Chapter 16: Nothing is Right!
"Your Highness! It's time for us to retreat! The Golden Wolf Guard and the Silver Eagle Guard appeared at the same time, and the Wolf King's banner must be the barbarian leader Ptolemy! It was the gray-haired old general who opened his mouth, and at the same time that he saw the three banners, he also realized that the marshal's plan to lure the enemy had been accomplished, and Ptolemy himself appeared on this battlefield.
But Hal shook his head decisively: "No, it's not time yet!" ”
General Cheng was even more surprised, but he didn't know that under the banner of the Wolf King not far from the Central Plains, Ptolemy was also surprised.
In front of Ptolemy stood a soldier who reported to the chief the battle that had taken place and the performance of both sides. Ptolemy was very surprised, because he thought that the people of the Central Plains would dare to set up an ambush in the wilderness, and even at the cost of a very high probability of complete defeat, they would choose to fight in the field, presumably because they had to rely on it.
However, according to the description of the warrior in front of him, the tactics of the Central Plains people remained unchanged, even in the wild, they were still based on stubbornness, and there was no change at all. Not to mention the fundamental loss of geographical advantages, it even made this battle a very pure battle. Then the troops left the Shangqiu camp for field battles, and suddenly became meaningless.
There is no reason and no point. This made Ptolemy's heart even more uneasy, but after all, he was a man who ruled the barbarians, and of course he would not abandon his plans because of this doubt. After all, what was in front of him was a huge piece of fat...
Ptolemy suddenly realized that something was wrong, the phalanx of the Central Plains soldiers on this battlefield... It's too weak. Although the phalanx seems to be huge, it is actually not a phalanx of more than 200,000 people at all, and although the scale of the battlefield is huge, it is still not a big battle.
The cavalry of the rear army was still crowded at the rear of the battlefield, and the front army was also only entangled with the front line of the Central Plains soldiers, and the casualties were basically concentrated in this place. Although there were still many barbarian cavalry on both sides who tried to raid the phalanx of the Central Plains soldiers, they were not effectively organized, and even paid the price of human lives.
"Something is wrong!" Ptolemy realized that something was wrong, not just on the battlefield, but somewhere else was wrong!
The fierce fighting between the soldiers of the two armies caused blood to flow all over the land, and the bright red blood soaked everything, gathering pools of blood-colored puddles on the ground. Realizing something, Ptolemy suddenly shouted at his men: "Blow the trumpet!" Let everyone come back! Fast! ”
The people standing next to the big boss are all human spirits, and they originally thought that following the big boss to this place was just a rhythm of showing his face and going through the motions, but he didn't expect that it was a safe and winning situation, and he was actually stopped by the big boss and wanted to urgently summon those warriors who were still fighting below.
Only a man with long hair turned around and ran out with a smoke...
"King! Why let them withdraw? Could it be that the people of the Central Plains have any tricks? The leader of the Golden Wolf Guard, Shutai, asked suspiciously, Wang's army was overwhelmed, and even hundreds of thousands of auxiliaries were coming behind them, even if the Central Plains soldiers in the phalanx below wanted to retreat, it was too late. Victory was in sight, but the sudden retreat was something he couldn't understand.
But at this time, Ptolemy was in no mood to explain, but shouted at the operating platform: "Let everyone blow the horn!" Let those guys who don't know whether they are alive or dead withdraw for me! ”
But... It's late!
...
The Shangqiu camp was originally established on the bank of Weishui, and was originally a camp set up by Jiang Zhongzi, the monarch of the Western Liang State, to prevent the invasion of the powerful neighbor Donghu during the chaos of the Ten Kingdoms. The terrain near Weishui is dangerous, and it is located in the north, so there are not many people who know about water warfare. In this acre of three-point land, it is considered a powerful camp, so when the new dynasty was established, it was regarded as an important garrison place and preserved.
After the expansion, Shangqiu Daying even has a part of the water village, which can leave from Weishui and go directly to the barbarian border, and can also go directly to Xijing, the capital of the Central Plains.
In this battle, almost everyone put the main battlefield on the bank of Weishui, where the Shangqiu camp is located, after all, they all think that this is a defensive battle without slots, and no one will think that the protagonist this time will be Weishui.
But... After the madman Wen Zhong was involved, the entire battlefield was related to Weishui.
For many years, the Shangqiu camp has been used as a garrison camp, and the biggest reason is that it is located in the middle of the country, and there are few enemies in the vicinity. Because of this, there are many waterways in the vicinity of the camp that extend to the nearby villages for irrigation. Among them, river reservoirs are naturally indispensable for storing water.
Only after Hal left with the ambushed army, Wen Zhong gave an order to mobilize 60,000 auxiliaries, dug up the reservoir overnight, and gathered it in the upper reaches of the battlefield...
As mentioned earlier, the terrain around Shangqiu is too flat, flat to barely have any tall mountains, but it is not very flat here, because there are just as many hills as there are desperately many hills.
The surging Weishui was forcibly diverted under the huge manpower. The madness swept through most of the battlefield, and many Central Plains soldiers who had no time to retreat were swept away, but more barbarian cavalry were completely swallowed and submerged in the face of the purest power of nature.
The flood washed away all the wars below the slope, rampage through the hollows of the hills, and everything that dared to stop it would be destroyed, and from above, these big men from the north could only float and sink in the water with frightened faces, and finally disappeared into the water completely.
Some of the barbarian cavalry who arrived late and did not officially enter the main battlefield were lucky enough to pick up a life, and they watched the terrible power of nature with palpitations, and the initial crazy clamor was also washed away.
...
"No... Wrong! A victory that should have been a joy was shattered by a shout from Hal.
A flood swept away the lives of tens of thousands of barbarians, which far exceeded Howl's hopes, and also lifted the spirits of everyone in this formation.
According to the original plan, this was the time to retreat. Together with the Central Plains cavalry who were responsible for the ambush and attack outside, as well as the battle damage on the main battlefield, the lives of more than 100,000 barbarian soldiers were completely wiped out overnight. Such a record is enough for everyone in the entire Shangqiu camp to gain great feats.
But Hal who only knew about this plan for a while noticed that something was wrong, and he said to the old man Cheng beside him with a look of disbelief: "The big leader of the barbarian clan is here, but what about the others?" The quantity is wrong! The quantity is wrong! Our cavalry is in danger! ”
Old Man Cheng's face changed, and he looked into the darkness in the distance...
