The potter's sword was raised, and the order was handed down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the rear formation, a thick black wolf smoke rose into the air and rushed up to the nine days, "The whole army stopped retreating, and lined up for me to prepare to meet the enemy." When the potter saw that the fire had been released, he shouted again.

No matter how elite the soldiers are, in the case of defeat and retreat, the original indestructible fighting spirit will become extremely fragile, not to mention that a group of Tao soldiers and soldiers have fled for several miles in a row, and their fighting spirit has been greatly defeated.

These panicked soldiers did not expect that at this critical moment of retreat, the potters would actually stop them, and ask them, the panicked crowd, to regroup and prepare to meet the enemy again.

The enemy army is chasing menacingly, and there are many people, how can they resist it.

Yingbu and the other generals all looked shocked and looked at each other, their expressions were obviously amazed, why the always wise lord would go against the norm and make mistakes repeatedly.

But they forgot that their lord's favorite thing is to win by surprise.

Could it be that the lord has laid an ambush on the north bank?

In the minds of the generals, such a guess invariably emerged.

Time passed minute by minute, and half of the Jingzhou soldiers had crossed the river, but looking around, the terrain was flat, not to mention the ambush soldiers, even the reeds of the Tibetan people.

In other words, it is impossible for the potter to use the ambush strategy.

The generals were puzzled, and their mood became more and more anxious.

"Husband, if we let all the Jingzhou soldiers cross the river and form a formation on the north bank, the consequences will be unimaginable, it is better to take advantage of them halfway across and give them a hard blow, this is our last chance to stop the enemy."

Lu Lingji also knows some art of war and knows the truth of half-crossing attacks.

Yingbu shook his head and said: "This water system is very shallow, not even the paint cover, Cai Mao's kid is obviously on guard, you see that he crossed the river when the formation was not cracked, obviously to prevent us from half attacking it, the last general thinks that it is too late to attack now, it is better to retreat immediately." ”

Even Yingbu, who has always been brave, saw that the situation was unfavorable and proposed to retreat.

The potter smiled disapprerovingly, "They are all people who have seen the world, what are you anxious about, I said that I would give Cai Mao a meeting gift, you guys take a look at it patiently." ”

The pottery merchant's words were full of confidence, a calm and calm face, and he controlled everything, and Lu Lingji and the other generals had no choice but to temporarily suppress their anxiety.

Hundreds of steps in front, the banner of the word "Cai" flew proudly, Cai Mao has waded across the river and landed on the north bank of the river beach.

His left and right, nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, have also landed on the shore and are ready to wait.

Cai Mao did not rashly attack the Tao army that was arrayed again, but ordered to slow down the pace of advance, always be on alert, and wait for the follow-up more than 10,000 soldiers to go ashore, gather all the forces, and then launch an attack on the Tao army.

As soon as he looked up, Cai Mao saw that the more than 10,000 defeated soldiers of the pottery merchants had lined up two hundred steps away, putting on a posture of swearing not to retreat.

"Tao thief, my formation is not broken, your half-crossing attack has been broken, and you still haven't retreated, hmph, I think you are looking for death by yourself......" Cai Mao sneered secretly, and the murderous revenge in his eyes was wild.

At this time, Cai Mao seemed to have seen the annihilation of the pottery merchant's army, and saw the pottery merchant being trampled under his feet, killed with a knife, and the joy after revenge.

The revenge of killing my brother can finally be washed away today.

If the potter is defeated in a war, he Cai Mao will also be famous in the world today.

Just when he was proud, suddenly, there was a faint movement in his ears.

Cai Mao was slightly alert, her ears were erected, and she listened carefully, the strange sound was like a waterfall across the mountain, which was getting stronger and stronger from far to near.

"What sound?" Cai Mao's eyes were puzzled, and her heart suddenly became a little uneasy.

The sound seemed to come from the upper reaches of the water, and Cai Mao subconsciously raised her head and raised her eyes to look upstream.

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he almost exploded.

In his eyes, there was endless horror and endless fear, as if he saw the most terrifying situation in this world.

The smugness collapsed, the self-confidence collapsed, and Cai Mao's face was stunned and frightened for a moment.

As far as the eye could see, at the end of the upstream, a flood peak roared like a giant beast in the water, surging downstream.

Torrent!

More than 30,000 Jingzhou soldiers followed and saw the torrent falling from the sky, and the high morale collapsed in an instant, and the sense of discipline in their hearts disappeared.

Under the threat of nature's fierce beasts, the Jingzhou army could not care about the military order formation, they screamed one after another, dropped their weapons and flags, and fled to the shore desperately.

The more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers who had already landed were also frightened by the sudden torrent, and their spirits collapsed, and they scattered in all directions, fleeing with the high ground on the north bank, only to be swept away by the torrent that overflowed the riverbank.

The steel array of the Jingzhou army collapsed.

"How can this be, it's just summer, how can the water flood at this time?" Cai Mao was frightened and dazed, and instinctively followed the crowd and fled towards the heights.

Cai Mao was panicked, the Jingzhou army collapsed in shock, and even Wen Ping, the general of Jingbei in Jiuzhen, was also shocked and puzzled at this moment.

He was originally from Nanyang, and he could not understand the various water systems of Nanyang very well, knowing that in this season that had just entered the summer, there had never been a torrent in the water, and today's torrent was simply unprecedented.

Wen Ping's thoughts were tumbling like a tide, and his expression suddenly changed, "Could it be that he gave the upstream to ...... Such an incredible plan, he could even think of ......"

It's too late.

Just when Wen Ping was frightened by the conspiracy of the potter, the flood peak upstream had already swept in with the momentum of destruction and decay.

The chest-high torrent crashed into the river, and more than 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers were still fleeing.

Although the torrent was only chest-high, it carried the momentum of the upstream swoop, and in the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops were slapped into the water, and the turbulent water swept countless howling bodies, rushing towards the downstream and continuing to roll.

Screams, howls, and sounds for help came and went, but they were ruthlessly drowned in the sound of the waves.

The torrent came and went quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it overflowed in front of you.

The Jingzhou soldiers who didn't have time to escape to the north bank, more than 5,000 people were swept away directly, and the rest struggled and howled in the water, choking so much that they didn't even have the strength to stand up straight, let alone fight again.

On the north shore, the Jingzhou army, which was lucky enough to escape the torrent, scattered on the shore, looking at the comrades who had suffered miserably, all stunned and depressed.

The seemingly indestructible Jingzhou military array was shattered by the power of nature with one blow.

Cai Mao was stunned, looking at his collapsed soldier in horror, with endless panic on his face, and with such an expression, he seemed to be unable to accept this cruel truth, thinking that his eyes were wrong.

The Jingzhou army was frightened, and further away, the soldiers of the Tao army, who had witnessed the good show of flooding the enemy soldiers, were also stunned.

The stunned generals finally suddenly realized the intention of the potter.

It turned out that their lord made a series of actions that seemed to violate the art of war, just to lure the Jingzhou soldiers here, so that they could cross the river boldly with confidence, and then use the torrent to break the enemy army effortlessly.

Lu Lingji and the others wanted to understand the strangeness of the potter's previous actions, but they couldn't figure out where this torrent came from.

"Husband, do you actually understand the celestial phenomena, and you will have a torrent today?" In Lu Lingji's eyes and tone, there was not only amazement, but also deep worship.

Since ancient times, those who can recognize the heavens have been regarded as strange people who can communicate with heaven and earth, and have been worshiped as gods.

The potter could actually predict when the torrent would happen, how could such a miraculous judgment not make Lu Lingji bow and worship.

Lu Lingji was amazed inexplicably, and Yingbu and other generals were all shocked and shocked, and a pair of unbelievable eyes looked at the potter.

The potter only smiled faintly, "In the world, where can there be any people who understand the heavens, have you forgotten the wolf smoke and fire I lit just now?" ”

The potter's sword, pointing in the direction of the northwest upstream, pointed lightly.

The purpose of everyone was to look in the direction of the upstream, and they suddenly remembered that before the war, the lord seemed to have sent Fan Hao and Chen Ping to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to the upstream in advance.

pondering the strangeness of it, the generals suddenly looked uplifted, but they woke up as if they were in a dream.

"Husband, didn't you send Fan Hao and Chen Ping to build a dam on the upstream river overnight, and just then sent a signal to them to dig the dam, so they created a torrent?" Lu Lingji was also smart, and finally guessed the potter's plan.

The potter smiled, acquiescing to her guess.

Last night, the potters secretly ordered Fan Hao and Chen Ping to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the upper reaches of the river in advance, and block the water flow with mud bags, so that the water level that was originally waist-high was reduced to only knee-high.

Therefore, today Cai Mao will see a river that is only knee-high, and he thinks that the water is shallow, so he wades across the river with the potter.

The potters signaled wolf smoke, and when they were halfway crossed, they ordered them to open the mud bags and create a torrent to crush the enemy.

This is also the potter's luck, the water is not a big water system, and now it has just entered the summer, and it has not yet reached the real heavy rain season, so he can use mud bags to intercept the water flow, if this is guarded for a few more months, he can't intercept it if he wants to.

This is exactly what Chen Ping offered to the potter that night, the first of the two ways to retreat from the enemy.

When Lu Lingji and the others finally understood, they all marveled at the potters with unprecedented amazement, marveling at the potters' ability to use the right time and place to such an extreme.

"Look, I said don't worry, our husband always has a way that others can't think of." Hua Mulan glanced at Lu Lingji with a smile and said proudly.

"It's all the old drunkard's trick." The potter did not rob Chen Ping of the credit, and frankly told the truth.

Then, with his gaze as sharp as an eagle, he shot towards the defeated army of Jingzhou in chaos, two hundred paces away.

Just a moment ago, they were arrogantly chasing after them, and in the blink of an eye, they had fallen apart, and before they could fight, they lost 10,000 soldiers and fell into chaos.

On the potter's face, there was a cold murderous aura, like a raging fire, and the emotions of the soldiers were also completely mobilized, and their blood was boiling.

The pottery merchant took a deep breath, and the war knife pointed angrily, "The whole army is attacking, let the people of Jingzhou know the power of my Tao family's army, kill me!" ”
