Chapter 722 Flooding Xianyang(2/2)

So Chu and Zhao united to fight against Qin.

But after this battle, Qin State completely declined, and Zhao State became the undisputed strongest overlord in the world. If Chu State was not stupid, it would definitely join forces with Qin State to fight against Zhao State.

"It seems that we must capture Xianyang as soon as possible to end this war." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

This war has been dragging on for a long time. If we count from the time when Qin attacked Wei, it lasted for a full year and a half. Neither Qin nor the three Jin Dynasties were in trouble.

On the contrary, there was no major war in Chu State. Even if it attacked Qi State, it did not make much effort and was always recuperating.

If the State of Zhao is dragged into the quagmire of war by the State of Chu, it is very likely that the victory will turn from a great victory to a tragic victory, and it will become a wedding dress for the State of Chu.

"The city of Xianyang is high and deep, and the people in the city are quite supportive of the Qin State. I'm afraid it's not that easy to fight." Le Yi glanced at Wei Wuji and Bao Yuan and said.

If you want to capture such a big city, you can almost only use your lives to fill it, but no matter which country's soldiers' lives are used, no one is willing to use them, and if the losses are too high, the soldiers will collapse.

"What about water attack?" Tian Dan said.

"Xianyang was built to the north of the Wei River and south of Mount Wei. The terrain is high. Even if it rains heavily, it will be difficult for the city to be flooded." Wei Wuji shook his head.

Capitals in various countries are built next to rivers for the convenience of drawing water, so they face the risk of being attacked by enemies with water, but Xianyang is a little different.

The terrain of Xianyang is high in the north and low in the south, with a large river passing through it. Unless the Wei River overflows, it will be difficult to flood Xianyang.

"What if we divert water from the Jingshui River?" Tian Shan tapped his finger on the armrest of the seat and said calmly.

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

The Wei River cannot flood Xianyang, but there is not only the Wei River but also the Jing River near Xianyang.

The Jingshui River runs northwest to southeast, passes through the northeast of Xianyang, and finally merges into the Wei River. If a river were diverted from the Jingshui River and flowed from north to south, it would be enough to flood Xianyang.

The disadvantage is that Jingshui is a bit far away from Xianyang, and a lot of manpower will be needed, but compared with capturing Xianyang, this difficulty is nothing.

"Without further delay, Mr. Du Ping, please immediately lead people to survey the terrain and take charge of digging the canal." Zhao Kuo said, and there was no room for any kindness at this time.

The people of Qin who have not surrendered are all enemies, and kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

"General Mo, I'll take the people over right now." Tian Dan said, cupping his fists.
