Chapter Seventy-Four: The Mountain Rain is Coming
(In order to facilitate the reading habits of readers, for places where there are immortals or immortals, they generally use the title of "person", or "everyone" and "crowd", I hope you understand)
In the past few days, the Dragon Palace has been immersed in a tense atmosphere, because some secret agents heard the information that the naval troops of the Heavenly Army have been trained and will attack the Dragon Palace in the next few days, so the people in the Dragon Palace are nervous, and they are ready to fight the Heavenly Army at any time.
However, the intelligence of this spy does not seem to be particularly accurate, and he also reported that the Heavenly Army is coming to attack today, and he will also report that the Heavenly Army is coming to attack tomorrow, which makes the soldiers and generals of the Water Tribe always in a high degree of mental tension. The Aqua soldiers were ready to fight, but they waited day after day, but the Celestial Army's sailors still did not come, which not only made them a little discouraged, but also made their guard a little relaxed.
The dragon king didn't sleep well last night, after he consulted with the generals about the military, made various military arrangements, and sent them away, but he couldn't sleep, as soon as he fell asleep, he dreamed of the dream he had a few days ago, and that dream was like a demon that had been around him all this time, making him not sleep well.
The dream was first a hazy red, and he was alone in the red of the void, and then the red became purple, and then out of the purple void came many snake heads to bite at him, and then these snake heads became the heads of the farmer, and they also bit at himγγγγγγ
Whenever he dreamed of these scenes, he would be awakened. After waking up, he can't sleep anymore, and sometimes even if he falls asleep again, he will have this dream again after a while, so that he will be awakened again, and he doesn't know what happened.
Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up, so the dragon king got up without knowing what time of day he put on his clothes. The intelligence of the past few days has made him very uneasy, that spy was personally planted into the Heavenly Army through an old friend, and it stands to reason that the information he found should be accurate, but the spy only entered the high-level of the Heavenly Army, and did not enter the decision-making level of the Heavenly Army, so he still can't get 100% absolutely accurate information with absolutely confidential military information like this.
However, one thing is for sure, the Heavenly Court's naval army has been formed, and the training has been completed, and the attack on the Dragon Palace is only a matter of the next few days. Therefore, he has made careful arrangements, and the Dragon Palace is full of layers of defense troops inside and out, just waiting for the naval army of the Heavenly Army to arrive, he can wipe them out.
The dragon king got up and studied the map of the military deployment repeatedly, and he glanced out the window, and saw that it was still dark outside, so he turned the wick a little bigger.
"Well, this is the first line of defense, here is the second layer of defense, this is the only way for the Heavenly Army to enter my Dragon Palace, and the defense here seems to be a little weakγγγγγγ He thought about it carefully, looking for any omissions in the defense.
"Chicken cluck~~" A rooster crow startled the dragon king, pulling him back from his thoughts, he looked at the hour, it was only four watches.
"Chicken cluck" "Chicken cluck" With the crow of the rooster just now, there were several more chicken crows. The dragon king let out a long sigh at the map, and then he felt sleepy.
Suddenly, I could only hear a "Who!" from a distance, and as the sound of the question fell, there was a sound of fighting. After a while, the fighting stopped, and only the sound of "Tied up!" could be heard in the distance.
These voices woke the Dragon King up again, what was the matter, he thought.
Listening to the sound should be the sound of the vigilant force catching someone. He took a bamboo stick and turned the wick a little bigger, and was about to take the lamp and go to the window to have a look, when a steward walked in lightly.
The steward reported and said, "Dragon King, two black-clothed people were caught outside just now, and now they have just been tied up, and they haven't had time to interrogate them yet." β
"Oh, be sure to ask!" said the Dragon King. Again:
"What kind of people are they?"
"It's unclear what happened now, but judging by the way he dressed, he looked a little like a spy from the Heavenly Army. β
"Okay, come and report me when you ask clearly!" said the Dragon King.
The steward answered and went down. He picked up the lamp and continued to look at the military deployment map. But with the incident just now, his heart could no longer be calm, and he looked at it and returned to the incident just now. "Looks like the Celestial Army is in a hurry!" he thought.
He thought again: "Most of this Heavenly Army does not know the nature of water, and if they want to attack the Dragon Palace, they can only rely on his naval troops to carry it out, but all their naval troops are only a few thousand people, which is not a threat to our army at all! Not to mention that all of our Shui Clan troops are good at conquest and combat in the water, even the newly reinforced South China Sea army also has several thousand people, and these troops in the South China Sea alone can almost deal with these Heavenly Army." A slight smile appeared on his face at the thought of this. Gradually, he felt a little sleepy again.
At this moment, I heard another voice outside: "What person, stopγγγγγγ After a while, another voice shouted, "Quick, take these people down!" and soon there was the sound of weapons clashing.
After a while, the fighting stopped. "Take it away!" said a voice again.
It didn't take long for another steward to run over, and he saw that the dragon king hadn't had time to report to the dragon king, and the dragon king spoke first:
"What's going on again?"
"Back to the Dragon King, the patrol team just caught a few more peopleγγγγγγ β
"Who are they?"
"It's not too clear, but judging from the appearance, it should be in the same group as the two people just now. β
"Oh, interrogate well, report to me in time if there is any situation. β
"Yes, yes!" replied the steward and withdrew.
"It seems that the Heavenly Army is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry!" thought the Dragon King. "Fortunately, I was prepared for it, otherwise they might have really taken advantage of itγγγγγγ β
After a while, there was another sound of "chicken clucking", and the dragon king looked out the window, it was still dark, and he looked at the hour, it was already five watches.
It's been another sleepless night, thought the Dragon King. Thinking about it, he closed his eyes and prepared to rest for a while. Because it won't be long before the generals come over to discuss matters, and then they will be busy, and if they want to rest, they will not have time. He wanted to use the time to take as little rest as possible.
At this time, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the Dragon Palace, and the sound was no longer one or two, but a large burst, and after a while, with this sound came the sound of weapons resonating. The sound is getting louder and louder. It turned out that it was the naval army of the Celestial Army that launched a surprise attack.
This time, the heavenly soldiers were also ready to rush to the full, they first released the news that they were going to attack the Dragon Palace two days ago, but they did not move, and the next day they released similar news, and they did not send troops to carry out a real attack on the Dragon Palace. Their aim is to confuse the enemy, to put them on high alert at first, and then to let their guard down because they cannot withstand the torture of mental stress.
After the news was released twice, they felt that the Dragon Palace was already in a very tired state, so they saw the opportunity and suddenly launched an attack. At this time, the naval forces of the Heavenly Army had already sent two groups of spies to the Dragon Palace to explore the news before the attack, but after waiting for a long time, they had not waited for their news, they speculated that the two secret agents should have encountered an accident, so they did not wait any longer, and launched an attack on all fronts.
This attack on the Dragon Palace was carried out by a new general of the Navy, who was specially sent by the Heavenly Court to help with the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon King. His surname is Jiang, and his single name is Miao.
This Jiang Miao also grew up by the water since he was a child, he is the nephew of the former Dragon King of the East China Sea, their family was also a famous family in the East China Sea, he has been familiar with water since he was a child, and under the infection of the family environment, he has studied the method of the navy at a very young age, so when he grows up, he is naturally proficient in all kinds of naval offensive and defensive combat preparations. Heavenly Court saw that he was very good at this area, and he was loyal to Heavenly Court, so this time he appointed him to serve as the commander of the naval army this time to assist Bai Jin in capturing the Dragon King.
As soon as the dragon king closed his eyes, the steward came to report again, and after the steward came in, he no longer cared whether the dragon king was asleep or not, and said loudly to the dragon king: "Report to the dragon king, the heavenly army has launched a large-scale attack, and a fierce battle has broken out in our army!"
When the dragon king heard the news, he immediately stood up from his chair, although this matter had been expected by him, but he still felt a little shocked when the steward reported it.
"Have all the generals gone to their positions?" asked the Dragon King.
"There are several front-line generals who are already directing the operation, and the other generals are estimated to be on the battlefield soon. β
"Okay, pass on my order, you must resist to the death, and you must not let the heavenly army attack!"
"Yes!" the steward had not been gone long before the tyrant came in in a hurry, and as soon as he came in, he said:
"Does the Dragon King know about the attack of the Heavenly Army?"
"I already know!" he added.
"Don't panic, we just need to fight according to the predetermined tactics, and they won't be able to attack it!"
It turned out that the Dragon King had long known that the Celestial Army's naval army was going to attack the Dragon Palace, and he had made all the preparations, and his weapons had been arranged in a pocket array. The specific arrangements were: Slightly weaker forces were deployed at the necessary places for the Celestial Army's attack, and then relatively strong main forces were placed on the left and right flanks of this contingent, and when the Celestial Army attacked, the weaker troops pretended to be defeated in order to lure the Celestial Army; when they advanced forward and entered the predetermined encirclement, the main forces on the left and right flanks attacked together to encircle the Celestial Army's naval forces in it, and then achieved the goal of destroying the Celestial Army.
Baxia nodded, but there was still some panic on his face, because this was the first time that an enemy army had penetrated deep into the headquarters of the Dragon Palace. He asked with a little doubt, "Does the Dragon King have any other instructions?"
The Dragon King pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, this was Shark Shuai, Prince Zhang, Zichou Immortal, etc., who had also arrived, and they all looked at the Dragon King together, and they all had some panicked expressions on their faces.
The Dragon King greeted everyone, and repeated what he had just said to the overlord, asking everyone to fight according to the established tactics. The Dragon King saw that Shark Shuai was present and said, "Are the outflanking troops on the left and right flanks ready?"
Shark Shuai replied: "It's all in place, just wait for the Dragon King's order!"
"Good!" said the Dragon King. "Let the troops facing the frontal fight back a little more, and make a good appearance!"
"Yes!" replied Shark Shuai.
This is the Dragon King of the South Sea, the Northern Immortal Weng and some other generals have already arrived at the main hall. After making a little arrangement, the dragon king then ordered: "Shark Shuai, Baxia and several generals will come to the front line to command the battle, and they must act according to the original plan, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes!" the two of them replied.
"The rest of the people will follow me to the viewing platform to direct the battle!" he said, straightening his clothes and walking outside. The others also followed the dragon king out of the main hall together.
The dragon king boarded the viewing platform, and saw that the fierce battle outside the dragon king was in full swing, and the naval army of the heavenly army was rushing forward vigorously under the command of the rear command flag, and his own troops were resisting day by day, and it seemed that they were already overwhelmed. He nodded his head and twisted his beard with his hands, thinking that it would be up to the troops on the left and right flanks.
This viewing platform is a high platform at the back of the Dragon Palace, and everything can be seen from standing in the Dragon Palace and outside the Dragon Palace.
When he was watching, he saw that the troops fighting the Heavenly Army had retreated to the predetermined position, and they seemed to really think that the Dragon King's army could not resist their own attack, and their morale was positive, and they were rushing forward vigorously.
The dragon king's heart rose to his throat, and he looked at the position of the left and right wings without listening, hoping that nothing would go wrong.
At this moment, he saw the commander in the rear of the battle wave the flag, and saw that countless soldiers appeared from the left and right positions, all of them holding shiny weapons in their hands, and pounced on the rear of the heavenly army like a fierce tiger in the mountains.
"Good!" the dragon king shouted. He clenched his hands into fists, right or wrong in this move, although he had experienced the war, but at this time his heart was also slightly excited.
The outflanked troops on the left and right shouted to kill the naval army of the Heavenly Army, and the Heavenly Army seemed to have not expected this in advance, and it was obvious that they were in a mess, only to see that some of their teams turned around and turned around to meet the outflanked Dragon King army under the command of Ling Qi. However, although they commanded well, they were still a little frightened and obviously frightened under the powerful momentum of the powerful encirclement on all sides.
This is another wave of the Shark Shuai's commanding flag, only to see that the army that was still retreating was also retreating at this time, and launched an attack on the heavenly army with the outflanked army.
"Good!" the dragon king called out again. He couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and shouted, "Beat the drum!"
"Knock knock!" the earth-shattering drum sounded, and the drum was motivating the soldiers of the Dragon Palace. When the attacking soldiers heard this drum beat, they all added invisible motivation and killed the heavenly army with a more courageous posture.
At this time, looking at the camp of the Heavenly Army, I saw that they were obviously in a state of panic to meet the battle, some of the military flags at the front had fallen, and the soldiers who disposed of the center of the army were also in a mess, and there were enemy troops everywhere, they did not know who to face, which one to attack the main one, and which direction to break through.
At this time, the commander of the Heavenly Army seemed to be relatively reasonable, and they were not confused by this temporary ignorance, only to see the command flag in the rear of the Heavenly Army wave, and then pointed sharply to the front, as if ordering the soldiers not to care about the enemy forces behind, to make them rush forward vigorously. And at this moment, the rear of the Celestial Army also beat the drums of war. "Knock knock!" The drums also inspired the soldiers of the Celestial Army. After hearing the sound of the drums, they all regained their spirits, unified their direction, and rushed desperately in the direction of the original attack.
"Well, the commander of this heavenly army's naval army is still good!" the dragon king thought to himself, twisting his beard. It was indeed a wise move for him to be able to command the team to rush forward in such an unfavorable situation.
However, the Dragon King thought proudly: Even if you command skillfully, you will not be able to play any role in my encirclement, because I have other killer skills! Thinking of this, he turned back to Prince Zhang next to him, and said, "How are the reserve troops prepared, are they all in place?"
"It's all ready, you can only launch an attack with an order from your father!" Prince Zhang said happily, he also thought that this battle was already in his hands.
"Well, good!" the dragon king twisted his beard again, and continued to look down to watch the battle progress.
When he looked again, he saw that although the soldiers of the Heavenly Army were stubbornly charging, the troops of the Dragon Palace were even more heroic. I saw that under the siege of the Dragon Palace army, the naval army of the Heavenly Army had suffered serious casualties, and the flags in their ranks also fell one after another. Judging from the scene, the army of the Dragon Palace has already gained the absolute upper hand.
However, the dragon king took a closer look, and he found that the heavenly army dispatched this time did not seem to have as many as in the secret agent's report. Originally, the secret letter reported that it was about 5,000 sailors to attack the Dragon Palace, but he carefully estimated it, and looking at their number, there were 3,000 people.
"Not good!" An ominous premonition rose in his heart, and he was about to explain the matter, when he saw the rear of the heavenly army wave the banner again, and as the war drums beat louder, the beating of the drums was very different from the original, and the sound of the drums was tight and dense, as if expressing another meaning.
Sure enough, with the sound of drums, the tsunami-like shouts of the mountains sounded, and a team rushed out from the rear of the heavenly army, which held the flag high and pounced on the water tribe army like a dragon entering the sea, thus forming a counter-encirclement of the dragon king's army on the scene.
"Wow, who is the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Army this time, it's really quite a bit of a problem!" thought the Dragon King, but fortunately he had taken sufficient precautions in advance, and he had already expected this situation, so he was not frightened in his heart.
The dragon king was about to open his mouth to shout, but he saw the command flag behind his army wave, and more troops rushed out from the left and right, these troops were also holding high the banner, and when they rushed up, they made a detour from the rear, and suddenly surrounded the heavenly army that had just rushed into the battle array.
This is a really big scene is wonderful, the innermost is the surrounded Heavenly Army, the outside is the Dragon King's army, and then the outside is the reinforcements of the Heavenly Army, and the outermost is the Dragon King's encircled troops, so layer by layer, layer by layer to form encirclement and counter-encirclement, this melee is really a rare battle scene. I saw that all kinds of flags were intertwined on the battlefield, and clothes of various colors were mixed together, and they fought and scuffled, forming a sea of battle.
The people watching the battle were all shocked, even the dragon king himself was a little frightened, although he was also a long-time war, but he really didn't see many chaotic scenes like this.
