The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1242
So to say!It's not just this side that needs to use water, Tang Jun is also using it!Moreover, they secretly went to build embankments upstream of the 12 army camp.

General Cheng's men stored water below the camp, while Tang Jun stored water above. The water flow of the entire Datong River was cut off by these two places. Therefore, the scribes in the army did not see what happened to the water of the Datong River in the past two days. abnormal.

Gao Huanquan now hated Xuan Shijing to the core. No one in the army mentioned to him that the Tang army built a dam upstream to store water. Maybe the generals of the Tang army knew about it, but they didn't tell him. , Even when I left the Tang camp just now, no one stopped me. It seems that I guessed it right. He Xuan Shijing didn't want to let himself survive this war at all.

Before many people could think about it, the upstream dyke was blown up, and the Datong River, which was ready to go, was surging and rushing down, heading straight to both sides of the downstream.

More than 1000 Tang troops continued to strengthen the dam upstream. In six days, the number of fellings was not only used to reinforce the camp, but more part was quietly transported to the upstream at night. The abundant water of the Datong River has been accumulated for such a long time. Blowing up the dam gave it a vent, and its overwhelming momentum was out of control.

In a blink of an eye, the 15 army was in vain. Even if they galloped to both sides on horseback, they could not escape the end of being submerged in water.

The camp of the Tang army had been prepared for a long time. When the water poured down, even the dams built by the Goguryeo people in the upper reaches were washed away. The impact of the water flow on the 15 people was devastating. They all looked very small under the power of the camp. After the Tang army had made arrangements on the camp side, they waited at the gate of the camp.

Now what Tang Jun has to do is to wield the butcher knife and kill the Goguryeo soldiers struggling in the water, leaving no one alive.

More and more Goguryeo soldiers were found at the Tang army camp. Some Goguryeo soldiers were struggling in the water. After seeing the raft downstream, they seemed to see a life-saving straw. They wanted to catch them, but they arrived. In front of them, it was Tang Jun's sharp long knife that greeted them.

The water flow gradually stabilized, and the water at the gate of Tang Jun's camp had been stained bright red with blood, and it continued to spread towards the surroundings, becoming more and more bright and intense.

Soldiers of the Tang Army cut off the ropes tied to the raft, paddled the raft and searched around continuously, some of them went upstream, and some went downstream.

The gate of the camp was still closed. When the water hit, many things under the wooden frame of the camp were soaked by the water, but nothing important. The most important food, grass and luggage were all preserved, and Tang Jun had no worries at all.

"As soon as the flood floods, the people on both sides of the lower reaches of the Datong River will also suffer." Chang Le said: "The dealers in this field are about to close them, and they are all in vain when they are washed by the flood. Even if this Goguryeo If it is taken down, there will be a famine this year.”

Military disasters and famine, this year of Goguryeo may be the saddest year. It is so difficult for Datang to take Goguryeo and want to re-govern it.

The arable land on both sides of the Datong River is the most fertile land in Goguryeo, and now even both sides of the Datong River have been destroyed by a water plan of the Tang Army.
"Come on, let's go out to the camp to have a look." Xuan Shijing said.

Now the camp of Daying is impossible to fight, so we can only use ladders to go directly down from the wall of the camp.

There were soldiers below supporting the raft, and Xuan Shijing and Chang Le boarded the raft together.

"Go upstream." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The soldiers supporting the raft responded, and then began to paddle upstream. The raft floated on the water for more than half an hour, and saw many dead bodies along the way, but they still didn't reach the camp of the Goguryeo soldiers. I'm afraid they did. The flood also receded.

As soon as the flood broke out, the original barracks of 12 Goguryeo soldiers had been washed away by the flood. There were many corpses of Goguryeo soldiers floating in the camp.

Many people in the upper reaches were washed down. If they were lucky, they could survive by catching a floating object in the continuous camp, but even if they survived, they would no longer be able to fight. Waiting to be killed.

Xuan Shijing gave the order to silence, so no matter how hard those Goguryeo soldiers begged, the soldiers of the Tang Army would never show mercy.

"Go to Gao Huanquan, if you are alive, you want to see people, if you want to die, you want to see corpses." Xuan Shijing said to the soldiers around him.

"Yes."

It's a good thing he can do it before the battle.

Gao Huanquan led his troops out of the camp to confront the enemy, and Xuan Shijing sent scouts to follow behind. Gao Huanquan talked with the opposing general for a long time before the scouts realized something was wrong, and hurriedly rode fast horses towards their own camp He ran away, but halfway, before he reached the camp, he heard a signal from the camp, and the scout slashed the horse's butt with a knife. The horse suffered from pain, and started to run wildly.

This is a race against Lord Yama.

After running some distance away from the camp, the scout saw the raft in his own camp, jumped off his horse, found the nearest raft, rolled and climbed onto it.

Tang Jun on the raft saw that it was his brother, so he quickly pulled him up and held him, and the water rushed down in an instant.

Fortunately, Tang Jun had a lot of rafts, and they were arranged far away from the camp. Otherwise, the scouts would have received the news, but they would have lost their lives to send them back.

This is also a blessing that survives a catastrophe.

The flood rushed over, and the scout informed Xuan Shijing of the news.

Fang Shu stood on the raft, and the four people beside him paddled the raft vigorously, approaching Xuan Shijing.

"Lord Hou, most of the Goguryeo soldiers in the upper reaches were drowned, and not many survived. Maybe there are still many people in the camp. After all, there are many floating objects in the camp. As long as they are caught, they will not be destroyed. Drowning." Fang Shu said.

"Send the order, continue to the upstream camp, and see one and kill the other." Xuan Shijing said: "It is estimated that the flood will recede before we reach their camp. After the flood recedes, everyone will get off the raft to search. The point is, look for Gao Huanquan and the other party's commander-in-chief."

"Yes!" Fang Shu responded.

An hour and a half later, the flood completely receded. The Tang army also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, but not many. Twenty percent of the horses were lost, all of which were washed away by the flood. The rest were in the camp. The walls of the camp effectively blocked the rush of the flood, so nothing in the camp was washed away. Most of the horses were just soaked in the water and only their backs were exposed.
