The Era of Generals

Xilong City.

The city lord Ning Zhenggang is also the highest commander of the city. He has already walked up to the city himself at this moment, watching the situation outside the city with his brows furrowed.

Knowing that the time is tight, Zheng Yuanyun outside the city also did what he said. Thousands of catapults were quickly erected on the river bank, and then the huge roar continued, and for a while, the stone was like rain!

The moat under the city of Xilong seemed to be raining with huge boulders suddenly. Numerous boulders did not attack the city wall of Xilong according to Zheng Yuanyun's meaning, but directly poured into the moat from near to far.

Ning Zheng just looked at his moat as if it was boiling, madly agitating a lot of water, and his fists were gradually clenching.

Zheng Yuanyun's attempt is so clear that he can know the other party's intentions as long as he is not a fool.

This is breaking the river!

But is it that easy?

Ning Zheng just looked at the enemy catapult, which seemed to never stop, and a sneered sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"Come on!"

He yelled softly, and his subordinates who had been on standby for a long time immediately stepped forward, and listened to Ning Zhenggang's command: "Take people to the upper reaches and release the water!"

Throwing rocks and cutting off the flow was something he had expected, but Ning Zhenggang felt very lucky that he had ordered people to store water in the upper reaches of the river in advance.

The moat of Xilong City is not turbulent, but it is not as calm and simple as it is now. The reason is that Ning Zhenggang had asked someone to build a dam upstream to reduce current and store water. .

Of course, he did not expect that Zheng Yuanyun would use the method of throwing stones to stop the flow so crudely and directly, but thought that if the other party got a boat or something, he could use this trick to open the river during the process of crossing the river. The sluice released water, and then used the sudden turbulent current to destroy Zheng Yuanyun's offensive.

Unexpectedly, this trick now had an unexpected effect.

Zheng Yuanyun's catapult seems to be running non-stop, but everyone knows that the number of boulders in his hand is limited, that is to say, it will eventually be exhausted.

Now is the time to see whether his stones are consumed first, or whether the stones in the moat finally accumulate to become a pathway.

Now that the gate is opened and the water is released, when the surge of water power roars, it can not only increase the water level by a large amount, and double the consumption of Zheng Yuanyun, it can also wash away a large part of the stones, so His early investment was overwhelmed.

"My lord, shall we fight back and distract them?"

The subordinates walked away, and the general in charge of the trebuchet next to him leaned forward to ask for instructions.

Ning Zheng just turned his head, took a serious look at him, and said, "Are you stupid or a gangster?"

"what?"

The general stared at him, and pointed at himself incredulously, "My lord Mingjian, in the end, the general only wants to share the worries for the empire, nothing else!"

"Then you let me fight back?"

Ning Zhenggang sneered: "Do you want to hit them or give them ammunition?"

He pointed to the city, the general bowed his head in ashamed astonishment.

Zheng Yuanyun is not a fool. He will naturally take into account the firepower of the city head when commanding the catapult troops. The opponent is condescending, and the range of the trebuchet will be farther than his. It is true that he is also separated by a moat. , The opponent is just barely able to make the sling attack a little forward from the river.

The catapult unit commanded by Zheng Yuanyun was stuck at this distance, and he didn't need to attack the city wall, he only needed to dump the stones into the river, which of course would be far away.

Starting from the head of the city to counterattack, Ning Zhenggang couldn't think of any effect besides sending stones to the opponent.

He didn't really think that his generals were traitors, he was just disappointed with the latter's stupid thoughts.

At the same time, Zheng Yuanyun was here.

"grown ups!"

Without Xiao Du, the deputy scout became the current intelligence chief. He walked quickly to Zheng Yuanyun who was overseeing the battle in the front, and reported: "Sure enough, as the adults expected, they stored water upstream!"

"Ah!"

Zheng Yuanyun sneered, showing such an expression as expected.

When he first arrived, he felt that the water level was a little low. Now it is not a dry season. The water level in the river shouldn't be so low. This common sense Zheng Yuanyun still knows.

So he ordered people to throw stones, and on the other side sent people to explore the upper reaches of the river. As expected, in the news brought by the lieutenant, there was information that the upper reaches of the water was cut off.

"Can't let them open the gate and release the water!"

Zheng Yuanyun rolled his eyebrows and stared at his vanguard general.

The latter understood, and after bowing to his order, a hundred thousand cavalry rushed out and rushed to the upstream area with the vanguard.

Zheng Yuanyun is now strong and strong, and a random order is to dispatch a hundred thousand troops, which makes him feel proud.

With such a good soldier and strong general, why worry about the enemy city not being broken?

At the same time, Chen Ze also issued instructions.

"Cut off the brake rope directly!"

He sternly sternly.

The target of this order is Zhang Hualin!

Zhang Hualin, who had been monitoring Zheng Yuanyun in the dark, heard that the opponent was preparing to pave the way for the army to attack Xilong City by throwing stones and cutting off the flow. Chen Ze ordered Zhang Hualin to leave temporarily.

Zheng Yuanyun’s army will not move for a while, and Zheng Yuanyun, with everything arranged properly, will temporarily no longer have important information to detect, so Chen Ze temporarily asked Zhang Hualin to leave Zheng Yuanyun’s side , To do a more important thing.

This matter is exactly what both sides thought about the issue of upstream water storage.

Chen Ze, who Zheng Yuanyun can think of, can naturally also think of ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ After he saw the situation of the moat through Zhang Hualin's eyes, the problem of low water level also emerged in his mind.

The difference is that Zheng Yuanyun asked people to go upstream to explore, while Chen Ze directly asked Zhang Hualin to set off first and went to the upper reaches of the river, more than 20 miles away from Xilong City, and he saw the temporary building. Flood protection dyke.

Zheng Yuanyun's scout had to pass the situation back to the main camp to let the officer know, but Chen Ze didn't have this process, he had already seen the dam with his own eyes.

So Chen Ze's order had been given to Zhang Hualin as early as when Zheng Yuanyun's scout was still on his way back.

Cut off the gate rope, this is for Ning Zhenggang to complete the plan first, and release the large amount of river water reserves upstream.

The dam was built temporarily, and it is not necessarily strong. The principle is to build a huge wooden solid fence upstream to stop the flow of the river. A steel cable is fixed on each side of the fence. The upright fence makes the water flow over the fence before it can continue down.

As long as the steel cable is cut off, even if it is only on one side, the current that has been stored to the extreme will surge down from the mountains and tsunami, and Zheng Yuanyun has to be stunned!
