Xiaoshui!

Since ancient times, it has been the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River in Chudi, and it is also the largest tributary of the Xiangjiang River. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info ancient name Shenshui, also known as camp water. It was renamed Xiaoshui after the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Xiaoshui is named because of its clear water flow and deep green Jiao. "Water Jing Note, Xiangshui" said: "Xiao, the water is clear and deep!" ”

Xiaoshui originates from the foothills of Ziliang Yao Wild Dog Mountain in Lanshan County, Chudi, meanders, flows through the Yao Nationality of Jianghua County, Jiangyong County, Dao County, Shuangpai Bay, and then gathers the West River, Xiaojiang, Fushui, Yongming River, Ningyuan River, and finally bends in Yongzhou, leaving Xiangling Mountain and Chaoyang Rock, which merge into the Xiangjiang River in Lingling Ping Island. Therefore, Yongzhou is also known as Xiaoxiang.

In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan had a snake catcher in Yongzhou! It is the most famous travelogue of the Tang Dynasty, "Yongzhou Eight Records", which describes the beauty and legend of Yongzhou, but by the end of the Tang Dynasty, many buildings and monuments have been destroyed in the war.

During the period of the five dynasties, Yongzhou was originally the hinterland of Chu, although it was backed by the Tumantian family, but it has always belonged to the core of Chu. Later, in the last years of Ma Chu, the Southern Han Dynasty in Lingnan took advantage of the rebellion of the horses fighting for the trough, sent troops to capture many state capitals in the Chu realm, and actually turned Yongzhou into the border between Chu and the Southern Han Kingdom in Lingnan.

Since ancient times, Yongzhou was connected to Chenzhou in the east, which was originally occupied by Chu in the east, and later occupied by Lingnan, Lianzhou in the southeast and later occupied by Lingnan, Hezhou in the southwest, Guizhou (Guilin) to which Lingnan belonged, Shaozhou in Chuzhong in the northwest, and Hengzhou, an important town in Chu, in the northeast. It is really a battleground for soldiers, and it is also the territory that the separatist forces care about the most.

As Zhou Xingfeng's Yongzhou assassin who came to power, Zhou Dunqi is now anxious. He can be said to be the only one appointed by Zhou Xingfeng to the south, because this side was originally handed over to his sworn brother Zhang Wenbiao, but Zhang Wenbiao recommended him to be the assassin of Yongzhou.

Zhou Dunqi is not only a rare brother of Zhou Xingfeng, although this brother has long exceeded the five suits, but Zhou Dunqi is indeed a rare all-round person in the Zhou family. Moreover, Zhou Dunqi and Zhang Wenbiao have a good personal relationship, and there are some in-laws involved.

Of course, Zhang Wenbiao recommended Zhou Dunqi for another point, that is, Zhou Xingfeng rarely trusts others, and Yongzhou is the throat of Hengzhou, so Zhang Wenbiao saw Zhou Xingfeng's preference at that time, so he also decisively recommended Zhou Dunqi. Therefore, Zhou Dunqi can be said to have no pressure to do the history of Yongzhou.

But now the pressure is coming, and it is the pressure that makes Zhou Dunqi sleepless.

First, I heard that the army of the Southern Han Kingdom suddenly crossed the border from Quanzhou, which was occupied, to Wugang County, Shaozhou, and the garrison was in the Langshan area. The garrison of Quanzhou here was originally said to be a Lingnan veteran, Li Chengwu, a subordinate of Wu Xun, a soldier of the military department. This Wu Xun was with Wu Huaien that day, and captured Hezhou and Quanzhou in Chudi, and his prestige has always been loud on the border.

Moreover, this Wu Xun was still a Lingnan special force that day, a famous giant elephant commander, and the elephant troops under his command were invincible, and the Chudi army was in the mountains and peaceful, so there was nothing to think about him. Therefore, in peacetime, relying on the mountain situation, Yongzhou and Quanzhou have not taken any other action, and this time Lingnan suddenly attacked, it was natural to send this force.

Some people say that the Southern Han army arrived at Dong'anchang in Lingling County, which was only 30 kilometers away from Yongzhou City. Although Zhou Dunqi is both civil and military, he is still mostly literati. The strategist is also in the city, so that he can fight against the army in front of the formation, and now Zhou Dunqi is really a little tired. What frightened Zhou Dunqi the most was that the Southern Han army had indeed arrived at Shuangpai Bay, right under the nose of Lingling County.

If the naval army of the Southern Han Kingdom followed Pingdao in Lingling County and went straight down Xiaoshui, Yongzhou City would be defeated with one blow. Of course, Zhou Dunqi is not only worried about this, Zhang Wenbiao, the assassin of Hengzhou, has already sent someone to Zhou Dunqi as early as the occupation of Daozhou City. Now he has personally led troops to support, but it is obvious that it will not be possible to arrive in a day or two.

Zhou Dunqi was seriously on fire, because he had just received an urgent report from several county governments, and the bandit Guo Jing, the king of Xiangxi, who occupied Shaozhou, robbed by fire, and his rebellious army was guarding Shaozhou City, while sending a team of 1,000 people down to snoop, and now it is only a few dozen miles away from Huangyangsi, and these dozens of miles of mountain roads should be reached soon for these bandits.

Of course, there is also the legend that has set off a bloody storm in Chu, a mysterious Southern Han State strange soldier. They went all the way deep into Chu and assassinated and attacked the officials of the state capital and county government everywhere. If they really focused on Yongzhou's piece of meat, Zhou Dunqi wouldn't have to wait for Zhang Wenbiao to come over, he would be eaten alive bite by bite. Thinking of those officials who were killed inexplicably, Zhou Dunqi shuddered when he thought about it, and he always wondered why no one came to assassinate him, so Zhou Dunqi was even more worried about himself.

As the border land after Chu Di Ma Chu, Yongzhou not only has a regular horse infantry army commander, but also a rare water and land reinforcement envoy, responsible for the few naval forces in Chu, and several armies together have enough strength of tens of thousands of troops. Of course, if Zhou Dunqi wants to gather the troops of the surrounding county governments, the total will definitely reach more than 20,000 troops immediately.

The strength of the army can be strengthened, but it means that all these troops are used to hold Yongzhou, and the surrounding states and counties are useless. Zhou Dunqi does not dare to go out of the city now, because various prefectures and counties have long been attacked by various kinds. And the facts have also proved that Yongzhou is an undefendable city.

It is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and surrounded by water on both sides. In the event of a war in such a city, it will be a great battle for the water guards for the navy. However, the state capital was built in Yongzhou City, at the foot of the mountain, and Lingling County, which has the same structure, is only four or five miles away.

The two cities that are closely related are both relying on the water potential of Xiaoshui, and if the troops go down the river and land, the defense of the city will inevitably be caught off guard. Coupled with the land attack of the opponent landing on three sides, Yongzhou City can have no way to escape.

In front of him sat the commander of the Ma Army, Sha Wuliu, the commander of the infantry army, Zhang Wenda, and the water and land support envoy Ma Huateng, everyone looked at Zhou Dunqi with a peep, and no one squeaked. Zhou Dunqi was even more sad, because Yongzhou City had been pushed to the forefront, and it was the peak of the wind and waves.

The horse farm in To'anchang was under the jurisdiction of the commander Sapenryu, but two days ago there was a riot suddenly and without warning. The reason is that there are horse wranglers in the horse farm, who are abused by the horse warden who manages the horse farm, and these horse wranglers actually gather together and kill the horse warden.

Later, it was found out that some people had instigated these horse herders, and they not only took away all the more than 300 war horses in the horse farm, but also drove away the garrison with some people, and set up various traps and obstacles around the horse farm, so that they naturally openly occupied the Dong'an horse farm.

After receiving an urgent report from the soldiers who fled from the racecourse, Sawuryu naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly led people to conquer it. Who knew that not only did he lose hundreds of soldiers, but he was almost left behind in the horse farm. Fortunately, the tooth soldiers around him were clever and took him to escape in advance, so he and the three of them ran back to Yongzhou.

Now Sapenryu still has a strap on one of his arms, and looking at the grinning appearance, it seems that he is not lightly injured. Of course, only he knows this matter in his own heart, Dong'an Horse Farm is Zhou Xingfeng's largest horse farm on the border, and now it is actually lost in the hands of Sha Wuru, he has great courage and relationships, and he does not dare to bear it. Naturally, it is inevitable to exaggerate the other party's forces and hide the fact that they have escaped.

Naturally, this incident made Zhou Dunqi even more frightened, and he didn't dare to send troops out easily, he couldn't figure out the details and strength of the other party, and thought that the army had hit the city.

Zhang Wenda is not a brother of Zhang Wenbiao, the assassin of Hengzhou, but a cronie brought by Zhou Dunqi from Langzhou, and it is said that he was also born in Zhou Xingfeng. Now he has more than 6,000 soldiers in Yongzhou City in his hands, but as Zhou Dunqi's follower, if Zhou Dunqi doesn't squeak, he can't act. Because Zhou Dunqi was not only personally appointed by Zhou Xingfeng, but also the assassination history of Yongzhou City recommended by Zhang Wenbiao, he was also the defense envoy of Yongzhou City and the training envoy of the Yongzhou regiment.

As Yongzhou, an important state capital connecting the Xiangjiang River with Xiaoshui, and the highest naval commander in this city with developed water transportation, Ma Huateng can be said to have lost his head overnight.

Because as a defensive envoy, Zhou Dunqi's troops in Yongzhou usually did not exceed 3,000 people. Moreover, these forces must be dispersed to the county capitals, and in fact, the garrison of Yongzhou in peacetime does not exceed 1,000 people. And Ma Huateng's navy army is only 1,500 people, and they are usually scattered and stationed in six water villages. In this way, Yongzhou's army is less than 5,000 people.

And the reason why Zhou Dunqi is so bold is that he also serves as the training envoy of the Yongzhou regiment. In peacetime, many soldiers of the township regiment were recruited, and they were mixed in the county government garrison. In fact, these regiments do not usually train like real soldiers, so although they claim to have nearly 30,000 soldiers, there are only a few thousand people who can really fight.

Ma Huateng's six water villages are related to the safety of Yongzhou City, if they can really be defended, at least most of the soldiers must go to the water village to garrison. But now Zhou Dunqi is calling back the soldiers from all over Yongzhou City, he is not at ease with his safety, looking at him Ma Huateng really wants to give him a stick.

"Your Excellency!" Ma Huateng arched his hand, and stopped talking, he was originally a son of Ma Chu Ma Yin's own family, although he was not a direct descendant of Ma Yin's family, but everyone knew his origin. So usually with these colleagues, he rarely expresses his opinions, but thinking of the current form, he has to speak to Zhou Dunqi. But seeing Zhou Dunqi's wrinkled moldy head, he sighed again in his heart.

"General Ma has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Although Zhou Dunqi is a little selfish, at this juncture, he also knows the importance of Ma Huateng to Yongzhou City. Although he is under his own control, but after all, the navy is under Zhou Xingfeng's own jurisdiction, if he is not careful, if there is any problem in Yongzhou, it will be his own problem at that time.

Ma Huateng glanced at Zhang Wenda, and saw the panic in the corners of Sha Wuru's eyes, and felt a little contempt in his heart. But Ma Huateng didn't blame this guy, Yongzhou City originally had its own naval army and Sha Wuliu's horse army, and the general army couldn't stir up the storm here. But now due to Sha Wuzhu's negligence, at least half of the Ma army has been lost, and the Ma army in Yongzhou City is now less than 300.

"Yongzhou City relies on natural insurance, and there is no big problem! But you have to be careful! Now all the dangers and city gates, there is no problem with General Zhang's defense, but Yongzhou City has always had a fatal flaw, and you may have forgotten it, that is, Lingling City cannot be lost. If Lingling City is about to fall and the enemy knows the defects of Yongzhou City, then Yongzhou City will definitely be destroyed! Ma Huateng's whole body trembled.

"Could it be,,,,,,! Ah! Water! "Dumbfounded.

The first to change his face was Zhang Wenda, he seemed to have thought of something terrible, his face was actually a little pale, and when he looked at Ma Huateng, he saw that the other party's eyes were full of worry. But after all, he was born in the military, and he was a fierce general under Zhou Xingfeng, so he was quite bold. Then he saluted Zhou Dunqi and said: "My lord, this matter is indeed urgent, if something happens to Lingling City, Yongzhou City will suffer together!" The last general is now willing to lead a thousand soldiers to help Lingling City! ”

Ma Huateng looked at Zhang Wenda gratefully, who knew that he hadn't come back to his senses yet, but Zhou Dunqi waved his hand.

"We'll talk about that later! Thinking that the enemy army in Lingnan is coming more and more, naturally they will not be very familiar with Yongzhou City! General Zhang immediately went to inspect the city gates to prevent thieves from infiltrating Yongzhou City. At the same time, the number of soldiers entering the city was counted, and the number of people in various places was carefully accurate, and when the number of people from each county government was about the same, it was reported immediately. This official intends to personally lead a group of soldiers to rush to Lingling City to help, and it is not too late to fight a decisive battle with the enemy army! Zhou Dunqi looked at the three of them confidently, thinking of more and more soldiers, he seemed to have a lot of confidence. Then he said to Ma Huateng: "General Ma has also worked hard these days, just take the opportunity to return to the city, hurry back to the house and gather with relatives, I haven't returned to the city for half a month, wait and then go to the water village!" ”

Ma Huateng sighed in his heart, but saw Zhou Dunqi quietly and said to Sha Wuzhu: "Although General Sha is injured, for the trust of the Metropolitan Governor and the tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou City, this official thinks that General Sha should not refuse!" This official will hand over the responsibility of the south gate of Yongzhou City to you! ”

Sha Wuru's face was very wonderful for a while, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and looked at Zhou Dunqi speechless.

It turns out that the south gate of Yongzhou City is the first gate for the Southern Han army to attack, and there is a secret that very few people know, if this secret is implemented, it will be fatal to Yongzhou City. That is, if Yongzhou City really had an accident because of that secret, the first thing to suffer would definitely be the South Gate, so guarding the South Gate was equivalent to a horse's pawn.

The four people here all knew this secret, and although Sawuryu was injured on the surface to avoid crime, Zhou Dunqi had no way to arrange him like this. It can be said that he made meritorious service, or it can be said that he was sent to the tip of the knife, anyway, I don't know whether Zhou Dunqi wanted to save Sha Wuryu, or if he wanted to become shameless with Sha Wuru.

Ma Huateng seemed to have finally felt comfortable, and his frowning brows actually relaxed. Zhang Wenda remained silent, looking at Zhou Dunqi with a pair of eyes, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said. And Ma Huateng looked at Sha Wuru's eyes, and hurriedly closed his eyes to recuperate, as if he didn't see it.

Sha Wuryu was trembling with anger in his heart, his teeth were almost crushed, and he knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to stiffen his head and say hoarsely: "The last general will take the order, swear to follow the lord to the death, and repay the grace of the governor of the capital!" The pair of eyes turned red in an instant, and they actually stood up and walked out slowly with a limp.

Ma Huateng had just come out of the Thorn Mansion, and the tooth soldiers led the horses over, Ma Huateng saw that it was still early in the morning, and there were already a lot of people on the street, so he couldn't help but ask the tooth soldiers around him what was going on. The tooth soldiers told them that the water in the moat had suddenly receded, and there were rumors that the elephant army in Lingnan was coming to attack the city.

For a while, Ma Huateng sat on the horse and suddenly froze, not worried about the siege, but suddenly thought of a terrible thing. I couldn't help but pat the horse and say, "Hurry back home!" The men and horses had already started to run away, causing the tooth soldiers to run after them.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a loud bang! A strange boom came from far and near. Then you can see a huge wave of water nearly 100 meters wide, roaring from the small bay in front.

The soldiers standing on the tower were stunned, and before they could shout, the monstrous waves rushed down with a momentum of two feet high. Mixed with broken branches and leaves, it swallowed up all the low towers of Lingling City.

The continuous huge waves not only rushed to the attic on the city tower, broke the city gate, but also quickly poured into Lingling City. The wooden buildings on the street were quickly flooded, and strangely enough, no one appeared, even the soldiers who were struggling in the water.

These soldiers had no ability to save themselves, because the water did not slow down, and they knocked down the city gate and wooden houses, driving a large amount of debris to wash all the way, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Lingling City was completely flooded.

A cry finally shook the sky, and on the main road not far from the north gate of Lingling City, thousands of people were crowding each other. There are soldiers, there are people, and well-dressed people. But the water had already rushed over quickly, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is a canyon-like place of nearly two thousand meters, the flat official road is the only official road leading to Yongzhou City in ordinary times, the side of the official road is a small stream of no more than six or seven meters, and the two sides of the road and the stream are the most hilly peaks in Chu. Far away from this place is an open plain, and as long as you get out of this place, no matter how big the water is, it will not be a problem.

However, now this place has become a nightmare terrain. A large amount of water in Lingling City was rushing over like a sea of mountains with a large number of knocked down door panels, window beams, and stunned people. And because the terrain is like a large canal, the flood water comes smoothly.

At this moment, it is no less than the galloping of thousands of horses, no matter who has great ability, even if there are thousands of means, in such a big sudden battle and the surrounding environment, the strength of the individual is also insignificant. The first to suffer were naturally the people who walked at the end of the line, many of whom were washed down by the water when they could not stand firm at all, and also brought down the people in front, and for a while I don't know how many people were washed away.

It doesn't matter what your identity is, in the face of this great flood, everyone is helpless and vulnerable.

On the peak to the right of the north gate, there stood a team of several hundred people, this strange team had all kinds of clothes, and it seemed that everyone had everything. However, they all have one thing in common, that is, they both wear a green silk scarf tied around their right arm. They bravely held all kinds of weapons, supported the two leaders together, and excitedly watched the monstrous water rushing out of Lingling City, and the crowd of people who were like fleeing rats.

"Once this flood passes, it will inevitably hit a large number of people. Let's go down and pick up the dead fish right now, everyone get ready! Polishing your tricks. People have said that as long as we complete this task, we will be given ten thousand taels of gold! The thirty or forty-year-old leader who was holding a three-foot machete and had a big scar on the right side of his face looked at the other leader beside him proudly and said.

In addition, the leader in a red samurai power suit is also thirty years old, with two beards, and his body is a little thin compared to this scar-faced leader. He didn't answer the words of the scarface leader, and he didn't squeak with the seven-foot chopping knife in his right hand, quietly looking at the monstrous waves below the slope and the sound of crying, and his brows furrowed.

Now the development seems to be a little different from what he imagined, in order to complete the mission of Lingling City, Qu Weixian found the cottage where this scarface is located, a force parasitic between Yongzhou and Chuxi Yin Jiabao.

The lord of the fort, Yin Shangxun, promised to lure out the officers and soldiers of Lingling City and give him 10,000 taels of gold. Yin Shangxun sent his cousin, this scar-faced Yin Shangxin to assist him, and the rest he said that he had done it, but he didn't expect Yin Shangxun to attack with cruel water. Taking a deep breath, he slowly calmed down, knowing that now was not the time to be indecisive.

Suddenly, Qu Weixian's eyes lit up, and he saw that in the middle of that section of the road, there was a group of soldiers hugging a group of people, who did not care about the lives of the people around them, and ran forward quickly. If you find someone in the way, you can immediately swing your knife and cut it, or just take a knife and cut it all the way forward. "Linglingcheng County Commander Chen Kui and the garrison commander military academy Tang Ji must be there! You go down with a certain family! He waved the knife in his hand and rushed down.

There were some men in strong suits, who didn't seem to be from Yin Jiabao, and when they saw that Qu Weixian had rushed out, they immediately followed and rushed down. And the scar-faced leader Yin Shang recognized that when he saw Qu Weixian's back, his face was a little uncomfortable, but when he saw that everyone rushed out dozens of meters, he had to wave his knife to signal everyone, and then led people to rush down.

If there are just one or two people, under this big trend, some means and personal abilities, such as a master on the rivers and lakes, in this rolling crowd and panicked escape, countless panics, causing everyone to avoid panic, he will only be pushed forward involuntarily, or involuntarily hugged forward. Another possibility is that unless he doesn't want to go.

Behind them are the panicked people who have lost their claims, and this crazy crowd of people is already more terrifying than the panicked war horses. War horses have no consciousness and can only run forward. And these people are conscious and thoughtful people, who will run for their own interests and their lives, regardless of the lives of those around them, and of course, most of them are also involuntarily.

Behind it was the river that was pouring down, surging and surging and quickly flooding, and the river formed by the flood only washed down a group of people at first, and then the water quickly submerged from everyone's feet to the legs, and finally immediately to the knees, and the majestic and rapid water flow was deafening.

At first, everyone was still running fast, and some people were washed down by the current, which naturally pushed down many people. There are those who cry for their fathers and mothers, and those who call for their children and daughters are in chaos. Those who are lucky enough to be still running away, looking at the feeling of the turbulent waves and turbidity rushing to the sky, make people feel panicked and helpless, cold and scared. The clever ones began to run down the hill on both sides, but only a handful of them.

The water is getting more and more urgent, the water is getting deeper and deeper, and a large river has formed. If you don't follow the crowd, you'll either be trampled down or you'll be swept into the river. Even if you don't push it into the river, the water here is getting deeper and deeper, and some people who can't run will stand unsteadily in the water and fall, and some people can only watch many people being washed away again, floating and sinking in the water, and soon disappearing.

If anyone has the ability to stand there at the moment, he will definitely show his personal ability. However, at the same time, he will also be an obvious meat target, and no one who really has this ability will be a fool to be this bird. Standing there conspicuously, let alone standing in the water, the water is getting deeper and deeper.

At this moment, it can only be said that the crowd is crowded and people's hearts are scattered, which makes people worry and fear, no one has time to take care of anyone, only the destiny of each other! Of course, in this large crowd of people, not to mention the impact of the flood. As long as one is not careful, there will be a big mess. But in this environment, who can control the situation! There is no difference between ordinary people and small soldiers at the moment, the difference is that soldiers are more likely to die.

If, simply the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and generally not ruthless people, are not ruthless, they will not do such angry things, then these people may not suffer anything. However, this is the battlefield. Especially this large number of civilians are still with the soldiers, and the soldiers are always the target of the battlefield, and the war is so cruel.

At this moment, who is in the mood to take care of these things, and the top priority is to solve the immediate crisis, that is, these people are together, whether it is a helpless person like the common people, or these soldiers wearing armor, the ghost knows what the waterproof person wants.

The people who fled for their lives in a panic were the same as the soldiers who were all in the wind, and at this moment no one knew whether they were leaving to escape for their lives or whether they were encouraged to flee by the wind. In this environment, if no one comes forward or stands up, it is impossible to deal with this kind of crisis, and any small problem will cause a big problem, and survival at this moment is the real king.

However, maybe these people are unlucky, maybe these people are destined. The fact that the common people and the panicked soldiers are standing together will mean that they will be hit and devastated in the same way as the soldiers.

At this moment, strong men with strong bodies and tall horses are running for their lives in the ranks, whether you are a soldier who has taken off his armor or an innocent common man, no one will let go of these people. What's more, these pursuers were originally here to sweep and suppress, so naturally they would not let go of these people.

As a result, a large number of the old, weak, sick and disabled became scapegoats.

Arrows rained down, screaming in the sky!

Everyone wants a bridge, a bridge for them to escape.
