Chapter 29 Flooded Seventh Army
The Ming army's attacks were very intensive, as if lime powder didn't cost money.

Having said that, this thing does not cost money, but the stock is limited, and every pack you throw out will lose one pack.

Moreover, the quality of the trebuchets was really poor, and several of them were damaged when they were being transported at night. Now that the war has started, there are constant breakdowns, and there are strikes after almost every round.

There are no trees in this place, and there is no place to burn lime. Chen Ying looked at the trebuchets that were constantly on strike and the few lime bombs, and he was very anxious.

"Your Majesty, there are still 26 catapults left, and there are only 50 bags of lime powder left!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands unhurriedly, and said, "If you don't keep one, throw them all out!"

"what?"

Chen Ying was a little at a loss, thinking what to do after throwing it away?
Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked: "Have you noticed that the water level of the Guishui River is much lower today than in the past?"

"what?"

"I sent Chen Huai out last night, didn't you know?"

"what?"

Chen Ying three times in a row, with question marks all over his face.

"Don't worry about it!" Zhu Qizhen was not in the mood to explain to him in detail, but just said, "Do as I want!"

"Uh... yes!"

Chen Ying didn't ask any questions at all, turned around and returned to the position, and continued to command the battle.

"Load, put!"

On the forward position, the two armies were making the last stand. The Ming army threw out all the lime bombs, while the Oirats carried the lime powder and continued to rush forward.

However, people can persist with perseverance, but horses cannot.

The horse's eyes were burned by the dust, and it began to go berserk. The front line became more and more chaotic, causing the rear line to be congested in the river.

Fortunately, the river today is very shallow, not to mention the cavalry, even if the infantry stood in it, the water would barely reach their knees.

Most of the [-] troops were stranded in the river at this time, waiting for the smoke and dust in front of them to disperse before launching a general attack.

If you look upstream along the Guishui River, you will find a Ming army guarding a narrow river channel.

It is Chen Huai's masterpiece to build a two-meter-high dam with stones.

Sometimes, Chen Huai even suspected that he was not here to fight, but to follow the emperor to do construction.

In addition to digging pits, burning kilns, and building dams.

Where is Ping Xiangbo? Isn't this the contractor?
Although he was slightly dissatisfied, when Zhu Qizhen arranged the task, he ran over overnight without saying a word.

Up to now, this dam has been storing water for nearly four hours, and the water level is more than three feet higher than usual, so that the downstream water level drops rapidly.

However, the Oirats focused their attention on the catapults, and didn't care about the changes in the water level at all.

"Uncle, it looks like dumplings are being served in the river, is it alright?"

From this position, looking from top to bottom, every move of the Wala people can be seen clearly.

"What's the hurry, the emperor hasn't given the signal yet, so wait!"

Although Chen Huai said so, he was more anxious than anyone else.

Watching the prey walk into the trap, the feeling is simply burning with anxiety.

Immediately afterwards, a low-pitched horn sounded suddenly from the Ming army's position.

Chen Huai was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered: "Dig the embankment!"

The dam was built temporarily and was extremely weak. It only needed to remove a few stones, and the accumulated water would be enough to collapse the entire dam.

In the Wara position, I also suddenly heard the horn of the Ming army, and a bad thought suddenly flashed in my heart.

He rode on a horse and stood on the river bank watching, but saw that the Ming army began to abandon the catapults and took the initiative to attack.

[-] against [-], and they still choose to take the initiative!

Brain is broken?
Or, the empty city plan has been seen through, and now we can only fight to the death.

Wang Lin stood by Yexian's side all the time, seeing this, he said, "Congratulations to the grand master, the Ming army has no way to retreat, and this battle must be lost!"

"is it?"

Also staring at the battlefield silently, the vanguard has already rushed out of the killing range of the lime powder and is fighting with the Ming army.

The army in the river was still tightly blocked, making it impossible to move an inch.

In the current situation, as long as the front line rushes out, the large troops behind will be able to keep up.

According to the experience of the previous few days, the lime powder of the Ming army is all crudely made, and the purity is extremely low. As long as the eyes, mouth and nose are protected, it is not a big problem to force through the blockade of lime powder.

But the problem is that the war horse is not easy to control. The lime powder burned the eyes of this thing, so it was frightened and went crazy, and it ran wildly.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from a distance.

Also listen first, it seems to be the sound of water.

Suddenly, an ominous premonition flashed in his heart. Turning his head to look, he saw a wave as high as a person rushing down the upper reaches of the Guishui River.

"Hurry up, Ming Jin retreats!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a rush of gongs from the Oala position, which was a signal to retreat.

However, it's too late.

The soldiers in the river channel watched the huge water waves coming towards them.

Whoa!
The impact of the first wave of water is the greatest, and the turbulent water passing by, immediately turned people on their backs, and half of them disappeared in an instant.

Although there were no such exaggerated water waves in the follow-up, the water level of the river rose. It rose rapidly from the knee position of ordinary people to the chest position, and then continued to rise until it reached the top.

All of this happened so fast, most of the Oirats were gathered in the river, and there was no time to evacuate, and these people could hardly swim, and they were washed by the water, and they were frightened to death even if they did not drown.

For a while, the river was full of crying fathers and mothers, and the scene was very miserable.

Since the follow-up troops could not keep up, the vanguard troops were not the opponents of the Ming army at all, and they retreated steadily after being beaten. After hearing the signal to retreat, they were even more unwilling to fight and fled in a hurry.

The Ming army rushed for a while, and stopped when they reached the area covered by lime powder.

In this situation, not only the Wala people, but also the Ming army are dumbfounded.

Although everyone knew that the emperor ordered Chen Huai and others to carry out some secret operation last night, they did not expect such power.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were flooded.

Chen Ying couldn't help but think of a passage in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where the Seventh Army was flooded. It said that when Guan Yu and Pang De were fighting, they couldn't fight at first. Capture Pound alive.

"The emperor's ingenious plan, I admire you!"

Zhu Qizhen is very satisfied with this result. After this battle, he must have suffered heavy losses first, and will not attack again in a short time.

"Pass down my will, withdraw to Juyongguan!"

"Yes!"

The Ming army received the order and quickly assembled and evacuated. At this time, the Wala people were too busy to take care of themselves, so they didn't have the time to manage where the Ming army went.

He also looked at Wang Lin coldly, with murderous coldness in his eyes.

Wang Lin's face was pale, and he said tremblingly, "Teacher, listen to me..."

Ye Xian was furious, and slowly drew out the saber from his waist.

"Grand Master, Great Khan, Your Majesty, don't, don't..."

brush!
A cold light flashed across, and Wang Lin's head fell to the ground.
