The 270th chapter water attack the beam (1)

In early June, the sky was gray and there was continuous rain.

Sometimes it drizzles, sometimes it beats up the pear blossoms.

After the rain fell, the sky never cleared again.

Looking at the wind and rain all over the sky, the Qin army couldn't help but be happy. News came from the central army that the plum rain season was approaching, and the Qin army's plan to attack Daliang City had reached the last step.

It's only a short kick.

"Our army has built a canal that surrounds the beam for a few years. The river water has risen, which is the perfect time for water to attack the beam."

In the central army's tent, the Qin army was holding a military convention. Xin Sheng pointed to the map on the table, and there was a hint of excitement in his words.

The Qin army besieged Daliang for about a year. After a long wait, it finally arrived at the season for harvesting fruits.

"Is there any problem with the canal built by Zheng State?"

Wang Ben stared at the map on the table with a expressionless face.

"I carefully checked each canal, and there was no problem." Xin Sheng clasped his fists, "While Zheng State built the canal, soldiers secretly monitored him, and he did not contact suspicious people."

Deep down, Wang Ben hoped that Zheng State could play his genius in water conservancy, but he was still a little worried.

As a Korean spy, Zheng Guo was in charge of the construction of Zheng Guo Canal, which would not hurt lives. Zheng Guo Guo has always resisted military projects such as water attack Daliang.

"Meng Tian, ​​controlling the river in the north is the most important thing. You will be responsible for guarding the canals in the north. The gate will be opened at the hour of Hai tonight."

A trace of determination flashed in Wang Ben's eyes and he made a decision.

"No." Meng Tian responded with his fists.

Wang Ben arranged for Meng Tian to lead his army to garrison the north of Daliang. It turned out that he had such a thought to let Meng Tian act as the executioner who released the flood.

······

Wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat, Meng Tian immediately summoned the generals.

"The water attacks the beam, and it will be held at the hour of Hai tonight."

After the generals under his command gathered in the camp, Meng Tian made a clear idea and conveyed Wang Ben's order.

"The task of opening the gate will be carried out by our army."

"It's been a day since I was so busy that I've been stuck in Daliang City. The soldiers are doing nothing and they are almost lice on their bodies."

Meng Bao touched the knife around her waist and shook her neck excitedly.

After Zhou City went out of the city to fight, the entire army was wiped out, the Wei army did not send anyone out of the city. The Qin army had nothing else to do except to build canals.

On such days, the Qin army, who were used to the fierce battlefield, was particularly uncomfortable.

"Hmph, why are you excited!"

Meng Hu glared at Meng Bao with dissatisfaction, "General Wang handed over the task of opening the gate to the general, that's the destiny to let the general take the blame."

"Meng Hu said it well. In the future, people from Wei only remember that it was the general who opened the gate and flooded the beam." Jing Su said in a deep voice with a gloomy face.

······

"I must execute the orders made by soldiers."

Meng Tian raised his hand to stop the debate among the generals under his command.

Wang Ben's military order was already issued, and Meng Tian pushed for three obstacles. In Wang Ben's view, that was to challenge the authority of the main general.

On the battlefield, even if you are disobeyed, you will not be able to escape anyway once you disobey the command of the commander.

The right and wrong, merits and demerits will be commented upon by future generations.

Meng Tian’s military camp hoarded 20,000 stones of grain raised. After Daliang City was broken, rescue could be launched immediately.

If water attacks Daliang, fewer people can die, try to die as little as possible.

"How is the military rations and materials moving to the highlands?"

Meng Tian carefully checked the large hanging map, with only a few high grounds on it.

"After receiving the general's order, I immediately mobilized people to transport them. Now I have all hoarded them on the high ground according to the general's request." Man Qiang, who came from Zhao, patted his chest and promised.

After the fall of Zhao State, a large number of small groups were narrow and had rampant activities. Man Qiang stayed in Zhao territory, asking the guerrillas in Zhao territory to find Chen Yu's whereabouts.

Half a month ago, Man Qiang got the news that Chen Yu quietly went south to Wei.

Losing the target of tracking, Man Qiang followed the trend and went south to Daliang and returned to Meng Tian's command.

"The dams outside the military camp need to be guarded by heavy troops. Open and secret whistles are arranged layer by layer, and always pay attention to the movement of the beams. Without my orders, no one is allowed to approach the dam!"

Meng Tian pointed to the dam that guarded the Qin army camp and decisively.

When Zhiboshui attacked Jinyang, it was precisely because the dam that did not guard and protect the military camp that the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were given the opportunity to take advantage of it.

There may not be spies in the Qin army, but no one can guarantee whether the Wei people will make a desperate bet and attack at night.

The chief general of the Wei army who guarded the city was not a mediocre person. From the continuous rain, he should have read the news that the Qin army was about to attack.

"The gate is opened tonight at the hour of Hai, and the entire army is on guard against the Wei army's night attack!"

After Meng Tian issued the order, he brought the timer to the Qin army sluice on the banks of the river.

······

"Swoosh"

In the vast night, a crossbow soldier hid under a straw shed in a Qin army camp in Daliang West City and released a sharp arrow.

"Zhu, why are you shooting arrows?"

The commander, the commander, turned around angrily.

"I... seemed to see a figure."

The crossbow soldier named Tao shrank his neck and pointed at Daliang City Wall with confidence, and was a little timid.

"Someone? Why didn't I see it?"

Shi Chang immediately squatted down, half of his head quietly appeared, and observed quietly for a while. Not to mention the figure, even half of a mouse was not noticed.

"I think you are nervous, right? I have told you how many times, without my order, you are not allowed to shoot arrows casually. When there is another time, you will kick you into the trapped camp!"

Shi slapped the duck on the head, and these new recruits were not as calm as veterans.

"Remember, remember..."

He shook his head, scratched the back of his head, and smiled honestly. However, under the night, no one noticed it, and he let out a sigh of relief from his mouth.

"General, a crossbow arrow shot from the Qin army camp."

In the Wei army camp, the lord general Gongshu Chongzheng paced back and forth, restless.

When the sky just started to rain, Gongshu Chong knew in his heart that the day that should come was coming.

Wei asked for help from Chu, and his body lowered to the ground, went to the throne, married the princess, paid tribute and surrendered, and really gave up his former dignity.

The King of Chu did send troops, but did not go north to rescue Wei, but chose to attack the Nanjun of Qin. Almost a month later, the army of Chu met the army of Nanjun Qu Teng and Li Xin, and retreated back to Chu in shame.

If you can't count on the Chu people, you can only rely on yourself.

Gongshu Chong's hands were trembling, and he took the crossbow arrow handed over by his personal soldiers, unable to hide his excitement.

He has not activated the spy lurking in the Qin army camp. He is waiting for the most critical moment and sends the most critical news.

The arrow shaft is naked and nothing unusual.

Gongshu Chong's hands were fumbled carefully, and there were some slight unevenness at the end of the arrow shaft.

Just wearing the bright copper lamp, Gongshu Chong opened his eyes wide and looked over. He saw a word engraved on it:

Hai·······
