Chapter 1754: The Great Northeast (5)
As the night deepened, the campfires in the camp began to go out little by little.
It was almost dawn, but the awaited attack had not yet arrived.
What's going on? The deputy general who was ambushing the troops in the southwest of Shencheng couldn't help but become anxious, and from time to time he looked at the sky in the east, which had begun to faintly turn white.
At this moment, the lieutenant general, who was looking up at the sky, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then quickly fell to the ground and put his ears to the ground.
Faint tremors came from the ground, like the roar of a wild beast.
Then, the vibration became more and more intense, and gradually the roaring water could be heard without having to put your ears to the ground.
It's coming, it's finally coming, the attack of the Tatans is finally coming.
The lieutenant general was relieved at first, but soon became nervous again, and made a few gestures to the guards around him, signaling them to prepare for the flood immediately.
Although they had taken refuge on the other side of the city, the fire and water were merciless, and God knew how much water those Tatars had prepared for them, and if the flood was really too big, an earthen city would obviously not be able to stop everything.
And in addition to flood control, they also need to be prepared to attack, because after the flood, the people of the Devil will inevitably attack, and they will also give the Devil a big surprise.
……
At this time, in the northwest of Shencheng, a faint smile also appeared on the face of the black-toothed Changzhi.
For the generals, when the sky is known, the geography is known, and the human feelings are known! Although the people of the Tang Dynasty learned some of the art of war, they still did not learn deeply after all, and they left a flaw in the riverbed, and it was this flaw that determined their defeat.
Now everything only depends on the will of heaven, I don't know how many people they send to ambush, if the whole army is exhausted, I am afraid that this Shenyang will be their last stop.
……
The flood water, which had been accumulated for three days, rolled and rushed down, bringing up countless amounts of sediment.
The once clear and gentle waters of the river turned muddy and crazy, swallowing up everything that dared to stand in its way along the riverbed.
Countless animals drinking water by the river were swept up by the monstrous water and became part of the river, countless plants floated along the river, the simple bridges on the river were swallowed up in an instant, and everything became so fragile when the water came.
Finally, the flood came to the front of the camp of the Don Army, and it roared, roared, and frantically pounced on everything in the camp without any hesitation.
The sunken horse was swept up and thrown down by the river, and then turned into a pile of things in Zhimingtang, and the campfires, tents, and everything that had nothing to do with the earth were swallowed up by the roaring river.
……
The adjutant general who saw all this had cold sweat on his forehead, if it weren't for the fact that the black tooth Changzhi saw that the water level of the river was not right, and checked the plan of the people in advance, it is estimated that there are no more than a few people left in the 10,000 cavalry now.
Thinking of this, the adjutant general couldn't help but look to the north, that is the direction of the black tooth Changzhi, the task of this leading general is to be responsible for the rear road of the enemy army, leaving those who are ready to take advantage of the fire to rob the Tatar people completely, and his task is to block the front of the Tatar people, so that they have no way to escape, and finally surround these people on this muddy riverbed.
But why is it that the flood has passed, but the signal has not arrived? Could it be that something is wrong on the general's side?
After waiting for a long time, seeing that the sky was already bright, there was still no signal smoke rising in the northern sky, which made the deputy general start to worry.
However, the military order was like a mountain, even if he was nervous and hated to hit his head into the muddy water on the ground so many hundred and ten times, he still didn't dare to leave his current position, he had to wait, wait for the three dark green signal smoke.
……
And at this moment, the people of the Yan are also very anxious, and Da Zuorong is constantly scolding his mother.
After thousands of calculations, they forgot to calculate the problem of muddy roads after the flood, watching the war horses trudging the muddy riverbank, while the Tang army's camp was still ten miles away, Da Zuorong really wanted to give himself two slaps.
No, it can't be delayed any longer, if it drags on any longer, the Tang army will definitely come back to its senses, and when the time comes, a good ambush will be an encounter, or a pursuit battle, thinking of this, Da Zuorong shouted to the cavalry behind him: "Hurry, hurry up, throw away all the unimportant things, move forward lightly, quickly!" ”
"Hurry up, didn't you hear the chief's order, throw away all the useless things."
"Throw it away, just kill those Tang soldiers, there are a lot of good things for you to pick up, I'm afraid that you won't be able to pick it up when the time comes, why do you want it with those broken felts."
With Da Zuorong's order, someone below immediately urged, and under the knock of the leather whip and the back of the knife, many people lost the salute tied to the war horse and kept the knives and arrows they carried.
The speed of the march increased again, but not much, but this was already the limit, after all, the horse is not a warship, and you can't expect it to run faster in the water than on the ground.
……
In the telescope, the black tooth Changzhi could already see the shadow of the Evil Man, looking at the enemies who were trudging in the muddy water, the corners of his mouth habitually curled, and at the same time made a gesture to the guards behind him: "Order the troops, prepare to attack!" Three green flares are ready. ”
"Yes!" The guards had been waiting impatiently, and they almost jumped away after hearing his order.
There was not much time, and behind this small mound, the sound of the team headquarters assembly was already sounding.
……
The wait continued, but looking at the right hand that Hei Tooth Changzhi had raised, the adrenaline of the five thousand Tang Army had already begun to soar, although they didn't know what adrenaline was, everyone was always excited.
At this moment, it seemed that every breath was so long that people wanted to jump up and run behind those people to push them, to make him faster, faster.
"The whole army assaults, kill ......" Just when everyone was anxious and almost stared out their eyes, the people of the Yan people on the far bank of the river finally moved, and with an order, nearly 50,000 Yan cavalry suddenly increased their horse speed and rushed madly towards the Tang army camp full of 'corpses'.
And at the same moment, the right arm of the black tooth Changzhi fell fiercely: "Send a signal, the whole army will follow the general, kill!" ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "Whoa......
Clothes and armor collide, and the killing sound is shocking!
The red-eyed 5,000 Tang Army, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped on horseback, unsheathed their swords, wound their crossbows, and rushed out of the mound behind the black-toothed Changzhi, killing them behind the Ya people.
At the same time, the long-awaited green signal of the three lieutenants rose into the sky, signaling the beginning of the decisive battle.
