"Let the water go!!"
"Really let off steam!!!"
"Go and have a look!"
In the Qin army camp, with countless black flags with the word Qin flying, whether they were Qin soldiers standing guard or soldiers training in the camp, they could see a bonfire burning in the distance. Everyone knew what the bonfire was burning. mean.
For a moment, both the soldiers and generals of the Qin army all showed a change of expression.
Growing up, everyone has experienced heavy rains and floods every year during the flood season. However, many veterans and generals have never seen floods used to attack other cities, let alone the soldiers who enlisted in the army.
So now, all the generals are walking towards the dug ditch outside the camp, and dense soldiers of the Qin State are also swarming behind them. Everyone wants to see what the flood siege will be like.
Outside Daliang City.
Bonfires were erected along the ditches and mountain peaks, every five to ten miles away, and the furthest point was no more than ten miles away. And beside each bonfire, there were soldiers from the scout camp guarding it. The soldiers who had been guarding the border in the north were far more numerous than those in the south. Soldiers and even generals must be more aware of the importance of campfires and have more experience.
Therefore, almost at the moment when a bonfire is lit, the smoke rises, and the next bonfire within five to ten miles will be lit in less than a moment, and its speed is far beyond the imagination of the soldiers in the south.
Half an hour later, the Honggou water closest to Daliang was the first to arrive.
From a distance, all the soldiers who walked out of the Qin army's camp saw a flood that was not very high, spreading towards Daliang City at a not very fast speed.
"Can such a small amount of water cover the beam?"
"I don't know! The speed is so slow, I feel like I can easily run ahead."
"Look at the depth of the water, I'm afraid it's not even as deep as a calf. Even a child can't drown!"
As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. From the beginning of digging the channel, there were rumors among the Qin army that Baiqi flooded the city of Yan in the past, causing 350,000 casualties among the people and Chu soldiers in the city. Something about more than half of the people who drowned.
Everyone thought that this time they would also see an unprecedented and terrifying flood, which would break down the solid walls of Daliang City, leaving the Qin soldiers to wait for Wei to surrender to Qin.
As a result, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw the 'flood'. Not to mention overwhelming Daliang City, even a child taking a bath would be afraid that the water was too shallow.
"What should I do?"
"That's right! If we are so afraid, we won't be able to flood the beams. We are afraid that we still have to attack the city!"
"Hey, attack the city. There are so many Wei soldiers at the top of Daliang City. If we attack the city, look, look, look! The water is rising!!!"
There was no end to the noise, and among the densely packed Qin soldiers, everyone was talking and feeling extremely disappointed. I don’t know who spoke first. When the other Qin soldiers stood high and looked, everyone was talking. Unexpectedly, I found that the water seemed to be larger than before, and it was also accompanied by some driftwood, dead leaves, and branches.
However, at this time, no one had high expectations for the water reaching around the knees.
But then.
Under everyone's eyes, the flood that washed away the girders of Wei State became visibly higher and the water color became more and more turbid.
At this moment.
Some Qin soldiers have realized that something is wrong, and more and more Qin soldiers have begun to calm down.
Five breaths, ten breaths... After a while, when everyone saw the speed of the flood, it became more and more turbulent. At this time, everyone had a look of astonishment on their faces and watched this scene quietly. If they were allowed to go to the water at this time, Inside, people with poor water quality no longer dare to have such thoughts.
Looking at the Daliang City Gate in the distance, as the city gate was tightly closed, a turbulent water nest had appeared under the city gate. Many branches and driftwood were blocked by the corners of the city wall.
Daliang City.
At this moment, on the top of the city, there were many Wei soldiers standing at a loss, looking at the dense Qin army in the distance outside the city, and then looking at the rapid river outside the city. None of the Wei soldiers had ever experienced such a scene. They all became afraid.
And just under the city wall behind them, Wei soldiers came and went, filling wooden tools with soil and carrying wooden planks to the city gate to block the city gate.
"quick!!"
"Come here quickly!"
One by one, the generals of the Wei State, wearing clothes and armor, and carrying waist swords, kept roaring. They looked at more and more river water pouring into the city gate, and looked at the washed out soil under their feet. All the generals of the Wei State were at this moment. His face was pale.
All of them knew that even if the city gate was filled with soil that had not undergone special treatment, it would not help at all and it would not last long.
On the streets of Daliang City.
The merchants, common people, and scholars of Wei who once thought that Bai Yan had no way to take Daliang City, looked at the river suddenly appearing on the street, and it had begun to spread towards Daliang City. Everyone was frightened and confused. , his legs and feet became weak, and then he thought of something, his face suddenly became frightened, and he ran away with his face turning pale.
In the shops and restaurants on the street, all the shopkeepers, servants, and women were all standing by the windows on the second floor of the building, watching the river gradually spreading along the street. They all had expressions of disbelief. The scene in front of them was real. of.
Even if they had heard that Bai Yan planned to flood the beam, they were all afraid, but they all thought that it would not happen.
Until in front of them, they saw that the river water had spread to the streets. Everyone was panicking at this moment. At this time, they finally realized that Bai Yan had dug a canal and a huge flood was coming.
The more people who used to laugh at Bai Yan, the more frightened they feel at this moment.
The Corpse Mansion.
Several dandy sons of the corpse family were taking out the uncle's body from the carriage. The uncle had interceded with the Qin envoy and was almost killed by the King of Wei. Fortunately, the corpse family had many connections in the Wei court, and after the advice of many officials, After saying this, King Wei just restrained his pretense.
As for the Shi family, they also used all the connections at their disposal to rescue Uncle Shihe from the prison.
Beside the carriage, Shi He was just about to get out of the carriage when he suddenly saw a shallow stream of water in the distance slowly spreading along the ground.
"Not good! The Qin army dug a canal to divert water! Go to the Ancestor Mansion quickly!"
Shihe's face instantly turned pale and he urged.
Hearing this, several young disciples of the corpse family who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun in the past had never seen such a battle. Seeing that the flood had really entered Daliang City, they thought of the rumors that the Qin army was going to flood Daliang. thing.
In an instant, these young nobles were all so frightened that their legs and feet became weak. They turned their heads in panic and nodded towards the corpse.
Mastiff Palace.
Several palace guards guarding the palace gate were chatting leisurely and contentedly as before. Looking at the quiet surroundings, these palace guards were very satisfied. Since General Yan's incident happened, the corpse was not in the main beam, and few people dared to do so. Come to the Mastiff Palace to disturb them.
But while the two palace guards were chatting, talking about how a certain official was so intimidated that his legs and feet were weak, suddenly one of them accidentally saw the flood gradually spreading in the distance.
At first, the palace guard thought he was blind. It was not until the flood was getting closer and the other palace guards noticed that everyone thought of something. Their faces suddenly turned pale with fright, and they quickly turned around and ran towards the Mastiff Palace. .
In the courtyard of the Mastiff Palace, among dozens of Wei Mastiff dogs of different colors, Wei Ji was urging the Wei State doctors to see the wounds of his Wei Mastiffs, and threatened the doctors that if they could not cure the Wei Mastiffs, they would chop them all into pieces. Wei Mastiff eats.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The flood is coming, the flood is coming!"
A palace guard ran to Wei Jia with a face full of panic and knelt on the ground. Because of the palace guard's panicked behavior, he immediately attracted the attention of all the Wei dogs. Many of them were still tied with cloth and limping over. .
When Wei Ji saw this, he immediately felt sorry for his beloved dog. He stepped forward and kicked Gong Wei hard in the face.
After the palace guard fell to the ground, he quickly stood up tremblingly, ignoring the pain on his face and the bleeding nose. He lowered his head and trembled with a fearful voice.
"Your Majesty, the flood is coming!"
The palace guard reported carefully. This time, he did not dare to speak louder.
Wei Jiu's full-strength kick seemed to vent a lot of anger in his heart. He was not surprised when he heard that the flood was coming. Before that, he ordered the Qin envoy to be beheaded, Bai Yan. No, it should be said that it was Xu Zixiao's uncle's hands. Then he knew that Xu Zixiao would order the canal to be dug.
so what!
Thinking of the time in Zhao Di, when Xu Zixiao held a sword in one hand and his pet dog died tragically and fell motionless on the ground, and the sword blade in Xu Zixiao's hand was dripping with the dog's blood, Wei Jiao's heart was filled with hatred and he wished he could kill Xu Zixiao himself. .
He just wanted to use the blood of Xu Zixiao's close relatives to avenge his beloved dog. It was a pity that the two palms at the back were accidentally eaten by his beloved dogs. Otherwise, he really wanted to give them to Xu Zixiao together so that he could have a good look and see what the hands of his dearest relatives were. How it was cut down.
However, when he thought about the pleasure of whipping Xu Zixiao's close relative later, listening to his screams, looking at the frightened look begging for mercy, looking at the face with his mouth open and blood on his face, Wei Jiu felt extremely happy.
He just wanted Xu Zixiao to see with his own eyes how his closest relatives were tortured and crippled, with their mouths full of the shit of his beloved dog.
When I think of Xu Zixiao, I have seen the appearance of my loved one with my own eyes.
Wei Jia's eyes were filled with the joy of revenge, and his whole body felt as if he had taken a bath, feeling indescribably comfortable. The only pity was that he could not see with his own eyes Xu Zixiao's extremely painful and angry look.
"Immediately order someone to come over and send the widow's mastiff to the palace!"
Wei Jia opened his mouth and ordered.
Seeing his pet dog walking to his lap and snuggling up against him, Wei Jiu bent down and lovingly stretched out his hand to stroke its hair, his eyes filled with distress.
It's all the fault of General Yan and those Wei soldiers. If it weren't for them, his generals (loving dogs) would have defeated the Qin army. Now they have dug a canal, and the terrain of the Mastiff Palace is not as good as that of the palace. His generals must not be allowed to be defeated. The river is flooded.
"promise!"
When the palace guard heard Wei Jia's words, he quickly stood up and retreated.
After a while.
Just outside the gate of Mastiff Palace, the water flow that was shallow at first was spreading, and now it was filled with river water everywhere.
Under the escort of nearly a thousand Wei palace guards, Wei Jia and all the Wei mastiffs walked towards the Wei palace. Along the way, they could clearly hear the screams of people everywhere in the distance in the city. Shouts, panicked voices.
When we reached the gate of the palace, there were already hundreds of civil and military officials standing outside the palace with anxious expressions.
"Kings!"
"Kings!!"
Seeing Wei Jiu's arrival, all the civil and military officials found their backbone and stepped forward to salute Wei Jiu. However, at this moment, all the civil and military officials suddenly noticed that there was a faint shout coming from far outside the palace gate. There are a lot of sounds, and they are getting closer and closer.
All the officials didn't know what was going on and fell silent. However, Wei Jiu took one look and didn't understand. Instead, he asked the civil and military officials to get out of the way and not block the way of his pet dog.
He looked at Wei Jia, and then looked at the Wei soldiers, each carrying a Wei Mastiff on the delicate wooden tray.
At this moment, the eyes of all Wei officials were full of complicated expressions, and many officials had begun to show regret in their eyes. Perhaps they should not have allowed Wei Jie to succeed to the throne in the first place.
In a trance.
The next moment, everyone suddenly saw that the gate outside the palace gate in the distance was becoming more turbid, and the flood with dead branches rushed into the palace gate. Many palace guards were unable to escape and were washed down. The water level behind him was already above his knees.
Seeing this scene, among the hundreds of civil and military officials of Wei State, a white-haired Wei State official trembled.
"No, the water from the Zhuhe River has arrived! If the city gate is washed open"
When the white-haired old Wei official said this, he immediately staggered back two steps with a dazed look on his face. The other officials and generals wearing Wei official uniforms also had panic expressions on their faces at this time. There was a hint of fear in all of them.
Half an hour later.
On the top of Daliang City, the Wei soldiers heard the desperate shouts from the tower behind them. Everyone looked motionless outside the city. Some Wei soldiers had trembling legs and feet, and some Wei soldiers had a wet stain. It flowed down the clothes on the thighs, and finally flowed to the ground beside the feet.
At this moment, whether it was the young Wei soldiers who were only seventeen or eighteen years old, the old Wei soldiers, or the elites who were covered in armor and equipped with swords, bows and crossbows, all fell silent.
Everyone's face was full of despair.
At a glance outside the city, there are all rushing rivers. The turbid river water is like a big river, constantly flowing to Daliang City. It seems that the whole sky is full of river water hitting the city walls and city gates, making a swishing sound.
All the Wei soldiers saw that the densely packed Qin army in the distance outside the city had retreated further and further.
the other side.
Not only the Wei soldiers at the top of Daliang City fell silent, but also the densely packed Qin soldiers in the Qin army. At this moment, they were looking at the water that had turned into a river in a short time. Everyone was silent, and there was a look in their eyes. A deep feeling of fear.
At this time, no Qin soldier said that the water was too small. Instead, looking at the rushing water in front of them, everyone finally understood why Wu'an Jun Bai Qi flooded Yan City and killed more than 100,000 Chu people.
It is different from attacking a city and killing the enemy.
In front of such a huge flow of water, in front of this disaster, not to mention one person, even ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or hundreds of thousands are too small.
Not far away from the Qin army, in front of the cavalry, Xicheng looked at Daliang City with his own eyes and saw the large water with his own eyes. His despairing eyes lasted for a moment, and finally he could no longer hold on and passed out. Fortunately, HP on the side With quick eyesight and quick hands, Xicheng didn't fall off his horse.
Among all the generals present, this was the first time that they had seen a city flooded with water from two rivers, Chunkou and Zhuhe. Even when Bai Qi flooded Yan City fifty-four years ago, he had never used such a large river to flood Yan City. amount of water.
Almost all the generals looked a little shocked when they looked at the scene in front of them.
"Daliang City must be destroyed! It's a pity that the general is worried about the safety of his people and has not seen the scene before him."
"Yes! King Wei is probably frightened now and is in danger! Let's see if King Wei dares to humiliate the general!"
Yu Feng, Cong, and other generals rode on their war horses, looking at the unconscious body in Chengcheng, and then at Daliang City in the distance, which was hit by the huge water. They were so shocked that they couldn't help but express happiness in their words.
Even Yang Yan, Huipu, Yu He and other generals on the side could not help but nod. Seeing Daliang City being eroded by the river, and thinking of King Wei's previous actions, they couldn't help but look like a great revenge must be avenged. expression.
And just behind these generals, a general who had friendship with Jiu in Yandi suddenly discovered that Jiu didn't seem to be smiling when he looked at Daliang City, and he became curious.
"General Jiu, why is there no joy on your face? Could it be that General Jiu is not happy for General Bai Yan?"
The thirty-year-old general looked at Jiu curiously and asked softly.
"The general will not be happy when he sees this scene!"
Jiu said softly, thinking of the figure Bai Yan had fueled the soldiers' anger in the night, and the things that figure had done since they met, as well as the people of Zhao who saved the people of Gaonu, Yanyu and Yanmen. .
Jiu glanced at Daliang City again, then slowly turned around and rode his horse toward the Qin army's camp alone.
Jiu's voice was not loud, but everyone around him was a Qin general, and there was no noise. Therefore, almost all the generals heard Jiu's words. At this moment, all the other generals looked around and realized that it seemed that all the Bai family's cavalry The generals had no smiles on their faces.
Even Yanmao, who looked fierce, was no exception.
In the Qin army camp.
When Jiu returned to Bai Yan, he saw three old doctors already treating his uncle who was lying on a cloth seat. In this small tent, there were clothes full of stench and bloodstains beside them.
"General!"
Jiu looked at Bai Yan's expressionless expression and raised his hands in salute.
Bai Yan heard Jiu's voice and glanced at Jiu.
"How about Daliang?"
Bai Yan asked.
When Jiu heard Bai Yan's words, he lowered his head and reported to Bai Yan.
"The chasm has been dug and the water of the Candle River has been dug."
Jiu did not elaborate on the current situation of Daliang. He wanted to make his general Bai Yan feel better at this moment. Not only him, but also all the generals of the Bai family's cavalry knew that the most uncomfortable person in the entire army now was It was the general who gave the order himself.
The soldiers of Bai's cavalry know the general better than anyone else.
This is also why, the news that the general is not a descendant of the Bai family, the cavalry officers who were responsible for guarding the prisoners were the first to know. However, from beginning to end, from beginning to end, no general or any soldier had anything against Bai Yan. A hint of alienation.
Starting from his surname, righteousness in his actions, and loyalty to his people, even if Bai Yan is not a descendant of the Bai family, none of the soldiers have the slightest idea of leaving Bai Yan.
What the soldiers care more about than the name of the Bai family is that Bai Yan really cares about each of them. In every battle, Bai Yan will always be there to share honor and disgrace, life and death. He will also worry about any of their soldiers after the war. According to the situation, Bai Yan will use the wealth given by the king to heal the wounds of the soldiers, and use the mansion where he lives to build a shrine for the soldiers who died in the war. Bai Yan will also try his best to take care of the orphans of the dead soldiers.
These things, not to mention other generals, even General Bai Yu had never done before.
The soldiers are all human beings. Faced with something Bai Yan did, they remember it more than anyone else. Not to mention these soldiers, the family members of the hometowns of the dead soldiers are all racking their brains to come to Yanmen. , I want to serve Bai Yan under Bai Yan’s command.
"Wake up, General!"
Suddenly the doctor's voice sounded, and Jiu came back to his senses. Then he saw that under the doctor's treatment, the general's uncle actually opened his eyes as he was dying.
Bai Yan stepped forward at this time and looked at his uncle with complicated eyes.
Seeing that the uncle seemed to be full of excitement after seeing him, and tried his best to move his mouth, Bai Yan saw the look in his eyes, and after hesitation, he approached the uncle.
As soon as he got close, Bai Yan could smell the stench from his uncle's mouth. Anyone who has ever raised a dog knows how stinky dog poop is. It's fine after it's dried. But if it's kept moist and sealed, the smell will be worse.
"Kill the King of Wei! Kill the King of Wei!"
Bai Yan listened to his uncle's voice, which was still extremely weak even though he tried his best. He sighed and looked at his uncle who had eyes full of despair and tears.
If I had known this, why did I have to go to Daliang in the first place.
But Bai Yan would not say this, after all, the uncle was already like this.
"Uncle, don't worry. Bai Yan will not let King Wei go! But now, the uncle must tell his nephew. Has the uncle told the corpse family about his father?"
Bai Yan did not refuse his uncle's request. Seeing his uncle's legs being broken and his hands chopped off by King Wei, Bai Yan naturally would not stay with King Wei.
But before that, Bai Yan had to figure something out.
That was whether the uncle had told the Shi family about his father and mother. Shi Cheng could not help the uncle for no reason. Bai Yan knew this, but Bai Yan also understood the uncle's character.
Greed was the reason why Bai Yan hated his uncle the most before. Ever since he was a child, his uncle always wanted to take money from his grandfather and father, and wished he could spend all the money so that he could feel comfortable.
It was also because of his uncle's character that Bai Yaneng could always feel at ease after learning about Xicheng's actions.
With the uncle's greed, he would not let it go easily once he had the opportunity. The corpse was the corpse of the Wei State. Most of the people he came into contact with were either rich or noble, and they had just met the uncle. At most, they knew that the uncle had no talent and would not be able to do it in a short time. You will know how selfish and greedy your uncle is.
Although the uncle is from a humble background, he is still greedy.
"Never~ said~."
Bai Yan lowered his head to listen to his uncle's reply, and looked up at his uncle's tearful eyes, full of regret, which really didn't seem like he was cheating.
Bai Yan felt relieved now. It seemed that as a nephew, he was the uncle who knew him best.
"Uncle, rest in peace and cultivate yourself. Yan'er will have someone take care of him for the rest of his life. Where is King Wei? My nephew will avenge him. Don't worry, uncle."
Bai Yan stood up and said to his uncle. Looking at his desperate eyes, Bai Yan didn't know whether his uncle could survive this time. After all, not only did he lose his body and limbs, but more importantly, Wei Jia's treatment of his uncle was in full view of everyone. insult.
After all, the uncle is a well-educated person. He has always regarded himself as different from others since he was a child. He is also the eldest son who is the most favored and respected by his grandfather.
Such a blow, perhaps if there was no hatred for Wei Jia, the uncle would have no intention of living.
"General! The three generals, Zan Shou, Zhong You, and Yan Yue, are already in the commander's tent!"
A soldier happened to come over to report at this time.
Bai Yan nodded when he heard this and asked the doctor to continue treating his uncle.
"Uncle, rest in peace and cultivate yourself! When I see King Wei's leave, my nephew will personally deliver it to my uncle."
Bai Yan didn't say too many words of caution. After all, it would be difficult for anyone to end up like his uncle.
After saying that, Bai Yan looked at his uncle's cheeks with tears streaming down his face, full of hatred, regret, and despair. He slowly turned around and left the camp with Mang and Jiu.
The coach's tent.
Although Zan Shou, Zhong You and Yan Yue didn't know why Bai Yan suddenly summoned the three of them back to the general's camp, they didn't see Bai Yan and they all stayed in the camp honestly.
In the quiet atmosphere, Zan Shou and Zhong You were in no mood to talk.
Thinking of what happened to Bai Yan's uncle, they had a vague hunch that Bai Yan must be angry with them because of his uncle's affairs. They had nothing to say about this. They all accepted Bai Yan whether he wanted to kill him or punish him. After all, before They were also shocked when they saw Bai Yan's uncle's appearance.
They were not stupid. In fact, looking at Bai Yan's reaction later, they all vaguely felt that the two of them might have fallen into a trap and returned to the camp without permission, but Bai Yan didn't say it out loud.
"General!"
The voices of soldiers came from outside the camp, and the three of them quickly put their minds away, and then saw Bai Yan coming in with Mang and Jiu.
"General!"
"General!!"
After seeing Bai Yan come in, the three of them hurriedly bowed their hands.
Bai Yan nodded, then took off his sword and put it on the wooden stand. When he was about to let the three of them come to the map, he saw Zan Shou and Zhong You kneeling on the ground, holding the Qin sword in both hands.
"General, the two of us have disobeyed the general's orders before. Please punish us!"
Zan Shou and Zhong You's actions were undoubtedly to kill and scrape at will.
Bai Yan looked at this scene and suddenly felt dumbfounded.
"What's the crime? Do the two generals think that Bai Yan is here to hold him accountable?"
Bai Yan said helplessly, looking at Zan Shou and Zhong You who looked at each other with confused expressions, then turned around and came to the map, looking at the map hanging on the wooden frame.
"Didn't Bai Yan say something before? There is something that needs to be informed to the two generals."
Bai Yan said.
After Zan Shou and Zhong You heard Bai Yan's words, they looked at Bai Yan and it seemed that Bai Yan was really not here to blame them. They suddenly looked confused and confused. After the two looked at each other with Yan Yue, they put away their swords. , slowly stood up and walked to Bai Yan's side together.
Looking at the map, Bai Yan pointed at the map before the three of them could speak.
"This time, Bai Yan plans to attack Chu!"
Bai Yan said.
With one sentence, Zan Shou, Zhong You, and Yan Yue immediately opened their mouths slightly, showing expressions of astonishment, and looked at Bai Yan in shock.
We are going to attack Chu! ! !
this.
Without the king's order, he rashly attacked Chu.
Before the three of them could say anything, suddenly, the three of them remembered that when they were in Li City, Ying Zheng ordered someone to bring Bai Yan the seal of general! ! !
General seal! Thinking of this, Zan Shou, Zhong You and Yan Yue still couldn't wake up. The three of them all looked at Bai Yan in shock.
The attack on Chu was not a temporary move! ! !
Bai Yan planned to attack Chu from the beginning, and Ying Zheng also knew about it!
