The next day, the two armies faced each other, and the drums and trumpets were noisy.

The king of Jizo flashed out of the array, raised his tin staff, and commanded the army to cover the past.

Alone, Hao Tianlei and Chen Yumei methodically commanded the retreat of the Western Liao army.

Alone, Hao Tianlei and Chen Yumei commanded the army to retreat into the city.

King Jizo then killed: "Hahaha! So vulnerable. ”

The head of the city has hung a "war-free card".

The king of Jizo frowned: "The Western Liao Kingdom is exempt from war, just to delay the time, which makes me miserable." ”

A general: "Please ask the king of Jizo to give an order to attack the city, and his subordinates will guarantee that the city will be broken in two days." ”

Another general: "King Jizo, we don't have to pay attention to this army, we can bypass Hua's family and go straight to Western Liao." ”

King Jizo: "A strong attack will inevitably destroy the lives of people, it is definitely not the best policy, and it is not a good strategy to bypass Hua'sheit, Ruby City relies on the Nihe River moat, you can attack it, and you can defend it when you retreat, if we rush to Xiliao, the Hua's defenders will pour out of the city, and then the front and rear will be surrounded, and our army can not care about each other, but the whole army will be annihilated." ”

General: "So what's going on?" ”

The King of Jizo looked at the Tao Tao Ni River: "You must capture Fahrenheit first, and there is no need to worry about the future." It's winter now, it's the dry season, God help me. They can fill in the river to stop our army, but we can reroute the river to break the city. ”

General: "How do I change my route?" ”

King Jizo: "The city of Ruby runs through the city by the Ni River, and the people have relied on it for thousands of years. If we divert the river Ni and turn it through the city into a way around the city, there will be chaos in the city. Moreover, after the diversion, the waterway becomes a land route, and the ruby city will be unsafe to defend, and it will not be attacked at that time. With my 400,000-strong army, we can divert the Ni River in two days. ”

General: "The Jizo King has a clever plan, and his subordinates will immediately send orders to deploy." ”

On this side, alone, Hao Tianlei, Chen Yumei, Tong Wei, Bajian and the prefect of Lubi City and others reunited at a table.

Tong Wei raised his glass: "Generals, the battle of Nihe, the holy woman took the lead, and has delayed the king of Jizo for a day, I have reported that the Western Liao Kingdom is in trouble today, thanks to the great help of the generals of the Nanzhao Kingdom, I am grateful." ”

Hao Tianlei: "The general's words are serious, and now the two countries have turned hostility into friendship, and they are no longer separated from each other, and there is no need to see each other." ”

A sergeant came to report: "The 400,000 troops of the Jizo King have arrived outside the city. They are digging the river. ”

Tong Wei: "Excavating the river? Why? ”

Bajian was not without worries: "I'm afraid that the king of Jizo will intercept the water first, and then decide to release the water in the end." At that time, the city of Ruby will leave no chickens and dogs. ”

Hao Tianlei: "As a human being, the King of Jizo will never be so sinister and vicious. In addition to intercepting and releasing water, the king of Jizo must have had other plans for digging the river. ”

Tong Wei turned to the prefect: "Lord Prefect, what will happen if the Ruby City is cut off?" ”

Prefect: "Generals, this government does not know about the war, but I only know that Fahrenheit cannot do without water, if the Ni River is diverted and the water in the city is cut off, there will be chaos in less than two days." ”

Garrison: "In terms of war, Ruby City relies on the Ni River moat, if the water is cut off, Fahrenheit will be in no danger to defend." The army of the Jizo King can be driven straight in. ”

Hao Tianlei: "This makes it clear that now the Jizo King's fleet has run aground, and there are no ships, so they can only attack by land." ”

TONG Wei; "Generals, just drink and have fun today. If you want to know the king of Jizo, you will know when you go to the city tomorrow. ”

Alone, Hao Tianlei, Chen Yumei, Tong Wei, Bajian, and the garrison of the prefect of Lupi City observed the enemy situation on the city tower.

Outside the city, countless armies are digging rivers. Only the junction between the old and new river diversions has not yet been excavated.

Hao Tianlei: "Everyone, please see, the 400,000 army excavated the river, and within two days, the Nihe River could be diverted and go around the city, but the place where the river was diverted has not yet been excavated, just because the dry soil is convenient for excavation, and the river will be finally connected and released after the river is transformed." ”

Tong Wei: "What the general said is extremely true. We can send out surprise troops tonight to excavate the diversion and release water first, so that it will not be able to carry out the work, or the construction period will be greatly extended. ”

Hao Tianlei nodded and said, "The King of Jizo is a very smart person." Instead of fighting wits, we must be very careful. ”

Shan Shan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Although the king of Jizo is smart, if you want to talk about wit, how can you be the prince's opponent." ”

The crowd was stunned, then laughed.

I just felt out of my temper and blushed with shame.

The king of Jizo paced and wandered in the tent, as if in deep thought.

The general came to report: "Kai Jizo King, the enemy army has dug up the diversion first, the deepest water depth has reached more than one person high, the river channel can no longer be excavated, please show the Jizo King." ”

King Jizo sneered: "Haha, haha! Clever, self-righteous clever. Someone helped me dig the river. Hahaha! If you go down, you don't have to pay attention to it, and you will dig up from the downstream in shifts day and night, and the embankment will be broken in a few days. ”

The general suddenly realized: "Yes, obey the order." "Hurried out of the account.

Alone, Hao Tianlei, Chen Yumei, Tong Wei, Bajian, and the garrison of the prefect of Luby City went upstairs again to observe.

Hao Tianlei secretly complained: "I thought that breaking the embankment and releasing water could delay the diversion period of the King of Jizo, but I didn't expect to help him a lot, but now the river is excavated from the bottom to the top, and the city will be broken soon!" ”

Bai Wei: "The general doesn't have to worry, the horse ordered us to wait for three days to defend the ruby city, just to stop the enemy for three days and buy time, not to defend the ruby city." For now, we can at least stop King Jizo's trip for three more days in Ruby City, and the horses will be worry-free. ”

Hao Tianlei: "How to say this, I hope the general will make it clear." ”

Tong Wei was confident: "From now on ten miles to the east, there is a mountain range called the wild goose cliff, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the only way to lead to Xiliao by land, we can hold the mountain first, to wait for work, with this risk, it is not a problem to block the king of Jizo for two days." ”

Hao Tianlei: "This is very good, in order to prevent the king of Jizo from still traveling by water." It is necessary to destroy his ships and force him to attack by land. ”

Tong Wei: "How about the general lead his men and horses to retreat, burn all the warships of the King of Jizo, and force him to take the dry road?" ”

Hao Tianlei: "Very good! ”

On this side, the officials beat the gong and shouted along the street: "All the people listen to the order: the king of Jizo has cut off the water, the ruby city can only be broken in a few days, after the king of Jizo breaks the city, burn and loot, force the good to become prostitutes, and all the people quickly escape - bang, bang-"

After a while, but seeing the people helping the old and the young, they rushed out of the city to flee.

Outside the palace, Tong Wei commanded the army to evacuate Ruby City.

Alone, Hao Tianlei and Chen Yumei commanded the army to fall from the sky. Burned all the ships that King Jizo had stranded.

The Jizo king's defending soldiers resisted desperately, but none of them surrendered, and all of them were killed.

King Jizo inspects the construction site.

The spy Pegasus reported: "The king of Qiqi Jizo, most of the people of Ruby City have fled, and the 100,000 troops of the Western Liao Kingdom are missing, and there is only one empty city left in Ruby City at present." ”

Jizo King: "Oh? Predictable. The order was given, and a small number of sergeants entered the city first, and Qiu did not commit any crimes, and the army followed. ”

King Jizo has taken possession of the palace.

The clerk is writing a notice.

King Jizo signaled: "This is an empty city, and there is no need to put up a list to calm the people." There is no peace. ”

Detective: "King Kaizo, our stranded warships have been burned by the enemy. The enemy was nowhere to be found. ”

King Jizo: "Where are the guards of the ship?" ”

Detective: "The soldiers defending the ship fought hard, but none of them surrendered, and all of them were killed. ”

King Jizo pondered in grief: "Heaven has a way. ”

General: "King Jizo, if the army is so defeated, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue it?" ”

King Jizo: "Don't get dry. This is forcing me to attack by land, and there must be deception in it. Our army has marched all the way, although the attack is overwhelming, the momentum is like a bamboo, but imagine that there is no result, so far there has not been a direct confrontation, not even a single enemy has been injured, such a tactic, it is really strange. ”

General: "Please show me the King of Jizo." ”

King Jizo: "Ordered the army, there is no need to rest, and march to the Western Liao City on the same day." ”
