Chapter 948: Breaking the Cauldron

The Temporary Chinese Army in Fort Qianjin,

"You mean that along the Yellow River, there are a large number of soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasties active. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info。 ”

I asked the soaking wet messenger in surprise

"Attack and intercept any rangers and scouts who try to get close?"

"The Capture Group and the Cruising Group fought hard to break through before they were able to send the news!"

I suddenly stood up and looked at Wang Gui and the others in the tent, but I thought of a terrible possibility; Could it be that the Northern Dynasty, which has been passively beaten and retreating, finally wants to play a big news on the edge of the Yellow River.

"How many hunters and hussars are there under this tent."

I asked

"There are still two regiments of hunters and one battalion of hussars on standby."

Yu Hou, who was on duty in charge of the cavalry, replied

"Send them all out to me. Pick up the people who caught and roamed."

"By the way, let's find out more details."

Then I turned to Xue Hui, the Marquis of Yu, and said

"Quickly give orders to the front, back and left formations, and move closer to the main formation."

Then I repented.

"No, let them find a nearby location on higher ground, and build a defensive line and camp on the spot in case of emergency."

"Move supplies and equipment first, then vehicles and cattle and horses,"

"The rest of the personnel continued to hold their positions with ten-day rations to wait for the opportunity,"

"In addition, send someone to inform the mid lane commander,"

I hesitated and continued.

"Send a few more messengers and inform you of all the military orders you can meet."

Although this speculation is too big, it is also a bit surprising. But if it's a false alarm, it's just a waste of manpower and material resources.

But if it is true to my conjecture, it will be a great obstacle and loss. I don't think it's time to underestimate the limits and determination of these desperate enemies.

Turning around, I ordered as I looked in the direction of the inner fort

"Intensify the offensive and don't skimp on the use of artillery powder."

"Gotta take it down."

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

meanwhile

On the banks of the turbulent Yellow River, just as the turbid waves were emptying, the waves crashed on the shore.

Du Chong, the privy governor of the Eastern Capital who stayed behind and interviewed Henan Province, was also walking on the embankment, inspecting and inspecting the many troops who were busy working.

"Report."

At this time, a sudden shout attracted his attention.

"The flying cavalry intercepted in the south was attacked by enemy cavalry,"

"There is a defeat under the conflict, and it has been defeated.

"I can't wait long."

He frowned, and suddenly said in a deep voice as if he had made up his mind.

"The spies and sentries of the southern rebellion are paying more and more attention here."

"If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that even that invincible one will be recruited."

"With so many people and horses, how long do you think you can hide them?"

"Immediately send a signal to the south to carry out the 'sinking boat' plan, and there must be no mistake."

"The rights and wrongs of Luodu, I'll explain the freedom over there."

"Without the protection of the Black Scale Rider, these foot soldiers are afraid that they won't be able to go far afterwards."

One of his subordinates wondered

"Then let them all withdraw to the south pass of Heyang Bridge."

"There are still a lot of military horses in the distance, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up after I get the letter."

Another general hesitated

"Do you want to wait a little longer?"

"Then leave them alone..."

He stretched out his hand and waved it vigorously, as if he had shaken off some burden.

"Let's let them hold off some more southern,。。"

"It can be regarded as a martyrdom for the country."

"The key is the echo in the city of Los Angeles."

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

And in the north of the city of Luodu,

The men and horses holding high the banner of the avant-garde Jin Crow in front of the palace also just rushed through the East Tianjin Bridge, which was burned to the point that only the bare bridge deck remained, and in the Beishi in the opposite bank area, which was burned to a white ground, and the Henan special army from the city wall.

This also means that Luoshui will no longer be an obstacle separating the two major cities in the north and south; And let the Liang army and horses in the city really have the opportunity to join forces and push and compress the stubborn defenders in the corner of Beiguo into the fang area near the imperial city.

It's just that in the places they didn't notice, the Luoshui has risen a lot rapidly under the heavy rain for several days, and some places have overflowed the embankment, forming small patches of waterlogging.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Two days later, the last resistance of Qianjin Fort was also taken by the absolute superiority of the step-by-step gang.

It's just that although he killed the Guannai crusade envoy Ge Shulu in front of the battle, and captured the seriously wounded Datong Jiedu Liuhou Lu Weisi, a large number of generals and their assistants who had not had time to commit suicide, and hung the titles of Jiedu Envoy, Jiedu Liuhou, Jinglu Envoy, and Defense Envoy and their assistants were hundreds of people;

But in the end, he caught the so-called target with the highest identity and value, Su Yuanjing, the Xuanhui envoy and Taiwei of the Northern Courtyard, but he was an out-and-out stand-in and an impostor, which made this result inevitably lose color and shrink a little in the end.

Although the wind and rain have stopped, but when I woke up overnight, the outside has become a vast sea in a sense; This can't help but in my daily interaction with the three bitter joys, but also set off a dusty memory, about the future generations "come to Wuhan this summer to see the sea", "natural sea view room and the like", "the sea, you are all water" and other Internet jokes;

The valleys and streams that flowed through the vicinity, and even the canals in the distance, along with some of the surrounding rolling hills and slopes, were all gone.

Of course, it also includes the siege camp once established by the Huaidong Army, and the defense areas distributed layer by layer on the periphery. Only the Beibi Mountains are left in the distance, which can be used as a basic reference point to indicate the direction.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast and surging water surface, which is no longer the original city canal, or the comparable flooding trend of Yishui.

I was actually trapped, trapped in the flooding of the Yellow River with multiple executions, and by the way, I was separated from the other three groups of people, and temporarily lost contact and news.

The only fortunate thing is that the Qianjin Fort itself is on a higher ground, and it was built on a large platform at the mouth of the river, and the foundation was further increased.

As a result, with the exception of the lower outer wall foundations on the western side, which collapsed under the flooding and impact, most of the other ramparts were undisturbed above the water.

My main formation, together with the right formation of Wang Guibu, was able to get out of the flooded area, but it was inevitably crowded with two formations of about 18,000 men and horses, plus the chariots and horses and supplies accompanying the army, and it was a little cramped and difficult to move.

In other words, this is one of the preset counterattack strongholds of the Northern Dynasty after the flood, and there are a lot of materials stored in it that have been destroyed, plus the carrying baggage brought in by the Huai army in two formations, at least it can hold on to the spot for a long time.

But where are the allies I warned, it's obviously a little hard to say. At least I had seen a large expanse of floating debris of suspected human corpses floating down from a distance on the walls of the Castle of Centauree.

This is the great water of the Yellow River during the flood season, not the relatively gentle and limited width of the Huai River or the existence of Jishui.

Even the Huaibei River flood took Huaidong's efforts and more than half a year to gradually eliminate the flood impact in Sizhou and Suzhou, and it took two years to restore it to a large area of fertile land, cities and roads.

As for the flooded areas on the south bank of the Huai River, they are still largely soaked in all kinds of mud and water pools, that is, in the territory of Chuzhou, where the Huainan camp is located, through the army to collect the displaced people, and gradually level and repair the sections and roads, so as to maintain the most basic trade and population flow with the town of Huaidong on the other bank.

Once the Yellow River floods, it will not be as simple as a diversion or long-term flooding, but it is likely to be a drastic change in the ecological and hydrological environment of the entire region in the future, and even the subsequent impact and changes in the downstream areas and connected water systems after the water recedes.

The most direct consequence is that if the rich Heluo Plain is also turned into a water town, the essence and value of the dynasty taking Luodu will also be greatly reduced.

And as the hinterland of the Northern Dynasty and the foundation of survival, it is also heavily damaged, which can be said to be the same strategy of losing 800 and killing 1,000 enemies.

However, there is still a lot to do for any animal that is crowded with such a large fort, personal duties and hygiene in a hot and humid environment, emergency measures for food and water, shelter from the wind and rain, means of heating and dehumidification, etc.

During this period, it is inevitably reminiscent of the later online novels, where a small town can ambush hundreds of thousands of heavily armed cavalry, and an army of 300,000 can be rushed out as soon as the city gate is opened.

Fortunately, there is a corresponding self-sustaining underground water source in Qianjin Fort, and after the limited ration, it can barely meet the daily basic needs of the personnel to drink; The external water source that has been precipitated and filtered can also be used for basic washing and cooling purposes.

To this end, he also hurried to build a large row of similar illegal covered sheds along the incomplete inner and outer three city walls; Although it is very simple, at least it ensures that the wounded and sick can be placed in the indoor building, and the ordinary soldiers also have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and put down the bunks to take turns to rest.

As for the captives or something, they can only be stuffed together on the haystacks in the stables and other places, like canned human flesh, and fully appreciate the power generated with love. No, it should be the true meaning of huddle for warmth.
