Chapter 1053: Water Attack
"Despicable!"
Wanyan Lou's face turned pale, he knew that he had been tricked, and the tens of thousands of troops were actually frightened by more than a dozen empty jars.
Lin Chong had already withdrawn to Datong Mansion with a large army at this time.
"You despicable and shameless fellows, get out of here and die!"
Wanyan Lou Room pointed at Datong Mansion and roared.
"You come to attack the city!"
Yang Zhi looked at the Wan Yan Lou room under the city and smiled.
The bed crossbow and trebuchet were still bombarding each other, and the crossbows of both sides did not stop.
The battle lasted for an hour, and then the two sides retreated, and the Jin army retreated to the vicinity of Baishan Mountain outside the city.
"Your Majesty, this Qi army is far more difficult to deal with than we imagined!"
Wanyan Zonghan looked at Wanyan Wu and said that they had been preparing for this battle for a long time, and it can be said that they had exhausted their family resources, and they even specially transformed the shield car according to the battle situation in Liaodong, in order to deal with the explosive arrows of the bed crossbow, but this is it, they did not take advantage of the slightest advantage when the strength was several times that of the enemy.
"The enemy's firearms are still in our expectation, this Datong Mansion is high and deep, and it is a little difficult to forcibly attack the city!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Datong Mansion in the distance and said, this was once the capital of Xijing of Liao, the imperial river flows from the north, just become the natural moat of Datong Mansion, and now the moat is blooming, and the barrier of the moat has become an insurmountable chasm.
"Your Majesty, the enemy used fierce fire oil today, although it was a false trick in the end, but the terrible fire oil has to be guarded against."
Wan Yan Lou Room spoke, he was not carried away by anger, the siege was a tough battle, if the enemy used fire oil when the battle was at its fiercest, it was enough to change the entire battle situation.
"Well, this thing is really troublesome!"
Wanyan Wu begged to buy nodded, he has seen this thing today, the fierce fire oil can be described as indestructible, even if this shield car encounters, it will only be burned.
"Your Majesty, now that the flow of the Yuhe River is getting bigger, it is better to build a dam by barrage and flood Datong Mansion!"
Wanyan Zonghan pointed to the imperial river flowing from the north and said.
"It's a big project!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai frowned and said, the Yuhe River has abundant water flow in summer, but the problem is that Hongtao Mountain and Cailiang Mountain are too far away, and this dam needs to be built very large.
"Your Majesty, there are still a lot of people in Xuandezhou, so it's better to requisition them all, anyway, there are all the wood on the mountain!"
Wan Yan Lou pointed to the lush Hongtao Mountain and Cailiang Mountain, and the materials for building the dam were readily available.
As for the people of Xuande Prefecture, most of them are Khitan, Bohai, and Mongolian people who are unwilling to clear the wilderness in Kyushu, Shanbei, and these people are unwilling to accept the rule of Qi, and they go further north to seek refuge from the grassland peoples.
"Okay, mobilize the people and build a dam!"
Wanyan Wu begged to buy a clap and said, it just so happened that he didn't want to end the battle so quickly, and today's movement was big enough, enough to gag Tokyo's mouth.
"In addition, send someone to Tokyo and tell Slash that we will capture Yamkita Kyushu!"
Wanyan Wu begged to buy and looked at Wanyan Zonghan and said.
Datong Province.
Soldiers on top of the walls are repairing the walls.
"The enemy is in some trouble with this trebuchet!"
Lin Chong looked at the ruins on the city wall, although the enemy's gunpowder was not as powerful as theirs, but the amount was enough to make up for it, and the city wall was still damaged a lot.
"If that's the case, then it's not difficult to stop the enemy, we have killed thousands of people today, and the enemy should retreat after a few more battles like this."
Yang Zhi said.
"The enemy shouldn't fight like this, if it were at any cost, they wouldn't retreat today!"
Lin Chong shook his head and said, war is a drum, then decline, and three exhaustions.
"And they're going west?"
Yu Tai said.
"Can't let them pass so fast, can you? The soldiers and civilians over there haven't retreated yet! ”
Yuan Lang opened his mouth and said, although the walls have been cleared in various places, it will still take time to transfer.
"Let's see where the enemy moves, and if they want to leave, then we'll go out of the city and fight."
Lin Chong nodded and said, they have to delay the enemy here for at least five days, so that the soldiers and civilians of Shuofang, Huanzhou, and Yingzhou can be transferred.
That night, Xuandezhou.
"Arrest all the young men in the city!"
Wan Yan Lou ordered to the officials guarding the city.
"General, what is this going to do? It's about to go to grazing! ”
The city guard looked at Yan Lou's room and asked, now that the grass grows and the warbler flies, there are many herdsmen here, and at this time they should drive the cattle and sheep to the northern grassland, start grazing for a year, and will not rush back until autumn.
"Grazing? Just let the old people and women go with their children, and the young and strong will be recruited to fight! ”
Wan Yan Lou said in a cold voice, the southern expedition is the most important thing, as for what to graze the old and weak.
"How does this work?"
The city keeper hurriedly said, grazing is the most important thing, there is no young and strong, how to graze the old and weak women and children, in the autumn he has to hand over the cattle, sheep and horses.
"Hugh has to say more!"
Wanyan Lou's room doesn't talk nonsense with the city guards.
Soon the young people in the city were concentrated, and Wan Yan Lou took them to Datong Mansion, these people were herdsmen, riding their own horses, and they were moving fast.
At noon the next day, Wanyan Lou took people to Baishan Mountain.
"Cut down trees and build dams!"
Wanyan Wu didn't talk nonsense, he directly ordered, and tens of thousands of people instantly ran up Hongtao Mountain and Cailiang Mountain to cut wood.
"What are they going to do? What siege equipment will be encountered? ”
Yang Zhi's face changed slightly, and the enemy's abnormal behavior was not a good sign.
"Oh no, they're going to build dams!"
Lin Chong's face sank, he saw the enemy's purpose, and the felled wood was piled up on both sides of the river.
"Dam!"
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and the enemy actually wanted to attack by water.
"Although the terrain around Datong Mansion is a little low, it will not be flooded!"
Yuan Lang pointed to the opening around Datong Mansion, Datong Mansion is in the basin between the mountains, with Hongtao Mountain and Cailiang Mountain in front, and Hengshan Mountain and Taihang Mountain in the rear.
"It's hard to say, it's still spring, the water of the river is not abundant, in a few days, the weather will be warmer, the flow of the river will be doubled, and the enemy may divert water to irrigate the north gate."
Lin Chong looked at the Yuhe River in the distance and said, the enemy doesn't have to flood Datong Mansion, they just want to break Datong Mansion.
"What then? Go out and fight a wave of raids? ”
He looked at the people who were logging in the distance, and it was too easy for tens of thousands of people to build a dam.
"Those people are just waiting for us to get out!"
Yuan Lang pointed to the Jin army arrayed in the distance, and those people were waiting for them to go out.
"I didn't expect our most commonly used tactics to be used by the enemy!"
Lin Chong frowned and said, isn't this kind of tactic what they have always used.
"That's what they're trying to get us out!"
Yang Zhi opened his mouth and said that if they didn't go out of the city to fight, then the enemy would boil frogs in warm water and slowly grind them to death.
"Order, strengthen the north gate, and seal the entire city gate!"
Lin Chong pointed to the opening of the north gate under his feet and said, the enemy is flooded, and the north gate is the most stressed.
