On a reservoir embankment near Sisen Town, Murong Yi held a silver bow and walked back and forth on it.
Liu Zhen almost fell asleep while watching, and asked: "Battle Commander Murong, what are you walking around up there for?"
"You can also come up and walk around." Murong Yi replied.
"What's the point of walking?" Liu Zhen said as he climbed up the embankment. "This is a bit dangerous. The wind is so strong that it would be dangerous to fall into the reservoir."
"Look at the bottom of your feet," Murong Yi said, "What kind of material is this? It's not soil or stone, but it's so smooth and smooth, and it's very hard." Murong Yi tapped the embankment with an arrow, making a clear, metallic sound. .
Liu Zhen looked around and said, "The whole area around the reservoir is made of this kind of stuff. It's incredible. Nothing is smoother and smoother than stone."
"This is the special material Jiang Siguan mentioned." Murong Yi guessed doubtfully.
Liu Zhen pulled out the steel sword and slashed it with all his strength. There was only a "ding" sound and the steel sword bounced away.
Liu Zhen shook his head, "It's almost impossible to dig this thing out."
"Let's walk along the embankment and see if there is anything like what Secretary Jiang said."
"Okay." Liu Zhen followed Murong Yi.
In Sisen Town, Yan Haitong heard that the reservoir on the outskirts of the town had been occupied. He came to Tian Pei and asked, "Someone has occupied our reservoir. Do you know about this?"
"I know," Tian Pei said, "Just now a soldier told me that an army entered the suburbs of our town and stationed near the reservoir."
"You won't be thirsty and go get water to drink." Yan Haitong couldn't figure out the use of occupying the reservoir.
"Township Duke," Tian Pei said, "No matter what their purpose is, if they enter our town, they should be driven out."
"That's right," Yan Haitong said: "You immediately lead two battalions of troops to drive them away."
"Yes." Tian Pei took the order and left.
Not long after Tian Pei left the house, a soldier ran into Yan Haitong's office and said, "Township official, we found an army, about two battalions in strength, entering the suburbs of our town and heading towards the town office."
"There are still troops?" Yan Haitong touched his head and said, "You are bullying me because I have no soldiers, right? Gather three battalions for me immediately and beat them down."
After Luo Feng led the army into the suburbs of Sisen Town, Jiang Yuxuan said: "Township, you can send a regiment of troops to different places to post notices."
"Ziying," Luo Feng shouted, "go quickly and select a unit of troops. According to Jiang Siguan's wishes, the villagers have one day to leave Sisen Town."
"Yes." Feng Ziying received the order, transferred to the army, selected a regiment of troops, and sneaked into Sisen Town.
Yan Haitong gathered the troops, left the military camp, and walked on the street. He saw the villagers starting to panic, with silhouettes of people running around in panic, carrying large packages on their backs.
"Go find someone and ask what happened in front of you?" Yan Haitong said.
A man who looked like a joint commander ran up, grabbed a running villager, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing the army, the villager became angry and said, "Look, everyone is running to the reservoir to release water, and you are still hanging around here leisurely."
"Release the water?" The joint commander exclaimed and hurried back to Yan Haitong and said, "Mr. Zhen, the enemies on the reservoir are preparing to dig up the reservoir and release the water."
When Yan Haitong heard this, he burst out laughing: "Those idiots, it's impossible to dig the bank of the reservoir."
Yan Haitong thought about thousands of possibilities and felt that the reservoir was absolutely safe. Moreover, Tian Pei had already led his troops there. It would be a matter of time before he defeated the enemies on the reservoir embankment.
Thinking that nothing happened, Yan Haitong issued a notice to stabilize the people's sentiments, and continued to move forward with his troops.
Near Sisen Town, Luo Feng received news that Tian Pei was attacking the reservoir and came to Jiang Yuxuan for discussion.
"Sir Jiang, there is only one battalion on the reservoir. Tian Pei leads two battalions this time. I'm afraid Murong Yi won't be able to withstand it."
"Zhen Gong," Jiang Yuxuan said, "Now that Tian Pei has led his troops there, we only need to send an army to attack Tian Pei from behind. Tian Pei will be defeated."
"Deploying a battalion, we don't have enough troops." Luo Feng was worried.
"Don't worry, town official. As long as the villagers evacuate and our reservoir is opened, Sisen Town will be finished."
Luo Feng still believed Jiang Yuxuan's words, "Okay, Ziying." Luo Feng shouted again.
After receiving the order, Feng Ziying ran from the middle of the army to the front and said, "Gong Zhen, call me?"
"Yes, immediately bring two regiments of troops to meet Murong Yi on the reservoir."
"Okay." Feng Ziying left immediately.
After Feng Ziying left, Jiang Yuxuan said: "Zhen Gong, we have few troops now. We can retreat slowly to attract Yan Haitong to pursue us."
"Then I'll cut off the queen." Luo Feng said.
"In order to prevent being attacked by Yan Haitong, we can only calm down and lead the troops to retreat slowly."
The two decided that Luo Feng would stay with two regiments of troops, while Jiang Yuxuan would slowly retreat with the army.
Yan Haitong, who was in the town, heard about Luo Feng's retreat and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, he ran away before he could fight. It seems that he is also a weakling. Everyone, chase him."
Under Yan Haitong's order, the army quickly left the town.
In the suburbs, Luo Feng watched Jiang Yuxuan walk away and slowly led the team to walk.
Not far away, an army appeared behind them. Yan Haitong ran first, dragging his silver knife, shouting: "Don't run, you have to pay the price for entering my territory."
Luo Feng turned around and saw that Yan Haitong was already behind him, and said, "Everyone, run quickly and keep your distance from Yan Haitong."
The army was on the move, moving across the rugged fields.
Yan Haitong saw that Luo Feng had few troops, so he surrounded Luo Feng in three directions.
Luo Feng was afraid that his army would be surrounded by Yan Haitong, so he led his army back quickly.
Yan Haitong chased for a while but failed to catch up. Seeing that Luo Feng had already run out of the suburbs of the town, he slowed down and remembered that the reservoir was still fighting, so he led the army towards the reservoir.
On the reservoir embankment, Murong Yi took Liu Zhen for a walk and found nothing unusual.
Liu Zhen complained: "Batalion Commander, I'm afraid we can't open this reservoir."
Murong looked at the blue water, glanced around the embankments, and said: "With such a large reservoir, if it is lowered, the entire Sisen Town will be flooded. We must find a way to open the reservoir embankments to capture Sisen Town in one fell swoop. .”
While he was talking, an army came from below the embankment towards the reservoir.
"Quick, get ready for battle." Murong Yi led Liu Zhen down the embankment, chose a flat place on the high slope, and put the army into formation.
Tian Pei reached the bottom of the reservoir, looked up at Murong Yi above, and shouted, "Who dares to occupy our reservoir in Sisen Town?"
