Of the ten warships led by Shi Gang, only three remained, and the seven sunk warships did not sink in vain.

They sank five warships of the Shun Kingdom. Judging from the number of warships sunk, Shi Gang lost, but Xu Fan's combat goal was not fully achieved. From this point of view, he did not win either.

Shi Gang is not worried about whether he can run out now, and do his best to obey the destiny. He is more concerned about the situation of the grain transport ship that left in advance.

It's a pity that the lake is not on the shore, and Shi Gang can't send scouts to inquire about information.

You need a boat to do anything on the lake, and you can't do anything without a boat!

Unless there are a few white stripes in the waves and dragons in the water, you can do things without a boat.

Shi Gang's subordinates definitely don't have white stripes in the waves, and not being drowned is already their greatest ability.

The reconnaissance ship had been sent out long ago, not to inquire about the situation of the grain transport ship, but to report the intelligence of their attack.

Shi Gang wasn't sure that the grain transport ship would be able to escape. He didn't know to what extent the Shenwuwei in Nanhu County was short of food, but it was definitely lacking.

If the grain transport ship could not deliver the grain to Nanhu County in time, then Dongting Lake would continue to transport grain to Nanhu County, and the Shenwuwei in Nanhu County would have to find a way to raise food and grass by themselves, otherwise the soldiers might starve.

Xu Fan pursued for another quarter of an hour. Both Shi Gang's and Xu Fan's soldiers were a little exhausted, but they all gritted their teeth and persisted.

The generals of both sides are also constantly encouraging the soldiers under them.

Shi Gang: "Persevere, the Shunchuan behind can no longer catch up, they have no strength, as long as we persist, the victory will be ours in the end!"

Xu Fan: "Everyone, work harder. We have been training for so long, and Liu Shuai has given us the greatest support. Now is the time to show our training results!"

 …

In this chase, Xu Fan is more anxious than Shi Gang.

The own warships chasing the grain ship had already set off for a long time, and it must be too late to chase them now.

So continuing to pursue Shi Gang was his last choice. As soon as Shi Gang was about to be wiped out, the reconnaissance ship of the Gan Army from Dongting County appeared.

Can Xu Fan be in a hurry?

Now another quarter of an hour has passed, who knows when the main force of the army will arrive?

Xu Fan wanted to row the boat himself to speed up.

The fighters on both sides are the elites of their respective countries, both have strong strength and willpower, and they are gritting their teeth to persevere now.

The more it is at this time, the more subtle differences will be reflected.

The Shenwuwei soldiers under Shi Gang's command are stronger in physical strength and endurance than the soldiers under Xu Fan's command.

Everyone's physical strength was exhausted, and the Shenwuwei soldiers obviously had more stamina than the Shunguo soldiers.

According to the current speed of the ship, it may take a long time for Xu Fan to catch up with Shi Gang.

Xu Fan had a premonition that he might not be able to accomplish his combat goal today.

The dry army of the grain transportation team was so resilient that even he could see that his soldiers were about to lose their strength.

Really catch up?

This was not only the doubt of the soldiers of the Shun Army, but also the doubt of Xu Fan.

If a general has doubts in his heart, then this battle will come to an end.

The return of a scout ship made Xu Fanxi make up his mind.

"Stop chasing, retreat! The reconnaissance ship is going to tell the ships that are chasing the grain carrier of the dry army to stop chasing and come back to join us!"

Xu Fan intends to end today's battle.

Whether it is to chase the grain ship or stay with him to fight with the soldiers, they are exhausted at this time, and another fierce battle is tantamount to fantasy.

People are made of flesh, not iron.

The news brought back by the reconnaissance ship was not good. They did not find the main fleet of the Qian army, but they found more warships of the Qian country.

More warships of the Qian State have appeared, but will the main force of the Qian State be far behind?

Xu Fan didn't want to gamble, nor did he dare to gamble.

He is now the most important support for Liu Jiwu's comeback, and he must not fall down.

It is better to let go of some soldiers than to let yourself fall into a dangerous situation.

Xu Fan is very aware of his status, to be precise, the status of the navy he leads.

"You are lucky, we will have many opportunities to meet on Dongting Lake in the future."

Xu Fan withdrew!

Yang Yuan wanted to join in the fun, but ended up saving Shi Gang's life.

Some grain ships were also rescued.

The general of the army who led the retreat of the grain transport ships found that they could not lead all the grain transport ships to Nanhu County, so he decisively ordered some of the grain transport ships to slow down the speed of the ships, and turned around to block the pursuers of Shunguo.

"You guys go first, I'll take someone to stop them, don't look back, go straight to Nanhu County, as long as you find the pier, you'll be safe!"

The generals of the Gan army knew that the Shun army did not dare to approach the shore, especially the pier. Xu Fan did indeed give orders to the pursuing Shun army not to approach the pier occupied by the Qian army.

The first rule Xu Fan set for himself was not to collide with the main force of the army before getting in touch with Liu Jiwu.

If Liu Jiwu hadn't predicted that Liu Jiwu would fight very hard in Nanhu County, Xu Fan would not have gone to the lake to intercept the dry army's grain ship immediately. He would definitely try to contact Liu Jiwu first, and then decide what to do.

But fortunately, the result was good. He really found the dry army grain transport fleet, and achieved good results.

Yang Yuan found Shi Gang, and together they came to the coast of Nanhu County to look for the remnants of the grain ship.

It was not until night that Yang Yuan and Shi Gang waited at a pier for the remnant of the grain transport ship found by the scout ship.

Only nine grain ships reached Nanhu County safely.

The other grain ships either sank or disappeared. Yang Yuan probably sank or was captured by Shun Guo. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The latter possibility is unlikely, but not impossible.

Yang Yuan has told all the soldiers of the Qian army more than once that there are very few generals who win on the battlefield, as long as they don't betray the intelligence of the Qian country, they can give up resistance and become prisoners.

It is also common for captured soldiers and generals to be traded among various countries in Zhongzhou, but the redemption price for different soldiers and generals is different.

This can be regarded as a rather special place in Zhongzhou. There is basically a lot of hatred between countries, but it is a bit magical that they can exchange prisoners.

"It doesn't matter if you are captured, you have to believe that we will win the final victory, and you will all return safely!"

This time Yang Yuan would not give up on those captured soldiers either, as for the food and grass taken away by the Shun army was no longer important.

The important thing is that the Shenwuwei in Nanhu County cannot be short of food.

So, Yang Yuan came.

As long as there is such a distance, the army will never be short of supplies.

"Go! Go find Zhao Long."

Yang Yuan recognized Zhao Long's achievements. Basically, he was able to beat Dongting Lake without his help, which is very good!

The key is that Zhao Long is not a general of the navy. If Yang Yuan had a commander of the navy, he would never be delayed by a Dongting Lake for so long.

Still have to explore the ancient battlefield!

Now it is important to replenish food for Zhao Long first, a clever woman cannot cook without rice, and a famous general cannot lead a group of hungry soldiers to fight continuously.

Yang Yuan came to Zhao Long's camp with the imperial guards, which surprised him a little.

"Why is the king here?"

Seeing Zhao Long with a surprised face, Yang Yuan laughed a few times.

"I'm here to solve your troubles!"

Zhao Long's eyes lit up when he heard the words, obviously he had the purpose of Yang Yuan's arrival.

I can only say one thing, Lord Bull B!
