Chapter 191: Flooding Daliang! Zhao Feng: The power of heaven and earth, will I be able to possess it in the future?
A conversation at Zhangtai Palace.
No one else knew what Ying Zheng and Wei Liao talked about.
And at this moment.
The capital of Wei State was located thousands of miles away from Xianyang.
In front of the city.
Tens of thousands of Qin troops lined up, and thousands of arrows were fired towards the city of Daliang. Along with the rain of arrows, catapults also bombarded the city crazily.
The murderous intent brought by this formation overwhelmed Daliang City.
Although this action caused some casualties to the Wei army in the city, the impact was not significant.
In the city.
In Wei Wuji's palace.
"Your Majesty."
"The Qin army has started to harass again."
"They still haven't attacked, though."
"After a while, they should retreat after we release the arrows."
A Wei general reported to Wei Wuji.
"All soldiers must not slack off."
"Be on guard against the Qin army at all times." Wei Wuji said.
"promise."
The Wei general who had just reported this immediately retreated.
only.
At this moment, Wei Wuji's brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Your Majesty."
"A month."
"The Qin army attacked but did not attack every day. Although it caused some casualties to our soldiers, it was not enough to affect the battle situation at all."
"What exactly does the Qin army want to do?"
The Wei general standing in front of Wei Wuji was puzzled.
“This is indeed puzzling.”
"Since Zhao Feng took command of the army, he has never said anything about stopping the war. Now that his troops are at the gates of our capital, how can he resist attacking?"
"Is there a trick here?"
"Or is it that Zhao Feng is waiting to join forces with Qin's Hangu Camp?"
"If not, there is no other possibility."
"Under Your Majesty's planning, my capital is already an iron barrel. There is no other way to break it except by force. Could it be that Zhao Feng can think of a method other than forceful attack?"
The Wei generals around Wei Wuji were talking to each other, all of them were surprised why Zhao Feng had not yet ordered an attack.
This was completely different from the nervousness they felt when they thought about the Qin army approaching the city.
During the past month, the Qin army had only harassed and not attacked, which made them relax a lot.
"Okay, all of you, please leave."
"Let me be alone for a while."
Looking at his subordinates who were constantly making noise in front of him, Wei Wuji waved his hand.
"promise."
The generals bowed and retreated.
After they leave.
Wei Wuji walked into the hall and looked at the sand table of his Wei State's territory. His expression was tense and a thoughtful look was visible on his old face.
"What exactly is Zhao Feng going to do?"
"Give up the attack, he won't."
"Since Zhao Feng became a Qin general, he has never given up military merit to other Qin generals. He always goes all out in every attack."
"Now he has reached our capital. This is a great achievement for him. He will not give up this credit."
"He's definitely planning something."
"But what is he planning?"
"Is there any other way to break into Daliang City?"
Wei Wuji stared at the sand table map, his expression tense and revealing sadness.
Even he could not think of what method Zhao Feng would use to attack his capital.
After Wei Wuji dismissed his attendants, he stood alone in front of the sand table and thought.
Time lasts.
On a mountain in Daliang, Wei State.
This is also the highest mountain in Wei capital.
And everywhere around the mountains, there are ready-made rafts and boats.
One thousand five hundred guards were scattered throughout the mountains.
Each of them was wearing black armor, with a sword at his waist and a bow and arrow on his back.
And at the top of the mountain.
Zhao Feng stood with his hands behind his back, wearing armor and a Longquan sword around his waist, looking extremely majestic and domineering.
At this moment, he was looking ahead very calmly, and could vaguely see the Wei capital Daliang.
"Your Majesty."
"I just received news from General Tu Sui."
"The army is ready to obey the orders of the commander-in-chief at any time to break the dike and flood the city." Han Chenyan ran over quickly and reported respectfully.
"Yeah." Zhao Feng nodded.
He waved his hand and said, "Light the signal fire."
"The master has ordered to light the signal smoke." Zhang Ming shouted loudly.
On the side not far away, a pile of wood and materials needed for smoke signals had already been set up.
As Zhao Feng's order came down.
Several guards immediately raised torches and lit the signal fire.
Suddenly.
The fire was raging.
The wolf smoke rushed towards the sky, and the billowing black smoke could be seen from miles away.
As the smoke screen on the top of the mountain was lit.
Not long.
On the nearby mountains, smoke signals started to appear again and gradually spread.
This is the unique way of communicating in this era.
Beacon fire and smoke!
Before the decline of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes were still submissive and there was even an anecdote about King You of Zhou who played tricks on the princes by lighting beacons.
only.
Throughout the ages, there have always been many incompetent and incompetent rulers.
The former King You of Zhou.
The future Qin II.
These kings have been living in good times for too long.
"Water flooded Daliang, and Hongze collapsed."
"Soon."
"This Daliang city is about to become a swamp." Zhao Feng looked far into the direction of Daliang city, but there was no expression on his face.
How many people will die and how many buildings in Wei capital will be collapsed by this flood.
Zhao Feng didn't care about all this.
"Wei is stubborn and unyielding."
"The Lord has already given them a chance."
"Again."
"In order to deal with our army, they even resorted to the strategy of burning the city. This shows that they don't care about their own people. This has nothing to do with our Great Qin." Zhang Ming spoke immediately.
"Wait until Hongze breaks through Daliang City and then attack immediately by boat." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"promise."
The guards replied in unison. ——Wei Du!
Everything is calm and peaceful.
The Qin troops that had been harassing and shooting arrows every day disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, the city is deserted.
It seemed as if the smoke of the battlefield had moved away from the city.
This also made the Wei army, which was the only one defending, somewhat confused.
"It's been a month, why hasn't the Qin army attacked yet?"
"yes."
"Originally, I was planning to attack the next day when the Qin army arrived, but after so much time has passed, it seems like they have no intention of attacking except shooting arrows every day."
"I was ready to kill all these damn Qin people, but they didn't even come. Sigh."
"Perhaps the Qin army was frightened by us."
"Your Majesty, you have asked us to prepare for so long, but it is of no use. I am ready to cut off the heads of the Qin people and make wine jugs out of them."
"Wei Da, you are just a boaster. When the Qin army was about to attack a few days ago, you were so scared that you almost peed your pants."
"Hahaha."
There was laughter all around.
visible.
Over the past month, the Wei army is no longer as tense as it was at the beginning.
At this time.
“Something’s wrong.”
"According to past practice, the Qin army would definitely release arrows at this time."
"Why not today?"
"And there's not even a trace of a Qin soldier in sight?"
A Wei soldier said in a surprised tone.
Hear this.
Many Wei soldiers also had strange expressions on their faces.
"yes."
"In the past, we would have dodged the arrows at this time. Why didn't the Qin army react today?"
"There is something wrong indeed."
"Should we report this situation?"
"Nonsense, I will definitely report it."
"Your Majesty must make the final decision."
"Go and report to the Lord..."
Jun Mansion!
"What did you say?"
"The Qin army didn't attack today? And there wasn't a single Qin army stationed outside the city?"
Upon hearing the news, Wei Wuji frowned, as if he was not expecting it.
"Reply to Your Majesty."
"That's right."
"The Qin army seems to have completely retreated."
"Moreover, no trace of the Qin army was found outside the city. I don't know what the Qin army's purpose is." The Wei general who came to report said with certainty.
Wei Wuji frowned, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"The Qin army stopped harassing and even retreated directly?"
"Why is that?"
"It's been a month, and they haven't attacked us at all. They just harassed us with arrows every day. Now they are retreating directly?"
"What exactly is their purpose?"
Wei Wuji murmured in his heart, he was completely confused at the moment.
At this time! Wei Wuji's eyes fell on the map he had been thinking about for a long time again.
Suddenly.
A light bulb went off in my head.
Wei Wuji rushed to the map, supported himself on it with both hands, his eyes turned red, and his whole body began to tremble.
"My Lord, what's wrong?"
The attendant in the palace asked immediately.
Wei Wuji's sudden appearance was indeed too scary.
"The great river, the great chasm."
"Use the water from the two rivers to overturn my Daliang."
"No... not good..."
Wei Wuji's face turned pale.
After a month.
Looking at the sudden retreat of the Qin army, Wei Wuji seemed to be awakened by lightning. At this moment, he instantly understood what Zhao Feng's intention was.
"My Lord, what happened?"
Hearing the noise, many Wei generals walked over quickly. Looking at Wei Wuji's pale face, they also became a little panicked.
"Quickly...quickly get all the soldiers to the high ground."
“Prepare for flood prevention.”
"Also, break open the back gate, quickly."
"quick……"
Wei Wuji shouted loudly, with an anxious look on his old face that puzzled all the generals around him.
"Sir, what happened?"
The Wei general standing by still did not feel anxious.
"The Qin army is going to dig the water from the Great River and the Honggou to flood our capital." Wei Wuji used up his last bit of strength and roared loudly.
The words fell.
All the Wei generals' faces changed drastically.
If these words were spoken by someone else, they might not be worth believing, but it was Wei Wuji who said them.
There is absolutely no way this could be false.
All the Wei generals' faces turned pale at the same time.
If the water from the two great rivers is drawn, no matter how solidly his capital is built, it will be impossible to defend it. Under the impact of the flood, everything will become a swamp.
But now.
Even if Wei Wuji figured it out, there was no solution.
In the past, in order to guard against the attack of Qin, he repaired the Daliang City like an iron barrel and sealed all the city gates.
This not only makes it difficult for people outside to come in, but also makes it difficult for people inside to go out, as they have to use the hanging basket to travel.
What once defended them from the Qin Dynasty now acted like a prison to them, from which they could not escape.
If their city gates had not been sealed, perhaps many people could have escaped and preserved some strength, but now... it's too late.
"Report."
"Your Majesty."
"Flood...the flood is coming."
"A flood is pouring down on my city of Daliang. It is an endless flood."
A Wei soldier came hurriedly to report, looking terrified.
Hearing this.
Wei Wuji seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed helplessly.
There was despair all over the old face.
“Defeated.”
“We lost.”
"Zhao Feng."
"You have good tactics and schemes."
"My capital city, which has been here for hundreds of years, will be destroyed after today."
"Zhao Feng..."
Wei Wuji's voice was filled with sorrow and unwillingness.
For him, the moment was filled with frustration.
Finished!
It's all over!
His Wei State will perish.
His idea of dragging the Qin army to be buried with him also came to nothing.
The Qin general destroyed the Wei State without bloodshed and at virtually no cost.
now.
Endless floods rushed towards the Wei capital. The place where the Qin army once stood had been swallowed up by the floods and was quickly rushing towards the Daliang city.
The capital chosen by Wei State was in a low-lying area, and the flood seemed to be guided and rushed towards the capital of Wei madly.
Looking down from the city.
The sound of the flood water hitting the city wall seemed to make the entire tower tremble.
“Why is there a flood?”
"Our Great Wei capital has not experienced a flood in decades."
"Why is that?"
"Can our towers stop the flood?"
"Should we retreat?"
"retreat?"
"That would be courting death."
"It says above that no one is allowed to retreat without the order of the Lord General. Anyone who retreats will be killed."
"The supervisory troops behind are watching."
"So what should we do about this?"
"If this tower is washed away by floods, we will be finished..."
The Wei army on the city wall looked at the boiling and surging flood below in horror. They wanted to retreat, but when they thought of the supervising army, they were filled with fear and dared not think too much.
But the flood was getting more and more severe.
The trembling on the city wall became more and more intense.
This also made the Wei army even more panicked.
“The water is rising.”
"Someone has already broken in through the tower."
"I'm afraid the city wall can't hold it."
Time passes.
The trembling on the city wall was even more severe. The Wei army felt extremely uneasy at this moment, fearing that the city wall would collapse if they were not careful.
It was at this time.
Click.
Click.
A series of shaking and cracking sounds were heard.
I saw that the sturdy city wall was cracked by the flood, and more and more water seeped through those cracks, making the cracks in the city wall even worse.
"Run, run quickly."
"The city tower can no longer stop the flood."
“Run away…”
This moment.
The Wei army on the city wall could no longer bear it, roaring loudly and fleeing backwards in a panic.
But they moved almost at the same time, creating a resonance that people of this era could not understand.
Click.
Click.
Boom, boom, boom! There were bursts of cracking sounds and trembling sounds.
The city wall that Wei Wuji had spent a long time reinforcing was like nothing in the face of the raging flood.
It collapsed with a loud bang.
And almost half of the city wall collapsed at the same time.
“Ah…ah…”
"Help...help me."
“I can’t swim.”
"Help……"
"ah……"
Suddenly.
The entire Wei capital city tower was filled with screams and cries for help.
It is unknown how many Wei soldiers were buried in the water by the collapsed city walls and lost their lives.
There were still many Wei soldiers struggling frantically in the water.
The entire Wei capital was in a state of tragedy.
But all this did not cause much waves.
As the city wall collapsed.
Endless floods rushed in, and countless Wei soldiers were swept away wherever the floods passed. In the face of the power from nature, human power seemed so insignificant at this moment.
The flood seemed to swallow up everything.
Countless houses collapsed in an instant, and countless people in the city were washed away by the flood, and some were directly crushed to death by the collapsed houses.
The hundreds of thousands of troops in the city had no power to resist the flood.
Those who were luckier could hold on to a piece of wood and float, but the flood came and drowned countless people.
Flood, swallowing everything.
Water and fire are merciless, perhaps this is the best way to say it.
The city built by Wei Wuji was like a big urn at this moment, leaving everyone in the city with no way to retreat or escape.
perhaps.
The flood will only recede after it has completely spread into the city and destroyed the rear city tower of the Wei capital Daliang.
Time flies! An hour has passed.
Two hours passed.
Until the day passed and the night passed.
The next day the sky began to brighten.
The entire Wei capital has been completely submerged by the flood. The century-old Wei capital has been completely destroyed.
Wherever the flood passed, there were only broken walls and collapsed houses. Countless wood, countless rubble, countless beams, and countless corpses whose lives were devoured by the flood floated in the city.
Looking at the water level in the city, it seems that it will take some time for the water to recede.
But all the defenses Wei Wuji had carefully arranged were in vain because of the flood.
And at this moment.
In front of the Wei capital.
That was above the madly rushing river.
Countless rafts and boats came towards the Wei capital.
Standing on these rafts and boats were Qin soldiers holding bows and arrows and weapons.
"The century-old capital of Wei has now become a ruin."
"The general's strategy saved my Wu'an camp from losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
Looking at the vast Wei capital, many Qin soldiers on rafts and boats were also shocked to the extreme.
For them.
I was completely shocked at this moment.
Although they were the ones who broke the river's banks, the scene before them was truly too horrifying.
And in the center of the many rafts and boats, there was a slightly larger boat.
Zhao Feng looked at it calmly.
"Enter the city."
Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"The general has given orders."
"Enter the city." Zhang Ming shouted immediately.
All the rafts and boats headed towards Wei City and floated downstream.
Standing on the boat.
The collapsed city wall was vaguely visible, as were corpses scattered everywhere, and struggling Wei soldiers.
“Save us.”
“We surrender.”
“Save us.”
"General, we surrender..."
When they saw the Qin army's rafts and boats approaching, the surviving Wei people shouted loudly as if they saw hope.
Zhao Feng took a look.
"Those who surrender, save them."
"Those who refuse to surrender will be given a quick death." Zhao Feng said, and it became an order.
The sharp soldiers under his command quickly carried out the order.
Zhao Feng's eyes were looking at the Wei capital.
The day before yesterday, the Wei capital was still stable, but after the flood, everything was gone.
One month ago.
Wei Wuji still has great ambitions.
Now I'm afraid it's completely lonely.
Zhao Feng's ship entered the city without any hindrance.
"The power of heaven and earth is truly irresistible."
"I wonder what level my attributes must reach to achieve this. In the future, will I be able to achieve this?"
“Maybe only gods can mobilize such a huge flood?”
Looking at the flood that he had ordered flooding the city, Zhao Feng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Happy? Maybe.
After all, the Wei capital was captured without bloodshed.
But looking at these countless floating corpses, it would be false to say that I did not touch them.
But, this is war!
