The battle is intensifying again!

It's just that in the battle, the Jin army was very aggrieved, and the mortality rate was higher. At this time, the means of attack of the Jin army were very simple, and the means of protection were only shields; However, the Song army, which defended the city, could use all kinds of weapons to attack. What is even more worrying is that at this moment, on the bamboo raft, it is easier to be attacked and destroyed.

After a long fierce battle, the Jin army had to retreat again.

At this time, Zhao Pu roughly counted, only half of the bamboo rafts successfully retreated and left, and half of the bamboo rafts were destroyed, which means that there are more than 3,000 Jin soldiers and soldiers who confessed here.

The corpse of the soldier Jin can be seen faintly in the flood.

In this battle, the Song army lost only three hundred, and most of them were wounded, and even fewer died directly.

"Check it out! The Jin Army is not as invincible as imagined! Zhao Pu sneered. Some of the soldiers were speechless in shame, while some of the old soldiers were scolding and scolding, and some of them were short-tempered, and they even directly waved their whips and whipped the recruits, their faces extremely arrogant.

War is like this, the strong are respected.

If you want to be respected, you will have strength in the end; If you don't have the strength and you're scared, then be ready to be beaten!

Zhao Pu did not stop the "corporal punishment" of the veterans, it was time to teach these recruits some lessons!

At this time, the city gradually stabilized, and the drainage canal played a corresponding effect, and the flood water level gradually decreased.

In fact, the flood canal in Fancheng is still very powerful, but it has been leveled for a long time, and some of the flood canals are blocked. And the government in the city didn't bother to deal with it, so it was damaged, so the bad ones were still bad, and they were not repaired. As a result, after this man-made flood, Fancheng immediately became a water world.

So I had to hug on the battlefield and quickly dredge the flood channel.

After a series of intense measures. The flood level was finally brought under control;

After half an hour, the flood level began to drop;

After an hour, the average water level reached knees;

After two hours, with the exception of a few low-lying areas, the ground above nine floors had returned to normal;

In just three hours, the flood had completely subsided. If it weren't for the scattered chaos inside the city and the continuous silt outside the city, there would be no trace of flooding at all. Afterwards, Zhao Pu roughly counted it and was flooded. This time, hundreds of houses collapsed and hundreds of people were killed or injured, mainly children and the elderly.

This data is very vague and inaccurate, but it is not very different. This made Zhao Pu breathe a sigh of relief, and the loss was much smaller than expected!

"Your Majesty. After the flood. There must be a plague! A physician reminded.

"After the flood, there will be a plague. Beware of the plague again, this is the time to wait! Zhao Pu became nervous again. The spread of the flood is not only a direct kill, but also a lifting of floating dust from the ground, resulting in a flood of bacteria. In the end, it was crushed into a plague. Without stopping for a moment, Zhao Puyou summoned the minister and began to give orders to defend against the plague: sprinkle lime powder and drink Chinese medicine. To burn any dead creatures and bury them in the earth, you must drink boiled water.

I have just survived the flood, and I have to guard against the plague.

……………………

"Marshal, defeated!"

A general fell to his knees with a miserable expression.

"Rubbish!" Jin Wushu scolded, and after scolding, he lay weakly on the tiger skin chair, looking a little decadent.

And this general of the Jin Army retreated in panic!

This is the first time that Jin Wushu has played water attack, and he has no experience at all, everything is an attempt, so he made a lot of jokes. After the extinction, not only the water flooded Fancheng, but also flooded the Jinjun Dazhai. Fortunately, the location of the camp was higher, and there were no casualties, but some grain and grass were also wet, and the quilt was soaked.

In short, at this moment, the camp was flooded, and the camp had to be relocated again.

That's it, the attack on Xiangyang was frustrated, with as many as 3,000 dead and wounded, shocking!

This time, no matter how you look at the flooding, it smells like a joke.

This made Jin Wushu's face hot and extremely embarrassing.

What is even more worrying is that the continuous offensive was frustrated, and the morale of the whole army declined somewhat, and some soldiers pointed fingers at him and didn't say anything to his face, but behind his back, they accused him of using troops improperly, and he was not as good as the second prince.

"Second brother, I'm still not as good as you!" Jin Wushu smiled bitterly. If the second brother was here, he would definitely not be so embarrassed!

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, since ancient times, it has been difficult to attack and easy to defend." Guo Yaoshi advised, "Back then, when the Song Dynasty destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, it fought Taiyuan intermittently for more than ten years before it was defeated; And even the talented Marshal Zong Han and the resourceful General Lou took half a year to break Taiyuan; Later, Marshal Zong Han and Marshal Zong Wang, combined the strength of the two of them, mobilized the troops of the country, and it took half a year to break through Bianliang. Among them, it was also a fluke to account for the majority, among which the emperor of the Song Dynasty fell out in a faint move, and the two marshals broke Bianliang. At this time, His Highness is no different from the two marshals when it comes to talents; But Xiangyang's city defense is dangerous, but it far exceeds Bianliang; And Zhao Pu is wise and brave, and he is beyond the two emperors of the Song Dynasty. The defeat in this battle is also reasonable, Your Highness should not worry! ”

"Pharmacist Guo, it is rumored that this person was once taken as a hostage and rushed to our army's camp to negotiate peace. If the second brother had killed him at that time, how could there be today's disaster? Jin Wushu had some regret on his face.

In that year, when the first army came to Bianliang, Song Qinzong was timid to negotiate peace and sent Zhao Pu, the king of Yi, to negotiate peace. At that time, no one took him seriously, and a small prince of the Song Dynasty was not worth mentioning. At that time, Jin Wushu was also far away, glanced at Zhao Pu, the king of Yi, and swept it over, not paying too much attention to it.

But who would have expected that an insignificant prince at the beginning would become the enemy of the Song Dynasty at this moment.

Under the leadership of Zhao Pu, the Song army regrouped, and its combat strength gradually recovered, and the Jin army became more and more difficult to fight.

"Your Highness...... Who would have thought? Guo Yaoshi said.

"It would have been nice if he had been imprisoned at that time, not returned, and taken to the throne by a mediocre person!" Jin Wushu said, "It is rumored that the second brother thinks that Zhao Pu is a fake prince, so he replaced him back and exchanged him for a real prince." It's just that with the second brother's cleverness, how can he not distinguish the real from the fake? ”

"The second prince can naturally identify the real and the fake!" Guo Yaoshi said, "It's just that the two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, even if they are imprisoned, they are a little immoral, so I let him go back!" ”

said this, but Pharmacist Guo didn't believe it in his heart.

At that time, letting Zhao Pu go back was more to raise the thief's self-respect. At that time, Taizu's prince was in a weak position; If the Song army collapsed in an instant, and there were no external enemies, the Jin army would inevitably fall into internal strife. In the civil strife, the heirs of Taizu, Zong Gan, Zong Wang, Zong Fu, Zong Bi and others, will inevitably be hit and die without a place to be buried.

Just like the heirs of Song Taizu, Zhao Dexiu, the king of Teng, died early, the second son Zhao Dezhao, the king of Yanyi, killed himself, the third son Zhao Delin, the king of Shu, died early, and the fourth son, Zhao Defang, the king of Qin Kanghui, died early.

In order to save the lives of his brothers, Zong Wang had to raise thieves to respect himself, even if he knew that he would become mortal enemies in the future.

In fact, Zongwang's calculation succeeded, because the Song Dynasty was in turmoil, and the Jin army spent great efforts to march south, unable to liquidate their brothers; And Zong Wang also failed, he was still calculated, and "died of heat stroke".

PS； A look at the history reveals some striking similarities. Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, passed the throne to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, but his sons were killed by Zhao Guangyi; And Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, he also passed the throne to his younger brother Wu Qimai, and at that time, the fifth prince Zong Jun, who was the eldest son, died early, and the second prince Zong Wang, who had the highest prestige, died early.

In the stage of achieving an unprecedented victory over the Song Dynasty, various contradictions within the Jin army were also revealed, and the various factions fought seriously and the dumping was extremely serious. This greatly consumed the strength of the Jin army, no less than the "Tianjing Rebellion" during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Because of the civil strife, the vitality of the Jin State was greatly damaged, so that the Jin army was unable to move south, so it could only maintain the balance of power, confront each other across the river, and even failed in some battles of the Song army.

In the infighting, the final victor was the heir of Jin Taizu, Jin Xizong became the emperor, and the fourth uncle Jin Wushu controlled the military and political power of the Jin State, and the Jin Taizong line was declining day by day. (To be continued......)
