Everyone was thrown into chaos. The soldiers had no idea where to run. Just a moment ago they could stand in the water, but now they were floating on the surface.

Northerners, unfamiliar with swimming, would panic in this situation, having no choice but to struggle in the water and shout for help.

At this moment, the river began to swell rapidly, the surface of the water seemed to boil, and the river roared as it surged in all directions.

The sudden and powerful flood swept away all the military supplies and provisions they had brought, and most of the soldiers were lost to the flood.

Shang Wei was completely baffled. Had his army been attacked? That didn't make sense.

There wasn't a single person in this area, so where did the sudden flood come from?

Now is not the time to think about these issues; escaping is the priority.

The high ground was not far ahead, and it would be safe once they reached it. The soldiers in the shallow water desperately fled to the higher ground.

But many others will never reach that height; they have long since vanished, and death awaits them.

The flood came quickly and went quickly; in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the muddy water began to recede, and the roads that had been submerged were now exposed.

Although it was only a short time, the losses inflicted on Shangwei's army were irreparable.

This is unbelievable! Shang Wei was completely dumbfounded.

Shang Wei began to take stock of his troops. He had brought 100,000 soldiers, but now only 40,000 to 50,000 remained. All the military supplies he had brought had been washed away by the flood, and now he didn't even have a single grain of food left.

How could they possibly fight this battle? Shang Wei was furious; he had never suffered such a loss before.

This was a natural disaster, and there was nothing I could do about it. I could only blame my bad luck. Fortunately, I still had 40,000 to 50,000 men, which was enough to deal with the small Narcissus Village.

There is no way out now, so we have to go all in and head to Narcissus Village. Once we take Narcissus Village, things will be much easier.

Shang Wei decided to rest here, organize his equipment, and see if he could gather some provisions before attacking Narcissus Village early the next morning.

They made thorough preparations to prevent a nighttime attack, but no one came to launch a sneak attack until dawn.

Shang Wei seemed to understand. He estimated that everyone here had already fled, and no one dared to confront his army. His caution had been completely unnecessary.

We are currently short of food and supplies, and even a full meal is a luxury. While we still have some strength, we should take down Narcissus Village.

Soon, the army arrived at the outskirts of Narcissus Village, where a row of defensive fortifications had already been erected, indicating that they were prepared.

At Shang Wei's command, the army immediately formed neat ranks and stood ready for battle.

Gradually, they realized something was wrong; the camp opposite them was silent, as if it were an empty camp.

"Father, it looks like an empty camp ahead. Let me go forward and investigate."

At this moment, Shang Wei's eldest son, Shang Long, urged his horse forward, demanding to go and break into the camp.

"Wait a minute."

Shang Wei stopped Shang Long. The military camp was full of surprises, and he didn't want his eldest son to go and take the risk.

"As far as I know, Shuixian Village only has three thousand soldiers, and they have just been formed. They are not worth worrying about at all. Our military supplies and food have been washed away by the flood, and we urgently need a camp."

"Regardless of whether there are people in this camp, we'll take it first, then attack Shuixian Village."

“Alright, then I will lead five thousand soldiers to storm the camp,” Shang Long said.

"You don't need to do this. When we attack Narcissus Village later, you'll lead the charge."

After Shang Wei finished speaking, he looked at one of the generals beside him, Hamilon.

"General Ha, take three thousand soldiers and take the camp ahead."

"Your humble servant obeys."

Hamilon immediately mustered 3,000 troops and marched to the camp.

Since Narcissus Village only has three thousand men, even if they are all concentrated in the military camp in front, they are not a threat.

Hamilon cautiously approached the front of the camp. The camp gate was wide open, and the inside was in disarray, indicating that it was an abandoned military camp.

Seeing this, Hamilon was overjoyed; it was now certain that this was an empty camp.

Hamiron brandished his broadsword and shouted.

"Soldiers, charge in!"

Three thousand soldiers brandished their weapons and charged into the camp.

After Hamilon rushed in, he began to inspect the situation in the camp. Gradually, he sensed that something was wrong with the camp.

Although the camp was empty and there wasn't a single person in sight, one could sense a murderous aura emanating from within.

As a seasoned general, his intuition was quite accurate, and he wanted to withdraw his troops, but it was too late.

Suddenly, thousands of archers appeared around the camp, aiming their crossbow bolts at the invaders.

"Release the arrows"

Yao Lin suddenly appeared in the military camp. Without the slightest hesitation or a word of nonsense, he immediately began to kill.

Hamilon was terrified and spurred his horse toward the camp gate, with three thousand soldiers following closely behind.

Before they could take two steps, a hail of crossbow bolts rained down on them, and thousands fell to the ground instantly.

These three thousand soldiers were really unlucky; before they could even escape the camp, they were all shot dead.

Hamilon was also a fierce general. He was riddled with arrows but did not fall. He charged out of the camp and came to Shangwei's horse before collapsing to the ground and dying.

Shang Wei saw all of this clearly. His three thousand soldiers had just entered the camp when they were all wiped out. He wondered what had happened inside the camp.

Judging from the tragic state of Hamiron, there must have been a large number of archers lying in ambush in the military camp.

At this moment, a group of people rushed out of the military camp. Judging from their appearance, there were at least five thousand men. Shang Wei couldn't help but gasp.

If there are 5,000 troops in the military camp, how could the garrison in Shuixian Village only have 3,000? It seems that the intelligence I received was inaccurate.

We can no longer underestimate our enemy. If we are defeated in Narcissus Village, we will have no choice but to atone with our deaths.

Judging from their posture, they intend to confront us. If that's the case, our army will have the advantage.

Then, Fashion Dragon approached Shang Wei and said:

"Father, leave the first battle to me."

Shang Wei nodded. He knew his son's strength. Shang Long had never been defeated on the battlefield. Apart from his powerful crossbows and bombs, Shui Xian Village probably didn't have any capable generals.

"You need to be extra careful to prevent them from launching a sneak attack with crossbows."

"Father, rest assured, I will make sure they never return."

After Shang Long finished speaking, he spurred his horse forward. He had two large iron hammers in his hands, each weighing three hundred catties, so the two hammers weighed six hundred catties, truly demonstrating his immense strength.

"What kind of hero uses crossbows to injure people? If you're so capable, spur your horse over here and fight your grandfather for three hundred rounds."

Shang Long started cursing as soon as he stepped onto the stage.

Zhao Xian also arrived at the front of the two armies. Strictly speaking, he was a modern man, and the scenes he had seen on television before were now unfolding before his eyes.
