On the top of the Yongnian City (also known as Guangfu City), the thief Lu Hui who was guarding the city was pacing back and forth, looking thoughtfully at the direction where Wang Huan's army was stationed in the east.
"Brother, why are you so worried?" Lu Hui's sworn brother Shi Ding came over and said with a smile: "The walls of Yongnian City are high and the water is deep. We have stocked up on food and grass and treat this place as a military town. I don't trust the army.
Even if you have wings, you can still fly here!"
What Shi Ding said is true. Since Dou Jiande and Liu Heita established their capital here in the late Sui Dynasty, large-scale construction of the city began. Surrounding this ancient city is a ten-mile moat, which is like a lake.
It wraps Yongnian City in it. The city wall is very large, with urns, turrets, horse paths, city gates, Qianjin Gate and other defense facilities, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Lu Hui shook his head and said: "Leader Zhang ordered us to resist the army. Although we can defend this place, we don't know how long it will take. But I was thinking about it. At that time, Leader Zhang persuaded all the heroes to gather for a uprising.
If we succeed in separatizing one side, we can still negotiate with the imperial court and accept the invitation, so that our brothers will not have to live in the chaotic days in Moushan... But after thinking about it carefully during this period, I can really do this.
Is it done?"
"Hahaha! Brother, you used to be decisive in dealing with things, why are you so mother-in-law now!?"
Lu Hui looked back and saw that it was his third and fourth brothers who had become sworn brothers in Moushan. Lu Hui smiled and scolded his third brother: "Wu Cheng, you dare to tease me!"
Wu Cheng chuckled and said, "Since we are green forest thieves, what are we doing? It's nothing more than a big bowl of wine and a big mouthful of meat to live happily! Just go against the army and do it. How can we be so hesitant and hesitant?"
Lu Hui let out a long sigh and said, "In the past, we brothers were all single men. We could eat enough for one person and the whole family would not be hungry. But what about now? My third son, your baby is already two years old, right? Your sister-in-law is also pregnant."
.We have turned into bandits, we are accustomed to licking blood from the edge of a knife, and doing life-threatening business with others, but that’s all, but we also want our children to be shameful and live in the mountains as thieves all their lives?
Do you know why I drove all the residents of Yongnian County out of the city? Although we have to accumulate food and use it to the death of the officers and soldiers, when we really start fighting with the officers and soldiers and our brothers get angry, we can't stop the generals, so we are afraid of harming the city.
The people here are also trying to save my unborn child from causing sin."
As soon as Lu Hui said this, Shi Ding and Wu Cheng suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Wu Cheng cursed and said: "Straight bitch! Damn god, it's okay for the government to force us brothers to be shameless! Big brother cares about you
Sister-in-law and my eldest nephew, why don’t I want to teach my wife and that little brat to live a peaceful life?”
Wu Cheng was unhappy. When he saw Mou Shan's sworn fourth brother just leaning against the wall, holding his chin and looking out, he shouted: "Fourth brother, what are you looking at?"
Mou Shan, the fourth child, was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his face was as sharp and angular as a knife. He drooped his eyelids and said lazily: "It's a big trouble for your family and your family!"
When Wu Cheng heard this, he became very angry and cursed: "You are a child with a yellow mouth who is still pregnant and has a lingering fetus! How can you understand a man's business of running a family and raising a family? How dare you entertain your third brother!"
Shi Ding also laughed and scolded: "When it comes to martial arts, the three of us are not as good as you. I can't bear to make your brothers angry with your sharp sword and sharp tongue. Your nickname is not in vain."
Mou Shan, the fourth child, snorted coldly and simply said: "Now that we have fallen into disgrace, what else do we need to do to recruit people? It's too much trouble to keep going back and forth!"
Lu Hui smiled bitterly, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He held his hand on the wall stack, and suddenly felt the city wall trembling slightly. What's going on? Is Zhemo an earth dragon turning over?
The four leaders of Moushan looked at each other in shock, and when they were in a state of shock and doubt, a group of men suddenly rushed over and reported in horror: "It's not good, four brothers! There is a flood in the north of the county. Go straight to the county to pour water!"
Lu Hui and others were shocked and rushed to the north gate of Yongnian County. When they arrived at the city gate tower, they were stunned by the sight in front of them:
The torrential waves swept over, and the blue waves surged, as if all the water of the Nine Heavens Galaxy was about to pour down. The roar of the huge waves was like thousands of horses galloping, mountains were shaken, mountains collapsed, and trees were rolled up by their roots in an instant. They were like water gods. Gonggong was wreaking havoc, causing rapids and floods to pour into the moat. In an instant, it surged several feet!
Lu Hui, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng and other four people are all green forest thieves in Moushan, Xiangzhou. How do they know the topography and water conditions of Mingzhou? They saw that the country outside the city turned into a vast ocean, and the torrent still poured into the moat. , stood frozen and stared for a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
A huge wave rolled up and hit the city wall hard. The water splashed all over Lu Hui. Only then did Lu Hui realize that the water had spread to the top of the city wall. Suddenly, the moat surged dozens of times. Several rapids swept countless thieves down the city wall. Looking from Yongnian County, it looked like several waterfalls erupted out of thin air from the city wall!
"No! The officers and soldiers attacked with water!!" Lu Hui finally realized what had happened, and the crowd in the city was abuzz. The leader of Moushan in the city saw the water pouring down from the city wall, and quickly climbed up the wall and climbed on the wood. Holding the beam. In the blink of an eye, even the tables and benches in countless houses floated. Although the houses did not collapse, the water in the city was already up to the chest of ordinary people!
Outside Yongnian City, Shan Tinggui led five hundred Xuanjia soldiers to block the canal with sandbags and dug up the Mingshui River embankment. Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Xiao Tang and others watched from a distance and saw the spectacular scene of the city being flooded. Everyone was amazed. When Shan Tinggui came back to hand over the order, Wang Huan nodded and praised him: "Back then, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty built a weir near this place to block the Mingshui River, and used water attacks to defeat Liu Heitai's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Shan Tinggui defeated Liu Heitai's tens of thousands of troops. The commander must memorize the terrain and water conditions to master the water attack. When the city is defeated, he must remember the merits!"
Shan Tinggui cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "Thank you for your reward, Shangguan. However, the walls of Yongnian City are wide and tall. Although the city can be flooded, it is not enough to divert water to flood the city and drown thieves."
Zhang Zhangyiwu held the spear in his hand and said in a cold voice: "That's enough. The thieves can't take advantage of the city wall. The army will follow me on rafts to kill them. We will climb the city to kill the thieves!" After saying that, Zhang Zhang looked at Xiao Tang again and raised his head at him. Said: "Boy, come with me!"
Xiao Tang took the lead, Hua Rong, Xue Yong and other subordinates were already prepared. He said loudly: "I have the order!"
............
After the water stabilized, Lu Hui's men came to report after a while. A large number of officers and soldiers rode rafts and rushed towards the east gate of Yongnian County. He gritted his teeth and hissed: "The officers and soldiers are so vicious that they actually want to They came up with such a sinister plan! Brothers, protect the city wall and fight with them!"
At this time, the water in the moat surged to almost the same height as the city wall, and several waves of arrows were fired at each other. Those who were hit by arrows on the officer's side fell into the vast water, and more people were hit by arrows than the Moushan bandits on the prepared side. Waiting for the officers and soldiers The sergeant climbed up the city, and the battle became even more tragic!
Led by generals such as Zhang Kai, Xiao Tang, and Shan Tinggui, the army swarmed onto the city wall of Yongnian County without hesitation. A wave of people and horses followed one after another, just like a wave of people strangulating lives after a flood.
, blood wave!
The officers and soldiers and the Moushan bandits were completely crowded on the city wall and fought to the death. At this time, the wide city wall seemed extremely narrow. Instead of being chopped over by the enemy, countless soldiers were pushed off the city wall and fell into the city.
But for a moment, the smell of blood filled the water brought by the Ming River. The sound of shouts and curses, the sound of gold and iron clashing, and the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh were mixed together, causing the soldiers on both sides to become even more bloodthirsty and violent, fighting to the death.
Both the officers and soldiers and the bandits were eager to kill, looking for people wearing different clothes, and then biting them together like wild beasts. Some people had their arms chopped off with a knife, but they roared and threw down the enemy.
On the ground, they hugged each other into a ball and bit the enemy's throat with their own teeth. Some people had their abdomens slashed with steel knives, and their intestines fell out without realizing it, until their heads were chopped off with a knife...
At this moment, the river water around the east gate of Yongnian County is bright red.
Xue Yong had also climbed onto the city wall at this time. Like other officers and generals, he was afraid of falling into the water and sinking when attacking the city, so he did not wear heavy armor. Instead, he wore uniform fine-scale paper armor. Xue Yong had just poked a thief when he suddenly felt
A cold light suddenly appeared on the right side, and five or six officers and soldiers were chopped up with long swords. A thief rushed out from the blood wave and struck Xue Yong with one knife!
Xue Yong struggled to resist seven or eight attacks. Suddenly, the thief general swung his knife.
As soon as he spurted out blood, he was immediately kicked over by the thief.
The thief general was about to rush forward and chop off Xue Yong's head with a single blow. Suddenly, a black shadow struck his side, and the wolf-toothed swords rushed towards the thief general like a storm! "Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!"
"The sound of sharp blades clashing could be heard endlessly. Xiao Tang stepped onto the tower and forced the thief back alive.
"Master Xue Yong, how are you injured!?" Xiao Tang did not dare to be careless and stared straight at the thief in front of him, turning his back to Xue Yong and asked.
Xue Yong coughed a few times and forced himself to say: "Ahem... don't worry, young master... I can't die yet..."
Only then did Xiao Tang feel relieved. He saw that the thief would drop the broad-edged iron sword with a stern look on his face, and he was staring at Xiao Tang.
"Thieves are rampant! Who are you!?" Xiao Tang shouted.
The thief general said coldly: "The fourth in command in Mou Shan, Zhu Jing, the 'Blood Knife'! Who are you, the dog official?"
"Are you Zhu Jing?" Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows and said, "I am Xiao Tang, the left-behind commander of the Daming Mansion!"
Zhu Jing raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Are you that useless son Ren Xia Xiao Tang? Did you kill the Thunder Tiger Dong Cheng? You are so good, just teach me to try your skills!"
After saying that, Zhu Jing rushed over and started fighting with Xiao Tang again. This Zhu Jing's sword skills were fierce and fast, and his skill was no less than that of Dong Cheng, whom Xiao Tang had fought so hard with! At this time, the water was pouring down the legs of the two of them, and their bodies were covered with water.
Fadu gave a discount. Xiao Tang was also good at fighting on foot with two swords. For a while, the two of them were still fighting with no outcome.
Xiao Li, Guang Huarong, was instructed by Xiao Tang to line up at the back of the siege raft. He tried his best to kill the bandits on the wall with bows and arrows before climbing up the city wall to fight the bandits in close combat. At this time, Hua Rong saw Xiao Tang fighting with a bandit in the distance.
, he made a prompt decision, picked up his bow and arrow, and took a real look at the thief!
