North of Yongnian City.
The eastern sky is slightly white, and the morning light is faint.
In the upper reaches of the Fuyang River, the Zhao army's civilian service was still building dams overnight. On both sides of the dam, among the reeds, two thousand Zhao troops were ambushed and waited. Bed crossbows, three-arrow crossbows, rockets, boats, etc. are all available in the reeds, and iron stakes are also set up in the shallows to prevent the enemy from stealing the dam.
"Seven days after building the dam, it seems that it is time to dig the dam." Looking at the dam, Li Chongjiu said happily.
The dam of the Fuyang River is half a mile long, three feet high, and it took 70,000 days to build by 30,000 civil servants and 20,000 soldiers. Now the left side of the dam is crowded with all Zhao soldiers, civil servants.
Xu Shiji replied to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, you can do it at any time." Most of our soldiers have withdrawn to the high ground, and the city is guarded by Xue Wanche with 3,000 soldiers. β
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Start digging the dam!" β
After receiving Li Chongjiu's order, more than a dozen large ships in the upper reaches of the Fuyang River sailed down, and Cheng Mingzhen led hundreds of sailors to destroy the dam with giant trees, and then the rolling torrent suddenly surged towards the direction of Yongnian City as the embankment was excavated. Near the embankment, the soldiers of Zhao and the civilian servants took action together, throwing large boulders and soil bags into the lower reaches of the Fuyang River, so that the river water was diverted, and they all went straight to Yongnian City.
In Yongnian City, the Xia army on the city wall shuddered when he saw the torrent rushing towards him, and the soldiers on the city wall walked around like headless flies, shouting while walking: "The Zhao army has broken the water to irrigate the city, flee quickly!" β
After hearing this, the Xia soldiers and soldiers in the city panicked, and the sound of crying was everywhere.
Liu Heimin rushed to the head of the city with his sword in his hand, and shouted at the soldiers who were scurrying in all directions: "Don't panic, give me each his place to guard, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." β
Under Liu Heimin's prestige, Sergeant Xia calmed down slightly. Liu Heimin raised his eyes to look, but saw that the earthy yellow torrent flooded the woods and fields. Straight towards Yongnian City. and the Zhao army camp under the city was also swept into the torrent.
However, Liu Heimin saw that the flood had flooded the Zhao army's camp, and there was silence, obviously the building was already empty.
Immediately after the torrent directly covered the city, Yongnian City has two moats, both of which were built by diverting the water of Fuyang, and the water came. The first moat was filled with overflow, so that the water slowed down slightly, but the back wave followed, crossed the first moat, and directly submerged the second moat.
The yellow tide hit the city wall directly, and the wave did not subside. Wave after wave, in the middle reaches of the Fuyang River, the original channel, almost blocked, now the river is diverted to Yongnian City to vent. The rolling torrent, endless, poured straight into the city, that unstoppable appearance. The soldiers at the head of the city trembled in their feet.
Liu Shishan saw that the water was very urgent, and said loudly: "Big brother, go quickly, it's dangerous here." β
Liu Heimin pushed Liu Shishan away and shouted, "What's the panic!" β
But I saw that the tide hit directly under the walls of Yongnian City, and it was several feet high at once. The rammed city wall of loess withstood this huge wave. Seeing that the city wall resisted the flood, all the soldiers made a little decision in their hearts.
But the water still flowed from the city gate into the eternal city.
Liu Heimin shook his head when he saw it. He said, "Quickly, keep the granary, don't let the water into the granary." β
"No!"
After his younger brother Liu Shishan received the order, he rode directly from the city wall and galloped away from the horse road, and the water flooded Yongnian City very quickly. The streets were instantly filled with a foot of water, Liu Shishan's war horse tread through the water, and the streets were full of chaotic Xia soldiers.
In front of the street on the side. Hundreds of people slapped on the door and said, "Quick, do well, let us out." Let us out. β
And the fang officials outside the fang gate shouted at the fang gate: "What are you crying for, it's useful to cry here, go back to your respective houses, go up to the beams, and make sure you're okay." β
Liu Shishan listened to the words of the fang official, and was helpless in his heart, these ordinary people are all old houses, and if they break it casually on weekdays, they can get a big lump of dirt, soak and pee, and urinate out a hole, and when the water is flooded, a few houses can be stored. But at present, the 20,000 Xia troops in the city are difficult to protect themselves, and Liu Shishan has no time to care about the safety of the people, so he immediately urged the horse to go straight to the granary.
Now Yongnian City has become a piece of Ze country, from the top of the hill to see that Yongnian City has almost become an island in the lake, the shortest city wall in the east seems to be a little shorter, under the flood has not gone a third. The earthy yellow city wall floated lonely on the water, and the soldiers of the Xia army stood weakly at the head of the city, powerless.
The main force of the Zhao army had already moved all the camps and set up a formation on the highlands east of the city. The soldiers of Zhao watched from the wall to see the scene of the flooding of Yongnian City, and the water of the Fuyang River was still rolling and pouring into the city.
Li Chongjiu, Xu Shiji and others simply took a small boat to inspect the battle situation of the water attack on Yongnian City, and after reading it, they couldn't help but be very satisfied with the results of the water attack method. At that moment, he turned to land on the earth mountain where Xue Wanche was stationed in the east of the city.
Li Chongjiu and Xu Shiji came to the top of the earth mountain to look at it, the flood has already flooded into the Yongnian City, and as soon as the flood arrives, the houses in the city are already soaked in the mud and sand. Yongnian City is also flooded now.
Xue Wanche couldn't help but sneer: "Liu Heimin doesn't know how many days he can hold on? β
Xu Shiji said: "Don't be careless. General Xue, in my opinion, the city needs to be cautious if it is not broken. β
Li Chongjiu said: "Then wait." β
"Your Majesty, I'm only worried about the Turkic ......," Xue Wanshu said worriedly.
At this moment, a boat rushed to the shore of Tushan, Zhang Xuansu disembarked from the boat, and came straight to Tushan and said to Li Chongjiu: "King Qiqi, General Ma Han, King of Handan, told Yu Wenhua and 20,000 elite soldiers from Wei County to the west of Handan. β
Xu Shiji said when he heard this: "Yu Wenhua really can't sit still. β
"I really don't want to be lonely, I don't wait for us to attack Wei County, but I come to the city to die." Xue Wanshu said angrily.
Li Chongjiu said: "Why be angry, Yu Wenhua and come to help Yongnian City, this is also reasonable." β
Xue Wan said: "Yu Wenhua and also know, after we capture Yongnian City and destroy Liu Heimin, the next step must be to include Hebei, for Yu Wenhua, the two armies are both defeated, and it is best to maintain a balance of power in Hebei." As long as our Zhao army retreats, he can take advantage of Liu Heimin's dying and Li Tangnan's attack on Zheng to rise again. β
Xu Shiji said: "Yu Wenhua and he has a good calculation, he thinks that our army and Liu Heimin have a bloody battle, and the division is old in the city, who knows, our army is now good and full of food." β
All the generals nodded together, and Li Chongjiu looked at the generals on the earth mountain and said: "Very good, Xu Shiji listens to the order, you lead 30,000 troops to camp here and continue to attack Yongnian City." I and the rest of the generals led 30,000 horses to Handan to meet Yu Wenhua. β
"No." All the generals clasped their fists together and agreed.
Inside the city of Handan.
Several Zhao soldiers escorted one person to the lobby.
The man struggled and shouted, "Don't kill me, I am a dignified man of the Yuwen family, how can you peddlers and pawns kill me." Believe it or not......"
After this person was escorted to the lobby, a general with a beard was sitting in the hall, and when he saw the other party, he laughed and said: "Damn, don't be rude, how about hurting Yuwen Gongzi?" He also did not make amends to Yuwen Gongzi. β
When the left and right soldiers heard this, they hurriedly apologized to the other party, this person snorted, and said: "What kind of reputation are you making, first hard and then soft, this trip is less, I Yuwen Zhiji and see less?" β
Wang Mahan laughed, and said: "Where to play tricks in front of Yuwen Gongzi, this paragraph invites Yuwen Gongzi to sit for a long time, especially to release Yuwen Gongzi." β
At that moment, Wang Mahan loosened the ties to Yuwen Zhihe, and said to the door: "Have you prepared the wine and food?" β
"Ready."
"Quick, send it in, I'm going to scare Yuwen Gongzi today."
Yu Wenzhi secretly wondered at the moment, he thought that after Zhao Xia and the two countries tore their faces, he would die, but he didn't expect Wang Mahan to let himself go, there must be something strange in the middle. At that moment, Yuwen Zhiji was also false and wronged, and said with a smile: "General Wang, where are you talking." β
After speaking, the two sat down and drank each other, Yu Wenzhi and the intention of the tentative said: "General Wang wants to let go back, could it be that the two countries are now friendly." β
Wang Mahan muttered: "A certain person is a rough man, just get straight to the point, right now King Zhao is leading the siege of Liu Heimin's Yongnian City, and now the two armies are holding each other under the city, and the victory or defeat is not divided." But your brother seems intended...... Alas, I know that we have done a little bit before, so please let my brother ignore the past suspicions, why did the two families fight. β
"Is it a war to turn into a jade silk." Yu Wenzhi and the smile in the chest.
"Yes, yes, that's what it means," Wang Mahan touched his head and said earnestly, "King Zhao also asked Brother Tai to bring a message to Brother Ling, saying that as long as the two families can strike the army, after our army captures Yongnian City, we can let Ji and Wuyang counties take it as a reward, how about the two families being friends forever?" β
I believe that you are a ghost, what a Li Chongjiu, and he designed to deceive me and my eldest brother. Yu Wenzhi sneered in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "It's so good, if you can get two counties without blowing your heart, why not." I will go back and persuade my brother. You're here waiting for the good news. β
Wang Mahan was very happy at the moment, and the two drank a few more glasses, and Wang Mahan immediately urged Yu Wenzhi to get up quickly.
Yu Wenzhi had this intention, so he took advantage of the situation to say goodbye immediately, and the attachΓ© who came to Zhao Jun as a hostage was also released. Yuwen Zhi and his entourage were all surprised and delighted, and it was hard to believe that they could escape like this.
At that moment, Yu Wenzhi and his entourage hurriedly drove away from the west gate of Handan.
At this moment, Yu Wenhua and Zheng led 20,000 elite Xu troops to Handan, and met Yu Wenzhi and his party on the right road.
When Yu Wenhua and the two brothers saw each other, they all burst into tears, hugged each other and cried for a while.
After crying for a while, Yu Wenhua asked, "How did you escape from Zhao Jun's hands?" β
Yu Wenzhi said: "Of course, it's not because of my brother, Li Chongjiu saw that your soldiers were pressing Handan, so he panicked, so he let me go and wanted to make peace with you." β
