The famous city is as high as 50 meters, built by the mountain, the whole city is built around a big mountain, there are two big rivers on the three sides of the city, confluence, half surrounded, it is also the famous city built according to the natural terrain, and the outside of the famous city, in addition to the river, is a large plain, after the plain is the mountain that surrounds the plain, that is to say, the famous city is a basin, and the famous city is located in the center of the basin, this basin has an area of more than 400 square kilometers, in other words, the length and width of the famous city are about 20 kilometers respectively。 This topography, combined with its importance, made it an important location among the border cities of the Harvey Empire. It is said that the original plan of the builder of the city was to build the city on the main road leading to the interior of Harvey, but if this is the case, it will not be able to make full use of the large volume of transportation of the waterway, and the fast mode of transportation, which is not conducive to the famous city as a logistics place, plus there is a high ground at the junction of the river, much higher than the plain, and it is not afraid of flooding, so the famous city was built at the confluence of two rivers, so that it is convenient to travel and facilitate the use of waterways to transport the army to the front line in wartime, and the successor army of Harvey's army is also transported to the front line by water。

After the news of the rout of the front line came, the nobles in the famous city panicked, and many nobles fled to the interior one after another, because only in this way could they avoid the attack of the mercenary army, as for those real estates, as long as they were still there, they were not afraid that they would not be able to recover them in the future, besides, that one nobleman did not have few relatives in the emperor? As for saying that the nobles have the responsibility of defending the land, but that is just talking, they handed over most of the private soldiers to the city defense army, which can be regarded as fulfilling the responsibility of the nobles to defend the land, if they say that they hold it, then they will also have part of the credit. If you don't defend it, it's the incompetence of the city guard, what does it have to do with them, in short, most of the nobles are almost invincible, and there is no way to let the city guard. Fortunately, there are also 30,000 troops withdrawn from Micheng, plus the original 30,000 troops of the famous city, plus nearly 30,000 private troops, a total of nearly 100,000 troops. This is the 70,000 army mentioned in the mercenary army's intelligence, and there are 30,000 more troops, to 100,000 against 70,000. With the advantage of geographical advantages, there is no reason to lose, and out of this consideration, there are even a few nobles who dream of defeating the snow wolf mercenary army and do not leave the city. There were half a million civilians in the city. And most of these people are also people who depend on various nobles to survive.

Kong Ming took several division commanders and stood on a high ground. Look at the famous city not far away. It was already the middle of autumn, and the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and since it was also the dry season, the water in the two large rivers was less than two-thirds of the average, and the wide river became a huge obstacle for the mercenary army to attack the famous city.

"Commander, this city is so tall. From the front, its magic array is also very well carved, and it is difficult for us to storm such a fortified city!" Duns said from the side. Everyone else nodded, and the fact was in front of them. Anyone can see it, and under normal circumstances, in such a fortified city, the enemy army will definitely not be less, and there are only 70,000 people who have no way to break through this city, which is an obvious thing, but why Kong Ming would say that he will capture the famous city, this makes them very puzzled.

"Commander, are we going to take a detour and attack the other cities to lure out the enemies of the famous cities, so that we have a better chance of victory?" said Che Yi from the side.

"It's a good idea, and it's a little safer. Li Yao also said on the side.

Everyone is you and me, constantly expounding their own opinions, only Kong Ming is still motionless looking at the famous city, and the comparison in his heart is not paragraph, how to break through this city. This is a problem, you must know that no matter how beautiful the words are, but there are always a lot of problems in the implementation, and now it is necessary to capture this city as much as possible, so that countless mercenaries can enter the hinterland of Harvey from here, and only by breaking this city, then after passing through the mountains in front of Guò, it will be the plain of a flat river in the north of the Harvey Empire, where the cavalry will get the most play. Therefore, this city must be conquered, because it is the only way to the Harvey Empire. And when the time comes, you can go straight down from the waterway.

"Che Yu, go and call the head of the magic group, Wenyue, to me. I need to be sure of something. ”

Soon, the head of the magic group came to Kong Ming, saying that he was the head of the magic group, but in fact, there were more than 6,000 magicians in one magic group alone.

"Commander, what are you looking for me?" Wen Yue asked, he was also very familiar with Kong Ming, the two of them had been working together since the establishment of this mercenary army, so they were not too polite.

"How many water mages and how many earth mages do we have?" Kong Ming said after looking at Wen Yue.

"There are more than 500 water magicians and more than 1,000 earth magicians. Among them, the highest level of the water system is ten mages, and the earth type is a little more, with thirty mages. Wen Yue said, this number is a little less for Kong Ming, after all, in the army, fire magicians are the mainstay, because they are the masters of bombardment, while water magicians are frozen masters, and earth magicians are talents who fall meteorites from the sky, but due to the characteristics of the army, it also causes the most fire magicians.

"Is there any way you can plug that gap?" Kong Ming pointed to the confluence of the great river and rushed out of the gap in the basin.

"If it's temporary, it can be blocked quickly, if it's blocked for a long time, it needs a process, because you know that if magic is cast for a moment, then it can be done, but if it needs to be fixed for a long time, it needs a process, you know, magically formed things will quickly dissipate if they don't have the support of the magician's mental power. Wen Yue explained.

Kong Ming nodded, this is the characteristic of magic, magic is just the magician guò to the elements with mental power manipulation of the formation, that is to say, the formation of a magic will only occur after the magician casts it, once this magic is formed, the magician will no longer add energy to it, and once the spiritual power in it is withdrawn. Then the magic will still be effective for a short period of time, but after a long time, the magic will dissipate and the elements will return to nature, which is the essence of magic. This also means that if Kong Ming wants this gap to be plugged, then a short time will do, but if you want to know the plugging of time, you need to think of other ways.

"Wen Yue, you measure. If we plug that gap, can we flood the entire famous city?" Kong Ming asked again.

After hearing Kong Ming's words, Wen Yue took out a magic measuring instrument, measured it for a long time, and replied, "If the gap is completely blocked." Then it is possible to flood about 100 meters above the city wall, but it is impossible to flood the entire famous city. You know, the high ground in the city is also very high. ”

"It doesn't matter. As long as we will flood that wall, then we don't need our soldiers to attack the high wall, which is a victory for us, the problem now is that our soldiers are not familiar with water warfare, and there are not many who can swim, and we can only flood the whole city here. Then let's see who has the more staying power. Kong Ming sighed, this is indeed a big problem, there is little water in the north of the Harvey Empire, and there are indeed not many people in the north who can swim. If it is flooded, if there is no corresponding follow-up battle, it can only be besieged, but it will not achieve the desired effect. But that's all there is to it.

"I wonder if we can recruit the soldiers of Huishui from the whole army and reorganize them into a commando team, which may solve this problem. Li Yao said on the side. This is indeed a good solution.

"How long will it take if all the famous cities are flooded?" Kong Ming asked Wen Yue again.

"It takes about six days, mainly because it's not the rainy season and the flow in the river isn't very large. Wen Yue replied.

"Well, let's do it, the special division will be close to there and set up camp, and the rest of the divisions will camp on the high ground on both sides of the special division to fully support the work of the special division, and Wen Yue will be solely responsible for the work of blocking the river, in addition, each division will gather the personnel of the water, Li Yao is in charge, Li Yao is also responsible for making the boats, and after the water floods the famous city, the Havi army will be killed. ”

What followed was a hot process, the water magicians froze the river, and then the earth magics used magic to block the water one by one, while the other swordsmen filled in the dirt canals from the high mountains on both sides of the river, and the other mercenaries who did not join these tasks were always keeping an eye on the movements of the entire famous city and the mercenary army before and after to prevent sudden attacks by the enemy. The next thing is to wait.

Famous city has felt very bad for a while recently, first because of the defeat of the 300,000 army of the three princes, and then the loss of the secret city again, and now because the snow wolf mercenary army is on the periphery of the famous city, is staring at the famous city, although the strength of the famous city has reached a small 100,000, but they do not have the cavalry advantage of the snow wolf mercenaries, if the city fights, then they may still be able to win, after all, they have the advantage in terms of numbers, plus it is the home advantage, and they have more to rely on for those who are familiar with the terrain of the famous city。 It can be said that now they are just waiting for the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army to come, and then they can kill them. But they soon discovered a lot of wrongs, because the snow wolf mercenaries did not come to attack the city, but camped on the high ground at the bottom of the river, and then they heard a lot of magic fluctuations and loud noises coming from there, and the mercenary army did not come to attack, and wanted to monitor the movement there from the magic image, but found that the other party had used some magic barriers, and could no longer see the situation there, but judging from those sounds, it must be what they were doing. So the city defense army of the famous city took advantage of the late night to send a lot of scouts, but there was no way in and out, and the contact was completely lost. Nothing happened to them that night, but the soldiers standing at the head of the city seemed to hear a little different, but using magic, they couldn't see any difference, the surrounding fields were very calm, and when they looked at the water, they didn't find anything unusual.

"Ah San, is it raining in the upper reaches of our river these days?"

"What's wrong?"

"You see, the river seems to be a little bigger, and it seems to be a little calmer. It's really strange that it happens every year, especially this year. ”

"Hehe, I think you're dazzled, if it's raining upstream. The water in the river should be muddy now, but you see, the river water here is clear, and it is no different from usual, not to mention that it is the season of autumn and winter, where does the heavy rain come from, and after a period of time, the light rain is common. Boy, learn more. Ah San looked very experienced.

"But I always feel that something is different, do you say that there are ghosts, or that we are hallucinating. ”

"I was stunned. Don't be a ghost, I'm going to be polite if I say it a few more times. ”

"Okay, okay, can't I look at it and don't say it?" replied in a daze.

At dawn, the scene outside the famous city stunned all the famous city defenders, and the river had already overflowed the river. It is slowly rising in both directions, albeit slowly. But it's visible. The river was spreading on both sides, and the outside of the city had become a flooded country. At this time, even a fool knows what happened.

"Ah San, it seems that the mercenary army blocked the river?"

"Damn, this is something that fools know, what are you talking about now?" Ah San said hurriedly.

The news quickly reached the ears of the city lord. When he came to the city wall, he was completely stunned. At this time, the one thing he wanted to do most was to scold the fool who built the city in the middle of the basin, even though he knew that the man was still his ancestor.

Look at the slowly rising river. All the mercenaries smiled happily, you know, yesterday they were nervous for a day, for fear that those city defense troops would come to sabotage, so although this work will not stop, but it will always affect the process of work, but now there is no need to worry, because the river has risen, blocking several roads out of the city, and now they are still blocking the river, the higher the better.

"Do you think it would take us a few days to flood the entire city?" Yi Yiyi asked.

"If it is more, it may take ten days, and if it is less, it will take five or six days, which should completely turn this place into a Ze country. At that time, there may only be a small island left in the famous city, and all the people will be concentrated there, and the important thing is that at that time, the lord of the famous city may have already controlled the form. Kong Ming said.

"What about the civilians in the city?" said Yiyi.

"Hehe, if it was at the beginning of my military career, it might be really difficult to answer your question, because there are too many moral and human issues involved, and now I can only say that it is left to fate. Kong Ming said with some sadness. On this road, there are some things that must be done, which has nothing to do with morality and other things, only victory is the most important thing for a soldier, and those civilians should be a problem for the city lord to consider, not a problem for him to think about.

"You're heartless!" said Yiyi angrily. She had never hated war so much as she had ever hated this moment, she hated this endless life of killing and poking, maybe if she had been following Kong Ming, she might really go crazy, maybe she should have left here, returned to the Huayuan Empire, returned to that bright hall, and listened to the praise of those men, instead of watching the tragedies of the world here.

Kong Ming gave her a strange look, as if he had met her for the first time. For a person who has joined the war since he was fourteen years old, from a certain situation, Kongming's worldview has been fixed, except for three years of study in the Huayuan Imperial Comprehensive University, he does not know what kind of life he will live, so he went to the Chu State, he went to the Harvey Empire, but he could not return to his hometown Kali, although he was from the imperial capital, but in the depths of his heart, it was his hometown. But now it is the territory of traitors from the Huayuan Empire, and maybe one day he will go back and see those former friends, but for now, there is nothing in his life that makes him happier than war, so his reaction to Yiyi is a little strange. This is not like Yi Yiyi's usual practice, but he didn't think about these issues further, from the first time he joined the army, he knew that a general would be successful, especially when he was promoted to a great sword master by medicine, he was even more convinced of this, and these as a pure nobleman Yi Yiyi could not understand.

"This is war, nothing else, if we are not ruthless now, then those people may live longer and more miserable under the slavery of the Harvey nobles, if this great flood of ours can provoke them to fight against the nobles at this time, it can save us too much strength, but if they are willing to let those nobles continue to call, then it is no wonder that others. ”

"Hmph, do you know why I didn't mean to stay in the rear last time you asked me to stay?" Yiyi said angrily.

"Why? I remember it was the first time you didn't listen to my orders, of course you were an employer, and although you had the title of deputy commander, everyone knew that you were the employer of our mercenary army. You can decide what you do, I have no right to interfere with that, and I'm just a builder. Kong Ming looked at Yi Yiyi, and in the reflection, this girl rarely lost her temper.

"Hmph, I just want to see what kind of person you really are, and now I finally know that you're just a cold-blooded butcher!" Yi Yiyi yelled at Kong Ming almost like crazy, and then fled the scene amid the strange eyes of everyone.

"How did I offend her?" said to himself.

"A woman's heart, a needle at the bottom of the sea, it's hard to tell. Next to him, Li Yao said on the side, thinking that he was a person who really understood women, Kong Ming couldn't help but think about it for a while, but soon he gave up his boring thoughts. Put the whole spirit into this battle of water attack. Because this is the place where people die all the time. When a person is angry, he can be happy again, and when he is injured, he can not recover, but once he is dead, there is nothing else, although it is just a matter of waiting, but it is not the time to have nothing to do.

A day later, the city's wells began to rise, and the water in the sewers of the famous city began to flow backwards, and the people's hearts began to panic.

Two days later, a small part of the low-lying areas of the city began to be flooded, and even a few streets were already flooded, and the people began to move towards the high ground, and mercenaries of other banners began to appear around the outside of the city, mainly with the snow wolf mercenaries.

After three days, half of the walls had been soaked, most of the city had been submerged, and the people had moved to the high ground, and there was the greatest unrest in the city, and many people began to take advantage of the opportunity to loot the homes of the rich and noble or some of the ruined nobles. On the surrounding high ground, more mercenaries flocked to the city, but after seeing that it was the snow wolf mercenaries who attacked the city, most of them began to move along the main road towards the next city, because there would be more opportunities there, and according to the rules of mercenaries, whoever beat it would belong to whom, so they bypassed this place and went to other places one after another. And their bodies, Kong Ming and the others also knew the specific news of the three princes. After the defeat of the three princes, they stayed in Kaesong for a short time, and many different mercenaries chased after them, so under the protection of the three saints, they marched towards the interior of the Harvey Empire, and he did not dare to come to the direction where Kong Ming was, because he knew about it as early as when Kong Ming captured the secret city, so he began to walk through the lofty mountains and mountains full of demonic beasts towards other cities of the Harvey Empire.

Four days later, the walls were submerged, and the 600,000 men of the city were crammed into the high ground, and many who could not make it up rowed around the high ground in small boats made of planks and other things. The city defenders rebelled, the city lord and many nobles fled from the teleportation array, and the city defenders surrendered. Kong Ming ordered the flooding operation to be stopped, and did not raise the water level, but it did not lower the water level either, allowing the city defense army to row a small boat out and surrender, and thus the battle of the famous city ended.

A day later, Kong Ming ordered the water level to drop slowly, rather than all at once, otherwise it could easily cause more damage, and the main thing was that the muddy roads would affect the speed of the mercenary army's advance. (To be continued......)
