Chapter 7: Gu Zhen (7)
"But can you find a sufficient amount of oil for kerose?" he turned to ask the elite generals beside him.
When the general heard this, he immediately nodded, "I brought a lot with the army, what is the use of the prince?"
Gu Zhen's eyebrows swelled with excitement, and he raised his hand to point on the map, and his finger was like a sword.
"I'm going to blow the boulders off these two mountains. ”
As the words fell, the four or five generals standing around them suddenly looked at each other.
"Blow up the mountain, the prince of the world, the boulder on this mountain will burst, the river will be blocked, the river will be blocked, the river will go against the current, and the Qibei City, which is located downstream, will not be ......?"
A general exclaimed, and suddenly understood what Gu Zhen was going to do, "The prince wants to follow the example of the Qin State to flood Yuncheng and flood Qibei?"
As soon as he spoke, the rest of the generals suddenly realized.
Gu Zhen's eyes were full of scorching, "That's right! The mountains have veins and water, as long as this vein is opened, this river can be used by me." ”
The general immediately shook his head, "No, the white water flooded Yuncheng, it was the enemy army of the enemy country that was flooded, in the city of Qibei, but I am the people of the court, not to mention, the army of Qibei is still in the city, and the prince can't ignore their lives." ”
The others chimed in, "That's right, Lord Shizi, this plan can't be used!"
Gu Zhen shook his head with a smile, "What if all the people in the city are withdrawn?"
The generals were stunned.
"Withdraw? How to withdraw, do you want these enemy troops in South Vietnam and Liaodong to take the initiative to make way for them?"
Gu Zhen smiled calmly on his face, and felt more and more that his idea was simply brilliant, "In the dense forest fifty miles outside Qibei City, there is a dry well, and this dry well is a secret passage to General Gusu's Mansion. ”
This incident was told to him by Gu Suyan in Qingquan Temple that day.
I didn't expect that so soon, this secret would come in handy!
When several generals heard this, they immediately understood Gu Zhen's intentions, and they strongly opposed it just now, but they were eager to try it at this moment.
Gu Zhen immediately assigned two generals to secretly sneak into the dense forest, enter the city through the secret passage, and tell General Gusu about his arrangements and deployment.
Instead, without stopping, with the rest of the generals, went to the river to survey the terrain.
When it got dark, the two generals who were ordered by Gu Zhen finally sneaked into the city secretly, and in the second half of the night, a fire signal came from the city.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Gu Zhen could see clearly, it was a signal that General Gusu agreed to his arrangement.
Immediately, all the fire oil that Gu Zhen ordered the people to bring was all climbed and brushed on both sides of the mountain to be fried.
As soon as all the people in the city were evacuated, they set fire to the mountain.
The secret passage was long and narrow, and the people in the city had a large number of soldiers, and if they wanted to withdraw all of them without attracting the detection of the enemy troops outside the city, the evacuation proceeded extremely slowly.
The elderly and sick in the city gathered in front of the Gusu General's Mansion to petition for the priority evacuation of the Qibei army in the city, and then the children, the able-bodied young men and women, who were old and weak, sick and disabled, willing to stay in front of the city gate and lure the enemy army.
General Gusu refused, "Everyone evacuates with peace of mind, with the Gusu family here, this matter will not fall on everyone." ”
An old man burst into tears and fell to the ground crying, "Please listen to me, I am old, weak, sick and disabled, even if we escape, it is a burden, and it will not play any role in resisting foreign enemies, but the generals are different, the Qibei army is different, they are the ones who really kill the enemy, only if they live well, we can only be saved in Qibei, as for the people, the young and strong, the young and strong, the young and the young, children and women, they are alive and well, and we Qibei will be able to renew the fireworks." ”
No one understands this truth.
But the reason is so, but General Gusu can't do it seriously, "Raise troops for a day, use troops for a while, you obey the arrangement and retreat." ”
Seeing that General Gusu refused to agree, several old men couldn't afford to kneel, "If the general doesn't agree, I'll wait for a few, and I'll kneel and die here, Qibei can't do without the Qibei Army, but you can do without a few of us, a few of us, the greatest value is to lure the enemy to buy time for everyone to withdraw, and beg the general to give us a chance!"
As he spoke, the people behind him shouted, "I also beg the general, give us the opportunity to guard Qibei, Qibei is not only the general's Qibei, but also our Qibei." ”
"General, it is true that people need to lure the enemy after the aftermath......" The request of several old men made the adjutant general standing on the side of General Gusu feel a little moved.
It was only before he opened his mouth that General Gusu turned his head and slapped him on the head, "Bastard! Eating military rations, you should be ready to sacrifice for the people at any time!"
After the words fell, General Gusu said: "It's a person from Qibei, you have to listen to my dispatch, if it is a last resort, I will definitely give everyone the opportunity to serve Qibei, now, it is not yet exhaustive, everyone evacuates with peace of mind, if it is delayed, what will happen, I can't say for sure!"
As soon as the words fell, General Gusu raised his hand and signaled that a few soldiers would take away these people who came to petition.
It took three days and two nights for the people of the city to evacuate from the city.
The last to leave was naturally the Gusu General's Mansion.
Gu Suyan and his brother and brother helped their mother and grandmother to walk into the secret passage, and at the same time, General Gusu was at the entrance of the secret passage, lighting green smoke.
The green smoke rises and rises to the sunny sky.
The enemy troops outside the city gate saw the green smoke rising from the city, and saw that all the guards on the city gate had withdrawn half an hour ago, and noticed that something was wrong, and began to attack the city gate frantically.
The stakes slammed hard, and the unguarded gates were vulnerable.
However, in the blink of an eye, the combined forces of South Vietnam and Liaodong poured into the city like locusts and termites.
The secret passage had already been blown up by General Gusu, so they naturally couldn't find it.
But there was not a single living person in the city, except for the cattle that roamed around, and the joy of breaking through the city gate in an instant was of course gone, and in its place was a deep sense of fear and anxiety, which spread rapidly among the enemy army.
What about people?
Where have all the people gone?
Could it be that there are ghosts?
The enemy troops who poured into the city were terrified, and the enemy troops who did not enter the city gate were still crowded in a steady stream......
While the crowd was in confusion, a loud bang suddenly came from the mountain overhead, followed by several loud noises one after another.
Bang bang bang......
The mountain exploded, Gu Zhen, who was standing on the mountain, felt the tremor of the earthquake, and saw the mountain under his feet being blown apart by fire oil, and the boulder rolled down, and in a blink of an eye, a strong embankment was built in the mountain, and the river was suddenly blocked, and the river surface was highly skilled.
As the level of the river continued to rise, the river finally went backwards, and the surging river, like a beast, rushed down the river and went straight to the city at the foot of the mountain.
On Gu Zhen's side, several generals were full of ecstasy, "The prince is done, it's done, it's done!"
