Chapter 256: Breaking the Ground

The princes of the world are fighting endlessly. In these chaotic times, people who can be called famous generals are certainly excellent in all aspects. The so-called "for the way of the general, when you know astronomy, know geography, dialectic, good at investigating gains and losses." Only by pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages can we have the opportunity to win or lose. ”

Wang Feng, who became famous thirty years ago, is certainly qualified to be called a famous general. After a conversation at night, jokes were jokes, he actually understood Nie Wushuang's meaning very well.

The rain for several days not only caused inconvenience to the soldiers, but also posed a certain risk to the entire camp. And the source of this danger is the tributary of the Luo River that flows through the northern foot of Zhongyue Mountain.

According to the scout's report, the tributaries of the Luo River have been flooded with water because of flash floods in the past few days. The autumn water is long, and the turbulent eastward flow. In addition, both sides of the river are flat and wide, and the whole river is already mighty, which is extremely spectacular.

However, although many people, including Nie Wushuang, had expressed their concerns in this regard, Wang Feng did not think that the river would pose too serious a threat to the camp of the army based on the comprehensive information and careful analysis.

The reason is simple, even if the river is full again, it will not change course on its own. The camp of the Qin army and the princes' army were connected together, and the closest place to the river was also more than ten miles away. So, even if the terrain is relatively low-lying, he is not worried.

Later, for the sake of insurance, he once sent his most confidant generals to check on the spot. As he expected, although the river was turbulent, it would eventually go downstream, and there would be no great danger on the north bank of the river.

In such heavy rain, it is certainly not advisable to move camps. The movement of tens of thousands of troops is not a trivial matter, and if the Zhao army takes the opportunity to attack, it will be troublesome. So, even though he was in trouble because of the water in many parts of the camp, he still chose to wait. There will be two more days at most, and after the rain and the sky will be clear, it will be a good time for the decisive battle.

As for the stagnant water that formed in the camp, Wang Feng ordered the princes' army to draw out some men and horses and dig several long trenches. Keep draining the stagnant water. It worked, though it was still muddy. But the rain does not accumulate, and it basically flows away with the trenches. Moreover, these trenches also have a role, that is, to prevent the surprise attack of the cavalry of the Zhao State.

Of course, the reason why this factor was taken into account was because of Nie Wushuang's suggestion. This young master of the Qin State knew Chu Jiangmian's cunning very well. If that guy takes advantage of the rain to do something, it's not impossible. In short, being prepared is good for all.

It is precisely because of these several layers of precautionary measures that the officers and men of the Qin army can sit back and relax in the camp for a few days. After eating and drinking, each of them was full of spirit, and the will to fight was stronger than ever. If they go to the battlefield again, when the two armies charge, everyone believes that no matter how powerful the other party is, they can win in one fell swoop and beat him!

"Chu Jiangmian, just wait! When this rain stops, that's when you give your head!"

Nie Wushuang, who was paying attention to the mental state of the soldiers of the Qin Army at any time, gritted his teeth and said. He already hated Chu Jiangmian to the core. The state of Qin suffered one defeat after another in front of him and suffered heavy losses. Not only was he extorted a large amount of gold away, but even Mu Xueqing, who had an excellent relationship with Nie Wushuang, died at his hands. If this revenge is not avenged, the hatred in the heart will rise day by day.

Recently, Nie Wushuang, who was following in the army, did not fight in person. But he was not idle. The dead spies of the Qin State Hook Elimination Department were ordered to collect all the information about the march of the Zhao State army. After comprehensively comparing the combat effectiveness of the two sides, he couldn't help but increase his confidence. No matter how powerful the cavalry of the Zhao State is, it is still a big step behind the tiger and wolf division of the Qin State led by Wang Feng himself!

Nie Wushuang had already decided. When a cavalry raid was launched against the Zhao army, he would definitely put on his armor and mount his horse and follow the charge in person. If it is possible, he will cut off Chu Jiangmian and cut off his head to fulfill his long-standing wish.

Wang Feng and Nie Wushuang led their soldiers and waited for a long time. However, even if they are full of confidence, how can they think that some things in this world are half destined by God and half are caused by manpower!

The strange peaks and mountains of nature, the magic axes, are all created by the heavens, beyond the reach of man. As for those mountains and rivers, they go thousands of miles, and they can't be stopped by manpower. If anyone tries to intervene forcibly with the power of mortals, then there is no doubt that they will end up in pieces.

This iron law, recognized by the world, has been natural and irrefutable since the enlightenment of mankind and the realization of the power of nature. If there is any guy who is not ashamed to jump out and say that he can translate mountains and rivers and change rivers, then he will undoubtedly be stoned to death by a bunch of white eyes!

However, some people say so today. In the face of the waning rain, before dawn, a young man named Chu Jiangmian waved his arms and loudly summoned his army of warriors.

"Let's go! I'm taking you to do something big!"

A team of three hundred people, following their king, stepped into the rain without hesitation. Their eyes were fixed on the cloaked figure who walked at the front, he was neither a god nor a demon, he was just a mortal like them. However, every word he uttered, whether it was going to Pingshan, or filling in the river, or even stealing the sky...... Just follow him like that, and you can't do it!

Princess Sanssouci stood at the gate of the camp with her eyes open, watching the group walk away. She actually wanted to go with Chu Jiangmian very much, but she was sternly refused. This time, Chu Jiangmian didn't give her any affection. He deliberately lowered his head not to look at the eyes that were about to cry, and his tone was stern.

"I didn't quite know what to do. If you are unlucky, your life is likely to be in danger...... You will stay in the barracks and help the generals stabilize the morale of the army. ”

"But...... Why would you do such a dangerous thing? ”

"Because, the Qin army is too strong. If they face each other, they may not be their opponents. So I have to take a gamble!"

"Then you can let someone else go! You are the king of Zhao, with a noble status and a heavy responsibility. Why take the risk yourself? In case ......!"

Princess Sanssouci's tears have been rolling down with the rain. She grabbed Chu Jiangmian's sleeve tightly with her hand, as if as soon as she let go, she would lose him forever.

"Has the princess forgotten what I once said to you? We're all the same people. They are also born to their parents, and their distant families are waiting for them...... This war was originally the responsibility that I took the initiative to solicit, and naturally it should be borne by me!"

The woman who had these words in her mind couldn't say a word of the thousands of feelings in her heart. It was now that she truly understood what he meant by what he had said to her. Such a man who practices himself, such a broad-minded man, he is really unique and unparalleled in the world!

"Whether you succeed or not, you have to give me a safe return! If you have a ...... Woooooooo

The words "I will die to the death" in the last sentence did not come out after all. Endless worry and sadness welled up in her heart, and Princess Sanssouci forgot her identity and hugged her head and cried.

The soldiers of Zhao and Qi who had all gathered in the Zhao army camp bowed their heads in silence. Their clenched fists clenched in front of their chests, and their iron armor sounded and their expressions were excited. Perhaps, they can only pay the highest salute to that distant back in this way now. Thousands of strong hearts, converge into a sky-high momentum, follow the king, bless success!

All the scouts and Qianji Pavilion spies who went to investigate the movements of the Qin army's camp have all been ordered to rush back. Before the explosion of the sky, tens of thousands of troops were ready for battle.

The rain was dull and the wait was long. After the sky was bright, the rain that had been falling for three days and three nights gradually stopped. Soon, the dawn broke in the east, although it was still drizzling here, and the shadow of the morning glow magically began to appear in the distant sky.

In the southwest direction, dozens of miles away, as the wind came, people and horses began to be heard in the Qin army's camp. It was clear that they couldn't take it anymore. The sky has just cleared, and the people of the Qin State who have been recuperating for many days are about to start preparing for battle.

The remaining soldiers in the Zhao army's camp, including those from the Qi Kingdom, began to have a slight commotion. They had been waiting for more than an hour. But King Zhao's side has not moved at all. If the Qin people chose to launch a sudden attack at this time, then what should they do?

"General Wang, should we first go to the outside of the camp to line up and prepare to deal with the attack of the Qin people?"

The general of the Qi army finally couldn't help it, and he asked in a low voice. And Wang Jun, the general of Zhao State, who was standing side by side with him and waiting for the news, did not even blink, and directly replied categorically.

"King Zhao has an order, the whole army is ready to fight, and not a single soldier is allowed to leave the camp!"

General Qi didn't say anything more. Because he saw Princess Sanssouci turn around, her eyes were cut, and they were as cold as ice. He hurriedly retreated back to his place. No one dared to disobey the order passed down by King Chu Jiangmian of Zhao before leaving. Before a new order comes back, I'm afraid that even if the Qin army comes to the camp, they won't fight.

The showers stopped and the red sun rose in the east. The army of Qin and the soldiers and horses of the princes beat the drums of war. The sound of thousands of war drums is deafening, and the momentum can be imagined. They were about to break out of the camp and launch a devastating blow on the Zhao army's camp.

However, at this moment, the loud sound of the earth shattering overshadowed all the noise between heaven and earth, and the upper reaches of the Luo River, the mouth of the strange peaks, and the mountain peaks collapsed, and a catastrophe was coming!
