Junzhou is a small state, and the city walls are not very thick, but it is not easy to rely on artillery stones to collapse the city walls.

The Song army bombarded for more than ten days, and the cracks in the city wall were getting bigger and bigger, but the city wall showed no signs of collapse.

After entering the middle of May, the rain continued continuously, and the Song army was forced to stop the siege.

In order to prevent the Liao soldiers from crossing the river to the south and encroaching on the border of Daliang, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Shun all led naval troops to deploy defenses along the Yellow River and monitor the Liao soldiers.

Only Zou Yuan and Zou Run's uncle and nephew led the navy army to continue to dump burning knife wine in Liao and Jin, and in order to prevent the Liao State from being arrested, the navy army no longer went to Liao State to sell wine in person, and all of them were distributed by Liao smugglers and dealers.

Although Yelu Dezhong wanted to ban the sale of burnt knife wine, in the past two years, burning knife wine has already become an indispensable thing for the Khitan people.

Yelu had to play the heavy construction yì to the wolf lord of the Liao State, and there was no follow-up.

After days of heavy rain, the water potential of the Yellow River has also become much more turbulent.

The navy did not have to worry about the Liao Kingdom building a pontoon bridge or crossing the river in such weather, so the brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng came to find Li Jun to chat.

The sailors were also anchored in some relatively calm river bays, and the three of them stood in front of the window of a house on the south bank, looking at the turbulent river in the distance.

Tong Wei said: "Junzhou has been besieged for more than 20 days, and I don't know what happened to the brothers in the city. ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "I heard from the people in the Intelligence Department that there were no casualties in the city. The emperor brought enough grain and grass when he was on the expedition, but he was just a little depressed. ”

Tong Meng said: "It has been raining for the past few days, and it takes a lot of effort for the water army to make a fire and cook." Junzhou has been besieged for so many days. I'm afraid that there will be no firewood and grass available in the city. ”

When Li Jun heard this, he was stunned, nodded and said, "I didn't expect this." It seems that the brothers in the city are not having a good time either. ”

Tong Wei worried: "The Liao soldiers will not retreat, and our country's recruits will not be able to go to the battlefield in a short time, and I don't know when Junzhou will be able to break the siege." When the Song Dynasty exterminated Fang La and transferred the Western Army to attack Tokyo, it was not good. ”

Li Jundao: "Now there are nearly 100,000 recruits in Tokyo, even if the Western Army comes, they don't want to capture Tokyo in a short time." It's just that the emperor is besieged in Junzhou. It's not always beautiful. It's good to think of a way to solve the siege of Junzhou. ”

Tong Meng shook his head and said, "It's difficult." Now although there are many small groups of soldiers and horses in Hebei and Hedong, no one dares to attack the soldiers and horses of the Liao State. ”

Li Jun looked at the turbulent river in the distance. Suddenly clapped his hands and said, "There is." ”

Tong Wei looked at Li Jun with a happy face and asked, "Brother has a plan?" ”

Li Jun nodded and said, "Since we can't borrow manpower, we will borrow heavenly power." The emperor is really a person with great luck. ”

Tong Meng hurriedly said: "Brother, don't sell Guanzi." ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "The water potential of the Yellow River has risen sharply, and the Yongji Canal must be the same." I've been thinking about the situation in Junju these days. Junzhou has a higher terrain. The place where the Song Liao soldiers and horses camped was low, but it was a little far away from the Yongji Canal, and if it was a weekday, digging the Yongji Canal would not be able to rush them. But now that it is raining heavily, the water potential of the Yongji Canal is rising sharply, and once it is dug up, it will inevitably flood them. ”

Tong Meng heard this, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother is a good plan." Now the emperor and his brothers have to respect their brother. ”

Li Jun smiled: "Without further ado, you all go back to monitor the river." I went to Tokyo to tell the two military advisors, and asked for some more gunpowder, so that Song Liao's soldiers and horses could be flooded at one time. ”

"Okay, let's wait for my brother's good news."

At that moment, Tong Wei and Tong Meng brothers said goodbye and left.

Li Jun didn't care about the heavy rain, so he took a few people, put on a hat, and hurried to Tokyo.

These days, Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu are also thinking hard about strategies to relieve the siege of Junzhou, and even sent people to Jin to lobby Jin to attack Liao, but the two countries are far away and have not received a reply.

After listening to Li Jun's plan, the two also felt that it was feasible, and immediately allocated a batch of gunpowder to Li Jun, and at the same time asked the people from the Intelligence Department to report to Shi Jin in Junzhou.

After Li Jun returned to the Yellow River, he asked Sanruan, Erzhang, and Ertong to discuss the flooding of the Song-Liao coalition army.

Ruan Xiaoqi listened to Li Jun's plan, and immediately said: "Now that the river is urgent enough, just take advantage of the rain to drown them, and those who escape from the flooding will have to become soup chickens." ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Xiao Qi is right, even if they can't drown them all, it will be difficult to gather soldiers and horses on this rainy day." ”

Ruan Xiaoer frowned and said, "But in this weather, the brothers in Junzhou are afraid that it will not be easy to go out of the city." ”

Ruan Xiaowu shouted: "Why don't we do a big deal with the navy, drown the Song-Liao coalition army, and then kill them." A river goes down, I don't believe how many soldiers and horses can be killed by the Song-Liao coalition army. ”

Zhang Shun nodded and said: "Fifth brother is right, it is river water and rain, this is the world of our water army." When the rain stopped, it was impossible to say that the soldiers and horses of Song Liao would also find that the river in Yongji Canal had risen sharply and hid in high places. While they were now hiding in the camp, they were drowning. ”

Li Jun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then take advantage of the rain." ”

Everyone agreed, and immediately selected the elite brothers, crossed the river in the rain, and rushed to Yongji Canal.

When Li Jun and others crossed the river, two or three military men also braved the rain to enter the camp of the Song army and came to the camp of Wei Dingguo, the general of the Shenhuo regiment, to train in Lingzhou.

Before Liangshan beat Zengtou City, and then beat all the towns in Lingzhou, the Lingzhou regiment training envoy did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and was dismissed from his official position afterwards. The governor of Lingzhou was afraid that Liangshan would go again, so he asked the imperial court to go violently. The Privy Council was afraid that no one would be helpful, so they sent two regimental training envoys, Shan Tingju, the general of Shengshui, and Wei Dingguo, the general of Shenhuo, to guard Lingzhou together.

This time, Liang Zhongshu transferred the forbidden troops from the capitals of Hebei, and the governor of Lingzhou sent the Shenhuo general Wei Dingguo, but the holy water general Shan Tingqi has also been paying attention to the war in Junzhou.

This letter was given to Wei Dingguo by the holy water general Shan Tingjue.

Wei Dingguo was also shocked when he read Shan Tingjue's letter, and he didn't care about the heavy rain, so he immediately braved the rain to go to Liang Zhongshu's big tent.

Liang Zhongshu was reading a book in the tent, and when he saw Wei Dingguo coming in the rain, he asked, "What's the matter with Wei Tuanlian?" ”

Wei Dingguo said: "The single regiment of this department practiced to see that the water of the Yellow River and Yongji Canal rose sharply, and specially sent people to come in the rain, so that we should be careful of the Liangshan thieves attacking with water." The terrain where we and the Liao soldiers and horses camped is relatively low, and if the Liangshan bandits dig the Yongji Canal, I am afraid that we will all be flooded. ”

Liang Zhongshu was also taken aback when he heard this, but then smiled and said: "The Liangshan bandits have been besieged heavily, and they want to come out, so they can't hide it from us and the soldiers and horses of the Liao State." ”

Wei Dingguo said: "Even if you are not afraid of the Liangshan thieves in Junzhou, you must also beware of the Liangshan thieves on the south bank of the Yellow River." ”

Liang Zhongshu said with a smile: "There are Liao soldiers blocking the Tiancheng Bridge, and in such weather, the thieves can't cross the river even if they want to." And in such weather, the army can't change camps. Let's wait for the rain to stop. ”

Wei Dingguo was not very sure that Liang Shan would be attacked with water, and seeing Liang Zhongshu's insistence, he had no choice but to retreat.

The continuous rain also narrowed the scope of the Liao cavalry vigilance a lot, and Li Jun and other naval leaders went down to the Yongji Canal with the help of the rain curtain.

After two huge explosions, the river rushed out of the Yongji Canal like a wild horse and rushed towards the four fields.

For a time, there was an ocean everywhere.

Fortunately, when Lin Chong led people north to Junzhou, he let the people cross the river to avoid the war.

By the time Shi Jin led the troops to Junzhou, the people in Junzhou City had basically crossed the river for refuge, not to mention the people outside the city.

100,000 Liao soldiers and 50,000 Hebei forbidden troops of the Song Dynasty were all sheltering from the rain in the camp, and when they heard the roaring water, it was too late to escape, and most of them were drowned in water.

Countless people and horses struggled in the water, and the people and horses who were lucky not to be swept away by the water also ran in a panic in the rain, making the people killed by the Liangshan Water Army who came to cover up and fall on their backs.

The people from the Intelligence Department also sent the news to Junzhou City under the cover of the rain curtain.

Shi Jin didn't expect that Li Jun came up with this water attack strategy, and was guessing when Li Jun would use the timer, when he heard the guards of the city say that the outside of the city had become a vast ocean, and the Song Liao camp was basically washed down, and immediately ordered the generals in the city to take people out of the city to cover up the remaining Song Liao soldiers and horses.

Song Liaozha's camps were spread for several miles, and some camps were not flooded, but seeing countless people and horses drowning in the water, they were all panicked, and they were rushed by the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang, and they collapsed immediately.

Lin Chong and others led the troops to cover more than ten miles in the rain before they stopped the soldiers and horses.

The navy army even beheaded and captured countless prisoners. (To be continued......)
