The Battle of Qianzhou began on the fifth day. You rode your horse again to the city of Qianzhou.

"Wei Shoubei, don't come unharmed?" You say, "I'm here to bring water to the people in Qianzhou." Clean and sweet water, 200 buckets in total, right under your city. You can send someone out and get it. I'm not going to attack you. ”

You say, "I know, now you and your soldiers are so thirsty that your throats are smoking." You've been staying up. There is not much left of your antidote to the water of the well. I deeply sympathize with this. ”

"But," you say, "the 200 barrels of sweet spring water outside the city are not for you to drink." It was given to the old, weak, women and children among the people of Qianzhou City. It is for the elderly, children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers. I don't want them to suffer with you. Of course, you can also give them to the soldiers. However, I have ordered a large number of slips of paper to be tied to the arrows and shot into the city. They will know that I gave them water, it was you, who appropriated it. ”

"I also told them that if they don't want to die, if they don't want to see their relatives die of thirst or diarrhea, they can choose not to follow you and come out of Kaejo to surrender to me."

You said: "Wei Shoubei, for you, for the people of Qianzhou City, this war is meaningless, the Liu brothers, who is the king of Han, is it really important to them?" Is it important enough to gamble with the life of the whole family? As long as they kill you and Kaesong surrenders, all this suffering will be over. ”

You said: "The Han King of Yunzhou, Wei Shoubei, you have also seen it." Was he a brutal monarch? Didn't he spare the people in the land he ruled? The people who live under his rule are not able to make a living? Ask yourself.

"You may not send anyone out to get this water. In that case, you are thirsty to death for them, not me. Our Han king is merciful, and he who does not resist will not be killed. ”

"How's it going, have you had enough of the smoky, thirsty? You, the soldiers who followed Wei Yingdian to resist me, have you had enough? If you have had enough, you can surrender at any time. I have never launched a strong attack on Qianzhou, and I have been waiting patiently. ”

"You traitor to your father!" Wei Yingdian endured the tearing pain of his chapped lips and scolded you in the city.

He said, "Not everyone knows the word loyalty like you!" That's the answer I'm giving you! ”

With that, he draws his bow and arrows and shoots an arrow straight at you.

But the range is not enough, and the arrow flies a foot in front of you, and the strength is exhausted, and it falls to the ground.

You watch Wei Yingdian's arrow fall to the ground. You smile and reach out and pull a white feather arrow from the quiver.

You take the arrow and draw the bow, aim at the banner of the Southern Han army at the head of the city, shoot an arrow, whistle on the ground, the arrow breaks through the wind, and the sound accurately breaks the rope hanging the flag on the flagpole at the head of the city, and the rope snaps to the ground, and the banner of the Southern Han army suddenly droops down.

You say, "Come and don't be rude." Wei Shoubei, this is my answer to your answer! ”

Before Wei Yingdian could react, he saw a white light in front of him. It was too late, it was too late, and your second white feather arrow also passed through the battlements at a lightning speed, heading straight for Wei Yingdian's front door! Wei Yingdian never expected that your second arrow could come so fast, the power was so strong, just saw the white light, the arrow had already reached a position far from the center of his eyebrows, and he didn't even have time to raise the shield in his hand to cover it, he couldn't help but be surprised, frightened, and at the last moment, he only had time to shrink his body a little under the battlement. I only heard a crisp sound on the ground, and your white feather arrow hit Wei Yingdian's helmet just right. Wei Yingdian only felt a buzz in his head, his eyes turned black for a while, his ears were buzzing, he couldn't stand on his feet, he stepped back more than a dozen steps one after another, and even sat down on the city wall with a plop.

The soldiers rushed over one after another, blocking the gap in the battlements with their shields, and came to the aid of Wei Yingdian.

Wei Yingdian got up from the ground in a daze behind the protective wall formed by the shields of the soldiers, only to feel that the ground was shaking and the Venus was floating in front of him.

As he was in shock, your voice from below the city was heard clearly again.

You say, "Wei Shoubei." There's one thing you'd better remember: don't provoke me before I attack. This time, I'll spare your life again. ”

You say, "Your time is running out." Think clearly, those who resist die, and those who surrender live! ”

Wei Yingdian returned to his garrison in shock, and his armor was not taken off, sitting on a chair panting.

At this time, his subordinates hurriedly reported: "Wei is guarded." Just now we heard a sound under the city walls, as if the enemy army was digging a tunnel under the city walls! ”

Wei Yingdian gritted his teeth and said: "It's tricky, it turns out that he came to deliver water to attract my attention so that he can launch a formal attack underground!" ”

Wei Yingdian thought about countermeasures and said categorically: "They dig, we dig too!" Where we hear any movement, we will dig from inside the city, and dig in the direction of the sound, even if we dig three feet into the ground, and we will find them in the ground, and kill them for me! ”

(iv)

Outside the city of Qianzhou. The Central Tent of the Han Army.

The commander of the Han army reported: "General, Wei Yingdian reacted quickly. He seems to be digging tunnels in the city, trying to get through our tunnels and fight us underground. ”

You say, "Send more men to dig day and night, and dig through as soon as possible." Also, go to the surrounding villages and collect all the dogs and rats. As soon as their tunnel is connected to ours, when the entrance of the cave is not yet passable, let the dogs and rats go to their side of the hole to bite them, disturb them and buy time by not enlarging the hole. ”

You summon the general in charge of the ground attack to teach him face-to-face.

"Wei Yingdian's energy is now underground, so we will fight on the ground, order the infantry on the ground, and start to forcibly attack the city. As long as Wei Yingdian goes to the tunnel, we will attack the city, and as soon as he goes to the city, we will speed up the excavation with all our might, so that he can't take care of it up and down. ”

On the 10th day of the Battle of Qianzhou, you sent 200 barrels of clean drinking water to Qianzhou again.

Each bucket was written in shocking characters in large characters: "Those who kill Wei Yingdian, seal thousands of households, and the reward is 10,000 taels!" ”

Wei Yingdian hated it so much, but because he was so thirsty that he couldn't bear it, he could only endure the humiliation and send people out of the city, and transport the buckets with the words encouraging the soldiers and civilians of Qianzhou to kill him back to the city one by one.

Wei Yingdian covered all the buckets with oilcloth and dragged them into the military camp in the city, ignoring the lives of the people in the city, and gave all the water to the troops defending the city, hoping to restore a little combat effectiveness.

The thirsty old and weak women and children in Qianzhou City watched drinking water enter the city for the second time, and then they were transported away from their eyes and sent to the barracks.

In the process of transporting the buckets, there was a small riot in the city, and some of the young men in the city tried to rob the buckets, but they were suppressed by Wei Yingdian's troops.

In the course of the struggle between the two sides, many people were killed and wounded. The wheels carrying the buckets were stained with blood from both sides.

Wei Yingdian's personal soldiers pried open one of the buckets. Wei Yingdian took the water scoop and drank it all.

He looked at the big red letters on the bucket, and felt that all he drank was blood flowing from his veins.
