Chapter 45: Water Attack

Looking at the dark field, Zhang Zhong suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said categorically: "Li Zhen, you have two fire sergeants on horse, one fire along the Han River, and the other fire along the Xun River that flows into the Han River in front, check if there is anyone who is swimming to build a dam to stop the water!" ”

"Build a dam to hold back the water?" Li Zhen was shocked: "Commander Zhang, do you mean that there is little water in Hanshui, is it because someone is blocking the water?" That. 【Latest chapter reading. 】…… That ......"

Li Zhen "that" for a long time, and there was nothing "that" coming out, but his meaning is clear in the chapter: Isn't someone who wants to irrigate Loess Town?

The terrain of Loess Town is steep, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is at the key point of east-west traffic. At that time, the Chu army built a city in Loess Town to guard the gateway of Shannan Dongdao, and this decision was certainly right. It's a pity that the people who built the city at that time didn't think it through. In other words, the people who built the city only thought about how to control this important road perfectly. In order to achieve the effect of perfect control, the people who built the city not only filled part of the river channel of the Han River, but also artificially raised the remaining veins of Xiyi Mountain on the other side of the Han River, which increased the difficulty of climbing, and completely included the other bank of the Han River into the scope of bow and arrow shooting in the Loess City.

But what if the enemy attacks with water? First, the Hanshui waterway is narrow, and when the flood comes, the amount of flood discharge is not large; Second, the right bank of the Han River is the city wall of the loess town, and the left bank is the artificially increased Xiyi Mountain, the loess town and the Xiyi Mountain, the throat of the twin peaks, when the flood comes, the expansion of the loess town, or the inundation area is insufficient, so that the water level of the Han River will inevitably skyrocket, and it is very likely to pour back into the loess city. If the enemy rafts down, the walls of Loess Town will probably be useless.

Zhang Zhong suddenly realized this problem, and on the one hand, he ordered Li Zhen to select men and horses to prepare to go out of the city to investigate, and on the other hand, he ordered the sergeant to notify the other people who were resting in the city to speed up the delivery of grain and grass to the reconnaissance post on the right side of Loess Town. Loess Town is dangerous, the danger is in the city wall, if the city wall has no effect, then you can only fight the number of people, you only have 500 people. In case the Loess City is lost, he will only be able to reconnoiter the terrain and deal with the enemy.

Li Zhende ordered, just turned around, and suddenly heard the sound of "...... bang". The dark night was so quiet, and the sound as crisp as a wind chime spread easily, making Zhang Zhong and Li Zhen shocked. This lively and cheerful sound of water was like a thunderclap that hit the hearts of the two of them.

Enemy...... Did the enemy release the water? Zhang Zhong rolled his eyes, if the water has just been discharged, then since the river has not been filled by the water, then the sound of the water is similar to the rapids of the Han River when it rains, if it ...... If the sound of the "whooshing" water is gone, and replaced by a "noisy" sound, then ...... That means the water is really starting to rise.

"Li Zhen, you send someone to Xicheng to check on the situation in Xicheng." Zhang Zhong said eagerly, he saw Li Zhende order to turn around and leave, and immediately saw it: "Come back, the herald will concentrate all the people and horses in the first capital in Beicheng, and the people and horses in the second capital should hurry up and post the grain and grass." ”

"Commander Zhang, that ...... What about the West City and the South City? ”

Zhang Zhong smiled bitterly and pursed his lips: "If the enemy wants to release the water, he must want to take a boat to take advantage of the water and attack the city." The water in Xicheng is very strong, and they are not a naval army, so they take a boat temporarily, who has the ability to stop the boat in Xicheng? As for the southern city, the flood water is not discharged, and the water on the southern side of the city will definitely not rise, and there is a city wall, and it is not easy for the enemy to climb it. Besides, we're in the north city, and the enemy wants to go to the south city, hehe......"

Li Zhenhui got the order to go, and the entire loess town was mobilized immediately, and most of the time passed to transport grain and the city garrison, and the water level of the Han River became higher and higher, gradually overflowing the river bank and rushing to the loess town. The walls of Loess Town and Xiyi Mountain are like two floodgates cutting through the floodwater, leaving only a small slit.

"Woo woo...... I don't know if it's the sound of the wind, or the sound of the water, or even the flood carrying the wind to swallow everything in the night, rushing straight towards the loess town.

Black clouds crush the city. It is the true portrayal of Loess Town at this time. Under the thick night, except for the area of more than ten meters at the head of the city under the illumination of lanterns and torches, the whole world is black.

"The archers are ready!" At the head of the city, Zhang Zhong stared angrily into the distance and said loudly. The water level of the Han River is rising higher and higher, and it is gradually about to be equal to the head of the city. However, the rate of this water level has gradually slowed down.

What does it mean that the speed of the rise is slow? It shows that the swimming water is almost drained, and it shows that the enemy's attack is coming. In war, what I want is the word "stability", not playing drifting, pursuing excitement. Since the enemy wants to attack the city with the help of the water, he will never attack the city with a surge in the water level. At that time, the ship rushed down from the swim, the water speed was fast, the speed of the ship was also fast, it was not easy to control the enemy, but it was not a naval army, in case it hit the city wall headfirst and hit a mess, then ...... Isn't that a joke? Now the water level is rising slowly, take a boat down, to the loess town, no matter whether the water floods the loess town, or does not reach the head of the loess town, but the water is stable, it is much more convenient to attack by boat.

Zhang Zhongzui kept reminding his sergeants, but he couldn't help but scold in his heart, these bastards are quite good at calculating. The water level is still about a meter away from the head of the city. In this way, the siege war becomes a field battle. But fortunately, if the water level is rising, and it is level with the head of the city, the enemy's position is high, and his position is low, this battle will not be easy to fight, if it is, ...... If you have crossed the city, you will have to retreat.

In the roar of the chapter, under the deterrence of the higher and higher water level, although the sergeants were well-trained, their faces were inevitably a little frightened, and they also jumped over and over in their hearts.

The sound of ......war drums suddenly sounded in the vast night, and the shouts accompanied by the sound of war drums rushed from the west.

The enemy is coming! In the chapter, he pulled out the treasure knife on his waist, an arrow step, and jumped at the battlement of the city wall, he held the big knife high, and shouted: "All cheer up, shoot if you are far away, and the city will be flat with them, whoever dares to lay a soft egg is a ghost, and Lao Tzu will not let him go!" ”

Li Zhen over there also shouted: "Brothers, fight with Zhou Bing's group of bastards!" ”

"Fight ......," more than 500 people shouted in unison.

Corresponding to the high fighting spirit of the city, Zhou Bing's military ship also arrived in a blink of an eye. "Whoosh ......" arrows are like brilliant arrows, and in the long night, wrapped in the earth-shattering shouts, the terrible screams continue to sound.

The boat borrowed the water potential, and it didn't take much effort to come to the head of the loess town, and there were constantly Zhou troops jumping over the city wall. The Zhou army was scattered, jumping into the city from one fishing boat after another, with only one thought in mind to kill the enemy. The Chu army originally had an array, but there were many Zhou troops in some places at the head of the city, and the Zhou army in some places, and the array had already been broken. However, if you fight, Lao Tzu has not fought, you are horizontal, and Lao Tzu is not weak.

When the bow and arrows are gone, they use their swords, and when they are curled, they use their fists and teeth. The battle unfolded in the shadow of the sword and sword, the shouts broke out at the moment of survival, the blood fluttered in the city, the blood outside the city was stained with Han water, and the city was full of blood.

Screams and blood did not reduce the fighting spirit of these two armies, in the rain of arrows in the sky, in the battle of either you die or I live, the two armies are like two bloodthirsty beasts, fighting selflessly
