"When we serve as soldiers, we don't have enough food to eat. It's damn moldy! They feed us like pigs!"

"If I don't sleep well and eat well, I won't fight any more. I want to go home!"

"We are the soldiers no mother wants. Look at the Imperial Guards. They have lost the battle and still have food to eat!"

"Aren't there still fishes on the street? Let's catch them and eat them!"

Yan Xi knew that a mutiny would inevitably occur if this situation continued, but he had no choice but to do so.

.

After a few days, the heavy rain slowly stopped and the sun finally came out.

The top of Hukou Mountain.

Long Chen came out of the cave and suddenly felt that the sun was not bad.

The heavy rain lasted for a long time, and it was very uncomfortable to hide in a wet cave.

"Compared to here, Shengxue Peak is much more comfortable."

Long Chen smiled.

Gongsun Linglong scratched his arm and said: "There are too many mosquitoes here, they will bite me to death."

Gan Zhen looked at the sun and said, "Sir, the rain has stopped and Linhu City can take a breather. Should we strike while the iron is hot?"

Long Chen nodded and said: "The rain has stopped, it's time for us to start. Let's blow up the trees at the entrance of the lake first."

>

Gan Zhen immediately took people down.

Gongsun Linglong asked curiously: "Explode? Why did you want to blow up the mouth of the lake?"

Once the mouth of the lake explodes and the water level drops, the water in Linhu City will also recede. She doesn't understand why this is done.

Long Chen said: "You still want to squat here?"

Gongsun Linglong shook her head. She didn't want to be bitten by mosquitoes again.

Long Chen smiled and said: "If you don't want to be bitten by mosquitoes, then blow up the mouth of the lake and we can leave."

Gongsun Linglong knew that Long Chen had his own considerations, so he didn't ask any questions and immediately packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Gan Zhen led his men to light the incense in a jar filled with explosives, and then added heavy objects to seal it.

The fishing boat rowed upstream, and Gan Zhen put the jar down.

The jar has a heavy object and slowly sinks into the water, then floats with the current towards the mouth of the lake.

More than a hundred jars floated past at the same time and were stopped by a big tree.

The incense burned out, the gunpowder detonated, and there were muffled sounds under the water. Some of the dead branches and trees were shattered, and began to break and deform under the squeeze of the water pressure.

Finally, the giant tree was broken, and the water flowed down, making a huge roar.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Long Chen looked at the rushing water at the mouth of the lake and said, "It's time to go back!"

.

Linhu City.

There was still deep water in the city. Some soldiers were riding on the walls that had not collapsed, some were lying on trees, and some were on rooftops.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, all in strange shapes and poses.

But without exception, they were all sick.

After soaking in the water for so long, I either suffered from freezing or had diarrhea, and there were already many floating corpses floating in the water.

Li Chengdao wore armor and walked through the water in the city. His face had no expression, neither happiness nor displeasure, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Walking up to the west gate, the city was already filled with soldiers.

Not only the west gate, but also the other three city walls were crowded with people. Most of them wore only a pair of pants to bask in the sun, or even nothing at all.

When they saw Li Chengdao coming, the soldiers didn't care and just lay there.

After being here for so long, everyone feels like they are going to die. Who cares whether you are the emperor or not?

Li Chengdao ignored him and stood at the top of the city, looking at the lake and frowning slightly.

"Who retreated?"

Li Chengdao said softly.

In the handsome manor, Feng Erniang had already noticed that the water had begun to recede.

The reason is simple: the drainage ditches in the city have started to drain again.

"Master, I would like to ask you to investigate again."

Feng Erniang wanted to find out whether the lake entrance had been washed away.

Guitai nodded slightly and said: "No, you are not going, let your subordinates go, go immediately!"

Guitai was worried that Feng Erniang would be killed, so he asked her to send someone else.
