The Northland is different from the South.

In the south, due to the warm and humid climate, some natural rivers, especially large rivers, are often pure natural barriers.

For example, Nanjing has always been a prosperous and prosperous place because it is blocked by the Yangtze River and is located above the river mouth.

But Northland is different.

Because of the cold weather, in summer, this kind of river can indeed serve as a barrier to block enemies. However, once winter comes and the river is frozen, it is almost like flat land without defenses.

If you rely on mountains, you can eat mountains; if you rely on water, you can eat water.

Because of the unique advantage of water sources, most cities in the south are very "water-friendly".

In particular, many craftsmen, including navy masters and generals, know water very well, and they are better at controlling water than the people in the North.

But in the Northland, such talents are relatively rare.

Although Li Yuanqing has explosive knowledge that transcends this world for five hundred years, in this state, he has no good solution at the moment.

When farming peoples fight against nomadic peoples, battles have always been the main method.

At this time, although under the guidance of Li Yuanqing, the firearms of the Changsheng Battalion had almost occupied an overwhelming advantage against the Hou Jin Army, but due to various complicated reasons, this advantage, to a certain extent, was still

It cannot be completely converted into a victory.

It's like 'I'm very thin, but it's not obvious'.

This means that before the decisive battle comes, Li Yuanqing must use some traditional military methods to continue and strengthen this initiative.

At this time, although Chen Zhong's words were somewhat helpless, they were extremely realistic and thorough.

The Ming army's defense along the Sancha River and this stream was indeed good, but it was limited to the passable river part. At this time, the Jin army took action in the upper reaches of the tributary, outside the actual control area of ​​the Ming army~, and Li Yuanqing could only

It is in a passive defensive state.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Brother, there is no point in rushing about this matter. However, I feel that this may be an opportunity for us."

"Well?"

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, but he understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, you, you mean..."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Tonight, I will help the sentry brothers at the front and continue to work hard all night!"

…………

At this time, in the official hall of Haizhou City.

Seeing the heavy rain falling all over the sky, Huang Taiji was almost dancing with excitement, and couldn't stop thinking silently in his heart: 'God bless Dajin, God bless Dajin.'

These days, on the surface, he is attacking the Ming Dynasty internally, but in fact, he has been intensively deploying the defense line on the eastern front.

It has reached this level, and Huang Taiji knows very well that if Li Yuanqing's arrogance is not killed, Dai Jin will probably be dragged into the endless quagmire by Li Yuanqing.

But he obviously didn't have such a big capital to fight Li Yuanqing, so he could only think of more subtle and effective methods.

Li Yuanqing's Haizhou New City was built next to a river. As such, nothing could be more direct than attacking with water.

However, this thing, if you want to avoid being noticed by Li Yuanqing, is completely relying on your face to make a living.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji has a bigger face, and even God betrays his face.

At this time, a servant hurriedly came to report: "Great Khan, something happened on the Eastern Front."

"What?"

Huang Taiji's expression suddenly changed and he grabbed the slave's shirt.

Although Huang Taiji had a generous heart and a fat body, at this time, he had only been on the throne for a few years and had been a soldier since he was a child. His fatness was by no means puffy, but solid and strong.

However, his skin is a bit white, making him look more like he is puffy.

But at this time, Huang Taiji almost strangled the personal guard slave to death with this blow.

The personal guard slave struggled for a few times before he regained his composure and hurriedly reported the conflict ahead to Huang Taiji in detail.

In terms of distance, the diagonal line from the Jin army's sentinel to Haizhou City is slightly closer than the straight line from the Ming army's sentinel to Haizhou New City.

But they crossed the river to the south, exchanged fire with Ming army sentries, and then changed places to cross the river. Naturally, the news came back a little slower.

After throwing this personal guard aside, Huang Taiji calmed down.

It is absolutely impossible for such a thing to go unnoticed by a hero like Li Yuanqing. After all, the sentries of the Ming Army are not just for free.

At this time, since the matter has been exposed, he can only hope that God will be more powerful and the offensive can be formed tonight.

Fortunately, the rain tonight was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was pouring down from the sky, which gave Huang Taiji a lot of confidence in his heart.

Even if the Changsheng Camp under Li Yuanqing was strong, how could it possibly go toe-to-toe with his elite-guarded camp in this kind of weather or at night?

…………

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was already midnight.

At this time, the rain was already falling very hard, pouring like crazy, and torrents of water were already pouring out of many drains under the city wall.

What Tucheng fears most is rain and weathering.

Even if there are green strips of stone to build the foundation, the rain outside can easily wash away the rammed earth included outside, not to mention that there are almost no stones in the Haizhou New City under Li Yuanqing's feet.

Fortunately, Xu Heizi's drainage facilities are very well constructed and abundant, so the water will not accumulate inside the city, but will flow into the moat outside the city in a blink of an eye.

However, weather like this always gives Li Yuanqing a bad premonition.

Normally, Li Yuanqing would like this kind of weather very much. It is just right for him to have a heart-to-heart talk with his lovely wife and concubine.

But at this time, this heavy rain is likely to cause a fatal crisis.

Next to him, Chen Zhong was also a little anxious and spat fiercely: "Fuck me! Yuan Qing, God is going to have trouble with us! If it rains harder again, this matter..."

Li Yuanqing raised his head and glanced at the sky, then looked at the many generals below who were busy directing the water release, and smiled and said: "Brother, do your best and obey fate. Some things cannot be forced, and things are not out of control yet.

Level. Don’t be anxious.”

Li Yuanqing had even prepared for the worst at this time.

If the rain really doesn't stop tonight and the Jin Army continues to store and release water, then Li Yuanqing and his sons will have to bear it with their flesh and blood.

Although the rain was heavy at this time, according to contemporary technical conditions, even if Huang Taiji stored water, most of it would be in mud pits. As a result, water loss would inevitably occur in the process.

In addition, the river surface of this tributary is very wide, more than fifty steps, and the river channel is always full. There is a gap of at least one and a half meters between the river surface and the upper water level of the river bank.

Although Haizhou New City is an earthen city, it can still withstand a certain amount of flood impact.

If we were in this state and rushed into the wilderness blindly, once the Jin army released the water, it would be a real disaster.

There are buildings in the city that can provide shelter, but in the wilderness, how can people escape the flood?

The most important thing is that the wind is not strong at this time. Although the rainstorm is fierce, without the help of the wind, the effect will be greatly reduced.

The men of Changsheng Camp, including Chen Zhong, Zhang Pan, and Chen Liangce, are all stationed at the seaside and have experience in dealing with tsunamis.

No matter how powerful Huang Taiji is, he can't do anything like a tsunami, right?

However, the diversion work in the city has already started.

Fortunately, there are no civilians in the city at this time, so the operation of a fully organized military system is much smoother and faster than if there are civilians mixed in with it.

Bumbutai and Su Moer had also arrived at the top of the city at this time.

Because of their relationship with Li Yuanqing, they were quickly led by soldiers to the north city where Li Yuanqing was.

However, Li Yuanqing was very busy now, and they did not dare to talk to Li Yuanqing. They hurriedly and carefully shrank into the city gate building to take shelter from the rain, and carefully looked outside.

Chen Liangce and Zhang Pan also finished packing up their military affairs at this time and hurried over to join Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, damn, it's not easy to go on like this. We are too passive. If the dog

If the Tatars come and get tough, we're afraid we'll suffer a loss."

Chen~Liangce's injury has healed a lot, but the wound is still wrapped with a white bandage. Fortunately, he is covered with two layers of raincoats, and there are soldiers holding umbrellas around him, so there is no need to worry about the rain soaking his wound.

.

His precious son Chen Wuyuan was also sent to his father's side by Li Yuanqing at this time to take care of Chen Liangce's safety, which made Chen Liangce even more grateful.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Brother Chen, don't worry. I was wondering, is it possible, is it possible to divert the flood from our side to Haizhou City?"

"Well....."

"this……"

As soon as Li Yuanqing said this, Chen Zhong, Chen Liangce, Zhang Pan and others couldn't help but be shocked.

Chen~ Liangce's mouth was about to be stuffed with eggs, "Yuan Qing, this, how is this possible?"

Li Yuanqing smiled, waved his hand and said to Yang Lei: "Go, send someone to call Heizi over! Hurry!"

"yes."

Yang Lei hurriedly sent someone to call Xu Heizi who was directing the busy staff below.

Li Yuanqing pointed to the river in front and said with a smile: "Brothers, brothers, although the terrain of Haizhou is flat, the south is still slightly higher than the north. Although this thing is not obvious, if you look carefully, you can still see something

It’s a clue. Look, there are several small rivers ahead, all flowing from the direction of Haizhou. What do you think will be the effect if we do some tricks on these small rivers?”
