It's unclear who exclaimed, but the Xiongnu people scattered like a hornet's nest.
They ignored the orders of the officers, such as the centurion and the commander of the thousand, and ran off to either side.
Even the officers of the Xiongnu took off and fled for their lives.
Soldiers could not see their generals, and generals could not find their soldiers. The Xiongnu were in complete chaos, and their organization was destroyed in an instant.
For the Xiongnu people who had lived on the grasslands for many years, this was the first time they had ever seen such a terrifying flood.
"Divine retribution! It's divine retribution!"
"Could this be the Eternal Heaven's punishment for us?"
"Could it be that this Han prince is protected by the gods, and that our attack on him has angered them?"
Once the floodwaters reached the front peak, they followed closely behind, surging endlessly.
Before long, the basin surrounding Shanwu City was flooded to waist-deep.
People were packed together, people were trampling on each other.
Their escape speed was nowhere near the speed of the raging flood.
The floodwaters went up to my waist, then my chest, then my shoulders, and then stopped above my head.
Many Xiongnu people danced and thrashed in the water for a while, then became floating corpses, drifting with the current.
The floodwaters continued to advance, reaching the Xiongnu's encampment area.
Before long, countless Hun tents floated on the water, and countless cattle and sheep struggled in the water.
Meanwhile, forty to fifty thousand Xiongnu people, amidst the vast expanse of water, fled in all directions like snakes and rats, abandoning their armor and weapons.
Many cavalrymen on horseback were whipping their horses desperately.
Some Hunnic knights, with their amazing horsemanship, could stand up on their horses.
However, it was of no use, as the floodwaters quickly engulfed the horses.
At this moment, Shanwu City was like an isolated island amidst the raging flood.
However, the soldiers and civilians in the city were very safe.
The city wall of Shanwu was two zhang high, and the city gate was tightly blocked, so no floodwaters entered.
The soldiers of the Great Wall Legion on the city wall were focused on killing the Xiongnu who were climbing up.
The ladders along the city walls were densely packed with Xiongnu soldiers.
They are born with a fear of water, and when they see the rising floodwaters, they scream in agony.
Ultimately, the ladder couldn't bear so many people and broke.
The Xiongnu soldiers on the ladder fell into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot, swallowing mouthfuls of the murky floodwater, and then floated on the surface.
Such scenes play out all the time in this Shanwu Basin, which spans thirty square kilometers.
The Xiongnu disappeared rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
An hour ago, the area outside Shanwu City was teeming with people, but now it is deserted, with only murky floodwaters remaining.
Zhang Liao stared in disbelief, looking at Liu Wei on the city wall with awe.
One by one, the fair-skinned, pampered Han princes annihilated fifty to sixty thousand Xiongnu soldiers with a few words.
How did this prince come to be, given such a massive flood?
However, such methods had already won over Zhang Liao.
He had secretly resolved that after rescuing Ding Yuan and repaying his kindness, he would wholeheartedly serve under Liu Wei.
This prince, who shouted the resounding slogan of expelling the Xiongnu and recovering the four commanderies, was on a completely different level from the officials of the court and Bingzhou who allowed the Xiongnu to run rampant!
Guo Luo, Yang Yi, and the other guards witnessed this scene and were so shocked that they were almost numb.
Their lord, whom they swore to protect with their lives, suddenly became incredibly successful after leaving Yanmen Pass, surprising everyone one after another.
A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it transforms into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds.
As long as you follow your lord closely from now on, you will surely rise to prominence.
Needless to say, Liu Du looked at Liu Wei with eyes full of piety.
The three thousand Xianbei soldiers and three thousand Xiongnu soldiers had never seen such a scene before, and they all knelt on the ground, shouting to the gods.
now.
Qiangqu and his subordinates sensed something was wrong the moment they saw the flood approaching.
They immediately fled in disarray to the high ground north of the Qingshui River Valley.
They finally managed to escape to a high place before they stopped.
Looking around, he saw only a few dozen subordinate officials, including Guduhou and Qiequ, and less than two thousand guards.
The remaining commanders of the ten thousand cavalry were nowhere to be found.
Seeing the countless Xiongnu soldiers struggling desperately in the floodwaters, Qiangqu's face turned red, his eyes blazing, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, roaring:
"Liu Wei, you little brat, I swear I'll tear you to pieces!"
These floodwaters were filled with living, strong young men of the Xiongnu.
Of the forty or fifty thousand able-bodied Xiongnu men, it's unknown how many will survive.
This time when Meiji returns, I estimate that every household will be wearing mourning clothes.
From then on, their vitality was severely damaged. Not to mention going to Bingzhou to plunder in the future, even whether they could stay in the four prefectures of Yunzhong depended on the prince's mood!
However, the roar of the Qiangqu was drowned out by the roar of the raging flood and the cries of countless Xiongnu people.
After Qiangqu shouted, he felt a dizziness in his chest, his vision went black, his blood rushed to his head, and he fell straight off his horse!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Qiangqu's eyes were tightly closed, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't hear anything!
When he fell off his horse, he hit a rock and bled profusely.
The valley and highlands downstream of the Qingshui River were the only route the Xiongnu people could take back to Meiji.
Xue Rengui led four thousand cavalrymen on a frenzied march, killing everything in their path, and arrived here before the floodwaters rushed out of the valley.
He was followed by five thousand cavalrymen led by the Left Wise King Huchuquan.
When a rumble of thunder came from the east, Xue Rengui stopped, turned his horse around, and, holding his halberd, ordered his four thousand cavalry to form a battle array.
Hu Chuquan also heard the loud noise behind him and involuntarily reined in his horse to look back.
