Chapter 648: Water Battle
Under the command of several commanders, the soldiers began to build bridges according to the methods provided by Xiao Diyuan, while Xiao Diyuan and Jiang Yuetang took this opportunity to go to the side and discuss how to deal with the enemy army next.
"If they pass through and enter the heart of the Zhao Kingdom, no matter how strong our walls are, they will not be able to withstand their attacks. Jiang Yuetang said.
"Well," Xiao Diyuan nodded, "so we have to prevent them from entering the center of the Zhao Kingdom, and this is about three hundred miles away from the center of the Zhao Kingdom, so let's find a way to save ourselves from these three hundred miles." ”
Jiang Yuetang said: "Most of the three hundred miles ahead of here are plains, there are not many residents, and the road conditions are easy to walk, it is not easy to stop them, not to mention that our troops are not enough to stop them." ”
Xiao Diyuan pondered for a while and said, "Isn't there a dam on the road from Jinxiao Prefecture to Lile Prefecture? We can stop and drown the enemy army by destroying the dam and causing it to cause a big flood." He added, "We only need to inform the residents around the dam in advance to evacuate the area." ”
Jiang Yuetang couldn't help but perk up when she heard this, and said sincerely: "The Third Highness is really resourceful, then let's do it." ”
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yuetang said: "I'm a little worried that the local residents will not evacuate, after all, this is where their ancestors have lived for generations." ”
Xiao Diyuan said: "What is it compared to the safety of the country? I believe that most people can figure it out, but there are a small number of people who are unwilling, and we will do their ideological work at that time, and if it is not possible, they will have to leave as soon as the dam is destroyed." ”
In such an emergency, it is impossible to take care of everyone's thoughts.
Jiang Yuetang also realized this, so she immediately said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
So Xiao Diyuan called several other generals to discuss the specific operation of evacuating and destroying the dam.
In the end, they decided to wait for the enemy to arrive there before suddenly opening the sluice gates of the dam and destroying the buildings on the dam, causing the water to rush down like an army.
This would result in an estimated death of at least two or three hundred thousand people.
At the same time as the flood retreat was carried out, our troops quickly received weapon support from the headquarters in the capital and attacked while the enemy was unable to counterattack, and in such a situation it would be difficult for the enemy to outnumber us.
After the discussion, Xiao Diyuan immediately wrote a letter to Li Pei, informing Li Pei of the specific operation matters, and asking Li Pei to cooperate accordingly.
Although he didn't get along much with Li Pei, he knew that Li Pei was a person who had a strong sense of the overall situation and had a clear grasp of the situation, so he believed that Li Pei's side would definitely cooperate strongly.
Sure enough, after receiving the letter, Li Pei immediately sent all the guns, ammunition, chariots and other equipment, and sent 35,000 newly recruited volunteers.
Now, the total number of Zhao troops is more than 600,000, although it is still far behind the number of enemy troops, but it is much more confident.
The enemy army began to march before the fire on the mountain was extinguished, but because the volcano was full of flames, and the trees in the mountain forest were burned to ashes, when the horses passed by, they would raise real soot, causing black smoke to billow from the scene, so the speed of the march was much slower than expected.
When the enemy army arrived at the Chuyun River, it was already the morning of the next day, but seeing that the river was turbulent and there was no bridge over the river, they had to stop to discuss the way to cross the river.
They discussed until the afternoon to come up with a way to cross the river, and by this time the Zhao army had already obtained the weapons of Li Pei's new support and was conducting a drill before the decisive battle.
The enemy finally crossed the Chu Canal and immediately went quickly in the direction of Zhaoguo, but they did not expect to hear a deafening roar when they entered the dam section of Jinxiao Prefecture, and when they saw the source of the sound clearly, the water was already surging towards them with white waves.
The enemy was unexpected, and all those who walked in front were swept away by the flood, and together with the horses they were riding, there were cries for help and scolding in an instant.
The enemy forces behind had to stop for a while.
When the water from the dam was almost flowing, the enemy began to cross the river.
They were only halfway crossed, and the Zhao army came to the riverbank, and with an order, some of them fired arrows at the enemy, and some of them rushed towards the enemy in boats.
Ye is a country of mountains and forests, and the soldiers of Ye lack actual combat experience in water warfare.
