One after another, the electric light tore through the sky, and the terrifying thunder continued to echo between the heavens and the earth, and the earth seemed to tremble. Suyu, the torrential rain that covered the sky and the earth poured down from the cracks in the cloudy sky.

Nanying has not thought about the possibility of rainfall, but this idea is fleeting, although it is the rainy season in June, but this place is not in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the impact of the rainy season should be minimal! Who would have thought that there would be a sudden rainstorm, which is really the best portrayal of an unforeseen situation.

The torrential rain became heavier and heavier, forming a white string of beads between the heavens and the earth, almost blinding people's eyes, and the dense and heavy sound of raindrops gathered into a terrible roar, almost completely covering the tyrannical thunder.

The sudden rainstorm caught both sides off guard and completely disrupted the planned deployment. The Han army originally hoped to retreat quietly into the mountains by night, but now it is quite difficult to even count the number of people and collect supplies, and it is not easy to evacuate quickly. Identifying the route to the mountains in the heavy rain alone can be a challenge, not to mention the muddy and difficult mountain roads! The Yellow Turban Army was also in disarray, and their first consideration was not how to break the embankment, but to observe the water level of Yingshui while urgently withdrawing all the troops still in the lowlands to the high ground. Such a heavy rain is very easy to cause the collapse of the river embankment, if it is not handled properly, Hugh said that the water attack on the Han army, I am afraid that I will bear the brunt of it first.

Of course, the heavy rain is not without its benefits for both sides. For the Yellow Turban Army, they are even more victorious, as long as they ensure that they are foolproof first, they can calmly break the river embankment and bury all the Han troops. The Han army, on the other hand, took advantage of the heavy rain to block their view, and did not have to worry about any Yellow Turban scouts finding out the truth about their retreat, although the operation was more difficult, but at least a little bit of precious time was gained.

Although the retreat of the Han army was quite embarrassing, the whole process was perfect, which was admired by famous generals such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

When the thunder and lightning were combined and the heavy rain did not fall, Gao Feng had already led more than a thousand cavalry straight to the nearest foot of the mountain. They surveyed the easier mountain road in the shortest possible time, and immediately abandoned their horses into the mountain with more than 100 old members of the eagle's nest and explored deep into the mountain. In the mountains near the Eagle's Nest, they have developed a wealth of experience in the mountains and forests, and they are the best candidates to be pioneers. The rest of the cavalry hurriedly dragged the horses up the steep hillside, and the ground was still dry, and there was still a chance to send the horses into the mountains, otherwise once it rained heavily, it would be difficult for people to walk, and they would no longer be able to take care of the horses.

Sure enough, only more than half of the war horses were pulled, and the torrential rain had poured down, and then barely pulled more than 100 horses, and even people could not stand on the hillside, and the cavalry looked at the foot of the mountain There were still three or four hundred war horses, and their eyes couldn't help but get wet, this is a loyal partner who was born and died with him along the way! Thinking that there were still 7,000 horses in the camp, some of the soldiers simply cried.

At this time, the second group of about 2,000 men and horses arrived, and their task was not to enter the mountain immediately, but under the command of Ma Jun, they braved the heavy rain and used a large amount of rubble collected temporarily to pave a stone road on the already muddy sloping mountain road, creating favorable conditions for the follow-up troops to enter the mountain smoothly. At the same time, they are still working hard to collect stone chips and gravel in the vicinity, constantly cementing this life route. Thanks to their fruitful work, the first cavalry units finally succeeded in pulling all the remaining horses at the foot of the mountain into the mountain.

On the ten-mile road from the Han army camp to the mountains, piles of bonfires were lit, and all the car covers used for driving in the army, and even the generals' big tents were cut into tarpaulins to protect them from the rain, ensuring that the faint light of the fire could bloom in the rain and guide the confused soldiers to hope.

All the scouts took action, dressed in robes, and walked back and forth between the campfires in small groups, shouting a few words in hoarse voices from time to time, alerting the groups of Han troops who passed by them. Their duties were significant, maintaining the lighting of the campfires, guiding the retreating Han troops, and retrieving the lost soldiers. It was a dangerous chore to evacuate at the end, but the scouts' hearts seemed to grow hotter and hotter in their rain-drenched bodies, for every word of the Admiral's command rang out: Never give up a brother!

The rear army moved extremely quickly, and it took only two hours for more than half of the 10,000 soldiers to retreat into the mountains, and they retreated almost immediately after Nanying gave the order, and I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, although the mountain pass chosen by Gao Feng was between the front army and the rear army, it was closer to the rear army, which saved more time for the rear army's retreat. On the other hand, the front army was slow to act, from Huangfu Song hurriedly returned to the front army, issued an emergency retreat order, and then the chickens and dogs jumped in chaos for a while, until the guide sent by the rear army took the initiative to come to the front army, and the nearly 10,000 soldiers of the front army had just been prepared.

At the entrance of the mountain, a figure stood proudly, and although it was raining heavily on his head, and the rain was falling down his forehead like a curtain of wet hair, he still stood like a nail.

"General!" Ma Jun hurriedly came behind him and held up a tung oil umbrella for him, "Please go into the mountain!" Almost all of our 10,000 soldiers have withdrawn into the mountains, and they are advancing towards the mountains according to the entry marks left by Brother Feng, and there are Eagle's Nest brothers along the way! ”

"What 10,000 soldiers of our army? It's 20,000! Nanying said in a deep voice: "The 10,000 people of the former army have not yet arrived, what is going on?" ”

"Please rest assured, General!" Ma Jun said helplessly, "Someone from the front army has already spread the word just now, they are rushing here at full speed, and the scouts are guiding the way!" ”

"Then Ben will be waiting here! Until the last soldier enters the mountain! Nanying gently pushed Ma Jun: "You go to Gao Feng and ask them to find a spacious place in the mountains as soon as possible, set up a simple tent, and boil some hot water!" If it rains like this, the soldiers will be no better than drowning! ”

"Look, it's someone from the former army who is here!" Someone shouted at the throat: "The person in front seems to be General Huangfu!" ”

Sure enough, they were people from the front army, and their appearance was much more embarrassing than that of the rear army, and many soldiers didn't even wear all their armor, and they were all covered in mud.

Nan Ying looked at the oncoming Huangfu Song, couldn't help frowning, and shouted in his ear: "The rain is getting smaller, we have to speed up and enter the mountain, otherwise once the rain stops at dawn, the thief army will break the embankment and release the water!" ”

Huangfu Song nodded again and again when he heard this, and he also leaned into Nanying's ear and shouted, "Don't worry! Ben will be watching here himself, so you might as well go to the mountains and prepare to receive it! ”

Nan Ying leaned over again and shouted: "There are Gao Shun and Gao Feng in the mountains, as well as Zhu Jun and Sima Zhi, there will be no problem!" You and I are here together! ”

He saw that Huangfu Song was slightly shocked, looked at him in surprise, and shouted with a wry smile: "It is the general's idea to enter the mountain, so if you don't see the last soldier enter the mountain safely, the general will never go first!" ”

Huangfu Song was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when suddenly a soldier ran over and shouted: "General, the stone road up the mountain has been trampled in all directions, and it is getting harder and harder for the brothers!" ”

"Then what nonsense are you talking about!" Nanying yelled, "Don't let people go find stones to pave again!" ”

"However, there are no more stones to be found nearby!" The soldier wiped a handful of rain from his face, "It's all used for a long time!" ”

"Go! Find some long ropes and hang down from the big tree tied to the hillside! Nanying said without hesitation: "Let the brothers below pull the rope and climb up!" ”

Looking at the soldiers pulling the long rope and slowly climbing like a string of grasshoppers, Huangfu Song said sincerely: "General Nan should deal with it decently, it would be better to do it!" ”

"Don't praise me just yet!" Nan Ying's face couldn't find a trace of calmness, he said nervously: "Half of your talents have come up, but I always have a bad feeling, can you make them faster!" ”

Huangfu Song couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, he was now apprehensive about Nanying's "auspicious" words, and blurted out: "Do you think that the enemy army will break the embankment before dawn?" ”

"It's not the enemy, I'm afraid...... Hey? What's going on here? ”

Huangfu Song was taken aback, and turned his head sideways to follow Nanying's gaze.

Originally, in the dark night, piles of bonfires snaked into the distance like long snakes, although the farthest light of the fire was extremely faint, but you could still barely see the little beating light and shadow.

But at this time, the farthest fire had been extinguished at some point, and then in the blink of an eye, the farthest place as far as the eye could see, another ball of light and shadow disappeared. Although the former army had already begun to enter the mountain, and the scouts who had been in charge of guarding the bonfires had also withdrawn, the bonfires were covered by canopies, and the rain had become lighter, so it was impossible to extinguish them so quickly.

Huangfu Song was shocked and said, "This, what's going on?" ”

Nanying's extraordinary sense of hearing suddenly caught the sound of the ground seeming to rumble, and he stared blankly at the little by little firelight in the distance and disappeared into the darkness, and suddenly shouted with all his might: "Climb quickly!" The flood is coming! ”

The soldiers on the mountain road immediately panicked, and they climbed up the mountain like a desperate hand and foot, and the soldiers on the hillside also reacted, throwing long ropes one after another down the mountain, and everyone went crazy!

The rain stopped suddenly, and there was a faint glimmer of light in the sky, and it was no longer pitch black where you couldn't see your fingers.

Nanying and Huangfu Song suddenly opened their mouths at the same time, staring at the terrifying scene that loomed in the distance: the boundless black wave was like a heavy city wall, crushing it faster than the galloping horse. There was a loud buzzing sound that made the ears tingle, like an ancient beast was letting out a roar that would choose people to devour.

The more than 2,000 Han soldiers who were still stranded at the bottom of the mountain and had no time to go up the mountain did not even have time to let out heart-rending screams before they were swallowed up by the churning and turbulent river. Nanying and Huangfu Song were seeing blood dripping from their eyes, only to feel a shock under their feet, and the waves of the flood had hit the mountain hard.

On the hillside, hundreds of Han troops who were trying to climb up with long ropes were at least half submerged, and all those who were submerged in the water by the angry waves were all like being smashed from behind by a hammer, and they vomited blood with a "wow", followed by water from their mouths and noses at the same time, and lost consciousness.

Nan Ying only felt a tremor under his feet, and his heart was even more terrified, knowing that this was because of the heavy rain and the violent impact of Yingshui on the foot of the slope, and there would be a precursor to a landslide, he screamed: "Not good! The hillside is slipping! Climb up the mountain! ”

He knew that it would be extremely dangerous to go up or down when encountering a landslide, but unfortunately there was a raging flood below, and he had no choice but to take the risk of continuing to climb.

When everyone climbed up dozens of steps, they only heard a loud "bang" behind them, and the slope of the mountain where Nanying had just stood disappeared, and together with the slope of the mountain road into the mountain, they all turned into a rolling mudflow, mixed with broken branches and stones, rushing down into the churning torrent below.

Cold sweat trickled down Nanying's forehead, knowing that he had finally succeeded in his gamble, and that the mountain had only collapsed due to the heavy impact of the flood just now, which could be regarded as a small life.

He didn't have the slightest joy of dying and resurrecting, looking at the gradually soothing water under his feet, his heart was like a thousand catties of boulders, just a few snaps of his fingers, at least 2,500 Han soldiers lost their lives, the water was ruthless, as soon as it was!

Nanying was suddenly afraid, if he didn't make a decision on the spot, he immediately retreated with all his strength, and once he hesitated, he was afraid that the whole army would be killed in the flood.

Huangfu Song and the surviving soldiers were all pale, obviously thinking the same as Nanying.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted, "Look! There are still people alive in the water! ”

At this time, the sky was brighter, and everyone stared at it together, and sure enough, they saw dozens of small black spots in the water that were sinking and floating, and someone had survived from the terrible water just now, which was really a miracle!

Nan Ying was overjoyed, and pointed to a soldier next to him and said, "Quick! Help me remove my armor! ”

The soldier was stunned and said, "What does the general want to do?" ”

Nanying kicked him angrily and said angrily: "Of course it's to save people!" Pump you again! ”

The soldiers came to their senses together, and a few quick reactions rushed up, helping Nanying to remove his leather armor, and many soldiers who were proficient in water also took off the burdensome things on their bodies with the help of their comrades.

Nanying ordered everyone to tie a long rope around their waists before jumping into the water one by one.

One by one, they dragged the soldiers who were struggling in the water to the side of the mountain, tied them with long ropes around their waists, and the soldiers on the mountain lifted them.

After a few back and forth, there were also thrilling rescuers of all the survivors, Nanying still did not give up, he saw that the water had eased, insisted on swimming in a large circle nearby, and actually rescued a former soldier, or a chief.

When Nan Ying was the last to be pulled up the hill, the soldiers looked at his pale and resolute face, and everyone's eyes were full of admiration, this Nan General did what he said, he was really the last person to retreat.

Just as Nanying's figure was getting taller and taller in the eyes of the soldiers, the venerable general sat down on the ground without grace, holding his feet and screaming, "Oh, hey! Lao Tzu's feet are cramping, come and rub it personally! ”
