Chapter 1246 1246: A big bet [asking for monthly votes]
With this guarantee, what else can you not dare to do?
Qian Yong immediately said boldly: "Well, as long as you say Ning Tunan, I will accompany you to the end and make a big bet with you! This time, I will not only bet my wealth and life, but also my last calf's nose." ! If you can win, I’ll celebrate!”
It was not easy to say this from Qian Yong's mouth.
Qian Yong was far too smooth to be a traditional martial artist. His social circle was very cautious and picky. There were not many people in the civil and military dynasty who could entertain him as a host. "Ning Yan" smiled and said: "Once a word has been said, it is difficult for a horse to chase you. The general has decided to treat you."
The confidence in his words made Kang Shi look at him with suspicion.
To be honest, he, a big gambler, was not 100% sure, but seeing that "Ning Yan" was confident, he felt at ease and immediately accepted the invitation. The originally solemn atmosphere relaxed with a few words, and the tension disappeared.
“Ning Yan” is naturally confident.
Just as she guessed, Mei Meng and the Southwest Alliance were not really of the same mind. Even before appearing in battle this time, they risked deceiving the emperor. Just because they were demoted last time, Mei Meng thanked guests behind closed doors and was plotted against them. Cui Zhi's conflict was also brought to the surface, and a situation of him and not her appeared vaguely. The leader of the Qi Kingdom fell to the aristocratic family camp, and he needed the two major helpers Cui Zhi brought in to help him - Gongyang Yongye and Luo Yuan. Naturally, he had to make a certain separation from Mei Meng.
In this Dragon Slaying Bureau, Mei Meng was entrusted with the responsibility of supervising the country.
It is said that he is a supervisor of the country, and the people on his left and right are all from the Qi family. Their relationship with Mei Mengming can only be considered reasonable, and she has no real power in her hands. With the tacit consent of the leader of Qi State, Mei Meng was half-empty.
With the diminished right to speak in the court, Mei Meng simply fell ill.
No matter who comes to the door, the door is closed.
No one knew that Mei Meng would sneak out.
When the guard saw her, his expression showed a moment of shock: "Mei Xiang is not here...why are you here?"
The tone is vaguely wary and suspicious.
Mei Meng should not appear in front of him at this moment.
"My identity today is not Prime Minister Mei. The general only regards me as a knight-errant." In the dead of night, Mei Meng was wearing a black cloak, with a wide hood covering most of her face, only revealing a trace of her iconic red lips. "I am today The general can choose to listen or not to listen. The choice lies with the general."
The guard did not give an accurate choice: "Please tell me, Prime Minister Mei."
"Tonight, Kang State is very likely to use water to attack the camp at night. The water has surged and spread to both sides of the bank. The general has been prepared in advance."
The guard was almost amused by these words.
"Water attack? Tonight? Prime Minister Mei, I have always respected you, but your words are too absurd. Tonight the stars and the moon are bright, there is no wind, rain or fog. How can the water surge? Water attack night update It's nonsense, Prime Minister Mei, I'd better not make fun of you. I'll just pretend I haven't seen you today, so please just go ahead."
Mei Meng was not surprised by this response.
This guard general is not Cui, but he was indeed trained by a family that the Cui family has good relations with. On the surface, he does not take sides, but his camp is biased towards the Cui family. She said calmly: "General, why don't you ask me why I said this and where did the news come from? Is it unsafe to make a judgment without verifying it? Kang Guo secretly built a reservoir upstream and only needs to open the gate. Just put some water in..."
Shou narrowed his eyes at the danger.
He didn’t really believe that the Mei Meng in front of him was real.
“Where did Mei Xiang know about this matter?”
What reservoir?
Have never heard of it.
It was never mentioned in the previous combat meeting.
Why did Mei Meng know something that even Qi Guo didn’t know?
Or, does Mei Meng know why she didn’t tell the king?
The guard made a sound and drew out the sword from his waist. The blade was placed across the vital part of Mei Meng's neck. With a little force, he could kill the opponent's head with this knife: "Who are you? Dare to pretend to be Prime Minister Mei?"
Mei Meng's tone was calm, as if the person whose life was being threatened was not her: "I have already used insider information to let the other party do something when the gate is opened. If this is done, there will be changes in the pass, and Kang Guo and others can feed themselves. Disastrous consequences. If it fails, please make preparations in advance. It’s up to the general to decide.”
The blade left a thin red mark on Mei Meng's neck.
The guard asked again: "Who are you?"
The person who was supposed to supervise the country ran up to him, but he couldn't produce any solid evidence to prove his identity. He suddenly mentioned the water attack and night attack, and said that she had already made arrangements. If she really believed it, she would become a joke.
However, the guard did not dare to bet that one ten thousandth.
He asked again: "When will the insider talk about it be launched by Mei Xiang?"
Whether it is true or false, you will know after testing it.
“I don’t know.”
Mei Meng really doesn’t know the specific time.
As soon as she received the news, she hurried over to remind the soldiers and horses along the way to be wary of the reservoir. No matter how good the southwest countries are in water warfare, if they are caught off guard in this situation, they may fall into a situation that is beyond recovery. As long as you take precautions in advance, you can not only minimize losses, but also take the opportunity to wait and see. The most ideal situation is that the inside detonation is successful, and Kang Guo himself is flooded first.
The guard hesitated in his heart.
He said: "Someone will be sent to confirm it in the end."
Hearing what he said, Mei Meng knew that the other party still did not believe her: "General, I would rather believe that he has something than that that he has nothing."
“There is so much news about the march and the war, do you believe everything? If Prime Minister Mei can completely convince the general, he will also believe it.”
For example, tell him why Mei Meng knew it but Qi Guo didn't.
If he can’t answer, why should he believe it?
It’s good to have some doubts.
"Please, Prime Minister Mei, please be aggrieved for a while. Once your innocence is proven, I will plead guilty to you without saying a word!" The guard gave up the simple tent and used it as a temporary residence for the suspects. As soon as he opened the tent, he heard a sigh behind him.
“Hey, it’s still too late.”
I don’t know whether the insider betrayed me or has been exposed.
The guard's patience was completely exhausted and he threw open the curtain.
Before the questioning came out, the guard also noticed something was wrong. The strangeness came from under his feet, as if something was moving towards him from a distance. The martial energy condensed in his ears, and the subtle and fuzzy movements became clear several times in an instant - the soldiers and horses on this road were stationed near the water source, so there was no lack of sound of water flow, but the sound he just heard was more like the roar of waves, and the sea was boiling and the mountains were shaking!
Something's wrong, there's something wrong with this movement!
What Mei Meng just said suddenly came to mind in the guard's mind.
His eyes looked at Mei Meng with horror. The latter stood there without moving, with no trace of emotion in his dark eyes. The guard woke up suddenly, no longer hesitated, and issued the order immediately. It takes a long time for military orders to be issued to the entire battalion, and it takes even longer for the soldiers to get ready to face the enemy after receiving the military orders. However, what arrived faster than the military order was the inexplicable out-of-control surge of water!
The night patrol soldiers did not know where the sound came from at first.
The war horse under his crotch is actually very sensitive, and it neighs uneasily. The soldier can't calm it down: "Why is the war horse suddenly barking randomly?"
“Is there something going on?”
“What’s the noise?”
They don’t have as strong an ear as the guard.
When I heard the noise, I could already vaguely see shadows shaking on the horizon in the distance, and trees along the bank fell down.
Someone had the courage to ride their horse forward to check.
Not long after he ran out, he immediately turned his horse's head. The voice was frightened and torn: "Quickly—quickly—"
In the flash of light, someone peeked behind him.
Only then did they realize that the monster chasing them behind them was not a ferocious beast, it was clearly a surging wave of water! But God was not kind to us, the sky suddenly changed its face, dark clouds gathered, and it rained heavily!
“Wake up quickly, it’s flooding!”
The soldier who was taking a nap in his dream was violently shaken awake.
“How is it possible?”
In the hazy night, ordinary soldiers could barely see the shadows rushing in their direction with the naked eye, sweeping everything in their mighty force. Before their sleepiness could dissipate, the water waves reaching their chests had already destroyed the outermost defense of the camp.
The soldier screamed and was swept away along with the baggage.
“Why are you panicking?”
The sonorous and powerful sound penetrated the rain curtain.
“Form up!”
The countries in the southwest are good at water warfare and have rich experience in dealing with water. This wealth of experience includes, but is not limited to, simply fighting floods. Ordinary soldiers were caught off guard by sudden changes, but brave warriors could barely keep their feet, either riding on the waves or fighting against them, so as not to be swept away somewhere. Following the military order, the body reacted subconsciously and formed special "shields". It is said to be a "shield", but it is actually an "L" shaped flood control board. These flood protection panels are arranged in rows and can cleverly use water flow to form a wall to isolate floods.
"continue!"
Use this kind of flood control "shield" to isolate the impact of water flow, or even force the water flow to change its course, giving your side time to gain a foothold.
Boom—
The wall collapsed with a loud blast.
The currents are coming back stronger.
The guard drew his sword to cut off the waves and forced a line of defense. But in the next moment, the separated water flow healed as before, as if nothing had happened, laughing at the useless actions of mortals. The guard was not angry, and was in a stable mood as he issued various orders. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, soil will cover them up. The only thing that can be used locally here is sand and soil except for river water.
Soldiers formed a military formation, used their morale to turn sand into walls, adding chips to the flood control wall, and scribes used their words and spirits to freeze. With concerted efforts, they gradually tended to control the situation. The guard was not optimistic, he found that the water was getting bigger and bigger!
Not only did the water flow increase, but the impact force was also abnormal.
As of now, the enemy is still lurking in the dark.
He did not think that these were natural coincidences.
"ah-"
One of the soldiers screamed, and then his body lost balance and was swept away by the current. The **** shadow spread in the water, and was diluted in the blink of an eye. Starting from this cry, a series of changes happened one after another. Something in the water is harvesting the lives of soldiers!
Is there something hiding in the water?
Hehehe, not only are they hiding in the water, but there are also people guarding the lower reaches.
Qian Yong was also startled by the momentum at first - compared with the southwest continent, floods in the northwest are actually not that frequent, the scale is even less, and the response experience is even less comparable - just imagine, if he is flooded The only one who is caught off guard is himself. If he is caught off guard, he will most likely be defeated, let alone react in such a short time to build a wall to isolate the water.
After reacting, Qian Yong became even more angry.
Early on, the elite were ordered to detour downstream and specially pull out the net to intercept the soldiers washed away by the current. Stop each one and kill each one!
He personally led his soldiers on bamboo rafts to kill them.
“Ready your bow and arrows!”
No matter what, just shoot a few rounds to clear the place!
As the rain continued, the water rose at an alarming rate, and the impact never diminished. Qian Yong's soldiers and horses descended from the upper reaches of the river without any help, as fast as an arrow leaving the string. He took the lead and rushed to the enemy's defense line in an instant: "Death!"
Other soldiers mounted their spears directly under cover.
Like spearing a fish, poking each one one by one.
Poke people downstream, and someone will naturally clean up for you.
The wind and rain are strong, and the war drums are like thunder.
Qian Yonggang showed off his strength twice, and two water pillars rushed out of the enemy's formation, one on the left and one on the right, blocking his retreat. Not only do these two brave warriors look the same, but their body movements are also exactly the same, completely synchronized. People who don't know think it is some kind of incarnation technique.
Qian Yong: “…”
One knife to the left, one to the right, intercept at the same time.
Just when he was about to boast in his mind that he was still as powerful as before, the twins simultaneously turned into a ball of water and merged into the torrent under their feet, and a cold breath hit Qian Yong's vest. The front foot avoids the sneak attack, but the rear foot comes with murderous intent. These two people are not very strong, but this tacit understanding is tricky. Qian Yong failed to pretend to be Bking and was unable to achieve the feat of riding the waves in his mind and taking the enemy's head back.
“The Five Virtues of a General, come!”
Qian Yong cursed in his heart.
One Ning Tunan, one Luan Gongyi, one Kang Jishou, none of the three literary scholars gave him an increase. Do you think it is not necessary for melee? Finally, two rays of light slowly fell...
Qian Yong: “…”
The master of Yan Ling was holding the bamboo raft mast and his face was pale.
Obviously, he was seasick.
Qian Yong: “…”
After so many years, I am still a reliable old man who works at home!
Qian Yong was stronger than the two of them combined, so he couldn't kill them for a while. It was just that he was not good at water fighting and had difficulty controlling his posture in the rapids, but the two of them were able to swim like a fish in the water. When he got the increase, Qian Yong gave someone a gift of a broken arm.
He said disdainfully: "Even a young boy can fight against your grandpa!"
Grandpa will always be a grandpa, and a grandson will always be a grandson!
The grandson provoked his grandfather, but he turned against Tiangang!
Qian Yong not only broke the opponent's arm, but also used a strong wind to explode the broken arm into fireworks. The relationship between these two brothers is extremely deep. When one of them was crippled by Qian Yong's sneak attack, the other immediately went berserk. The muscles under the armor were filled to the limit by some kind of power, and his body size increased several times. Qian Yong mocked: "The power of love?"
It’s a pity that fighting relies on absolute strength.
The improvement that emotions can bring cannot erase the absolute gap!
Thirty-two giant tooth cards flew out from above the battlefield!
Beneath the battlefield, Mei Meng stands above the rushing water.
She looked up at the thirty-two giant tooth cards, and clenched her fingers tightly in her sleeves. Suddenly, a strong aura of death enveloped her whole body.
She turned her head to avoid it, but the arrow still cut off a strand of her hair.
She was not allowed to think too much, the light of the sword was directly between her eyebrows.
Mei Meng looked at the attacker in anger.
When he saw the other person's appearance clearly, he was startled.
“Long time no see, Miss Mei.”
"Ning Yan" looked at Mei Meng with a half-smile but not a smile. This place was some distance away from the battlefield. Mei Meng really didn't end up participating in the battle.
“Is there anyone guarding you today?”
(*￣︿￣)
The extra progress, two thousand and two... It’s so difficult to write. Why were there so many characters back then...
