Qian Jiulong shouted loudly at the top of his lungs, but this could not change the situation.

He led three hundred personal guards to resist the impact of the grassland cavalry. His personal guards were dispersed three times and gathered three times again, but they were still defeated in the end. Qian Jiulong was shot with an arrow on his waist, but he was rescued by his left and right personal soldiers. Then he retreated out of the battlefield.

Once Qian Jiulong left, there was no suspense in the remaining battle.

Yinghefu led his five thousand cavalry to sweep the entire battlefield. The soldiers of the Tang army were either captured or fled, and the 20,000 civil servants were all scattered.

The roads all over the mountain are full of grain trucks and grass.

"Sir, what should I do next?" A general pointed to the grain bag on the mountain road and asked Yinghefu.

"It's burned!" Yinghefu said casually.

“It’s so wasteful!”

"Even waste is burned!"

"Okay, my boys, I've burned all these grain trucks for me, and I can't keep any of them! What a pity!" The general looked full of regret.

When the cavalry of the French army raised fire and burned them on the road, the grain bags on each chicken bus were unloaded, and then concentrated in one place and set fire to the fire.

"Ten thousand stones of military rations are so fucking spectacular!" The French general said to himself.

"What's this? Li Jiancheng was about to cry when he heard the news. He sent an order to withdraw his troops!"

After saying that, by Wangwu Mountain and by the Yellow River, the black smoke has already rushed to the sky!

Heyang Tang Army Camp.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were drinking, and there were more than 30 Tang army soldiers playing shield dances under the tent.

The army prohibited singers, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were used to enjoying others on weekdays, so he had to use this to entertain the fun. Helping the wine to enjoy it is better than nothing.

The atmosphere was strong in the Tang army's tent, and the generals had smiles on their faces.

Feng Li, the confidant general of Li Jiancheng, raised his glass and said, "Your Highness, the King of Hejian fought in this battle very beautifully. The Zhao army usually boasted about how good his soldiers were in battle, but when the King of Hejian fought, the Zhao army revealed its true colors."

Feng Li said this. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji both laughed.

Li Xiaogong's great victory really greatly boosted the morale of the Tang army.

Liu Hongji said: "I heard before that the Zhao army defeated the Khitan, the Turks, Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, and even Goguryeo. I was quite worried that Zhao Junrui would not be there. Today, the King of Hejian defeated the famous generals of the Zhao army, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji, which made me feel relieved."

Liu Dewei smiled and said, "That's not, what kind of winning streaks in a row? Because the Zhao army has not yet met our army, our army is truly invincible in the world."

All the generals said yes.

Feng Li said: "Now, we can just wait for the floating bridge to be built. Our army can cross the Yellow River. At that time, we will meet with the Hejian King's army at the foot of Luoyang City. Luoyang can be broken in less than a month. After capturing Luoyang, it will take less than three years. The overall situation in the world can be determined."

When the generals heard this, they nodded together, and Qu Tutong. Chai Shao and others were not Li Jiancheng, and there was no objection to Li Yuanji's confidant generals. Luoyang was of extraordinary significance to Li Tang.

At this moment, a general hurried into the tent. Seeing the general's face full of panic, all the generals knew that something was wrong and showed a look of concern.

The soldiers on the shield formation side had already retreated early.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"What's the matter? So panicked?" Li Jiancheng asked.

"pontoon!"

"Floating bridge?" Li Jiancheng suddenly asked, "What's wrong with the Floating Bridge?"

"The pontoon bridge was burned!"

As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone present was shocked.

With a loud bang, Li Yuanji waved his desk heavily, and all the wine pots and dishes were put on the ground.

Seeing Li Yuanji get so angry, the general was full of fear and his body trembled involuntarily. Li Yuanji shouted, "Your Highness, the prince, repeatedly reminded him to take care of the floating bridge, why was he still being ridden by Zhao's army?"

The soldier lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, it's not our fault. The Zhao army is too cunning. We all stared at the river, afraid that they would set fire to the bridge from the upstream, but they did not expect that they would send their soldiers to swim to the sandbank in the river and disguise themselves as our soldiers to set fire to the bridge."

"Bastard! What's the difference between this and being burned by a fireboat and a bridge is the same as being trapped." Li Jiancheng was furious.

"His highness calms down!" The general was frightened.

Qu Tutong asked on the side, "How long will it take to repair the floating bridge?"

The man said, "It will take at least two days!"

"Your Highness, the Zhao army's plan is nothing but two days late. It's only a matter of time before crossing the Yellow River. We still have this time."

"Yes, Your Highness, there is no need to be angry. The Zhao army can only use these tricks now. Once our army crosses the Yellow River, the Zhao army will have no strategy to use." Liu Hongji also said from the side.

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly when he heard this, his anger decreased a little, but he looked at the general and shouted: "The destruction of the floating bridge was because of your dereliction of duty. I dragged it out and beheaded! The head was hung in front of the camp gate to show the three armies."

"Your Highness, please spare your life!"

The general shouted loudly, but no one of the generals present dared to plead for him. The tigers and men in the tent dragged this person down alive.

Li Jiancheng looked at his left and right and shouted: "Who dares to do this again? This will also be the case!"

"promise!"

All the generals in the hall bowed their heads. Seeing this suppression, Li Jiancheng highlighted his power and nodded with satisfaction. As Qu Tutong said, the Zhao army burned the floating bridge to make his tricks succeed for a while. The current trend is still on his side, which cannot be changed.

"What are you panic? Keep singing and dancing!" Li Jiancheng showed off a hundred thousand soldiers outside the tent, and he was still lying high inside the tent.

All the generals were also in line with the situation, and they sat down together with Li Jiancheng.

But the singing and dancing here had just begun, and another general came into the tent and said, "Your Highness, there is an emergency military situation!"

As soon as the general entered the account, he lowered his head and did not dare to raise his head.

Li Jiancheng said: "I've been so excited that I've been wiped out. What's the matter?"

The general said: "The news came from Wangwu that the grain team led by General Qian Jiulong was robbed by the Zhao army, 5,000 soldiers and 20,000 civil servants were wiped out, and all tens of thousands of military rations were burned out!"

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, our army's rations were robbed by the Zhao army!"

After the words fell, there was no sound in the big tent.

"What should I do?" Li Jiancheng sat on the table with a thud. He turned his head and asked Qu Tutong: "General Qu Tu, what should I do below? Is there a chance to turn it around?"

Qu Tu Channel: "Your Highness, old minister..."

Speaking of this half, Qu Tutong was speechless.

Seeing Qu Tutong like this, Li Jiancheng looked at Liu Hongji and hurriedly said, "Liu Aiqing, you have always been resourceful, can you have a solution?"

Liu Hongji said: "Your Highness, the only way now is to stay on the south bank for the time being, temporarily hold off crossing the river, and wait for the subsequent arrival of food and grass."

"What do you mean is that our army can't cross the Yellow River south?"

Liu Hongji lowered his head and said, "Report to your highness, there is no better way. If you forcefully cross the Yellow River, you will have no food to eat and fall into the scene of the 300,000 Sui army conquering Goguryeo that year."
