Yuan Ming could not retreat, and the Qin army did not attack.
Three days passed peacefully like this.
On this day, Yuan Ming came to the city again, looked out of the city and said, "Is there still no movement from the Qin army?"
"Yes, General, this is really strange." The young general said: "Isn't it said that Su Yi is a famous general of the Qin State? Doesn't he know that Huang Shuai's army is rushing behind him, but it is still lingering here. Let's continue like this , in ten days or so, he will die without a burial place."
Another general curled his lips and sneered: "What a famous general, you have a false reputation. I think he is also a loser. He must have seen that our army is heavily guarded and dare not attack rashly."
Their words made Yuan Ming frown slightly and said seriously: "Put away your thoughts! Don't underestimate the enemy! Especially Su Yi."
"This..." Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak anymore.
Although Yuan Ming couldn't figure it out, his brows furrowed deeper and he added: "The Qin army is weird, so be vigilant, change defenses day and night, and the whole army must not slack off!"
"No!" Everyone clasped their fists together.
the other side.
Beside a large lake, a large ditch about several meters wide has been dug, connecting the ravine between the two mountains. There are a large number of Qin troops busy around.
If you look down from a high altitude, the entire Jicheng City, although it controls traffic arteries, is located in a low-lying area, with two mountains on the left, and this large lake behind the mountains is a branch of the Wujiang River.
There has been no drought in Lingdi for several years, but there have been floods. The great lake has always been full of water.
The Qin army's fortifications took three days to prepare. They did not dig mountains and rivers, but just diverted dikes. One hundred thousand people were so huge that one person and one shovel could level the mountain, let alone a large flood discharge ditch.
There is no doubt that Su Yi wants to flood Jicheng.
This is due to the special geographical location of Jicheng and the key to this lake.
After Yuan Ming garrisoned the city, his 20,000 troops had been huddled in the city. Who knew what the Qin army was doing outside.
At this moment, the fortifications were almost completed. Su Yi stood in front of the flood diversion channel and asked straight to the point: "Is everything done?"
The general in charge of the fortifications immediately clasped his fists: "Everything is in order, just wait for Commander Su's order. Once this mouth is opened, the torrent will rush down between the two mountains. The water flow here is enough to flood the entire Jicheng."
"Okay!" Su Yi cheered up, "Instruct the troops below to move to higher ground immediately and open the gate soon!"
"No!" the general took the order and left.
After he left, the civil servants in the army couldn't help but said: "Commander Su, with this torrent, Jicheng will be destroyed, and there are tens of thousands of people in the city. They are innocent."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Su Yi glared and said unceremoniously: "This is war! In a war, no one will die!"
"But the people in the city..."
The civil servant wanted to say something else, but Su Yi had already interrupted him coldly: "So what! Not to mention only tens of thousands, there are even one million! I am sure that this flood will come!"
"Yes, it's the lower official who talks too much." The civil servant's Adam's apple slipped and he swallowed secretly.
Everything was ready here, and the Qin army outside Jicheng also began to evacuate quickly, turning to high ground, and looking at the Ling Army, there was another inexplicable look.
Before midnight, Yuan Ming had lunch and came to the city again. He asked suspiciously: "You mean, not only did the Qin army still not attack, but they all ran away?"
"Yes." The young general was also quite puzzled: "General, what on earth is the Qin army doing?"
"It's hard to say." Yuan Ming shook his head. He was not sure, but he said slightly worriedly: "This move is weird. Su Yi must be planning some conspiracy."
"Then, what should we do now?" the young general asked tentatively.
"Well..." Yuan Ming rolled his eyes. After careful consideration, he could only say: "Just wait and see what happens. I don't believe it. Su Yi neither attacks the city nor calls the formation. He can break it." This is Jicheng."
This is the difference between an ordinary general and a commander-in-chief.
At the end of the day, Yuan Ming was still talking to his men at the top of the city. The Qin army, with an order, had already opened the gate.
In an instant, a torrent burst out.
The water of the great lake is originally relatively clear, but when it rushes into the mountains and goes down high, it is mixed with mud and suddenly turns into a muddy yellow.
The monstrous flood, like thousands of horses galloping, rushed down and swept everything away with a devastating force.
The rumbling sound spread throughout the mountains, getting louder and louder.
This is a man-made flood. Under the power of nature, the scene can be imagined. It moves from high to low, carrying an absolute impact that cannot be stopped by human power.
The torrent was extremely fast, sweeping and impacting, with each wave higher than the other. In an instant, it was approaching Jicheng.
Such movement was like the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Naturally, the spirit troops at the top of the city felt it. Although they still didn't understand why, Yuan Ming still looked nervous: "What's the sound!? What happened!"
"I don't know, General, could it be that the ground has moved?" Someone came back, still looking around.
"How could there be an earthquake in Jicheng area!?" Yuan Ming was shocked and immediately shouted: "Quick! Go and check!"
The torrent was not facing him directly, but on the left side. When he sent someone to check, the flood had already rolled towards Jicheng.
Of course, there are also spiritual troops stationed on the left side of the city defense.
At this moment, most of the soldiers were frightened and were looking up at the sky blankly.
Some people screamed loudly: "The flood is coming! The flood is coming! Run quickly——"
Chaos suddenly broke out, panic screamed, and the torrent was coming!
The ancient city wall was not low, but the muddy yellow water set off a huge wave, directly covering the city head, impacting instantly, and directly submerging it, and its momentum continued unabated.
The soldiers on the city didn't even react. They were swept past and disappeared into the water.
The torrent swept and swallowed it up, rushing into the city.
The city is even more chaotic.
All the wooden buildings, street restaurants and other messy things were instantly destroyed by the impact. The crowd screamed and the people fled in panic, but the flood was nowhere near as fast.
Some people climbed up to the roof and hugged the big tree, but the back wave had arrived and swept down. There was no one on the tree, and the house was directly washed down...
Under this flood, the entire Jicheng could no longer be saved, let alone the spiritual army and people inside.
Not long after, the flood swept over to Yuan Ming. Hearing the panicked screams around him and looking at the water spreading in front of him, Yuan Ming was dumbfounded and stood there blankly.
The young general next to him was heartbroken and kept shouting: "Oh, General! The floods have flooded Jicheng, it's over! It's over!"
"Su Yi..." Yuan Ming no longer had the desire to live, and smiled desolately: "I have said before that he must have a conspiracy, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be a flood in Jicheng... ."
At the same time, on a high ground.
Looking down from a high position, looking from a distance, the flood has covered the entire Jicheng. Su Yi was wearing armor, a cape on his back, and a sword hanging on his waist. He said quietly: "The overall situation is decided."
