The flood came quickly and receded quickly.
It is extraordinary that a landslide lake that is about ten kilometers long and twenty to thirty meters deep can cause such an impact.
Along the way, the bodies of drowned Tartars appeared one after another, lying motionless on the roadside.
The body was covered in mud, sand, and weeds, and its face was pale from being soaked in water, looking eerie and terrifying.
Some of the Tartars had their eyes wide open, their eyes empty and filled with fear.
The Tartar, who couldn't swim, was still in the state of drowning.
It was obvious how much pain they had gone through and how hard they had tried to survive.
Some of the Tartars were naked and had peaceful expressions. They might have been washed away by the water while sleeping in the dark night and drowned without knowing what was happening.
The further east the team went, the more Tartars died, and their faces became more hideous and terrifying.
"Sir, we haven't seen any living Tartars along the way. Could it be that they were all drowned by the flood?"
Seeing this scene on the roadside, Li Si spurred his horse forward a few steps, came to Zhao Muyun, and said in surprise.
"How could a Tartar army of nearly 10,000 be completely submerged by the flood all at once? There must be many who slipped through the net."
"If my estimate is correct, Commander Lin should be encountered at Zhigu Pass. I wonder if his 1,000 men can stop the defeated Tartar troops."
"Pass the order down, all troops, speed up and reach the city of Weizhou as soon as possible."
Zhao Muyun looked towards Weizhou with deep eyes.
King Loufan's military camp was right at the head of the flood. The flood rushed down from a drop of hundreds of meters, and the impact was undoubtedly huge.
However, what he was most concerned about was the extent of damage to King Zhelan's army in the lower reaches of the Laishui River.
If King Zhelan's troops were completely destroyed in this flood, Zhao Muyun could take the opportunity to reorganize the troops in Weizhou City, break out of Weizhou in one fell swoop, and recapture Yunzhou.
As long as Yunzhou is recaptured, Shengzhou and Fengzhou will be no problem.
After all, King Zhelan only has a short time left in Yun, Sheng and Feng.
The Northern Di Chanyu also sent 10,000 cavalrymen from the Loufan King in the south of the desert into Weizhou. It would definitely be too late to send a large army to help the Zhelan King defend Yunzhou in a short period of time.
This is a great opportunity for Zhao Muyun to regain lost territory.
At present, Zhao Muyun's military achievements are soaring, and he is quite favored by Emperor Yongchang.
But there were also more people in the court who openly or secretly slandered and opposed him.
The recent rumors and the arrival of the Censorate to monitor are good proof of this.
If Zhao Muyun recaptured the three states of Yun, Sheng and Feng, this achievement would be enough to make his position in the Dayin army rock solid.
If it wasn't a serious crime like treason, Zhao Muyun would basically be sentenced to death and a new page in the family tree would be opened.
"drive!"
Following an order, 550 cavalrymen urged their horses on and galloped eastward through the muddy road.
Four or five miles behind the cavalry, an army of a thousand men was also marching quickly.
This is the Shuozhou New Army led by Tian Qing.
After the intense and repetitive training in Shuozhou, these new recruits were eager to go to the battlefield.
When these new recruits saw the Tartar corpses lying one after another on the roadside, and the conditions of their deaths were extremely gruesome, they finally felt what death was up close.
Some people with strong psychological endurance began to adapt slowly, and their eyes became increasingly cold and determined.
However, most of the recruits still cannot accept the scene of cold death.
Not daring to look directly into the empty eyes of the Death Tartars, the recruits' faces were filled with fear.
Some new recruits even vomited on the spot when they saw the pale faces of the Tartars.
Tian Qing neither despised nor reprimanded these soldiers.
Every soldier has gone through this.
"This is just an appetizer. Once we get to the city of Weizhou, there might be something even more tragic than what we're seeing now."
"Brothers, take it slow. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often."
Tian Qing spoke loudly to his group of new recruits on horseback with an air of seniority.
Back when they were at the beacon tower in Yanqingdun, Zhao Muyun and Wang Tiezhu came back carrying three bloody Tartar heads. Tian Qing smelled the blood and looked at the Tartars who died with their eyes open. He was so frightened that he almost vomited.
Instead of reprimanding them for their misconduct, the superiors gave them encouragement, which greatly encouraged those soldiers with poor psychological quality.
They tried hard to overcome their fear and physical discomfort, took a deep breath, and kept up with the team.
......
"kill!"
"rush!"
At this time, Weizhou City.
The soldiers of Dayin and the troops of King Zhelan fought in a group, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
It turned out that as the night faded and the day came, King Zhelan gradually saw the situation on the scene clearly.
Last night, a flood raged, and all four camps were flooded, resulting in heavy losses of food and supplies.
Fortunately, there were not many casualties.
Because there were soldiers and horses breaking out of Weizhou City at that time, King Zhelan sent troops to pursue them, which kept the entire camp awake.
When the flood came, his troops were evacuated in a timely and effective manner.
As day broke, the flood slowly receded, and King Zhelan hurriedly ordered the captains to gather their soldiers and take inventory of their troops.
Most of those who were missing or drowned were auxiliary troops, while the main combat force lost only 2,000 people, and there were still 5,000 combat-capable soldiers.
However, these soldiers were not in good condition.
Either they had no horses, or they lacked weapons, or they were soaked in water and shivering with cold.
King Zhelan thought that five thousand people had left Weizhou City last night, so there must not be many soldiers left in the city.
Since there was such a severe flood outside the city, the situation inside the city was naturally not much better.
