"Leave him alone, let the sons and daughters have a good rest, lay down the back of the green dragon tomorrow, and then settle accounts with the king thief before it's too late."

For a whole day, Wang Fuchen kept shouting under Li Zicheng's nose, once the Shun army was out of the camp, he took the way of fighting, flying the kite of the Shun cavalry, which made the army hold a bad breath, but there was no place to vent, Li Zicheng was also troubled, so he simply got off the enemy platform, and Wang Fuchen shouted and screamed outside the camp.

"King Chuang, our army is camped in Zhuxian Town, and we must beware of Shandong thieves blowing up the embankment and attacking our camp with water."

Song Xiance was faintly a little uneasy, it stands to reason that the main force of the party has been in Zhuxian Town, the Shandong army is not stable to defend the camp, and it dares to provoke so much, this is a bit unreasonable, after all, there are thousands of cannons already in front of the Shandong army, once the war starts, it is ten thousand artillery shots, under this powerful firepower, how can the Shandong army hold the back of the green dragon?

"Mr. Song is too worried, if it is the spring flood season, Gu is still a little worried, now it is just spring, the water level of the Jialu River is not high, even if they blow up the embankment, it will not have any impact on us."

Li Zicheng has been in the army for more than ten years, and he still has this common sense, and before he arrived in Zhuxian Town, he also deliberately observed the water level of the Jialu River, and knew that the water level was shallow, even if the embankment had collapsed, and he had no interest in the Shun army.

As Li Zicheng thought, at this time, on the embankment of the Jialu River, Liu Guoneng and other generals of the Jingbei Army were all at a loss to look at the Jialu River with a very low water level.

"Build a dam to store water, collect all the people who are with us in the army, and tell them that as long as the Jialu River is cut off today, the commander will be rewarded, one or two silver per person."

Unlike other Ming troops, the Jingbei Army's requisitioned people were paid, and each person not only served lunch and dinner every day, but also had 20 big money per person, such treatment was already extremely high in such a troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and now in order to resist Li Zicheng's army, Wang Zhong issued an additional reward.

From ancient times to the present, the wisdom and strength of the Chinese people are endless, when they heard that each person had one or two silver to take, more than 4,000 people with the army were completely boiling, this trip with the officers and soldiers was too worthwhile, not to mention the rice grain, who would have thought that they could take one or two halves of silver home.

One tael of silver can only buy half a stone of rice in Shandong, which is nothing compared to the gentry class, but for ordinary people, this may be their income for three months or even half a year.

Therefore, after Wang Zhong's order, the people who accompanied the army were thunderous, and those craftsmen who could work as carpenters volunteered to come forward.

As a tributary of the canal, the Jialu River is about 20 zhang wide, if the water is turbulent in the summer, it is indeed difficult to build a dam to isolate the waterway, but at the time of the confluence of winter and spring, the water level of the Jialu River is only more than ten feet deep, and the real width is only seven or eight zhang.

Under the command of the carpenter, the men who accompanied the army brought a large number of trees, and then tied them together with hemp rope to form a wooden fence about ten zhang long.

Some of the people filled sacks with sacks of dirt, and when the wooden fence was inserted into the water, they would throw the sacks filled with mud along the wooden wall into the water.

In order to prevent being discovered by the Shun army, Wang Zhong also deliberately chose the location of the dam more than ten miles away from the Qinglongbei camp, and at the same time ordered Li Chengdong to send people to prepare gunpowder, intending to fill the on the left bank of the Jialu River by night.

Wang Fuchen provoked for a whole day, but it still had some effect, at least the Shun army scouts were all blocked in the camp, so that the Shun army in the Zhuxian Town camp could only rely on the watchtower to observe the enemy situation, and this consequence led to Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin and other Shun army generals not finding that the Jingbei army was building embankments in the barrage.

Thousands of people moved at the same time, and the water level of the Jialu River was shallow, so the embankment was completed before the end of the night, but because it was a dry season, the speed of water storage was not very fast, and the Jingbei army that tried to blow up the embankment could only wait for the water level to rise.

The next day, the camp of the Shun army sounded the earth-shattering sound of drums and cannons, and the desolate sound of bull horns.

Although Wang Zhong was prepared in his heart, he was still secretly frightened, and hurriedly led the generals to the Qinglongbei Command Heights, and ordered Li Chengdong to check the water storage of the Jialu River.

As the saying goes, "There are tens of thousands of people, and there is no boundary." After Wang Zhong and the others looked at the Shunjun formation a few miles away from Qinglong's back, they couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.

As far as the eye can see, there are black and oppressive human heads in front of them, and countless Shun troops are divided into eight neat large arrays, and the front of the large array is full of various shield vehicles, rushing vehicles, wells and other attacking weapons.

In addition, all the guns were torn open to reveal their swarthy muzzles, and they were arranged in three formations behind the large formation.

Li Zicheng showed his prestige, and even ordered someone to build a three-zhang high general platform, and his royal flag was erected high on the general platform, Li Zicheng stood under the royal flag with a group of relatives in full armor, and the rest of the generals Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang and other Shun generals wore armor one by one, and looked at the earthen gang in front of him with murderous anger.

"Send someone to tell that Wang Zhong that if he can repent and lead his troops to vote, he will be named the Duke of Yuguo and hereditary replacement, which is better than him following Li Xingzhi to be a Laoshzi Admiral!"

Looking at the military array in front of him, Li Zicheng's heart was surging, these people were his soldiers, and they were all his capital.

"King Chuang, the last general heard that Wang Zhong is Li Xingzhi's hardcore cronies, how can he be appeased by my Dashun? According to intelligence, now the traitor Gao Jie is on the back of the green dragon, and that is your life and death enemy! ”

Others dare not improve Jie, Liu Zongmin, the second person in the Shun Army who has followed Li Zicheng for more than ten years, still dares to say it, of course, it is impossible for him to tell Gao Jie about cuckolding Li Zicheng in public.

"Hehe, Lone appeases them just to divide the hearts of his soldiers, Wang Zhong wants to be loyal to Li Xingzhi, and his soldiers may not be willing to bury him, as for Gao Jie, Lone said that he would spare him."

After saying that, Li Zicheng suddenly raised his sword, only to see the Shunjun army suddenly separate, and several knights "da, da, da......" galloped towards the back of the green dragon.

Wang Zhong saw that there were few of them, and immediately waved his hand to stop the soldiers who were waiting to shoot arrows, he wanted to see what tricks Li Zicheng was playing.

Suddenly

The knights of the Shun army rushed to the foot of Qinglonggang and shouted to the defenders on the post: "By the order of the king general, there is a book to send to Wang Shuai, the governor of Henan." ”

"Let them up."

Wang Zhong didn't expect Li Zicheng to appease him, and considering that the water level of the Jialu River was not yet full, in order to confuse Li Zicheng, he immediately ordered the left and right to open the road and let the Shunjun envoy take up his post.

After the envoy took up his post, he bowed down to Wang Zhong and said: "Wang Shuai, since the king of my family went out of Luoshan, Kenanyang, Xinyang, Xuzhou, Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian, the governors of the five provinces, have been defeated, and the world is invincible. ”
