"The enemy wants to flood the city with water."

Gao Jong stood on the city wall and saw a ravine outside the city overnight, he knew that the defenders who attacked the city were going to flood the city with Zhangshui.

As a normal city, the location of Ye City is not bad. However, near Zhangshui, it is quite deadly during the flood season.

Chutian already had the experience of submerging Shouchun City with Fei Water, so he would use Zhang Water to submerge Ye City, and he was familiar with the road.

There was no shortage of foreigners who were good at mathematics and engineering in the Chutian army, and there were a large number of people. Therefore, they dug deep trenches overnight, and during the day, Xiangyong was still digging.

The water attack would deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Yecheng defenders.

"General Han, you have a fairly elite cavalry in your hand. You can send two cavalry out of the city to feign attack, and then lead the cavalry in person and concentrate the main force to attack one of the trenches."

After all, Gao Jiong was capable of both literature and martial arts. Facing Chutian's upcoming water attack, he did not sit still and attacked actively.

Zhao Long left the general of the cavalry department, Han Zhanhu, to guard Yecheng in order to actively defend the city. At this time, Han Zhanhu came in handy.

Under the command of Gao Jiong, the two city gates opened, and cavalrymen with horned bows rushed out from the city gates.

Xiang Yong and the soldiers who were digging trenches couldn't help being shocked.

"As Zhao Long's trusted Minister of the Interior, Gao Jiong is one level higher than the trial match."

Chu Tian rode a war horse and watched the cavalry outside Yecheng attacking the trenches.

Using the cover at night, he quickly opened a ditch to surround Ye City.

According to Chutian's vision, it must be at least two feet deep and two feet wide in order to completely surround the Yecheng defenders.

Fang Xuanling said, "Liang Hongyu has already led the bowmen to ambush, and at the same time there is the Shesheng Battalion led by Taishi Ci."

"For the trenches that were attacked, Xiangyong immediately retreated. As for trenches that were not attacked, they continued to dig trenches."

Chu Tian was indifferent to Gao Jong's attack.

Dig trenches while fighting.

The cavalry of Yecheng was divided into two groups.

They attacked the trenches and used the cavalry's mobility to throw a rain of arrows at the villagers who were digging the trenches. Many villagers and soldiers were shot dead.

Xiang Yong, carrying a shovel, shovel and cart, hurriedly climbed out of the ditch and fled in a panic. The excavated soil was piled up beside the trench. It was difficult for the cavalry to cross the trench one zhang wide.

Gao Jiong and Shen Pei watched nervously on the city wall as the cavalry drove out Xiang Yong who was digging the trench.

After all, there is no escaping the catastrophe, so Gao Jiong has to actively attack.

Those who are really good at defending the city will not block the city gate. On the contrary, the city gates extending in all directions are sharp weapons used to attack the siege party. The defenders can gather their troops at any gate, and then suddenly leave the city to attack, making the siege party hard to guard against.

The cavalry general Han Jihu assembled more than a thousand elite cavalry at one of the city gates to destroy the trenches.

"Open the city gate! All the soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Han Zhanhu picked up a long spear, slashed the spear, and led more than a thousand cavalry out of the city to attack!

As a fierce general in the early Sui Dynasty, Han Zhanhu was actually a tiger general, but he was always suppressed by Chutian's army, so he never showed much dazzling performance.

This time, Gao Jong entrusted Han Qihu with the task of going out of the city to destroy the ditch, and tried his best to prevent Chutian's army from leading Zhangshui to Yecheng.

The Zhangshui that entered the flood season would be a disaster for the low-lying Yecheng.

Han Chuhu did not directly attack the most dangerous Beicheng Gate, but went out to the Dongcheng Gate to attack the soldiers and Xiang Yong who were digging trenches outside the Dongcheng Gate!

Thousands of horned bows fired in salvo, and the soldiers and Xiang Yong in the ditch of Dongcheng fell one by one.

The rest of the people, led by the little leader, escaped from the trench, turned over the pile of dirt, and ran away.

Han Chuhu shot four arrows in a row, killing four soldiers, including a junior officer who commanded Xiang Yong to dig trenches.

"Push the dirt they dug into the trench!"

Under the instruction of Han Jhanhu, a team of cavalry dismounted and wanted to fill the trenches before the Zhangshui arrived.

Suddenly, a team of Jianyan crossbowmen emerged from behind the pile of dirt, and a crossbow was aimed at the dismounted cavalry.

Obviously, Jianyan crossbowmen ambushed here at night, like hunters, patiently waiting for the soldiers from the city gate to attack the city.

"Back off!"

Han Jhanhu's expression was distorted. The light cavalry was not well equipped. He was shot by a strong crossbow at close range. You can imagine the consequences!

"Fire arrows!"

Liang Hongyu appeared from behind the mound, and thousands of powerful crossbows fired in salvo!

Jianyan crossbowman pulled the trigger of the strong crossbow, and the sharp crossbow arrows shot out, making a sound of breaking through the air, covering the cavalry of Han Jiehu!

Han Zhanhu waved the spear in his hand to resist the dense rain of arrows.

Thousands of strong crossbows were shot at the head, with great power, like a hailstorm, and Han Qihu's heart guard was even hit by a crossbow arrow. Although this heart guard was the most defensive part of Han Jhanhu's armor, it failed to break the armor, but the crossbow arrow knocked out a dent in the heart guard, and the impact made Han Jhanhu's body shake slightly. .

Han Chuhu was able to block the first round of arrow rain with his personal martial arts and excellent equipment, but the light cavalry under his command became the target of arrows, and at least hundreds of people were nailed to death by strong crossbows!

The Jianyan crossbowmen added by Liang Hongyu, even if they didn't have the divine arm bow, were already a high-level arm among the crossbowmen. Basically, as long as they hit the light cavalry, even if the light cavalry did not die, they would basically lose their combat effectiveness due to serious injuries.

The rest of the cavalry followed Han Zhanhu to retreat, and Jianyan crossbowmen in the second row took over from the first row, and fired thousands of crossbow arrows again, killing hundreds of light cavalry.

The armor behind Han Jhanhu was hit by an arrow and almost fell to the ground.

He fled back to the city with his cavalry in embarrassment.

Liang Hongyu frowned slightly when she saw that the speed at which Han Chuhu escaped was astonishing.

She held an infantry crossbow in her hand, and she shot the second crossbow arrow that hit Han Chuhu.

Han Jiehu's armor is of extremely high quality, and ordinary crossbow arrows can't kill him.

The damage of the infantry crossbow has little to do with the general's force. Unlike the bow, the lethality of the infantry crossbow is provided by machinery.

"The enemy cavalry attacked from the east gate. This time, Ziyuan guessed it."

Chutian heard that there was a battle in Dongcheng, and Liang Hongyu, who had been in ambush for a long time, defeated the enemy cavalry and beheaded 200 people, so people commended Liang Hongyu.

Not long ago, several of his advisors made a bet on which direction the main enemy cavalry would go out of the city to destroy the trenches. Fang Xuanling, Xun You, Cao Gu, and Xu You each chose a direction, and Xu You said it right.

In fact, this is just a simple fun between men, and the result has nothing to do with the intelligence of the counselor...

However, after Xu Youmeng was middle-aged, he was quite content.

Fang Xuanling and Xun You are both relatively low-key advisors, Fang Xuanling will only act in secret to improve his status in Chutian forces, such as supporting Xia Xia Liang to become Chutian's main office, and obtain political rewards.

Xun You, on the other hand, has a low-key personality, concentrates on being a strategist, and is not very pushy.

Cao Gui's character is somewhat straightforward, but not very high-profile.

In contrast, Xu You wanted to be more in the limelight, and Fang Xuanling and Xun You also sold him a face.

Chutian not only ambushed the crossbowmen in the east city, but also ambush the shooting sound camp in the north city, but Liang Hongyu's luck was better, so he achieved the victory.

After repelling Han Chahu, Gao Jiong still did not give up, but kept sending cavalry to attack.

Chutian patrolled and protected with cavalry and crossbowmen. The trench is still expanding.

The Four Tigers of the Northern Army and the Second General Jingbei led Xiangyong to dig the riverbed on the edge of Zhangshui River, leading to Yecheng.

This big project alerted Liu Bei, who was stationed in Handan, and Liu Bei once again sent Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to attack the garrison in Zhangshui.

The White Pao Corps fought hard, and Chutian dispatched the Five Schools of the Northern Army, the Hu Ben Army, the Holy Maiden Army, and the Knight Army to the north, repelling Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and protecting the earth dam.

The battle between the two sides lasted for a long time, and the four tigers of the Northern Army, who were in full swing, personally participated in the excavation of the riverbed, and finally led the villagers to dig through the riverbed.

The last step is to destroy the dam and let the Zhangshui pour into the riverbed and hit Yecheng!

Gao Jong and Shen Pei, as well as the defenders of Ye City, have already felt that the river is coming, the ground is shaking, and the rolling Zhangshui is coming!
