We just encountered a fire and experienced 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 fires and floods. Even those who were lucky to survive, most of them had lost their combat effectiveness.

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

"Oh my God! What did I, Jin Jun, do wrong? Do you want to do this to me?"

At present, the Jin army only has thirty to forty thousand troops that can be fought and gathered. Fires and floods nearly destroyed their entire army.

Even though these 30,000 to 40,000 people still have some fighting ability, after experiencing such a great ordeal, the fighting spirit in their hearts has long since disappeared.

The military adviser of the Jin army bowed to Ge Hong and consoled him: "Marshal, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. You must revive your spirit. We have not yet completely lost. Our central army and rear army total 200,000, which is enough to complete the task."

Your Majesty has given us an order to keep an eye on the trends in Qingzhou.

As long as we do not have a direct confrontation with the Qingzhou Army in the future and leave enough room to deal with it, then we will definitely be able to fulfill His Majesty's order.

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

At this point, I hesitated.

Ge Hong couldn't wait to ask: "What do you doubt? You might as well speak up!"

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

Otherwise, the marshal would not have encountered fires and floods as soon as he arrived near the barren mountains."

When Ge Hong heard the sound, he suddenly realized and said in shock: "If it is really as you think, this Zhao Changqing is too scary, isn't it? It is simply unheard of to have such insight into people's hearts!"

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

"

Ge Hong took a deep breath, bowed to his military advisor and said, "I hope you can teach me how to get out of the predicament in time!"

The military advisor quickly returned the salute, and then said: "Since the marshal believes in me, I will offer a plan. That is, all the soldiers who are still struggling in the flood will not be saved, and they will return to the Chinese army camp with an army of 30,000 people.

Taking advantage of the topography of Mangshan Mountain and focusing on defense, we may be able to hold on until the victory against the Chu State. At that time, we will withdraw our troops and return to the country, which can be regarded as returning to the country."

Ge Hong sighed: "If Zhao Changqing is really not dead, then he has given up a huge opportunity. If I had just arrived here and attacked him, everything would have been settled.

Moreover, I should have seen through his plan to cheat death. When he fled to the barren mountains that day, the vanguard camp in Longyuan Ridge was also annihilated by the Wei army. From here, I should have seen the problem.

This Zhao Changqing is really too strong!"

When the military advisor heard this, he shook his head and said nothing.

At this time, a scout came hurriedly and bowed to Ge Hong: "Marshal Qi, something bad is going on! There is a team of Wei troops jumping over the flood and marching towards us!"

The scout's words shocked all the Jin generals. Ge Hong hurriedly asked him: "Can you clearly see who the enemy general is? How many soldiers and horses does he have? How long will it take to reach us?"

The scout replied: "The night is too dark to see clearly..."

Ge Hong suddenly clenched his fists.

The military advisor was also a little anxious, "Marshal, the enemy is coming soon. Without further ado, general, let's withdraw first! Chu Xin, you leave 20,000 troops to stop the enemy here and buy time for the marshal to retreat.

There must be no mistakes!”

Even a fool knows that staying here will only lead to death, but he has no choice but to cause today's disaster, half of the reason is because of him.

Therefore, Chu Xin was willing to accept the order and was ready to fight and die for Jin at any time.

Next, Ge Hong and others fled.

In the barren mountains, Zhao Changqing was sleeping.

Suddenly he was awakened by Zhao Yun, "Your Majesty, something big happened down the mountain."

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

Zhao Yun said: "The latest news is that there is a big flood at the foot of the mountain. Although the fire was extinguished, the enemy suffered heavy losses. Marshal, our opportunity to counterattack has come, and the soldiers are already waiting for it."

Zhao Changqing said in surprise: "You said there is another flood at the bottom of the mountain? Are we okay here?"

Zhao Yun said with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, not only is everything fine, but because of this flood, we were able to avoid a fire!"

Zhao Changqing said "Oh" and then continued to lie down and sleep.

Zhao Yun was a little stunned and quickly asked: "Marshal, don't we send troops down the mountain to harvest the enemy's troops at this moment?"

Zhao Changqing said impatiently: "There is a flood under the mountain. What if we go there at this time and the water is not controlled well and the soldiers suffer? We will wait until the flood subsides."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Yun had some enlightenment.

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

But this flood is different. There is no trace at all. It just goes wherever it likes. How can this be done?

If they get into our army, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

The prince is still thoughtful!

Since the enemy has suffered heavy losses, it means that they can no longer afford to cause any trouble. There will be plenty of time to deal with them in the future, so why rush it?

How could Zhao Yun have imagined that the reason why Zhao Changqing was so desperate to go down the mountain was just because he was simply afraid of water.

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

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

He laughed loudly at the Jin army and said: "Your defeat has been determined, why don't you accept surrender quickly?!"

Chu News shouted: "Huh, don't be so crazy. Our army commander has gone back to bring in reinforcements. When they come back, that will be the day you die!"

There are no reinforcements. He said this just to stop the fear in the hearts of the soldiers.

Jianyi pulled out his long sword and asked: "Ge Hong has run away? Who are you? I will not kill the nameless ghost with my sword!"

Chu Xin snorted coldly and said: "Grandpa, I won't change my name even if I don't change my surname. It's Chu Xin, the vanguard general of our army!"

When Jian Yi heard the word "Chu Xin", his murderous intention jumped out of his heart. He first said: "Are you Chu Xin? I have been ordered by the military commander to cut out your tongue and chop you into pieces with a thousand knives!"

Then he showed a sword.

Chu Xing just wanted to say something, but he saw a flash of light, and then he was dumbfounded. He touched the blood marks on his neck and couldn't say a word. His eyes were filled with fear and he couldn't close his eyes.

A sword.

Just one strike of the sword ended the battle.

As soon as the general died, the Jin army soldiers who had suffered a great calamity no longer wanted to fight and ran in all directions.
