The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 177 The General Arrives One Step Late

Zhou Cang and others looked up at the sky after hearing the words.

In the distance dark clouds cover the sky and the mountain wind howls,

After a few breaths, the sky darkened.

Heaven has changed!
Really changed!
Everyone's faces were full of excitement.

They all exclaimed with joy:
"As expected by General Bai, this rain came at just the right time!"

"The general is really a god-man, and he should give it to the rainy day he calls in his heart."

Bai Qi was not complacent, but repeatedly urged:

"Everyone must inspect the dike carefully, and the unreinforced places must be strengthened and deepened.

I'm afraid this rain is not small..."

Everyone responded in unison.

Since God helped them, everyone naturally had to seize the opportunity.

Zhou Cang and others quickly checked the gaps and made up for the leaks to ensure that everything was safe.

Wait till everyone is done.

The weather changed dramatically.

The wind blows.

The wind brings rain, and the rain hides the wind.

The rain came very hard.

Rainwater the size of soybeans poured down from the sky above.

It still hurts a little when it hits someone's face.

The raindrops kept falling on the river below the dam, causing countless ripples.

Under its blow, the flowers, plants and trees played the music of nature.

The rain was crackling more and more, and the howling and raging wind was blowing more and more madly.

Everyone was smiling, and the rain had already drenched everyone's bodies, but they didn't care.

They still felt that the rain was not falling hard enough.

Bai Qi looked at where Huangfu Song's army and Zhang Yan's army were located in the direction of Shengyuan Valley.

There is sharpness in the eyes.

Huangfusong, Zhang Yan, this is a gift carefully prepared for you.

You can accept it with peace of mind!

He also thought about whether Zhang Yan should be notified in advance.

After all, killing Zhang Yan's army, who was also a rebel army, spread the word that Liu Yi's reputation would be bad.

It may even affect Liu Yi's integration of the Black Mountain Army.

But on second thought.

Those who achieve great things are not careful about the little things.

If Zhang Yan had been informed in advance, no one could guarantee that something would happen and affect his plan.

It's all because Zhang Yan didn't know current affairs and didn't choose to join Liu Yi.

That being the case, it is no wonder that he is cruel and merciless.

It rained continuously for three days.

The river, which was originally less than half a foot deep, swelled and overflowed directly after Pei Yuanshao and others built embankments to intercept the water.

The depth is nearly two feet.

The river is rushing, like a beast ready to go.

Wait until the fourth day.

The blue sky is like washing, the sun is shining brightly, the air is fresh, and the world is completely renewed.

It rained heavily for three consecutive days.

See the long-lost good weather again.

Whether it is the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army or the soldiers of the Han Army, they are all in a good mood.

When Huangfusong ordered people to bury the pot to make rice, he deliberately reduced the quantity to create the illusion that the food was exhausted.

On the one hand, he ordered people to pack their bags and prepare to withdraw.

Hong Bo and the others acted according to plan, so they didn't mention it.

……

For Zhang Yan.

He has long been impatient.

According to the plan, they should have attacked Huangfusong's army long ago, but they had to delay until now due to the heavy rain.

Fortunately, this heavy rain is not a bad thing for them.

They guard the city and have their own places to hide from the rain and move around.

Unlike the generals and soldiers of the Han army who can only live in tents, if their activities are hindered, it is estimated that the whole person will be moldy in three days.

Of course, this is not the most critical.

The key point is that it has been raining heavily for several days, and the journey of the Han army's grain transportation troops has been hindered, and it is even more impossible to return in time.

It was difficult for the soldiers under Emperor Fusong, the Emperor of Heavy Rain, to continue hunting in the mountains and fishing in the rivers.

More than 3 mouths have a lot to eat every day.

Through the scouts, the trace information left by the Han army's burial of pots and rice was sent back.

Zhang Yan was even more convinced that the Han army must be running low on food and grass.

Packing up your bags is definitely preparing to get out before the food and grass run out.

Been attacking them for so long.

How could Zhang Yan allow Huangfusong to leave as soon as he said it.

So he quickly summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

In the chamber.

See all the generals are here.

Zhang Yan was full of ambition, and said excitedly:

"It rained heavily for many days, and it was difficult for Huangfusong's soldiers to enter the mountains or go down the river.

The troops who went out to collect food have not heard from them for a long time.

According to the information sent back by the scouts, the soldiers of the Han army have begun to pack their bags and prepare to withdraw.

The number of buried pots for cooking is one-third less than before.

It can be seen that they are almost out of food.

With the army's morale scattered, the soldiers of the front army and the middle army had to retreat first, and the soldiers of the rear army were responsible for cutting off the rear.

The current situation is the best time for us to defeat the enemy.

Everyone, hurry up and gather the troops of the headquarters, and follow the general to pursue the situation. Don't let old Huangfusong run away again this time! "

"Here!"

Everyone's faces are happy.

If what Zhang Yan said is true, then this time they must seize the opportunity to beat the dog in the water.

It is best to annihilate the troops of the Han army, kill Huangfusong, make contributions and become famous.

Zheng Yi thought for a moment.

Not finding any major omissions, they followed the generals to reorganize the army, preparing to defeat Huangfusong's army in one fell swoop.

Bai Qi's [-] troops were also selectively ignored by him.

His thoughts were the same as Zhang Yan's. Maybe Liu Yi didn't really want to reinforce them, but he definitely wouldn't target them.

Furthermore, three thousand soldiers and horses are somewhat insignificant to them and Zhang Yan's total army of [-] to [-].

Huangfusong was not too wary, and only sent 3000 people to garrison.

They don't need to take it too seriously.

All the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army are ready to go.

Zhang Yan personally took command, leaving [-] old and weak soldiers to guard the city.

Leading his subordinates, large and small, and more than [-] elite troops, they pursued towards Huangfusong's station in a mighty way.

It can be said that this time he spent a lot of money and was ready to fight Huangfusong.

It is bound to defeat Huangfusong, to rectify the name of him and the Black Mountain Army, and to raise their military prestige!

Zhang Yan led the army and marched aggressively all the way.

Soon they arrived at the place where Huangfu Song's army was originally stationed.

It was quiet all around.

Except for some sundries, there was no sign of a Han soldier at all.

A scout arrived on horseback.

Gongshenghui reports:
"The general came a step late, the rear of Huangfu Song's army just left."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan clenched her fists suddenly, and asked loudly, "Can you find out where they fled?"

"Huangfusong led the army to withdraw in the direction of Shengyuan Valley, intending to join forces with Zhang Kuang's troops."

Shengyuan Valley?
Zhang Yan was a little puzzled and said:
"After days of rain, the river in Shengyuan Valley will inevitably rise, and it will be difficult for people and horses to cross the river in deep water.

How can Huangfu Song's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses cross? "

The scout hurriedly explained:
"The general doesn't know, a few days ago Huangfusong built a dam to fish in Shengyuan Valley, blocking part of the river.

Although the water level in Shengyuan Valley has risen, there are still a few shallow places where the river can be crossed.

It's just that the speed is limited, and it is not as smooth as before.

If I catch up in time, I will be able to kill them. It's a dilemma. "

Zhang Yan and other generals suddenly realized after hearing this.

Zheng Yi hurriedly chased after him: "How deep can you find the water in each place?"

The scout said without thinking:
"The deep part reaches the chest, and the shallow part only reaches the knees to the waist. The soldiers of the Han army are withdrawing from the shallow part."

After listening to the scout's report.

Zhang Yan didn't want to stay longer, so as not to let more Han soldiers escape.

shouted anxiously:

"It's not too late!
Order all the soldiers to rush to Shengyuan Valley to pursue Huangfusong! "
