I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

"My Lord, the brothers who went to seize the ferry are back."

At this time, a middle-level non-commissioned officer under Lin Fan came up and said to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan took a look and then asked, "How is it, has the ferry been taken down?"

The man nodded, but his expression was still a little bad.

Lin Fan understood instantly that although he had taken over the ferry, something must have happened in the middle. If nothing had happened, why would he have such a look of as if he had eaten a dead fly?

Lin Fan asked, "What happened? Tell me the truth."

The man did not hesitate and told the situation at the ferry.

"The ferry has been taken, and there are no casualties among the brothers."

At this moment, Lin Fan was a little puzzled. The ferry had clearly been taken over, and his men had not suffered too many casualties. So why did he look so unhappy?

"Go on." Lin Fan said.

"The boats in the ferry are gone. Now there are only a few small boats. All the big ships are gone."

Lin Fan frowned after listening to this. If he had a boat, he could send people to attack other cities by water. But now the boat is gone, and only some small boats are left. It is really impossible for these small boats to pass through the waves.

Moreover, the small boat can't carry many people. Lin Fan has so many people under his command now. If he uses a small boat to ferry people, how long will it take?

However, this is not a particularly serious matter for Lin Fan, because although the boat is gone, the ferry is still there. At that time, he can mobilize warships from Daliang and attack by water.

"Let it go. Send someone by water to tell the people in the factory to rush to send a batch of equipment over. We have too few usable equipment on hand now. It's not enough to attack and take down a city." Lin Fan said.

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Lin Fan has always been particular about firepower coverage, just to reduce the number of deaths among his men. Of course, this tactic is extremely useful, but it consumes too much of Lin Fan's artillery shells and other items, resulting in all the artillery shells that Lin Fan brought with him, even though they were replenished once in the middle, being used up now.

So they could only send someone to urge the next batch of supplies. Before they knew it, Lin Fan fell asleep in the chair.

Lin Fan was indeed a little tired these days, and after a fierce battle last night, Lin Fan's fatigue had reached the extreme, so he fell into a deep sleep while sitting on the chair.

After Huangfu Qi left Lin Fan, he went straight to the military camp.

In fact, Huangfu Qi felt a little regretful the moment he came out, because Huangfu Qi did not ask Lin Fan for the token. He went alone to ask for his soldiers. Would they really give it to him?

But at this time he had already walked out, and it was really hard for him to go to Lin Fan to ask for the token, so Huangfu Qi could only bite the bullet and walk to the gate of the military camp alone.

However, when Huangfu Qi arrived at the gate of the military camp, no one stopped her, and many soldiers even greeted her.

"General Huangfu is here. General Huangfu, are you going to take your men away?" one of the soldiers asked with a smile.

Huangfu Qi nodded and said awkwardly, "Yes, your Lord asked me to take people away, but I don't have your Lord's token in my hand. Can you make an exception?"

Huangfu Qi thought he would be harassed, but in fact, it was the opposite. The soldier immediately said, "General Huangfu, just take your men away. As long as you don't cause trouble in the city, we won't care."

Huangfu Qi was a little surprised. Aren’t they afraid that he was here to deceive them?

The soldier saw Huangfu Qi's expression and guessed what Huangfu Qi was thinking, so he immediately explained: "General Huangfu, just take the people with you. Our Lord has ordered us to release them immediately as long as General Huangfu comes with the people."

Huangfu Qi couldn't help but admire Lin Fan's broad-mindedness. He was Lin Fan's enemy, but Lin Fan seemed to have no defenses at all, and there were not even any secret sentries around. If I took people to cause trouble in the city now, even if I couldn't capture Minjiang Pass, I could still make Lin Fan's army see blood.

But Lin Fan just let himself take people away without even needing a token. Is this Lin Fan?

No one knew what Huangfu Qi was thinking, and he didn't even know how he got into the military camp.

"General, why are you here? Didn't you rush out and get caught by them?"

"Oh, it's all our fault for being so stupid. We never expected that the people in the city would turn against us. They are all ungrateful bastards!"

"..."

Huangfu Qi's thoughts were interrupted by her subordinates. When she came to her senses, she found herself standing in front of her subordinates.

"Come with me." Huangfu Qi said lightly.

"Huh? Where are we going?"

"You are stupid. The general is definitely going to lead us out. The general must have sneaked in. I know the general will not give up on us."

"So that's how it is. I knew the general wouldn't let us be prisoners."

"..."

The soldiers seemed very happy. After all, if they could do it again, who would be willing to be a prisoner?

But Huangfu Qi shook his head, but did not explain, and just left with his men.

After leaving the military camp, the soldiers under Huangfu Qi saw the soldiers guarding the camp outside and subconsciously wanted to take action, but were stopped by Huangfu Qi.

Although they didn't understand at all, they still didn't do anything.

When they left Minjiang Pass, they found that no one from Daliang along the way tried to stop them, as if they could not see them.

This made them very confused, but Huangfu Qi did not explain, so they could only walk back in a daze until they returned to Sanguan County.

The armor and weapons on them were taken away by Lin Fan. Lin Fan was not magnanimous enough to send the enemies back intact. As for those armor and weapons, just consider them as the interest for Lin Fan looking after them for one night.

After Huangfu Qi returned to Sanguan County, he took new armor from the warehouse and gave it to the soldiers, and then tried every means to restore their morale.

The situation in Yangcheng was not good. After Huangfu Pengwu discovered that the people in Yangcheng were not Lin Fan's people at all, he started to attack directly.

For a time, the Iron Hat King was defeated step by step.

Several times, the Iron Hat King and Lin Rui were nearly captured alive by Huangfu Pengwu, but because Qin Shian was by the side of the Iron Hat King and Lin Rui, Huangfu Pengwu failed.

But the Iron Hat King and Lin Rui could no longer hold on and were forced to retreat hundreds of miles by Huangfu Pengwu.

"Your Majesty, if we continue to fight, we will definitely be wiped out. Let's retreat!"
