He took out a pile of messy blueprints from his sleeve, and explained everything from the construction of the city foundation, the enclosure of the walls, and the requirements for the hardness of the rammed earth.

He also brought Cheng Qianye and others to a section of the city wall that had been rebuilt and had become windy.

Cheng Feng pulled out his sword and slashed hard on the wall made of rammed earth, only to hear a muffled sound of golden earth hitting, leaving only a shallow scratch on the wall.

"Sure enough." Cheng Qianye touched the wall that felt like a rock, and marveled at the architectural wisdom of the ancients, "If it is built like this, then the enemy can't break the city wall even with a trebuchet?"

With the rare affirmation of his boss, he was very happy, "Reporting to the lord, if all the city walls in Bianzhou are built according to this standard, I can guarantee that no matter the enemy throws stones or axe, it is impossible to break the city wall from the outside. .unless……"

"Unless what?" Cheng Qianye asked.

"Unless the city is flooded and burned," Xiu Youyu replied with his head lowered, "The two things I fear most when building a wall with rammed earth. No matter how solid and thick the city wall is, if it is flooded for half a month, its foundation will loosen and the earth will collapse."

"Flooded..." Cheng Qianye stood at the head of the city and looked towards the north.

At this moment, in Qi County, north of Bianzhou.

on the thick city wall.

Gan Yanshou, the governor of Qi County, stood at the head of the city, knitted his thick eyebrows, and looked at the city under his feet soaked in a rolling river.

Behind him, the soldiers squatted on the top of the city, catching half-cooked millet in the hanging pot to satisfy their hunger.

The city is full of ocean, and although there is food, it cannot be cooked.

All the wooden furniture, even the roof beams, were taken down to cook the rice. The people even hung up the earthen pots and held firewood to reheat the chestnut porridge in the pot, and then eat the half-baked porridge.

At the same time, due to long-term immersion in water, dead livestock, people and horses have nowhere to be buried. A disease gradually broke out in the city, and it has become uncontrollable.

Gan Yanshou cast his eyes on the dry land more than twenty miles away from the city.

There are countless black shacks densely covered.

A fence made of thick trees surrounded the Jin army barracks. Outside the barracks there were ferocious horses and deer antlers. Inside the camp, flags were waving, cavalrymen running in and out, and foot soldiers walking in uniform.

Mo Qiaosheng, the captain of the Jin army, had led his team to besiege Huaxian for more than half a month, but he never launched a real attack.

A few months ago, when Gan Yanshou heard the news that Jin State sent troops to take Qixian County, he was not panicked.

Although Qixian County is not big, he has been stationed here for many years, the soldiers are full of food, the city is strong, and the people's hearts are naturalized.

There is Wei Hui at the bottom, and Huaxian at the top, such as the left and right wings, which can be his side responders.

No matter where the Jin army general Mo Qiaosheng attacked, the other two places could respond at any time, forming a situation of pincer attack.

If the enemy army is defeated and pursued and attacked, many of them will be drowned in the Huáng River.

If the enemy army advances, he only needs to live in the city, and he can't hold on, and the food in the city is enough for the entire army for half a year.

He arranged for the fortified walls to clear the fields early, and the enemy's food and forage could not be sustained, and in his mind he could only retreat without a fight.

But who would have thought that this Mo Qiaosheng would take down the most inconspicuous Wei Hui in a single day with lightning speed.

Then the army drove to the foot of Qi County.

Surrounded but not attacked.

Every day, I see a large number of civilians in the army carrying hoe carts, going in and out.

At that time, Gan Yanshou knew what Mo Qiaosheng wanted, and this was the move he was most afraid of.

He knew that the Jin army had split up to attack Huaxian in the upper reaches.

However, trapped in the city, he was helpless.

Huaxian is located in the upper reaches of Qixian County and at the confluence of Huáng River and Weishui River.

Mo Qiaosheng took down Huaxian County, which was weak in defense, and dug through canals and embankments.

He Gan Yanshou could only stand at the top of the wall every day and was trapped within the city wall.

He watched helplessly as the soldiers dug the canal under the city wall.

He watched helplessly as the water of the Huáng River rolled in, flooding the entire city.

There are only two paths waiting for him, death or surrender without a fight.

The Jin army will take down the city that he has worked so hard to manage for many years without abandoning one soldier or one soldier.

Gan Yanshou let out a long sigh, he didn't know why the lord would provoke such a powerful opponent for no reason.

His family has been a retainer of the Han family for generations and is loyal to the lord of Hanyang. But in fact, in his heart, he despises the current lord Han Quanlin very much.

That is a desolate and ignorant person who only knows how to be obsessed with sensuality.

Gan Yanshou remembered the rumor he heard.

The lord saw Mo Qiaosheng's beauty, he couldn't do it, and it was so absurd that he wanted to exchange it with Qixian jiāo.

In exchange for such a man who used the army like a god, he only wanted to earn his own harem, and only regarded it as a pleasure between the two.

The Marquis of Jin Yue, the ruler of the state of Jin, was a virtuous man, and his heart was naturally furious.

The first thing to do after repelling Quanrong was to worship Mo Qiaosheng as a general and send 10,000 troops to take Qi County.

Isn't it just to make this fierce general under his account feel ashamed in person?

Gan Yanshou closed his eyes and called his adjutant, "Hang the white flag, open the city, and beg for surrender."

The flood receded.

Qi

On the city wall of the county, the flag of Jin State was replaced.

Mo Qiaosheng rode a horse, stepped on the muddy ground, and stood under the city gate.

He raised his head and looked at this majestic ancient city, the two quaint characters above the city gate - Qixian.

On that dark and desperate rainy night.

Han Quanlin's ugly face swayed in front of his eyes, this disgusting man lifted out of this huge city and almost completely bent his spine.

He couldn't believe that he had such a value that he could let the lord choose himself to be humble and insignificant.

He even reluctantly wanted to compromise for a while.

If it wasn't for the lord, he would hold him with a dead heart.

Why was the lord able to firmly declare in front of others that he was more valuable than this city at that time?

In the face of so many doubts and slanders, the lord is also under pressure.

Now, I really did it, and I won Qi County without spending a single soldier or soldier of the lord.

Not just one city.

In the future, ten seats, a hundred seats.

I want everyone in the world to know that the value of my Mo Qiaosheng is not comparable to this mere city.

Lord, I have made you proud.

I may let you stand on a high platform and look down on those who slandered you in the first place.

Chapter 62

The city where the flood receded is a piece of láng.

Mo Qiaosheng led his guards and rode on the muddy streets.

Numerous Jin soldiers armed with spears maintained the post-war order by the roadside.

On both sides of the road lay restless Qi County civilians, bowing their heads in front of the point of their spears.

Those faces that face the mud and can't see expressions, some are full of grief and indignation of the city's ruin, and some are full of worries about the unknown fate.

No matter what, the black-armored enemy general who rode past them was an existence that made them tremble.

As early as when the city was flooded, legends about this slave-turned-general spread throughout the city.

It is said that he served the king in Israel without any strategy. It is said that he murdered like a numb, cold-blooded and ruthless.

Of course, the most mysterious thing is the story of "the city will not change". In the story, the "city" used to exchange generals is the land under their feet.

Now, the city is broken, and the "Mo Yan Wang" who is full of evil spirits leads the army into the city.

They could only kneel on the ground tremblingly, praying that the general would not use the lives of the common people to pay for the mistakes made by the lord.

The governor of Qi County, Gan Yanshou, bares himself and kneels on the ground, waiting for the coming fate.

This was the most humiliating moment in his life, and this humiliation might not save his life.

Am I wrong, I should have taken the initiative to attack when the Jin army was first besieging the city. Instead of being so cautious, just thinking about sticking to the city.

Now, it is useless to think too much.

He only hoped that Mo Qiaosheng, the general of the Jin army, would put down his personal grievances and refrain from taking revenge on the city because of his humble prayer. If you can give yourself a sharp knife to end this kind of humiliation, you will be considered lucky.

A dark horse stopped in front of him, its hoofs stopped, splashing a little cold muddy water.

Gan Yanshou raised his head and saw the face sitting high on the horse.

The figure was holding the light behind his back, his expression was cold, and he spoke out loudly, saying the words that determined the fate of tens of thousands of people in the city.

"Since the public thinks of the people and raises the city to surrender, I will not hurt the public will. Now in the third chapter of the law of the whole city, the generals of the Jin army, after entering the city, if there is murder, looting, or jianyín, they will all be dealt with by military law. Must believe!"
