Chapter 77: Water floods Guangdu

Today is Xu San’s 25th birthday. At this time last year, my mother would cook him a bowl of fragrant egg noodles.

Since the rebels captured Pi County, their family has been thieves.

After a few months, parents, younger brothers and sisters died under the swords of officers and soldiers.

Perhaps God couldn't bear to let his family die, so he not only did not die, but became a small official.

It’s hard to say that big fish and meat are big, at least I can eat enough every day. Of course, if I capture a city, I will have everything.

"Oh, I've eaten less and less these days."

Xu San leaned against the wall and took out half a fist-sized cold steamed bun from his arms and started eating it.

Half a steamed bun was in her stomach, Xu San put his hands behind his head and squinted his eyes.

Something happened today?

Often, this is the most intense fight between the two sides.

This is pretty good, at least you don't have to work hard.

"...Um..."

Xu San opened his hands and stretched his arms, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Boom!

The earth was shaking, and Xu San was awakened, opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Water...the water is coming!"

A soldier pointed outside the city, his face was panicked and shouted in horror.

Xu San hurriedly stood up and walked to the battlements.

From a distance, Xu San looked at the flood in horror as he came towards them like a beast.

"Run...Run!"

After Xu Sangang shouted, the flood rushed to the front and drowned everyone's figures.

What's going on?

We have to start ten days ago.

...

That night, Gu Tingye returned to the tent and didn't sleep all night, thinking of Korean military orders.

The military order said that he would take his people to build a dam upstream of Dushui.

Once the siege is unfavorable, the dam will be destroyed and flooded Guangdu with heavy water.

Of course, the consequence is that the people and fertile fields that are hundreds of miles downstream are destroyed.

This is also the reason why Gu Tingye is hesitant.

Korean knew he would hesitate. Of course, there was a reason why he risked the world's big mistake and used water to flood Guangdu's poisonous plan.

Yesterday, a friend wrote to him. Seeing that he was unable to take over Guangdu for a long time, Cai Wei took the opportunity to deny himself that he would be traitorous to His Majesty.

Of course, Your Majesty did not believe it, and even scolded him during the morning court.

Although His Majesty believes in Korean style, he is still afraid.

After all, His Majesty will definitely be suspicious of their repeated warnings.

Aren’t it just some thieves, why are you fighting Korean for so long? What do you want to do?

Just in case, Korean style had to do this.

Of course, if you break through Guangdu tomorrow, you don’t need to implement this strategy.

The next day, I took out the killing weapon of Lu Gongche, but it failed in the end. The three Lu Gongches burned all the money.

...

So Gu Tingye led 20,000 soldiers and walked along the water with various tools.

In order to attack water, you must understand the nearby terrain.

The Du Water is located on the west side of Guangdu. As long as the dam is built upstream to store water, the flood will flow down like a beast.

At that time, the vastness will be self-defeating.

Gu Tingye brought his people to the ten miles above Dushui to station.

Then, under the coordination of water conservancy experts, everyone began to build a dam.

In order to speed up the progress, Gu Tingye recruited nearby people and asked them to join the dam building crowd.

Time passes day by day, and progress increases little by little.

...

There were still two days left before flooding Guangdu, Gu Tingye called a water conservancy expert to ask about the progress of the dam.

The water conservancy expert's surname is Li Jing. He is an irreconcilable middle-aged man with ten years of experience in water control.

"Li Jing, I will ask you, how long will the dam be built?"

Li Jing did not rush to reply, but lowered her head and thought secretly.

After reaching an answer in his heart, Li Jing answered truthfully: "It will take five days to build a dam when he returns to the general."

"No, it's been too long."

Gu Tingye directly rejected it.

"Two days, I will only give you two days, and I must build the dam."

"This... General, can you give me one or two more days?" Li Jing said "plop", knelt at Gu Tingye's feet and begged.

Gu Tingye helped him up and sighed: "I know it's not easy for you, but Han Shuai was urging him to build a dam within two days."

"Okay, what do you need to mention to me?"

"People, I want a lot of people!"

Even if the facts cannot be changed, then do your best.

"Okay, I will promise you."

Gu Tingye sent Li Jing out of the tent and asked someone to go to the Korean camp to ask for military orders.

Ask him to issue military orders to the county magistrates of nearby cities to recruit labor.

The labor service was delivered, Li Jing and his men traveled day and night, and finally built it two days later.

Many people were exhausted to build this dam, but it was all worth it.

When the dam was built, Gu Tingye sent someone to tell the Korean style.

After learning about the Korean style, they asked the generals to lead their subordinates to a high place.

At the same time, people were sent to the counties under the Dushui River to determine whether they would evacuate.

As early as the strategy of using water to attack was determined, Korean style sent people to various counties to let the county magistrates take the people of the county upstream.

...

The next day, it was dawn and the Korean style brought people to the dam.

Looking at the dam in front of me, the Korean style was very satisfied.

"Tingye, you did a good job. You should be the first to win this battle."

Korean style says he is neat in his work.

"Ship Han, this is what the last one will do with you. Without them, I can't do anything."

Gu Tingye did not live alone in this merit, but distributed the merit to everyone.

Korean style just smiled and didn't say anything more.

Then Gu Tingye asked: "Ship Han, when will the dam be destroyed and water be released?"

"No hurry, let the water go in three hours." Korean style said.

Gu Tingye responded and followed him.

Three hours passed quickly, and in the Korean camp, military orders were issued to everyone.

"General Gu, you are responsible for destroying the dam with your people."

Gu Tingye stepped forward and said, "Last general, take the order!"

Then, Korean style issued military orders to others.

Everyone answered in unison.

Then they left the tent and headed to their respective camps.

...

Gu Tingye came to the dam and ordered the stone beside him: "Destroy the dam!"

"Okay, young master."

Shi Tou responded and went to send an order.

The sacks containing dirt were moved away from the dam one after another, and a hole was finally opened on the dam.

With this hole, the water that had accumulated for ten days flowed towards Guangdu.
