Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After a while, the only remaining one hundred river boats turned their bows in a mighty manner, and returned to the track they had come from.

Hu Bilie's plan to forcibly cross the Heishui River was declared a complete failure.

As the more than a hundred surviving ships of the White Lotus Sect turned back and retreated, the defense line of the Black Jiaxuan Barracks immediately burst into cheers, venting the tension and depression they had suffered before.

With only 100 soldiers and 10 bed crossbows, they blocked more than [-] river boats and more than [-] bandit troops from crossing, and finally destroyed more than [-] ships and nearly [-] troops of the opponent. This is an amazing record.

Even Cao Luxun, who has always led the Heijiaxuan Bingbattalion across the country, and has been victorious in all battles, has to admit that this is definitely a miracle.

The east gate of Lingnan City, on the tower.

It was also caught in a roar of cheers.

Pang Feihu, Kang Bao, Cheng Erniu, Zhu Fatty and others celebrated with each other.

Guo Ye, on the other hand, quietly walked out of the sea of ​​cheers, came to a secluded corner of the city tower, leaned against the city wall and let out a sigh of relief.

But he couldn't be happy, really couldn't be happy.

Because he knows very well that Hu Bilie is a fool, but it doesn't mean that there are no discerning people in Qianzhou City. Someone must have seen that the crossbow guns are exhausted and the bed crossbow is about to become a decoration.

Then, the next battle, compared to Hu Bilie's battle, is bound to be more dangerous and more intense.

At that time, not to mention Cao Luxun's [-]-strong Heijiaxuan Battalion, I am afraid that even the east gate tower will not be able to stop the bandit army from forcibly crossing the Heishui River and storming Lingnan City.

Losing the game is already the general trend, but I don't know how long it can last.

withdraw?

Not his real intention.

At this moment, he could only hope that Li Jing would quickly recover the fifteen prefectures in Lingnan and help him as soon as possible.

otherwise……

He really could only look like a rabbit with his tail between his legs, being chased all over the mountain by the white lotus bandit army.

Although running away is a tactic, and not fighting is fighting, but if you really get to that point, you will really lose your lord if you pass it back to Chang'an!

Chapter 1094 The old god made a move!

Hu Bilie had great ambitions to be a teacher but was not paid, and he suffered a big loss if he was not successful.

In the battle of forcibly crossing the Heishui River alone, more than 120 warships were damaged, and [-] religious bandits were buried in the belly of fish.

In less than three or two hours, half of the troops were lost, which is not to say that the casualties were heavy.

In the end, he declared the failure of the plan to forcibly cross the Heishui River by withdrawing his troops and turning back.

When his warship returned to the ferry pier at the west gate of Qianzhou City, it was already sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sunset was quietly flying all over the sky until dusk.

He ordered his troops to set up camp near the west gate and stay here temporarily.

Then he led a few entourages into the west gate alone and entered the city of Qianzhou.

On the way into the city, he secretly thought that Duguyu must have known about his defeat when there was such a big commotion on the Heishui River last time.When I go to see Duguyu at this time, I will definitely be lectured by Duguyu, you must know that I have sworn to Duguyu before, no matter how much it costs, even if I lose my family, I will successfully cross the black water River, take away the first line of defense of the officers and soldiers.

Now that he has suffered a defeat, he hastily retreated, leaving behind the lives of [-] troops.I'm afraid there's nothing good to say when we get to Duguyu's place?

especially……

A sharp look flashed across Hu Bilie's eyes, because he could guess that Yu Jingde's old dog must still be at Duguyu's place now, and the three puppies of Yu's family must also be there.

They were all waiting at Duguyu's place to see their own jokes.If I went to Duguyu's place now and ran into these bastards from the Yu family, I would definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed by the other father and son.

Hu Bilie originally had a rift with the Yu family and his son and didn't deal with it. Now that he had lost the battle and withdrew halfway, he was panicking with embarrassment, how could he take the initiative to send him to the door, and stretched his face over to let the Yu family slap his mouth. ah?

don't go!

Resolutely not to go, even if killed!

At least now is not a good time to go.

Therefore, Hu Bilie deliberately avoided Duguyu's residence in Qianzhou City, which was the governor's mansion with gold bricks hidden underground.Instead, he went to a house that he temporarily occupied in Qianzhou City.

He must avoid the limelight, and also avoid the sharpness of his father and son. Now, alas... I really can't afford to lose that person!

As soon as he returned to the house, Hu Bilie sent a few followers around him to boil water and make tea for him, light a fire and make food for him, and then went back to the bedroom alone, ready to catch up on some sleep , The fierce battle on the Heishui River before was really exhausting and nerve-wracking, and I really needed to replenish my physical strength.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Hu Bilie was frightened.

Because there are other people in the house...

"Hey, you are a living god!"

When Hu Bilie saw that the person who appeared in the room turned out to be a mysterious old man who had been missing for a long time, he couldn't help jumping forward, yelling like aggrieved and complaining: "My living god, where have you been, old man?"

Hu Bilie's aggrieved appearance is like a pissed off daughter-in-law, which is called a grudge.He almost cried bitterly while hugging the opponent's thigh.

However, he is also a majestic seven-foot man, with a rough appearance, and this indifferent demeanor makes people even more disgusted.

The mysterious old man and immortal is not an outsider, but Yuan Tiangang who rode a donkey to find Guo Ye before.

Of course, because Yuan Tiangang's whereabouts are secretive, his words and deeds are extremely low-key, so far, no one from top to bottom in the White Lotus Sect knows his identity.

Do you know Yuan Tiangang?Not for nothing.

When he was in Chang'an that year, Yuan Tiangang had a relationship with Yu Jingde, the old patriarch of the current Yu family, in Changsun Wuji's mansion.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Yuan Tiangang is unwilling to reveal his whereabouts and appear in front of the White Lotus Sect.

However, Yu Jingde, the only one who had a relationship with Yuan Tiangang, had no chance to meet Yuan Tiangang at the White Lotus Sect from the beginning to the end.Because Hu Bilie was afraid that others would poach his old god, so he kept it a secret, and indirectly helped Yuan Tiangang save a lot of trouble.

The appearance of Yuan Tiangang made Hu Bilie, who had been sluggish because of the defeat just now, suddenly revived, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyebrows and eyes could not conceal his excitement.

Hu Bilie looked at Yuan Tiangang and continued to vomit bitterness: "Oh, my old god, your absence from the first one has made me miserable."

Naturally, Yuan Tiangang knew about Hu Bilie being slapped on the Heishui River by that kid Guo Ye, and the loss was quite heavy.

Immediately, he snorted, and asked coldly: "Master Hu, are you blaming and questioning this old man? Hehe, this old man is not a member of your bullshit White Lotus Sect, and I won't tolerate you talking around."

"what?"

When Hu Bilie saw Yuan Tiangang throwing his face full of displeasure, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Old god, you misunderstood, how dare I blame and question you old man? If there is no reminder from your old man that day , How can I have Hu Bilie today? Alas... I just suffered a defeat on the Heishui River and lost nearly half of the strength of the headquarters, what a loser in my heart!!!"

Listening to Hu Bilie explaining and complimenting, and finally heaving a long sigh, Yuan Tiangang's unhappy face eased a little.

However, he still didn't look at him directly, but walked a few steps with a flick of his sleeves, and continued to turn his back to Hu Bilie and said: "The old man on the Heishui River has been paying attention, hehe, underestimating the enemy, right? You Do you really think that it is a joke that the imperial court sent someone surnamed Guo to take up the post of chief officer of the Guangnan Road march? Although this person is young, he can take on this important task. Don’t you know the details of the other party? As far as I know, this person Fighting with soldiers has always been won by odds, and this time you fell into his hands, it is too commonplace."
