Chapter 161 Something is wrong

At dawn, the men in the military camp began to get busy. Although most people have no idea of ​​eating breakfast these days, generals at all levels have to eat something to suffice their stomachs when they wake up in the morning. If they are not good, they have to drink some hot water or wash their faces with hot water, so they have to start boiling water and cooking at dawn.

Wujing Village stands on the banks of the Hengpu Water. Because the Hengpu Water flows from northeast to southwest, Chen Jun sets up villages on both sides of the Hengpu Water and connects them with floating bridges.

Several chefs carried large wooden barrels out of the camp and fetched water to the riverside to carry back. As a result, they slowed down until they finally stopped and watched the riverside talking.

"What's wrong? Why don't you get water?"

The little leader following behind shouted, seeing that the sky was getting darker and if he didn't fetch water, he would delay Shangguan's use of water in a while, and they would be in trouble.

"Boss, it's hard to make water, something is wrong."

"What does it mean to be difficult to fight? What is something wrong? Just stand by the river... Alas?"

The little leader's speech came to an abrupt end because he saw that there was a problem with the Hengpu water in front of him: the water level was very low, which was in sharp contrast to yesterday.

Before making dinner last night, it was very convenient for the chefs to fetch water by the river, and the water level of Hengpu water is also normal. Now, because the water level is obviously low, if you want to fetch water, you have to walk into the large mud exposed on the shore.

The muddy by the river will make your feet dirty, and it will be wet and slippery, so it is easy to slip. People carry buckets filled with water, so where can they walk back to the shore safely?

"Silly, go up the pontoon bridge and go to the middle of the pontoon bridge to get water!"

"oh."

The chefs came to their senses and walked to the floating bridge to fetch water. The floating bridge was built to connect the camps on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The reason for building camps on both sides of the Hengpu River was to guard against the attack of the northern enemy.

The Dazhai, which Chen Jun established to reinforce Dayu Ridge, was located on the north bank of the Hengpu River, so the Wujing Village in the northeast was naturally also on the north bank of the Hengpu River.

However, the downstream Shixing City is located on the south bank of the Hengpu River, and the Wujing defenders have to take into account the south bank, so as not to have the Zhou army come, and set up a village on the south bank to confront each other and then send troops to the south bank to the downstream. Shixing is a little troublesome.

Therefore, in order to take into account the north and south, Chen Jun set up villages on the north and south banks of the Hengpu River. The floating bridge connected between the two villages not only facilitates mobilization of troops, but also a chain across the Hengpu River, preventing people from attacking from the waterway by boat.

Of course, it also makes it convenient for the chefs to fetch water.

The water level suddenly dropped and the water couldn't be caught? Then we walked on the pontoon bridge and went to the central river of Hengpu Water!

The so-called wisdom is generated in a hurry, and the little leader couldn't help but feel proud. He felt that he was too smart.

Each bucket was filled with water, and the chefs carried the water back, and no one thought about why the water level suddenly dropped, because they were only responsible for fetching water, so what should they do if they wanted to do so much?

Looking up the tower, the sentry was changing guards. The soldiers who had been staying up all night were yawning down the stairs. The sleepy replacement climbed up the stairs. When they were about to climb to the top, they heard a "bang" sound in their ears.

Looking in the sound, there was an east-west flying towards him from the north side of the camp, as if carrying a flame. Before he could come back to his senses, the thing passed by the tower and drew an arc over the camp, landing on an open space in the camp, splashing out some sparks.

Some soldiers who had already woken up early in the camp were frightened when they saw the movement. Before they could react, several more fireballs flew in from outside.

"Enemy attack!"

The harsh gong sounded, and the trumpet sounded afterwards. It was the time when people were most sleepy. Many soldiers were awakened while sleeping, and rushed out with weapons before they even finished their clothes.

In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, Chen Jun soldiers were waiting for the opportunity to sleep and kept their weapons by their side, so they could run out with weapons when the gong sounded. In less than a while, a large number of soldiers rushed to the camp and began to be on guard.

Someone prepared various combat equipment in the camp, and everyone was on guard for a while, but there was no movement outside.

In the morning light, the woods on the north side looked dark and seemed to be hiding thousands of troops, but even if there were people in ambush, they would have to pay a price to get close to the camp.

The camp and the woods have been cut down into open space. If the enemy wants to get close, Chen Jun’s crossbowmen can shoot arrows to kill the enemy at nearly a hundred steps away.

The premise is that there are enemies, but now there is no one outside the camp.

The soldiers in the north and south villages were guarding behind the camp and looking outside, holding various weapons in their hands, but many of them were dressed thinly and shivering in the cold wind. After a while, sneezing sounds came one after another.

Someone wanted to go back to the camp to add clothes, but he did not dare to leave without permission, so he could only struggle. Seeing this, a general was thinking about whether to let the soldiers go back and add clothes in turn, but he felt something was wrong outside the camp.

Something is wrong? I can't say it, but I feel something is wrong when I look outside.

The guard walked up to the camp and frowned as he looked at the outside of the camp. He had heard from his subordinates about the situation just now. It seemed that someone was attacking him, in order to disrupt the morale of the army.

"Is there any news coming from Jiudu?"

"During the festival, no news came from General Wang."

During the festival, the lower-level generals are the title of senior generals, which is more respectful than the general's general's general. The guard looked carefully outside the camp and suddenly his expression changed:

"What's going on with the Hengpu water? Why has the water level become so low... Ah, someone built a dam upstream to block the water, it's a water attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge roar came from the upstream, as if thousands of troops rushed towards him with all their might. Suddenly, many birds flew out of the woods, gathered in groups, and flew into the air in panic.

The earth was trembling, and the Chen army soldiers on the camp bar felt their feet swaying. The guards roared at the top of their lungs and "running to the high place". But for a moment, no one could react, and many people were at a loss by the loud noise.

The reason why Chen Jun set up a camp by the water was to defend Wujing and block the Hengpu water. The second was to facilitate water withdrawal, that is, to ensure that there is a water source. Since he set up a camp by the water, he had to consider the terrain.

The Chenjun Water Village on both sides of the north and south sides are in a higher terrain by the water. First, to prevent the water level from rising sharply after heavy rain, soaking the camp. Second, to prevent someone from attacking the water upstream, but in fact, no one thinks there will be attacking the water upstream, because the water in Hengpu is very wide, and it is not possible to build a dam to block the water in one day.

Not to mention that the upper reaches of the country also had its own troops camped and camped. There were really enemy troops attacking. The lower reaches of the country had enough time to deal with it. As a result...

Yesterday evening, the water level of Hengpu water was still normal. Why was it blocked by someone overnight? By the beginning of this morning, a water attack came?

"Big water, so big water!!"

In the midst of exclamation, the soldiers of Chen Jun looked at the upper reaches of the Hengpu Water. They saw the dense forests on both sides of the river falling one after another. They could vaguely see the white water spreading, like a long knife sweeping towards each other. Wherever they went, they were swallowed up, whether it was trees or stones.

The broad edge of this long sword can already affect most areas of the camps on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Seeing the big water whistling in front of you, the soldiers woke up as if they were dreaming: "The big water is here!! Run!"

Many people jumped off the camp and ran towards the nearest high place - the location of the camp. It is the highest place in their camps. When choosing a site, water issues are considered. Whether it is water attack or heavy rain, the river water will surge, and it is not easy to be flooded there.

The soldiers rolled and crawled towards the high ground where they had just run out of the camp. It was the only place to protect themselves from escaping. If they had known this, they would have...

Wait! Could it be that someone did the attack just now on purpose? It was to lead them down from the high ground to guard the fence?

There were few people who could figure out the key points. Everyone tried their best to run to the tent, but most people could no longer run because the flood had arrived.
