Chapter 1129: Miscalculation

Outside of Seoul, the Dongjiang Army, which had not acted for a long time, finally began to move. The movement of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses immediately frightened the defenders in the city. There is no doubt that both Dahler and Kim Hee-woong thought that the Dongjiang army wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the city to attack the city.

For a while, Dahler and Kim Hee-woong were nervous, but when they were busy preparing to defend against the attack of the Dongjiang Army at any time, they found that the situation was not good.

"Great King, it seems that the Dongjiang Army is cutting off the Han River." Some generals hurriedly came to report.

"Truncate the Han River ......" Kim Hee-woong looked confused.

Dalle, on the other hand, got up suddenly, and then strode out of the house, drank Skiff, and the two of them went straight to the city wall. Kim Hee-woong didn't know what was wrong with Dale, but it was rare for him to look so nervous, and he suddenly became nervous. He ordered men to prepare horses and follow him.

On the city wall, you can see from a distance that the Dongjiang army is gathering by the Han River outside the city, busy, looking at the Dongjiang army that keeps carrying sand and soil and filling the river with stones, Dale's face suddenly became even more gloomy.

"Skif, go and see if the Han River in the east is also being cut off by the Dongjiang Army." Dahler ordered with a cold drink.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Skiff did not dare to slack off, and hurried away with two guards.

Jin Xixiong came to his side and asked in a low voice: "Marshal, what is the plan of the Dongjiang army to cut off the river?" ”

Dale glared at Kim Hee-woong dissatisfiedly and said, "Is all the water in this city taken from this river?" ”

Jin Xixiong was stunned and said: "Indeed, most of the water in the city needs to be taken from this river. ”

Dale said gloomily: "Then you haven't thought of any intentions of the Dongjiang Army now?" ”

Jin Xixiong frowned and pondered for a while, before suddenly exclaiming: "They want to cut off our water source!" ”

After exclaiming, Jin Xixiong was puzzled again, he shook his head and said: "But even if the Dongjiang Army cuts off the water source, isn't there still water in the truncated river?" In this way, if the Dongjiang Army wants to cut off our water source, it can't do it at all? ”

Dale said with disdain: "The Dongjiang army cut off the flow of water, and they will find a way to pump out the water in the river, do you still think we still have water available?" ”

"Pumping water out of the river?"

Kim Hee-woong looked back at the Dongjiang Army, who was still busy filling in the river in the distance, gestured with his hand and said: "It is absolutely impossible to do it, even if the Dongjiang Army finally has a way to drain the water of the severed river, it will not be known how long." And in the meantime, we can store water in the city. ”

Dahler was slightly stunned, and he asked, "You said we can store water in the city at the same time?" ”

"That's right, even if the Dongjiang Army dispatches all its men and horses to collect water, we can also mobilize everyone in the city to store water at the same time. In this way, wouldn't the Dongjiang Army's wish be in vain? Kim Hee-woong suddenly felt a little complacent.

Dahler gave him an appreciative look and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, the king has indeed thought of a brilliant solution this time. ”

The first time he was praised by Dahler like this, Jin Xixiong was suddenly a little fluttering, and he said: "If you are dissatisfied with the lack of food in the city, you will be dealt with by the marshal." The king went to prepare for the impoundment of water. ”

Dale nodded very generously: "Okay, the king will go to work first, be sure to store more water." The lack of food and the chaos are wrapped up in this handsome. ”

Kim Hee-woong smiled and agreed, and then left.

Dale stood on the city wall, looking at the Dongjiang army, which was still busy with work, with a look of disdain on his face.

Not long after, Skif, who had gone to Dongcheng to check on him, returned and said to Dale: "Marshal, there is indeed a Dongjiang army in Dongcheng blocking the river. Are we going to send troops to disturb them? ”

Dahler shook his head and said, "No need, let them go about their work." Call in our men, and Ben Shuai is going to start cleaning up the buzzing guys. ”

Skiff didn't react for a while, I don't know what a buzzing guy is?

"Why don't you gather people quickly, what are you doing here?" Dalla snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Skiff did not dare to delay any longer, turned around and walked away quickly.

Dale looked back at the Dongjiang army in the distance again, and then went down to the city tower and began to personally clean up those who were not convinced.

Mao Wenlong and the generals were patrolling outside Seoul, and the Dongjiang Army was already cutting off the river. But the defenders in the city didn't seem to react, and it was completely impossible to say that the defenders in the city still didn't know the intentions of the Dongjiang Army.

"Chief soldier, it doesn't seem right for the enemy army in this city to react like this!" Kim Jong-ri's face was full of confusion.

"It's a little too calm, indeed." Mao Wenlong couldn't figure it out.

Adou said at this time: "Chief soldier, why don't we send a hot air balloon for reconnaissance to investigate?" ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "That's fine, be sure to let them be careful." ”

Adou clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, the chief soldier, his subordinates will arrange it." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and watched Adou leave.

There are not many hot air balloons for reconnaissance in the army, after all, this thing is the most advanced thing in the Ming Dynasty, and it can float to a height of more than a thousand meters.

Adou didn't dare to be careless, he went out directly, and after taking off in a hot air balloon, he immediately flew to the sky over Seoul to reconnoitre.

In broad daylight, the defenders of Seoul had seen the balloon from the first moment it was lifted, but they could see that they could not do anything about the hot air balloon that was so high that it could not be touched at all.

Since it can't be hit, then it can only be allowed to soar, and the defenders of Seoul can only pay attention at all times, be prepared, and keep an eye on the whereabouts of the hot air balloon in case the hot air balloon suddenly attacks from a high altitude!

The telescope in Adou's hand is obviously the most advanced, and although it is at an altitude of more than a kilometer at the moment, he can still see every move in Seoul clearly with the help of the telescope in his hand.

When Adou saw that there were a lot of people in the city, they were busy storing water around the river that passed through the city. His face immediately became embarrassed, and it was obvious that this was the enemy's strategy to deal with Mao Wenlong's water cut.

thought that Mao Wenlong did not hesitate to use 20,000 soldiers and horses to cut off the river, but in the end it may be useless. Adou felt uncomfortable in his heart.

After hesitating for a while, Adou immediately ordered to return, and he must report the situation in the city to Mao Wenlong as soon as possible.

As soon as Mao Wenlong returned to his big tent, he heard Adou's voice asking to see him. Stunned for a moment, Mao Wenlong didn't expect Adou to come back so quickly.

"How? What's the situation in the city? Seeing Adou, Mao Wenlong didn't wait for him to speak, so he took the lead in asking.

"General soldier, the situation is not good, at this moment, the enemy army has almost mobilized the people of the whole city, gathered on both sides of the river in the city, and is busy storing water!" Adou said with a bitter face.
