In Gongliangwen's opinion, there is a lake outside, and there is a small river between the two mountains along the way, so he would definitely think of the possibility of storing water upstream and flooding the downstream, so he couldn't understand why Jin Xuedi people couldn't be flooded by Baili Yan with one hand.

Thinking about it now, Bai Liyan didn't pay attention to it at first, and after the flooding, she vaguely thought of what Gongliangwen thought.

According to what he can think of, Jin Xuedi people should also be able to anticipate, and this is military common sense, categorically can not be confronted and stranded for a long time in the path between the two mountains and water, even if there is no need to send troops to investigate, seeing the terrain and landforms, they should also know that the upstream is possible to store water, but the result still happened, and more than 20,000 people were drowned at once.

When Bailiyan summarized afterwards, it was found that the Jinxuedi people were not good at water warfare first, and their native area was located in the cold temperate zone and cold zone, and the water network was far less developed than that of the temperate zone and subtropical zone, and their use and cognition of water were far inferior to those of the Central Plains.

Secondly, Jin Xuedi's water army is a decoration, and Bai Liyan jokingly called it "the water army marines." "How ridiculous it is that sailors are still full-time in the army.

During the hundreds of years when the Jin Xuedi people invaded the Central Plains in the north, due to the geographical environment of Qianyue Mountain, there was no water network in the Central Plains to enter the hinterland of Qianyue Mountain, so the warships could not enter the territory of Qianyue Mountain, and at the same time, there were no vassal states.

Therefore, for hundreds of years, the two sides have never launched a water war, and the vast grassland almost does not need a water army, so both sides are infantry troops, cavalry rushing and killing, and then attacking the city, which leads to the fundamental lack of many tactical tactics in the field of military theory of the Jinxuedi people.

In addition, the combat power of the Jinxuedi people is not so terrifying, and their powerful resources are animal resources, such as mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, dire wolves, and eagle beasts, beasts that can cause chaos and fear, as well as their more popular iron tools, and horses with short protrusions. Moreover, they had religion, and in the agrarian era, religion was very demagogic, equivalent to spiritual opium.

Excluding these, the tactics, tactics, and strategies of the Jin Xuedi people are far inferior to those of the Central Plains, in other words, the flexible intelligence factor is far inferior to the Central Plains, which is also the main reason why they desperately collect and absorb the achievements of the Central Plains civilization.

The intelligence factor is of course important, but in the final analysis, the essence of war is to have a hard fist, if the quality of the poorly equipped soldiers is uneven, it is the god of war who has descended into the world, the god of war opens the way, and with more heads than the other side, how meaningful is it to win a war, and it will only sacrifice lives in vain.

After fighting with the Jin Xuedi people for several years, Bai Liyan saw their strength more and more clearly, excluding all open factors, the generals of the main army of the Jin Xuedi people are only equivalent to the level of second-rate or even third-rate generals in the Central Plains at best, which is roughly the level of Su Hong, and now it is to give Su Hong 100,000 elites, under the same conditions, a frontal battle, most of the generals of Jin Xuedi's main army can only barely cope, if it is against the boss Kong Nan, it is basically no play.

Not to mention the serious bureaucratic style, the idea of servitude is deep-rooted, the arrogant and lascivious life of the upper strata is erosive, and the ability of their generals and decision-makers is even lower and narrow-minded. It is okay to fight a battle with the wind, but once they lose their superior means, let them fight against the wind, and the overall combat capability is worrying.

If there were no thousands of miles of plateau wasteland barriers, the two places would have come closer to each other, and the Jinxuedi people might not have the upper hand, and they might not even be beaten.

The problems facing the Central Plains now are internal and external troubles, the division of the territory, the division of national strength, the loss of a large amount of technology, the inability to unify under centralized power, the weakening of technological progress by the impact of war and the economy, and the failure to stabilize the political development. Coupled with the rampant Black Turban Army, the Central Plains is now too busy to take care of itself.

At this time, the strength of the upstream flood discharge far exceeds the flow in spring, after the cofferdam is raised by two zhang, the higher the water level, the greater the water storage, the greater the speed and flow of the hydraulic fall, rushing into the ice surface of the outer lake, the water potential quickly rushes to all sides, the water level above the ice rises rapidly, and soon spreads to the earth wall on the east bank of the outer lake.

Looking at the rapidly rising water level, the legion commander Etis was shocked and puzzled, and could not understand why the water was draining at this time, but the water rushed into the earth along the crack of the west gate, and Etis's subordinates hurried to the city.

"Legion Commander, the flood is about to break down the city gates, and they should be filled up immediately."

Etis looked at the west gate, where water was pouring into the city through the crack in the gate, and the west gate was already crumbling:

"Then go quickly, first with flour bags, then with soil!"

"Yes!"

At this time, the water level rapidly increased from three feet to six feet, nine feet, and one zhang, and constantly refreshed new heights. Etis was shocked to find that the water level was rapidly approaching the height of the city wall, and he could even reach out to the icy water.

"What the hell, what the hell are they trying to do!"

"Your Excellency, maybe they just want to flood the city with great water and force us to abandon it." One belongs to the head of the regiment.

"Is that really the case?" Etis was skeptical, but couldn't think of any other reason.

At dusk, a bonfire was lit in the camp of the coalition forces, and Bailiyan ordered the killing of the unicorn and the barbecue to comfort the three armies to boost morale and prepare for tomorrow's siege.

Tian Peng is still very able to eat, even more than before he was injured, but his face is not very good-looking, first, it is caused by blood loss from injury, and secondly, he was almost killed, and finally knows what death is. His mind was relatively simple, but it was clear that he couldn't eat enough after he died, which touched his sensitive nerves, so he could eat more than before he was injured, for fear that one day he would die and he would never be able to eat again.

The meat of the unicorn is very tender, almost most of the parts are as tender as tenderloin, and it is not exactly what kind of meat it is, but it tastes like camel meat.

After nightfall, the west bank of the outer lake is full of fire, after the water is released in the afternoon, Sikong Nan, Su Fangyi, and Su Hong led an army of 20,000 to go to the outer lake along the forest path, and the ground after the heavy water is full of ice slag, and the soldiers walk while laying grass branches on the ground to prevent slipping.

Around midnight, the defenders on the east bank suddenly became agitated, and some people shouted in terror:

"Look, the city walls, the walls are cracking!"

The terrifying sound, which could be heard almost with the ear, quickly tore through the adobe walls, and from south to north, from top to bottom, countless cracks rapidly expanded, and water penetrated the cracks into the city, and accelerated the cracking of the walls, like bulldozers, and the walls on the shore of the lake showed a noticeable tilt.

Legion Commander Etis was woken up from his sleep and asked his squire in a panic:

"Are the rebels attacking the city?"

"Your Excellency, it's the city wall, the wall on the west side is cracked and seeping water, and it's sloping to the east side."

Artis hurriedly put on his fur jacket and came outside the house, but he stepped into the icy water, and was surprised:

"These damn pigs, we're fooled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion, and the ground shook and the mountains shook, almost knocking Etie to the ground. When he steadied his footing and followed the prestige, the western camp was in disarray, and the soldiers rushed to the east gate for their lives.

In the darkness, I saw that the west wall had all collapsed, and half of the earthen walls on the north and south sides of the west city wall had collapsed, and the huge ice cubes rushed into the city with a huge amount of water, and the water level under my feet quickly rose from the depth of a finger to the depth of my calf.

This loud noise also alarmed the coalition forces in the woods, and Baili Yan closed his eyes for less than two moments.

"Sentinel, sentinel, what is the voice."

"General Qiyu, the voice is coming from the direction of the outer lake, like an earthquake!"

"Earthquake?"

Baili Yanxin categorically denied the possibility of an earthquake, and if it was an earthquake, the horses should be frightened.

"Go, send orders to all armies and battalions, strengthen vigilance, and beware of a sneak attack by enemy cavalry!"

"No!"

Quickly came to the high place, Gongliang and the three of them had already taken the first step, and the three of them were all using binoculars to watch the movement of the defenders, Bai Liyan also took out the binoculars, and was taken aback when he looked closely.

In the dimness, it can be seen that the east side of the outer lake has almost completely collapsed and collapsed for several miles from south to north, and the huge ice surface has rushed through the earthen wall, carrying the water that has not yet frozen into the earthen city, and the people in the city are noisy and chaotic.

Bailiyan only thought that he was waiting for the water surface to freeze, but he didn't expect that after the water surface froze, the volume expanded rapidly, and the city wall collapsed with nowhere to expand.

"What an accident......

Gong Liangwen took over and said confidently:

"Our army will undoubtedly win this battle, and when it is exhausted after a night of tossing, our army will be killed again, and the defenders here can be broken!"

Bai Liyan nodded:

"Yes, it's only the first half of the night, and if this is tossed until dawn, most of the defenders here will be able to tie their hands and capture them."

Gongliangwen was extremely shrewd in his calculations, and with such a big movement, the defenders would inevitably be wary of the coalition army attacking the city tonight, and at the same time they would be busy solving the flood, so they simply hung them overnight, and waited for the defenders to toss and toss for a night, and when they were exhausted tomorrow, they would give the power of thunder a head-on drink, and the defenders would be defeated.

At this time, a large area of fire more than 30 miles west of the telescope was faintly visible, and it should be Sikong Nan and Su Hong's troops coming, and it would be more advantageous to attack tomorrow morning.

But Bai Liyan was thinking at this time that if he was trapped in the earth city, he would most likely choose to break through tonight and never wait until dawn.

Because the principle is the same, what Gongliangwen can calculate, he can also get the worst result through the comparison of strength and the situation deduction, so if he wants to survive, he can only do the opposite and move against the trend.

Bai Liyan was completely sleepy due to the sudden change, and he went to the east side of the camp to check the sentry post, and the camp had ropes drawn on the trees on three sides to block the sudden attack of the Jinxuedi cavalry. Even in the woods, the cavalry lost most of its mobility, but its condescending position was still conducive to group operations in dense cavalry formations.

At dusk, Sikong Nan, Su Hong, and Su Fangyi led their troops to the west bank of the outer lake, and Su Fangyi ordered people to dig ice on the lake to test the depth, which reached one and a half feet overnight, and the brigade was unimpeded, and then listed four formations on the west bank, and the situation suddenly became grim at this moment, Essetis found that he had been surrounded on all sides, the city wall on the west side was completely collapsed, and the two city walls in the north and south each had a collapse gap of more than 100 steps, and the city was in a mess.
