It was not an illusion. The rumbling sound was getting louder and closer. The Tang army was attacking. Ziad sneered in the dark. It was not that he had never encountered this method before, nor had he used it before. He was familiar with it. Very good. He had already judged that the only way for the Tang Army to win was to attack at night. Otherwise, after the war started tomorrow, he would not need to actually attack the city. He would just surround the city and cut off its supplies. After about ten days, the Tang Army would stop fighting. Collapse After all, he captured too much supplies from the Tang Army during the Battle of Talos. Through interrogating the prisoners of war, he knew that the Tang Army¡¯s current supplies could last for another ten days at most, and even if there were supplies from the rear, they could not be transported in. Taxation builds the city. What he can think of, the young general of the Tang Army should also be able to think of. In this case, the only way to break this situation is to attack at night. The rumbling sound is getting louder and louder. At this time, even if their entire army has not warned them, they will be awakened. Ziad couldn¡¯t help but frown: Ye Chang made such a big noise, could it be said that it was not for the night attack? Is it just a show off to provide cover for a real night attack? Or is there some other agenda? No matter what Ye Chang's plan was, Ziad was determined to rely on his own advantage in the army to make the Tang army suffer a bloody blow and repeat the mistakes of Talas City. He thought in his heart, the countries in the river over there The generals were also talking quietly. "Your Majesty the General sent someone to wake us up a long time ago. Sure enough, he was well prepared. This time, the Tang army is probably going to hit the iron plate, right?" "That's no wonder. If Gao Xianzhi led the army, he would definitely not make such a mistake. But now it is Ye Chang What is this? Has anyone heard of this person? " "I have heard that the envoy who went to Chang'an City to pay tribute the year before last came back and told me that he was the son-in-law of Li Linfu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. , his name is Ye Chang" "I also know that he is Li Linfu's son-in-law. Isn't this nonsense?" "Listen to me, he is very profitable and can build roads. It is said that he is between Chang'an and Luoyang. A track with wooden tracks was built, so that the carriage could start from Chang'an in the morning, a journey of 800 miles, in two days and one night. This is pulling a large cart of goods." "That's a capable man, but I don't know how to fight. Well, in that battle during the day, to be honest, Yuan En was too stupid to use cavalry to attack the Tang army's formation. That kind of formation could not show how capable Ye Chang was." These whispers also reached Ziad's ears. , but Ziad turned a deaf ear. He vaguely felt that something was wrong at this time. Ye Chang made such a big noise, for fear that he would not know. It looked like it was not a night attack, but like he was trying to hide something What on earth was he hiding? In the city of Zhenjian, Gao Xianzhi finally made up his mind. He grasped the hilt of the knife and whispered: "Li Siye is no longer reliable. Now we can only rely on us He said that Ye Chang has gained all the military morale. I don't believe it. I took Anxi with me." After being in the army for several years, I dare not say that he has gained the military's morale. How can Ye Chang win the military's morale just by sharing some land and making empty promises? " All the cronies under his command nodded. They knew very well that Ye Changneng could do this. Killing Zheng Dequan will kill them. If Gao Xianzhi cannot turn the situation around, they will have no future in Anxi. "The thief Ye said at this time that his action tonight was nothing more than an attack on the camp at night. If Ziad can defeat me, how can he not be prepared to attack the camp? He will definitely be humiliating himself by going this time. His defeat is a trivial matter. , if Ziad takes the opportunity to counterattack and seize the city, then the Tang Dynasty's career west of Congling will be ruined in the hands of this greedy junior." Gao Xianzhi said again: "Everyone, follow me out and kill anyone who dares to stand in my way. "No mercy." "It started with the fight with Li Wan. He was just a small official in the army. Looking at the warehouse was all he had, but now he comes to control us," said a confidant. "Yes, kill Li Wan and sacrifice the knife," another confidant said. They have been detained by Li Wan in this big house these days. Although they have food, clothing and no worries, they are all very resentful when they are scolded and scolded by this little official who used to look down upon them. "Do it," Gao Xianzhi said. He had heard it a long time ago, but there was no sound outside, so he chose to take action now. In his opinion, since Ye Chang has left the city, the city's defense against him must be relaxed. The door was carefully pushed open, and a henchman came out first with a knife and came to the street outside. Everyone filed out, but after taking a few steps towards the military camp, they all stopped. In the darkness, there were bright shadows in the alley ahead, and dozens of people holding bows and crossbows were aiming at them. The torch lit up immediately, and Li Wan came out with a smile while waving a cattail leaf fan: "There are so many mosquitoes outside, Doctor Gao, are you still interested in coming out to enjoy the cool air?" Gao Xianzhi was mentally prepared for this, but he silently set up an interception. It was obviously not Li Wan's ability. "Where is Ye Chang's son? Let him come to see me." Gao Xianzhi said in a deep voice. ? ?Ye Zhongcheng's prediction was correct and he knew that Doctor Gao would take the opportunity to take risks when he left the city. Ye Zhongcheng has ordered that anyone who steps out of this hospital will die. "Li Wan said slowly: "Shoot" Gao Xianzhi stared and shouted: "How dare you" He called back, but he couldn't stop the people around Li Wan at all. Dozens of bows and crossbows flew together, and arrows came whizzing, screaming. The sound continued, and when Gao Xianzhi looked back after the arrows were fired, all the cronies around him had fallen to the ground, and he was the only one dying. "Youyouare so brave." "Doctor Gao." , they were killed by you, it¡¯s not that you didn¡¯t know the order given by Ye Zhongcheng. Ye Zhongcheng is facing death outside, but you are behind here trying to seize his military power. Who is more courageous, and who is more shameless? "Li Wan scolded angrily: "According to Li's intention, you are just a bird of prey, but Ye Zhongcheng wants to keep you alive because it is useful What's the use of keeping you? It's a waste of food." "I In the bloody battle of Talas, didn't Ye Chang seize my military power in Anxi and Baishiling? He could do it, but I couldn't? "Gao Xianzhi is a general after all, but he is not afraid: "Kill me if you dare, otherwise I will avenge you." "You fought bloody battles? Ye Zhongcheng had clearly warned you when you were sending your brothers to die in Anxi that the Grolu people were unreliable. In order to remind you personally, he rushed from Chang'an to Qiuci, almost without rest for eight thousand miles, so what did you do? Waiting for him? What's more, you left a big mess outside Talas. If Ye Zhongcheng hadn't cleaned up properly, I don't know what it would have been like now. You still have the nerve to come to Ye Zhongcheng. Li Wan broke his face and cursed people, which is a bit Li Bai's style made Gao Xianzhi almost want to vomit blood when scolded, but Gao Xianzhi knew very well that his situation was over, and he could only seek to gain some verbal upper hand. "Idiot, just be happy and be crazy. Do you think Ye Chang's night attack will succeed? Damn, he will definitely die this time. Maybe his first achievement will be in Ziad's hands now. By then, I think, "How will you end up with a villain like you?" "You will know who is stupid at dawn. Ambassador Gao, don't think that Ye Zhongcheng is as stupid as you in using troops." Li Wan smiled again. He is one of the few people who knows Ye Chang's overall arrangements, so he has strong confidence in this night attack. "What, what other tricks does he have?" Gao Xianzhi couldn't help but ask. Ye Chang ate him to death. Logically speaking, he wouldn't be too stupid. If he really went straight to launch a night attack, there must be other arrangements. So what exactly is this arrangement? As he asked, a bang was suddenly heard outside, and then thousands of troops galloped, and the earth shook. Gao Xianzhi was so startled by the sound that he stepped back again and again, tripped over the corpse of a confidant, hit the wall, and fell down. "This is" His expression changed drastically. ¡°This is¡ª¡ª¡± Ziad also changed his color in the ambush of the cannibal. "This is this?" Almost everyone looked around in panic among the hundred thousand Dashi and the coalition forces of various countries. "This is" Dou Xuena, who was worried, suddenly raised his head. "Water" This is the sound of water, the sound of rushing and roaring water. Everyone is familiar with it, but no one is familiar with it. This is a land of high mountains, and the Talos River is dozens of miles away. Although there are some tributaries here, how can there be such a loud sound of water? "Your Highness, let's go quickly. No matter what it is, let's go quickly and seek shelter at a higher place." The confidant Dou Zhongjie arranged for Dou Xuena was relatively calm and steady, and came up to pull him up. "Yes, let's go quickly." Dou Xuena also understood and did not care about the things in the tent. He took his own guards and dodged towards higher places. The entire Dashi Alliance Army, including soldiers and civilians, totals more than 100,000 people. Of course, it cannot be accommodated in one place. Their camp stretched for more than ten miles from outside Shujian City to the exit of Baishiling. Ziad had already reacted at this time and was shouting to drive the troops to move to higher ground. However, in order to deal with Ye Chang's sneak attack, the headquarters of the Dashi Army had already set up military formations, wore armor, and gathered together. After hearing this Order, you squeeze me and I squeeze you in a hurry, pushing and even stepping on each other, almost uncontrollable. Not only the food army, but also the allied forces of the Hezhong and Tocharian countries are also fighting for the road. They don't know where the water comes from, but they know that it is definitely not safe to stay where they are now. In this kind of chaos, it is inevitable to use knives and guns on each other. Suddenly, screams were everywhere, and there were killings among each other everywhere. At this time, Ziad was still taking chances and trying to restrain the troops. He was in a higher position, originally to facilitate his observation of the battlefield situation. At this time, he saw three turbid currents surging out like giant dragons from the northeast, southeast and northwest directions, along the valley - this It was also their marching path and camp site, which they had cleaned up along the way. ??Everything that stood in front of them, whether it was boulders or trees, was swept away and swallowed up in an instant, and then disappeared completely. Because of the darkness of night, Ziad certainly couldn¡¯t see it so clearly. What he saw was three giant beasts attacking from three directions.To his army. He only had time to shout "True God" before the giant beast overwhelmed the military formation he was preparing to use to deal with the Tang army and rolled towards his direction. "How is this possible, how is this possible? True God, even the demon Iblis does not have the ability to summon such a terrifying monster What is going on, True God, the ubiquitous True God, have you abandoned it? Me, I am so" At this moment, even Ziad fell into a crazy situation. Because the scene in front of him was completely beyond his expectation. He had indeed experienced hundreds of battles and fought many beautiful battles. He had faced many cunning and wise enemies, but the enemy who used water on such a large scale was still the first The first time I encountered Talas, I found that except for a small plain on the edge of the city, most of them were snow-covered mountains. Glaciers have carved out large or small lakes on the mountains, and every summer, these lakes are always filled with water from melted glacial snow. In addition, a few days ago, there was heavy rain on the night Gao Xianzhi lost the battle at Talas, and there was enough water in these lakes. After Ye Chang confirmed this, he had already thought of a plan to flood the food army. ? Then we must lead the big eater to a relatively low-lying place, that is, out of the Baishiling Valley Road. Therefore, Ye Chang first withdrew from Baishiling and retreated to Shuijian City, and then asked Dou Zhongjie to pretend to surrender without demolishing the camp he had abandoned - he could be sure that Ziad would not abandon the camp he had built if he had a little foresight. There must also be enough water. In the past few days, the scouts sent by Ye Chang have been searching for alpine lakes almost day and night, while the craftsmen are working hard to make repair tools. Nearly 10,000 reliable Anxi soldiers, Tian Wei Jian'er was sent out to carry out the excavation project. He couldn't let the Dashi people discover his intentions, so Ye Chang left Li Siye's troops outside the city of Shuijian. On the surface, it was to use the city defense to test Dashi's military strength. In fact, it was to focus Ziad's attention on the city of Shujian. In this case, even if Ziad sends out scouts, he will not pay attention to those hard-to-reach mountain lakes. Don¡¯t reveal your trump card until the last moment. Therefore, Ye Chang organized this disguised sneak attack. Thousands of riders rushed towards the food army to cover up the sound of waves rushing by the water in the mountains. When the cannibals discerned the real sound, they had little time to avoid floods and fire attacks. Water and fire were merciless. For the cannibals who were accustomed to conducting regiment battles in the open areas of the plains, it was really a problem. Strange things. Even if they had seen the so-called "Greek Fire", it was only a weapon-level use of fire, not even a tactical level, let alone the current use of water attack that was almost at the battle level. At this time, Ziad did not realize that he had fallen into a trap. He never thought that such a terrifying force of nature could be released by humans. When he realized that this natural catastrophe would bring disaster to his hundred thousand troops, he had already been wrapped up by some of his subordinates and taken to another higher hill. No one knew where they were standing just now. , will it be swallowed by water? Ziad came over clearly, and when he looked around again, he almost felt like crying. He originally had an army of more than 100,000 people, but now, he can't see anything. Everything he can see is water. Because of the darkness of night, he can't judge what is happening outside the water. Around him, there were only a few hundred pitiful soldiers, as well as some generals and tribal leaders, who also followed him in panic and fled here. As for supplies, there are absolutely no supplies. Even the torch in hand for lighting is almost burned out.
