Water Margin people

Chapter 652
Gaotang Prefecture in the heavy rain was like a frying pan. The influx of floods caused chaos in the city. The people closed their doors and closed their doors, blocking the cracks in the doors as much as possible to prevent the coming flood.

"What's going on? The enemy is releasing water!"

Gao Lian and the others walked onto the street in confusion. On the ground, the water had already covered the feet, but the flood did not continue to rise, and it only reached the feet.

"How long has the water been stored?"

Hu Yanzhuo didn't understand, Shan Yangui had analyzed it during the day, even if it rained for a few days, it might not be enough, and the enemy was impatient to release water in just one day?
Soon Gao Lian, Li Cheng, Shi Wengong, and Zeng Tu led the people to the vicinity of the water gate. Looking at the mess and the flood water pouring into the water gate, everyone frowned. The flood was weird and not as violent as imagined.

"What's going on, why the water gate is broken, didn't you ask you to block the water gate!"

Gao Lian looked at Shan Yangui and asked.

"The thieves suddenly released the water. The soldiers were unprepared and were scattered. Fortunately, there was not much water, and the water gate could be blocked when the water level went down."

Shan Yangui smiled and said, although the water gate was flushed open, he was very happy. The sudden release of water by the enemy solved Gaotangzhou's urgent need, and the time for the enemy to store water had to be extended.

"Continue to block the water gate!"

Li Cheng looked at the destroyed water gate and said with a frown. He was a little worried. Ever since he came to Gaotang Prefecture, the Liangshan thieves were at a loss when they beat them. A low-level mistake?
The heavy rain was pouring, and everyone who had arranged things went back to the camp to rest again. This day was exhausted.

Just when everyone had just fallen asleep, there were bursts of muffled noises.

The muffled noise continued, but everyone in the camp did not respond, including the people in the city. They all thought it was thunder.

"No, the city gate has collapsed!"

The horrified shouts of the defenders woke up the people in the camp. They hurriedly put on armor and coir raincoats. The heavy rain continued in the dark night, and torches and lanterns were useless, so they could only walk on the street in the dark.

"what happened?"

When Li Cheng came to the nearby city gate, he saw that the gate had collapsed, and the gate was blocked by bricks and stones.

"Li Dujian, some thieves secretly bombed the city walls, and the city gates were destroyed!"

The soldier pointed to the blocked city gate and said.

"Why are you on duty, the thieves didn't even notice it when they approached."

Li Cheng was furious.

"Captain, don't blame us, it's been raining non-stop, we can't light a fire, we can't see clearly at all!"

The officer defending the city quickly explained that it was windy and rainy now, and the fire on the city wall could not be lighted at all. How could we see the enemy clearly in this dark night without fire, and people were cats hiding from the rain in the tower.

Li Cheng felt helpless when he saw the darkness around him, and he really couldn't find the enemy approaching in the dark.

"Build a wooden shed every twenty steps on the city wall, light a bonfire inside, and send soldiers to guard it. Go!"

Li Cheng pointed to the pitch-black city wall and ordered, how could the defenders keep their eyes darkened, even if the wind and rain were severe, they would have to light a fire to illuminate it.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that everyone in the city gradually fell asleep, but when they woke up again, they discovered the problem again.

"Why is there so much water in this city!"

Zeng Tu walked out of the room and stepped on the water, the water in the yard was up to his ankles.

"Brother, it's bad, the city is full of water!"

Zeng Mi waded through the water and said.

"How about the horses? War horses can't stay in the water for too long, the water will hurt the horseshoes!"

Zeng Tu asked quickly, the most important thing in his eyes is the war horse, and the rest are not important.

"The stables were flooded, and the fourth child has already driven the horses to a private house overnight, but this room is not suitable for penning horses!"

Zeng Mi said.

"Go, follow me to the government office!"

Zeng Tu opened the mouth with a livid face and walked out of the courtyard. Only then did Zeng Tu realize that the street was full of water. Many people were scooping water from their houses to the street with wooden basins and barrels, and they were still raising the threshold.

"Gaozhifu, why is the city full of water?"

Zeng Tu roared impatiently as soon as he entered the government office, wading all the way through the water, his boots were full of water, the wetness made him extremely irritable.

And also Gao Lian, Li Cheng, Lu Junyi, Song Jiang and others who were also irritable, all of them had faces as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"The thieves blew up the water gate out of the city, and now the water in the city can only go in and out."

Gao Lian looked at Zeng Tu and said.

"Didn't you order the soldiers to clear it?"

After sitting down, Zeng Tu took off his boots in disregard of etiquette, pouring them full of water.

"It rained heavily overnight, the soldiers were slack, and they didn't dredge at all. I saw it in the morning and found that there was no way to dredge it in a short time, and the river collapsed!"

Li Cheng said, now the army of Daming Mansion is the most numerous in the city, and they have to do everything in the city, and these people in Zengtou City can't do anything, they will only take more and more.

"My war horse has already rushed to the room. If the water is not drained, the war horse will have nowhere to stay!"

Zeng Mi looked directly at the crowd and said.

"Look at how we never had a place to stay!"

Lu Junyi was very annoyed. He had long been tired of the arrogant words of these Japanese soldiers in Zengtou City. Now that everyone was soaking in the water, everyone was uncomfortable. Why did Zengtou City have so many people.

"Report, the thief is coming!"

Before the two sides clashed, the shouts of the soldiers made everyone's faces change, and they were not in the mood to start a conflict.

Wading to the top of the city wall, looking at the Liangshan army horses outside the city, Gao Lian and the others looked ashen.

"How are you thinking?"

Sun Lei looked at Gao Lian with a smile and asked.

"You're dreaming!"

Kakashi roared angrily.

"Since this is the case, don't be idle. The rain is still falling, so the battle must be fought, right? Are you coming down to the city, or are you watching me fight with a trebuchet?"

Sun Lei pointed to a row of trebuchets behind him and said.

Soon Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Dong Ping, Suo Chao and others led their troops out of the city. The moat beside the city had already flooded, and water was everywhere.

On the Liangshan side, Du Po, Wang Jin, Lin Chong, Zhang Qing, Qin Ming, and Yang Zhi went out at the same time.

Sun Lei looked at the people in Gaotang Prefecture with a smile. He was not in a hurry to fight for the generals, but observed the few people who came out of the battle. He laughed when he saw their shoes and boots were completely wet.

"Brother, why are you so happy?"

Li Xuan asked puzzledly, this fight hasn't started yet.

"Look at the person opposite, the boots are all soaked and deformed!"

Sun Lei pointed to the boots of the generals opposite. Boots in this era are divided into cloth boots and leather boots. Cloth boots are not waterproof at all, while leather boots are brushed with some tung oil for waterproofing, but waterproof does not mean that they can be soaked in water, no Probably like galoshes.

"Didn't you guys say last night that your feet were soaking in pain? It's good to have been roasted for a long time. The enemy is the same now, I want to make the enemy even more uncomfortable! If I don't retreat, they can only continue to soak in the water."

Sun Lei said with a smile, the trench foot disease is not good. Now that the city is full of water, the soldiers will definitely die if they soak in it for a few days, and even war horses cannot stand in the water for a long time.

"Sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. Old man Zongze has the ability, which is much faster than being flooded and running out of food."

Sun Lei sighed for a while, the outcome of the war will be decided tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
