Chapter 420: When Manpower Is Poor

When Ugong Zhaolie quietly led his troops to retreat, the Yan army carried out two more rounds of fierce attacks, and after these two rounds of fierce attacks, the large Heavenly Maiden scattered flowers brought by Yuan Qi in the army have all been used up, coupled with the effect of a large number of red-clothed crossbows, there are already some sections of the city wall at the head of Wei City that have collapsed, revealing the internal scene of the city.

Pang Tong immediately found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Yuan Qi: "King Yan, the situation is not right. There are many banners on the head of the city, but the actual number of people walking around is not large, and they all think that it is not that our army's onslaught has completely suppressed the Unomiya army, but that Umiya Terulie is ready to escape, and the people who remain on the city are just some outcasts!"

Listening to Pang Tong's words, Yuan Qi gradually sobered up from the furious killing, and his reddened eyes gradually returned to their former clarity, and he looked carefully at the city for a while, and said with some regret: "What the prime minister said is right, Unomiya Terulie must have slipped away." It's hateful, so many heavenly maidens scattered flowers have been wasted in vain. Command the whole army, launch a strong attack, and within half an hour, you must take Wei County!"

In response, under Yuan Qi's death order, all the units of the Yan army marched forward bravely, cooperating with each other to launch a strong attack on Wei City, wave after wave of offensives, like a tide of continuous impact on the walls of Wei City, making Yuan Ye who stayed at the head of the city feel very difficult. Originally, as a broken army, Yuan Ye did not have many people in his hands, at best there were only more than 3,000 people, originally he wanted to consume two more rounds of ammunition of the Yan army, and then led his troops to retreat, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to see through his intentions so quickly, Yuan Qi commanded the departments to launch a strong attack, if Yuan Ye retreats now, it will completely lose the meaning of the broken queen, it is estimated that the main force led by Ugong Zhaolie has not even completely walked out of the city gate on the other side.

In order for Ugong Terulie to retreat smoothly, Yuan Ye had to grit his teeth and stay. With just more than 3,000 soldiers in his hands, he fought to the death with the Yan army, trying to buy more time for Ugong Terulie. However, Yuan Ye is not a military general after all, although he is an extremely good strategist, but the on-the-spot command is still a little lacking, not to mention that he is still facing the wolf-like Yan army!

After a period of desperate resistance led by Yuan Ye, Wei Cheng was finally lost, and all the more than 3,000 Yugong troops under Yuan Ye were killed by the Yan army who climbed to the top of the city along the ladder, and Yuan Ye himself was only spared. But his right leg was also slashed heavily, and a wound more than a foot long and deep to the bone made Yuan Ye temporarily lose the ability to stand, fall in a pool of blood, and become a prisoner.

When Yuan Qi stepped to the head of Wei City, only three quarters of an hour had passed since he ordered the attack on Wei City.

Yuan Qi stepped on corpses and blood all over the place to come to Yuan Ye, stretched out his hand and pulled out the Red Sky Divine Sword, put it on Yuan Ye's neck, and asked in a cold voice, "Where did Unomiya Terulie go?"

Yuan Ye raised his head and glanced at Yuan Qi, and said with a smile: "King Wei is now in a safe place, King Yan doesn't have to bother looking for it, it's too late." And Ye won't tell King Yan. ”

"Do you think that if you don't say it, this king won't be able to find the whereabouts of Umiya Terulie? Don't forget, the hidden dragons under this king's command are pervasive. There is nothing in heaven and earth that they don't know! Since you won't say it, then go to Hades. This king is only afraid that when you reach the Nine Springs, you will have no shame to see the ancestors and ancestors!" Yuan Qi said coldly, while slowly raising the Red Sky Divine Sword, there is a possibility that a sword will be cut down at any time, and Yuan Ye will be killed on the spot.

After Yuan got up, Guan Wei suddenly came out of the crowd, came to the side of Yuan and said: "King Qiyuyan, Ziyang had a relationship with Guan before, Guan knew that although Ziyang was committed to the Ugong camp, he didn't really work for Ugong Zhaolie, he just saw the wrong Ugong Zhaolie at the beginning. Please ask King Yan for permission and let Guan persuade Ziyang, if Ziyang insists on refusing to tell the whereabouts of Ugong Zhaolie, it will not be too late to kill. ”

When Yuan Qi heard this, the murderous aura on his body was temporarily retracted, and with a wave of his right hand, the Red Sky Divine Sword was returned to the sheath, and he turned to look into the distance.

Guan Wei clasped his fists at Yuan Qi and said, "Thank you King Yan." Then, Guan Wei walked quickly to Yuan Ye's side, squatted down, tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, and helped Yuan Ye bandage the injury on his right leg, while gently persuading: "Ziyang, in the past, you once said to Guan Mou that you and I were not the master at that time, but now that you say it, Guan Mou has been transferred to the regent, which shows how far-sighted your knowledge is, in this case, why does Ziyang know that Yugong Zhaolie is not the person who can achieve your heart's desire, but he still has to serve him?"

Yuan Ye couldn't help but sigh faintly, and said in a low voice: "In the past, Ye thought that King Wei was a monarch who sincerely considered the people, so he would not avoid infamy and follow him, but later he gradually discovered that King Wei's ambition was so great, alas... Ye Cai understood that he had seen the wrong person, although he had the heart to leave the Great Wei, but he was grateful that although the King of Wei was suspicious and Ye, but after all, he was not thin on Ye, so he never left the Great Wei, that's all, it was not that Ye couldn't see the heart of the King of Wei. As for today's Ye regardless of the sword and axe, it is just to repay the kindness of King Wei. Alas, the matter has come to this, Ye has already repaid the kindness of the King of Wei, can no longer be obsessed, let the people suffer miserably, King Yan, King Wei under the advice of Sima Yi, has withdrawn to Yangping Pass, and on the way to retreat, dig the Yellow River, ready to flood the counties south of Jizhou into an ocean, and ask King Yan to prepare early. ”

Yuan Ye's last sentence caused a series of gasping sounds of cold air among the people behind Yuan to get up! Digging up the Yellow River and diverting water to flood Jizhou is to disregard the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jizhou people!

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. This old saying, which has been passed down through the ages, reappeared in Yuan Qi's mind. Lowering his head and taking a deep look at Yuan Ye, Yuan Qi opened his mouth and said: "Lone will spare your life today and save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, in the future, you can do it yourself, don't live up to the glory and responsibility that your surname brings you." ”

After speaking, Yuan Qi no longer paid attention to Yuan Ye, but turned to Pang Tong and said: "Prime Minister, you immediately assign manpower, while rectifying the order in the city, evacuating the masses to prevent accidents, and digging scattered canals outside the city, you must ensure that the water of the Yellow River will not cause waterlogging to the counties and counties of Jizhou, and you must personally go to find the whereabouts of Ugong Zhaolie, find their water storage place, and destroy their earth-shattering conspiracy!"

After the explanation, Yuan Qi walked quickly to the city, Qi Tian and Zhao Hu followed, and the rest of the Wenchen generals stayed by Pang Tong's side, waiting for Pang Tong to assign specific matters. Just when Yuan Qi's figure was about to disappear from the city, with the support of Guan Wei, Yuan Ye, who was barely standing, suddenly said to Yuan Qi's back: "King Yan! Ye has lived in Wei County for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the terrain in Wei County. ”

Yuan Qi's footsteps paused, and after only two blinks, he resumed his previous movement, and said without looking back: "This is your duty." ”

When Yuan Qi and the three of them walked down the city, Guan Wei smiled and Yuan Ye said, "Ziyang, King Yan has already regarded you as his own." Stretching out his hand and patting Yuan Ye on the shoulder, Guan Wei continued to smile: "Ziyang, welcome to join, we will be comrades fighting side by side in the future." ”

Pang Tong also walked up with a smile and said to Guan Wei and Yuan Ye: "Welcome Ziyang to join." But now is not the time for idle talk, the top priority is that we still have to dig up enough scattered canals as soon as possible, and there will be Lao Ziyang in this matter. ”

Not to mention that Yuan Qi took Qi Tian and Zhao Hu to find out where Sima Yi was going to dig the Yellow River, just that Pang Tong and others, under the guidance of Yuan Ye, dispersed into dozens of teams of men and horses, and began to dig scattered canals in Wei County. Excavation of this kind of work, sounds very simple, but really operated, but it is not an easy task, Jiuqu Yellow River Wanlisha, flowing through Wei County, or flowing through the Yellow River section of Jizhou, is like twists and turns, each turning point after being excavated, will form a different flow direction, causing waterlogging disasters in different places in Jizhou, once the waterlogging disaster really occurs, in this era of underdeveloped medical conditions, it is likely to leave a series of sequelae, such as plague, etc., not the fertile land and houses are washed away, people's lives are threatened and other superficial losses, a series of sequelaeIt is even possible to turn a place that has been hit by flooding into a ruin that is hard to find people and animals in a decade or more.

Therefore, when digging the scattered canal, Pang Tong and others were particularly careful, and the excavation of each scattered canal had to be carefully calculated to ensure that the water of the Yellow River flowing in different directions could be incorporated into the scattered canal and led to uninhabited places or other rivers. And just in case, Pang Tong also sent a flying pigeon to Yanjing in the name of the prime minister, asking one of Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing to come to Wei County as soon as possible, once the flood disaster really happened, it would be good to control the plague, so as not to let the plague walk to the hinterland of Jizhou.

In short, in the next three days, Pang Tong and others were very busy, every Yan army soldier, did not want to see the land flooded, the tragedy of compatriots being drowned in front of them, under the unity of the city, three days later, fifty-six wide scattered canals were dug out, at sunset on the third day, Pang Tong ordered to abandon Wei City, all the residents who had not yet evacuated, with the soldiers, came to a high mountain near Wei City, everyone silently waited for the coming peace or bad luck.
