Su Can sat on the military tent in the middle of the army, high-fived and said: "This battle is fought happily, it is the strength of the generals, tonight, set up wine to celebrate!"

Before the words fell, a spy rushed into the tent in a hurry: "Young Master Su Can, it's not good!"

"What's wrong?" Su Can said unhappily.

He had just won the battle and was in a good mood, but he was naturally unhappy when he was so defeated, and secretly calculated in his heart that if it wasn't a big deal, he would immediately let this unknown little soldier be dragged out and beheaded.

"Report ...... Houzhai was attacked by a detachment led by Yang Bofu and has fallen!"

"What?" Su Can Huo Ran's color changed: "How is it possible? The back village is set up against the cliff, and there is only one sheep intestine trail to go up, and a husband should be a pass, and ten thousand people can't ......open it."

He had been slapped in the face now, but he couldn't be angry with the creep.

Houzhai is related to the safety of the grain road and the Ji Road, and once it falls, it has a lot to do with it.

When the generals in the tent heard the news, they all had complicated expressions.

The soldier who reported the news of the "......Nuggets" said breathlessly: "The enemy used the Nuggets to dig down the cliff and turn it into a ramp terrain, so they attacked it......"

Nuggets......

Su Can's heart sank.

There are many gold mines in Jing and Yizhou, so there are also gold diggers who are good at gold mining.

In war, these diggers become a sharp weapon, which can be used to dig tunnels, destroy mountains or city defenses, and be 100 times more efficient than ordinary sappers.

In the Nanjun War more than 30 years ago, Long Aotian's father, Long Zhanye, relied on the gold diggers to dig the mountain, causing a landslide in one fell swoop, flooding the city and breaking the seven coalition forces.

"What's going on in Houzhai?" Su Can's face was gloomy: "What about the sergeants and civilians guarding Houzhai? Could it be that the whole army has been wiped out?"

"Nope. A few were killed, most were driven away, and were pouring towards the main camp. ”

"Did Yang Bofu pursue?"

"Nope. ”

"Strange...... From that direction, it is impossible to break the main camp. Su Can was puzzled: "If the enemy does not annihilate the troops in the auxiliary battalion, what are he planning?"

Su Can's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"You get out. Su Can had a gloomy face and said, "Report in time, it is for merit, and you will be rewarded with five taels of silver." ”

The spy knelt down, received the reward, and Shane went out.

On the one hand, Su Can ordered to respond to and place the defeated soldiers who flocked to the camp, and on the other hand, he ordered the sentry to go down to observe the movements of the main force of the Shenxiao Army under the mountain.

As expected, Gu Taineng had given up the siege of Mizunokan and instead besieged Beishan, and mobilized a large number of militia to build stone walls and wooden fences and dig trenches at several major mountain passes.

This is true no matter the mountains in front of you and the mountains in the back.

The fall of the village made the exit and grain route of the back mountain also cut off by the Shenxiao army.

Before, Gu Tai was able to attack the mountain, but he retreated unfavorably under the obstruction of the fortifications. But now, if the Shentang army wants to break through, it will be blocked by Shenxiao's fortifications, and Shenxiao's soldiers only need to hide behind the fortifications and shoot arrows to block the movement of the Shentang army.

The offensive and defensive momentum is reversed in an instant!

The 6,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 militiamen of the shrine were all trapped on the North Mountain, where there was no water or food.

Although the siege of Mizunokan was resolved, the main force of the temple was caught in the net and had no way to escape.

"Hateful ......" Su Can muttered, "What a ruthless calculation." ”

"The enemy does not annihilate our army in the back village, but drives it up the mountain, precisely to speed up the consumption of drinking water and food, so that our army will collapse faster!"

His assumptions have been fully confirmed.

Gu Tai was able to attack the front of the camp with the main force, but it turned out to be just a strategy to lure the enemy, in order to contain the attention of the Shentang army.

If the head-on breakthrough is successful, of course, you can defeat the Shrine army with one blow. If it fails, it will rely on Yang Bofu's partial division to capture the sub-village behind the mountain, cut off the Shentang army's grain road, and besiege the army on the high mountain!

Hearing Su Can's analysis, Lin Xiuzhen's expression also changed greatly: "Gongzi Xinxing, how should this be?"

He looked like a god without a master, scurrying around in the tent, like an ant on a hot pot.

Su Can waved his hand to signal him to settle down: "Our army has enough food and can still support it for a while." Although the grain route was cut off, it was not a major danger. ”

"It's just drinking water,...... Lin Tonggu said, "Although it's winter now, there is no snow on the mountain, and you can......'t even boil snow for water."

Su Can supported himself with his hand: "Try to stabilize the morale of the army, so that the soldiers know that the food is still sufficient, and there is no need to panic." As for drinking water, you can collect frost and dew every morning, plus store water ......"

Lin Tonggu interrupted Su Can's words: "Even so, saving the use of stored water is only enough for five days. ”

Su Can was stunned and tried his best to calm himself down: "Then let the soldiers dig wells on the spot, as far as I know, there must be groundwater in this area." ”

Lin Xiuzhen turned surprised and complimented: "Childe is clever, in this way, the enemy's siege strategy will be completely useless." It's been delayed for a long time, and our morale has been exhausted, and we just went down the mountain to break it!"

The generals were ordered to follow the mountain and dig wells in many places.

But after all, on the high mountain, it is the dry season in winter, and when a well is dug down, it is all dry soil, and there is not a drop of water.

Seeing this, Su Can couldn't help but feel anxious.

Five days later, there was finally a chisel.

Throw the bucket in, and with a bang, clear well water will come up.

At this time, there was already a shortage of water in the camp, people were flustered, and the soldiers had many complaints, so Su Can could only try his best to suppress it.

Now that the well has been dug out, the sergeants can't help but cheer.

Although there was only one well, the water source was sufficient enough for the whole army to drink.

"Digging a well and producing water, it is the Martial Ancestor who blesses our army, which shows that our Divine Hall still has the destiny to break the enemy!" Su Can encouraged the soldiers: "Everyone be patient for a while, and when the time is right, we can go down the mountain to attack and kill them in a river of blood!"

Everyone also showed a look of convincing.

Isn't it the destiny of heaven that has been besieged and cut off water, but now there are wells and springs?

The next day, there was a report that the Shenxiao army was attacking again.

Su Can sneered: "If you don't come up in the few days when our army is short of water, but come here now, won't you come to die again?"

He led the army out of the village to meet the enemy.

Gu Taineng also led the army and set up a position on the hillside.

Yang Bo Fu Zhuo stood beside Gu Taineng, rubbing his long beard of Wuliu, and said in a long voice: "Please ask the other party master to come out and see him." ”

Its sound is yang and majestic, full of energy, shaking the mountains and valleys, reverberating endlessly.

Su Can came out of the crowd, his eyes were gloomy: "The strategy of encircling mountains and rivers is determined by General Yang Bofu, right?"

Yang Bofu smiled: "Yes, it's exactly below." However, looking at the description of the soldiers of the noble army, there seems to be no shortage of water. ”

Su Can said: "That's nature, God bless, our army's water reserves are suddenly blessed with divine power, and the drink is inexhaustible, you old horseman didn't expect it, right?"

Yang Bofu gently dusted his sleeves: "Good, very good." ”

Su Can said loudly: "Now that our army has drunk enough water, is full of energy, and has a high fighting spirit, but you want to sneak attack at this time, it is really a mistake." I can't say that I want to kill you without leaving a piece of armor. ”

Yang Bofu stroked his beard and smiled: "Su Can's son is young and ambitious. ”

There was a hint of sarcasm in these words, but Su Can didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, so he could only sneer.

Yang Bofu continued: "It's just that Gongzi asked someone to take a look at your well, I wonder if there is any water to drink tomorrow?"

Su Can's expression changed slightly, but then he calmed down: "The old man is talking nonsense, and the hearts of our army will not be moved by you." ”

Yang Bofu said quietly: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, why not send someone to take a look?"

Su Can pursed his lips: "It's okay, let people find out the truth and kill your old horseman's spirit!"

This is already an acknowledgment, and it is not some divine water from heaven, but by a well.

But the news from the rear made Su Can even more thundered!

The water level of the well has dropped inexplicably and rapidly, and it is expected that in less than half an hour, there will be no more buckets of water!"

Yang Bofu stroked his palms and laughed: "Idiot! I have the skill of watching mountains, since I can break your back camp and dig up the water source, why is it difficult?"
