It had been raining continuously for more than ten days, and in Wei Rui's big tent, the water had reached his ankles, and Wei Rui was unaware of it, still drawing on the topographic map. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"General, you can't stay in this tent any longer, hurry up and rest in the tent on the high place. When Li Zhong came in, he was startled when he saw this scene.

"How is Fenshui rising now?" Wei Rui asked without raising his head.

"Ten months ago according to the general's orders, the Hefei outside the city dug two ditches, General Wang left to lead Fen water to irrigate Pingyang, General Hu to lead Jiang water to irrigate Anyi, these more than ten days even rain every day, now the ditch is full. Li Zhong picked up the small table that had been washed over by the water on the ground and reported the situation.

"Li Zhong, you quickly send Wang Huaijing and Hu Luo to the big tent, I have an urgent military situation to find them. ”

"Yes, General!"

"Also, have the soldiers who went to Shaoyang come back? ”

"Yes, General. ”

Wang Huaijing and Hu Luo were also startled when they entered the big tent, and Wei Rui stood calmly in the water, signaling the two of them to step forward and speak: "Two Lord Sima, now this rain is not stopping, and the deep ditch dug down is already filled with river water, Lord Wang, this rain can't stop, but today I want to give you an important task, and it still can't stop." ”

"General, please. Wang Huaijing clasped his hands into fists and said.

Lord Wang led a team of 1,000 people to the end of two deep ditches outside Hefei to build a city to block the Wei army from the city. Wei Rui looked at the topographic map with his eyes at this time, and motioned for Wang Huaijing to come forward and show him the direction he was going to reach.

"General, but in this rainy weather, how can a city be built?" Wang Huaijing said puzzled.

"It must be quick, I don't care what method you use, this city must be built within ten days, and after the city is built, a large weir will be erected behind the city wall to block the flood in the deep ditch, and not let it lose a penny. ”

Wang Huaijing knew that this matter was extremely difficult, he shook his head in embarrassment and said: "General, this matter is really difficult, and I, Wang Huaijing, am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this responsibility." ”

Wei Rui pressed his hand on Wang Huaijing's shoulder, although his tone was not very urgent, but the anxiety in his eyes was naturally clear to Wang Huaijing.

"Lord Wang, your move is related to the success or failure of the Battle of Hefei in my Great Liang, if there is any mistake, all our hundreds of thousands of troops will be buried here. ”

"General...... In the end, I will obey the order, that is, I will fight to the death, and I will repair the embankment within three days. After Wang Huaijing heard this, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Lord Wang, it's hard work. Wei Rui said gratefully.

"Master Hu listened. Wei Rui then ordered Hu Liu.

"The end will be. ”

"You have more than 200 small boats in your hands, and you have to carry supplies and things for Lord Wang day and night, as well as the things he needs to build a weir. ”

"Yes, the last will obey. ”

"Let's go. Wei Rui saw the two adults leaving, but still didn't hear from Fan Jun, he was very anxious, seven or eight days have passed, Fan Jun still hasn't rushed back from Shaoyang, if he can't come back, it will really be a big mistake.

"General, general, send someone quickly...... Send someone to ......" Li Zhong ran in breathlessly.

"What's wrong?"

Fan Jun is back, and he wants the general to immediately send people to both sides of the deep ditch that has been dug, and to send more people. ”

"Then send someone over quickly. Wei Rui was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and Fan Jun rushed back in time at this time, which really solved the crisis in front of him.

He said he had to bring more ropes and chains. ”

"Ropes and chains?" Wei Rui didn't know what Fan Jun was doing, but since he said so, he must have a reason.

He hurriedly walked out of the big tent with Li Zhong and came to the ditch, Fan Jun was leading his people, a team of ditches to the left and a team to the right of the ditch, the people on both sides of the ditch held ropes and chains in their hands, and there were soldiers with fishing nets in their hands, stacking Arhats up and down.

"Here, tighten the rope in your hand, take your seat, and get ready to ...... Rise. Fan Jun looked at the large and small logs floating upstream, the sergeants on both sides tightened the ropes and chains in their hands, and when the wood floated in front of him, the ropes in their hands stopped the wood, and the soldiers on both sides used hooks to scoop up the wood, pull the ropes, scoop up the wood, put the wood upstream, and shouted slogans in an orderly manner, working together to scoop up hundreds of logs from the water.

"Quick, go and get more sergeants to come and help, go. Wei Rui was pleasantly surprised, Fan Jun was extremely smart, afraid of missing his big event, and transported the wood from Shaoyang in this way, which greatly shortened the time of shipbuilding, he looked at Fan Jun, who was busy directing the salvage of wood, and his heart was both love and pain. It was not until late afternoon that all the timber was salvaged. At this time, the craftsmen in the army began to work on shipbuilding day and night.

"How many days will the ship be built?" asked Wei Rui the lead craftsman.

"Dozens of our craftsmen worked day and night to build a big ship in just over ten years, but the timber had to arrive in time. ”

"Do your part, and it will never delay your use. ”

"General, the matter of timber is not a big deal, the most important thing now is that the built big ship should be parked in the ditch, and the weir in front of the ditch should be higher, so as not to be discovered by the Wei army. Li Zhong looked at these big ships that had been built with some concern.

"That's what I'm worried about. Wei Rui sighed lightly.

The Northern Wei scouts are urgently rushing to Xiao Baoyin's big tent, when it rains heavily, the scouts are not close to the Liang army, the heavy rain has stopped a little in the past few days, and among the Liang army on the opposite side, there are suddenly two more big ditches, and a city is erected in front of the ditch, which can not help but surprise them.

"What?" Xiao Baoyin shouted.

"That is, in just a few days, the Nanliang army has built a city, and there are two very large and wide ditches next to the city, I don't know what to do?"

"I don't know what to do, so what's the use of you?" Xiao Baoyin shouted angrily.

"I'm afraid that they are going to flood Hefei City, so report to Lord Du quickly and prepare early. ”

"Hmph, I don't think this group of Nanban has such a big amount of water to flood Hefei, but Du Taishou over there, you will immediately send someone to report, as for the newly built city, immediately prepare horses for me, I will go in person and demolish it." ”

Outside Wang Huaijing City, when the heavy rain first stopped, the soldiers defending the city suddenly found that a large number of iron cavalry from the Northern Wei Dynasty were rushing to Huaijing City.

"Tell your Excellency that the enemy's cavalry will soon be in the city. ”

Wang Huaijing was in the city tower at this time, he had also seen the enemy's iron cavalry coming like crazy, and now it was too late to inform General Wei, Wang Huaijing took out the sword at his waist: "Prepare to roll the wood thunder stone, and defend the city for me." ”

"Yes. ”

Wang Huaijing looked around, there were only hundreds of soldiers on his side, he didn't know how long he could hold out, so he had to write an urgent military report and order someone to send it to Wei Rui's army.

"General Wang, let's let go of wolf smoke, in case there are our own people nearby, we can also come over to support. The soldier beside Wang Huaijing reminded him.

Wang Huaijing looked at the Northern Wei cavalry that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and had to nod in agreement. When he was ordered to come over to build this city, he did not understand General Wei's intentions, at this time he saw the Wei soldiers who rushed towards him like crazy, and then looked at Hefei City not far away, and seemed to understand something in his heart, but at this time he understood, and there was no meaning, the troops in his hands were too small to resist the iron cavalry of the Wei soldiers......
