Chapter 55: The Sorcerer's Mighty Flooding Huma

In the middle of the night, some soldiers found that the water flow of the moat had increased, and reported to the city lord Abesili, and the Turkic Khanate Ujin Abesli laughed

"God help me, the Tang Army is located in a low place, see where Yan Tang Xiao'er will stand tomorrow"

Abesli continued to catch up on sleep, not paying attention.

By the Heishui River, the night was dark, Dugu Tianxing, the captain of the temple street, was still lying on his chair, the torches on both sides of the bank, the wind and lights were shining like day, and the people and horses of Yantang embankment on the river bank were busy.

The chief manager of Shan led the future to visit the scene of the water interception, and when he saw that the lord would be so leisurely, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he didn't bother to pay attention to this lazy thing, and went straight to the place where the embankment was built.

On the bank of the Heishui River, there are five gantry cranes, which are connected to two ropes made of fine linen with the thickness of two arms, and the soil and stones are loaded into wooden baskets and transported here. The two rows of thick wooden piles of the Heishui River have been erected, the middle is filled with earth and stones, higher than the water surface, at this time the embankments on both sides are extending to the middle of the river, the distance is not more than a zhang, the river is unbearable to be constrained by the embankment, and the water potential is even more fierce.

Dugu Qiuqiu himself shook his fat body and busily commanded a ship full of stones to intercept the gap.

But the water flowed so violently that the ship sank to the bottom of the water, and a whirlpool disappeared.

The man on the embankment pulled up the sergeant who was tied to the rope and couldn't help but be annoyed.

Dugu Tianxing was woken up, and Shi Shiran got up to check.

Seeing Gu Meng, the Right Guard Magician in the crowd, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Gu Magician is willing to show his skills"

Right Wei Xuanjie Captain Gu Meng's magician studied under the Imperial Warlock Academy's dean Ding Lei, the master of the Yan Tang Warlock Guild, and was in his thirties, when he heard that the Demon Wolf Tianxing invited him to cast a spell to help, he smiled slightly and came out of the crowd.

Gu Mengshu checked the situation a little, intercepted the earth and stone structure of the embankment, first laid a wooden stake, filled in the soil and stone, the outer layer was actually made of sackcloth bags of soil, and the water could not take away the soil and stones on the embankment.

Gu Meng's magician thought for a moment, asked the embankment sergeant to prepare the landfill, and took out a short staff from his sleeve, which was more than a foot long, with the thickness of wood, and looked like a hardwood.

Gu Meng's magician drew a rune array with a staff, and there were words in his mouth, tea kung fu, Gu Meng's magician drank clearly, the staff pointed to the water flow at the gap, and the water flow at the gap flowed back with a sound, rolling up half a zhang high waves, Dugu Qiuqiu urgently ordered the sergeant to push the wooden basket loaded with earth and stone into the water, the horizontal side of the embankment can be a carriage, five people worked side by side in an orderly manner, half an hour of effort, the embankment was closed, the night had come, the water mist rose, the black water was blocked, and the efforts to wash the embankment were fruitless, and the whirlpool was whirling.

The water in the upper reaches of the embankment rose at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye, and Dugu Qiuqiu urgently ordered all the embankment soldiers to speed up the construction of the embankment, and the embankment was gradually heightened and strengthened until it was level with both banks.

When it rose to a certain extent, Dugu Tianxing saw that the water was slowing down, yawned, beckoned Gu Meng's magician to go and rest, and agreed to decide on the embankment on the south bank to divert water to irrigate Huma City.

The general manager of Shan led the generals to take a look, and they were all surprised, and such a fast speed interception made everyone feel at ease.

The Yantang people have all moved to this hill in the past few days, and only the old camp in place is empty, which makes the Yantang sappers work hard for a while.

Seeing that the two sorcerers had said goodbye and rested, the chief manager of Shan Da instructed not to disturb a few words, and ordered the generals of each battalion to return to the camp to prepare, and wait for the opportunity to move tomorrow.

In addition to Dugu Qiuqiu leading the team to insist on checking the water situation of the embankment, Yan Tang also returned to silence.

The next day, the weather continued to be fine, the sun rose early, the warm sun shone on the land of Heishui and Huma, and the morning breeze was light, making people feel relaxed.

In the city of Huma, Abesili slept beautifully, was in a good mood, drank a few more glasses of mare's milk wine for breakfast, and a sergeant came to report that the water of the moat had overflowed both banks, and Abesili was in a better mood.

Abesili went up to the city to inspect in a neat manner, only to see that the place where the Tang army lined up yesterday was already muddy waters, and laughed "Heaven helps the Turks"

When a few Tang army sentinels waded in the water and left again, the defenders of Huma City laughed and cursed.

The moat connects the Heishui and the Huma River, although the water is strong, but it goes around the city, the Turkic soldiers don't care, a few rough men even untie their trouser pockets and pee under the city, and the Huma city is full of joy.

A few black dots on the hill in the distance were of course taken by Besli as a Tang army general desperately checking the water situation.

These black dots on the hill are none other than the Demon Wolf Tianxing, with his two guards and Dugu God, accompanying Gu Meng's magician and one of his warlocks' subordinates, carefully inspecting the area where the river flows through and discussing how to cast spells to change the flow of water.

Gu Meng, who has studied water magic for many years, has his own set, and a few days ago, he also walked through the Huma moat, and several key areas are equipped with rune arrays, Dugu Tianxing conceived that it was an air barrier to block the water drainage, Gu Mengshu thought it was true, the two divided labor, Gu Mengshu drained, and the Demon Wolf Tianxing set up obstacles.

"Later, you can watch Gu Dream Master show his might, and lead this black water dragon to kill the enemy."

"It's still the whimsy of the Dugu Great Magician, whether this success or not depends on the Dugu Great Magician's barrier technique, and I am even looking forward to the scene of the Great Magician's spell. If you capture Huma, Dugu Duwei is the first merit."

"Take advantage of the situation, guide according to the situation, the basic tips of the warlock, a certain is just to see that if you attack Huma, the Tang army will lose a huge loss, so I have to do it as a last resort. The water dragon is all guided by Gu Shushu, and the first credit should be Captain Gu. ”

"Haha, then go to the place where the embankment breaks, and as soon as the time comes, immediately cast a spell"

"Okay, Gu Shushu first, please"

A few people quickly came to the place where the embankment was about to break on the bank of the black water, and the crowds of the hosts of the Zhengmo River were surging, and under the leadership of the general manager of Shanda, they watched the scene of the magician casting spells.

The bank here was originally the place where the Tang army crossed the river three years ago, and it was originally a gap in the diversion of the black water flood, which was repaired by the Turkic side before, and the embankment was heightened.

Seeing that the black water had risen to less than half a person's height from the embankment on the south bank, the Grand Warlock Demon Wolf Tianxing and the Warlock Gu Meng thought that the hour was almost up, so they humbled each other, and Dugu Tianxing insisted on letting Gu Meng's Warlock give the order.

Gu Meng's magician pushed a few times, but he had to take the lead, and with a "water god" Dugu Tianxing threw a fireball at the gunpowder fuse rope buried in the embankment, and sneered softly, Dugu Tianxing and several of his brothers covered their ears and looked at the people around them who didn't care about it with a snicker.

After a few breaths, there was a loud bang, and the mud and sand rose into the air, and the water dragon that had been bound for several hours broke through the destroyed embankment and rushed straight down with a mountain and a sea of mountains.

The surrounding generals were ignorant for a moment, and were frightened by the power of the gunpowder, and the sound was so loud that several young lieutenants could not hear the exclamations clearly, and their ears were temporarily deaf, and they saw the lips of the people around them, and they did not know what to say, but fortunately there were no horses on the embankment, otherwise they would be even more panicked.

The Demon Wolf Tianxing motioned to the big bear to push a light boat on the shore into the surging current, Ah Gou went up to stabilize the boat first, Dugu Tianxing and Dugu Shen flew on the boat, and the big bear had to stay on the shore to watch the battle.

The Gu Dream Sorcerer was also frightened by the sound of gunpowder, and saw that Dugu Tianxing had already driven the boat down the river, so he hurriedly ordered a warlock to also put down a wooden row, and the two of them also went with the waves.

A few zhang wide gap released a monstrous current, the rising waves were more than a few zhang high, worthy of being a water magician, Gu Mengshu stood firmly in the middle of the wooden row, the wooden row was thrown high with the current, Gu Mengshu was like flying in the air, and the boat of Dugu Tianxing was close to the water surface and went up and down, almost at the end of the current, and then drilled out of the waves, like a snake swimming in the water, light and thrilling.

The generals on the shore have all experienced fierce battles on the battlefield, and they are all sober after a while, and the general manager Shan laughed and scolded that Dugu Tianxing was given a back, and Deputy General Manager Pei Xuangui even carried the Dugu ball and reprimanded it loudly.

"Dugu Qiuqiu, you are quite bold, such a big thing is not reported in advance, what is there to be responsible for?"

Scolding and scolding, Deputy Chief Manager Pei noticed the abnormality of the silence around him, turned around and looked at it, and he was also dumbfounded.

The water dragon that rushes out of the embankment gathers but does not disperse, it is still more than two zhang high and four or five zhang wide, there is a flood discharge road under the embankment, but it is dilapidated, it is a flat and rocky beach, according to common sense, the water flow of the embankment should be scattered, but at this time it is really like a muddy yellow water dragon, and goes straight to the Huma City four or five miles away.

Gu Meng's magician has reached the tide of the tide, just like a clever pilot, without the reins, he can control the water dragon faucet, let it follow his own wishes, and roll forward.

And the lone demon wolf stands in the boat, like a leisurely passenger, drifting with the tide, steady.

The water flow was very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it entered the Huma moat, and the water rose suddenly, and it went straight to Huma.

Everyone looked at the strange scene in front of them, although they were ready to see the vision, but no one imagined that the water flow could be such a spectacular scene, and there was only one word in everyone's hearts, dragon, only a real dragon is so.

After all, the general manager of the battlefield is a veteran of the battlefield, and he has seen a lot of wonders and strange scenes, so he hurriedly chased away along the hill. The rest of the people came to their senses and ran to the hill opposite Huma in droves.

Abesili was in a good mood to comfort his subordinates, when he suddenly heard a loud noise in the northeast, everyone was surprised, and after a while, a sentry came to report that there was a vision in the north.

Abesli rushed to the north city wall with his subordinates, only to see a water dragon merging into the moat and heading straight for Huma, and everyone was pale.

"There's someone there," someone called.

The moat under the city walls also stirred, and the uneasy lapping of the city walls splashed half a foot high, and all the defenders were at a loss.

A few breaths, the figure on the water dragon can be seen, a man in a green robe holding a short cane, standing a wooden row, a hundred steps later, a light boat three young men, a dog squatting on the head of the boat, Dugu God cool floating in the tail of the boat, the demon wolf Dugu Tianxing standing in the boat, smiling, I don't know whether he is happy with the success of the spell, or laughing at the ignorance of the Turkic soldiers.

The Turkic soldiers ran around, making a pot of porridge, and Abesli was disheartened, and watched as the water dragon galloped over the city, and he himself was carried into the air like a dead leaf by the water dragon.

The sky is so blue, the sun is still so dazzling, the wolf god, I want to return to your arms. This was the last thought of the defender of Huma City, Abesili Wujin.

The water dragon suddenly encountered an obstacle at the head of Huma City, and became more manic, and the water dragon that had gathered three zhang high suddenly jumped high, suddenly rose two zhang, and the things that were blocked were all swept up in it, and the momentum was even stronger.

At the moment when the water dragon was about to rush into the city, Gu Meng's sorcerer turned the wooden row, like a light feather, and floated down the old moat four or five feet lower than the water dragon.

And the boat of Dugu Tianxing is still like a duckweed in the water, staying on the intercity water dragon, and the surging water is like a galloping horse like a flying locust, scrambling from under the boat to pour into Huma City.

Behind him, a three-zhang high and five-zhang wide muddy yellow water dragon continues to follow one after another, both sides are unobstructed, creeping on the earth, like a giant python like a yellow dragon stretching forward.

Gu Meng's magician and his boatman's warlock also had time to admire the wonders they had created.

"The name of the Great Magician is not deceitful," Gu Mengshu sighed.

After the tea effort, the water dragon began to get lower and wider, but it still worked hard to wash away the already devastated Huma City.

The northern walls of Huma City have been razed to the ground, the water in the city has become high, some clever Turkic soldiers have opened the east and south gates to escape, and many more have been reduced to fish and shrimp under the torrent.

Dugu Tianxing's boat gradually became lower, and finally the water dragon was like being pierced through the blood vessels by spikes, and scattered with a bang, and the water splashed everywhere, like a water bag falling to the ground, and the water flow in the city swirled rapidly, and some Turkic soldiers who knew how to water just breathed a sigh of relief and drowned in the torrent again.

Dugu Tianxing's boat floated down the river to the place where the Tang army lined up yesterday, Gu Meng's magician couldn't support it, and his head was lying on the wooden raft with his head on the accompanying warlock, and the wooden raft was floating with the water.

Dugu Tianxing's boat approached the wooden row, and the two sorcerers who had jointly completed the wonder of the water dragon attacking the city smiled at each other, and a feeling of pity for each other arose.

In the distance, a group of Yan and Tang cavalry waded in, and the Tang army camp on the hill shook the sky.

Dugu Tianxing slowly squatted down, slowly stretched his limbs and lay on the wet boat, smiling and falling asleep.

In the battle, the city of Huma was broken, and only 2,000 of the 30,000 Turkic defenders escaped.

In the afternoon of the same day, the water flow in Huma City subsided, and the Dugu ball also blew open the embankment that had just been closed yesterday, leaving a few gantry cranes to build a wooden suspension bridge to facilitate cross-strait exchanges.

The next day, the water in front of Huma City had been dispersed, and it was all returned to the Huma River.

The Tang army sent troops into the city, and the city was in a mess, with few living creatures.

It was also a headache for the general manager to check it out, although the soldiers did not capture Huma bloodily, but this Huma had become a quagmire of ruins and could not garrison the army, so he had to leave a team of men and horses to clean up and bury the Turkic corpses.

At noon, the two heroes who fell asleep yesterday woke up one after another, and Dugu Tianxing shouted that he was hungry, and a jar of fragrant and delicious fish porridge was put down.

Wang Jiangnan's three little ladies looked at the great magician Demon Wolf Tianxing devouring in disregard of the image, and did not make a sound, waiting for him to touch his belly and get up and slowly walk to eat, and then he chattered and asked.

"Dugu Duwei, how did the water dragons gather and not disperse?"

"The art of water control is so magical, can you teach something?"

"The head of Dugu has made new contributions, which is gratifying"

Dugu Tianxing was annoyed, and waved his hand to say, "Stop, stop"

Dugu Tianxing stretched out his arms and expanded his chest, feeling his vitality regained, and then he lay back to his baby chair comfortably, basking in the warm sunshine, and was in a good mood.

"If the three little ladies want to learn the art of water control, you can consult Gu Meng's magician."

"Gu Meng's magician is still meditating, and the Heavenly Star Magician will explain it."

"Well, dog, come with a basin of water"

The three little ladies looked at a basin of clear water, and carefully observed and experienced the water nature according to Dugu Tianxing's requirements, but they didn't know what it meant until they saw their eyes.

Dugu Tianxing sighed, picked up a teacup, filled it with water, and the water overflowed and stopped.

"You see that the teacup is full, can you continue to refill it?"

The three little ladies shook their heads.

Dugu Tianxing continued to slowly refill the water, and the water level was actually higher than the edge of the tea cup, and the water bubbles gathered but did not disperse, and the tea cup was like wearing a crystal-like crown hat.

"You pour it yourself, this doesn't need to be magical"

The three little ladies were excited about the practice, Zheng Suier succeeded first, and the three little ladies were like treasures, high-fived each other.

"There is tension in water, hey, you don't understand it, you have to learn more, you just need to remember that water is natural, and the magic is just a guide according to the situation"

"To cast the spell, you must have this first, this spell, water is this, there is no rootless water, you can't spit and drown Huma, the black water terrain is higher than Huma City, the water potential is discharged, inertia condensation, just a little barrier, you can keep the flow direction."

Dugu Tianxing poured the water from the teacup into the basin, "You see, the water of the teacup is still condensed when it comes out of the cup, but it is scattered when it comes out of the cup, why?" If there is an obstacle, how can it be hindered? Gas also. ”

Dugu Tianxing blew into the water basin again, blowing a stream of water forward, "Three little ladies, please see, Ben Langjun can urge the water flow just by spitting, just because the wind and water rise, the wind, the breath flows." ”

The three little ladies seem to have understood, Zheng Sui'er is the goddess of the spring breeze, although she can't call for wind and rain, but controlling the wind direction is not a problem, and she is excited to urge the big and small winds to guide the water flow in the basin to swirl.

Dugu Tianxing used the teacup to scoop water and splash it to the far end, so that Zheng Xiaoniang controlled the wind and attacked it, and Zheng Xiaoniang urged the wind to attach to the water out of the cup, and the water really moved with the wind and gathered and did not disperse.

The three little ladies immediately had a lot of fun, and Dugu Tianxing stopped talking and closed his eyes to recuperate.
