Chapter 448: Digging Dikes and Water Attack

Sure enough, Zhu Di also sat down after walking to the handsome case, and then glanced at everyone very seriously,

"Ladies and gentlemen, this king kindly wanted to recruit Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan, who were guarding the city, but they didn't give me face and didn't even give me an answer, so there was no other way but to attack."

"Please give orders to your Highness!"

Everyone was waiting for this sentence and were eager to try.

Zhu Di still nodded solemnly and said,

"Very well, so who wants to fight this most important battle for the vanguard?"

"Huh?"

Hearing him say this, the generals were also stunned, because according to their understanding of Zhu Di, His Royal Highness would definitely personally lead the troops to supervise the battle, but he didn't expect that he would hand over the task of the vanguard to others, and let everyone sign up by themselves.

Originally, Zhang Yu wanted to speak, but found that under King Yan's serious expression, there seemed to be some kind of childlike cunning hidden, so he didn't make a sound, and when he saw that Zhu Neng was about to speak, he pulled him in time.

Of course, this small action was seen by Zhu Di, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, this time, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng were even more sure that His Royal Highness King Yan must have some "conspiracy", and the two of them couldn't respond.

The other generals looked at each other, and Qiu Fu thought for a moment and said,

"Your Highness, if you don't give up, I will be willing to take on this responsibility."

"Okay, who else wants to be with General Qiu?"

Zhu Di looked at everyone with encouraging eyes, and suddenly turned his eyes to Zhu Gaoxu,

"Gao Xu, why don't you go and be General Qiu's deputy general, you are originally his subordinate."

"Ahh

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, but nodded happily.

In fact, the reason why Qiu Fu asked for an order was because he lost the battle of Baigou River last time, and almost caused His Royal Highness King Yan to be captured, although Zhu Di did not blame anyone after that battle, but after all, he felt uneasy and blamed himself in his heart. But now seeing that His Royal Highness still sent his son to him as a lieutenant general, he was immediately very excited, and hurriedly got up and saluted,

"The last general will definitely live up to His Highness's trust this time!"

"The king knows,"

Zhu Di's eyes showed a touch of softness, saying,

"General Qiu doesn't have to have too much pressure, just do it with all your heart."

Then he looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said,

"Didn't you already agree to be a pioneer? Hurry to the craftsman camp, order 300 craftsmen, and then go to the Daqing River and start digging the embankment adjacent to Jinan City. ”

"Huh? Digging a river? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned when he heard this, looked at his father in disbelief and asked,

"What are you digging a river for?! Didn't you let me be the vanguard to attack Jinan City? Why did you let me dig the river again? ”

"Yes, your father and I said that the attack on Jinan is true, but there are various ways to attack the city, isn't it?"

Zhu Di involuntarily glanced at Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, smiled, and continued,

"So this time the king wants to flood the way and have a water attack, which is better than letting thousands of soldiers die."

"Water Attack?!"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it,

"What kind of water attack do you use, it's only fun to kill it directly!"

"Less fuss!"

Zhu Di glared at him and said,

"Isn't he Shengyong and Tie Xuan not descending? I'll soak him in the water of the Daqing River, and I'll see how long they can last!" ”

"I'm not going, Dad,"

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on the chair on the side angrily and said,

"Who can't do such a thing as releasing water! Why do you have to let me go? ”

"That's right, it's true that everyone else can do it, so why can't it be you?"

Zhu Di kicked at the chair he was sitting on and said,

"Are you going kid or not? If you don't go, go back to your tent now and pack up your things and get back to Beiping for me!" If you don't obey the general's order, what use do you want in the barracks! ”

"I, I ......"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced up at Zhu Di, and saw that his father's face was pale, so he had to stand up and say,

"Okay, okay, who made me your son, three hundred soldiers and craftsmen, I'll go to the head office."

After speaking, with a look of reluctance, he turned around and walked out of the big tent.

Zhu Di looked at his back, scolded "this bastard boy", and then called Qiu Fudao,

"Qiu Fu, you go and watch him, and the most important thing is not to dig too much of the river embankment, after all, there are not many people in the city, but the momentum must be made louder, and it can be found in the city, and it can play a role in making them feel afraid."

"The Admiral understands."

Qiu Fu nodded, took orders, and then left the tent.

Turning around and looking at the generals who were looking at each other, Zhu Di smiled,

"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? ”

"Your Highness,"

Tan Yuan couldn't help but ask,

"Are you really going to do it with water? Don't use it any other way? ”

"Of course it's true,"

Zhu Di nodded seriously and said,

"All parts of this area belong to us, and this is the only place left, but it is the most important place. It would be nice if I could take it without a sword, so I still want to fight for it, and it's best if they can submit to me. If it's really stubborn, then you can only attack. ”

"Oh, but in that case, what are we going to do?"

Tan Yuan continued to ask.

Zhu Di looked at everyone again, and then said with a smile,

"Accompany the king to Jinan outside the city to see the excitement, when the water floods, what kind of reaction will there be in the city, it is really curious."

Looking at the childlike expression he showed in an instant, all the generals couldn't help but laugh along......

In this way, under the leadership of Zhu Di, the generals came to a high slope outside Jinan City, looking into the city and watching the movement on the other side of the embankment.

Not to mention, Zhu Gaoxu's movements were really fast, and the waiting time was not long, the hundreds of craftsmen and soldiers came to the river embankment under his leadership, and in an instant, the military flag fluttered, and the shouts shook the sky, everyone rolled up their sleeves and picked up the tools in their hands high, and began to dig the embankment of the Daqing River.

In fact, according to Zhu Gaoxu's intentions, wouldn't it be more convenient to simply use the captured fire and thunder to blow up the river embankment, thanks to Qiu Fu's obstruction, he was not allowed to do so.

First of all, fire and thunder are still very precious after all, and it is simply wasted to use them in this kind of thing; Second, it is necessary to do it by bombing, because if the number is not controlled, the entire embankment will be destroyed, and in that case, it will be a headache to build it later. What's more, Zhu Di had already instructed that digging the river embankment was just to scare the defenders in the city, not really wanting to soak the entire city of Jinan in water.

And there was a commotion here, and the southern soldiers in the city had already been moved, and they immediately reported to the two guards, and the two were stunned when they heard it, and hurriedly climbed the city tower to look at the Yan army on the opposite side.

The first thing I saw was the generals of the Yan army who were standing on a high place, led by King Yan, and I saw them looking at the city leisurely, without any tension at all.
