Because of this incident, Ugu Lun Wo Lun climbed to the tower every day to watch the movements of the coalition forces.
Looking at the massive construction work of the coalition forces outside the city, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Four days later, as the project seemed to surround them more and more, Ugu Lun Wo Lun suddenly had an idea and figured out the problem.
Could it be that these guys want to dig a river channel, use the Hutuo River not far away, divert the river water, and then build a reverse moat to isolate the internal and external traffic of Zhending City?
And it looks like they are going to build a dam to store water?
Flooding the city with water?
At that time, Wugu Lunwo Lun felt his heart beating wildly, cold sweat breaking out, his back feeling cold, and suddenly a shiver ran from top to bottom, and his whole body became numb.
It's broken, it's really broken. If they do it, it's over.
Once the water rushes in, Zhending City will be soaked in it, and there will be no living people on the ground. By then, the living space in the city will be greatly reduced. How many Jurchens in the city can survive?
If it really gets to that point, Zhending City will be destroyed without attack!
Wugu Lunwo Lun immediately left the tower and convened a meeting. When he told the generals about the matter, they were all shocked.
If this is true, then these rebels are really bad to the core, thinking only of drowning everyone!
Can they really do it?
Of course not!
He was anxious, and they were all anxious.
If the original defensive tactics were abandoned immediately, it would be equivalent to sitting still and waiting for death, which is completely meaningless. If the actions of the coalition forces outside the city cannot be stopped under the current circumstances, it would be suicide.
So Ugulunwolun immediately decided to send troops to fight to prevent the coalition forces from building the dam. However, this would require a large number of troops to go out of the city to attack.
Judging from the previous battles, the coalition has cavalry with good combat effectiveness. If they dispatch too few, they will not be effective. If too many are dispatched, there will be insufficient defenders in the city, and defense will be a problem.
What should I do?
When Wugu Lunwo Lun was in panic, the commander Du Yang made a suggestion.
"It is naturally not appropriate to attack in formation during the day. Since it is not appropriate to attack during the day, then attack at night. Attacking at night will not prevent the rebels from being prepared everywhere. A night attack will definitely be effective. Even if it cannot succeed, it will not be Losing too many troops will not endanger the city defense."
Ugu Lunjige felt that this was acceptable, so he appointed Du Yang to lead his men in a night attack, which started at night.
Du Yang accepted the order happily and prepared to perform meritorious service.
That night, the moon was dark, the wind was high, and the cold wind was howling. It was a good time for a night attack.
In the second half of the night, there was silence between heaven and earth. People inside and outside the city fell asleep. Except for a few soldiers responsible for night patrol, no one was still awake.
The cruel battlefield only looks like the world at night.
At this time, Du Yang led his battalion of 500 soldiers and sneakily ran down the city wall along the ropes and baskets.
In addition to a knife, they all carried fire starters and kindling. In order to disrupt the progress of the coalition's projects, they gave up their extra weapons and dedicated themselves to sabotage.
They decided to sneak in at night, not with the goal of engaging in combat, but with the main goal of destroying the project. They tried to be careful and make as little noise as possible. Everyone tied their mouths with cloth strips to avoid making unnecessary noises. sound.
The group of people moved from the city wall to the river in a hunched-over manner, like a group of stinky rats that could not see anyone, doing whatever it took to do bad things.
When they approached a river project, they stopped for a moment. Du Yang, the leader, pricked up his ears and listened. He felt that there was no other sound except the sound of wind and a little noise caused by the wind.
He was relieved, lowered his throat, and let the people around him continue to pass orders backward.
"Move lightly, burn everything that can be burned, destroy everything that can be destroyed, just a little bit, try not to make a sound."
The order was quickly passed on, and then a battalion, as a team, started to do bad things under the leadership of the team officer.
They began to throw igniting oil on the large wooden tools.
It's really interesting to do bad things when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Du Yang thinks so.
He loved the excitement of doing bad things secretly.
However, very suddenly, the fire suddenly lit up around him. For a while, he did not react. He even covered his eyes because the fire was too dazzling and could not look directly.
The next moment, the sound of bows and arrows piercing the air was heard, and then screams rang in his ears one after another.
Ambush.
At this moment, there were only a few words in Du Yang's mind, and then a burst of severe pain hit him, making him scream out uncontrollably.
He was hit by an arrow. There was a sharp arrow stuck in his right leg. Blood was pouring out from the wound. But before he could exchange a few more words, several more arrows hit him, on his stomach and chest. , arms, waist, all hit by arrows.
The heart-wrenching pain had not lasted for a while, and an arrow penetrated his neck directly, finally ending his life and barely relieving his pain.
The night attack troops he brought were naturally wiped out. No one survived and they all died under the rain of arrows.
The noise here is actually quite big. At least Su Yonglin can be sure that the people in Zhending City must know about it.
Xin Qiji, who was responsible for carrying out this task, quickly reported the incident to Su Yonglin.
"As expected by the general, the gold thieves indeed tried to sabotage our tools and processes during the night, and seized a large number of fire starters from them."
"As expected, they finally reacted. Fortunately, it wasn't very fast, which means there are no great talents in the city."
Su Yonglin nodded and slowly said: "This is the first time, but it will never be the last time, but our waiting for so many days has given them a head-on blow, and they should be more cautious.
For us, the pressure to guard against thieves is still very high. We must not let anything happen to the Beacon Tower. We must be on guard. We work in shifts for 12 hours around the clock and cannot slack off for even a quarter of an hour. Now that the offense and defense have reversed, we have taken the initiative. . "
Xin Qiji nodded.
"My subordinate understands."
In order to guard against possible night attacks by the Jin soldiers in the city, Su Yonglin adopted the idea of beacon towers on the Great Wall, using night beacons and daytime smoke patterns to warn the Jin troops in the city. No matter when and where they launched an attack, the coalition forces would be able to respond. , quickly maneuver to counterattack.
There are special mobile troops during the day and special ambush crossbowmen at night. If the precautions are taken to the extreme, the Jin people in Zhending City will be helpless.
Sometimes the art of war and tactics are aimed at the weaknesses of the army, but if the basics are taken to the extreme, the art of war and tactics are actually very powerless in the face of absolute strength.
In the next two days, the Jin army was probably frightened and did not dare to come out to attack and destroy at night.
Su Yonglin took this opportunity to set up a circle of horses and caltrops in front of the construction site, adding a line of defense to the dam. Even if the Jin soldiers went out of the city to attack at night, they would face many challenges, and it was not easy to get close to the construction site.
Not only that, he also bought some dogs from surrounding villages, all of which were quite big yellow dogs and were very alert.
Place them in some strategic positions. If the golden soldiers attack at night, the loud voice of the big yellow dog can also come in handy.
Now the blockade of Zhending City by the coalition forces has really taken to a new level.
And so far there have been almost zero casualties, and the Jin soldiers have been locked in the city unable to move.
To break the deadlock, unless the Jin army takes the initiative to attack, the coalition forces will never take the initiative to attack unless they come out.
