Alan starts hearing some strange noises.
Very strange, very strange sound...
It seemed to be the sound of water, but also seemed to be the sound of thunder.
"General Allen, there seems to be some strange noise..." Er frowned and said to Allen.
"Well...I heard it too..." Allen also frowned and responded.
Allen also noticed many armored holy cavalry behind him, and they all frowned at this time.
Allen murmured in his heart:
Have you all heard this strange sound? What is it? And the sound seems to be getting louder and louder!
The original feeling of disharmony in my heart has now turned into an ominous premonition.
As the strange sound got louder and louder, Allen realized that the strange sound was coming from behind him.
Allen subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.
When he turned his gaze to the back, Allen smelled a rush of moist water vapor mixed with a slight earthy smell.
Not only Allen turned back, Er and a large number of the armored holy cavalry who noticed something strange also turned back.
When everyone turned their attention to their backs, they saw a thick, huge white water column pouring out from the upper reaches of the Wei River!
I saw the white water column, accompanied by loud noises and splashing waves, rushing downstream along the waterway of the Wei River!
This huge column of water surged thousands of miles from the upper reaches of the Wei River and instantly washed away all the thousands of Carolingian troops who were crossing the river!
Some soldiers who had just landed on the west bank of the Wei River, and some soldiers on the east bank of the Wei River who were preparing to cross the Wei River, all looked pale at this time, wailing and using their hands and feet to keep themselves away from the Wei River.
.
If the soldiers who were just about to cross the river had been faster, they would have been like the thousands of soldiers who were submerged in the flood just now. They would have been washed away without even a chance to scream, and their bodies would not be left.
The same goes for the soldiers who just landed on the west bank. If they were slower, they would be like the thousands of soldiers crossing the river. They would be swept away by the flood before they had time to realize what was happening.
Walk.
Allen's eyes were widened, his mouth was slightly open, and his face was dull.
Looking at his widened eyes, one always feels as if the corners of his eyes will be torn apart in the next second.
It's not just Allen who looks like this.
Er, the armored holy cavalry, the soldiers of the Carolingian Kingdom who have landed on the west bank of the Wei River, and the soldiers of the Carolingian Kingdom who are still on the east bank of the Wei River, all look as round as Allen at this time.
His eyes were dull.
Not only their appearance, most of the people in the Britannia Imperial Army also had the same expressions as Allen and the others.
"Thousands of troops...just...gone..." Er murmured absently.
The Carolingian Army they brought totaled 80,000 people. In this short period of time, thousands of them were gone...
At this time, Allen finally recovered from his dazed state.
"Where did the water come from..." Alan murmured.
"Where did the water come from..." Allen's expression gradually became ferocious.
"Where did the water come from?!" Green veins popped out from Allen's temples.
No matter how stupid you are, you can figure out who is behind this sudden surge of water.
Allen yelled angrily:
"It's already winter now! It's already the dry season! Where did the Britannia Army get so much water from?"
Allen now felt a large amount of blood rushing to his head, making him dizzy, and he also felt a little tight in his chest, as if something was blocking his chest.
Allen yelled at himself in his mind:
Calm down! Calm down quickly!
However
"General Allen! Our thousands of troops..."
Erna's anxious voice came out at an inappropriate time.
"I know!!" Alan yelled, "Don't make any noise!!"
Allen's roar was so loud that Er'er's shoulders shrank in fright. At this time, Er also realized that now was not the time to disturb Allen with words, so he obediently shut his mouth and stopped uttering a word.
But Er'er still glanced anxiously at the surging Wei River.
Allen took a few deep breaths.
After taking several deep breaths, Allen felt that the tightness in his chest had eased a lot, his head was no longer so dizzy, and his whole person felt more relaxed.
As one of the strongest generals in the Frank Empire, Allen has already possessed the ability to calm down quickly after decades of fighting on the battlefield.
After just taking a few deep breaths, Allen regained his composure.
Allen began to think calmly about the current situation.
After thinking for a moment, Allen realized that his biggest crisis now was not that thousands of people were washed away by the flood.
His biggest crisis now is that the water level of the Wei River has risen!
Originally, the water level of the Wei River was very low, with the deepest point reaching a person's knees, so one could cross the Wei River directly by walking.
Because of this, Allen could safely let the 80,000-strong army cross the Wei River following the armored holy cavalry.
Anyway, the water level of the Wei River is low, so even if we encounter any problems on the west bank of the Wei River, we can easily retreat to the east bank of the Wei River.
But things are different now!!
A large amount of water from nowhere suddenly gushes out from the upper reaches of the Wei River, causing the current water level of the Wei River to rise greatly!
The water level of the Wei River is now so high that it is no longer possible to cross the river on foot.
And this high water level will not come down for a while.
In other words, the soldiers on the east bank of the Wei River now have no way to come up to the west bank of the Wei River, and the soldiers on the west bank of the Wei River have no way to retreat to the east bank.
The army was divided into two parts by the swollen Wei River!
And the most terrible thing is that the soldiers who have successfully crossed the river to the west bank of the Wei River, according to visual inspection, are only about 20,000.
In addition to the 3,400 armored holy cavalry, the total number of troops on the west bank of the Wei River is only 23,400.
At this time, along with these 23,400 people, there were nearly 90,000 Britannia troops on the west bank of the Wei River...
The more Allen thought about it, the more frightened he became, and strings of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Allen had already felt it at this time.
Now may be the most dangerous time in his life!
There are only 23,400 people left on our side and we have to face nearly 90,000 enemy troops.
And because of the current blockage of the Wei River, he has no way to retreat, and the more than 50,000 people on the east bank have no way to come to support.
...Alan's face gradually turned pale.
Er, who noticed that Allen was like him, originally wanted to ask Allen what was wrong, but when he thought that he might disturb Allen's thinking, he closed his slightly parted lips again.
However, Er's worries are actually unnecessary.
Because Allen can't think of any good strategies at this time to break the current deadlock!
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
The voice that Allen least wanted to hear and was also most afraid of hearing at this time came over!
One after another, the horn of charge came from the formation of the Britannia Imperial Army...
…
Su Cheng, who was driving his horse to stand on a tall stone, looked at the more than 20,000 enemy troops "left" on the west bank of the Wei River with a faint smile.
"I didn't expect it, Alan Jones..." Su Cheng muttered to himself, "Now is the dry season, and the amount of water in the river will decrease. This is true."
