At the third day of the day, Kaifeng City was silent.

Between the battlements on the city wall, the soldiers and civilians guarding the city stood in hand with torches.

February is not as cold as the first month, but the temperature at night is so cold that the soldiers feel very uncomfortable. They can only stomp their feet to resist the cold.

At this time, while the soldiers and civilians in the city were sleeping soundly, a few white lights flashed in the night sky north of Kaifeng City, and then a "boom boom boom" thunder sound was heard.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city rushed to the walls and looked at them.

"What's going on!"

"It seems like it's thunder!"

The soldiers were talking a lot, and suddenly heard a "cooling" sound, from far to near.

"A cavalry is coming!" The soldiers on the city heard the sound of horse hooves, thinking that it was the galloping horses.

At this time, the soldiers were about to report to the general, when suddenly a sharp-eyed soldier saw a white wave rolling in under the dark night sky in the north.

"Yes~yes~is flood!" The soldiers on the city exclaimed in an instant!

"flood!"

"The Tartars exploded the dam!"

The soldiers who reacted immediately shouted anxiously.

The alarm bell of "Dangdang" sounded, and the soldiers and civilians in the city hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed out of the room. They saw running figures everywhere on the street.

At this time, Gao Mingheng hurriedly came out of the yamen and happened to run into Chen Yongfu, "What's going on?"

"The Tartars have broken through the river!" Chen Yongfu responded anxiously.

Gao Mingheng's expression sank, and while dressing, he ordered, "Hurry! Let's tell you where the collapsed place is!"

When Chen Yongfu heard this, he hurriedly led the guards to the collapsed place.

More than ten days ago, Dorgon stopped siegeing the city, and the Qing army outside the city began to evacuate one after another, but tens of thousands of people moved to the river embankment in the north of the city.

Gao Mingheng knew at that time what the Qing army was going to do, so he sent messengers to break through, and asked Chen Yongfu to lead troops out of the city, intending to stop the Qing army from digging the river embankment.

However, the Qing army left cavalry outside the city, and the messengers who left the city were intercepted and killed, and their troops were defeated and retreated to the city.

This made Gao Mingheng realize that something was wrong. The Qing army's goal was not to flood Kaifeng, but to flood the main force of the Liang army.

Gao Mingheng and Gao Huan had already agreed to set the counterattack time in February.

The Qing army did not allow him to send messengers, notify Gao Huan, and sent a celestial eagle to shoot down and trap the carrier pigeons. It was obvious that he wanted to wait for Gao Huan's reinforcements to dig out the Yellow River and flood the main force of the Liang army, thus turning defeat into victory.

Now that the Qing army digging the Yellow River was shocked, Gao Mingheng was shocked, he did not expect that the Qing army and the Northern Ming army were so vicious.

At this time, he had no time to worry about Gao Huan because he had not taken a few steps and the water had already reached his ankle.

On February day, the cold river water poured into the city, and the people could only walk to the high places and climb up the roof.

At this time, where the city wall collapsed, the defenders in the city were desperately carrying soil bags and piled them onto the city wall.

"Quick! Keep rising!" Chen Yongfu roared anxiously.

Gao Mingheng came with thousands of civilians, and each of them tried hard to pile up soil bags at the gap, and soon the gap was level with the wall.

These days, in order to prevent the Qing army from digging the river embankment, the defenders in the city prepared a lot of sandbags in advance.

Almost all of these sandbags are used now, but the flood outside the city is still rising, and the river water quickly rises to the walls, and a large amount of river water pours into the city from the entrance of the cave.

At this time, Gao Mingheng was still carrying sandbags and wanted to continue to strengthening, because once the flood flooded into the city, most of the houses in the city would be flooded.

This means that most people in the city will be drowned, and even if they are not washed away, they will freeze to death in the cold flood.

"Gaoge Department! It can't be blocked!" Chen Yongfu suddenly pulled Gao Mingheng and roared anxiously.

The terrain of the Yellow River is too high, and the riverbed is higher than the city wall, and it can even survive the top of the tower of the tallest building in Kaifeng City.

Now that the Yellow River breaks, the water is like it is sliding down from the top of the head, and it is almost over the head of Kaifeng.

At this time, Chen Yongfu just pulled Gao Mingheng away, and the sandbags piled up by the military and civilians were squeezed out by the flood. The turbid Yellow River water washed away the sandbags and washed away all the civilians who strengthened the gap.

The flood flooded into the city, and in a blink of an eye, it went from knee to neck, then flooded the people, and finally even the roof was covered by floods.

Gao Mingheng stood on the city wall and saw the turbid waves of the flood, the old people and children couldn't help but cry.

Chen Yongfu gritted his teeth, "Dog Tartar! He is so conscientious that he will not die well!"

At this time, on the Yellow River embankment, Dorgon looked at the rolling river water and rushed towards Kaifeng City, with a cruel smile on his face.

He originally wanted to drown Gao Huan, and used the flood to destroy Gao Huan's more than 100,000 troops, and solve the Central Plains problem once and for all.

But he didn't expect that Gao Huan was so alert and guessed his intention.

Seeing Gao Huan sending a water camp over, Dorgon was afraid that Gao Huan would burn the floating bridge and separate him on the south bank, so he had to break the river in advance.

Looking at the rolling river water, breaking out, Kaifeng City, which was standing on the ground level in the distance, gradually disappeared as the flood surged, Dorgon felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

"Hmph! This time I took advantage of the barbarian Gao, and he escaped the disaster." Dorgon looked at the direction of Kaifeng, "But the barbarians in Kaifeng dare to fight against the Qing soldiers, they must die in order to relieve the hatred in their hearts!"

Now after the break, the Yellow River diverted its route and the river rushed south. The Yellow River on the back of the Qing army had no water flowing in, and gradually exposed the riverbed, and there were fish and shrimps.

At this time, the Qing army no longer had to worry. Liang Jun’s water camp burned the floating bridge. Dorgon ordered coldly, "After dawn, kill him, no living person is allowed to stay!"

Kaifeng City blocked Dorgon for a winter, causing heavy losses to the Qing army. He hated the military and civilians in Kaifeng City.

As the sky gradually became brighter, the flood near Kaifeng City had already slowed down, and the entire Kaifeng City, except for a few roofs and towers, was exposed to the water and was all submerged in the water.

At this time, the surviving defenders and people were crowded with roofs, and some soldiers standing on the city walls. The flood flooded their waists were so cold that their faces were pale and their lips were black. Many people could not bear it and poured them into the water.

At this time, nearly a hundred rafts were flying over from afar, and the Qing army above began to shoot arrows at the soldiers and civilians standing in the water and on the roof.

"Dog Tartar!" Chen Yongfu saw the Tartar coming, picked up the bow and arrow, and shot it out. The Qing army on the raft in the distance fell down and fell into the water.

The Qing army actually dug the Yellow River and opened the water tank to Kaifeng, using such vicious means, regardless of the spread of the Yellow River every year in the future, causing the surviving Kaifeng military and civilians to grit their teeth.

The soldiers and civilians on the city tower and on the walls picked up bows and arrows and shot them, venting their anger.

However, they did not cover up and were completely exposed to the Qing army's arrows, and there were not many bows and arrows, so they could not compete with the Qing army at all.

At this time, the Qing army raft approached, and the rain of arrows whizzed, and people were constantly shot, rolling into the water, blooming with bright red water splashes.

"Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu!" Boluo laughed on the raft, "Gou Manzi, tell you to fight against the Qing Dynasty, tell you not to surrender, let's die together this time!"
