"......Boom" A series of thunder roars like fireworks set off on the eve of the New Year's Day, crackling and exploding in the clear blue sky.

Both the Xiliang army and the Hanzhong army were frightened by this sudden thunder, and they ran out of their respective camps one after another, looking up at the gradually cloudy sky.

Layers of dark clouds swept across the sky, and in less than an hour, the sky was completely overcast, the sky was dark, the river was also black, and the forest became a black sea.

A strong wind blew, making Xu Shu and Zhao Ang's robes hunting, and Zhao Ang even felt that the wind was also dark. Towards noon, the thunder was already rolling from the sky like ten thousand chariots, and after a while, the storm began to pour hysterically.

Suddenly, the sky was dark, as if the world had come to an end. In all directions, there was a whirring wind and the click of thousands of stumps and leaves being broken by the wind.

The wind was blowing, the clouds were thick, the thunder was rolling, the downpour was falling madly from the sky, the dark and heavy sky seemed to be about to collapse, the wind chased the rain, the rain chased the wind, the wind and the rain united to chase the dark clouds in the sky, and the whole heaven and earth were in the rain. The wind swept the torrential rain like countless whips, and the heavy rain swept over like a huge waterfall, and the dark clouds were connected together, like a huge black cloth covering the sky.

Zhao Ang looked at the heavy rain and the thick sky happily, and said to Xu Shu beside him: "Yuan Zhi, you are right, the rainstorm is really coming!" ”

"This rain is heavier than I imagined, will it affect the people?"

Xu Shu stretched out his hand to feel the torrential rain, and the dense droplets of water smashed into the palm of his hand, and he felt a slight pain.

Zhao Ang was silent, and there were many villagers living in the valley, most of whom lived near the water, if they dug up the river embankment upstream. This sloping valley will be turned into Heze in an instant, and it will definitely cause the death of innocent people and their livestock, which is really a problem.

"Heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs, and saints are unkind and people are dogs!"

After being silent for a long time, Xu Shu lowered his head and sighed, but he didn't wait for Zhao Ang to answer. He raised his head again and said to himself: "Kill the dog, tie the grass for the dog's trip, pray for the rain, and if you pray for it, you will abandon it, and there is no more intention to take care of it, heaven and earth have no intention of loving things, and let them grow by themselves, and the saints have no intention of loving the people, and let them rest on their own." You and I are not saints, so ......"

Zhao Ang squinted his eyes and stared directly at the cloudy sky, as if he wanted to see through the layers of dark clouds and explore what was hidden in the dark clouds, but he didn't see a reason for it for a long time.

Zhao Ang pulled his gaze back. Turning his head to Xu Shu, he said, "Yuan Zhi, I understand what you mean." Let's go! ”

Xu Shu nodded: "But after leaving a thousand soldiers in the palace, responsible for rescuing the surviving villagers, we have done only so much!" ”

Slope Valley, Hanzhong camp, Chinese army tent.

"The Xiliang army fights and doesn't fight. If you retreat and don't retreat, isn't it playing some tricks with us? The person who spoke was a sturdy general, he was Zhang Wei, the deputy general of the Hanzhong Army stationed in the sloping valley, and the main general was a bearded man beside him, named Yang Bai. It is a member of the Yang clan in Hanzhong, and he also belongs to the Dongzhou soldiers, but he is not a remnant of Sanfu, but a Shilin gate valve in Jingzhou.

Zhang Lu learned that Zhao Ang's soldiers were out of the Great Scattered Pass, so he asked Zhang Wei to lead 5,000 people to come to the valley to assist Yang Bai in garrisoning, Zhang Wei came to take advantage of the excitement, bent on fighting a big victory, and then took the opportunity to recover the Great Scattered Pass and Chen Cangdao, but he did not expect the Xiliang army to fight or retreat, which made him feel so annoyed.

Yang Bai also looked puzzled, stared at the staff next to him and asked, "Isn't it that Zhao Ang has played some conspiracy?" ”

"He? If it weren't for his wife Wang Yi to give him advice, would he Zhao Ang be able to hold 10,000 male soldiers? It would be good for Lu Bu to give him 2,000 soldiers and horses! The staff looked calm and relaxed.

Zhang Lu and Zhang Wei are uncles and nephews, Zhang Wei is a general in Hanzhong, and has the supreme right to speak, even Yang Bai did not dare to offend easily, he saw that everyone couldn't discuss anything, and then patted his thigh and proposed: "Our army has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the Xiliang army only has 10,000 people, we are twice as many as them, in my opinion, it is better to kill into the camp of the Xiliang army in one go, kill Zhao Ang, and rob his wife to live happily for a few days." ”

"That's not good, the lord asked me to keep the valley from losing, and didn't let us attack, if we are defeated and the valley falls into the hands of the Xiliang army, then it's all over!" Yang Bai shook his head against Zhang Wei's opinion.

Since the convergence of the two armies, Zhang Wei has been instigating Yang Bai to lead his troops to directly attack the camp of the Xiliang army, killing the Xiliang army by surprise, and it will definitely win a complete victory. But Yang Bai knew that this was just Zhang Wei's plan to kill people with a knife and weaken his power by the hands of the Xiliang Army.

Everyone here is a person who understands, just with this mere 20,000 people can fight with 10,000 elite Xiliang army, let alone double, even if it is twice it, it may not be able to fight, besides, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses of Huang Zhong stationed outside Dasan Pass, as long as they start a war, it is strange that the iron cavalry of the Xiliang army will not trample them into pulp.

So what Yang Bai has to do now is to occupy the dangerous place of the sloping valley, defend the sloping valley, and ensure that the sloping valley is not lost, for Zhang Wei's proposal, he is naturally opposed, otherwise if he loses the sloping valley, his hundred heads are not enough for Zhang Lu to cut.

Just as they were arguing, a series of thunderbolts suddenly exploded in the sky, frightening them to look at each other, remembering that the sun had just risen when they had just entered the tent, and how could such a series of thunders explode in a blink of an eye.

Under the leadership of Yang Bai and Zhang Wei, the generals in the tent ran out of the tent one after another, looking at the cloudy sky and sighing.

"It looks like it's going to rain, so the Xiliang Army can't attack!"

Yang Bai stared at the sky as black as a one-foot canopy, turned his head and smiled at the strategists beside him.

"Hey, it's strange, the sky was clear just now, why did it suddenly rain!" The staff bowed their heads and muttered.

Zhang Wei glanced at him with disdain, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is called unpredictable, let's not think so much, the heavy rain blocks the road of the Xiliang Army, isn't this exactly what you want?" ”

"No, two generals, at the beginning, we built a camp by the mountains and rivers, the purpose was to be able to advance the principle of water, and now it is raining so much, if the Xiliang army digs the river embankment upstream, we will definitely bury the belly of the fish!" The staff was a little distracted, and tried to tell the two of them what they were worried about.

Zhang Wei laughed out loud: "Are you a rice bucket?" Is it too late for them to dig the embankment, and don't forget, how can they calculate that the rainstorm came suddenly? ”

Yang Bai frowned, and said worriedly: "More things are better than less things, I think we should move the camp, be careful!" ”

Zhang Wei snorted coldly: "For the generals, if you want to be so timid, how can you achieve great things, in my opinion, take advantage of this rainstorm, let's raid the Xiliang camp, this place is only seventy or eighty miles away from the enemy camp, our army can reach it after half a day's speed, how?" ”

"General Yang Bai, now that it is impossible to pull out the camp, why don't we follow General Zhang, and take advantage of the fact that the enemy army is not aware of it, why don't we sneak attack their camp?" The staff were also moved by Zhang Wei's words, as Zhang Wei said, if the enemy army is unprepared, they may get unexpected results when they go to raid.

"That's all there is to it!" Yang Bai Fuxu agreed, as a general, he didn't want to be an official and a knight, he came from Hanzhong so far, he couldn't return empty-handed, and he killed the Xiliang army and captured a batch of heavy weapons.

At that moment, more than 20,000 Han Chinese troops came out of the bamboo forests all over the mountains and fields in Shihe Huanggu one after another, and marched rapidly towards the Xiliang camp 80 miles away.

The sky and the earth are dark, and the visibility is only twenty feet.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Seeing that the Xiliang army had fallen into the ambush circle, Xu Shu personally blew the horn and signaled to Zhao Ang on the hillside to break the embankment.

"Bursting the levee!"

With Zhao Ang's order, one hundred and ten small boats on the water surface of the dam broke the embankment together, starting from a small gap, rapidly expanding, and then quickly showing the trend of landslides and ground cracks. In the blink of an eye, stormy waves and monstrous floodwaters rushed down the hillside.

Before the Hanzhong army could react, it was rushed into the formation by the surging flood, and the people who rushed turned on their backs and drifted with the waves, and 20,000 people were suddenly drowned in the surging turbid waves, and countless people were choked to death and drowned.

Zhao Ang led the Xiliang soldiers who were familiar with the water from the upstream to take a boat down, harvesting heads all the way. Xu Shu also refused to lag behind, and controlled the boat and raft to join forces with Zhao Ang, and chased and killed the Hanzhong soldiers along the surging flood.

The night of fierce fighting did not end until dawn.

More than 20,000 Shanyue thieves were drowned, about 10,000 were drowned, more than 5,000 were captured, and the remaining 5,000 people were nowhere to be found.

And Zhang Wei, Yang Bai, staff and other Hanzhong generals all died in the melee, not a single one left a life, so far, the Hanzhong garrison in the valley collapsed, Zhao Ang led the army up the mountain, the Han sergeants in the mountains and forests who were lucky not to die, all drove down the mountain, captured alive, and handed over to Lu Bu.

Zhao Ang is responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the enemy, Xu Shu is responsible for rescuing the villagers who have fallen into the water, in the sloping valley, there are about 2,000 local mountain people, who were originally hiding from the torrential rain at home, but they never thought that it ushered in the flash flood, and many mountain people kept struggling in the flood. Whenever he encountered a villager who fell into the water, Xu Shu immediately commanded the rescue, and if he encountered the undead Hanzhong army, he would be whisking with spears.

In normal times, Xu Shu might have taken their lives around them and saved them, but at this time and then, their ship was too small to bear most of the load, so Sergeant Han had only one result, and that was death.

Those villagers who regained their lives wept with joy, calling friends and hugging their relatives, and those mountain people who had lost their relatives looked at the turbid yellow river in a daze, unable to speak for a long time. (To be continued......)
