Water Margin people

Chapter 651 Defects
Liangshan Camp.

"Boss Sun, are you really going to flood Gaotang Prefecture? There are nearly [-] civilians in there! They are all innocent!"

Zhang Shuye looked at Sun Lei and said, they just learned from the rear that Sun Lei was going to flood Gaotang Prefecture, so they rushed to stop it immediately.

"Otherwise, what should I do? They have more than 4 troops defending the city, and I only have 5000 people to attack the city. Can you tell me how to fight?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shuye and asked, in wars, the attacking side has always had an absolute numerical advantage, but now the situation is just the opposite, the defending side has more people.

"But the common people are innocent!"

Zhang Shuye emphasized.

"What is innocence? My brothers went to attack the city, and if they died, they would be innocent? You are not someone who doesn't understand. You should know that people always die in war."

Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shuye and said, he would never risk his men's lives to pile up the city wall.

"Or there are other ways. There are many counties, towns and villages in the surrounding area. I will recruit peasants, gather 10,000+ people, and fill them with their lives? It seems to be like this since ancient times. Is this what you mean? I think it's not bad! "

Sun Lei smiled again and said, war is far more cruel than imagined, human life is like nothing on the battlefield, anyway history is always written by the victors, just beautify it.

"Boss Sun, you are not a murderer, why bother to sneer!"

Zong Ze looked at Zhang Shuye whose face was pale with anger, sighed and said to Sun Lei.

"Don't think I'm joking. Now that the dam is built, it must play a role. There are not many ways to break the city. I won't use my brothers' lives to fill it, so I can only use other people's lives to fill it. .”

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and said, he is indeed not a murderer, but it does not prevent him from killing people.

"Killing one person is a crime, killing ten people is a crime, killing a hundred people is a crime, killing a thousand people is a general, killing ten thousand people is a hero! I want to do great things, so how can I do less killing?"

Pointing at Gao Tangzhou, Sun Lei said casually, killing strangers is better than watching someone close and familiar die in battle.

"You just want to save Chai Jin, there's no need to slaughter a city! I'll just help you!"

Zong Ze saw that Sun Lei was full of murderous aura, and knew that Sun Lei was not lying. He traveled from Dengzhou to Bohai Sea to Liaodong and finally returned to Liangshan. He knew very well that although Sun Lei did not kill, he was never lenient in killing people.

"But I don't want your help!"

Sun Lei rolled his eyes and pretended to be arrogant.

"you!"

This sudden arrogance made Zong Ze very angry, he put down his posture and Sun Lei didn't take it back, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

"The city is not all idiots. You just build a dam, and you may not be able to break through the city. As long as they block the water gate and the city gate, the flood may not be able to enter the city. Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army. That is a high mountain. It is unstoppable to pour water into the valley, and with the surrounding terrain, it is impossible for your water level to be higher than the city wall."

"As for food and grass, although there is no shortage in the official warehouse, there is no shortage in the civilian warehouse. The high scythe is not a good person. At worst, he will send troops to rob food. If you run out of food for a short time, it will not be effective. This place is far away from Liangshan Po, and it will take a long time. You are passive instead!"

After Zong Ze finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhang Shuye took a look and followed suit, leaving only Sun Lei to rub his chin and think alone.

"Brother, what does this old man mean by looking down on us?"

Pang Wanchun was furious, he led his troops to shoot hundreds of enemies under the city, causing them to flee in a panic.

"What do you mean? It means that our strategy is flawed, and it's not guaranteed. This old man is really capable."

Sun Lei shook his head and said.

"Isn't it? Brother's series of tricks has already made the enemy dizzy. Now that the enemy is a turtle in the urn, what waves can it cause?"

Li Xuan looked at Sun Lei and said, this time they fought extremely smoothly, and the enemy had no ability to parry at all.

"On the battlefield, as long as it is possible, it will definitely happen!"

At this moment, Sun Lei thought of Murphy's Law, the bad feeling will definitely come true, since Zong Ze has seen the flaw, then the flooding and food shortage will definitely not be able to break through the city.

"Report, brother, just now the soldiers detected the report, the enemy is strengthening the water gate and the city gate."

Xiang Chong ran to speak.

"Look, this is coming, don't underestimate the enemy!"

Sun Lei sighed and said, it was exactly what Zong Ze said.

"You can't let the enemy be reinforced like this, brother, why don't you release a wave of water first! Don't let the enemy be reinforced so smoothly, and the flow of water rushing into the city will greatly damage the morale of the enemy."

Wen Huanzhang said.

"It's a good plan. Let Tao Zongwang watch and release a wave of water. In addition, the brothers Li Ji, Li Xuan, and Ma Xie choose some capable soldiers and blow them up for me at night!"

Sun Lei nodded, just flushing with water is not enough, it is not easy to start a fire at such a heavy rainy night, it is most suitable to smear and destroy.

"Brother Ling Zhen, how waterproof is this gunpowder?"

Sun Lei looked at Ling Zhen again, what the gunpowder is most afraid of is rain and humidity, once it gets wet, the gunpowder will be useless.

"Wrap a few more layers, make it waterproof, and hide it in a special container. It should be fine."

Ling Zhen thought for a while and said, although gunpowder is afraid of moisture, there is a way to overcome it in a short time, but it is a pity that this kind of artillery can't be used normally in heavy rain.

"Okay, you prepare some explosives for the brothers Li Yu, Li Xuan, and Ma Xie!"

Sun Lei nodded.

"Also, send news to Shi Qian and Ma Ling, let them spread some rumors in the city under the premise of safety."

Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui again and said.

……

Gaotang state.

"Quick, block this water gate!"

Some officers were soaking wet and ordered the soldiers to quickly block the water gate, but the progress was not fast. None of the officers knew engineering, and the soldiers were reckless in the water. The water flow was so strong that it was blocked for a long time live.

"You can't do this, first lay down a few rows of wooden piles, then horizontally frame the logs, put bricks and stones in them, and plug the gaps with rags and hay."

Seeing the confusion, Shan Yangui commanded.

Suddenly the river rose significantly, and the soldiers in the water felt it more clearly. Looking at the heavy rain in the sky, they were at a loss for a while.

"It's not good, the thief released the flood!"

Shan Yangui's face changed greatly when he saw this, the abnormal rise in water level could not be caused by rain, it could only be caused by the enemy's flood discharge.

"Come up!"

The soldiers on the shore shouted and wanted to pull up their companions in the water, but the water was so strong that it was too late to go ashore. The surging tide directly scattered the soldiers in the water and headed towards the city.

"Leave the bank, the water is rising!"

Shan Yangui took a few steps back, and the surging river had already overflowed the bank and rushed towards the street.

"There's a flood! There's a flood!"

The accompanying peasants were so frightened that they ran away yelling. The sound came quickly, and the nearby residents heard it too.

"Water is coming! Water is coming!"

The people who opened the door shouted in bewilderment as they watched the flood flooding in. The water rose so fast that the thresholds of the houses on the lower ground were submerged.
