Chapter 49 Bunching the water and washing the sand

Tian Lai Xiao said.2. Three days later, after some careful preparations, the Han and Qiang coalition forces poured out again, different from the last all-out attack, this time it was an all-out defense, 60,000 Han troops put out a fish-scale formation, firmly monitoring the enemy army in Jincheng, and 40,000 Qiang cavalry surrounded Jinshan, preventing the enemy from rushing down!

"Two, it's a matter of success or failure, whether you can conquer Jincheng or not depends on your means!" Before the operation, Xiao Yi found two subordinates - Yellow Squirrel and Fat Liu, one was responsible for digging trenches and cutting off the connection between the mountain and the city, and the other was responsible for logistics, providing food for 100,000 troops to ensure their combat effectiveness!

"Please rest assured, the two of us will do our best to complete the task, if there is any omission, come and see you!" The yellow rat and the fat Liu knelt down on one knee and saluted and made a military order!

"Okay, the whole army is united, Jincheng will be broken soon!"

"No!"

Hearing that the Han and Qiang coalition forces were approaching the city again, Han Sui immediately led his generals to climb the city tower to check the situation, and as far as the eye could see, the city was densely packed with soldiers with blades, but they did not attack the city, but put out a defensive formation, and at the same time, the banner on the golden mountain waved, and the news came that they were also surrounded!

"The soldiers are divided into two ways, besieging but not attacking, what is the idea of the ghost-faced Xiao Lang?" Han Sui was puzzled, gathered his eyes and took a closer look, there was a team of thousands of people, digging a trench in the open space, constantly turning out the sand, digging to a width of five feet, and began to extend to both sides!

"Digging a trench and isolating the mountain city is a good way, but there are only thousands of people, and it doesn't take a few months to think of success, at that time, 100,000 coalition troops would have starved to death!" Han Sui is also a battlefield general, and he knows what Jincheng's weakness is, but the opponent's troops are insufficient, and there is a shortage of food and grass, and it is more beneficial to himself to consume it!

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang is nothing more than that, it is estimated that the donkey skills are poor, right?"

"A five-foot trench, even a rabbit can't stop it, and you still want to trap our thousands of troops?"

"Are they digging trenches and tunnels in secret, preparing to enter the city and attack us?"

"There is sand all around, and digging a hole in the ground is equivalent to being buried alive, and if you go in, you will die as much as you want............"

Some people ridiculed, some ridiculed, and some doubted, but no one took the five-foot trench to heart.

"Order the whole army to hold the city tightly, not to be careless, and to send more patrols at night to prevent the enemy from sneaking up!" After seeing it for a while, Han Sui didn't notice any danger, but just ordered his subordinates to guard the city carefully, and went back to the house to rest!

The subordinates were also very obedient, and sent double the number of men to patrol, and buried dozens of vats under the city to listen to the sound of the underground to prevent the enemy from entering the city!

Besides, on the side of the Han and Qiang coalition forces, with the 'digging army' as the main force, the men and horses of each department took turns to dig trenches, desperately digging trenches, and the generals led by example, waving pickaxes and sweating like rain, even Xiao Yi went into battle shirtless, fortunately, the sand soil was soft and easy to start, and they didn't dig much, it was five feet wide and seven feet deep, so the progress was very fast!

"Brothers, it's time for lunch, big buns stuffed with mutton, with refined salt, eat and drink enough to continue to dry, dig up the golden city!"

At noon, 'Fat Liu' came with a group of firehead soldiers, each carrying a burden, inside was steaming meat buns, the size of a bowl, thin skin and meat, a bite of direct oil, and a thick bone broth, fragrant, really a good war meal!

At present, the food is not forgotten, but the military regulations cannot be forgotten, the people of each department take turns to eat and rest, and the rest of the people are still holding their positions, as for the laughter and scolding of the Xiliang soldiers in the city, I should not have heard it, three days later, see if you are still laughing?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In this way, 100,000 allied troops deployed under the city, day and night, digging hard, and it took three days to finally dig a trench more than 30 miles long, and connect the Huangshui, set up a gate, and encircle the Jincheng inside!

"Han Sui, the man with the eyes of the rat, see how the governor of Pontus traps your city, and the order - open the gates and release the water!" Three days later, at dusk, Xiao Yi's little black face finally showed a smile, wiped the dirt on his body, and issued a military order to release water!

"Wow! …… Brush! Brush! ”

Under an order, the gate opened, and the water that had been accumulated for a long time immediately poured down, violently scouring the trench, and the people who walked the waterway all the year round understood a truth, the river is wide and the water is slow, the river is narrow and the water is urgent, the narrower the river, the more turbulent the water flow, the boat is sad, the pedestrian is frightened, not to mention the wood, even the big stones can be washed away, the power of the torrent, not to mention ten thousand jun!

In the same way, when the water rushes into the five-foot-wide trench, the flow is restrained, and it becomes fast and rapid, constantly scouring the sides of the trench, carrying a large amount of sediment, and rushing downstream with the rolling river......

One hour, two hours, three hours, the flowing water is endless, and the mud and sand are ......

After a night of scouring, the ditch, which was originally five feet wide, turned out to be eight feet, and in some places it was more than eight feet deep, enough to drown an adult, and the water continued, and the ditch was still widening and deepening......

At the same time, the allied soldiers carried stones, dug up the earth, and built a barrier on the west side of the trench, which was densely covered with archers, and firmly controlled the position.

After dawn, the Xiliang defenders took advantage of the hazy morning light, and now there was an extra white belt outside the city, rubbing their eyes, and taking a closer look, "God, what kind of belt is that, it is clearly a trench with a turbulent water, and it has completely surrounded the city!" ”

"Oh no, go and tell the lord, the enemy army used a demon spell and conjured a river......"

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang is really not a mortal, this is the ability to move stars and change fights......"

The defenders were stunned, and flew to tell the generals, hearing the news, Han Sui didn't have time to put on his armor, and ran up to the city wearing only a single coat, and then he was also stunned, the trench was deep and wide, the barriers were strict, and his own golden city was isolated!

"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang, good intentions, good calculations, water and sand, the means are really superior!" Han Sui is also a resourceful person, and after thinking about it, he finally figured out the truth, but unfortunately, he understood it too late, and the other party's plan succeeded!

"Send the order to go down, open the city gate, and the whole army will attack, and the trench must be filled, otherwise I will die and have no place to be buried!"

"No! …… Kill! --Fill in the ditches and defend the golden city! ”

After waking up, the Xiliang defenders also reacted, and the four generals Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, and Li Kan immediately rectified their men, opened the city gate, and rushed out with a shout!

"Shoot the arrows and press the enemy back!" The Han and Qiang coalition forces have long been in strict formation, and under an order, ten thousand arrows are all together, and they fiercely cover the enemy troops who rushed over, without the cover of the city wall, the Xiliang soldiers and horses suddenly lost their advantage, and they were shot to the ground one by one, and the yellow sand was stained with blood, and they charged several times, and they were shot back without even touching the opposite barrier!

"There is no retreat, and those who retreat die!" Han Sui also fought hard, holding a sword, personally supervising the battle, all the soldiers who were afraid of the advance, immediately cut off the horse, the head was picked up with a spear, forcing his subordinates to charge!

"Hehe, brothers, raise your sword and gun, and the opportunity for revenge has come - kill!" Xiao Yi held high the phoenix wings gilt boring, in front of the prancing horse formation, the commander of the Xuanjia iron cavalry rushed forward to kill the past, where the horse's hooves went, the flesh and blood flew sideways, wailing and shaking the sky, and the Xiliang soldiers were trampled into a puddle of flesh and mud, with heavy casualties!

At the same time, the defenders of Jinshan also rushed down and tried to fill the trench, Zhelan commanded the Qiang cavalry to slash and kill, and also fought back, but the goal was not achieved, but a lot of people and horses were broken!

In this way, the Xiliang army rushed out again and again, trying to open the passage, but was killed by Xiao Yi commanding the men and horses, and three days later, under the washing of the river, the trench was more than two zhang wide and one zhang deep, and the defenders of Jincheng wanted to break through again, it was really difficult to climb to the sky!

The plan of division has been completed, Xiao Yi let Ma Liu lead 20,000 horses, stationed at the edge of the trench, guarding against danger, keeping an eye on the defenders of Jincheng, and he led the main force of 80,000 people to surround the enemy army in Jinshan, forming a local advantage in strength, the situation is reversed, and he can finally give it a go!

"The Metropolitan Governor, the last general, please be the vanguard, go up the mountain, and wipe out the enemy's nest!"

"General Shenweitian, the Qiang warriors are also willing to rush up the mountain and kill the enemy for meritorious service!"

The dawn of victory has flashed, and the generals and chiefs of the various departments have stepped forward to ask for battle, just like a chicken blood, snatching the task of the vanguard officer!

"Don't worry, the trapped beast is still fighting, be careful of hurting people, there are still 30,000 enemy troops on the mountain, you can't despise it, find a suitable opportunity, let's not be too late to start!"

Looking at the strong defense line on the mountain, Xiao Yi shook his head slightly, as a wise general, he must use the smallest sacrifice to achieve the greatest results, as for the opportunity, it is in the sky, the weather is warm in April, and the spring rain should come, right?
