Late at night, the light rain in the day finally turned into a heavy rainy season that swept across the entire Parawen Plain at the end of September. The big raindrops were blown by the wind, and they were combed from the northwest like naughty children.
"Rumbling" the muffled thunder sounded in the middle of the low clouds, and the ears of the people below were shaking, and the dazzling blue light broke through the black night sky like a raspberry, illuminating a lonely figure across the river.
"Bang" a big stone with fists was thrown into the river surface that was turning white torrents. Without even a bubble, it was rolled up by the rapid torrents and rushed into nowhere.
"The water flows too fast, it's too difficult to force the rain to come too badly." Marshal Dorok, full of white hair, patted the soil in his palm, and stood up from the river with a slightly frown.
This rain was really not the time. The 80,000 troops fought to the death. Under the various favorable factors of the right time, place, and people, they could defeat the defensive power of the Falcon Army on the border in one fell swoop. The entire army had not even had time to rest and rush forward a hundred miles in order to be able to push into the hinterland of the Parawen Plain as much as possible in the shortest time. But now, all efforts were wasted because of this sudden heavy rain.
The momentum of the raid has been curbed. The Falcon Army, which is defending itself from the river, is now like a solid gate that completely blocks the direction of the Dorok army.
Looking at the white waves in front of him, Anto's face was extremely unwilling. He looked at the skyrocketing river with a melancholy expression. His hands, which were clenched into fists, turned slightly white due to excessive force. The climate this year is a little different from previous years. Summer is particularly hot and autumn is particularly cold, which also led to his mistake in judging the arrival of the rainy season. According to general circumstances, the rainy season should not happen when late autumn is about to end.
"Marson, let's wait tomorrow." A general Dorok said beside him, "The night is not conducive to forcing the crossing of the river. The skyrocketing river water has also increased the difficulty of crossing the river. According to the scout's report, the other party has strengthened its forces and built extremely strong fortifications on the river bank. It was so dark that we could not see anything clearly. If we just hit it like this, the crossing forces would only fall into a crisis."
"It seems that this is the only way to go. Order the entire army to camp on the spot. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Anto gave an order to the soldiers behind him with helpless expression. The Dorok army, who received the order, began to camp on the spot. The neighing sound of war horses drifted in the wind. Even if the rain was loud, the movement across the river was enough to alarm the Falcon Army's vigilance.
"Quick, report now"
The sentry quickly reported the abnormal movements on the opposite side. The commander of the second flag of the Western Legion that night was Polar. When he heard the report from the sentry in front, his face changed slightly.
"So fast." Polar looked at the captain of the sentry covered in rain with surprise and asked, "Why are you sure that the main force of the Dorok army across the river must be? And not just the sound of a scout cavalry from the other side?"
"We sent people to cross the river quietly. According to the people who went there, there were many enemies who arrived. The dense tents almost covered the entire beach. In order to avoid being discovered, we just counted roughly, and there were at least 3,000 tents." Then the captain of the sentry said breathlessly, "If there were no calculation errors, there should be at least 30,000 enemies this time."
"The river surface is so urgent, how can your people cross the river?" Bolar's face looked slightly surprised. No wonder he had this question. The river in the heavy rain was extremely dangerous, with countless undercurrents and vortexes. Even if the water is good, it will basically go but never return. However, the sentry captain's people come and go, as if they are in a no-man's land.
"During the day, we buried some ropes 10 miles upstream of the river. There was a high shore cliff. Because it was buried in the grass, it could not be discovered unless it was very careful.
"And even if you find it, it's useless. It's just a few rotten ropes that can't be passed by the brigade." The captain of the sentry said with a timid expression, "We used to be scouts in the Ruierdian army, and did this when we were exploring the night."
"You go down first, thank you for the information you brought back. If it is true, you will get the reward you deserve." Bolar nodded gratefully to the sentry captain. Many of the sentry sentry towers were temporarily recruited from refugees in the afternoon, and many of them were former Ruierdian soldiers. The addition of these former Ruierdian soldiers also greatly enhanced the military strength to defend the river bank.
When the sentry captain left, Bolar sighed hesitantly. If the sentry captain was true, the situation in the west of the river would be extremely worrying. The arrival of Dorok's main force undoubtedly proved that the resistance in Hexi had been destroyed. The Fifth Flag Regiment where Lord Crolisart is located is probably more inauspicious.
He picked up the waterproof cloak hanging at the door, and Bolar shouted outside the tent, "Come on, prepare the horse, I want to go to the central camp tent immediately." The guards at the door hurriedly led the war horses,
Bolar turned over the horse, turned his head and looked at the river surface where raindrops were whipped like whips in the distance.
The white waves rolled, and from time to time, a rumbling sound of rapids colliding, "Pala" silver lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the river bank in the distance, where there were faint dark shadows, and the lightning flashed away, swallowing everything in the darkness
"Now I can only wish God to protect Lord Crolisat." Bolar made a gesture on his chest with his hands and murmured in a low voice.
"Let's go, let's go to the camp in my heart." Bolar and his guards rushed out in the wind and rain. The horse's hooves were flying, and the ground was muddy. Under the raindrops, they were like a black line flying on the bank of the river.
The central camp is on a slope near the river bank, which is the highest point of the entire river bank. As long as you stand there, you can understand the situation on the river surface. After deciding on the strategy of sticking to the river in the afternoon, Hu Keqili moved the central camp here from the riverside.
And from the center base, 40 vehicle-mounted crossbow arrows were arranged to the periphery. This was a surprise found in the Parawen Kuzang. It turned out that it was used for Parawen defense. If the Doroks forced to cross the river, as long as they approached the river bank, they would be blocked by crossbow arrows from high places, allowing them to float on the river surface.
"Who is stopping moving forward immediately?" The sound of the guards in the middle camp shouting,
"I, the commander of the second flag of the Western Army, Polar." Polar held the war horse under his crotch with his hands, let the torch at the door illuminate his appearance,
"Quick, open the door, it's Lord Bolar." The guard opposite confirmed that it was Bolar and quickly made way out of the road ahead. Bolar rushed past the camp gate like the wind,
After receiving the news that Bolar wanted to meet him, Hu Kochili hurried to the central camp
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Hu Kochi's eyes swept over Bolar, who was covered in mud. Because the road was too fast, Bolar was covered in mud and water. Even the cloak used to hide the rain became twisted together, and he was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed.
"The main force of the Doroks came. "Bolal was a little angry, pointed at the rolling river in the distance and said, "Just opposite, according to the report of the mail tower in front, there are at least 30,000 enemies" (To be continued.
