Just a fire, and then a flood.

Tonight is destined to be the most painful night for the Jin army.

Hundreds of thousands of Jin troops lost their lives in the fires and floods, and even those who survived, the vast majority of them have lost their combat effectiveness.

On a high ground, Ge Hong stood in a row with several Jin army soldiers, the former had a pale face and looked quite painful, and he vented his inner dissatisfaction through a loud voice,

"Oh my God, what did my Jin army do wrong? You want to do this to me?"

At present, the Jin army has only 30,000 or 40,000 troops that can be fought and collected, and the fires and floods have almost wiped out their entire army.

Even if these 30,000 or 40,000 people still have some combat effectiveness, after going through such a big ordeal, the fighting spirit in their hearts has long been gone.

The military advisor of the Jin army comforted Ge Hongzuo: "Marshal, you are the commander of the three armies, you must regain your spirits, we have not lost completely, our middle army and rear army add up to 200,000, which is enough to complete the order given to us by Your Majesty, let us keep an eye on the movement of Qingzhou."

As long as we don't confront the Qingzhou army head-on in the future, leaving enough room to maneuver with it, then we will definitely be able to fulfill His Majesty's orders.

And, Marshal, this fire and flood are man-made disasters, and I suspect ......"

Speaking of which, hesitate.

Ge Hong couldn't wait to ask, "What do you suspect?"

The military advisor nodded and said: "I suspect that Zhao Changqing, the king of Qi, is not dead, all this is his conspiracy, and its purpose is to lure the marshal here step by step."

Otherwise, the marshal would not have suffered fires and floods as soon as he arrived near the barren mountain. ”

Ge Hong suddenly realized when he heard this, and said in shock: "If it is really as you think, this Zhao Changqing is inevitably too terrifying, right?

The military advisor said: "Marshal, this Zhao Changqing is far more terrifying than we thought. Xiang Nantian, the marshal of the Chu State, was a very strong opponent against us, and in the end, wasn't he defeated at his hands?"

Ge Hong took a deep breath and said to the military advisor: "Mr. Wang, teach me to get rid of the current predicament in time!"

The military advisor hurriedly returned the salute, and then said: "Since the marshal believes in me, then I will offer a strategy." That is, all the soldiers who were still struggling in this flood were not saved, and they returned to the Chinese army camp with 30,000 troops.

With the help of the topography of Mangshan Mountain, focusing on defense, we may be able to hold out until the victory with the Chu State, and then we will withdraw our troops and return to China, which can be regarded as the return of the class to the dynasty. ”

Ge Hong sighed: "If Zhao Changqing really didn't die, it would be a great opportunity to give up. If I had just arrived here and attacked him, the dust would have settled.

Moreover, his plan to cheat death, I should have seen it a long time ago, when he fled to the barren mountain that day, the vanguard camp of Longyuanling was also annihilated by the Wei army, and from here, Ben Shuai should have seen the problem.

This Zhao Changqing is really too strong!"

Hearing this, the military advisor shook his head and said nothing.

At this time, a scout came in a hurry and said to Ge Hongzuo: "Marshal Qiyu, the big thing is not good! A team composed of Wei troops is jumping over the flood and marching towards us!"

The scout's words surprised all the Jin generals, and Ge Hong hurriedly asked him, "Can you see who the enemy will be, how many soldiers and horses will you bring, and how long will it take to get to us?"

The scout replied, "It's too dark to see..."

Ge Hong's fists clenched suddenly.

The military advisor was also a little anxious, "Marshal, the enemy army is coming over soon, without further ado, the general should withdraw first! Chu Xin, you leave 20,000 horses and horses here to block the enemy army and win time for the marshal to retreat, there must be no mistake!"

Even a fool knows that there is only one way to die if he continues to stay here, but he has no way, and half of the reason why he can cause today's disaster is because of him.

Therefore, Chu Xin was willing to accept the order and was ready to die for the Jin Kingdom at all times.

Next, Ge Hong and the others fled.

In the barren mountains, Zhao Changqing was asleep.

was suddenly awakened by Zhao Yun, "Lord Wang, something big has happened under the mountain." ”

Zhao Changqing rubbed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yun said: "The latest news, the big flood under the mountain, although the fire was extinguished, but also because of the heavy losses of the enemy, marshal, our opportunity to counterattack has come, and the soldiers are already waiting for it at the moment." ”

Zhao Changqing was surprised: "You said that there is a big flood under the mountain again? are we okay here?"

Zhao Yun said with a happy face: "Lord Wang, not only is it okay, but because of this flood, we were saved from the fire!"

Zhao Changqing let out an 'oh', and then continued to lie down and sleep.

Zhao Yun was a little stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Marshal, won't we send troops down the mountain to harvest the enemy army at this moment?"

Zhao Changqing said impatiently: "There is a lot of water under the mountain, what if the water is not well controlled at this time, and the soldiers suffer? ”

Hearing what he said, Zhao Yun had an epiphany.

Yes, although the fire is merciless, there are traces to follow.

But this flood is different, there is no trace at all, it can run wherever it likes, how can this work?

If it hits our army, won't it be asking for hardship?

It's still thoughtful and thoughtful!

Since the enemy army has already suffered heavy losses, it means that they can no longer toss any storms, and they have a lot of time to deal with them in the future, so why rush for a while?

Where could Zhao Yun have thought that the reason why Zhao Changqing was not far from the mountain was just because he was simply afraid of water.

Ge Hong went to his Chinese army camp, but he never imagined that there was an even more terrifying nightmare waiting for him.

The army led by Jian Yi bypassed the flood and came to Chu Xin.

He laughed at Jin Jun and said, "When the defeat is decided, why don't you surrender soon?!"

Chu Xin shouted: "Hmph, you are going to be rampant, the commander of our army has gone back to move reinforcements, and when they return, it will be the day of your death!"

How can there be any reinforcements, he said this, but he just wanted the soldiers not to be afraid in their hearts.

Jian Yi pulled out his long sword and asked, "Ge Hong, this guy has already run away, who are you? This hero does not kill the nameless ghost under the sword!"

Chu Xin snorted coldly and said, "Grandpa, if I don't change my name, I won't change my surname, it is our army's vanguard general Chu Xin!"

As soon as Jian heard the word Chu Xin, the killing intent in his heart completely came out, and he first said: "You are Chu Xin?

Then he flashed a sword.

Chu Xingang wanted to say something, but he saw a bright light, and then he was dumbfounded, touched the blood marks on his neck, and couldn't say a word.

A sword.

With just one sword, the battle ended.

As soon as the main general died, the soldiers of the Jin army who suffered a catastrophe no longer had the intention of fighting, and ran in all directions.

In this battle, the victory of the Qingzhou army has been decided.
