Song Beiyun

"Order!"

"Commander Zhou, you are familiar with water, take some people to the lakeside upstream, wait for the signal, and blow up the lake mouth when you see the signal."

"Order!"

"Commander Xiong, you are good at leading a surprise army to harass and provoke local troops immediately. Remember, don't love to fight, retreat immediately when you are pursued, and lead the enemy to the city."

"Order!"

After everything was arranged, Song Beiyun looked at the map with his hands on his hips: "His grandma's, it took only one night from the siege to the siege."

Sure enough, that sentence was exactly what he said. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. Song Beiyun is actually very nervous now, but he can't panic. If he is trapped in the city, he will still have the strength to fight. Now he can't let himself go.

"Miaoyan, you have to do some work. I need you to take Xiaoyu and the others to appease the emotions of the people in the city. There are more than 20 people in this city. If you don't appease them well, it will be troublesome to have another civil uprising. "

"Okay." Miao Yan nodded: "Leave it to me."

"You can use the supplies as you see them."

After everything was arranged, the outside also began to get busy. The pontoon bridge and the temporary passageway were not withdrawn, and the enemy soldiers were directly drawn to the city.

"That cow, immediately go and lead someone to dig a hole near the front door. The more you dig, the better, and the more different the depth, the better."

"Okay, handsome."

Song Beiyun turned around in the room, and looked back at the witty words who hadn't set off yet: "Is there anything else I haven't prepared for?"

"Probably that's it. We have to wait for the other party to come and see the specific situation."

It is really impossible to take the initiative to flood the city with water. Try to do this as quickly as possible, so as not to be confused when you are unprepared.

And if they could lure the enemy soldiers as close to the city as possible, they would definitely lose a lot when the flood came.Of course, no matter what, it's a trick to kill one thousand and lose eight hundred, but the opponent's 10,000+ people and your own 10,000+ people are not the same concept, even if it is the limit, it can be profitable.

"Let's all move." Although Song Beiyun wasn't confident, his confident posture had to be guaranteed, even if his heartbeat was about to hit the beat of Farewell My Concubine: "Everything is under control."

Chapter 306: On March 19th of the second year, the mountains were sunny and full of azaleas

The gate was open, and there was no one in the tower, and the scene was very strange from a distance.

Chen An'an came here after chasing the small group of troops that disturbed them. He looked at Hengyang City with a serious expression on his face. The defenders of the city were obviously aware of their arrival. The camp outside the city had been cleared, and only one The ground is messy, but now they have no intention of defending the city. There is even a small group of people outside the city wall digging holes...

"Go, clear up the places where the pots are buried for cooking."

Chen Ping'an is a battle-tested general. He was only defeated by His Royal Highness Fu Wang in his life, and won more than a hundred battles, big and small.

He knows very well that he should not be greedy for meritorious deeds on this battlefield. He will never underestimate the opponent's general because of his lack of reputation. You must know that a person who can win Nanchang, Changsha and Hengyang one after another is by no means a bad person.

Now that the enemy puts on such a posture, it is definitely a replica of the empty city plan, but Kong Ming's empty city plan is fake, but who knows whether this person's empty city plan is true or not?

Now they don't know how many soldiers there are in the city, and if they enter rashly, they will be caught off guard. Even if a lion fights a rabbit, they must know how big the rabbit is.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the subordinate came back and said that there were about [-] buried pots and stoves.

There are more than 15 stoves, and roughly 17 people can be counted, no more than 13, no less than [-].

After thinking about it in his heart, Chen An'an was silent for a while, then raised his hand and waved it down.

A team of 10,000+ quickly approached Hengyang City, but the only thing Hengyang City did was to close the gate and throw sand and sacks from the tower to seal the gate.

Seeing this scene, Chen An'an was a little puzzled, but seeing that there were no bed crossbows on the city wall, he ordered his people to approach carefully under the city wall and stopped near the moat.

Looking up, a head was sneakily exposed directly on the city tower, and after a few glances, it shrank back.

"I count three two one."

Song Beiyun gestured to the soldiers squatting behind the wall, and then everyone took out a bag of explosives tied tightly with sackcloth.

And behind them, there is a slingshot-like thing nailed with wood with tendons on top. It looks very simple, but it can be fixed on the ground well with its own weight so that it will not slide. .

Seeing the army below slowly approaching, after Song Beiyun made three countdown calls, everyone fixed the explosive package on the big slingshot, and took out the fire folder with the other hand.

"I'll take another look."

Song Beiyun poked his head out and took another look, but this time it was indeed an arrow that flew past his scalp.

He quickly retracted his head, and said cursingly: "Damn it... use X-ray to shoot early?"

But even though he was so startled, Song Beiyun probably saw their position clearly. The nearest vanguard had arrived at the moat, and they probably kept a relatively safe distance, so they wouldn't be hurt by heavy objects, boiling water, or golden soup. safe distance.

The farthest follow-up soldiers are about 500 meters away, and they are gathering here.

"When they are most densely populated, light this fire wire, and then throw this thing out!" Song Beiyun ordered: "Remember, after lighting the fire, you must throw it out immediately!"

Although it is black powder, its power is far inferior to that of TNT, but the charge of a burden is almost 30 kilograms, and the power of 50 kilograms of black powder should not be underestimated, not to mention that this time it is filled with ingredients and wrapped with broken pieces. Porcelain, pottery and iron slag, after the explosion, the range of damage is very considerable, the effective damage is about [-] to [-] meters, and the fragments can kill unprotected personnel about [-] meters away.

Shock waves within ten meters can effectively deal with heavy infantry wearing infantry armor. In the era of cold weapons, such products are definitely very effective against infantry. Although the effect will not be very good after the enemy reacts and disperses , but the huge sound and light effects can also form an effective deterrent effect on places.

After silently calculating the traveling speed, Song Beiyun probably felt that it was all right, so he quickly beat the drum in front of him three times.

All the soldiers behind the walls began to move. They put all the explosive packages on the big slingshots, and their movements were uniform.

Chen An'an, who was far below the city, heard the three-way drum on the city gate tower, and he was still a little bit guilty. The one with a weapon and three drums is equal to the charge. This is the three drums, and then there is no movement...

But soon, there was a second drumbeat, this time it was still short and hasty two consecutive drumbeats.

After the drum beat at two o'clock, all the soldiers on the top of the city took up the torches and moved in unison.

Song Beiyunmao checked back and forth with his waist down, and after finding that there was no problem, he rubbed in front of the big drum with one slip, and knocked with all his strength for the last time.

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers ejected the dynamite packets with fuses almost at the same time. Counting the parabolic distance, the large slingshot threw these explosive packets to a range of 150 meters to 200 meters.

Before the rebels below could react, the first explosive package exploded. The thunder-like sound, coupled with scattered shrapnel and shock waves, overturned a group of soldiers in an instant.

Next, the explosion of the explosive package was connected into a line, and countless rebels were blown to pieces.

At the same time, after seeing this scene, the commander on standby at the barrier lake at the far end immediately ordered people to ignite the huge medicine bag that had been prepared. three miles away.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound like a stunned thunder from the far end, and violent tremors even occurred in places more than ten miles away.

Chen Ping'an, who was caught off guard by this wave, was urgently ordering the troops to retreat, but before they started to form a queue to escape, they heard a rumbling sound coming from a distance, the movement was like Mongolian cavalry rushing towards the morning sun Coming in general, the momentum is amazing.

Chen An'an raised his head and looked upstream, only to find that there was a fog in front of him. The sudden fog made him a little surprised, but now he couldn't be more scruples, so he could only bite the bullet and mobilize the soldiers to retreat.

But there are tens of thousands of people and wounded soldiers.How can they retreat quickly, and just as they were running back, a brigade of archers suddenly appeared on the city wall and began to pour arrows, which caught Chen's security department by surprise.

But before he could react, the yellow flood in front of him was already roaring and galloping.

The speed of the flood was much faster than the speed of the march, and the 3 forward troops were submerged in the torrent of water in an instant.

At this moment, the morale of Chen An'an's department suddenly dropped to a low ebb, and Chen An'an finally realized the intention of the opponent's chief general. After being shocked, he couldn't help but lament the opponent's cruelty. This operation of flooding the city can often be seen, but this release of water The operation of flooding one's own city is really too rare to see.

At this time, he also realized why the people he saw before dug many pits on the ground. The moment the water flows through the tunnels, there will be a lot of backflow and vortices, even for soldiers who are proficient in water. It is impossible to get up from such a complicated water potential.

Chen Ping'an gritted his teeth and looked at his troops who had lost their helmets and armor, and gave the order to retreat ten miles through gritted teeth.

I still have about 10 people left, but the opponent is already flooding the city, and the opponent is obviously no match for endurance.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an saw the eight-ox crossbow moved out of the city from a distance, and the crossbow was tied with something that would explode before...

After another series of explosions, Chen Ping'an's morale was completely crushed, and a large number of fleeing soldiers began to attack the order of the barracks. Many people didn't even understand what happened, but they were shocked by the torrential flood in front of them and the explosion that would suddenly explode. Things were so frightened that they didn't have any thoughts, and just retreated dully.

But at this moment, the sound of killing suddenly came from the rear of their troops. Chen An'an hurriedly climbed up to take a look, but found that tens of thousands of people were roaring and killing towards this side several miles away.

Unintentional calculations and intentions, the instant contact, the morale of the Chen Security Department, which had already been hit, was almost collapsed, and the ambush soldiers staying outside the city also appeared from all directions at this time, and there were sounds of beating and killing everywhere, making the original The Chen Security Department, which was in a mess, is even more messed up now.

"Reorganize the army! Prepare! Kill the escapees!"

But no matter how loud his voice was, it was no louder than the explosion of explosives in his ears and the rumbling torrent in front of him. Chen An'an's voice was drowned in the noisy battlefield in an instant.

Although Song Beiyun was unable to go out of the city to support at this moment, a large number of explosive packages had already exploded in the middle of the team of the Ministry of Security along with the arrows of the Ba Niu crossbow, and they were scum wherever they went.

As a result, the Chen Security Department, which originally had the upper hand in numbers, was now divided into several sections in chaos, while the ambushes gradually gathered together. It seemed that only the red scarf soldiers were left in the whole world.

Many people were chased to the river by the Red Scarf Army. After a hard fight, they had no choice but to jump to the Xiangjiang River on the north slope, and some people stuck to the high ground, but this height happened to be within the elevation angle projection range of the Eight Bull Crossbow. .

And the red scarf army below seemed to be approaching here, Chen An'an gritted his teeth and glanced at Hengyang City angrily, and with a wave of his hand, he led the rest of the people back to the south in defeat.

Song Beiyun was also standing at the top of the city at the moment, looking at the rolling river outside the city and seeing the battlefield in the distance, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. This first round finally saved the city. If it wasn't for this The city was flooded, so it's really unclear who will die today.

After all, when they realized that the killing range of the black flame was only ten feet, their life would be difficult.

"Go, make a semaphore, let the brothers outside collect the spoils, don't chase, be careful."

Chapter 307, March 3, 21

The floodwaters of the barrier lake ran for two full days, and the entire city of Hengyang was submerged by sewage as high as one person.

Fortunately, food, livestock and other things have been transferred in advance, and there will be no problems with the personnel for the time being, but the epidemic prevention work after the water subsides will be given top priority.

Song Beiyun stood at the top of the city, feeling very panicked, seeing the stinky stagnant water in front of him, all he could think of was seeing Duke Ding and the others come quickly, and when they arrived, he would find a way to run back Enjoying the blessings, the devil wants to eat bran swallowing vegetables with a group of stinky big-headed soldiers in this kind of place.

And I don't know what's going on with the Chen Security Department. Although they were caught off guard, they can be regarded as the elite of the Southwest. Even if they lost tens of thousands of people, their combat effectiveness is still impressive.

But thinking about it now is all nonsense, the city is blocked by floods, no one can get in and no one can get out, so we can only resign ourselves to fate.

This is a package deal. If the flood fails to cause substantial harm to the other party, Song Beiyun's only solution is to be trapped in an isolated city and wait for rescue. Although he is also trapped in an isolated city now, it is better to be besieged by water than besieged by people.

"Gendarmerie! Intensify patrols to prevent looting incidents! Medical teams, start patrolling. If you find people with plague symptoms at the same time, report them immediately. Also, the food must be overcooked. If there is not enough firewood, the general's mansion and the camp All dismantled."

Song Beiyun is useless for fighting, but he actually has a way of sanitation and epidemic prevention. Under his command, although nearly 40 soldiers and civilians were affected by the disaster in the city, the order is still in good order and there is no chaos at all.

The temporary shantytowns resettled in high places are also equipped with special cesspit and medical facilities, such as people with diarrhea and vomiting symptoms will be isolated as soon as possible to avoid infecting a large area.

After these two days, Xiao Song was so tired that he was about to vomit. Now he just wanted to lie on the bed and have a good sleep. It didn't matter what kind of bed it was, as long as it was a bed.It would be best to have a meal of roast chicken and then take a hot bath.

Of course, the reason why the order in the city is still stable now is partly due to Song Beiyun's resettlement experience from the disaster victims in Luzhou Prefecture, and partly due to the strong law enforcement of the gendarmerie.

Under normal circumstances, in this state, the city will almost be in a state of anarchy, but the gendarmerie led by the barbarian bull is full and has nothing to do all day long, just looking for faults.

Who is to blame?Naturally, it's the trouble of those soldiers who want to bully men and women, and those troublemakers who want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune.

The gendarmerie doesn't reason with people, as long as they are caught, they don't need to be interrogated, and they will be punished directly. There are only two punishment modes in them, one is to be whipped twenty times, and the other is to be chopped with a knife.

In such an unreasonable law enforcement environment, no matter how many evils they do, they have to weigh the cost of breaking the law.

Of course, this kind of affirmation cannot become the norm, because the gendarmerie has too much power at this stage, and greater power will bring more serious corruption, but it is no problem in wartime, because the law temporarily loses its effect and corruption The speed is not so fast.

"When will Duke Ding come..."

Song Beiyun was lying on a wooden board with a towel covering his forehead. He was so tired that his head hurt and his eyes were swollen. He had had enough of this horrible life.

"It should be soon. They may not go to Changsha but come here directly. We have stayed here for almost ten days. They should be there in a day or two."

Song Beiyun didn't listen to Miao Yan's words, he just wanted to be a mangy dog ​​and stay still, thinking about nothing and doing nothing, and when Duke Ding came, he would put down the pick...

But don't say that the control of the details is still in place, the Ministry of Dingguo is really marching all the way now, and the journey is almost two days.Even they could see the muddy river flowing down the road.

And Lord Fu even launched a surprise attack. The main soldiers of King Fu's army divided into two groups, one by water, and the other by land. Now that they have passed Leizhou, they will be able to join Song Beiyun's army in a few days.

The two veteran generals guessed that Song Beiyun's troops were about to be overwhelmed, and they were all moving towards this place at their fastest speed. Even Ding Guogong turned the only [-] cavalry into heavy infantry and carried a large number of horses. Supplies are flying all the way in this direction.

At this moment, in the distant city of Jinling, Jin Ling'er was sitting at Zuorou's house, shaking her feet and telling her about her cousin.

"There's something wrong with her." Jin Ling'er ate a candied fruit, raised her head and looked at Zuo Rou like a hamster with her mouth puffed out: "I checked with the Imperial City Secretary, it was years ago when she left Lin'an City, but she came here It has been March since I arrived in Jinling City, and she has been missing for nearly three months, and she has never gone back to visit my uncle."

Zuo Rou was swinging Song Beiyun's nunchaku in her hand. When she heard this, her eyes lit up: "Go, kill her!"

"You're crazy, that's my sister." Jin Ling'er took off her shoes and made a gesture to throw them over: "Everyone you see is screaming for beating and killing."

"Then what should we do?" Zuo Rou shook his head and said, "Even if he doesn't slaughter him, he will still be arrested and interrogated. There are people in my Imperial City Department, and I will leave this matter to me."

"You can't let Yan Shu know."

Yan Shu squatted beside him, looking at Jin Ling'er with a confused face: "Your Highness, I found out this news for you..."

"I'm sorry, I forgot about you." Jin Ling'er quickly covered her mouth and laughed: "I'm very sorry."

"Hmm..." Yan Shu sighed, "I feel a little sad."

After he finished speaking, he stood up: "Actually, her identity is a bit interesting. Lin'an City is now the key place to be controlled. After the rebellion is over, it is time to deal with it. She came to Jinling City at this time. Deliberately getting close to Princess Chitose, this can't help but make people think about it."

"En." Jin Ling'er nodded and said, "She asked me about Song Agou more than once, and I suspected that she had some special purpose."

"Could it be the romantic debt owed by that bastard outside?" Zuo Rou said seriously and firmly: "That man can do it, didn't he come to you last time when he was in the palace to meet the Queen Mother?" Did Bian not return all night?"

Yan Shu's eyes were as wide as copper bells. He felt that this was definitely an accident. This Song Beiyun was fine... He stole people and went to the palace. Isn't he just guarding himself?

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jin Ling'er looked at Yan Shu who was carefully pricking up his ears, and complained, "That's because the officials kept him, so what does it have to do with me?"

"Oh...that's it." Zuo Rou nodded lightly: "I'm just saying, it's too amazing to be able to stay out of the palace at night."

"You two..." Yan Shu coughed, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Don't worry." Jin Ling'er called out to him: "Don't you find someone to watch her, I'll take care of it."
