(PS: The 8,000-word chapter is updated, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward!) ）

One foot in the Han Dynasty is equivalent to 23.1 centimeters in modern times, six feet is one step, and 300 steps are one mile, which is equivalent to 415.8 meters in modern times, and the length of the trench that Deputy Director Tao is preparing to dig is more than 40 miles, which is equivalent to more than 16,632 meters in modern times.

Ten feet is zhang, the length and width are two zhang, the length is multiplied by the width and then the height, the earthwork of forty miles is about 355,000 square meters, except for the trench earthwork of four feet wide and half a zhang deep dug before the Xuzhou army, about 17,750 square meters, which means that the Xuzhou army also has to dig more than 337,250 earthworks in order to meet the requirements put forward by Deputy Director Tao, with a man-made river that is more than 40 miles long and two zhang wide and deep, completely trapped the remnants of Yuan Tan's army in Yecheng.

The amount of work is very huge, although the Xuzhou army can dispatch more than 70,000 troops, plus about 20,000 people, to dig this huge trench together, it is definitely not an easy task to complete this task in five hours and ten hours. If Yuan Tanjun decisively dispatched troops, and the three teams of Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, who were responsible for the blocking mission, could not resolutely drive the enemy back to the city, once the enemy rushed to the construction site to interfere with the destruction, then the possibility of completing the project would be even smaller.

The amount of work is large, the time is short and urgent, and Yuan Tanjun still has about 30,000 troops in Yecheng, and the possibility of sending troops to destroy it is very great, so even the decision-making level of Xuzhou, who has been preparing for this project for several months, is not sure that it will be able to complete this project. Only Deputy Director Tao himself is full of confidence in this project, because Deputy Director Tao believes that if the historical Boss Cao can do this, then he should be able to do this! Otherwise, he will not be able to surpass Boss Cao's historical achievements, dominate the world within a generation, and end the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty!

An hour and a half passed quickly, and at the end of the day, the main force of more than 90,000 Xuzhou troops was dispatched, and more than 20,000 people were also mobilized. Under the cover of night, they came to the siege fortifications that had been built before. Among them, the most elite 15,000 soldiers crossed the siege fortifications and sneaked to the east and west of Yecheng to line up outside the three gates of the east and west of Yecheng. The bow is wound and the knife is unsheathed. Always be ready to block Yuan Tanjun's out-of-town procession.

Meanwhile. Under the personal leadership of Deputy Director Tao, more than 70,000 Xuzhou soldiers and 20,000 people also began the excavation work in sections and pieces. In the case of lighting as little as possible and relying only on the dim light, from Deputy Director Tao to ordinary soldiers, they all struggled to wave hoes to dig up the soil, and the civilian officials of the Xuzhou Army led by Jia Lao Poison and Liu Ye and Xun Chen also went into battle, or participated in carrying soil and moving stones, or led wounded soldiers to distribute wine and dry food to the trench soldiers, encouraging the soldiers and men to dig with all their might.

Even Yang Changshi, who was notoriously lazy, led Li Lang and Wang Wu to join the work of digging the trench this time, and while feeding the wine to the soldiers' mouths with his own hands, he encouraged: "Come on, work hard, dig this trench, we will definitely be able to enter Yecheng to raid our homes, Yecheng is full of rich people, and if you want to get rich, you have to work hard!" ”

At first warm, the night wind of spring is still painful, and the water in the trench is even colder, but many Xuzhou soldiers and ordinary people are shirtless, stepping on the knee-deep water, sweating like rain to dig out pieces of sticky and heavy soil, carrying baskets of heavy soil to the rear, rough hoes come and go, carrying baskets of people coming and going like ants, no one complains, let alone slacking off, because beside them, not only their direct bosses Xuzhou grassroots generals, There are also important civil and military ministers in Xuzhou who are usually not qualified to talk directly, all of them are accompanying them to dig hard, and the generals and officers who take the lead are not complaining about being tired and lazy and lazy, and ordinary soldiers and ordinary people will naturally not complain about being tired.

Another point, at the beginning of the excavation, all levels of Xuzhou civil and military have been passed down level by level, so that all the soldiers and the people know one thing, as long as this trench can be dug as scheduled, completely trapped the head of the Yuan Tan army in Yecheng, then the Xuzhou soldiers can return to their hometown at least a year in advance, reunite with their parents, wives and children, and the people can also enjoy peace at least one year in advance, and get a one-year tax exemption from Deputy Director Tao one year in advance, and this life will be less subject to the Yuan family brothers' expropriation and tyranny for a year. Therefore, the hardest and most desperate people digging trenches are all the local people in Jizhou.

The sound of the hoe colliding with the soil, and the Xuzhou soldiers deliberately suppressed the call sign command, like the buzz in the spring night, buzzing, buzzing, has been vibrating on the siege site, more than two miles away in Yecheng City, but there are few people, so quiet that even the footsteps of the patrol can be heard clearly, the Yuan soldiers on duty standing guard are napping by the arrow stacks, and occasionally a few soldiers look down, but also by the light of the torches in the Jue Cave, observe whether there are Xuzhou soldiers climbing up to the city by night, see the situation is the same, He quickly stretched out his head outside the city wall and retracted it, and continued to doze off against the arrow stack.

Can't blame Yuan Tanjun soldiers for not being vigilant enough, it is really the city of Yecheng is too strong, as the most important city north of the Yellow River in this era, Yecheng has an average of more than five zhang of solid city walls, the city bricks are specially fired money pattern bricks each weigh eighteen catties, the texture is fine, the hardness is comparable to bluestone, and the glutinous rice juice is watered and bonded, the brick seam is so tight that even the blade can not be inserted, the rammed earth wrapped in the city bricks is also old and condensed into stone, even if it is the giant stone projectile thrown by the Xiangyang cannon, the first weapon of the Xuzhou army to attack the city, Smashed to the wall is just leaving only a gray mark, the moat is three zhang wide and three zhang deep is difficult to fill, between the moat and the city wall, there are newly built sheep and horse walls and antlers to resist horses, there are no ten days and half a month and thousands of casualties, the Xuzhou army does not want to touch the city wall of Yecheng!

With such a strong city fortification and enough troops to defend the city, Yuan Tanjun is naturally not afraid of the Xuzhou army launching a strong attack from the front, and even not afraid of the Xuzhou army sneaking up to the city. Therefore, not to mention that ordinary soldiers are lazy and napping, even the guards of the gates are all hiding in the city tower with charcoal fire, and only patrol the defense of the city wall every other hour, beating and scolding a few soldiers who are lazy to sleep.

Of course, there are also some flaws, and some Yuan Tan soldiers noticed that the number of torches, lanterns and bonfires next to the siege fortifications of the Xuzhou army was much more than at night, but considering that the main force of Xuzhou returned from Handan to the Yecheng battlefield today, it was normal for the Xuzhou sentries next to the siege fortifications to be more, so they mostly ignored it, and only a few soldiers reported to their superiors. As a result, there was a more responsible grassroots general of Yuan Tanjun. When the news was reported to Ma Yan, the veteran of Jizhou who was guarding the city wall tonight, Ma Yan only had a little calculation and came up with the answer, "It's okay, it must be that the main force of the pottery thieves has just returned to Yecheng." The foothold is not stable. In order to prevent our army from sneaking out of the city. Only then did the sentry post be dispatched, so there was no need to make a fuss. ”

In this way, the minutes and seconds gradually passed. The siege fortifications are also gradually deepening and widening inch by inch, and the three-mile distance deliberately set aside between the trench and Zhangshui is also gradually shortening little by little, and the soldiers of the Yuan army on the city wall are still yawning, dozing off, and the Xuzhou soldiers in the trench are still sweating like rain, racing against time to dig with all their might.

Of course, Deputy Director Tao could not have the same luck as Boss Cao, and it was not until the siege ditch was completely completed and the siege began to flood the city that it was discovered by the defenders - when the bang rang at the beginning of the third watch, Deputy Director Tao's bad luck began to exert its power, and a cold north wind blew, which not only lowered the temperature by a few points, but also blew out some of the lights outside the east gate of Yecheng, so that a section of the city wall outside the east gate of Yecheng was in a dark state.

Jue Cave is a kind of fortification that has never appeared in film and television dramas, its role is to place lamps or place torches, illuminate the root of the city wall while not affecting the sight of the defenders of the city, at night is quite important to the city defenders, just responsible for the defense of the east gate of Yecheng Yuan Army General Zhang Nan patrolled here again, saw the wind to destroy Jue Cave, for safety reasons, Zhang Nan ordered a soldier to go down with a hanging basket, and re-ignited the Jue Cave that was blown out by the wind, as a result, something happened.

Hanging Lan dragged a Yuan soldier down the city, and the Jue Cave was quickly re-ignited, but when the Yuan soldier went down to the city, because he was in danger and raised his vigilance, he vaguely heard the sound of dense hoes coming from more than two miles away, and it happened that the soldier was more responsible, so he shouted at the city: "General Zhang, there seems to be a sound in the distance, please pay attention to the general." ”

"Voices in the distance?" Zhang Nan was also more responsible, first ordered the soldiers around him to be quiet, and then listened carefully, and he also heard some strange sounds, very subtle strange sounds, but they were too far away to tell what the sound was. Discovering this, Zhang Nan sent a divine order to the soldiers below, "I'll put down the drawbridge a little, you go to a distance and listen carefully to what the sound is, and come back to report me if there is anything abnormal." ”

The responsible Yuan soldier sang a promise, and then the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and it was stopped at a height of half a person from the ground, so that the Yuan soldier jumped off the suspension bridge and slowly touched the Xuzhou military construction site to check it out. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun's team, which was ambushed more than a hundred steps away from the east gate of Yecheng, raised their hearts to their throats, and Zhao Yun was even more sweaty on his forehead, and he didn't know whether he should give the order to shoot the Yuan soldier with arrows.

"General Zhao, what should I do? Do you want to shoot arrows? Left and right asked.

Zhao Yun gritted his white teeth and calculated for a while, and immediately made up his mind, first waved his hand and ordered the soldier to put down his bow and arrows, and then personally met the Yuan soldier with his waist, hiding on the way he must go east, waiting for him to approach, and when the Yuan soldier slowly walked to Zhao Yun's side, Zhao Yun, who was ambushed in the dark, suddenly burst out like a cheetah, with one hand, his left hand covered the mouth of the Yuan soldier, and his right hand twisted the neck of the Yuan soldier, with a soft click, Shengsheng broke the neck of the Yuan soldier, killing him on the spot, and he didn't have time to let out an exclamation until he died.

If it is replaced by usual, such ordinary soldiers are one or two hundred people, Zhao Yun is also sure that he will single-handedly kill them to the point of crying wolves, holding their heads and running around, killing a Yuan soldier is easier than killing a chicken, but this time is different, as long as the action is slightly worse, for example, the speed is slightly full, or the left hand does not cover the mouth of the Yuan soldier in the dark, so that the Yuan soldier screams and alarms, then the trenching operation of the Xuzhou army is very likely to be wasted! At that time, even if Deputy Director Tao forgives Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun will not forgive himself! So it was easy to kill this Yuan soldier. But after really breaking the neck of this Yuan soldier, Zhao Yun, who has always been known for his steadiness, still sat on the ground, sweating all over his body, cold sweat soaked his underwear, and shouted in his heart, "Danger!" ”

Of course, Zhao Yun did this, but he only delayed the time for a while, and he never saw this soldier return, and Zhang Nan and Yuan's army on the city wall would definitely be suspicious. Ninety percent of them are likely to send soldiers down the wall to check on the situation. Therefore, Zhao Yun is now willing to exchange his ten-year life for the defenders of the city to forget about this matter, or mistakenly think that this Yuan soldier has become a deserter and will not pursue it anymore.

It's a pity that Deputy Director Tao's bad luck is an auspicious existence that even Yang Changshi can reveal. So of course, Zhao Yun's wish cannot be achieved. After waiting for a long time at the city wall. Because he never saw the Yuan army soldier report, Zhang Nan, who was waiting for the news on the city wall, was really suspicious and said, "Why haven't you come back yet?" Did you take the opportunity to become a deserter? Two more people. Let's see what's going on. ”

So, two more Yuan soldiers were put down on the city wall by the hanging basket, and crossed the half-released suspension bridge to the outside of the city, Zhao Yun had no choice but to arrange two soldiers to help him do it, and told him to do it together, and definitely not give the two Yuan soldiers the opportunity to make a sound, and delay time as much as possible!

Soon, the two Yuan soldiers approached sneakily one after the other, Zhao Yun made a gesture, let the two helpers be responsible for the enemy in front, and he was responsible for the enemy behind, and then waved his hand, and rushed up at the same time, as a result, Zhao Yun's two helpers completed the task very well, one rushed up from behind to cover the enemy's mouth, and the other stabbed the enemy in the heart from the front, but when Zhao Yun was dealing with the second enemy, because he happened to step on a round stone under his feet, the soles of his feet slipped slightly and his left hand did not cover the alignment- It was on the chin of the Yuan soldier.

"Ahh Although Zhao Yun's right hand quickly broke the neck of the Yuan soldier, it was still a step too late, and the Yuan soldier still let out an exclamation when he was dying.

"What's wrong?!" The scream in the dark night was particularly clear, and Zhang Nan heard it clearly on the city wall, so he immediately shouted and asked, "What's wrong?" Reply! Answer now! ”

In order to do everything possible to gain time, Zhao Yun decisively ordered the army not to make a sound, and let Zhang Nan waste time by himself. And Zhang Nan is also a general brought by Yuan Xi from Youzhou, and his reaction and luck are extremely fast, and he immediately shouted: "Point the rocket, let the rocket out!" ”

Dozens of rockets were quickly shot, and although they did not hit the Xuzhou soldiers, they also illuminated some positions more than a hundred steps away, but Zhao Yun was not stupid, and had already ordered the soldiers to put their guns on the ground and not let the fire shine on the figure of the army. However, the more this happened, the more Zhang Nan on the city wall became more and more suspicious, and immediately ordered: "Go to ten people, light more torches and go over to check the situation!" ”

The hanging baskets were put down one after another, and the ten Yuan soldiers each carried two torches, in groups of five, and slowly came over to reconnoiter back to back, the cold sweat on Zhao Yun's forehead became more and more dripping, and at the critical moment, he had an idea, and simply jumped up and shouted, "Beat the drums, attack the city!" ”

"Knock knock!" The ten-sided curved war drums sounded at the same time, and five thousand Xuzhou soldiers shouted up, rushing to the east gate of Yecheng from the darkness, frightening the ten Yuan soldiers who were killing pigs and screaming, scrambling to throw down the torches and flee backwards, jumping directly into the moat that was still frozen, swimming to the other side of the moat to escape, Zhang Nan's team on the city wall was also shocked, and quickly re-twisted the suspension bridge, and at the same time desperately rang the alarm gong!

"Lu Kuang! General Lu Kuang! Zhao Yun, who had obviously been damaged, rushed to the edge of the moat and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!" Open the gates! ”

"The team of pottery thieves is here to steal the city? Lu Kuang is an internal response?! Zhang Nan's face turned white, and he hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! Hit the gong! Hit the gong! ”

Random arrows were fired, Zhao Yun was forced to lead the army to retreat, but the city wall of Yecheng was chaotic, the three gates of the east and west were full of torches at the same time, the soldiers in the Tibetan army building rushed to the city wall, hurriedly lit countless torches, drew bows and arrows to the outside of the city, including the north gate protected by Zhangshui, the same is true for the garrison inside Yecheng, and urgently assembled to prepare for battle, Yuan Tan Gongzi and Mr. Guo Tu and others also hurriedly got up from the belly of the beauty, dressed and rushed to the east gate to check the situation - but in this case, Of course, Zhang Nan didn't dare to risk opening the door and going out of the city.

On the side of the Xuzhou Army, Zhao Yun also sent a herald to report the situation to Deputy Director Tao. After learning that Zhao Yun simply pretended to attack the city after revealing his traces, Deputy Director Tao pretended to smile calmly and said, "Zilong was also taken badly, go and tell Zilong that he is allowed to act cheaply, and he doesn't have to report me everything." ”

After sending away the soldiers sent by Zhao Yun, Deputy Director Tao, who was already covered in mud and soil, turned around and finally ordered: "Pass the order, let the soldiers who take turns to rest light the torches, insert them on the ground and line up, pretending to cover the theft of the city by our army." Intensify the excavation. We're running out of time. Oh, by the way, let Xu Chu and Wei Yan also light the torches, beat the drums and shout. Pretend to be a sneak attack on the enemy's castle. Let the enemy not dare to go out of the city! ”

Command delivery. The Xuzhou soldiers, who took turns to rest, immediately lit a large number of torches, planted them in the ground and pretended to be ready to attack the city, and at the same time intensified their efforts to dig trenches and race against time. There are also Xu Chu's team at the south gate and Wei Yan's team at the west gate, which also lit torches one after another, beating drums and shouting, pretending to be about to sneak attack Yecheng, and at this time, the time is only three watches and three minutes!

When the fourth arrived, Yuan Tan Gongzi, Guo Tu and others rushed to the East Gate City, and when they saw the Xuzhou military torches all over the mountains outside the East Gate, Yuan Tan Gongzi's face turned white, and he asked repeatedly: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? How can there be so many enemies? ”

"Lord, it was the Xuzhou thief army who was preparing to steal the city and was detected by our army." Zhang Nan hurriedly played: "The last general heard clearly just now that the rebel general Zhao Yun was shouting outside the city that Lu Kuang would open the city. ”

"Bold Lu Kuang, dare to betray me!" Yuan Tan Gongzi was furious, and immediately shouted: "Go and bring Lu Kuang immediately!" Besides, strictly guard the four gates, and those who approach the city gate without my order will be beheaded immediately! ”

It took some time for the military law team sent by Yuan Tan Gongzi to find Lu Kuang, because the enemy situation was also found outside the south gate of the main battlefield, so after the experienced general Lu Kuang heard the alarm, he rushed to the south gate city to check the situation as soon as possible, and saw that the enemy did not rush into the city gate, Lu Kuang just breathed a sigh of relief, Yuan Tan Gongzi's military law team arrived, showed the token and pulled down Lu Kuang and left, Lu Kuang shouted loudly, but the military law team did not listen at all.

Of course, poor General Lu Kuang was wronged, and there was also a testimony to prove that he was still sleeping in the room at the time of the incident, and he did not do anything to prepare to steal the city gate to receive the enemy into the city, but after taking a lot of time to figure out the ins and outs of the matter, Lu Kuang also suddenly became furious, and scolded Zhao Yun outside the city, "Zhao Yun is a husband!" Kill my second brother, and even dare to frame me, I swear to kill you! I swear to kill you! ”

"What's crazy about the Xuzhou thief army? Why come to the outside of the city to line up? Why did you frame Lu Kuang? Yuan Tan Gongzi was confused - at this time, the time was just over the first moment of the fourth watch.

"Lord, there must be a mole!" Mr. Guo Tu said confidently: "The pottery thief deliberately shot a book, pretending to be going to negotiate peace with our army, deceived our army to take it lightly, and then used the traitor he bought to open the city gate and take the opportunity to steal the city, but his actions fell short, so Zhao Yun thief simply framed General Lu and took the opportunity to cover the real traitor of the pottery thief!" In His Majesty's opinion, the lord should strictly investigate the person who tried to approach the city gate tonight and find out this traitor! ”

"Reasonable!" Yuan Tan Gongzi nodded vigorously, and quickly ordered: "Quick, immediately summon the city gate officials of the east, west, and south gates here, I will personally interrogate those people who are trying to get close to the city gate tonight!" ”

The herald was ordered to summon the officials of the Sanmen City Gate again, and General Lu Kuang, who had finally cleared his suspicions, was furious and asked Yuan Tan Gongzi for an order: "My lord, the last general asks for an order to lead an army of 3,000 out of the city to fight to the death with Zhao Yunpifu!" A new hatred and an old hatred! ”

"No way!" Yuan Tan Gongzi categorically refused, and said: "The enemy is dark and I am clear, and the pottery thief soldiers and horses are still assembled three miles away, open the city gate at this time, if the pottery thief takes the opportunity to attack the city, our army will have a big event!" Lu Kuang hated and retreated, and Mr. Guo Tu praised the lord for being wise, calm, and steady.

At half a time of the fourth watch, three city gate officials rushed to the east gate of the city, and reported to Yuan Tan Gongzi that no one tried to approach the city gate tonight, Yuan Tan Gongzi was puzzled, and Mr. Guo Tu, who had already roughly understood what had happened, said: "My lord, the last general just asked about the situation, our army found that the situation was not right at the beginning of the third watch, if the picture is not bad, the pottery thief's inner should probably have agreed to do it in the third and a half watches, but our soldiers were careful and cautious, and the pottery thief soldiers and horses outside the city were exposed in advance, so the inner should not dare to move, It is also normal for the city gate officials not to know. ”

"That's right!" Yuan Tan Gongzi nodded, frowned again and said: "It's troublesome, the pottery thief's guilt should not be exposed, won't we be able to live day and night in the future?" ”

At this time, Gao Gan hurried to the east gate of Yecheng from the direction of the south gate. Xiang Tan Gongzi said: "Lord, the situation is not right, when the last general just heard the alarm, he first went to the west gate of Yecheng, and found that although the pottery thief's soldiers and horses were assembled three miles away, but in the pottery thief's siege fortifications, there was a row of torches from the west city to the east gate, surrounding Yecheng, there was something suspicious, I hope the lord will investigate it carefully." ”

Yuan Tan Gongzi looked up. I saw that there was indeed a group of torches. It surrounded Yecheng in an arc and disappeared to the end of the field of vision, and the location was indeed in the weak fortifications built before the Xuzhou army, Yuan Tan Gongzi couldn't help but be surprised. Said: "What is the pottery thief lighting so many torches for?" What's the use? ”

"The pottery thief is working overnight. Fortifications of the siege? Simbi, who rarely spoke, questioned.

"Huh. Let him fortify it, forty miles long siege fortifications, I want to see how he can fortify there. Yuan Tan Gongzi snorted coldly.

"My lord. Troops should be sent to rush and see what the pottery thief is up to. Gao Gan suggested.

"No way!" Yuan Tan refused again, and said: "The enemy situation is unknown, you must not open the city at this time, and Zhao Yun outside the city is not so easy to deal with, you will only be sent to death in vain if you go out of the city!" ”

Gao Gan persuaded again, Yuan Tan still didn't listen, and Mr. Guo Tu also said that he wanted to prevent the internal should take the opportunity to make trouble, so Yuan Tan Gongzi decisively ordered, saying that those who left the city without permission would be beheaded! Gao Gan had no choice but to retreat, at this time, the time was already four and three minutes!

So, just like this, the confrontation between the city and the city, the Xuzhou army did not retreat, and the Yuan Tan army did not dare to go out of the city, and the time continued to pass minute by minute, and soon it was the time of the fifth watch, and the Xuzhou army had already obtained four hours of excavation time! Yuan Tan Gongzi was worried about the city wall, and Deputy Director Tao, who had only taken a turn to rest, rejected the suggestion of his subordinates to take a turn to rest, and continued to personally lead the soldiers to dig trenches, his face was covered with mud, and the whole person looked as if he had just been fished out of the mud.

Because the Xuzhou army did not retreat, Yuan Tan Gongzi did not dare to leave the battlefield of the city wall, but listened to the advice of Guo Tu and Lu Kuang, entered the city tower to avoid the wind and cold, and took a nap with charcoal fire, most of the Yuan army also retreated into the city tower, only a few people such as Gao Gan and Xin Bi did not enter the city tower, and still looked into the distance on the city wall, and felt that it was not good, "If the pottery thief team is here to steal the city, then after exposing their whereabouts, it is time to retreat?" Why haven't you returned it until now? What exactly is the reason? ”

After the first moment of Yin, the section of the trench led by Deputy Director Tao was finally dug up, and Deputy Director Tao, who was almost tired and paralyzed, was also put on the trench by Ma Zhong and other guards, and when the ditch was raised to the ground, Deputy Director Tao screamed miserably, and urgently called for the torch to approach, and then put his hands in front of the torch, Deputy Director Tao smiled bitterly and saw that his pampered white and tender hands were already full of blood blisters, "It's troublesome, at least seven or eight days can't touch the beauty." ”

On the city wall at almost the same time, Xin Bi finally remembered a big event, hurriedly grabbed Gao Gan, and asked nervously: "Gao Thorn Shi, you came from the West Gate, the upstream of Zhangshui, and the vicinity of the siege fortifications of the pottery thieves, is there a torch?" ”

"This ......." Gao Gan recalled for a moment and said, "It seems to be there, and it seems to be not, I can't remember it clearly." ”

"It's a big deal, so be sure to remember! We don't have time to go to the scene to observe the situation! Simbi yelled.

Gao Gan was stunned, recalled carefully for a while, and finally said, "Yes!" There should be! I vaguely saw that there were some torches on the shore of Zhangshui, but not many! ”

Xin Bi collapsed on the city wall on the spot, and when Gao Gan hurriedly helped him and asked the reason, Xin Bi grabbed Gao Gan's collar and roared with a red face, "Quick!" Get out of town! Get out of town and rush to kill! Pottery thief! He is ready to lead the water to trap us! ”

"Trapping us with the water?!" Gao Gan was startled at first, but when he thought about it carefully, Gao Gan's face turned dead gray, and he roared hysterically: "How did I forget this?!" Yecheng is low-lying, and the ground is slightly lower than the surface of the Zhangshui River! The pottery thief dug a river overnight and introduced Zhangshui, and we will never be able to get out! ”

Roaring and hurriedly striding up the city tower, he pushed away the Yuan Tan guards who came up to block him, rushed to Yuan Tan who was napping, grabbed Yuan Tan up, and shouted: "Lord, send troops quickly!" Hurry up or we're done! ”

At the second minute, Gao Gan finally explained the danger to Yuan Tan Gongzi, and Yuan Tan Gongzi was still a little incredulous at first - he couldn't believe that the Xuzhou army could complete such a huge project in one night, until Gao Gan yelled that if the Xuzhou army was dispatched, how could it not be done? Yuan Tan Gongzi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly yelled that the whole army attacked, and personally led the army out of the city to rush the fortifications of the Xuzhou army!

It took about twenty minutes, the soldiers and horses out of the city were finally assembled, the drawbridges of the east, west and south gates of Yecheng were lowered at the same time, the city gate was opened, and Yuan Tan's army began to flock out of the city, and at the same time, the Xuzhou army outside the city, Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and Wei Yan's team, had already begun to retreat rapidly!

At three o'clock, Yuan Tan's army went out of the city to assemble and was basically completed, and when he couldn't wait to launch a pursuit of the Xuzhou army, the three main forces of the Xuzhou army had already retreated to the side of the trench and began to use the reserved bridge to cross the trench.

After a pillar of incense, Yuan Tanjun chased to the original Xuzhou army siege fortifications, and looked ahead with the light of the torches as dense as stars, which made Yuan Tanjun stunned up and down What was that the Xuzhou army siege trench that could be crossed by a leap had turned into a huge trench two zhang wide overnight!

"Rush! Rush over! Yuan Tan Gongzi was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, yelling and urging the soldiers to come forward and charge, but on the opposite side of the trench, the bow and crossbow of the Xuzhou army had already begun to exert their might, and the dense feather arrows were overwhelmingly shot in front of the Yuan army's team.

"Boom, boom!" The sound of thunderous water came, the cold and turbid Zhanghe River water rolled the remnants of the leaves and grass, whistling and churning along the ditch, around Yecheng drew a huge arc, in an instant Yecheng was surrounded by groups, the water level rose rapidly, quickly flush with the trench, and finally overflowed out of the trench, flowing wantonly on the open ground of Yecheng, overflowing the surface of the feet.

"It worked!" In the ranks of the Xuzhou army, there was a landslide and tsunami-like cheers, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians, civil and military generals, all cheered and roared like thunder.

"It's over!" Yuan Tan Gongzi's throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and then his eyes turned black, and he fell off the war horse on the spot, fell into the muddy water a few inches deep and fainted. (To be continued......)
