Chapter 672: Flooding the City

"You thought you wanted me to take action!" Jin Yao pouted.

After returning to Xianyang, he really wanted to rush to the front line in person to kill Han Wei. Who would have thought that South Korea would be gone before it was his turn to take action.

Needless to say, if South Korea is gone, Wei, who is surrounded in the middle, will no longer be able to resist.

Especially the entire Wei State was surrounded by Qin troops.

To the north are the armies of Meng Wu and Meng Tian, ​​to the west are Wang Jian and Li Xin, to the south are Wang Bi, and to the east are Yang Duanhe.

To describe the state of Wei at this time in one sentence is, Great Wei, stop it, the Qin troops are all outside!

The military report was not only transmitted to Xianyang, but also to the Qin army surrounding South Korea.

Meng Wu and Meng Tian of the army in the north, Wang Jian and Li Xin in the west, and Yang Duanhe in the east also received the victory report immediately.

"I'm scared to death. I'm finally not alone anymore!" Yang Duanhe also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Korea is destroyed, Taoyi will no longer be an enclave, but will be able to help each other with the Qin army in Korea, without having to worry about being joined by Han, Wei, Chu and Qi.

Meng Wu and Meng Tian also became aggressive. South Korea had already fallen, but they were still entangled with Wei, so they no longer restrained themselves and launched a fierce attack in the direction of Daliang.

Wang Jian and Li Xin naturally refused to watch and also launched an attack in the direction of Daliang.

Finally, three days later, the Qin army's three armies from the north, south, and west also completed the rendezvous under Daliang City, with a strength of more than 300,000.

And all the defenders in Daliang were only 50,000 in number.

The only trouble is that Daliang City has towering walls and a wide moat, and it is not easy for the Qin army to break through Daliang.

Especially the four gates of Daliang City have barbicans, which is also a huge trouble for the Qin army.

"This is a huge city built by the Mohists. It contains the Mohist's top city-defending techniques. It is not easy to break through!" Wang Jian looked at Meng Wu and Meng Tian and said.

This time they have determined their goal, which is to accompany the prince to study and let Mengshi break through the city gate and the Wei Palace.

Meng Wu and Meng Tian naturally knew that Wang Jian and other generals were deliberately giving up this military merit to them, but they were also worried that they would attack Daliang City regardless of the cost of their soldiers' lives for the sake of victory.

"The Mo family is really both loved and hated by people!" Meng Wu angrily smashed the bill in front of him.

When they were defending the city in the past, they felt that the Mohist's mechanism skills combined with the towering city walls made them feel safe. But now, they had to face Daliang City with its Wengcheng sanitation system.

"It's not difficult to break through the beam!" Meng Tian said.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Meng Tian. They knew how difficult this beam was to gnaw, especially Wang Bi. During the Battle of Guanyi, they had wanted to attack the beam, but it was too difficult to gnaw. In the end,

Had to give up.

"Daliang is a Tucheng after all!" Meng Tian saw everyone looking at him and spoke slowly.

All cities are made of clay, and the beams are no exception. Although they are extremely strong, they also have their shortcomings.

Among the five elements, earth controls water, but the reverse is also true. Water can also control earth!

"General Meng Tian wants to follow the example of Lord Wu An who flooded Ying and Liang?" Wang Ben also suddenly reacted.

The moat in Daliang is not stagnant water, but living water, and it is water from the Yellow River!

"Drain the water from the Yellow River into the moat!" Meng Tian looked at Wang Ben and nodded.

Even the river channel belongs to the county. They only need to dig the water mouth wider, and the endless water of the Yellow River will flow into the moat along the ditch, eroding the foundation of the entire Daliang City Wall. There will be no need to attack, Daliang City will also

Collapse.

"What a plan!" Wang Jian and others immediately understood.

There is no need to divert too much water from the Yellow River into the ditch. You only need to let the water from the Yellow River cover the corners of the city wall of Daliang City. Within half a month, the foundation of the city wall will be eroded by water and will naturally become soft, causing the city wall to collapse.

By then, the Wengcheng situation will be defeated.

And they didn't even need soldiers to attack the city wall, they could just sit back and wait for Daliang City to collapse.

Following the order, a group of soldiers immediately rushed to the water mouth of the Yellow River and Daliang Moat, and dug and expanded the water mouth, causing the roaring Yellow River water to rush into the ditch and into the moat, continuously raising the water level of the moat, and finally submerged it.

It stopped three feet below the city wall.

Standing on the tower, Wei Jun naturally saw the water of the Yellow River pouring in, but he could not stop it.

The Qin army has surrounded Daliang City, although there is enough food, grass and baggage in Daliang City to hold on.

However, neither the King of Wei nor the Prime Minister had any expectations, because they had no reinforcements, and the sudden fall of South Korea left them completely isolated.

Now the Qin army is diverting water to flood the city. They also cannot go out of the city to stop it. They can only wait quietly for the water of the Yellow River to soak the foundation of the city wall softly, and then the city wall collapses.

"Surrender!" Wei Xiangan Lingjun looked at King Wei and persuaded unwillingly.

The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to turn around. They have been trapped in the isolated city, and there are no reinforcements!

"As long as the royal city is breached, the king will not surrender!" King Wei still maintained his royal demeanor and was unwilling to surrender before the city gate was breached!

Lord Anling sighed and looked at King Wei.

"On the day when the city is destroyed, I will take the first step for my uncle!" Lord Anling looked at King Wei and said.

"Uncle!" King Wei also knew that Lord Anling was determined to die, but he didn't know how to dissuade him.

"I am unworthy of the late king's entrustment. I failed to make the Wei State strong and prosperous, but instead allowed the Wei State to perish. How can I have the dignity to live in this world again!" Lord Anling shook his head.

"The day when the city is destroyed is my period. Your Majesty, please cannot follow me. The people of Wei still need your Majesty to properly resettle them!" Lord Anling continued.

He is certain to die. The Qin State cannot let him, the Prime Minister of the Wei State, live, but the King of Wei cannot die, otherwise the Qin State will no longer care about it, and the entire Wei State will be trampled under the iron hoofs of the Qin army.

As long as the King of Wei is still alive, the Qin army will not dare to ravage the Wei state excessively. After all, etiquette and law still exist in this era.

As long as the King of Wei is still there, even if the Qin State destroys the Wei State, it must treat the people of the Wei State well!

King Wei watched Lord Anling leave the palace, but he also knew that this farewell would be an eternal farewell, but he could only bow and give him a gift. He did not stand up slowly until Lord Anling's figure was no longer seen.

"As expected of the royal city built by the Mohists, it has not collapsed for so long!" The generals of the Qin Army still inspected the various parts of the Daliang Royal City every day, but they never saw any sign of collapse of the city wall.

"After all, this is a royal city, how could it be so fast!" Meng Tian was not in a hurry. The collapse would happen sooner or later, so there was no point in rushing.

"There are about five more days of this, and that's almost it!" Wang Ben was also studying this method of irrigating the city.

In fact, they could also follow the example of Wu'an Jun Baiqi, let the Yellow River burst its banks, and then directly collapse Daliang City, but that would be too tragic, so they chose to simmer over low heat, boil frogs in warm water, and slowly destroy the foundation of Daliang City

soften.
