The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 135: Reinforcements Arrive in Time

In the Battle of Honghe River at the border of Huizhou and Jingzhou, the Huai Army defeated the defeated rebel army all the way to the middle of the river.

Deputy General Shen Jian, who had already joined the Huai Army, knew the rebels' intentions. However, he did not believe they had any room for a counterattack, as he was well aware of their combat effectiveness. Moreover, with military supplies running low, he had no idea how they could turn the tide.

The Huai Army generals looked at the vulnerable rebels on the opposite side with pride. In their eyes, the rebels were the troublemakers in this melee. If they could kill them in one day, and with the help of Shen Jian, the Yizhou and Yanzhou cities that the rebels had previously recovered would return to the hands of King Huai.

Shen Jian came out of the hold and looked at the ship on the opposite side that was burning in flames. The soldiers on the ship jumped into the river to escape, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Huai Army general turned around and glanced at Shen Jian, with a little more appreciation in his eyes: "Yes, the King of Huai was right about him."

Shen Jian raised the corner of his mouth confidently. He did not regret joining the Huai Army. Anyone could see which side had the advantage in this chaotic situation.

In this world, only the Huai Army has the combat power to contend with multiple foreign enemies. In the face of power and future wealth, any friendship is not worth mentioning.

Lieutenant General Jiang noticed that the warship in front was on fire, and immediately ordered the soldiers who jumped into the water to escape to be pulled onto their ship. Even if he died in battle, he would never abandon any of the soldiers who fought alongside him.

Xiao Ce gritted his teeth as he commanded the battle, his heart already restless. Seeing his soldiers losing ground and suffering heavy casualties, he kept convincing himself to wait.

"Sir, the situation is not good. Let me cover you while you escape from the water in the rear cabin and rush back to Huizhou City." said Lieutenant General Jiang.

"No!" Unexpectedly, what he got was Xiao Ce's firm opposition: "I, Xiao Ce, am not a coward. Even if I die in battle, it will be a worthy death!"

"Everyone obey orders!"

The soldiers gritted their teeth and answered loudly, "Yes!"

"The mission of the rebel army is to fight for the safety of the people and for world peace!"

Following Xiao Ce's orders, the soldiers shouted loudly: "Fight for world peace!"

Immediately, they continued to engage in fierce fighting. When their cannons ran out, they used bows and arrows. If they had no bows and arrows, they would pull out the second-hand arrows shot by the enemy at their ship. As long as they had a breath left, they would not fall down and admit defeat.

call out!

Suddenly, a sharp arrow shot straight towards Xiao Ce's chest.

"Master, be careful!" Deputy General Jiang was quick-witted and quick-handed. He jumped up and pushed his master away, but was tragically shot in the back by an arrow.

"Deputy General Jiang!" Xiao Ce was shocked. He looked up and noticed the ship opposite. It was Shen Jian who shot the arrow.

Xiao Ce gritted his teeth and secretly hated Jiang. He ordered his soldiers to bring Lieutenant General Jiang into the cabin and pick up the bow and arrow on the ground. With resentment, he pulled the bow to full draw and fired.

Shen Jian was unable to dodge in time and was hit by the arrow in his arm, but the pain still made Shen Jian feel happy. He mocked Xiao Ce opposite him with a sinister look, as if he was laughing at his arrogance.

call out! !

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!

Suddenly, many arrows were thrown from the shore. Shen Jian and the Huai Army generals were shocked. Before they could see the situation on the shore clearly, dozens of figures with high martial arts skills suddenly flew over from the shore.

"Quick, shoot!" Shen Jian covered the wound on his arm and gave the order sternly.

However, as he shouted angrily, he felt a chill on his neck and blood spurted out like a fountain.

No matter how strong Shen Jian was, he was no match for Ming Yi's fighting power, let alone a bloodthirsty maniac obsessed with killing. Ming Yi turned over again, clamped his legs around Shen Jian's shoulders, and slashed at him again.

The Huai Army general had no time to draw his sword before a long sharp blade pierced his heart from behind. He took a breath in pain and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

This scene caused the soldiers on the Huai Army warships to panic, and then they heard murderous sounds coming from the shore.

"Soldiers, listen up! Take the heads of the Huai Army and leave no one alive!"

"Yes!"

“Kill~!!!”

The soldiers on the rebel warships recognized the soldiers on horseback on the shore and shouted excitedly: "Deputy General Zhou is here! Great! Reinforcements are coming!"

The moment Xiao Ce saw Zhou Chunfeng, the string that had been taut for a long time finally fell to the ground. He took a long breath and waved to his soldiers to bring the boat to the shore.

"Quick, get to the shore."

"Yes!"

Zhou Chunfeng had no time to get on the boat, and he commanded the battle side by side with Lieutenant General Xiao and Lieutenant General Qin on the shore.

The soldiers lit arrows tied with kerosene and shot down five or six large ships of the Huai Army.

The arrival of the reinforcements gave the rebels on the ship hope of survival, boosted their morale, and everyone became more alert. Some of them couldn't wait for the ship to dock, so they jumped into the water and swam to the shore, took the military supplies from their brothers and joined in.

Zhou Chunfeng was riding on horseback, watching Lieutenant General Xiao and Lieutenant General Qin jump onto the enemy ship. It was not that he didn't want to go into the water, but he was afraid of being embarrassed if he said it out loud.

Well, he doesn’t know how to do light work, and he can’t swim!

Ming Yi led more than 30 guards, killing boatloads of people. Even though their bodies were covered with scars, they were so addicted that they didn't feel any pain at all, only pleasure!

The moment the ship docked, Xiao Ce climbed ashore and looked at the figures climbing up and down the walls on the enemy ship, and couldn't help but feel dazed.

How could he not know that the rebel army under his command actually contained a group of soldiers with high martial arts skills? Could they be the knights who followed Zhou Chunfeng?

Without their generals, the Huai Army was quickly defeated. Some of them jumped into the water to escape, but they were all chased by arrows shot into the river. The entire river was filled with stunning crabapple flowers.

Screams and shouts pierced the silence of the flooded river. Although Zhou Chunfeng only brought 400 soldiers, combined with the remaining troops in Xiao Ce's hands, although they suffered heavy losses, they still managed to save the captured Huizhou.

This resistance battle was declared over in just one hour. Ming Yi led the guards ashore and came to Zhou Chunfeng: "Master!"

Xiao Ce: ...

Well, just as he guessed, Zhou Chunfeng had recruited a group of good soldiers.

Zhou Chunfeng dismounted from his horse and came to Xiao Ce's side. He said to the guards, "This is the leader of the rebel army. You can call him Master."

"Yes, sir!"

Xiao Ce didn't ask where Zhou Chunfeng got these useful men and horses, and nodded in appreciation: "Good!"

"Where is Lieutenant General Jiang?" Lieutenant General Qin looked around and couldn't help but wonder if Lieutenant General Jiang had also defected?

Xiao Ce quickly said, "Lieutenant General Jiang is seriously injured, and the military doctor is treating him in the cabin."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Generals Xiao and Qin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one defected. If there was another general who defected, the rebel army would have no chance of continuing the battle.

Zhou Chunfeng pulled out a medicine bottle from his bosom and handed it to Lieutenant General Xiao beside him: "Send it to the ship and have the military doctor give it to Lieutenant General Jiang."

"it is good."

Xiao Ce excitedly patted Zhou Chunfeng and Deputy General Qin on the shoulders and said, "Good brothers, today we are grateful for your timely help."

Zhou Chunfeng curled his lips and said, "Master, you are too kind. We still have a tough battle to fight next."

Xiao Ce understood what Zhou Chunfeng meant by a hard battle. It was indeed a hard battle!

"However," Zhou Chunfeng continued, "Let's ambush here. Maybe someone will deliver food to our door tonight."

Xiao Ce didn't understand why.

Zhou Chunfeng laughed and said, "Earlier, I had Ming Yi deliberately let two enemy lieutenants go. They must have returned to Jingzhou to seek reinforcements. Huizhou City is the territory of the Huai King. How could the Huai King watch his fiefdom disappear?"

"Hahaha~" Xiao Ce immediately understood and laughed out loud: "Good idea! Fight them separately, break them up and disable them, so that we can better deal with the next tough battle."

Zhou Chunfeng: "That's exactly the truth."

At this moment, Deputy General Qin admired Zhou Chunfeng's fighting spirit from the bottom of his heart. In the past, they really judged others by their own standards.

Such a talented person is a great blessing for their rebel army!
