Chapter 434: Battle 2

I don't know if it's because of the prevention of the earth-shaking thunder in Zhao Ning's hands, Situ Jian's three-way army is divided into three parts, the front, the middle and the back, and each part is divided into three battalions, which makes the earth-shaking thunder unable to bring great lethality, but the Shenwu army and the government army can rescue quickly.

In addition, the Shenwu Army definitely does not go to a very dangerous place. Because in the various armies of the Shenwu Army, there are dozens of leaders who are familiar with the region. If you can't catch up, you will immediately move to the other two lines of defense. The caution is obvious.

"General, these three Shenwu troops are too cautious, and now our surprise attack is getting harder and harder." In a dense forest, several captains of the Taihang Mountain Bandit Army gathered together.

After listening to the news of the scout, Zhao Ning also sighed: "Thinking like this, an enemy like a turtle is the most difficult to deal with." By the way, what about the 5,000 recruits? ”

"Don't worry, general, they, each hand is stained with the blood of the Shenwu Army, besides, where can they go without us? If you go out, it will also be the end of the bandits. Captain Xia Fei said.

"By the way, is there a good place around here for an ambush? These three route armies, no matter what, must solve all the way, so that the Shenwu army can retreat in the face of difficulties, so that it will no longer stare at us like flies. Zhao Ning said coldly.

Several lieutenants shook their heads and said with a wry smile: "Although there are mountain roads and canyons around here, with Situ Jian's caution, they will not come." ”

For Situ Jian's caution, Zhao Ning also smiled bitterly, for such an enemy, a cautious person is not easy to deal with. In particular, there is also the government behind the other party to ensure logistics, and it only needs to be slowly advanced.

"We are moving forward, but we must deal with the enemy army all the way, otherwise, our cottage will be exposed, the stored materials will be lost, and then we may be attacked by the Shenwu army and the bandits of Taihang Mountain." Zhao Ning said in a deep voice.

The two sides advanced and retreated, and on the third day, Zhao Ning, who was exploring the terrain, suddenly had a small river more than ten miles away from the rear, which went down from the north and finally flowed into the villages and towns in the south and even in the prefecture and county.

Zhao Ning, who had always been worried about the Shenwu Army's slow approach, couldn't help but move in his heart, and then walked up the river more than ten meters wide, until he walked four or five miles, and only after seeing that the drinking road was narrowing and the mountains and rocks were standing up, he would smile.

"It seems that the turning point is here!" Zhao Ning said with a smile.

The fifteenth of the earth!

Early in the morning, the water flows slowly, and the white river sand glistens silver in the sun on the bare riverbed. The small fish in the waterhole swam happily in schools. Suddenly, the water waves shook slightly, and the little fish were agitated, scattering and swimming to the depths of the pool.

Qingyan Valley, speaking of which, is not a ravine here, but the name of the place is like this. Qingyan Gully is more than 50 miles long, with continuous mountains on both sides, and on the other side of the mountains, each is a long and narrow valley. In such a valley, there are more than ten towns before and after.

A team of more than 1,000 Shenwu troops is advancing, and the leader is the former battalion captain of the front of the Middle Route Army, surnamed Wang. According to Situ Jian's meaning, the army advanced slowly, and the three roads came out together, and the mountain bandits' lair must be leveled. Regardless of whether there are family members of the bandits, these Taihang bandit troops must have a nest of storing food and materials. Otherwise, they would not have taken food and armor from the Shenwu Army and the Changwu Army.

As the army slowly advanced, the number of attacks on the road decreased, and the Shenwu army learned to deal with the surprise attacks of the Taihang bandits. Now, the Shenwu Army will not be its own loss every time.

After entering Qingyan Valley, the front camp of the Shenwu Army was much more careful. The mountains on both sides are full of dense forests, although the trees have grown green leaves, but the ground is still a thick layer of dead leaves, and the enemy army is engaged, this kind of terrain does need to be careful, this kind of terrain is very easy to be ambushed and fired.

Captain Wang was a little cautious in his heart, so he walked all the way, and there were always guides and sentries in front of him to explore the road and guard.

Walking for most of the day, the road was safe and sound, and the captain's heart was a lot more relaxed. I don't know why, today's Taihang bandit army is not continuing to ambush and trap.

Near noon, the front camp reached a place where the valley suddenly widened, and not far away there was a wide river, and the mountains on either side were a little farther from the center.

However, there are still some marks left on the ground, which are estimated to have been left by the Taihang Mountain Bandit Army.

"Lord Captain, let's set up camp here, report the situation here to the rear, this is enough for the army to be stationed and rested, and prepare lunch!" The soldier next to the captain surnamed Wang said.

After scanning the terrain and looking at the sun in the sky and the tired soldiers, the captain surnamed Wang nodded and said, "Well, you go to the rear army to report the situation here." ”

Then he said: "Zuo Qu people, immediately probe the surrounding situation, and prepare a large army to camp." ”

Soon, the army of the middle road drove into here, camped, prepared to eat, and at the same time rested, and the new army here was indeed tired. Because of its proximity to the water source, it was also very convenient for the sergeants to get water

Not far from the Shenwu Army's camp, Zhao Ning heard that the scout had reported that the enemy had entered the predetermined position, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Let the soldiers get moving!"

"Boom ......"

As soon as the Shenwu army began to bury the pot and cook rice, there was an attack from the Taihang bandit army on both sides. Only this time, not only did the army attack from both sides, but the earth-shattering thunder that had not appeared for a long time also began to exert its might.

"Stupid, if you use the sky-shaking thunder before you get close, can you blow us up?" Situ Jian stood in the center of the barracks, looking at the Taihang Mountain Bandit Army on the right side of the mountain ridge who were rushing forward to kill, and sneered.

"Let the archers prepare, be sure to suppress them for me, and don't let them come close! I'd like to see what else their earth-shattering thunder can do. ”

Zhao Ning stood on the mountain ridge on the right, looked at the dense Shenwu soldiers, and sneered: "Keep throwing earth-shaking thunder for me, and cover up the sound above for me." ”

"This Taihang Mountain Bandit Army shouldn't be so stupid, why are they so depleting the Heaven-Shaking Thunder?" Situ Jian looked at the front of the battlefield and couldn't help but feel a burst of depression. Since the Taihang Mountain Bandit Army can attack two large camps at night and win a big victory, how can it be such a stupid person. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Situ Jian carefully glanced at the surrounding scene, and when he saw the river behind the army formation not far behind him, his heart couldn't help but burst.

"Someone, bring me a guide who is familiar with this place!"

"Villain...... The villain has seen the general! "Not long after, an honest farmer was brought in.

"Are you familiar with this place?"

"Familiar, not far above is the palindrome village, where there are relatives of the villain, the villain ......"

"Has the river always been so wide here?" Situ Jian interrupted the guide's words and asked urgently.

"No, usually this place is more than ten zhang wide, because the terrain here is relatively gentle, so the river is very wide and the water is also very deep. It's just that for some reason, it's so cramped now! ”

Situ Jian's eyes darkened, and he said angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The guide trembled and said in fear: "The general forgives the sin, and the little ones along the way don't care, besides, how dare the villain talk nonsense to the adults at will." ”

Situ Jian was also speechless, too, even if the guide found something abnormal, he had no right to report anything to himself, besides, he didn't care about this situation at all.

"Someone! Herald! The whole army began to retreat! Situ Jian roared sharply. Now, he already had a very bad guess in his mind. This place is flat, only the terrain is flat, and the rear is suddenly narrowed, but it is the exit.

Although he was puzzled, the herald hurriedly sent orders to the surrounding departments!

Zhao Ning looked at the movement of the Shenwu Army in the valley and sneered: "It's too late to think about changes now!" ”

"Let's get our men back! Go back to the top of the mountain, but don't throw the enemy and climb up! Zhao Ning said coldly.

"Boom...... Boom Boom ...... "The earth-shattering thunder has continued, but the rumbling sound continues, and it is getting louder and louder!"

"Look! The flood is coming......" one of the soldiers pointed upwards and roared in horror.

"It's flooding, run......" One of them threw down his weapon and yelled.

It was too late for the rest of the soldiers to reflect, the roar of the water was already near, and then Peng Teng's waves appeared in view. Frightened, the soldiers were frightened in addition to horror in their eyes, reacted quickly, and ran towards the ridge on the right, although there were enemy soldiers there, but it was better than drowning. At this moment, everyone hated Mom and Dad for having two legs less, but it was still a step slower after all.

The water several meters high leveled the entire camp in an instant, and many soldiers were swept away by the water in fear and despair, rushing downward, but the terrain below suddenly locked, and was rolled back and forth, and finally, it slowly flowed downward.

The water was filled with various debris such as soldiers, flags, food, trees, and leaves of the Shenwu Army. Over time, the waves slowly ease.
