Chapter 878: Flooding Lunu

Before entering Lunu, Subu sent a team of 10,000 men to the upper reaches of the Tang River.

The Tang River is the main river that runs through Lunu and has a wide channel.

Now it's flood season, and the amount of water is very large.

Building a barrage upstream, filling it with water, and breaking through the dam can cause a lot of damage downstream.

This is also a necessary way to flood the city downstream.

"Dismount, dig up the mud around the area, and start building the barrage."

A Hun Wanfu elder roared.

He was a confidant of the Subu Bone and was ordered to build a barrage upstream to cooperate with the downstream Subu Bone to flood the city of Lunu.

More than half of these 10,000 people were Qiang people and Xianbei defectors, and Su Bugu couldn't trust them, so he asked Duotuo to bring them upstream to build a barrage.

More than 7,000 people took out leather bags, filled them with dirt, and built a barrage on the riverbed.

They chose a place where the water was gentle and the estuary was narrow, so that they could get the most out of the minimum amount of labor.

Seven thousand men were busy on the riverbed, and Toto led three thousand men to oversee them on the shore.

It only took half a day for the barrage to take shape.

With the barrage, the amount of water in the upper reaches of the river begins to slowly accumulate.

Very good!

Seeing the results in front of him, Duotuo nodded with satisfaction.

At this rate, it will not take more than two days for the river to fill up, break through the barrage, and flood downstream.

He only hoped that the Lower Bones King would be able to build enough rafts in a short time, and once the city of Lunu was flooded, they could easily reach the top of the city on rafts, and quickly take advantage of the superiority in troops.

……

Just when the Huns were in full swing to build the barrage, a group of people emerged in the section of the Tang County River twenty miles upstream, and the leader was Zhen Yao.

Zhen Yao was arranged by Guo Jia to be the county magistrate in Tang County, and Xu Bu Guzhi was in Lunu, and he didn't pay attention to these small surrounding counties.

In Su Bugu's opinion, as long as Lunu City is defeated, the surrounding small county towns will naturally fall to the wind.

But what he didn't expect was that it was these small counties that ruined their big things.

"Lord Prefectural Order!"

One of the scouts said excitedly: "The Huns are building a barrage on a section of the river twenty miles away, and they are now half completed. The Great General told us to go according to the plan. ”

"Excellent! The general is really like a god! ”

Zhen Yao nodded excitedly.

For this brother-in-law, he admires the five-body throw.

Now that the Zhen family has been completely tied to Guo Jia, both glory and loss, Zhen Yao will naturally go all out to follow Guo Jia.

"Get ready to do it!"

He waved his hand violently.

The officials and people behind him rushed out one after another.

It turned out that they had built a barrage to store water in the Tang County section of the river early in the morning, and they were waiting for the Huns to come.

The Huns were dying by building barrages downstream of them.

"The barbarians who turned into foreigners, they actually dared to learn the methods of the Han people to conquer the city, and I, Zhen Yao, will let you pay some tuition."

Zhen Yao smiled and waved the flag violently.

More than 1,000 people and strong officials on both sides of the river worked together to pull the rope on the bank, and the barrage suddenly collapsed, and the river roared downstream.

"Everyone, go back to the city immediately, no one can leave the city without the order of the official!"

After the dam collapsed, Zhen Yao immediately gave an order and beckoned everyone to return to the city.

More than 1,000 people returned to Tang County one after another, and the four doors were closed.

Once the Huns suffered, they would definitely send people up the river, Tang County did not have many garrisons, only less than 3,000 people, and they were not the opponents of the Huns at all, so it was better to defend the city first.

……

The water roared down, and soon formed a torrent, which instantly destroyed half of the dam built by the Huns, and carried down the thousands of Huns working in the riverbed.

Ahhh

The Huns screamed and sank in the flood.

They are all men born on horseback, where do they know the nature of water, and now they are washed into the water, and they are naturally nine deaths.

Not only that, but the flood also washed away the equipment they brought, and this time, the barrage was naturally incomplete.

Duotuo was furious.

He never expected the Han people to be so cunning.

The Xiongnu built barrages upstream of Lunu, and the Han built barrages upstream of them.

Their barrage had not yet been built, and the Han barrage began to attack.

What made Duotuo even more angry was that the Han people chose to break the dam at a very vicious time, and they did it when they were halfway through the construction.

At this moment, nearly five or six thousand troops were swept away by the flood, and the material equipment brought with them was also lost.

Fortunately, Duotuo's people did not go down on the shore, so they were able to escape.

"These Han people are too hateful, go and report to the king, I will lead the troops to chase after them and kill them!"

Duotuo roared angrily, sent people back to the queen of the bones, and then led 3,000 cavalry up the river, vowing to kill those Han people.

When Duotuo's army arrived in Tang County, the four gates of Tang County were closed, and the defenders and young men were all on the head of the city.

Although Tang County is not as good as the state and county seat of Lunu, the city is also very strong, and the people of Duotuo are also staring at each other.

Nomads are not good at attacking cities, and even if the opponent only has a thousand people, they can stop them with the advantage of the city.

Duotuo had to be stationed around Tang County to prevent the gang from coming out again to sabotage their plan to build a barrage.

……

The barrage in the upper reaches was completely finished, and the Huns in the lower reaches were still waiting for it.

The flood came, but sooner than they had expected, and was mixed with the corpses of a large number of slaves.

Of course, these people were all slaves who built barrages upstream.

Bastard stuff!

After hearing that the Han Chinese had sabotaged the Huns' plan to build a dam, Ah Yimu was furious.

In just one day, they lost six or seven thousand men and a large number of equipment, which is really unbelievable.

King, I'm going to send someone to destroy this county?

Ah Yimu was successfully attracted to Tang County and prepared to destroy Tang County first.

"Don't be reckless!"

Su Bugu said lightly.

He wasn't much angry.

This is Yunzhou, which is Guo Jia's territory, and people naturally will not watch the Huns flood Lunu.

It's just that Xu Bugu didn't expect that Guo Jia would build a barrage upstream of them in advance, attacking water against water, and destroying their water attack plan.

The Han people are really cunning!

Su Bugu couldn't help but shake his head.

"Order Duotuo to keep an eye on Tang County and not to come back for the time being. Ah Yimu, you are dividing 10,000 troops and going upstream to build a barrage. ”

Water attack is still a profitable thing, so until the moment of crisis, the Su Bu bone will not give up.

Besides, they still have enough troops.

It is entirely possible to continue to divide forces to build barrages.

Be!

Ah Yimu replied stupidly and ordered someone to build the barrage again.
