Chapter Ninety-Three: The Dragon King of Weishui
Hong Chengchou, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the roaring blizzard, and walked out of the big tent in shock, unable to open his eyes at all in the face of this rushing storm, he came out in a single suit, but after a short while, he felt cold hands and feet, and couldn't help but tremble!
How can a general not know the time and the place! This place is the cemetery that Hong Chengchou personally chose for Liukou, and he had already observed the sky, obviously the next ten days were sunny, but this critical moment suddenly changed the sky, which made Hong Chengen's heart sink and faintly have a bad premonition!
At that time, in order to seize the opportunity, Hong Chengchou took advantage of the time when the rogues divided his troops and plundered, and threw down his baggage to defeat hundreds of thousands of rogues in a row. Now he has tasted the bitter fruit, a snowstorm makes him feel extremely heavy, there is no winter clothes to keep warm, there is no firewood to keep warm, and even the army carries enough military food for three days, this kind of weather It is difficult for the soldiers to even get out of the camp, how can they attack the Liukou?
"Tell me that the people will come to my tent at once!" Hong Chengchou walked back to the big tent and instructed the herald.
Tonight's movement had already woken up the generals who had just finished calming the soldiers to sleep, and after a while, all the senior generals in the army came to Hong Chengchou's tent, and all the generals looked serious, and this sudden change in the sky made them all feel compassion.
"This official has already observed the celestial phenomena before, and it is clear that the next ten days should be sunny, such as today's elephant mutation, this official has concluded that it is the cult demon over there who casts a spell!" Hong Chengchou swept his eyes and asserted.
When all the generals heard Hong Chengchou's words, they all nodded.
"Since it's a demon casting a spell, then why should we worry, if we dare to cast a spell on my army, we will be counterattacked, I want to see how long those demons can last! And it is absolutely impossible for them to change the celestial phenomena on a large scale, I dare to assert that this blizzard can only affect these thirty miles at most, as long as the blizzard weakens after the army pulls out the camp and changes places! Hong Chengchou smiled disdainfully.
"Your Excellency has a point!" Seeing Hong Chengchou's indifferent appearance, the generals were finally relieved.
"My lord, if you don't take it back at night, there is an urgent military situation!" The guards outside the big tent said to Hong Chengchou.
"Let him in!" Hong Chengchou's heart tightened, his face was not obvious, and he still said calmly.
The tent was lifted, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making Hong Chengchou feel cold.
I saw a big man covered in wind and snow walk into the tent, knelt down and said to Hong Chengchou, "My lord, the small river behind us suddenly swelled, and the river level has changed from less than one zhang before to three zhang, and the river is still rising, and it is about to rise to our army camp!" And the last general and others vaguely saw that there seemed to be a dragon in the river! ”
Hong Chengchou stood up in surprise, "What! Hurry up and take the official to check! ”
The generals also hurriedly followed Hong Chengchou's footsteps and walked towards the river.
When everyone rushed to the side of the camp, the river had overflowed the edge of the camp, Hong Chengchou looked at the rising river with a gloomy face, it was his decision to build the camp next to the small river, with the small river as a water source, he didn't have to worry about the siege of the Liukou, and the small river was shallow and people could directly cross the river, but he never thought that now this small river gave him a fatal blow.
"Your Excellency, you see it's a dragon! This size should be a dragon king, right? A general pointed to the dark shadow in the river and exclaimed.
Hong Chengchou's expression was gloomy, he stepped forward and asked loudly: "This official is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of the Taibao, Hong Chengchou, I don't know which dragon king is in the river, why did the sudden flood flood our army camp?" ”
The huge dragon head poked out of the river, and the dragon king replied, "This king is the dragon king of Weishui, and the king of Shaanxi is in drought, of course, as a god, he wants to save the people, so let this Weishui tributary rise so that the people can draw water from it to fight drought, but I didn't expect to flood your military camp!" ”
A trace of anger flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes, and he asked suppressedly, "Since it was a misunderstanding, then please ask the Dragon King to receive the supernatural power first, and wait for a few days before the water rises?" ”
"Absolutely not, when the water rises is the king's business, you can rest assured that the king will control the water and will not flood your military camp!" The Dragon King of Weishui unceremoniously refused, and then plunged headlong into the water and continued to make waves in the river.
Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao said angrily, "My lord, this Weishui Dragon King must have colluded with the Liukou to deliberately make it difficult for us, please order the mobilization of artillery in the army, let this Weishui Dragon King know that it is powerful, see if he dares to be so arrogant!" ”
"In such weather, the bow and crossbow will not work, and the artillery will also be suppressed, not to mention that the dragon king is hiding in the water, and we can't help him! If he can't be killed with one blow, he will definitely tear his face and flood our army's camp, and now at least he won't dare to take the lead in making a move against our army! Hong Chengchou shook his head and vetoed.
"Alas! It's a pity that my uncle is not here, otherwise I will make the Dragon King regret it! Cao Bianjiao slapped his thigh and said in annoyance.
Hong Chengchou also regretted a little, Cao Wenzhao's reputation as the first good general in the Ming Season is naturally not in vain, if there is Cao Wenzhao, a warrior who changes the marrow realm, coupled with the suppression of the dragon king by the army, I dare not say that I can kill the Weishui Dragon King, but it is completely possible to scare him away!
Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart, cheered up again, and encouraged the generals: "Don't worry, this Weishui Dragon King will not dare to flood our army's camp, otherwise he will be investigated by the imperial court in the future." Besides, our army can defeat the Liukou even if it is not based on the camp, it is nothing more than a little more effort, and the soldiers near the river are transferred to a higher place, the water flow by the river is so turbulent, it is impossible for the Liukou to sneak attack from here, just send soldiers to be on duty at night, and then fight the Liukou after tonight! ”
The generals led the order to go, and there was a toss in the camp, and the officers and soldiers were exhausted from the attack for several days, and tonight there was a vision from the sky, and then I heard that the Weishui Dragon King caused the river to rise sharply, and a group of soldiers thought that their back road was cut off and couldn't help but feel confused, and the army's heart was unstable!
The overwhelming yin qi slowly invaded the camp through the dark night, constantly arousing the darkness and resentment in the hearts of the soldiers, and finally a seriously wounded soldier in the wounded barracks collapsed, only to see his eyes red and suddenly get up, pick up the weapon around him and kill people when he saw them, and let out a beast-like howl from his mouth.
In the dark night, more and more soldiers were affected by this emotion, lost their minds and began to kill people indiscriminately, and the entire military camp instantly became a hell on earth.
In the river, the Weishui Dragon King opened his scarlet dragon eyes and looked at the Ming army camp where the camp roared, the dragon showed a hideous smile on his face, without the suppression of military energy, how could he be afraid of this group of ants, only to see that the river suddenly surged into the barracks, and instantly swept away hundreds of Ming troops, and the Weihe Dragon King swallowed these soldiers into his stomach with a big mouth.
Then he comfortably reminisced, the human race is worthy of being the primate of all races, and it is most suitable as blood food, he has not been able to enjoy it so unscrupulously for a long time, and he can only secretly beat his teeth and sacrifice, and he is afraid of being discovered by the imperial court, and today he has to seize the opportunity to enjoy it.
At this moment, dense ghosts also emerged around the camp, these ghosts exude black resentment, undoubtedly they are all evil in life and become evil ghosts after death, these evil ghosts finally came from the underworld to the yang world, and there is so much blood and food in front of them, where can they still endure it, they all rushed to the soldiers in the barracks.
Hong Chengchou looked at the scene in front of him in shock, and couldn't help crying bitterly!
"My lord has countless evil ghosts attacking the camp, and now the front camp is full of evil ghosts, and those evil ghosts are about to arrive at the camp of the Chinese army, my lord, get on the horse, and I will protect my lord to break through!" Cao Bianjiao led his guards all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army, and came to Hong Chengchou and asked.
"No, the officer can't be withdrawn, the morale of the soldiers is already low when the battalion roars, the army will definitely collapse directly as soon as the officer withdraws, and there are hundreds of thousands of rogues outside, if there are not enough soldiers, even if the officer escapes now, how can he break out of the encirclement after that, come and call the soldiers who are still awake to come to the Chinese army camp, let's break through to the east after a stick of incense!" Hong Chengchou stabilized his mind at the critical moment and shouted.
