Chapter 375: Interception

"Yes, Master Hou." After Fang Shu received the order, he went down to count the number of people and went to the woods two miles away to cut trees.

Since Xuan Shi wants to use a water meter, he must have to plan for his soldiers in advance, in the name of camping, cut down more wood and come back, put it in the camp, and at night, quietly make some rafts, these rafts are the things that the soldiers save their lives in the water.

Ten miles upstream, in the camp of the guards of the former Bo Zhuo City.

The "report ~~~~~" scout ran into the commander's tent: "General Qiyu, the Tang army downstream is camping, and many people have been sent out to cut down the number in the woods two miles away, wanting to strengthen the camp and build it more solidly to prevent our army." ”

"Let them go!" The general waved his hand: "Go, probe again." ”

"Yes!"

The scout exited the tent, and the chief of the tent laughed.

"It is said that the Dongshan Marquis of the Tang Dynasty is cunning, but it is nothing more than that, in the face of our army's 120,000 troops, what is the use of this camp built no matter how strong it is? It's not all wood, our army really wants to get their camp, it's just a matter of fire. ”

"General, it's better to be careful." The scribe on the side said.

"The military adviser is too worried, now we have reached an agreement with the Tang army not to occupy it for seven days, the general's sons have been sent to the Tang army, the Tang army's camp is downstream of us, within the scope of our guards' attacks, what else can go wrong, if the Tang army dares to use conspiracy and tricks, it is a breach of the contract, my 120,000 army, can break through the Tang army's camp with a snap of a finger, and slaughter them all."

"Even so, it's always right to be careful, if the general wants to take the Tang army camp in one fell swoop, he might as well take advantage of our army's advantage in the upper reaches to build a dam next to the camp to cut off the flow of water, and after seven days, while fighting a decisive battle, he will break the embankment and attack the Tang army camp downstream." The scribe said.

"The military advisor is right, the construction of the embankment, just do what the military advisor said, anyway, we are upstream, and it will not affect us."

Before it began to get dark, the embankment was built in the upper reaches for a hundred years, but it was not Changle who led people to repair it, but those Goguryeo soldiers who built the embankment and began to store water.

What happened in the other party's camp couldn't hide from the elite scouts in the Xuanshi camp, and when the scouts brought the news back to inform Xuanshi, Xuanshi only smiled.

"It seems that the other party is not a fool, there are smart people, so we should be more cautious." Xuan Shi smiled.

It's just that the other party is not as ruthless as Xuan Shi, Xuan Shi's water plan, even he has calculated it, and he doesn't even want the camp, let alone the camp, Xuan Shi also plans to sacrifice the 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers in the barracks, and the other party, just on the side of their camp, is infinitely close to the downstream and begins to intercept and store water, who can be full of such an action?

If you are willing to give up, you will have to give to you, and if you are not willing to give up, where will you get it.

After dark, Chang Le took a thousand people and groped their way upstream with tools.

Now that the upper reaches of the Tang army's camp have begun to store water, Changle is storing water in the upper reaches of the enemy camp, so that Xuan Shi is really not afraid that they will find out that the water level of the Datong River is abnormal.

As the same Xuanshi preached, the Tang army's camp was built very strongly, until the next day, the soldiers in the camp were still reinforcing the camp, the camp of the 60,000 army, the periphery of the wooden wall was built, the wall was built two and a half high, even if you were riding on horseback from the outside, you could not see the scenery in the camp, but even so, the Tang army still did not stop, and continued to cut wood, and there were more people who went out to cut wood today than yesterday.

The woods two miles away were about to be bulldozed by the Tang army.

"General, the Tang army downstream is still cutting down trees, and now I can't see what the Tang army is doing in the camp." The scout went to the tent and reported.

"Could it be that they want to make rafts? After all, we are here to intercept the flow of the Datong River, and we can't hide their scouts. The scribe said.

"If you can't hide it, you can't hide it, it's not a big deal, the strategy of the military division is just a better victory for the auxiliary army, this flooded Tang army, even if the Tang army has a raft, what about their camp? Can you still make the whole camp float? The general laughed: "The military division can continue to intercept the flow of the Datong River, don't care about what the Tang army did, 60,000 people, in front of our 120,000 army, how can you toss?" ”

In the blink of an eye, the six days had passed, and in the evening, Chang Le rode a horse and took the child to the enemy camp, and returned the child to the enemy general according to the agreement.

"General, Ling Gongzi is in our army's camp, eating, drinking and entertaining, but he has not been wronged, and now, under the general, Ling Gongzi will be returned to the general." Chang Le arched his hand and said.

The general nodded: "Well, your marquis is a trustworthy person, and so is the general, early tomorrow morning, our two armies will have a decisive battle, and the general is looking forward to your marquis's performance on the battlefield." ”

"So, I'll go back to the camp and resume my life." Changle arched his hand.

At noon on the sixth day, Chang Le returned to the Tang army camp alone, and a thousand soldiers were still guarding the upstream embankment, waiting for the signal from the camp to blow up the embankment.

Although the camp of the Tang army was built of wood, after tens of thousands of troops built day and night for six days, it is now like a city.

Soldiers can ride rafts to save their lives, but war horses, grain and grass must also be preserved.

According to Xuan Shi's estimate, after the upstream levee was blown up, the water depth was estimated to be two meters deep, and the height of the things in the camp was sufficient.

And in order to build such a fortress, two miles away; Lin Zi was already about to be cut bald by the Tang Army.

In the camp, Xuan Shisheng gathered generals.

"Today is the time for our army to fight to the death with 120,000 soldiers and horses upstream." Xuan Shi said: "The number of enemy troops is twice that of our army, although it is a decisive death, but our army spent so much effort to build such a camp, naturally we must make good use of it, Ben Hou intends to personally lead 25,000 Liaodong elites to meet the enemy head-on, General Gao's 30,000 Goguryeo soldiers will stay in the camp and hold the camp. ”

"Xuanshi!"

As soon as Xuan Shi's words fell, Gao Huanquan exploded: "What does Xuanhou mean by this, the upstream camp has begun to store water, once they dig the embankment, the water will leak down, this camp is a dead place, you can't calculate us like this because I have a conflict with you!" ”
