259 Breaking the Embankment(1/2)

For a period of time, the imperial army and Longwang Village were still in a stalemate.

However, the imperial officers and soldiers slowed down their offensive, narrowed their front line, and retreated for a distance to station, no longer approaching the front line of Longwangzhai Pass, as if they were trying to stay in a position, as if they were planning to concentrate on guarding against Chen Feng's continuous harassment.

In the camp, Ling Fengzi listened to the military discussion as usual every day, and Ma Zhen only said that he would not move his troops and did not explain the reason.

But the officers attending the meeting discovered something unusual. Huang Ping, who was also a senior general, disappeared for many days

When someone asked about this, Ma Zhen said that Huang Ping received a military order and led his troops to receive a batch of important materials allocated by the imperial court to prevent being intercepted by the bandits, etc.

Everyone believed it and did not ask questions. Ling Fengzi was only faithfully recorded the information and quietly passed it to Longwangzhai, but did not take the initiative to find out the truth.

This is actually a false information, which Ma Zhen used to deal with the excuse of the public, just to conceal Huang Ping's movements.

In fact, at this time, Huang Ping received his order and had already quietly left with his troops, heading to the upper estuary of Huyang, and began to implement the plan of breaking the dike.

This task is of great importance and cannot be misunderstood. In order to hide his actions, Huang Ping did not lead a large number of troops to operate.

Due to the implementation of the five strategies to break the thief, the official army concentrated on controlling many civilians scattered in the countryside, resulting in the reduction of eyeliners scattered in the wild in Longwang Village, which brought considerable convenience to Huang Ping's secret actions.

In order to prevent the leak of news, the soldiers in Huangping's corps did not know the details of the mission and thought they were going to move back to the battle.

The team of men and horses marched carefully all the way, and it took some time before finally reaching their destination.

Huyang, Dingbokou.

This is a river embankment that has been built for many years and can be traced back to the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Huyang has many rivers, the largest main river is called Shahe. It runs from west to east and runs through the Central Plains. Dingbokou is located on the bank of Shahe River and is always controlled by the government and is occasionally repaired.

However, Shahe River has been flooding all year round, and the flood control effect of Dingbokou has been somewhat unable to keep up, so Huyang has suffered floods in recent years.

However, even so, this place is still an important embankment. Although it cannot prevent floods, it can at least be controlled to a certain extent and will not completely explode.

Huang Ping arrived with his troops, asking the soldiers to stand by for a while, while he looked at the surging rivers with his eyes flashing.

The deputy general beside him asked carefully: "General, what are we doing here?"

"The general has an order to open the Dingbokou River embankment and flood the bandits."

Huang Ping's tone was indifferent and he couldn't hear the feelings.

The deputy general was stunned, and then his face changed slightly: "This is true? If the Shahe River breaks and floods, the people of Huyang will...

Before he could finish his words, Huang Ping turned his head to look at him, his eyes cold.

The deputy general was watched by him, his voice gradually lowered, and finally he kept silent.

Seeing this, Huang Ping then withdrew his gaze, his tone was unquestionable, and he said coldly:

"Transfer our military orders and spread the dike!"

The deputy general had no choice but to quickly pass the order.

It was not until this time that the troops on this trip realized the goal of the trip, and the officers and soldiers were in an uproar and unbelievable.

The top is so cruel?!

Such a sinister and destruction of the slaughter of the sons was immediately opposed by many soldiers.

However, disobeying military orders is a taboo and will be dealt with by military law. The officers and soldiers dare not disobey, so they have no choice but to do so and start digging the embankment.

But not long after, a few villagers suddenly appeared nearby, hurried over and shouted anxiously:

"Generals, this river bank cannot be dug!"

The officers and soldiers who were working heard the sound, turned their heads one after another, and looked over in surprise.

These villagers who suddenly appeared were all wearing ragged clothes, dark skin and calluses on their hands. They looked like farmers who worked all year round.

The guards patrolling around immediately stepped forward to control the anxious villagers.

Huang Ping narrowed his eyes, allowing people to bring them to his eyes.

When brought to the military tent, these farmers were uneasy and performed an inappropriate manner.

"Who is coming? Sign up..."

Huang Ping opened his mouth to interrogate.

Soon, he figured out the origins of these people.

It turned out that there was a small settlement of more than 20 families nearby, and the location was relatively remote and hidden.

These farmers are from the village. They happened to run into this team of officers and soldiers when they went out and didn't plan to show up.

But seeing the officers and soldiers breaking the dike, the few people couldn't sit still, they didn't care about the others, and wanted to run out to dissuade them.

"This general, this Dingbo entrance cannot be dug. If it collapses here, there will definitely be floods!"

"Yes, if you break the verge here, you will suffer a thousand miles of this radius!"

Several farmers were nervous and tried their best to persuade them.

Huang Ping refused to comment and asked his personal soldiers to take the farmer down.

Then, he spoke lightly towards the deputy general:

"Let these mud legs lead the way, send hundreds of soldiers and horses to follow, treat all the villagers as coolies, and help us dig the river embankment... In addition, our actions need to be kept confidential, and we must not leave any survivors and leak news. We will all be executed after the matter is completed."

"...I will obey the order."

The deputy general was silent for two seconds before he spoke up to receive the military order.

He strode out of the military tent, and anger appeared on his face, but in the end he turned into helplessness and ordered the troops.

Without much effort, the officers and soldiers captured the civilians from nearby villages and drove them into coolies.

To save lives, these villagers can only do it

As the river embankment was dismantled step by step, the water gradually increased, and the roaring river water quickly broke the dam.

At this point, manpower is no longer needed. When millions of rivers pour out, the breach will continue to expand and develop to the end. If you want to block it, you can only use your life to fill it.

Only then did Huang Ping ask the troops to stop their work, kill all the captured civilians, and throw the bodies into the river.

The body of the dead body is floating in the river, and flows down the river.

Huang Ping did not take a look at him, and immediately led his troops to take him away quickly, and finally retreated.

Only the angry river water rushes endlessly, breaking through the river embankment, and the more it leaks, the more it flows, the farther it flows,

Somewhere in Huyang, in the forest.

Zhou Jing and a thousand soldiers were resting here, with only about a thousand people.

He has not been in charge of the village for these days, and has personally led his troops to use the bandits' fighting style outside, harassing the officials and soldiers to death.

Because he mainly relied on his own force to attack the enemy, he did not bring too many troops, but just made a necessary response, so that he could be flexible only if he had few people.

During this period, many attacks were launched, and the results of the battle were abundant, and many officers and soldiers were destroyed, and a large number of officers and soldiers could not hide.

"If you continue to put pressure like this, the imperial army will not be able to withstand it. The current situation is beneficial to us. I wonder how long the enemy can hold on... Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers are now looking helpless. Could it be that they really want to give up the conquest?"

Zhou Jing bit the jerky meat while thinking secretly.

At this moment, the minion who was venting the air suddenly ran in.

"Report! The village leader, two villagers came to ask for a meeting and said they were eager to report!"

“Bring it here.”

Zhou Jing came to his senses, but was not surprised.

During this period, he ran around the Huyang area and did not hide his tracks. Although he had no place to settle down, there were villagers who were not controlled by the government who could accidentally bump into him and come to ask for a meeting.

Soon, two dusty villagers were brought in.

Seeing Zhou Jing sitting on the Malaysian Golden Knife, the two of them immediately turned over and bowed with an anxious tone;

"Zhouzhu Chen, something big is wrong, and the flood broke out again!"

Zhou Jing heard this and said, "Flood disaster? It shouldn't be the flood season?"

"It's true that our village is flooded!"

The two villagers were convinced and anxious

"Is it possible that something happened upstream? Which river bank has been disrepaired and has a breach?"

Zhou Jing frowned.

Is this an accident or a man-made one?

Could it be that the officers and soldiers have to use water to attack the Seventh Army? But at present, both sides do not seem to have launched any stalemate battle in the upper reaches.

Moreover, there was no military mobilization information from Bill.

The first example was that he did not think in another direction... As the orthodox government of the world, he was so "decisive" that he gave up his territory under his jurisdiction and directly flooded the entire area, broke the can and broke the lower limit again.

Although it is also very insidious to drive the people to attack, the official army has a name, which drives "accomplices to engage in the enemy and pursue rebellion.

civil".

The digging of dikes and flooding the lake sun is meaningless. Regardless of the survival of the people here, they are definitely lacking in great virtues and have no anus for giving birth to children.
