Chapter 507: Torrent
"Yes. "In any case, what Abu wants to guarantee is his own and Qin Ke's lives, and the matter here is already beyond their control.
"Ke, let's go. Abu said heavily.
Qin Ke nodded slightly, gently spurred the horse, and the hooves of the war horse made a crisp "click" sound again, and the two of them walked one after the other, like elk alone from the herd.
Before the war began, two generals were sent as spies to investigate the enemy's situation, has there ever been such a thing in the army?
Zhang Jiuxin is not a historian who studies historical matters, so naturally he can't say whether this kind of thing is unprecedented, but at least he understands that this method is completely unreasonable in terms of using soldiers, and he can't help but speak: "General, let the two generals be spies...... Is it inappropriate?"
Wang Xuanwei did not answer, but closed his eyes and raised his head, as if looking at the sky in the dark.
Zhang Jiuxin didn't know what he was doing, but there was always an inexplicable panic that grabbed his heart.
Is there something going to happen next?
"It's coming. Wang Xuan lowered his head slightly and replied to his words in a somewhat tired voice.
Zhang Jiuxin didn't understand what it meant at first, but he could hear that the voice he heard before was getting louder and louder, and even the ground trembled slightly because of it.
With some difficulty, he turned his head and looked at the source of the sound.
The great torrent was like a giant that swept the heavens and the earth, and every step of its feet was so heavy that it was like a trebuchet falling to the ground, and the trees trembled in fear in the midst of such tremors, and the weeds were already trampled under their feet without even making a scream.
There was a terrible whistling and crashing sound throughout the valley, and the billowing sand and stones rolled in the water, and they could not be silenced but turn into a natural rage and press forward.
"Flood!" Zhang Jiuxin's heart was shattered, his wide-eyed eyes almost spurting blood, he had heard the discordant sound earlier, but he didn't realize it was a flood at all.
After leaving Xiaoshan, they were on the riverbed of the dry river, which had dried up due to the earthquake, and now it was no longer visible, overgrown with grass and trees, and even wild deer gnawed through it.
Someone once lamented that the drying up of this river made it difficult to see the magnificent scene of the ship sailing thousands of miles straight to Jicheng again, but no matter how magnificent the scene is, once people find themselves under this magnificent dust, I am afraid that no one can watch quietly.
"The flood is coming!"
"It's flooding!"
"The mountain god is angry!"
For a while, everyone in the Mo cavalry group shouted everything, but it seemed that whatever they shouted could no longer alleviate their fear.
"Go to the heights! to the heights!"
At this moment, Zhang Jiuxin suddenly understood why the Tang army would arrange troops on the high slopes, not only to facilitate the charge of the Xuanjia heavy cavalry on the high slopes, but also because they would not be affected by the flood there.
The Mo cavalry had already been in a mess, and with Zhang Jiuxin's roar, they continued to rush towards the heights, and everyone was afraid of being left behind.
In such chaos, Zhang Jiuxin's war horse stepped on a raised stone, and with the mournful roar of the war horse, his whole person rolled to the ground with the overturning of the war horse, and countless horse hooves whistled past him, his face was full of dust, and his ears were full of loud horse hooves.
There are no roads, only endless herds of horses.
He thought that he was going to die, the reason why he hadn't been trampled to death by the war horse was just because he was lucky, but in such a chaotic army, who could guarantee that the next moment, he would not be knocked down head-on by his own war horse, and then trampled into pulp by the war horse behind?
But a hand grabbed him by the back of the collar and dragged him up to the horse.
"Come up!" Wang Nan shouted.
Zhang Jiuxin received the stimulus, climbed onto the horse's back with his hands and feet, and firmly hugged Wang Nan's waist.
After the helmet fell, his hair was scattered in the wind, and the dust on his face made him unable to open his eyes, but he couldn't remember to wipe it, but shivered: "I know...... Dam...... It's a dam......"
"Damn, what are you shouting!" Wang Nan glared angrily, "What a dam, that's a flood!"
"The Tang army used the dam to forcibly divert the water flow and revive the river, and the reason why they didn't attack it was because they were waiting for this. Zhang Jiuxin said in embarrassment, "This is a trap! Their encirclement is just to force us here." We're going to lose, we're going to lose......"
"Fuck the trap!" Wang Nan shouted angrily, "I didn't fight, what do you want to lose?" It's a big deal that Lao Tzu fights with them, and if he dies, he will die, killing one is enough, and killing two will make money." ”
Zhang Jiuxin listened to Wang Nan's words, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, but kept repeating: "It's determined to lose, it's lost, and you can't go back......"
The water flowed fast on the riverbed, as if it knew that they had been rushing on this waterway, and in an instant, the current had rushed in front of them.
Qin Ke and Abu were still in the riverbed, and the war horse was running wildly, but Qin Ke was still not fast enough, so he pulled out the Bodhisattva sword and gently slashed at the horse's buttocks, and then tightly held the iron ring on the saddle, and the whole person lay on the horse's back, only to feel the countless winds whistling around him.
"Abu, the water is coming!" Qin Ke shouted loudly.
"See!" Abu thought he was wrong when he first saw it, but when he realized that it was all true, he had dried up the riverbed for generations, and at this moment the huge water was surging again, and he almost fell off his horse.
The two of their horses were one after the other, but they were only less than half a horse's body, but they were so far away from the high ground across the riverbed that they seemed to be out of reach.
Under such a huge flow of water, even if Qin Ke and Abu's qi and blood cultivation were good, they could only be swept away into the distance like the gravel and stones in those streams, but in comparison, the gravel and stones did not need to breathe, and the two of them could not survive in the water like fish.
To survive...... Must survive......
Qin Ke bit his lip, and saw that the high ground in front of him was getting closer and closer, and the water was also in front of them.
Almost instantly, he untied the package containing the little black on his horse's back and threw it violently into the high ground.
The leather wrap arced through the air, and with a dull thud, it fell into the clumps of weeds.
At this moment, Abu jumped up on horseback, like a stone that had been thrown, and with a decisive momentum, he "crashed" into the edge of the high ground.
"Ah Ke!" Abu went up to the high ground with difficulty, and in a panic, he turned his head to look in the original direction, Qin Ke was still on horseback, just now he threw out Xiao Hei, which did prevent Xiao Hei from being taken away by the flood, but in this way, he also paused.
But in such a time of life and death, every minute of time is extremely precious.
Abu watched as the huge stream of water slammed into the bodies of the two horses, toppling them with ease, and then gnawing at their bodies with their screams.
"Ke!" Abu yelled hoarsely.
Qin Ke jumped up high.
Adopted by his master as a child, his practice has always been based on the art of Xunfeng, which is also the foundation for him to run faster than others and jump higher than others.
But at the moment when he jumped, the war horse was hit by the current, and the whole ground rolled in another direction, making his jump a little weaker.
This time, his jump was at least six feet away from his usual jump.
And these six feet just decided his life and death.
Qin Ke grew his mouth, looked at the high ground that was gradually moving away from him, and knew that he had begun to fall, and his heart was like ashes for a while......
