Chapter 367: Flooding Jiangzhou
"Lord Tai Wei!" In the front hall of the Taiwei Mansion in Jiangzhou, Zhao Buzhi, a member of the Han army, said: "The Great Song Army's attack has been frustrated for several days, and now the attack is soft, and it has not launched an attack for several days, I am afraid that the day of retreat from the enemy is not far away!" ”
"Hao Shisan dared to fight with me in the field under the city, relying on nothing more than Yu Tonghe and Hu Dahai's two lackeys, now Yu Tonghe's army has been fighting day after day, with serious attrition, and Gong Lie has no strength to fight again, and Hu Dahai was shot by me with an arrow, even if he doesn't die, he will shed his skin, and the Song army will definitely not dare to fight in depth!" Zhang Bixian sat firmly on the Taishi chair and said with confidence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Then why don't we take advantage of the night to rob the camp again, completely repel them, and solve the enemy in Jiangzhou?" Joining the army, Zhao didn't know the way.
"Now, with my back to the rear base, Hankou has a steady stream of soldiers and horses along the river, and the Song army is supplied against the river, and its baggage is not as sufficient as our army, although the enemy's elite cavalry has suffered a great loss in combat strength, the strength of its two pear flower spear armies should not be underestimated, and the camp is robbed, I am afraid that it will be ambushed again. The Song army came from afar, seeking a quick victory, and the longer the time was lost, it would be beneficial to our Han army. The subordinates are now gathering soldiers and horses in the capital, and when the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty are ready, the Great Song Army has stopped the old soldiers under the fortified city, and we can completely annihilate the enemy army in one battle! Zhang Dingbian analyzed.
Although Zhang Dingbian was brave, he was quite jealous of Hao Ren, in order not to show his timidity, the more fierce the Song army attacked, the more fierce he attacked, and now the Song army could not advance, and he was afraid to go out of the camp to fight. And the soldiers and horses of Jiangzhou are indeed more than enough to defend and not enough to attack, and many counterattacks are aimed at fighting-for-tat with the Song army.
Suddenly, the sentry came to report that a group of soldiers and horses of the Song army had crossed Jiangzhou and were interspersed with Ruizhou.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! There are heavy troops in Ruizhou, the enemy can't conquer it, and the supply line in Jiangzhou can't be cut off. ”
Ruizhou is a barrier to lock and control the Yangtze River and consolidate the rear of Jiangzhou, and the Han also has heavy troops there, Zhang Dingbian is expected to attack and harass a small force, and he cannot conquer Ruizhou, but it is a suspicious army used by Hao Ren to lead Jiangzhou City to divide his troops.
Another day, Zhang Dingbian got news again that the Song army was dozens of miles outside the city, digging ditches, preparing to besiege the city, and let Zhang Dingbian go out of the city to attack.
After Zhang Ding looked at it, he concluded: "It's okay! Anyway! The enemy is digging a trench on the south side to besiege the city, but it is in the opposite direction, and my supply is in the Yangtze River! ”
Zhang Dingbian has heard that Hao Ren is cunning, and the Song army is digging dozens of miles away, can it still dig under the city? It was nothing more than trying to lure him out of the city, and then the Song army sent a large army to intercept him, so that he could not return to the city.
Another day, Zhang Dingbian got the news that the Qingfeng army had moved to the camp and moved the camp into the mountain.
After Zhang Dingbian checked the terrain, he laughed and said: "In order to escape the scorching heat, the Song army actually camped on the densely forested mountains, which is the way to die!" When the west wind rises, our army will set fire to the wind, and he will burn the company camp in Poyang Lake, and the thirteen thieves can be broken! ”
"Captain, a great omen!" In the early morning of the next day when Hao Ren moved to the camp, Zhao Buzhi, who joined the army, came to report in a panic: "At this time, it is the rainy season, and the river should have risen sharply, but the Xunyang River was found to have been cut off for a long time this morning. ”
The ancients often understood some unexplained natural phenomena as warnings from the heavens, whether they were fierce or auspicious, what comets were in chaos, and the heavenly dogs ate the sun and clouds.
Zhang Dingbian planned to wait for the day when the west wind rose, and went to burn the camp built by the Great Song Army on the mountain, thinking that he had won the battle, and suddenly got the 'omen of great evil', he was unwilling in his heart, and refused to believe it, so he hurriedly comforted the army:
"The river does not flow, it is not for the warning of heaven, I am afraid that someone is cutting off the river......"
Zhang Dingbian subconsciously understood that someone had blocked the Xunyang River, and wanted to explain that this was not the meaning of God, but he immediately concentrated the information he had obtained in recent days and came to a conclusion that shocked him.
The Song army, which was not to attack Ruizhou, but to cut off the river and dig ditches, was not to besiege the city, but to drain the river.
Zhang Dingbian was shocked: "It's not good, the enemy wants to lead the Xunyang River to flood the city, and order all the armies, and Mashan to move to a high place!" ”
But where is the time?
Jiangzhou City only heard a loud sound of 'boom', the flood in the sky, monstrous, slammed on the city wall, a city wall, shaken for it, fortunately, Jiangzhou city defense is strong, although the flood is fierce, but did not collapse the city wall at once.
The rushing flood, when it meets the obstruction of the city wall, is divided into two wings, along the city wall, scouring through, the most is the two corners of the city, the turbulent flood, the lime in the gap of the city wall, all washed away, the flood along the city gate, the wall crack, quickly infiltrated into the city.
"Hurry up and organize the soldiers and civilians, build a dam under the city wall, and be sure to stop the flood from entering the city!" Zhang Dingbian almost jumped up from the bed, and rushed out of the Taiwei Mansion with his sword.
Zhang Dingbian organized the soldiers and civilians, and was busy from morning to afternoon, and finally organized the infiltration of the flood into the city.
The water outside the city is vast, and it comes and goes quickly, while in the city of Jiangzhou, the water depth of the flat land is more than two meters, and the water that enters the city begins to penetrate into the city along the gap that comes in. The entire Jiangzhou city is already a Ze country, there is no flat land that is not watery, and the soldiers and civilians of Jiangzhou all climbed to the head of the house city to avoid the flood.
Because Jiangzhou City was not washed away, the flood gradually infiltrated along the city wall and city gates, although Jiangzhou City entered the water two meters deep, but did not cause major casualties, even the old and weak women and children, there was enough time to take refuge in high places.
Outside the city of Jiangzhou, a trumpet sounded, and the Great Song Army took the various warships of the Jiangfang Army and the rafts set up in the mountains, and besieged them all over the sky.
Hao Ren stood on a raft, the five-color command flag fluttering high behind him, he looked at the country in front of him, his expression was serious, and he said coldly: "The time for a decisive battle has come, send orders to all armies, and the whole army will attack!" ”
The war drums of the Great Song Army were excited, the horns were whimpering, and the flags of various colors echoed each other from afar, and the entire Jiangzhou City was drowned out by the shouts and killings of the Great Song Army.
"Fire! Don't let Song Jun lean over! Zhang Dingbian pulled out his waist knife and shouted loudly.
"Boom!" A cannonball of the Great Song Army came from outside the city, the city wall of Jiangzhou City has been infiltrated by the flood back and forth, becoming like halva, where the cannonball falls, half of the city wall, shaking and collapsing, the city head is dense and the Han soldiers who avoid the water fall into the water screaming miserably.
"Lord Taiwei, the black medicine warehouse has entered the water, the black medicine has been washed into sludge, and the artillery can no longer be fired!"
"Huh?" Zhang Dingbian exclaimed, and pulled out his waist knife with a 'brush': "Order all the armies, dispatch all the ships in the city, if there are no ships, use the door panel, if there is no door panel, use a wooden basin, follow this captain, and fight to the end!" (To be continued.) )
