Chapter 226: Flooding the Seventh Army

Time was pressing, and everyone took action immediately. Fortunately, there are often floods in this place, and there are a lot of disaster relief materials in reserve, and the gentry have also donated generously, so they have money and food to hire those displaced people, as the so-called rich and food people are easy to do, tens of thousands of people are fighting day and night on the river, and the progress of the project is very fast. In order to protect the urban area, Mao Yulong suggested that the county order to re-excavate the original moat, first, to clean up the moat, and the most important thing is to pile up all the excavated soil inside, and add another embankment to the outside of the urban area. And this embankment is compacted, not only blocking the future flood, but also in case this flooding plan fails, this rammed earth embankment can also become a line of defense to block the enemy's siege, which is a double insurance.

In order to delay the enemy's time to go north along the waterway, Mao Yulong demolished the Haining Wharf in the name of Hong Chengchou, one was to make the enemy who moved fast not be able to attack ashore quickly, and the other was to let the pirates get on the ship after the flood was over, and the speed of the pirates on the ship would be reduced, and even if the enemy wanted to get on the ship, it would be done in batches, and a lot of time would be wasted.

And Mao Yulong surveyed the condition of the water flow and estimated the itinerary, so he immediately bought fire oil from the people, the more the better, and prepared to give a ruthless blow to the robbers who came.

As expected, more than 20,000 retreating pirates joined Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi advanced by land and water, flanking Yu Guangsheng and Yu Zhigao's sailors, but they held out for two days, and the water village of the two people was lost, and in the case of heavy losses, Yu Guangsheng and Yu Zhigao withdrew from Hangzhou Bay and fled to the open sea.

Yan Siqi did not pursue, and immediately commanded the army to go up the river, sharing both land and water, with a total of 50,000 troops to kill Hangzhou.

With Haining ready for everything, the horse ran back unscathed to report that the pirates had been dispatched.

A hundred miles, at least it will take three days to arrive, so several people are even more nervous to arrange the final guard plan.

At noon on the third day, Yan Siqi's fleet appeared on the river, and pirates on land also appeared under the city of Haining.

Facing Haining, where the city wall was low, Yan Siqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because on the way to the army, the government has issued a mobilization order for the clear field of the strong wall, and the distance of fifty miles along the river is all clear of the wall. As a result, pirates who relied on looting to maintain logistics were now hungry.

But if you go to the mainland to loot, not only will the journey be delayed, but also out of touch with the sailors, so everyone will focus on Haining City. As long as Haining is captured, the materials in the city can fully support the army for ten days and a half months, and ten days and a half months, Hangzhou will already be at your fingertips.

With infinite ambition, Yan Siqi thought that Haining was just an egg, which could be easily taken down with just a little finger of his own, but the information he got made him feel unexpected. Because according to intelligence, the city of Haining is densely packed with enemies, and the moat is deep and the slope embankment has been raised, and it is unrealistic to send thousands of people to attack. I could only wait for the arrival of the brigade and go all out.

Advancing by land and water, the two sides cannot be disconnected, although the ship is fast, but it must also wait for the army, and it didn't take long for the dog's army to come up.

The reason why he still uses puppies to command the army is that Yan Siqi's subordinates are all water ducks, and when it comes to commanding the army, everyone really hasn't experienced the small dogs of the Warring States period in Japan.

After the little dog looked at Haining City, he said to Yan Siqi with confidence: "The river bank is ten miles away from this Haining City Plain, well, it is enough to set up the whole army, we will attack with the full strength of the lion fighting the rabbit, and the last general will ask the king of Kaitai to prepare dinner and wine, and wait for my victorious return." ”

Yan Siqi also thought so, so he congratulated the little dog loudly, and really prepared dinner, if you don't prepare early, you can't do it, there is not much time before dinner.

In order to attract more enemies to come to death, Mao Yulong mobilized a large amount of money and food to hire people to go to the city to wave their flags and shout, the enemy was really fooled, in fact, they really sent one or two thousand people to attack, and the city would definitely be broken, because the only ones who could really resist were three hundred guards, not even three hundred, at most one hundred, no, at most, Yang Fan and Ma Er could still fight.

Coming, nearly 40,000 troops rumbled over, crowding the huge place outside Haining City, stretching from here to the river, and there was a sea of people on the opposite side.

"Action." Mao Yulong decisively took the place of the county order and issued an order. "Action." The prefectural order was conveyed excitedly.

A field of fireworks rose into the sky, dazzling the sky above Haining City.

The little dog was a little puzzled, is there a special custom in this Haining place? Do you want to set off a fireworks to celebrate before the war, or do you want to celebrate that you are about to die?

The little dog would never think that this place is separated from other places in the Ming Dynasty and has such a bad taste.

Raising fire as a signal, this is the judgment of the puppy. Is there an ambush around the enemy? Impossible, absolutely impossible, just in this plain area where there is no boundary, where there may be ambushes.

But there are definitely monsters in this matter, don't attack rashly, and wait to observe it later.

There was a lot of noise on the battlefield, and everyone was talking about it, so they suppressed the rumbling sound in the distance. When a sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the wall-like flood that rushed around the city and shouted, the flood had already reached everyone's eyes, and the height of the flood was more than a zhang. The puppy felt that a huge force pushed it back, and then the huge wave team completely submerged it, fortunately, the puppy had a horse, instinctively hugged the horse's neck, not long after, after drinking I don't know how many mouthfuls of mud soup, finally surfaced, but after coming out, I opened my eyes and saw that countless heads on the water were up and down the ups and downs, and everyone floated to the Qiantang River with the flood.

The little dog, who was just glad that he could survive, suddenly felt that the collar on the back of his neck was hot, and when he looked back, he was desperate at that time, because of a line of fire, which burned over with the rush of the flood, this is really bīnghuǒ double heaven.

At this time, the war horse under the crotch of the little dog played a role, and the animal's inspiration for fire was far greater than that of man, and he felt the threat of huge fire, so he carried the owner on his body, and swam like the Qiantang River without his life.

And the pirates who were floating in the flood immediately sank their heads into the flood.

Fortunately, there was not much fire oil in Haining City, so it could only be burned into a line of fire, and then it drifted into the river with the flood, but this piece of fire pressed everyone and couldn't show their heads, so they drowned, and I don't know how much.

Originally, pirates knew how to swim, but most of them were wearing armor, as if they had countless stones tied to their bodies, so they drowned countless people.

This one is a complete change. 21
