The fires in the valley come and go as fast as they go.

In midsummer, the branches and leaves of the plants are tender and green, and the water content is high, unless it is continuously scorched, it is difficult to be ignited, and the wind is not strong today, and the high slopes on both sides have formed a natural isolation zone, so this fire is only concentrated in the aisle of the valley, and the fire does not spread wildly around.

Sparks flickered under the ashes, making the temperature in the valley frighteningly high.

Wang Chong looked at the hundreds of charred corpses lying there in the valley in a daze, and sighed with a complicated mood: "Send someone to clean up the passage, and then collect the corpses, dig a big pit and bury it, otherwise it is very likely to cause a plague!" ”

Half an hour later, everything was in order, and the Jinfan army quickly passed through the valley unharmed.

Jia Xu's prediction was not wrong, Liu Bei did not arrange many ambushes in the valley, after the previous fire was finished, the few hundred soldiers on the other side had already withdrawn one step in advance.

Jin Fan didn't take a detour, and still insisted on taking the valley route, and it didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of Xu Shu, who was ambushed on the other side, making his expression a lot stricter at once: "Jin Fan, it's really more difficult to deal with than I imagined!" ”

Guan Yu on the side said worriedly: "Strategist, now that Wang Chong has not been hit, what should we do next?" ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Fortunately, we still have follow-up arrangements, pass on my instructions, the army retreats, let's sneak behind Jinfan first, if Zilong's side can be calculated, maybe we can defeat Jinfan in one battle!" ”

At the time of Shen, Wang Chong led his troops to the shores of Rushui. By this time, the sun had moved westward, and the light was no longer as hot as before.

Wang Chong glanced up at the remnant sun in the distance, and said to Jia Xu, "Another hour." It's going to get dark, and before that, we have to get through the water as quickly as possible! ”

Jia Xu asked: "The bridge here has been destroyed by the enemy, how is the lord going to cross the river?" ”

Wang Chong glanced at the crystal clear Rushui below, and said, "The water level here is extremely low, it is not more than knees, and the army can wade across the river!" ”

Jia Xu asked again: "If that's the case." Why should the other party destroy the bridge in one fell swoop? ”

Wang Chong was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly: "What does Wen He mean that the other party wants to launch a water attack when I wait to cross the river?" ”

Jia Xu nodded. He said confidently: "It's the height of summer now, and the amount of water should not be very large, but although this move can't directly cause damage to our army, it can at least break up our formation." And when the time comes. If the ambush soldiers hidden in the shadows of the other party suddenly come out, our army will be caught off guard and will inevitably collapse for thousands of miles! ”

Wang Chong said thoughtfully: "Did Wen He mean that the ambush soldiers were ambushed on the mountain road in the south?" Calculate the time, and it is indeed time for them to turn back! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chong immediately called Tai Shici: "Ziyi, you immediately lead the cavalry to the upper reaches of Rushui to investigate, and if you find a dam built by the enemy, it is best to seize it as soon as possible." In this way, it will be convenient for our army to cross the river! ”

"No!"

Tai Shi Ci took the order and left. A thousand cavalry quickly turned into a black torrent and galloped towards the upper reaches of the Rushui River.

Seeing the figure of the cavalry gradually disappearing into the distant horizon, Wang Chong retracted his gaze, and ordered Le Jin, who was wrapped in a bandage on his left arm: "Wen Qian, you and lead the soldiers and horses to guard around to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks!" ”

Half a quarter of an hour later, Tai Shi Ci had already led the cavalry to rush several miles upstream of the Rushui River, according to his previous experience, if the enemy army really built a levee to prepare for a water attack, then this distance should be the most appropriate, because in the case of a small amount of water, too close is easy to be discovered, too far will reduce the impact of the water, so his attention has become highly concentrated.

"General, look over there!"

At this time, Zhang Quan in the rear suddenly shouted, Tai Shi Ci followed Zhang Quan's pointing, and saw Rushui hundreds of meters away in front of him, a simple embankment was being built, the difference between the upper and lower water levels was about four or five meters, if this embankment was dug up, the downstream water level could rise at least one to two meters, coupled with the powerful impact of the torrent instantaneously, if the Jinfan army was crossing the river at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

On the opposite bank next to the embankment, Tai Shici also found hundreds of dense black spots, which must be the soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's command.

"Damn, I ran to the other side!" Tai Shi Ci gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, in this way, if the other party wanted to dig the embankment, he had no way to stop it, after all, the width of Rushui here had reached seventy or eighty steps, which was beyond the range of the bow and crossbow of the cavalry under his command.

Soon, Tai Shici led his troops to the side of the embankment, but Liu Beijun, who had no fear on the other bank, did not immediately dig the embankment and evacuate.

Tai Shici looked at the other side coldly, and found that this Liu Beijun of about 500 people turned out to be all crossbowmen, and the person at the head was a general about thirty years old wearing silver armor and holding a longbow.

Taishi Ciguan looked at this person like a crown of jade, his instrument was magnificent, and a pair of starry eyes were as sharp as a knife, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "Could it be that this son is the one who shot and injured Wen Qian in the valley before?" ”

At that moment, Tai Shici's strong competitive spirit was aroused, so he immediately drew his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow towards the other side of the river.

The arrow was like a streamer, urgent and accurate, and the general on the opposite side looked at him with a sharp gaze, and hurriedly raised his foot and shifted half of his body.

In the next second, the arrow flew past his original position, directly through the chest of one of the soldiers.

Seeing the soldier screaming and falling to the ground and dying, the silver-armored general's face changed, and a murderous intent surged up on his body: "Come and don't be rude, you can also take my arrow!" ”

Laugh at!

The arrow flashed away, and the speed was only faster than that of Tai Shi Ci.

Originally, Tai Shi Ci was confident enough to dodge the other party's arrow, but soon, his face changed, because he found that the other party's arrow was not aimed at him at all.

"Despicable!" Tai Shi Ci was annoyed in his heart, and then pulled the reins violently and shouted, "Lift up!" ”

Yu Yu –

The frightened sail horse seemed to feel the danger under his crotch, and quickly raised his head and raised his front hooves high, and the arrow that had been shot at his neck flew under him dangerously and nailed to the ground in the distance.

The silver-armored general sighed lightly, and muttered as if with emotion: "It's a good horse!" ”

Shoot the man first, and the silver-armored general obviously knew that the other party was extraordinary, so he targeted the war horse under his crotch, but the swiftness of the war horse was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Come on, dig the embankment!"

The silver-armored general obviously didn't have the heart to entangle with Tai Shici, since the military advisor's plan had been discovered by the other party, it would be meaningless for him to continue to stay here, and digging the embankment, although it could no longer hurt Jinfan, could at least delay the other party's crossing of the river.

Thundered!

With a loud sound like an earthquake, the majestic torrent swept down like a roaring dragon, and the surging waves slapped on the shore, rolling up the splash in the sky, and also frightened the horses under the crotch of the Jinfan cavalry.

Tai Shi Ci stared coldly at the silver-armored general who led the army away, his face was blue for a while, you must know that the arrow just now made him quite embarrassed, this account, Tai Shi Ci swore that the next time they met, they would definitely ask the other party to return it with interest.
