Chapter 333 Shocking China(1/2)
"Chushui?!"
Wu Mingche was completely stunned at this moment.
Although Wu Mingche had fought against the puppet Qi many times, he was not familiar with Chushui. This was his first time leading an army to Jiangbei.
Jiangbei and Jiangnan look at each other across the river. They are separated by a river, but the situations in the two places are completely different.
Wu Mingche walked quickly towards the high platform built in the tent. The soldiers in the tent were running around at the moment. There were screams and roars everywhere. The officers dispatched one after another, galloping on their horses, and ordered the soldiers not to escape.
Anyone who tried to escape but was caught up by an officer would be killed with a knife.
Although the southerners don't know about the Chu River, they know about breaking its banks.
After all, water attack is a common tactic in Jiangnan, and many generals in the South have used similar methods.
These veterans are too experienced and they know very well what will happen next.
Wu Mingche quickly climbed up to the high platform and looked into the distance.
The originally calm Chushui River became extremely violent at this moment, rushing towards the main camp and the city. The nearest camps near the Chushui River have been completely submerged by the rapid water, and only some wreckage can be seen as the river continues.
Moving forward, the water flow was extremely fast and it was already rushing towards the camp.
The terrain of Guabu City is extremely low, and the Chu River is like thousands of knights rushing towards it, destroying everything in sight.
Wu Mingche trembled all over, and then fell into a daze.
The bursting of the embankment was not an accident, but man-made.
He sent someone to check the situation of Chushui. It was clear that in the past few days, the situation of Chushui had been normal and there was no abnormality.
Obviously, there was a strong man on the opposite side who was proficient in water attack tactics. He accurately calculated the situation of Chushui and then gave them a fatal blow.
And those people may be upstream at this moment, or in other directions, quietly waiting for the camp to be completely destroyed.
"General!! General!!"
The soldiers on the side shouted loudly, and Wu Mingche suddenly woke up.
He looked at the people around him and said, "Evacuate! Don't run to higher ground. Evacuate to the river! Get on the boat!!"
"General! The Chu River is so turbulent that the ships along the coast will also be affected!"
"I know!! Send me the order!!"
Wu Mingche roared, but the soldier did not dare to say anything and turned around to convey the order.
Wu Mingche walked off the high platform in a daze. Under the current situation, walking towards the river was a very stupid move, because the closer to the river, the lower the terrain and the greater the impact. Even the navy would be affected.
, these tens of thousands of troops plus the civilians and the like, I don’t know if the number of people who escaped can reach 30%.
However, if you run eastward at this moment, to the east of Guabu is Taoye Mountain. It is said that the name comes from Wang Xizhi.
Of course, if you go up a high slope now, you may be able to retain a lot of strength.
However, after the water attack, the menacing knights will annihilate them all on the high slope, and no one can escape. And after experiencing the embarrassing escape of the water attack, they are completely incapable of facing Beihu's cavalry.
To resist.
Wu Mingche thought about the consequences of the two in his mind, and immediately chose a method that could still escape some people.
Wu Mingche rode on the war horse. Even the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel something. It became particularly irritable, shaking its head and rubbing its hooves.
Wu Mingche ran around and began to organize the army to evacuate.
The action of tens of thousands of troops is a very complicated matter. If there is no reasonable coordination, no one knows how many people will die at the hands of their own people.
However, Chushui invaded the camp at this moment.
Following several screams, the outermost wooden fence collapsed to the ground, followed by the inner wall. The inner wall was made of wood. When facing the Chushui, it could not resist and was beaten to the ground.
As soon as the soldiers raised their heads, they saw the wooden block falling. They let out a scream and fell to the ground. Then they were submerged by the water. As the Chushui advanced, the soldiers completely lost control.
Wu Mingche was still working hard to organize, "You, you guys, go pick up the injured officers at all levels on their horses, and take away as many as you can!!"
"Liu Siduan, don't let your soldiers go towards the city!! Let them retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"You!! You guys! Go and hold my flag!!"
"Pile it up! Pile it up!"
Wu Mingche ran around frantically. Chushui's offensive was gradually weakened with one charge after another. Half of Wu Mingche's horse was already submerged in the water, and the horse sneezed in dissatisfaction.
Voice.
On the gentle slope to the north.
Liu Taozi was wearing armor, and the knights lined up and stood behind him.
The Chushui flooded all the way in front of them. Liu Taozi rode a horse and watched the tents surrounding the city in the distance being broken by the raging water. The soldiers looked so small in front of the flood, screaming everywhere.
They fled, but were swept away by the flood. The water swept them away, rushed to the south bank, and poured into the river all the way.
The Chushui embankment has been breached long ago, and the water continues to wash away the enemy's camps.
Within a few moments, at least half of the camps in the distance were in ruins.
Wang Lin stood aside, watching this scene, and suddenly raised her head and laughed.
He smiled very happily and loudly.
Looking at these screaming soldiers, his uneasy heart about burying an army of 100,000 people seemed to be released.
After all, Shi Wansui was young. Seeing such a miserable situation, he still couldn't laugh.
He had never thought that the water flow could be so lethal. Such an impact was actually more terrifying than the charge of a hundred thousand troops.
Liu Taozi's face was solemn, she just stared at the situation in the distance without saying a word.
Wang Lin suddenly said: "The enemy did not run towards Taoye as expected. They were running towards the river. It seems that Wu Mingche is still giving command. He knows that if he goes up the mountain, he will be wiped out by us."
"However, it is difficult for a large ship to dock under such water conditions, and there is always a danger of capsizing. If we flee south, we don't know how many people can survive."
Liu Taozi gave the order: "Bang the war drum."
“Dong dong dong dong~~~~”
The continuous sound of drums suddenly sounded from the north.
The sudden sound of war drums caused Chen Ren to lose control completely. Wu Mingche rode his war horse, but could no longer command his soldiers. Everyone just ran away and had no idea of fighting anymore.
Wu Mingche looked to the north in despair. The sound of the war drums was extremely dull, and it seemed to hit his heart every time.
The soldiers scrambled to escape, and some simply ran to the high slopes to the east to avoid the torrent.
War drums sounded from time to time, but the pursuit did not proceed.
The main reason was that the water was stronger than Wang Lin had expected. Because of the superiority of his navy, Wu Mingche deliberately set up the camp at the intersection of Chushui River and the river, so that the navy could transport goods and people from both sides at the same time.
It was this advantage that allowed him to ruin the army at this moment.
I don't know how much time passed, but the screams gradually weakened.
Liu Taozi raised the horse in his hand.
"rush!!"
The knights ran out wildly, and Liu Taozi led the army around the water from the north and towards the east. He wanted to first deal with the enemies who had fled to the high slopes, and then drive them into the water.
When the knights began to run wildly, the ground shook again.
Those soldiers and civilians had just climbed up the high slope. Before they could catch their breath, they saw the cavalry in the distance coming towards them like ghosts.
The sound of war drums is getting closer and closer.
They stood up in fear. Unarmed, they could only flee in all directions.
Liu Taozi was the first to rush over. As soon as a man who looked like a general raised his spear, Liu Taozi's horse hit him hard, and the general was directly thrown into the river by Liu Taozi.
Black Wind became even more violent, knocking over Chen Bing in front of him, and the knights chased him along the way.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!!!"
When they heard the Qi people's shouts, these Chen people hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for their lives.
Those who are unwilling to surrender can only jump into the rushing water.
Wu Mingche has now reached the southernmost point, where more than ten soldiers are desperately pulling a small boat.
The boat was still rocking.
"General! Get on the boat! Get on the boat!!"
Cheng Laohu shouted loudly.
Wu Mingche froze on the spot, looking at the warrior in front of him, but what came to his mind was the letter sent to him by the emperor.
His feet, which were originally raised, couldn't help but put them on the ground.
He looked around again.
The entire camp was completely destroyed. After Chushui entered the river, there was a place to vent, and the offensive gradually weakened. However, the entire Guabu area was soaked in water.
It wasn't as outrageous as before, but Wu Mingche was still soaked in the water and his whole body was cold.
"kill!!"
The roar of the Beihu knights came from the distance, and one by one the knights were seen approaching here. Each of them was holding a crossbow. Facing the Chen soldiers around them, they didn't show much mercy and just raised their bows to shoot.
To be continued...
