"Don't you know how to raise it? How can we fight with so much food soaked in water and the soldiers having diarrhea?"
Yan Xi was in a bad mood and took it out on the grain official.
The grain officer was too depressed to say anything back. He just sighed helplessly: "If the water does not recede, this house will collapse."
In ancient times, there were not so many brick houses. Most of them were made of mud and were just a wall.
This granary is also made of rammed mud walls. After being soaked in water, the wall base has begun to melt.
Yan Xi glanced at the soaked foot of the wall and left the granary helplessly.
After crossing the useless sand wall, Yan Xi walked towards the commander's mansion.
When they got outside, Yan Xi didn't look for the ghost fetus, but asked someone to look for Feng Erniang.
After a while, Feng Erniang came over, and Yan Xi came up with a flattering look on her face.
"Chief escort, please tell me something. There is too much water in the city, and the military rations have been soaked. If this continues..."
Before Yan Xi finished speaking, Feng Erniang said: "This is military affairs. General Yan will talk to his master himself."
After saying that, Feng Erniang turned around and entered the backyard.
Feng Erniang is only responsible for guarding the ghosts and collecting intelligence. She doesn't care about the military affairs.
Of course, also because this is a mess, best left alone. www.八一zw.????m
Yan Xi had no choice but to linger outside the door for a while, then bravely went in to report.
After kneeling at the door to report, Guitai said coldly: "I have read the records. This rain will not last for a few days. Let them endure it for a little longer."
The rainy season lasts for two months, but the continuous heavy rain lasts only about ten days. Guitai wants to wait for the rain to stop.
Yan Xi immediately bowed and said, "This slave accepts the order!"
After exiting the commander's residence, Yan Xi walked around the city, hearing curses all over him.
"When we serve as soldiers, we have to eat food. Even if the food we give is not enough, it's damn moldy! They feed us like pigs!"
"If I don't sleep well and eat well, I won't fight any more. I want to go home!"
"We are the soldiers no one wants. Look at the Imperial Army. They have lost the battle and still have food to eat!"
"Aren't there still fishes on the streets? Let's catch them and eat them!"
Yan Xi knew that a mutiny was bound to happen if things continued like this, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.
...
After a few days, the heavy rain slowly stopped and the sun finally came out.
The top of Hukou Mountain.
Long Chen came out of the cave and suddenly felt that the sun was not bad.
The heavy rain had been falling for a long time, and it was very uncomfortable to hide in the wet cave.
"Compared to here, Shengxue Peak is much more comfortable."
Long Chen smiled.
Gongsun Linglong scratched his arm and said, "There are too many mosquitoes here, they will bite me to death."
Gan Zhen looked at the sun and said, "Sir, the rain has stopped and Linhu City can take a breather. Should we strike while the iron is hot?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "The rain has stopped, it's time for us to start. Let's blow up the trees at the entrance of the lake first."
Gan Zhen immediately took people down.
Gongsun Linglong asked curiously: "Explode? Why did you want to blow up the lake entrance?"
Once the mouth of the lake explodes and the water level drops, the water in Linhu City will also recede. She doesn't understand why this is done.
Long Chen said: "You still want to squat here?"
Gongsun Linglong shook her head. She didn't want to be bitten by mosquitoes anymore.
Long Chen smiled and said: "If you don't want to be bitten by mosquitoes, then blow up the mouth of the lake and we can leave."
Gongsun Linglong knew that Long Chen had his own considerations, so he didn't ask any further questions and immediately packed up his things and prepared to leave.
Gan Zhen led his men, lit the incense in a jar filled with explosives, and then added heavy objects to seal it.
The fishing boat rowed upstream, and Gan Zhen put the jar down.
The jar has a heavy object and slowly sinks into the water, then floats with the current towards the mouth of the lake.
More than a hundred cans floated past at the same time and were stopped by the big tree.
The incense burned out, the gunpowder detonated, and there were muffled sounds under the water. Some of the dead branches and trees were shattered, and they began to break and deform under the squeeze of the water pressure.
Finally, the giant tree was broken, and the water flowed down, making a huge roar.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Long Chen looked at the rushing water at the mouth of the lake and said, "It's time to go back!"
...
Linhu City.
There was still deep water in the city, and some of the soldiers were riding on the walls that had not collapsed, some were lying on trees, and some were on rooftops.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all in strange shapes and poses.
But without exception, they were all sick.
After being soaked in the water for so long, I either suffered from freezing or had diarrhea. There were already many corpses floating in the water.
Li Chengdao wore armor and walked through the water in the city. His face had no expression, neither happiness nor displeasure, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Walking up to the west gate, the city was already filled with soldiers.
Not only the west city gate, but also the other three city walls were crowded with people. Most of them wore only a pair of pants to bask in the sun, or even nothing at all.
Seeing Li Chengdao coming, the soldiers didn't care and just lay there.
After being here for so long, everyone feels like they are going to die. Who cares whether you are the emperor or not?
Li Chengdao ignored him and stood at the top of the city, looking at the lake and frowning slightly.
"Who retreated..."
Li Chengdao said softly.
In the handsome manor, Feng Erniang had already noticed that the water had begun to recede.
The reason is simple: the drainage ditches in the city have started to drain again.
"Master, I would like to ask you to investigate again."
Feng Erniang wanted to find out whether the lake entrance had been washed away.
Guitai nodded slightly and said: "No, you are not going, let your subordinates go, go immediately!"
Guitai was worried that Feng Erniang would be killed, so he asked her to send someone else.
Feng Erniang felt happy and immediately sent someone to investigate.
