Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 145 (9)
The torrential rain is overwhelming, such a rain, compared with the weather when the water and land under the city of Yixian are fighting by the river, it is simply a clear sky!
Between heaven and earth, there seems to be a rain wall sweeping back and forth, enveloping the mountains and rivers east of the river in the world of water. The water vapor that had evaporated and accumulated on a sunny day in the near moon some time ago all exploded at this moment.
Between heaven and earth, there is darkness, and only the lightning is uncertain. Let the land of Hedong seem to return to the desolate world of tens of millions of years ago.
The headquarters of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, which was attacking and advancing along the road in the Lanshui River Valley to the north, all took refuge in the high places of the mountains at this time, and retreated in the camps that had been built out of the situation.
The rainstorm is like this, and it is clearly not a sudden shower. Although he avoided the river valley avenue, he avoided the scourge of rising water. But in the event of a flood in the mountains, coupled with a landslide, it will also be a very damaging blow to a large army!
Many sergeants and civilians braved the heavy rain to busily reinforce the camps, and some of the temporary camps had to change their locations. And under the camp, a ditch to divert water should be dug to divert the direction of the mountain torrent in case of pouring. Hoarded grain and ordnance should also be collected and stored as soon as possible to prevent moisture.
Under the torrential rain, thousands of people ran and shouted in the rain pillars, carrying and carrying, and no one dared to spare their strength at this moment. And the generals also participated, and they were also covered in muddy water. These warriors may be able to calm down when they are about to fight, but under the power of nature, no one can wait!
Han Shizhong was dressed in a linen single coat, and outside the camp, he dug a water diversion ditch with the soldiers and civilians. Needless to say, the clothes were already soaking wet. body and face. It's all muddy. The mountains in the east of the river are mostly rocky mountains. And the shovels and hoes used in the army are all called from the Tiantong Supervisor of Nanjiaocheng, Taiyuan Prefecture, and the iron smelting in Hedong mostly uses charcoal, the iron is very brittle, and it is not counted to be cut on the mountain stone and cracked. But everyone is still working hard, because the sound of water has been heard loudly, and the whining sound of the torrent has been heard in the mountains in the distance, and I don't know when the torrent here will come down, and this water diversion channel is not dug well. Maybe a few camps will be washed down to the bottom of the mountain!
With a loud bang, the head of the pickaxe in Han Shizhong's hand had already broken into two. He was about to shout for another device. And he heard a shout overhead.
"Lord Han, Lord Han!"
Han Shizhong looked up, and saw several horsemen dressed in muddy water waiting on it, everyone was drenched in the rain and their faces were white, they were all strong men, running in this torrential rain, the heat all over their bodies was extinguished, and their teeth couldn't help but tremble.
Han Shizhong dropped the half-cut pickaxe in his hand and turned over on the edge of the ditch. A guard hurriedly handed over the wine gourd to him to ward off the cold. Han Shizhong scolded: "The straight lady thief took it to others to drink, I don't miss this mouthful!" ”
After scolding the guards away, Han Shizhong looked at the horsemen fixedly: "What's the matter?" ”
Chuanqi replied with his teeth chattering: "We crossed the Tartar army in front. After going deeper for more than ten miles, out of the valley mountain pass. The weather was too bad for the military to inquire carefully, but I saw that the Tartar army villages along the way were still dispatching men and horses at this time, and rushed west in the rain. We really can't go west, so we can only rush back and report back, and please punish the Lord! ”
Han Shizhong glanced at these horsemen. Under such a rainstorm, the road in the valley was muddy, and the horses couldn't walk, and these riders really didn't know how much hard work they had to eat! Now they are all shaking and shaking one by one, and it is obvious that their energy and body are completely overdrawn.
Han Shizhong waved his hand: "Go to the camp to rest!" Drink some hot ginger soup and find a dry ............ The straight lady thief has no dry place, so just find a place to close her eyes! ”
These sentry spies still had the intention of joining the labor, but they drove Han Shizhong away. Standing next to the ditch, his eyebrows shrunken, his face full of worry.
Whether it's your own road, or Yanwang's road. They all attacked and advanced eastward along the mountain valley road. It's too much to be affected by this weather! After a rainstorm, the two armies were no matter how elite they were, but they couldn't move, and the supply of baggage and heavy goods behind them was also cut off for a while, so they could only struggle with this rainstorm here.
There is no need to worry about the safety of their own military horses, such rain, such terrain, in this valley avenue, the Tartars are also unable to move, and the battle between the two sides naturally stops.
However, what worried Han Shizhong was that after the Tartars relieved the positive pressure, they gained some freedom of movement to the west!
Originally, he led the Shenwu Changsheng army to attack, after all, it was the first army under the command of King Yan, and the progress was more smooth than the direction of Lou Fu. In person, the troops of Lou Chamber's department were not stronger than the main force led by Zong Han. It is two or three miles deep from the Honggu Village point out of the mountain, and standing on a high place, you can already see the relatively gentle terrain out of the mountain. The main force of Lou Chamber's department could only be nailed to the front and did not dare to move.
But now, Lou Mu dared to boldly deploy troops to move west!
The topography of Hedong is originally a continuous mountain in the southeast, sandwiching the Taiyuan Basin. To the west of the Lan Mountains to the edge of the Yellow River, the terrain is relatively gentle. In the torrential rain, the Song army trapped in the mountains couldn't move, but the Jurchen Tartars could barely move!
And where will the Lou Office Department turn when it gains freedom of movement?
There is no need to ask about this, it will inevitably turn to deal with the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army!
Han Shizhong's time in Hedong has not been short, and the terrain of mountains and rivers is all in his chest. Since the westward attack, sentries have been sent to pay attention to the movements of Lou's headquarters. As soon as the Lou Office responded to the south's reinforcements and flanked the Yan Yan army, it would immediately send a warning signal to all places. Although Yan Yanjun didn't have any good intentions here, he must not watch them lose. Han Shizhong, like Xiao Yan, would rather watch the Yan Yan army stay in the west safely, blocking the passage of Zong Han's army to the west, so that Zong Han's army can only fight with his own horses! When the time comes, the Yan army wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so let's just show them the fight.
And the defeat of the Yan army, Zong Han's troops almost got rid of the unfavorable strategic position, obtained unprecedented freedom of action, and firmly nailed the main force of King Yan to the east of the river, I don't know when it can be drawn.
And in the direction of Hebei. How long can it last?
For this reason. Han Shizhong never waited to see that Liu Yanei again. I can only help him worry about it. The onslaught contained Lou's department, and at the same time, the sentry was also sent densely and diligently. In case Lou Mu moves, no matter whether Liu Guangshi appreciates it or not, he must quickly pass on the military situation to this guy.
But now, because of this unprecedented rainstorm, Han Shizhong is powerless to contain Lou's department!
Could it be that the Lou Chamber's headquarters was just drawn out like this, marching southward, flanking the main force of the Yan Yan army along the east and west of the Weishui River valley along the mountain road?
No. Wrong!
With such heavy rain, the Ulshui River Valley, whether it is an avenue or a mountain road, is also unable to carry out large army movements. Lou's room, copy the direction, I'm afraid it's more far-reaching!
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the heavy rain and torrents to nail the east and west of the east and west, whether it is the Yanwang Department or the Yan Yan army, if it is Lou Room, he will go to the southwest, until he reaches the direction of the Yellow River, take Hehejin, and completely cut off the back road of the Yan Yan army! Then turn east. and Zong Han's main force to flank Liu Guangshi's lone army!
Such a thought flashed, making a strong man like Han Shizhong couldn't help but tremble his teeth.
Such a far-reaching plagiarism. There is also a strong city in the hands of the Flank Family, which is naturally a risky move. Maybe as soon as there is a move, the Yan Yan army will be able to get the military information, and then come up with a means to deal with it, even if it retreats from the Weishui River Valley, it will not be completely defeated.
But now, the heavy rain is the best cover for Lou Muro's actions. Military information has also become ineffective due to the impact of rain and roads. Yan Yanjun was almost immobile in the river valley. And as long as the Lou Room Department is strong and tenacious, it is very likely to achieve this far-reaching plagiarism adventure!
And once Lou Room succeeds, the Yan Yan Army will almost be wiped out!
Han Shizhong suddenly shouted and beckoned the guards to come.
"No matter what method you use, you must also send a horse out to tell Liu Guangshi that he is in danger! At the same time, through the king of Yan, be prepared! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the midst of the torrential rain, the sky was as dark as ink.
The lightning flashed out, illuminating the Jurchen military horses drawn from the front by the brigade and advancing in the direction of Langu County.
Lou Room was at the head of Langu County at the moment, looking at the Jurchen elite horsemen who had already assembled outside the city one after another, waiting for the military horses drawn from the east to arrive.
Although Han Shizhong's offensive was sharp, he still underestimated Lou Mur. Lou Room has always held two or three thousand true Jurchen elite horses, and he has never been involved in the war, but he has only recuperated his strength.
He had been waiting for Zong Han to put the Yan Yan army deep enough, and then he suddenly marched diagonally, copied the back of the Yan Yan army, and completely turned it into a lone army!
From the very beginning, Zong Han and Lou Mu did not plan to flank the Yan army along the mountain road, but were ready to completely defeat this southern army and bury the nearly 50,000 southern army in the Weishui River Valley! The target of Lou Mur's attack has always been to hit the edge of the Yellow River and take Hehejin!
This sudden rainstorm gave Lou Room a better chance, and he could draw more elites from the front to join this stormy battle of depth and advance!
Countless Jurchen elite horsemen are converging, and everyone is preparing three horses, wearing leather clothes, and enduring the torrential rain. In the midst of such rain, even if the terrain barely allows a large army to move, it is extremely difficult. Just on the march, I don't know how many men and horses will be lost!
But Lou Room has always had full confidence in the Jurchen sons under his command!
The guard reminded in a low voice: "Lou Room, when are you leaving?" ”
Lou Room smiled: "Let's go, hit the ass of the southerner Yan Yanjun!" ”
As soon as he gave the order, the sound of the horn whined, and in the midst of the rainstorm, in addition to thunder and lightning, the sound of the Jurchen army's response and call sign sounded!
A flash of lightning flashed, illuminating Lou Mu's mountain-like figure, and the Jurchen general prayed in a low voice.
"Yinshuke, so-and-so will avenge you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Room had already strode down the city wall and turned over on his horse. In the sound of horns, torrential rain and lightning, thousands of Jurchen elite riders marched towards the southwest like this! (To be continued......)
