Under the dark night, the cloud curtain was heavy, and the sound of heavy rain resounded in the space where you couldn't see your fingers. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Sheng and his men stood beside the embankment of the creek he had built, staring intently into the distance to the south. Although he couldn't see anything clearly there, Li Sheng understood what the situation was there. It was the enemy's camp, and Li Sheng's every move during it was firmly grasped by the excellent Hou Rebuke in his hand. He knew that the people there were still asleep, and he didn't know anything about his side. They didn't know they were coming, and naturally they wouldn't have any defense against themselves.

"Actually, even if they find out now, it won't help if they have precautions. As long as they stay there, they will not be able to escape the fate of the loss. Li Sheng muttered to himself. He had seen the outcome of the battle tonight very well - the enemy would lose, but not perish, chaos, but not collapse. After all, no matter how much the water of a small stream is stored, it is impossible to flood 10,000 people at once.

"No matter, anyway, I just want to fold them for a while." Regarding the estimated results, Li Sheng always made such an indifferent appearance on the surface. In fact, in his heart, he was still slightly dissatisfied that it took such trouble to win over the enemy: "If I had five thousand men, I would have to make a surprise attack on the enemy tonight, and I would have completely destroyed them." Occasionally, he'd think so high-mindedly.

Of course, such an idea can only be regarded as an idea, and it does not help the facts at hand. Whether Li Sheng himself wants to or not, it has become an objective fact that he cannot destroy the enemy at one time. And Li Sheng can only accept this fact at the moment. He himself understands this.

Li Sheng's right hand tied with a strip of white cloth slowly raised high under the gaze of everyone, and then quickly waved it down, and then burst out: "Break!" ”

"Huh...... Hey! The soldier standing by the embankment shouted, and pulled the rope that bound the giant tree with all his might. Step by step, they drank the trumpet, dragging the giant tree little by little. Originally, it was just faintly oozing water, and the flow slowly became larger, and the momentum of rushing out was faintly visible. With another shout from the soldiers, the giant tree in the center of the embankment could no longer bear such a tug, and fell down at once. "Plop...... Plop" fell into the water as the soldiers let go.

"Rumbling...... Prosperous......! The sound of the stream suddenly became louder, and at once it drowned out the sound of rain in the sky. The water, which had been standing for two days, rushed downstream with the unobstructed passage of the road ahead, and at once it formed a tremendous force that broke the embankments made of trees, dirt, and stones, scattering them, and rushing forward with the waves that had only rolled in them with great ferocity. It was like thunder, and it was like lightning. Under this thunder and lightning, the originally narrow couch of the creek could no longer accommodate the huge flow of water at this moment. It can only be allowed to rise and swell, leaving a deep mark on the place it passes.

"They're terrible now." Looking at the rushing water, Li Sheng muttered to himself. He understood that it was now the best time to attack the enemy, so he quickly assembled his soldiers and gave the order for a general attack: "Kill me down there and use your blades to cut off the enemy's heads." Li Sheng said very rudely, he understood that soldiers do not know how to be elegant, and some seemingly rude words can touch their hearts the most. This is completely different from dealing with literati and scholars. Therefore, when Li Sheng led the troops alone and faced his soldiers, he often deliberately said some rough words and made some rough movements, and he used such actions to bring himself and his subordinates closer.

The horses followed the flowing water to the south. Because of the infantry in the ranks, the speed of the southward movement was not as fast as the current. Li Sheng also deliberately controlled the speed of the team's movement, in his opinion, it was better to attack the enemy's camp slower at the moment, and it was impossible to reach it before the water overflowed the enemy camp.

The water marched forward with a rumbling roar, and the sound of thunder resounded for miles. However, I don't know if it was because the Yellow Turbans slept too deeply, and knew that the front of the flood was very close to them, so some people were awakened in a daze.

"What happened?" They were puzzled, and some of them walked from the tent to the tent and looked up at the still low raining sky, and the strangeness in their hearts became even more: "Obviously there is no thunder?" ”

The crowd was puzzled. But the icy flood is pouring in here. The large amount of wood and stone mixed with the high flood peak slammed into the fence of the Yellow Turban Army camp. This powerful force was like a meteor falling from the sky, and it immediately destroyed the wooden fence of the camp, and quickly went towards the valley where the camp was located.

The water quickly overflowed. For the raging floods, the valley where the Yellow Turban Army is located is really their best catharsis. They poured in at a rapid pace, several monstrous peaks hit, and everything became unstoppable.

Gong Du was not woken up by the sound of the flood, but by the water that had already flooded his body. He had drunk a lot of wine because he was depressed in the rain, and he had slept soundly from the moment he fell. Of course, he didn't expect to encounter such a thing, so after he got up, he was still a little confused about the fact that his big tent was suddenly flooded.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked such a silly question like the bewildered creeps.

However, there was no one in the tent, and naturally he did not receive an answer. There was a faint noise in his ears, which made his head dizzy and painful. A slight feeling of uneasiness spread in his heart. He hastily put on his soaked shoes, put on his half-wet armor, and strode out of the tent.

His tent was located at the back of the valley. The terrain here was a little higher, originally just to get a better view of the camp ahead, but he didn't want this to be his lifesaver.

Standing in the open space of this rear camp, Gong Du looked forward with his eyes extremely forward. Although his current vision is still not very good because the rain in the sky has not stopped, he can still see some of the big movement that has occurred before.

"Where did the flood come from?" When he vaguely saw the white waves raging in his camp and countless soldiers struggling in the water, he suddenly felt that the little water under his feet was so cold. For a moment, his face turned pale suddenly, and he thought of a very likely scenario: "This water ...... Didn't the enemy put it down? ”

This is not speculation or delusion, but it is almost certain that the water in the creek has risen these days, and that if no one is standing upstream, it is not a very reasonable thing in itself under a heavy rain. Gong Du naturally knew that it was just because of his overconfidence in his army that he completely ignored one point. Thinking about it now, it is because of such an inconspicuous point that the current barracks are flooded.

"It's miserable." Gong Du blamed himself, but he couldn't save his comrades who suffered from the disaster below. It's not that he doesn't have this strength now, in fact, the soldiers under his Gong Du are still good. As soon as they discovered the abnormality, more than 2,000 of them quickly guarded the entire rear battalion. This made him very happy. He couldn't move because he had to focus on preventing a possible enemy attack for the time being. In his habitual thinking, no one seemed to give up attacking a target as chaotic as himself. After all, this is the easiest thing to do with greater results.

"I need to be calm. You can't panic now, you can't panic. Gong Du admonished himself. He tried to calm himself down, and then gave one command after another: "...... Divide 500 men to guard the grain and grass, pay attention to the surroundings, and do not let the enemy approach! ”；“ …… Bring 1,000 soldiers to the place where the front and rear battalions meet, do a good job of maintaining order, and properly attract our comrades-in-arms, but be careful not to let them rush in in a chaotic way, which will affect our current defense. ”；“ …… Go and get me Master Mao Ying, I urgently need his wisdom now. ”

"Yes......" The soldier bowed down and took the order, and soon brought a wet person to Gong Du - this person was the military advisor Mao Ying that Gong Du wanted to see.

Seeing the person with whom he could consult, Gong Du's pale face showed a slight smile of joy. He stepped forward to take Mao Ying's hand, stabilized his skeletal body, and hurriedly took him out of this place that was already knee-high and waterlogged, and came to the high place where the grain and grass were guarded against grain, and asked directly to the point: "Strategist, do you still have any views on today's situation?" ”

"Opinion?" A wry smile appeared on Mao Ying's face: "It's all like this, what else is important?" We were careless. ”

"And it does." Gong Dude's brows furrowed tightly again, the bitterness on his face deepened, he looked at Mao Ying, and there was still a trace of hope in his eyes: "So far, no matter how much you blame yourself, it will be useless." Although I have just given two orders, they are only to prepare for some possible crises. I was confused about what else to do in such a situation, but I didn't have any idea. For this, please ask the military advisor for more advice. He said very sincerely. In the case of asking Mao Ying, Gong Du suddenly felt that Mao Ying's appearance was so cute.

"Well, this one!" Mao Ying pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, the two orders given by the second master in front of him are very correct. This has largely calmed down the chaos. Although the enemy has come to attack us with stratagems and caused us such losses, one thing has not changed either before or after the attack. That is, we always have more troops than the enemy. The enemy has no possibility of completely annihilating us, and all they have done is to weaken our strength little by little in one attack after another. This is a trick and not a right path. Although such a trick is difficult for us to defend against, as long as we do our own good and take proper precautions, the enemy's attack will naturally have little effect. ”

"Oh? Is it enough to be prepared? Gong Du replied noncommittally. He pondered, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, he raised his head suddenly, but asked with a smile: "Mr. Mao, I have only heard that there are a thousand days to be a thief, but I have not heard of a thousand days to prevent thieves." If you are just on guard, you are afraid that you will be tired and tired, but you may not really be able to guard against the erratic enemy. ”

"The second master is smart. In general, this is true. If all the armies and units are now completely obeying our orders, then we really need to do our best to search for the enemy's traces so that our troops will not suffer even greater losses. But at the moment, our army is a contingent of various forces, large and small. Although everyone seems to have great respect for our appointments, in reality they are clearly going their own way. They are not descendants of our army, and they cannot be completely of the same mind as us. So why should our army do such a painstaking thing for them? We can defend the name of the middle and rear armies and spread their ranks all around. In the event of an enemy attack, whether their troops are engaged or chaotic, our troops only need to guard their camps and not be affected by their confusion. As for the battle, I am afraid that if all their soldiers and horses are consumed, our army can also win. After all, our army still has 5,000 people. Mao Ying smiled and told Gong Du the true meaning of his current plan - let those forces fight the enemy, as long as we can ensure that our losses are not large, we can sit back and watch them and the enemy fight to the point of losing both, and then we can easily win with a light blow.

"What a plan." Gong Du praised it when he heard this, and his face swept away the bitter look of Fang Cai's frowning, and he became a flying color.

"It's a good plan. But at the moment, you can't be too relaxed, and the second master can't be too proud. Mao Ying looked at Gong Du's smiling face, frowned slightly, and coldly poured a basin of cold water on Gong Du: "Although the second master sent the soldiers and horses to defend and made some preventive moves, but for now, it is still useless. To put it mildly, although the current training of our army is higher than that of the panicked group below, there is still a lot of gap between it and the enemy. If the enemy attacks with light cavalry, I am afraid that our army will not be able to eat and walk away. ”

"What's the point? It seems to be a bit asymmetrical with your preface. Gong Du's brows tightened again, and his words revealed his dissatisfaction with Mao Ying: "Could it be that we are so defensive that we can't hold the place now?" Master Mao, you can draw a path for me. ”

"Second master is in a hurry?" Mao Ying laughed slightly. His smile made Gong Du a little weird.

"Just say it." Gong Du urged.

"If you want to explain it now, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work. If the second master can trust me, then hand over the current command to me first. Time is running out, and a decision should be made sooner rather than later. Mao Ying thought for a while and said directly to Gong Du.

"Let you command?" Gong Du's heart tightened, and he stared at Mao Ying for a while, and saw that it didn't seem to mean anything else, so Shi Shiran agreed: "Then everything will be handed over to you." I'm going to see what the answer you give me is. As he spoke, he untied the long sword at his waist and handed it to Mao Ying casually: "Take it, use my sword to order the whole army." Those who disobey orders - behead! Although he had already understood that his current order could only mobilize the five thousand people in the rear battalion, Gong Du had already said how the whole army was. He still sees himself as the commander of the 10,000-strong team.

"Yes!" Mao Ying respectfully took Gong Du's sword, and her face was serious.

At some point, for example, now, Mao Ying always showed a deferential appearance, which made Gong Du very happy in his heart. He likes the way people whisper to him.

Mao Ying summoned Gong Du's generals. Except for the two who had already been assigned to the mission, everyone came. Because the rain was still falling and the flood was still rising, everyone had nowhere to sit, so they could only stand according to the main and secondary groups. They were all old men under Gong Du, and now that they saw the sword Mao Ying was holding in his hand, they naturally understood what was going on. They didn't say anything, they just saluted Gong Du and Mao Ying, bowed and stood aside, waiting for the next order.

Mao Ying, whose thoughts had been sorted out, knew the urgency of time, so he didn't say anything indifferent, but directly gave an order: "After General Qin Zhong led five hundred soldiers and horses to hide in the camp with more swords, guns, armor, and armor, if the enemy kills him, he doesn't need to fight with him, he just needs to make some noise behind the camp at the right time; General Thunderjaw led a thousand men to ambush in the camp, but when he saw the order sounded, he rushed out to pursue the enemy; The 1,500 men of the general camp were arrayed in front of the battalion, and they only needed to meet the enemy regularly and control the morale of the soldiers under him. ”

"No." The three of them took the token from Mao Ying's hand and answered loudly.

They quickly went down to prepare, and soon arranged them one by one according to Mao Ying's orders.

At this time, Li Sheng also led his team to shoot the horse.

He took the elite cavalry led by Zhou Rui and rushed directly to the north gate of the rear camp where Gong Du was located, and looked coldly at the enemy troops who were arrayed about ten steps away. He didn't stop. In order to ensure that he waited for the onslaught of the cavalry, he led his team back and forth in front of the enemy camp at a slight pace, allowing the horses' hooves to carry up the muddy water on the ground, and allowing the dull and powerful sound to shake the hearts of the enemy. This is also a kind of operation against the enemy, but such a battle is first and foremost aimed at the enemy's heart.

The horse kept running, and Li Sheng quietly watched the situation in the other party's camp. Although he couldn't get far because of the harsh environment, Li Sheng still faintly saw the danger hidden in the camp.

"Who's in command here? Why is there still an ambush in the camp? According to my information, this should be Gong Du's own camp, how could it be ......? He doesn't have that level. Li Sheng secretly wondered in his heart. He had information about Gong Du, so he naturally understood that Gong Du was not a calm general. He may have instinctively reacted at the moment of the blow, but he would never have made such a detailed arrangement in such a situation.

"Who accepted Gong Dude's troops? This enemy is much more clever than Gong Du. Li Sheng muttered as he found himself in a dilemma.

In fact, with Li Sheng's eyes, he couldn't see that the enemy on the other side seemed to be putting on a show.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side is also a battle-hardened team, and if even the ambush will show flaws in such an environment, it is too much to say. From this, Li Sheng judged that the flaws exposed by the other party were probably deliberately exposed for himself.

"Are they trying to intimidate me, or are they trying to seduce me?" Li Sheng shook his head in doubt, his heart full of uncertainty about this.

"What do you think? Rui. Li Sheng turned his head and asked his brother who had been following him.

"It's hard for the boss to decide on this?" Zhou Rui's eyes widened.

"Well, aren't you worried at all when you see the situation in this camp?" Li Sheng asked him, "The enemy seems to have been deliberately exposed, and I don't know if I want to go in and answer this appointment generously." If we assault, of course, we can crush these people in front of us, but what about after the defeat? There are no ambushes, just intimidation, that's certainly the best. If there is an ambush, I'm afraid we won't all be here. ”

"That's right." Zhou Rui replied and fell into deep thought.

Li Sheng didn't bother, just rode lightly as before, quietly waiting for his answer.

"I think we can test them first." After a while, Zhou Rui made such a suggestion.

"How to tempt?" Li Sheng asked.

"Shoot with a horse. Hit each other with a bow and arrow on a horse. Because you don't need to touch each other to destroy them, it's the most useful thing to use against the guys right now. Zhou Rui said with a smile.

"Mounted archery? Do you have the level of mounted archery? Li Sheng asked in surprise. In addition to his own personal guards, most of the military training matters were directly handed over to Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. In the months after the recovery of the Western Sunshine, his main focus was on learning how to handle government affairs and formulate various rules, and he didn't know much about the various things in his army, so he felt strange about what Zhou Rui said.

"Of course!" Zhou Rui proudly raised his still childish face, and showed off with a smile: "Boss, you don't know yet, right?" I can be regarded as Master Huang Zhong's proud disciple! All the people in this cavalry team have received special training from the two generals, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. Although we have not been able to master more advanced flying shooting skills due to the short training time, it is still no problem to do mounted archery and some basic running shooting. It's enough to deal with these people right now. ”

"Since that's what it looks like, let's start it." Li Sheng smiled and agreed.

"Yes!" Zhou Rui, who got the instructions, quickly gave the order.

The formation of the cavalry changed rapidly: they were divided into two columns, one on the left and one on the right, and formed a circle in front of the camp gate of Gongdu. With the speed of the horses, their circles were soon connected from end to end. The knight on the horse took off his riding bow from his back. They mounted the arrows and stretched the strings vigorously. They didn't fire it right away, but just aimed the sharp edge of the arrow at the enemy in front of them, making a threatening appearance.

"Not good!" Mao Ying, who was hidden in the dark, saw this and couldn't help but cry out in annoyance.

"What's wrong?" Gong stared at his military advisor in confusion.

"I didn't expect them to do this!" Mao Ying compared to the group of cavalrymen holding bows and arrows opposite: "I didn't expect that there are still people in the south who can master such advanced cavalry and archery skills." ”

"What?" Gong Du wanted to ask in more detail.

But before he could ask, Li Sheng's attack was officially launched.

The arrow flew through the pitch-black space and swooped down on the array of enemies with a sharp whistling. The dozen or so arrows that arrived one after another gradually converged in the air, and the distance between the front and the back and left and right slowly became smaller, as if they had been pulled by a giant hand, and converged into a thick black giant whip. Zhou Rui's attack is very distinctive, and his arrows have completely become an attack method that Li Sheng casually said at the beginning: "Concentrated shooting." "When attacks that should have been spread out are aggregated, the lethality of the attacks is greatly enhanced. This whip is like the sharp teeth of a viper, and wherever it goes, it is patronized by death. Soon, there were staggering casualties in the middle of the Yellow Turban Army in front of the battalion.

Ge Ji felt like his head was full of mush. Although he had been working hard, it was clear that the result he had in the end was completely different from what he had imagined. The whole situation did not get as good as he thought, but it got worse and worse: he ordered his soldiers to rush forward bravely, but every time a soldier charged, the deadly black whip directly hit the place where the soldier was located, and gradually made his soldiers dare not act rashly; He tried hard to find a solution to the problem, but it was clear that he was not the kind of person who had a quick wit, and in such a desperate situation, his mind became more and more panicked and he had no ideas to speak of.

Of course he's not a dead man. It's not just a matter of letting your soldiers stay stupid and be a wooden target that is targeted but doesn't know how to dodge. However, the confusion in his mind at the moment made him at a loss, and the command that came out of his mouth was not suitable for the current situation, which made his soldiers suffer even more heavy losses in the futile counterattack.

As the casualties continued to increase, the morale of those under Ge Yan continued to decline, and the expressions on their faces changed because of the change in morale - from the initial confidence to the disappointment at the first blow, from the anger at the beginning of the counterattack to the despair when they had been unable to achieve anything. In just a quarter of an hour, their faces had changed a few times. While such a rapid change of face may seem hilarious to outsiders, for themselves, such a change is not a good thing.

Finally, some of them could not bear the despair anymore. He began to flee, disappearing into the dark and rainy night as if in a frenzy. This is the first, but then there is a second, and then a third. Although in the original plan, Mao Ying also mentioned that if he could not withstand the enemy's blow, he could retreat, but that was a retreat rather than a rout. Therefore, whether it is Ge Ji, Gong Du, or Mao Ying, there is nothing to do about this rout. They are still human beings and not omnipotent immortals, and they simply cannot prevent the rout from happening.

Everything happened in Li Sheng's expectations......
