Chapter 372: The Great Liang Becomes a Swamp Country, and it is gone forever
The water of the ancient and secluded river is blocked with the downstream in front of it, and the water flow is reversed, like a terrifying wave, pouring towards the western capital of the embankment Liang Kingdom.
In the pouring rain, Su Chen stood under the umbrella with his hands in his hands, watching the rolling waves in the distance, overflowing the river embankment and impacting the field.
"The western capital of Daliang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the west is close to the big river, which originally had a natural defense advantage, after more than two hundred years, people here may forget that the river that depends on it also has the power to destroy a country."
A little behind him, all the generals in the army were there, wearing robes and hats, standing in the heavy rain and looking at the eastern fields below like an ocean, full of undulating water waves.
Dong Zhuo took his elbow against Lu Bu and raised his chin towards the water outside the mountain: "But this is the picture when the water flooded Pi back then?" β
"Hmph, that's pretty much it!" Lu Bu glanced at Dong Zhuo next to him with a halberd, and there was a sense of familiarity with itchy hands, "Back then, Cao Cao, the water of the two rivers of Dusi and Yi, the whole city was soaked in water, the people had nothing to eat, the grain in the army was also soaked in water, almost nothing to eat, the army had no fighting spirit, and a certain family was separated from Germany. β
"Hehe, in terms of strategy, the way of water and fire is the most convenient." Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes, "However, I don't care to use it!" β
At this time, on the hillside, next to the ancestral coffin that was docked, all the spirits jumped outside to look at the picture of the flooded beam, although many of the emperors were also virtuous monarchs, but they had not personally been on the battlefield to see this picture, and their hearts were also extremely shocked.
Even the First Emperor came out, standing on the roof of the car as if nothing was in the rain, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Wang Ben's flooded beam is this strange scene, the widow can imagine the picture just by looking at the war report, and now he is immersive, which is really comfortable."
He tilted his head slightly to look at Su Chen's location, "It would be great if there was another soul coming back." β
Over there, Su Chen felt the gaze of being watched, and turned his head, the first emperor on the ancestral coffin had returned to the spiritual seat in the car, and after he turned his gaze, he instructed Wu Zixun behind him: "Wait for the rain to stop, the water is calm, let the soldiers attack the city by boat, and don't give the defenders of the western capital of Liang the slightest preparation!" β
Meanwhile.
The entire western part of the Great Liang was in great chaos, with the drums on the city tower and the officials of the government carrying gongs beating frantically in the streets, mobilizing the people in the city to cooperate with the defenders to prevent floods.
For a time, the whole city was running wildly in the second half of the night, and the soldiers and civilians stepped on the belly-deep water, busy digging and bagging, and transporting it back and forth to the four gates to pile up, and seal the cracks in the doors.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at the water outside the city, which was almost half the height of the city wall, and their mouths trembled.
"It's over...... The people outside the city are all finished! β
At this time, in the palace, the emperor, who had fallen asleep for a short time, was woken up by the eunuchs, and heard a sudden flash flood outside the city, which was rare in a hundred years, flooding the outside of the city into an ocean. He overturned the table in front of the bed.
The queen came over to pick him up, and he pushed him back to the bed.
"My army...... I have just expanded my army of 100,000!! It's all over...... Ahh β
Tuoba Kui pulled out the sword hanging at the end of the bed like a madman, kicked down the table and chairs, and swung the sword blade indiscriminately to slash in the room, so frightened that the queen shrank into the bed, and two eunuchs who heard the movement outside the door came in, and one of them was slashed to the ground by the hysterical emperor's sword, and fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
"Don't come in, go and call the Queen Mother!" The queen called out to the other eunuch.
The eunuch was also frightened, and immediately turned around and went out, and soon the Empress Dowager Zhao Xifeng led the guards and palace maids to hurry over, she asked the guards to hurry forward and take the sword in the emperor's hand.
However, the old eunuch who rushed to hear the news made a move, so he snatched the sword in Tuoba Kui's hand, and Tuoba Kui also wanted to snatch it with his backhand and kill the old eunuch. But the mother who stepped forward raised her hand and slapped him in the face loudly.
Tuoba Kui suddenly fell silent.
"Calmed down?" Zhao Xifeng crutches and looked at the emperor in front of him with disappointment, "A little blow will go crazy, now it's not the Xia army coming, it's a natural disaster!" β
"Where is this natural disaster!"
Tuoba Kui was silent for a moment, and suddenly cried out, a big man crying is not good-looking, not good-looking, he burst into tears: "Mother, even if there was a flash flood in previous years, when did it have such great power? There must be something different this time, the army that the poor son just formed is gone, it's gone! β
He fell to his knees abruptly, hugged his mother's legs like a child and cried heartbreakingly.
Zhao Xifeng sighed, she actually knew better than anyone else in her heart that after this disaster, what else could Liang Guo do against Xia Guo, but she didn't want to hit her son's confidence.
He gently stroked Tuoba Kui's hair bun and comforted: "Isn't there still an army in the city?" Your Majesty can guard it well, the defenders are not enough, and there are still the people, even if these are gone, Your Majesty is still the emperor, and if you are the emperor, you can't insult the ancestors and ancestors of the Tuoba family, and you would rather die in battle than be as useless as the emperor of the Qi family! β
Tuoba Kui, who was leaning on his mother's legs, gradually calmed down, and he nodded.
"I listen to my mother, after the army is finished, I still have the clan and the clan are finished, and I will personally fight with the Xia army until I die in battle!"
He wiped away the tears on his face, stood up again, and now there were many civil and military people in the palace gathered over, restrained the weak emotions just now, returned to the emperor's look, said goodbye to his mother, and led the old eunuch to stride to the front palace.
At this time, in the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials had already arrived, anxiously waiting for the emperor to come and give orders.
"Heavens, earth, how could such a flood suddenly occur!"
"If it is a sudden occurrence, will the army of the Xia people also be flooded?"
"That's fine, the terrible thing is that this torrent is what they brought through this torrential rain!"
"Can the people of Xia have such a thorough ability? This is a fairy method. β
"The Art of War in the Central Plains is ...... The strategist of the Xia Kingdom can't be said to be very powerful! β
In the chaotic words, Tuoba Kui led the guards and eunuchs from the apse, at this time he had nothing to discuss, and now he was vigorously controlling the floods in the city, and then rescuing the grain in the official warehouse, waiting for the water to recede.
However, he discussed with the ministers to deal with the flood in the city, the sky outside gradually brightened, one after another carrying the emperor's order of the fast horses rushed out of the imperial city, the rainstorm outside gradually lightened, suddenly outside the hall sounded footsteps, a guard came from the outside square in a hurry, outside the hall fist saluted.
"Your Majesty, the army of the Xia Kingdom is attacking the city by boat!"
The civil and military forces in the main hall were speechless in astonishment, and now it was completely confirmed that this flood was indeed caused by the other party, otherwise where would the boat be built in advance.
"Prepare the soldiers on the city walls for battle!" Tuoba Kui sat on the dragon chair with an expressionless face, gritting his teeth and clapping the armrest.
β¦β¦
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of war drums spread throughout the four gates of the city, facing the south of the city gate tower, the sun broke through the clouds, shining on the undulating water, sparkling, there were more than 300 boats and boats rowed by the soldiers to approach this side, on the boat were Zhao Yun and Xiang Yu, one stayed in Jingzhou for many years, and there would be some water battles, and Xiang Yu grew up in Jiangdong, and naturally knew the water.
"Defend the front of the city!"
"Just enter the land of an arrow, shoot an arrow immediately, they are on the boat, there is no place to hide!"
The soldiers of each section of the city wall rushed, and the generals of each floor shouted loudly to cheer up the soldiers under their command, and one by one the archers grabbed their arrows and watched the fast boats cruising on the water at the height of half the city outside.
On the water outside the city, listening to the shouts on the city wall, although he didn't understand what they were talking about, but it was definitely something like encouraging morale, Xiang Yu lowered his hands behind him, and said to Zhao Yun beside him with a smile: "At such a height, just go up directly, this is the first skill to break the city, take it first!" β
After that, he raised his hand and grabbed the city-breaking halberd carried by the two soldiers on their shoulders in his hand, and at the moment when the boat approached the city wall, he suddenly walked to the bow of the boat, and the ship leaned forward, Xiang Yu carried the city-breaking halberd and jumped up, and crossed a high trajectory in the field of vision of the soldiers on the city wall.
"Something flying here!"
"Be carefulβ"
One after another shouts rang out at the head of the city, and the next moment, Xiang Yu's figure smashed on the city wall like a cannonball, and the paved stone bricks suddenly shattered in a circle, spreading from under his feet in all directions.
"I ...... I...... I call it damn ......" A lieutenant stammered in fright, and finally shouted: "The enemy will go to the city!" β
The shout of the exit came to an abrupt end in the next moment, and the tip of the huge halberd pierced directly into his mouth, and then pierced out of the back of his head, and his whole head was squeezed and cracked.
"Hehe......"
Xiang Yu looked at the stunned Liang Guo's soldiers around him, as well as the crowd of people who were swarming in the distance, he opened his mouth, and his disdainful chuckle gradually turned into a heroic laugh.
"Let's all come together!"
His halberd shook his body suddenly, his hair fluttered, the broken bricks under his feet were blown away, and the fierce murderous aura of his eyes with heavy pupils instantly turned into substance.
Looking at the defenders rushing towards the city, he laughed and greeted them.
One man rushed to the army of thousands.
Outside the city, while the defenders were attracted by Xiang Yu, the boats led by Zhao Yun quickly leaned towards the city wall, and ladders were erected from the bottom of the boats, braving the arrows that were fired.
The Youyan sergeant pushed the ladder to the city wall and killed it.
