Chapter 5795 Digging the Dam

.

Yingzhou, also known as Yingzhou, Guanzhou, and Zhengzhou.

Located on the south bank of the Huangyan River, it is less than 500 miles away from Luoyang in the west.

They are like the twin stars shining on the Huangyan River, the gateway to the Central Plains, and the throat of the north and the south.

On the 28th, at noon.

An Wenxiu personally led the main forces of the four legions of madmen, giants, skeletons, and the netherworld, a total of 920,000 people, and appeared on the endless plain.

In front of him was the shivering ancient water city.

From a distance, it seemed that the riverbed of the Huangyan River hanging alone on the horizon could be seen.

The vanguard army of the heavens saw that the main force had arrived, and changed the previous weak offensive and became very fierce.

An Wenxiu also immediately allocated 30,000 madmen and giant legions to join the battle.

At this moment, there were still tens of thousands of human soldiers and horses in the city. Facing the endless heavenly army, everyone was determined to die.

However, the strength was too different. Less than an hour after the battle, the thousand-year-old city on the water was burned down by the heavenly army.

All 70,000 soldiers on earth died in the battle.

The heavenly army advanced southward. According to intelligence, there were still some soldiers on earth near the river bank, as well as many civilians crossing the river.

An Wenxiu's troops were short of food and grass, so they had to capture these two-legged sheep and chop them up to serve as rations for the army.

But soon, a military report came from the front.

"General, the Huangyan River is ahead, and there is a Zhao-character general flag on the river bank!"

"Zhao-character general flag? Who is it?"

"There is a special rolling cloud pattern on the general flag. It is Zhao Xianfeng, the old general of the cavalry regiment in the human world more than ten years ago!"

"Zhao Xianfeng?"

An Wenxiu's face sank slightly when he heard this name.

More than ten years ago, in the Battle of Eagle's Beak Cliff, the names of five mortals on earth were known to the heavens.

Zhao Xianfeng, Zhao Zi'an.

Zhao Shiqu, Yang Zhentian.

And Yang Sanlang, who would rather die than surrender.

At that time, Zhao Xianfeng led more than 10 million light and heavy cavalrymen to almost completely wipe out the hundreds of thousands of Storm Legion led by Phantom in the southern border wilderness.

After this battle, the old general retired behind the scenes because of his old age, and pushed his son Zhao Zi'an to the front.

According to intelligence, Zhao Xianfeng has been living in the capital for more than ten years.

An Wenxiu thought that Zhao Xianfeng had died for his country when the capital was broken, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

He didn't hesitate and immediately rode the six-legged beast to the south.

After a while, he came to the south of Shuishang Town.

In front of him was the high Huangyan River embankment, and thirteen huge Zhao character general flags were inserted on the river embankment and fluttered in the wind, which was very eye-catching.

Under the general flag, there were less than 10,000 human soldiers.

These soldiers did not wear armor, almost all of them were bare-chested, with white scarves on their heads and long swords in their hands.

To the north was the dark army of the heavenly realm.

The two sides confronted each other less than two miles apart.

An Wenxiu rode out on a beast.

He looked up.

As expected, he saw an old man standing under the general flag.

He said in a loud voice: "Is it General Zhao Xianfeng, the commander of the human world, who is ahead?"

Zhao Xianfeng walked out slowly and took a few steps forward.

Someone handed him a sound transmission stone.

He held the sound transmission stone and said slowly: "It is me, the commander. You are An Wenxiu, right?"

An Wenxiu said: "Yes! It turned out to be General Zhao. I am sorry! I wonder if General Zhao is willing to talk to me!"

Zhao Xianfeng smiled and said: "Okay."

Neither of them brought any guards or rode mounts, and slowly walked out of the two armies.

Came between the two armies.

Although An Wenxiu was a cultivator, his cultivation was not high.

His main occupation was a soldier.

Although Phantom was defeated in the Wasteland War more than ten years ago, this did not affect An Wenxiu's admiration for Zhao Xianfeng.

Zhao Xianfeng's hair was white at this moment, but he still stood straight.

Looking at An Wenxiu, he looked like a young man in his twenties or thirties.

The old man and the young man stared at each other.

An Wenxiu said, "Is General Zhao waiting for me here?"

Zhao Xianfeng nodded and said, "Yes."

An Wenxiu smiled and said, "General Zhao is making a fuss by using 70,000 soldiers to attract me here. As long as the old general says a word, I will definitely put everything aside and come to the appointment."

Zhao Xianfeng saw that An Wenxiu was elegant and did not have any arrogant intentions.

He nodded slightly and said, "It is not unfair that Xu Kai lost to you. You are indeed a character."

An Wenxiu clasped his fists slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, old general. Old general, now the situation in the world is gone, why don't you give up the dark and join the light and enter my heaven. An promises that I will never treat you badly."

Zhao Xianfeng showed a hint of mockery on his old face.

He said, "Commander An, you are joking. I am a human being, commanding three armies. How can I surrender to the heaven?

Besides, almost all of my sons and grandsons were killed by the soldiers of the heaven. I will never recognize the enemy as my father and slaughter my compatriots."

An Wenxiu frowned slightly.

He thought Zhao Xianfeng was waiting for him here because he wanted to surrender to the heaven.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xianfeng was so determined.

An Wenxiu snorted and said, "General Zhao, since you are unwilling to surrender, what is the point of staying here?

Seventy thousand troops were slaughtered in less than half a day. Do you think the thousands of soldiers behind you can stop my heavenly army from moving south?

You are old.

It is not more than ten years ago now. You don't have tens of millions of cavalry to mobilize.

I will ask you one last question, surrender or not."

Zhao Xianfeng shook his head and said, "I would rather die than surrender."

An Wenxiu's expression turned cold.

The best thing is to be able to recruit Zhao Xianfeng to surrender. Since it is impossible to recruit Zhao Xianfeng, capturing him is also a great achievement.

Zhao Xianfeng is Zhao Zian's father, and using this as a threat will surely make Zhao Zian submit.

When An Wenxiu was about to take action, Zhao Xianfeng suddenly said: "Commander An, don't you want to know why I brought you here? Why do you have the confidence to stop your progress?"

An Wenxiu looked around. At this moment, both sides' troops were hundreds of feet away.

Zhao Xianfeng was not a monk, and An Wenxiu could capture him at any time.

He said: "Okay, I would like to hear how General Zhao can turn things around and stop my million-strong army."

Zhao Xianfeng waved behind him.

The royal monk who had been protecting Zhao Xianfeng took out a notice from his arms.

Read it aloud.

"In the past, bandits were wreaking havoc, causing a loss of lives, causing rivers of blood to flow from the people, and the late emperor died a heroic death for his country. Today, I, Zhao Xianfeng, dig a dike here to block the enemy, hoping to break its front and protect the country and the country.

Water is both soft and strong. Dig embankments to divert water, use softness to overcome hardness, and rebels will be trapped in it. However, this is not an easy task and requires brave men to risk their lives and commit hardships. All my people should share the same hatred of the enemy and face the national calamity together.

The waves rolled back and the waves surged. Beheading the enemy, capturing the enemy's flag, drinking the enemy's blood, this is the glory of our soldiers, and this is the welfare of my people.

…”

The tragic sound slowly sounded on both sides of the Huangyan River.

The more An Wenxiu listened, the more something was wrong.

After a moment, his face changed wildly, he pointed at Zhao Xianfeng and shouted angrily: "You...you want to dig up the Huangyan River embankment? How brave are you! Aren't you afraid of being a sinner for the ages?"

Zhao Xianfeng smiled and said: "Now that civilization is about to be destroyed by you, what is the reputation of my Zhao Xianfeng?"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the river embankment.

At this moment, An Wenxiu had no intention of capturing Zhao Xianfeng.

He used his body skills to rush towards the direction of the heavenly army and shouted sternly: "Retreat! The whole army retreats! Retreat quickly!"

The reason why we chose to cross the river at the Yingzhou section is because the Huangyan River turns a corner here and the river channel is narrow, making it easy to cross the river.

But the narrowness of the river means that the water flow is fast.

At this moment, nearly one million celestial troops were stationed below the river embankment.

Once the embankment is dug, the rolling river water will flow down.

There are endless plains for hundreds of miles, and you can't hide even if you want to!

The heavenly army was in chaos.

I want to stay away from this place.

At this moment, Zhao Xianfeng had arrived at the river embankment.

After the royal monk finished reading the notice, he put it in his arms.

He knelt down to Zhao Xianfeng and kowtowed three times respectfully.

Said "Shuai Zhao, take care."

Then Yukong flew up and flew towards Jinling in the south. Zhao Xianfeng said without any hesitation: "Let's light the fire."
