Chapter 18

On the side of the Han River, countless rebel troops rushed into the river with bamboo tubes in their arms. If they were a little slower, they would be cut down and overturned on the beach by the Ming army.

The river along the bank was red with blood. Countless people thanked Qin Huan for the bamboo tube prepared in advance, but the officers and soldiers who chased them were stupid

The leader of Qin, who was preparing for a rainy day, finally came ashore wet all over. He pretended to fall on the beach and didn't move.

Other teenagers were no better, but Qin Huan and his team were the first to escape to the other side.

After resting for more than half an hour, Qin Yu got up and walked towards the city with his disabled and defeated generals.

The shore was only ten miles away from the valley city. Li Dingguo found Qin Huan and others who came back from a long distance. He was stunned and quickly opened the city gate and rushed out.

"Xiao Yu, why did you come back so embarrassed?"

"What about the adoptive father and eldest brother?"

At the moment, Qin Huan was shirtless and wearing shorts. Many people were scarred and their hair was scattered into a chicken nest. Fortunately, Li Dingguo recognized Qin Huan at a glance.

"Oh, haven't they come back yet?"

There was a trace of schadenfreude in the accident.

"What the hell is going on? Have you lost the battle? "

"Do you still need to ask? It's more than just losing the fucking battle. It's like being killed everywhere and your ass pees. "

Qin Huan gnashed his teeth. If the eight kings didn't listen to his advice, would they be like this?

Fifty spears were lost cleanly. Even the cannon of the assassin's mace was cheaper. Fortunately, only a hundred kilograms of gunpowder were brought.

"We have more than 30000 troops, and there are only 10000 left thieves. How did we lose?"

"I don't know how I lost. Anyway, in the blink of an eye, I was defeated like a mountain. If I hadn't left a lot of bamboo by the Han River in advance, I would never come back this time."

Qin Huan didn't have a good airway.

Seeing that he could not ask anything, and seeing that they were tired into dogs one by one, Li Dingguo had to ask someone to take them to rest first, and then send someone to the shore to gather the defeated soldiers.

Qin Huan also took the two hundred years back to the yard. As soon as they entered the yard, they all collapsed under the eaves. The 20 teenagers left behind and their mother and daughter looked at each other.

"Childe, what are you doing?"

"Help me back to my room and I'll talk to you later."

Qin Huan waved his hand. The mother and daughter quickly helped him into the house and then lay straight on the bed.

Seeing that there were wounds on his hands and feet, Mrs. Li quickly searched the room for herbs.

"Brother Xiaoyu, have you been defeated by the army?"

"Why, you want us to be defeated by the army, don't you?"

Qin Huan saw that she was very happy, and the evil fire suddenly burst out. He sat up and shouted, "eat and drink from me, and curse us to die, right?

You think that Zuo Liangyu called, you can have a good life?

I tell you, the end is worse than falling into the hands of the eighth king. "

"Sobbing..." Li Waner shook her head desperately.

"Childe, Wan'er, that's not what she meant..."

"All right!"

Qin Huan waved impatiently and was too lazy to argue with the 12-year-old girl. He lay back in bed again.

Neither mother nor daughter dared to speak again. They hugged each other from a distance. Mrs. Li kept whispering to comfort her frightened daughter.

After comforting her daughter, she found a broken palm leaf fan, came to the bed, sat down and gently fanned it.

Qin Huan had narrowly escaped death for a day. Now he returned to the comfortable bed. His whole body and mind were relaxed. Someone fanned the wind to drive away mosquitoes. Qin Huan almost cried out comfortably and soon fell asleep.

After that, Qin Yu slept until it was dark. Until Li Dingguo sent someone to invite him, Qin Yu got up, changed his clothes and went to the county government.

When they came to the county yamen, Zhang Xianzhong and a group of leaders had returned. Although there were many people, many of them were stained with blood and injuries. It was obvious that they had just returned.

"King, brothers, you're back at last. I'm so worried

Young general, is your hand... Badly hurt? Don't worry? "

"Can't die!"

Seeing that Qin Huan's skin had not fallen off and he was still hypocritical, sun expected to snort coldly, and his nostrils gushed thick air.

"Well, although we lost the battle this time, we all came back safely. Xiaoyu, thanks to the bamboo you prepared in advance."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded at Qin Huan, and the other leaders also gave a grateful look.

"Your Majesty, how about the losses of each battalion?" After Qin Huan sat down, he was concerned about the strength of the rebel army.

"There are still more than 1000 elite in each battalion, and more than 10000 young people have returned. Some of them should come back in the past two days, but they have lost 7788 weapons."

Li Dingguo explained that when they heard this, they all hung their heads like the defeated rooster.

"Boy, I heard that only three people died in your firearm camp. Did you run away before the fight began?"

Qin Huan was so angry that he pointed to sun Wang and scolded: "don't you fart. Don't you hear my cannon ringing all the time on the battlefield?

When I react, the army will be defeated. If I hadn't been fast, I would have told him on the mountain bag... "

"Hum, you're the first one to escape back to the city. I can't ride as fast as you. What's your explanation?"

Sun could not help but stand up and try to kill Qin Huan with a knife.

"What's the explanation? You have a big horse riding target and wear armor. Naturally, you are the key target of the left thief. My position is relatively biased, so there is no delay. "

"Enough!"

Sun expected to say again, but Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand. When he retreated, he did hear the cannon still ringing.

"This is not the time to investigate these. Now the left thieves will cross the river at any time, and the officials and troops in Yunyang and Xiangyang will arrive soon. Let's talk about what to do!"

"Your Majesty, we suffered heavy losses in this war and the morale of our brothers is very low. In my opinion, we'd better withdraw before the officers and soldiers arrive."

"Yes, in case of being surrounded by the government and army, you can't go away. I think you might as well go tonight."

"But the officers and soldiers occupy the main road. If we want to go, we can only take the small road. What about so many food animals? And the wheat on the south bank? "

"Keep the green mountains. I'm not afraid there's no firewood. Those things are farts!"

For a time, the leaders in the lobby quarreled, and most of them agreed to leave immediately.

Obviously, Zuo Liangyu was really afraid of being killed this time, which made a psychological shadow.

Zhang Xianzhong frowned. Seeing Qin Huan sitting in the corner, he kept silent and asked, "Xiao Yu, why don't you talk? Tell me, is it better to stay in the county or go? "
