"Commander..."

Faced with Zhang Wenyuan's conceited behavior, the military advisor Pang Hui wanted to persuade him, but Zhang Wenyuan just refused to listen and interrupted, insisting on following the plan.

Seeing that Zhang Wenyuan was so arrogant and refused to listen to advice, Pang Hui could only sigh in his heart. As the old saying goes, it is better to be prepared for the worst.

If the rear camp and the Wei River are left unattended, there may be unexpected changes.

Pang Hui had no choice but to disobey military orders and personally rode to the west gate of the God of War Pass. He pretended to be the commander-in-chief and ordered the left general stationed at the west gate to dispatch 50,000 light cavalry to the rear camp.

When Pang Hui personally led the army to the camp, he saw corpses everywhere but no trace of the Han army. Pang Hui immediately shouted, "Hurry up and follow me to the Wei River!!!"

Pang Hui hurriedly changed direction and headed towards the Wei River.

Once the Han army destroyed the Wei River, the 700,000 troops besieging the War God Pass would become minnows in the ocean.

……

Wei River.

Facing the surging yellow water of the Wei River, although Ren Hao was impressed by the wisdom and ability of the ancients in controlling floods, he did not hesitate and ordered everyone to unload all the thunderbolts on the cars and pile them on the weakest stone and earth dam on the south side of the river.

Ren Hao took out a fire stick from his sleeve and said to Xu Qing and the others, "Brother Xu Qing, you take Princess Wen Yan and the others and go first. Run as far as you can and don't stop. We will meet up at Taojia Village ten miles away."

"Brother Ren Hao, let's go together if we want to go, and die together if we want to die." Xu Qing got off his horse and refused to get up. At the same time, he ordered the former general to lead all the soldiers and take Wen Yan away.

"If you don't leave, I won't leave either. If we want to leave, let's go together." Wen Yan got off the horse and insisted on staying with Ren Hao.

But Ren Hao suddenly struck Wen Yan with a knife and knocked him unconscious, and asked Xu Qing to ride on Heifeng and take Wen Yan away quickly.

It only takes one person to ignite the thunderbolt. It would be bad to leave too many people behind, as it would only add to his worries.

"Brother Ren Hao, you must not die. If you die, I will have a hard time explaining to Madam Ling and His Majesty." Xu Qing warned with a serious face.

"Don't worry. There is no way I would die so easily." Ren Hao smiled easily and asked Xu Qing to lead the soldiers to leave quickly.

After Xu Qing led the soldiers away, Ren Hao took the tinder and estimated that they had run about a mile. Then he rode on his horse and threw the tinder into the thunder.

"drive!!!"

Ren Hao kicked the belly of the black horse he was riding and galloped towards the dam.

Boom! ! !

After a sound like thunder rang out, the whole earth began to shake violently at this moment, and the yellow water of Wei River rushed down along the damaged dam, like water from the falling sky.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The black horse that Ren Hao was riding raised its front hooves and neighed continuously, and was too frightened by the sudden change to dare to move.

“Gee, gee!!!”

No matter how Ren Hao waved the whip in his hand, the black horse just stood there motionless.

Faced with the imminent surge of Wei River, Ren Hao could only abandon his horse and run to the dam nearby. When he reached the dam, it was about to be washed away by the Wei River.

Finally, he could only jump into the river, hoping that he would have a chance of survival.

……

"What...what is that sound?"

The earth shook violently after the thunder. Not only Pang Hui who was rushing to Wei River was stunned, but even Zhang Wenyuan who was at the pass and Xu Tiande who was trapped in the God of War Pass were all confused.

When the scouts from both sides came back to report that a violent thunderbolt had caused the Wei River to burst its banks, the expressions on Zhang Wenyuan and Xu Tiande's faces formed a sharp contrast.

Xu Tiande was overjoyed. The Wei River burst its banks at such a critical moment, which could be regarded as a blessing from the gods.

Xu Tiande immediately ordered everyone to open all the waterways of the War God Pass to prevent the surging Wei River from destroying the city gate. At the same time, he ordered all the archers of the army to be on standby on the city wall, waiting to send them a wave of "gifts" to cheer them up when the Wei army retreated or forced an attack on the city.

On the other side, Zhang Wenyuan shouted in disbelief, "Impossible, impossible, this is absolutely impossible!!! How could there be a so-called Thunder God in this world?"

"Marshal, this...if there is no help from Thunder God, how can we explain the bursting of the Wei River?" All the generals sighed, fearing that this was God's will not allow the Han Dynasty to be destroyed.

"explain?"

"What a bullshit explanation! Quickly notify the army to prepare for a forced attack on the city. We must break through the God of War Pass in one fell swoop." Zhang Wenyuan's face darkened as he ordered the generals to prepare to burn their boats.

Since Heaven did not allow him to destroy the Han Dynasty, he would rather go against Heaven.

"Marshal, the Wei River is approaching now. We still have time to retreat, but if we attack the city by force, I'm afraid that before we even take the city, our brothers will be left in the river like shrimp soldiers and crab generals." Pang Hui hurried into the tent and advised Zhang Wenyuan not to act arrogantly.

Retreating now can preserve the Wei army's vitality, so they can regroup and make a comeback at another day.

But if they attacked the city by force and went against the will of Heaven, it would result in great loss of lives and disregard for the lives of 700,000 Wei soldiers.

Zhang Wenyuan looked at the map placed on the big table. Although he was conceited and unwilling, he could still distinguish what was important.

In the end, he could only give the order: "Declare the Seventh Army to retreat eastward to repair the Wei River to ensure the safety of the property of the Wei people heading south."

"Here."

All the soldiers obeyed the order and secretly breathed a sigh of relief that they did not become useless.

Although Zhang Wenyuan had ordered the Seventh Army to retreat in time, many Wei troops were still affected by the surging Wei River. The Wei soldiers were all northerners who were not good at swimming. Those who could swim became shrimps and crabs in the water, and those who could not swim tried to hold on to something to save their lives.

The Han army archers on standby on the city wall also began to counterattack from a high position at this time.

Since the crossbow arrows had been used up in the previous defense of the city, the archers now used not crossbow arrows but pieces of stones or beams.

These Wei soldiers who were soaked in the water had no time to rejoice that they had survived the disaster before they were hit by the stones and beams thrown down into the water and died.

Those Wei troops who swam into the pass through the waterway were stabbed to death by the long spears of the Han army guarding nearby before they could even climb up.

……

At this time, Xu Qing and Wen Yan rushed to Taojia Village without stopping, waiting for Ren Hao's return.

But no matter how long they waited, Ren Hao never returned on horseback.

Although they already had ominous signs in their hearts, none of them were willing to believe that Ren Hao would die.

He will definitely be able to come back safely.
