In the early morning, the sky was still overcast, as if last night's flood had taken away the power of the rain, and the rain had finally stopped.

Ji Jing sat on a high post, not even wearing a helmet, holding a spear in his hand, and staring blankly at the messy camp in front of him.

The world is softer than water, but the attackers are none other than it. The huge camp can prevent people, stop horses, block arrows, and even fire can resist one or two, but in the face of these surging floods, the so-called impregnable gold and copper city iron walls have become a joke.

The water in the camp is slowly receding towards the Xiao River, and the corpses of people and horses floating in the muddy water are constantly being rolled into the river and turned into food for fish and shrimp. Everywhere there are crooked cars, half-hidden tents, scattered flags, and a country of Ze as far as the eye can see.

The rest of the people were looking at this strange place with a panicked face, and from time to time someone burst out into heart-rending cries, calling the names of their own relatives and clansmen in the army.

The formations of various families and armies were disrupted, and some people tried to gather their own men, but in the end, the more desperate they became, looking at the scattered few people, they simply squatted on the ground and cried.

It's so miserable, after taking inventory, a sudden flood actually took the lives of more than 30,000 people, and how can these remaining people, lack of food and clothing, persevere.

"Suppress, retreat, this situation can't go on." Seeing that Ji Jing had aged by more than ten years overnight, Geng Qing was ruthless and said with difficulty.

Ji Jingmu nodded and commanded in a low voice, "Send a letter to Hanlu City, I, Ji Jing, am ashamed of my trust in the eldest young master, and I have caused heavy casualties to the army.

Ordered all families to slowly move west after gathering the men and horses, alternately covering. Inform Ji Zhen and ask him to support Nandu, especially to bring the grain and grass in the camp."

"Yes." Geng Qing responded and prepared to send orders to all families. Suddenly, he looked to the east in a daze, and on the Xiao River in the distance, the mist gradually dispersed, and a shadowy group of people appeared. These men are crossing the river from the north bank to the south, and a large number of men and horses have gathered on the south bank, and they are adjusting their formations and preparing for an attack.

"Pacification, the Dreadnoughts are there." Geng Qing shouted loudly, pointing to the people and horses on the river in the distance.

Ji Jing stood up, and instead of looking to the east, he looked at the Xiao River in the west, where people were boarding the boat one after another, rowing towards the south bank, and the person who came was Ji Zhen's guards.

Hurry up, hurry up, Ji Jing was anxious in his heart, and turned his head to look east. The dreadnoughts were halfway across the river, and one of them was slowly approaching this direction in an attack formation. They even hid on the north shore to avoid the monstrous flood.

"It doesn't seem that the north shore has suffered much flooding, but Ji Zhen is the same as I thought. Go, send people to fully assist the guards to cross the river. Now that the morale of our army is low, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss against the dreadnought army, and only the guards can resist one or two." Ji Jing ordered loudly at Geng Qing.

The surviving Southern Army and the clan soldiers of various families beside him also saw the banner of the Dreadnought Army, and they couldn't help but be frightened.

"Pass the order, don't panic, the North Shore Guard has come to support, and our numbers are still far superior to our opponents." Ji Jing turned over and shouted at these scattered and terrified soldiers. Many people here threw away their armor in order not to drown in the water, not even horses.

Finally, someone moved, beckoning their men to form up and prepare for the attack of the dreadnoughts. It will take some time for the defenders to cross the river, and it will be necessary for these remnants to resist the first wave of the dreadnought's charge in order to win the defenders to arrive.

The soldiers stood still, looking east and west, hoping that the guards would pass faster and stay in front of them before the dreadnoughts arrived.

"Calm down, the dreadnoughts are crossing the river, do you want to send a detachment of men and horses to intercept them to buy time for the guards." Geng Qing suggested in a low voice, and suddenly his face turned a little pale. The dreadnought's men and horses who rushed to the front, despite their own follow-up forces, were still crossing the river from the pontoon bridge, and they had already accelerated towards this side, and it was the thunderous water from the moon in the Iron Hand Province that led the way.

At the same time, the long-awaited Righteous Eagle Army also flew from the east, like a flock of falcons overlooking the Southern army on the ground.

"Hold on, we don't have many horses now

, and when it passes, it will only give people heads, and at present, stability is the priority." Ji Jing originally had this idea, but seeing that Shui had dispelled this idea after the moon, he turned his head to look at Ji Zhen's men and horses, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why are there so few people crossing the river, only half, how can the 20,000 reinforced soldiers not see it."

"I'll go over and ask." Geng Qing took the initiative to ask.

"Okay, you go and have a look, and at the same time tell Ji Zhen that the guards will stand up to the front and stop the attack of the dreadnoughts." Ji Jing nodded, looked at the ragged soldiers behind him, and still wanted the unlost guards to take the lead.

When there were still two miles away from the Southern Army, Shui Congyue stopped with his men and horses. The advance attack of the front army was originally to prevent the opponent from attacking and disturbing their own men and horses crossing the river, and the opponent did not move, so there was no need to launch an attack, and it was not too late to wait for the follow-up men and horses to arrive and then attack together.

Ji Zhen's men and horses are also gathering on the riverbank, and nearly 20,000 horses have crossed the river. However, the other party did not seem to have the idea of moving forward immediately, and waited for his follow-up troops to cross the river at the riverbank.

Geng Qing didn't even ride a horse, and ran to Ji Jing's side on the muddy water, "Ji Zhen said that the other party is crowded, and we must gather good men and horses before attacking. Moreover, he said that he would not immediately attack the Dreadnoughts because of the swamp near the riverbank, and he was ready to bypass the Dreadnoughts from behind our troops.

As for why only half of the men came, according to him, he found that there was a dreadnought army upstream, and that the flood was not only a natural disaster, but also a causal of the river, so he left half of his men to meet the dreadnoughts."

Ji Jing's head was a little dizzy, and his body staggered. Sure enough, I already felt that this flood was a bit strange, why only the south bank was affected, and only my own camp was flooded, and it was really the opponent who made the ghost.

Geng Qing hurriedly stepped forward to support Ji Jing, opened his mouth a few times and stopped talking.

"Say whatever you want." Ji Jing gasped, his eyes were red, and he said viciously.

"Zhenfu, listening to what Ji Zhen said, I paid more attention when I came back. Since the water has almost receded, the situation on the banks of the river can be seen more clearly." Geng Qing hurriedly responded, for fear that his own Zhenfu would tear himself apart, and took out a dirty little flag from his body as he spoke.

"This is the magic weapon of the Ba family, which can be found on the bank of the river, which can be loosened on the ground. And I found no less than twenty pipes by the river, and there must have been caves hidden in the earth, but it was difficult to find them when the water was buried in the earth before it came ashore, and it was revealed when the water rose."

Ji Jing snatched the small flag, grabbed it tightly in his hand, tore it to pieces, and said with a hideous face, "Wu Gan, you are so ruthless."

Geng Qing also looked gloomy, when he was catching Lushan, he had also had several contacts with Wu Gan, looking at his sloppy appearance, he didn't look like a general with heavy troops in his hands, but he didn't expect to be able to come up with such a ruthless method. Before sending a single soldier, he lost more than 30,000 of his own men and horses.

"That's it, the skills are not as good as the people who lose, and the scolding behind the back is no different from a shrew." Ji Jing felt that the strength of his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, and the other party tossed back and forth by the Xiao River four times, I am afraid that he was tempting himself to divide his troops and lay out the water to attack the overall situation.

Now that the southern army has not slept all night, and the rice has not entered, it is already sleepy and tired, and can only hope that the guards will resist for half a day and allow themselves a chance to rest.

The battlefield was unusually quiet, the dreadnoughts were gathering across the river one after another, and Ji Zhen's guards were heading west to bypass this huge swamp.

Sandwiched between the two, the soldiers of the Southern Army and the clansmen of the Zhujia clans, dressed in thin clothes, were like the remaining reeds by the river, shivering in a cold wind, waiting for the battle to begin.

The wait was torturous, especially as the venerable dreadnoughts poured in unhurriedly, methodically destroying the strange ice bridge and placing the terrifying crossbows and stone carts in front of the battle.

It is said that there are still nearly 60,000 soldiers in the Southern Army and these families, but in front of the dreadnought army, which is only 30,000, they tremble like quails.

Without him, the dreadnought army started an incident in Tieshou Province, and single-handedly resisted the coalition forces of Lu Gu and other families, and after entering the Liangsha Mountain, they destroyed three families in a row. This also means that any 10,000 families in the Iron Hand Province have lost the ability to resist against the Dreadnought Army.

Unconsciously, this one

The combination of various ethnic groups, with peculiar styles and novel tactics, has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Iron Hand Province in a short period of time, making the people of these families fearful.

Ji Zhen's men and horses were still circling, and the dreadnoughts did not attack immediately, and after setting up the formation, suddenly the team separated from both sides. Five hundred horsemen in white clothes and white armor escorted a carriage in the middle to the front of the battle.

The curtain of the carriage opened, and Ji Xin sat in the carriage with a dignified face, calmly staring at the remnants of the army opposite.

There was a commotion between the southern army and these ethnic soldiers, and many people subconsciously took a step back. Although there was only an old man sitting in the car opposite, although the old man did not say a word, everyone, including Ji Jing, seemed to see a tall tiger, towering from the ground and covering the sun and clouds, looking down at him coldly. This strong sense of oppression makes everyone a little breathless.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, Ji Xin has ruled the Iron Hand Province for so many years, and his violent and powerful have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He didn't have to show his might, and in the face of such a legendary figure, it made many low-level soldiers lose their fighting spirit.

Another car pulled out of Ji Xin's carriage with a horn-shaped horn more than a man high.

"Sons of all clans, the lord has decreed that all the families who participate in the rebels here are rebellious. The lord is deeply benevolent and generous, and deeply remembers that the people of the province are tired of chaos and want to rule over, and want to exterminate these rebels, and all hundreds and thousands of households can act according to the previous edict, but those who set things right can equally divide the property and goods of the clansmen of all roads and thousands of households, and the great merit can be replaced, and the crime of rebellion will not be investigated.

If those who are stubborn and incompetent, there are fearless soldiers who are fighting for righteousness, and those who jump off the beam will be killed even if they are strong." Ning Yuxi's calm and peaceful voice came out of the horn, like a trickle of spring water and the singing of a yellow warbler, which turned and listened, straight into everyone's heart.

For a while, the middle and low-level soldiers of these families all looked at each other, discussed a lot, and were restless. This is probably the first time since they joined the army that such a delicate woman has been persuaded to rebel in person, and it can be described as deadly compared to the rude persuasion in the past. On the occasion of this great defeat, and the temptation to carve up the territory of the owners of various families, many people are inevitably moved. It's just that the army is here, and no one dares to be the first to jump out and be the first bird.

Yang Zheng raised his chin at Wu Gan, with a smug face, who said that only soldiers and horses are powerful in war, there is a woman who is like a beautiful girl in the family and a jasper leader in the family, which is enough to make a large part of the people lose their fighting spirit, this is the real big killing weapon, if it is used well, it is not a problem to overthrow the country and destroy the government.

Wu Yan scratched his head, saying that after Ning Yuxi joined the Dreadnought Army, his status in the army has skyrocketed, and he is already the second-in-command of Baishuitai, an agency specializing in intelligence assassination.

Ji Jing stared at the other side with an iron face, and sighed secretly in his heart, Wu Gan used such strange methods, in essence, he had already taken the lead in this battle, if there was no help from the guards, it would be difficult for the southern army and the families to win today.

While he was wandering, on the north bank of the Xiao River, a group of men and horses was hurrying along the riverbank, the team was divided into three columns, and a large number of prisoners were escorted in the middle. All of them had a lot of mud on their bodies, as if they had rolled in the mud.

Baoxiang, Ji Jing recognized the No. 3 person of the Dreadnought Army, how could he not understand at this time, it was this person who silted up the river upstream, and the river had nowhere to go after it was stopped.

"Ji Zhen, why did he stop." Ji Jing saw that the western guard army had been reorganized, but he did not move forward.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after ten breaths, our army will launch a surprise attack, please decide for yourself. Ten, nine......" Ning Yuxi's soft voice echoed on the battlefield again.
