Volume I, Dongyi Tribe 97.The Second Eastern Regions War

The step-by-step cautious style can reduce a lot of risks, can avoid most of the conventional problems, but also less part of the flexibility and improvisation, the battlefield is not more than the exercise, it is a complex and changeable form, there will be emergencies at any time, then it depends on the coach's ability to play on the spot...

The current commander of the alliance army, Shang Hao, is out of this consideration, with his current strength, he can be bold, because in the face of such a big difference in strength between the two sides, it is definitely impossible for the other party to deal with it with a step-by-step routine, and the first war between the two sides has shown that Mu San is good at using some unexpected moves, so passive response is not the best choice.

Of course, this can't be said that Qi Shanghao's choice is wrong, after all, he has such a big hole card in his hand, and he can play steadily without being impatient, which itself shows that he does not despise his opponent, and some of Mu San's surprising moves may not have a good effect.

What will be the result in the end, you have to try the real battlefield to know, he is looking forward to it, Mu San is also looking forward to it, of course, the odds of victory in the hearts of the two are indeed very different, the prediction of the war trend before the war is also completely different, both sides want each other to enter their own rhythm, especially Mu San, for him, hard work can only be the final helpless choice, before this, he still has a lot of things to do.

For example, the enemy's march route on this road, although the alliance army has tried to avoid some seemingly unreassuring terrain, but they really can't afford to drag on the war, and some of the routes that will detour far away from a large area can only be hard-headed, after all, it is surrounded by the Taiyun Mountains, there are many mountains and forests, and it is inevitable, so only be careful to prevent being ambushed.

The five-day journey is urgent for the alliance army, and it is an opportunity for the Mu Imperial Army, they will not let it go, at least they can test the opponent's combat strength, so that they know each other, know themselves and know each other, in order to win a hundred battles.

So one day after the departure of the alliance army, Mu San who got the news also gathered all the soldiers of the Mu Yu army more than 300 people, everyone only brought three or five days of dry food, starting from Mu Yu City, facing the alliance army, the speed of the march was more than three or two times faster than the other party, according to this speed, the two sides should meet at a place three days away from Mu Yu City, where there is a big river that Mu San has long been optimistic about the lateral blockage, the current season, it is the time when the river is more turbulent, and it is impossible to reach it without three or two days of detouring downstream, For the Allied Army, they can only choose to force their way across the river, so they cannot give full play to the advantage of their troops, so it is a rare and good ambush point.

So they must rush here as soon as possible, compared with the two, the opponent is closer to the river than themselves, in case the opponent speeds up, arrives and controls the river before their own, then they will not have another chance, they can only choose to give up, the opportunity to race against time, the wooden army can only travel under the stars and nights, and cannot rest, for fear of missing this good opportunity.

Now Mu San can't accurately estimate the exact speed of the alliance army, he can only roughly understand from the information that comes back, even if there is only a one percent chance, he must go to one hundred percent effort, this is the first opportunity, the first opportunity that the commander of the alliance army will be steady and ignore the first opportunity.

It originally took three days to travel, and the Mu Yujun rushed to the mountains and forests not far from the big river in the evening of the next day, so far, Mu San must be careful, no one knows where the alliance army is, but after careful observation for a while, no clues have been found, which is good news for the Mu Yu Army, Mu San finally breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed for a day and a night, the soldiers of the Mu Yu Army were tired, although they couldn't bear it, but now they can finally catch up, and the tiredness is worth it.

In the middle of the night, after a short rest, with the help of the cover of the night, everyone quickly took action, some of them dived into the river under the leadership of Jin Chen, and dug some shallow places deep, and the bottom of the water was covered with sharp stones or other traps.

Jin Fang led the rest of the personnel all the way to the upper reaches of the river, striving to block the river overnight and store enough water, of course, this method may not work, first of all, the time is not allowed, but it is good to be able to use it a little.

Jin Fang led people along the way, and finally found a relatively narrow area upstream, which seemed to be relatively easy to block, but the water was deep enough to drown a person, and it was impossible to enter the water, and most of the people in the Eastern Regions were not good swimmers, so it was not easy for them to complete.

For a while, no one had a good way, Jin Fang tried to throw some boulders into the water, but it had no effect at all, this way is estimated that there will be four or five days and may not be able to block, it is all useless, such a good opportunity to give up is really a pity, Jin Fang can't, can only order someone to call Mu San.

In the process of waiting, Jin Fang felt all the surrounding environment here, faintly saw that the river surface was almost only four or five zhang wide, this distance is not big, it is not small, but it is impossible to pass smoothly, the height of both banks is slightly higher than the plane, the place where they are is a gentle slope of mountain rocks, the opposite side is not very clear, if the mountain rocks here can be filled into the river, maybe the big river can be directly cut off, but this is impossible, other places are in the mountains and forests, but the specific situation is not very clear.

Waiting for a long time, Mu San finally arrived, he didn't blame Jin Fang for not thinking of a good way, the position here wanted to be blocked overnight, it was impossible, and even a little blocking the bucket was impossible, people couldn't go down not to say, and the things that were dropped would be easily washed away by the current, and it was impossible to store water at all.

Mu San thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with a good way, he really couldn't do it, so he had to give up, but it was a pity to think about it, if time permitted, they could set up a big trap, not to mention that the opponent would hurt his muscles and bones, but he would definitely suffer a big loss, after all, he had to be surprising to win against a cautious opponent.

Suddenly, he felt a flash of inspiration in his heart, directly blocking it now seems that it is impossible, sometimes it is not possible directly, maybe it can be done in another way, and the goal can be achieved indirectly, he climbed high and looked into the distance with the help of the moonlight, although the dim mountain forest was not too far, but Mu San still found a slightly flat place, and it looked like a mud structure, and then to the back is a deep canyon, I don't know where it leads.

Walking in and taking a closer look, sure enough, some weeds were removed, the soil was relatively soft, more than 100 people could quickly dig a deep enough pit, and the terrain was relatively low, as long as a passage was connected, the water could be diverted, and it would be able to gain some time to build a dam, and then plug the new river channel, you could store water, and suddenly let go, I believe that it would be enough for the coalition army to eat a pot at that time.

Or you can re-dredge the diverted river to the upper reaches and increase the amount of water, but the time can't be too long, otherwise the enemy will find that the water is shallow when crossing the river, and he may not try it easily, these are possible, so any strategy requires a certain amount of luck, think of it, make it, whether it can have an effect, and the rest will be left to fate.

Originally, Mu San didn't expect to kill the enemy in a battle, although he would feel a pity if he didn't succeed, but he would not be discouraged, with such a mentality, the ideological burden was not so heavy, and the Mu Imperial Army team present under his command began a new round of hot preparations.

Just do it, it's not easy to change the river, and it doesn't seem too far away, but it's not easy to really dig it through, fortunately, Mu San has already prepared, it was originally to ambush the trap, and let the soldiers of the Mu Imperial Army prepare some tools in advance, with these things, the work can finally be simpler.

It was busy until the second half of the night near dawn, the new artificial river channel was finally basically completed, and it was almost the last key part of the last step to connect the big river, which was relatively far away from the downstream area, so even if they moved a lot, it was fine, and there was Jin Chen and other wooden imperial troops watching downstream, and any movement of the enemy was under the surveillance of his side.

Throughout the process, Jin Chen passed on information from time to time, including the location where the enemy's large army had arrived now, fortunately, Shang Hao's consistent cautious personality made him not act at night, and basically camped and rested after dark, which made Mu San feel at ease and bold, at this time they were only a short distance away from the big river, and they could arrive in the afternoon of the next day, which also gave Mu Yujun more time to prepare.

With a fierce cheer, the great river rushed smoothly into the new channel, and as the river rushed on, the mouth of the river became wider and wider, and the rushing water became more and more abundant, while the flow of the old river became smaller and smaller, until almost all of them poured into the new channel.

Standing on a high place, Mu San finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the plan now seems to be half successful, the flow of the old river is getting slower and slower, and gradually the riverbed appears, the soldiers of the Mu Imperial Army can't take a break, act again, flow into the big river, start to build a dam and embankment, and start the second step of the plan.

When the sun rose, the darkness was finally dispelled, and the Mu Imperial Army, who had been busy all night, could finally have a good rest, and the team of three hundred people was lying around on their backs, no one cared about the image, and some people had even begun to fall asleep.

Now it depends on the reaction of the alliance army, Mu San is still a little uneasy, at this time the river has gradually become much smaller, it is very easy to cross the river, the reason why Mu San asked Jin Chen to set a trap in the water is to try to dispel the suspicion of the other party, to cover up the final killing move, as long as the enemy dares to cross the river, then let him taste the taste of flooding, although it is a little cruel, but it is not enough to take care of these, and the enemy may not be fooled, it is really not possible to lure the enemy with his body.
