Chapter 502: The Ten Thousand Rivers of Han River pour into the Wei camp
Zhu Ling, the general of the Wei Dynasty who was responsible for guarding the Han River embankment.
Just a few months ago, Zhu Ling lived up to Cao Zhen's expectations and finally repaired the dike on schedule, which was crucial to the Wei army's victory.
Zhu Ling stood beside the wide channel of the Han River, looking up at the dike that contained his own hard work, his eyes filled with pride.
After winning that battle, I think Zhu Ling will definitely leave a mark in the history books.
After looking at the dike for a long time, Zhu Ling turned his gaze back to look around the dike.
Because of that, Zhu Ling seemed a little bored.
Although the construction of the east embankment weir has been completed, the construction of the high embankment surrounding Nanzheng City has not yet been completed.
Out of caution, Liu Ye suggested that Cao Zhen let Zhu Ling continue to lead the army to guard the dike.
Well, Zhu Ling felt that Liu Ye was a bit unfounded.
As we all know, the Han army that broke out a month ago was only a few thousand strong, and almost everyone was injured.
There were more than that number of soldiers originally used to build the dike. Adding in the rest of the Wei army to defend the dike, the total strength was about five thousand.
Even if Wei Yan was good at fighting, how could he attack the dike with more than a thousand wounded soldiers?
Moreover, Cao Zhen was on the way to Nanzheng from Yangping Pass and had a heavy ambush. Even if Wei Yan brought the defenders of Yangping Pass, it would be of little use.
Unless the Han army can create an additional army of tens of thousands of people out of thin air around the Han River, there is absolutely nothing they can do.
Not only Zhu Lingfu felt this way, but also Liu Ye, who made the suggestion, had similar views.
The reason why he reminded Cao Zhen was just to take precautions.
Since the Wei army in the east did not pay attention to this point, Cao Zhen did not have many soldiers to guard the dike.
Of course, that was because Cao Zhendong used most of his troops to build high embankments that besieged Nanzheng.
After all, with the official completion of the construction of the dike to intercept the Han River, Cao Zhen became extremely anxious as he saw the Han River in the dike rising higher and higher.
Is there anyone in the world who wants to take advantage of Southeast Zheng more than him?
Zhu Ling, who was bored, rode his horse to patrol the river for a while, then rode back towards the dike.
There was a rain in Hanzhong last month. The rain swept away the dust in the air, making the air smell fresh and refreshing.
But while Zhu Ling was enjoying the fresh air, a wounded scout was rushing back from Zhu Ling's back.
After the scout saw Zhu Ling's back, he even sped up the speed of Kuodong's horse. Soon, relying on his status as a scout, he came directly in front of Zhu Ling.
When Zhu Ling saw a scout with a bloody face suddenly arriving, he immediately sensed something was going on.
At that moment, he very much thought that he had escaped from the attack launched by the Qianhan Army that month ago.
But before he could ask properly, the scout blurted out a sentence that made Zhu Ling frown.
"General Hou, a large number of Han troops are coming to kill us!"
A large number of Han troops?
How can it be cocoa?
When Zhu Ling heard the information, his first reaction was disbelief.
"It's ridiculous. Dangdong is outside the territory of Hanzhong. There is probably a large number of Han troops there."
Most of the cities in Hanzhong are within our own legs, and the passages in Hanzhong are also blocked by our own heavy troops.
In that case, it can be said that the entire Hanzhong has essentially fallen into our own lap.
So where did the large number of Han troops mentioned by the scouts come from, and where were they hidden before? If there was such a fresh army, how could Mi Yang be trapped in the isolated city?
Three unbelievable questions kept surging in Zhu Ling's mind, until he thought that the scout in front of him was faked by the enemy in order to undermine his military morale.
But not long after Zhu Ling scolded the scouts, he heard the sound of waves of troops marching behind him.
Zhu Ling followed the sound and looked behind him. Since the land was muddy and dust was difficult to stir up, Zhu Ling soon saw a scene that almost made him fall off his horse.
Groups of Han troops wearing fine armor and holding spears slowly appeared in his eyes from the horizon and from behind a hillside.
Due to the fast marching speed of the Han army, Zhu Ling's eyes were filled with walls of spears after a while.
The blood-stained tassel on the top of his head shone in the moonlight, like the sharpest blade in the world, severely cutting into pieces the disbelief in Zhu Ling's heart.
The sound of thousands of neat and powerful footsteps made the earth tremble slightly, like mysterious thunder coming from the sky, seducing the deepest fear in Zhu Ling's heart.
There are ten thousand, ten thousand elite Han troops!
At that moment, Zhu Ling could no longer think about where the Wanhan army came from, and he could not give orders to the sergeants around him in time.
At that moment, Zhu Ling's whole head was as dazed as if it had been hit hard with a hammer.
Almost all of Hanzhong was regarded as a back garden by the Wei army. They slaughtered the city if they wanted to, and ravaged the people if they wanted to deliver food.
How does it feel when countless bloodthirsty beasts suddenly appear and rush toward you in the back garden that you thought was absolutely safe?
Whether you bake dough balls or not, you are not afraid.
No matter how experienced a veteran is, he is still inhumane!
When the Han army entered the effective shooting range, Wei Yan, who was in charge of commanding the Wan Han army, immediately ordered the Han army behind him to release arrows.
A moment later, thousands of arrows fell from the sky like raindrops, falling into the chaotic formation of the Wei army.
But unlike raindrops, raindrops will bring life when they fall to the ground, but sharp arrows will take away people's lives when they fall to the ground.
As the arrows fell into the Wei army's formation, many Wei soldiers fell to the ground and let out bursts of painful wails.
And the bursts of wailing sounds completely pulled Zhu Ling's thoughts away from fear.
At that moment, Zhu Ling just commanded the Wei army guarding the embankment to launch a counterattack, but what effect would the counterattack have at that moment?
The general's carelessness is not only reflected in his emotions, but will also have an impact on the actual situation in all aspects.
The disparity in military strength, the disorganization of formations, and even the lack of preparation of weapons.
Just like Xia Houyuan back then, why did he, as the coach, dare to personally lead people to repair the antlers? He just felt that Hanzhong was not his back garden and he could do whatever he wanted.
Who else would be armed and alert at all times in their back garden?
But the weaknesses on those three sides will directly determine the outcome of that war in a cruel war.
Just like Dangdong.
The Wei army was caught off guard and soon followed in the footsteps of their predecessors.
After the Han army came into contact with the Wei army under the leadership of Wei Yan, the Han army's fierce offensive almost caused the Wei army's formation to collapse.
The performance of the thousands of Liangzhou troops was the most vigorous. I want to know whether the Wei army could have committed the evil act of massacring the city in Liangzhou not long ago.
If you do that kind of thing in your hometown, then the Liangzhou Army must not risk its life with the Wei Army?
Orders to clean up the army were issued from Zhu Ling's mouth one after another. The flag legs beside Zhu Ling were almost broken. However, the Wei army's formation was completely shattered by the fierce attack of the Han army.
After the formation was broken up, the Han army was like a mountain tiger entering the sheepfold, constantly devouring the lives of the prey in front of it.
Seeing the Wei army in front of him dying at the hands of the Han army, Zhu Ling knew that any order he issued at that moment would be useless.
He glanced back at the dike he was guarding. At that moment, he didn't know why the Han army mistakenly asked him to launch a fierce attack.
Do you know that he is already helpless?
Thinking of this, veteran Zhu Ling made an empirical move to keep him alive until the bright moon.
Zhu Ling fled the battlefield directly with the 100 guards.
Since nothing can be done, it is better to keep a useful body and go back to tell Cao Zhen everything.
After Zhu Ling fled from the battlefield, the remaining Wei troops in the east also lost their fighting spirit. Some surrendered and some fled.
Wei Yan did not attack the fleeing Wei troops. His most important task was to completely control the dike.
When the leader of the army came to the east of the dike and looked at the dike that was several feet high, Wei Yan couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.
It looks ordinary from a distance, but only when you look up close can you feel the magnificence of the embankment.
The taller the dike is, the stronger the destructive power of the Han River stored in it will be once the dike breaks.
The Wei army probably spent a lot of manpower and material resources on building the dike, but after all, everything the Wei army did was a wedding dress for the Han army.
Wei Yan even went to summon Zhou Tai. After knowing Mi Yang's plan, everyone also understood the second reason why Mi Yang appointed Zhou Tai as Wei Yan's deputy general.
Before Zhou Tai joined Mi Yang, he had experience in water control under the influence of his elders at home.
If you know how to control floods, it will certainly not be a good thing if you don't know how to break the embankments.
After Zhou Tai arrived, several Liangzhou generals, Wei Yan, Deng Ai, and Fu Qian, excitedly surrounded Zhou Tai and watched him study the specific structure of the dike.
Before long, Wei Yan rubbed his legs nervously and said to Rongtai: "How to fight, where to fight, Kuai Dong gives orders."
At that moment Zhou Tai gained unprecedented respect from Wei Yan.
Seeing Wei Yan's look of great anticipation, Zhou Tai had no doubt that if he ordered Yidong, Wei Yan might be the first to take action.
But why doesn’t Zhou Tai feel no in his heart?
Hearing the loud sound of the surging Han River hitting the dike, Zhou Tai's face showed an intoxicated look.
The Han Dynasty has tens of thousands of soldiers among them.
"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest."
After saying that, Zhou Tai's face hardened and he pointed his sword at a spot on the dike.
Damn it!
Zhu Ling rode his horse all the way back to the Wei army camp. Due to the urgency in his heart, he bumped into countless Wei soldiers who were under construction along the way.
But it was precisely because of Bufanbuqin who was there all the way that Zhu Ling was able to return to the Wei army camp as quickly as possible.
After arriving at the camp, Zhu Ling didn't wait for Kuodong's horse to stop, and he eagerly wanted to leap from the horse to the east, but his anxious move caused him to stumble and fall to the ground.
After falling, Zhu Ling ignored the pain in his body and didn't even have time to pat the dust on his body, so he hurried toward Cao Zhen's tent step by step in a hurry.
On the way to Cao Zhen's camp, Zhu Ling felt that the time was extremely long, as if he was heading to hell.
Fortunately, he finally came to Cao Zhen's big belly.
After arriving outside the Big Bloated Dog, Zhu Ling couldn't wait for the sergeant's announcement, so he just broke into Cao Zhen's Big Bloated Dog.
Zhu Ling's sudden intrusion startled Cao Zhen and others who were discussing matters, and even Cao Zhen's personal guards had already drawn the sabers from their waists.
When Cao Zhen saw Zhu Ling, he signaled to the bodyguard behind him to put away the knife in his leg.
But after seeing Zhu Ling's embarrassed look, Cao Zhen had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Wasn't he guarding the dike? Why did he come back suddenly?
Cao Zhen quickly asked the questions in his heart, and after Zhu Ling took a breath, Cao Zhen cried loudly as if he were mourning for his concubine:
"General, the dike has been captured by the bandits!"
After hearing those words, Cao Zhen and even the generals outside the tent were all confused for the first moment.
What does it mean that the dike was taken away by the bandits?
But Cao Zhen, who reacted immediately and realized the seriousness of the matter, kicked over the table in front of him.
He pulled out the sword from his waist and placed it on Zhu Ling's neck. His eyes turned red instantly.
"What's the matter! Those who escaped were among the Thousand Thieves Army. How could they seize the Dongdiyan!"
Cao Zhen shouted those words with the loudest roar in his life.
Is Bu Xiu Cao really so rude? Is what Zhu Ling reported too serious? Didn't you see that other people outside the tent were so frightened that they fell to the ground?
Zhu Ling, who was struck on the head by a sharp knife, forgot his fear at that moment. He cried and told Cao Zhen everything that had happened.
An army of thousands of thieves could defeat the defenders of the embankment as if they were invincible, but it would not be possible for an army of ten thousand Han Dynasties.
After hearing what Wan Hanjun did, Cao Zhen threw the sword in his leg away in confusion. He wanted to get up and return to the main seat, but he was so frustrated that he didn't pay attention, and his fat body was directly hit hard.
He fell to the ground.
How did the Wanhan Army come here? I won’t ask again.
Cao Zhen just wanted to know if the dike was lost.
So what will the Wan Han Army do after taking the Dongdiyan?
Cao Zhen felt as if his heart was as cold as falling into an ice cave at that moment.
Just like Yuan Shao when he learned that Wuchao was attacked.
A moment later, a series of unwilling roars resounded through the Great Expansion Blade again.
"Mi Yang! Mi Yang!"
Mi Yang, who had been cueed madly, also brought Fa Miao with him at that time. Lu Yi and others stood at the top of the city and looked into the distance.
Calculating based on time, those few months should be the time for Wei Yan to open his bag of tips.
Whether the Yizhou reinforcements will arrive on time or not, according to his order, Wei Yan will attack the dike.
If reinforcements from Yizhou arrive, the success of this move will be greatly increased. If not, then everything will be left to God's will.
Mi Yang stood at the city wall and watched for a long time, but he still didn't see what he wanted to see. Feeling disappointed, he thought about walking to the east city wall.
But just as Mi Yang turned around, Fa Miao behind him grabbed Mi Yang's leg as if he had seen a frightening scene.
Mi Yang turned around and looked at Fa Miao in confusion, and saw that Fa Miao's eyes were as big as copper bells at that moment, staring in one direction. Not even Lu Yi was like this.
Mi Yang seemed to realize something, he even looked in the direction where he was staring at the bright moon.
What I saw was different from what I saw just now. At that moment, a wall appeared out of thin air on the horizon in that direction. The wall was almost as high as Nanzheng, and was actually several feet high!
The wall was like a huge moving mountain, moving rapidly towards Nanzheng.
But as the wall got closer, the people in the city gradually saw clearly that there was not a mountain there, but a green wall of water!
The raging waves kept rolling outside the water wall, like roaring dragons, and the huge sound of the water was like the dragon's roar, filling the world where Nanzheng was in an instant.
At that moment, not only Mi Yang, who was in the city, discovered the scene that could be regarded as a miracle, but many Wei troops who were working on the east side of the city also felt that the earth was constantly shaking.
Confused by Xindong, they looked up and looked around, only to see a scene that made them heartbroken.
The tall water wall seemed to appear out of thin air, constantly approaching their location, and while approaching them, it was constantly devouring everything in its path.
After many Wei soldiers saw that, they unconsciously ran towards the rear camp, but how could ordinary people's speed be faster than the water that could be stored for a long time?
After the raging Han River passed by, almost everything along the way was swallowed up.
Many people didn't even have time to cry out, before they were instantly enveloped in countless waves and completely dissipated in the sky and the earth.
After arriving at Nanzheng, part of the tall water wall quickly collided with the city wall of Nanzheng, and the violent collision resounded throughout the world.
But after the violent collision, Nanzheng City was like a huge reef standing in the deep sea, dividing the turbulent Han River into two water dragons.
And the water dragon was rushing towards the Wei army camp around Nanzheng City.
From the outside, it seemed as if the turbulent Han River was directed by someone and was heading towards the Wei army camp.
Seeing that scene, Mi Yang couldn't help but laugh heartily as the city wall spread its arms.
The strong wind brought by the raging river blew up Mi Yang's long hair.
Mi Yang, whose long hair was dancing in the blue waves, and who was shining in bright light armor, looked like a water god between heaven and earth at that moment.
In that month, tens of thousands of rivers of Han River poured into the Wei camp!
