Yinma River is a fairly wide river within Changli County. In normal times, it is also the source of irrigation water for the people in the surrounding area.
However, at this time of year, due to the court's forced conscription and the impact of war, most people have fled to escape famine.
The remaining residents were also relocated by the militia.
It's not the rainy season yet, so the Yinma River doesn't have much water.
After devising the plan, Wang Erxi led the militia members to build a dam near the Yinma River Bridge on the official road to block the water.
On the other side, Gu Shisan also arrived nearby with the members of the Thirteenth Squad.
After inspecting the area around the official road, Gu Shisan ordered his team to blow it up.
After being shattered and soaked in water, the mixture becomes even muddier, further slowing down the grain transport team's progress.
Zhou Tieniu looked at the small bridge over the Yinma River and said, "Old Gu, why don't we blow up this bridge?"
"Blow up this bridge, and the grain convoy won't be able to cross the river anytime soon. Plus, with the army flooded, we'll have multiple layers of protection!"
"Tie Niu, stop fooling around!"
Nie Rongsheng rebuked him and said, "This bridge is the only bridge over the Yinma River in Changli County, and it is also the only way for the local people to travel."
"If you blow it up now, what will happen to the people?"
"Captain Nie, you're limiting yourself!"
Li Wenxuan smiled and said, "Actually, I think Captain Zhou's method is very good!"
It's just a bridge, so let's just blow it up. The effect is excellent!
As for people's travel in the future, there will indeed be many inconveniences.
However, we haven't recovered this area yet, and most of the local people have fled, so the temporary inconvenience doesn't matter.
As for the future, once our Dongning army enters the pass, let alone one bridge, even ten or eight bridges, it doesn't matter, we'll just build them!
"That's true!"
Nie Rongsheng rubbed his head and said, "Old Gu, shall we blow up this bridge?"
"OK!"
Gu Shisan nodded and said, "If you're going to bomb, then blow up all the small bridges over the Yinma River in the vicinity."
Sabotaging major transportation routes was also an important method to cut off the logistics supply of the imperial army!
Not only the Yinma River, but also the bridges over the Dongsha River, Yang River, and Dai River can be blown up!
If we're going to do it, let's do it thoroughly!
"We'll repair it after our Dongning army enters the pass!"
Gu Shisan accepted the idea immediately.
Without further ado, the team members took the explosives and placed them on the bridge piers.
boom!
With a loud crash, the small stone bridge collapsed.
Meanwhile, the militia members building the dike on the Yinma River were also working overtime.
In two days, the dam was successfully built and water storage officially began. Landmines were also laid along the edge of the dam, and everything was ready.
During this time, Wu Junsheng's troops, who had finally arrived at the front line in Luanzhou, met up with the grain transport team and took over the task of protecting the grain transport team.
After resting for half a day in Luanzhou, Wu Junsheng's troops, together with the grain transport team, headed along the official road towards the front line of Yuguan City.
Despite Wu Junsheng sending out a large number of people to scout along both sides of the official road.
However, Wu Junsheng was unaware that danger awaited him ahead.
It's about a hundred miles from Luanzhou to Changli County.
Along the way, Wu Junsheng had anticipated that rioters might try to rob them, so he took extra precautions to protect them. They only encountered a few attacks, but all of them passed without serious incident.
However, just as Wu Junsheng's troops were about to reach Yinma River, several scouts brought back bad news.
"General Wu, the official road ahead has been sabotaged."
The scout spoke up.
"Was it vandalized?"
Wu Junsheng was taken aback, then sneered, saying, "These rioters are really still up to their old tricks! They dare to rob us of tens of thousands of bushels of grain? Do they think that by damaging the official road, they can stop us from moving forward? What a joke!"
Wu Junsheng sneered repeatedly and ordered, "Send some men to repair the road and continue onward!"
At Wu Junsheng's command, the grain transport team continued its journey forward.
They continued moving forward while repairing the road surface.
However, they hadn't gone far when a muffled thunderclap sounded from the distant horizon.
Wu Junsheng looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, somewhat puzzled: "Is it going to rain?"
Rain is no good!
"Run!"
Wu Junsheng quickly gave the instructions.
The group quickened its pace and continued moving forward.
However, not long after, a chill came from afar. Wu Junsheng looked up and saw something moving on the ground to the north.
What happened?
Wu Junsheng was somewhat puzzled.
He rubbed his eyes, took a closer look, and was instantly stunned.
It looks like water, doesn't it?
How is that possible?
Wu Junsheng was somewhat shocked.
However, the surging waters flowing endlessly across the ground in the distance were becoming increasingly clear. The floodwaters, mixed with mud, appeared somewhat turbid and turbulent.
A dull sound also came over.
"Run! Run!"
A roar erupted from the ranks.
However, before the noisy procession was ready, the distant floodwaters swept in, instantly submerging the land.
Some grain carts were also swept away by the flood and overturned on the ground.
Some soldiers even fell into the mud and water, looking rather disheveled.
