Chapter 72 The First Defeat
The King of Longevity soon launched an attack, and they attacked Jincheng from Mengcheng. Mengcheng is relatively high and the end of the Da Liguo Canal. They decided to attack with water, as long as the embankment is destroyed...
"Increase troops and draw water from the canal. I'm going to drown them all in the city." The Longevity King laughed.
"King of Longevity, this must be done. There are still 20,000 people in Jincheng. These people are all ours. If they are drowned, we will lose the foundation of the country." The minister nervously sed.
"No thing is fundamental at all. If we don't kick them out now, our calendar country will be finished. However, there are 20,000 people. When the war is over, although the people give birth, there will be more people in a year or two. Longevity King thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The minister had to shut up. They knew that as long as the king of longevity came down, his determination would never change. If they persuade, there is only one consequence, that is death.
Xiao Wen'an observed the terrain and listened to General Yan's opinions, thinking that King Wanshou would not do this, so he waited for their arrival at ease.
The war was imminent. When the army of Da Li began to approach from a few kilometers, Xiao Wen'an received a message and immediately asked them to prepare the prepared bows, arrows, fire, contradictions and swords. Ji Liunian ran to the city gate and looked into the distance.
"They are coming, and we can make a profit." Ji Liunian wears a war robe and is valiant.
Each general immediately issued an order. Suddenly, the sharp arrows fired, the enemy in front fell one after another, and the soldiers in the rear surged up one after another, almost treating their lives as a joke.
Seeing the bloody scene, Ji Liunian resisted his discomfort. Seeing that more than a dozen people were about to approach the city gate, he immediately asked them to smash the prepared big stones and set them on fire with sharp arrows.
Seeing that the armies of Da Li have fallen one after another, Xiao Wen'an has a sense of achievement. Just as he wanted to talk to Ji Liunian, he was stunned to see Ji Liunian. He looked in the direction Ji Liunian pointed and saw a long yellow dragon. It took a long time to realize that it was the water of the canal, and it was about to rush into Jincheng.
"Daw, I didn't expect him to be so vicious that he wanted to drown us alive. Queen, take the bodyguard to hide on the mountain quickly. I'm here, and I'll command. Xiao Wen'an said hoarsely.
"If I don't go, what's the point of leaving? I want to share the difficulties with you. What should I do now? Call General Yan up quickly."
Xiao Wen'an quickly called General Yan up. General Yan was dumbfounded.
"It's all my subordinate's fault. I didn't expect that the beast would even ignore his own people... For today's plan, I can only transfer the people to a safe place. I know the terrain. I'll go. Military division, you command other generals here to kill the enemy and don't let their army in.
Xiao Wen'an had to nod.
In this battle, Da Liguo lost 3,000 troops, Dacheng lost 10,000 troops, all of which were drowned, and half of the people in Jincheng were also drowned. Hearing this, Ji Liunian fell to the ground heavily, and the drunken mother quickly picked her up.
"Miss, don't worry, we will find a way." The drunken mother scolded the ruthlessness of the Longevity King in her heart.
"I'm not worried, I'm distressed. Those are innocent people. Their fathers and sons are fighting in front of them, but they are hurt. What a beast, beast, come to me if you have the guts..." Ji Liunian couldn't wait to cut the longevity king with thousands of knives.
Xiao Wen'an heard the situation and ran in.
"Queen, we have to discuss a solution, otherwise the Golden City will be flooded again, and the people of the army will be drowned, and we will not escape the disaster." Xiao Wen'an frowned tightly.
Ji Liunian cheered up.
"Please invite all the generals to the palace. I'll be there right away."
When they came to the hall, the generals had already discussed there, and everyone's expressions were very sad.
"What can you do? Now the people are all on the mountain, and the water will not recede as soon as tomorrow. Ji Liunian looked at them worriedly.
"Just now, the military division has asked people to send them food, and those who drowned also have an army to deal with the aftermath. We just discussed it. I don't know if we can surround a high wall in a short time to divert the water. A little head of the drunken dream building said.
"General Yan, is this method feasible?"
"If the water is small, it is still effective, but the water in the Dali Canal is long and urgent. If they don't put down the sluice and let the water flush down, we can only resist for a long time. This method is not the best way. Now that time is running out, it is too late to build a wall.
"What do you suggest? In my opinion, Wanshou King will definitely attack again in these two days. If he releases water again, we can only wait to die if we don't resist.
General Yan hesitated for a moment and finally said his idea.
"In fact, I also encountered such a problem during the war between Da Liguo and Dacheng Guo. I wonder if the queen is interested?"
General Yan's words shocked Ji Liunian and Xiao Wen'an.
"Why don't I know? It seems that it is not recorded in the book. Xiao Wen'an couldn't help asking.
"The loss of Dachengguo was too serious, so it is generally not recorded for the sake of face. But people who study military books at my age have generally heard of it. I also heard from my father that I was only in my teens that year. The war took place before the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, and Jincheng originally belonged to Dacheng, just like Lizhou. The emperor of Dali was also a ferocious man. He flooded the army and people of Jincheng with water. The general of Dacheng was also helpless and waited for the court to give up Jincheng, but later the Dali surrendered. The division of Jincheng to the boundary of Dali was voluntarily abandoned by Emperor Dacheng when the Three Kingdoms were established. He asked for this land of Mingdu.
"I know what's behind. Tell me how they did it." Ji Liunian is very anxious.
"Jincheng is like a small basin. We open the wall behind and let the water flow to the back. Then open the gate of the Mingdu canal and flush the water down. In this way, the original water was poured back, and their army and, of course, the people of Mengcheng, were drowned. This method is to repay others in their own way, but in the final analysis, it is the people who suffer the most. It depends on how the queen decide. In those years, more than 30,000 soldiers and more than 20,000 people died in Dacheng Kingdom were almost the same. Both sides were injured. After the water receded, the bones were exhausted.
General Yan's words made Ji Liunian and Xiao Wen'an speechless, and other generals did not dare to speak. After a while, Ji Liunian asked them to go back, and she would convey the instructions immediately. Only Ji Liunian and Xiao Wen'an are left in the hall.
"I think it's better to think of another way. This method is too cruel. No wonder it is not recorded in history books. I think the biggest reason is that I'm afraid that the descendants will follow suit. It's too cruel." Xiao Wen'an looked at Ji Liunian. If she really followed suit, he could only obey.
"I know I can't do this. Dad is looking at me in the sky. I can't do such a unscrupulous thing. I have experienced the feeling of the death of my wife and children, which is very bitter, so I will no longer let others experience this taste. Let's give up Jincheng. Maybe we won't win this war, but I think it's worth it to make more people in Jincheng happy. They will miss us." Ji Liunian's voice was calm.
"You said well, the longevity king can be worse than animals, but we can't. Since Jincheng is a hot potato, we'd better give up. I'll discuss with General Yan later to see if I can bypass Mingdu and attack Liaocheng. The terrain of the city is relatively high, and it will never be threatened by big water again.
Ji Liunian nodded and smiled heartfelt smile.
When King Wanshou learned that Jindu had drowned more than 10,000 soldiers, he was happy and held a banquet that night to reward the general. But the generals were not in the mood to eat and drink. They knew that the people in Jincheng were also killed and injured.
"You let go of your stomach and beat me hard in a few days. If you kick that woman out, I will add an official title to each of you, haha.
The generals hated the invincible face of the King of Longevity, but they dared not say anything.
"King of Longevity, what should we do next?" The anger in the black armored general's heart was soaring, but the king of longevity did not know it at all.
"Drow, drown them. That's what the people are. It's better to drown the city. Didn't they go up the mountain? Then we will open the gate for a long time and drown all the people on the mountain..."
