Qiming 1158

Chapter 218 This race against time, I won
On the first day of December, the siege dam was basically formed.

After inspecting the dam, Su Yonglin gave instructions to continue to thicken and reinforce the dam. The reason is that it can store more water and make it more stable, so that it can give Zhending City a bigger one.

Of course, the main reason was that he knew that the Jinting reinforcements were still in Xiongzhou and had not launched a second round of attacks. It was estimated that the logistical problems had not been resolved, and he did not dare to attack rashly.

There is plenty of time at this time. Of course, we must consider the quality of the project, but don't flood the other side and collapse, and the meaning of flooding will be lost.

On the fourth day of December, Su Yonglin inspected the project again, and after a circle, he found that the quality of this simple version of the artificial dam is quite good, and it can be said to be a good and fast model.

"Looks like it's time to store water."

Su Yonglin said this to the generals around him.

The generals nodded one after another, and when they looked at the still-solid Zhending City, there was a little more playfulness in their eyes.

There is no doubt that they have seen the moment when Zhending City was trapped to death.

On the fifth day of December, Su Yonglin ordered part of the embankment of the Hutuo River to be excavated to divert the river water into the completed dam.

The big water rolled in, and soon passed from one end to the other, and an arc-shaped water city realized its existence.

However, this project is obviously a bit of a technical error due to the rush of work.

The specific calculation is not accurate enough, so from the time when the water diversion into the dam was completed, because the side of Zhending City was not high enough, the water was higher than the dam and began to pour into the encircling circle.

Of course, because it is a rushing river, even in the dry season, it can reflect the stalwart shore of nature and the ruthless cruelty of water and fire. The rushing water completely ignores the command of human beings and rushes away according to its own will.

Su Yonglin felt as if he could understand why certain river bursts could cause so much damage.

His dam inadvertently simulates the reality of flooding due to the fact that the water flow is too large for the channel to contain it.

Really, if he was in the city himself, he would feel numb in his scalp and despair.

There is no need for him to dig the artificial dam by himself. The water attack has already begun. He originally planned to finally threaten Zhending City, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

Although this is harmless, it also makes Su Yonglin feel the importance of such subjects as mathematics and civil engineering.

I didn't hurt myself this time. I'm lucky. It's not a big problem when I encounter a dry season. If something happens in the future, the flood water in turn floods me, what can I do?

It is urgent to establish a specialized professional civil engineering team. The professional level of Shengjie Army is not enough, and it needs to develop in a more scientific and accurate direction. Professional and technical arms must be formed.

Having a technical arm with extremely rich professional knowledge is undoubtedly very important for the goal of the Shengjie army to conquer cities and conquer territories.

Field battles require strong combat power and cavalry, while battles within the Central Plains are inseparable from siege and defense.

Compared with the direct brutality of field battles, siege and defense can better reflect the development of warfare technology, which involves key disciplines such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, psychology, and so on.

Not to mention other things, it is self-evident that a professional and technical arm with rich knowledge of civil engineering can bring the army in siege and defense operations.

The most famous case in Su Yonglin's memory is the Taiping army attacking Nanjing, relying on professional soil camps to build tunnels, burying gunpowder, and finally using [-] catties of gunpowder to end the Nanjing city wall.

This seems simple, but the professional knowledge involved is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. If you are not a professional, it is easy to make a tragedy of flooding the Dragon King Temple.

In Su Yonglin's mind, the appearance of a professional technical force appeared.

Of course, right now, of course, it's a backhand to give him a super double.

Su Yonglin ordered the dam to be dug according to the predetermined plan, and fully diverted water to irrigate the city, so that the true city would come to an end in the flood.

What I want is victory, the turn of the tide!
At the same time as the order was given, Su Yonglin turned to look in the northwest direction, where the extremely powerful Golden Army cavalry was.

They were late after all.

I won this race against time.

The water rushed in, and the ferocious current hit the city wall of True Ding, and kept accumulating within the range enclosed by the dam.

As the water level continued to rise, the situation in Zhending City became more and more dangerous.

When the water level reached a certain height, the city gate, which was the most vulnerable part, began to seep because it could not withstand the pressure brought by the water storage, and Zhending City began to be submerged by water.

Jinbing and Jurchen in Zhending City had nothing to do in the face of this dead end. They panicked and screamed. Other than that, they couldn't do anything. They could only watch Zhending flooded with water.

When the flood came, Wu Gu Lun Wolun, who was observing the situation, went blank.

It’s over.

Jin Ting's guarding of the important town in Hebei is really fixed, and it is over.

The cold wave he was looking forward to did not come, and the river water that he was looking forward to froze did not appear, as if God was going to oppose him, but he didn't let the river water freeze before the flooding of Zhending, so that the city of Zhending was flooded.

Everything is over, all storage, all supplies, and all people will be wiped out in the flood.

Su Yonglin was not in a hurry to attack, he was waiting for the city to flood the golden mountains.

At that time, even if the city wall was high enough to accommodate some people, it was impossible for them to continue to resist.

Most people will drown and die in this flood, and the few remaining will be meaningless even if they survive.

The death of these people is tragic, but who made them bear the original sin relative to the position of the Restoration Army?

Their deaths will cast Su Yonglin's illustrious reputation on the land of Hebei, and will become a clarion call to overthrow Jinting's rule in the Central Plains.

In this game, Su Yonglin has seen the dawn of victory.

Zhending City did not collapse under the impact and immersion of the flood. This city is indeed a fortified city, but no matter how strong the city is, it is not completely closed.

First of all, the city gate could not hold on, it was washed away by the water, and the water poured into the city fiercely.

There were not too many people who were drowned in the first wave, and many people ran to the top of the building to survive, but the flood directly destroyed the large amount of survival materials accumulated in the city, and these survival materials were lost. , they don't spend much time on the roof.

Not to mention that the water level in the city is still rising, some low-rise buildings have been gradually submerged, and despair pervades every place where there are still living people.

Of course, not everyone is willing to be obediently drowned, and many are trying to survive.

They are constantly moving to higher buildings, trying to occupy higher buildings and seek temporary survival.

However, the people who had occupied the higher buildings did not want them to fight, so they had violent conflicts with the people occupying the higher buildings, and even had a situation of killing each other.

In order to survive, people on low buildings attacked higher buildings, scuffled with each other, bit, and tried their best to push each other down so that they could survive.

As long as you push the opponent down, you will be able to live for a while longer, and if you can live for a while, you will have a greater chance of finally surviving.

Just to live!

Humans' desire to survive sometimes makes people wonder what they can do.

The number of people who were drowned by water and those who were killed continued to increase. There was no order in the city at all. As the highest city wall in the city, it was naturally the target of some people. They rushed up the stairs of the tower and tried to rush to the tower. Get help to survive.

But not everyone can go to the tower.

The big men and the elite army went up first, and then the technical arms such as bowmen were also able to go up. Some food was also stored on the city tower, and some were eaten.

But if there are too many people and there is not enough food to eat, they will not live long.

Therefore, Wu Gu Lun Wolun ordered that anyone who dared to attack the tower should be killed.

So the army on the tower did not first guard against the coalition forces outside the city, but first began to guard against their own people inside the city.
