The sun was about to set, northwest of the valley, in the valley above the river, Ge Luofeng stood on a huge rock jutting out of the dense forest on the hillside, and his eyes looked through the mist of the valley in the evening to the green fields of Huadianba. But in fact, because the distance was too far, and the sparkling water flashed on the watery meadow under the sunset, and the golden light was dazzling, Ge Luofeng couldn't see anything.

In the dense forest behind Ge Luofeng, thousands of barbarian soldiers hid among the branches of the trees and waited quietly for orders. Soon after, there was the sound of 'tuk-tuk' knocking on the trees from the bottom of the hillside, and Ge Luofeng heard the sound and immediately retreated to the bottom of the woods, sitting on a futon made of vines on the river. A moment later, two brutes came out of breath from below the hillside.

"Meet the Lord." The two brutes said in unison.

Ge Luofeng leaned over and waved his hand and said, "Get up, say quickly, what's the movement?" ”

A brute soldier hurriedly said: "Report to the lord of the country, we lurked in the dense forest next to the Huadian Dam at the foot of the mountain, ** stopped at the crossing into the Huadian Dam, and sent people to check around for a long time, as if we were very cautious." Two of the horsemen were still running along the river towards the valley, and we broke out in a cold sweat. ”

Ge Luofeng frowned and said, "Tang people are so cautious? Could it be that something has been discovered? So they're not ready to camp in Huadian Dam? ”

Another brute hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the lord of the country. After all, the Tang people are stupid and arrogant, they were attacked by poisonous snakes last night, and they may not know that it was our means. The two horsemen did not find anything at all, and ran two miles to the mouth of the valley and turned back, knowing nothing. Moreover, when we came back to report, the ** brigade had already waded into the Huadian Dam and began to set up camp. We have come to bring this good news to the Lord. ”

Ge Luofeng slapped his thigh and laughed, "Okay." Sure enough, it was very stupid, and the incident of last night did not give him any warning. This Wang Yuan seems to be a guy who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, and he looks for death by himself, so it's no wonder that we can't blame us. The two of you will go to the newspaper again, pay close attention to the movements of **, and come back in time to report. ”

The two brutes agreed in unison, turned and moved swiftly.

Ge Luofeng stood up and said in a deep voice to the surrounding woods: "It's good for me, after dark, when ** is asleep, we will launch it and give them a catastrophe." You can eat something and take a nap now. ”

There was a shaking in the canopy of the surrounding trees, and heads emerged from among the leaves, nodding silently.

The sun sets so fast that it feels like it's disappearing behind the mountains in the blink of an eye. After the daylight disappeared, it quickly darkened. Soon, the woods were pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers. Outside the woods, too, it quickly turned into pitch black. Under the starlight, Lotus Peak and Baiyun Peak stood silently, and the Huadian Dam between the two peaks and the valley above it were shrouded in a dark fog.

In this dark night, dozens of black figures slowly and silently appeared under the dense forest where Ge Luofeng and the others were hiding, and they quietly came to the edge of the woodland below the hillside, lurking in the long grass.

"See? As I expected, there was a dam. Look, the water is all on the hillside. Ge Luofeng is very clever and very good at using the terrain to fight us. The river channel below the mountain was silted up so that the water could not flow out of the meadows of Huadian Dam, and then a dam was built in the valley to store water to stop the melting snow on the two peaks. Tonight we will camp there, and at night they will dig the dike, and the plains below will be an ocean. We will not be drowned, but we will also freeze to death. It's a bad idea. ”

A dark shadow pointed to the large expanse of water that shimmered in the starlight at the bottom of the slope and whispered in the ear of another person. It was Wang Yuan, Gongsun Lan Liujun, and dozens of guards who knew martial arts.

"It's really incredible, Ge Luofeng's methods are really endless, such an opponent is terrifying." Gongsun Lan nodded and said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "This is the reason why the Nanzhao barbarians can gain a foothold here. At the end of the day, this is their place, and we are the outsiders. I'm getting more and more interested in him, and if it weren't for our rivals, I'd love to meet him and talk to him. The terrain of mountains and rivers is used by me, and the poisonous insects and poisonous miasma are used by me, here he is the attacker, and we are the passive defensive side. ”

Gongsun Lan chuckled and said, "You don't want to be humble, don't you see through his plan?" I now understand why there is no one living in the green fields below, and there are no fields to cultivate. I think this must be a huge trap that Ge Luofeng specially opened up to defend against the attack. No matter who enters the Cangshan Mountain, the ground below is a camping spot they must choose, and Ge Luofeng can use this strategy to defend against the enemy at any time. It is impossible for the people of Nanzhao to live on the flat land below the mountain, because the dam must be very unstable, and if the rain is a little heavier, it may collapse automatically. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "You are very right, it is precisely for this reason. At this time, it is not the rainy season, and in May and June, it may rain every day, so the flat land under the mountain must be an ocean. ”

The two kept talking in a low voice, Liu Jun lay beside Wang Yuan and stretched out his head to look around at the dark mountains and forests, and finally interjected in a low voice: "Father-in-law, Ge Luofeng has to use water to attack the plan, and it takes a lot of manpower to dig the embankment, and there must be a lot of barbarians around here who are waiting for ambush. But I don't know where. ”

Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "That's nature, maybe it's lurking not far from us." The best time to burst the levee is in the middle of the night, when our army is asleep and everything is over when the flood comes. I don't think they should be waiting on the embankment at the moment, they should be hiding in the surrounding forests. So, I propose that we lie in ambush on the levee, and we can see them wherever they come out of the levee. ”

Liu Jun nodded and said, "What my father-in-law said is that let's wait for the rabbit." ”

Wang Yuan turned his head to Gongsun Lan and said, "But I still ask my cousin to make a hard trip and check on the embankment to confirm whether they are lurking on the embankment." Otherwise, they will be waiting for the rabbit. ”

Gongsun Lan didn't say a word, made a gesture and quietly came out, and disappeared into the night with a flicker. Liu Jun whispered enviously: "Aunt Gongsun's ability is really enviable. ”

Not long after, Gongsun Lan came back like a gust of wind and said in a low voice: "There is no one on the embankment, but it is very unstable, are you sure you want to ambush on the embankment?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "It is the best place, there is no choice. The army is encamped below, and we must make sure that this levee does not break. ”

Gongsun Lan nodded, Wang Yuan got up, waved his hand, and took fifty or sixty black shadows down the grass at the edge of the woodland, and followed Gongsun Lan towards the embankment not far away. The straddles the two hillsides, creating a barrier that collects all the water flowing down from above.

The width of the embankment is actually quite wide, at least more than three zhang wide near the hillside, and at that width it is a majestic dam. However, the further you go to the middle, the narrower the width becomes. When I got to the middle place, the narrowest part was only a zhang or a little wide.

Standing on the embankment is even more thrilling, with a white expanse of water on the left, reflecting the starry sky in the sky and looking deep and dark. The night breeze blows, and layers of light waves lap against the mud ridge of the dam, making a 'money' slapping sound. Even with such a small wave, every time it hits, it feels like the entire embankment is shaking slightly. But it is also the sound of these waves that makes the slight footsteps of everyone be muffled, so as not to appear noisy at night.

"The embankment is actually quite strong, and the grass grows under the feet, which means that the embankment has not been broken in the time being. But the barren land three zhang wide is the place where the embankment breaks. You see, it's all straw bales made of grass and rattan, and it's full of mud. The bale was still wet, which means that it didn't take long to plug it. I think it's probably been a gap that has only been closed in the last few days. This also explains why the meadow below is flooded. Previously, due to the blockage of the river, the melted snow flowed from here to the meadow but could not be drained, so it overflowed to the meadow. ”

Wang Yuan walked lightly around his cat's waist while pointing to the gap two or three zhang wide and spoke softly. Gongsun Lan and Liu Jun quietly followed behind him to take a closer look and nodded slightly. Wang Yuan observed very carefully, and it was true that the few zhang places in the middle were all made of straw bales. There is no hair on it, and it is very different from the grassy ground in other places. Apparently a gap that had just been plugged.

"If they want to break the embankment, they can only choose to directly open the gap. In other places, the embankment is strong and wide, so it is impossible to break the embankment in a short time. So we just have to hold on to the middle piece. On the right side is a very steep slope, and everyone lurks under the slope, and whoever comes to break the embankment will give them a head-on blow. Wang Yuan commanded.

Everyone nodded silently, and descended the slope of the embankment on the right, where the ditches left by the previous construction of the embankment, which were already overgrown with miscellaneous trees and weeds, which were suitable for hiding. Soon everyone found their hiding place, took off the bow and crossbow they were carrying, wound it, and waited quietly on the embankment on both sides.
