Da Wei Chun

Chapter 708
Even Yuanqin dared to dig the embankment, why wouldn't Daxi dare?

Instead, it reminded him.

He shouted heavily: "Xi Cong!"

"The end is here!"

"Notify the rear army, find a place on the east bank where the river hangs high, and blow up the dam!"

"promise!"

"Wait a minute... go directly to the mouth of the river and order Li Zhao to blow up the west embankment of the Si River and flood Yongcheng!"

"Order!"

The confidant promised loudly and went to deliver the order.

At most two quarters, when a few explosions were heard, the embankment on the upper reaches of the Qian River broke open several sections several feet wide.

Because the place where the river bed is higher than the flat land is chosen, the river water discharges extremely fast.After a while, the water flow in the downstream section gradually decreased, and there was no water to flow in several places dug by Yuan Qin.

Seeing that the east bank was approaching Zeguo, Yuan Qin wanted to cry but had no tears.

I wanted to submerge the enemy's path, but I didn't want the enemy commander to be superior and directly blow up the river embankment on the opposite bank?

No matter how much water there is in the Qian River, it cannot withstand such a drain.Even though there is still water in the river, it can no longer fill the gap in the lower reaches of the west bank.

And the leaked water will soak the road surface for at least two or three inches, and at least one or two hours in the sun can drive a car.

So far, blocking the enemy with water has become a fantasy.

not only that.

As long as the Wei River continues to flow, the Qian River will flow continuously to the east bank of the Qian River.If it is submerged like this, it will only take a few days, and within a hundred miles east of Siyang will become the country of Ze.At that time, the reinforcements from Dongfufeng, and even Jing, Bin, and Hua prefectures will come to rescue, how can they get close to Siyang?
It's really lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Yuan Qin's heart sank: Since it's flooded, grandpa might as well drown it...

"Order Yang Biejia, before the river runs dry, dig a trench outside the city to release water as soon as possible, the wider the better... Then send a fast horse and report to Governor Cui: Siyang is in danger..."

"As ordered!"

But before the words were finished, another army officer reported: "Bing Sima, fifty miles to the west, the enemy army suddenly appeared. It is no different from the rebels here. They are all pulling chariots and cannons, and they are all heading east..."

Fifty miles to the east, isn't it already at the foot of Mount Long?
Yuan Qin's horrified heart jumped into his throat: Longguan is broken?
wrong!

Cui Yanbo has an army of [-], even if he is defeated, he will never be silent, and he can't even pass the urgent order?
In all likelihood, they came from the Wei River, and they were in the same group as those not far away.

it's over...

Could it be that the sky is going to kill me Yuanqin?
……

Today is the second day of the lunar new year, and the new moon is thinner than a woman's eye slit.When it was getting dark, it had already reached the top of Xishan Mountain, and sank after a while.

Turn off the lights and light up, dense as stars.What's even more frightening is that the artillery in Xihai has not stopped at night?

And the accuracy is not much worse than in the daytime.If it was a live ammunition, it would hit the city wall five or six times out of ten.If it is flowering bombs and incendiary bombs, it is more accurate.Seven or eight out of ten bullets will fall into the pass.

Could it be that just like the binoculars, Li Chengzhi created a tool that can see things at night?
Cui Yanbo had an intuition that it was impossible, and after pondering for a long time, he suddenly realized that the rebels below the city most likely fought by lighting the lanterns and torches on the city...

Just as he was about to give an order, he asked the guard to turn off the lights.But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't get them out.

During the day, the guard on the city didn't notice for a while, and was touched by the rebels to the city.Several times in a row, nearly half of the foundations of Nancheng have been blown up.Although the city wall is still there today, it is already in danger.At most three or five more times, it must collapse.

Afterwards, Cui Yanbo did not hesitate to kill or injure nearly [-] infantry before he drove the rebels who blasted the wall down the mountain.If the lights are turned off, the enemy army will probably come up the mountain again in the dark.

Is it possible that you still have to pay for it with your life?

Cui Yanbo's heart felt like a pinprick when he thought of the wave after wave of well-armored infantry being nailed like a beehive by iron nails and rubble within ten feet of the enemy.

That was the central army of the imperial court. In order to drive more than a thousand rebels down the mountain, they lost nearly four thousand.

What's more: the eyesight is sharply reduced at night, and the accuracy of bows and crossbows used by the Chinese army is more than ten times worse than that in daytime.But the small cannons of the rebels don't have to worry about this, they only need to fire at the place where there is a light.As a result, the casualties may be more serious than Baili.

This kind of soldier is a fierce soldier who dares to fight and fight when encountering firearms.Is it possible that in just one day and one night, all of them will be buried in the pass?

After dawn, who should be sent to take the lead to boost the morale of the army.If Li Chengzhi sent dead soldiers to bomb the city again, how should he resist?
Just as Cui Yanbo was hesitating, his close aides suddenly came to report: "Commander, report urgently!"

Cui Yanbo's heart skipped a beat, and he asked anxiously, "Where did you come from?"

"Fan Meng, the guard of Chencang, Yang Zhi, the governor of Qizhou, and the conquest of Sima Yuanqin..."

Chencang, Yongcheng, Siyang...

"Why are they sent from all three places?"

"Because I came in such a hurry, I didn't rest for a while, let alone change horses. Therefore, before arriving in Longguan County, the messenger sent by Chen Cang and Siyang was exhausted and paralyzed. Then I met Yang Kan, the son of the governor of the sheep, and changed. I got rid of the horses, and those who came with me shut down..."

It is more than 260 miles from Chencang to here, and it is necessary to cross mountains and ridges. If you can arrive in four hours, you must hurry up and dare not relax in the slightest.

Siyang is a little closer, but it's still nearly two hundred miles away. If you don't stop for a moment, no matter how strong the horse is, it will foam at the mouth, exhausted.

From this alone, we can see how anxious Fan Meng and Yuan Qin are...

Cui Yanbo already had some guesses in his mind, but he snatched the emergency report and hurriedly scanned it, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell over.

When Cui Guang persuaded him to surrender at Guanxia, ​​although he made a strong oath, he said that Li Chengzhi had sent a navy with more than a thousand warships to attack Chencang directly.But Cui Yanbo was skeptical, thinking that this was Li Chengzhi's plan to disturb the morale of the army.

But out of caution, he still sent his scout Kuaima to Chencang to investigate.

At this point, he had to believe: not only did Li Chengzhi really send the navy, but the soldiers were divided.

All the way at noon, Chencang was captured, and then they descended the horse road along the mountain and attacked Longguan.

The other route was divided into two routes, one route was far away from the mouth of the Sihe River, so that the governor of Qizhou, Yangzhi, who came to rescue him, could not advance an inch.

The other road advanced by leaps and bounds, heading straight to Siyang, and the Yuan Qin was defeated steadily...

Cui Yanbo bit the tip of his tongue vigorously until his mouth was full of saltiness, then he calmed down a bit, and then carefully read the urgent report in his hand, he felt like five thunderbolts.

At this moment, he had no time to think about where Li Chengzhi's navy came from, and where did the thousands of warships come from.It was too late to delve into how the nearly [-] West Sea troops passed through the natural danger of Longshan Mountain and arrived at Chencang.

He only knows that Longdong and Guanzhong are now under the enemy's back and forth, and even if they can resist for a while, they cannot resist for a lifetime.

What's more, as long as Li Chengzhi is willing, he can go straight down the river and go straight to Luoyang...

And at this time, who can he ask for help?
Li Chengzhi has always said that if he does not move, he will be struck by thunder.Cui Yanbo is [-]% sure that since he dared to attack Guanzhong, he must have sent a large army to Liuzhen.

Regardless of whether it's containment or real fighting, Yuan Yao and Xi Kangsheng are already unable to protect themselves, and they are flawless.

As for the imperial court... When Luoyang sent troops to Guanzhong, the grass on his grave might have grown.

What's more, it is no longer a question of more soldiers and fewer soldiers.

But even if Luoyang sent troops to rescue the soldiers, they recruited civilians who had not fought or even practiced much.When such a mob encounters firearms, [-]% of the time they will be frightened and lose their minds. They only know how to flee for their lives like headless chickens, just like when Shanshan was under the city.

So ten thousand is death, and one hundred thousand is still death.

However, at this time, the rebels had already blown up the dam twice, and the guards on the dam were already dead or injured.Although there are many soldiers in Guancheng and Yincheng, they dare not show their heads after being bombarded by the artillery of Xihai.

What's more, the foundation of the south wall is already empty, and the south city will collapse within three to five days at the most.And if it is done like this, even if the one hundred thousand soldiers in the mountain are all dead soldiers, Longguan might not be able to hold for a month.

Although he knew Longguan would be broken, Cui Yan was not discouraged.He thought that even if the [-] troops died in Longshan, he would try to drag Li Chengzhi to Longxi as much as possible, day by day.

One is to consume the firearms of the rebels, and the other is to buy time for Yang Zhi, Yuan Qin, and even the court.

Or find another strategy, or build a city wall, or even strengthen the wall to clear the country, so as to keep the pass.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As long as you try to drag it on, you will drag it until Xi Hai is exhausted sooner or later.

But who would have thought that the leak in the house happened to rain all night?

Although the new army under Yang Zhi and Yuan Qin's command is numerous, with a size of [-] to [-], they are all mobs, and they are by no means the three-in-one enemy of Xihai Firearms.Therefore, if he does not send troops to rescue, Siyang will be lost, food and grass will be destroyed, and the road ahead will be cut off.

Once there is no food and grass, and the retreat is cut off, can all the [-] soldiers on this mountain eat grass?

What's more, once Yongcheng and Siyang are lost, the rebels in the pass will surely attack Li Chengzhi back and forth, how many days can I survive?

And if he rescues himself, he must have elite soldiers.How will Longguan be guarded by then?
If only that's the case.What Cui Yanbo was most afraid of was that Li Chengzhi would occupy Guanzhong. After that, no matter whether the source of soldiers or food and grass would continue to flow.At that time, it will not be a question of whether the imperial court can spend enough energy to cross the West Sea, but whether it dares to spend energy.

The so-called ebb and flow, there is only one Tongguan pass, how many days can Li Chengzhi be stopped?

For a moment, Cui Yanbo felt all hope was lost.

That's it!

Now that the family and the country are in danger, the only option is to serve the country with death...

He let out a sharp breath, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I ordered Yuanqin and Yangzhi to say that although the rebels in the pass today did not get close, and suffered a lot of losses. However, they are still stubborn and will not retreat. Yes The defenders on the mountain cannot withdraw half a team...

But please don't worry about the two of them, for at most three days, the morale of the enemy will be lost.Therefore, please be sure to ask the two of you to stay there for three days, and I will personally lead the army to help... In addition, I will quickly edit two letters, detailing the details of the battle here, and submit it to the Governor of Yuan Dynasty and the court..."

The confidant was startled.

Yang Zhi and Yuan Qin are not idiots, how could they believe such nonsense?
Seeing that the city of Siyang is about to be destroyed, food and grass will be lost, and the way back will be cut off, but you can't send half of the reinforcements.Even if he guessed with his toes, he also knew that Longguan was in danger, Cui Dudu could not protect himself, and he was innocent.

God knows if these two, like Governor Cui, have the ambition to serve the country with death?
If you can't, I'm afraid you will lose even faster...

I was anxious, and my cronies didn't dare to speak up.Looking at Cui Yanbo's face again, it was already pale with blue, with gray in the white, his confidant suddenly realized.

I can think of it myself, let alone the governor?
Now, it is powerless...
