~~~~~~

The twenty-member Ming Army's 'corpse dumping squad' had a smooth journey and returned to Haizhou City smoothly late the next night without any casualties.

The main reason is that Li Yuanqing chose a very vicious time. He left the city in the early morning and dumped the body at night, and was far away from the warning range of the Hou Jin Army. It was difficult for them to predict that Li Yuanqing would use this method to "treat the people in his own way".

His body'.

However, the news is not all good news.

The rain has been falling for two days in a row, and instead of showing signs of stopping, it has intensified, and the river is about to reach the highest warning line.

On the land outside Haizhou City, a vast ocean has formed that is clearly visible to the naked eye, at least a finger deep.

In such a situation, let alone a war, it would be difficult to even move forward.

Early in the morning on May 19th, Li Yuanqing, together with Chen Zhong, Wei Liang, Zhang Qiliang, and dozens of main generals from the two armies, came to the river at the east gate to inspect the situation.

At this time, the river was rolling and turbid. It no longer had the clear, deep and comfortable feeling when Li Yuanqing first entered the city. Instead, it looked like an angry and rolling dragon.

Chen Zhongdao: "Yuan Qing, the situation is not good. Looking at it, it is very likely that there will be a flood! We must find a way as soon as possible."

Wei Liang also hurriedly said: "Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, when the Za family were young, there was a flood in their hometown. It was like God cannibalizing people. Most of the parents and relatives of the Za family were also lost in the flood. Look.

The appearance before me, this, this is probably bigger than the flood when I was a child!

Zhang Qiliang also nodded repeatedly, with a look of fear on his face.

Fire and water are merciless.

Faced with the power of God, what can mortals do?

Duan Xiliang said: "General, looking at the situation, we may have to abandon Haizhou City. Otherwise, once the flood rises, this..."

Guan Canghai also said: "The only thing left to do is a heavy rain. General, we must make a decision as soon as possible!"

Shunzi hurriedly said: "Well, do we have to abandon the city? If we abandon the city and there are so many women and children, what should we do if the Tatars catch up?"

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath. He never expected that things would develop like this.

In the history in his memory, he had never thought of a flood in Liao. Wasn't it always a drought?

But at this time, the facts were before his eyes, and Li Yuanqing could only choose to accept the reality.

Could it be that history has changed?

Li Yuanqing walked aside, picked up a stone the size of a rubber ball, and threw it into the river. After a moment, there was a 'plop' sound, and the stone had been swallowed up by the rolling river water, and there was no trace of it anymore.

Everyone looked at Li Yuanqing eagerly.

Li Yuanqing sighed deeply and glanced at everyone: "You are right. The situation is beyond our control. We must make a decision as soon as possible. If the river floods the city, the consequences will be disastrous. I mean, we must break out as soon as possible.

"

"Breakout? This..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Chen Zhong also looked troubled, "Yuan Qing, if we break through, we will be under great pressure."

Li Yuanqing suddenly sneered: "We have to break out of the siege even under great pressure. Water and fire are merciless. If the flood hits the city, I'm afraid none of us can escape. Let's get ready immediately. Brother, your troops will leave the city first, and I will stop behind. After half an hour, by

Breakout from the south gate!"

Li Yuanqing's authority is beyond doubt.

At this time, Chen Zhong did not dare to refute Li Yuanqing's intention, and quickly nodded and told his headquarters to do it, and the generals of the Changsheng Battalion also quickly got busy.

…………

At this time, the Houjin camp was also noisy.

Unlike the Ming army, which had the advantage of a city, the Jin army's tents were all set up on the ground. At this time, the floodwaters were almost up to people's ankles, and the tents could no longer be inhabited.

In the middle of the night, there was a lot of excitement in the Houjin camp, and it was obvious that no one could sleep well.

At this time, the old slave's royal tent had been moved to the small slope to the west, but even so, the luxurious gold carpets at the bottom of the tent were soaked through, making it difficult to put them to use again.

The most frightening thing is that starting from this morning, some warriors began to have symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting, which tended to get worse and worse, which was very worrying.

Outside Lao Nu's tent, Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and other dignitaries of the late Jin Dynasty gathered around Lao Nu, observing the surrounding situation.

But even on a slope, the water flows along the grass roots and can almost cover the soles of the shoes. The feet are wet and very uncomfortable.

The old slave's face was gloomy, staring straight in the direction of Haizhou City.

Daishan said: "Khan Ama, with this weather and this battle, I'm afraid we can't continue fighting! If there is a flood, the consequences will be disastrous! We must make preparations in advance."

Daishan is very clear. Once a flood occurs, property damage will be secondary, and large-scale plague will easily occur.

Especially at this time, signs of the plague had begun to appear in the rear army formation, which made him feel on pins and needles.

Amin also gritted his teeth and said: "Li Yuanqing is really cheap! This guy is so lucky!"

Yue Tuo shook his head, "Second uncle, Li Yuanqing's luck may not be better than ours. Once there is a flood and the city is washed away, it will save our energy."

Amin also reacted and couldn't help laughing: "That's right. I'm just hoping that God will come soon and take away this bastard Li Yuanqing!"

At this time, the old slave let out a long sigh.

Everyone couldn't help but hurriedly looked in the direction of the old slave, not daring to say anything more.

Looking at the vast ocean in front of him, the old slave felt very uncomfortable.

Originally, this time, he was determined to capture Li Yuanqing, but at this time, it was obviously difficult to achieve it.

However, to a certain extent, this also found a step down for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have much confidence in confronting Li Yuanqing.

Even in his heart, he still looked down upon Li Yuanqing, but with countless bloody realities before his eyes, he no longer dared to touch Li Yuanqing's brow easily.

After a long while, the old slave sighed and said: "God is causing trouble, Li Yuanqing is really taking advantage of this. However, at the moment, we should still focus on dealing with the flood first. Send my military order, and the whole army will break camp and retreat to the high ground to the west."

All the dignitaries and dignitaries around him were afraid that at this time, the old slave could not bear to think of forcing Li Yuanqing to be tougher. When he heard what the old slave said, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Khan Amma is wise."

"The Great Khan is wise. Let's retreat to higher ground, and God will come and take away this bastard Li Yuanqing!"

"Yes. Isn't Li Yuanqing ruthless? See if he is ruthless or God is ruthless! Hahaha!"

"..."

At the edge of the crowd, Tan Bai clenched his fist tightly, biting his teeth and twisting them back and forth.

How could he not see it? These people were probably scared out of their wits by Li Yuanqing, and the flood was just an excuse.

Especially this morning, some soldiers began to suffer from diarrhea, which gave Tan Bai a very ominous premonition. This was probably the work of Li Yuanqing.

Unfortunately, in this situation, it is no longer possible to verify.

In the face of the general trend, he still had no choice but to surrender.

"We still need to get greater rights!" Tan Bai clenched his fist tightly.

At this time, a servant suddenly came over quickly to report, "Great Khan, masters, a vanguard of the Ming army has left the city from the south gate. It seems that they are going to break through from the south gate?"

"What?"

Everyone was stunned.

The old slave also reacted, "Let's go and have a look!"

After a moment, the group got on their horses and quickly moved toward the south.

Unfortunately, the ground under their feet was too muddy, and the horses could not pick up speed at all. They walked for more than half an hour for a distance of more than three miles.

At this time, the south gate of Haizhou City has been completely opened. The Ming army has formed three square formations on the west side. There are probably six or seven thousand people. In front of them are all spearmen, with sharp spear heads.

The hook is pointed in this direction.

"This despicable mud! He actually wants to run away? Khan, my slave is willing to lead his troops to attack Li Yuanqing's spear array!" Amin couldn't help but get angry.

I expected God to accept Li Yuanqing, but who would have thought that Li Yuanqing actually wanted to run away.

Tan Bai no longer cared about his status and said hurriedly: "Great Khan, I am also willing to go to the battle."

On the side, Dai Shan shook his head, "The land is so muddy, how can you charge into battle? You can only fight on foot! Li Yuanqing is cunning and must be well prepared. Let's wait and see what happens first and don't act rashly!"

Mang Gurtai also said: "Second brother is right. Li Yuanqing must have noticed that the situation was not good, so he wanted to escape. The key is that the flood is too big now, and it is difficult for our main force to cross the river. It is unwise to attack rashly."

ah."

Amin was a little anxious and said, "Second brother, fifth child, are you so scared? We have a lot of rafts, we can definitely cross the river. If you don't go, I will!"

As Amin said this, he was about to hurriedly call for deployment.

"Wait!"

The old slave suddenly shouted loudly.

Amin was startled, but he came to his senses and looked at the old slave respectfully, "Khan, slave, I'm a little impulsive."

The old slave gave Amin a sharp look.
