"Your Highness, it looks like the enemy is about to attack us!"
Before Yun Zheng had sat in the tent for long, Chen Luoyan sent someone to report.
"Are you going to attack?"
Yun Zheng hurriedly walked out of the tent and quickly rushed to the front line of defense.
At this moment, Shen Luoyan had already led his troops to be on full alert.
"how's it going?"
Yun Zheng rode his horse to Shen Luoyan's side.
Shen Luoyan handed the Clairvoyance in his hand to Yun Zheng and replied: "The enemy seems to be clearing the traps, it should be a desperate fight!"
Yun Zheng took the Clairvoyance and began to observe.
Outside the pseudo-city in the distance, groups of enemy troops had already walked out of the encirclement of the city walls.
...
...
Although he couldn't see clearly what those people were doing, judging from their posture, they should be clearing the trap.
"Lou Yi seems to be a little crazy."
Miaoyin still shook her head and smiled, "Once they have cleared the traps, we can already release the water."
In fact, they can all break the dam and release the water now.
However, Yun Zheng wanted to wait until the water in Yudai River became deeper before digging the cofferdam.
The enemy is rushing over now, and they can easily start breaking the dam and releasing the water.
Once the flood passes, the enemy soldiers will probably be washed to pieces before they can rush over.
In this case, how could the enemy attack their defensive positions?
"It's really a bit crazy."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "My evaluation is that he is not as good as Jia Yao!"
If it were Jia Yao, she would probably accept his proposal.
Anyway, they can't keep the food and supplies, so isn't it good to be able to take half of the people away?
No matter what, it’s better than being completely wiped out, right?
“That’s it!”
Miaoyin teased, "How can Lou Yi possibly compare to your baby Jiayao?"
“Yes, yes!”
Chen Luoyan also nodded in agreement, with a mischievous smile on her face.
Listening to the two girls teasing Yun Zheng, Shen Kuan almost laughed out loud and quickly turned his head away, fearing that Yun Zheng would see him trying hard to hold back his laughter.
"What I'm saying is that Lou Yi's vision is not as good as Jia Yao's!"
Yun Zheng glanced at the two women speechlessly, then looked up at the sky, and immediately ordered Shen Kuan: "Order Zuo Ren to break the dam and release the water as soon as noon arrives!"
Shen Kuan immediately took the order and left.
"At noon, the enemy shouldn't even be able to clear all the traps, right? Are they going to burst the dam and release the water?"
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng in confusion.
Break the dam and release the water before the enemy even rushes over?
The effect shouldn't be that good, right?
Moreover, if we wait a little longer, the Yudai River will store more water, and the casualties inflicted on the enemy will be even greater, right?
"Don't treat Lou Yi as a fool."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "How could Lou Yi not know that sending people out to stop us from breaching the dam and releasing water is almost the same as sending people to die?"
"Um?"
Shen Luoyan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately asked: "You mean, Lou Yi just sent people to pretend to be here, deliberately paralyzing us, but he is actually doing something secretly?"
“It should be!”
Yun Zheng nodded.
Shen Luoyan tilted his head and asked curiously: "If you were Lou Yi, what would you do in this situation?"
"What else can we do?" Yun Zheng smiled calmly, "Abandon the food and grass and retreat to Turtle Back City. At the same time, send people back to Turtle Back City to mobilize cavalry to support us. If Jia Yao leads his troops to launch a surprise attack, we may still have a chance to defeat Jia Yao!"
"Then do you think Lou Yi will do this?" Miaoyin asked with interest.
"How should I know that?"
Yun Zheng rolled his eyes at Miaoyin, "Do you really think I'm a god who can predict everything?"
Whether Lou Yi will do this depends on too many factors.
On the one hand, it depends on whether Lou Yi has the courage and whether he will worry that the army coming to support will also be defeated by Jia Yao, thus causing greater casualties.
On the other hand, it also depends on how the troops in Turtleback City are deployed and whether they can make it in time.
If Turtleback City could send out 10,000 or 20,000 reinforcements, march day and night, and join forces with the retreating army before Jia Yao led his troops to launch a surprise attack, and choose advantageous terrain to defend, it would not be so easy for Jia Yao to launch a surprise attack.
"I really thought you could figure out everything!"
Miaoyin smiled and said, "Lou Yi must be regretting learning your moves now."
"I think Lou Yi regrets provoking you in the first place!" Shen Luoyan laughed sweetly.
"Let him regret it!"
Yun Zheng smiled calmly, "If it weren't for this bird man looking for trouble, wouldn't it be good for me to soak in the gentle land all day long?"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the two women couldn't help but spit at the same time.
Time passes by little by little.
The enemy is still clearing the traps in front of the city wall.
Soon, it was noon.
Following Yun Zheng's order, Zuo Ren, who had been prepared, immediately ordered his men to dig gaps in the cofferdam.
When the gap was first opened, the water flow was still very small.
But as the water flowed, the gap in the cofferdam continued to widen.
In just a quarter of an hour, the cofferdam collapsed under the impact of the water.
"boom!"
As the cofferdam collapsed completely, the water that had been accumulated for several days rushed down along the ditch they had dug.
Yun Zheng stood on a high place, looking at the rushing water, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
If he were given a few more days and more water accumulated in the river, it might be able to completely wash down the city wall in front of him.
Even if we can't drown these 20,000 soldiers, we can at least trap them to death.
What a pity!
Under the gaze of Yun Zheng and everyone else, the rolling torrent, carrying mud and sand, rushed towards the city wall.
“Run!”
“The water is coming!”
“Run…”
Seeing the approaching flood, the soldiers who were still clearing the traps ran towards the city wall in panic.
At this moment, they only hated their parents for not giving them two more legs.
Tie Xiong, who was leading the main force to evacuate quietly, soon received the news that Yun Zheng had broken the dike and released water.
Upon hearing this news, Tiexiong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
As expected, Yun Zheng did not wait until tomorrow to break the dam and release the water.
After all, I still couldn't wait until the moment of meeting up with the reinforcements.
At this point, the only option is to fight to the death!
Victory is definitely hopeless.
He now has only one belief, to kill as many enemy troops as possible!
Fortunately, Tietu has already left with His Highness!
Even if I die in battle, my descendants will not be extinct!
As soon as he thought of this, Tiexiong immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, follow me and shout: Follow the general's flag! Run to the left hillside!"
Following Tiexiong's order, the soldiers around him began to yell in panic.
"Follow the general's flag and run up the hillside on the left!"
"Follow the general's flag closely..."
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
Soon, the entire retreating army heard Tiexiong's order.
Tiexiong led the guards carrying flags and rushed to the small hill on the left.
Under the guidance of Tiexiong's general flag, the panicked soldiers all ran over there.
However, at this moment everyone was panicked and the entire team was in complete chaos.
"Don't mess around!"
"Follow the general's flag closely, don't panic!"
Tiexiong roared loudly, but the chaos in the army not only did not subside, but continued to spread.
Looking at the soldiers in chaos, Tiexiong felt sad and angry.
He also wants to find Yun Zheng to avenge the destruction of his country!
What’s funny is that he was defeated before he even had a fight with the army led by Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng!
Tiexiong suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Yun Zheng's defensive position.
Although he couldn't see anything, the hatred in his eyes almost burst through his eyes...
