Chapter 538: Flooding the Golden Mountain
Temir was worried that the coalition army of Delangi and the people of the Central Plains would take the opportunity to cross the West River under the cover of the naval army, so the 5560,000 troops of Nakikas, Yabuk and Mooney were pinned down on both sides of the Delangixi River by Gongliangwen and Bailiyan, and Temir could even think at this time that the situation of the 40,000 people trapped in the West Mountain by Cartenson would never be optimistic.
However, the subtle changes in the battlefield did not escape Su Fangyi's eyes, and the sharp increase in fighting in the mountains to the southeast and north of the cofferdam was forcing the coalition forces to transfer their forces to the eastern mountains to dilute the forces near the cofferdam.
"General Su Hong, is there any news from the scouts ahead?"
"Back to the Soviet division, I haven't come to report yet. However, our army suffered heavy casualties in the mountains, and the gunpowder and the stones that had been piled up in advance on the mountain had been exhausted, and now we could only fight the enemy hand-to-hand with flesh and blood. ”
There are more than 100,000 coalition troops left behind in the valley, and less than half of them have weapons. Even if there is a wooden gun, in the face of the Jin Xuedi people with complete armor, the wooden gun seems to be powerless.
Of course, it is possible to pick up the weapons left behind on the battlefield, but in fact, the physical exertion after crossing the mountains and mountains is huge, so that the soldiers with their bare hands are thrown into the battlefield, and they burrow into the grass all over the mountains to find weapons, which is tantamount to disrupting the establishment and sending them to death.
Therefore, from the beginning of the battle, the coalition army in the valley lost a mountain and sacrificed a wave of people, and there was a shortage of weapons, and the more weapons were fought, the fewer and fewer weapons were fought, even if the rear soldiers were sufficient, but there were no weapons, how could they fight.
Su Fangyi was very aware of the weakness of the coalition army, which was also the main reason why he did not allow reinforcements, he counted on Xishan to annihilate the enemy who entered the urn, and then transferred troops to fight after capturing weapons and equipment.
After a fierce battle until the afternoon, the scouts came to report, and 4,000 enemy soldiers rode horses to reinforce the mammoth team, and the Soviet side was overjoyed when they heard the news:
"General Su Hong!"
"The subordinates are here."
"Order the cofferdam and prepare to burst the embankment."
"Strategist, don't you wait for the battle fangs to advance to the cofferdam?"
"No, the enemy's sudden reinforcement of 4,000 men and horses must be for the purpose of fighting for the hills on the north, south and north sides of the cofferdam, trying to outflank the mountains from behind our army, and we cannot wait any longer. After the levee is breached, you and the royal guest will attack from the north and south flanks of the hills, be sure to entangle with them, lead their forces into the path, and then take the trumpet as an order to do so. ”
"Yes!"
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and Temir has added 4,000 new soldiers and horses into the valley, not only to prepare to forcibly break through the cofferdam, to relieve the siege of the trapped enemy forces in the West Mountain, and to force the coalition forces to transfer troops from the West Mountain to reinforce the cofferdam, but also to sweep away the coalition forces on both sides of the mountain for the mammoth to continue the assault. In this way, there will be no chance for the second release of water from the cofferdam.
Su Hong and others will quickly mobilize men and horses, mobilize troops and horses from the mountainous areas on the north and south sides of the cofferdam, and quickly move to the mountainous areas southeast and north of the cofferdam.
Half an hour later, the upper layer of the cofferdam embankment burst, the breach quickly expanded to more than ten zhang, and the raging flood poured down unstoppably, and the mammoth team and the reinforcements who had just arrived were getting off the horse, apparently also prepared to avoid being flooded.
When entering the valley, thousands of people are all walking along the foot of the mountain in columns, the first time the water rushes in front, thousands of people and horses quickly climb the nearby hillside, and finally only a small part of the unlucky eggs, avoid the water and wash away, unfortunately die in the Yellow Spring.
But before the flood had completely passed, the coalition forces had already rushed out of the mountains on both sides:
"Brothers, follow me!"
Su Hong raised his arms and shouted, and the battle spirit of the army was surging:
"Kill, kill......"
Tens of thousands of allied troops suddenly launched a surprise attack from the mountains and mountains on the north and south sides.
The explosion mixed with the rolling stones of the wood caught the Jin Xuedi people off guard, and the coalition forces attacked quickly and condescendingly, and the place they passed was unstoppable like a plough and a cave.
The water quickly rushed out of the valley along the valley and discharged into the two and a half lakes left on the north and south sides of the central path of the outer lake, and for a time did not cross the dirt road to fill the lake, causing some damage.
Temir had to report the discharge of water upstream, and immediately came to the city wall, and the water had already overflowed the east bank and leaked into the ditch dug in advance, so it did not cause much damage or panic, and the armies inside and outside the city were still in an orderly manner, and there was no embarrassment of the two floods of Etis.
"These dog mongrels have finally released the water, and this time they must know the power of the Moon God!"
Etis shouted wildly, but Temir remained unmoved, still observing the changes in the water with great calmness and composure, he was now worried about the seven thousand people in the woods path, and how many people had drowned in the flood, and it was not until the past two quarters of an hour that a large number of debris and corpses were not seen, and Temir breathed a sigh of relief.
"Etis, let your legion attack immediately, within two days, the cofferdam must be captured!"
"Okay, I'm going to teach these pigs a good lesson this time!"
Temir expects to take the cofferdam in only two days, because the mountainous area leading to the north and south flanks of the valley contains too many coalition forces, the width of the northern and southern front is dozens of miles, and tens of thousands of horses and horses on each side are scattered in the valley, and it is difficult to recover all the troops and horses in a short time, and the coalition forces stationed in the cofferdam are not enough to hold on, and it will be extremely advantageous to break through the cofferdam at this time.
At the same time that the auxiliary corps crossed the outer lake that night, the Soviet volunteers ordered the people to close the gap and strengthen the dam, and ordered the defenders scattered in the mountains to shrink the defense line and shrink the troops. Su Hong and other troops fought at night until the middle of the night and routed the enemy army east of the cofferdam.
By the morning of the second day, before the arrival of the auxiliary troops reinforced overnight, Su Hong and others quickly cleaned up the battlefield and captured thousands of long swords, spears, and armor.
"Su Junshi, Su Hong came to restore his life."
"General Su is lucky, you can find the Jin Xuedi people along the way?"
"Found it, but it doesn't seem to be damaged, once it is used by the Jinxuedi people, the consequences are unimaginable."
Su Fangyi was confident, and said with a shallow smile:
"The stone machine weighs hundreds of stones, made of giant wood and iron, and its wooden pole is extremely difficult to shake when it is pulled down, and it is difficult to break it by the large water in the cofferdam alone. If it is broken, it will be a real headache, but now it is intact, and it can be pulled to the valley mouth in the future and inflicted heavy losses on the barbarian army. ”
Su Fangyi did not plan to destroy the stone machine, but instead thought about how to use the stone machine to stop the Jin Xuedi people in the future.
The width of the outer lake from east to west is less than six miles, and now a dirt road has been filled, just enough to push the stone machine to the landfill area, as long as half of the road is captured, the camp of the Jinxuedi people is within the range of the stone machine.
While the two were talking, a royal guest hurriedly came to report:
"Qi Qi Soviet division, the enemy's 40,000 soldiers and horses carrying siege equipment, less than 15 miles away from the cofferdam."
"Oh, it's so fast, on horseback or on foot."
"On foot."
"There can be camping on the west shore of the outer lake."
Su Fangyi continued to ask again, and Yuke quickly said:
"I don't know, it's extremely difficult for our scouts to get out, and the situation on the shore is unknown."
Su Fangyi thought for a moment and turned to Su Hongdao:
"General Su, your men and horses will hand over their weapons to the other horses, and then quickly go to the valley to rest and rush to Xishan."
"No!"
Since yesterday, Su Fangyi has transferred 60,000 troops from the valley, of which 30,000 have successively replaced the defenders scattered in the northeast and mountainous areas of Qiubigon, and the other 30,000 are waiting for water to wash the ground.
Soon after Su Hong led his troops to retreat, 40,000 auxiliary soldiers arrived close to ten miles, until they were eight miles away, the cofferdam defenders pulled down the wooden stakes, and the flood waves poured out, and they rushed east along the forest path.
"Water, water, go up the mountain......"
The commander of the first infantry jumped off his horse with a frightened shout, left his army, rushed into the panicked crowd, and fled to the nearest hillside. At this moment, tens of thousands of people are like wheat that has been put down by a harvester, and they are instantly swallowed up in the torrent of flood beasts and die.
Waiting for the flood to rush out of the valley with the first wave of corpses, Temir, who was about to have lunch, was interrupted by panicked soldiers:
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... Water is a big ......"
"Where's the water!" Temir asked hurriedly, not even thinking that the upstream would be discharged a second time.
"It's a valley, and there's a lot of water rushing out of the upper valley, and corpses, thousands......" The soldiers cried out almost hoarsely, their faces colorless.
"It can't be!"
Temir was in disbelief, he stood up and pushed away his own soldiers, walked out of the camp and climbed the city wall, the east of the city was already in chaos, the soldiers at the head of the city were talking, and the morale was shaken by this time.
Looking at the flood water leaking from the mouth of the valley in astonishment, Temir's face was pale, and he was stunned behind the female wall like ashes, and said in despair in shock:
"It's over, it's all over......"
As soon as the words fell, there was a violent cramping pain in his chest, and the next moment the blood surged to attack his heart, and the blood spurted out of his mouth with a poof, Temir's cheeks twitched, and his eyes were dark, and he was holding his old fist and falling headlong on the city wall unconscious.
"Your Excellency, Your ......"
The soldiers shouted loudly, and carried them down from the city head in the confusion for first aid, at this time, the flood in the valley carried more corpses into the outer lake, tens of thousands of corpses almost blocked the exit, and the scene was so tragic that every Jin Xuedi was frightened and shuddered, and their morale plummeted in a blink of an eye.
At the same time as the cofferdam was emptying and storing water, the Soviet side sent 40,000 soldiers, of which 30,000 were bare-handed, and only the soldiers of the coalition army with wooden guns rushed to the exit along the flooded area.
Tens of thousands of weapons and armor materials were scattered along the way, almost picking up while walking, picking up equipment while picking up, and when they arrived at the west bank of the outer lake, 30,000 soldiers with bare hands were already complete with swords and sufficient armor, and immediately occupied the exit, and along the mountains on the north and south sides of the exit, quickly cut off the eastward retreat of the Jinxuedi people who attacked the valley.
At this point, the Jin Xuedi people, who attacked the mountains of Qiubigon from the east and west flanks, were all surrounded by Su Fangyi, not counting the more than 40,000 people who had been drowned and annihilated by its flood.
At this time, Bailiyan led the navy to cruise with the West River, encountered the Jin Xuedi people's navy, drove it back downstream under the first battle, captured two large ships, sank and blew up several ships, and killed nearly 600 people. Bailiyan did not dare to pursue, but was afraid of chasing, and Yabuke and the recruits on the west bank of the West River crossed the West River.
"These trolls are really fast!"
Jiang Jie gritted his teeth and said, Sikong Nan took the aisle:
"It's not so much that they are a naval army, but that they are an infantry army on a boat, how can they be undefeated."
"What Sikong Nan said is extremely that these Jin Xuedi people are on the warship, and they are completely rabble, and they are vulnerable." Bai Liyan affirmed Sikong Nan's statement.
In his eyes, Jin Xuedi's navy cannot be called a navy, it should be a troop carrier, at best a ferry to transport troops, and its sailors are extremely inferior in combat ability on board, even inferior to his second monk who became a monk halfway through Bailiyan.
