"An embankment full of dogs? How can it be? How can it be?! ”

Hearing Lu Fatzi's speculation, Wu Laohan's first reaction was impossible, and the second reaction was still impossible-how could Mangou blow up the embankment by himself? Even if the full dog can ignore the life and death of the people, but if the embankment is blown up, where will the full dog army in Jingzhou City run?

"Explosives from the dogs?" Wang Shirong also felt extremely incredible, judging from the sound of the explosion, the gunpowder that blew up the embankment was definitely Wu Jun's three-good explosives - but the three-good explosives from Mangou's side?

"How do I know?" Fat Lu roared, "Grandfather, now is not the time to think so much, our army should immediately move to the high ground, and send another army to the 10,000-person embankment to see if we can temporarily keep the embankment!" ”

"Yes." Wu Lao Hanjian finally calmed down from the shock, and hurriedly shouted: "Yifeng, you and Gao Dejie led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to the 10,000-person embankment, and the others, all the troops were collected and returned to the camp, and the baggage was transferred to the high ground!" ”

"Bell bell!" The order was conveyed, the gong sounded for the urgent withdrawal of troops, and the well-trained Wu army teams urgently collected their troops and returned to their teams, and hurried to the large camp on the west side of Taibai Lake to transfer heavy grain and grass - also thanks to the fact that the Wu army had stopped the infantry attack just now, otherwise, not a single Wu army soldier who had attacked the city wall would really not want to come back from under the city wall. Lu Fatzi and Gao Dejie galloped on their horses, led Gao Dejie's headquarters of 4,000 elite cavalry, and hurriedly killed the 10,000 people embankment in the west with torches.

Not to mention the retreat of the main force of the Wu army under the personal command of Wu Lao Han, just say that when Lu Fatzi and Gao Dejie led the army all the way to the vicinity of the 10,000-person embankment, there was still more than a mile away from the 10,000-person embankment, and the flood on the ground had already submerged the instep, and the water flow was very rapid, and the rising momentum was extremely fast, Gao Hongchen and other generals were worried that the flood would be ruthless, and swept away their whole army, and they all persuaded Lu Fatzi and Gao Dejie to withdraw their troops and quickly retreat to the high ground. Gao Dejie was a little hesitant, but Fat Lu yelled: "We can't withdraw, as long as there is still a point of hope, we have to work hard!" Otherwise, our main force will be finished, and the prince will be finished! ”

Gao Dejie, who had captured Emperor Yongli for Wu Lao Han Jian, did not say much about Wu Lao Han Annihilation's Geng Geng loyalty, and when he heard Lu Fatzi's words, Gao Dejie bit his teeth, and also drew his sword and shouted: "Continue to rush, those who take a step back, cut immediately!" The cavalry of the Wu army did not dare not listen, so they had to continue to charge against the rapid flood, and rushed to the embankment of 10,000 people.

When finally rushed to the bottom of the 10,000-person embankment, the flood had already flooded to the horse's belly, and the water on the 10,000-person embankment was roaring, the voices of the people were boiling, and the shouts such as "dig quickly", "dig quickly" and "dig bigger" could be faintly heard, the sky was too dark for the Wu army and everyone could not see the situation on the embankment clearly, and they could only charge towards the embankment with the last line of hope. And when they rushed to the top of the 10,000-person embankment, the situation that made Lu Fatzi and Gao Dejie jump like thunder happened, and a team of Qing soldiers of about four or five hundred people dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, surrounded the gaps in the two dikes that were surging out of the water, and were frantically digging the dikes!

"Brothers, kill!" Gao Dejie roared with red eyes, "Kill it, slaughter all the dogs to Lao Tzu, and don't leave any of them!" Don't take prisoners! ”

"Kill!" The thunderous cavalry of the Wu army swooped up, wielding their knives and frantically slashing and killing the group of mite Qing soldiers who had exterminated people's surnames. Lu Fatzi grabbed Xiao Erlang and shouted with red eyes: "Go and report to the prince immediately, there is still rescue value in the 10,000-person embankment, please send the infantry to bring tools up immediately!" ”

"Order!" Xiao Erlang didn't say a word, took a few personal soldiers and rushed down the embankment again. Lu Fatzi turned to Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu and the others next to him and shouted: "Give it all to Lao Tzu, full of dogs, no one left!" Lu Fatzi's personal team didn't say a word, they all pulled out their waist knives, and rushed towards the Qing soldiers with blood-red eyes.

"Kill!" In the roar, the cavalry of the Wu army swept up, and the soldiers of the Qing army shouted to call the police, while holding hoes and shovels and other-digging tools to resist, but what they encountered was not only the most elite ace cavalry in the Wu army, but also the angry army that was completely angry, and the result was naturally predictable.

"Kill!" Almost at the first moment when the two armies collided, the first dozen or so Qing soldiers were cut into pieces by the oncoming Wu cavalry, and the Wu cavalry behind them surged up like a tide, and the snow and bright sabers rose and fell one after another like a storm, blood and brains suddenly splashed everywhere, and the severed limbs of human heads were also flying all over the crowd, and the Qing soldiers who were picked up in the air by bayonets screamed like pigs, but they couldn't scream three times, and they were cut into dozens or hundreds of sections by the sabers of the Wu cavalry, and more Qing soldiers were directly knocked down, Then it was trampled into meat sauce by countless horses' hooves, and the Qing army team of four or five hundred people was rushed into a piece of scattered sand by the Wu cavalry almost in the blink of an eye, without the slightest resistance.

"Wu Dog is amazing, run!" I don't know who shouted, the Qing soldiers threw down their hoes and tools and ran away, the red-eyed Wu cavalry chased after them, and Lu Fatzi grabbed Gao Dejie and shouted: "Brother Dajie, you take half of the brothers to chase and kill Mangou, and leave the rest to me to plug the gap, how much can be blocked!" ”

Gao Dejie agreed, and quickly asked the rear army to stop and hand it over to Lu Fatzi's command, and led the front army to continue to pursue and kill the Qing soldiers, and Lu Fatzi jumped off his horse and rushed to the gap in the embankment blown up by the Qing army to observe, which made Lu Fatzi relieved that the Qing army was obviously not skilled enough in explosives blasting, and the amount of explosives was not large.

"Be careful, sir." Hong Xiguan was afraid that Fat Man Lu would fall into the water port, so he hurriedly grabbed Fat Man's fat hand. Fat Lu didn't pay attention to it, but just turned around and shouted: "Immediately collect tools, move all the corpses of the soldiers full of dogs, tie them together with ropes and stuff them into the water inlet, and dig and fill the soil!" Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

In a series of shouts and urgings, the cavalry of the Wu army hurriedly acted together, collected the hoes and shovel tools thrown by the Qing soldiers, collected the corpses of the Qing soldiers at the scene, tied them into a ball with belts and horse reins, and under the command of Lu Fatzi, they moved the bundles of Qing soldiers' corpses and filled them into the water mouth that had rapidly expanded to more than one zhang, but the embankment of the 10,000-person embankment was in the shape of an inclined trapezoid, coupled with the rapid flow of water, two groups of corpses in a row were washed out as soon as they were stuffed into the water inlet, and rolled down the embankment. Seeing this scene, Fat Lu was even more anxious, and shouted: "Take the reins of the horse, tie up the living people, and jump into the water to plug the gap!" ”

The reins of the horse were quickly sent on, and Lu Fatzi grabbed it and tied it to his waist, intending to jump into the water to plug the gap, the Wu soldiers next to him were both moved and panicked, and quickly rushed up to hold Lu Fatzi down, among which dozens of the strongest Wu cavalry quickly tied the reins to his waist, handed the other end to his companion to pull, and jumped into the water hand in hand, trying to withstand the impact of the water to plug the gap, and the rest of the Wu soldiers quickly carried the corpses of the Qing soldiers and stuffed them into the water mouth. And this time, because there were already Wu soldiers blocking the flow of water, the corpse group was finally not washed away again, but just floated in the water, and the Wu soldiers stuffed the corpse group one after another, and finally blocked most of the gap, and then Wu soldier hurriedly moved the soil and stones, and spent a lot of effort, and finally barely blocked a gap!

After sending an army to continue to strengthen the temporary fortifications, Lu Fatzi rushed to another gap more than 20 zhang away with the Wu army, but because of the delay in time, this gap has been swept to more than two zhang wide and nearly one zhang deep, and the Wu soldiers can't stop the water even if they dive, Lu Fatzi was very anxious, and had no choice but to shout: "Brothers, for the prince, for our main force!" Come here and be more men who are not afraid of death, tie the rope and jump down, no matter how much you jump, you have to plug the gap for me! sacrificed, Lao Tzu invited the prince, and asked the prince to give his family three times the pension! ”

The water flow is too big, like a white dragon under the light of the torch, surging and galloping comparable to a fierce horse, jumping into such a water flow is basically looking for death, but among the soldiers of the Wu army, hundreds of Yungui men still stood up, silently tied the reins of the horse, hooked their hands and yelled to jump into the water one by one, "Long live the prince!" ”

"Anti-Qing and Restoration of Sight!"

"Brothers, avenge me! Kill all the dogs! ”

"Daddy! Mother! The child is not filial! ”

"Hua'er, avenge your father!"

In the heroic shouts that made everyone present burst into tears, one team after another of the Wu soldiers jumped off the torrent with their hands hooked, and the two teams of Wu soldiers who started were almost washed away by the current at the moment of falling into the water, and the Wu soldiers on the shore could not be pulled, and several soldiers who refused to abandon their companions were also taken into the water and swept away, and the third team was washed away when they fell into the water, although they still failed to gain a foothold in the cold water, but gave the fourth team of Wu soldiers a chance to dive, and then the fifth team jumped down, and even the sixth team of horses and reins were used up. The seventh and eighth teams jumped down, hooked their hands in the cold and piercing water, and desperately stood firm, blocking the flood and demon current that was about to wipe out the main force of the Wu army with their flesh and blood.

"Do you say you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son. ”

Witnessing this tragic scene, the tearful Lu Fatzi couldn't help but read this Qin Feng with a crying voice, and the soldiers of the Wu army were also crying into tears, but they still jumped down the torrent with their arms hooked one after another, stepped on the first companions, and quickly stacked layer after layer, blocking the momentum of the torrent, and the remaining Wu soldiers wiped their tears while carrying the corpses and stones of the Qing soldiers, and threw them into the gap to block and resist. There were not enough corpses, there were no stones, Lu Fatzi gave an order, and the soldiers of the Wu army did not hesitate to kill their horses, twisted their clothes into ropes, tied the horse corpses together, and stuffed the horse corpses into the gap one by one to prevent the leakage from continuing to expand.

Finally, a group of Wu infantry arrived with tools, and saw that the Wu cavalry used their bodies to block the gap, Xu Hongren, the leader of the team, did not say a word, and immediately ordered the soldiers to jump off the gap to block the torrent, and quickly ordered the soldiers to load soil and pick stones, and rushed forward to fill the gap. At the same time, Gao Dejie had already rushed back with Xu Zhidu's head, seeing that his descendants had suffered so many casualties in order to rescue the gap, Gao Dejie cried on the spot, and quickly ordered his subordinates to move stones and corpses to plug the leakage, and the Wu army sailors on the other side had also heard the news and arrived, and under the order of Lu Fatzi, a warship was scuttled at the gap, and the shipwreck was blocked, which barely blocked the second gap and won the transfer and reaction time for the main army.

It is really the luck of the main force of the Wu army, two very key reasons saved the surname of the whole army of the main force of the Wu army, one is that it is now in the dry season in winter, and the water volume of the Yangtze River is relatively small, and the other is that the Qing army is not proficient enough in blasting, and does not understand the terrifying power of the Wu army's three good explosives. When the sky was completely bright, not only did the main force of the Wu army move to the absolutely safe heights, but the two gaps blown up by the Qing army were also filled, and the mouth was closed again, and the river water was no longer poured downward.

Having said that, in the early morning of the next day, when Wu Lao Han Zhan personally led the army to the Ten Thousand Causeway to inspect the situation, when he saw the Wu army's elite suffering heavy casualties in order to rescue the emergency, and after seeing the corpses of the Wu army soldiers who still maintained the posture of hooking their arms until death, Wu Lao Han's eyes were also red, and then his face began to turn blue again, staring at the remains of the sacrificed soldiers, and there was a pillar of incense for a long time without saying a word. The surrounding generals of the Wu army were also silent, and the atmosphere was almost suffocating.

After a long time, Wu Laohan took off the helmet on his head and bowed deeply to the remains of the Wu soldiers gathered together. After a long time, Wu Laohan straightened up and commanded in a hoarse voice: "Order, the soldiers who died last night to gag their mouths will all be committed!" ”

"Order!" Wu Junzhong will clasp their fists together and agree. Wu Lao Hanjian looked back at the hastily repaired breach of the embankment, with a gritted expression on his face, and almost wanted to order the embankment to be re-excavated, and the flooded Qing army was still surrounded in Jingzhou City. But at this moment, a herald hurriedly ran up the embankment and said in front of Wu Lao Han Jian: "Lord Qiqi, Jingzhou Mangou sent an envoy to ask for a meeting, saying that it was to explain the reason for the explosion of the embankment last night. ”

"The reason for the?" Wu Laohan smiled fiercely and shouted: "Charge up, Lao Tzu wants to hear what kind of fart the dog can have?" ”

The herald took the order to go, a moment later, the Qing army envoy was escorted to Wu Lao Han annihilation, as soon as they met, the Qing army envoy immediately knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, trembling and said: "The little envoy was ordered by the prince of Jian, knocking on the prince of Pingxi, the prince of Jian ordered the little envoy to kneel to the prince of Pingxi, last night's bombing of the embankment, has nothing to do with the military and people of Jingzhou, it is all the Yiling general soldier Xu Zhi is mad, acting without authorization, fortunately your army is full of emergency repairs, which saved the lives of the soldiers and civilians of Jingzhou." Prince Jian was grateful, and the special envoy came to give a gift to thank you, and informed your army, Prince Jian did not say that he would play the imperial court, and asked the Qing court to behead the whole family of Xu Zhidu who dug the embankment without authorization, and even the nine clans! ”

As he spoke, the Qing army envoy trembled and held up a gift box, and the generals of the Wu army were all full of anger, but Wu Lao Han Zhan had not yet spoken, and he didn't dare to speak, Wu Lao Han Zhan smiled faintly and said: "It's been a long time, it turns out that Xu Zhidu blew up the embankment without authorization last night?" ”

"That's true." The envoy of the Qing army kowtowed, and said with a flattering face: "Lord Jian, they really didn't know about this in advance, so after Xu Zhidu blew up the embankment last night, our Qing army did not take the opportunity to attack, just for fear that your army would misunderstand." ”

"Put your mother's eighteenth generation of stinky fart!" Wu Lao Han finally launched a rush, raised his leg and kicked the messenger to the ground, and yelled: "You should be a three-year-old child? I'm afraid that Lao Tzu misunderstood and didn't take the opportunity to attack, if you hadn't known that Xu Zhidu had blown up the embankment, you would have hid in the city and not come out? ”

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" The messenger was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed and screamed, "The slave knows nothing, he doesn't know anything!" ”

"Drag it down, cut it!" Wu Lao Han was also completely crazy, and shouted: "Send this head full of dogs, along with the gift of full dogs, back to Jingzhou City!" By the way, tell the full dogs in the city, the city is broken, the whole city is full of dogs, and no one will be spared! Kill all of them to this king, and not a single one will be spared! ”

"Kill all the dogs! Avenge the brethren! Lu Fatzi took the opportunity to raise his arms and yell, and all the generals of the Wu army echoed together, waving their arms and shouting in unison, "Kill all the dogs!" Avenge the brethren! ”

"Kill all the dogs! Avenge the brethren! Countless soldiers of the Wu army raised their weapons and roared with red eyes, "Kill all the dogs!" Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Kill all the dogs! Kill! The angry and neat roar converged into one, and the sound rushed into the sky, echoing endlessly on the surface of the Yangtze River, even the Qing army generals and soldiers hiding in Jingzhou City could hear it clearly. Hearing this roar, the Qing army couldn't help but have a thought, a frightened and desperate thought.
