Chapter 719: The Secret Method of Victory
Since Lin Ye left Free City, he had made a beeline for Misty City on the western front of the Empire, and he had arrived at the Misty River ten days earlier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, instead of appearing in front of the soldiers, he hid and was active in the upper reaches of the Misty River to carry out a plan.
During these ten days, he commanded a detachment of engineers to begin intercepting the flow upstream, which was difficult to do in the turbulent current.
But fortunately, there was a loop of deep water in the upper reaches, and Lin Ye found it accurately, and began to let the soldiers fill their pockets with sand.
After nailing the stakes, hundreds of thousands of pockets filled with sand blocked the river, allowing the water to accumulate and rise all the time.
It is precisely because of the interruption of the upstream that the water level in the downstream has dropped, and of course it is impossible to stop the raging river.
All Lin Ye has to do is to raise the water level upstream to a certain height, and the river will still flow downstream after the water exceeds the amount of water that has been stored.
"My lord, the people of the Bright Crusade have successfully landed, and now there are about 10,000 people in the vanguard of the landing, and there are still thousands of people on the way to cross the river, and the large army is still waiting to cross the river on the other side of the river, should we start acting now? Let them taste our strength!"
With a torch in his hand, Cruve stood on the hillside and looked down from afar, and could see a large number of fires burning in the valley along the riverbank.
It was the torch raised by the soldiers of the Bright Crusader, especially on the river, where hundreds of light boats carried soldiers back and forth across the river.
"No, wait, it's not yet time, it's not enough to deal a devastating blow to them, wait a little longer, wait until the number of soldiers crossing the river reaches about 30,000, that's the time to act, soon, it will be able to do this soon, you must be patient. ”
Lin Ye waved his hand to signal Kruf and the others to wait patiently, and he kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down a little, but his whole body was still trembling.
Although it was raining and the night was cold, he was not frozen at all, nor was he afraid or excited.
It was an indescribable emotion, after all, he knew very well what he was going to do next, and it was not as simple as winning the war.
It was a very cruel way of drowning to bury tens of thousands of people in his next order, and it was a very cruel way of drowning, which made his conscience uneasy.
"To be able to come up with such a way, the adults are really powerful, it doesn't take much effort at all, they can easily defeat them, why can't I think of such a good way, they are really unlucky to meet adults, and in the end I am afraid they don't even know how to die. ”
Crouff was excited, he had thought that there would be a bloody battle on this side, and he was ready to go into battle to kill the enemy himself.
That's a full 100,000 troops, and if you convert it into an integrated legion, that's a full 50 legions!
However, seeing the surging river at this time, Crouff has reason to believe that once the water is put down, the other party will definitely suffer a devastating blow!
"There is no power of gods in this world at all, if there is one, it is the power of nature, which is indeed terrifying, no matter how powerful the army, such as Chen Qingzhi and his 7,000 white-robed army that swept through the north during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, were destroyed in a flash flood. ”
Lin Ye shook his head slightly, his face was not good-looking, it was a difficult decision for him, but he still had to make a choice after all.
"My lord, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, what are you talking about, you suddenly speak some language that you don't understand, I am completely confused, my lord, do you think it is time to start moving? Judging from the range of the torches, a small half of them have already crossed the river. ”
Crouff couldn't understand the strange language that Lin Ye said unexpectedly, and he was a little puzzled for a while, but he was quickly relieved and didn't think much about it.
No matter what the Duke does or says, he must have his reasons, all he has to do is obey orders.
At this moment, his eyes were fixed on the valley area, although his vision was blurred at night, and he could not see the appearance of the Crusader soldiers.
However, based on the scale of the torches, a certain judgment can still be made, and it is obvious that it is now under the conditions for Lin Ye to launch an attack.
"It's nothing, it's just talking to myself, sometimes it's a little lonely to be alone in the hands of something that doesn't fit in with this world, but that's not important, in order to avoid more deaths, I can only use this method to win, I'm very sorry. ”
Lin Ye glanced apologetically at the river valley, he sighed softly, and finally waved his hand, and turned away from the vicinity of the river.
"Now the flood is about to be opened, my lord, you should immediately go to a high place to take refuge, the movement will definitely not be small, if you get too close, I am afraid that there will be danger, these guys who dare to open our empire now, in this great flood to repent of your sins, break the embankment!"
After Crouff sent someone to send Lin Ye to a high place, he immediately carried out Lin Ye's order, and asked the sappers to start breaking the embankment and putting the water down.
As soon as the sappers received the order, they dropped the pre-prepared traps, and a hole began to appear in the sandbags, which were already very barely blocked.
This opening seems to be insignificant compared to the whole project, but as long as there is a breakthrough, the raging river will tilt over.
Standing in the position of the forest leaves, you can see that these sandbags are instantly washed away by the flood water that bursts the embankment, the ground begins to tremble, and there is a "boom" sound in your ears.
The whole person's footsteps were a little uncertain, and the flood that had been imprisoned for several days was like a fierce beast, rushing downstream, the earth was trembling, as if infected by the flash flood, the rain also became heavier, and there was lightning in the sky, which was shocking.
The soldiers of the Bright Crusade who were crossing the river downstream were unaware of this, even if Odyssey was aware of it and shouted a warning.
But how could Gregor, who was immersed in the joy of victory at this time, listen to him? Now Gregor is already dreaming of becoming pope.
"It seems that the empire is just like that, I really don't understand how that guy Alfonso could run back in such a mess, but he is a waste, how can the waste compare to me? As long as the empire is defeated, no one can compete with me, what is the Pope?"
Gregor was ambitious, he wasn't the type to be subordinate, and he smiled smugly as he looked in the direction of the royal capital to the east.
Unaware of the fact that a beast was approaching behind him, until the earth shook and the mountains shook, and a rumbling sound resounded in his ears.
The soldiers realized it and subconsciously looked back.
"What's going on? Flood?"
