…
The heavy rain continued for more than ten days with no sign of stopping.
Liushan Fort is located in a dangerous location, but it is surrounded by plains and mountains and dense forests, forming a natural basin.
Looking at the rain gradually increasing, the stream where the rainwater gathered was blocked by the muddy road and turned into a knee-high river. Looking at the pouring rain showing no sign of stopping, Yue Shaomu immediately had concerns.
He immediately set off to look at the higher mountains of Xu Sheng and Zhu Heng camps to inspect the terrain.
Sure enough, a natural reservoir was found high up in the dense forest, and the overflowing rainwater just slid towards Liushan Fort.
"Send an order to Zhu Heng and order his troops to cut down trees on the spot to form a raft."
"Instruct Xu Sheng to build the dam along the reservoir and make sure it is firm."
Yue Shaomu had just finished issuing the order, and Lu Ziming already understood his intention.
"General Yue, are you planning to..."
"That's right, the water attack strategy can wait for work. We can annihilate Fukang's main force in one fell swoop and capture Liushan Fort along the way. We have been delayed here long enough. It's time to give the enemy a hard blow to end this war."
Lu Ziming was deeply convinced by Yue Shaomu's words.
…
In Liushan Fort, Chen Zhao's troops also had a difficult time. The harsh climate environment caused the rice in the warehouse to become damp and moldy. Coupled with the long-term mental torture, everyone's mentality also changed from the initial enthusiasm to indifference.
Of course, the main reason for all this is that the Korean army only besieged but not attacked. Due to the sparse troops, they knew that the surrounding strongholds were being exterminated one by one by the Han army, but they had no choice but to watch.
Chen Zhao tried several times to attack the enemy camp to reverse the situation, but he was forced back by Yue Shaomu. The casualties were minor, but the insult was extremely humiliating.
In addition, the delay in the arrival of the Jin Army was also the main reason for the collapse of the morale of the Liushan Fort army.
Seeing that the situation is becoming more and more difficult, Chen Zhao is also at a loss what to do.
…
On the Fukang Army's side, after Fukang returned to the main camp, he continued to lead his troops to advance towards Liushan Fort, vowing to regain his face, despite the dissuasion of Cao Ying and others.
Since the cavalry was almost completely lost, the Jin soldiers lost their most important mobile unit, causing their march to be extremely slow.
But we still arrived at the outskirts of Liushan Fort on the fifth day of September.
"General Fu, why don't you send someone to investigate? In case..."
"Hmph, Dongyi definitely didn't expect me to leave and come back, so he would be careless and give up the ambush. This is a God-given opportunity for my army to rescue Liushan Fort."
Fukang was full of confidence, as if the embarrassing defeat some time ago no longer existed, and he was determined to annihilate these Dongyi who had disgraced him.
Cao Ying wanted to persuade him again, but he finally held back.
In fact, he also had a bit of luck, hoping that these Dongyi would not continue to ambush in the dense forest. After all, how could one successfully set up an ambush and continue to set up ambush in the same place?
"The whole army listens to the order, rest for an hour, and then attack after lunch! The time to make great achievements is now!"
This time, Fukang decided to let the soldiers eat before fighting, so that they would have enough physical strength to cope with the fierce battle that followed.
The enemy's firearms did not scare Fukang, because he had also seen matchlock guns purchased from Dongyi in the palace. If he thought about it carefully, it was not a big deal.
On the contrary, the enemy's military formation made him feel a lot of pressure. He vowed to wait until the battle was over, capture several Dongyi generals, and offer them to Honglin for training methods, which would definitely make him happy.
…
Capital City, Jinluan Palace...
Honglin finally returned to the capital. Facing the sight of hundreds of officials worshiping him, the emperor was very satisfied.
"My beloved sirs, is everything going well in the capital during my southern tour?"
Prince Yunyan immediately came out: "Let me tell you, father, everything in the capital is fine."
Honglin glanced at Yunyan and curled his lips slightly: "Really? Are you really okay?"
Yunyan was startled, and then he said bravely: "Reporting to the emperor, during the period when I was in charge of the country, all the ministers, big and small, were helping me handle all matters, so there was basically nothing serious."
"snort……"
Honglin snorted softly.
"You're fine. Do you really think I don't know anything? I ask you, why didn't you report the news of Dongyi's invasion to me?"
Hearing this, Yun Yan immediately knelt down and said, "Father, I did not intend to conceal the truth, but I know that my father has worked hard for the country and the country for half his life.
Dongyi is just a small country in Guo'er and refuses to obey the power of heaven. I believe that I can help my father drive them out of our land of Dajin. This is my filial piety. "
As he said this, Yunyan's eyes turned red and she burst into tears.
I have to say that this acting skill is amazing, and all the ministers mentioned were moved by it. They know the prince's filial piety, which can be learned from the sun and the moon.
Honglin narrowed his eyes and said, "Then how did you deal with it?"
Yun Yan said: "My son has ordered Fukang to lead our 40,000-strong army from Beijing to the south. We will definitely be able to eliminate the Dongyi invasion in one go!"
Honglin frowned: "Are you transferred out of Beijing without permission?"
Yunyan was startled, and hurriedly explained: "Father, the situation is urgent, and I have no choice but to make this decision. With General Fu, who is powerful in China, leading the troops, he will be able to attack Dongyi in one fell swoop and gain another share for the emperor." Achievements!”
These words made Honglin frown even more, secretly thinking that this traitor actually bothered to join my army?
Fukang is the "Megatron China" he has personally dubbed. If there is an accident, wouldn't he have to shirk the responsibility on himself?
Although Honglin was just a group of Dongyi people and he didn't think Fukang couldn't handle them, Yunyan's words still made him feel very uncomfortable.
So, he decided to give Yun Yan a beating and find a way out for himself: "Prince, you are acting too hastily. How can military affairs be such a trivial matter?
Let me ask you, what if Fukang loses? "
Yunyan replied directly without thinking: "No, I believe that General Fu will succeed immediately."
Honglin heard this and said angrily: "I'm asking you what will happen if you lose!"
Yunyan was startled and hesitated for a while, unable to answer.
Honglin sneered: "It seems that you have never thought about this possibility? Is this how you do things for me?
How do I educate you on a daily basis? Think twice about everything, have you done this? "
Yunyan hurriedly buried his head on the ground: "My son, I will obey my father's teachings."
Honglin continued: "The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Although Dongyi is no more than a clown, the way to use troops should still be cautious. The so-called..."
"Report~~Urgent report~~"
When Hong Lin was about to teach Yun Yan a lesson in the palace, a eunuch shouted in a voice like a drake, held up the military report, and hurried into the hall.
…
Outside Liushan Fort, after lunch, Fukang led his troops into the dense forest path again.
As expected, there was no ambush again this time, but as the saying goes, one learns from every experience. For safety reasons, Fukang allowed some soldiers and horses to go into the dense forest to avoid the same tragedy.
When Lu Ziming, who was at a high place, saw the enemy troops entering the dense forest, his pupils suddenly gave off a sharp and fierce light.
"Notify each battalion that the enemy has formed an ambush circle. After placing them in Liushan Fort, everything will proceed as planned."
