Chapter 371: The Seventh Army is flooded, and the city is full of casualties
The heavy rain and the muddy road on the riverbank were difficult to walk, and the troops who touched the past were all leading their war horses at this time, and they were moving forward with great difficulty.
It was also difficult to walk to Libui Mountain, and there were more than 20 miles to the place where the Xia soldiers had built the embankment upstream, and he had already checked the places he had passed before, and there were indeed traces of building the embankment, and the river bank was obviously raised a lot.
"The people of Xia are really vicious, and they actually came up with this kind of strategy."
He rode on horseback, and a personal soldier led the horse to staggering on the muddy river bank with the reins, and when he looked up, the rain continued to wash his vision, and he could only vaguely see the team in front of him marching slowly.
After staying here, he faintly saw a low forest, and he hurriedly asked a scout to inquire if it could accommodate 5,000 people and horses, after all, such a ghost weather, if you go on, people and horses can't stand it.
The scout hurriedly took the order and left, and then sent people to the front to stop the marching procession, and he waited for a while in the rain, but did not see the scout sent out.
When he frowned slightly, in the low woods in the distance, there was a sudden sound of birds flying and flapping their wings.
As a military general and a martial arts master, he instantly felt a feeling of being targeted by a fierce beast, and the murderous aura rose to the sky in the darkness of that forest.
"There's an ambush in the woods!" Shout at the mountain of Libuki.
The former army, who was still waiting in place, was startled, and almost as they looked into the forest, countless hanging branches shook violently, and raindrops splashed.
A voice like a tiger's roar resounded in the forest: "Kill—"
The forest swayed wildly, a group of arrows poured out wildly, the long dragon-like team marching on the bank of the river, one by one the figures fell, and between the panic and chaos, the overlapping figures rushed out of the woods, it was the Hubu Battalion that had been waiting in ambush for two or three days, and the Tang Army.
For night battles in the rain and ambushes, they were already mentally prepared, and in order to make it easier to run, they also took off the straw sandals and steps on their feet.
The soles of his feet stepped on the muddy ground without the slightest lag or pull, and then he directly crashed into the chaotic soldiers and horses of the Liang State on the opposite side, and slashed out pieces of knife light.
Countless swords collided, arrows flew into the sky, Qin Qiong jumped into the crowd with a lance, and waved it like a windmill, "Kill them all-"
"Kill—"
Zhang Fei came out from another place in the forest, rode a horse and a spear and galloped towards the middle of this Liang State soldier and horse, and roared in a voice like thunder: "Kill!" ”
Secret Technique: Drink off the sun!
The sound of a huge thunder shook the falling rain lines and broke them, forming countless droplets of water that flew out, and the trekking cavalry over there was dizzy before they could get on their horses.
Following Zhang Fei's Hubu battalion to attack, they were all heavy steps, at this time to recuperate for many days, the pace was naturally not slow, for the cavalry who got off the horse, they directly killed it.
The frantic sound of the weapons clashing rose to the point of a chilling stand on end at that moment, and the guards in the middle of the army shouted sharply: "The rear team will mount their horses and scatter this group of enemies, and those who are attacked will form a formation with the nearest clansmen!" ”
The sudden attack on his infantry made him lose some of his mind, but fortunately he quickly came back to his senses and immediately issued an order, but there were still many soldiers under his command, who did not have time to react, or that their boots were trapped in muddy water, and their legs and feet were inconvenient, and they were cut down to the ground before they could form a formation.
The Tang Army and the Hubu Battalion that spread almost destroyed and cut off the front and back sections of this army and horses, and the broken corpses continued to fall down with blood lines on the entire line.
In front of the small array formed by several Liang Guo soldiers, the galloping black horse rushed panting, and the general with a leopard head and eyes above swept with a thick Zhangba snake spear in his hand, directly sweeping and knocking down these soldiers.
"Barbarian general, I know you Grandpa Zhang!"
Zhang Fei bared his teeth angrily, the tiger's whiskers were angry, and the snake spear in his hand did not stab the surrounding Liang soldiers, waving wildly, hitting everywhere with blood and white viscous liquid splashing in the rain.
Then, he saw the generals of the Liang State who were being guarded in front of him.
Xiang Lichui Mountain is not only the commander of the first army, but as a good man in the northwest mountains, he is naturally also a fierce general, and immediately led the soldiers around him, and the generals of the Xia Kingdom rushed forward to meet him.
"Haha, I'm worried about whether the barbarians in the mountains will be scared away!"
Zhang Fei saw that the other party did not run away, and the anger on his face suddenly turned into joy, but he was also a little unhappy in his heart, and he even dared to kill him, really my prestige here is not as loud as Lu Bu's family!
The foot soldiers on both sides rushed together in the chaotic ranks of Liang soldiers. Zhang Fei and Xiang Lichuishan, who were the leaders, fought in an instant, and two different long soldiers fought together on horseback.
In the midst of the heavy rain, sparks collided.
"Ahhh The long knife in the hand of Libuki Mountain slashed the generals of the Xia Kingdom in front of him.
The fierce sword light slashed the rain curtain, with the sound of the wind and rain, which was blocked by the spear of the other party's eight snakes, and the huge force of the shock struck, making Xiang Libushan lean back on the horseback.
When he was surprised by the terrifying strength of the other party, the rain splashed suddenly, and Zhang Fei, who was wearing a black iron helmet on the opposite side, opened his tiger eyes angrily, and the thick snake spear was raised in the heavy rain.
"Ahh
Secret Art: Sweep through thousands of armies!
The torrential rain was swept out of the fan-shaped streamer by the snake spear, and the fierce whistling sound drowned out all the sounds in the rain, and the war horses fell down with a mournful roar, and flew upside down in the rain curtain to the Libu Mountain.
In the huge force, the Liang generals who flew upside down squirted out countless viscous and warm plasma from their bodies, sprinkled on the ground with muddy and stagnant water.
Half an hour later, the entire bank of the river was full of human corpses, and the rich blood water was washed into the river by the heavy rain, and the water surface was all red.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Qin Qiong rode his horse and raised the lance between a pile of corpses: "Converge one or two, go back immediately, no delay!" Fast! ”
The whistle arrows sounded a distinctive sound on a rainy night, and soon more whistle arrows rose into the air one after another, one after the other, and were transmitted to the river section more than twenty miles away.
In the dark night, the river flows quietly, and it is an unusual sound in this kind of rainstorm.
Further up the river, at the bend in the bend, there is a high embankment, and standing on the bank of the river, you can faintly hear the sound of turbulent and manic waves rolling back on the other side of the embankment.
Guan Yu stood on a higher ground nearby with a cloak and a hat, and looked at the embankment in the middle of the river below with Guan Ping and Wei Chi, at this time, on the other side, the river had swelled, almost full of the embankment, and it was still rising.
In the distance, the sound of whistles and arrows sounded in the distant rainy night.
"Guan Junhou, is it time to put the embankment now?" Wei Chigong looked at the big water behind the embankment below, and he was also a little worried, after all, this thing, if it is not good, it is possible to wash away his own barracks.
"Wait."
Guan Yu stared down and interrupted Wei Chigong's words, with the experience of flooding the Seventh Army back then, this water potential was not enough to flood the western capital of Liang State.
"Let the soldiers below withdraw first, leaving only a few bold and careful ones, and put the boat where we are standing now! After the embankment is lowered, immediately go up the mountain and stay on the boat! ”
After speaking, he told Captain Chi Gong to leave here, and when he got to the bottom of the hill, he rode a horse and led 800 people to leave quickly, according to experience, such rain would fall for another two hours, and in the second half of the night, it would definitely cause a flash flood.
At that time, with the silted river here, the two compartments together will definitely be monstrous.
"I hope Your Majesty has blocked the downstream, otherwise the flood will not be diverted!"
Just after Guan Yu and the three of them left with 800 people, when the time had passed, a few people staying on the hill had been staring at the river below, and the river had already spread to both sides of the river bank at this moment, and the road surface on the river bank was almost invisible, but the embankment in the middle of the river was still three zhang high before it could be surpassed.
As a few people were muttering, there was a slight cracking of hundreds of logs behind the embankment that supported the embankment.
The soldiers suddenly stopped their voices and looked down at each other, and at this moment, the sound of a loud wave suddenly sounded further upstream.
"Torrent ......"
Because the ancient river is spacious, full of 30 zhang, the river water accumulates, making the upstream river more congested, when the mountain flood erupts, it hits the river channel, which is higher than the ordinary mountain flood.
"Quick, get on board!"
I don't know if it will flood here, but a few soldiers jumped directly into the boat, lay on the bottom of the boat, and then listened to the huge roar from the bottom of the mountain, and as for whether the embankment was broken, it was completely inaudible.
Among them, some of the brave people still stood up, glanced out, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
In the field of vision, in the darkness below, the torrent was like a roaring black dragon surging wildly, rolling away from the bottom of the hill where they were, and the surrounding forests were flooded by the waves, lapping on the hillside and retreating into the river, continuing to rush south.
The speed of the flash flood is amazing, especially from north to south, from the high ground to the low terrain, and there are large mountains on both sides, and the impact on the foot of the mountain will follow the trend of the river and the mountain road to the south.
Ugly time.
The herdsmen who did not enter the city, only set up tents in the open field were sleeping sweetly, and in the night, the dogs bolted outside moved their ears, and suddenly stood up and rushed into the rain, barking wildly at the outside.
Wangwangwws—
Barking!
One dog was alarmed, and then the dogs of the entire herdsman's camp followed suit. The worried man came out of the tent and kicked his dog.
He was about to return to the tent when he heard a different sound, and turned to look in the direction of the Gu Youhe in confusion.
Then, he froze in place, and it was a black line, more than two feet high, full of branches flowing slowly towards the herdsmen's camp.
"What's that?"
He muttered suspiciously, the dog that had just been kicked by him, frantically struggling with the rope and barking heartbreakingly.
However, in the next second, the seemingly slow thing was actually a few feet away in a few breaths, and he saw what was flowing, and immediately turned around and shouted.
"Torrents!"
"Hurry up!"
He rushed into the tent, picked up his sleeping wife, and rushed out, and as soon as he got out of the tent, a huge black torrent engulfed the tents in front of him, and then swept him and his wife into it.
Looking down from the sky, the terrifying torrent flowed wildly on the low-lying field like a man-eating carpet, and tents and herds of cattle and sheep all disappeared into the waves in an instant.
The torrents rushing down seemed to feel that the waterway in front of them was impassable, and they overflowed the river to find this flood outlet outside the western capital of Daliang, and rushed out here one after another.
At this time, several new armies of Tuoba Kui were stationed outside the western capital, and when the flood came, it was late at night, and almost no one knew, many soldiers were still asleep, feeling cold, and woke up to find that they were soaked in water.
However, before they could get out of the tent, the water level was already up to their waists, and many people were screaming desperately, and experienced soldiers ran to the nearby leather felt and fences, holding on to everything that could save their lives.
Soon the water level did not pass overhead, and the soldiers of Liang Guo, who could not swim in the water, drowned directly in the water, and the watery ones were also washed away by the flood, and they were rolled under the water and soon lost their lives.
The flood spread, and one after another the barracks passed.
On the mountain in the distance, Wu Zixun was holding a paper umbrella, and the raindrops fell on it crackling.
Under the umbrella, Su Chen stood on the top of the mountain cliff with his hands and watched, his martial arts realm had reached the third grade, and he could barely see the scene in the rainy night in the distance.
"Early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid that the suburbs of the Western Capital will be a Ze country."
"I don't know how many people are going to die."
Wu Zixun thought of Hong Tao just now, and shivered coldly.
