Chapter 388 Helian Bobo’s Hidden Worries

“After one hour, prepare to retreat.”

Liao Huan gave the order.

Above the sky, there is a solitary moon hanging, casting soft moonlight. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the sky and the earth are hazy.

The ancient city of Suizhou stands between heaven and earth like a huge beast, but unfortunately the people in the city don’t know it yet.

Their death is near.

Up the river.

The rain is still falling.

Inside a small building in the bamboo forest.

Xiao Han walked out of the room. The candlelight in the room flickered. He yawned and vaguely saw a graceful figure bathing behind the gauze curtain in the room.

It was raining heavily outside, with lightning, thunder and howling winds. The heavy rain lasted for three days and three nights without stopping for a moment.

The water level of the Sui River in the distance was about to overflow the river bank, and even some low-lying areas in the bamboo forest had been submerged by the river.

“Is it time?”

The gauze curtain was lifted, and a soft and boneless body came up from behind, pressed against his back, and whispered in his ear.

A faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, and he chuckled: “Stop messing around, it’s time to get down to business.”

“Humph.”

The woman behind him let out a coquettish cry, stretched out her hand, and the black dress fell on her body. In a moment, she was dressed.

The two walked out of the small building side by side.

“It’s time to get to work.”

He spoke.

next moment.

A gigantic monster rushed out from the Sui River. It was a real dragon. Its hundred-foot-long body caused chaos.

The real dragon opened its bloody mouth and roared to the sky.

Xiao Han and Nie Si Niang walked out of the bamboo forest and came to the river bank, next to which was an ancient river channel that had been dredged.

The river water has overflowed the river bank. He stretched out his right hand, made a palm seal, and slammed forward. A powerful palm force burst out and hit the river bank.

In an instant, the hundreds-foot-high river embankment collapsed and broke into pieces, and the surging river water rushed into the ancient river channel.

“sing”

The real dragon roared, rolled up endless water, and rushed out of the ancient river channel. Its huge body stirred up the wind and clouds, and the surging Sui River water rushed straight towards Suizhou City.

Along the way, there were lightning and thunder, and dark clouds covered the sky.

“Suizhou City is finished.”

Seeing this scene, Nie Si Niang couldn’t help but mutter to herself. Her already charming face was even more attractive at this moment. Her every frown and smile had a charm that could captivate people.

“It’s not just Suizhou City that’s finished.”

Xiao Han withdrew his palm, watched the rolling river water flow eastward, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, “Northern Wei is also finished.”

“Let’s go, go back.”

He looked at Nie Si Niang and raised his eyebrows: “It seems that Sect Master Nie is a little dissatisfied.”

“Not convinced.”

Nie Si Niang pursed her lips and said, “I still have a few tricks that I haven’t used yet.”

“What secret skill?”

Xiao Han came closer, extremely curious.

“What unique skill is that? Once His Royal Highness the King of Xiliang has seen it, he will know it naturally.”

Nie Si Niang rolled her eyes at him, turned around and walked towards the bamboo hut with graceful steps.

He shook his head and followed.

Suizhou City.

Suddenly, thick dark clouds floated across the night sky, followed by lightning, thunder and strong winds.

midnight.

Most of the Northern Wei defenders were fast asleep.

The empty Xiliang camp outside was brightly lit, and the patrolling soldiers had turned into scarecrows in armor.

Outside Suizhou City, there is not a single Xiliang Lord.

Before the hour of Chou, suddenly, the earth began to tremble, accompanied by loud thunder and lightning, which covered up the sound of the flooding in the river.

“Report.”

into the night.

Pingcheng Camp.

Helian Bobo, the military god of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was not asleep. He was sitting in the big tent looking at the intelligence in his hands.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle came from a distance, and there was a noisy sound outside the tent. Before he could stand up, a guard walked in quickly, knelt on one knee, and said with a trembling voice: “Marshal, I just got the news that it is raining heavily upstream of the Sui River.”

“Snapped”

The memorial in Helian Bobo’s hand fell to the ground. He stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open, “How long has it been raining?”

“It should be two or three days.”

The guards had never seen the Northern Wei military god in such a state before. They were so frightened that they stammered.

“Why are you reporting this now?”

Helian Bobo was furious, his face looked terribly gloomy.

“Bring the people in.”

“promise.”

The scout was brought into the camp, his face covered in blood. He fell to his knees and cried, “Marshal, the Xiliang Army has deployed a large number of troops upstream of the Sui River to block the news. The brothers suffered heavy losses, hundreds of people died, and I am the only one who survived.”

Even though he was furious, Helian Bobo had no place to vent his anger. He could only slump in his chair and said with a wry smile, “It’s over.”

“It’s all over.”

“Suizhou City is gone.”

He muttered to himself.

At this time, the Northern Wei military god finally understood everything. Why was it raining heavily upstream, but the water level downstream did not change at all?

It is obvious that someone blocked the river upstream, creating this illusion.

“God.”

Helian Bobo raised his head, looked at the starry night sky, and said angrily: “Why do you prefer Xiliang and refuse to give me a chance to live in the Northern Wei?”

It’s just the beginning of spring, so even if it rains it won’t be heavy. But this time the rain in Suizhou was very strange.

It only rained heavily in the upper reaches of the Sui River, and it lasted for several days and nights.

If there was no involvement of the King of Xiliang, Helian Bobo would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Unfortunately, God showed no intention of responding, and the world was silent.

“Beat the drum and gather the generals.”

Helian Bobo still held on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart and wanted to launch an attack before the Xiliang people dug up the Sui River channel.

Quickly opening up a path to Suizhou City is the last hope and the only way of survival for the 200,000 elite Northern Wei troops in Suizhou City.

However, when the Northern Wei cavalry left Pingcheng, Lu Ju got the news right away, and the left and right wing armies moved closer to the central army as planned.

Suizhou.

The rain was heavy.

Thunder and lightning.

The wind howled.

The towering ancient city stood between heaven and earth, the rain curtain spread, and the pale lightning was dense and tearing through the night sky.

Inside the city.

General’s Mansion.

Murong Yan woke up from her sleep and looked at the heavy rain outside. Suddenly, she felt an ominous sign in her heart.

“This rain came a little strangely.”

With the help of two maids, she put on her coat and walked out of the room.

“Put on armor.”

Murong Yan spoke.

“General, it’s so late and raining so hard, the Xiliang army will definitely not dare to attack the city.”

The old man in the mansion said, “General, there is no need to go to the top of the city.”

“Liao Huan is a man of many tricks, so he must have cheated.”

Murong Yan shook her head: “Besides, I can’t sleep right now.”

He had just put on his armor when suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly. The entire courtyard was shaking, and the grass, trees, bamboo and rocks rustled.

“what happened?”

“The ground is shaking?”

The maids and bodyguards in the mansion walked out of the room one after another, each with a look of horror on their face.

“Why panic?”

Murong Yan walked out of the hall wearing armor and carrying a long sword on his waist. He said with a stern face, “You panicked over a little noise. What if we start a fight with the Xiliang army?”

But after dozens of breaths, the shaking did not stop, but became more intense.

Murong Yan felt more and more worried. He jumped on his horse and headed for the top of the city with his personal soldiers.
