Chapter 304: Secret Attack

Fortunately, He Lingchuan showed his toughness this time, and fought steadily, and finally caught the opponent's weakness and won the victory.

He Lingchuan saw raindrops like a curtain just after he opened the door of the tent, and he couldn't even see the people and horses three feet away.

This visibility is almost as good as thick fog.

If he stretched out his hand for a few seconds, he could get a lot of rain water to wash his face.

He poured some cold water on his face, thinking about what kind of magic he should exchange for next time after saving up military merits. Every actual combat accumulates valuable experience, and now he feels that he lacks a high-burst martial art.

Next time, he should use the mirror technique.

The Yuan army camp retreated more than a hundred feet and simply stationed on hard rock ground, which had no risk of collapse and was more than two feet higher than the river surface.

But the price was that there were more snakes, rats and other small animals, and people were bitten many times.

Zhao Pan and He Chunhua did not relax their vigilance, especially the two of them were wary of Hong Chenglue's revenge, and their requirements for camp defense were getting higher and higher.

The Yuan soldiers did not understand and secretly complained.

After three or five breaths out of the tent, the whole body is soaked; the ground is full of yellow mud and water, either shoes or crotches are dirty. At this time, the whole camp should rest, why does General Zhao want everyone to defend it?

The enemies are on the other side, can they cross the river and attack in this kind of weather?

Encountering continuous heavy rains, He Chunhua's team was also trapped in the camp and could not return south. He stayed on the front line longer than expected.

This is also one of the sources of his uneasiness.

Delay will change.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and it was getting dark quickly, and it didn't even need to be sunset.

The last bit of light between heaven and earth disappeared impatiently, and the entire Yuan Army camp was caught in a big net woven by heavy rain and darkness.

In such bad weather, the guards had to continue patrolling.

The torches they held were soaked in special oil, which could burn and illuminate even on rainy days.

Although he was wearing a raincoat, his clothes and shoes were still soaked, sticky and wet, especially after the shoes were soaked with water, they squeaked when he walked.

"What a horrible weather!" The new sentry patrolled the river bank with a torch, wiped the rain in his eyes with his hand, and cursed secretly.

The original camping site is now under the river. The river bank has collapsed several times, and the current shoreline has shrunk nearly 100 feet to the south, but they still walked carefully.

The day before yesterday, an unlucky companion had a landslide under his feet, fell into the river, and was washed away in a blink of an eye.

So this sentry just walked along the shore perfunctorily, three feet away from the water.

In this kind of weather, it is impossible for the enemy to lie on the shore. If it weren't for General Zhao's insistence, no one would be willing to go close to the river.

Nothing unusual, he walked back.

This has been the case every night for so many days.

An hour later, the sentry patrolled again.

This is the second round. Tonight, as long as he completes three rounds, someone will come to take over.

He still looked around carelessly, but before returning, he felt something was wrong.

He was too lazy to move at first, but after a psychological struggle, he reluctantly walked back to the shore and raised the torch.

The heavy rain continued, and the Han River became violent. Every time he came here, he could hear the sound of waves hitting the shore, which was as loud as thunder.

But why was there no sound tonight?

He only heard the sound of rain.

The sentry moved carefully to the shore and shone the torch down -

Strange, where is the water?

There was no water ten feet below the river bank, and he saw muddy sand at the bottom.

The torch stretched further forward, but he still did not see the river water within the range illuminated by the fire.

What's going on? When he first came here for patrol, the waves were still hitting the shore soil.

The river water is flowing back?

By the way, there seems to be something moving in the darkness at the edge of the fire?

He was looking around when four or five arrows whizzed up from below, most of which missed, but only one pierced his eye.

The sentry fell backwards.

The archers below had no Yuanli and could not aim accurately, so they shot multiple times at a time to increase the probability.

The sentry had Yuanli, so even if he was hit by an arrow, it would not be too serious, but he was also unlucky. An arrow happened to hit his eye, which was a vital blow.

When he fell, the torch also fell, and the flickering fire alarmed two companions not far away. The latter ran closer and blew a quick whistle when they saw the bright arrows on his body.

Enemy attack!

Almost at the same time, a thunderous shout rang out from below the river bank, which temporarily suppressed the rainstorm:

"Charge——"

"General Nian will win!"

It seemed that something was stirring in the darkness and attacking the high ground.

After a while, countless flickering flames lit up below the river bank, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into streams of fire that cut through the sky--

Then they fell on the tents, carriages, and fences of the Yuanbei camp!

Although the heavy rains for several days soaked the weapons and tarpaulins, the arrows were coated with special oil, so they could still burn in rainy days. At the same time, the north wind helped to fuel the fire, so the Yuan people's camp was still on fire.

Zhao Pan and He Chunhua both woke up from their dreams and rushed out of the tent to see that the fire arrows were flying from above, shooting everywhere without any eyes.

"My lord, be careful!"

The guards surrounded him.

Zhao Pan picked up the bow and pulled out the fire arrows stuck on the tent pillar. He ignored the guards' obstruction and rushed forward a hundred steps before bending the bow and shooting high, aiming at the river surface in front of him.

With his arm strength and the help of his Yuan power, he could shoot more than three hundred steps away even in the north wind.

The Yuan people saw the arrows flying high into the sky and falling with fire, thus illuminating the river bank...

The dense army!

The team had bright armor and almost occupied the entire river beach. At this time, they rushed here with shouts of killing.

Xunzhou soldiers!

Zhao Pan felt a chill on his back and sweat on his forehead:

Why could Nian Zanli's troops cross the river safely and sneak to the south bank to attack?

"Set up the formation! Beat the drums and raise the flags!" No matter what he thought in his heart, his years of combat experience still allowed him to give orders fluently, "Supervisory team, go!"

When the army sets up camp, they will bury the defensive battle formation, but the operation of the formation consumes a lot of black crystals, so it is usually not opened. Zhao Pan has a magician who is responsible for this, and he will open the formation as soon as he hears the sound.

As for beating the drums to march, it is an impression deeply rooted in the minds of the soldiers. The sound of the drums means that the superiors are prepared and the team is going to fight back. The soldiers are not so panicked. They can gather courage and turn around to fight.

After all, they were caught off guard by the Xunzhou people. Once the team was defeated, no matter how strong the individual combat power is, it can't save the defeat.

The supervisory team galloped back and forth, killing more than a dozen fleeing soldiers in a row, barely stopping the trend of further fleeing.

However, at this time, there were continuous cannon fires below the river bank, and seven or eight fire bombs whizzed in and exploded everywhere in the camp.

The Xunzhou army actually covered the cannons with oilcloth and transported them across the river, and there were as many as twelve!

This thing is delicate, and it is easy to misfire when wet, and it is easy to hurt its own people. Nian Zanli put an expensive water-repellent talisman on each cannon, with good intentions.

And he ordered the installation of sub-cannons, and the shells will continue to explode after landing, blowing out dozens of small lead balls inside.

With the blessing of speed, these are all killing weapons.

Every time there is an explosion, dozens of people and horses fall around. The horses were frightened and crazy, breaking out of the stables and running around.

At this time, the Yuan army also discovered that the Xunzhou people had not yet completely landed, and at least thousands of people were driving boats to land, and the vanguard of the large army was already rushing forward.

The strange thing is that the river water actually retreated, and the water level dropped significantly. The riverside is more than 40 feet away from the current Yuanying, and the river surface is quite flat.

It cannot be compared with the calmness of autumn, but anyone who can swim should have no problem jumping in and swimming.

It can be said that the river suddenly lost its surging sound.

What is going on?

The exposed riverbed became the landing point for the Xun people.

He Lingchuan was not idle here either, and he found a mount as soon as possible. The Qingbo horse has the blood of monsters, and is not as easily frightened as ordinary horses. At this time, it can come to him.

The medicine ape shrank into He Lingchuan's arms, and the rock wolf climbed up and shook its fur, and followed him.

Shan Youjun and seven or eight others also followed and shouted: "Boss! What should we do now?"

He Lingchuan faced two choices, either rush to He Chunhua, in the name of protecting his father; or stay here and beat the enemy.

He thought for only a second before saying to Shan Youjun, "Archers, go up the tree, and send someone to find me a way out."

"Yes!" Shan Youjun understood that his group of people had to stay to defend against the enemy, otherwise they could retreat to the vicinity of the main camp now, so why bother looking for a way out. But he still had to remind him, "Boss, your prediction of a bad fortune..."

He had heard Mao Tao say that the boss had drawn a bad fortune in Xianling Village.

He Lingchuan was startled.

The enemy quietly crossed the river and came prepared, but the Yuan people were ambushed in their sleep and could not respond in time. As it stands now, the enemy is strong and we are weak.

In the face of the general situation, their team of less than ten people has limited strength, and he himself must be very cautious.

The old turtle monster's prediction has not come true. Will it come true at this time?

He Lingchuan immediately remembered the word "brave" that Wen Daolun interpreted for him in Panlong's dream, and the sentence he made up to make fun of him:

Run when you meet water.

In front of him, the water of the Handan River flows endlessly.

Perhaps this is a clear hint. After all, when the previous crises came, there was no "water" anywhere, and he did survive safely.

Should I escape now?

He Lingchuan looked back at the chaotic military camp, and then at the enemy figures under the river bank, which were getting closer and closer. His own side was in great danger, so was he going to retreat in fear of the battle?

He said decisively: "Don't worry about it. Let's retreat halfway up the slope and put the tripwire."

The group immediately retreated and went to the side of the high ground.

The enemies below surged up like a tide. If these few people dared to stand in front, they would eventually fall down.

Squad combat requires tactics.

What's worse is that the original south bank of the Han River was specially raised and steepened by the Yuan Kingdom Army, and built into the so-called "bank wall", leaving only a few narrow passages for going up and down. This kind of fortification can resist the enemies coming from the other side.

However, the surging river water in recent days has long washed away the bank wall, and even the Yuan Army was forced to retreat. Now they are only stationed on ordinary high ground. Where is the danger to defend?
