Chapter 506: Heavenly Time
Three days later, it rained heavily and Lu Chen was forced to withdraw his troops.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the generals of the Feng and Jing armies gathered, and Zhao Chuan said angrily: "Jianglong dog thief, luck is too good!" Our army has stormed Lin'an for three days and three nights, and if it attacks for two more days, it will be able to break through the city! But suddenly it rained heavily, giving Yan Jun a chance to rest! ”
Xiao Wang sighed lightly: "Yes, this heavy rain has made the road muddy, and the soldiers of our army are full of mud under their feet. ”
Su Muzhi said: "Although it is summer now, the road surface is drying quickly, but in this way, the Yan army also has a chance to breathe, and the efforts of our army to attack day and night will be in vain." ”
Lu Chen frowned, paced back and forth in the tent, and then asked in a condensed voice: "In the past few days, how many soldiers have been killed in our army?" ”
"Four...... About 40,000. Sun Sheng said cautiously.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, in this siege battle of Lin'an, the Jing army and the Feng army combined, the number of dead soldiers has reached 100,000, although it is not as terrible as the original Tiger Pass, but the hardships are also visible.
The corners of King Jing's mouth moved, wanting to say something, but she knew that Lu Chen's mood was definitely not very good now, so she didn't dare to speak.
"Lin'an is the last barrier of the Yan Army! After breaking this city, our country's iron cavalry can gallop vertically and horizontally and sweep the swallow land! Our army can also drive straight in, and the soldiers are under the Yandu! ”
"Therefore, no matter what, within a month, Lin'an must be broken through!"
Lu Chen was talking, and suddenly, he felt something abnormal under his feet, and couldn't help but look down.
I saw a small stream of water, which was flowing slowly down the gap in the camp, seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help frowning, and said, "What's the matter?" ”
You know, this is the big tent of the Chinese army, and even if it rains heavily, it stands to reason that it shouldn't flow here.
Seeing this, Sun Sheng hurriedly said: "Our army's camp is relatively low-lying, and now it is after a heavy rain, it may be that the drainage measures outside the tent have not been done, so I will go out and have a look." ”
Lu Chen was just about to nod, but suddenly, as if he had grabbed something, he raised his hand and shouted, "Slow!" ”
"Huh?" When Sun Sheng heard this, he hurriedly stopped and looked at Lu Chen puzzled, "The king ......"
Lu Chen looked at the small stream of water under his feet, and asked in a condensed voice, "Sun Sheng, what did you just say?" ”
"The end ...... The general thinks, however, that it may be that the drainage measures outside the tent have not been done well......"
"No, you just said that the terrain here is relatively low-lying, right?" Lu Chen said in a deep voice.
"Yes...... yes, what's the matter, the king......" Sun Sheng stammered.
Lu Chen took a deep breath, and then his eyes slowly narrowed.
Seeing this, everyone in the tent couldn't help but glance at each other, they couldn't understand what was wrong with the king, but King Jing couldn't help but take two steps forward to Lu Chen's side and asked, "Brother Wang, what did you think of?" ”
"It's hard to say right now." Lu Chen waved his hand slightly, then looked at everyone, and said, "Let's go, go out with this king to have a look." ”
"Huh?" People didn't react for a while, but it could be seen that Lu Chen had already taken the lead out of the camp, and the others hurriedly followed.
In a place on higher ground, Lu Chen climbed high and looked into the distance, and from a distance, the entire Lin'an City seemed to be located in a huge valley, with high mountains on both sides, and the houses in the city were faintly visible.
"The terrain of Lin'an, and the topography of our army's camp, should be flush, right?" Lu Chen suddenly asked.
He was followed by King Jing and the generals of the two armies, and after hearing this, Xiao Wang immediately said: "Yes, the king, the camp of our army is consistent with the plain outside the city. ”
"In other words, if you stand at a high altitude and look down, the places where we and Yan Jun are located are in relatively low-lying areas." Lu Chen said again.
"That's right." Xiao Wang nodded.
"En......" Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What big lakes are there around here?" ”
"This ......" Xiao Wang thought about it carefully, and then suddenly said: "More than ten miles away from here, there is a Linjiangyan!" ”
"Oh?" Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Go!" Check it out! ”
Lu Chen asked Xiao Wang to lead the way, and said that he would leave, and when King Jing saw this, he asked puzzledly: "Brother Wang, what are you ......?"
"Sister Wang, now I can't be sure, after seeing the topography of Linjiangyan, I will understand." As he spoke, Lu Chen no longer stopped, but took everyone and hurried to Linjiangyan again.
This is a very large lake, Lu Chen and his party stood on the high ground not far away, Xiao Wang explained on the side: "King, this Linjiangyan is in charge of the irrigation of countless farmland downstream, and the people below Lin'an have to rely on this Linjiangyan for cultivation, and it is an old lake that has been around for a long time. ”
"Yes." Lu Chen listened and listened, then observed the terrain again, and said: "The river here does not flow near Lin'an, but only irrigates the farmland outside the city, can it be diverted?" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Wang didn't understand what Lu Chen meant for a while.
Lu Chen glanced at him, then pointed to Linjiangyan, and said: "Prime Minister, please see, the terrain of this lake is higher than that of Lin'an City, but there is a small hill in the middle, and the river is very well repaired, so it seems that there is nothing special, but what if the blocked hillside is dug up, and then the river is diverted to lead the water into Lin'an?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Wang gasped and asked in a condensed voice, "What does the king mean......"
"What this king means is that the flood is poured into Lin'an!" Lu Chen said in a loud voice.
Yes!? When everyone heard this, their eyes widened, and Lu Chen said quietly: "This king remembers that Prime Minister Xiao Cheng once said that in the whole world, the sharpest offensive is to take advantage of the time and place!" In the face of the destructive power of nature, the power of human beings is insignificant! ”
Xiao Wang secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then began to seriously think about what Lu Chen said, but at this time, Su Muzhi had already completely understood what Lu Chen meant, and he immediately clenched his fists and said, "The king's strategy is really clever!" Wechen thinks it's absolutely feasible! ”
"But if the water of Linjiangyan is introduced into Lin'an City, then in this way, hundreds of thousands of people in the city will not be spared!" Sima Wen said.
Hearing this, Su Muzhi immediately sneered: "This is the battlefield!" What the people of Yan Country! Not to mention that there are only hundreds of thousands of people in the city, even millions! As long as you can break Lin'an! These people are dead and dead! What's the big deal! Lord Sima is too kind of a woman! ”
"You!" Sima Wen is extremely angry, in fact, in private, he has a very good relationship with Su Muzhi, but the two obviously have great differences in military opinions.
In Su Muzhi's eyes, on the battlefield, there is only victory and defeat! There is no such thing as being innocent or innocent!
His philosophy is that if he can get back a complete victory, then he will not frown at the expense of some people! Read the latest chapter of "Conquering the World Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
