Chapter 166: Water "Chief, those Russian troops are dispatched" A voice startled Jevisky jumped from the ground.
"What's the situation?"
"Chief, just now our people found that hundreds of Russian troops are approaching the riverbank, and they look like they are ready to swim across, what should we do?"
Hearing the answer of his subordinates, Yevisky fell into silence, his heart kept turning, and now he must think of a safe way as soon as possible, once those Russian soldiers land on the other side of the river and reconnoitre at the same time, as long as the Russian scouts are a little dutiful, they will definitely not be able to hide the tricks they have arranged, but if they order the release of water now, it seems that it is not very cost-effective.
Just as Yevisky hesitated, one of the rebel squad leaders beside him said in a loud voice: "Chief, let go of the water, there are hundreds of Russians here, if they cross the river and find that the cats upstream are tired, not only will they not be able to trap those large Russian troops, but it will also make our painstaking plans necessary."
What this person said also has some truth, but now the Russian army has just sent people to swim across, and if the water is released at this moment, the damage caused to the Russian army can be said to be minimal.
After thinking for a while, Yevisky gritted his teeth, if he waited for those Russian soldiers to go ashore, he would lose even the opportunity to choose, in this case, it was better to leave those hundreds of Russian soldiers in the river to feed the fish, thinking of this, Yevisky ordered loudly: "Everyone pack up and prepare to retreat, Rievic, you go and light our signal now, and inform the upstream side of my order."
After saying that, Yevisky took the lead in picking up his bags and stabbing them on horseback, and the rebel soldiers around him packed their bags one after another according to Yevisky's order.
Although the wind is not very strong in summer, because the weather is dry, it only takes a wisp of green smoke to reach the sky.
As time passed, the smoke became thicker and taller, and it could be seen clearly even from a distance.
And this green smoke was like a signal, and soon after it was ignited, a wisp of green smoke rose not far away and soared into the sky.
In fact, the place where the Russian army crossed the river was about 100 miles away from the place where Yevisky ordered someone to build the embankment, this 100 miles is not a short distance, converted into kilometers, it is more than 160 kilometers, and it is very troublesome to transmit orders over such a long distance, even if it takes at least four to five hours to arrange for the fastest war horse to go to transmit.
So in order to pass the command quickly, Yevisky chose the simplest and most effective method, which was relay.
Between this and the upper reaches, Yevisky set up nine points, each guarded by five soldiers, whose purpose was to ignite the incendiary material he was carrying as soon as he saw the smoke, so that the order could be conveyed to the next station as soon as possible.
This saves time, and it only takes less than an hour for orders to be quickly transmitted upstream.
And the reason why Yevisky ordered the smoke at this time is precisely because of the existence of these points, even if the Russian cavalry is dutiful, it is impossible to detect a hundred miles away, but the Russian army should still carefully inspect it within a few tens of miles, so that the points arranged within this range will be easily discovered.
Except for the starting point where Yevisky is located, the other points are arranged on the other side of the river.
"Your Excellency, General, look" Kulichkov, who was concentrating all his attention on the Russian soldiers crossing the river, was reminded by the staff officer standing beside him.
Looking in the direction pointed by the staff officer, he saw a wisp of green smoke rushing into the sky on his left, and after a while, a wisp of green smoke floated on the other side of the river, Kulichkov was startled, and then saw him quickly order: "Immediately send people to those two places to find out what caused the fire, and order the soldiers who crossed the river to hurry up, I want them to set foot on the land on the other side in the shortest possible time, and immediately send me another 400 soldiers to prepare to cross the river."
Kulichkov's order was given very vigorously, and just when the 600 Russian soldiers by the river had not yet completed the preparations for crossing the river, another 400 Russian troops drove to the river.
In fact, when Kulichkov saw the green smoke, what he thought in his heart was completely different from the actual situation, Kulichkov thought that this was an ambush on the other side of the river, and the green smoke was a signal from the enemy.
Soon a thousand Russian soldiers were ready to cross the river, the soldiers held hands together, and the first soldiers cautiously walked towards the other side of the river.
Everything started smoothly, and the Russian soldiers soon came to the creek to follow the footsteps of the soldiers, but Kulichkov's heart became more and more entangled.
Fortunately, nothing happened, although the speed of the Russian army's advance was very slow because of the blockage of the river, but the distance was shrinking, and after seeing that there was no movement on the other side, Kulichkov gradually relaxed his heart.
There was always the footsteps of a soldier stepping on the opposite bank, and seeing that nothing happened along the way, Kulichkov let out a long exhale.
But at this moment, a thunderous sound came to Kulichkov's ears, and his face suddenly became full of color.
Both the Russian soldiers in the river and the Russian troops standing on both sides of the bank became a little panicked, only to see them looking around in disbelief, and the team crossing the river suddenly stopped.
"Don't stop, rush over to me" Seeing that the marching team in the river stopped, Kulichkov, who was standing on the bank, immediately roared loudly, but when he roared, the war horse under his crotch became uneasy, and the Russian army, whether it was a war horse or a horse, became a little abnormal, and the abnormal appearance of the horse made Kulichkov even more uneasy.
Time passed second by second, and the thunderous sound not only did not weaken but became louder and louder, the faces of the Russian troops present changed from panic to shock, and the horses used in the army also became more restless and furious, which made the Russian soldiers have to consume more to appease these horses.
In the midst of this thunderous sound, the Russian soldiers who were still in the river felt that the water level around them was rising, and it stands to reason that it was not a rise now, how could it suddenly rise.
But there was no longer so much to manage, and the Russian soldiers in the river seemed to be fleeing, and the formation they had maintained at the beginning had been completely scattered, and everyone mustered up all their strength and rushed to the shore.
The soldiers who were close to the shore were lucky, because they didn't have much time to run to the shore and climb up, but the Russian soldiers who were originally in the river were somewhat tragic.
The rebel soldiers guarding the upstream embankment immediately destroyed the previously built embankment after receiving the signal, and with a roar, the water was like a thousand horses galloping, and the huge waves made the rebel soldiers standing on the shore all shocked, before the power of nature, human power seemed so weak.
Kuroda Takataka, a famous strategist of the Warring States Period, once said: What moves oneself and can move others is water; It is water that always seeks its own direction; When encountering obstacles, it is water that can exert a hundredfold strength; It is water that cleanses away the filthiness of others with its own purity, and that has a generous measure that contains the turbidity.
The vast ocean can evaporate into clouds, turn into rain and mist, or condense into a mirror of ice, no matter how it changes, it still remains water.
Water is a gift from the Creator to human beings, and it is impossible for human beings to survive without water, but if there is more water, then human beings will not survive, which the Russian soldiers who crossed the river are about to experience.
The flood soon poured in front of the Russian army, and looking at the two-meter-high waves sweeping in the distance, the color on Kulichkov's face became very vivid.
"Your Excellency General, let's go" Before Kulichkov could react from the miracle of such a creator, the guards on the side hurriedly grabbed Kulichkov's arm and shouted loudly.
In fact, these guards did not need to shout, because just as they were shouting, the war horse under Kulichkov's crotch had already begun to turn around and run backwards because of this huge roar.
Sometimes animals do react much faster than people, and although they have begun to run towards the shore with all their might, some Russian soldiers who are far away from the shore have already felt despair.
The water of the river, which was originally only up to the chest, now rose directly to the erection neck, which made it impossible for the soldiers to continue walking in the river with their legs at all, and because of the previous fright, many soldiers wasted precious time, so with the rising river and the coming wave was a threat called death.
It was too late to say that it was too fast, but in the blink of an eye, the waves swept to the location of the Russian army, and the soldiers became looming with the ups and downs, and under the impact of the water, countless Russian soldiers were carried by the waves and rushed downstream.
Kulickov, who was already far away from the river bank, looked at the struggling Russian soldiers in the river, his face had become pale, and the Russian soldiers and Polish soldiers around him were the same as his faces, and the bodies of many Russian soldiers who had just escaped were still involuntarily swinging.
Obviously, the aftermath of the catastrophe did not make these Russian soldiers who escaped to death feel happy, and everyone was still immersed in the fear just now.
In fact, it was only a momentary thing, but what happened in this moment was enough to make everyone present remember it for a lifetime, although the water and waves of this river are insignificant in the world, but for those present, the small river in front of them just now has killed many people.

Tell everyone to follow me in the direction of the waves, and do my best to rescue those who are still in the water, and don't let me go quickly."
Speaking later, Kulichkov was already completely roaring.
