Daqin Engineers

Chapter 142

What Shen Bing wanted to say was that if water attacked the beam, the grain in the beam city would also be flooded, or could not be preserved.

Stopped by Yang Duanhe's wink, Shen Bing realized that he couldn't say this.

Even Chu Jun broke the Qin Jun Liang Road and was about to encircle Liang.

Because it is certain that it will affect the morale of the troops.

It was spread out to let the soldiers know, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even attack Wei.

After the meeting, Yang Duanhe also confessed:

"Don't talk about this to others, otherwise military law will deal with it."

Everyone rushed to answer.

Perhaps due to the influence of the Chu army, Yang Duanhe ordered a water attack the next day.

In fact, the water attack is already possible at this time, but Zheng Guo is relatively conservative, and some details need to be measured clearly.

However, there was no time to consider so much at this time. Following Yang Duanhe's order, Zheng Guo and others decided to open the river embankment to release water.

As soon as the estuary opened, the water of the Yellow River went straight to Guangwu Stream like a water dragon.

As the rocks and silt in Guangwujian have been emptied, the river water enters the stream without any obstacle, the water becomes more and more urgent, and then it floods into the Bianhe River like a tide and flows towards Daliang City.

I saw the big gongs in Daliang City "cang-dang-dang". This gong is usually sounded when the Yellow River is flooding to remind people on both sides to evacuate or gather people to fight against the flood.

But it was useless to hit the gong at this time. Even if the anti-waterlogging personnel were gathered, they couldn't leave the city and could only watch from the city.

Wei Wanghua also received the news.

When he was teasing the mastiff at the Mastiff Palace, the guard ran in and shouted:

"My lord, water...water!"

King Wei faked angrily:

"What water?"

"The widow told you that if there is a mastiff, you can't disturb..."

At this time, where the guards would take care of this, he took a breath and then reported:

"Great King, Qin Jun's water attack, there is water everywhere, flood!"

Wei Wang sank his false heart, and realized that the last moment had come.

Wei Wangjia didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly climbed to the top of the city surrounded by a group of mastiffs.

At that moment, the flood under the city became his eternal nightmare.

Without Tian Chou, without the river bed, a few dog barks faintly came from the shadow of the mountain behind the dam, and the boundless silence suddenly oozes suffocating terror.

The noise in the city behind him was silent for some time. Soldiers and people rushed to the top of the city, and the fortresses were densely packed. The People's Congress opened their mouths but no one spoke, and everyone was pale and at a loss.

At that moment, the mastiff was silent.

Wei Wangjia really felt scared for the first time...

This seems a bit weird. Qin's army has been under the city for some time, but Wei Wangjia was scared at this moment.

But this also seems normal.

People born in wealthy homes usually have never experienced danger since they were young and are not afraid of it.

They take it for granted that they don't need to be afraid of anything. The danger is illusory and unreal to them, and someone will help him solve it with just one order.

Over time, this mentality was used by them on any occasion, even on the battlefield.

It wasn't until Da Shui had rushed to the foot of the city that Wei Wangjia suddenly realized that this was real and that it could not be resolved by his strength.

Wei Wangjia didn't say a word, didn't issue a command, and quietly crowded out the crowd with his guards and squeezed out of the city.

Only then did Wei Wangjia think of Wei Wei, and hurriedly asked:

"Where is the general? Where is Wei Wei? Go call him!"

The guards stepped forward to report:

"My lord, General Wei is wounded in bed!"

Wei Wanghua only then remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

After thinking about it, I asked again:

"Where's the corpse? Call him!"

Shicheng slowly stepped forward, Shi Shiran gave a fake bow to the king of Wei and said:

"Great King, Shicheng is here to resign!"

"The king doesn't love people but dogs, and the generals are loyal and have no way. Isn't it Wei Guo's grief?"

"Old ministers are loyal to the way and govern the way, so they can't do the Wei, so I'm talking!"

King Wei was furious:

"Shicheng, you are so bold!"

But I don't want the corpse to be unscrupulous

"Majesty, what can you do if you cut off the Weichen?"

"It doesn't take long. The day the city is broken is when the king is condemned by heaven!"

Wei Wang was furious with anger:

"You, you... pull it down and chop it down!"

The guard was stunned, and was about to step forward but unexpectedly waved his hands at the corpse, laughed and walked down.

What is hateful is that Wei Wangjia thinks that the corpse is right, even if the corpse is chopped down?Can the danger of flooding the beams be resolved and the Qin army retreated?

After thinking about it, Wei Wangjia finally made a correct decision at this time.

He pretended to be calm and said:

"The princes should not worry. The Chu army has sent two armies of land and water to assist, and they will arrive at Daliang soon."

"Qin Jun retreats and widowed people will reward them for their merits and deeds!"

Wei Wangfei was right about this, and Chu State did indeed come to help.

It's just that because the beam has been surrounded by water, the news can't enter the city...

In fact, Xiang Yan was not interested in spreading the news into the city, because the virtues of Wei Wang didn't help much.

However, even this is of no avail, and no one can save the beam.

Shen Bing on the other side looked at the river with a group of craftsmen at the dam.

This Zheng Guo really deserves to be a hydraulic engineer, and every waterline is as accurate as he calculated.

The river rises higher and higher at the dam, and rises higher... and soon it overflows the moat and floods to the foot of the city wall.

The river does not need to flow too high, just a few steps across the city wall.

Even if this mud-rammed city wall is more than ten steps thick, it cannot withstand the erosion and soaking of the water. In a few days, its foundation will collapse and cause a chain reaction.

This is not what Shen Bing is worried about. He just wants to shout at Daliang City:

"The flood is coming, you have to move the grain to a higher place to protect it!"

However, this seems to be a kind of extravagant hope. When this life is precarious, everyone is at a loss what to do. How can they care about food?

Things really looked like Shen Bing thought.

Because the big water flows over the city wall a few steps, the river water seeps into the ground and quickly forms a "fountain effect"...

All the well water overflowed the well head, and the inland river gradually overflowed the embankment and poured into the streets and houses. Then the houses and the accumulated water rose higher and higher, and soon the streets where people used to walk could be boated.

As the houses were mostly built of rammed earth and the walls were relatively thin, the houses had collapsed one after another before the city wall fell. The city of Beams immediately became chaotic, and there were cries of soldiers and civilians everywhere.

Wei Wangjia was able to hold on for a while because he was in the higher city.

But the stagnant water, whether it was a palace or not, slowly filled the house.

It's a sigh that at the end of the road, King Wei ordered his guards to rescue the mastiff in the Mastiff Palace.

In the end, the ministers couldn't hold it any longer, and they knelt down and said:

"My lord, I'll drop it later!"

"My lord, I am afraid that Daliang City is gone without waiting for the Chu army to come."

...

In fact, Wei Wangjia wanted to surrender more than anyone else, but he was worried that he would not be able to save his life after surrendering, so he kept hesitating.

But when things got to this point, he couldn't help but stop.
