296 digging embankments to flood Shoushui; Prepare grass and oil to burn the enemy
Since the three Gao Xide brothers defeated Lu Qingxu in World War I, they have become famous, and their prestige in the coalition has risen sharply, and they even have a lot of right to speak.
In addition to them, Pang Yuan also rose in fame.
Without him, he is the first general to take Lu Qingxu's move without death, which is naturally worth boasting about.
It's just that Pang Yuan himself doesn't like this name very much, he originally thought that after practicing hard for a few years, he would be able to pass a few moves with Lu Qingxu at worst, but who knew that it was just one trick that would not die, and he was very disappointed in himself.
Hu Jingye was very curious about Gao Xide's troops, from the three brothers to Pang Yuan, they were not easy people.
Moreover, there is also a very famous Mr. Bai, which is not to be underestimated.
It was also from this day onwards that in the fight with Dong Lushan's army, Gao Xide and others had the right to speak, which could influence a certain decision to send troops.
On the second day, the allied forces, after resting, began to attack the city.
They all brought large siege equipment with them, and they wanted to break the city with them.
But the defensive capability of Shoushui City itself is not boastful, even if it is a large siege machine, it is difficult to work.
After a day's attack, the coalition forces failed to break through the city.
This is normal, and generally speaking, it takes months or even years to break down a city.
The longest siege recorded in the history books lasted for seven years, and the defenders were trapped to death.
After two more days of attack, the coalition forces also knew that they could not break through Shoushui City, so they began to besiege the city.
Dong Lushan is not a person who sits idly by, and has ordered his generals to lead the team out of the city to charge several times.
The coalition forces were a little panicked by this sudden attack, and there were even signs of rout at first, and the siege almost became a joke.
Later, it was Mr. Bai who proposed a new way of arranging troops, which gradually solved this problem.
It is also from this that everyone understands that this Mr. Bai is not a vain person, but a great talent.
Subsequently, the siege of the coalition army became more and more tight, and in the back, Lu Qingxu personally led the team to rush and kill in order to tear a hole.
It's just that under the command of Mr. Bai, it was blocked again.
After several battles back and forth between the two sides, Gao Xide, Mr. Bai and others became more and more important.
This made Hu Jingye, who thought he was the leader of the coalition forces, a little dissatisfied, but he was in the limelight, and he didn't have much to say.
Dong Lushan in the city originally hoped that Lu Qingxu would open up the situation, but he didn't expect him to be blocked back.
This made him a little dissatisfied with this "No. 1 in the world" righteous son, and Lu Qingxu also noticed Dong Lushan's dissatisfaction with him, and he was also resentful in his heart.
Because the army he led was not the strongest one, the strongest army had always been in Dong Lushan's own hands, and he would not let him lead anything.
If there is the strongest army in Dong Lushan's hands, Lu Qingxu is confident that he can be ashamed.
After being trapped for another half a month, Lu Qingxu also put forward the idea of wanting to lead the strongest army.
This was undoubtedly rejected by Dong Lushan, not to mention a righteous son, even a parent, and he would not hand over the command of the army in which he had his life.
There seemed to be a rift between father and son, and at this time, Lu Qingxu couldn't help but think of the words of the blind strange man he met at the beginning, and his heart became more and more unhappy.
The only thing that made him happy was that when he returned home, someone was there to serve him.
Recently, Jing Ziruo will arrange more than one beautiful woman to serve him every day, which makes him feel very satisfied.
Before I knew it, I was losing some weight.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, they only thought that he had become thin because of his military work.
As the siege continued, problems began to arise inside Shoushui Castle.
I don't know when a method of absorbing sunlight to drive away evil spirits was popular in the army, and many sergeants who were harassed by evil spirits were using this method to absorb sunlight to ward off evil spirits.
Naturally, the demons were dissatisfied with this, and conflicts began to erupt between the two sides.
At first, it was still a small fight, but in the back, there was a battalion of sergeants who couldn't stand the intrusion of evil spirits, and even collectively splashed evil spirits with dung.
Many evil spirits were injured by the dung, screaming, and killing and wounding.
Evil is not easy to bully, and immediately uses all the means such as color, possession and harm, and secretly making stumbling blocks.
What's more, when the soldiers were guarding the city, they directly pushed it off the city.
The matter made a big fuss, and it also made Dong Lushan pay attention to it.
He discussed the matter with the Seven Demons, but the Seven Demons didn't want to care at all.
For these demons, only they are the most important, and any subordinates and the like are all false, so they don't care about these things.
Dong Lushan couldn't, so he had to communicate with the Wusha generals and let them come forward to deal with it.
General Wusha came forward and did suppress the matter for the time being.
However, after the sergeants had the confidence to deal with evil spirits, they were unwilling to be in the company of these harmful things, and their emotions were a little big.
Under the situation of internal instability, Dong Lushan's army could only retreat in the city and was always on the defensive.
I thought that such a siege would take at least a few months.
In early December, things changed.
That night, the defenders of the city suddenly found that the coalition forces outside had begun to retreat and left the area of Shoushui City directly.
Such an abnormal situation was naturally immediately reported to Dong Lushan for knowing.
Lu Qingxu's ongoing good work was also interrupted, and he came to the city to check on the situation.
Seeing the coalition troops retreating without looking back, he was also a little strange, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Could it be that there is discord within the coalition forces, or that there is a problem with the logistics of food and grass?
While the defenders of the city were puzzled, someone suddenly shouted:
"Water, there is the sound of water!"
And when they heard this, they all looked at them.
I saw that in the distance, I don't know when, there was a big water overflowing, and it flooded directly towards Shoushui City.
"It's not good, it's a flood!"
Some people were shocked when they saw this.
When Lu Qingxu saw this, he was also surprised.
At this time, it was Layue, the water level of the river was not high, and Shoushui City was not the kind of downstream city, how could it be flooded?
But now the ironclad fact is right in front of us, the flood is coming!
Fire and water are ruthless, this is not talking.
Under this flood, even a majestic city like Shoushui City could not resist it.
The water soon flooded into the city, and the water on the road was up to the knees, and it was rising.
The defenders of the city had never encountered such a thing, and they were all panicked.
Dong Lushan was also frightened, and he didn't know why he encountered a flood.
Seeing the flood coming, he also knew that he could no longer hold on to the city, so he hurriedly ordered the whole city to abandon the city immediately.
With this walk, there are not many things that can be taken with you, and most of the supplies will be left in the city.
It's just that with such a big flood, it is impossible to burn the materials that cannot be taken away, so they can only be left behind.
And the reason why there was this flood was all thanks to Mr. Bai.
It turned out that since he gained a certain right to speak in the coalition army, he began to arrange for people to dig the west embankment, wanting to divert water to flood Shoushui City.
Now is not the flood season, and it is not easy to divert water to flood a city that is not downstream.
But these can't stand the new digging tools prepared by Mr. Bai and others.
A considerable part of these tools were made by Bai Yao and used to open mountains and build bridges and dig river embankments.
Compared to the old tools, it is much more efficient.
With the help of these tools and the hard work of thousands of people day and night, the river was successfully diverted to the side that was not downstream, and the middle slope was used to make the water directly flood Shoushui City.
As soon as this water came out, Shoushui City was self-defeating.
Dong Lushan and others had no choice but to abandon the city and flee.
Among them, the five demon generals also walked with him as a guard, and the water god would see these floods, and he was also puzzled.
He himself became famous by flooding the enemy army, but even from his experience, he couldn't figure out how the other party did it.
And, even if it can be done, how can it be possible to dig such a long way in just over a month?
Therefore, tools are really important, and without this new type of excavation tool, it is naturally impossible to understand the cause of what is happening in front of you.
Dong Lushan rode on a horse and led people all the way to Anwu City.
At this time, he felt a little like a lost dog.
"Where's Xu'er?"
At this time, Dong Lushan remembered that Lu Qingxu was good, and with this righteous son by his side, he would feel a little safe.
"General Lu is in the rear with his wife!"
Someone replied.
When Dong Lushan heard this, his face suddenly showed displeasure, since the kidney capsule was frightened, he basically lost the ability of a man, and even became a little disgusted with women.
Now I hear that my righteous son doesn't care about himself, but cares about a woman, naturally I don't like it.
"Tell him that at this time, don't care about any woman, just throw it away, and go ahead to explore the way first.
After this hurdle, I will give him a hundred beauties for my father! ”
His subordinates received the order and went to the rear to inform Lu Qingxu of Dong Lushan's words.
Lu Qingxu, who was riding with Jing Ziruo, heard this, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
When Jing Ziruo saw this, he suddenly cried, saying that he had been a burden, and as he spoke, he was about to draw his sword and kill himself.
Lu Qingxu hurriedly stopped her, and repeatedly said that he would not abandon her and would definitely protect her.
This is true, Jing Ziruo has arranged all kinds of beauties for him every day recently, for him, is there a more sensible and caring person in the world?
Let him abandon Jing Ziruo, it is absolutely impossible.
When the herald saw that he did not obey his command, his speech became yin and yang:
"General Lu, I didn't win many battles, but my temper is getting more and more irritable, you must know that this is the general's personal order, it is a military order!"
Originally, this person wanted to say anything more about the consequences of violating military orders, but he was so frightened by Lu Qingxu's eyes that he didn't dare to say anything more.
"Tell my father-in-law that there may be pursuers in the rear, and I will be behind this palace, and leave the matter of the forward exploration to others!"
Seeing Lu Qingxu's resolute attitude, the man couldn't persuade him, so he went to inform Dong Lushan.
When Dong Lushan heard this, he was very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, for a woman, she didn't even listen to her father!"
It's just that retreat is important at the moment, and Dong Lushan has not lost his mind to engage in civil strife at this time, and he will go to explore the way.
This time, they were going to Anwu City, and the route was very familiar, and the general felt that there would be no danger.
After some probing, it was said that the march could be carried out normally.
Dong Lushan also knew at this time that he could not delay, and ordered the whole army to rush to Anwu City.
When the army reached a valley that was not very narrow, they suddenly saw fire on both sides, as if there were ambushes.
The crowd was shocked, but they didn't see the ambush coming out, but they were throwing things.
"This is, hay?"
"Not good, beware of fire attacks!"
By this time, it was already a little late to realize the attack, and I saw countless hay balls being thrown down on both sides of the valley, along with many torches and oil.
It turned out that when Mr. Bai ordered someone to dig the river embankment and calculate the flooding of Shoushui City, he knew that the other party would retreat to Anwu City.
Therefore, half a month in advance, let Pang Yuan and Ma Zhen lead 1,000 people to prepare hay, fire oil and other materials on both sides of this valley, in order to burn Dong Lushan's army here today.
Dong Lushan's army, which was already a remnant of the army, was suddenly attacked by fire again, and it suddenly became a mess, and for a while, the entire valley was full of screams and wails......
