Chapter 985: The Flood is coming
"The number is unknown." The soldier hurriedly shook his head and said, "There are a lot, it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 people." β
"So much!" There was a hint of excitement in Franco's expression. He squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that this should be their main force, and the monk just now must be their vanguard force." Since this is the case, then prepare to fight to the death with the other party, destroy their main force first, and advance towards Wuyue City. β
"Yes!" The soldier nodded immediately.
Soon, the army arrived at a pass in the mountains, from which the dust covered the sky and the sun and thousands of horses galloped. At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun did not rise, and there was a feeling of black pressure in the mountains. From a distance, it seems that you can feel that there are tens of thousands of horses running on the other side.
"Good fellows." Franco was shocked and said, "More than 20,000 people on horseback." β
"Young master, what should I do?" Kenyard asked hurriedly.
"Lay down and get ready to charge." Franco jumped out of the carriage and said, "Destroy the main forces of the other side first." β
"Yes!" Kenyard roared: "Array! β
Whoa......
Three thousand soldiers, armed with spears, formed a huge formation, which, on Franco's orders, advanced slowly. Slowly advancing into the valley. And it's not fast, it's not slow.
Yu Qiu stood on the top of the mountain, and could already see the opposing army's march towards the valley.
"General, here they are." The herald hurriedly shouted.
"Hmm." Yu Qiu nodded.
"General, it's time to give the order, let the soldiers in front open a ditch and release water." The herald immediately shouted, "Otherwise, it's too late." Once the other party sees through our acting skills, they will inevitably find out. β
Yu Qiu hesitated, looking at the three thousand soldiers who were galloping wildly below, could he really bear to exchange their lives for the lives of the other party's three thousand barbarians? Yu Qiu was entangled, hesitant, and hesitant. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really want to do this?" Is it really necessary to sacrifice these 3,000 soldiers? β
"General, these 3,000 people should be regarded as the sacrifice they have made for the safety of mankind." The soldier on the side hurriedly said: "If you don't give the order again, I'm afraid it'll be too late." β
"Let me think about it." Yu Qiu gritted his teeth and refused to give the order. Everyone has their own parents, their own siblings, relatives and friends. If they died like this, how sad would their families be?
"General, it's too late." The soldier shouted.
"Order, open the ditch!" Yu Qiu roared.
"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly picked up the signal flare on the side, a black bamboo tube, and immediately shot it into the sky. Then, this signal rose high into the air, and let out a sharp cry, and after a few hundred meters in the air, there was a crisp sound, and a huge firework exploded in the sky.
Seeing this, the soldiers who were waiting by the Mother River hurriedly ignited the burst charm, and then a muffled sound came from not far away.
"Strange, what the hell are these signals?" Franco listened curiously to the inexplicable sound and the inexplicable flare.
"Maybe they still have an ambush." Kenyard, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Human beings are like locusts, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of people in a city. Such a huge base is really terrifying. β
"No matter how many of them come, we don't have to be afraid." Franco snorted.
"Yes, young master!" Kenyard nodded hurriedly.
A huge formation of three thousand barbarians slowly advanced towards each other. Franco had even drawn the saber hanging from his waist. His eyes were already burning with intense anger, and the flames burned as if the enemy in front of him had reached the point where he had a grudge against him.
"Kenyard, you take a thousand men to outflank from the left, and I lead people to meet the enemy from the front." Franco immediately commanded.
"Yes, young master." Kenyard immediately led the men to outflank him from the left. At this time, they didn't realize that the other party was just a hoax. It's just that this scam will soon turn into a huge disaster. Moreover, this disaster could easily ruin them completely.
At this time, Franco was still immersed in the dream of capturing Wuyue City, how did he know that if he wanted to capture Wuyue City, it was simply impossible. Not to mention that Yu Qiu's pass can't pass, even if Yu Qiu's pass pass, there are tens of thousands of Wu Yue's soldiers and horses below. Those tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are definitely a hard bone for Franco. And it's a hard bone that he has to lose his teeth if he gnaws it down.
However, Franco soon found the clue, and when the sun rose in the east, he soon found that there were not tens of thousands of people at all, but only a few thousand. It's just that behind each of the other party's horses, there are even large and small branches tied, and when the horses gallop wildly, the smoke and dust cover the sky and the sun, making people mistakenly think that there are tens of thousands of horses.
"Strange, what does that mean?" Franco looked at the soldiers galloping not far away, puzzled. However, at this time, Kenyard had already outflanked the left, and he quickly discovered that something was wrong with the other party, looking at the strange soldiers on the other side, he was stunned, a little puzzled, and a little strange. Why did these soldiers, when they were full of food and have nothing to do, actually tied so many branches behind their horses?
Thundered......
At this moment, there was a tremor on the ground, and a loud sound was like a landslide cracking the ground. Franco was stunned: "What kind of sound is this?" β
"Young master, this must be the voice of the enemy's main force." The barbarian soldiers on the side hurriedly shouted: "The other side has thousands of soldiers and horses rushing towards this side, it must be the main force of the other side." β
"Is this just a faΓ§ade? Deliberately trick us into this valley and then lay siege to us with the main forces? Franco was stunned for a moment, and he sneered: "These despicable human beings think how smart they are, but they don't know that this is just a dirty practice. The roots don't do anything to us. Hum. It doesn't matter if they are coming in large forces or not. We just hold our ground. The order was given to let the troops be in the front line and turn around. β
"Yes!" The soldier immediately gave the order.
Subsequently, the troops were transferred, and then, the rear column was in the front, and the front line became the rear column. Two thousand barbarians reversed course.
At this time, the signal came again from the mountain. When the three thousand soldiers in the valley received the signal, they cut the rope behind the horse's buttocks with their broadswords, and then they galloped towards the barbarians.
"Here they come, here they come." At this point, Franco shouted.
"Prepare for battle!" The herald shouted.
And at this time, the roar is getting louder and louder. The galloping warriors had a fear of death in their eyes, and they were running wildly towards the valley, and at this time, they were really in a race against death. More than 3,000 horses rushed towards the mouth of the valley. After more than 3,000 people arrived at this opening, they abandoned their horses and ran wild without hesitation. Quickly climbed towards the top of the hill.
"It's strange that they don't fight us?" Franco was surprised again, he really couldn't figure out what these humans were doing. Why do you play yourself again and again?
"Young master, their main force is coming soon." The soldiers below shouted wildly.
At this time, the mouth of the valley had been blocked by three thousand war horses, and there was no way to rush out. This made Franco also puzzled, if the main force of the other party really came, it would be impossible for them to throw their horses at the opening, otherwise, how could the main force of the other party rush in? Franco immediately felt an eerie aura, as if death was hovering over his mind.
"That's not right." Franco hurriedly shook his head and said, "The other party must have a conspiracy, this is a premeditated murder." β
"Here we are." The barbarian soldiers clenched the spear in their huge hands and said coldly, "They're coming!" β
Franco squinted his eyes at the mouth of the valley, and he had a sense of foreboding. He felt that this kind of sound should not be the sound of human beings galloping, nor the sound of thousands of horses galloping, but a kind of ...... A very familiar sound.
"Water, yes, it's water!" Franco's eyes widened suddenly, and he said angrily: "Order, retreat immediately." β
Franco didn't pay any more attention to the mouth of the valley, but turned and ran, running towards the hill not far away. The other barbarian soldiers didn't react at all. Instead, he stood motionless.
Bang......
When the first wave of water rushed to the mouth of the valley, the force of the impact almost broke the surrounding trees. Moreover, the three thousand war horses were swept over in an instant. Then, a huge wave of water rushed into the mouth of the valley. This is not an ordinary wave of water, but a flood is coming. There was no room for these barbarians to escape.
"It's over, run!" At this time, when these barbarians saw the danger coming, they finally realized that it was not the main force of the human race, but the flood that was more ferocious than any beast of prey.
Three thousand men and horses galloped in both directions. However, a huge wave of one or two meters did not allow them to escape. A huge wave swept in, and their steps were immediately disrupted, and the huge wave made it impossible for them to move their feet. And he swept them over in the water on the spot. And just as they were about to get to their feet, a second wave swept over and caused them to tip over in the water on the spot.
A meter or two of water depth overwhelmed these barbarians in the blink of an eye. These perennial creatures who live in the Arctic wilderness don't know how to swim at all. One by one, they can only struggle in the water. More than 3,000 barbarians were immersed in the water, frantically struggling, wailing, and crying for help......
However, the flood was merciless, and in a flash, it completely submerged them, and the water became deeper and deeper, five meters, six meters......
