Chapter 86 The Plan of Flooding
tick tick tick tick tick.
The storm seems to be like an energetic child, and he doesn't want to leave as soon as he has fun. The heavy rain fell for five or six consecutive days, causing the water level of the river city to rise by several feet. When some short soldiers go out to the street outside, they have to roll up their trousers, and the accumulated water can almost seep into their knees.
The heavy rain was too crazy. Xu Huang and Gao Shun led his soldiers to brave the heavy rain. It took three days to clean up the battlefield outside the city and count the results.
In the battle of defending the city six days ago, the Qianghu people attacked arrogantly and did not hesitate to sacrifice. The number of people killed in the battle is very large. The defenders of the Han army annihilated a total of 3,000 Qianghu iron riders, 2,000 gold knife warriors, 3,000 Qianghu knives and axes, and killed a total of 8,000 enemies. However, the defenders of the Han army effectively prevented Qianghu's fierce attack and greatly reduced casualties because of Xu Huang's proper command.
In addition to the fact that hundreds of knife and axes were able to successfully enter Linhe City through the ladder and contact with the Han army, the Han army suffered fewer than dozens of casualties. The rest have no positive contact. This can be said to be a miraculous victory. Gao Shun helped count the results. When the results came out, he couldn't help taking a breath and looking at Xu Huang's eyes, which was full of incredible.
But Wen Han, who was listening, smiled flatly. As a time traveler and familiar with history, of course, he knew Xu Huang's ability. Moreover, this Qianghu man is not good at strategy and only knows how to attack head-on. For Xu Huang, a general who is proficient in the field of defending the city, it is strange that he can't get such results.
Because the crazy heavy rain has never stopped, the Qianghu people have not moved for five or six days. Wen Han once ordered several scouts to ride horses to watch the Qianghu people's base camp in the wind and rain. Hearing that he came back, the Qianghu people had not yet withdrawn their troops, as if they were determined to fight to the death with the Han army near the river.
Wen Han shook his head and secretly said that the leading general Ke Ba Wuyan was out of his mind. If ordinary generals see the continuous heavy rain and think of camping in the mountains, they are afraid of the danger of the heavy rain in the mountains, most of them will choose to withdraw their troops. Otherwise, once there is a landslide, it will cover the end of the whole army.
Wen Han also thought about leading the troops to the top of the mountain, artificially causing landslides and burying the earth. However, the rain was too heavy, and the wind was even more fierce. Wen Han led the soldiers to the mountainside, and several thin soldiers were lifted, and from time to time some trees that were broken by flash thunder rolled over. What was more terrible was that his party encountered landslides. Fortunately, he escaped fast enough to cause most of the casualties.
The movement on the mountain attracted the attention of the Qianghu people. The Qianghu people seemed to have guessed Wen Han's idea and withdrew the camp half a miles away to the hillside of Yiping. It is safer here. If there is really a landslide, the Qianghu people will have enough time to escape, so that the whole army will not be destroyed.
Seeing this, Wen Han had to give up and waste this good fighter.
At this time, in the council hall of the governor's mansion in Linhe County.
Gao Shun kept walking back and forth with some anxiety, while Wen Han stared intently at the map on the table, frowning deeply, and seemed to be thinking of a way. Guan Yu and Xu Huang drank tea quietly. Instead of disturbing Wen Han's thoughts, sometimes Gao Shun's pace was too big and made a sound.
At this time, Guan Yu and Xu Huang will remind him not to affect Wen Han with sharp eyes.

Gao Shun accidentally made a noise under his feet again. Guan Yu couldn't help but want to ask him to sit down and stop going. But I heard Gao Shun say it first.
"Oops. You said, why hasn't this Lord Assassin's rescuer arrived yet? Calculate the time, if it usually arrives as early as two days ago! Even because of the heavy rain, it's time to come today!
Why is there no movement outside the city? No, I'd better go out and have a look. I'm afraid that the soldiers guarding the south gate are doting and don't know how to report it.
After saying that, Gao Shun got up to get out of the door. When passing by Wen Han, he was suddenly caught by Wen Han, and Wen Han waved to him.
"There are hundreds of soldiers guarding the south gate, or as you can guess, dozens of them are sleepy and doze off. But it will never be. It's ridiculous that hundreds of people are dozed off. Gao Shunru and I know who will send this rescuer. He is not right with me, and I think General Gao Shun is also clear about it. After waiting for a few days, I probably thought of his intention, so I didn't put much hope in him.
"Wen Sima, you have made a decision. Although Feng Xian is arrogant and can't tolerate others to be better than him, he still understands what kind of blood is flowing in his bones. I will definitely not deliberately slow down and hurt our lives and do this injustice.
Gao Shun's pupils in his eyes dilated in an instant, like a cat that had been stepped on its tail. His fur was straight all over his body, and he was almost retorting Wen Han with a roaring attitude.
"General Gao, I didn't mention my name. How do you know who I'm talking about? Hey. That's all. Just think of me as a mistake. However, you know that if it is Ding Shishi's rescuers, they will really be late. When the heavy rain stops, it will be the day when the river city is broken. Do you understand this?
"Of course, Gao understands, otherwise how could Gao be so anxious?"
"Good. Then we can't sit and wait for death, just wait here for the rescuers to arrive. I have a plan to make this Qianghu people die in this river city.
Wen Han suddenly smiled and said confidently. Gao Shun and Zheng were listening to Guan Yu and Xu Huang while tasting tea. At the same time, their eyes became bright and they looked at Wen Han together.
"Does Wen Sima have a clever plan? Then say it quickly!"
"Hmm. I have been looking at the map of the river for a long time. Look, the river next to the river city is winding, and it is surrounded by the mountain in the north and connects with the south. Around the whole Linhe County, if we intercept the dike and block the water, it will rain heavily for five or six days at this time. The water level is not low. When the water level rises to three feet, it will lead the Qianghu people into the city. Then flood the city. When the flood comes, the Qianghu people will lose a few layers of skin even if they don't die!
At that time, we will wait here again to settle the soldiers and horses. When Dashui rushed these Qianghu people over, he thought that he had lost all his combat effectiveness and let us and other Han soldiers slaughter them.
"Wonderful! Wen Sima is really extraordinary!"
Gao Shun immediately cheered when he heard it. But suddenly he pondered doubtfully.
"But. It's easy to block the water, but it's troublesome to attract the Qianghu people into the city. I don't know what Wen Sima can do?"
Gao Shun looked at Wen Han. Wen Han smiled, but turned to look at Xu Huang and Guan Yu. Xu Huang and Guan Yu were also thinking. Xu Huang suddenly stood up and walked slowly.
"It has been raining heavily for five or six days, and we feel uncomfortable to shelter from the rain in this river city. The Qianghu people only had tents to shelter from the rain, and they must have been patient for a long time. There must be many soldiers in the army who have been infected with the wind and cold and are trying to find a place to shelter from the rain.
If so, it makes sense for us to withdraw our troops in the heavy rain at this time. Qianghu people are now anxious to avoid the rain, and see that we are withdrawing troops. There is at least a 70% chance that they will come to the river, which can be said to be a trap.
Wen Han nodded, clapped his palm, and applauded Xu Huang. Gao Shun and Guan Yu immediately applauded him. Xu Huang was a little embarrassed to scratch the back of his head.
Wen Han is clear in his heart that he is just giving Xu Huang, Guan Yu and others a chance to think about problems. Otherwise, every time they encounter a problem, they will rely on themselves, which will develop their bad habits. If Wen Han's power is strong in the future, Guan Yu and Xu Huang are both generals who want to lead one side, and in many places, they need to think about problems by themselves.
"Good. Unexpectedly, the plan has been decided, so let's arrange it quickly. Be sure to successfully block the dam before the heavy rain stops, and then use the rain to bring in the Qianghu people.
"Yes, we will take the order!"
After Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Gao Shun took the order at the same time, they went out of the county magistrate's mansion together. Wen Han sat down quietly, still looking at the map, tapping the table with his fingers and falling into thought.
Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Gao Shun found nearly 300 people, all of whom wore straw clothes, straw shoes and straw hats, and went up the mountain in the heavy rain to find the location of the dam. The location of the dam is not steep, and it can be reached by walking through two flat slopes.
It's just that the heavy rain and strong wind was really strong. Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Gao Shun also led 300 people for a long time. From time to time, the branches and gravel flew in, which caused many people a lot of minor injuries.
After half an hour, everyone finally came to the promotion. At a glance, the water level was extremely high, at least more than two feet deep, and the water was extremely fast. The sound of hitting the rocks on the shore was horrible. If a person accidentally falls in at this time, it must be a dead end.
After Guan Yu, Xu Huang and Gao Shun discussed for a while, they began to divide the work. Gao Shun led 100 people to put down the sluice, while Guan Yu and Xu Huang led 200 people to pick up some big stones on the shore and built a half-meter-high stone railing to prevent the water level from rising too fast and seeping out.
At this time, on the other side. There is a small village in the southern mountains of Linhe City. There are about four or five hundred households in it. Usually, villagers hunt animals and pick some stone mines in the mountains to sell money to make a living.
A day ago, a large group of Han soldiers came and broke the peace of the village. There are about 20,000 soldiers and horses in this group of Han army, most of whom are gunmen and swordsmen, about 13,000 people, and 7,000 cavalry. The leader is ten feet high, powerful all over, seems to have ten thousand pounds of strength, and his eyes are fierce. As soon as he arrived, he said that there would be a war around him, so he ordered his men to drive the villagers down the mountain and occupy the villagers' houses to shelter from the rain. Later, because there were too many people under his command, he had no choice but to set up a tent to shelter a person from the rain.
This Han army is the rescuer sent by Ding Yuan, and the leader is Lv Bu and Lv Fengxian. At this time, Lv Bu was living in the largest house in the village.
Zhang Liao came to the door of Lv Bu with a cold face and heard a woman's cry and a man's ** laughter from the door. Thinking of the two women that Lv Bu forcibly left among the villagers the day before yesterday, he couldn't help but hold his fists tightly and wanted to kick open the door in front of him and enter the house to scold. But she was afraid. After waiting for a long time, the woman's crying and slowly stopped unconsciously.
