As a strategic location in the Zhongshan Kingdom, the construction of Dongyuan Castle cost no less than that of Shiyi. Shiyi also has a well pass to help each other, but Dongyuan is a horse Pingchuan, there is no natural risk to rely on, so when Zhongshan people built Dongyuan City, not only used a lot of rammed earth reinforcement, but also built horse walls and other defense facilities, it really took some thought.

In "Pipe", it was once said: Where the capital of the country is established, it must be above the Guangchuan, the high should not be close to the Fu and the water is sufficient, and the low should not be near the water and the ditch is provincial. However, the construction of Dongyuan City suffered a loss just in the low and near the water. But there's no way around it. In terms of the current population of Dongyuan City, the underground water source often cannot meet the per capita needs, not to mention that this is an important military town, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed on weekdays, so the consumption of water can be imagined. If you want to build it into a strong fortress, you must adopt the plan of running the water from the ground through the city. This is one of the reasons why most city planners cross rivers through their cities.

However, in Pang Cong's view, the biggest problem in Dongyuan City is far more than the water source passing through the city.

"General, the gate has been built, and both sides of the Dongyuan River embankment have been reinforced, and the gate can be released to store water at any time."

Pang Cong looked at the sky, then turned his head to look at Zhao Jun, who was gradually retreating under Dongyuan City, squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, and ordered: "Store water!" ”

As his order was gradually conveyed, Zhao Jun, who had been busy for a day and a night, slowly put down the wooden gate that had just been built. It is indeed difficult to build a perfect water retention project in one day and one night, but its simple facilities are enough to meet the needs of the huge onions. Zhao Jun on both sides of the bank slowly put the wooden gate into the rushing river through the winch, blocking the river water, and the river rose instantly, and some even overflowed the embankment. However, the gate was very rudimentary, and it did not cut off the flow of the river.

Pang Cong saw that the river had been cut off, and he believed that soon, the people of Zhongshan would also realize that it was Zhao Jun who had done it. At that time, it is difficult to say whether the fish is dead or not, but it is certain that God does not have much time for him to adjust, and he must seize this opportunity to give Dongyuan City a fatal blow.

Gradually, the moon climbed into the middle of the sky. Pang Cong was lying on the carpet, recuperating his energy, because at night, it was the key to determining the outcome of this war, and there was no room for loss. So after he arranged the patrol of the soldiers and horses, he went to rest for a while. When he was sleepy, he only heard someone calling in his ear: "General, general, there is an emergency military situation!" ”

Pang Cong immediately opened his eyes when he heard this, because they were in ambush, he naturally did not dare to light torches, candles and other lighting objects, he could only see through the moonlight through the tent that it was his lieutenant who woke him up.

"How's it going?" He was determined, which was also a kind of demeanor of a general, no matter how dangerous the situation, to remain calm.

"General Hui, half an hour ago, a group of Zhongshan soldiers sneaked in front of our troops, but they were soon discovered by patrol soldiers, and the two sides just tested each other, and the Zhongshan people ran back again." The adjutant said proudly.

Pang Cong didn't say a word, stood up and put on his cloak, not at all excited by the good news of the lieutenant, as if he had expected it.

"What time is it?"

"It's almost time." Said the adjutant general.

Pang Cong fastened the last tripper, washed his face with cold water, and then said to the lieutenant general: Beat the drum to win the battle.

"Everyone, here's your chance to make a difference." Pang Cong looked at the generals in the audience with a serious expression, and they all looked very excited. Since knowing Pang Cong's plan, everyone has probably realized in their hearts that if nothing else, Dongyuan City will be destroyed in an instant. It's not that this plan is seamless, but this highly imaginative way of breaking the city is so refreshing that everyone is refreshed. It seems that after the famous general, there is a machine.

"General, the last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters and act as a vanguard." Pang Cong's voice fell slightly, and someone jumped out. Now everyone in Zhao knows that the king is good at martial arts, and intends to revive the Zhao country, this Zhongshan is the first tough battle, and if he performs well, he will definitely be favored by the king. What's more, now, the generals of the entire Zhao State are undergoing a younger generation, if you don't grasp the opportunity at this time, you won't have a chance in the future.

The other generals figured out this section and were also eager to try, it was originally a victory that was nine out of ten, and there was no reason to give it away easily. Pang Cong was naturally very happy to see that the military heart was available.

"Where is Zhao Ying?"

"The end will be."

"Listen to my orders, and after half an hour, open the sluice gates and release the water."

"Yes." The general named Zhao Ying was happy in his heart, he didn't have to go into battle in this battle, just release the water, the credit was his own, and there was no better errand than this.

"Where is Pang Ju?"

"The end will be." After speaking, a general came out of the column to salute. This is a member of the Pang Cong family, and it is very easy to use. This time he was nominally a general, but in fact, he went out as Pang Cong's family and was not in the army establishment, so he was at most a representative of Pang Cong.

"I order you to take all the stone throwers, assemble and stand by five miles north of Dongyuan City, and when the flood is over, join the battlefield as soon as possible, and give me a hard blow to the city wall that has been impacted by the flood!"

"The last will obey."

"Remember, bring plenty of planks, otherwise it may be difficult to pass through flooded areas. But if you delay the military situation, you will not be spared! ”

"Yes!"

After the two auxiliary armies are finished, it is time to arrive at the vanguard of the first positive seal. However, for the position of the first vanguard, a suitable candidate must be chosen, otherwise, it will be difficult to fight this battle.

He looked around the tent, and after a while he noticed a young man, standing at the back of everyone, with his head bowed. He pondered for a while and drank: "Where is Zhao Hao?" ”

When the young man heard Pang Cong shouting his name, he was obviously stunned, and took a step back in astonishment, and in the eyes of others, it seemed that his body was too immature to even bear the armor. So much so that the generals snickered, and they also felt angry about Pang Cong's choice of him.

"The end will be."

Pang Cong looked at the scene just now, and the thoughts in his heart began to waver a little. This little guy is about the same age as his son Pang Nuan and Lian Wu's son Lian Po, but maybe he has a different background and has the stubbornness of the common people. At that time, I began to notice him when I was in the Arrow Ridge camp, and I always supervised and promoted. found that this son not only has some talent in the art of war, but more importantly, the toughness of that soldier, which really makes Pang Cong admire. In comparison, Pang Nuan is a little bookish, Lian Po has more bravery, but this Zhao Hao seems to have both, and he is not outstanding. However, it is worth cultivating.

"A certain order, half an hour later, you lead three battalions of soldiers and horses to assemble in the north of Dongyuan City and stand by. When the stone thrower breaks through the city, you must rush into the city as soon as possible and take the city. After speaking, he looked at this young man who was still immature, and said in a serious tone. Can you do it?"

Zhao Hao obviously didn't expect that such a difficult task would be handed over to him, to be honest, he didn't have absolute confidence. You must know that entering the battlefield at the first moment of breaking through the city is to risk being accidentally injured by friendly treultiacs and the danger of powerful sniping from the enemy. To put it bluntly, although the position of the first positive Indian striker has great merit, the danger is also the highest. He instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, when he raised his head and glanced at the slightly mocking eyes of his colleagues around him, the stubborn spirit in his heart burst out again. He is actually a distant relative of the Zhao royal family, and he has almost nothing to do with the current King of Zhao, and belongs to the side branch of the side branch. It was because he joined the army at a young age. It is precisely because of this that he has the resilience that is rare for ordinary children. In fact, there are many side branches of the Zhao family like him, but there are not many stubborn and resilient people like him.

"The last will obey." Zhao Hao took the order and said, but he was too young, and even when he said it, he seemed milky, which made people quite uneasy. This caused everyone to laugh again.

Pang Cong didn't care, arranged the affairs of the other generals, ordered them to prepare separately, and left Zhao Hao alone.

Looking at this young man who is similar in age to his son, although his sword eyebrows are in the sideburns and his expression is stubborn, he still can't hide the childishness between his eyebrows. "Are you sure?"

Zhao Hao knew that Pang Cong would leave him behind, so he was naturally a little careful. It's just that even Pang Cong doesn't trust himself. As soon as the stubborn spirit came up, he hugged his fists and responded: "You can't break the city, come and see you!" ”

Pang Cong likes his brave momentum, to put it bluntly, a general should not only be strategic, but also should be the courage of the army, if he retreats before the battle, even if he can win the battle, it will be a tragic victory.

"It's not a small difficulty, you have to think twice."

"The last general is willing to make a military order." Without saying a word, he bit his fingers, walked to Pang Cong, pulled a piece of silk book, brushed and wrote, and handed it to Pang Cong, with a resolute face. Pang Cong took the military order, and the last eight words "If you don't break the city, come to see you" was written with extraordinary momentum, just like the resentment in his heart.

"In that case, I wish you a successful start." Pang Cong said, patted Zhao Hao's immature shoulder, fortunately, he may be able to bear this heavy responsibility.

"I will not be dishonored." Zhao Hao said, saluted Pang Cong, turned around and left the big tent.

Looking at the back of Zhao Hao leaving, Pang Cong smiled slightly, and couldn't help sighing: "It's good to be young." Then I thought that maybe I should let go of Pang Nuan and let him come out to experience the experience by himself. and that Xiao Lianpo, in the final analysis, it is these young people who can represent the future of Zhao Guo. He shook his head, forget it, let's take down Dongyuan City first.

However, after laying Dongyuan City, what should be done next step, I don't know how the king and Shangqing calculated. He walked over to the sand table and fell into deep thought.
