340, calling for wind and rain
Zhuge Liang's plan is vicious, setting traps for the weaknesses of the Changding Army, interlocking with each other, and letting the Changding Army fall into the urn step by step.
Chu He asked himself if he hadn't found the mountain people, he would definitely not let Ma Zhong's army of more than 200,000 stay in the Hulu Valley and become a nail inserted in Nanhua Mountain, but it was difficult to storm it, so he could only implement a blockade strategy.
Once the flash flood hits, the Changding army will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the base camp will fall into chaos, Zhao Zilong and Chen will attack, plus Zhuge Liang or Zhuge Wolong, it is likely that the Chu River will be killed in the Nanhua Mountains!
Zhuge Liang is worthy of being the Three Kingdoms of Zhiguan, so that Zhou Yu can give birth to the power of both Shengyu and He Shengliang who have sighed through the ages, if the plan is successful, he can make Chu He's years of hard work ruined, and completely eradicate the great trouble of Chang Dingjun.
As a result, the strength of the anti-Shu coalition army was greatly reduced, and finally the anti-Shu trend was easily quelled and the Shu State was unified.
Chang Dingjun was able to escape this catastrophe, I have to say that it was a fluke, or it was a lot of luck.
Huang Zhong and the others learned of the conspiracy of the Shu army from the mouth of the Chu River, and they also broke out in a cold sweat, and they were afraid.
On the issue of the retreat of most of the Standing Army, however, the generals were divided.
Huang Zhong and other veterans, all of whom were steady, felt that they should quickly withdraw to Xianren Ridge, leaving only the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry and the strong men in the army to guard outside the gourd valley.
And Jiang Wei and the others are the new generals who feel that they will not move for the time being, and they will withdraw at the same time when Long He is ready to prepare everything and start transporting food and materials, so as not to be discovered by the Shu army and carry out the conspiracy in advance.
There are pros and cons to both options.
If according to the intention of Huang Zhong and other veterans, the Changding army retreated in a big way, it will definitely immediately attract the attention of the Shu army, and once the Tiebi Ridge is blown up, a large amount of rice and grain materials in the base camp will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
For example, according to the intention of Jiang Wei and other cutting-edge generals, the Changding army on the side of Hulu Valley will have to take considerable risks, and if the movement of Long He is discovered by Zhao Yun and others, it may also attract the attention of the Shu army and launch a conspiracy in advance.
Chu He is still more inclined to Jiang Wei's opinion, but it is necessary to find out the situation of the pond more accurately.
A series of orders went down, and on the side of the base camp, the army of Long and the wooden elephant set out, ostensibly to pursue and find the whereabouts of the Bai Yu army, but in fact, it was to transfer the army and isolate the Shu army from prying eyes on the base camp of the Changding army, and in addition, the army and the people were secretly preparing for the transportation of materials.
On the side of the Chu River, although they did not immediately transfer away, the soldiers and horses were also ready to retreat at any time, and many soldiers and horses simply left the Hulu Valley for various reasons, releasing a smoke screen to confuse the Shu army.
There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left, most of whom are proficient in water, as long as they take off their battle armor, even if the flood attacks, relying on their strong physical fitness, they will have a considerable chance of survival.
In addition, Chu He also secretly made up a huge rattan basket quickly, and it was really too late to retreat, and the generals could also enter the rattan basket and escape the flood attack under the capture of the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry.
With the power of the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger, one head can carry twenty Standing Troops away, and now there are a thousand Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry outside the Gourd Valley, and when necessary, most of the Standing Winged Army can be taken away safely.
After promulgating the order, Chu He repeatedly told him to be careful in everything, and never let the Shu army find out the clues, and then changed into an ordinary steel armor helmet, dressed as a scout, restrained his breath, and rode an ordinary scorpion-tailed winged tiger towards the direction of Jishuitan.
It is estimated that Zhuge Liang was also afraid that Chang Dingjun would find out about his plan, and there was no arrangement for the Shu army to take care of Jishuitan here, so as not to attract the attention of Chang Dingjun, anyway, Chu He arrived at Jishuitan very smoothly, and did not find any whereabouts of the Shu army.
This Tiebi Ridge, which is two miles wide and as high as five or six hundred meters, is a natural huge river embankment.
Sure enough, as the old man of the mountain people said, the soil of Tiebi Ridge is loose, and the upper part of the mountain ridge is full of caves that are one person high, Chu He even personally entered the cave to investigate, and found that although the cave is not deep, it is intricate and the caves are connected, and many caves still hide a silver-scaled pangolin, obviously Tiebi Ridge has become the nest of these pangolins.
Under normal circumstances, the silver-scaled pangolin will not cause the collapse of Tiebi Ridge, and their caves are relatively high, which should be above the water level of the original pond.
Today's situation is different, the water surface of the pond has skyrocketed by 100 meters, which has exceeded the height of the pangolin's caves, and many pangolin caves seep water, and even gush out like fountains, and finally converge in the Yundai River, making the water of the Yundai River much more turbulent.
Most of the silver-scaled pangolins are second-grade demon beasts, and there are also many third-grade, fourth-grade, or even fifth-grade silver-scaled pangolins, but these demon beasts are quite peaceful in temperament, and usually feed on the fruits and tubers of various small creatures, insects, and plants.
The mountain people who live in Shiyan Peak make a living by hunting silver-scaled pangolins and catching black bone fish in the Yundai River.
There is nothing for the mountain people, they will not climb the Iron Pen Ridge, after all, there are many powerful demon beasts in the mountains, and the reason why they found that the water level of the pond has skyrocketed is because they suddenly saw a large number of silver-scaled pangolins appear recently, even including many guys of three or four grades.
The mountain people felt that something was wrong, and sent people to venture up to Tiebi Ridge, only to find that the water level of the pond had risen sharply, and a large amount of river water came from the north and poured into the pond, so they immediately moved their clan away.
Chu He carefully investigated the situation of Tiebi Ridge and Jishuitan, and was more and more shocked in his heart, even if the water surface was still more than ten meters away from the low of Tiebi Ridge, but as long as the rainstorm came, a large number of mountains and rivers with nowhere to go gathered in Jishuitan, I am afraid that the water level could be raised by more than ten meters in an instant, flooding Tiebi Ridge.
In addition, if Zhuge Liang hid the three self-exploding wooden oxen and flowing horses in the mountain and detonated them at the same time, he could also destroy Tiebi Ridge, so that the huge pool of water would turn into a flood beast, and they would ravage and kill wildly.
The reason why Zhuge Liang did not launch it for a long time was because he was afraid that the power of the flash flood would not be enough to give the Changding army enough damage, and he would wait until the water line was level with Tiebi Ridge before launching the scheme.
In the back, the water level rises every time, the water storage will rise rapidly, if the water level is ten meters higher, the water storage may be doubled, making the power of the mountain flood more and more amazing.
However, the Chu River is inexperienced, and now the sky is clear, and there is no sign of heavy rain at all.
Although the Bai Yu Army is a first-class elite army in the Shu Kingdom, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses who have entered the anti-Shu territory this time.
The battle with the Changding Army, although it was a victory, hit the dragon and hit hard, but Nanshanwei is not easy to deal with, Nanshanwei with the Shuangyue clan as the core to build, the quality of the soldiers is extremely strong, and the golden bell jar has been cultivated, and it is definitely the leading legion in the new five guards.
The Bai Yu army repelled three thousand Nanshan guards, and its own casualties were not light, and those who suffered heavy losses and lost their combat effectiveness, and they could not be treated for a while, and they were all killed by Chen Zhi's ruthless order, so as not to fall into the hands of the Changding army.
Now there are less than 2,600 of the 3,000 Bai Yu army.
Zhao Zilong and Chen Zhi, the two gods of war, of course knew Zhuge Liang's plan, and their first task was to drag the rear of the Changding army and strive to mobilize more men and horses in Chu River to defend the base camp.
The sudden change of Chang Dingjun made Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi very suspicious.
Although the terrain of Tianzhou is relatively complex, and it is not difficult to hide an elite army of more than 2,000 people, many spies of the Standing Army have gone out, and there are still many possible discoveries of the whereabouts of the White Yu Army, such as the Giant Blood Dog, the Blood Devouring Wolf, the Giant Nose Rat, etc., when many of the spies of the Standing Army go out, plus the various beasts on the side of the Southern Barbarian Army who are responsible for searching for the enemy's traces, there are still many possible discoveries of the whereabouts of the White Yu Army.
For this reason, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi had to carefully hide their whereabouts, hiding in an extremely secret forest swamp, and using the mist miasma of the swamp to avoid the detection of various tracking beasts.
If the flood comes, the dense 100-meter-tall giant trees in the swamp can greatly weaken the water potential, and the Bai Yu army can also climb the trees to avoid the threat of the flood.
But in this way, it became quite difficult for the Bai Yu army to spy on the movements of the Changding army's base camp, and many flying cavalry sent out were all discovered and killed by the Changding army, even if it was a powerful scout, it was difficult to approach the Changding army's camp within ten miles.
Of course, the White Falcon Army dared to go deep alone, and there was still a certain amount of reliance, including an Eagle Falcon Scout Team.
With the help of the alchemist, the falcon can be trained to become his own eyes and ears, detect the situation of the outside world, and the movements of the Changding army are detected by these falcons.
The rapid movement of the Changding Army and the Southern Barbarian Army and the large-scale departure from the barracks greatly aroused Zhao Yun's suspicions.
As the strongest god of war in Shu and the only one of the five tiger generals who stayed in Shu Kingdom, Zhao Yun's power in the world was by no means his unparalleled handsomeness, but his military strength and military quality.
At this time, Zhao Yun and Chen arrived in front of them, laying out a huge animal skin map, this map was much more detailed than the map in the hands of Chu He and Meng Shu, and even a small ravine was not missing.
The two of them stared at the map for a long time, and the stones representing the Changding Army and the Southern Barbarian Army were placed on the map, and it didn't take long for Zhao Yun's face to change, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not good!"
Chen Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "General Zhao can see the anti-army intentions?"
"General Chen, please look!"
Zhao Zilong said in a deep voice, and then with a slight flick of his palm, he saw dozens of small stones on the map slowly moving.
"Although the rebels are out in all directions, they look disorganized!"
"But more than a dozen of these troops are all hidden from people, the number does not exceed hundreds, and the troops of more than a hundred are moving in the direction of close to the high ground everywhere!"
Chen Zhi, the chief general of the Bai Yu Army, of course, couldn't be worse, listening to Zhao Yun's reminder, he immediately found the problem, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he looked at the moving stones on the map fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "What General Zhao said is extremely true!"
His face became more and more gloomy, and he paused for a moment before he said slowly: "Mo Dingjun has discovered Wen Xiang's plan?"
"Is there any movement in the Changding army of Hulu Valley?"
Zhao Zilong is not the chief general of the Bai Yu Army, and the military reports of the Bai Yu Army have all fallen into the hands of Chen Zhi, if it is an unimportant matter, Chen Zhi will naturally not discuss it with Zhao Yun.
Chen Zhi shook his head: "General Ma's side, there are not too many military reports coming. They had already entered the Hulu Valley, and it was difficult to spot the movements of the Changding army. ”
Known as a generation of Confucian generals with a minister's pattern by later generations, and praised by Liu Bei as a victorious general with courage, Zhao Zilong is both civil and military, and has condensed ten martial arts and three Wenxin, among which there is a wise courage!
The greatest role of wisdom and courage is that it can deduce the war, which is the most important reason for Zhao Zilong's title of victorious general.
Countless mystical aura suddenly enveloped Zhao Zilong, and there were countless pictures in the depths of his pupils that were annihilated, and finally a cold light erupted and shot out from his eyes, Zhao Zilong retracted his wisdom and courage, and said in a deep voice: "Chang Dingjun is likely to have seen through Wen Xiang's plan, and immediately sent a message to inform Wen Xiang!"
"All the reconnaissance falcons are dispatched, enter the permanent army camp at all costs, and detect all the situations in the standing army camp!"
Although Chen Zhi is under the jurisdiction of Li Yan, such a major event will naturally not be raised with Zhao Zilong.
In the middle of Nanhua Mountain, an old man in a cloth robe and robe, stretched out his palm, and a rune fell.
This extremely ordinary-looking old man is Zhuge Zhuge Kongming, who is the Zhiguan Three Kingdoms and the world-shattering Zhuge Kongming!
The rune fell into his hand, and then spontaneously combusted without fire.
Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook slightly, pinched his fingers, and finally sighed: "The destiny of heaven is like this, and it is beyond human power to recover!"
Together with Zhuge Liang, there are dozens of scribes with majestic bearings and divine light and mysterious qi all over their bodies, all of whom are first-class literary and Taoist powerhouses in the Shu Kingdom, including three seven-rank iQue scholars, and a cadre of people who are arranged in an extremely mysterious direction, showing the image of gossip.
"Array! Cast spells!"
Zhuge Liang's face instantly became solemn, the feather fan in his hand shook suddenly, the wind suddenly rose, and the clouds covering the mountain dispersed.
Dozens of scribes made a promise at the same time, all of them burst out with majestic literary power, their bodies rose out of thin air, and the power of sixteen scribes surged towards the eight array eyes, and then all of them were poured into Zhuge Liang in the big array.
At this time, Zhuge Liang simply became the incarnation of the gods, full of incomparable might, and he could destroy the heavens and the earth with every move.
An incomparably terrifying aura rose to the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, the heavens and the earth changed their faces in an instant, and countless clouds, mist and water vapor converged towards the mountain, just tea time, the sky was completely darkened, and a cloud of dark clouds covering hundreds of miles in an unknown radius blocked the daylight, plunging the vast mountains and forests below into darkness.
A huge amount of water vapor gathered, the vast void, the air became extremely humid, the leaves condensed water droplets, and the rocks seeped water droplets.
As Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook, the dust and ashes in the sky turned into an incomparably thick dragon and went straight into the clouds.
All kinds of techniques are inseparable from the principle of heaven and earth, which is also an important reason why Chu He and Wu Mei'er can quickly cultivate the Wendao to the realm of five or six grades.
The extremely high humidity, combined with the dust core, can absorb water vapor and form clouds and rain.
The gray dragon rushed to the sky, as if it was a real dragon that summoned the water of the four seas, and instantly saw the majestic rain pouring down into the sky, as if a gap appeared in the river in the sky, pouring the water of hundreds of millions of heavenly rivers towards the world.
