Ren Baqian and the others were still waiting on the riverbank while some soldiers went to cut down trees nearby.
Whether it was building boats or setting up camp, this was necessary preparation.
Ren Baqian used a pair of binoculars to observe the other side and realized that the other side had been waiting quietly and hadn't made any big moves.
They should have seen it when he sent people upstream to check, right? It didn't matter if the plan failed?
Did the other side still have a backup plan? What could it be?
Ren Baqian pondered for a while but couldn't figure it out.
He wasn't good at this kind of strategy and couldn't figure out what the other side was thinking.
In any case, they were completely stronger than the other side, and the only thing the other side could do was to think of ways to weaken their forces.
Otherwise, using a group of new soldiers and garrison troops to face the Protectorate of the South and the winged cavalry, whose weakest members were Man Wheel experts, would be no different from courting death.
The other side couldn't possibly think that a group of new soldiers could defeat the aboriginal army, right? Even if their numbers were 20 or 30 times greater.
If war was simply a game of accumulating numbers, Dayao would have been destroyed a hundred times over.
Therefore, as long as they were careful, didn't step into the trap, and avoided too much damage to their troops, they would definitely win this rebellion.
They would deal with it as it came.
Ren Baqian remembered someone saying that every outstanding commander was a coward. As such, they would think carefully, consider every aspect, and not miss a single detail.
Ren Baqian felt that this made sense.
He wasn't timid at all, so he was destined not to be an outstanding commander.
Ren Baqian turned to look for Li Fu and quickly found Qingyun Sword and Zuo Cheng. Now, the two of them were like King Kong on the left and right.
Li Fu ignored the two of them and kept thinking about what was going on. Why were there Heaven-grade weapons? Why were there two of them?
"Senior, there's an army blocking the way ahead. Why don't you capture the commander of that army and destroy them? Then, we can go back and study the fire arrows as soon as possible." Ren Baqian rode his horse to Li Fu's side.
Li Fu didn't even raise his head. His face was full of wrinkles as he continued to ponder.
Ren Baqian didn't mind at all. He didn't expect Li Fu to become a fighter just because of his words.
Even though he looked a little stupid, he was still the best in the world.
At this moment, Ren Baqian suddenly heard a thunderous sound from afar.
"Is it going to rain?" Ren Baqian raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. If it rained, the water level in the river would definitely surge, and the current would become rapid. When that happened, it would be more troublesome to cross the river.
However, as far as he could see, the sky was clear and there was no sign of rain.
At this moment, chaos broke out ahead.
"Flood! Flood! Quickly report to the Protector-General and His Majesty. Retreat quickly! "many soldiers shouted.
Ren Baqian raised his eyebrows, leaped up from the back of his mount, and finally saw the scene in the distance.
In the distance, a white line was rushing towards them! In front of the white line, dozens of small dots were running wildly in their direction like huskies that had lost their reins.
"F * ck!" Ren Baqian really wanted to curse. So this was the other party's plan!
The other party was not waiting for them to cross the river to burst the dam. The other party had accumulated enough water to flood both sides of the river.
It was no wonder that the other party was not in a hurry. Even though they knew that they had sent people upstream to investigate, they did not take any action.
The empress and Xi Wanya were faster than him. They had already leaped into the air and saw what was happening. They immediately shouted, "Everyone, retreat to the mountain and throw away everything! Everyone, retreat quickly! "
"Don't panic. Quickly retreat to the mountain in order of distance," Xi Wanya shouted.
Ren Baqian landed on the back of the fork-horned cow and looked at the hill next to him. The rear of the army was close to the hill, but some people in front were already close to the river and were at least 1.5 kilometers away from the hill.
With the speed of a Man Wheel expert, it would take about three minutes to cover 1.5 kilometers.
The white line that they saw just now would take at least three minutes to reach this place.
It seemed like they could make it in time, but the problem was that there were nearly 10,000 people gathered in such a large area, and it was impossible to escape!
Just like now. Ren Baqian looked around and saw that the soldiers near the hill had quickly retreated up the mountain, but the area around him was in a mess.
Even if Xi Wanya repeatedly shouted for them not to panic, chaos was inevitable. It would be fine if he had more time, but there was no time now.
Whether it was water or fire, they couldn't wait for anyone!
"Kill!" At this moment, a battle cry was heard from the hill again!
An army of about 1,000 people rushed over from that direction and was met with a rain of arrows before they even got close.
"It's not an army, it's a martial arts practitioner!" Even though Ren Baqian was far away, he could immediately tell their identities from their movements.
It was almost impossible to ambush an army nearby, but it was entirely possible for a group of 1,000 martial arts practitioners to approach quietly!
"Damn it, are the people from the Rearguard Commandery eating sh * t?" Ren Baqian was furious!
The situation here was already chaotic, and the appearance of an enemy force on the hill made it even slower for them to return to the hill. If this continued, there was no telling how many people would die in this flood.
"Let's go!" The empress landed beside Ren Baqian, grabbed him with one hand, and charged toward the enemy force that suddenly appeared on the hill.
"Senior Li Fu!" Ren Baqian shouted down at this moment. "Your Majesty, look for Li Fu. Otherwise, even if we kill the people on the hill, I don't know how many people will be washed away by the current speed!"
After hearing Ren Baqian's words, the empress looked for Li Fu in the air, made a turn, and landed beside him.
"Senior, please help!" Ren Baqian cupped his hands at Li Fu.
"I'm not going to get involved in the affairs of you little guys!" Li Fu looked at him and shook his head.
"If we lose this battle, the south will be in chaos. Outside, there are the Chen Nation, the Yun Nation, and Great Xia eyeing us covetously. If there is an internal rebellion, how will we have the ability to develop technology and manufacture rockets? Senior, please help us. You don't have to attack the rebel army, just ask for help from these soldiers! When we get back, I will make a kite for you to fly in the sky! "Ren Baqian said quickly.
Li Fu's previous strike had shocked him. If there was anyone who could turn the tide at this time, it would be this person.
Li Fu hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, "Fine, I will help you. Get the people to hide behind me! "
Ren Baqian was overjoyed and quickly said to the empress, "Your Majesty, get those who can't return to the hill to hide behind you."
Without another word, the empress cupped her hands at Li Fu as a gesture of gratitude. She then got everyone to gather behind Li Fu.
After everyone had gathered, the empress carried Ren Baqian and landed on a tree, closely watching Li Fu's every move.
At this moment, the rebel army on the hill threw down a pile of corpses. After a short fight, only a small portion of them ran to the rear.
Their goal was to delay the aboriginal army for a moment, and they had achieved their goal.
Ren Baqian looked ahead and saw that the surging tide was only a hundred meters away from them. A huge wave that was more than two meters tall rushed toward them with great power and rumbling sounds.
Li Fu was facing this wave with his staff, and behind him were thousands of soldiers squeezed together.
In less than a dozen breaths, the wave was in front of everyone.
Li Fu stared at the wave in front of him with a solemn face. The Dragon Turtle Rod in his hand instantly became two meters long, and he pointed it forward.
Boom!
The wave in front of Li Fu exploded in a radius of dozens of meters. Li Fu was satisfied with the effectiveness of this strike. According to his estimation, this strike should be able to create a radius of 100 meters.
However, the next second, the flood came crashing down.
Li Fu was shocked. How could the power of this strike be so weak? Following which, he shook out a sky full of rod shadows and pointed them in front of him.
At this point, the wave separated from where Li Fu stood and surrounded the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers at the outermost layer could clearly see the countless fish in the water.
Ren Baqian and the empress could see clearly from the tree that Li Fu didn't just use one strike, but countless strikes. Countless rod shadows filled the space in front of him.
The flood was split apart in front of him and pushed outwards by the rod shadows that he used to point at both sides. The water collided with the water outside and was squeezed together again.
However, it just so happened to let the soldiers behind Li Fu pass.
From a distance, everyone looked like a reef standing in the water, allowing the water to wash them.
Having the experience of smashing a mountain with one strike, Li Fu's rod shadows that filled the sky and split the water 100 meters apart didn't seem very amazing.
After all, he only used one strike to smash a mountain, but now he used countless strikes. The area in front of Li Fu was completely covered in rod shadows.
However, Li Fu's control of power could be said to be at the peak! He was able to make the flood avoid the soldiers and merge one meter behind them. Such control was indeed the best in the world.
The eyes of the baihu standing on the mountain, Qingyun Sword, and the others behind Li Fu were glowing.
At this time, Li Fu, who was admired by everyone, wanted to curse out loud!
"Damn it! Why has my strength dropped so much? This is like seeing a ghost! I thought that I could split the river with one strike, but it took more than 100 strikes to do so. I have to use all my strength to barely protect so many people. If this goes on, I won't be able to hold on for long! "
