Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 872
Before entering Lunu, Xu Bugu sent a team of ten thousand people to the upper reaches of the Tang River.

The Tang River is the mainstream river running through Lunu, with a wide channel.

Now that it is the flood season, the water volume is very large.

Build a barrage in the upstream, and after it is filled with water, breaking through the dam can cause great damage to the downstream.

This is also a necessary way to flood the downstream city.

"Get off the horse, dig out the surrounding mud, and start building the barrage."

A Huns ten thousand head growled and said.

He is Xu Bugu's confidant, Duotuo, who was ordered to build a barrage upstream to cooperate with the downstream Xu Bugu to flood Lunu City.

More than half of these 1 people were defectors from Qiang and Xianbei, and Xu Bugu couldn't trust them, so he asked Duotuo to bring them upstream to build a barrage.

After a while, more than 7000 people took out leather bags, filled them with soil, and built a barrage on the river bed.

They chose a place with a gentle current and a narrow river mouth, so that they could get the greatest results with the least amount of labor.

7000 people were busy on the river bed, while Duotuo led [-] men to supervise on the shore.

It took only half a day for the barrage to take shape.

With the barrage, the water in the upstream section began to slowly gather.

very good!

Seeing the results in front of him, Duo Tuo nodded in satisfaction.

At this rate, it will take less than two days for the river to fill up, break through the barrage, and flood the downstream.

He only hoped that King Xubugu in the lower reaches could build enough rafts in a short time. Once the city of Lunu was flooded, they could easily reach the city with rafts.

……

Just as the Xiongnu were building the barrage in full swing, a group of people emerged in the Tangxian River section [-] miles upstream, and the leader was Zhen Yao.

Zhen Yao was arranged by Guo Jia to be the county magistrate in Tang County, and Xu Bu Guzhi was in Lunu, so he ignored these small surrounding counties.

In Xu Bugu's view, as long as Lunu City is captured, the surrounding small counties will naturally surrender.

But what he didn't expect was that it was these small county towns that ruined their major event.

"Your Majesty!"

A scout said excitedly: "The Huns are building a dam on the river twenty miles away, and it's already half built. The general asked us to proceed as planned."

"Very good! The general really knows things like a god!"

Zhen Yao nodded excitedly.

For this brother-in-law, he admired him all over.

Now that the Zhen family has been completely tied up with Guo Jia, and all will be prosperous and all will be damaged, Zhen Yao will naturally go all out to follow Guo Jia.

"Get ready to do it!"

He waved his hand violently.

The officials behind him rushed out one after another.

It turned out that they built a dam to store water in the Tang County river section early in the morning, just waiting for the Huns to come.

The Huns built barrages downstream from them, and that was their own death.

"The barbarians of Huawai still dare to imitate the Han people's methods to conquer cities and conquer territories. I, Zhen Yao, will let you pay some tuition fees."

Zhen Yao chuckled and waved the command flag fiercely.

More than 1000 civilians and officials from both sides of the strait worked together to pull the rope on the bank, and the barrage suddenly collapsed, and the river roared downstream.

"Everyone, return to the city immediately, no one can leave the city without my order!"

After the dam was broken, Zhen Yao immediately ordered everyone to return to the city.

More than a thousand people returned to Tang County one after another, and the four doors were closed tightly.

Once the Huns suffer a loss, they will definitely send people up the river. Tang County does not have many garrisons, only less than [-] people strong, and they are no match for the Huns at all, so it is better to defend the city first.

……

The flood roared down, and soon formed a torrent, which instantly destroyed half of the dam built by the Huns, and along with it, washed down the thousands of Huns working in the riverbed.

Ahhhhh!
The Huns screamed and kept floating in the flood.

They were all men who were born on horseback. They didn't know how to swim, but now they were washed into the water. Naturally, they were close to death.

Not only that, but the flood water also washed away the equipment they brought. This time, the barrage could not be completed.

Doto was furious.

He never expected the Han people to be so cunning.

The Huns built barrages upstream of Lunu, and the Han built barrages upstream of them.

Their barrages have not yet been built, and the Han people's barrages have begun to attack.

What makes Duo Tuo even more angry is that the timing of the Han people's choice to break the dam was insidious, and they did it when they were halfway through the construction.

At this moment, nearly five or six thousand surrendered soldiers were washed away by the flood, and all the material equipment they brought were lost in sevens and eighties.

Fortunately, all the people in Duotuo did not go down on the shore, so they were able to escape.

"These Han people are too hateful, go and report to the king, I will lead my troops to catch up and kill them!"

Duotuo roared angrily, sent people to report to Xu Bugu, and then led [-] cavalry up the river, vowing to kill those Han people.

When Duo Tuo's army rushed to Tang County, the four gates of Tang County were closed tightly, and the defenders and young and strong were all on top of the city.

Although Tang County is not as good as Lu Nu's state and county government, the city is also very strong, and the people in Duotuo can't help but stare blankly.

Nomads are not good at attacking cities, even if the opponent has only a thousand people, they can block them with the advantage of the city.

Duotuo had no choice but to station around Tang County to prevent these people from coming out again to sabotage their plan to build a barrage.

……

The great cause of the barrage in the upper reaches is completely over, and the Huns in the lower reaches are still waiting.

Sure enough, the flood came, but it was faster than they expected, and it was mixed with a large number of slave corpses.

Of course, these people are all slaves who built the barrage upstream.

darn thing!

Hearing that the Han had sabotaged the Huns' plan to build a dam, Ayimu was furious.

In just one day, they lost 7000 people and a lot of equipment, which is really unbelievable.

Your Majesty, I am going to send someone to destroy this county right now?
A Yimu was successfully attracted by Tang County, and planned to destroy Tang County first.

"Don't be reckless!"

Xu Bugu said lightly.

He wasn't very angry.

This is Yunzhou, which is Guo Jia's territory. Naturally, people will not just watch the Huns flood Lunu.

It's just that Xu Bugu didn't expect that Guo Jia would build a dam upstream of them in advance, and use water attack against water attack, destroying their water attack plan.

The Han people are really cunning!

Xu Bugu couldn't help but shook his head.

"Order Duo Tuo to keep an eye on Tang County and not come back for the time being. A Yimu, you are dividing up [-] troops and going upstream to build a barrage."

Water attack is still a lucrative business, so Xu Bugu will not give up until the critical moment.

Besides, their strength is still sufficient.

It is absolutely possible to continue to divide troops to build barrages.

Yes!
Ayimu replied resentfully, and ordered people to build the barrage again.
