——

Faced with the strategy of dividing the Three Jin Coalition forces into two routes, the Qin State soon found itself in a dilemma, and the Qin State spent nineteen months in a state of panic.

Wu Sui.

It took 19 months and 500,000 manpower under the auspices of Sun Shuyou to finally dig through the 130-mile-long stretch of land between the Yellow River and Luoshui.

At this moment, the sun has not yet risen, and the vast mountains on the south bank of the Yellow River are as brilliant as cotton satin.

Wei Yi led the generals of the Three Jin Coalition Army to stand quietly on a hillside, and endless battle flags and sergeants lined up on the hill, like a great wall built by the human body.

"General, everything is ready, just wait for the general's order." A sergeant came to the top of the hillside, bowed to Wei Yi, and said.

Le Yi and other generals were all in high spirits, and they all looked at the commanders of the three armies, this moment has been waiting for a year and a half, and now it has been cut through the river and Luoshui, as long as Wei Yi ordered the opening of the canal to drain the water, then the water of the Yellow River poured south, and within three days, the Yiyang City that lay in front of the coalition army will be self-defeating.

Wei Yi asked, "But all the people in Wusui City have withdrawn?" ”

"General, evacuate and evacuate."

"Okay, order Sun Shuyou, immediately open the canal and drain the water!"

"No—"

After receiving the order, the herald stepped on horseback and galloped away, and Wei Yi immediately continued: "Generals, the three armies will immediately pull out their camps at dawn the next day, and go south at the same time, and when our army arrives in Yiyang, I believe that the flood has poured into the city, and as soon as the city is broken, it will immediately press the border to Hangu Pass!" ”

The generals faced the commander and bowed their hands in unison, and immediately withdrew one after another to start preparations, and Wei Yi looked away in the direction where the North Yellow River was located. Soon, five miles away from the Wusui fortress, on the shore of the Yellow River, the surging flood flowed eastward, and Sun Shuyou built a huge water village on the south bank of the Yellow River.

At this time, Dan saw dozens of soldiers pouring buckets of fierce fire oil on the water village. Half an hour later, all the personnel withdrew from the water village, only to see a sergeant holding a torch when the torch in his hand was thrown hard, the spark of the stars instantly became a prairie fire on the huge water village, with the fire becoming more and more rapid, the whole water village turned into a sea of fire, and the wooden stake supporting the water village was finally burned into ashes.

The first pillar broke, and then it spread wildly, and the entire water village collapsed in just a few breaths.

With the collapse of the water village on the south bank of the Yellow River, the fragile embankment finally could not withstand the water pressure and burst on the spot, and the rapid river water poured out frantically, like a monstrous beast, it was already unstoppable.

The raging flood poured madly southward, mixed with broken branches and stones rushing down, and the rumbling sound beat the earth and shocked every onlooker to the greatest extent.

Soon, the flood rushed to the Wusui fortress, the water of the Yellow River poured into Wusui, the fortress built by the Qin State fell into ruins, Wusui City was just the beginning, the monstrous torrent all the way to the south continued to swallow everything in the realm.

A day later, this torrent injected Yishui, unsurprisingly destroyed Yicheng, Yishui almost passed through half of the Western Zhou border, the water level soared so that more than half of the remaining fiefdoms of the Zhou room were reduced to Zeguo, Zhou Tianzi in the eastern capital of Luoyi was almost scared half to death, fortunately Luoyang City is in the north of Yishui, the terrain is higher than the river, this torrent passed by Luoyang City, and was spared.

On the second day, the torrent continued to pour southward in an unstoppable manner, and finally poured into Luoshui, which hit the entire Luoshui basin and turned the surrounding fields into a vast ocean overnight.

Fifteen miles away in the southeast of Yiyang City is Luhoi Mountain, the southbound Sanjin coalition army camped in this place, at this moment, Wei Yi, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at Yiyang in the northwest direction, and within his sight, the foot of Luhoi Mountain became a swampy place.

The water of the Yellow River flows through Luoshui, and the small Luoshui cannot bear the monstrous water of the Yellow River at all, and the originally dry land is actually half a foot higher than the water level.

At this time, a single horse galloped at the foot of Luhoi Mountain, and the horse's hooves stepped on this swampy land and splashed everywhere, and after half an hour, Pegasus entered Luhoi Mountain, "General Yushang, the water poured into Yiyang City, and the Qin soldiers in the city have abandoned the city and retreated westward." ”

The accompanying coalition generals were all excited, and as soon as the flood came, the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Yiyang City was broken. Wei Yi's spirits were greatly lifted, and he immediately ordered: "Where is Le Yi?" ”

"The last general—" Le Yi was overjoyed when he heard the commander call his name, and immediately made a promise.

Wei Yi immediately set his eyes on him: "Immediately order troops, lead our guard army with 30,000 iron cavalry to pursue the situation, and leave Wang Yu's troops to the east of Kunsai, and absolutely not let his men and horses enter Kunsai to join Huayangjun." ”

"No——!" Le Yi struggled to arch his hand, waved his robe and turned away. Wei Yi looked around at the generals and said: "Order the three armies, immediately pull out the camp, send troops to force the territory, and point the sword at Hangu Kunsai!" ”

It didn't take long for the Sanjin coalition army to pull out the camp one after another, and the 300,000 foot cavalry army poured out from Luhoi Mountain, and the commanding Le Yi took the 30,000 elite iron cavalry troops to defend the country and took the lead in attacking at the fastest speed, and soon distanced himself from the main force of the army.

Wei Yu did not use the generals of Wei Guo to pursue Wang Yu's subordinates, which naturally had a deeper intention, which was to tell Han and Zhao generals that he had no intimacy with the coalition forces.

Moreover, Le Yi, the rising general of Zhao State, followed King Zhao Wuling to the east and west for a long time, and the cavalry troops had rich combat experience, so if he went to pursue Wang Yu's troops, he would definitely be able to leave these 20,000 Qin troops.

The 30,000 iron cavalry of the guards galloped on the swampy water that had not been formed for a long time, and the rush was extremely spectacular.

Two years ago, he took 30,000 horses to defend the city, so that the 300,000 coalition troops were helpless against Yiyang City, and this city was like an insurmountable mountain in front of Wei Yi's army.

In the past nineteen months, Wang Yi has also received a letter from Wei Ran in Xianyang, and he also knows that Sanjin intends to break Yiyang City with the method of water attack, but even if he knows, what can he do? The Qin State only gave him 30,000 Qin troops from Wang Di, and the 300,000 allied troops who were shrunk in the city did not dare to consume it here, so he didn't do anything.

But Wang Yi is also helpless about the drainage of the Sanjin canal, Wei Yi can't wait for him to go out of the city to meet the attack, Wang Yi will naturally not be stupid enough to use 30,000 Qin troops and Wei Mi's 300,000 coalition troops to fight in the wilderness, that is tantamount to self-defeating, and he can only shrink into the city and watch the Sanjin open mountains and canals.

On the other side, Le Yi, who was chasing after him, immediately ordered: "Pass the order and go straight to the rope pool." The adjutant general suddenly wondered: "General, why do you want to go north to the rope pool?" Isn't the remnants of Wang Yu, which our army is pursuing, going west to Kunsai? ”

Le Yi, who rode his horse and galloped forward, let out a long laugh and said: "Wang Yi is a veteran of the battlefield, our coalition army has cavalry, and with his temperament, he now abandons the city and retreats westward, and he definitely knows that our army is very likely to send cavalry troops to pursue." ”

"Incomprehensible!"

Le Yi said confidently: "Haha, the return of the horse only said that Wang Di's troops abandoned the city and retreated westward, but our army really didn't know Wang Di's marching route, although I didn't know where the Qin army was at this time, but I also knew that he Wang Di would reach the rope pool." ”

"Please make it clear to the general!"

"This matter is not difficult to predict, our coalition army water attack on Yiyang is a move of the Yang, the Qin army is helpless, now the water tank Yiyang, Wang Yi led the people to retreat west, can take away people but can not take away food, the water has destroyed everything in the city, naturally including food. Since the Qin army has long known that our coalition army wants to carry out a water attack, it can be seen that Wang Yu has been prepared to evacuate Yiyang, and he must have expected that he would not take away the grain when evacuating, so there must be a hoarding of food on the west retreat route, this rope pond is in the northeast of Kunsai, the Qin army is also a person, and it is also to eat, Wang Yu's 20,000 horses and horses will not be able to reach Kunsai without eating or drinking, so I expect him to reach the rope pond. ”
