How did you, my lord, know the location of Daihai with such a wildly imaginative mind?
He actually wanted to use the water of Daihai Lake to drown the Xiongnu people under Shanwu City.
“That’s right. I just confidently asked the fishmonger, and he said that as long as we dig up a hillside in Daihai, we can make the Qingshui River swell!”
"However, this amount of water is far from enough!"
"I want to dig a gap in Daihai Lake so that the water of Daihai Lake will gush out and rush down."
"While the Xiongnu are still on their march and haven't yet reached Shanwu!"
"Xue Li, Liu Du, you two come with me and go upstream along the Qingshui River. We'll check out the terrain and see how feasible this plan is!"
Liu Wei rubbed his hands together excitedly!
"My lord, if it is truly as you say, then I believe this plan can succeed!"
The Xiongnu army besieged the city and took up residence beneath it.
The Han army, residing in the city, could prevent the floodwaters from flowing in by blocking the four gates.
At that time, the area outside the city will be a vast ocean, and the Xiongnu people will only be able to soak in the water!
Moreover, the crops outside the city had already been harvested by this time.
The people in the nearby villages outside the city, upon hearing that a large Xiongnu army was coming and that a great battle was about to take place, either ran into the city or fled to other places!
"However, to allow enough time to survey the terrain, I suggest we set off now!"
"In addition, I will arrange for a thousand swordsmen and shieldmen and three thousand archers to ambush us on the road from the west, to buy us time to conduct our reconnaissance."
Xue Rengui said.
"Yes, let's not delay, let's set off now!" Liu Wei immediately agreed.
The Great Wall army set fire to the Xiongnu vanguard twenty miles away, annihilating eight thousand of their soldiers.
But this won't stop them for long.
They would only march cautiously and slowly.
It is expected that they will all arrive at the foot of Shanwu City by tomorrow morning.
Xue Rengui sent out archers to ambush and snipe, which would at most delay the enemy by half a day.
The time left for Liu Wei and his team to plan and implement is running out!
