The air was scorched and dry, the earth was hot, and the feet stepped on a string of white smoke.

Most of the Shu Han soldiers who came out of Jianning City to escort the waterwheel were barebacked, and they were wearing the same straw sandals as the Nanren, and almost everyone carried more than a dozen pairs of such shoes.

Transporting drinking water is far more difficult than transporting food and grass.

One of the samurai in charge of the escort rode on horseback, looked up at the huge sun overhead from time to time, and simply took off his armor and put it on horseback.

At that time, there were very few buckets made of copper or iron, most of them were made of wood, and the thin planks were carefully glued together to form a cylindrical shape, and the gaps were fixed with viscous grease, and the surface was covered with a thick layer of paint, and then fastened to the carriage with ropes, so that the barrel and the body of the carriage were almost one. Even so, there was a lot of water overflowing from the cracks, and the road was bumpy, and by the time they arrived at the Shu army camp, there was less than half a bucket of water left in the bucket.

"I told you to go down, the trees here are green, and it is a little cool, and I want the brothers to rest for a while, and try to bring the water to the table at supper." The samurai jumped off his horse and said as he wiped the sweat from his face.

The soldiers stopped their vehicles and sought shade from the sun.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the woods on the side of the road, and out of nowhere, nearly a hundred people dressed in ordinary people's clothes suddenly appeared.

The men seemed to have a clear aim, and as soon as they emerged from the woods, they rushed straight to the watermills on the side of the road, apparently trying to overturn them one by one.

"It's not good, protect the vehicle quickly." The samurai roared and galloped towards the crowd.

The soldiers also jumped up from the ground, brandishing their swords and spears.

When the people saw the sergeant coming, they burst into laughter and fled.

The soldiers shouted and began to chase after the men all over the hills.

The samurai also mounted their horses and pursued them like mad behind.

In an instant, there were only a few drivers with whips left in front of the vehicles, and some of the vehicles were not even a single person in front of them.

It took about half an hour before the Shu soldiers returned to the side of the car with a scolding and scolding.

"There are many bandits here, don't stay for a long time, give the order to set off." The samurai also seemed to be very angry, and commanded the people.

The car continued on its way.

Sure enough, in the evening, the car arrived at the barracks on time.

The samurai came to Liu Yong's tent.

"According to His Majesty's orders, Weichen gave these people enough time to poison them, and strictly ordered the soldiers not to harm the people, but just drove them back to the city."

Liu Yong smiled and nodded.

"The general has worked hard, please go back and rest, remember, tomorrow morning the camp will spread the news of the poisoning of people, and tell those soldiers not to let people see the flaws."

"Wechen knows." The samurai turned and came out.

The news of the poisoning of most of the Shu soldiers had reached the southern army camp on the other side of the river the next day.

Meng Zhuo was overjoyed.

"Report, King Qiyu, there is a cry in the Shu military camp, I am afraid that someone has been poisoned too deeply and has died. And ......" the southern sergeant who reported the incident groaned, "The villain also found out that the queen of Shu Han has also been poisoned, but I don't know if it has been poisoned." ”

"Okay, that's the news that King Ben is waiting for." Meng Zhuo picked up a beast skin bag filled with clear water beside him, "Tell me to go down, let the Duokai Cave Lord be the front, the Atuhan Cave Lord be the backup, and the king will be in the center and cross the river to attack." ”

"Obey." More than a dozen cave masters in the big tent replied in unison.

Meng Zhuo clenched the water bladder in his hand hard.

"This king wants Liu Yong to know, and my southerners are also good at using tricks."

Liu Yong and the others on the other side of Lushui only saw the black pressure of the southern soldiers rushing from the opposite bank, and the entire water surface of Lushui seemed to be filled in an instant.

"Your Majesty, the southerners are here, please take refuge with Weichen for a while." Zhao Tong said.

Liu Yong nodded.

Before the soldiers of the southern army went ashore, the soldiers of the Shu army camp had already withdrawn.

The so-called Yin soldiers led by Duo Kai rushed to the front, and the fire in the hands of these people was really powerful, and they began to set fire to the camp tent as soon as they came in, and when they realized that there was no one in the entire camp, the men and horses led by Meng Zhuo had already rushed to the front.

"The Shu people are deceitful, evacuate quickly." Realizing the danger, Duo Kai shouted.

At this time, Meng Zhuo had already come to Liu Yong's Chinese army tent with a flying horse, and laughed, "Your Majesty has already suffered a poisonous attack and is suffering, and this king has brought you an antidote." This king has said that he wants you and me to drink the cup together, but this time he wants His Majesty to sit below. ”

Meng Zhuo said, deliberately holding the water bladder in his hand high.

There was no sound in the tent.

"King, I'll wait for the plan, and withdraw quickly." Duo Kai saw that Meng Zhuo still looked proud, and ran over with a shout.

The soldiers of the Shu army who were ambushed around the camp saw Liu Yong not far away waving the flag in his hand vigorously, so he let out a roar and shot a burst of crossbow arrows first. Subsequently, Zhao Tong led more than a dozen warriors to kill from three directions, leaving only one road to Lushui.

The soldiers of the Southern Army saw that the soldiers of the Shu Army were all in high spirits, which looked like they were poisoned, and they panicked for a while and chose to flee one after another.

In the dense crowd, Meng Zhuo saw Liu Yong standing on a high slope.

"Li Yin, this guy is really hateful!" Meng Zhuo scolded.

The reason why Meng Zhuo resented Li Yin like this was because the people who poisoned him were under the leadership of Li Yin, and in order to prevent the Shu army from discovering that it was done by the southerners, Li Yin volunteered to take this position.

"The villain has long said that the Shu people are treacherous and not gullible, but the king only jokes." Duo Kai said as he urged the war horse and Meng Zhuo to run in the direction of Lushui together.

As a backup, Atuhan's team had just climbed ashore at this time, and when they saw the soldiers in front of them retreating, they didn't know what was happening, and they trampled on each other for a while.

The soldiers of the Shu army from three directions pounced like tigers, and the dense rain of crossbow arrows tore the pouring sunlight into countless strips.

"Hurry back across the river." Duo Kai passed the general order on behalf of Meng Zhuo, and then, ignoring the wounded soldiers, pulled Meng Zhuo's war horse and tore the reins, so he walked into the river first.

The southern sergeant knew that this was a good time to cross the river, not to mention that he had just crossed the river, so he jumped into the river without hesitation.

The soldiers of the Shu army chased them to the shore and fired a burst of crossbow arrows at the people in the river, and then retreated.

At first, the southern army didn't feel anything, and when they got closer to the center of the river, they found that the river seemed to be much shallower than when they had just come.

Suddenly, a loud sound that shook the ear drums seemed to fall from the sky, and along the upper reaches of the Lushui, the churning turbidity waves were like unattainable giant walls, carrying an invincible huge force to the southern army in the river.

All the Confederate troops were frightened by this sudden turn of events, and frantically rushed to the opposite bank. However, the water is very strong, where will give these people time to escape.

After a wail, countless Southern soldiers fell into the water.

Meng Zhuo and Duo Kai's war horses were also knocked down in the water by the huge waves, but fortunately, the water properties of the two were very good, and it was not deep here, and after the huge waves, their heads were exposed to the water.

Crawling to the opposite bank with difficulty, Meng Zhuo lay on the ground panting, and at this moment, a pair of black animal skin boots suddenly appeared in front of him, causing his nerves that had just been relaxed to suddenly tense again.
