Chapter 30 Open the floodgates and pour out the Shu division, and the Shu soldiers surrendered
At the end of the day, the people in the city retreated to the higher ground in the city one after another under the arrangement of Du Yu and Zijuan. And Wu Weiyi climbed the city wall with the soldiers, waiting for Mo Zhai and his party to go to the Jingma River to dig a ditch and discharge the flood.
waited until three o'clock in the morning, but there was no movement on the other side of the Jingma River. Wu Weiyi was a little panicked after waiting:
"What's going on? Why hasn't there been any movement yet? Could it be that Mo Zhai and what difficulties they encountered? ”
At this time, I suddenly heard a secret message from outside the West Gate:
"Report! …… Reporting to Mr. Wu, Mo Zhai sent someone to report that he saw another group of people stationed downstream on the other side of the Jingma River, but he didn't know who the people and horses were. Out of caution, Mr. Mo sneaked into the opponent's military camp alone, and took out a pair of jade talismans from the opponent's commander's tent, and sent it to Mr. Wu to take a look, please take it! ”
Wu Weiyi took the jade talisman and looked at it carefully, only to see that this object looked like a hook jade, and the whole body was red, but it was like the color of the big tripod in the fish city. Moreover, whether it is cutting or grinding, it can be said that the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite, and you can recognize this thing at a glance!
"Chiguang? This...... Isn't it the spring and autumn period, the extremely rare red onyx?! And...... Look at it as an object...... Could it be that this thing is a token of the Zoroastrian Cult? ……”
At this moment, another person hurriedly ran from under the city tower and said to Wu Weiyi:
"Mr. Wu, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived."
It turned out that the princess Du Yu saw that there was no movement in and out of the city for a long time, and she was afraid that the situation had changed, so she couldn't rest assured, so she came to inquire about the situation in person.
"Mr. Wu, it's almost past the hour now, why haven't you seen any movement outside the city?"
Wu Weiyi saw that it was a princess, so he handed over the tooth that Mo Zhai had stolen, and said:
"Princess, please see, Mo Zhai sent someone to send this thing, saying that a mysterious group of people and horses were stationed on the other side of the Jingma River. Mo Zhai felt that something was wrong, so he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards in the other camp's camp and stole this thing from the camp tent. ”
While listening, Du Yu also carefully picked up the magatayu and examined it carefully. When she saw this, she was first taken aback, and then her brows were tightly knit on her face, with a thoughtful look:
"Don't hide it from Mr. Wu, this thing ...... I'm so familiar! ”
Wu Weiyi was shocked when he heard this:
"The princess knows this? So where did it come from? Is that friend or foe? What is the purpose? ”
After pondering for a while, Du Yu replied with some hesitation:
"I vaguely remember this...... Sister Shi used to carry a piece with her, but except for the different colors, the rest are the same! When I was young, I saw that it was strange and exquisite, so I asked her, but she only said that it was a bequest from her father, so she always wore it with me and talked about it. ”
Wu Weiyi heard Du Yu say this, and he was even more confused:
"So what is this team trying to do? If they want to help you, why don't you go into the city and garrison? If it is really a sect of the Divine Cult, how can it not join forces with Du Jiang? Now they are stationed in a place that has nothing to do with either of us! ”
Just when the two of them hesitated and were at a loss, they heard Zijuan stand aside and say to them quite neatly:
"Mr. Wu, princess, now that the arrow is on the bow, I have to send it. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, let's give it a go! No matter what the intentions of this team are, if Du Jiang always surrounds Picheng, the danger of Picheng will not be solved for a day. ”
Listening to Du Yu's words were very resolute and resolute, Wu Weiyi secretly surprised himself in his heart. Then he thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case, so he said to the herald sent by Mo Zhai:
"Let Brother Mo Xiaoxian not be burdened by this matter, first retreat from Dujiang Shushi, and then it's not too late to discuss."
The man also heard it clearly, and he took the command and turned back.
......
After about an hour, I saw countless birds flying out of the forest from between the valleys for no reason, and for a time, the birds covered the sun, as if black clouds were pressing down on the city. The soldiers in the Du Jiang camp only felt that the sky was sinking, and when they looked up, they only saw a flock of birds flying in the air, but they didn't know why. Immediately afterwards, a group of beasts on the outskirts of the mountain also seemed to be frightened, and they all rushed towards the camp of the Dujiang Shu Division at the bottom of the mountain.
At this time, Wu Weiyi and Du Yu were standing at the head of the city, watching with bated breath everything that happened under the mountain.
Gradually, there was a faint sound of water rushing through the dense forests on the hillside, and it turned out that it was the sound of the flood caused by the mountain washing away the trees at great speed:
"It's the flood! Be...... It's a flood! The flood is coming! ”
Only to listen to the east, the soldiers of the Shu army outside the second gate of the south saw the flood coming, so they all threw away their armor and rushed to the high ground to escape. But many people did not have time to run, and in an instant the flood followed the feet of these people, and then they were immediately overturned by the oncoming flood force and rolled into the flood. And those deer barricades and wooden fences that were originally planted on the periphery of the Shu division camp in Dujiang were also invaded by the flood, and they all became single trees floating on the water in an instant. Those Shu soldiers who were caught in the flood rushed to grab those driftwood to borrow strength. Some even fought each other in order to compete for driftwood.
At the same time, Picheng was really as safe and sound as Mo Zhai said, surrounded by floods, and as stable as Mount Tai. The city gates were closed tightly, and they were closed tightly, and I saw that the middle seams of the city gates were actually filled with a kind of gum. The underground stone canal that was originally connected to the outside of the city, at this time, the flood outside the city was not drip and did not flow into the city through the pipeline, and the flood control mechanism designed by Mo Zhai, the Shuiguan Yue Dam, really blocked the flood outside the city. The people of the city exchanged their heads and praised the subtlety and craftsmanship of the organs here.
Wu Weiyi stood on top of the city tower and saw everything in front of him clearly and clearly. After about half an hour, the flood water had diminished, but the situation outside the city was already a mess, and the hills and ravines, which were a little higher than the valley floor, were now divided into islands in the flood. The Shu soldiers were scattered and separated by these "isolated islands".
"Good! Quickly put down the bamboo chops! ”
Wu Weiyi gave an order, and saw that on the city wall, all the soldiers left the bamboo rafts that had been prepared to go down to the city, and those bamboo rafts floated on the water surface when they encountered water. Moreover, the area of this bamboo row is huge, and there are enough people to stand on each bamboo row, so it is also unusually stable to float in the flood.
The soldiers of Picheng have gone down from the city wall to the bamboo row, the front row raised the shield, the back row raised the Ge from the shield protruded, the morale of the soldiers was high, and they were all ready to fight. Subsequently, Wu Weiyi and Zijuan each ordered a team, divided into two roads, and climbed these "isolated islands" divided by the flood one by one.
Whenever Wu Weiyi came to a place, he would order someone to shout loudly:
"All the soldiers of Shu, everyone is a compatriot of Shu! As long as you abandon your sword, you will be caught! The princess has always been kind and kind, and when the war subsides, she will go back! Never break your word! ……”
At present, the Shu army in Dujiang was already a collapsed army, and it was trapped by floods on all sides, and it had no intention of fighting. And before, in order to make it easier to survive, he lost his armor along the way, and the weapons in his hands were discarded in the flood casually. Therefore, now these Shu soldiers have no shield in their hands, and they want to fight without a shield, which can be said to have really become a knife and fish.
The vast majority of Shu soldiers listened to Wu Weiyi's shout and found that they still had a way to live, so they all took the initiative to disarm and surrender, and then they were tied with their backhands and escorted back to the city on a bamboo raft. However, there are also a very small number of Shu soldiers who are extremely fierce, knowing that there is only a dead end in stubborn resistance, but they still resist to the end in the land of projectiles.
As a result, although the overall situation has already been decided, Wu Weiyi is still worried at this time. What he is worried about now is to find out where Du Jiang is as soon as possible. He knew that if he didn't take this opportunity to capture Du Jiang, the trouble of Shu would not end. After a careful search, Wu Weiyi really found Du Jiang on a "lonely island":
"Wu has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."
I saw Na Du Jiang sitting cross-legged on a stone bench, with his head bowed. Although he is already unkempt, as usual, he still has a domineering aura all over his body. Hearing Wu Weiyi's voice, he just sneered, twisted his head back, and sat there silently, ignoring Wu Weiyi. Wu Weiyi saw that Du Jiang was still so stubborn to this day, and after saluting and getting up, he shook his head, and continued to say to him:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Wu once said to His Royal Highness that 'soldiers are the most vicious weapons in the world', and they use too many soldiers to harm others and themselves. Is that the fulfillment of that today? The prince could have inherited the prince with peace of mind, but Wu really didn't know why His Royal Highness had to kill his sister? Even if Your Highness is not the biological flesh and blood of the former king, the former king treats your Royal Highness as if you were his own. The first king and princess all trust you so much, isn't it chilling for you to act like this?! ”
Du Jiang raised his head slightly, squinted at Wu Weiyi, only to hear his low voice, and uttered command-like words:
"The surname is Wu! Take this king to see Princess Nishikori, this king wants to meet Du Yu alone! ”
Wu Weiyi listened to Du Jiang say this on the side, and he was a little shocked at first. But he didn't dare to slack off, so he asked someone to take Du Jiang down. Du Jiang was brought on a bamboo row by the guards all the way:
"Let me go! I'm also the King of Shu now! Although the defeated generals are unspeakably brave, this king cannot suffer such humiliation here! Untie it for me! ”
The guards on the left and right who were holding Du Jiang listened to his reprimand, and they all hesitated, and their eyes all looked at Wu Weiyi, hoping that Wu Weiyi would cut this matter. Wu Weiyi looked at Du Jiang and thought to himself:
"Forget it...... A thousand mistakes, after all, he is also the princess's brother of the same clan. The so-called punishment is not a doctor, and it is indeed quite rude to treat the people of the royal family like this. ”
So, Wu Weiyi glanced at the two of them and asked them to untie all the hemp ropes on Du Jiang's body. Seeing that Du Jiang had just been untied, he immediately put his hand into his cuffs. Wu Weiyi's guards were shocked when they looked left and right, and raised Changge towards him to show vigilance.
Du Jiang looked around, but then he just sneered, then lowered his head and calmly took out an object from his cuff. Everyone looked at him fixedly, and it turned out to be the Holy Flame Fangzhang. I saw that he threw it to Wu Weiyi very lightly:
"This is the Shu State Talisman, seeing this thing is like seeing this king. Take it with you, and the other generals will obey you when they see it. These Shu soldiers are all brothers who have been born and died with this king for many years, and some of them are definitely not something you can threaten with your life. This defeat is the fault of this king alone, and has nothing to do with the soldiers under this king, and it is indeed not worth it if they lose their lives in vain here. ”
After Du Jiang finished speaking, he glared at Wu Weiyi angrily, then turned around and stood at the head of the line, closed his eyes and stared, and did not speak again. And Wu Weiyi didn't dare to look at him anymore, but just retreated respectfully. Since then, sure enough, with this thing, the remnants of all the soldiers of Shu have surrendered one after another, and there will be no more people who continue to resist.
