Chapter 511: Soldiers and Food Sufficient
Yongnian City North.
The sky to the east is slightly white, and the morning light is slight.
In the upper reaches of the Fuyang River, the Zhao army's civil servants were still building dams overnight. On both sides of the dam, two thousand Zhao troops were ambushed in the reeds and were waiting for battle. The bed crossbows, three-arrow crossbows, rockets, small boats, etc. should be equipped with all of them. Iron piles were also set up in the shallows to prevent the enemy's naval army from stealing the dam.
"It seems that it is time to dig the dam for seven days." Looking at the dam, Li Chongjiu said happily.
The Fuyang River Dam is half a mile long and three feet high. It took seven days to build a civil servant 30,000 people and 20,000 soldiers. Now the dam is crowded with soldiers from the Zhao army in the capital, and civil servants.
Xu Shiji replied to Li Chongjiu: "Your Majesty, you can do it at any time. Most of our soldiers have retreated to the high ground, and Xue Wanche led 3,000 soldiers to guard Lincheng Tushan."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Start digging the dam!"
After receiving the order from Li Chongjiu, more than a dozen large ships sailed down the upper reaches of the Fuyang River. Cheng Mingzhen led hundreds of navy troops to destroy the dam with huge trees. Then Hong Tao rolled in. As the embankment was dug, he immediately rushed towards Yongnian City. The soldiers and civil servants of the Zhao army near the embankment took action together, throwing large rocks and earth bags into the lower reaches of the Fuyang River, allowing the river to divert the route, and all rushed to Yongnian City.
In Yongnian City, the Xia army on the city wall was already shivering when they saw the torrent running towards him. The soldiers on the city wall were walking around like headless flies. While walking around, they shouted: "Zhao army has broken up and flooded the city, run away quickly!"
After hearing this, the Xia soldiers and people in the city were even more panicked and cried everywhere.
Liu Heita rushed to the city with his sword and shouted at the soldiers running around, "Don't panic, I will keep my own positions for me, and those who violate the order will be killed."
Under Liu Heita's power, the Xia army soldiers calmed down slightly. Liu Heita looked up and saw a yellow torrent that flooded the woods and fields. He rolled straight towards Yongnian City. The Zhao army camp under the city was also involved in the torrent.
However, Liu Heita saw the flood flooding the Zhao army camp, and it was silent, and it was obvious that the building was empty.
Immediately afterwards, the torrent built the city directly under the city. There were two moats in Yongnian City, both of which were built by attracting the water of Yang. When the water came, it directly filled the first moat, and the water level slowed down slightly, but the waves followed and crossed the first moat and directly submerged the second moat.
The yellow tide hit the city wall, but one wave was not settled. The wave rose again and again. The original river channel in the middle of the river, the Fuyang River, was almost blocked. Now the river diverted to the road and vented directly under the Yongnian City. The rolling torrent flow was endless and endless, and it poured into the city, and its unstoppable appearance made the soldiers on the city tremble with their feet.
Seeing that the water was in a hurry, Liu Shishan shouted loudly: "Brother, it's dangerous here."
Liu Heita pushed Liu Shishan away and shouted, "What are you panic!"
But seeing the tide hitting the walls of Yongnian City, it suddenly overflowed several feet high. The city walls built by loess resisted the huge waves. Seeing that the city walls were fighting against the flood, the soldiers calmed down a little.
But the water still flows straight into Yongnian City from the city gate.
When Liu Heita saw this, he shook his head and said, "Hurry, guard the granary, don't let water enter the granary."
"promise!"
After his brother Liu Shishan was ordered, he rode his horse directly from the city wall and ran away from the horse road. The water flooded into Yongnian City very quickly. The streets instantly accumulated a foot of water. Liu Shishan's war horse stepped by the water, and the streets were filled with Xia soldiers running around.
In front of the fangmen on the street next to the street, countless people slapped the fangmen and said, "Hurry, okay, let us out. Let us out."
The Fangguan Fangding outside the fangmen shouted to the inside of the fangmen: "Why are you crying? It's useful to cry here. Go back to their respective houses and go up to the beams. I'll guarantee you're fine."
After hearing the words of the arch-official officials, Liu Shishan felt helpless. These ordinary people were all old houses. They could get a large lump of soil when they were broken up on their own. They would urinate and make holes. Once the water flooded, how many houses could be saved. But now the 20,000 Xia troops in the city were unable to protect themselves. Liu Shishan had no time to care about the safety of the people, and immediately urged his horse to go straight to the granary.
Now the city of Yongnian has become a country of marsh. From the top of the mountain, Yongnian City has almost become an island in the lake. The shortest wall in the east seems to be a shorter, and one-third of it has been lost under the flood. The earth-yellow city wall floats alone on the water, and the soldiers of the Xia army stood weakly at the top of the city, helplessly.
The main force of the Zhao army had already moved all the camps and set up formations to the high ground in the east of the city. The Zhao army soldiers watched the scene of the flooding of Yongnian City, while the water of the Fuyang River was still rolling towards the city.
Li Chongji, Xu Shiji and others simply took a boat to inspect the battle situation of the water attack Yongnian City. After reading it, they were very satisfied with the results of the water attack strategy. They immediately turned to the Tushan Mountain guarded by Xue Wanche in the east of the city.
Li Chongji and Xu Shiji came to the Tushan Mountain together to look out. The flood had already spread into Yongnian City. As soon as the flood arrived, the houses in the city were soaked in the mud and sand. Yongnian City was now flooding.
Xue Wanche couldn't help but sneer and said, "Liu Heita doesn't know how many days can it last?"
Xu Shiji said, "Don't be careless. General Xue, in my opinion, the city has not been destroyed, and you still need to be cautious."
Li Chongjiu said, "Then wait."
"Master, I am only worried about the Turks..." Xue Wanshu said with concern.
Just then, a boat rushed to Tushan to dock. Zhang Xuansu got off the boat and went straight to Tushan and said to Li Chongjiu: "Report to the king, General Ma Han, the king of Handan, reported that Yu Wenhua and the elite troops from Wei County led 20,000 to the west of Handan."
Xu Shiji heard this and said, "Yu Wenji really can't sit still."
"I am really unwilling to be lonely. I didn't wait for us to attack Wei County, but I came to the city to die." Xue Wanshu said angrily.
Li Chongjiu said, "Why do you have to get angry? Yu Wenhua and his arrival to help Yongnian City are reasonable."
Xue Wanshu said: "Yu Wenji also knows that after we capture Yongnian City and destroy Liu Heita, the next step must be to encompass Hebei. For Yu Wenji, both armies are both defeated and both are in trouble, 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 Heita's dying and Li Tang's attack on Zheng in the south, and rise again."
Xu Shiji said: "Yu Wenji is very good at fighting. He thought that our army fought with Liu Heita in blood and his teacher was at the city. Who knew that our army was now strong and had enough food."
The generals nodded at the same time. Li Chongji looked at the generals on the Tushan Mountain and said, "Very good. Xu Shiji obeyed the order. You will lead 30,000 troops to station here and continue to attack Yongnian City. I and the other generals led 30,000 troops to Handan to fight Yu Wenji."
"No." The generals agreed with each other.
Inside Handan City.
Several Zhao soldiers escorted one to the lobby.
This man tried hard to shout: "Don't kill me, I am a member of the Yuwen family. How could you peddlers and barbarians kill? Believe me or not..."
After this person was taken to the lobby, a general with a bearded face was sitting in the hall. When he saw the other party, he laughed and said, "Damn, don't be rude. What should I do if I hurt Mr. Yuwen? I won't apologize to Mr. Yuwen."
After hearing this, the soldiers on both sides quickly apologized to the other party. The man snorted and said, "What are you doing? Let's be tough first and then soften this trip. Do I think I, Yuwen Zhiji, have less?"
Wang Mahan laughed and went up to the foreword and said, "Where are you trying to use tricks in front of Mr. Yuwen? I have invited Mr. Yuwen to sit in this section for a long time. I'm here to release Mr. Yuwen."
At that moment, Wang Mahan loosened Yuwen Zhiji and said to the door: "Are you ready for the wine and food?"
"Prepare."
"Hurry, send it in. I want to shock Mr. Yuwen today."
Yuwen Zhiji was secretly puzzled. He thought that Zhao Xia and the other two countries would die after they broke up. Unexpectedly, Wang Mahan would actually let him go. There must be something strange about it. At this moment, Yuwen Zhiji was also vain and said with a smile: "General Wang, what are you talking about?"
After saying that, the two sat down and each drank to each other. Yu Wen Zhi and said with a tentative voice: "General Wang wants to let go, may the two countries have made a deal now?"
Wang Mahan sighed and said, "I am a rough man, so I'm right away. At present, King Zhao is leading the besiege of Yongnian City of Liu Heita. Now the two armies are stalemate at the city, and the outcome is not decided. But your brother seems to be interested... Alas, I know we have done a little before, so please let the brother ignore the past and why are the two families going to fight?"
"Did you turn swords into jade?" Yu Wen Zhi and his current confident smile.
"Yes, yes, that's it," Wang Mahan touched his head and said with a sincere expression, "King Zhao asked brother to bring a message to Brother Ling, and said that as long as the two families can stop the army, after our army captured Yongnian City, Ji and Wuyang counties could be rewarded. How about the two families always be friendly?"
If you believe you, there will be a ghost. What a Li Chongjiu, he designed to cheat me and my elder brother. Yuwen Zhiji sneered in his heart, but said with a smile: "This is so great. If you can't help but have to do it, you will have to do it. Why not? I will go back and persuade my elder brother. You are here to wait for good news."
Wang Mahan was very happy at the moment, and the two drank a few more drinks. Wang Mahan immediately urged Yu Wen Zhiji to get up quickly.
Yuwen Zhiji had this intention, so he took advantage of the situation to say goodbye. The escorts who came to Zhao Jun as the squad were also released. Yuwen Zhiji and his entourage looked surprised and happy, and it was hard to believe that they could escape from heaven like this.
At that moment, Yu Wen Zhi and his followers drove in a hurry and hurriedly left the west gate of Handan.
At this moment, Yu Wenhua and Zheng led 20,000 elite troops to rush to Handan, and met Yu Wen Zhi and his party on the way.
When Yu Wenhua and the two brothers met, they both burst into tears and hugged each other and cried for a while.
After crying for a while, Yu Wenhuaji asked, "How did you escape from Zhao Jun?"
