In the early morning, on the west side of Xiaoxian County, on the north bank of Huoshui, and on the edge of several mounds, the Qi army retreated west overnight formed a round formation to try to resist the Liang cavalry that was pursuing.

Because the incident happened suddenly, some supplies were too late to form a carriage formation and were still in a long line and slumped by the road.

Peng Jun, who led his army to pursue, commanded his subordinates to surround these Qi troops who had broken back, delaying time as much as possible, and when the infantry arrived, they could annihilate the enemy in front of them.

He was guarding Xiaoxian and was besieged by the Qi army for more than half a month. He was full of anger. Now the Qi army besieged Xiaoxian suddenly withdrew its troops overnight. The troops that were cut off from behind were just used to relieve the fire.

However, the enemy may cross the river to the south bank at any time.

It is already summer now, but the water level of the harvest was very low in the past, and people can cross the river by hiking.

Therefore, Peng Jun deliberately exposed the gap in the south, luring these Qi soldiers who were about to fall into desperate situations to rush south, and then he followed and killed him.

In the rear, a large number of infantry were approaching, and flags were waving, leaving little time for the Qi army.

Seeing that the infantry was about to arrive, a huge whistling sound suddenly came from the water. Peng Jun, who was riding on the horse, looked up and saw a large number of birds rising upstream.

It seems to be something disturbed.

"Go! Cross the river and reach the southern bank highland!"

Without hesitation, he immediately led his subordinates to cross the river. There was a high ground far away on the south bank. At this time, the troops who formed a formation also ran to the mound next to them.

They looked at Liangqin who fled across the river in a hurry, and then looked at the infantry walking in the wilderness in the east, and gloated.

Once the flood rushes, the cavalry may be able to escape, but the infantry cannot escape.

This time, our side retreated overnight was actually a long-planned strategy. The official army built a dam upstream of the water to store water, and then deliberately retreated, leading the Liang army out of the city to chase after it.

When I chased here, the surroundings were empty, and the upstream broke the dam and released water. The water roared and the flat ground could rise at least nearly one meter high.

The main force who retreated first had moved to a safe high ground. After they were cut off, there were only a few higher mounds on the north shore to hide from the flood.

As for the south bank, these Liang cavalry may be able to run over now, and the infantry that followed was only dead.

After a while, the flood rushed over, like a white wall, sweeping across the water coast.

The Qi soldiers standing on the high mound were prepared, and even though they were prepared, they could not help but be frightened when they saw the flood rushing.

I saw the Liang cavalry who were rushing to take refuge in panic, and just ran to the south bank high ground before the flood rushed over.

As for the infantry chasing in the east, where can there be a place to hide?

The water rushed over quickly, and the water level rose rapidly, instantly flooding most of the mound where Qi soldiers were located, and the feet of the soldiers on the periphery were wet with waves.

The Liang infantry in the wilderness was washed away by the flood, and the flags were rolled up by the water and disappeared without a trace.

"This time, I'm afraid there were thousands of soldiers feeding fish and turtles!"

"Let you chase after you, let you chase after you, now most of the casualties are killed or injured!"

The Qi soldiers laughed loudly, even if the Liang cavalry who escaped by chance on the south bank could not hear it, they would laugh out loud.

On the high ground of the south bank, Peng Jun looked at the surging water in front of him, and vaguely heard the cheers of the soldiers of the Tumotuo on the north bank. He looked at the countless flags that disappeared into the water in the east, and could only pray secretly.

The soldiers who were praying to drive the cart, the inflatable sheepskin bags on their bodies were useful. Don’t be swept into the bottom of the water and turned into fish and turtles.

As for the vehicles that were full of flags and dragged brooms, they were washed away by the water, it was not a pity.

A group of people smiled and said, "Master Lang, these birds are really holding back their water. They want to attack the water. Unfortunately, we are ready."

Peng Jun sneered: "Nonsense, now the rain is getting more and more, and the water level of the harvest has dropped abnormally. Do they think we have never seen the land ducks in the river?"

Every summer and autumn, the Po water is prone to heavy water, so Pengjun, like many people in Poyang, is very sensitive to the height of the river water level.

Not to mention that Li Li, who often attacks with water, repeatedly instructed him to march, fight and camp near the river, so he must be careful not to be flooded by water, so Peng Jun became more careful.

He guarded Xiao County, which was right next to the Huo Water. He has paid great attention to the changes in the water level of Huo Water in the past year.

After the enemy attacked, the water level suddenly dropped, and Peng Jun knew that the other party must build a dam upstream to store water.

The flood cannot destroy the brick wall, so the other party does this to "pull out of the hole".

He used a strategy to lead his troops out of the city and walked in the wilderness. At that time, he encountered a flood and had no place to hide.

When Peng Jun was in office, he sent people to find out the nearby terrain and knew that there were higher mounds and high ground here, so he was confident that he could use his plan and let the other party release the water.

There is a secret stronghold equipped with a thousand-mile mirror to convey information between Xiaoxian and Pengcheng (Hanshan), so Peng Jun learned not long ago that reinforcements (cavalry) were coming soon.

Now that Qi army released the water, it was like a snake coming out of a hole.

......

The flood receded, and the Qi army made a comeback. In the afternoon of the same day, it returned to the western suburbs of Xiao County.

The main general Dongfang Lao looked at the Xiaoxian wall in the distance and felt a little regretful: the Liang army in Xiaoxian who was pursuing him out of the city would definitely have suffered more than half of the casualties when the flood was stormed, but unfortunately the cavalry ran away.

However, the pursuing infantry was washed away by the flood, and the other party might not have enough troops to defend the city.

Tomorrow morning, our side will have to attack the city with all its might, and maybe it will be able to capture it within a few days. But I don’t know if reinforcements will be sent from Pengcheng, so Dongfang didn’t dare to take it lightly.

The soldiers camped again. He was patrolling the camp and was very satisfied when he saw the morale was high.

The emperor made arrangements to lure the snake out of the cave this time and cause a heavy blow to the Liang army in Xuzhou, but the "Li thief" who guarded Xuzhou may not be so easy to deal with.

Dongfang Lao has fought for many years and is not afraid of fighting. But he believes that he cannot do it recklessly in wars. If he is not too scheming, he will easily be plotted against.

There is a plain around Xiaoxian, only a hundred miles away from Peixian and only fifty or sixty miles away from Hanshan. Once the Liang army gathers cavalry to pounce on Xiaoxian, his troops will not be able to escape.

Fortunately, Pei County was surrounded by friendly troops. Because the Liang army divided the troops to defend, they attacked Northern Xuzhou and wanted to rescue Xiao County. The troops may be insufficient, and some cavalry might be sent.

Even if it was just some cavalry, he thought he should be careful.

Although the Southern Dynasties have relatively few cavalry, Gao Yue, the King of Qinghe, was defeated and captured by the enemy cavalry because of his carelessness. There is such a precedent that Old Dongfang would not be too arrogant.

He has fought for decades and knows that once a cavalry is used well, it will be effective in making a big move.

For example, his former husband Gao Aocao was a powerful general who used cavalry very skillfully. In the battle of Hanling, which determined the fate of Gao and Erzhu, Gao Aocao attacked Erzhu Zhao with thousands of cavalry and turned the situation around.

At that time, Dongfang Lao, who was a unit, followed Langzhu to charge and experienced the collision of two cavalrymen. Gao Yue, who performed well in that battle, was later successfully attacked by Liang's cavalry, which shows that the strength of the Liang army cannot be underestimated.

While thinking, the sound of horns sounded in the northeast direction. It was a cavalry guarding the outside, reminding the camp that there were enemies approaching.

Old Dongfang heard the sound of the horn and quickly ordered the entire army to be on guard.

The camp was busy, and the infantry went to get weapons and then began to form formations based on obstacles, while the cavalry began to gather, preparing to fight against the uninvited guests.

After a while, dust broke out in the northeast, and a large number of cavalry rushed towards this side.

The Ranger, who was walking on the periphery, bought valuable preparation time for his side, and now he tried his best to approach the team.

The flying dust was getting wider and wider, and there were soldiers leaving the city in Xiaoxian. When Dongfang Lao saw this, he felt a chill on his back:

Northeast direction? Could it be that Pei County decided the winner?

Now we are going to attack Xiaoxian defenders inside and outside?

At this point, there was no one to confront each other head-on. In order to gain time for the infantry formation, Dongfang Lao led his troops and other cavalry to fight.

He followed Gao Aocao for many years and practiced cavalry skills. Most of his subordinates were heroes from Hebei. When it comes to cavalry warfare, he was not afraid of the poor cavalry of the Southern Army.

No matter how many sheep there are, they can't beat the wolf, so I'll accept your head!
