? Chapter 373: Yunqing Mountain Floods Xichuan
When the several improvised ladders pushed up turned into several large torches, and the officers and soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion who had been retreated were burning under the city, there were bursts of cheers on the city, and the corresponding was the drum noise of the soldiers in the Fengzi Battalion under the city.
This is also too embarrassing, I didn't even 'touch' the edge of the city wall, and I was chased back like this, this kind of thing, so that the soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion, who have always been very proud, are very dissatisfied, these brothers, such a poor combat power, don't you send them, if you change yourself, you can't beat these grandsons to death!
"Not bad!" Yun Qingshan nodded, he could see it clearly from the clairvoyant mirror, although it seemed that the Fengzi Battalion's offensive had been frustrated and he returned in embarrassment, saying that it was not too much to say that he had lost his armor, but this person had not lost much. It seems that the execution of these thousands of generals is quite high.
Bows and arrows, falling rocks, well, and the big iron pot with firewood on the wall, which was either boiling oil or poisonous water. Yun Qingshan is between this advance and retreat, and he has already seen the other party's means of defending the city, and the other party is just making great efforts to fight to the death with the Fengzi camp!
Such a trend, don't lose some lives, don't want to climb to their city. Thinking of Yu Feng's words, Yun Qingshan's brows furrowed, if he took this city regardless of the casualties, when the time came, where would he have enough combat power to deal with the Tartars who were now using knives against the Western Route Army, the number of the Western Route Army was almost the same as his current number, if the enemy could deal with the Western Route Army, wouldn't he be able to deal with him?
Persuasion? This seems to be a 'chicken' and a duck, so there is no need to consider this. Siege and starve them to death? Too late? Yun Qingshan fell into deep thought, how to use the minimum price, in the shortest time, those Xichuan, for him, this is indeed a test.
The other party has such a wide moat, even if you dig a tunnel, you can't dig directly into the city, wait, moat? He raised the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and carefully looked at the moat under the city wall again, the river was four or five feet long, and the water was turbulent. During the battle just now, some arrows and debris that fell on the city wall were no longer visible in the river at this moment, and I don't know where they were washed away.
Yun Qingshan has seen the Tartars attack the city, how to deal with the moat, at that time in Pyongyang, the Tartars directly drove the people to brave the rain of arrows to fill the river with soil bags, and even later, the corpses of those people also became the material to fill the moat, in this regardless of the cost and casualties, the Tartars sent their siege equipment to the city wall, although they were invented by the adults to defend the city and other new methods of defending the city, but, After all, they succeeded in bringing these instruments to the edge of the city.
However, Tartar can do this, he can't do it, even if he can be so cold-blooded, there are not enough people to let him squander like this, the people near Xichuan are either caught in Xichuan City, or they escaped early, in this regard, Tartar is much more professional than Fengzi Battalion.
"Tao Zhen!"
"The subordinates are here!"
A general stepped forward, Langton captured Xincheng Port, and besieged Xincheng, it was a great shame for Yun Qingshan, no one would regard being surrounded and waiting for rescue as a glorious thing, but even if it was such a battle, he was not without gain, Tao Zhen in front of him was a member of the generals who stood out in that battle and was discovered by him. But Tao Zhen, who is just a supernumerary militiaman, is now a hundred households directly under him, and everyone looks like a wooden one, but only those who have been in contact with him know what kind of person he is under this wooden face.
"You take people and go along the river to see where the water in this moat comes from, how big it is, how the embankment is, whether it is guarded or not, you have to 'figure out'!"
"Understood!"
Tao Zhen's answer was as concise and to the point as all the officers of the Fengzi Battalion, and, adhering to the excellent tradition of the Fengzi Battalion, he carried out orders without asking for reasons.
What Lord Yun wants, what he plans, that's his business, and his own business is to complete Lord Yun quickly and efficiently. Tao Zhen understands very well that in the collective of Fengziying, everyone has their own position, everyone has their own duty, and doing their duty well in this collective will be respected, and there will be opportunities to be promoted.
Less than two hours after Yun Qingshan's order, Tao Zhen brought back the news he wanted.
"Unattended? River water directly into the moat? "Yun Qingshan was discussing the troop allocation of the defenders on various sections of the city wall with the thousands of households attacking the city today, and when he heard the news, he immediately couldn't sit still, and the excitement on his face was overflowing.
"No, I have to go and see for myself, you all come with me, Tao Zhen, you lead the way in front!"
What is this going to do? Thousands of households looked at each other, this river is not broken if you want to, if Lord Yun wants to rely on the soldiers to cut off the river to dry up the moat, this is a little too whimsical, this is living water!
With such doubts in mind, everyone turned over and rode on their horses and followed Tao Zhen and Yun Qingshan, who were leading the way in front, and behind them, a group of cavalry, transferred from the flanks, guarded their safety.
After less than half an hour, everyone came to the riverside, the river water from north to south, flowing endlessly, after the flood season, you can still see such a river, it is also a miracle, there is no doubt, this river is a tributary, and Heecheon because of this river, there are countless fertile fields, become one of the few big cities in the north of Korea.
"I asked a few local people who couldn't leave, this is Xishui, a tributary of the Qingchuan River, as long as the Qingchuan River continues to flow, the amount of water in this Xishui has always been very sufficient, and the moat with it is directly who is led from here, and if you go a mile or two, you can see the ditch dug by the Tartars!"
Tao Zhen walked while introducing what he knew to Yun Qingshan, he provided information, Yun Qingshan was responsible for making decisions, and both of them were doing their own things.
"So, the terrain here is higher than the entire city of Xichuan?" After hearing this, Yun Qingshan asked coldly.
"Yes, my subordinates have not found any water diversion equipment all the way, this Xishui is indeed higher than Xichuan, otherwise, this water will not lead to the city!"
"Let's go, take me to the ditch they dug and have a look!"
Several thousands of households glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little shocked, Lord Yun asked, this is not to cut off the other party's water flow, when it comes to the terrain, is it ...... Want to flood Heecheon?
This is a big fuss, look at this Xishui, once the embankment is opened, the flooding is not only Xichuan, at least within this hundred miles, it will become a piece of Zeguo, the sin that is a little big, these thousands of households, there are displaced people in the south of the Yangtze River, there are military households in Shandong, there are refugees in Liaodong, in short, they are all from a bitter background, rich and noble, almost nothing, everyone has seen a catastrophe, starvation all over the field, but they are in it, and they create a disaster with their own hands, that is completely different things!
"Lord Yun, is this going to flood Xichuan?" Standing on the embankment, seeing Yun Qingshan's face 'showing' a satisfied smile, a thousand households, asked a little rashly.
"Can you find a way to break the city in the shortest possible time without our army being damaged?" Yun Qingshan didn't answer his question, but asked rhetorically.
The thousand households were speechless for a moment, but seeing that Yun Qingshan had no displeasure on his face, he boldly asked, "Is there a heavier killing?" ”
"The kindness of the 'woman'!" The smile on Yun Qingshan's face gradually faded: "Ci is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth." I hope you will remember this sentence now, and you will also firmly remember in the future, if we can only choose the 'sex' life of the soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion and the 'sex' life of the Tartars in the city and those people who are being coerced, I think, you all know how to choose! ”
Everyone was awe-inspiring.
"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs, if it is because of Yun's fault, so that these unjust souls cannot rest in peace, then, let them come to Yun, and Yu will tell them, it is better to be a peace dog, don't sit 'chaotic' in the world, in the next life, let's have a good baby!"
A thousand households, plus all the auxiliaries in the army, were transferred to this embankment, and the entire battalion of the Fengzi battalion also began to act, in the city, the other party's battalion, is still the banner is waving, crowded, in fact, these people in the city, how can not be found, in the entire battalion, except for a small number of people from time to time 'showing' their heads, walking around, creating the illusion that everyone is there, most of the people, have quietly withdrawn from the rear camp, moved to higher ground.
Even this small group of people left behind, after nightfall, will also withdraw from the camp and fight with those who withdrew earlier, and once they are all withdrawn, then the officers and soldiers and auxiliaries on standby by the river will dig the embankment in the shortest possible time, and in the Fengzi battalion, which uses gunpowder weapons as the main damage output, gunpowder is not a rare thing, and with the help of gunpowder, I believe that the speed of breaking the embankment is far greater than the speed of everyone's hands.
This will be a sleepless night, whether it is for the officers and soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion, or for the Qing soldiers in Xichuan, and for the Korean people, no one can know how many people will be left in the entire Xichuan City after tonight.
Tonight, the stars are shining. ~
