Houwan Ferry is the last ferry from Jiuquan Waterfall to Runzhou City, and it is also a fortress close to Runzhou City, if you take it down, then the Song army can come to the city, and you can quickly transfer troops from the west of the city to help, no need to go through Jiuquan Waterfall. So if you take Houwan Ferry. also took half of Runzhou City.

It's just that when the river flows to Houwandu, it is a very big bend, and there is a slight slope, if you want to cross Houwandu, you must cross the river. At this time, the Tang army had already arrived at the city of Runzhou on the other side of the river and was preparing to set up camp.

Zhao Guangyi chased to Jiang's side. Not long after, the Song army's sailors also chased after him. Zhao Guangyi didn't have time to rest, so he ordered the warships to immediately set up a formation, and after repairing for less than an hour, they beat the war drums and rushed towards the opposite shore.

The warships of the Tang army stopped on the opposite bank, but they had no intention of facing the battle. The river was very wide, and looking at the Tang army on the other side that was not moving, Zhao Guangyi was anxious. I don't know what that crazy Li Hongji will do if he takes Xiao Tao away? Now. Zhao Guangyi couldn't calm down anymore, clusters of flames rose in his heart, and he had no time to care about anything else. I didn't even notice the slope of the river and the gradual slowdown of the boats.

At this moment, the deputy general Zheng Jin noticed that something was wrong, and said to Zhao Guangyi: "King Jin, the terrain here is not quite right." The river was sloping, but the current was slow, and it was getting harder and harder for our boat. ”

Zhao Guangyi was stunned, and then began to look around, the boat had already reached the middle of the line, and when he arrived at the center of the river, standing at this angle, he suddenly realized how big this bend in Houwandu was. Because of this bend, the already wide river surface is even more laborious to reach the opposite bank. Moreover, the slope here made it difficult for the warship to sail, and Zhao Guangyi hurriedly ordered the ship to slow down. He ordered the men to find the iron tools of the ship. It is used to explore the depth of the river here. He circled around the perimeter again, and also used tools to probe the depth of the periphery.

The iron hook was thrown down for a long time and did not touch the bottom, and there were a few times when it touched the bottom, but when I took it again, there was not much silt on it. Zhao Guangyi's brows furrowed, if there was no silt, it seemed that there should be a water project of the Tang Army underneath. Zhao Guangyi closed his eyes and vigorously recalled the defense map of the Southern Tang Dynasty Navy that Cao Bin showed him. Is there a water project here? He remembered that he didn't.

Qi Zhengxiu appeared on the tower in the east of Runzhou City, dressed in white and particularly eye-catching. Zheng Jin was stunned for a moment, he was naturally familiar with Qi Zhengxiu, but seeing him at this moment was like seeing the King of Hades like they were waving, Zheng Jin's voice was a little unstable: "Jin, King Jin, Qi Zhengxiu." "Qi Zhengxiu's injuries were not serious, and he didn't attack the camp, but just waited for them here, didn't he fall for his plan?

Zhao Guangyi's heart tightened, Qi Zhengxiu was waiting here to catch turtles in the urn? But Xiao Tao is on the other side, is he going over or going back? If you just go back, when will you be able to cross the river? Zhao Guangyi pondered, got up and walked out of the warship, stood at the front of the bow, and raised his eyes to look in the direction of Qi Zhengxiu.

Qi Zhengxiu, who was dressed in white, was repairing in the city tower, and Zhao Guangyi, who was dressed in black, stood at the bow of the boat, both of them stood tall and looked at it from a distance across half of the river.

It is impossible to retreat, Xiao Tao is on the other side, no matter what, Zhao Guangyi will not leave her and retreat. Zhao Guangyi ordered, his own boat stood still in the center of the river, and the other ships quickly dispersed, as far as they went. On the other side of the river is a long line along the river, and as long as it is scattered, it is impossible to be wiped out by the water projects. And to capture the thief and capture the king, as long as he has not entered the trap, Qi Zhengxiu will not order the net to be closed.

The warships behind quickly sailed to the other side of the river in the shape of "eight", and several of them were fast and less than a stick of incense, and they had already reached the opposite bank and fought with the Southern Tang defenders led by Li Hongji, and the follow-up warships also kept leaning inward, but they were sporadic and irregular.

Qi Zhengxiu stood on the city tower, looking at the ships on the river like chess pieces, moving from the edge of the chessboard to the middle of the chessboard, seeing that the warships were more and more densely concentrated in the center of the chessboard, and the largest chess piece Zhao Guangyi's warship was in the center, but soon, they were all scattered. The ships scattered from the center of the chessboard to the side.

Qi Zhengxiu hooked his lips and smiled, Zhao Guangyi's resourcefulness was flexible enough, but it didn't matter how many ships came over, what he wanted to catch was Zhao Guangyi's warship. Seeing that most of the warships had slowly crossed the river, and Zhao Guangyi's warships were also heading towards the opposite bank at the end, Qi Zhengxiu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he raised his hand: "Release!" ”

Zhao Guangyi's boat was moving forward at full speed, and suddenly the hull of the boat shook, and then the hull of the ship turned upside down, Zhao Guangyi suddenly rose up, but was swept into the water by the instantly overturned hull. The slightly inclined slope just now suddenly tilted in the opposite direction at this moment, and swept Zhao Guangyi's ship and several nearby warships into it.

Zhao Guangyi's heart sank, this is the most dangerous and difficult water project in the legend, Yuliang Dam. Using the principle of a dam, the bottom of the river is divided into several streams by making stones at the bottom of the river, and then the part near the river surface is built with driftwood and iron plates are laid on top. Once the enemy ship is sick to its stomach, it pulls out the driftwood, and the iron plate tilts violently, and the huge whirlpool of water can instantly sweep all the boats into the river. Zhao Guangyi had only seen this kind of embankment in ancient military books before, but on the actual battlefield, not to mention that he had never seen it, Zhao Kuangyin had never seen it, and even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, he had never heard of anyone who could restore this kind of Yuliang dam.

This kind of water engineering is extremely difficult to do, the force of each driftwood, plus the buoyancy of the water flow, but also to consider the changes in the water potential of the four seasons, must be calculated accurately, in order to do this kind of water potential engineering is not like an ordinary embankment stationary there, but can be like the back of a fish in the water, once touched, immediately flip, thus causing a huge military attack force. As long as it enters the attack range of Yuliang Dam, no matter how big and stable the ship is, there is no room for turning. Zhao Guangyi never thought that Qi Zhengxiu would be able to restore this. Even though he was an opponent, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but admire. Such a person, I don't know how many years it will take to produce one, is so successful in military talent.

It's just that at this moment, he has become a trophy that is difficult to struggle under this exquisite water project, Zhao Guangyi grabbed the boat that fell into the river hard, the boat has been planted aside, the water in the hull is gradually sinking, Zhao Guangyi climbed the highest part of the boat hard, and looked around to see where he could hold on again. But the boat swayed, and Zhao Guangyi was thrown into the river again, and he didn't show his head for half a day. The surrounding boats were even more twisted, and many soldiers were soaked in the river, struggling to find a way to get to the shore.

Xiao Tao was on the other side of the river, and Li Hongji had no time to take care of her and the Tang army and the Song army, which had just docked, and started to fight. Xiao Tao ran out, watching Zhao Guangyi's boat overturn by the river, his body trembled, and seeing Zhao Guangyi climb onto the top of the boat and slide down, Xiao Tao's heart was numb, his mind was blank, and he jumped into the boiling river without thinking and swam towards Zhao Guangyi.

Qi Zhengxiu watched a slender figure thrown into the river on the city tower, and his heart pulled hard. The attendant on the side "babbled" curiously, "Why are there still women?" After a pause, he asked Qi Zhengxiu, "My lord, do you want to press the second valve now?" ”

Qi Zhengxiu made improvements on the basis of the Yuliang Dam recorded in ancient times, after using the Yuliang Dam to overturn the warship under the momentum of the instantaneous reversal of the water flow, and then pressed the valve again, the wooden stake originally buried in the middle of the river would rise, trapping people in the middle, unable to swim, and finally being captured alive or drowned alive when the current was turbulent. The stakes are not raised all at once, but one after the other.

Qi Zhengxiu had never been so confused in his mind, originally all this was expected by him, but Xiao Tao's sudden appearance made him confused. What's going on? Didn't she say that she was in the Song army camp in the west of Runzhou City? Why is she here? So what's next? If you press the valve, it is possible to trap Xiao Tao in it and be in danger of her life, but if you don't press it, many Song troops will swim to the other side sooner or later, so the deployment of troops and water projects will be in vain. And once the Song army attacked, the current strength of Runzhou City would not last long, and Runzhou would die? The Tang Dynasty is dead? The green tendons on Qi Zhengxiu's forehead were jumping suddenly, his eyes were firmly fixed on the little peach swimming hard in the river, and his lips were pursed very tightly. This is the most difficult choice he has made in his life.

The attendant waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Qi Zhengxiu's instructions, and couldn't help but remind in a whisper: "My lord, a lot of Song Jun swam over, and also, do you still press the valve?" "Brother Yu of the Siege.

Qi Zhengxiu's fists were clenched tightly, his whole body was cold, he looked at the little peach in the river, looked back at the sunset that was about to fall in the distance, and dyed the sky a blood-red, blood-red, hideous like the blood of countless Tang soldiers who died on the battlefield, and also like the blood-soaked jade enshrined in the Southern Tang Family Temple. His country, the person he loves, Qi Zhengxiu closed his eyes, his mind was booming, accompanied by the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, almost exploding.

After a long time, Qi Zhengxiu waved his hand slowly and deeply. Didn't speak. But that gesture means pressing the valve.

As soon as the valve was pressed, one by one wooden stakes stopped, Zhao Guangyi picked up a boat board again and floated up, but there were five raised wooden stakes that blocked the surroundings and couldn't get out. And Zhao Guangyi's body was full of water, and he no longer had the strength to jump into the air and rush out of the stake. Zhao Guangyi looked around, but suddenly saw the little peach swimming towards him, his heart tugged, and he shouted loudly: "Go back, don't come over!" It's dangerous here! ”

Xiao Tao heard Zhao Guangyi's shout, but she didn't care about anything, how could she watch him die? The first time to read the "Three More Peach Blossom Drums" is free.
