Chapter 360: Flooding Zero
September 15, 311 A.D., evening!
"General! Checkmate! Oh no, the water in Linghu is dry! ”
"What?! How is this possible?! How is it possible for such a large lake to do it? Fast! Go and check, are there any local folks in this city? Hurry up and find one and ask! ”
"No!"
Beigong Chun's heart is very anxious, this food is gone, and it will last for a few days, if there is no water, how can it last?!
After a while, I really found an old man from Zero City!
Beigong Chun looked at this old man who was already old, and knew that he must have stayed in the city and waited for death because he was too old to flee on the road, otherwise he would definitely flee with the rest of the city!
Beigong Chun's heart suddenly felt heavy, and he took the initiative to walk to the front of his hometown and said, "Old man, are you the only one in the family?!" “
"Yes, it's all gone, I've fled, I can't run, old man, and I don't want to drag the children down, just wait for death in this city, anyway, I don't want to leave my hometown!"
"Hey, it's all our incompetence ......"
"How can I blame you, judging by their attitude towards you, you are the leader of this team, right? You're a good general! It's been so many days, I've seen it in my eyes, you have been sticking to it with these men, I haven't seen other officers and soldiers come to us to do anything good, robbing homes and houses, ** have done a lot of looting, like you, who really fought for the people's lives, is the first one! ”
"Old Man's ......"
"Hey, these big clans, the high-ranking clan masters are usually dignified, one bite and one benevolence, righteousness and morality, where have they all gone now? Phew! If they were willing to go out with the whole army, unite as one, and swear to fight the Huns to the end, how dare the Huns be so arrogant? How dare you destroy my homeland, how dare you enter my Central Plains?! How dare you trample on the land of my Guanzhong?! ”
Beigong Chun listened to the old man's sonorous words, and his heart became more and more sad!
Beigong Chun looked at the old man who was getting more and more excited the more he talked, and couldn't help but agree: "What the old man said is reasonable, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's ......a pity."
Hearing Beigong Chun's continuous words of "It's a pity", the old man was also helpless for a while, a grass mustard like himself and these remnants of the soldiers in front of him, what else could he do but complain? !
"Hey, it's all because the little old man talks too much, the general doesn't have to worry too much, but I don't know why the general brought the little old man here?!"
"There is indeed one thing, I want to ask you, old man, will the water of the Spirit Lake in this city dry up in winter?!"
"How can it dry up?! The water of our Linghu Lake is connected to Weishui, and it will not dry up all year round, unless someone blocks the Weishui! ”
This old man's words are simply a word to wake up the dreamer!
Beigong Chun, Shangguan Meng and other generals looked at each other in disbelief, and everyone's faces were dazed and shocked!
The Wei River was blocked!
How is this possible? But this answer is the closest to the truth, and judging from the expressions on everyone's faces, everyone already believes in this possibility!
Beigong Chun frowned even more, and an ominous premonition arose!
Shangguan Meng even blurted out: "General! What's going on? Could it be that the Huns really went to block the Weishui? What are they going to do?! ”
"If the Huns really blocked the Weishui, then the only possibility is that the water attacked the ......"
"Water attack?! Haha, general, are you kidding, the Huns also know how to attack by water!? What is Water Attack? ”
Beigong Chun didn't know how to explain to his brothers, although he had more or less heard a little military book, but there were very few records of water attacks, and he was just guessing, not sure, and now he had to explain to Shangguan Meng and the soldiers, but it was a little unclear all of a sudden......
"Shangguan, the water attack should be to use the water potential to attack!"
"General, it's not that Shangguan is stupid, I know how to use fire, how to use water? Blocking Weishui can attack? That's incredible, isn't it?! ”
"There are also talented people among the Huns, don't underestimate them, Shangguan, it's not entirely sure what they want to do now, if it's really a water attack, then we're really finished! (Beigong Chun is a pure military general after all, not a wise general, it's okay to charge into battle, it's really difficult for him to strategize)"
"General, I'm going to let the wounded move to a higher place now?"
"Well, since we can't break through, we can only do this, I hope our conjecture is wrong!"
Beigong Chun raised his head and looked at the sky that was about to turn dark, and then said to the old man: "Old man, move to a high place with us!" ”
"Good! My old man, let's take a good look at how you killed the Huns! ”
At night, the Huns still did not come to attack!
Late at night, there was still no movement!
Until the night of September 16, there was still no movement!
And at this moment, all the defenders in Zero City are already dizzy with hunger!
These defenders trapped in zero have not eaten a single thing for a day and a night, and even drank almost enough water!
"General, I don't think we have to worry about the Huns coming to attack, this hunger will die of hunger and thirst, don't talk about defending the city, the strength to speak is almost gone!"
"Yes, Shangguan, don't you think it's strange? The Huns outside the city just surrounded us and wouldn't let us go! ”
"Hehe, do they know that we have no food and no water?! If I really knew, if it were me, I would have waited a few more days, and then we would have to fight when we ourselves were starving and thirsty, in that case, there would be no need to spend a single soldier at all! ”
"You're right, Shangguan, did you say that we have contributed to Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, and the people of Chang'an this time?!"
"Absolutely, General, we've been dragging them for 8 days! Our troops, who don't have many soldiers and not much food, can drag on for so long, and they are already worthy of the eighteenth generation of his Sima Mo's ancestors! ”
"Hahaha! It's been so many days, I think Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, should also be sent to the army from his son's side, and we finally deserve to die! Hahaha, die for Sima Mo! Hahaha, we are dying for the people of Chang'an and Guanzhong, it's worth it! ”
"Hehe, General, I've always wanted to ask you a question!"
"What's the problem? Shangguan! ”
"General, are you also afraid of death?!"
"Me? When you ride on a horse and pick up your weapon, you don't think about anything, but if you stop, you think about it! ”
"Haha, I'm still afraid of death!"
"Hahaha!"
"Ahh General, you see, the Huns withdrew?! ”
"Withdrawn?! How can it be?! ”
Indeed, the Huns began to retreat, and it was a large-scale retreat, and their rear team changed to the front team, and they all retreated!
"Go and ask the city gates everywhere to see if they have all been evacuated!"
After a long while, someone finally came to report: "The two generals of Qiqi, the Huns of each gate, and the Huns who patrolled around have all withdrawn."
When Shangguan Meng heard this, he immediately rejoiced: "General, the Huns have withdrawn!" ”
"Wait, what if it's a plan? Break through now, they can attack at any time! ”
"But what if they do launch a water attack?!"
"Shouldn't it be tonight, how long has it been? How much water can be stored? I think the Huns have other plans! ”
"That's what the general said!"
"So let's not rush yet, let's see!"
"Good!"
"Shangguan, let's go, let's go and see how Lao Li is doing!"
"Good, General!"
After a while, Beigong Chun and the others came to the place where Lao Li was recuperating!
At this time, Lao Li couldn't sleep at all, the wounds all over his body were painful, and even many wounds had begun to pus because there was no medicinal treatment, but Lao Li was a hard bone, he would never make a little painful sound to make others laugh, but the more so, the more difficult the pain became!
"Lao Li! Don't move! ”
"Yes, Lao Li, if you hurt the city like this, you still have to lose face and suffer from it!"
Lao Li was really happy when he saw that Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng were coming, but he didn't want to say it in his mouth!
Beigong Chun came to Lao Li's side, touched Lao Li's forehead, and immediately frowned: "Why is it so hot?!" Lao Li, why don't you tell us! ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu's forehead is so hot that you haven't touched it until now?! Are you sorry to blame me? You are fighting the Huns up there, I don't want to trouble you again! It's been a long time since I've been out of food, and there's really no way to do it?! ”
"I really can't help it, hey......"
"Damn Sima Mo, I'll fuck his ancestor! Pure heart, let us all come to die, I will be his ancestors! ”
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside: "Oh no! Oh no, it's flooding! ”
