Emperor's Century

Chapter 798 The Battle of Huaishui

After saying goodbye to Sanyi, Shaoqiu and others, Shi Wenming immediately rushed back to the temple. After the name of "Da Yu", the temple has been changed to Emperor Yan's Palace to show the status of the regent. As soon as he entered the palace gate, Xia Yan hurriedly greeted him and whispered, "Young master, that man has been waiting for a long time."

Mi Wenming looked around: "No one saw him when he came, right?"

"No." Xia Yan shook his head and said, "I brought him in in person and let him wear my own guard's clothes."

"Good!" Mi Wenming said, "This person is extremely important. Don't let anyone know. The future of our Xia tribe falls on this person.

The two put a seal around them, talked all the way, and quickly entered a secret room deep in the Yandi Palace. Xia Yu hesitated for a moment: "Shaoqiu, do you want me to go in and protect you? This person is extremely dangerous."

Ni Wenming shook his head: "Uncle, don't worry, his future will also fall on me, so that it will not be a threat to me."

Xia Yan nodded, opened the thick stone door, and ordered to dodged in. Xia Yan closed the stone door, carried his hands on his back, and guarded the door.

The stone interior is furnished with simple furnishings. Only a stone tripod in the middle is burning with a blazing flame, bringing a little light. There is nothing else. Just next to the tripod, a man wore a cloak and was covered from head to face, like a ghost. Seeing Sicin came in, the man smiled and said, "It's not easy to come here. You even cover your face. If you want to see the famous Nanjiao City, you can't see it."

Six Wenming smiled and said, "I'm offended, I'm offended. You also know how valuable you are now. If you are found out, it will be a loss.

The man said "Oh": "It seems that what Dayu is looking for is not small!" In this way, do you want to include the Sanmiao people?

Shi Wenming said quietly, "Isn't Yun Shimu's appetite not small? With such a mouth, I will go to the whole Central Hebei Plain. If I don't open my territory, how can I satisfy your appetite?

The man laughed and stretched out his hand to pull off his cloak, but it was cold.

"We have reached an agreement. After eliminating the gods and Rongdi people, the original of Zhongji is naturally yours." Mi Wenming said in a hurry, "It's a change of plan for you to come this time."

Han Yu frowned: "Is there a change? Is it a good change or a bad change?

Ni Wenming hesitated for a moment: "Generally speaking, it is a good change, and it is more certain to eliminate the gods. But the timing is even more difficult to grasp. With that, he talked about Sanyi's plan.

Han Yu is a little strange: "This is a good thing! It would be easier if we took advantage of the moment of the division of the gods and sealed it with Fuxi tortoise shell.

"It's easy, but your original is gone." I was so cold.

Han Yu immediately changed his face and said, "If I want to fulfill my promise to you, I must obtain the supreme rule of Yanhuang. Since Emperor Shun has surrendered, there is no need to worry. Even if we defeat the gods in the future, he is still the emperor of Yanhuang, and he will no longer have the same prestige as before. What is worrying is that the heroes of the Great Wilderness have arisen one after another. Miao Emperor Shaoqiu, Dongmiao Zhuyin God, and Sanwei Huandou are all powerful opponents, especially the four great gods. Shanjuan is staring at it here. It is unknown whether they agree with me to replace Emperor Shun.

Han Xun nodded: "It turns out that Dayu is looking after the war. What's the best strategy?"

Six Wenming smiled and said, "Huan Dou can't calculate for the time being, but others? It's better to fight!"

The speed of Di Shun and Rong Di's army was extremely fast. After entering the Great Thorn City, they took a short rest and arrived at the bottom of Yudu City on the third day. However, Yudu is an empty city at this time. Although this city is the capital of the Xia tribe, it has been in operation for hundreds of years, but there is no danger to defend. It simply evacuated the whole tribe and shrank its troops to the south bank of Huaishui.

Even so, Dayu did not give Yu to others for nothing, but set up an ambush in the private houses in the city. Taking advantage of the moment when the leading troops entered the city, he attacked fiercely, killed nearly a thousand people and quickly fled. Di Shun was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He knew that the army of Nanjiao City was gathered, and he didn't know how many tens of thousands of horses were, so he naturally did not dare to enter casually. When he arrived at the bank of Huai River, he stopped and waited for three days. The army of the Five Elements God and Gan Tang began the battle of crossing the river. Most of their soldiers were from Rongdi. They were not good at water and were not good at boating. Moreover, the Xia tribe retreated and took all the boats across the south bank.

Di Shun ordered people to go to the nearby tribes to collect boats. Over the years of floods, almost all tribes have large and small ships. In addition to those fleeing tribes, some tribes that obeyed Diqiu have also contributed some warships and canoes.

But in the end, the number is limited. How can we support a water war?

The five-element god had to send people to cut wood in the primitive forest of the wild. After all, he was a god. He had a big hand and ordered two people to cut the thick giant wood. Each of them was more than 20 feet long. The wooden god Gou Mang personally took action, with a group of wooden masters, abruptly passed the vines through the logs, and tied each of twelve to one. Push it into the river. It turned out to be a raft on which an elephant could stand on it.

A total of 150 rafts have been built. Eighty-one rafts crossed the river first, with 300 soldiers on each of them, and a total of more than 24,000 people began to cross the river. Still with Chiyou Jiashi as the spearhead, Gan Tang led 80 soldiers to stand on the raft as the blade of attack. Of course, for fear that the rafts will eat heavily, these Chiyou armorers did not sacrifice their armor, but just wandered among the soldiers like ordinary people.

In the early morning of the third day after the raft was built, the continuous sound of horns resounded across the river, and these Rongdi people began to cross the river for the first time in their lives. Eighty-one rafts are lined up, each 20 feet apart, vast, covering a ten-mile-wide river.

There were only 50,000 people of the Sanmiao and Yanhuang allied forces stationed on the other side, and Shaoqiu and Dayu personally commanded the battle. Originally, according to Dayu's idea, when the enemy arrived at the river, it was first baptized with a stone thrower for a long distance, and then shot it with a bow and arrow nearby. After a large number of its living forces were destroyed, and then when it was halfway over, it was divided and annihilated by superior force.

This idea was not wrong, but after Shaoqiu knew that Gan Tang was also on the other side, he immediately changed his mind: "Since Gan Tang is in the army, according to her temper, she is the first soldier in any battle. If she is on the raft and you put 81 Chi Youjia on the shore, I'm afraid that our army will soon collapse.

Da Yu thought so. The two were also scared by the terrible power of Chi Youjia. When they entered the range of the stone-throwing machine on the raft, they immediately ordered the attack. Thirty heavy stone throwers on the shore roared and threw a thousand catties of boulder and rumbled into the river. Under the baptism of the stone-throwing machine, the Rongdi people on the river had no resistance at all. They could only place their hopes on the other party's head, and then rowed forward desperately.

Boulders are wave by boulder, and the river is full of columns of water. The first wave was a little far away. Only nine boulders hit the target. Under the loud noise, the raft cracked on the spot, the vines broke, and twelve logs scattered. Except for those who were killed on the spot, most of the soldiers above screamed and fell into the water. Some masters hugged the logs and drifted along the water.

The effect of the second wave was strong, smashing sixteen rafts. However, the third wave of the other party was too close, and most of the boulders hit the back, and only five or six rafts were scattered. This result is barely acceptable to the resistance. After all, there are 9,000 soldiers on 30 rafts. More importantly, thirty Chiyou Jiashi entered Huaishui.

"The bow and crossbowman--" Dayu raised the flag and shouted, "shoot--"

Three hundred mechanical arrow towers have long been erected on the South Bank. With the two masters, Teng Gongqi and Si You, the speed of the coalition to make this kind of arrow tower has doubled. Anyway, a large number of bronze and craftsmen sent by Emperor Shun have built five or six, half of which are in Huaishui.

After all, in a real sense, the First Battle of Huaishui is the first battle between the coalition and the Five Elements God.
