At dawn, the men in the barracks began to get busy, although for most people these days, there is no such thing as breakfast, but the generals at all levels get up in the morning to eat something to pad their stomachs, and no matter how bad they are, they have to drink some hot water or wash their faces with hot water, so they have to start boiling water and cook as soon as dawn. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because the Hengpu water flows from northeast to southwest, Chen Jun set up a village on both sides of the Hengpu water and connected it with a pontoon bridge.

Several men walked out of the camp with large wooden barrels and went to the river to fetch water, but they slowed down as they walked, until they finally stopped and looked at the river and talked about it.

"What's wrong? Why don't you fetch water? ”

The little leader who followed behind shouted, seeing that the sky was getting brighter, if they didn't fetch water, they would be unlucky if they delayed Shangguan's water for a while.

"Boss, the water is not good, something is wrong."

"What does it mean to be bad to fight? What's wrong? One stop to the river... Ay? ”

The little leader's voice stopped talking abruptly, because he saw that there was something wrong with the water in Yokoura: the water level was very low, in stark contrast to yesterday.

Last night, before making dinner, it was very convenient for the men to go to the river to fetch water, and the water level of Yokoura Water was also normal, but now because the water level is obviously low, if you want to fetch water, you have to go to the large mud exposed on the shore.

Not to mention that the mud by the river will stain the feet, it is wet and slippery and easy to slip, and people carry buckets full of water, where can they walk back to the shore safely.

"Stupid, get on the pontoon, go to the middle of the pontoon bridge to fetch water!"

"Oh."

The men came back to their senses and walked to the pontoon bridge to draw water, which was set up to connect the camps on both sides of the strait, and the reason why the camps were built on both sides of the Hengpu water was to guard against the attack of the northern captives.

The Dazhai erected by Chen Jun to reinforce the Great Yuling is located on the north bank of Hengpu Water, so the Wuji Village in its northeast direction is naturally on the north bank of Hengpu Water.

But the downstream Shixing City is located on the south bank of Hengpu Shui, and the Wuji defenders have to take care of the south bank, so as not to really have the Zhou army to come, rush to the south bank to confront each other and then send troops to go downstream on the south bank, and Shixing will have some trouble.

Therefore, in order to take into account both the north and the south, the Chen army set up stockades on the north and south banks of the Hengpu water, and the pontoon bridge connecting the two villages not only facilitated the mobilization of troops and horses, but also a chain across the Hengpu water to prevent people from attacking from the waterway by boat.

Of course, it is also convenient for the guys to fetch water.

The water level suddenly drops and you can't get water? Then let's take the pontoon bridge and hit the river in the center of the Yokopu water!

The so-called urgency makes wisdom, the little boss couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, he felt that he was too smart.

Each bucket was filled with water, and the men carried the water back, and no one thought about why the water level had dropped suddenly, because they were only responsible for fetching water, and what did they want to do?

On the watchtower, the sentry was changing the guard, the soldier who had stayed up all night yawned and went downstairs, and the sleepy-eyed replacement climbed the stairs up, and when he was about to climb to the top, he heard a "bang" in his ears.

Following the prestige, outside the north side of the camp, there was something flying towards him, it seemed to carry flames, and before he could come back to his senses, the thing passed by the watchtower, drew an arc over the camp, and landed in an open space in the camp, splashing some sparks.

Some of the early soldiers in the camp were startled by the movement, and before they could react, several fireballs flew in from outside.

"Enemy attack!"

The shrill sound of gongs, the sound of trumpets, and the dawn of dawn was the time when people were at their sleepies, and many soldiers were awakened from their deep sleep, and rushed out with weapons before they had finished their clothes.

In order to prepare for the envisioned enemy attack, the soldiers of the Chen army can be said to be waiting for the rest of the day when they sleep, and the weapons are all placed by their side, so they can run out with their weapons as soon as the gong sounds, and after a while, a large number of soldiers rushed to the camp fence and began to be on guard.

There were also people preparing all kinds of war equipment in the camp, and everyone raised their mental vigilance for a while, but found that there was no movement outside.

In the morning light, the woods on the north side looked black and oppressive, as if thousands of troops were hidden, but even if there were real ambushes, if they wanted to get close to the camp, they would have to pay a price.

The gap between the camp and the woods had been cut down into an open space, and if the enemy wanted to approach, nearly a hundred paces away, the Chen army's crossbowmen could shoot arrows to kill the enemy as much as they wanted.

The premise is that there is an enemy, and now there is not even a figure outside the camp.

The Chen soldiers in the north and south villages watched outside behind the camp fence, holding various weapons in their hands, but many people were thinly dressed and shivering in the cold wind, and after a while, sneezes came one after another.

Some people wanted to go back to the camp to add clothes, but they didn't dare to leave without the general's order, so they could only struggle, and a general was thinking about whether to let the soldiers take turns to go back to add clothes, but he felt that something was wrong outside the camp.

What's wrong? I can't say it, but I feel something is wrong when I look outside.

The guard walked up to the camp fence and looked at the outside of the camp with a frown, he had heard the introduction of his subordinates just now, and it seemed that someone was attacking and harassing him, in order to disturb the morale of the army.

"Is there any news from Jiudu?"

"There is no news from General Wang's side."

Under the section, it is the title of the lower-level general to the senior general, which is more respectful than the general title of "general", and the guard general looked carefully at the outside of the camp, and suddenly his face changed:

"What's going on with Yokourasui? Why did the water level get so low... Ah, there are people building dams upstream to stop the water, it is a water attack! ”

As soon as the words fell, a huge roar was heard from the upstream, and it seemed that thousands of troops and horses were rushing towards this side with all their might, and many birds suddenly flew out of the woods, gathered in flocks, and flew into the air in panic.

The earth was trembling, the soldiers of the Chen army on the camp fence only felt that their feet were shaking, and the guards roared hoarsely and "run to a high place", but for a while, where could anyone react, many people were overwhelmed by the loud noise.

The reason why Chen Jun set up a village by the water, the first consideration is to defend Wuji and block the Hengpu water, and the second is to facilitate the access to water, that is, to ensure that there is a water source.

The Chen Jun water village on the north and south banks is at a higher place at the water's edge, one is to prevent the water level from rising sharply after the rainstorm and the camp is soaked, and the other is to prevent the upstream from being attacked by water, but in fact, no one thinks that there will be a water attack in the upstream, because the water in Hengpu is very wide, and if you want to build a dam to stop the water, it is not a day.

Not to mention that there are still their own troops camped upstream, and there are really enemy troops to attack, and the Wuji village downstream has plenty of time to deal with it, and as a result...

Yesterday evening, the water level of Hengpu water was still very normal, why was it dammed overnight, and there was a water attack in the early hours of this morning?

"Big water, so big water!!"

In the exclamation, Chen Jun looked at the upper reaches of the Hengpu River, only to see the dense forests on both sides of the river falling down one after another, and vaguely you could see the white water spreading, like a long knife sweeping head-on, swallowing up trees and stones everywhere it went.

The blade of this long knife is so wide that it can already affect most of the areas of the camps on both sides of the strait.

Seeing the roaring water in front of them, the soldiers woke up like a dream: "It's a big flood!" Run! ”

Many jumped off the barracks and ran towards the nearest height, the site of the tent, the highest point in their camps, which had been chosen with water in mind, and whether it was a flood or a torrential rainstorm that caused the river to swell, it was not easy to flood.

The soldiers rolled and crawled, rushing to the high ground where the camp they had just run out of, it was the only place where they could protect themselves from the catastrophe. Only...

Wait a minute! Could it be that the attack just now was deliberately done by someone? Is it to lure them down from the high ground to guard the fence?

There were few people who could figure out the key to it, and everyone desperately tried to run to the camp, but most of them couldn't run to it, because the flood had already arrived.

In the huge roar, the water overflowing both sides of the bank roared forward and swept away, washing away all the objects that were blocked in front of it, and the seemingly impregnable Chen army camp was swallowed by the water except for the high places.
