"Kang Yun!"

"The minister is here!" Hearing Chu Xun call his name, Kang Yun hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, "What does the prime minister command?"

"I order you to mobilize a thousand people, quickly leave the city, and go to Mijiangba to stand by. Chu Xun also thought of a strategy, "When the Zhou army approaches Huajun and crosses the Mijiang River, immediately open the gate and release the water!"

"Wow!" Kang Yun ordered.

Huajun has done a good job of water conservancy, and in the past two years, a dam has been built at the source of the Mijiang River, and there have been no more floods. There is also a good overall planning for the use of water resources in the Mijiang River. The upstream water resources that have been stored to cope with the dry season come in handy at this time.

Chu Meiren sighed when she heard this: "I can actually think of using the reservoir dam to launch a water attack on the Zhou army, Jiang is still old and spicy!"

"If you attack it halfway, you will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the Zhou army! The prime minister is worthy of being my arm!" Liu Yuanxiang praised from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Xun stroked his beard with a smile.

Tang Niu's side didn't know that his army was exposed, and he was still in a state of concealment, marching rapidly in the direction of Huajun, preparing to take the other party by surprise.

As everyone knows, Huajun has prepared in advance and has prepared a coping strategy.

The army continued to advance and reached the upper reaches of the Mi River.

Along the road, I suddenly saw that there were coffins in the middle of the road, mourning flags were planted around, and there was no one in sight of paper money everywhere, which was particularly weird.

Seeing this, Tang Niu frowned and asked, "Why is this?"

"Isn't it the Hua Kingdom that is suspicious?" Mei Xu was suspicious.

Miao Ji said: "Our army was hidden all the way, and I didn't see the Chinese sergeants. If the other party found out about our army, how could they not react at all?

"Is there such a strange custom here in Huajun, why don't you open the coffin and check it?" Tang Niu said.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Hao, the general beside him, said busily, "When you go out, you should respect the ghosts and gods and stay away." ”

He is a typical Bian Zhou general, and he is particularly taboo about this kind of thing.

As soon as Wei Hao's voice fell, most of Tang Niu's surroundings were people from Bian Zhou, and they all agreed.

Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Tang Niu said: "In this case, the whole army will take a detour. ”

The Zhou army really did as Chu Meiren expected, bypassing the main road and marching from a farther path.

First of all, no matter how much the people in Bian Zhou respect the ghosts and gods, the army goes on the expedition, and it is taboo to encounter many coffins on the road.

The trail needs to be detoured and walked slowly.

Along the way, the flag is still hidden, and the quiet progress is carried out, and at the same time, the scouts are allowed to probe to avoid alarming others.

After walking along the Mijiang River for a long time, I saw the city of Huajun in the distance, and the whole army accelerated.

A dull dragon roar suddenly sounded in his ears, and five divine dragons appeared in the airspace in front of him, shaking their heads and coming this way.

The army of the Zhou State was a little chaotic, and he had long heard that Ning Ze was proficient in spells and could summon the divine dragon to help, didn't he leave here?

Mei Xu saw that the appearance of the divine dragon had caused chaos in the army, and hurriedly said: "This is not a technique, but a special paper kite, but it is made lifelike." According to the intelligence, Sima Fa had intercepted a paper kite from Ning Ze's hand, and the secret had been revealed, so there was no need to be afraid!"

The Zhou army was pacified, and although shocked by the appearance of the dragon-shaped kite bluffing, it continued to march forward.

The army smoothly bypassed the original road and entered the passage across the Mijiang River.

The Chinese army scouts used binoculars to hide in the nearby mountains and forests to observe, and when they saw that the enemy was not frightened by the dragon-shaped kite, they continued to advance, and waited patiently in surprise.

Watching the Zhou army begin to cross the Mijiang River, he was not in a hurry, and waited until most of the enemy troops stepped into the Mijiang area, and lit the fireworks "invented" by Ning Ze according to the instructions.

"Bang!" fireworks flew straight into the air and exploded, turning into brilliant patterns.

"What's that?" The fireworks that suddenly appeared in the air, although extremely beautiful, aroused Tang Niu's vigilance.

No one knew about the generals around him, and they looked at each other.

Mei Xu felt that something was wrong, and immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, the minister always feels that this journey is a little strange. Although I don't know what is going on, there are no pedestrians on the main road of this trip, and there must be something strange! I am afraid that the enemy has already discovered our army, so we should quickly cross the river and rush to attack Huajun. ”

Tang Niu nodded, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is galloping, and quickly cross the river!"

An army of 80,000 must have taken a lot of time to cross the Mijiang River from specific passages and bridges. Therefore, the Zhou army simply went into the water and swam directly.

Even so, it is not so simple to cross such a wide Mijiang River.

Kang Yun had already led people to stand by at Mijiangba, and a thousand people were in their respective positions.

When you see fireworks exploding in the air, you immediately open the floodgates and release water.

The dam's floodgates are primitive and not modern, and they can't be opened without a thousand people.

Under the command of Kang Yun, the people worked together to open the floodgates, and the water that had been accumulated for a long time rushed down, rushing down frantically.

The Zhou army was crossing the Mijiang River, and Tang Niu and his main generals first reached the opposite bank through the main road and bridge. Tens of thousands of soldiers are crossing the river at a rapid pace, and some have arrived without incident.

Suddenly they heard the sound of galloping horses, and everyone listened carefully, but they didn't know what was moving.

Mei Xu's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the upper reaches of the Mijiang River: "Oh no! It must be a big flood pouring upstream, and the enemy army has already discovered our army and set a trap in advance! Hurry up! Cross the river quickly! If you don't have time, turn back quickly, and don't stay in the river." ”

The generals immediately gave orders to the soldiers who swam halfway to speed up, and those who had just entered the water, or who had not yet entered the water, let them retreat away from the river.

The scene was chaotic, after all, it was 80,000 people, and most of them entered the river. It's going to take a while just to pass the word.

After receiving the order, those on both sides of the Mijiang River who were about to reach the shore, those who had just entered the water or had not yet entered the water, either accelerated to the shore or quickly turned around.

The river came in a hurry, rushing in an instant, and a large number of soldiers happened to be in the center of the Mijiang River, neither advancing nor retreating.

Finding that the water was surging, they were so frightened that they swam desperately and fled for their lives to the front and back banks.

A lucky few people arrived at the shore before the river arrived, and the rest faced the wrath of the river and were flooded in an instant.

Under the heavy water, the Zhou army suffered heavy casualties, and at least tens of thousands of people were washed away by the water, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Finally regrouping the troops and horses, Tang Niu said angrily: "Break through Huajun with me, and I will protect this revenge!"

The army of the Zhou State advanced mightily.

Just after walking for a while, a large number of hot air balloons in the direction of Huajun rose into the air and flew slowly.

"Your Majesty," the military general next to him pointed to the air and exclaimed, "Look!"

"It's Ning Ze's hot air balloon!" Through various intelligence, as well as information on the battlefield, the hot air balloon is no longer top secret. Mei Xu reminded, "Ning Ze often uses this thing to release ghost fire, which is quite dangerous. ”

Tang Niu looked at the hot air balloons flying slowly in the air, and said in a cold voice: "Just rely on these hot air balloons, can you stop my army? Leave it alone, target Huajun, and the whole army will march quickly! These are just small means, as long as Huajun is conquered, everything will be fine!"

After receiving Tang Niu's instructions, the army of Zhou did not stop and continued to march quickly.

There was no one in the farmland and mountains on the road, and it was certain that Huaguo got the news in advance and recalled the people to the city.

Although it is not clear how the other side detected their own army, in short, the troops in the city will definitely not be able to stop the onslaught of the army.

The army of the Zhou State soon encountered the hot air balloon, and at the height of the hot air balloon, no matter the bow and arrow could not be shot, it was pointless to entangle with it. So just ignore it!

The army of Zhou ignored the hot air balloons, and the hot air balloons would not ignore them.

When the Chinese soldiers flying in balloons flew over the enemy army, they threw the phosphorus fire canisters prepared in advance one after another.

The target of the Zhou army is too big, so you don't need to aim at it.

The phosphorus pot smashed down, and it could hit a piece casually.

The can exploded, the phosphorus powder was splashed, and it burned instantly.

The continuous attack left many soldiers of the Zhou State injured or even killed.

It's just that the hot air balloon is limited after all, and the enemy army still successfully rushed to the gate of Huajun.

Liang Teng led the generals to guard the city wall and stand by at any time.

Tang Niu led the army to the city, didn't bother to talk nonsense at all, and directly ordered the whole army to attack.

Under the leadership of the generals, the army of the Zhou State quickly assembled the ladder and slaughtered towards the city gate.

"Kill the enemy!" Liang Teng commanded the operation, and in the face of the first wave of the offensive of the Zhou army, he decisively used the explosive crossbow, "Crossbow soldiers prepare!"

"Kill ——!!" Zhou soldiers rushed to the city and launched a direct attack.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The crossbowmen in the city used explosive crossbows as if they didn't want money, and shot them out into dense places. Every explosion can harvest a large number of Zhou soldiers, and the momentum is amazing.

There were heavy casualties at the beginning of the siege, Tang Niu frowned, he didn't expect the Huajun army to counterattack so strongly.

Mei Xu said to him: "Your Majesty, this thing is made by Ning Ze, although the power is amazing, it is not easy to make, and the quantity is limited. Just hold on for a while, and when the enemy army is exhausted, the victory will be clear!"

Over the years, various forces have been trying to infiltrate and steal information from other forces.

There are some things on Ning Ze's side that are gradually leaking and are no longer mysterious.

Regarding Mei Xu's statement, Tang Niu thought deeply: "Spread my will, don't rush to capture Huajun!"

"Capture Huajun and kill ——!!" The generals of Zhou led their troops to charge, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The Chinese soldiers desperately shot explosive crossbow arrows, and the flames at the city gate soared into the sky, and the explosions exploded again and again.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Zhou State had already killed and wounded more than 2,000 people, and due to the terrible power of the explosive crossbow, he could not successfully climb the city wall.

Although the Huaguo explosive crossbow was used up, there were still a large number of phosphorus fire pots, boiling water, sassal wood, and gold juice, and they still persisted.

The Zhou army couldn't even go up the city wall, and they couldn't break through the city gate, and the waves of attacks were blocked by the other side.

Half a day of non-stop marching, halfway by the Mijiang River flood, to this side without rest directly attack the city, and was bombarded by the explosion of the crossbow again, the Zhou army was exhausted.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Mei Xu hurriedly said to Tang Niu: "Huajun has laid out in advance, and our army has lost the opportunity, so we can't go down." The other party is ready to stick to the city and wait for work, which is not good for us! It is better to retreat for the time being, just block the main roads in Huajun, recuperate and recharge, and fight again when the time comes, and we will definitely be able to conquer it!"

"Makes sense!" If the Chinese army had not prepared in advance, the city gate would have been breached at this moment. However, the other party's layout in advance was not conducive to the Zhou army, which had been on the road for most of the day. Tang Niu agreed with Mei Xu's opinion and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the troops were divided into four ways to besiege the four gates of Huajun, so that the other party could not escape.
