Chapter 69: The Battle of Liuqingshan (Part II)

Zhang Zuofeng struggled to climb up from a pile of rocks until he grabbed a broken tree with both hands and climbed to a high place with great effort.

At this moment, there was already an ocean around him, and after the natural dam of the Min River was blown up, the rushing river water immediately washed the small mouth into a huge gap more than 100 zhang wide.

The drop of the Min River is too big, the water flow is too fast, and there is a drop of more than seven meters from the canyon on the north bank, and the river water that bursts the embankment rushes out like a giant waterfall, just rushing into the canyon and crashing headlong on the collapsed mountain wall.

The collapsed mountain wall played the role of damming the river embankment, blocking the way of the river, and the river gradually slowed down and turned its head to rush in the other direction.

The more than 10,000 Southern Korean troops crowded in the canyon became the victims of the river, and were swept downstream by this irresistible torrent.

Most people are unlucky enough to hit rocks or other floating objects and die on the spot the moment the tide hits, while those who are slightly more fortunate escape the first ghost gate and float in the rushing river, freezing to death by the icy water, if not drowning.

The two invincible pro-armies in the world were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and the efficiency of killing the enemy was even more terrifying than the Battle of Changping, when Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao troops in one fell swoop.

"Hey, is there anyone else? Where are you? ”

Zhang Zuofeng stood on top of a boulder and clasped his palms together and shouted, the people who fled before him had all disappeared without a trace, but he himself survived because he ran too slowly.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Xu Rui only had about two truckloads of raw materials for making black powder, and the explosiveness of black powder was nothing compared to the high explosives of later generations.

In order to achieve the purpose of blowing up the mountain wall and river embankment, each blasting point was carefully calculated by Xu Rui, and then punched holes and buried the medicine, and the most vulnerable parts of the mountain wall and river embankment were broken with the least amount of gunpowder, just like a thousand catties in martial arts.

In the era when there were no computers, or even calculators, in order to accurately measure and calculate these blasting points, Xu Rui stayed awake for two days and two nights, and lost a lot of hair at a young age, and he was so distressed that he called it a loss.

Of course, the location of Zhang Zuofeng's ignition is also within Xu Rui's calculations, although it is very close to the explosion point, it happens to be a blind spot under the principle of resonance, if the luck is not bad, not only will it not be life-threatening, but it can also find a road that is not too difficult to walk, bypass the flood, and join the army.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuofeng was too smart, and when he saw the collapse of the mountain wall, he immediately understood the horror of explosives, and asked the other people in charge of lighting the fire to evacuate in advance, but ran out of the safety range set by Xu Rui, and was the first to make a sacrifice to the river god.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Zuofeng reacted and sat down on the ground in a daze.

I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, although he doesn't know this idiom, but he is in the same mood as Wang Dao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

On the canyon, except for Xu Rui, all the people in the Northern Wuwei were stunned, looking at the battlefield that had become a vast ocean with pale faces, they had imagined what kind of ability Xu Rui would use to deal with the army of the Southern Dynasties, but they never thought that it would be in such a devastating way.

Could it be that this Xu Zuoling, who communicates yin and yang, is really a mortal immortal? How else can you trigger the thunder and fire and move out of the water of the Minjiang River to destroy the enemy?

Just like during the First World War in Crying Grave Valley, everyone looked at Xu Rui with awe, even fear.

The difference is that last time, at most, he was regarded as a strange person who could communicate between the two worlds of yin and yang, but this time he was directly classified as a first-class land immortal.

Even Liu Yi, who knew all the plans in advance, was not much better, although he was similar to Xu Rui after speaking, but hearing and witnessing it were completely different perceptions.

When he heard about it, he felt that Xu Rui's description was a fantasy and must be exaggerated, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that Xu Rui had concealed his actual power before.

Liu Yi twisted his stiff neck, looked at Xu Rui who was casual, and was shocked in his heart, this kid can still not blush and his heart beat in the face of such a scene of destruction that the sky is shattering, it is really a good concentration, is the Guigu Gate really an immortal?

Xu Rui didn't know what he was thinking, and even if he knew, he just laughed it off, and he was afraid of getting used to and comparing anything.

In another world, Xu Rui has received extreme war training since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to all kinds of destruction scenes, compared with the planetary railgun that can smash the entire planet with one shot and destroy tens of billions of living beings, this scene is really not on the table, let alone dimensional reduction strikes and other unconventional destruction methods.

Seeing often determines the pattern, and the pattern determines the height that a person can reach.

Xu Rui's strongest thing is not actually the talent that is different from ordinary people, but the insight that spans this era, and with this alone, those equally talented young geniuses can't catch up with him anyway, because he has stood on the shoulders of giants from the beginning.

"This is the heavenly thunder you used to deal with Wang Man outside Lingdong City?"

Liu Yi gradually came back to his senses and asked in a low voice.

Xu Rui nodded: "Almost, the materials are still too simple, black powder is only a primary product after all, if you can find a few other things, such as making picric acid, or even high explosives, why bother so much." ”

"Can you make even more powerful thunderbolts?"

Liu Yi's pupils shrank and exclaimed.

Xu Rui nodded in surprise: "What's so strange about this?" ”

Liu Yi's face changed, he looked left and right, and saw that everyone was still in shock, so he didn't pay attention, so he hurriedly pulled him away a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "Who else knows about the fact that you will create a heavenly thunder?" ”

Xu Rui was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what he meant.

No one in power would allow a single subordinate who possessed weapons of mass destruction to exist, because that was the greatest threat to destabilizing the imperial power.

Once this matter is leaked, without anyone else's hands, the ambitious emperor of the Great Wei State will be the first to get rid of him, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

"Except for Zhang Zuofeng and a few soldiers who were responsible for planting explosives, no one knows, they are all trustworthy people."

Xu Rui said in a deep voice.

"Trustworthy?"

Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Zhang Zuofeng, you handle it yourself, you draw up a list for me as soon as possible, and you don't have to worry about other things." Also, you have to think carefully about how to explain it to the Holy One, probably your teacher can't hide it. ”

Of course, Xu Rui knew what would happen to the people on the list, but he didn't expect that Liu Yi, who had always been upright and upright, loved soldiers like children, and even a little pedantic, would take the initiative to do such a "next" thing for him.

Xu Rui felt a warm current in his heart, this old guy didn't want his hands to be stained with blood, so he buried hidden dangers, so he didn't hesitate to break the principle and help himself wipe his shares against his heart.

In fact, Xu Rui himself didn't care much about this matter, Li Kuang had already sent the news of his division out of Guiguzi, and now it might have been placed on the emperor's dragon case.

Anyway, the lie has already been told, and now it's too late to regret it, so he simply borrowed the name of Guiguzi to cover for himself.

Don't you all say that Guiguzi is a fairy? That immortal disciple should not be surprised if he has one or two spirit runes that can trigger the heavens, thunder, earth and fire, right?

Just thinking about it, Liu Yi looked at the ocean under his feet and suddenly let out a long sigh.

"This is the first time in the world that someone has defeated King Wuling's two pro-armies, and they are eliminated in a systematic manner, but the price is really too great."

Xu Rui came back to his senses, his eyes fell on the canyon that had become an ocean, and he also sighed.

"Yes, the price is too great, the Minjiang River bursts, the flood radiates at least one province, and hundreds of people downstream will be affected, I don't know how many people will die because of this, but the sacrifice is worth it, with this victory, King Wuling will not dare to invade the north on a large scale for at least a few years, and it has bought valuable time for me to rebuild the twelve guards of the Great Wei."

Liu Yi was shocked and nodded: "This battle still has such significance, you have thought about it a long time ago, right?" ”

Xu Rui shook his head and said with a smile: "No, it was nonsense just now." ”

Liu Yi snorted coldly and glanced at him, naturally not believing it.

At this time, a group of people walked along the top of the mountain, and it was actually a cadre of generals of Beiwuwei, Xiao Jinwu and Liang Tongfang were impressively listed, including them, and everyone's face was shocked that could not be concealed.

Although they didn't witness the terrible scene of the sky falling apart and the flood rushing, Xu Rui made such a big movement, just listening to those terrifying loud noises could scare people enough, let alone see the valley turn into an ocean.

When Liu Yi saw someone coming, he kept silent, and Xu Rui didn't say much, and followed Liu Yi to meet the generals.

Xiao Jinwu was the first to walk towards Xu Rui, he took a deep breath and wanted to ask Zhang Zuofeng if he was okay, but before he could ask, he first stared at him in surprise.

It turned out that when Liang Tongfang saw Xu Rui, he didn't say a word, and regardless of everyone's stunned eyes, he immediately knelt down with his legs bent and kowtowed to him three times.

Xu Rui was startled and hurriedly reached out to help, but Liang Tongfang was like a thousand catties of boulder, not moving at all.

"Hurry up, why is the general like this?"

Xu Rui said sincerely.

Liang Tongfang solemnly hugged his fists and said: "Little Marquis, when I was in Lingdong, I said that Lao Liang does not ask for anything, as long as you can avenge the handsome, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life!"

Now you are not only a master of dark chess, but also the two invincible armies of King Wuling, and have completed the feat that the heroes of the world want to do, but can't.

My Lao Liang has always done what he says, from today on, you are my great benefactor, but there is a send, Lao Liang will definitely come in the wind, go in the rain, go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and do not hesitate! ”

Gentlemen keep promises, and warriors are even more so, Liang Tongfang's words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone present admired them.

Xu Rui shook his head and said: "The general doesn't have to be like this, it is Xu Rui's duty to avenge his father-in-law, not to mention that even if his father-in-law was not harmed by the dark chess, with the blood debt of the Northern Wuwei, I will not let go of the army of the Southern Dynasties."

You and your father-in-law are brothers and sisters, you can be so affectionate and righteous, sacrifice your life to reciprocate, your father-in-law Jiuquan will be very pleased, my northern boy is impassioned, never pretentious, today I will thank the general Gao Yi on behalf of my father-in-law, please accept my worship! ”

As he spoke, Xu Rui clasped his fists with both hands and bowed to Liang Tongfang.

Liang Tongfang's face changed, how dare he accept it, he immediately bounced up from the ground, and his hands like iron tongs firmly supported Xu Rui's bowing body, so that he couldn't bow down.

"The little marquis has all the means, he is not arrogant or impatient, he really torments Lao Liang, Lao Liang is a martial artist, and he is ashamed that he has not avenged the marshal, and he also asks the little marquis not to make Lao Liang ashamed again."

Seeing that he had already gotten up, Xu Rui didn't insist.

It wasn't until this moment that he made an end to Yang Weiyuan's blood feud, along with the revenge of Sangou, Xu Fang, Mei Chuang, and those Beiwuwei comrades-in-arms who fell on the road.

While untying the shackles in his heart, Xu Rui suddenly felt a lot of emotion, and the thoughts in his heart flew far away.

He pulled Liang Tongfang to take a few steps closer to the ocean under his feet, looking at the water of the Minjiang River flowing far away, as if Cao Mengde looked at the sea at a glance, and his heart was surging and he couldn't help himself.

Unconsciously, he remembered Yang Hongji's song "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", and unconsciously sang along.

"The rolling Minjiang River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.

Success or failure turns empty.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze.

A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet.

How many things in ancient and modern times are ...... to laugh and talk about"

This song is actually "Linjiang Immortal" written by Yang Shen, the first genius of the Ming Dynasty, which Luo Guanzhong used as the opening chapter when writing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

The original lyrics have a lofty artistic conception, coupled with the majestic melody, although Xu Rui's voice still has a bit of virginity and a wisp of vicissitudes, it still sings a little bit of the grand artistic conception of looking down on the past and the present and pointing out the country.

Regardless of the elegance and vulgarity present, they are all military soldiers who have fought for half their lives, and they have experienced life and death, so they naturally understand the true meaning of life better, and they can better understand the spirit and helplessness of the heroes of the big waves.

Unconsciously, all the generals were full of excitement and mixed tastes.

In fact, most of the people present are martial artists who don't understand the words, although they feel something, but they can only appreciate the fur, but Xiao Jinwu has both literature and martial arts, and really understands the lofty artistic conception of this "Linjiang Immortal".

Because of this, Xiao Jinwu stood in the crowd and looked at Xu Rui's back and was still stunned, his heart was already shocked, and he even forgot to ask him about Zhang Zuofeng's safety.

"This kid is unpredictable, his ambitions are broad in the world, and the pattern is even more laughing about the past and the present, he can sit on such a talent at the age of sixteen, even if he was the king of Wuling back then.

Now that the army has finished the last battle, he will soon return to Beijing in the north, and when he returns to Beijing, I am afraid that he will immediately leap into the dragon gate and sneak into the abyss.

Maybe the fate of Dawei in the next thirty years, no, maybe fifty years of rise and fall will be closely related to this person, but after all, he is a teenager, and when he fades away from his childishness, where will Dawei lead?

Dawei already has an ambitious saint, and now there is an unpredictable Xu Rui, what kind of sparks will the dragon and phoenix create among these two people? ”

Unconsciously, Xiao Jinwu's heart was full of expectations.
