The 271st chapter water attack the beam (2)
As the hour of Hai approached, the drizzle of rain suddenly stopped.
The Qin soldiers held a long halberd in their hands and occasionally wiped the rain on their faces.
The hat on your head cannot cover up all the wind and rain.
On the bank of the river, under the leadership of Zheng State, a sluice appeared out of thin air.
Looking at the skyrocketing river water on the north bank of the sluice, the Qin soldiers couldn't help but feel scared.
On the south bank of the sluice, the kneeless water was shining with a slight light. If you don’t pay attention, you will fall into the accumulated water. The Qin soldiers who are not familiar with the water will be in a mess.
In such a country of maria, water attacks the beams and some of the feeling of playing with fire on volcanoes.
If there is any mistake in the water conservancy project built by Zheng State, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"General, the hour of Hai is coming soon."
The military officer who was responsible for guarding the more missed, carefully checked the more missed in his hands, and after confirming that it was correct, he held it in front of Meng Tian.
"The hour of Hai has arrived, and I am ready to release the gate."
Meng Tian nodded gently. Now, the water attack on Daliang has finally reached the last step.
Just on a torch, Meng Tian looked up at the sky. It was pitch black, with only the cold wind blowing from time to time.
It's really dark and windy to make the night.
Meng Tian climbed up the steps and looked at the bronze gate that was so close to him. He sighed in his heart that the engineering technology of the Warring States Period had reached such a high level.
The finely designed ditches and rivers control the amount of water entering the gate of the river to avoid backflow of river water and injuring Qinying.
In the season when the river is dry, the water volume is insufficient, and it is difficult for water to attack the beams.
It is now the rainy season, and the river is surging. Only by achieving exquisite control can we use the power of nature.
Um?
As his eyes passed the sluice and fell on the water-stacked surface, Meng Tian's brow suddenly frowned.
In order to have ripples on the accumulated water?
"General, what happened?"
Meng Hu followed Meng Tian for many years and soon noticed the strangeness on Meng Tian’s face.
"Shh--"
Meng Tian raised his hand, stopped the personal soldiers from approaching, and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Meng Tian squatted down, listened with his ears, and opened his eyes wide to check.
Ai Nai…………
In the dark night, there seemed to be a slight sound of Eh Nai.
Under the fire, the imperceptible ripples were particularly obvious.
This is not the ripples formed by wind blowing the water surface, but the aftermath of the boat's oar hitting the water and slowly rippling away.
"Be wary, there are enemies!"
Meng Tian stood up and ordered his personal soldiers to knock on the warning.
"Listen to my orders and put out all the torches!"
Puff puff puff —
The torch on the sluice gate had just been extinguished for less than a few breaths, and a clearer and clearer sound came from the water surface facing a large number of water.
The Qin army, who had been in Daliang City for nearly three months, was extremely familiar with such a voice.
A large number of fishermen around him make such sounds when they are sailing.
It was midnight and midnight was approaching, and no fishermen came to fish at this time.
"Quick, fast, fast, speed up, Qin army discovered us!"
The shipboard of a small boat, the veteran Gongshu Chong held the side of the boat, his eyes full of anxiety.
The Qin generals decisively ordered the torch to be extinguished, which was beyond Gong Shuchong's expectations.
In the dark night, people are naturally afraid of the darkness and are close to the light.
This was exactly what Gong Shuchong considered when he formulated the plan to raid the sluice.
The Qin army is under the light, and there will be visual sluggishness towards movements and stillness in the dark.
I am in the dark and the enemy is in the bright. Only when the Wei army raids will add some vitality.
Hearing Gong Shuchong's orders, the Wei soldiers on the boat waved their arms and rowed their oars desperately.
When leaving the city, I was cautious, and I was afraid that the Qin army would discover it. Now the Qin army is alert, and there is no use to be cautious.
The Wei army's boat was moving very fast, and it only took a bucket of wine to appear in the Qin army's sight.
At this time, the Qin soldiers began to admire Meng Tian's order to extinguish the torch.
Human eyes are born to adapt to darkness.
After the torch was extinguished, out of self-defense instinct, the Qin soldiers opened their eyes wide and stared at the darkness in the distance.
When the Wei army appeared, they could see the outline of the Wei army's boat.
About fifty steps away, the red armored clothes on Wei Jun were particularly eye-catching.
"Prepare to face the enemy!"
"Don't panic, General Meng discovered that the Wei army was attacking in advance, so he had already responded!"
"The one who left the city was just a small Wei army. There was no reinforcements to support them. Just keep the position!"
The chief of the Qin army, the chief of the garrison, and hundreds of generals, had blood in their hands and had cut their heads, and was calm and composed, maintaining the strict formation of the Qin army.
A combat-capable army is of course important, but a wise general is the backbone of a high-quality grassroots officer.
As long as these veterans are big, they can quickly recover their combat effectiveness even if they suffer a great loss.
"Be prepared for a tough battle!"
Meng Tian's right hand was placed on the ring-headed knife around her waist.
The Wei army raided the water gate, and it must have been planned for a long time, so naturally it would not be miscellaneous soldiers.
The Wei army in Zhou City suffered almost all losses. Meng Tian did not expect that Gong Shu Chong would lead his elite soldiers to attack the Qin army's sluice in person.
The Qin army crossbowmen, holding the Qin army, cast three rounds of crossbow arrows towards the water.
The sound of the swaying arrows cut through the tranquility of the night sky.
The dark night really restricts the archers' performance.
Meng Tian shook his head helplessly.
Thousands of crossbow arrows had few sounds of piercing into the human body. Most of the crossbow arrows fell into the water, causing no major casualties to the Wei army.
In order to deal with the Qin army's crossbow arrows, there was a special soldier holding a shield on the bow of the Wei army.
The boat was covered with a thick layer of bark.
The Qin army's crossbow arrow hit the bark of the tree and successfully cut into the water.
"When you dock, rush up and seize the sluice!"
Under the escort of several short-soldiers, Gong Shu Chong raised his long sword in his hand, pointed at the Qin army's sluice, and shouted loudly.
As the chief general who defended the city, Gongshu Chong didn't have to come to charge in person. It was just that the task of raiding the water gate was too arduous, and there was no return.
The Wei generals in the city retreated one after another.
Once the Qin army attacked Daliang, it would be equivalent to verdicting Daliang's death.
Gongshu Chong felt desperate. Instead of waiting for the hang to be hanged little by little, it would be better to just kill out and die happily.
After climbing the embankment, Gongshu Chong kicked the boat behind him with a decisive look on his face to show that he would advance but not retreat and would die.
"After seizing the water gate, open the water gate with all your strength."
A slight smile flashed in Gongshu Chong's eyes.
Didn’t the Qin people want to attack Daliang by water?
OK, I'm adding a fire to let go of the roaring floods in the river.
The raging river water can attack Daliang or submerge the Qin camp. The Wei Kingdom perished, but before death, it had to bite the Qin people hard.
The sluice built by Zheng State has two gates, which are combined with a solid embankment to block the turbulent river water in the north.
The Wei army's boat took advantage of the accumulated water formed by the rain and rushed to the shore, climbed up the embankment, and rushed towards the sluice.
"It's just a rebirth before death!"
Meng Tian pulled out the ring-headed sword from his waist and directed the Qin army to rush forward.
It's not that easy to seize the sluice...
