Chapter 1582: I fell a big somersault

It was another morning with a rainy spring. When Suqian walked out of the tent on the dam, his body was so wet that it was extremely uncomfortable. Even though it seemed dryer than other places on the river bank, the pervasive and moist air still made everything look wet.

The soldiers were eating, and the branches used to burn the fire were very wet. The entire position was filled with smoke. When the wind blew, it immediately mixed with the mist on the river surface, making the river surface even more hazy.

Jiang Shangyan walked over with mud that was not over her ankle and frowned, saying, "This damn rain is always coming down. The fodder transported this morning was soaked in rainwater and had to be dried before it could be eaten by the horse."

"This is how it is. There is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not as good as the north." Suqian looked at the Chu army camp, which was also filled with smoke in the distance, "Sun Runze's troops should have been almost exhausted these days. I guess there are at most 3,000 soldiers who can fight in his village. If he dares to charge at me, I don't mind just launching a counterattack today."

"Prepare to attack his village? I'm afraid it's not easy to fight." Jiang Shangyan said.

"If he had five thousand people to guard the village, I would only be disappointed. If he had only three thousand people to guard the village, I could break him, but if he was less than the number of three thousand, then victory would be mine." Suqian said.

"The ground is too bad, and the thunder fire is too difficult to move over. If there is any accident, it will not be able to retreat. Such a broken weather and such a broken environment are better than a stake in Yuan Shuichi." Jiang Shangyan said.

"How many days will it take for the big army to come up?"

"It was originally four days. In such a weather, it would take five or six days to see if it could be reached?" Jiang Shangyan said. "Canglang and Ruijin are both infantrymen and have a lot of equipment. The speed of forwarding in such mud land will be greatly reduced, not to mention the miner's camp. In such weather, they will learn to climb to the turtle. In this way, His Majesty's personal guard camp can quickly rise up, but how can he let His Majesty break out alone?"

"Sun Runze has been dressed like this. The Chu army has not yet come. This is a bit strange. I plan to send the scouts away today to inquire. He has no threat to you at all. I don't need me to protect your left and right wings." Jiang Shangyan said, "I always feel a little uneasy. Isn't Sun Chenglong afraid that we will kill his son?"

"I had already received information from the Eagle Nest spies yesterday. The reinforcements sent by Sun Chenglong had already set off. However, due to the weather, their pace of progress was quite slow. God is fair. When we are suffering, we will not make the other party feel better."

"How many people have come?"

"you guess?"

"Guess, just say it."

"A total of 50,000 yuan was making a big net outside and slowly surrounding us. Damn, if I hadn't been worried that the enemy reinforcements would launch a counterattack at any time, I would have rushed up and killed Sun Runze. Sun Chenglong's heart was also cruel enough, and he would have tried his best to fight our lives with us and then find a way to eat us in one bite." Suqian said.

"Fifty thousand people!" Jiang Shangyan's face changed slightly. For him, the battlefield now is too small.

"Want to jump out to fight?" Suqian heard the sings and knew the meaning of elegance. "Xiangzhou is not Xingzhou. There are tens of thousands of fire phoenix troops stationed here. More importantly, everyone here is soldiers. If you jump out, you will naturally gain the opportunity to fight freely and the right to choose the battlefield freely, but you will also fall into a situation where enemies everywhere and traps everywhere."

"I can't use it here."

"Should you wait for two more days and you will go when the weather improves." Suqian said. "This kind of weather and road conditions will cause too much loss to horsepower. Once you are entangled by the enemy, you will be in great trouble."

"I think so too." Jiang Shangyan nodded, and was about to say something else, but suddenly stopped. Suddenly, he turned around and looked upstream of Gaoliang River, "What voice? Have you heard it?"

The rumbling sound seemed so clear in a flash. A black line appeared in the field of vision of the two, and their faces turned pale in an instant.

Under the levee, there were many Ming soldiers, more of them transported materials and weapons from across the river. On more than a dozen treks, the civilians coming and going were still carrying them like ants moving here.

The huge roar from Gaoliang River shocked everyone. On the embankment, the Ming soldiers who were eating stood up one after another. Many people's bowls fell into the mud without any sense. The soldiers on the river beach shouted, spread their legs and ran towards the embankment. On the trestle, the civilians carrying things also shouted in fear and threw away the things on their shoulders and ran towards the shore desperately.

The surging waves wrapped around countless giant trees, roaring down with a terrifying momentum. After only one look, Su Qian closed his eyes in pain. He could not save any of his dozens of trestles.

The flood swept over, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen treks above the river were swept away. The civilians on the bridge who had not had time to escape instantly disappeared into the huge waves, and even a bubble had not been turned up. Countless materials and weapons on the river beach were washed away by the surging water.

"Where did they build a dam and store water?" Su Qian suddenly opened his eyes and roared angrily.

"The tributary must be a tributary that did not attract our attention!" Jiang Shangyan's face turned pale.

The two looked at each other, and Suqian suddenly said, "Jiang Shangyan, how many cavalry do you have on the other side?"

"Five hundred people!" Jiang Shangyan breathed heavily, "Their main task was to guard the horses and supplies in the camp."

"I am on the other side and only 3,000 wounded soldiers." Suqian said: "Fortune is not the same, but misfortune is not the same. Since the enemy can build a dam upstream without knowing it, he will definitely send another team of people to attack our camp in Jiangnan. You have to go immediately, go upstream, and find the place where the other party crosses the river."

"Sun Chenglong's 50,000 reinforcements were originally here to destroy us, not to support Sun Runze. Suqian, I am afraid that I will not have much hope of rushing out." Jiang Shangyan tightened the hilt.

"It's your business to rush out." Suqian said: "Even if you only rush out part of it, you can destroy the enemy's tools to cross the river. If we can't go back, they won't think of crossing the river. In a few days, His Majesty's army will come up. At this time, we are trapped here together, and you might as well jump out. Even if it's just as difficult outside, it's much better than being in a difficult place." Suqian said this and sighed a long time ago: "I was deceived by Sun Runze. If I were not worried about too much loss and pounced on him and took him down at all costs, our situation would be much better now."

"Okay, I will rush out hard. Even if I can't rush out, I will try my best to do my best in this circle and give you more space." Jiang Shangyan said.

Suqian reached out and held a heavy hand with Jiang Shangyan, "This time we both fell into trouble. We have the fate to survive. Let's go to the emperor to apologize."

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs." Jiang Shangyan smiled: "As long as he does not die, he will have a chance to make a comeback. Listen, as you expected, the enemy has crossed the river and launched an attack on our old camp."

The violent river water on Gaoliang River came and went quickly. After a storm, the water faded away, leaving only a mess all over the ground. On the other side, a huge cavalry team rushed towards the old camp of the Ming army under the guidance of the bright fire phoenix flag.

Jiang Shangyan clenched his fists tightly and looked at the five hundred cavalrymen in his cavalry camp who drove Dabi out of the horse and rushed towards the enemy who was like wolves and tigers. Behind them, the infantrymen in Suqian were starting to set up their formation.

These five hundred cavalrymen were preparing to use their lives to gain more preparation time for these infantry.

Five hundred cavalry and tens of thousands of horses were instantly hesitated with the tens of thousands of fire phoenix cavalry that were raiding. The sound of the collision of swords and guns, shouts, and neighing of war horses can be clearly heard through Gaoliang River.

Jiang Shangyan closed her eyes slightly, then turned around and strode towards the dike, no longer watching the moths on the other side rushing towards the enemy's subordinates like moths flying to the flames, because their life and death were already destined the moment they decided to launch a charge.

"Good man!" Suqian waved his hand heavily and punched in the air: "Tell us to our troops on the other side to burn all military rations and leave no food for the enemy."

Guo Yi looked at the hundreds of Ming army cavalry who rushed up fearlessly, and then looked at the thick smoke and fire that suddenly rose from the Ming army camp not far away, and the corners of his eyes shrank slightly.

The enemy is trying to fight to the death with themselves. The imagined scene of the enemy disintegration did not appear at all. Even though they were only hundreds of cavalry and only some old and weak soldiers left, they were still preparing for the battle.

Such an army was the one he was most reluctant to encounter. It was really ironic. Whether it was the Western Army led by Suqian or the cavalry led by Jiang Shangyan, not long ago, they were all part of the Chu army's troops and the upstart in the Chu army's extremely combative border system. But now, both sides have become enemies that will never stop.

As soon as he thought about this, Guo Yi felt that things in the world were too absurd and shouldn't have been like this. These people should have been in the same trench as him.

The sound of a powerful crossbow breaking through the air pulled back his thoughts. The five hundred cavalry and countless horses only made his cavalry slightly stumble. In comparison, the Ming army infantry positions in front would bring him more casualties.

"Kill!" He raised his spear and roared angrily.
