"Lou Fan Wang led 10,000 cavalrymen to guard the official road from Feihu Ridge to Weizhou."
"His 10,000 cavalrymen have completely blocked the entrance to Feihu. Not even a fly can get through. How can they allow Zhao Muyun's army to get through?"
The sudden burst of fireworks from the northwest direction made King Zhelan suspicious.
The reality was that he just felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong.
King Loufan brought his own army of 10,000, not just a thousand or so.
Because of their presence, if Zhao Muyun wants to approach Weizhou City, he will need at least several times more troops to fight.
In other words, Zhao Muyun could only hide on Feihu Ridge.
"Your Majesty is wise. This possibility should be ruled out!" Huyan Gu echoed, "But in the face of absolute strength, these little tricks are useless!"
"Could it be a signal to send a rendezvous point to the two Dayin armies that just left the city?"
"If this is the signal, then they will have no choice but to cry!"
King Zhelan laughed heartily. "You think you can break out by taking advantage of the rain and darkness? Do you think my cavalry are vegetarians?"
"Our warriors have been incredibly brave in the night and rain, so we shouldn't be afraid of these minor difficulties."
"Pass the order down. Tell everyone not to panic over a single firework. Keep a close watch on Weizhou City. If any more troops emerge, capture them all."
Because of the rain, the generals went to sleep in their tents early.
When the two armies of Li Duwei and Zhang Duwei of the Dayin army were leaving the city, the Tatar captain under King Zhelan was awakened and went to the big tent to discuss the dispatch of troops.
King Zhelan sent two captains with a thousand men each to follow and pursue.
By the time the two captains caught up with the Dayin soldiers and started fighting, the other generals yawned and returned to the camp.
However, they didn't sleep for long as a firework-like light appeared in the northwest direction, which seemed to be some agreed signal. The generals were called again by the energetic King Zhelan.
They were all staggering around, very sleepy, and wished that King Zhelan would finish his talk as soon as possible so that they could go back to sleep.
No one said a word, only listening to what King Zhelan and Huyan Gu were saying.
Even Pushan Tiecong, who usually paid special attention to Huyan Gu's every word and action, chose to keep silent and did not oppose Huyan Gu.
"Add more guards to each captain."
"Huyan Gu, quickly send someone to investigate where the fireworks appeared and see if you can find any clues!"
King Zhelan did not allow everyone to discuss it and directly gave the order.
The seven captains expressed their willingness to send people and arranged to take turns on duty. Huyan Gu also hurriedly sent spies to investigate.
After a while, King Zhelan's camp returned to peace.
There is also some lingering night rain.
In the distance, the battle between two Tatar thousand-captain troops and the 5,000 infantrymen who came out of Weizhou to fight was still going on.
Although the two thousand Tatar cavalry were not numerous, they had already firmly gained the upper hand and left Dayin's five thousand infantry without any resistance.
The Tatar cavalry weaved back and forth among Dayin's soldiers, disrupting the Dayin army's formation so much that they could no longer form a formation to defend against the enemy.
Captain Li and Captain Zhang were regretting their decision to the core.
They broke out during a rainy night, thinking that the Tartars were all asleep.
As long as we leave quickly and don't get awakened and discovered by the Tartars, we can break out.
But the reality was that they had not left Weizhou for more than five or six miles when they were entangled by the two thousand cavalry sent by King Zhelan and attacked without mercy.
Once the Tatar cavalry were on horseback, they immediately became vigorous in killing the enemy.
The situation on the battlefield was one-sided. In the darkness, screams were heard and Dayin soldiers kept falling down.
The formation of Dayin's 5,000 men had already been disrupted by the Tartars.
What awaits them in the end is death!
......
"What time is it!"
"It's midnight, Master Lin!"
At this moment, beside the impounded lake five miles away from Feihu Ridge, a thousand soldiers were holding torches, anxiously waiting for Lin Feng's orders.
Lin Feng stared at an hourglass with his eyes wide open.
When the sand in the upper bottle of the hourglass completely poured into the lower bottle, Lin Feng knew it was time to take action.
After it rained for a while, the silt in the landslide lake that had been loosened could no longer withstand the huge pressure in the lake.
If we don't take the initiative to break the dam, there will be a danger of passive breaking of the dam.
However, a passive dam burst was not what Zhao Muyun wanted.
"Let it go!"
Seeing that the time was up, Lin Feng let out a roar.
The soldiers who had been standing on both sides of the river bank pulled up several thick ropes and used all their strength to pull up the wooden stakes as thick as bowls that were driven into the river bank at the other end of the ropes.
As the wooden piles fell off one by one, a huge crack appeared on the river bank.
When the last few wooden piles were pulled out, the hollow river embankment finally could not withstand the huge pressure.
boom!
With a loud bang, a wave of water as thick as a bucket spurted out more than ten meters away.
Then, as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting, the river bank cracked.
The water in the impounded lake poured down like a galloping horse.
The water flow became stronger and stronger, and the gap became larger and larger, constantly tearing it apart.
The roaring water carried away the silt, causing the silt that blocked the valley and formed a barrier lake to break apart.
The first flood peak rushed along the river like a pioneer, rushed out of the valley on the side of Feihu Ridge, and entered the plain of Weizhou.
King Loufan's troops were stationed east of Feihukou and on the north bank of Laishui River.
Originally he planned to be stationed on the south bank.
However, Han Yanshou saw that it had been raining for several days and was worried that the Laishui River would rise, so he suggested setting up the camp on the higher ground on the north bank.
However, to the west of King Loufan’s camp was a big bend in the Laishui River.
