"You mean to use water?" Shi Shu asked.

Ning Zeqing nodded and pointed out on this topographic map: "The remnants of the former Wanli are now living at the foot of the mountain, and not far from them is a dam. The dam has been filled with rainwater for many years. It was originally prepared for a sudden drought, but after a few years there was no drought, and the water has been stored here. Now, the water in the dam has a use. Open the dam gates and the water will flow down the col to the bottom of the hill to drown them, and if they venture up the hill, they can catch turtles in the urn. ”

Qu Mingli has his own worries: "But not far from the foot of this mountain, it is ten miles and eight towns. As soon as the dam was opened, it was difficult to control the water potential. It is not impossible that if the foot of the mountain is flooded, it will inevitably continue to flow downward, causing disaster to the people. ”

Shi Shu frowned, and when he heard that it hurt the people, he was naturally distressed: "If you threaten the lives of the people in order to attack the enemy army, I'm afraid it will outweigh the losses." ”

Ning Zeqing said again: "The last general has already thought of countermeasures, as long as the surrounding people are moved to a safe area in advance, the water will not flood them." ”

Shi Shu's eyebrows eased slightly, and he agreed to this proposal.

Ning Zeqing ordered Qu Mingli and Ban Fei to do it immediately.

But when it came to doing this, Qu Mingli found that it was difficult.

The local people have been relocated to this small remote countryside all their lives, and they have been raised by this soil for generations.

The villagers wiped their tears and packed up their things, but how could they take away the land, the crops in the fields, and the houses where they had lived for generations?

"Old woman, go quickly, or the water will come down." Qu Mingli softly advised this old woman, but she was still sitting upright in the main hall, neatly dressed, and did not move at all.

"Even if I die, I will die in this house!" She said in a hoarse voice.

On the side, her son and daughter-in-law persuaded her: "When the time comes, we will save money, and we will build you an identical one, and if you don't leave now, the water will be gone, and there will be nothing." ”

The old woman was still sitting, not moving, and the children and grandchildren had no choice but to carry her away.

When she left the hospital, the old woman fainted from crying.

The old people always have a deeper level of nostalgia than the young people.

Looking back, who didn't wipe their tears and endure the pain of leaving, big bags and small bags, no matter how they cleaned up, they couldn't hide the loneliness of being far away from their hometown and home.

"You don't agree with the method of water attack?" Shi Shu asked.

Qu Mingli nodded: "Although all the people downstream have been evacuated, those fertile fields, buildings and the like can't be moved, and when the water arrives, they can only be flooded." These losses cannot be measured. Therefore, it will be suggested that another method be chosen. ”

He can't bear to let those people be homeless in the future, which is also a reason. It's just that he seems soft-hearted when he says it, so he doesn't say it.

Ning Zeqing asked, "Do you already have another way?" ”

Qu Mingli's face was solemn and he shook his head.

Ning Zeqing said: "Three days later, if there is no better way, the gate will be opened." ”

This gave Qu Mingli a time limit, and it also gave him pressure.

But he has no other way, and it's really hard to say this.

Qu Mingli gathered around the map for days, looking carefully, hoping to see a breakthrough. He fought to the front line again, looking for the hole under the enemy's mountain.

Finally, he found a place.

"They were stationed only on the north side of the mountain, and on the south side of the hill was steep and unmanned. We climb up from the south, and take down from above the mountain, supplemented by rocks, rough wood, etc., and we will definitely be able to kill with one blow! ”

"No," Ning Zeqing immediately rejected Qu Mingli's proposal, "You also said that the south is steep, how can the army climb to the top of the mountain without moving." This trick is too sinister, and I don't agree with it. ”

Qu Mingli's face was solemn: "I personally led the troops up, and if something happened, I was responsible." ”

Ban Fei looked nervous.

"You're responsible? How are you responsible? Is it responsible for the failure of the soldiers who were discovered by them, or is it responsible for the lives of the soldiers who died after the defeat? ”

Qu Mingli was stunned for a while, he couldn't say anything about him, he turned to kneel and begged the crown prince Shi Shu: "Your Highness, although this move is a bit dangerous, it is worth the risk compared to flooding the township and destroying the property accumulated over several generations." Moreover, the last general is willing to use his life as a guarantee, and he will definitely do this safely, and there will be no omissions. ”

Shi Shu was sometimes embarrassed for a while, thought about half of his salary, and sighed: "Since this is the case, let's do as you say." It's just that this is a dangerous matter, and you must be careful. ”

Qu Mingli nodded.

"Give you four hours, and if you can't break the enemy by then, I'll open the floodgates." Ning Ze Qingdao.

In four hours, I had to go up the mountain and attack the enemy, and the time was really a little tight, but now I could only agree.

Qu Mingli led a team of 2,000 people up the mountain early in the morning. When I really got up, I realized that the mountain road was difficult to walk, and it took longer than I expected.

"Brothers, it's up to us whether the people can have a home to return to!" Qu Mingli inspired the soldiers, continued to climb up, and was careful about the sound of his footsteps, so as not to be too heavy and be noticed.

When he arrived at the top of the mountain, Qu Ming ordered the people to select a large enough rolling stone, and asked people to cut down the rough wood, concentrate it in one place, and wait for the fate to roll down together.

And these are even more time-consuming, and there are not many hours left until the set four hours.

Qu Mingli gritted his teeth and worked harder with the soldiers.

The former Wanli army was stationed at the foot of the mountain, there was no battle on this day, and they were recuperating and recuperating, when suddenly, they heard a sound of rolling thunder in the sky, which resounded above everyone's heads. But everyone looked up, and the sky was clear, and there was no sign of changing the sky.

Finally, the sound intensified, with a booming sound of falling to the ground.

On the hillside, large chunks of rolling stones rushed down, and the thick trunks of the trees overwhelmed the weak weeds, and they fell to the ground.

The former Wanli soldiers hurriedly dodged, but they were still inevitably pressed by heavy objects in the chaos.

"Rush!"

The sound of rolling thunder was still stopped, and the soldiers rushed down from the mountain with weapons in hand, as if falling from the sky, killing the former Wanli soldiers who were still stunned.

"The sub-attack army...... Coming down from the mountain! The soldier wailed and reported to Qi Shang.

Qi Si and Yu Zhanpu didn't know what to do for a while.

General Qin instead smiled at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes: "This opponent, interesting, interesting!" ”

As the minutes ticked by, the four hours were coming.

Ning Zeqing's face was worried, staring at the col where the Wanli army was stationed in front of him, but he didn't see the slightest movement.

As soon as the time came, Ning Zeqing ordered his subordinates: "Open the gate and drain the water!" ”

Ban Fei hurriedly said: "General, wait a little longer, Ming Li is still on the mountain from them!" ”

Ning Zeqing's face was cold: "A military order is a military order!" ”

The subordinate was about to go when a soldier beside him suddenly shouted, "You see, the enemy army is fleeing from the camp. ”

Ning Zeqing looked over there, the former Wanli army scattered and fled in all directions, and the soldiers led by Qu Mingli were chasing behind.

"General, look, Mingli has succeeded!" Ban Fei is so unhappy.

And the corners of Ning Zeqing's mouth were also a little unseen joy.
