Chapter 69: Han Chuan's "100,000 Male Soldiers"

Several of Han Chuan's entourage looked at Han Chuan with strange expressions, and they didn't know what Han Chuan meant by "found" for a while. I saw that Han Chuan had been observing back and forth by the river, and wading into the river from time to time to test it. After probing for a while, Han Chuan left the river and walked in the direction of the pass, and several followers had to follow.

When Han Chuan walked three or four miles away from the river he had observed earlier, he stopped and began to observe around a gourd-shaped basin surrounded by two mountains.

It wasn't until the body protected by the hat and the cloak was wet with the rain that Han Chuan returned to the guards satisfied.

"General Han, I don't know what you're measuring? Could it be that what you are doing has something to do with breaking through the current barrier? One of the guards asked, unable to hold back the curiosity in his heart.

"Well, I'm going to conjure up 100,000 male soldiers here and break through the pass of his South Vietnamese army." Han Chuan looked at the terrain in front of him and said confidently to the guards who asked questions.

"General Han, I don't understand what you said, now we only have more than 10,000 horses, where are the 100,000 male soldiers." Another guard looked at Han Chuan and said puzzled.

"If I say there is, there must be" Han Chuan didn't explain, and said firmly.

"You go and pass on my orders, leave a thousand people to guard the camp, and all the rest come here with camping tools such as rakes and other camping tools." Han Chuan asked the pro-man, who was puzzled by what he had said about the 100,000 male soldiers, to go and give the order.

"No" the relative left with the order.

An hour later, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to the basin where Han Chuan was located, wearing hats and robes. And in the hands of these soldiers were no longer weapons, but all kinds of agricultural tools, such as a plow and a pinch (a kind of agricultural tool similar to a pickaxe).

"Soldiers, I'm going to build a three-meter-high dam here." Han Chuan said to the captains of the unified army.

After listening to what Han Chuan said, the captains showed expressions of disbelief.

"General Han, why are you building a dam here?" A lieutenant asked, confused.

"Yes, General Han, is there water here, we really don't understand the point of building a dam here."

……

Seeing that the captains were puzzled about their dam building, Han Chuan began to explain to the captains why he had let them build the dam.

"Generals, there is a river three miles away, and I went to inspect it, and it is not difficult to divert the river to this place. If a dam is built here, and the river is diverted, and with the help of this rain, it will not be a few days before a flood of water gathers here, and if I have to have this levee dug up by then, where will this terrible flood go? ”

After Han Chuan finished speaking, he looked at everyone expectantly.

After thinking for a moment, the Captain Tiger Ben who asked the question earlier figured out where Han Chuan's plan to build a dam was.

"General Han, do you mean to use the water gathered here to flood the South Vietnamese Pass?" The Tigerben military captain asked, pointing to the gourd-shaped basin in front of him.

Han Chuan smiled and nodded.

After listening to the conversation between Han Chuan and the two, several lieutenants next to him instantly understood Han Chuan's calculations, and deduced Han Chuan's plans in their hearts according to Han Chuan's plans.

After a while, all the captains around Han Chuan finished their deductions, and everyone looked at Han Chuan with admiration, obviously everyone was very satisfied with Han Chuan's plan.

"General Han, it's really a clever plan, I admire it." A lieutenant opened his mouth and complimented.

The others chimed in and nodded in agreement.

After learning about Han Chuan's plan, these lieutenants led their soldiers to the basin pointed out by Han Chuan and worked hard to build a river dam.

In just three days, the soldiers under Han Chuan's command built a barrage more than 20 meters long in the narrow part of the gourd-shaped basin.

After the embankment was built, Han Chuan divided all the soldiers into two groups, one group followed him to renovate the river, and the other group led by an adjutant general went to repair the channel where the flood water flowed to the pass, and blocked the seven or eight openings at the dam to the pass that might lead to the diversion of the flood.

Just when Han Chuan led the army to barrage the river and build a dam, the spies sent by the South Vietnamese Pass found out what Han Chuan had done.

When Mi Feng, the main general of the South Vietnamese gatekeeper, learned of Han Chuan's damming behavior, he was a little unclear for a while, so he really couldn't figure out what the Qin army's intentions were to build the dam in the rain, so he summoned all the generals guarding the pass to the Guanfang meeting hall.

When all the subordinates gathered in the meeting hall, Mi Feng told everyone what the spies had discovered.

"This Qin army left us alone, but went to dig earth and build a dam, it's really weird, I really don't understand what this Qin army is trying to do?" Mi Feng looked at the generals and sighed.

"General Mi, what is the matter with this Qin army's damming? As far as I know, the closest river to my pass is the Nanhe, but this Nanhe is also ten miles away from our pass, so should his Qin army dig a river to lead the water of the Nanhe River to the embankment they built, and then come to flood us. One of the generals joked with a smile.

"Haha......"

Listening to the general's joke, everyone laughed.

"I don't think so, I thought there must be a conspiracy after Qin Jun's strange moves."

Although what this subordinate general said was not unreasonable, Mi Feng did not dare to completely relax his vigilance, blindly thinking that what Qin Jun did was just to make them laugh.

"Alas, General Mi, I think you are a little overly worried, and what the Qin army did was just a helpless move." Another general looked at Mi Feng and persuaded him.

"That is, General Mi, as long as we stick to this pass, there is nothing the Qin army can do to forgive him."

……

Listening to the persuasion of the subordinate generals, Mi Feng's hanging heart finally let go of a little, but there was still a trace of residual reason that reminded him that there must be a conspiracy behind Qin Jun's strange actions.

After more than 10 days of hard fighting, Sergeant Huben finally completed all preparations for flooding the South Vietnamese Pass.

What made Han Chuan feel depressed was that with the completion of the construction of the barrage, the rain that had been falling for more than ten days actually stopped.

Looking at the clear sky, Han Chuan wanted to cry without tears, was the excellent plan he had worked so hard to implement about to fall short? If the soldiers who dug the earth and built the dam saw that the barrage they built in the rain was useless in the end, they would really shut themselves up.

For several days in a row, the sky was cloudless, and the faces of Han Chuan and all the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were getting longer and longer with the weather.

On this day, Han Chuan, who had been tormented by the sunny weather for several days and did not know what to do, summoned all the lieutenants to the Chinese army's big tent, ready to put aside the plan to flood the South Vietnamese army's pass, and re-plan to break through the pass.

Just after the last general who came to discuss the army walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, a black cloud floated over from the sky in the distance and stopped above the heads of Han Chuan and the others.

After a short while, countless black clouds rolled from all directions and gathered above the heads of Han Chuan and the others.

Seeing the black clouds coming, Han Chuan stopped the discussion for a while, and rushed out of the Chinese army's tent excitedly with a group of captains.

Half an hour later, a thunderclap swept across the sky, and the rolling thunder roared in the sea of clouds as black as the bottom of a pot, and the wind swept together and poured rain down on the earth.

In just one cup of tea, many streams gathered on the ground in front of the camp gate.

"Pass my order, and all the Ying Long soldiers will follow me to the dam with their wings. And you, quickly go back to reorganize your own soldiers and horses, and prepare to break through. Han Chuan ordered to the captains.

When Han Chuan led the soldiers of Yinglong Army to the dam, the turbid river water was almost level with the top of the dam, and the gourd-shaped basin in front of him had turned into a large river.

"Soldiers, follow me to dig the mouth of the dam." Han Chuan excitedly gave an order to Sergeant Long.

The 3,000 Ying Long troops were soon divided into six groups, each with 500 men, and took turns to go to the middle of the embankment to dig the dam mouth.

For their own safety, the soldiers of Yinglong who were digging in the center of the dam mouth tied themselves up with long ropes, and the other end of the rope was handed over to the soldiers waiting on the side.

After the continuous excavation of Sergeant Ying Long, a five-meter-wide gap appeared in the center of the embankment, and the rapidly surging flood water pushed out a ten-meter-wide channel from the gap, roaring towards the South Vietnamese army pass.
