Thousands of soldiers and horses from Tianyang Town swarmed in. At this time, Tie Mo also became a little troubled.
I didn't expect that Gao Yingxiang would react so quickly and be so courageous in his work. In order to dig the Heishui River, he almost went out of his way.
It's obviously too late to withdraw now, unless he throws away those supplies. Tie Mo will never be willing to leave like this, and he has to give it a fight no matter what.
"Sangouzi, where are our reinforcements?"
"According to the information we received before, General Li's headquarters should be more than fifty miles away from us."
The land of more than fifty miles is neither close nor far. The main force under Li Jiasheng's command is still cavalry. In other words, he does not need to fight hard, he only needs to delay time.
If you can drag it, drag it; if you can't drag it, run away.
He called Liu Guoneng over and whispered a few words. Liu Guoneng's eyelids rolled up and he was a little dazed, which made Tie Mo feel heartbroken and said, "Old Liu, why are you so dazed? Go ahead."
"You really want to do this? Can it be done?"
"Whether it works or not, I have to give it a try. Anyway, I don't believe that Gao Yingxiang is not afraid of death!"
Li Wanqing and Ruan Sangou were very curious, wondering what Tie Mo asked Liu Guo to do to make the other party so coquettish and weird.
.......
Ten miles west of the Blackwater River embankment, there is a slope called the ski slope.
As long as you cross the ski slope, you can quickly reach the Heishui River, but Gao Yingxiang suddenly ordered his troops to stop at the ski slope.
The ski slope in front of him was empty, but there was a flag fluttering in the wind, which looked so weird. After seeing what was on the flag clearly, Gao Yingxiang's eyelids jumped wildly.
There is a funny smiling face painted on the flag and a line of words below.
"Welcome King Chuang to the embankment, there is a surprise on the Blackwater River!"
A solitary flag blocked Gao Yingxiang's tens of thousands of troops. The less he could see the enemy, the more Gao Yingxiang grumbled.
"Report, King Chuang, my subordinates and brothers have searched around, but no one can be seen within a radius of five miles."
Gao Yingxiang was a little confused. He didn't even have an enemy. What was the opponent's intention of planting a flag here?
Niu Jinxing rode forward, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry King Chuang. It seems to be a trick of the officers and soldiers. We just need to reach the Blackwater River embankment as soon as possible, and everything will be revealed."
Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but frown, still a little puzzled. Is it really just a trick? If only it were that simple.
After stopping for a moment, the army crossed the ski slope. As they passed by, Gao Yingxiang asked his followers to grab the flag in their hands.
Before reaching the Blackwater River embankment, I heard bursts of sounds. It sounded like a wealthy family was getting married, and there were quite a few people playing music.
What the hell? Gao Yingxiang thought for a moment that he heard wrong.
As we got closer and closer to the Heishui River, the sound became clearer and clearer. Now Gao Yingxiang was sure that someone was really playing music.
Although the music is not very pleasant, it is really cheerful. Looking around, there are countless people standing on the embankment at the west end of the Blackwater River.
Those people were beating gongs and drums, looking very happy. As soon as they stopped, they heard a burst of shouting from the other side.
"Chuang Wang, Chuang Wang, come quickly, the rushing river is wonderful! Chuang Wang, Chuang Wang, come quickly, come quickly..."
Listening to the shouts one after another, Gao Yingxiang felt a little panicked for no reason. Are these officers and soldiers crazy? Are they beating gongs and drums to welcome King Gao Chuang?
Gao Yingxiang didn't feel that his name was so bluffing, and that this matter was a scam.
"Mr. Niu, should we wait first?"
Niu Jinxing immediately shook his head and said anxiously: "Chuang Wang, no, the other party first used a flag to confuse us, and then used this to scare people. It is obviously delaying time, we must not be fooled."
"According to Niu, the man leading the troops on the opposite side also knew that he couldn't stop us, so he came up with the strategy of suspecting soldiers to delay time. This strategy is similar to the empty city strategy. Unfortunately, he is not Zhuge Liang, and we are not Sima Yi."
"Since the opponent is stalling for time and reinforcements are expected to arrive in the future, we must not only attack, but also fight quickly!"
Gao Yingxiang nodded, agreeing with Niu Jinxing's judgment. Moreover, Gao Yingxiang always valued Niu Jinxing, and soon ordered a storm on the Blackwater River embankment.
The large number of thieves were like a vast ocean, and the few soldiers and horses under Tie Mo's command were like a lonely boat in the ocean, which could capsize at any time.
The drums sounded, the music became more intense, and everyone had a smile on their face. In short, the iron guard strictly ordered that no matter what, everyone must laugh and laugh out loud.
The music was mixed with weird laughter, and all the attacking thieves started muttering. Gao Yingxiang, who was in the rear, was helpless.
Seeing that they were about to fight, the opponent was not nervous at all, nor did they form a formation to meet the enemy. They were all beating drums, playing music and laughing loudly like crazy.
"Mr. Niu, what on earth is going on?"
The corners of Niu Jinxing's mouth twitched, and every pore on his face was clogged.
"It's strange, Niu has never heard of such a strange situation."
Just when Niu Jinxing and Gao Yingxiang were puzzled, Lei Ren ran over on horseback. Behind him, there was another man who was running with vomiting and diarrhea.
"King Gao Chuang, when we first investigated the situation, one of our brothers discovered that there was water flowing here from the south...and the water was increasing..."
"What?"
Gao Yingxiang and Niu Jinxing roared almost at the same time, especially Niu Jinxing, who stared and his hands trembled.
At this moment, many things that I couldn't figure out were suddenly solved.
"Welcome King Chuang to the embankment, there is a surprise on the Blackwater River!"
"King Chuang, King Chuang, come here quickly, the rushing river is wonderful!"
It turns out that the problem here is that the other party wants to dig the Blackwater River embankment.
After observing the location, we found that we were directly under the embankment. If the river water poured in, we would be the first to bear the brunt. Faced with the surging river water, tens of thousands of people, not to mention thousands, would suffer the same fate.
The thing is obvious, what Niu Jinxing can think of, Gao Yingxiang can also think of.
Looking at the officers and soldiers who were still beating gongs and drums, Gao Yingxiang swallowed hard.
"Madman, madman, hurry up... call the gold and withdraw the troops..."
Niu Jinxing was even more anxious, and slapped the ordering soldier next to him, "Why are you standing there in a daze? We haven't sent King Chuang's order yet, and everyone will retreat to the north immediately..."
After that, Niu Jinxing shook the reins of his horse and fled north with Gao Yingxiang.
They ran to a high slope thirty miles away before Gao Yingxiang and Niu Jinxing dared to stop. Turning over and dismounting, Gao Yingxiang pulled out his knife and chopped the grass in front of him unwillingly.
"Check, I want to know who that madman is?"
Gao Yingxiang really couldn't understand what the other party was doing. In order to save the embankment, you killed all my people. I brought people to find a place, but it would be better for you to dig the embankment directly.
In that case, why did you stop me from digging the embankment in the first place?
The Blackwater River burst its banks, drowning not only Gao's thousands of soldiers and horses, but also tens of thousands of elite officers and soldiers near Yangqu City.
Who else but a madman could do such a thing?
Soon, someone sent the information to Gao Yingxiang.
The person leading the troops on the opposite side was none other than Tie Mo, the Living King of Hell who had annihilated Yehuling in the first battle.
