As of September 25, the autumn rain has been falling continuously for half a month, causing the water in the Hui River in the Fangzhong area, as well as nearby mountain streams and rivers to surge.
So Xiang Mo ordered people to dig out the high dam. He deliberately ordered only the north side of the dam to be excavated. In this way, the water in the Hui River dam would overflow the embankment from here and surge out towards the Fenxing army's original direction.
The low-lying terrain where it is located washes away.
Originally, Xiang Mo planned to build up the water power for a while. In this way, he might have the opportunity to use this water power to defeat Qi King Lu Xi and Tian Dan, thus ending the war.
Unfortunately, his strategy had been seen through by Zhao Hongrun, so in desperation, Xiang Mo had no choice but to launch the strategy early and narrow the target from the Qi, Lu, and Wei coalition forces to the Wei army.
It has to be said that the scene when Fang Zhong's Chu army burst the Hui River's embankment was truly spectacular. Just hearing the roaring sound of the surging water, in the blink of an eye, the entire land ten miles away was completely white.
At this moment, Xiang Mo was standing on the bow of a warship, leading a dozen warships, dozens of large rafts and hundreds of small boats to form a military force and attack the Wei army down the river in a mighty manner.
In fact, Xiang Mo's army was nearly thirty or forty miles away from the Fenxing Army, but this time the warship under his feet relied on the power of the water flow, and almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the mountain pass where the Fenxing Army was stationed.
aisle.
A while ago, the Fenxing army built a simple pass here with mud, stone and wood, and set up many obstacles such as trenches and antlers to prevent Xiang Mo's army from passing here.
But now, these obstacles that the Fenxing army had worked so hard to build have lost their effect.
"General! Be careful of arrow attacks!"
Suddenly, the general Yu Ji exclaimed, grabbed a shield from the soldiers around him, blocked it in front of Xiang Mo, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Soldiers, be careful of the arrow attack from the left front!"
In almost just a few breaths, a wave of arrows fell from Xiang Mo's warship. However, because the soldiers on the deck of the warship had already taken precautions after hearing Yu Ji's warning, there were no casualties.
.
After the arrow attack was over, Xiang Mo patted Yu Ji's shoulder gently, and at the same time turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow attack.
I saw a group of Wei soldiers gathering on the top of the hill on the left front. Regardless of the fact that it was still raining at the moment, they aimed their bows and started shooting here in a rather frustrated manner.
Oh.
Xiang Mo couldn't help but chuckle.
At this moment, he already knew that the commander-in-chief of the Fenxing Army who had been confronting him here in recent days was Xu Yin, the general of the Wei State who had been in charge of Fenxing Fortress for many years. Although Xiang Mo had not met Xu Yin so far,
, but this does not prevent him from attaching great importance to Xu Yin.
After all, in a sense, Xu Yin is also a representative figure of the generals of the Wei State. His status in the Wei State is comparable to Xiang Mo's status in the Chu State.
But for now, the great general of Wei can only stay on the top of that unknown hill, watching helplessly as Xiang Mo rode a warship over all the obstacles that the Fenxing army had worked so hard to build before, and faced the enemy.
There is nothing that can be done.
Good luck to you...
Xu Yin's eyes flashed with a cold look as he looked at the hills.
Because in his opinion, if Wei Gongzi Ji Run hadn't seen through his plan, the Fenxing army was destined to be drowned in the flood and the whole army would be annihilated.
"Ignore the Wei army here and go straight towards Zhi County!"
With a wave of his hand, Xiang Mo calmly issued the general order.
Indeed, at this moment, Xiang Mo had no time to pay attention to Xu Yin or the Fenxing Army under his command, because in his opinion, the Wei Gongzi Ji Run was the soul of the Wei Army on the West Route. As long as he killed this person, the Wei Army would be defeated.
The momentum will naturally collapse.
When Xiang Mo's fleet passed through several hills, they were blocked by the bows and arrows of the Fenxing army one after another. However, Xiang Mo's army was too lazy to fight back and directly rushed over with his team.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yin, the general of the Fenxing Army on a certain mountain in the distance, touched his beard and frowned slightly.
But then, there was a bit of a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
It is true that there is no good man despite his great reputation! This Xiang Mo is really not simple. I didn’t expect that he would actually think of using the autumn floods to launch a water attack on our army. If it weren’t for His Highness King Su, I am afraid that most of our army would have been lost.
At least our Fenxing army will be completely wiped out. But... Xiang Mo, Xiang Mo, no matter how talented you are, you will not be able to defeat me, His Highness King Su of the Wei Dynasty!
Xu Yin thought secretly.
"General, the Chu army rushed over..."
Cai Qinhu, the general of the Western Guard Camp under his command, said with wide eyes, looking as if he was lost.
Maybe it was because he once swore in front of Zhao Hongrun that he would not let a single Chu soldier go to Qi County.
"Be patient and don't be impatient."
Xu Yin said calmly, his expression still calm and calm.
It has to be said that Xiang Mo was completely wrong about this matter: he thought that Xu Yin must be extremely anxious at this moment, but in fact, Xu Yin was not panicked at all, even if he watched Xiang Mo's fleet pass by him.
Pass underneath.
Because Xu Yin knew that since His Highness King Su decided to use Xiang Mo's water attack method to deal with Lord Guling Xiong Wu's army, then His Highness King Su must have a way to deal with Xiang Mo.
I don’t know what Xiang Mo’s expression will look like when he learns that his water attack method killed Guling Lord Xiong Wu’s 80,000 troops...
When he thought of this, Xu Yin couldn't help but laugh sinisterly, making the Fenxing Army soldiers and generals around him, such as Cai Qinhu, look at each other in confusion.
At this time, Xiang Mo's fleet had broken through the Fenxing army's defense line.
To be precise, it should be through, because in the current situation, the Fenxing army is unable to launch any effective block against Xiang Mo's army. At best, it can only shoot a few arrows from a distance, which is very difficult for Xiang Mo's army.
I mean, no pain or itching.
However, the Lu war weapons that Zhao Hongrun sent to the Fenxing Army, such as the dragon-backed chariot, posed some threats to Xiang Mo's army.
According to subsequent counts, Xiang Mo's army probably lost one large ship, three large rafts and several small boats.
Xiang Mo didn't say much about this, because he was completely devastated by this loss.
At this time, the sky had gradually stopped raining, but the sky was still covered with clouds and the sun was missing.
I don’t know what precautions Mr. Wei Ji Run took...
Xiang Mo stood at the bow of the ship with his eyes closed, contemplating the countermeasures Ji Run, the Young Master of Wei in Zhi County, had to deal with his water attack.
I don't know how long it took, but Xiang Mo faintly heard screams and screams coming from the distance, and he was suddenly surprised.
Wei Jun? Why did Wei Jun leave the city at this time?
Out of curiosity, Xiang Mo opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
It didn't matter what he saw, he was immediately stunned, because he saw hundreds of soldiers fighting against the flood in the forest in front of him. He saw these people clinging to the treetops to avoid being washed away by the raging flood.
What made Xiang Mo unbelievable was that these soldiers were actually wearing armor in the style of their Chu army.
This...which army is this? Why are they here?
Xiang Mo's face gradually became ugly, because he had a vague feeling that he might have fallen into a trap.
"Help!"
Xiang Mo shouted gloomily.
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers on his ship immediately took action, took hemp ropes and threw them to the Chu soldiers in the flood in the distance.
However, due to the huge inertia of the ships driven by the flood, Xiang Mo's fleet could not stop at all. This made those Chu soldiers who fell into the water, who were lucky enough to be able to catch the hemp ropes, to be killed by the soldiers on Xiang Mo's ships.
They pulled him up, but if he couldn't grab the hemp ropes, he could only watch the chance of rescue gradually slip away from his eyes.
Even among the Chu soldiers in the flood, many people tried to grab the hemp ropes, but in the end they were swept away by the ruthless flood.
What was even more unlucky was that he was rolled directly under the ship of Xiang Mo's fleet and was hit with a bloody head.
Looking at this scene, Xiang Mo was extremely worried.
what is going on?!
Shocked and angry, he saw that he had rescued several unknown Chu soldiers on his ship, so he quickly walked to the latter and asked: "How many people are you waiting for? Where are they from?"
The few rescued soldiers looked frightened for the rest of their lives. After hearing Xiang Mo's inquiry, one of the soldiers said honestly: "Reporting to this general, we are Lord Guling Xiong."
The soldiers under my master’s command.”
Xiong...my master Xiong?
Xiang Mo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He opened his mouth a few times, and then asked in a tight voice: "Where is Mr. Xiong Wu now?"
The soldiers shook their heads, and one of them said: "I don't know. When the flood came, several generals protected Young Master Xiong and left first. I don't know which direction they went."
…
After hearing this, Xiang Mo groaned secretly in his heart.
You must know that Gulingjun Xiong Wu was born to the Queen of Chu. If he really drowned here because of his relationship with Xiang Mo, this... Even the Xiang family cannot afford to suffer this!
Thinking of this, Xiang Mo asked angrily: "You...why are you here? Aren't you waiting in Juyang County?"
So the soldiers told Xiang Mo everything that had happened in the past few days, and Xiang Mo was very upset.
At this time, Zhi County was close at hand. Seeing this, the heroic general Yu Ji reminded Xiang Mo in a low voice: "General, Zhi County has arrived..."
Xiang Mo turned around and looked towards the vicinity of Qi County.
At present, everything around Zhi County has become a vast ocean, and in this vast ocean, you can see floating corpses from time to time, wearing armor in the style of the Chu army.
Ji Run......
Xiang Mo gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Qi County.
At the same time, the direction of Zhi County had already noticed this group of uninvited guests, and the Wei troops on the city wall shouted loudly.
"Thank you, General Xiang Mo, for relieving our Zhi County from the siege!"
"Thank you, General Xiang Mo, for relieving our Zhi County from the siege!"
"Thank you, General Xiang Mo, for relieving our Zhi County from the siege!"
The Wei army shouted three times in unison, and the shouts were like thunder, resounding throughout a ten-mile radius.
Looking at Xiang Mo again at this time, he saw that the Chu general had a gloomy face, his eyes were slightly protruding, and his right hand was tightly clenched into a fist.
"Peng!"
hateful!
Cursing secretly in his mind, Xiang Mo slammed his fist on the guardrail of the ship. (To be continued.)
