Han Yanshou was once again shocked by the situation before him.
The mountain torrent appeared so punctually, and then the troops were dispatched, which has confirmed that it was Zhao Muyun's intentional cause.
The only explanation now is that this mountain torrent was caused by Zhao Muyun building a dam in the mountains to store water.
He should have launched a flood attack on King Zhelan, but King Loufan's 10,000 troops happened to attack him.
So, Zhao Muyun chose to take them all down at once!
Han Yanshou thought that the Northern Di Chanyu had received the request for help from Subuchi and the request for assistance from the King of Zhelan, so he sent the King of Loufan to lead the troops into Yuzhou.
It only took Zhao Muyun about ten days to build a dam that was so big that it caused such a devastating flood!
Connecting the dots, Han Yanshou figured it out.
"Your Majesty, we are now unarmed and lack horses. Our soldiers are all soaked and cannot fight at all."
"Quickly avoid their attack and retreat!"
Han Yanshou's eyes were dim as he advised King Loufan.
As the fire dragon got closer and closer, the area where the Tartars were lighting torches and lanterns had received special attention, and arrows were shot towards the lit areas.
King Loufan had lost all hope.
If he waited for Zhao Muyun's troops to attack from above, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
"Mr. Han, let's go! Let's get out of here first!"
The 35-year-old King Loufan seemed to have aged a lot and his speech became weak.
Hundreds of Tatars surrounded Prince Loufan and stumbled eastward in the dark.
Along the way, Tartar captains and lieutenants continued to join in with their men.
Only when they were several miles away from the camp, could no longer hear the roar of the flood, and saw the fire dragon stop, did King Loufan and his men breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the people around me, they were all soaked and huddled together for warmth.
They were dazed, unarmed, and their eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
What’s even worse is that the cold wind is blowing, and I’m shivering all over and my teeth are chattering.
It's still late at night and it's pitch black all around. I don't know when it will be dawn.
"Mr. Han, why don't we go to King Zhelan's camp? We can't stay here cold and hungry."
The surrounding Tartars asked one after another.
"Zhao Muyun stubbornly defended Feihukou, then suddenly launched a naval attack. Not only us, but King Zhelan was probably also his target."
"The lower reaches of the Laishui River are where the city of Weizhou lies. Weizhou City is low-lying, and King Zhelan's military camp is just outside the city."
Han Yanshou was sweating as he spoke. "This Zhao Muyun is truly ruthless. He's been quietly storing water for so many days, intending to annihilate us and King Zhelan in one fell swoop and lift the siege of Weizhou!"
Prince Loufan was shocked: "Mr. Han, should we inform Prince Zhelan?"
Han Yanshou shook his head: "Even if we notify him, it's too late. He can only wish him the best!"
The lower reaches of the Laishui River are wide. It is unknown whether such a large amount of water suddenly pouring in will turn it into a vast ocean like here.
You can see and believe it, the situation is definitely not optimistic.
Since Zhao Muyun chose to store flood water to bury King Zhelan, he had already made sufficient calculations to ensure that the flood water could submerge King Zhelan's camp.
"Where are we going then?"
"Go northeast to Zhigu Pass, gather your troops, and then make plans." Han Yanshou said helplessly.
King Loufan led a group of remaining soldiers and headed northeast.
......
at the same time.
Outside the city of Weizhou, King Zhelan’s camp.
Someone promptly reported the situation of the two thousand-man teams fighting outside.
In the dead of night, they fought with torches, so visibility was naturally very low.
But the two thousand-man teams showed their prowess in the dark night and slaughtered the five thousand soldiers led by Captain Li and Captain Zhang.
Also, because it was late at night, the Tartar cavalry had low visibility, allowing many Dayin soldiers to escape.
The two thousand-man teams made a lot of gains and returned to the camp triumphantly with thousands of prisoners and captured weapons and armor.
King Zhelan and Huyan Gu did not rest and kept an eye on the movements of Weizhou City and the two troops.
When he heard the spies report that the two thousand-man teams had won a great victory, he was immediately overjoyed.
The frustration of being besieged for many days suddenly disappeared.
"Hahaha! Those people in the city must have run out of options before they decided to break out overnight. Luckily, we took precautions."
"If we defeat half of them tonight, tomorrow morning we can storm the city with all our might, capture Weizhou, and slaughter the entire city in one day!"
King Zhelan's eyes were filled with excitement.
The captains around him also had shining eyes.
After working hard for a month and a half, I can finally taste the fruits of victory.
"My king, aren't we worried about the Dayin army at Feihukou?" asked a captain.
"Haha, King Loufan has already sent me a letter. They've set up camp at Feihukou. If Zhao Muyun's men dare to come down, they'll be attacked."
"Therefore, we no longer have to worry about anything and can attack the city with confidence."
"Plus, the two captains have just led their troops to kill the 5,000 soldiers who fled the city. The soldiers in the city are already exhausted. It will be easy for us to capture Weizhou."
"It's already late. Everyone, return to camp now to rest and get enough energy for the attack on the city tomorrow morning."
King Zhelan spoke with great joy and spit flying everywhere.
All the subordinates also echoed loudly.
Pushan Tiecong has been depressed until now because half of his thousand cavalrymen were killed by Zhao Muyun's 550 cavalrymen that day.
He seemed to have little interest in attacking Weizhou City tomorrow. Instead, he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to fight back with Zhao Muyun's 500 cavalrymen to wash away the shame.
Immediately, Huyan Gu and his subordinates left King Zhelan's tent one after another.
When they went out of the big tent, suddenly a dull loud noise came from the darkness.
It was like the silence of thousands of horses, or like rumbling thunder coming from far away.
The sound grew louder and louder.
Everyone stopped, pricked up their ears, and looked horrified.
This kind of earth-shattering, mountain-shattering sound may be the first time I have ever heard it in my life.
"What the hell is this? It looks like tens of thousands of cavalry are charging towards us!"
"It's impossible for Dayin to have so many cavalrymen. Even if they did, they would probably act at night."
"What on earth is that?"
“…”
Everyone was extremely panicked and tried to guess what was going on, but none of them could come to a conclusion.
People are often full of curiosity and fear about unknown things.
However, in the dark, visibility is extremely low and it is impossible to see clearly what it is.
As the sound grew louder, the loud crashing noise became clearly audible.
"Order everyone to be alert and on high alert!"
"Send out men immediately, light torches, and see what's going on."
King Zhelan had a look of surprise and doubt on his face, and he quickly asked Huyan Gu to arrange for an investigation.
Huyan Gu called out to people, and immediately someone lit a torch and went to investigate in the direction of the sound.
Soon someone came running over in a panic:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister!"
"The Laishui River is flooded!"
"There are so many bodies floating in the river."
What!
Everyone was shocked.
