Borrow from the sky

The first battle was defeated and lost, and almost at the same time received the news of Jiading City behind him, the eight cities of Lizhou are now all in chaos, Liu Zhifu treasoned, and several other cities did not follow him, and they became independent, planning to sell at a price.

"They are using equipment made by Baiqiaotang, and the Takema faction doesn't want to think of a way?" General Wen returned to the City Lord's Mansion and knocked down the table hard.

I have never suffered defeat, and today I have never seen the new equipment, blocking the swordsmen at the front, which is almost useless, and now it seems that the other party has already studied the deployment of the Liang State's military forces thoroughly, and every step is prepared.

"I also think there is a way, but I can't get out now, what should I do?" Meng Changge spread her hands, how did she know that there were so many things on the battlefield, in her mind, it was just fighting and killing.

In fact, there is no gap in the strength of the two sides today, just because the equipment of the Xia State is just restrained, which makes our army unable to exert its strength.

If you take the lead in momentum, it will be difficult to boost morale.

The other party will not give a chance easily, and he will cover up and chase straight to the foot of Daocheng, only to be shot by the strong bow and crossbow above the city gate.

"Fortunately, they have only lost more than 5,000, and now they have not set up a large camp outside, and they have a chance. Luo Shanhe put the report aside, this loss is still acceptable for Daocheng.

Meng Changge must go, and the old soldiers will lead the way and take the trail, bypassing Jiading City, and the news here must be transmitted back to the Bamboo Sect.

"Let the head bring more people, this side may not last too long. ”

"Be careful yourself, don't go to the battlefield in person if you don't know martial arts. Dream Changge rode his horse and left quickly.

Luo Shanhe thought thoughtfully: How can there be a military advisor who charges into battle? But he can't help but rush up, or go to the martial arts hall to learn two tricks?

There are two cisterns in the city, the clean water in them is enough to supply the army for more than a month, and there are hundreds of granaries of all sizes, which are filled with new grain for the past two years.

The fertile land outside the city and the clear water of Lake Xiema have created such a unique city, which should have become a prosperous Daocheng, but because of the geographical environment, it has become what it is now.

The sand and dust brought by the wind blowing through the desert made the city wall crack a little for a long time, and from a distance it looked like an old man in the twilight with a face full of yellow sand.

There are a lot of soldiers patrolling around, and there are many secret posts and bunkers around.

Not even a single sand snake could pass through here and enter the city gates, let alone the spies who followed them.

In just a moment's time, the news from the city gate had already caught more than thirty scouts who wanted to spy on intelligence, and they were all dragged into the bunker and arrested.

The underground passages can lead to the city, and until fifty miles away, the underground passages are much more complicated than the buildings in the city.

The top floors of all the buildings had fireproof cloths to prevent them from being ignited by incoming rockets during the siege.

Luoshanhe used his speed to patrol around Daocheng for a week, and now he is at an absolute disadvantage, and there is no change in Jiading City.

"General Wen, blindly defending is not the way, while their foothold is not stable, they still have to go out of the city to meet the enemy. "Looking far away from the city wall, not far from the opposite side, the Xia army has begun to set up camp.

From what can be seen, it seems that the other party has made up his mind to stay here for a long time, after all, they are backed by Xiema Lake, and their water source does not have to worry.

"It's okay to hold on, it's the rainy season now, do you know how this Xiema Lake came from?" General Wen saw that the morale in the city was low, and he was unwilling to fight again at this time.

"Did Xiema Lake come out of the rain?" Luoshanhe suddenly realized that there was no spring in Xiema Lake, so it appeared here out of thin air.

"The rainy season here lasts for months, and most of them rain heavily, and they don't have any cities and facilities, so they can't surround it for long. ”

Daocheng was built at the highest point around, and Luoshanhe thought of a clever plan and hurriedly walked down the city tower.

"How much water can this cistern hold?" The cistern in the city was as high as the city wall, and there was nearly half of the space below the ground, and the soldiers in charge of maintaining the cistern saw King Wen coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to talk.

"Two cisterns can live for more than half a month for 300,000 troops and the inhabitants of the city. ”

"If you open the city gate and the secret passage, can you flood it below?" Luo Shanhe took out the map and let the soldiers and craftsmen here take a look.

Since the terrain is much higher, wouldn't it be much less labor-saving to use water directly.

After reading the map, the craftsmen saw that the camp was less than five miles away, and if all the water from the reservoir was released, they would be able to reach it in an instant.

"Then build it, connect the secret passage to the bottom of the cistern, and dig the gate directly opposite. ”

Hearing the arrangement, the craftsmen hesitated, if this plan failed, then Daocheng would abandon the city and surrender in less than seven days because there was no water supply.

General Wen thought about it again and again, but nodded and agreed.

The next thing is to wait quietly for the rainstorm to come, Luoshan River is looking at the city from afar every day, Xia Guo's camp is being built much faster than expected, it should be with the help of Baiqiaotang, and the machinery brought by it has helped a lot.

The pace of the arrival of the rainy season will not be stagnant because of the battle of mortals on the ground, and the sky on the third day is already gloomy like ink, Xia Nishang saw the sky and stared at it for a long time.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly called Wu Daoren over, this military advisor's mind was very flexible, and the previous arrangement of troops effectively restrained the headache of the swordsmen of the Liang State.

"When are we going to attack the city?" Xia Nishang was worried that if it rained for ten days and a half months, it would be extremely unfavorable for the besieging side.

When Wu Daoren came, his face was not very good-looking, and he had just learned that the rainy season here was actually more than three months after visiting the people in the countryside.

"The rainy season here is long, about three months. If you don't attack the city these days, you will have to withdraw your troops for the time being. Wu Daoren told the situation truthfully, but he faintly had a very subtle feeling, that is, he couldn't say it.

At that moment, the lightning in the sky and the downpour finally wet the ground, and soon the ground inside the camp became muddy.

In this case, the accuracy of the bow and arrow and the speed of the soldiers were greatly affected, and with this rain line, the field of vision could not be seen five meters away.

In just one hour, tents were crushed, the improvised drainage canals in the camp were overwhelmed, and although the terrain was higher than Lake Shema, the water flowed backwards, but the camp's facilities were rudimentary, and the soldiers were mostly soaked in the rain.

For a long time, he absolutely couldn't hold on, and his subordinates were crowded in the tent of the Chinese army, and the joy of the great victory was gone.

When wet by the rain, those already heavy armor and shields will drag the soldiers down, unable to move in place, let alone rushing uphill to attack the city.

Daocheng only needs to hold on for a while, and they naturally have to retreat and send back the hard-won gains.

"Three months?" No one expected that the weather here would be so strange, and the generals had never seen such a long rainy season in the Xia Kingdom, and the generals retreated.

"The elite disciples of Baiqiao Hall are already ready to go, let them go to a nearby place to investigate the situation first. Xia Nishang arranged for the disciples she brought over to go to the vicinity of Daocheng to see what was going on.

They wear special coats to minimize the impact of rain.

Luoshanhe looked carefully at the city wall, and could vaguely see the blurred gray shadow moving rapidly, and only slowly left after a circle around the city wall.

I was not in a hurry, so I waited for the craftsmen in the city to dig the passage.

Born and raised in Lizhou, they had their own means of coping with the strange weather, and the waterways dug out from the cistern to the city gates were washed with lime water and smoothed.

A large amount of rainwater falls in the cistern, and it is clearly visible that the water level is rising, and it will not be long before the water overflows.

The underground tunnel can be easily modified to lead to the front of the opponent's camp.
