Following the old man's fingers, Zhang Liao looked up and saw a huge gray-black cloud in the sky. Faintly, the clouds seemed to be rolling. Zhang Liao's eyes widened, and when he saw it with all his eyes, his face couldn't help but change sharply!

The cloud was indeed rolling, and it was rolling away with a momentum that crushed the heavens and the earth. Look in that direction, it's coming this way.

"Not good!"

Zhang Liao sat on the back of the horse with a deep face, and when he looked around, it was a wilderness, and there was not even a place to hide! If it's a blizzard, then the situation is over!

"Where's the scout!?"

After a while, the scout came to Zhang Liao.

"Within a radius of fifty miles, can there be hills, grassy slopes and other topography?"

Although Zhang Liao's face was calm, he was not impatient. The mood of the general affects the morale of the soldiers to a great extent, and if Zhang Liao is flustered, there will be some accidents. Although with the discipline of the Youzhou Army, this kind of thing is unlikely to happen.

When the scout heard this, he pondered for a while, and said, "General Qiyu, there are no hills and grassy slopes within fifty miles. However, there are several large potholes not far from Lake Bega, which appear to be dry pools. ”

Although the scout didn't understand why Zhang Liao wanted to ask about the terrain, he still told him what he knew.

"Hmm" Zhang Liao's face remained unchanged, but his heart turned a thousand times.

"Look at the speed of the clouds, it will take at most an hour to reach here, if there is no place to hide, this army of 10,000 people may not have hills and grassy slopes, and the earth pit will not be too close to the big lake, if the storm is too violent, the lake will be swept up and flow backwards."

Zhang Liao thought for a moment, and immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind to go to the dirt pit!

"The herald ordered the army to march quickly, and within half an hour they must reach the pit on the shore of the lake fifty miles away! Those who have straggled, slash! ”

"Whoa!"

The army rushed like a black torrent to Lake Bega.

Half an hour later, Zhang Liao stood in front of the earthen pit.

There are three huge earthen pits, each of which is about three or four acres in size, and the deepest part is about one zhang, several large earthen pits are connected together, and there are many small earthen pits scattered around.

The pit was completely dry, and there were many shriveled fish carcasses at the bottom of the pit, clinging to the dirt.

This is supposed to be a group of pools that have dried up due to the dry season in winter.

Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were near! A dull feeling of depression slowly hit his heart, Zhang Liao's heart sank, and the storm came faster than he expected!

"Herald! The army is divided into three parts, enter the pit! Using the tent as a container, fill the excavation pit with earth, and place it on the edge of the pit on the west and north sides as a wall! The whole army is ready to act! ”

"Whoa!"

At the order of the general, the soldiers immediately moved. More than 3,000 people jumped down from each pit, those who took tents took tents, those who dug the dirt dug the soil, and the ping-pong worked!

"General, is it a storm?" If the deputy general can't see the clues, he is not worthy of being selected by Zhang Liao as a deputy general. Along the way, there have been many storms, but the scale is not large, and when the storms were encountered before, there was also a favorable terrain to cover them, and this time the deputy general raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his face was full of melancholy.

Zhang Liao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This place is flat grassland for fifty miles, and there are no hills and grassy slopes, so it can only be like this!" As he spoke, he pointed to the huge dark clouds that were rolling more and more in the northwest sky, and said, "Looking at the situation, the storm must be not small. If there is no place to hide, our army will inevitably be scattered. With such weather and such a desolate location, as soon as the army is dispersed, it will be over! ”

"So the general used the military tent as a container and poured mud to block the water of the lake that was poured out due to the storm?!" The lieutenant was stunned.

"Not bad."

As he spoke, a breeze suddenly rose in the wilderness, and it became more and more violent! To Zhang Liao's surprise, this storm came too quickly!

"Quick! Fast! Get the fighters up to speed! ”

Zhang Liao saw that the earthen wall had not yet been completely built, and he couldn't help but become anxious. Immediately jumped off the warhorse, handed the reins to the lieutenant general, kicked his feet, flew down the dirt pit, and helped the soldiers dig the soil and fill the mud!

"Three left, hurry!"

"Two! Two! ”

"That's it!"

Whining

In the distance, a huge tornado connects the sky and the earth, and there is little white smoke around, just like the mythical Buzhou Mountain, and the momentum is violent and majestic! Everywhere the tornado passed, the turf on the ground was flying, and the sand and stones were bursting out, looking like the end of the world!

Zhang Liao gasped and shouted, "Hand in hand!" Get down! ”

The warriors shook hands and joined each other, and they all fell to the ground! A gust of wind blew overhead, cold, like a steel knife scraping bones, and pieces of goose feather snow flew down, making people cold from head to toe!

"Whoa!"

The tornado came, and the dense snow flakes poured down like an arrow array, and on the lake not far away, the waves suddenly raged, and the stirring sound was deafening!

Thousands of white lines poured from the surface of the lake, like thousands of horses, slapping on the shore again and again!

The white line is higher and higher, and it swells farther again and again!

Bang!

The great wave finally approached, and the huge wave crashed against the earthen wall that the warriors had built improvise, making a deafening sound, and everyone's ears buzzed!

The tornado is getting closer and closer, and there is a whining scream between heaven and earth, as if the ghost door is wide open and ten thousand ghosts are crying!

The waves in Lake Bega have risen from one zhang high to two zhang high, and now they are close to three zhang!

Rushing!

The huge wall of water hit the earthen wall, and then crossed the earthen wall, falling from the sky, like a mountain and a sea!

The icy water mixed with the snow flakes poured down, and the soldiers shivered all over, and their lips were purple and purple!

Bang!

"Not good! Collapsed! ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he looked up, only to see that on the edge of the pit not far away, two huge sandbags were swept over by the huge waves, and the torrent-like ice water rushed in!

"Plug it!"

Zhang Liao stood up, his whole body was full of qi and blood, dispelling the severe cold, only to see him take one arrow step after another, and in a few flashes he was in front of the torrent!

"Hah!"

Zhang Liao shouted, grabbed the tent sandbag at his feet, and threw it violently, just throwing it at the gap! Zhang Liao was about to let go, and concocted another sandbag in the same way, but then a big wave came, and the sandbag that had just been placed was almost overturned again!

Zhang Liao couldn't, so he could only resist this sandbag and shouted again and again: "Quick! Come on, put this sandbag on top too! Fast! Order the warriors to take turns and hold on to the sandbags, and don't let the sandbags fall, or we'll all be drowned! ”

The soldiers swarmed up, in groups of three or five, nailed to the back of the sandbags, and the waves came over, shaking the soldiers trembling all over! The strength of the waves was not enough to make the warriors succumb, but the harsh cold made them stiff and unable to exert their strength!

"Hold on! A team takes turns! Be sure to resist! Ahem"

A wall of water smashed, Zhang Liao was caught off guard, was poured a few mouthfuls of turbid ice water, and couldn't help coughing again and again.

Woooooooo

At this time, Tatsumaki has arrived!

A huge tornado ran over the surface of the lake, like a long knife, splitting the lake in two, and the silt at the bottom of the lake was almost visible! A huge wind blew over the heads of the warriors, and if they were not careful, they were lifted into the sky!

The soles of Zhang Liao's feet took root, the soles of his feet clung to the ground, and a pair of eyes squinted slightly, staring closely at the soldiers, ready to rescue at any time, although he couldn't see clearly.

Whew!

The wind blew, and several soldiers were blown up when they couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately, the temporary eyes of the next ones were quick and rushed up to stop him! There are also soldiers who are not well transported, but they are blown into the air and hidden in the dense snowflakes!

Zhang Liao's eyes were split, these were all soldiers he brought out with his own hands!

Zhang Liaoning wants them to die on the battlefield, and he doesn't want to be like this!

Zhang Liao jumped up violently, grabbed the two soldiers flying overhead, and made a thousand catties fall, falling into the mud.

"Fuck! It's endless! Zhang Liao burst into a foul mouth and looked at the tornado who was rolling on the surface of the lake and refused to leave, and scolded him, and the snow flakes poured straight into his mouth!

As if hearing Zhang Liao's curse, the tornado moved towards this side violently, making Zhang Liao's face pale with fright!

Luckily, Tatsumaki just played a sideshow and walked south next to the shore of the lake!

As the tornado progressed farther and farther away, the wind subsided, the lake leveled down, and the snow thinned out and became smaller.

Zhang Liao exhaled wildly and sat in the mud!

After a while, Zhang Liao got up violently and shouted, "Herald! Summons the whole army to assemble, quickly! Half a pillar of incense must be gathered, otherwise, chop! ”

Now the army is tired, cold and frightened, if you stay in this mud any longer, something will definitely happen!

Zhang Liao could not control the complaints of the soldiers, and immediately ordered the army to assemble.

Half a pillar of incense, all the warriors dragged their extremely tired bodies together.

"Adjutant General! Pick a thousand soldiers who still have physical strength, and give me to find the soldiers who have been blown away, and go! Zhang Liao rode on a horse in the appearance of a mud monkey and shouted: "The others will go with Ben!" Run! Don't be left behind! ”

Zhang Liao led the army and looked northeast.

The tornado comes from the northwest and goes south, so the northeast direction is not raging, that is, as long as you look northeast and go a certain distance, there is a dry place. Then the army set up camp and made a fire to keep warm!

As for the grain and grass, Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, is it possible for the grain and grass carried by the whole army to be preserved in that situation? But the first plan is to let the soldiers keep warm, wait for the cold to be driven away, and then pay attention to the matter of food and grass!

I ran for half an hour, and although no soldiers were left behind, they were almost dying.

Zhang Liao looked at the dry flat land not far away, sighed, and drank: "Set up camp on the spot and find firewood to keep warm!" The warriors cheered, and the bands scattered in all directions, and took the dried artemisia grass from the ground on the spot, and in a moment countless fires rose

By the time the adjutant general's thousand-man squad followed the traces of the army to the camp, it was already night.

"Is it statistically out?"

"About 800 people were lost."

"Didn't find it?"

"Only more than 200 were recovered, and the rest are nowhere to be found, presumably"

Zhang Liao's face was gloomy and dripping. The elite army in Youzhou was a fierce battle, and there were few huge casualties such as the loss of 800 people. And now he Zhang Liao has not encountered a single enemy, so he has lost 800 people, which is a great shame!

But Zhang Liao was depressed. In the face of the power of nature, no matter how Zhang Liao is, it is in vain!

"Huh" Zhang Liao pondered for a long time, finally took a long breath, lifted his spirits, and said: "The grain and grass are lost, the soldiers are tired and hungry, this problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise" Zhang Liao showed a wry smile again: "The whole army is annihilated, how can you tell me to go back to see the prince with the face!?" ”

"Adjutant General" Zhang Liao looked at the tired adjutant general, shrunk the words in his mouth, but said: "You rest first, General Ben will go out to pick out some soldiers with good physical strength, and solve the food first!" ”

By this time, the snow had spread to the camp.

Zhang Liao took the selected 1,000 soldiers and walked aimlessly on the grassland in the dark night for most of the hour, and finally almost became disheartened!

"Damn tornado!"

Zhang Liao scolded and scolded, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Lake! ”

Immediately, Zhang Liao led his army straight to Lake Baiga.

When he arrived at the lake, he asked the soldiers to raise their torches and probe around, Zhang Liao looked at Baijia Lake but frowned deeply.

"Those who know how to fish are out of the ranks!"

Zhang Liao thought for a moment and turned around.

Suddenly, more than a dozen people stood up.

Zhang Liao's face was happy, and he said: "The army's grain and grass are soaked in silt and are no longer edible, and General Ben thinks that only this lake can save the army's life." So you see, how do you get fish out of the lake!? ”

More than a dozen people, you look at me, I look at you, and finally one of them stood up and said, "General, if you want to catch fish from this lake, you might as well have no boats, but you can't do without fishing nets!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

The rest of the dozen or so nodded their heads.

"Fishing net" Zhang Liao had a calm face, looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "What do you think of this tent?" ”

"Tent!?" A thousand clubs set their sights on the tents built there filled with dirt.

"Punch some holes in the tent and use it as a fishing net, and you're done!"
