When Oswin called Kapil back, Kapil was confused. Flood? How can this be? No rain!
Although Kapil also noticed that the water in Helmand had risen slightly during this period, and the river silted up due to mountain collapse, Kapil did not take it as a big deal, so the impact was not big.
But actually, the reason why the water here is not rising significantly is that there are two dams upstream of them.
One is the barrier lake embankment built by Salman, and from time to time because the edge of Salman's camp was flooded, Salman blew up the obstruction formed by the collapsed mountain, so the strength of that embankment is the most ridiculous. Because Salman may explode the barrier lake at any time.
Even before, Salman directly blasted the collapse area because his camp was flooded twice. The result was that the strength of this embankment was simply unbearable.
This is why Chen Gong and others were forced to choose to tell Oswin the answer to the puzzle, because Salman upstream could flood the edge of his camp at any time with silted river water, and then blast away the collapse area, causing Chen Gong to The plan of others is directly on the verge of death.
As for the second embankment, needless to say, it is the fortress of the Han army. The problem is that the upper reaches are causing trouble. Originally, Xun Yu's back-up plan was to accumulate floods in front of the fortress, and then open the city gate in front, allowing the fortress to be flooded. Open the city gate at the back to form a single hole for flood discharge.
This power is very terrifying, and because the floods accumulated in the fortress valley are used to discharge the floods, Oswin downstream has no resistance at all.
As for the Han Dynasty itself, it only needs to stay at the city head for a while. However, there is a barrier lake of Salman further upstream, and it is the kind of structural garbage that even Chen Palace is a little panicked. Don’t look at the barrier lake. There are still a few days before the water level reaches the fortress to open the city gate, but if Salman blasts the barrier lake at the edge of the camp because his house is flooded today...
Let alone wait until ten days, let's put it this way, it will be no problem if the flood reaches the top of the city today.
Although this is a situation where Salman's flood came down and submerged the Han army, the Han army's single-hole flood discharge ensured that it would suffer heavy losses, but it would not be finished. However, what Oswin faced further downstream was not a flood. It's a mudslide. To put it simply, no matter what miracle or not, everyone is equal in a mudslide.
The problem is that even the Han army itself was tricked, so after thinking about it, Chen Gong and others discussed the situation with Cao Cao and decided to tell Oswin about the situation. Although the other party was a fool, this fool relied on the situation to let them The answer was given directly.
After all, they won the grievance. If the flood could be controlled, they would be happy to die on the opposite side, but now the flood is rolling down, and it is not only Oswin who is finished, but also Cao Cao and the others.
So Chen Gong directly had a showdown with Oswin, saying that Oswin quickly informed Salman not to blast the mountain wall upstream, and then they let Oswin escape from the outer mountain wall, and then the Han army blasted the barrier lake downstream, and then they Go back to Kandahar.
As for the barrier lake caused by Salman upstream, to be honest, this is the big problem. Blasting will definitely not be possible, but collapse is only a matter of time.
Because Beigui’s research on mountain structures is basically zero, and its research on barrier lakes is also zero. But now the river barrier lake caused by mountain collapse has appeared upstream, the water potential has been cut off, and flood sedimentation has become a reality. Likewise, the inevitable collapse caused by structural waste is only a matter of time.
To make it clear, everyone is about to die now. If Salman blasts the barrier lake now, we will suffer heavy losses at most, and you will definitely die from the mudslide.
But Salman doesn't blast the barrier lake. If you don't let us go, a lot of floods will have accumulated in front of our fortress. We can also take the initiative to blast Salman's barrier lake, and then the two super large dams will converge. Together, there is not much difference, you are still going to die.
In short, the situation is like this. You can either blow up the dams you have erected, dredge the river, and let us leave, or your entire army will be wiped out and we will suffer heavy losses. Choose one of the two, which one do you choose?
"That's what he wrote in the letter, but I don't know what the situation is." Oswin said quite distressedly, "Although logically speaking, we must stop anything the enemy wants to do. , but I think it should still be up to you and Bankim to judge.”
Kapil's face turned blue after reading this, "Inform Salman quickly and don't let him blast the barrier lake upstream. Has the uppermost reaches of Helmand entered the rainy season now?"
"Ah, yes." Oswin nodded and said. He didn't realize what the problem was, and his expression showed almost no ups and downs.
Kapil's face was not green, but the color faded in an instant. At this time, the upstream has entered the rainy season. Why didn't you tell me? I thought it never rained here!
Kapil's plan of blasting the mountain wall and bypassing the fortress was no problem. The only problem was that he was not a bridge construction major and did not have a good understanding of the mountain structure, which caused the mountain to collapse and accumulate, causing the river to block.
This has no impact under normal circumstances, because even if the mountain collapses, it is not completely blocked, and there is not so much siltation of the river water, and it has almost seeped out. After all, the dam is not that easy to build.
But now that the upstream has entered the rainy season, the drainage itself is not good, and the river is blocked. It's a damn thing if it doesn't silt up. What can Kapil do if his best strategy encounters such a situation where the right time and place are all wrong?
"Don't panic, don't panic, don't we still have the advantage? What's there to be afraid of?" Oswin said with a smile. He didn't think there was any danger at all. The Han Dynasty was very powerful, but if it was really that That's awesome. Why should the other party tell them? Why don't they just let them die?
Kapil took a deep breath. Although his sanity began to evaporate due to the collapse of the situation, one thing Oswin said was right. This was not the real crisis yet, and Kapil's mind was still more or less online, so After being confused for a while, I regained some of my sanity.
"The situation cannot be controlled. Blow up the collapsed area, dredge the river valley, let the Han Dynasty go, notify Salman to retreat, and rebuild the dike upstream. We must not let the barrier lake collapse now." Kapil took a deep breath. In one breath, although the situation is critical, the problem can be solved if the mind is still there.
"Wait, why? We finally surrounded the Han Dynasty. In a day or two, we can surround the Han army's fortress from outside the mountain wall. By then we will basically win!" Oswin did not understand what was happening. What, directly blocked Kapil.
Kapil's face turned blue and he began to explain to Oswin, but Oswin couldn't understand it at all, ah, the whole army was wiped out? Is it so dangerous? Besides, if the Han army wants to abandon the city and flee, then according to the art of war, they should stop the Han army and prevent them from running away.
Now the Han army is threatening us, saying that if we don't blow up the blockage area and clear the river valley, they will release floods to submerge us. So shouldn't they be allowed to release floods in turn? God knows if their floods are so powerful!
Because he has used floods before, Oswin's impression of floods is just ordinary. They can't even kill the fortress on the opposite side. They can definitely withstand it. After all, they are mountain people and have never seen many floods. The only way to use it manually is to use it manually. Even once, it didn't work, so Oswin's understanding of floods was somewhat biased.
Kapil scratched his head, how should he explain to Oswin that the floods in Oswin were accumulated upstream during the dry season, and now it was a flash flood during the rainy season.
Kapil tried his best to explain to Oswin that a flash flood had broken out now, what kind of power it would have under the accumulation of double dams, and how devastating the mudslide would be, but for someone who had seen the flood, even the Han army's fortress couldn't do it. For Oswin who fell, it’s quite unbelievable. Flood, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before...
Just like when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army in the official history, Cao Wei's generals were not unprepared. Even people like Yu Jin had seen civil servants use floods to flood Xiapi, flood Jizhou City, etc., Yu Jin Even participated.
Therefore, in Yu Jin's impression, the so-called water plan is just that. I have sent people to prepare for it, and then the flood high on the city wall came...
Oswin also has the same mentality. I have used Flood before, and its power is just that. Is it as scary as you said?
Kapil could only call the others over. It turned out that most of the generals here were from Beigui and had never seen many floods. Ardashir was from Parthia and had no clear understanding of floods. In addition, Oswin showed up and said that he had only used Flood some time ago, and its power was only that much. Aldashir was no longer panicking.
Kapil said that I have gone crazy. My teammates all thought that the flood was just drizzle. Legion attacked and blew up the flood. I am so panicked that I want to die now.
"Don't worry, Kapil, just blast your mountain wall. Isn't there still one day or something before we break into the edge of the Han army's fortress?" Oswin decompressed Kapil and said to continue blasting the mountain wall. , what do they believe in what the Han Dynasty says? Don't panic! I, Oswin, have personally verified floods, and the floods of the Helmand River are not good!
As for Bankim, Bankim used to be a Brahmin and did not understand the climate of Beigui at all. In addition, Kapil had a dark history of mental collapse and sanity being wiped out. After thinking about it for a while, Bankim decided to believe that the flood was used some time ago. of Oswin.
Who let facts speak louder than words? After this situation occurred, Kapil became even more panicked. After panicking, his intelligence became even more unreliable, and others felt that Kapil was suffering from a disease.
