When Wan Yanyong and others were discussing how to deal with the current crisis, the Song Army's "river engineering team" drove a large ship to the blocked breach with a width of [-] steps. At this moment, because the other two breaches were blocked , the water level has begun to rise, concentrating here to gush out.The helmsman on the big ship struggled to adjust the course with the rudder, and the sailors on the shore side struggled with the rushing current with long poles, put the ship across the breach, and then anchored and evacuated to the small boat behind.

The small boat full of stones that had been on standby for a long time approached quickly, and transferred the stones in the cabin into the big boat.As more and more stones were added, the big ship gradually sank and submerged more than half of its hull.Zhao Lin, who had been watching from the side, ordered to cut through the bilge to sink the ship. Several water ghosts moved quickly and cut open the bottom of the ship, and the river gushed in. The water flow suddenly weakened.

Zhao Lin seized the opportunity and ordered the soil bags and wooden cages that had been prepared to be pushed into the broken dike all at once. The big water flowing out turned into a small stream, and gradually turned into a small stream, and slowly returned to silence.Everyone seized the opportunity to quickly strengthen and repair the embankment at the "top" point "novel". The Liang River flowed obediently into the river channel and flowed westward, and the water level began to rise gradually.Zhao Lin ordered again, ordering the dug canal to be sealed and blasted, and the water accumulated in the wilderness was discharged along the canal into the various tributaries of the Liang River...

The water surface outside the city kept dropping, and Wan Yanyong could no longer calm down. He ordered the first army to go out of the city by boat while the water surface was still there to destroy the embankment again.As a result, people were sent out, but not only did the embankment not be dug, but none of them came back.Unwilling to give up, Wan Yanyong once again sent the army to divide into several groups to break the embankment.When it arrived, there was still no return.Only then did he realize that the Song army had learned to be clever, and had sent all troops to garrison the river embankment in Lincheng.And patrolling in the river with warships, when they found someone approaching the embankment, there was a burst of gunfire.It is very difficult to repeat the same trick.

Three days later, the stagnant water outside the city had all receded, and the trees and houses that had been submerged for more than ten days emerged from the ground again, and the embankment that had been soaked for many days lost the support of the flood outside and began to collapse, forming a huge pool. mud beam.Fortunately, just after the flood receded, the outside of the city was still very muddy, and people and horses could not walk. The Song army did not approach the city, but everyone knew that it would not take a few days.The residual water will be evaporated, and the land after the water will become as hard as tamping, let alone leaving people, running horses is no problem.

"Marshal, don't worry, the soldiers come to block the water and come to the earth, we have enough soldiers and food in the city to be able to fight." Wanyan suddenly looked at Wanyan Yong with a sad face and persuaded him.

"Why hasn't the peace envoy sent by the court before arrived?" Wan Yanyong asked with a sigh, now that the plan to resist the enemy with water failed, his mood plummeted.He pinned his hopes on the peace talks to delay the time.

"Marshal, we have surrounded the city with water, and both water and land have been cut off. Even if the peace envoy arrives, he will not be able to inform or enter the city, but he should arrive according to the distance calculation." Li Qiong said with a wry smile. It took a lot of effort to block the breach.But staying behind still has illusions about this, it is so naive.

"I see, the officials below. The two countries have become invincible, and the commander still needs to actively prepare for the war. Just in case something happens." Wanyan said quickly.

"Of course, Zhao Er and I have a vendetta for killing my father. This vengeance is irreconcilable. In the future, I wish I could kill this thief with my own hands. We will avenge this vengeance when we meet on the battlefield today." Wan Yanyong was told by Tu He. She blushed, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue and showed her cowardly side in front of everyone, and quickly covered it up.After he had seen the power of the Song Army's firearms, he had long understood that the skillful bow and horse he had always been proud of was incapable of fighting against the Song Army's artillery and Lianzhu guns, and killing a thief with this was just a dream.

"The last general is willing to fight against the enemy with the commander-in-chief, and swears to kill Zhao Er!" All the people in the hall saluted in unison.

"Thank you, Commander, now let's discuss a strategy to retreat from the enemy!" Anyone can say big words, Wan Yanliang burped his fart when he said big words, and servant San Zhongyi was killed for his big words and came back. One way, Wan Yanyong sneered secretly.

"The last general thought that since he was defending in the city and was bombarded by the enemy's artillery, it would be better to go out of the city and fight with him in the field, and take advantage of our horses and sharp swords to kill the enemy in the formation." Xiao general Wanyan Zhehe said first.

"No, the artillery of the Song army has a long range and great power. Most of its field horses have been damaged before they reach it, and the strength of its cavalry army should not be underestimated. Thousands of troops charge side by side with few enemies. With our iron floating map It is also difficult to resist. If we take the initiative to fight against him, it is exactly what Zhao Er wishes for." Wan Yan suddenly waved his hands together and said, since he conquered Yunzhong, he has fought against the new Song army trained by Zhao Er more than ten times, and has never taken advantage of it. In the end, he was captured by him and became an indelible shadow in his heart.

"We must bear in mind the lessons learned from the fall of Jinzhou. It is precisely because they tried to defend the city in vain. As a result, before the battle, more than half of the soldiers were killed and killed by the raging artillery fire of the enemy. After the enemy entered the city, they had no defense. It will be occupied in one day." Jiagu Wulibu said, he also disagrees with defending the city, that is too passive.

"How can Jinzhou City be compared with Liaoyang City? Jinzhou City is small and narrow, and the range of the Song army's artillery can cover the entire city. The soldiers and civilians have no place to hide, so of course they will suffer heavy casualties; while Liaoyang is five miles in length and width, its artillery cannot hit it. In the inner city, our army can hide soldiers in the inner city, and after they enter the city, they will start close combat with them, so that their artillery cannot exert their power; moreover, there are 30 soldiers and civilians in our city, and a large number of young and strong soldiers can be recruited. If they are consumed in such a way, they will retreat when their elites are exhausted, and we can use our troops to hide and kill Zhao Er." Li Qiong said.

"Well, this plan is feasible. Kill the enemy's edge, eliminate its elite, and take advantage of the situation to fight back. It's a good plan!" Wan Yanyong nodded after hearing this. Although this method of attack will cause heavy casualties, it is better than falling into the city. A hundred times better.

"Marshal, the flood has just receded and the road is muddy and difficult to walk. Song Junbi thought we would not go out of the city, and the two battalions are now scattered everywhere, far apart, and it is difficult to support each other. Why don't we secretly send an elite army to take advantage of the situation?" Hei goes out of the city to attack Zhao Erxing camp at night, if he is killed, he will win the battle." Kong Yanzhou offered another strategy.

"It is indeed a good plan. If Zhao Er is killed, the whole country will be without a leader in the Southern Dynasty, and it will surely fall into chaos. The troops of both groups will withdraw, and the crisis will be resolved!" Wanyan Yong said happily, this strategy is the most suitable for him. Blade the enemy, and be able to retreat from the enemy...

…………

At this time, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was very easy for the Song army's tens of thousands of troops to gather in one place, and the war horses were not resistant to the scorching heat, and became listless.Now that the flood is receding, it is still impossible to fight in a short time, and it is not easy for the enemy to escape, so Zhao Tuo ordered the infantry and cavalry to remove the troops on duty and go to Guanshi Mountain and Baishi Mountain to escape the summer heat, and the horses can also take advantage of it. Enjoy the cool air to cool off the heat.His life in the water camp was not easy now, so he camped in a forest by the Liang River to escape the summer heat, and the navy brigade chose a spacious harbor to berth, and the sailors were able to go ashore to rest.

The arrangement of the Song army seems to be scattered, but if you observe carefully, you can find that they control all the water and land passages and passes in and out of Liaoyang City. People outside want to come in, and people inside have to pass under their noses if they want to go out. And don't be absolutely impossible.The battalion is the most important protection target. There are naval warships on the river patrolling, on the embankment is the outer cordon set up by the marines, and further inside is the security force of the Metropolitan Deployment Division. The innermost circle is the guards. With so many barriers set up by the military, even a mosquito would have to make a report if it wanted to fly over.

Wanyan Zhehe was ordered to carry out his own suggestion and sent several teams of scouts to find the location of the camp, but they often never returned, and they couldn't find it after many days of tossing, let alone any night raids.But he didn't want to give up, so on a dark and windy night, he led three thousand elites to launch a large-scale night attack according to his guess. As a result, needless to say, the Jin army, who had trekked through the quagmire in the middle of the night, arrived at the predetermined position. It was all light, and Song Jun caught the exhausted mud monkeys without firing a single shot, but this also made Wan Yanquan completely give up, and endured the day with long sighs and short sighs.

But the worst one was Xiao Zhonggong, he even wanted to die.After the flood receded, the peace mission mission sent by the imperial court finally arrived, and brought an edict, not only did not remove him from the post of peace mission, but was promoted to Tai Tuo, ordered him to continue to preside over the peace negotiations, and authorized him to cede Jinzhou to the future. South land, and repeatedly told this is the bottom line.When Xiao Zhonggong saw it, he was "moved" and cried. The imperial court thought that he had died in Jinzhou and was nothing more than Prime Minister Zuo. Now that he returned to Beijing, there was no suitable placement for him, so he rewarded himself with this thankless job.

But when Xiao Zhonggong mentioned the prospect of the negotiation, he shed tears.The DPRK and China first let themselves go to Pingzhou to negotiate, and proposed to the Southern Dynasty to demarcate the Liuzhou River. As a result, Xizhou was quickly conquered.When the imperial court agreed, Jinzhou was conquered in an instant.Now that the Song army is approaching the city of Liaoyang, they have agreed to cede Jinzhou again. Do they have to wait for the Song army to take Liaoyang down, and then agree to cede Liaoyang when they arrive in Shenzhou?He even suspected that he was a dead star, where did he go, where did he lose it?

Sure enough, as Xiao Zhonggong expected, when he entered the camp of the Song army for the third time, he was received by Ma Kuo, the Minister of Rites of the Southern Dynasty.When he said that the imperial court had agreed to cede the land south of Jinzhou, Ma Kuo shook his head like a rattle, saying that the first condition for the peace negotiation now is to cede the land south of Liaoyang Mansion, otherwise there will be no discussion.Xiao Zhonggong could only lobby again, hoping to meet Zhao Er and report in person, but he was rejected again and again, and the bulletins he sent back to the capital were also rejected one by one.

A few days later, Xiao Zhonggong, who had nothing to do, suddenly received an invitation from the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to watch a good show together, but when he was led to the imperial tent, he found that the city of Liaoyang Mansion could be seen from here... ( To be continued..)
