Chapter 435
Chapter 435
After more than ten days of preparation, all the conditions that Zhao Wu needed to take the initiative to attack had been fully prepared. Tonight, when the first summer rain fell, Zhao Wu ordered people to open the various water intakes that had been recently built in the river near Chengguan, so that the water could flow into the enemy camp little by little from a specific channel.
At first, the people in the enemy camp thought that it was raining heavily and that there was a lot of water flowing down from the mountains, so they didn't care about the flow of water into the barracks, and only did some drainage work in some low-lying places.
After a while, when they noticed that the rain was coming more and more, and it was about to flood their knees, the enemy army realized the seriousness of the rain problem and began to do a full drainage, but by then it was too late.
While the soldiers of the Celestial Universe were busy draining the water, the rain from one place rushed to their camp like a flood, washing away all the wooden instruments in their tents. There was chaos in the barracks, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
It didn't take long for the soldiers of Tianyu Kingdom to ignore the drainage work, and instead became more and more busy keeping them alive in the water. By the time the water rose above the soldiers' chests, the soldiers' struggle against the flood became more and more intense. Fortunately, the terrain where their military camp was located was not low, and the flood water would not continue to rise when it reached the chest position.
During the rising waters, the soldiers were only concerned with retreating to the high ground, and their armoured horses and horses were not bothered, and many people who could not swim were washed away and drowned in chest-high floods. When the flood water was about to recede, the Marshal of the Tianyu Kingdom, who had retreated to a high ground, thought that the flooding of their military camp might have been caused by the enemy.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of his own army without formation, the marshal of the Celestial Universe Kingdom felt more and more that the flood was caused by the Night Army, but by the time this person realized that many of the soldiers had not brought their weapons with them, it was too late. In the midst of the firelight, the night country arrived.
The cavalry charged, the infantry followed, and a massacre began in an instant. When they were avoiding the water just now, many soldiers of the Tianyu Kingdom had almost exhausted their physical strength, and now how could they fight against the Night Army.
The night army rushed into the army of Tianyu Kingdom, destroying and decaying, and the road was unimpeded. Although there were still more than 300,000 soldiers gathered in this place of Tianyu Kingdom, they were completely unable to resist the impact of the night army, and the defeat was as fierce as when the great water came.
Towards the end of the battle between the two armies, the soldiers of the Tianyu Kingdom died and fled, and many people simply chose to surrender. In this battle, the night army would almost not blow a blow to defeat the 400,000 army of the Tianyu Kingdom. Although more than 100,000 people escaped in the end, the Heavenly Universe Kingdom would not come to attack the Night Country again in the short term
Because of the relationship between the water diversion and the camp, there was no suspense about the victory of the night army, and the duel that had been deadlocked for several months ended less than a month after Zhao Wu came, and ended with a complete victory for the night army. At this moment, at the city pass, the night army that had returned with a full load let out a shocking cheer to celebrate the victory that they had fought hard for a long time.
That night, Zhao Wu, in his capacity as Marshal Bai, ordered a reward for the three armies. In the heavy rain, countless night soldiers were eating and drinking happily one by one. The loot obtained from the enemy barracks allows the night army to enjoy the night.
At the same time, the enemy troops who had surrendered were taken into custody in one place, and their arms were completely disarmed. From the generals above to the ordinary soldiers, they stood in the rain with uneasy expressions, waiting for the moment to decide their fate. Defeated overnight and reduced to the point of becoming captives, many of the soldiers of the Celestial Universe Kingdom had a feeling that they could not believe the facts.
It's just that they did lose to the Night Army, and it was a fiasco in the first factory. In the rain, some soldiers could not help but express their sorrow, unable to bear the taste of defeat. In the final analysis, in fact, they didn't want to attack the Night Country, all because of Luo Tian's command.
In the big tent of the Chengguan Office, all the generals, including Marshal Bai himself, congratulated Zhao Wu, kept saying flattering words, and praised Zhao Wu's clever strategy. Zhao Wu didn't take those words of praise to heart, but just replied with a smile.
The Night Army had already won a great victory, but because of the situation, Zhao Wu still asked everyone to continue to keep his affairs here a secret. Many generals did not understand why Zhao Wu was so cautious, because in their opinion, as long as the news of Zhao Wu's presiding over this battle spread, it would definitely strengthen Zhao Wu's prestige. It is of great benefit to the Night Kingdom to deter the surrounding countries, and Zhao Wu should accept this honor.
Unlike what they thought, Zhao Wu could not disclose the news of his here, but also transferred the honor to Marshal Bai. In terms of credit, it is naturally decided by the royal family, and now that the crisis on the western border has been resolved, Zhao Wu plans to go back as soon as possible to resume his life, and at the same time discuss some things with the Night Country Monarch.
Months have passed since the war between the two countries began in Snow and Night, and Zhao Wu, who is somewhat uninformed, wants to get news about the whole world from the royal family.
In the camp tent, after Zhao Wu explained some of the situation, and then handed over the important task to Marshal Bai, many generals were puzzled by some of Zhao Wu's methods, but no one questioned them, let alone anyone who intended to disobey Zhao Wu's instructions. In tonight's battle, Zhao Wu's ability has been fully recognized by the generals.
At the end of the celebration, Marshal Bai accepted Zhao Wu's military order and was responsible for all matters on the western border of the Night Kingdom. Tonight, the border of the Night Country is destined to be different from the past, surrounded by a cheerful atmosphere. Although the Sword Emperor Festival has passed for a while, the Night Army can use this battle to celebrate the past Sword Emperor Festival.
After the Night Army closed its troops to celebrate, in West Wind City, in Lin Xuanzhong's house, after half an hour of deliberation by everyone, the matter about Lin Xuanzhong had been resolved.
According to Lan Feng's meaning, Lin Xuanzhong didn't have to keep his mind about the statement of the first person in the inner determination, to be the first of the fifth-order martial cultivators to be the most able to say the past, Lan Feng could easily explain it to people, and this was also the best way that everyone could think of now.
With Lin Xuanzhong's consent, Lan Feng left with a few generals, and in a blink of an eye, only Lin Xuanzhong, Bai Ye, Fang Qing, Ni Youbin, and Tangbao were left in the room. Because Ni Youbin and Fang Qing haven't fought yet, Tangbao wants to stay and watch the excitement, Sugarie leaves with Princess Lanxin, and Liu Neng is still recuperating in his own residence.
There was nothing else to do now, and at the urging of Tangbao, Ni Youbin and Fang Qing walked to the most spacious area of the house. Just like just now, no one can use their strength during the competition. To put it simply, both of them had to concentrate their strength on their weapons.
"Dangdang," after a series of weapons collided, the two people who had tested each other several times accelerated their attack speed at the same time. In terms of martial arts, Ni Youbin is still more prosperous, and Ni Youbin's strength is one grade higher than Fang Qing, so anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ni Youbin has the upper hand now.
Being suppressed by Ni Youbin everywhere, Fang Qing was naturally very angry, so he continued to use his body method like when he fought with Bai Ye just now.
But after a period of time, the competition between the two seemed to be a repeat of the previous competition between Fang Qing and Bai Ye, and after fighting back and forth, Fang Qing's body technique did not work at all.
"Too slow, too weak," seeing that Fang Qing had already played to the maximum, Ni Youbin smiled and made such an evaluation of Fang Qing.
In the next moment, Fang Qing was stimulated by Ni Youbin and suddenly accelerated his attack speed.
"Dangdang," Fang Qing shot desperately as if he was going to desperately fight with Ni Youbin, and his momentum suddenly became fierce.
On the other side, Ni Youbin responded to all changes with the same, no matter how fierce Fang Qing's offensive was, Ni Youbin kept standing in place, rarely making much movement, but every time he could block Xia Qing's attack, so that Fang Qing's efforts were always in vain.
"Fang Qing, your body level is too low, and you are not at the same level as Brother Lin at all!" Seeing that Fang Qing couldn't help himself at all no matter what, Ni Youbin commented very disdainfully.
"Nonsense, my body style is half as good as Brother Lin's, how can you still have a chance to speak?" Annoyed and angry, Fang Qing was really stimulated by Ni Youbin.
"Hehe, although your speed is fast, but the routine has not changed, you are just wasting your efforts to fight like this," didn't take Fang Qing's anger to heart, and smiled Ni Youbin said his opinion without any scruples.
At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong and Bai Ye, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, both had the same feeling as Ni Youbin, Fang Qing's speed was fast, and his moves were not bad, but there were only a few routines to fight. Now that Ni Youbin is already familiar with Fang Qing's routine, even if Fang Qing's speed is faster, it is still useless.
Lin Xuanzhong felt that on the bright side, Shang Qing had always wanted to give full play to the advantages of his body, but in fact he didn't do it and suffered from it. How Fang Qing was performing, Lin Xuanzhong could see it at a glance.
Now Ni Youbin knows Fang Qing's attack characteristics, but Fang Qing doesn't understand Ni Youbin's characteristics at all. In this way, even if there is not much difference in the strength of the two of them, Fang Qing will only lose to Ni Youbin in the end.
After a while, Lin Xuanzhong discovered that Fang Qing was completely using his body method in the wrong way. If it were replaced by himself, he would have used the advantage of his body to force out Ni Youbin's shortcomings, and then used his own strengths and the shortcomings of the enemy to slowly expand his advantages, and then try to win. But Fang Qing's style of play is not at all the same as Lin Xuanzhong imagined, although it seems that Fang Qing is the main attacker, but in fact he is very passive.
According to Lin Xuanzhong's own understanding, Fang Qing's current behavior was only to use his body method to attack more times, not to use his body method to create more useful attack opportunities, so Fang Qing's way of using body method completely deviated from the correct direction, just like Ni Youbin said just now, it would be in vain to fight again.
The more he looked at Lin Xuanzhong, the more he saw Fang Qing's every move clearly, although Bai Ye on the side did not see as thoroughly as Lin Xuanzhong, he could still see that Fang Qing alone could not defeat Ni Youbin, if Fang Qing was in a state of confusion at this moment, Ni Youbin would easily be able to break through Fang Qing's offensive and make Fang Qing flawed.
