An old man in Blackwater City looked outside with a sad face: "I haven't seen the sun for almost a month."
"I don't know." The young man next to him was dressed in military uniform: "A notice has been posted outside. People from Bingzhou and Youzhou are blocking the river upstream, intending to flood Heishui City with floods.
Before the flood comes, the city lord and the commander will ask the civilians in the city to leave. Then you can take your mother, Xiuqin, Yuanyuan and the others to follow the big team."
The old man smiled with difficulty as he listened: "Is it confirmed?"
The young man nodded with a smile: "It has been confirmed, Bingzhou and Youzhou. If you want to take Heishui City, you must first see whether we Heishui people agree!"
The old man tried hard to keep the smile on his face, with tears in his eyes, and patted the young man on the shoulder, holding the crutch tightly in his hand. It would be great if he was not lame.
"Dad, don't worry, it's not certain who will win this battle." There was no worry on the young man's face: "We are led by one of the five marshals of Xiliang, and there are a large number of our own legions. There are so many things done in and outside the city.
How can those crooked people in Youzhou and Bingzhou still want to defeat us?
I heard that the King of Xiliang has achieved some victories on the grassland, and it won’t be long before he sends his troops south.”
The old man listened to Diandian, but just patted his son's shoulder hard, and held back a sentence for a long time: "Be careful on the battlefield, and say goodbye to Xiuqin properly before leaving."
"Don't worry!"
Similar things continued to happen in the city, and some people were hurrying to get married to give young people who were preparing to go to war a place to stay, so the Yamen began to issue ultimatums.
About five days later, the old, weak, women and children in the city who could not participate in the battle followed the Xiliang headquarters army and left Heishui City.
What is left in this city are young men wearing leather armor and Xiliang troops wearing uniform uniforms.
Li Tu stood on the city gate and looked to the north. There were dark clouds over there, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain pouring down. There was not much water in the Heishui River outside the city.
No one knows how much water is intercepted upstream.
There are numerous ditches outside the city, all of which are deep pits more than ten meters deep. The excavated soil is piled on the city walls, making the walls of Heishui City continue to become taller and thicker.
At the same time, a large number of stones from afar were transported by prisoners to increase the hardness and thickness of the city.
"Marshal, the professional army has returned!" The soldiers rushed to the side, and Li Tu nodded: "Let them rest well, recharge their spirits, and replenish their magic power."
The professional army is one of the reasons why Li Tu dares to stay in Blackwater City. More importantly, Blackwater City cannot be lost!
If he loses Blackwater City, he will lose control of the surrounding areas. There are many strongholds and a few small towns outside, but none of them can store enough military food in the entire area where Blackwater City is located.
The ordering soldier nodded and turned to leave. The Lord of Blackwater City was also wearing a military uniform and looked shy: "Marshal, Blackwater City depends on you!"
"Civilians are more important than this city, and your work outside is equally important. There is nothing to be ashamed of!" The Lord of Blackwater City had said before that he would coexist with the city, but he did not expect that an order would come from his superiors, ordering him to appease the surrounding areas of Blackwater City.
civilians, turning the surrounding people into solid backing for the Xiliang army.
Li Tu patted the thick shoulder of the city lord of Xiliang headquarters: "If Blackwater City is destroyed, I will go with you."
The city lord shook his head: "It is impossible to break Blackwater City. I am still waiting for you to be with Marshal in Blackwater City and see enemy corpses everywhere!"
"Hahaha!" Li Tu laughed: "Okay, when the battle is over, we will drink together on the enemy's corpse."
The city lord then smiled and clasped his hands in fists: "See you after the war!"
Li Tu also clasped his hands and said, "See you after the war!"
Rumble...
The wind and rain are getting heavier and heavier, and there is mud outside the city. The loess and rainwater are mixed together. Except for Heishui City, which is getting higher and higher, other places are getting lower.
"It's about to begin!" Li Tu walked to the tower and picked up the huge beast horn: "Woo~~~"
The desolate sound of horns spread around Heishui City. The soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters who were supervising the work and the people outside the city rushed back to the city, even discarding the things in their hands.
The prisoners under the mud pit panicked when they saw the Xiliang soldiers retreating one after another. They had some vague guesses about what the sound of the horns meant.
Some clever people used their hands and feet to dig out stairs and climb up. The pit they dug was so deep that they couldn't see the ground.
If their cultivation was still there, some of the strong ones could easily jump to the ground, but unfortunately their cultivation was gone.
The upper reaches of the Blackwater River.
Hundreds of experts practiced their skills to block the restless Heishui River. The water in the river was already more than 100 meters above the river surface, and half of the mountains on both sides were submerged by drinking water.
The wild beasts in the mountain forest gathered on the top of the mountain, and even if they didn't have any wisdom at all, their eyes showed hatred at this time.
The plains behind the mountains have been flooded with sleep, and some unlucky villages and towns have lost their traces.
In places covered with green grass, white bones appear, and a large number of bloodthirsty fish chase the beasts that are unfortunately swept in by the flood. Even the tiger, the king of the forest, loses his life in such a rushing flood, not to mention many who are not originally alive.
A creature that knows water.
The eminent Buddhist monks wearing yellow robes in the middle of the river had neither sadness nor joy on their faces. The black billowing clouds above them were like the souls of countless souls who had lost their lives due to the flood.
They were wailing unwillingly, resenting these people who cut off the river.
Far away from these strong men, the troops of Youzhou and Bingzhou had made preparations early, occupied high ground, prepared bamboo rafts and boats, and waited for the river to flow thousands of miles away.

A crisp cracking sound covered up the thunder in the sky. At this moment, the whole world was enveloped in the sound of breaking.
Click click click...
The intensive breaking sound was like a piece of glass making its final struggle. The eminent monk in the middle of the river opened his eyes, and golden power enveloped the strong men above the river.
There is not much true energy left in these people's bodies. If they are not protected by eminent monks, they will die when the barrier is broken.
"Everyone, please be prepared!"
The old man's voice was very light and gentle, and the armies on both sides of the river burst into powerful waves.
Looking around, the eminent monk's eyes finally stopped in the sky, and he closed his eyes while looking at the billowing dark clouds: "Amitabha..."
Click!
Boom...
The invisible barrier retreated and shattered, and a large river fifty meters above the river rushed out, blowing strong winds with a sound like ghosts crying and wolves howling, as if countless wronged souls were howling.
The powerful force emanating from the military formations on both sides collided with the power carried by the river. The battle flags rustled and the soldiers on both sides glared ahead.
distant sky
"The river is the body, and the resentful soul is the supplement. This is no longer an ordinary river, but a life-threatening river of death. What a cruel Buddhist."
