After listening to Gao Tianci's words, seeing that everyone was staring at him, Ling Xia said unhurriedly: "With our strength, it will definitely not work to fight hard against the Japanese Bandits, and the battle guards in Tulai Province are an example." Of course, the withdrawal of troops is even worse, and the withdrawal of troops is equivalent to giving up the state and the province, and there will be no good fruit to eat when they go back.

The eastern, southern, and northern gates of our state and ontario province are all at the forefront, the southern city borders Tulai Province, the eastern city is facing the Taizhuang Plain, and the northern city is close to the war zone, and only the western city is connected to the inland, so we are now the last defensive force on the eastern front of Yuankun Xinjiang, in addition to the western city, the eastern, southern, and northern three cities, any one of which is breached, the enemy will face the invasion. ”

"We all know this, don't talk about it, now the enemy army has captured Tulai Province, the next target is Nancheng, our soldiers and horses are not as many as others, and the defense line is not long enough, once the enemy army is repaired, it will come over, and now Nancheng is in danger, you can just say the damage." He Jingxiong, the commander of the First Legion, looked at Ling Xia with an anxious face.

"My damage move is water attack!" Ling Xia said in a deep voice.

"Oh, my colt master, what we're talking about now is how to defend Nancheng, how did you get involved in the attack? You can't defend it, what are we going to attack...... "Halfway through complaining, He Jingxiong suddenly stopped talking, looking at Ling Xia's confident appearance, he said thoughtfully: "You just said water attack?" Do you want to? ”

Looking at He Jingxiong's thoughtful expression, Ling Xia nodded slightly: "Guess right, dig up the upstream trunks of the two Huangshui Rivers, open the river embankments along the way, destroy the bridges along the way, and flood Tulai Province----- and ----- Ontario Province!" ”

"If you open the main trunks of those two rivers, the river will definitely be raging and form a flood, and the fertile fields and cities within a radius of thousands of miles will be submerged, not only the province of Tulai will be impacted, but even the southern city will be flooded, although the flood area can temporarily block the army of the island country, but once the water floods the city, the southern city will not be able to garrison." He Jingxiong hesitated.

"If you can't garrison, you won't be able to defend it, if you wait for the island nation corps to attack, Nancheng will also not be able to garrison, we have abolished a southern city, but we have completely cut off the ambition of the island nation corps to attack on the flank, so we look at it, in fact, we still make money." When the words fell, Gao Tianci gave the order and directly ordered the task:

"Brothers, we should thank those comrades-in-arms and brothers in Tulai Province, if it weren't for the fact that they desperately dragged the march of the enemy corps at the cost of all their martyrdom and forced the enemy army to repair and rest in place, then we would not have time to deploy all this, this precious time was given to us by those brothers with their lives, we must cherish it.

The 2nd Corps was closest to the two branches of the Yellow River, and they were responsible for digging the main trunk of the river, leaving one division of the 1st Corps to pack supplies, and the other two divisions to destroy the dyes, bridges, and water inland. The 1st Army Corps abandoned the South City and immediately transferred it to the Dongcheng Defense Area with grain and grass supplies, and the 3rd Army Corps assisted the Dongcheng Defense District in building fortifications......"

After Gao Tianci finished arranging, everyone carried out the task according to the order, after the special flying pigeon channel passed the information out, only more than half an hour later, the soldiers of the second legion quietly went out of the city with all kinds of farm tools, and at the same time, the soldiers of the first legion also scattered out of the city, to dismantle the bridge and dig the embankment outside the defense area......

When the 2nd Army Corps went out to dig up the two branches of the Huangshui River upstream, the embankment collapsed and shattered, and the turbid waves were surging in an instant, and the river rushed to the east and west, burying the air along the way, and the torrent was surging, raging the land and forests, and the river embankments along the way were damaged, not only could not resist the floods, but instead burst their own embankments to contribute to the power of the flood.

……

As soon as the sky was dark, the Fourth Corps stationed in Tulai Province was gathering troops, and the military order given to them by Nakajima Xuegan was to rush to the southern city of Ontario Province before noon, and then break the city head-on, and storm the southern city with absolute superiority in troops.

Just when Nakajima Yukian finished speaking, he was about to order all the soldiers to attack, suddenly, he felt a little wet under his feet, at first he didn't care, and then he felt a little cold in his ankles, and looked down, I don't know when? The garrison area has quietly turned into a flood, and the water is very fast, and it will fill the garrison in a few blinks of an eye.

Looking around blankly, Nakajima Xuegan saw that everywhere he could see was watered by the water, he was stunned at first, and after coming back to his senses, Nakajima Xuegan suddenly shouted: "It's not good, those Xia Dynasty people dug up the main trunk of the river upstream, suspended the attack, and immediately transferred those grain and grass and quilt military uniforms, especially grain and grass, and must not encounter water ......"

With a roar from Nakajima Xue'an, the soldiers of the corps who were originally ready to go were disbanded instantly, and they hurriedly went to the logistics support area, and saw that there were already a lot of grain, grass and bedding and clothing soaked in water, and everyone ran over in a mess to rush to transport grain and grass materials, due to the gradual expansion of the water, in order to waterproof, the soldiers had to temporarily transport those materials to the city wall.

When the soldiers hurriedly carried supplies and cotton clothes in military tents, Nakajima Xue'an led the generals of various legions to observe the situation from the city wall, and when they saw that the originally flat and unobstructed area was all flooded at the moment, everyone gasped: "Water irrigates the inland, those Xia Dynasty people are too shady to resist our attack in this rogue way." ”

"Corps commander, the warriors of our group army ask for battle, isn't it just a small flood, we can wade through, build bridges when encountering water, open roads in the mountains, no matter how big the difficulty is, we can't stop the brave footsteps of the imperial soldiers." Seeing the situation around them, the commanders of several group armies below were furious and stood up one after another to ask for battle.

"Shut up." reprimanded, and after a few general soldiers closed their mouths, Nakajima Xue'an put his hands behind his back and said with a calm face: "Such a large area of flood areas is connected, and it is impossible to go, and now the flood has covered all the ground, and there is nothing to see on the surface, but under the water surface is a river except for the swamp mud, and if you are not careful, you will sink into it."

In this case, our siege equipment, war horses, chariots, and logistics supply convoys can't all be transported over, even if the infantry wades through the water, they will trap the quagmire or the river, look at the water potential, the border between the two provinces must be completely flooded, you just barely broke the southern city, and you can't station the reserve materials, and there is also water over there, you can't stand on the wall all day long, right? ”

"Is that all there is to it? Now that we have conquered the province of Tulai, we can't turn back and attack in the east of the state city, right? Once we evacuate, the army of the Xia Dynasty will definitely come over to re-arm, then yesterday's battle will be in vain, corps commander, what should we do next? Several generals were a little unwilling.

……

At this moment, Ling Xia was standing in front of the sand table to analyze the direction of the battle situation according to everyone's requirements, he pointed to the location of Tulai Province, and said with a solemn expression: "Although the crisis in Nancheng has been solved, according to my guess, the next step, we will have to confront the enemy head-on, and the generals of the other side are likely to divide the troops into two ways and attack Yuankun Frontier on both sides, and this Dongcheng Defense Area will bear the brunt." ”
