.

From now on, we will continue our routine patrol every month, and we must control the entire Yellow River master and its main channel in our hands. We must never let such a thing happen again.

All the senior leaders of the Chinese Empire breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was Wei Zheng and others who were near Chang'an or Qu Tutong and others who were far away in Bashu, they all tasted a big deal to be able to resolve the crisis brought by Zheng's army.

Otherwise, the plan to attack Shuzhong would inevitably be affected, and it might even be in vain to protect the interests of Guanzhong.

Now that the crisis in Guanzhong has been lifted, it has not affected the strategy of advancing south, which is naturally the best result. Then, I personally traveled to Hancheng County to visit and comfort those meritorious ministers.

Although the ministers wanted to stop it, my son insisted that, in addition, Hancheng County is now in crisis, and it is my son's nest and a place of taxes in Guanzhong. My son went to inspect in person, which just soothes people's hearts, so the ministers finally made concessions.

This young master directly rejected the ministers' request to have a full guard of etiquette when I traveled, and decided to lead only one Imperial Guard Cavalry Regiment to Hancheng as a escort. However, they were stopped by the ministers and thought that they were the emperor after all, and they could not lose their duties. No matter how much they were, they could not bring a full guard of etiquette, but at least they had to ride a carriage.

In desperation, I had to agree to their request. However, after leaving Chang'an City about fifty miles, I asked Li Xuanba's entire army to stop moving forward.

"Take my horse over here." This young master jumped out of the carriage, moved his hands and feet, and greeted Li Yuanfang.

"Brother-in-law, didn't you agree to the carriage of Shangshu Fang and Dean Wei? Why did you..." Li Xuanba, who had already gotten closer, couldn't help but say curiously.

"That was a headache for them and they had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, my brother-in-law would not have to leave Beijing." The young master couldn't help but say angrily.

After all, I am a person with both civil and military skills. Why do you have to let me sit in the carriage to show off? Besides, is it useful to sit in the carriage? In fact, what is more important is that both of my wives are pregnant and cannot travel far away. Otherwise, I would definitely propose to take the carriage. In this way, although I can't order anything with my wives on the carriage, it's okay to eat tofu and play with intimacy.

Now, instead of staying in a daze, it is better to move your legs and feet, practice riding, and see the scenery along the way.

Soon, my young master's mount was led over. Ahha, with my roar, the mounts under him roared and spread their four hooves and began to run wildly on the road. A whole guard group also started to move, just like a long red and black dragon, along a gray-white river, moving upstream and moving towards the distance.
