"Ah......" Li Shimin suddenly woke up from his sleep, in the dream he ate the fish given by the old dragon king of Jinghe, and felt that it was difficult to breathe, but he was extremely shocked to find that he was soaked in the water! Just as he was about to summon his own soldiers to ask what was going on, the curtain was suddenly lifted.

Immediately, the pro-military captain rushed in with a panicked expression, and said miserably: "Your Highness, we are flooded. There is water everywhere. ”

"Ah, this?" Li Shimin's heart sank, and he rushed out of the big tent before he could put it on.

Out of the big tent, Li Shimin grabbed a torch and burned it around, only to see a vast water surface all around, and at this moment, the water level did not reach the knee from the ankle just now, and the water level was still rising sharply at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Judging from the sudden rise in the water level, the Beizhen Army should have broken the embankment of Zhushui and the Beihe River at the same time, and even set up a dam upstream in advance, so that there is such a large amount of water and it rises so fast.

Li Shimin's first reaction was that the patrol cavalry sent by him was ambushed by the Beizhen Army, and only in this way could the Beizhen Army silently dig the embankment and release water. However, Li Shimin soon felt that something was wrong, Zhai Changsun reported back two hours ago, saying that everything was as usual, and it was impossible for the Beizhen Army to dig the embankment in such a short time. The only possibility is that the Beizhen Army is digging fifteen miles away.

It's just that.

The Beizhen Army is also in Valley City! Do they really plan to burn all the jade?

At this moment, Li Shimin even regretted his intestines, he knew that he should send more cavalry, expand the patrol range, and control the rivers of hundreds of miles near and far, but the incident has already happened, and it is too late to regret it now.

Li Shimin sighed: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and he must make a mistake......

"Your Highness, the water level has risen sharply, let's leave quickly!"

The pro-military captain said with a miserable expression, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!" ”

When Li Shimin looked down, he saw that the water level was no longer above his knees and above his thighs, and said miserably: "Order, let the whole army evacuate to the southwest, quickly!" ”

It's just that at this time, the entire Tang army camp was in chaos, except for the pro-army camp that closely guarded Li Shimin and could still maintain calm, the other armies were completely chaotic, and tens of thousands of Tang army officers and soldiers were running around like headless flies in the stagnant water.

Li Shimin was so anxious that he yelled again and again, trying to stop the chaos from spreading. However, his efforts were in vain, even if he beheaded several people in a row, he could not stop the spread of chaos, and in the end, even his own soldiers showed signs of instability, and Li Shimin was finally forced to accept the reality, and he was no longer able to effectively control this army.

"Let's go." Li Shimin looked hideous and rushed to the southwest with his own soldiers.

I don't know how far I walked, the water level gradually reached the waist, but the water level reached this point, people walked very hard, just when Li Shimin thought that he would die, but found that the water level had fallen, but he soon found that it was not the water level that was falling, but the terrain under his feet was increasing!

Li Shimin climbed up to the high ground with a roll, and when he looked back, there were less than 200 people behind him, and it was estimated that the rest of the soldiers were either drowned or lost.

Because Cheng Yanjin and Gao Yan released water at the time of Mao, that is, 5-7 o'clock in later generations, and the early dawn in summer, Li Shimin stayed in the high place for less than half an hour, and the sky gradually brightened.

Li Shimin looked at it by the faint dawn, only to see that the front had changed into a Zeguo, the affected area was estimated to be hundreds of miles wide, and the endless Tang army camps were all gone, only a lookout tower spire and flagpole were exposed to the water, and the faintly visible Gucheng city wall was also flooded for most of it!

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin fell into an ice cellar, and his body was cold: the water is so deep, how can the Tang soldiers be lucky?

Thinking back to yesterday, he said in high spirits outside the city that Dugu Yanyun had no ability to make decisions, and he was full of thought that he could wipe out the Beizhen Army in one fell swoop. However, overnight, the situation changed, and 90,000 Tang soldiers were all buried in the belly of the fish! Thinking of this, Li Shimin was discouraged, pulled out his sword and wiped it off his neck.

"Your Highness, no." The soldiers pounced on Li Shimin and held Li Shimin to death.

"There are only more than 100 people left in the 90,000 army overnight, what face does I, Li Shimin, have to go back to see my father?" Li Shimin lamented that in addition to soldiers, this army also has many royal clansmen, and many generals and strategists, these people are the mainstay of the Tang army, but now they are all buried in the belly of the fish, and the loss of these military talents is undoubtedly the most fatal for the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Highness, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, as long as Your Highness is still there, you can make a comeback one day. If His Highness kills himself, he will never be able to wash away the shame of today. ”

"Your Highness, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Datang! If you're gone, what will Datang do? What about the Sui Dynasty? ”

“……”

The pro-soldiers persuaded hard.

Li Shimin was speechless for a long time, and his own soldiers took the opportunity to snatch his sword.

At this time, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted: "Your Highness, there is an island over there, and there are people on it. ”

Only then did Li Shimin discover that there were countless scattered "isolated islands" scattered on the endless water surface, which were originally some hills, but now the entire Gucheng County has been flooded, and these hills have become "isolated islands" in Zeguo. The nearest island was only a few feet in size, but it was crowded with more than 100 people.

Li Shimin's heart was pounding, there were so many isolated islands, which showed that his army was not completely annihilated, and if it was collected one by one, there might still be tens of thousands of people.

He looked around and found that behind his group was a stretch of mountains, not an island, in addition to trees, there were also bamboos, so he quickly ordered: "Quick, let's cut down bamboo together and build bamboo rafts to save people!" ”

"Whoa!" The soldiers went as ordered.

。。。。。。。。。。

In the valley city, the soldiers of the Beizhen Army took bamboo rafts and stood by.

Although Su Dingfang had been mentally prepared, he was still surprised when he saw the flood that almost flooded most of the city wall. And these stagnant waters caused the four gates to not open, so that they could not get out of the city. The only resort was to find a section of the heavily damaged city wall and break out of it.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at Zeguo outside the city, Su Dingfang's mood was a little heavy.

The river flooded, and it was not only the Tang Army that was affected, but also the people of Gucheng County, although because of the Beizhen Army, there were no people in the city, but these people finally hid in the mountains and forests, and the flood swept away, how could these people escape?

Dugu Yanyun was very excited and said loudly: "Hahaha, what can Li Shimin and Dou Cong do if they are born as generals?" When they met a general, didn't nearly 100,000 troops also die in the belly of the fish? Ha ha...... It's so exciting! ”

As he spoke, the city wall had been broken, and the generals of the Beizhen Army led their headquarters to go out of the city one after another to hunt the Tang army on the 'isolated island'.

When Dugu Yanyun was also about to lead the army out of the city, Su Dingfang said: "General Dugu, you don't have to chase and kill the remnants of the Tang Army. ”

"There is a sea of water inside and outside the city, what can the last general do?" Dugu Yanyun asked blankly.

Su Dingfang pointed to some sacks floating on the water outside the city and said: "Those sacks should be the military rations of the Tang Army, although these military rations are soaked in water, as long as they are cooked and fried, they can still be eaten." We have an army of more than 20,000 people, and we need a lot of food. ”

"Whoa." Dugu Yanyun took the order and left.

。。。。。。

When the Beizhen army went out of the city to chase and kill the remnants of the Tang army, Li Shimin's personal soldiers had already set up a few bamboo rafts, first picked up the closest soldiers ashore, and then let a small number of people go to save people, and the rest cut bamboo rafts together, and soon there were more than 20 of them, and the soldiers from the surrounding islands were picked up one by one, and there were more and more people, and there were more and more rafts.

Li Shimin was about to continue to send people to search and rescue, but more than a dozen pieces of wood floated on the surface of the water, and more than a dozen heads were in the water, which looked very funny and funny, but Li Shimin obviously couldn't laugh, and urgently ordered the soldiers to rescue those people on a bamboo raft, but it was Yin Kaishan and more than a dozen of his own soldiers.

When Yin Kaishan saw Li Shimin, he was surprised and delighted, and when he saw the Tang Army soldiers with less than 1,000 people, he couldn't help but feel sad and asked: "Your Highness, there are only so many people left in the more than 90,000 Tang Army?" ”

"These are the ones I collected from a nearby island." Li Shimin said sadly: "But there are still many isolated islands in the water, if they are collected one by one, there may be tens of thousands of people left." ”

The word 'bar' explains Li Shimin's mood of suffering from gains and losses. He was in his sleep, the water suddenly surged, and before he had time to react, it had already spread to his thighs, he could stay awake, but the soldiers couldn't, under the random scratching and touching, he would only fall deeper and deeper, and this ocean stretched for hundreds of miles, even if everyone was a good swimmer, he didn't have the physical strength to swim out of the range of a hundred miles.

His side is not bad, Dou Cong and Li Xianzhi, who camped outside the east gate and north gate of Gucheng, are on a lower terrain and very close to Hanshui, I am afraid that there is no reaction, so they were washed into the mighty Hanshui, and when they arrived at Hanshui, absolutely no one survived.

"Your Highness, look, it's a soldier of the Beizhen Army."

"It's really the soldiers of the Beizhen Army, they are chasing and killing our soldiers."

“……”

Li Shimin went with the prestige, only to see thousands of soldiers of the Beizhen Army holding hundreds of bamboo rafts to come and shoot arrows at the Tang soldiers on the isolated island, these soldiers lost their weapons when they struggled in the water, and each isolated island was densely crowded, the soldiers of the Beizhen Army did not need to aim, they just shot the Tang army, and when they put down one isolated island, they killed the other.

The soldiers of the Beizhen Army on the bamboo raft also seemed to have discovered them, and they no longer paid attention to the remnants of the island soldiers of the 'turtle in the urn', and killed them one after another.

At this time, Li Shimin finally understood.

The Beizhen Army obviously used itself as bait to lure the 90,000 Tang troops out of the city as they wished, and then wiped them out with a big flood.

"Hehe, I also said last night, 'Dugu Yanyun has no decisive ability, and defending the Jedi is the way to self-destruction'. Now, I'm a complete fool, and I won't fight at all......," Li Shimin fell into serious self-doubt.

"Your Highness, they have discovered us, let's get out of danger first, otherwise we won't be able to leave." Yin Kaishan rushed road.

"Let's go, then."

Li Shimin knew that he couldn't save the remnants of the isolated island, and if he didn't leave, his remnants of the army that had lost their armor and abandoned their armor would have to finish playing, and immediately led the remnants of less than 1,000 people to Changping County.

A group of people fled ten miles in embarrassment, Li Shimin looked at the low hills around him, and suddenly laughed: "Hahahahaha......"

"Why is Your Highness laughing?" Yin Kaishan asked with a puzzled face, it's all like this, what's so funny? Could it be that it is too much more impossible and crazy?

Li Shimin seemed to be out of breath, and after laughing, he crossed his waist with one hand, pointed to the mountains around him with the other, and said with a breathless smile: "I laugh at Dugu Yanyun for being stupid and unscrupulous." ”

Speaking of this, he pointed around and continued to smile: "Gucheng flooded into Zeguo, this is the only way for our army to escape, if I am Dugu Yanyun, I will let the soldiers who broke the embankment complete the task, and go to this ambush first." If an army is placed here, we should do everything we can here. Hahahaha......"

"Kill."

At this time, a cavalry swept in from the northwest.

Headed by Cheng Biting Jin, who decided to build the water, he led the cavalry to the south, who thought that the water was too big, not a single soldier encountered, but he was unwilling to be in vain, so he ran along the official road, who would have thought to meet nearly a thousand Tang troops.

He knew that the Tang Army died and fled, and those who had the prestige to gather so many people must be important figures in the Tang Army. is either Li Shimin, or an important figure in the army,

"Soldiers, don't be in a daze, follow me to meet the enemy." Li Shimin, whose face was ugly, commanded the soldiers to meet the enemy.

"Your Highness, we don't have weapons...... "The empty-handed soldier looked at Li Shimin speechlessly.

"Uh......" Li Shimin was stunned.

"Your Highness, take refuge in the woods." Yin Kaishan rushed road.

"Everyone scattered and fled for their lives and went to Xiangyang to concentrate." Li Shimin gave the order with tears in his eyes.

"Whoa."

The soldiers scattered and fled.

Li Shimin and Yin Kaishan only ran a few hundred steps before they heard the horses' hooves rumbling behind them, and one of them scolded: "Dog thief, Lao Tzu told you to stop, didn't you hear it?" ”

As soon as Li Shimin turned around, he found that an enemy general with hundreds of cavalry had appeared beside him, looking at the two of them one by one.

This general was none other than Cheng Yanjin, he stepped forward, grabbed the back of Li Shimin's neck, and lifted him up like a chicken.

Li Shimin was suddenly frightened, he used to be a popular figure of the Guanlong nobles, and most of the children of the Guanlong nobles knew him, but this time it was difficult to fly. And more than a dozen pro-soldiers on both sides were also taken aback, they were separated by the cavalry, and it was too late to rush up to protect Li Shimin.

"It's a little white face, damn it, why are you so beautiful?" Most of the generals under Yang Tong are handsome and handsome, such as Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, Shen Guang, Xie Yingdeng, and the Xue brothers...... Only he Lao Cheng and Wei Chigong are more cold-looking, and Lao Cheng is so jealous of those generals with extraordinary bearing that he can't wait to fan their faces into pigs' heads.

Now seeing that a deserter from the Tang Army dared to be more handsome than himself, he suddenly soured up, and in a fit of anger......, he slapped Li Shimin's handsome face into a pig's head, and then he was satisfied and threw him to the ground.

Li Shimin was slapped with gold stars, but when he found out that the general of the Beizhen Army didn't know him, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and he begged: "The villain is just a small soldier, and there is still an old lady at home, please spare my life." ”

Cheng Yanjin heard this, his expression was softened, he was an extremely filial person, he saw that this little white face was wet, not even armor, and there was an old lady at home, so he said: "I won't kill you, you tell me, where is Li Shimin?" ”

Li Shimin's heart tightened, thinking that the other party knew that he was still alive, and hurriedly said: "He and Yin Kaishan have fled into the mountains." ”

Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, as if he saw the Duke of the Kingdom beckoning to him from afar, and he didn't care about Li Shimin, so he turned around and ordered urgently: "Li Shimin has fled into the mountains, brothers will chase me." ”

He turned his horse's head and walked away, and the group roared away.

"Your Highness......" At this time, Yin Kaishan and more than a dozen personal guards stepped forward and helped Li Shimin up from the ground.

"Haha, this person is so stupid, he doesn't even know me?" Li Shimin rubbed his unusually painful face, only feeling a hot pain. He's grown so big that he's only been slapped twice; Once when I went to Zhuojun to grab talents, I was sheathed by Yang Tong, and then lost a front tooth, this time it was even worse, I was slapped back and forth more than a dozen times, and several teeth were lost.

"Your Highness, don't laugh, it will be miserable if you laugh at the ambush soldiers again."

Li Shimin: "......"
