Chapter 584: The Border of the Lotus Water
"General, the Wei army is here!"
On the border between Wei and Zhongshan, a scout rode his horse and passed the news of the Wei army to his comrades.
Looking in the direction of the scout, the red military flags in the eyes of the generals of Zhongshan Army gradually became clear.
The blazing anger kept burning in my heart, and the scene of the former comrade's death in battle continued to appear before the Zhongshan Army general.
The teeth were bitten tightly and the left hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the Zhongshan general's eyes turned closer.
Accompanied by the sound of surging flowing water, a rushing river rolled westward from him.
Huaishui, the boundary river between Wei and Zhongshan, will become his weapon to stop the Wei army from continuing north today.
Recalling the orders of the chief general Sima Xi a few days ago, a touch of joy appeared on his face.
"Comrades, I've avenged you."
He said in his heart, and looked at the approaching Red Tide not far away, and his cold eyes looked at the soldiers under his command.
"dig!"
"kill……"
But what the general of the Zhongshan Army did not expect was that just when his order was issued and his soldiers were not in time to execute it, a sound of yelling to kill came from behind them.
"What happened?"
"Report that the Wei army appeared in the rear of our army."
"Report that the Wei army's offensive is fierce, and our army is really unstoppable."
"Report..."
The bad news that came one after another made the Zhongshan Army general who was sure to win was at a loss for a moment.
However, after a long battle formation, he only experienced a brief panic and soon realized the key point.
Dig the embankment!
Only after opening the dam, he completed the task assigned to him by Sima Xi.
Only when the embankment was dug, the surging Huai River would turn into a powerful weapon, which would cause severe damage to the Wei army without any effort.
Only when the embankment is dug and the enemy is in the face of urgent situations can the Zhongshan Kingdom win the most critical opportunity to breathe.
Accompanied by a crisp sound of swords, a long sword flashing with cold light appeared in the hands of the Zhongshan Army general.
"Where is the personal guard? Let me go..."
With the front finger of the long sword, the generals of the Zhongshan Army led their personal guards to the battlefield, and tried their best to buy time for the key to turning the situation around.
Unfortunately, how could the Wei army get them to their wish?
Long Jia, the chief general of the Wei army, had secretly sent several elite troops to secretly cross Huaishui from the upstream in advance.
He did not forget that the Zhongshan Army had dug up the locust water, causing the former Zhao army to fall into a big fall on the bank of this locust water.
Now that the pursuers are coming, how can the Zhongshan Army not use the same trick again and use water as its soldiers again?
The scenes that are staged on the banks of Huaishui now clearly prove that Long Jia’s previous arrangements were indeed the first opportunity to predict the enemy.
The Wei army pioneers who had crossed Huaishui in advance were shattering the hope of the Zhongshan army bit by bit.
"kill……"
The shouts of killing sounded on the banks of Huaishui. The general of the Zhongshan Army took the lead and rushed into the Wei army formation with a long sword in his hand.
But before there was enough time to chop a few times, a spear with a cold light came to him like a poisonous snake.
"ah……"
A fierce battle on the banks of Huaishui ended with the disastrous defeat of the Zhongshan army.
Although he tried his best, he failed to stop the Wei army's troops. He dug out Huai Shui and used water as his soldiers to fail.
When the battle on the banks of Huaishui gradually ended and after confirming that there was no threat ahead, the chief general of the Wei army, Long Jia, led his soldiers to calmly cross Huaishui.
The Wei army, who successfully passed by Huaishui, did not stop their own steps. Taking advantage of the momentum of winning, the Jiancheng Zhenyi, north of Huaishui, was soon taken into account by them.
"General, the main force of the Zhongshan Army has already gone north. Is our army..."
Standing on the city wall of the city, the Wei army commander Long Jia stood silently, looking at the rolling locust water in the distance.
The deputy general beside him stood solemnly and reported to him their target and the movements of the main force of the Zhongshan Army.
“No need.”
"The army has been working day and night all the way, and the soldiers dare not relax at all. Now that they have successfully crossed Huaishui and captured the Zhenyi, it is time to take some rest."
Retracting his eyes from the distant Huaishui, Long Jia immediately ordered: "The army rests in the country for three days."
"Here."
After the deputy general bowed and took the order and left, Long Jia looked at the distance again.
"As for the main force of the Zhongshan Army, it is no longer the main target of our army at this moment, and there is no need to chase it so tightly."
Shortly after the Wei army successfully captured the Zhenyi, Juyang City, a hundred miles away from the Zhenyi, soon learned the news.
"General, our army failed to stop the Wei army from the south of Huaishui. They have successfully advanced north and captured the Zhenyi."
“Has failed?”
After hearing this failed battle report, Sima Xi, the head general of Zhongshan Army, just smiled bitterly.
It’s because over the past few days, too much bad news has sounded in his ears.
"After capturing Zhenyi, will the Wei army continue to go north..."
"No." The deputy general's next report made Sima Xi breathe a light sigh, "The Wei army is resting in the country and does not seem to have plans to continue pursuing our army."
"God helps me."
After taking two steps at a time, Sima Xi came to the map with a sharp look, "Fifty miles north of Juyang, it will be my important town in Zhongshan."
"The next step for our army will be to restorate the military preparations in Dongyuan for a short time, replenish food and supplies, and then go north along the Hutuo River to relieve the danger of Lingshou."
"As for the upcoming Wei army..."
The two evils are the least.
In terms of the degree of danger, the Wei army was far superior to the Zhao army who had just joined the battlefield in terms of combat power or military strength.
However, the Zhao army came to the capital of the country and directly threatened the key points of Zhongshan. This forced Sima Xi to leave everything behind and rush to Lingshou as quickly as possible.
Only after the imminent danger of spiritual life could Zhongshan Kingdom free up his hands to deal with the fierce Wei army.
"Don't worry, General, I will go and pass the order immediately."
When the hurried footsteps disappeared in my ears, Sima Xi's eyes fell on the map again, and did not move away after a long time.
Afterwards, at the order of Sima Xi, the main force of the Zhongshan Army continued to head north and rushed to Dongyuan City, an important city in Zhongshan.
As for the troops of Long Jia, the Wei army, who had been chasing each other, they were calmly rushing north to attack the cities of Zhongshan Kingdom.
When the city of Zhongshan Kingdom, Yuanshi, Luancheng and other Zhongshan Kingdom were planted with red Wei flags, a piece of news came from the Turin Shou City of Zhongshan Kingdom in the north.
Sima Xijun, who was following the Hutuo River, successfully arrived at Lingshou. The main force returned to the rescue, and the original defenders in the city had nearly 60,000 Zhongshan troops, and they confronted 30,000 Zhao troops in Lingshou City.
