Songgao River (located in the territory of Song County, Luoyang City, Henan Province today), two hundred miles away from the southwest of Luoyang, the river surface is not wide, the water potential is gentle, the shallow place of water only reaches the waist and abdomen, and the water can be crossed. Its south leans on the Funiu Mountains, and it is lush and green at the eye of the eye.

On the north bank of the Songgao River, Chen Qingzhi looked at the tall and majestic mountains, and let out a long breath: "The sky will not die, and my white-robed army will also!" But crossing this river and hiding in the mountains, the northern thief rode again, what can I do? ”

It turned out that although Yuan Tianmu's army was chasing the white-robed army all the way, he didn't dare to make a move. Until He Bayue arrived with elite cavalry, two times and one army, the morale soared, and it was a turn of impact.

The white-robed army is really amazing, even if the enemy is menacing, it is still calm and unhurried, and the formation is like that. In addition to repelling the Wei army again and again, he was able to move south, and ran nearly a hundred miles away in a few days. Today, we broke away from the pursuit of the Wei army and arrived at the north of Funiu Mountain and the Songgao River. Counting the number of people, there are still more than 4,000 remaining.

This is still because of the strong combat strength of the elite cavalry under He Bayue, and it is extremely difficult to deal with it on the plain, otherwise it is only relying on the 20,000 horses under the command of Yuan Tianmu who have suffered several losses from the white-robed army, and the white-robed army is afraid that it will not be out of trouble long ago.

When Song Jingxiu heard Chen Qingzhi say this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "In this case, why hesitate? I'm going to explore the way and find a shallow place where we can cross the river. ”

Pei Guo glanced at it from afar, frowned and said, "If you enter the mountain, the cavalry of the Wei army will indeed be useless." But this Funiu Mountain is thousands of miles long, the mountains are high and the forests are deep, and the insects and beasts are dense, once our army enters, I am afraid that it will not be easy to come out? ”

"Don't I know?" Chen Qingzhi sighed and said, "But that's better than carrying it to the death with the Northern Thief in the wilderness?" When the brothers came to this place, they were all tired and ran out of arrows, and if they fought two more battles, they would probably all fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

What Chen Qingzhi said was the truth, the white-robed army was only mortals, not immortals, and fighting with the Wei army, which was several times his size, was a way to defeat after all. Pei Guo's expression was depressed, and he was speechless at the moment.

Chen Qingyi patted Pei Guo on the shoulder and grinned: "If you want to say that my white-robed army still has luck, it has reached the end of the strong crossbow, and it is about to be weak." You see, God also knows this, so he sent a shallow river and a deep mountain, isn't it clear that he wants to save my white-robed army from trouble? ”

"Isn't it?" Song Jingxiu laughed: "I have more than 4,000 brothers here, and a living person can still suffocate a mountain to death?" The mountains are high and the forests are deep, which can block the northern thieves; Insects and beasts are dense, haha, aren't they all good things for the stomach? ”

The white-robed army laughed up and down, and the big guy was quite optimistic.

Chen Qingzhi also smiled, and said: "Let's go, don't patronize the fun, take advantage of the fact that the northern thief has not arrived, hurry up!" The crowd agreed.

Pei Guo nodded silently, but after all, he frowned, his heart was faint, and he always felt that something was wrong.

。。。。。。

North of the Songgao River, less than ten miles away, tens of thousands of Wei troops are chasing after them. The first few horses were like flying, and the generals of the Wei army, such as Gai Yuan Tianmu and He Bayue, were also not good-looking.

It's no wonder that after chasing for many days, I don't want to let the white-robed thief escape. I've seen the map, asked the guide, in front of me is the endless Funiu Mountain, these white-robed thieves are all the iron lumps that can't be steamed, cooked, and hammered, once they get into the mountain, where do they look?

In case he is really a white-robed thief who has lost Tianzhu and hates him so much, Yuan Tianmu is the main responsibility, but He Bayue is also boasting about Haikou, how good can his mood be? Therefore, each of them desperately raised the whip and urged the horse, only hating the horse for being too slow.

The effect is not too good--- all the way to the road, the terrain is not as flat as before, and it is undulating; From time to time, there are hills on both sides, and the access road becomes narrower. What's more, the ground is muddy, there are ponds and ditches everywhere, the horses are miserable, and there are many people who accidentally fall and even break their legs.

This is, of course, due to the proximity to Funiu Mountain, the disappearance of the plains, and the rugged terrain. The Northern Army has always liked to gallop vertically and horizontally, and it is very uncomfortable to arrive here, which is why he waited for him to ride a horse, but was pulled away by the white-robed army who walked on two legs.

Ran again to Xu, and suddenly a horse came from behind, shouting: "The king of the party! Adou mud! Stay! No further entry! ”

He Bayue was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, it was Yuwentai who rode after him, raising his hand and shouting. Before he could speak, Yuan Tianmu first roared angrily: "Yuwentai! Why? Is this to disturb the hearts of our army? ”

He Bayue knew that Yu Wentai was calm, and there must be a reason for speaking like this, so he persuaded: "The king is angry, you might as well listen to the black otter." ”

He Bayue is now a prince under Er Zhurong, and his face still has to be given, Yuan Tianmu held back his anger and pulled the horse's head with his strength, and the three armies stopped.

Yu Wentai stepped forward and hurriedly said the reason: "The guide came to report that it was the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, and there were three heavy rains in a row. Today, he looked at the surrounding terrain and saw that the water vapor in the mountains was filled with water vapor and the ravines on the ground were turbulent, which was a precursor to a flash flood! ”

From ancient times to the present, Funiu Mountain is known for its rainfall and frequent flash floods. The guide lived here and was very experienced, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he came to report it urgently.

Yu Wentai continued: "The guide said that the Songgao River is ahead, and every time a flash flood occurs, it will soar tenfold, and the people and animals around it will be washed away. Our... Don't go any further! ”

Yuan Tianmu's face was cloudy, and he had the intention to retreat to avoid the flood, but he was afraid that if the flood did not come, he taught him to let go of the white-robed thief in vain, and he didn't regret his death when he turned around?

Since Yuwentai came to vote, He Bayue has always relied on it, although he was unwilling at this time, he still chose to support Yuwentai: "When the torrent comes, it swallows the sky and devours the earth, and manpower is invincible." Lord, Mo Ruo retreats. ”

Yuan Tianmu groaned undecided.

Hou Mo Chen Yue was eager to make meritorious contributions, so he stepped forward at this time and said in a strong voice: "What kind of torrents, I don't think it's a big deal." The white-robed thief is not afraid, how can I be afraid of it? ”

Yu Wentai was angry and said hurriedly: "Ah Yue, don't mess around!" You and I have lived in the north for a long time, and we have never seen the power of the torrent, how dare we take it lightly? ”

Hou Mo Chen Yue sneered: "If the black otter is afraid, then retreat obediently." But I'm not afraid, it's better for me to lead an army forward, and stop the white-robed thief if I say anything! ”

On the side, He Bayue was furious, and the halberd pointed at Hou Mo Chen Yue, and shouted: "You closed the bird's beak for me!" ”

Hou Mo Chen Yue's face was red, and he stepped aside. A pair of eyes swept over Yu Wentai and then over He Bayue, all with hatred.

At this moment, there was a loud bang on the hillside on the right, and the sound of clattering was endless.

Everyone was taken aback, and when they looked up, they saw a turbid current rolling down the hillside in the distance, mixed with gravel and mud, broken wood and stumps, and it was unstoppable. Later, the whole rocky slope was covered with mud and sand, and the mud flow was turbulent, turbulent and trembling, so it was not scary. Fortunately, it is far away, and it cannot be affected here for a while.

The Wei army changed color from top to bottom, and Yuwentai shouted, "This is just a small mudflow." If the torrent comes, it will be ten times and a hundred times this! Hou Mo Chen Yue's face turned pale, and he no longer had the heart to say big things.

Yuan Tianmu didn't hesitate any longer, and shouted angrily: "Retreat!" Retire! ”
