Now that the strategy of water attack has been decided, the next step is to make relevant preparations.

Song Qi ordered Shufu to be responsible for collecting 300 ships at Tiema Pass, and ordered Diandian to be responsible for urging the soldiers to build 1,000 bamboo rafts. This is the first thing that must be done, otherwise once the water is released, when the other party is drowned into fish and shrimp, he will also become fish and shrimp in this regard. In that case, it would not be a flood, but a flood.

Yu Man didn't know what Song Qi meant, so he hurriedly coughed dryly and asked, "General Song, what is your intention in asking them to prepare a boat and bamboo raft?" Do you want to sail on land? ”

Shu Fu and Diandian took the arrow from Song Qi and were about to leave, when they heard Yu Man's question, they hurriedly stopped and listened to Song Qi's answer. The two of them were also very confused, but they could only do what Song Qi asked them to do, and they didn't dare to ask more.

Seeing Yu Man's question, Song Qi hurriedly explained with a smile: "There are Qiuer machines guarding there in Liuyun County, like iron buckets, and our army can't cross it at all. After research and planning with General Mingyu, we decided to use the method of water attack to crack the rock-throwing cart of the Qiuer machine and flood Liuyun County. Maybe you can capture Chull alive when the time comes. ”

Shu Fu and Diandian listened and knew that the boat and bamboo raft were preparing for the water attack, and the two were very happy, so they went down with the arrow.

"General Song, it's a very good way to break the stone-throwing cart with water." Yu Man first praised Song Qi and Mingyu, and then said worriedly, "But it's the dry season in the middle of winter, and there is so much water there?" ”

"What? No water? Song Qi said in disbelief, "Isn't there water in the river?" ”

Yu Man shook his head and said in a regretful tone: "There is water in the river, but now the water level is very low, even if you put all the water in the river in Liuyun County, I am afraid it will not be able to flood three feet deep." ”

Song Qi turned his head to look at Mingyu in some surprise. Mingyu smiled embarrassedly: "Master Yu is right. It's dry season. After the winter, it did not rain for more than a month, and the river dried up. I didn't think of that at first. ”

Song Qi remembered that since it rained twice on the outskirts of Do'an Province, it had not rained for more than a month now. Still, he didn't believe the river had dried up. In his hometown, the river is full of water all year round, both in winter and summer.

Song Qi pondered for a long time, suddenly patted the handrail, got up and said, "Let's go to the river and have a look." ”

"Then you go, I won't go." Fu Haowei leaned back on the chair and seemed to have no weight. After he lost the bet, he was very depressed and looked like he was in a state of collapse.

Song Qi nodded in agreement. Anyway, it was useless for Fu Haowei to go.

"Do you want me to go?" Yin Tie got up and asked Song Qi.

"No, you don't." Song Qi shook his head and said.

Yu Man couldn't say that he couldn't go, because the reason why Song Qi wanted to see the river was because of his sentence "It's the dry season in the middle of winter".

In the end, Song Qiming Yuhua Mengmao Yongyu took a soldier who was familiar with the terrain of Liuhe, quietly walked out of the south gate of Tiema Pass, and galloped towards Liuhe.

Liuhe is a river between Tiemaguan and Liuyun County, less than fifteen miles away from Liuyun County. A stone arch bridge was erected at the narrowest point. The soldiers and horses who entered and exited Liuyun County all came and went from this stone arch bridge.

Song Qi passed the bridge more than once. He marched from the river when he attacked Liuyun County more than ten days ago, and he also passed through the river the last time he went to Do'an Mansion.

At the end of the bridge there was a small beacon tower on which dozens of defenders were stationed. If the army comes, it will be possible to finish off the defenders in a matter of minutes. But as long as Song Qi only had five people, it would be difficult to deal with these defenders, and the purpose of their coming was not to fight, but to watch the river.

In order not to alarm the defenders, Song Qi and the others followed the soldier to make a detour for several miles, and quietly approached the river from three miles upstream of the bridge. Fortunately, this soldier is familiar with the terrain of the river and knows how to walk. If it were someone else, I am afraid that it would be difficult to reach the river without alarming the defenders.

Skirting a small hill and crossing a few piles of rocks, a large river came into view of several people.

"General Song, the front is Liuhe!" The soldier said, pointing to the front.

Several people stopped their horses, turned over and dismounted on the embankment. Hua Meng and Mao Yong turned to one end and took on the task of vigilance.

Song Qi and Mingyu raised their eyes and looked forward. The widest section of the river that can be seen in front of you is almost a mile wide, and most of the river sections are about half a mile wide.

This is much wider than Song Qi imagined. Song Qi's imagination was formed based on the width of the bridge. He now realized that the bridge must have been built at the narrowest part of the river.

Although the river is wide, the water is shallow, and some sections of the river almost expose sandbars, and even stones in the riverbed are exposed. The vast channel of the river is less than a hundred paces wide, and it winds and stretches in the middle of the channel, like a small rubber tube in a large rubber tube, and the middle layer is completely air.

"General Song, you see what you said is good. With such a little water in the river, it can only be used to wash the streets of Liuyun County! Yu Man pointed to the shallow river with some pride.

Song Qi frowned, squinted at Yu Man, and did not speak. In his heart, he hoped that Yu Man's words were wrong, so that he could immediately cast the method of water attack.

Several people silently walked down the embankment and onto a sandbar.

Although Song Qi was a little disappointed, he did not despair. This is almost a hanging river, on both sides but the embankment is as high as a hill. At this time, they are like they are in the middle of a basin, and the embankments on both sides are like basin edges. This basin is not placed on the ground, but rests on the roof.

Song Qi raised his eyes and looked at the high river embankment, contemplating and thinking.

If you tip the basin over, the water in the basin will pour down the roof without leaving a drop.

In other words, if the river is blocked at the place where the bridge is built, and then the opposite section of the embankment is broken, then the water in the river will flow down the gap and leave no drop to Liuyun County.

Besides, rivers are not like lakes. The water of the lake is finite, but the water of the river is infinite. Because the river still has an upstream, and the upstream of the upstream, there are countless branch branches. The river will not run dry unless all the water upstream of it is drained, and then all the water of its branches will be drained.

However, the water level of the river is not high, and it is difficult to achieve the effect of the vast soup, the wanton ocean, and the destruction of the withering and decaying.

If the river is waterproofed under the existing water level, it is estimated that Liuyun County will be flooded three or four feet deep within seven or eight days.

But in these seven or eight days, could it be that Chuerji let you release the water and will not take countermeasures?

Thinking of this, Song Qi's heart became a little unsteady.

"If only it could rain heavily!" Mingyu raised her beautiful eyes, looked intently at the other side, and muttered to herself.

Yu Manman stroked the beard on his chin and sighed regretfully: "It's the dry season now, and it's really difficult to make it rain!" ”

Suddenly, from the embankment came the sound of people shouting and neighing... (To be continued.) )
