    After the order was passed, three pillars of wolf smoke rose into the sky. Thick black smoke pierced the blue sky and was clearly visible for dozens of miles around.

    With the smoke already rising, Yan Liang stopped the defeated troops and reorganized their formation to wait.

    In the world, even the most elite soldiers will become extremely fragile when they are defeated. Their originally indestructible fighting spirit will become extremely fragile.

    These five to six thousand Yan Jiajun athletes ran for more than ten miles in a row. Their original fighting spirit had long since disappeared with the retreat, and they only anxiously hoped to escape from the dangerous situation as soon as possible.

    But they never expected that their lord would suddenly stop retreating and actually planned to use the panic to reorganize their formation to meet the enemy who was slowly approaching.

    Ma Yunlu was a little panicked, and Zhang He was also puzzled. All the generals were secretly wondering what happened to the originally powerful and heroic lord, how could he repeatedly make such military moves that violated common sense in the art of war.

    In their panic, they forgot for a moment that their lord was best at playing cards that did not follow common sense.

    When Zhang He and other generals saw Yan Liang's order to set off the smoke, they were still wondering whether Yan Liang had hidden an ambush. However, as time went by, seeing that Yuan's army was halfway across the river, but there was still no sign of the ambush, the generals were already uneasy.  It became more and more urgent.

    "General, it would be bad if we wait until all Yuan's troops have crossed the river. Why don't we rush up now and attack that boy Yuan Tan with a half-cross."

    Ma Yunlu was also well versed in the art of war, so he breathlessly gave Yan Liang advice.

    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang He said: "The water is very shallow, less than knee-deep, and Yuan Jun's formation has not moved. Even a half-crossing attack may not be effective, my lord. Whether to fight or retreat, you must make a decision quickly."

    Although Zhang He did not say it explicitly, his meaning was clear. He still suggested withdrawing troops.

    Yan Liang had a nonchalant look on his face, holding a long knife in his arms, and sneered: "Why are you so anxious? The smoke has been lit. Please calm down and watch a free show."

    Yan Liang¡¯s expression and words were still natural and calm, and the implication behind his words was that he already had a plan to defeat the enemy.

    Zhang He and other generals could not say anything else. They could only suppress their suspicion and uneasiness, looking at Yuan Jun who was crossing the river from a distance, wondering what Yan Liang's clever plan would be.

    A few hundred steps away.  Yuan Tan sat on his tall horse and climbed onto the south bank without getting wet.

    As soon as his Chinese army landed, two-thirds of the troops and horses had crossed the river. Yuan Tan ordered the troops and horses that had landed to slow down and not to disrupt the formation. He only waited for all the troops and horses behind to get ashore.  Then launch a pursuit against the enemy.

    When Yuan Tan crossed the river, he was worried that Yan Liang had fled away, but when he raised his head and looked far away, he smiled.

    Just a few hundred steps away, Yuan Tan saw it.  Yan Liang and his thousands of defeated troops turned back.  They were waiting in formation, as if they were planning to fight him to the death.

    "Yan Liang, you thief, even if you are a bit brave, you haven't escaped yet. Very good. I will wait until all the king's army comes ashore, and then I will take care of you"

    When Yuan Tan sneered secretly, he stationed his horse on the shore, raised his head and waited for his rear troops to come ashore.

    That handsome face was full of pride and nobility. At this time, Yuan Tan finally saw the hope of defeating Yan Liang.

    After being defeated so many times, all the hatred can finally be wiped out today, and the expressions on that pair are like the tide.

    Suddenly, Yuan Tan's ears moved, and he seemed to hear some strange noise at an inadvertent moment.

    That subtle sound sounded like the sound of a waterfall across the mountain. It was approaching from far to near. In just a blink of an eye, it sounded like the sound of rushing water.

    In my heart, an ominous premonition suddenly emerged.

    The sound seemed to come from the upper reaches of Confusing Water. Yuan Tan subconsciously raised his head and looked upstream.

    Suddenly, Yuan Tan's eyes opened wide, and endless horror shot out from his eyes like flames. He seemed to have seen something terrifying that he had never seen before.

    All the pride and pride on his face disappeared in an instant, leaving only the stunned horror.

    Upstream, a flood peak was like a crazy giant beast in the water, roaring and galloping, rushing towards the downstream.

    When Yuan Tan saw the flood peak, the 30,000 soldiers of Yuan's army also saw it for the first time. Yuan's army, which was originally in good morale, suddenly exploded.

    The soldiers of Yuan Army, who were still in the river, didn't care about their formation. They dropped their weapons and flags and fled to the shore desperately.

    ????????????? Those Yuan troops who had landed ashore dispersed with a bang, scurrying around for fear of being swept away by the torrent that surged ashore.

    Thirty thousand Yuan Jun, transferThe time became a mess.

    Yuan Tan could have ridden his horse away from the shore, but he was filled with shock and confusion. He even said in shock: "How is this possible? How can there be a sudden flood in the middle of winter"

    Not only Yuan Tan, but all Yuan Jun, including Xin Ping, are also at a loss.

    "It is the depth of winter now, and the water levels of all river systems in the world have dropped. There is no rain now. How could a torrent suddenly surge upstream? This is simply a strange thing that has never been seen before.

    Xin Ping's thoughts were rolling as he was running away. Suddenly, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, as if he had realized the secret.

    ¡°So that¡¯s it, Yan Liang is actually¡±

    When Xin Ping woke up in surprise, it was too late. The flood peak, carrying the power of nature, had rushed towards him in the blink of an eye.

    There were screams and screams, and the roaring waves suddenly rose up in an instant, and the chest-high torrent crashed into more than ten thousand Yuan's troops in the river.

    Although the torrent was only as high as the chest, it was bone-chilling cold, and with the force of a dive upstream, it knocked more than ten thousand Yuan Jun into the water in the blink of an eye. The violent current swept away countless howling bodies, rushing endlessly.  Continue to roll downstream.

    The torrent came and went quickly. After a while, the peak of the torrent passed, but it left a mess behind.

    Nearly half of the more than 10,000 Yuan troops who had not yet reached the shore were swept away by the torrent, while the other half were howling and rolling in the biting water like ants whose nests had been washed away by rain.

    Those Yuan soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the rush of the torrent were scattered on the bank of the water in chaos, looking at their comrades who suffered tragic injuries with lingering fear, and for a moment they forgot to rescue them.

    Thirty thousand Yuan's troops, the seemingly indestructible iron formation, fell apart.

    Yuan Tan gasped for breath and glanced at his embarrassed soldiers in shock. His eyes were full of horror. He could hardly believe what was happening in front of him. He thought he had an illusion.

    "A few hundred steps away, the officers and soldiers of the Yan Family Army who watched the show of flooding against Yuan's army were dumbfounded.

    It was only then that Zhang He and Ma Yunlu finally understood why Yan Liang was so confident, why he deliberately outnumbered the enemy, and why he deliberately lost to Yuan Tan.

    It turns out that all Yan Liang's abnormal actions were all to lure Yuan Tan to Huoshui, and use this torrent to easily destroy Yuan Tan's seemingly indestructible iron formation.

    However, just after Ma Yunlu and others understood Yan Liang's intention, they immediately fell into new surprise and confusion.

    "In the middle of winter, my lord can predict the sudden flood. My lord is really, really"

    Zhang He was also extremely surprised. He couldn't find the right words to describe Yan Liang's clever plan.

    Because he felt that Yan Liang could predict in advance the winter floods, something that would rarely happen in hundreds of years. Such incredible foresight could no longer be described as magical calculations.

    Faced with the exclamations of his subordinates, Yan Liang only smiled and pointed his horsewhip at the smoke rising into the sky, "There will be no floods in the winter. Have you all forgotten why I sent the signal to Xu Yuanzhi?  "

    Yan Liang didn¡¯t reveal the secret, he only gave them hints.

    Zhang He also turned his eyes to the black smoke rising into the sky, his mind was racing, and he was carefully considering the strangeness in it. His expression suddenly shook, as if he had woken up from a dream.

    "Could it be that my lord has ordered Yuan Zhi to dam the river upstream in advance, and now the signal is sent to order Yuan Zhi to dig the dam and release water to flood Yuan's army?"

    Yan Liang nodded slightly, acquiescing to what Zhang He said.

    As early as the night before the decisive battle, Yan Liang secretly ordered Xu Shu to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to rush to the upper reaches of Huoshui River in advance, blocking the water flow with mud bags, so that the water level, which was originally waist high, dropped to only his knees.

    When Yuan Tan thought the water was shallow and waded across the river with confidence, Yan Liang sent a signal and ordered Xu Shu upstream to open the mud dam and release water to flood Yuan Jun who was halfway across the river.

    It is not easy to block the river water with mud bags. If it is placed in the river with rich water in the south of the Yangtze River, this plan may not be possible.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But the Huoshui is located in the Central Plains, and the water potential is not urgent in the first place. However, during the high weather season, the water power will be even weaker. It is precisely because of the favorable weather and location that this plan can have some miraculous effects.

    This is what Xu Shu offered to Yan Liang that day, a plan to defeat the enemy effortlessly.

    When Zhang He and others finally came to their senses, they all expressed their unprecedented admiration at Yan Liang, thinking that their lord could use the right time and place to such an extreme.

    Facing the exclamation of everyone, Yan Liang only said: "This is a wonderful idea proposed by Yuan Zhi. Now that Yuan Zhi's mission has been completed, let's continueNow, it¡¯s time to see your performance.  "

    After saying this, Yan Liang's razor-sharp gaze was already directed at Yuan Jun, who was hundreds of steps away.

    Not long ago, the seemingly powerful army that was chasing them with great force had now turned into drowned chickens in the blink of an eye. They were drowning, panicking, and fleeing.  Extreme chaos.

    Yan Liang's face was filled with cold murderous intent, and the depressed mood of the soldiers around him was suddenly ignited, turning into a raging fire in the blink of an eye.

    "The whole army goes out and kills all these drowned rats for me¡ª¡ª"

    Yan Liang shouted loudly, and slashed his sword sharply.

    Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Yan family whose fighting spirit was soaring to the extreme, with boiling blood and bloodthirsty madness, shouted and charged towards the frightened enemy.

    The weak one who was originally being chased began to counterattack, and the offensive and defensive momentum was reversed.

    Yuan Tan, who was among the rebels, had just recovered from the torrent. When he turned around, he suddenly saw Yan Liang's army rushing towards him. Its momentum was even more violent than the torrent. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Tan's heart fell into a deeper and deeper state.  The abyss of terror.

    "Retreat, the whole army retreats -" With a loud shout, Yuan Tan turned his horse to go ahead and fled towards the other side of the river.
