Chapter 540: A Tired Soldier's Plan
After a few days of strong men, 30,000 laborers went to the battlefield to dig the aqueduct from the River Forth to Yorktown, which was the waterway that led to Yorktown after the Forth River burst its banks.
The sailors in York City laughed as they watched the busy scene outside the city.
"Flooding Yorktown? Haha, it's a joke, they don't know that my Yorktown has a sewer system designed by the Führer himself, and there are ten outlets alone. ”
"This is the Chenhe Army, which is known as invincible in the world? I can't believe that this is a bunch of yellow-skinned crumbs, how can they come up with such an unrealistic plan! Ha ha! ”
There was a lot of talk in York, and even the generals couldn't figure it out.
In Yorktown, in the northern forest, Cheng led the army to cut down trees, and they sawed off all the branches of each tree and tied them into wooden rows, and after a few days, they had already made thousands of wooden rows.
Lu Yang's regiment carried the wooden rafts to the canal one by one, and when the flood flooded the city of York, the whole army rode the wooden rafts down the river and went straight to the edge of the city of York.
At that time, it was possible to climb the city wall directly from the wooden raft.
On a hill in the distance, two figures watched all this silently for several days, these two people were Yang Xi and Su Qinling.
"This time, you believe it, there is no shortage of talents in my Chenhe army, but without me, as long as they are given a platform, they can be brilliant."
Su Qinling nodded in admiration.
"Führer! Since you already knew that there was such a talent, why did you have to recruit it yourself, now that the beast meat is almost gone, I am afraid that I will waste some time before returning to Chenhe Kingdom. ”
Of course, Yang Xi couldn't tell him that the purpose of his proximity was to improve.
In addition to the territory of the British Isles, he also has his eye on two people in this territory, one solved and the other to be solved.
"I'm here to encourage them, with me, they have the bottom in their hearts!"
Now Yang Xi is the myth of the Chenhe people, with Yang Xi in charge, the combat power of the Chenhe army has increased by at least three percent, which is the spiritual pillar.
Three days later, at the sound of an order, the waters of the River Forth rushed down the canal towards Yorktown.
The river rushed to the city of York, the last of its might, the stone walls keeping the water out, but the water was pervasive, seeping through the gates.
The outside of the city is gradually surrounded by water, but the water inside the city enters the underground system through the drainage holes.
The defenders of the city were relieved, and this could only be a thrilling adventure.
But half an hour later, they found that the city no longer seeped into the ground, and the water gradually accumulated in the streets.
In another half an hour, the water level began to rise, even drowning the thighs, and the whole city, the water level began to rise.
At this moment, someone knows that the sewer drain has been blocked.
As the water level began to rise, panic began to rise in the city. There are 300,000 inhabitants in the city, and when the water level exceeds the first floor of the building, families begin to climb to the second floor, and some houses have only one floor, and naturally go to the roof.
However, the water continued to rise and did not stop.
In the distance, Huang Jie and the generals looked at the situation in the city with binoculars and were talking about something.
Huang said: "Now that the water level has risen to the city wall, it is time to attack. ”
Cheng Shi said: "Commander, this Deng Ai said that the water must be flooded for a day and night before the city can be attacked, and he still has a plan to exhaust the army." ”
"Deng Ai? Is it the one who gives the plan? ”
"Yes!"
"Pass him over!"
After a while, a young scholar with a lofty spirit was led to Huang Jie.
"Deng Ai, commander of the first battalion of the 79th Regiment, report for duty!" Deng Ai performed a military salute, so that he had a military temperament.
Huang Zhu also returned the military salute, followed by a question.
"This drain, the strong man, the wooden row, and the plugging of the drain are all your plan?"
"Report to the commander, and my subordinates will think about it."
"Good! Very well, if this battle goes well, I will apply to the Generalissimo for your gold medal in the name of the command. ”
"It's my subordinate's duty!"
Huang Jie laughed, I don't know if he can talk or laugh at him for being too fake.
"Good! Good! Then tell me about your tired tactics. ”
"Report to the Commander! The flood has just flooded the city, and the army is full of energy, and it will resist desperately at this moment to attack the city. But tonight the waters will not go out, and he will have no place to rest at night, but to sleep on the high places of the city, or on the walls. Tonight, our army can divide part of the soldiers and horses, blow the trumpet once in a while, pretend to attack the city, the other army is cold, all of them will wake up, can not sleep, and tomorrow, our army will be rested, and then break it in one fell swoop, it will be effortless! ”
After listening to Deng Ai's suggestion, Huang Jie and the others were overjoyed, Lu Yang and Sun Shao looked at Cheng Shi who was triumphant at the moment, and sighed in their hearts, it was a pity that such characters were not from their own camp.
By this time it was already afternoon, and Huang Jie immediately ordered a regiment of soldiers and horses to rest early and get up again at night, when they were responsible for guarding and harassing the enemy, while the other regiments were to sleep soundly.
On that day, many of the people in the city had nowhere to stay, so they naturally asked for help from the army, so the defenders of York City came to the rescue in various places, exhausted.
The people had nowhere to stay, so they naturally had to occupy the city walls, so the soldiers had to huddle to rest.
As soon as I fell asleep at night, before I closed my eyes, I suddenly heard a pillar of light outside the city, and the horns sounded in unison, and the people in the city, whether it was the soldiers, they were all frightened, but they heard the shouts outside the city to kill and shake the sky.
The defenders of York did not know what to do, organized haphazardly, and prepared to counterattack, and after half an hour, they finally organized their horses, but there was half a shadow of the enemy army somewhere.
After tossing and turning for two hours, they dispersed, but at this time, there were horns outside the city, and this time there were also gunshots, and some soldiers on the city wall, caught off guard, were shot by snipers and fell into the water.
The defenders of York were again organized and ready to meet the enemy. The riots were over by two o'clock in the morning.
But at two o'clock, the other party was still not worrying, and had just arranged a break, and there was a noise outside the city.
This time, the trumpets and drums were beating in unison.
The defenders of York City were tired, and their movements were much slower, and they were sleepy-eyed, but much slower.
Dozens of people died in this wave, and the number was not many, but the people were so panicked that they didn't dare to sleep.
It was not until more than five o'clock in the morning that they returned to their respective posts to rest.
Some people even swore that no matter how loud the noise was, they would not get up.
It was past five o'clock, and it was a beautiful thing to sleep, so the army went to sleep.
At six o'clock, the sky was already a little white, and the dim hills were already faintly visible.
Born in the Yellow Shooting Special Forces, this kind of thing has long been commonplace, and tens of thousands of troops of the Chenhe Army climbed on the wooden platoon and quietly went down the river.
Thousands of wooden rows were basically silent in the rushing water, and the sentry at the head of the city in the distance had already opened their eyes and closed their eyes, drowsy.
The first to climb the city wall were the 6,000 special forces of Huya and Wolftooth directly under Huang Jie.
As soon as they reached the wall, they entered the flock like tigers, reaping the life, and at this time, the real attack began, but silently. [End of Chapter]
