The rain suddenly started to rise. From noon, it drizzled to the evening, but there was still no sign of stopping. Thunder in the sky sounded overhead from time to time, and lightning flashed, cutting the dim sky into irregular twos.

The film also shines the dim Ci County town in snow.

Ci County fell into chaos in the rain. When Zhong Jie's retreat order was issued, the entire Ci County was in chaos. Although he was prepared, everyone in the county government spread to the city and hoarsely promoted the coming soon.

But most of the people didn't believe it, but they refused to move away. After making trouble in the middle of the night, only some of the big households in the city were willing to leave. Most ordinary people stubbornly guard their homes, and no matter how they persuaded them,

Unwilling to leave home, Zhong Jie had no choice but to inform Park Demeng of the situation and asked him to send a thousand soldiers who agreed to come over and force the people to start moving.

Under the pressure of the cold long swords and spears, the people of Ci County began to prepare before moving with helpless crying and scolding. Food is indispensable. It is raining now, so the rain cloth must be prepared. At home

There is always a need to clean up the gold, silver and fine details of the gold, silver and fine silk. Some people, even holding pigs, sheep, and holding chickens and dogs, were in chaos in the whole city, but their actions were extremely slow.

Park Demeng was wearing armor and stood by the Yanjin River, allowing the rain to hit the armor, making a pleasant sound. The guard next to him was carrying a lantern, which looked a little dim in the mist and rain. With this one

The faint light emitted by the lantern, Park Deming kept staring at the flowing Yanjin River. He hoped that his judgment was wrong. If his opponent really insisted on storing the water and shutting down the flow without caring about the lives of the countless people in Ci County, Ci County

But it was dangerous. All kinds of fortifications that I had spent a lot of effort to build around Cixian County will be wasted and will no longer be useful. Although Wangwu Mountain is big, the enemy needs to attack it, but

It will not be a one-day effort to establish a new line of defense.

This damn rain! He stepped down hard, and the mud and water splashed up, dipping spots on the armor. "Have the water level risen?" He looked at someone who had just climbed up from under the river trough.

The soldiers, during the day, had marked the water level line.

The soldier shook his head, "No, general, no rise at all! And it's two inches lower than the day!"

Park Deung sighed heavily, he probably wouldn't be wrong. It's been raining for so long. Theoretically, the water level should have risen, and even if it doesn't rise, it will never fall. After looking at Yanjin

He glanced at him, and he stomped his feet violently, turned around and left.

"Notify all departments to immediately dismantle the large-scale ordnance on the defense line and transfer to Wangwu Mountain. Notify the first post and head to Wangwu Mountain first to build a new defense line on Wangwu Mountain as fast as possible!"

"Yes, general!" A soldier turned around and ran away.

"Notify Lord Zhong. The people in the city are only allowed to bring food to the mountain with them. If anyone dares to disobey, they will kill Wuhe!"

"yes!"

"Go to the second post and see if the spies they sent to Yanping have returned? If anyone comes back, take my camp immediately!"

"yes!"

A soldier left like a flying man, but Park Demeng's face became heavier and heavier. Now he could only hope that Xingling could receive his emergency letter immediately and then forward it to the county, so that the prince could make a decision quickly.

Even if Daxian is lost, Xingling cannot be lost. As long as the main force is preserved, there will be a chance to turn the tables. Once the Anqing border army breaks through Ci County, Zhaotong will have almost no power to resist. Once the Anqing border army is approaching Xingling

Now that Xingling Mansion, with empty troops, is powerless to resist. If Xingling is broken, the main force in Daxian will be siegeed from two groups and will die without a place to bury it.

However, the second post that Park Demeng hoped for sent the spies who had gone out to find out the details of Yanping had fallen down one by one. In Yanping County, dozens of miles away from both sides of the Yanjin River, the Anqing border army's sentry was secretly deployed.

, intercepted and killed all suspicious people. The three groups of messengers sent to Xingling also encountered the same fate. Guo Feng's job was lurking on the necessary road to Xingling in Ci County in advance

The Fang Shi personnel intercepted the letter from three messengers and killed Park Demeng's urgent letter at this time.

"General Guo, kill another one!" A staff member of the rank of the staff, who was covered in black tights, rushed over and looked at Guo Feng, who was like a ghost under the rain curtain, in the night,

He handed the searched letter to Guo Feng.

With a thunderous sound, the seal of the letter was torn open, and another member of the staff next to him immediately lit a lantern. He gathered under the dim light. Guo Feng browsed the content of the letter and nodded with satisfaction, "Third

I've called it, but I don't think Park Demeng will send the fourth group again. I'll report to General Xiang Yun. Your first group is still here. Just in case, let a mosquito slip over, and you don't come back to see me.

, wipe your neck!"

"Don't worry, General Guo, you must not be careless at all!" The man in black thrust his chest.

Guo Feng nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left, watching Guo Feng and his group disappear, and the man in black turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Yanping County, Yanjin River, thousands of soldiers were carrying bags of sand and stones naked, pouring them into the river. An artificial embankment had extended most of the Yanjin River. The river channel became narrower and the water flowed more and more.

It was turbulent, and the ordinary forage bag containing sand disappeared as soon as it was thrown down.

"General Yun, no, I have to change the stones to put them in bags!" Li Fugui appeared in front of Yun Zhao with all his body. Yun Zhao, wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat, stood by the Yanjin River, and was interested.

Watching downstream.

"Well, okay, then change the stone!" Yun Zhao replied casually.

Li Fugui hesitated for a moment, "General Yun, are you really going to cut off the river and store water to attack Ci County?"

Yun Zhao yelled, turned his head, looked at Li Fugui, and smiled, "Why, do you think I have been so busy, and the thousands of soldiers under your command have been busy for a few days, are they just having fun?"

When Yun Zhao saw it, Li Fugui suddenly became uneasy and rubbed his hands and said, "General Yun, you know, I am from Yizhou and I am actually quite familiar with Ci County. I have been here a few times before, Yanjin

On both sides of the river, the land is fertile and there are many people living in the settlement. Cixian County is located by the Yanjin River. The terrain is very low. The flood can be burned in one go!”

Yun Zhaoha laughed and looked at Li Fugui, "I didn't expect that my Chief Li still cared about the suffering of the people, it was rare!"

Li Fugui became more and more uneasy, "In fact, there are only 5,000 enemy troops in Ci County. Our fifth and fourth battalions now have more than 11,000 people, twice theirs, and more than we

The combat power of Park Demeng is our opponent. As soon as we rushed up, we immediately made him become Park Demeng. There is no need to spend so much effort to store water and stop flowing!"

"Is this your idea?" Yun Zhao said with a smile.

"Yes, General Yun, the last general is willing to attack the striker!" Li Fugui thrust his chest, and the pockmark on his face looked particularly bright under the light.

Yun Zhao didn't say anything, patted his shoulder, turned to look at the soldiers who were still busy on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and said, "The five thousand combat soldiers led by Park Demeng are all the old foundations of Wang Haogu's army, and their combat power is very strong.

He had been dealing with Wang Qiang for a long time, but Wang Qiang still couldn't find a way to defeat the enemy. Don't think that Wang Qiang is young and looks like a big child. He has a family background. His father turned out to be a regular general in the court. When it comes to fighting a war

You may have to carry his shoes in addition to bravery."

Li Fugui sniffed, obviously a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, Wang Qiang was indeed a baby. I heard that he was very close to General Yun. Although he was not much younger than General Yun, he always called Yun Zhao uncle.

He even believed that Wang Qiang became the fourth battalion general because of this relationship.

"Don't be busy denying it. You will know if you fight too much in the future." Yun Zhao stopped Li Fugui's words and continued: "It's okay for his 5,000 war soldiers, but my Anqing border army is indeed like that."

What you said is far better than him, but Park Demeng built solid fortifications in Ci County, using this as a support and preparing to withstand our attack. The generals of Dayue may not be very capable of charging into battle, but this guard

City defenses are indeed a good match!"

Li Fugui knew this was true. In the past, he heard from the county town that there were many heroes who defended the city. The most famous one was that during a war in the previous dynasty, hundreds of thousands of troops besieged a prefecture city and attacked for many years.

, but still could not break the city, and in the end, the city was exhausted from ammunition and food. The soldiers were unable to lift their swords and guns to break the city. The famous battle lasted for three years.

"Eventing such experienced generals guarding the city may not be successful even if you pay a heavy price!" Yun Zhao paused, "So, I will never attack the city unless I had no choice."

"So we have to store water and stop the flow, and flood Ci County? Drive them out of the fortifications and the city before fighting?" Li Fugui murmured.

"Natural!" Yun Zhao said, pointing to the direction of Cixian downstream, and smiled: "I guess Cixian is in chaos now. Park Demeng should have found that we are storing water and flowing out, and he will have to withdraw his meticulous construction.

fortifications and Cixian County." "Li Mazi, if you were asked to choose, would you choose to make your soldiers sacrifice to attack the city in order to take care of the safety of those people who were not familiar with downstream? Or would you choose the simplest

Yes, here, just like the way it is now?" Yun Zhao pointed at the busy soldiers on the river bank.

"I..." Li Fugui was stunned, his eyes were confused. He looked at the soldiers with naked arms and had hot water facing the sky, and looked at the direction of Cixian downstream. For a moment, he could not answer.

"General Yun, General Yun, General Guo Feng and General Guo are back!" In the distance, two horses rushed towards this side.

Looking at Li Fugui, Yun Zhao patted his shoulder, "You, very good, I like you!"

Looking at Yun Zhao's back as he turned around and left, Li Fugui couldn't help but feel confused. He clearly put forward a opposite opinion from the general, why did the general say that he was good and like me?

Standing there and thinking for a while, he finally couldn't figure it out. Li Fugui took heavy steps and walked towards his own troops.

"Person Li, Person Li, General Yun asked you to go to the central army tent immediately!" A personal soldier of Yun Zhao flew over and rushed to Li Fugui, saluted him, and said loudly.
