Rushui made a bend here, and then continued to the southeast, and the Wengang Gate was more than a mile below, where a fortress stood not a city, but in the form of a fortress.

The Nanyang army had firmly besieged the place, and the fierce fighting for many days had left both sides a little exhausted.

Wengang Gate is a defensive village specially built by Caizhou, although it is slightly inferior to the city wall-type city, but this evenly distributed and equipped with a large number of catapults, strong crossbows, car crossbows and other weapons of the echelon defense formation, or let the Nanyang army, which has not experienced this kind of hard battle for a long time, suffer enough.

The fierce battle has entered the most difficult stage of stalemate, relying on strong troops and abundant logistics support, although the offensive is constantly destroyed by the other side, but the Nanyang army still established an advantage.

The rest is just time, and it will be a matter of how long the Caizhou army stationed here can hold out, unless it gets reinforcements from the Caizhou army in Ruyang City, which is exactly what the Nanyang army wants.

Ma Ershan leaned on the wooden pillar on the trestle with a spear in his arms a little lazily, and looked boredly at the Nanyang Army cavalry hundreds of steps away on the opposite side.

This area is all quagmire, except for the ridge land that is high, even if the Nanyang cavalry is arrogant, it will not be able to cross this line.

Three catapults and two bed crossbows on the fortified fort sealed this ridge that was only twenty steps wide, and if you want to break through here, you have to pay the price of blood, and as long as the Nanyang army dares to attack with a large army, the lower fort can be reinforced by a large army at any time.

However, Ma Ershan also knew that the purpose of the Nanyang Cavalry coming here was to monitor his side and prevent the concave water mouth from being dug up.

However, Ma Ershan scoffed at this style of the Nanyang Cavalry, and he didn't want to think about it, his own camp was also down there, and if it was really going to be flooded, wouldn't it be that even his own fortress would be flooded?

The amount of Rushui in the dry season is still not small, which has a lot to do with too many ponds, rivers, lakes and marshes upstream.

In the dry season, the water level in the Rushui river drops, and the water in these lakes and marshes and ponds is slowly replenished and flows into the Rushui, so that the Rushui can always maintain a certain water level.

Ma Ershan yawned, lazily glanced at the river again, the river was still empty, there were already more ice slags on the riverside in winter, and occasionally some wintering wild things would wander around the riverside, which made the whole river a little more angry.

Returning to the opposite side, several brothers on the high base were stamping their feet cold, and the chief was carefully checking the ropes and components of the catapult to prevent them from freezing and damage due to water.

It's another boring day, but Ma Ershan is very satisfied, if you go down to the fortress, you have to face the non-stop attack of the Nanyang army every day, although the scale is large or small, but everyone knows that if there are no reinforcements in Ruyang City, Wengang Gate will not be able to hold.

After a period of continuous fighting of 5,000 troops, there are now only more than 3,000 people left, and most of them are wounded, of course, Nanyang also paid a heavy price, Ma Ershan doesn't know how to count, but it is estimated that there must be hundreds of corpses carried down every day, right?

In winter, it gets dark early, and it slowly darkens at ten o'clock in the unitary hour, Ma Ershan said hello to a brother next to him who was still stamping his hands and feet, and was ready to hand over the shift.

Over there, the Nanyang Army seemed to be on shift, and a group of cavalry troops left one after another, replaced by a team of foot soldiers, set up a shelf, and even lit a fire.

This situation has lasted for almost a month, and everyone was still a little nervous at first, but over time everyone got used to it, that is, to monitor each other, no one wants to make a fuss on Shuikou, but then again, to make a fuss on Shuikou, there are not hundreds of people who work day and night for a night or two, who can dig up?

A few brothers who were still wrapped in their shoulders and arms came up, all of them were injured when they fought against the Nanyang army on the lower fort, but they could still hold on, and it was a good thing to be transferred to this side to guard the water mouth, at least it was much better than not seeing the sun the next day below.

Ma Dapei moved his body and glared at his cousin, who was still a little lazy, Ma Ershan quickly tightened his body, straightened his chest, and went down in turn under the gaze of his cousin.

Ma Dapei is also helpless against this cousin, when he was living in the countryside, he was a lazy and lazy goods, and he finally became a soldier to eat food, but he never suffered hardship, so he dragged it on, if he didn't take care of it himself, he was afraid that he would have eaten military law a long time ago.

In the first half of the night tonight, it is my own team on duty, although it is unlikely that the Nanyang army will attack from here at night, because even if it is taken here, it will not have much impact on Dazhai a mile away, but the ballista and strong crossbow on the high platform on Dazhai can condescendingly give a direct blow to the unsheltered place here, and the people of Nanyang are not so stupid.

But not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of what if, Nanyang people have been trapped here for some days, and the continuous tug-of-war has made both sides a little unbearable, although the Nanyang army has the advantage, but if you want to take Wengang Zha Dazhai at once, it is also a fantasy.

Ma Dapei took a deep breath and motioned for a few soldiers under him to take their places, and the big guys took turns to keep watch, and after a while, they had to light the torches and lampstands.

After a moment of silent calculation, with a wave of his hand, the two boats began to row silently along the east bank of Rushui.

To reach your destination, you first need to go around the Wengang Gate to the upper reaches of the Rushui River, and then slide down the upstream until you reach the water inlet.

According to the news fed back from the scouts, both the Caizhou Army and the Nanyang Army have a small number of troops stationed at this Shuikou to be responsible for surveillance, ranging in number from one or twenty to thirty or fifty people.

When the two boats finally approached Shuikou Ridge according to the predetermined plan, Jiang Feng realized that the situation might not be as simple as he had guessed before.

There is a high base built in the middle of the ridge, three catapults and two bed crossbows on the high base are facing the ridge, this is under control, the key is that there is a high platform at the rear, the lampstand hanging high on the high platform is filled with lamp oil, and obviously blessed the magic, far better than the ordinary oil lamp, not only windproof, but also the entire radius of thirty zhang is illuminated transparently.

A few soldiers on the edge of the high platform were talking while their eyes were also patrolling the river, and the gongs were hanging on three sides behind them, ready to ring at any time.

Although these guys can't be said to be very serious, it is difficult to avoid the sight of these guys in such an unobstructed situation.

The ship came to a halt close to the shore, and it was at least two miles away from here, and even if it was at the level of Jiang Feng, Ding Man, and Ju Hui, there was no guarantee that they would approach each other without alarming these guards.

Deng Guinian and Xu Jing were so nervous that they almost held their breath, and they had reached the last moment, but they found an insurmountable obstacle.

Killing the past directly can certainly solve the problem, but when the warning signal is issued, once the Caizhou army in Wengangzha wakes up, it will inevitably affect the Nanyang army outside, even if the water system magic array is launched here, and the embankment is burst and the water is released, there is still a period of time in between, and it is difficult to say whether the best effect can be achieved.

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, his eyes wandered, and the eyes of Ding Man, Guo Yue, Huang Anjin and Su Tie all fell on him.

"How long has it been like this, the Caizhou Army and the Nanyang Army have been monitoring each other?"

"It's been like this for one or two decades, everyone is at peace with each other, and they don't interfere with each other, it just plays a monitoring role, as long as the water mouth ridge is not moved, everyone has been so deadlocked. ”

Cycad swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this high platform was obviously just built, and the use of this magic flame lamp was very unexpected, and it was also something that the scout had not mastered before.

"It's too late for us to think of anything else. Jiang Feng took a deep breath, stared at the high platform in front of him, and then looked at the Nanyang Army bonfire on the shore over there.

"I can only take a risk, Aman, you and the cycads take a few people over, go ashore from the front, go around, and get rid of the Nanyang Army, remember, from now on, you have to estimate the time, me and Xiao Guo, go into the water from here, dive over to the ridge, you observe the action on the high platform here, as long as they don't move, you have to pretend to be drunk and fight inside, attract their attention, and wait until I and An Jin start it!"

Ding Man nodded knowingly, "I understand what the adults mean is that we want to use this way to attract the attention of the Caizhou military police post, and to make the formation not too big and let the Caizhou military police whistle sound the gold alarm?"

Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction: "That's what it means, you have to grasp the scale." ”

"An Jin, Hui Niang, you and Gui Nian, Jing Niang, as soon as we launched, they immediately rowed down, to the edge of the ridge to hurry up and set up the formation, we don't have much time, we must complete the layout in the shortest possible time, and at the same time to ensure the power of the spell, to ensure that the water can be completely washed away, so that the river can quickly wash down the entire ridge, quickly discharge ,......"

At this time, no one will raise any questions and additions, everything is variable, and the rest is up to you to deal with it on the spot.

"Do you have anything else to add?" Jiang Feng glanced around, and saw that Ding Man, Guo Yue, Huang Anjin and others all shook their heads, Ju Hui wanted to say something, but he still shook his head, but the concern in his eyes made Jiang Feng's heart warm.

The relationship between himself and Ju Rui seems to have been getting tighter and tighter in this life-and-death struggle, and even beyond communicating in superfluous words, sometimes a look is enough to explain everything else.

It's just that this time there was one more Xu Jing, and he subconsciously turned his head, but saw that Xu Jing's pale cheeks were also full of concern, but he saw Jiang Feng looking over, which made Xu Jing's cheeks also slightly red.

As if he understood what Jiang Feng meant, Xu Jing nodded lightly.

"Let's get moving!" (To be continued.) )
