Chapter 1576 The water receded
"Don't you know how to raise it? So much food is soaked in water, and the soldiers have diarrhea after eating it. How can they fight!"
Yan Xi was in a bad mood and took the grain official to vent his anger.
The grain official was so frustrated that he dared not retaliate, but sighed helplessly: "If the accumulated water does not retreat, the house will collapse."
There were not so many brick houses in ancient times, most of which were tamped with mud, and they were just a wall.
This granary is also a wall made of mud. After soaking in water, the foot of the wall has begun to melt.
Yan Xi glanced at the soft wall and left the granary helplessly.
Crossing the wall of sand that was useless, Yan Xi walked towards the commander's mansion.
When he got outside, Yan Xi did not look for a ulterior motive, but asked someone to find Feng Erniang.
After a while, Feng Erniang came over and Yan Xi went up with a pleasing look on her face.
"Master's Officer, please inform me about this. There is too much water in the city and the military rations have been soaked. If this continues..."
Before Yan Xi finished speaking, Feng Erniang said, "This is military affairs, General Yan himself talked to his master."
After saying that, Feng Erniang turned around and entered the backyard.
Feng Erniang is only responsible for the protection of the ulterior motives and the collection of intelligence, and she doesn't care about the military affairs.
Of course, because this is a mess, it is best not to ask about it.www.Bayizw.????m
Yan Xi had no choice but to wander outside the door for a while, and went in to report.
After kneeling at the door and reporting, Guiying said coldly: "I have read the record. It will take a few days for the rain to fall, so let them bear it."
The rainy season has two months, but the rainstorm lasts only about ten days, so the ghost wants to wait for the rain to stop.
Yan Xi immediately bowed: "Slave received the order!"
After exiting the General's Mansion, Yan Xi walked around the city, all of whom were cursing.
"If you are a soldier, you can't eat enough food. If you don't give enough food, you're still mouldy! Feed us as pigs!"
"I can't sleep well but eat well. What kind of war is it? I'm going home!"
"We are soldiers that we don't want. Look at the imperial guards, and they still have food to eat after they are defeated!"
"There are still fish on the street, so catch fish and eat it!"
Yan Xi knew that if this continued, it would inevitably lead to a mutiny, but he was helpless.
...
After a few days, the heavy rain slowly stopped and the sun finally came out.
Top of Hukou Mountain.
Long Chen came out of the cave and suddenly felt that the sun was also good.
The rainstorm has been falling a little long, and it is very uncomfortable to hide in the wet hole.
"Shengxue Peak is much more comfortable than here."
Long Chen smiled.
Gongsun Linglong scratched his arm and said, "There are too many mosquitoes here, and I'm biting to death."
Gan Zhen looked at the sun and said, "Sir, the rain has stopped, and Linhu City can take a breath. Should we strike while the iron is hot?"
Long Chen nodded and said, "The rain has stopped, and it's time for us to start. Let's explode the trees at the entrance of the lake first."
Gan Zhen immediately took people down.
Gongsun Linglong asked curiously: "Explode? Why did you explode the lake mouth?"
Once the lake mouth explodes and the water level drops, the water in Linhucheng will also recede. She doesn't understand why she does this.
Long Chen said: "You still want to squat here?"
Gongsun Linglong shook her head, she didn't want to be bitten by mosquitoes again.
Long Chen smiled and said, "If you don't want to be bitten by mosquitoes, then you can blow up the lake mouth and we can leave."
Gongsun Linglong knew that Long Chen had his own thoughts, so he didn't ask much, and immediately packed up his things and prepared to leave.
Gan Zhen led the people and lit the incense of the letter with the jar of explosives, and then added heavy objects to seal it.
The fishing boat rowed upstream and Gan Zhen lowered the jar.
There is a heavy object in the jar, which slowly sinks into the water and then drifts to the entrance of the lake with the flow.
More than a hundred cans floated over at the same time and were stopped by big trees.
The incense burned out, the gunpowder exploded, and muffled sounds were made under the water, and the dead branches and trees were shattered, and they began to break and deform under the squeeze of water pressure.
Finally, the giant tree was broken, and the water flowed down, making a huge roar.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Long Chen looked at the rushing stream at the entrance of the lake and said, "It's time to go back!"
...
Linhu City.
The city still had deep water, and the soldiers were a little riding on the walls that had not collapsed, some laying on trees, and some on the roof.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, with strange shapes and all kinds of postures.
But without exception, they were all sick.
After soaking in water for so long, it either freezes or has diarrhea. There have been many floating corpses in the water.
Li Chengdao was wearing armor and wading through the city, with no expression on his face, neither a happy expression nor an unhappy expression, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
When I walked up to the West City Gate, the city was already full of soldiers.
Not only the Xicheng Gate, but also the other three walls were crowded with people. Most of them only wore pairs of pants to bask in the sun, or even nothing was worn.
When the soldiers saw Li Chengdao coming, they didn't care and lay there.
After soaking for so long, everyone feels like they are going to die. Who cares if you are the emperor or not?
Li Chengdao ignored it and stood at the top of the city, looking at the lake, frowned slightly.
"Who retreated..."
Li Chengdao said softly.
In the Shuai Mansion, Feng Erniang had already discovered that the water was beginning to fade.
The reason is very simple, the drainage ditch in the city starts to drain again.
"Master, the slave requested to go and investigate again."
Feng Erniang wanted to find out if the lake entrance was washed open.
Guiying nodded slightly and said, "No, if you don't go, let your subordinates go, go immediately!"
Guiying was worried that Feng Erniang would be killed, so she asked her to send someone else.
Feng Erniang felt happy and immediately sent someone to investigate.
