"How exactly will the barbarian soldiers be flooded?" Li Xue asked.

“Li Guang has a very good battle tactic. I studied it and found it to be completely feasible, so we will follow this method.”

Shang Wei led an army of 100,000 to attack Shuixian Village, never dreaming that what awaited them was a flood.

The floods of the Wei River during the annual flood season all originate from flash floods. The area surrounding Shuixian Village is surrounded by continuous mountains. Whenever it rains continuously in the mountains, the rainwater flows into the Wei River along the canyons, causing the river to overflow.

Now that the Wei River flood season has arrived, although the rainfall is not heavy, it will last for a long time. We can artificially control the floods in the mountains, causing the flash floods to erupt in a concentrated manner and generate huge destructive power.

Li Guang's idea was to block the valley with rocks, causing all the floodwaters to concentrate in the valley. When the enemy army entered the Wei River basin, they would open the valley entrance, and the floodwaters in the valley would surge out and rush into the Wei River.

Once the floodwaters entered the Wei River, the river swelled rapidly, submerging everything on both banks.

On both banks of the Wei River, vast amounts of farmland and villages would be flooded, but we had no choice but to do so in order to eliminate the invaders.

After the plan was finalized, Yao Lin immediately ordered all the soldiers to go to the mountains and begin using rocks to block the floodwaters at the mouth of the valley.

There is not much rain at present, and the flash floods are not significant, so they can be completely contained.

In order to store more floodwater in the valley and release it with greater destructive power, the soldiers built the dike high and large, so that they could simply blow it up when the time came.

In Gujiazhuang, Li Guang drilled his troops and practiced his marksmanship every day.

Di Numa's injuries had mostly healed by this time, and he was able to run on the training ground, but it would still take some time for him to fully recover.

During this time, Li Guang and Di Numa spent every day together and developed a deep affection for each other. Di Numa's dependence on Li Guang also increased day by day.

Li Guang saw this and was overjoyed. This horse would be his mount, and he would not return it to the court. This horse would carry him across the battlefield.

It had been raining for two days straight when Li Guang suddenly remembered something that he had to do immediately, or he would miss a great opportunity.

He immediately ordered his generals to be summoned.

He told Gu Huai that his hometown, Shuixian Village, might be under attack by foreign enemies and that he had to go to its aid.

He ordered Gu Huai to lead three thousand soldiers to set off immediately for Shuixian Village to join Zhao Xian in fighting the invaders.

Gu Huai was overjoyed when he heard this. Li Guang was ordering him to lead troops into battle, which would be the first time in his life that he had led troops into battle and made a name for himself.

Gu Huai immediately mustered three thousand soldiers, bid farewell to his father and elder brother, and embarked on his journey.

Meanwhile, Shang Wei, the Left General of the foreign kingdom, led an army of 100,000 across the border and marched straight into the Central Plains.

His mission this time was to attack Shuixian Village and ultimately control the Qing'an Prefecture area.

It seems that the intelligence from the foreign country was very accurate. They knew that several thousand soldiers were stationed in Narcissus Village. This force was equipped with advanced weapons and bombs that terrified them.

They headed straight for Shuixian Village, and with their superior forces, they flattened the village and captured Zhao Xian.

In this way, they could have Zhao Xian produce weapons and bombs for them, and with these treasures, the war would be much easier in the future.

After taking control of the region, Shang Wei led his army to the capital, where they joined forces, captured the capital, and seized their emperor and princes. The Great Northern Dynasty was essentially finished.

Shang Wei's 100,000-strong army swept through cities and strongholds with unstoppable momentum, and the civilians along the way had long since fled.

As they progressed, the resistance weakened, and many places became deserted, with little to no major resistance encountered.

Shang Wei calculated that at this marching speed, the team would reach Shuixian Village in less than ten days.

Just as he was having a wonderful dream, it started to rain. By then, his army had already entered the Central Plains.

After entering the Central Plains, the rainfall increased significantly, and the further we went, the more rainy it became.

When this large army entered the Central Plains to fight, there was no logistical support, and they had to rely on themselves for everything. Therefore, they brought a large amount of supplies and provisions with them.

The road was muddy and very difficult to travel. At this marching speed, even if they were given another half month, they would not be able to reach Narcissus Village.

But he had no choice; he couldn't just stop and wait for the rainy season to pass, or he would miss the opportunity to win the battle.

Shang Wei had no choice but to lead his team forward day and night in the continuous drizzle.

This made things difficult for the soldiers; they were soaked to the bone and covered in mud, enduring days of crawling and rolling in the wind and rain.

To be honest, this team is really tough. They persisted in marching in such harsh conditions without stopping to rest.

And so, more than ten days passed, and the rain finally stopped, and the sun began to shine on the earth.

Shang Wei was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to find out how far away Narcissus Village was.

Soon, a scout reported that Narcissus Village was less than 100 li away, and the road ahead was very easy to travel; it would only take a day to reach Narcissus Village.

Shang Wei was overjoyed and immediately ordered the troops to advance quickly, aiming to reach and capture Shuixian Village before nightfall.

The road ahead was indeed much easier to travel. At this marching speed, we would reach Narcissus Village before nightfall.

Around noon, the large group arrived at a river. The river was very wide, and due to the continuous rain, the water level had risen considerably.

After marching through the mud for many days, the soldiers were covered in mud. Someone immediately suggested that the army rest by the river, cook their meals, and the soldiers could use this time to wash off the mud.

Shang Wei looked around and saw that the area was flat and safe to rest here, so he agreed.

The soldiers were overjoyed. They rushed to the riverbank, took off their clothes, and jumped into the river naked, ready to take a good bath.

Soon the river was full of people, washing off the mud and playing in the water.

Soon, they noticed the river was rising, but this didn't catch their attention. Northerners rarely swim in rivers, and the water temperature was just right. They were very comfortable soaking in the water and didn't want to get out.

Shang Wei stood by the river, watching the rising waters. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately ordered the soldiers in the water to come ashore.

But it was too late. The river was rising faster and faster, and the water had already overflowed the riverbank. The cooking stoves that the cooks had just lit were already flooded.

"Run! The group may be under attack!" People began to realize this, but it was too late.

With 100,000 troops concentrated together, and many still submerged in the water, there was no time to get out.

The great river was no longer visible; the area had become a vast expanse of water.
