The Qin army's endless circular camp surrounded the city of Babylon, which symbolized the origin of civilization, on three sides, and the Qin army fleet blocked the waterway of the city on the Euphrates River.

The next day, Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu got up early, played Tai Chi as usual, and practiced a set of five bird operas. After strengthening his body, he beat drums and gathered to convene a military meeting of his ministers.

After a while, the fifteen generals and five military divisions of the Qin army arrived.

Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday when you tried to attack the city, the Romans built the city of Babylon like an iron bucket, and the strong attack is bound to cause a lot of losses, I don't know if you Aiqing has a good strategy?" ”

The generals look at the military division first, and the military division all look at Lao Jia Xu, because Jia Xu is the second assistant.

Lao Jia Xu shuddered, and said in his heart: "Yesterday, everyone slept in the middle of the night, and they didn't figure out an effective ....... After all, he was the second assistant, and he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Babylonian city wall is six zhang high, two battles wide, there are hundreds of towers for hiding soldiers, and there are ......countless arrow towers and battlements. ”

Qin Feng heard that Lao Jia Xu just said how majestic the city of Babylon was, how difficult it was to attack, and his face gradually sank.

The atmosphere in the imperial tent suddenly turned cold, and the ministers couldn't help but shudder, Jia Xu was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Maybe you can dig the water of the Euphrates River and flood Babylon!" ”

Qin Feng pondered.

At this time, Guo Jia came out of the class and said, "No, this city of Babylon was built on the banks of the Euphrates River, which often overflows, and this city of Babylon has excellent measures to block the water. If the water is released, the city will be difficult to flood, and the outside will accumulate cement, which is not conducive to our army's siege. ”

Tian Fengjin said: "Maybe you can attack the soil." ”

Earth attack is to dig tunnels, so the Qin army began to dig tunnels. However, the Romans were also a war-hardened people. Quite protective.

Three days later, digging the tunnel to no avail.

There is no good way for the ministers. Then it can only be a strong attack.

Qin Feng was a little annoyed and said, "Yesterday was a temptation. and five thousand died. Although Tzu is not in charge of the army, he cannot ignore the lives of soldiers. ”

The ministers bowed down and said pitifully: "The emperor loves soldiers like ...... sons." ”

Qin Feng exhaled a breath of turbid breath and said in his heart: "Ancient times are not as good as modern times, and an army with a strong city is not afraid to face ten times the enemy. Therefore, it is common for a male city to be fought for more than ten years, such as Xiangyang later. The city of Xiangyang and Fan is also near the river, which is similar to Babylon on the banks of the Euphrates River. ”

Thereupon. Qin Feng didn't ask too much, so he disbanded the meeting, and after the ministers returned, they carefully thought of ways and worked together.

Five days later, Emperor Hongwu convened another military conference, but nothing good came of it. Qin Feng was very depressed, but he still calmly dismissed the meeting, and asked the ministers to go back and study it again.

...... ten days later.

"How?" Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair. looked at his generals and military advisors, and said quite unkindly.

Qunchen, look at me, I'll look at you, it's been more than half a month. They also worked hard, saying less about going around Babylon three times a day. However, this city of Babylon was located on the Great Plains, and the Qin army had no terrain to rely on. Unless it is stormed or besieged. There's really no good way to do anything else.

Qin Feng was anxious, patted the imperial book case in front of him and said angrily: "A small Babylon will trap you. And what to say about the path of glory, and what about defeating Rome! He took the case and said, "I want you, there is ......." ”

The ministers were very ashamed, Zhao Yun and other generals lowered their heads, and Guo Jia and other military advisors were flushed.

"Attack, attack, attack all the way, how many people will die here!" Only Qin Feng's angry voice was left in the imperial tent, "Severus just saw this, he laid out three lines of defense, and this is the weakest one." Even the local area at the heart of the family has not yet entered the ....... ”

Hongwu Emperor Rong Ma all his life, he loved soldiers like a son, encountered siege of the city, all with strategy, almost never stormed the city. However, fighting in this foreign land, the Qin army did not have the geographical advantages and people, and Babylon was in the most fertile plain, so it was difficult for the Qin army to borrow strength, so the military advisors and generals had no good way.

But as Qin Feng said, he was stumped, and he said what he said about defeating Rome and what he said about the road to glory.

Qin Feng is angry, so he will almost mess around and punish the "incompetent ministers". Even a martial arts general like Zhao Yun, under the anger of Emperor Hongwu, was frightened and blamed at the same time.

The Son of Heaven is angry, and millions of corpses are ambushed. And Qin Feng was angry, because he was afraid of seeing millions of corpses ambushed after the city was broken.

Qin Feng sat down angrily, smashed his fist on the imperial book case, his forehead was bruised, and he said angrily: "Don't go, including me, I can't think of a good strategy, don't leave anyone." This is out of the country, how can the brain not be used, come on, bring chairs to all the lords and adults, don't get tired ....... ”

When the ministers heard this, cold sweat flowed from their heads, and when the chair was delivered, no one dared to sit down.

Qin Feng was a little anxious, to be honest, he still had a killer weapon, and it would not be a problem to open the Babylon city defense. However, this is where it goes, and the city of Rome must be more difficult to attack, "must be used at the most critical time!" ”

At this time, the curtain of the inner tent shook, and when the ministers peeked, they saw the historian Xin Xianying walking out with a tea tray on it, with a cup of tea on it, clanging and clanging. It turned out that Xianying was also afraid, and her jade hands trembled.

She walked closer, knelt down, and said, "The emperor is angry...... ”

Qin Feng's complexion softened somewhat, and he reached out and took the tea bowl.

The ministers secretly wiped a cold sweat and said in their hearts: "Thanks to Xin Shiguan Hui'an, Shuyi, and Min Li Tianxiang, come out to save us." Everyone was excited, and they actually used the praise of the concubine on Historian Xin, and they didn't realize it.

Qin Feng took a sip of tea, and his brows immediately furrowed. I felt that the taste was wrong, not like the previous tribute tea, but like tea leaves.

Xianying saw it and hurriedly bowed: "This Babylonian water is not as sweet as our Huaxia, and this is the taste when it comes out." ”

"Water, quality!" Qin Feng suddenly showed joy and said, "Okay, good, great, that's it!" ”

Seeing that the emperor was suddenly happy again, the ministers were dumbfounded, and said secretly: "If you don't say that it's still Historian Xin, the emperor will be happy with a cup of tea!" ”

"Historian Xin's prompt is good, and I have a lot of rewards......." After Qin Feng finished speaking happily, he was a little dizzy, after all, his little tail was a woman, and it was not right to be knighted, and it was not authentic to give a military merit medal or something, so Qin Feng didn't finish this reward, he just thought that in the evening, he was rewarding it well. So he said, "Go down first." ”

Xin Xianying was also blinded, and she didn't know why the emperor was so angry, but she also knew that it would never be the reason why she served tea, so she retreated.

So, Qin Feng faced the ministers again and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Babylon City is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordinary methods are really difficult to work, so I can't blame you for not being careful. ”

The ministers were grateful, and bowed: "Our assistant is incompetent, please punish the emperor." ”

Qin Feng smiled and comforted the ministers to get up, and said: "So, to win by surprise, let's do this and this and so, and sprinkle alkali salt in the well." Without water, the Romans would be incapacitated in a few days, and would be able to capture Babylon without much effort. ”

At this point, the ministers were shocked.

Pang Tong was the first to come out and shouted: "Emperor Shengming, this law has never been seen before, and it will be able to break the city!" ”

So, the ministers sang praises and said: "My thoughts are solidified and have limitations, and the emperor is holy and has no limitations, so I can think of such a wonderful plan." ”

At this time, Fu Zhu walked out and said carefully: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to sneak into the city, how can you use alkali salt to destroy the water source of the Romans?" ”

The ministers were stunned for a moment, and suddenly stopped singing, "Yes, this Babylonian city is like an iron bucket guarded by the Romans, and if you can't pour water, how can it be thrown into the well in the city?" ”

It seems that the emperor is also wishful thinking, the method is good, but "there is no door".

The ministers shook their heads for a while, "Such a clever plan, but unfortunately it can't be done!" ”

Qin Feng laughed and said, "Who said that we have to enter the city, we can dig a well outside the city and put it into the well." ”

Oops! The ministers covered their hearts, and said that the emperor was dizzy by us, and this is a fart outside the city.

Guo Jia strengthened his courage, and the good students who came out of the class were relieved: "Your Majesty, digging wells outside the city and spreading salt is ...... It's useless. The emperor does not need to be overly worried, we will definitely come up with an effective way to avoid heavy losses in the siege. ”

Zhao Yun also came out and comforted: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the three armies practice the method of siege day and night. For my Great Qin to break through Babylon, even if it is death, I am willing. ”

The ministers didn't dare to say that the emperor was confused, and said in unison: "The emperor takes care of the dragon's body......." ”

Qin Feng's eyebrows trembled, and he said in his heart: "It seems that he doesn't understand geology." So, Qin Feng held back his anger and explained, "In this way, in this way, the underground is divided into many layers, and the groundwater is alive, just like the big rivers, it also leads directly to the sea." The Persian Sea is in the southeast, and we will dig a well in the northwest, which will surely destroy the water source in the city. ”

The waves of the east of the river are surging, and the groundwater is also going to the east to the underground waves, and the ministers were shocked when they heard it for the first time.

"That's true!" Old Jia asked bravely.

Qin Feng smiled: "Sure enough, don't doubt it." ”

The ministers exploded, we don't know, how did the emperor know, the emperor is a saint, only a saint knows what mortals don't know.

Lao Jia Xu praised: "The emperor is sage, teach us geological principles!" ”

Therefore, from this time on, the way of knowing geography from astronomy to geography has changed, and it has become not only to know astronomy, to know geography, but also to know the structure of the underground, so that it can not be defeated in a hundred battles.

In this regard, among the many titles of Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng, there is one more title of geologist, which is cited as the originator by later geology.

However, this plan requires a large amount of alkali salt to be successfully implemented, but it doesn't matter, not far from the Persian Gulf, and there are many in the sea. (To be continued......)
