Su Wo Yi led his men to count the losses. In a short period of time, they had finished counting. Su Wo Yi's expression was very ugly. Because of the previous bombardment, the soldiers under his command did not even know where the enemy was hiding. They did not cause any harm to the enemy at all. Instead, they suffered huge losses.
This time, Su Wo Yi brought 30,000 elites.
This was the most he could muster.
But he did not expect that this time, Su Wo Yi's army would lose more than 3,000 people.
In the past, the loss of more than 3,000 people was not a big deal. The problem was that in the battle just now, he did not lead the troops at all. His soldiers were just fleeing and did not fight, but more than 3,000 people were killed or injured. This made Su Wo Yi very dissatisfied.
Su Wo Yi came to Wang Qingtong's side and said with a serious expression, "Pingyuan King, I lost more than 3,000 people in this battle. The loss is huge."
Wang Qingtong said, "I've also lost more than a hundred soldiers. It's not a small loss."
The two of them looked at each other and felt sullen.
This battle was sullen.
It was not satisfying.
The troops stopped to rest so that they could reorganize their formation and restore their morale.
After resting for about an hour, the troops continued their journey and began to move in the direction of the ferry. Because they had already left the front line of Fuping Mountain, the terrain of this area was low. The river flowing down from above also flowed along the river and rushed all the way to the sea.
Wang Qingtong said as he walked, "Su Wo Yi, when our army arrives at the ferry, we will attack with all our strength. In one go, break Du Qi's defense. When the time comes, I will also arrange for people to assist you. You don't have to worry about this. "
Originally, Wang Qingtong's plan was to attack first.
His men followed closely behind.
Now that they had been bombarded, Wang Qingtong had changed his mind.
They would join forces to attack.
When Su Wo Yi heard this, he was very happy. He hoped that the two sides would join forces to attack, and not his soldiers would be cannon fodder.
The armies of both sides hurried on their way.
Rumble!!!
Suddenly, there seemed to be a rumbling sound in the distance behind Wang Qingtong.
This sound was deafening.
Wang Qingtong heard the sound and turned around to look. But when he looked back, he did not find anything. It was just the sound of what had just happened. This made Wang Tongtong have a bad premonition in his heart. He kept feeling that something was wrong.
Su Wo Xie Yi also turned around.
He looked behind him and had a bad premonition.
What's going on?
Why were there rumbling sounds coming from behind?
Su Wo Xia Yi said, "Pingyuan King, there seems to be something wrong with the situation."
Wang Tongtong did not answer. He was still pondering. After pondering for a while, his expression suddenly changed. "Not good, it's the river water. This river water is Xia Xia's weapon of attack. Water attack, they are using a water attack. "
After Su Wo Xie Yi heard this, he looked at the flowing river beside him. The current of the river was clearly much more rapid. It was vast and mighty, and it actually had the feeling of a mighty splash.
"They're coming, they're coming!"
Wang Tongtong stared fixedly behind him. He could already feel the ground trembling.
"Run! Let's run!"
Wang Tongtong looked around and prepared to leave.
However, the surrounding area was rather low-lying. There were no hills or highlands, and there was no place to hide. Especially in this area, which was close to the river, it was in the region of the river.
The river water was rising, and they could not hide.
Su Wo Yi's expression also changed greatly. He looked over and saw the surging river rushing over from afar.
"Damn it!"
Su Wo Xie Yi shouted.
At this moment, he finally understood.
Why did Xia Xia's men set up an ambush on Mount Fuping but only bombed instead of chasing after them? Because Xia Xia's men had long built a dam on the river to store the water. Especially now that it was June, the weather was hot and there was a lot of rain. The river was already in the stage of rising. Now that they were storing the water and releasing it, the river water would be very fierce.
Rumble!
The mighty river water had already rushed down from the top of Mount Fuping.
The river upstream suddenly released the water, and the speed of the water was extremely fast and fierce. In the blink of an eye, it had already approached Wang Tongtong and the others. Whether it was Wang Tongtong, Su Wo Xie Yi, or the rest of the soldiers, they were all washed away by the river water.
Many people were washed away at that moment.
Many people were washed away and fell to the ground.
One by one, the Japanese and Great Qin soldiers were already swaying from side to side.
The situation was very miserable.
Compared to the bombardment, this kind of flood was simply unstoppable. Moreover, it covered a large area and everyone suffered. The whole scene was a mess, and the soldiers were washed away everywhere.
Wang Tongtong, on the other hand, found a nearby tree and hugged the trunk tightly. Only then did he not get soaked and fall to the ground. However, many of the soldiers were left in a mess by the impact.
The whole situation was completely messed up.
Under this wave of surging river water, many soldiers were washed away, and the formation was completely disrupted. Many of them even lost their weapons.
The river water flowed past, but there was still water on the ground.
However, there was no big wave like before.
Wang Tongtong heaved a sigh of relief, but he looked around and saw that the water on the ground was up to his calves. At this moment, he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Today, they were completely defeated.
First, they were bombarded by the bombardment, and then they were flooded. The whole scene was extremely miserable.
Su Wo Xie Yi came in front of Wang Tongtong and said, "Pingyuan King, what should we do now?"
He was drenched from head to toe.
The previous wave of the river water had drenched his entire body, and his hair was in a mess. Because he had fallen to the ground, there was mud on his body, and he looked extremely miserable.
Wang Tongtong looked around and carefully sized up his surroundings.
The soldiers under him were all dumbfounded. How could they fight in this situation?
Fighting was courting death.
Wang Tongtong ordered, "Retreat, we'll retreat immediately. First, the bombardment, then the flood. Next, Xia Xia's army will definitely set up an ambush at the ferry and wait for us to go. Xia Xia's enemy is very difficult to deal with. Now, we'll retreat to the capital. When we get back, we'll use the city walls to resist. "
Su Wo Xie Yi said, "Pingyuan King is wise!"
Wang Tongtong's mind was unprecedentedly calm at this moment. He said again, "Although Xia Xia has arrived, they have been at the ferry port all this time. They can't hold out for long because their food is definitely limited. When we return to the capital, we'll control the food from all sides and forbid anyone from sending food over. When that time comes, Xia Xia will either retreat or attack the capital directly. "
Su Wo Xie Yi gave a thumbs up and praised, "We only need to guard the capital and wait for them to come."
Wang Tongtong said, "That's what I mean."
"Pass down the order, retreat!"
Wang Tongtong gave the order loudly. The messenger beside him received the order and quickly went to arrange things.
Su Wo Xie Yi also gave the order.
The army quickly reorganized and then retreated in another direction. They walked for a long distance before the puddles on the ground gradually reached their heels.
Even so, Su Wo Xie Yi and the rest were all in a daze.
They had lost their fighting spirit from the previous water attack.
The group walked back along the official road and soon began to climb the slope, returning to the Fuping Mountain area. When they returned to the Fuping Mountain area, Wang Tongtong immediately ordered them to hurry up and pass through the foot of Fuping Mountain as soon as possible to avoid being bombarded.
The group hurried along. The soldiers were also panicking, so they did not dare to delay and quickly rushed forward.
When they arrived at the site of the previous bombardment, they were relieved that there was no bombardment. Then, they crossed the area in one breath and continued on their way. At this moment, everyone was relieved.
Wang Tongtong also heaved a long sigh of relief.
At least they had escaped.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier shouted, "Pingyuan King, bad news! A large army has appeared on the official road ahead and is charging in our direction."
Wang Tongtong was stunned when he heard the news.
What was going on?
Why was there an army charging in from behind?
