A shocking sound came from a distance, followed by the whistling water. The vast white mounds were endless. Under the night sky, the mounds that were close to each other gathered on the mounds and shouted to him, "Run quickly", and they were very anxious.

The cold river water washed me down and then poured myself into my mouth and nose. At that moment, the sky was spinning, my breathing was not smooth, and I began to suffocate.

The appearance of parents and brothers appears before their eyes, and many fragments of short life flash quickly in their minds, and then there is endless darkness.

Li Jing suddenly opened his eyes and saw the white clouds in the sky. He turned his head to look around and found that it was the familiar group of big men who snatched their feet. Finally, he sat up and found that he had not drowned.

The sheepskin bag tied to her body disappeared, the armor had been removed, and someone changed them to dry clothes.

Of course, the big-mouthed pants were still wet, with a thick cloth around the waist, just like a skirt, which should be to prevent myself from catching a cold when the cold wind blows.

Look at the sky, the rising sun was rising, the sky was bright, and the mound was in a mess, and there were dark crowds gathering on the mounds nearby, and it seemed that they had escaped the flood.

I don’t know if there are any unlucky people who failed to retreat to the mound in time and escape the disaster.

The soldiers on the side saw Li Jing in a coma who was drowning and became happy, then turned their heads and shouted to their companions around: "Governor is awake!"

Li Jing wanted to stand up and reached out to the other party to ask him to help him. But the boy was stunned and shouted, but he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but when he saw the concerned eyes of his subordinates who were surrounding him, his heart was quite warm.

Thinking of the situation when he was in danger, Li Jing asked, "Where are the others? Are they all okay?"

"It's okay, the governor! Those are all good, they are jumping around... Hey hey, hurry up, take the cakes to fill the stomach for the governor!"

"Get water."

"Oh, the governor has just drunk so much water...ah, okay, bring the water right away!"

Li Jing took the bamboo tube, drank all the warm water just filled in the bamboo tube in one breath, stood up, looked around, and couldn't help but sigh: This scene is really not easy!

He could have arrived at the pre-demarcated refuge mound before the flood arrived, but because several subordinates fell while running, he led his men back and pulled them back, wasting time. Just as he ran up the mound, the water whistled.

Li Jing can't swim. Although he was wearing a bulging sheepskin sack, he was still swept away by the waves. He struggled in the water for a while and then lost consciousness. Now he learned that it was the "lifeguard" who was circulating in water that saved them.

The lifeguard is a skilled person who is specially equipped with a skilled water. He has a rope tied around his waist and a sheepskin bag tied to his body, specifically saving those "actors" who have no time to hide from the soil mound.

The so-called "actor" is the soldiers and young and strong people who participated in the war this time. They attacked Yanling according to the command of the commander and King Xiyang, but in fact they were acting and performing a drama of "attacking Yanling".

They took advantage of the night to get close to Yanling, arranged a large number of scarecrows, lit torches, put on a clockwork "self-beating drum" to make noise, and then the archers shot rockets at the top of the city.

It was dark at night, and the defenders on the city could not see that most of the people outside the city were scarecrows, so they had to act like they had to attack the city with all their might before dawn.

Li Jing and his subordinates participated in the operation. "Governor Li" who led the team to fight for the first time also volunteered to undertake the most dangerous task, which was to cross the river to the south bank and bluff.

He inserted a large number of scarecrows into the wilderness and lit a torch, making the Yanling defenders think that they set up a village on the south bank and cut off their retreat.

Torches must be lit on both sides of the north and south sides of the Wushui River, "beating drums" should be set, and rockets should be shot into the city from time to time. This is not difficult to do. The difficulty is to retreat to the high mound before the flood that will appear at any time.

Because according to the preliminary investigation by the scout, the enemy was on high alert in the upper reaches of Yanling and was very likely to have built a dam to store water. As long as the other party thought Yanling was in danger, the dike would burst and release water.

In this way, the soldiers who "attacked" Yanling must leave scarecrows, torches, and drums in the same "tempo", and quickly retreat to a high place to avoid the flood you rushed into.

The grasp of the "temperature" is the key, and the soldiers who planted scarecrows on the south bank were far away from the shelter on the north bank, and the timing of retreat was even more difficult to grasp.

If the enemy really breaks the dam and releases water, the side will not be able to take the time to release water. Therefore, once the team on the south bank cannot return to the tall mounds on the north bank before the flood arrives, as many people will die.

But Li Jing was not afraid and was willing to accept the challenge. In fact, he did take the team back to the north shore for refuge in time. He was swept away by the whistling flood just to save a few soldiers who were behind.

Thinking back to the thrilling moment, Li Jing was still a little scared. He couldn't water. If someone hadn't saved him, he would have drowned even if he had a sheepskin sack tied to his body.

Water attack is really powerful. No wonder so many famous generals use water attack to defeat the enemy!

Li Jing, who survived the disaster, sighed that he had only seen the written description of water attack in books before, but now he has experienced water attack personally, and he is immersive and has a deeper understanding of how to use troops.

This time, the King of Xiyang fought with the enemy. In a hurry, it was impossible to verify whether someone was building a dam upstream of Yanling to store water, but he still made preparations to earn the opponent's dam to break the dam and release the water.

I thought the enemy was already cheering at this time, and only said that a flood would rush the troops besieging Yanling to clean, but he didn't know that the King of Xiyang took his troops and horses to detour elsewhere and wanted to give them a fatal blow.

This kind of teasing the enemy makes him feel very sad after being overjoyed. Just thinking about it makes Li Jing very excited.

"Governor Li!!"

A loud shout brought Li Jing back to reality from his distraction. When he turned around, he saw that the chief general Shi Wanbao came over. Shi Wanbao, who was less than 30 years old, was the younger brother of Shi Wansui, the general of the marching general, and was the partial commander of the feint attack on Yanling this time.

When Shi Wanbao heard that Governor Li Jing had woken up, he turned around and saw that Li Jing was fine. He laughed and slapped the other party on the shoulder: "Governor Li, if you have time in the future, you have to learn to swim in the water!"

"Ah... I will understand... I understand..."

"Or, I will teach you myself when I have time! But it's as cold as it is today, and it will only take after spring will warm up."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

Li Jing agreed, but he didn't want to. As the saying goes, once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of a rope, so he almost drowned. Now he felt a little palpitations when he saw the water. He probably had to take a while before he could want to learn swimming.

Shi Wanbao is from Guanzhong and is considered a "members" with Li Jing. He speaks with Guanzhong accents, so during the Chu-speaking southeast road marching, Li Jing felt that Shi Wanbao was quite friendly.

Shi Wanbao signaled to Li Jing, the "little fellow villager", to find a cloth to block it, and quickly changed his wet pants to avoid the cold wind and catch a cold. He picked up the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and observed Yanling City in the south.

This time, the King of Xiyang ordered him to act. The drama was done well. Most of the soldiers under his command avoided the flood, but some people failed to retreat in time and were swept away by the flood, and their lives and death were uncertain.

This is how the war is, and casualties cannot be avoided. Shi Wanbao has no time to be sad, because next, he has to find a way to escape with his subordinates.

Now that the flood has disappeared, the enemy must have thought that he had suffered heavy casualties, so in a while, it will be time for the other party to "beat the dog in the water".

If you just retreat, you will definitely not be able to retreat.

Shi Wanbao finally had the opportunity to lead the army alone, so he naturally had to perform well. Seeing that everyone was resting almost the same, the enemy must chase him, so he quickly signaled the commander to approach and then began to issue orders.

"Let everyone be more agile, pack up quickly and prepare to greet the guests!"

......

In the east of Yanling City, Yuchi Youqi, who led his army to cross the river, pulled his mount, looked at the roughly intact Yanling City Wall, and then looked at the cheering defenders on the top of the city, raised their hands and waved their greetings.

A big flood washed away the outside of Yanling City. Even if there were many enemies who besieged the city, they were no longer visible. However, after the flood, there was mud everywhere, which took Yuchi Youqi's soldiers and horses a long time to arrive at the south bank of the Bingshui River and then to cross the river smoothly.

According to the scouts, there were crowds gathering on some hills in the north, probably survivors of the enemy, who escaped from the flood at a high place.

These people are lucky, but that's all.

Yuchi Youqi planned to take advantage of the victory and eliminate the remaining enemies, but he did not need to lead his troops to pursue him. He had to give the credit to the generals, he only needed to wait for good news in Yanling.

Seeing that everything went well, he rode his horse forward to Yanling City. Except for some of his followers, the rest of the troops slowly moved northward. The ground was a little muddy after the flood, and it was easy for the horses to slip when walking on it, so they could not walk too fast.

What's more, there are infighters walking forward, who can't get up in the mud.

However, if your side cannot get faster, the other side cannot get faster either.

Yuchi Youqi set up a trap in Yanling and was waiting to give the enemy a heavy blow. Of course, he had already visited the scene to check the terrain, so he planned the place to go when pursuing the remaining enemies in advance, and several generals also knew the route of march.

As long as you walk through a muddy area and arrive at a dry place with a higher terrain, the marching speed will increase quickly, and the remaining enemies will definitely not escape.

Yuchi Youqi really wanted to know whether King Zhu (King of Xiyang) Yuwen Wen was supervising the battle on the spot in the early morning, and was he "taken away" by the flood. He looked at the muddy wilderness and was a little confused: Why didn't he see a few corpses?

However, this doubt quickly dissipated. He believed that the enemy troops attacking Yanling were washed away by the flood and must have been washed to the downstream area, so it was normal that there were not many corpses outside the city.
