Chapter 179 It must be crazy
"What General Zilong said is that we must not underestimate the enemy. Qunu City must be attacked, but we must not attack it by force. Although we have many soldiers and generals, we cannot consume them at will. The sergeants also have families and parents, so we must not play with it.
Liu Feng said.
"Yes, the general will know." Toulemu and Muletou said.
"It doesn't matter, you are right to be so active. Just think about it more in the future." Liu Feng did not attack them.
"Your Majesty," Sulla cupped his hands and said, "We are approaching the city. If we delay in attacking, it will cost a lot of money. And over at Qunu City, reinforcements and material resources are constantly arriving in the city. One is declining, the other is increasing, and I am afraid it will become more and more serious.
It’s difficult to conquer.”
Su La said it right, why didn't Liu Feng understand? A hundred thousand troops are indeed mighty and majestic, but the soldiers have to eat every day, and the horses have to have fodder, and the daily consumption is not a small amount. Although he is very wealthy now, it has been a long time.
, I can’t stand it either.
Fortunately, Liu Feng was prepared. He ordered:
"Generals, don't be anxious. In fact, I have already thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy before sending troops."
"Ah? Your Majesty, you have thought about it, why didn't you say it earlier, and you still made our brothers think so hard?" Toulemu said.
"Hehehehe, Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, that's what he is like, he loves to show off." The mad Taoist priest sat below and said without any restraint.
"Then I'll give it another try," Liu Feng smiled. "From now on, the soldiers will be divided into three waves, taking turns digging river channels and guiding the river water to the edge of Qunu City."
"Ah?" "What?" "Did I hear correctly?"
In the minds of the soldiers, although Liu Feng did not follow the rules, he was always quite calm. But what does it mean to dig a moat for the enemy?
"Crazy, you must be crazy, right?" the crazy Taoist priest muttered, "I am already crazy, but I didn't expect you to be even crazier than me."
"Don't worry, everyone, I know it well. I will definitely scare you when the time comes, and even more so, Aluonashunna will be shocked." Liu Feng continued to tell the truth.
"Okay, I hope we can successfully capture Qunu City. Otherwise, with the blessing of the moat, this Qunu City will still be impregnable?" Muji said.
"Your Majesty, do you want to divert water to flood Qunv City? But the terrain of Qunv City is high, the city is very strong, and our few soldiers and horses cannot besiege the city, so it doesn't seem to be of much use." Zhao Yun said doubtfully. When Guan Yunchang diverted water,
It flooded Fancheng, but it was only because Fancheng was old and it rained heavily that it succeeded.
Liu Feng smiled and did not answer, and began to issue military orders: "Generals, starting from tomorrow, we will start digging rivers to divert water. Within three days, we will dig a moat for Qunu City. No mistakes!"
The joke was a joke, and the military order was a military order. The soldiers got along with Liu Feng day and night, and knew his temper and temperament. They did not dare to speak to him, so they went down to prepare.
The sergeants went to nearby villages and towns, bought and borrowed, got a lot of farm tools, and started to dig the river. They planned to dig the river first and then start to divert water.
At this time, almost everyone was confused. The Tianzhu army didn't understand, and the defenders of Qunv City and the people didn't understand even more.
"What's going on? Are we going to cultivate wasteland here?"
"Isn't there enough food? That's not right. If we farm now, it will take half a year at the earliest to get a harvest. So we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, the Horse, the Moon, and the Day of the Dog?"
"A war is just a war. Where do all these strange actions come from? It's confusing."
"This general of the Tianzhu Army must be crazy."
Anyway, the Tianzhu Army is still some distance away from the city, and the defenders of Qunv City are not in a hurry. They gather on the top of the city to watch the excitement. Under the city, the soldiers of the Tianzhu Army are sweating like rain, digging trenches and transporting soil, and they are doing an incredible job.
The female city army suddenly felt that they were very happy. They were guarding the city and didn't have to do anything. Is there such an easy battle to fight?
With nothing going on, they provoked the Tianzhu army below the city, "Hey, brothers below the city, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Why don't you come up and have a rest?"
"Hahaha, you are not serving as soldiers, this is farming."
"Are you a peasant army? You fight during the war, and when you have free time, you farm the land and collect grain?"
"But you have to choose a place to store grain, right? Plant the land under our noses, and when it's ripe, we'll help you harvest it?"
Alonashun, who had already reported the incident, reported the Tianzhu Army's actions. He was also confused after hearing about it. So he asked the Prime Minister Guoermu. Guoermu was a smart man, but according to his wisdom, he really wanted to
They don’t understand the purpose of Tianzhu.
"Your Majesty, digging trenches under our city has no other meaning than diverting water to flood the city. But you also know that our city is tall and solid and covers a very large area, so diverting that little water is of no use."
Guoermu was confused.
"If they keep the water under the city for a long time, our city wall may not be so reliable, right?" Aluonashun was still worried.
"It should be fine. If Your Majesty is worried about them diverting water, we will build another section of the wall inside the city wall, so that everything will be foolproof." Although Guoermu felt that it was not necessary, Alonashun was worried.
Still came up with an idea.
"Well, the sergeants are also idle. There is no harm in strengthening the city wall. In any case, it is easier to build a section of the city wall than to dig a big river." Aronashun said.
"Okay, then I will arrange for people to build another inner wall inside the wall tomorrow to make sure it is foolproof," Guoermu said.
So on the second day, the battlefield became even more joyful.
Trenches were being dug outside the city and walls were being built inside the city. The inside and outside of Qunv City had become a huge construction site, with both sides not interfering with each other. When the ditch was dug under the city wall, the Tianzhu sergeant held a shield to prevent arrows from shooting on the city tower, but there were many of them.
Considered.
The soldiers in the city were building the wall, and everyone was doing their own thing, but they didn't interfere with each other, and everything was peaceful.
After working like this for three days, a large ditch was dug from the Ganges River to the bottom of the city, and then along the city wall. The ditch was dug several meters deep. When the Tianzhu soldiers saw it, they felt very uncomfortable.
.
I thought to myself, if this big ditch is used to divert water, isn't this a moat dug for Qunu City? If you want to attack the city, you have to cross the river, and the siege equipment will be useless.
Liu Feng didn't care about that. He patrolled around and saw that the river had almost been dug, so he withdrew his troops and let the soldiers return to their ranks to rest.
Then let a small group of people dig out the connection between the Ganges River and the big ditch. This job is simple, even if you dig such a long ditch, you can still dig this small section.
In less than half an hour, water began to flow along the ditch. Soon, the ditch turned into a river. A long section of the wall of Qunu City was already soaked in water.
The wall inside Qunu City was also completed as scheduled. The city guard sergeant looked at the water under the city and became happy.
"Oh, we have an extra moat!"
"Well, the river has been dug well. Now our city wall is thicker and protected by a moat. Can we go home and sleep?"
Chapter completed!
