My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 387 Daliang Chengmao Kingdom is gone and will never return.

The Taotao Guyou River was blocked in front of and downstream, and the water flow rolled back, like a huge wave, pouring towards the plains of the western capital of the Liang Kingdom.

In the torrential rain, Su Chen stood under the umbrella with his hands behind his hands, looking at the rolling waves, overflowing the river embankment and hitting the wilderness.

"Daliang Xidu is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a large river to the west. It originally had a natural defensive advantage. After more than two hundred years, people here may have forgotten that the rivers they depend on for survival also have the power to destroy a country."

A little behind him, all the generals in the army were there, wearing raincoats and bamboo hats. They stood in the heavy rain and looked at the ocean-like plains to the east below, full of undulating water waves.

Dong Zhuo pushed Lu Bu with his elbow and raised his chin towards the water outside the mountain: "Was it like this when the water flooded Xiapi?"

"Humph, it's almost the same!" Lu Bu glanced at Dong Zhuo next to him while holding his halberd, feeling a familiar feeling of itching his hands, "Back then, Cao Cao used the water of the Juesi and Yi rivers, and the whole city was soaked in the water, and the people There is nothing to eat, the army's grain and fodder has been soaked by the flood, and there is almost no food. The army has no fighting spirit and is alienated from a certain family. Now the Western Capital of Liang Dynasty may not be able to hold on any longer."

"Haha, when it comes to tactics, the method of water and fire is the most convenient." Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes, "But I don't bother to use it!"

At this time, on the hillside, next to the parked ancestral coffins, all the mourners jumped outside and looked at the scene of flooded beams. Although many of the emperors were also wise kings, they had never been to the battlefield in person and saw this scene, and they felt extremely sad. Shocking.

Even the First Emperor came out. He stood on the roof of the car and turned a blind eye to the rain, and spoke in a low voice.

"Wang Ben's flooding of the beams must be this strange scene. I could imagine the scene just by looking at the battle reports, but now I am immersed in it. It's really refreshing."

He turned his head slightly and looked at Su Chen's position, 'It would be great if there was still a soul coming back. ’

Over there, Su Chen felt the gaze of others. When he turned around, he saw that the First Emperor on the ancestral coffin had returned to his spiritual place in the car. After turning his gaze away, he ordered Wu Zixun behind him: "Wait until the rain stops and the water calms down. Let the soldiers attack the city by boat, without giving the defenders of the western capital of Liang the slightest preparation!"

at the same time.

The entire west of Daliang was in huge chaos. The drums on the city towers and the government officials carrying gongs were beating wildly in the streets, mobilizing the people in the city to join forces to defend the city against flooding.

Suddenly, the entire city was running wildly in the middle of the night. Soldiers and people were stepping in water as deep as their feet, busy digging and bagging soil, and transporting it back and forth to the four gates to pile up and seal the gaps in the doors.

The soldiers on the city wall were trembling as they looked at the water outside the city that was almost half the height of the city wall.

"It's over...everyone outside the city is over!"

At this time, in the palace, the emperor, who had just fallen asleep again, was woken up by the eunuch. He heard that a flash flood that had never happened in a century suddenly flooded the outside of the city into a vast ocean. He first sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, and then " Ah!" He overturned the table in front of the bed.

The queen came to help him, but he pushed her back to the bed.

"My army...the one hundred thousand army I just expanded!! It's all over...ah!"

Tuoba Kui went crazy and pulled out the sword hanging at the end of the bed, kicked down the tables and chairs, and swung the sword randomly in the room, scaring the queen into hiding in the bed. Two eunuchs heard the noise outside the door and came in. One of them was hysterical. The emperor fell to the ground with a sword and fell into a pool of blood.

"Don't come in, go and call the Queen Mother!" the Queen called to another eunuch.

The eunuch was also frightened, and immediately turned around and went out. Not long after, Queen Mother Zhao Xifeng hurried over with her guards and maids. She asked the guards to step forward and snatch the sword from the emperor's hand. Tuoba Kui was very skilled in martial arts, and the guard When he went up, he was slashed with a sword and almost had his intestines ruptured.

However, the old eunuch who came after hearing the news took action and snatched the sword from Tuoba Kui's hand. Tuoba Kui also wanted to snatch it away and kill the old eunuch. But the mother who stepped forward raised her hand and slapped him loudly on the face.

Tuoba Kui suddenly became quiet.

"Have you calmed down?" Zhao Xifeng leaned on his crutches and looked at the emperor in front of him with disappointment. "A single blow will drive you crazy. Now it's not the Xia army that's coming, but a natural disaster!"

"This is not a natural disaster!"

Tuoba Kui was quiet for a moment, and then cried out. It was not nice for such a big man to cry, and it was not nice to hear. He burst into tears: "Mother, even if there were flash floods in the past years, when did they become so powerful? There must be something different this time. , My poor son, the army he just formed is just gone, just gone!"

He suddenly knelt down, hugged his mother's legs like a child and cried heartbrokenly.

Zhao Xifeng sighed. She actually knew better than anyone else what Liang Guo could do against Xia Guo after this disaster, but she didn't want to undermine her son's confidence.

He gently stroked Tuoba Kui's bun and comforted him: "Aren't there still troops in the city? Your Majesty can guard it well. There are not enough defenders, and there are still people. Even if these are gone, Your Majesty is still the emperor. He is the emperor." We cannot humiliate the ancestors of the Tuoba clan. We would rather die in battle than be like the useless emperor of the Qi Kingdom!"

Tuoba Kui, who was leaning on his mother's legs, gradually calmed down and nodded.

"I listen to my mother. After the army is defeated, I still have the clan. After the clan is defeated, I will personally fight with the Xia army until I die in battle!"

He wiped the tears on his face and stood up again. At present, many civil and military officials in the palace had gathered. They restrained their weak emotions and returned to the emperor's look. He said goodbye to his mother and led the old eunuch to the front palace. . In the main hall at this time, all the civil and military officials had arrived, anxiously waiting for the emperor to come and issue orders.

"Oh my God, my earth, how could such a huge flood happen suddenly!"

"If there is an emergency, will the Xia people's army also be flooded?"

"That's fine. The scary thing is that they caused this flash flood through this heavy rain!"

"How can people from the Xia Kingdom have such extraordinary abilities? This is a magical method."

"There is a saying in the art of war in the Central Plains... The counselors of the Xia Kingdom cannot be said to be very powerful!"

Amidst the messy words, Tuoba Kui led the guards and eunuchs from the back hall. At this time, he had nothing to discuss. At the moment, he was vigorously controlling the floods in the city, and then rescuing the grain in the official warehouses and waiting for the flood to recede.

However, while discussing with the ministers to control the flooding in the city, the sky outside gradually became brighter. One after another, the fast horses carrying the emperor's orders ran out of the imperial city. The heavy rain outside gradually subsided. Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the palace, and a guard followed in panic. Come to the square outside and salute with fists outside the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the Xia army is attacking the city in boats!"

All the civil and military officials in the hall were stunned and speechless. It was now completely confirmed that the flood was indeed caused by the other party, otherwise the boat would not have been built in advance.

"Let the soldiers on the city wall prepare for battle!" Tuoba Kui sat on the dragon chair with an expressionless expression, clapping the armrests with gritted teeth.

……

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of war drums spread through the four gates of the city. Outside the city gate tower facing the south, the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the undulating water. Among the sparkling waves, more than 300 boats were rowed towards this side by soldiers. On the boat were Zhao Yun and Xiang Yu. One had lived in Jingzhou for many years and knew how to fight in the water, while Xiang Yu had grown up in Jiangdong, so he naturally knew how to use water.

"Strictly guard the front of the city!"

"As soon as you enter an arrow's reach, shoot your arrow immediately. They are on the ship and there is no place to hide!"

Soldiers were running around on each section of the city wall, while the generals and commanders at each level were shouting loudly to cheer up the soldiers under their command. Each archer drew his arrows and stared at the fast boats cruising on the water half the height of the city outside.

On the water outside the city, I heard the shouts on the city wall. Although I didn't quite understand what they were saying, they were definitely talking about boosting morale. Xiang Yu lowered his hands behind his back and said to Zhao Yun beside him with a smile: "That's it." Height, just go up, this is the first skill to break the city, I got it first!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and grabbed the city-breaking halberd carried on the shoulders of the two soldiers. The moment the boat approached the city wall, he suddenly stepped forward and walked to the bow of the boat. The hull leaned forward, Xiang Yu Holding the city-breaking halberd, he jumped up with a swish, and traced a high trajectory in the sight of the soldiers on the city wall.

"Something is flying over!"

"Be careful--"

The shouts one after another rang out from the top of the city. The next moment, Xiang Yu's figure hit the city wall like a cannonball. The stone bricks paved suddenly shattered in a circle and spread in all directions from his feet.

"I...I...my mother..." A captain was so frightened that he stammered and finally shouted: "The enemy general is coming to the city!"

The shouts that came out of his mouth stopped abruptly the next moment. The huge halberd tip pierced directly from his mouth and came out from the back of his head. The whole head was squeezed and cracked.

"Ha ha……"

Xiang Yu looked at the dull-eyed Liang soldiers around him and the crowd swarming in the distance. He opened his mouth, and his disdainful chuckle gradually turned into a heroic laughter.

"Let's all come together!"

He suddenly raised his body with his halberd, his bun flying, and the broken bricks under his feet were blown away. The sharp murderous aura in his double-pupiled eyes instantly turned into reality.

Looking at the defenders rushing towards the city, he laughed and rushed towards them.

One person rushes towards an army of thousands.

Outside the city, while the defenders were attracted by Xiang Yu, Zhao Yun commanded the boat to quickly approach the city wall. Ladders were erected from the bottom of the boat, braving the arrows.

You Yan's soldiers pushed the ladder to the city wall and went up to kill him.
