It's a pity that Luo Bingji's awakening came too late, when the entire Yanshan Mansion City fell into a hurry, the surging flood had overflowed from the distant horizon without warning, and rushed straight towards Yanshan City, it was obvious that the people of Western Xinjiang dug the right embankment of Yishui to make the Yanshan City, which was already a little low, suddenly become the center of the rapids, and the mighty Yishui was like a diversion and frantically hit the city wall of Yanshan Mansion City, making waves on the city wall, and then retreated and slowly parted ways to leak to both sides.

Just an hour later, the outside of Yanshan Mansion is already an ocean, the entire east, west, north and south four gates are all besieged by floods, due to the special geographical location of Yanshan Mansion City, just in the center of the entire Yanshan Basin, the position is relatively low, and then under the arrangement of the people of Western Xinjiang, the water accumulated by careful dam construction pours out at once, straight to the north gate and west gate of Yanshan Mansion City, due to the poor geographical location of the city, although the four gates of Yanshan are closed, blocking the water flow, but the water flow outside the city is quite slow to drain away. This has led to a rather serious problem, that is, the foundation of the city wall of Yanshan Mansion has been soaked in floods.

It is true that the city wall of Yanshan Mansion is thick and high, but Luo Bingji ignores an important factor, that is, the geographical location of Yanshan Mansion City is on the alluvial fan in the middle of the alluvial plain of Yishui, this location is fertile, but it is relatively loose, mainly brown sand loam, built on this soil foundation The city wall of Yanshan Mansion can not withstand the long-term immersion of the flood at all, if it was in the past, even if the Yishui River broke through the embankment, it should have been discharged along the downstream long ago, but now the flood has not receded, it is obvious that someone has also done something downstream, needless to say that it must be from Xijiang。

Overnight, the flood has begun to soak into the city, Yanshan Mansion is full of flowing ice water, the weather in Yanshan in November has been quite cold, although the water has not yet frozen, but it has been piercing three points, the people in Yanshan City have been bitter, they have to build embankments in front of their respective homes to resist the invasion of floods, the only hope is that the flood outside the city can recede earlier, has been living in this environment, enough to make people crazy.

Luo Bingji patrolled the city wall all night, the soldiers of the two divisions have been moved to the high places near the city wall, a considerable part of the surname Suo lived directly on the city wall, he was not worried that the people of Western Xinjiang would take the opportunity to attack, this situation of water on all sides, it was difficult for anyone to launch an offensive, he was most worried that the city wall caused a large number of floods outside the city due to the collapse of the foundation, so he had to send a large number of soldiers to patrol and guard under the city wall, once he found an abnormality, he immediately blocked and reinforced it with sandbags.

When Yanshan Mansion ushered in the dawn of a new day, the soldiers waiting on the city wall found that the flood outside the city wall not only did not recede at all, but there were signs of rising, which surprised the soldiers, even if the people of Western Xinjiang blocked the river downstream, but it can only be said that the speed of the flood has slowed down, and it is now early winter, where will Yishui come from such a large amount of water?

The mystery of this is only clear to Luo Bingji, the people of Western Xinjiang have not moved for so long, it must be to store water while digging the dikes of those volcanic lakes, the first wave of flood offensive must come from the long-accumulated water flow of Yishui itself, and now the flood that should have been slowly decreasing not only did not fall, but has an upward trend, this must be the people of Western Xinjiang dug some of the dikes of the volcanic lakes and began to pour down the water of the volcanic lake, only in this way will the water level outside the city continue to rise, the purpose is very simple is to break down the city wall of the city that has been soaked for a day and a night, to cause panic to the people of Yanshan City, and force themselves to surrender。 However, in this case, although Luo Bingji knew the inside story, he was helpless, and he was trapped in the city and could not even step out of the city gate, so what else could he do? He had no other better way than to step up urging the soldiers to pay attention to precautions and prevent the city wall from collapsing, and the city wall was soaked in water for more than 20 miles, so who could guarantee the stability of every place in this situation? Luo Bingji, who had never believed in gods and ghosts, could only secretly pray that this kind of bad luck would not happen to him.

It's a pity that the more you don't want to see something, the more it will come, as the water level outside the city continues to rise, the amount of water continues to increase, and the flood that has calmed down after the first wave of the first wave on the first day has begun to stir, obviously the water flow from the upstream has brought new momentum, which has put great pressure on the walls of Yanshan Mansion City.

The surging waves of water continued to wash over the city wall, Luo Bingji watched the city walls begin to loosen and crack, and the city walls began to collapse softly, and countless rescue teams were mobilized, but this did not seem to prevent the occurrence of bad luck.

When a city wall in the west finally collapsed under the impact of a huge wave, the rescue team facing the waves finally failed to tie up the gap before the domino effect of the city wall, and the huge water pressure immediately tore the city wall next to the gap, and finally the wall collapsed one after another, and the surging flood finally roared into Yanshan City, debauchery raged in Yanshan City, no one could block its way, and the water level of the entire Yanshan City immediately rose to the same as outside the city, and fell into an ocean. The roaring flood swept away everything in the entire Yanshan Mansion city almost at once, whether it was ordinary people or gentry and nobles, no family could resist this almost natural disaster, the torrent stirring in the city swept away almost everything in the people, and more than 100,000 people shivered in this cold early winter wind.

Things have come to this point Luo Bingji knows that everything is irretrievable, the army has been completely reduced to a rescue team, in such weather, let alone fighting the enemy, it is already a kind of luck to be able to survive, turning to November, it is close to the freezing period, the biting flood is wrapped in a cold wind, Luo Bingji does not know how long this situation will last, but he knows that if this situation is allowed to continue, not many people can survive too long in this weather, whether it is ordinary people or army soldiers. Lacking the necessary preparations, everything they had had been swallowed up by the flood, there was no food, no means of heating, no clothing, nothing, everything was stuck in the water, and they had to withstand the almost freezing weather, who could carry it for how long in this situation? Not to mention the more than 100,000 Western Xinjiang troops outside the city!

Almost after communicating this, Luo Bingji didn't think about having other plans, no matter how he said that he was first a Tanghe person, and then a soldier, as a military man, he had done his best, and as a Tanghe person, he should naturally think about the sake of 100,000 villagers, fathers and elders, and if he persisted like this, it would be a disguised slaughter of the people in the city, of course, he was just an accomplice, and the real butchers should be Cheng Dayou and Li Wufeng.

Just when Luo Bingji fell into despair, Cheng Dayou, who was guarding the high places on the periphery of Yanshan Mansion City, was also anxiously waiting for the result, and the situation was not as smooth as he imagined, first of all, the amount of water in Yishui was very limited, almost two waves of water were emptied and the water that had been dammed for several days was emptied, and the amount of water in the volcanic lake was not as abundant as he estimated, in fact, after emptying the water in several volcanic lakes in a row, Cheng Dayou found that he also had some taste of poor donkey skills. The entire basin has almost become a swampy area, not to mention the war, even the action is difficult and abnormal, even if the city wall of Yanshan Mansion City was damaged by the flood, it seems that there is an opportunity, but now his army can only watch all this, the soft and muddy roads and land can swallow everything, in this case, it is also a whimsical thing to attack Yanshan Mansion City.

Maybe the only way is to wait, wait for the weather to clear up a little, and only wait for the ground to be a little drier before they can continue to move on to the next step, but in that case, will the northern army in Yanshan Mansion City have the ability to resurrect and reinforce the defense capability of Yanshan Mansion City in these few days? Cheng Dayou does not believe this, he hopes that Luo Bingji should have a wiser decision, no matter what angle he is in, it should be a matter of course to come forward and surrender to Chengcheng, if he still has reason and conscience. Although Cheng Dayou said that he would exchange the surnames of the gentry and nobles of Yanshan for the fall of Yanshan Mansion, he still had to have some scruples when he really implemented this vicious strategy. Even if you are a pure soldier, sometimes it is inevitable that you will be involved in some politics, even if you don't want to, but the phrase "people can't help themselves" is just as appropriate to describe these occasions.

When the white flag seeking surrender was raised above the city of Yanshan Mansion, Cheng Dayou almost couldn't believe his eyes, originally thought that this battle would take some twists and turns, but now it seems that the problem can finally be solved, Luo Bingji's reason has saved too many innocent soldiers and people. Regarding the conditions put forward by the envoy sent by Luo Bingji, Cheng Dayou agreed to it without changing a word. On November 22, 699 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, Yanshan was recovered, and Luo Bingji, the former commander of the Second Army of the Empire, led the soldiers of two divisions to conditionally hand over the control of Yanshan Mansion in Yanshan Mansion. This also marks that all the northern border prefectures and counties of the entire empire continent have been controlled by the western frontier, and from a certain point of view, it can also be said that Li Wufeng officially completed the unification war against the north on this day, because the entire northern part of the empire has been connected, and the border areas bordering foreign countries have all belonged to the western frontier.
