In the camp of the Song army, the soldiers dragged their tired bodies and fell in the military tents, and those who were injured recovered quickly under the treatment of the military doctors. ∈ 8∈8∈ Reading ∈ Books, .≦.o≧()

Bitter fighting, vicious fighting, it is not enough to describe the battle between the two armies of Song and Zheng under Shiyan City.

The casualties of the Zheng army are not clear to Song Qi and others for the time being, but on the side of the Song army alone, there are 50,000 people who died under Shiyan City.

Otherwise, veterans like Song Qi and Yuan Muchun are used to seeing remnants and fierce battles, and they will not be angry, let alone scolded.

Meng Kuo didn't speak, but he was even more indignant in his heart, and his anger was almost like an overflowing flood that drowned out all his other thoughts.

As the commander-in-chief, he personally led the most elite troops of the Song army to attack, and from the beginning of the first battle, he felt that in this war, the Song army would easily win.

It's a pity that with the help of powerful siege equipment, the Song army went forward one after another, but still did not succeed in conquering Shiyan City, but lost 50,000 elites and hundreds of engineering equipment in vain.

At this moment, although he was angry in his heart, he knew very well that no matter what happened, no matter how bad the war was, as a coach, he could not let anger drown his reason, otherwise, it would be a very terrible thing.

After pondering for a moment, Meng Kuo tried to recall the shortcomings in the daytime war, and strive to find out the shortcomings, and then improve the deployment in the next battle to capture the city.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Song Qi and Yuan Muchun, who were resting on the chair with warm and angry expressions, and asked the two: "In today's battle, Xing Yike is guarding the West Gate, what about Ju Wentai, since last night, it seems that Ju Wentai has not been seen again, is he at the East Gate or the North Gate?" ”

During the break, the two of them, hearing the sound, suddenly cheered up, if Meng Kuo didn't say anything, they hadn't realized the existence of Ju Wentai, after all, they were still struggling with the war in the daytime.

"The East Gate Guard is definitely not Ju Wentai!" Yuan Muchun affirmed.

Song Qi's blood-red eyes suddenly became bright, and he said suspiciously: "Hearing you say this, the North Gate guard doesn't seem to be Ju Wentai, this guy must find out quickly when he goes there, otherwise there must be a problem!" ”

Ju Wentai was the defeated general of the Liang State, but he defected to the Zheng State and had irreconcilable contradictions with the Song army.

If the two sides fight, it is usually extremely tragic, and today, defending Shiyan City, Ju Wentai changed and appeared, but he did not appear.

A general who is good at planning and decisive, when the war starts, sudden news is always an unreassuring thing.

At present, everyone suddenly noticed that they couldn't find any trace of Ju Wentai, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

On the frontal battlefield, Shiyan City was not captured from the Zheng army, and if Ju Wentai led his troops to attack secretly, the Song army would be unable to defend itself, and the situation would be even worse.

At this time, Song Qi rubbed his tired cheeks and warned: "From Liang Guo to Zheng Guo, I have fought Ju Wentai many times, he is more powerful than Xing Yike, he is simply a cunning loach, in the case of a fierce battle between the Zheng and Song armies, you must quickly find Ju Wentai's traces, otherwise it will be like a fish in the throat, which makes people uneasy and unhappy." ”

Meng Kuo nodded, and said to Cao Kun, the deputy general beside him: "Send out the soldiers who are trapped in the camp, while looking for Ju Wentai's traces, and on the other hand, cheer up to prevent the other party from attacking the camp at night." ”

At this time, dozens of miles away from the camp of the Song army, near the east of Yue Yan City, where the Yue Ya River shuttled, Ju Wentai led 10,000 Zheng troops, taking advantage of the fog last night, to lurk here for a full day and night.

In the Yueya River, they built a simple barrage, which is not very high, but it is constantly being built, which seems to have the intention of digging up the river.

Choosing here, one of Ju Wentai's goals was to directly flood the Song army camp downstream, although it was difficult to achieve, he had to work hard.

The Yue Ya River is not the most abundant river in the land of Zhengxi, and compared with the Luo River that passes through Luoyi City, the two are not at the same grade at all, but the water flow of the Yue Ya River still supports the water of the people of Yueyan City, Shiyan City, and Taiyan City, as well as the irrigation of the surrounding fields.

Speaking of which, the water flow is not weak, and in the rainy season, it can even cause floods.

The barrage dam was built last night, and during the day, taking advantage of the rising fog, the river water was enriched, and the simple dam was lurking, no matter how you look at it, there are endless dangers lurking.

It's like a tiger with full strength, when the time is ripe, it completely bursts out and gives the most fatal blow to its prey.

Ju Wentai led his troops to lurk nearby, and after the Song army gathered downstream, he would quickly destroy the barrage, so that the river water that had been stored for a day and night would be discharged from the flood to cool down the Song army, so as to prevent the other party from being too irritable and treating Zheng Jun as a vulnerable child!

At present, he did not know how long Xing Yike would lead the army in Shiyan City, and whether Shiyan City would be broken, these were difficult to predict.

However, according to the pre-plan between him and Xing Yike, no matter what the battle in Shiyan City was, after nightfall, when the Song army was all rested, and quickly dismantle the dam upstream, it would cause as much damage to the Song army as much as it could, and then the two would have other measures.

It's getting late, it's quiet in the dead of night, lurking near the dam, the temperature is a little cool, and the breeze blowing will make people shiver.

"General, news from Shiyan City!" In the night, the cavalry coming from the east stopped by the river, burrowed into the grass, found Ju Wentai's trace, and whispered in his ear.

Hearing this, Ju Wentai said bluntly: "Say! ”

"Shiyan City, in the first battle of the day, the Song army failed to capture the city, but the Zheng army is very serious, there are as many as seventy or eighty thousand people!"

"The casualties are serious, and within expectations, General Xing has contributed a lot to the Song army's strong onslaught of the Mechanized Corps to keep Shiyan City." Ju Wen praised that if he defended the city, he might not be able to fight to the death.

It's just that it's easy to catch up, seventy or eighty thousand soldiers, and the casualties are too great.

This is still the first day, the Song army failed to attack the city, there will definitely be more serious retaliation, the second wave, the third wave .... And even more.

With the Song army's offensive, can the Zheng army stop it?

Fortunately, a dam was built on the Yueya River, otherwise, Zheng Jun would definitely not be able to stop it.

"General, when to choose to fight back?" The guard next to him looked at Ju Wentai and asked.

Ju Wentai looked up at the gray sky, then looked at Zheng Jun lurking in all directions, nodded, and said, "Let's start, right now." ”

Hearing this, the guard suddenly stood up from the grass and shouted, "Action, destroy the dam!" ”

With a shout, Zheng Jun lurked on all sides, all of them got up, and for a while, the grass flew and people moved, and they dragged the thick ropes of their arms in their hands, and they all dragged downstream.

With a whirl, the levee was destroyed, and the flood water gathered was like a wild horse, down the river, and everywhere it passed, it was a swamp.

Meng Kuo sent people to search for Ju Wentai's traces, and after that, he studied the next tactics with Song Qi and Yuan Muchun, and everyone resolutely prepared to fight Zheng Jun to the death.

When fighting again in the coming day, we must rely on stone throwers and three-bow bed crossbows to seriously consume the vitality of the Zheng army, as long as the number of Zheng troops is reduced, the next problem will be much simpler.

Otherwise, the Zheng army fought to the death, like an outlaw, and the Song army fought desperately with it, and there was no advantage at all, after all, the strength of the Zheng army was unexpected, and the Song army fought with it in close combat, completely taking advantage of its own weakness to compete with the opponent's advantage.

After making up their minds, Meng Kuo and the three of them went to rest separately.

A day of death, especially Song Qi and Yuan Muchun personally engaged in the battle, the two were exhausted, sleepy, lying on the couch, in the military tent, and soon there was a whirring sound.

But he didn't realize that in the upper reaches of the Yue Ya River, Ju Wentai sent people to break the barrage, rolling floods, raging waves, and overflowing the river bank, like a greedy beast, engulfing all living beings along the way.

Go straight to the Song army camp stationed in the lower reaches of the Yueya River.

In the military tent, after a hard day's fighting, the Song army soon fell asleep, and even those patrolling soldiers were in a very bad spirit, holding the weapons in their hands, their eyes were hazy, as if they had not slept or fell asleep

At this time, there was a commotion and a loud running water in the distance, and those half-awake and half-asleep patrolmen quickly cheered up and looked up.

They didn't know what was going on, so they quickly leaned on each other and discussed with each other, but everyone only heard the sound of squirming, and the discussion was still fruitless.

Soon, there was a click, and there was a sound from the west side of the camp, as if something had collapsed, and the patrolmen quickly became vigilant and headed for the west side of the barracks.

However, after a few steps forward, there were sounds of astonishment from the west side of the camp, breaking the silence under the night sky, and then, all kinds of panicked sounds sounded, and the frightened patrolmen stood in place, not knowing what was happening, but saw that the military tent on the west side began to float.

Then, someone suddenly shouted, "Flood, flood...!" ”

In the confusion, before the words were finished, they were completely cut off, needless to say, and they were drowned by the flood.

For a while, in the entire camp, from west to east, there were more and more screams.

Tired Song Qi, Meng Kuo, Yuan Muchun rushed out of the military tent in a panic, carrying war knives one after another, and their clothes were disheveled, all of them Zheng Jun took the opportunity to kill.

Looking at the situation outside, Meng Kuo shouted anxiously: "What happened? ”

"Will... General, there is a voice from the west, it seems that there is a flood, hurry up and find high ground to hide! The soldier stammered, but he heard the soldier shouting, and then suddenly there was no sound.

Flood?

Hearing this, Song Qi, Meng Kuo, and Yuan Muchun's expressions drooped down one after another, in the late autumn, the weather was dry, how could there be a sudden flood?

"It's not good, Ju Wentai, retreat!" Song Qi was the first to come back to his senses and shouted violently.

Before, Meng Kuo asked Ju Wentai about his whereabouts, and everyone didn't know where the other party was, even if they sent someone to look for it, they still found nothing, and now there was a sudden flood, and Song Qi couldn't help but come to his senses.

Last night, Ju Wentai probably took advantage of the foggy weather to lead his troops to avoid the Song army spies and went directly to the western front.

The current flood must be related to the other party.

However, Meng Kuo grabbed Song Qi and Yuan Muchun, who were about to flee, and shouted: "Lord Wang, General Yuan, calm down, this season, the flow of the Yue Ya River is limited, even if the Zheng army is intercepted upstream, in a day and night, the amount of water gathered will definitely not be too much, and how much water will there be when it arrives at the barracks?" ”

Meng Kuo's expression was very calm, he was not afraid of the flood, and he was even more worried that Ju Wentai would take advantage of the flood to secretly attack the camp.

The chaos in the camp just allowed the other party to succeed.
