Chapter 417 Water Attack

Xiangchang City was originally very strong under the management of Deng Zhong. In the past two years, Yin Ziqi has improved it. Now it is no exaggeration to say that it is impregnable. After the rebel army came to the city, they tried to fight twice, but the result was not only in vain.

Lin Yunfei returned and suffered heavy losses. Lin Yunfei thought that Xiangzhou was now isolated and helpless, and the court did not stipulate how long he had to take it, so he simply encircled it without attacking and slowly thought of a way.

But even so, it is not a problem to remain in such a stalemate, so all the generals are thinking about ways to break the city. When everyone was discussing this day, Tian Chengen came with Wu Donglai and his ancestors and proposed a bold plan.

"Flooded Xiangcheng?" Lin Yunfei and others were quite surprised when they heard this.

"Yes, Teacher Wu and I have seen it in person. To the west of Xiangchang is Xiangshui and to the east is Bihe. The rainy season is coming. Recently, the water levels of these two rivers have surged. If we dig this river

, enough water to flood Xiangcheng, why worry about the enemy not being able to defeat it?" Tian Chengen couldn't help but feel proud when he said this, as if the victory of Xiangchang was already certain.

Lin Yunfei was more cautious in this regard. He looked at the map and then turned to Wu Donglai and asked: "Mr. Wu, do you think this is feasible?"

Wu Donglai is very famous and has a weird temper, so everyone always speaks favorably to him. Even Lin Yunfei, the coach, also calls him Mr. Wu respectfully.

At this time, Wu Donglai sneered: "No, we won't come to you, General. As long as we can give us 10,000 people, we guarantee that it will be completed within ten days!"

Everyone knew that although Wu Donglai had a bad temper, he really did not let go of empty words. He said that the completion of the project would be completed within ten days. For a while, the generals were talking about it. Lin Yunfei also fell into thinking at this time. Ten thousand people expressed their opinions.

It wasn't a problem for him. After all, the most indispensable thing in the army now was people, and he could afford to wait for ten days. However, Lin Yunfei always felt that there was something wrong with this method. When he looked up, Luo Tianbao was the only one with a worried look on his face among the generals.

I couldn't help but ask: 'Tianbao, what do you think of this matter?'

Suddenly the eyes of everyone present were focused on Luo Tianbao. Everyone knew that Lin Yunfei trusted his only son the most. The latter could almost decide the strategy of conquering the rebels. For a while, everyone was waiting for his opinion.

Luo Tianbao has an easy-going personality and usually speaks politely, but this time his attitude is more firm: "Father, handsome, I don't agree with this?"

"Why?" Lin Yunfei asked.

"Fire and water are merciless. Yin Ziqi and the others deserve to die. The people in the city are innocent. The water flooded Xiangchang, and countless people lost their homes and families. Now that we are officers and soldiers after all, we say that we cannot save the people, and we cannot do such immoral things.

"

Lin Yunfei couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. He seemed to think that what his son said was reasonable. Many generals also whispered in agreement. When Tian Chengen saw this, he couldn't help but said: "Young Marshal, it's a good thing that you have a kind heart, but there is no one who can't die in a war."

? Just say that the officers and soldiers have fought so many battles, and they have not harmed innocent people? Everyone present climbed out of the battlefield. Who doesn't understand this? Besides, as long as Yin Ziqi and the others can be killed, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people of Xiangzhou. This

No one will care if you make a small sacrifice."

"Brother Tian, ​​what you are saying is specious. Yes, there is no war without injuring innocent people. I admit this, but intentional and unintentional are two different things. Now we have to do this even though we know that innocent people will be implicated. If now, Brother Tian, ​​you are Xiangchang

People in the city, are you happy that others regard your life as nothing?"

Tian Chengen was stunned by Luo Tianbao's defeat. If it had been anyone else, Tian Chengen's temper would have turned against him. However, Luo Tianbao was a young marshal after all, and he did not dare to offend easily. At that time, he could only suppress his anger and said: "Okay,

Even if what you say, young marshal, is right, now that Xiangchang cannot be attacked for a long time, what can you do to prevent the water from flooding?"

"There will always be a way. Anyway, no one is urging us now. We can just come up with ideas slowly. Why do we have to use this method?"

Lin Yunfei first came to face his son, and secondly he felt that the current situation of flooding with water was indeed a bit excessive, and immediately said: "What Tianbao said is not unreasonable. Anyway, there is no rush to attack Xiangchang. In these few days, we will leave the water attack recipe for the time being."

Well, let’s see again in the future.”

When Tian Chengen and others heard Lin Yunfei's decision, he didn't have much to say, so the matter was shelved. Later, Zhang Xiaoquan visited Luo Tianbao's camp and couldn't help but said: "Brother, you have a kind heart, and this is what a brother should do."

I agree, but kindness does not lead to military success, and sometimes being too kind can lead to disaster."

Luo Tianbao smiled when he heard this: "Brother, I understand what you are saying. I have been leading troops for more than a day or two, but I feel that it is not necessary to do so now. We must try our best to avoid harming innocent people.

?”

"That's right..." Zhang Xiaoquan seemed to have thought of something when he said this. He lowered his head and pondered. Luo Tianbao had been with him for more than just one day, and he could see it at that time.

"Brother, do you have any ideas for attacking the city?"

"Yes, there is, but I can't guarantee whether it will work."

"Then let's talk and listen first."

When Zhang Xiaoquan mentioned his idea, Luo Tianbao couldn't help but frown: "Will this method work?"

"So I don't dare to make a guarantee."

"Anyway, the city is under siege now. Let's go talk to my father and give it a try."

In this way, the two discussed it again and went to Lin Yunfei to propose.

Besides, inside the city, Yin Ziqi was working that day, and a deputy general ran in hurriedly: "Commander, there have been some unusual movements in the city these past two days."

"Oh, what do you say?" Yin Ziqi heard this and frowned. What he was most worried about right now was the instability of the people in the city.

At that time, the deputy general handed a piece of silk to Yin Ziqi, which was densely written with words. Yin Ziqi took it and frowned. It turned out that this was an announcement written in the tone of the rebel army, which explained the original intention of the rebel army.

I wanted to launch a water attack, but I thought that the people in the city were innocent, so I put this plan on hold for the time being. If the soldiers and people in the city did not want to be implicated, they should cooperate internally and externally to defeat the rebels and attack the city. Otherwise, they would all be destroyed by then, and it would be too late to regret it.

"That's nonsense. This is obviously an attempt to shake people's hearts!" Yin Ziqi saw it and angrily slapped the silk on the table.

The deputy general who came to report the news quickly said: "What the commander said is absolutely true, but we understand that some brothers in the army and the people in the city do not understand. These announcements were sent into the city in large numbers with arrows and kites by the rebellious army, and now they are talked about in the streets.

They are all talking about this, and as far as I know, many people are really thinking about cooperating inside and outside."

"They dare? Send my order. From today on, anyone who finds these announcements must be handed over. Anyone who dares to hide it will be punished once discovered. Anyone who dares to gather a crowd to discuss this matter and shake people's hearts will also be guilty of the same crime once it is verified. They will be confiscated.

Burn all these notices, leaving nothing behind!"

The deputy general couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this: "Commander, is the punishment for asking all questions too harsh?"

"Nonsense, what is the situation now? Severe punishment is not enough to calm people's hearts. Let's do it quickly!"
