: One hundred and sixty-four Battle of the Sonar River (3)

"Your Majesty, the river water this afternoon does not seem right! It feels less than it was in the morning!"

Saron wore this black general armor from the outside, and the riding boots covered with mud on the river rubbed on the red carpet at the entrance of the military account, trying to scrape off the mud above, a phantom Smashed heavily on him, and a document rolled down under his feet

"Asshole, that's a hand-made goose down rug." There was a slightly angry voice from the fat man in the military account. "If I remember correctly, this is the third goose down rug that you have stained. I came three times a morning, every time. It’s all like this, do you know the value of these carpets? The value of each one is more than a thousand dollars, I will record it in your military spending this time!"

"Don't, Your Majesty, you know that I'm the poorest among the other legions. Three thousand gold is deducted at once, but that's a squadron's reward!" Hearing this carpet was worth a thousand dollars, Saron quickly moved his feet away. Boots, looked carefully at the red carpet under my feet on the dirt, muttered and said, "No, your majesty, I remember that this kind of rug is not a military equipment used for laying tents, each value is only ten silver coins. ! Isn’t His Majesty different from others? Can’t see it!”

"Paved in my military account, it's worth a lot of money." The fat man watched the carpet he had just changed into a mud blanket at the foot of the prodigal son of Saron, and he grunted dissatisfiedly in his mouth. "If you have an opinion , You can declare it upwards!"

"Apply it up? How could that be possible!" Salon subconsciously threw his tongue out, joking, isn't his superior just His Majesty Falcon yourself! Let yourself declare upwards that this rogue style is indeed worthy of His Majesty Falcon.

"Since there is no opinion, what are you standing there to see!" The fat man dropped his pen, rolled up the map on the table, and rolled his eyes at the sad face of Saron. Say "I haven't brought me the documents on the ground! That's the report of your request to increase military spending. If you don't want it, I don't care. You can take the shoe polish, this is free for you! Don't think I don't know you Who are you writing? Who can write this eloquent style in addition to multiple choices! I haven't seen you in a while, and you have grown up. The relationship between the military and political officials in the Northwest is good!"

"Don't, don't be like this, Your Majesty! I haven't followed His Majesty's orders and learned more about government affairs," Saron panicly explained. Regardless of his manners, he picked up the report on the ground and walked past fartly, with respectful hands on the fat man's desk

The two guards standing at the door of the tent raised their heads in unison. The affection of the monograph is like enjoying the beautiful moonlight with the lover in the daytime. No matter how prestigious the five major army commanders are, stomping outside can make the Emperor Realm shake. Shaking, but in front of the falcon, it looks like a mouse and a cat

"Say, what did you find so exciting! It's like hitting chicken blood!"

The fat man pressed down the report. His eyes glanced across Saron’s face and said slowly, “The Gaul army has arrived on the banks of the Sona River for two days. The first army arrived was 70,000, and then the main force of 110,000. Except for the first day On the upstream of the attack, the other side launched several temptation attacks against the riverside on the next day, but no progress was made, but more than 3,000 people were lost. The third day, the other side did not move all morning, it should be There are other ideas!"

"It's nothing. It just feels that the water on the river is not as anxious as before!" Saron's face flashed suddenly, and he said indifferently in his mouth. "I looked up the upstream and middle reaches, and it was strange, upstream. The flow of the river does not change much, but as the river becomes wider and wider, and the water enters the relatively wide middle reaches of the river, the river has fallen a lot, and the depth is obviously insufficient. In the past, it was difficult to cross the area, and now it can be barely passed by the horse." '

"You mean, the river doesn't know why there is less?" The fat man's face became solemn and suddenly stood up, interrupting Saron's report

"Yes, that's probably what it means!" Saron was taken aback by the fat man's move. I don't know why it caused such a strong reaction from His Majesty Falcon, but he still nodded affirmatively. Although it seems a bit incredible, it does I feel this way. I didn’t feel it when I set off in the morning, but when I returned in the afternoon, I could clearly feel something was wrong!"

"Interesting! Nothing in this world is impossible, the other party is not swimming downstream, obviously has their own plans! I am also guessing, but now the answer is already very obvious "Fat man has deep eyes, seems to think of something, touched Touching the chin "It seems that we have encountered a very thoughtful opponent. It is impossible for the river to change so much in a few days, unless the other party cut off the tributary to reduce the inflow of the river, so that the subsequent large army can walk through!"

"No, how is that possible!" Saron blinked his eyes, his face unbelievable, letting the amount of water in a river with plenty of water flow to a depth that can walk through in a few days, it is really unbelievable,

"Don’t forget, it’s the dry season of the Sona River now!" The fat man spread out the map of the Sona River on the table, his finger clicked on the map. "It can be seen from the map that this thing flows to Sona The middle section of the main stream of the river dragged four tributaries in the southern part of the map. During the dry season of the Sona River, most of the currents came from the tributaries, but the mainstream flow was not much,"

"If these tributaries are cut off, I can say that the water flow will be reduced by half in a few days, and the other party clearly sees this too"

The fat man's finger clicked fiercely in the lower section of the map. "If the entire Sona River channel is likened to a wooden board under pressure, the downstream gentle belt is undoubtedly the weakest part of this wooden board! The midstream has become gentle. , The downstream will become more gentle,

"As long as the water flow is reduced to a certain level, the large and small shoals in the lower reaches will all rise to the surface of the river. The other side should be waiting for this. At that time, the other side only needs to take advantage of the infantry cluster to cross the river forcibly along the shoals.

"Although our army has 40,000 troops in the lower reaches, it is a river with a length of 5 miles. There are not many 40,000 people on average, but the other party has 180,000 troops. Under full attack, as long as the opportunity Grasping it, we can completely break through the weak point of the downstream with our superior strength in a short time before our main reinforcements arrive in the middle reaches!"

"Then what shall we do?"

Salon took a breath of air. After a hundred battles, I have seen countless opponents of the imperial generals, and this time I am a bit stunned. Probably only His Majesty Falcon will make such an unbelievable judgment that is closest to the truth. If it is yourself, it is estimated to wait until the downstream The whole line collapsed, and I couldn't figure out how the other party did it!

"In fact, it is not difficult! He cut off the tributary, then we will go upstream and cut off the mainstream!" The fat man smiled. "He wants to cross the river, we will help him!"

"What? Cut off the mainstream! Help the enemy cross the river? This is all messy." Saron is like a copper bell with a wide-eyed eye. I was stunned to think that I had heard it wrong, and hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to cut off the mainstream? Isn't this making the river completely lose water?"

"You are right, cutting off the mainstream is to make the flow of the river smoother! Let the shoals of the lower reaches be exposed in advance." The fat man nodded, and five fingers pressed heavily on the river channel map on the desktop, the corner of his mouth slightly tilted, Showing strong confidence, saying

"This time the Sonar River is fighting. We are fighting against the river, and the other party is going north into the city. Strategically, the defending side seems to have the advantage of the river. But in fact, in order to keep this section of the river for 50 miles, We have 230,000 people in the air, but we must separate our troops.

"The strategic initiative has been lost, but the other party can move flexibly and concentrate. Choose a location and take advantage of our weaknesses to launch a full blow at any time. I don’t know when the other party launched the main attack and the location of the attack. This kind of uncertainty xìng is the biggest trouble in our defense. The opponent attacked the upstream as soon as he came. It should also be to confuse us. Now, the opponent jumped into the pit. The location of the attack can be clearly downstream. As for the time, just look at when You know when the alluvial shoals are exposed downstream!"

"It turned out that the subordinates took people to the upstream!" Saron's face suddenly appeared, and he was about to turn around, and a rumbling sound crossed the tent.

"Is this?" The fat man flashed a stunned face, walked quickly to the door of the tent, and raised his head to look at the sky above him. The clear sky didn't know when it was covered with dark clouds. It was just a dull thunder just before the Sona River At the other end, a dark sky seems to be a sign before a heavy rain

"Saron, take some more people to make the dam as strong as possible." The corner of the fat man's mouth revealed a mysterious sneer and asked Saron "Hopefully, a torrential rain that can destroy everything!"

"Your Majesty, I don't understand!" Saron was puzzled. He didn't know why His Majesty Falcon said so.

"Just execute the order!" The fat man did not want to explain more, waved his hand, and said coldly, "Within five days, if you can't stop the upstream water before receiving the order, no matter what the outcome of this battle, You no longer need to be the leader of the army!

"Yes!" Salon shuddered and made a joke, but he could feel that His Majesty's words were true!

Late at night, the light rain drifted into heavy rain sweeping the entire area, and the large raindrops were blown by the wind, sweeping like a naughty child

"Booming" dull thunder sounded in the middle of the low clouds, the ears of the people beneath the trembling sounded, the dazzling blue electric light cut through the black night sky like a dance, illuminating Stanley Spencer standing in Sona The lonely figure beside the lower river channel,

In front of him, the torrent was circling, the rush of the water was rushing, and the rivers that had just dried up had begun to show signs of swell, and the shoal that had just emerged in the river was again submerged by the torrent.

Because I didn’t expect heavy rain, the dams that blocked several tributaries were washed away, and more than a dozen soldiers were swept away by the torrent, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

"Sir, the current is too fast to be able to cross the shoal!"

An officer jumped into the river with a rope on his body, trying to pass along the shoal, but the swift current was slanting, and his body hit the rock that came out. If it was not tied to the body, he would have been washed. The shadow is gone, the soldiers are pulling him up violently

"This rain is not the time!"

Stanley Spencer's eyes raised angrily, looking at the white raindrops flying over his head, his brows tightly condensed into a Sichuan word, and the sad eyes of the gods, like the flames, staring at the rising river, tight The hand clenched into a fist causes the joints to pale slightly due to excessive force

It is now the dry season, blocking the tributaries and reducing the flow of water, it is difficult to avoid the eyes of the bright-eyed people for a long time. It was possible to cross the river tonight, but the sudden rainstorm made all plans messy. Had to postpone and the danger expanded rapidly,

Once the changes in the water flow are noticed by the other party, his clever layout will become a dead end for the army to suffer heavy losses.

And this time the number of Northwest troops is beyond his expectations,

The fifty-mile-long river course was even heavily guarded, and several attempts ended in failure. I thought that the northwest was a piece of loose sand, and as long as the northwest coast was defeated, the overall situation could be determined, but I did not expect the northwest to be so united,

"Your Majesty looked down on the Northwest!"

Stanley Spencer secretly sighed, and the Gaul army advanced into the raid. Now that it has been contained, the northwestern army, which is fixed by the river, is now like a sturdy gate, blocking the direction of the army.

"My lord, according to my experience, this rain is too late, and I should be in a hurry!" A middle-aged General Gaul looked up at the sky. He said beside him, "It's not as slow as ours. The dark night is not conducive to crossing the river. The surging river also makes it harder to cross the river.

According to the scout's report, the other party has strengthened its troops and built strong fortifications on the river bank. It's so dark, we can't see anything at all, if it hits like this. The crossing forces will only fall into crisis! "

"Ssenu. I also want to take it easy, but time is not waiting for anyone!"

Stanley Spencer sighed and looked at the general, who was his partner for many years, and said uglyly, "The southwestern side has promised to provide logistics for another ten days, if it is impossible to break into the sea during this time. City, the army will fall into a disadvantageous position, this battle of conquest has become a joke embarrassing the emperor, the army of 180,000 Gauls, can not win a northwest! How can we still talk about the emperor's royal meeting Open up the territory for His Majesty the Emperor, and clear the rebellion!"

"This one......"

General Gaul's face was bleak, and people were not as good as the sky. Who would have thought that this rain had come so badly? If there is no such rain, at this time tomorrow, the army has swept the northwest army opposite, letting the cavalry cavalry Take the victory report to the imperial Kyoto,

"Order the third army to cut off the tributaries to increase its strength, regardless of the loss, it is necessary to block the tributary river channels after the heavy rain." Stanley Spencer sternly ordered the soldiers behind him to order. As long as the rains slowed down, we will Take the ride!"

"Sir, if we do this, our troops will lose a lot!"

"Since it is a war, loss is inevitable!"

The **** Scyly Spencer raised his head and looked at the light of the northwest military camp opposite. "I believe that the other party would not have thought that we would take advantage of the rainy night. In this offensive and defensive battle, our opportunity with the northwest It’s all about life and death!"

Unexpectedly, the rain came fast and went fast,

When the sun on the next day showed a face that surprised both sides from behind the dark clouds, the time had already been pushed to noon on the fourth day of the battle. The river was rarely clear, and there was no muddy mud after the rainstorm. Someone was already wondering, Last night's heavy rain didn't cause the river's current to soar,

The Duke of Denia personally found the fat man and expressed his concern about the abnormal situation. According to the analysis of the duke, this seems to be a sign that the sky is unfavorable to the northwest. To pay more attention to Vickia Falcon, the fat man's face looks disappointed. The tributary was cut off, Salon cut off the main stream, and it was so bad when there was water. The Duke of Denia was sent away, and the fat man went downstream. The tumbling torrent was no longer visible in the past, and only the gentle current was on the river. Sparkling, green algae can be clearly seen, clearly bottomed!

"Your Majesty, last night we found that there seemed to be movement across the road!"

Responsible for the defense here is Yaglins~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This general who had hit the Rudds in the Battle of Yinque Mountain has been recognized as a defensive expert, and the fat man gave him this important stretch of river, It was because he valued his ability to breathe in all kinds of situations. As a general, he was not stable, how could his soldiers have a sense of victory! For the sight in front of him, he was also awkward for a while. Although no abnormalities were found, the clear water was a scene in itself.

"Is there much movement?"

The fat man stopped and stood on the riverside with his head tilted, his gaze looked at the river, under a rock protruding from the river, and he could vaguely see a shoal reef over ten meters long. He did not know that last night, he was just opposite him. , Stanley Spencer once gazed at the river in the same way, except that the river at that time was not clear, but the river was rolling

"It's not very big, it seems to be a floating object in the torrent! But I don't know why, I always feel that there will be a situation soon." Jaglins' tone was not very sure. The rainstorm poured in last night, even if he did not think that the opposite party would meet. Under such circumstances, taking the river crossing is based solely on intuition

"Indeed, you are right! It may be tonight!" The fat man said half-jokingly, taking his gaze from the river, so many people were aware of the anomaly. The other side intercepted the tributaries very successfully. The next step should be to cross the river! . )
