Section 24 Defeat of the army
The June march on the banks of the flood, the August confronting the Chiyou army, a vigorous battle of the tribal alliance is imminent.
This was supposed to be a war that would have been three years later, but now that it has come early, no one knows what the final outcome will be. Due to the influence of a variety of reasons, this war that should not have existed has long deviated from the original fateful arrangement, because there are too many variables, and even the Yin and Yang Bagua Technique is difficult to work at this moment.
In the garrison camp, I kept calculating every day, and found that the wheel of life began to change more and more frequently. It used to be days to get the same result, but now it's pinched several times a day, and a different conclusion can be reached almost every day.
She is calmer than me, I believe that her tribe of the Xuanyuan clan will not touch the fate chart again, and I have always followed the rules and have not done anything against common sense. So what is changing all this?
On this day, I was meditating on this matter again, because in my constant calculations, in just one morning, the wheel of life changed twice. Even if I know what is going to happen, as long as I don't change anything, logically speaking, what will happen in the future will happen as it will be. But I didn't do anything, so why does the horoscope change so often?
Could it be that in addition to me and Ju Yuan, there are other people in this world who know how to spy on the heavens, and keep touching the natal chart to make new deployments?
The south of the mountain looks at the ocean in the distance, and there is no grass growing in the flood, and there is not a single figure in the strong Chiyou army in the south.
A few days later, the Yellow Emperor went out on patrol, took a boat to the south, accompanied the boat more than 100 times left and right, and the momentum was huge and mighty. I was ordered to garrison the camp, sit in the rear of the hexagram divination, store grain and build embankments to wait for good news.
On a cloudy morning, the flood at the foot of the mountain was surging and surging with waves, followed by a violent rainstorm.
The storm desperately washed everything on the ground, the mud and rocks rolled down and collapsed countless times, and seeing that our Xuanyuan Clan's camp became precarious, I had to order the tribal soldiers to quickly withdraw from the camp and go up the mountain to take shelter together.
The torrential rain continued to fall, and the flood continued to rise sharply under the mountain, but the great leader of the southern tour still did not return, and nine times out of ten he was trapped in the flood, and the situation was somewhat critical.
If this battle is lost, then even if the Yellow Emperor can come back alive, he will not fulfill the promise he made to me. For the sake of the Curtain, I had to fight bravely, otherwise I would never have the opportunity to reunite with the Curtain.
Under my arrangement, dozens of people went on board and into the water with me, broke the waves in the raging floods, and went straight south to find the great leader and the army.
In order to ensure the safety of this trip and the most accurate rescue of the Yellow Emperor and the army, I did not hesitate to use the Yin and Yang Bagua technique to complete the task by spying on the heavens.
The hexagram shows that there is a big murderer on the south side, if the big leader and others cannot be found as soon as possible, the Yellow Emperor's life will be in danger at noon today.
The flood had reached its climax, and on both sides of the boat we were carrying were huge whirlpools, which could be swallowed up at any moment. It was close to noon, and there was not much time left, so in my anxiety I was divining and finding my way, and I continued to go crazy southward in the torrent.
At the moment when it was close to noon, in the vast ocean ahead, countless cries of killing were heard in the distance, and the war seemed to have broken out in advance.
When I led dozens of people to the battlefield, our Xuanyuan clan's human boat had fallen into chaos, and many Xuanyuan people were fleeing.
Under the command of the order, I heard the shouts of the big leader tearing his lungs and livers, ordering the clansmen not to escape, and let everyone fight with Chiyou to the end.
In fact, the rout seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and the great leader seemed to be unable to control his ranks, and the clansmen must have been frightened by the raging flood and had long lost their fighting spirit.
In order to salvage the situation, I shouted to the oarsman to slide quickly, and when I came to the big chief's boat, I immediately dissuaded him and said, "Great chief, the Jiuli people are good at water, and it is very bad for us to fight them in the flood, so let's retreat first." ”
"Nonsense. The big leader replied angrily: "I, the Xuanyuan people, have never been afraid of death, and what is the flood worth, we can still kill Chiyou." ”
The red-eyed Yellow Emperor didn't listen to my dissuasion at all, he commanded the leaders beside him, and asked the soldiers who were holding the line to attack with their oars. I knew I couldn't convince him, so I had to accompany him in this unwinnable war.
When the boats rushed into the fog ahead, I finally saw the Jiuli army in a neat line. In the enemy army, I saw a man in the commander of the fangs and claws, he was tall and burly, wearing horns and armor, it was obvious that this was the most ferocious Chiyou of the Jiuli people in the legend.
I have long heard from Master and Emperor Yan that Chiyou is very smart and knows how to cast bronze armor and blades. The enemy army in front of them is the best example, they all hold bronze blades in their hands and wear armor, as if they were heavenly soldiers.
And our Xuanyuan Clan's army only held some stone and wooden weapons, and wore a thin animal skin at most, which looked weak in comparison.
This is a war with a huge disparity in strength between us and the enemy, and the difference in strength is far from what I can imagine.
In the distance, I suddenly saw Chi You raising his thick arms, looking up to the sky and chanting words, which sounded like he was chanting a spell.
Sure enough, after a whining sound, the flood was accompanied by a surge of mist, turning into an earth-shattering wave that swept towards us.
None of us had ever seen such a strange sight, and everyone was so stunned that they forgot to fetch the water and escaped.
The defeat was decided, and I didn't have time to save more people, so the only thing I could do was to hold down the panicked big leader and call for the people on the boat to turn around and row away.
Under my repeated roars, the people around me threw away their hands and desperately shook their oars to flee, but it was still too late.
The waves crashed fiercely on the boat, swept me and the Yellow Emperor into the flood, and the waves swept me into the water, choking me almost to suffocate. Fortunately, I have memories of being good at water in my past life, and in the confusion, I grabbed the arm of the big leader and dragged him back desperately.
I don't know how long I swam, but in the flood, I finally encountered a boat that managed to escape, calling for my people to help me rescue the Yellow Emperor.
The big leader was poor in water, and he didn't know how much saliva he had choked on in the flood, and he kept his head down and remained silent after getting on the boat, and the whole person became very quiet.
As I continued to escape, I turned to look behind me. At this time, the flood was not so turbulent, and the corpses of Xuanyuan soldiers were floating everywhere on the water, and those who were lucky enough to survive were killed by the Jiuli people who went into the water one by one.
This is a tragedy, countless people's lives have died in this way in the arrogance of the great leader, this battle our Xuanyuan clan lost completely, and my sweet dream seems to have collapsed at this moment.
I can't stand it, it's really miserable. In order to save the remnants of the water, I ordered a halt to flee and angrily began to chant a spell at the surface of the water.
I'm not as powerful as Chiyou, and I don't know how to chant spells to summon the flood of huge waves, but I and I have practiced witchcraft in Kurosawa, and what we are currently casting is one of the ecstasy spells.
We have only realized this method in our minds, and we have never really started it, and we don't know how effective it is.
When I finished casting the spell, I saw that the Jiuli people in the water immediately became chaotic, sometimes they cried and laughed, sometimes their own people attacked each other, as if they had stopped any command of Chiyou.
I called out to the warriors who had survived from afar, and told them to take advantage of the chaos and flee immediately. At the same time, I ordered the oarsmen to row for them, and then cast a spell to stop the boundless rain, but when it came, I continued to cast the Ecstasy Charm.
Soon the rain stopped in the sky and the clouds dispersed, and the scorching sun shone brightly.
The Jiuli people did not attack again, they were busy going into the water to save the confused soldiers, and only Chiyou rowed at me in a boat.
