265.Chapter 265: Shock
The flood was so great that it soon submerged the entire Baibo Valley, the lower ground.
Of the 27,000 troops, less than 20,000 fled to the mountains. Many of the soldiers were so frightened by the flood that they threw away their weapons and fled to the North Mountain.
Because Guan Hai, Xu Huang and others wanted the soldiers to re-establish the camp on the north mountain. Therefore, most of the soldiers gathered closer to Beishan.
Xu Huang fled to the mountain in embarrassment, looking at the rolling waves below, shocked and angry.
They were just about to start moving the grain and grass, but before they could move the grain and grass up the mountain, the flood rushed in.
Although nearly 20,000 people have escaped for their lives, they are trapped on the north mountain, and it will not be long before they all starve to death.
Fear spread in the hearts of the people, and some of the soldiers sat on the ground, hugged their knees and sobbed quietly. No one is unafraid of floods and death.
Xu Huang strode in front of Guan Hai and said, "General, now that the army's morale is fluctuating, we should first appease the soldiers, and then organize everyone to cut down trees and build ships." ”
Guan Hai was also a little shocked, and when he heard Xu Huang's suggestion, he remembered that he was the commander of this army.
Guan Hai hurriedly nodded and said, "Everything is according to Gongming's words. ”
If it weren't for Xu Huang this time, he noticed the abnormality in advance and gathered the soldiers at the bottom of the North Mountain. I'm afraid that when the flood came, many of the soldiers were still in their tents.
In this case, 30,000 soldiers and horses can escape 5,000, which is very good.
"I don't know what happened to General Yang?"
Xu Huang looked at the direction in which Yang Feng and the others left, full of sorrow.
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
However, it was said that Yang Feng took 3,000 Baibo troops out of Baibo Valley and went upriver along the Fenshui River. When the flood broke out, Yang Feng was also terrified.
The flood raged, and the 3,000 White Polish troops scattered and fled. But in the face of the raging torrent, many soldiers did not have time to flee to the high ground, and were swept away by the flood.
Yang Feng's men, some loyal soldiers who could swim, took Yang Feng with them, and survived in the flood.
Yang Feng's luck was good, and before the soldiers were exhausted, a large tree that had been broken by the flood fell down. The soldiers of the Baibo Army worked together to take Yang Feng to climb the tree.
However, the big tree went down the river and was swept over by the flood. A few of the soldiers couldn't stand the toss and were swept away by the flood again.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the big tree to run aground in a higher position, and Yang Feng escaped with a few scattered people.
At this time, Yang Feng, the helmet and armor had long been lost, and even the weapon was gone.
It is true that the helmet was washed away by the flood, but the armor on his body was untied by himself on the way to escape for his life in order to reduce weight.
In this way, Yang Feng and the others were unarmed and stayed alone on the high ground.
A flood made the road and the state army become gloomy. Whether it is Yang Feng, Guan Hai, Xu Huang and others, they all look a little miserable.
In stark contrast, it is a different army.
On the field flooded by Fenshui, a group of dense rafts went down the river. There is a general at the head, and he is full of spirit.
This general is none other than Hu Zhen.
Hu Zhen was originally a strong general under Dong Zhuo's account, and when the princes begged Dong, Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Sun Jian.
It was only because Lu Bu and Hu Zhen did not agree that he deliberately stumbled behind his back, which made Hu Zhen return defeated. Since then, Hu Zhen has not been treated much by Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo's death, Wang Yun didn't want to let go of Li Dao and others. But Hu Zhen and Yang Ding are both famous heroes in Liangzhou, so they recruited them.
Later, Li Dao sent troops to attack Chang'an, and Wang Yun sent Xu Rong and Hu Zhen to fight against Li Dao in Xinfeng. After the defeat, Xu Rong was killed, and Hu Zhen led the remaining soldiers to surrender, and together with Li Dao, led his troops to besiege Chang'an.
This time, he came to block Guan Hai, the commander of Xiliang of the 30,000 army, who was Hu Zhen.
At first, when Li Dao gave him 3,000 soldiers and horses and asked him to lead the troops to come, Hu Zhen was still very reluctant. After all, with 3,000 against 30,000, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.
It wasn't until Jia Xu informed Hu Zhen of his plan that Hu Zhen was ecstatic and wanted to make a miracle achievement.
Hu Zhen said to the soldiers behind him: "Although the world is big, but it can be like a military advisor, and his grasp of people's hearts is at its peak, I'm afraid no one can send a military advisor." ”
The Xiliang soldiers behind him all nodded fiercely.
The military advisor Hu Zhen mentioned was none other than Jia Xu. Although Jia Xu did not have the position of leading the division, now the generals of the entire Xiliang Army regard Jia Xu as their military division.
Jia Xu saw through Cheng Yu's soldiers and horses, and feinted to attack Zuo Feng Yi. Let Li Dao send people to bluff and set up camp on their way south.
Then he said to Li Dao and others: "Hanoi and Henan Yin counties, it doesn't hurt to abandon them." However, the two counties of Hedong and Hongnong are the eastern gateways of Chang'an. ”
"Don't annihilate the army in the middle of the state and retake these two counties. In the future, the entire Chang'an will be exposed to the soldiers of the state, and there will be endless troubles. ”
"If you mobilize a large army into Hedong County now, it will be difficult to hide your traces."
"Although Bingzhou is a proud soldier, its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Once the leading generals are alerted, it is not easy to annihilate this road of soldiers and horses in one fell swoop. ”
"So the soldiers and horses entering Hedong County this time can't exceed three thousand at most."
"Three thousand soldiers and horses, if they are used properly, can completely annihilate the 30,000 troops of the annexed state without spending a single soldier."
It is precisely for this reason that there is such a thing as flooding the White Wave Valley.
A general behind Hu Zhen said with admiration on his face: "How does the military advisor know that this road and state soldiers and horses will definitely set up camp in Baibo Valley?" ”
Hu Zhen replied: "I used to be puzzled in my heart, and when I asked the military advisor, the military advisor just smiled and said: This is human nature. ”
"Although until now, I have not understood what the military advisor meant. But it turned out that the conjecture of the military division was completely correct. ”
It is by no means an easy task to be able to predict in advance that this road and state army will set up camp in the Baibo Valley.
Jia Xu learned that in the middle of this army, there was Yang Feng, the former commander of the White Polish Army, and 10,000 White Polish troops. He was sure that when the state army passed through the Baibo Valley, they would definitely go in and set up camp.
Therefore, a long time ago, Hu Zhen led his troops to cut off the Fenshui River and store a large amount of river water.
"With 3,000 soldiers and horses, 30,000 troops were annihilated and annexed. After today, I will definitely be famous all over the world! ”
The more Hu Zhen thought about it, the more he felt high-spirited, he waved his big hand and shouted: "First hunt and kill with all your might, and the Bingzhou army outside will be lucky enough to escape with their lives." Go to the White Wave Valley again and clean up the mess! ”
In the end, Hu Zhen did not forget to add: "You remember, don't hurt the life of the general of Bingzhou." ”
On the high ground, Yang Feng and a few people looked at the Xiliang army who came over on a raft with a hideous face, and their hearts were extremely desperate.
The officer of the Xiliang Army on the raft shouted at the soldiers on the raft: "Bow and arrow, shoot them all!" ”
"Chirp!"
With a sound of breaking through the air, the arrow shot towards Yang Feng and the others. Yang Feng was unarmed and had no armor, how could they dodge the fire of dense arrows?
It was just a salvo, and all the soldiers on the high ground were killed by arrows.
Feeling his own blood, which kept flowing from his body, Yang Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood and said intermittently: "I am the general of the state......
Before Yang Feng's words could be finished, his body fell to the ground with a bang.
The general who had just ordered the archery had changed his face when he heard this.
Over time, the raging floodwaters have gradually begun to subside. The Xiliang army led the soldiers under the tent and took a raft to hunt and kill Yang Feng's subordinates, and it has been two hours since they escaped with their lives.
"Now, outside the White Wave Valley, there are no more fish that have slipped through the net, right?"
Hu Zhen was immersed in a great sense of accomplishment when he suddenly saw a raft and rowed towards him in a hurry. From afar, Hu Zhen saw the look of panic on the general's face.
When the raft was near, the general said with a sad face: "General, when the last general went to hunt down and kill the Bingzhou army, he saw that several people had no weapons and armor, so he ordered them to be shot. ”
"But I don't want to, one of them is actually Yang Feng, the general of Bingzhou."
After listening to the general's words, the smile on Hu Zhen's face suddenly froze. Before leaving, Jia Xu repeatedly confessed that he tried his best to capture the general of the state army alive.
Although he didn't understand what Jia Xu meant, Hu Zhen still patted his chest and promised Jia Xu that he would not harm the life of the general of Bingzhou.
Now, a general of the soldiers and horses of this road and state has died in this way. After Hu Zhen went back, how could he explain to Jia Xu?
Fortunately, Hu Zhen is also a battlefield veteran and knows that accidents are easy to occur on the battlefield. So he didn't blame the general, but he didn't take credit for killing the general of the state.
Otherwise, Hu Zhen was afraid that if he ran into the general of Bingzhou in the future, they would kill him again.
Hu Zhen looked at the sky and found that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, so he muttered in a low voice: "Good show, is it still to come?" ”
On the north mountain of Baibo Valley, Guan Hai and Xu Huang finally calmed the hearts of the army. Both of them looked at the flood below the mountain, and both of them had worried looks on their faces.
"General, we should now go into the mountains and cut down trees to build boats and rafts. Otherwise, if we wait until the Xiliang army comes and surround Baibo Valley, we will have no food in the army, and we will definitely be in chaos without a fight. ”
Guan Hai heard Xu Huang's words and nodded yes.
The northern mountain of the White Wave Valley is so dense with grass and trees that if you go into the mountains, you can't even see the sun.
Xu Huang led the soldiers into the mountains, preparing to cut down enough trees to build ships.
"What does it smell like?"
Xu Huang's nose twitched a few times, and he thought suspiciously.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "The whole army withdraws from the forest!" Withdraw the whole army from the forest! ”
"Boom!"
As soon as Xu Huang's words fell, a raging fire ignited on the entire North Mountain. The fire danced in the wind, and soon engulfed the soldiers of the state.
