Chapter 348: Barrage and damming

"Your Highness! Your Highness! In the midst of Li Chengzhen's hundreds of turns, several soft calls sounded.

"Who?" , Li Chengzhen listened to the voice a little familiar, so he suppressed his voice.

"It's me! Commanding the king white rafters. As the commander of the Gansu Military Department in Ganzhou, he controlled more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. In peacetime, he was stationed in Shandan, but because of the first battle of the Mongolian army, most of the casualties were killed. Including the high-ranking generals such as the Metropolitan Commander's Army, the Deputy Commander's Army, and the Supervisory Army, all of them died and those who were captured.

Wang Bairin was lucky and fled back to Liangzhou in time. Gao Yi allocated more than 10,000 generals who fled back to his name.

In dealing with people, he is more discerning. Like on weekdays, there is no less dedication in front of Li Chengzhen. The famous prostitutes with excellent talents in the city are basically dedicated to Li Chengzhen.

Hearing his name at this time, Li Chengzhen was shocked and said loudly: "It's you?!" ”。

"The last general wanted to come to visit His Highness, but Marshal Gao kept obstructing it and couldn't see it. Today, as a last resort, I will visit one or two privately. Wang Bairin took out a small night pearl from his arms and approached Li Chengzhen.

It was also dimly lit in the tent. If you light a candle, it is easy to arouse the alarm of the outside world. Use the night pearl to illuminate one or two.

"Hmm!" , Li Chengzhen responded to indicate that he knew, and then said: "What are you here for?" ”。

"Your Highness!" , Wang Bairin said with a hint of crying: "The Mongolian army is coming to Kyoto, and the Holy Lord orders King Qin." However, Marshal Gao harbored evil intentions and did not allow troops to be transferred north. If it weren't for the 5,000 soldiers and horses below, it would be the people of the Gansu Military Division. I can't say it, Gao Yi will also take away his military power.

When Li Chengzhen heard this, his face became a lot more solemn, and he said suspiciously: "Can the Mongolian army outside the city retreat west?" ”。

"Nope!" ,

"How did you learn about the Holy Order?"

"This--", Wang Bairin knew what Li Chengzhen was going to say, so he hesitated for a long time and told the messenger that he had rushed into Liangzhou City to report the news.

"In that case, you should listen to Marshal Gao's order and protect Liangzhou!" , Li Chengzhen knew Wang Bairafter's intentions, and also knew the reason why Gao Yi did not send troops to the king. Even if he had a lot of complaints about Gao Yi in his heart, he also knew that it was not appropriate for infighting to occur at this time.

Otherwise, the Mongolian army will step into Liangzhou City on the same day.

"But-but--", Wang Bairin wanted to say something. Li Chengzhen shook his head and said loudly: "If you don't leave, I will call them in." ”。

Before, he tried every possible means to arrest Gao Yi and ask him for the crime. But at this moment, he felt that it was in his best interest to stay here and pretend that he didn't know anything.

Because no matter what, he can put the blame on Gao Yi's head.

"Your Highness!" When Wang Bairin heard this, his face was a little anxious. After all, he slipped in, but he took a risk. If someone finds out, it is said that he will not be arrested and punished by Gao Yi.

"I count to three. I. "

"Alas!" , Wang Bairin sighed, and secretly withdrew. It didn't take long for someone to realize that something wasn't right. But it was the guards who were guarding outside the tent and were drugged and stunned.

I heard the sound of thumping footsteps from far and near, and it seemed that many people were rushing over.

Immediately after, the curtain was lifted.

A few clicks... The candles are lit. I saw Gao Yi rushing in anxiously, staring at Li Chengzhen's bed.

"Huh?" , Li Chengzhen moved, and sat up from the bed. Seeing Gao Yi rushing in with several personal soldiers, he couldn't help but wonder and said, "General Gao? What are you? ”。

"Your Highness's forgiveness! Someone had just charmed the guards and changed into their armor to disadvantage His Highness. Gao Yi said, still observing Li Chengzhen's face.

"Oh?! And what else is there? Li Chengzhen was a little scared.

Gao Yi looked at it and saw that it didn't look like a fake, and his heart was a little more stable.

After that, Li Chengzhen encouraged Gao Yi a few more words and fell asleep again.

After three days like this, the Shiyang River in the south of the city. Tens of thousands of people are under the watchful eye of the Mongolian army, constantly filling the river with stones. If someone slows down, it's a beating. If you are accidentally killed, you will be thrown into the river. Mixed with stones, it should be used to fill the riverbed.

Jebe patrolled the shore for a while, and then came to the outside of Liangzhou City. After seeing that there was no change except for the Xia army stationed on the city wall, he returned to the Mongolian army camp.

"Great Khan! The river has been filled for three days, but the Xia army still has not moved. Yelu Ahai bowed and said hesitantly.

Originally, he wanted to use the way of filling the river to force the Xia army in the city to come out. But so far, the defenders of the city have been patient and have not been able to hold out.

Genghis Khan, who was sitting on the top, listened, and said without anger: "Don't worry! If the Xia army does not move, we will flood the city. If Xia Jun moves, we will let them come and go. ”。

Then let him lead 3,000 soldiers and horses, the southeast area of Liangzhou Mansion. There is the retreat of the Xia army, and they must be wiped out.

In the city, Gao Yi was discussing with the generals how to deal with it.

"Marshal! Beiyi has begun to build dams and barrages. If we remain indifferent, the city of Liangzhou will be washed away by the flood. ”。

Although the place where Liangzhou City is located, the terrain is relatively high. Even if the water rises, it is generally difficult to encounter flooding. However, under the intention of the Mongolian army, the water will inevitably rise sharply. At that time, it will be difficult for Liangzhou City to avoid flooding.

"Yes! Marshal! If I wait any longer, I'm afraid it won't be possible to die well! Another general persuaded him.

Gao Yi didn't know the danger, but he hesitated when he was afraid of the strength of the Mongolian army. Wang Bairafter, who was sitting at the bottom, saw it and said loudly: "The saint once said, let me wait for King Qin to go north." Now that Beiyi is so persecuted, whether to defend the city or not, Liangzhou will be broken. Then I'll wait, why don't you take this opportunity to go north to King Qin. ”。

This proposal made many defenders shine. Because in this way, you don't have to bear the charge of retreating without a fight, but you can also hand over Liangzhou City in the name of King Qin of the North.

Gao Yi was also a little moved by this. The intention to stick to Liangzhou City before was also shaken by the construction of a dam by the Mongolian army.

But he was a little confused! Why did the Mongolian army dam the river at this time? After all, the Mongolian army has been outside Liangzhou for more than a month.

"Could it be that there are ghosts in it?" , Gao Yi thought to himself, his brows tightened.

"Marshal! We can't wait any longer! ", a general urged.

Gao Yi, who came back to his senses, couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, so he ordered: "Pass my military order!" Tonight, the whole army went out of the city. ”。

When the generals heard this, most of them were overjoyed. In the end, it is a more comfortable thing not to stick to Liangzhou City, which is about to fall.

So then, the whole barracks moved. Many rice shops, cloth shops, and oil shops were also requisitioned by the Mongolian army in the name of military use. Some of the patrol generals in the city also withdrew.

Many people watched and noticed that something was wrong.
