Chapter 65 Fiasco

The sky was filled with dark clouds, and there was a unique autumn stuffiness in the air. It looked like it was going to rain.

Yun Banxian came out of the tent and looked at the horizon, grinning with a white beard. It seemed that the opportunity had arrived!

The Marquis of Ding'an looked at his silly and happy look, frowned and complained: "What's the fun in it raining?"

Yun Banxian smiled silently and was mysterious. You will know it soon! Soon.

At noon, the black clouds came in thickly. Looking at the sky, it was bound to rain heavily.

Heavy rain? Thinking of this, Marquis Ding'an called for his soldiers and ordered: "Go and see where the grain and grass are kept. It's going to rain. We must not let it get wet."

"Yes!" The soldiers took the order to take people to see it. They reinforced the top and surroundings of the tent again to prevent strong winds. They also made drainage at the top and waterproofed the surrounding area to ensure that the tent storing food would be safe in wind and rain.

The rain will fall as soon as you say it will!

The rain became heavier and heavier, washing away everything. After a while, puddles gathered on the ground. This rain was falling violently.

Fortunately, the tent was reinforced in advance, otherwise I would have been afraid that it would not be able to withstand the rain.

But the situation in Beiming Kingdom was not so easy.

Not long after grain and grass were brought in to fill the soon-to-be-empty granary, it started to rain.

The second prince also anticipated the rain and sent people to reinforce the tent.

Unfortunately, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and their location was right at the foot of the mountain. The rain kept falling, and the entire mountain was washed away in the rain curtain.

Boom——

"What sound?"

"I don't know, it seems to be coming from the other side of the mountain."

The soldiers on guard were talking loudly in the rain, unaware that danger was approaching them.

"Look! That's..."

"Go quickly! Tell the general, the flood is coming!"

The two men hurriedly ran to the main account of the military camp, shouting as they ran: "Flood! There is a flood!"

The rumbling sound behind me was getting closer and closer. The flood was so fierce that it could be faintly seen that it contained mud and broken tree branches.

The second prince heard the commotion outside, put down his pen, stood up and walked out.

At this moment, the general also ran out of the rain. He didn't bother to salute and said hurriedly: "General, it's bad, the flood is coming down from the mountain. We need to evacuate as soon as possible!"

Rumble——

The sound got louder and the flood got closer.

"Where's the food and grass?" the second prince asked.

"No, General, I will escort you to evacuate first. It's too late to take care of the food and grass!"

They all knew how fast the flood was, so they had to abandon everything and lead the army to evacuate quickly.

There was a flood behind them and the Luo Shen Kingdom army in front of them, but they had no other choice. In order to avoid the flood, they had to move forward again!

Luoshen Kingdom Military Camp.

"Report——"

"There was a flood on the mountain and washed away the Beiming Kingdom military camp!"

After hearing this, Marquis Ding'an turned to look at Yun Banxian, "Did you already know this?"

Yun Banxian raised his chin, extremely proud, "Well, I'll just wait and see, who knows, it will happen." Maybe he was lucky.

"Is this the opportunity you mentioned?"

Yun Banxian nodded, "Isn't that right? It always rains every year in this month. This is because there is a lake on the top of the mountain. When the rain is heavy and the lake is full, there will always be water."

"Then wouldn't we be washed away by the flood here?" Marquis Ding'an asked without thinking about it.

Yun Banxian shook his head, "He is a martial artist after all, and his brain is not very good!"

"You!" Marquis Ding'an would often get mad at this military advisor, but he could never get used to it.

"The terrain where our military camp is stationed is high and floods cannot reach it. Furthermore, when the flood comes, it will flow directly into the Luo River. At most, it will wash away some farmland and just repair it afterwards."

"Well, you Yun Banxian, you are really good at scheming!" Hou Ding'an now also wants to understand why he was asked to attack Beiming from time to time. Now it seems that he doesn't want them to move forward anymore, so he happened to be stationed at the foot of the mountain. Flood

As soon as he came, didn't he just hit his military camp!

What a perfect time and place!

"So next, you can send troops." Yun Banxian clicked on the sand table, and he avoided the flood in Beiming Kingdom. After calculating the time, he roughly arrived here.

Marquis Ding'an laughed for a while, "Send the order and follow me to send troops!"

He led his troops to the high ground, whereupon the Bei Ming army descended. As expected by Yun Banxian, they escaped from the flood and came to this semi-sloping area.

It is not as high as their location, but it is more than enough to avoid the flood. However, this location can be said to be the worst for fighting! There is nothing worse.

The entire army was exposed to the enemy.

Food and grass were swept away by floods.

Even the soldiers lost a lot and were washed away by the flood. They have suffered heavy losses now, and the words "defeat without a fight" are closer than that flood!

Looking at his position now, the second prince almost spit out a mouthful of blood again!

"Oh! Isn't this the Bei Ming Army? Why, are you so eager to seek death?" Ding'an Hou is well versed in the four words of murder and heartbreaking. If he doesn't use some cynicism at this time, he is not Ding'an Hou.

The second prince's face became even darker. If they had not escaped here, they might have died a long time ago! "Ding'an Marquis is joking, it's just a flood, so I'm just hiding here for a while. If you have the ability, will you come down too?"

The Marquis of Ding'an waved his hand to the archers, "There's no need to go down."

The bows and arrows were all aimed at them, and the whole army of the Beiming Kingdom could not escape.

Damn it! The second prince clenched his fists. There was nothing he could do about this situation.

The heavy rain is still falling.

The autumn rain is very cold.

In order to escape the flood, the soldiers didn't have time to eat the lunch meal, and now they were hungry and cold.

There were still arrows pointed at them, and some soldiers lost their mentality, put down their weapons, and knelt down to surrender.

If there was one, there would be a second, a third, and a fourth. Many soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered.

The second prince angrily shouted, "Rebels! Die!"

But no one listened to him. The rebels would die, but if they didn't surrender, they would end up dead. It was better to surrender and take a gamble.

It has been a law since ancient times not to kill those who surrender on the spot.

Some soldiers even said to the second prince: "General, let's surrender!"

"Surrender!"

The second prince's body is cold, and his heart is even colder. He has never suffered such humiliation as today!

"Surrender. If you withdraw your troops and promise not to invade again, I, the general, can take you home."

The temptation to go home is simply too great.

Only less than ten people surrendered before, but now most of them have put down their weapons.

The second prince also knew that they had been defeated, completely defeated.

Was it because the Luoshen Kingdom was in the right place at the right time? The second prince smiled bitterly. He was afraid that when the Luoshen Kingdom harassed them from time to time and attacked them, they would not be allowed to move forward, so they could station themselves at the foot of the mountain and wait for a rain...

The second time no one robbed food and grass, it was probably because there was no need to intercept it...

"Beiming Kingdom, surrender. I would like to agree not to invade Luoshen Kingdom again!" The second prince cried out sadly. He had no other choice.

"Okay!" Marquis Ding'an sent someone to hand over a piece of cloth with a rope.

The general handed it to the second prince, who picked it up and read it, and saw four large characters: Peace Convention.

(Beiming Kingdom voluntarily surrenders and will not invade again! Every year, it must pay tribute to Luoshen Kingdom of silver, cloth, and porcelain (you can give them as you see)... to express our determination to jointly maintain the stability of the people...)

"This is not fair!" The second prince couldn't believe what he saw. This was simply bullying them from Beiming Kingdom to rub on the ground!

"It's already fair. I just want you to watch. Otherwise, how about this?" Ding'an Hou waved his hand to the archers, swish! The archers drew their bows in unison.

The second prince had no choice but to sign his name with a dark face. The rope was pulled and the cloth was taken back.

"By the way," Marquis Ding'an looked at his signature and said slowly: "It's best to check on your brother's death and check on your own people. Oh, what if, one day, it's your turn?"

"All officers and men listen to the order! Let us go!" Marquis Ding'an kept his word, and all the officers and men also took back their weapons and stood by where they were.

The rain became less intense and the floodwaters slowly receded.

The second prince took the rest of the army and retreated to Beiming Kingdom. He kept thinking about what Marquis Ding'an said, check his own people? What do you mean? Didn't the emperor's brother, they said, be killed by people from Luoshen Kingdom?

?

The more he thought about it, the colder his heart became.

This war ended in a disastrous defeat for the Beiming Kingdom.

Lost to the flood.
