The Most Powerful Emperor System in History

Chapter 123 The Embarrassing Capture of Qiushan Castle

In the next few days, Lu Feng let the army try to attack twice. The best result was when he climbed the city wall, but he was shot down by a crossbow before he could gain a foothold.

In the end, many soldiers were lost, but the city wall was not yet taken down.

This also made Lu Feng very helpless.

But these days, Xun Yu and Jia Xu have brought people around to investigate Qiushan City, trying to find a way to break the city.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

On this day, in Lu Feng's military tent, Xun Yu ran in with a face full of excitement.

Lu Feng had a happy expression on his face, and hurriedly said, "Wen Ruo, come, tell me, what's your plan?"

"Your Majesty, Wen He and I took people to investigate the terrain around Qiushan City these days, and we found something outside the South Gate!"

"What did you find?"

"Your Majesty, the south gate of Qiushan City is Qiushan, but because the soil is loose and the city wall is not very strong, there are usually collapses. If we attack with water, we will definitely be able to break through the city gate in one fell swoop!" Xun Yu said.

Lu Feng frowned slightly and asked, "Water attack? Qiushan City is half a day's journey away from Jade Snake River, and we have to go through Xiaolingdu on the way. How can we attack by water?"

"No need to worry, Your Majesty, I have found the water for the water attack!" Xun Yu said with a smile.

"Where?"

"On Qiushan Mountain behind Qiushan City, there is a huge waterfall that flows directly into the Jade Snake River, but we can intercept the water. We only need to divert the water from this waterfall to soak the south gate of Qiushan City. Within ten days, the south gate will be broken. , Qiushan Castle will be destroyed!"

Lu Feng listened, pondered slightly, and said, "There is no reason for Zhang Pengyi and Houlin in Qiushan City to not know about this. After all, they have been in Qiushan City for much longer than us, so they should have considered it!"

"Your Majesty's lesson!"

Xun Yu said: "As Your Majesty said, when Wen He and I were investigating where, we saw the soldiers of Qiushan City, and they also noticed the waterfall, but there was no way to stop it, so we could only keep the waterfall! However, because the waterfall is far away from the south gate of Qiushan City, if we want to use this method, we need to send an army to dig a channel, and where is the mountain, even if a 50,000-strong army works together, it will take about two days!"

"At this time, as long as someone makes a sneak attack, we can interrupt our plan. So..."

"cavalry!"

Lu Feng took the call,

Said: "Let the cavalry gather outside the south gate. Once the soldiers in Qiushan City attack, they will be killed without mercy!"

Xun Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, Wen He and I also think the same way. This method is currently our only method. You can try it!"

"Okay, just follow this method, inform Lv Bu's cavalry to get ready, and at the same time divide an army of 50,000 to start breaking ground!"

Xun Yu responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

With an order, the 50,000-strong army quickly assembled, led by Lu Feng and several others, to dig channels.

When these people arrived at the waterfall, when the ground was just broken, Zhang Pengyi and the people arranged by the waiter had already passed the news back.

Zhang Pengyi and Houlin met immediately.

"Brother Zhang, you also got the news, what are your plans?" Waiting looked at Zhang Pengyi with a heavy expression.

Zhang Pengyi's face is also not good-looking, he naturally knows the threat of the waterfall to Qiushan City, but there is no way to solve it.

"Send troops to make a surprise attack. We must not let this channel be dug up by Lu Feng!" Zhang Pengyi said solemnly.

Waiting smiled bitterly and said, "I have already received the news. In order to prevent us from sending troops, Lu Bu waited outside with 30,000 cavalry. If we open the city gate, I am afraid that before we can rush out, Lu Bu's cavalry will already be there. Rush in!"

Zhang Pengyi's face was even more ugly, he pondered a little, and said solemnly: "The army retreats into the inner city!"

"Evacuate to the inner city?"

When he was shocked, he stared at Zhang Pengyi and said, "Brother Zhang, this is not to say that once you give up the outer city, although the inner city has strong walls and thick walls, there will be no chance for you to break through. Think about it!"

Zhang Pengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't I know? I just know what else to do? Could it be that we are here waiting for Lu Feng to soak the South Gate with water, let the South Gate City collapse, and wait for the army to come in?"

"Withdrawing into the inner city, we can fight a protracted war with Lu Feng. The military rations in the inner city are enough for our army for a year, and Lu Feng's army, coming from a long distance, will definitely not be able to keep up with the military rations! In addition, the prince has been in charge of the king's capital all these years. Most of the army's rations are transferred to the border, and the capital of the capital is not much, and the capital of the capital cannot give him much support, after a long time, the troops will definitely be withdrawn, and then our opportunity will come!"

Waiting slightly sank, looked up at Zhang Pengyi, and said solemnly: "Brother Zhang, have you decided yet?"

Zhang Pengyi nodded and said, "I have made up my mind, Brother Hou, if you don't want to do this, you can lead your army of 100,000 troops to continue to defend the outer city, and I will lead the army to defend the inner city!"

Waiting smiled bitterly, if Lu Feng did not care about the life and death of the soldiers and forcibly attacked regardless of the loss, the army of 200,000 might not be able to defend Qiushan City, let alone the army of 100,000.

He nodded, agreed with Zhang Pengyi's suggestion, withdrew into the inner city, and fought a protracted battle with Lu Feng.

However, although it is decided, withdrawing troops is also a matter of knowledge. Once Lu Feng sees the clue and the army attacks the city, everything will be over!

Under the arrangement of Zhang Pengyi and Hou Lin, the army retreated into the inner city in an orderly manner, leaving only 20,000 people on the city wall with flags and flags, as if the army was still there.

On Lu Feng's side, the army continued to dig the channel. Two days later, the channel was finally about to be dug through. The south gate of Qiushan City was broken, and it was just around the corner.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Jinyiwei that there is movement in Qiushan City."

Just when Lu Feng was about to give the order to dig through the last paragraph, Jia Xu came to him, his face a little ashamed.

Lu Feng looked at it and said with a smile, "Wenhe, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly!"

"thump!"

Jia Xu suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this minister is incompetent, I failed to get the first information on the action of the Qiushan City army, and I hope that your majesty will be punished!"

Lu Feng frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Xu handed the letter from Jinyiwei to Lu Feng.

After looking at it, Lu Feng's face was gloomy and uncertain. After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that we still underestimate the determination of Pengyi and Houlin to defend the city!"

Zhang Pengyi and the waiting army retreated into the inner city. They retreated yesterday, but Jinyiwei only discovered the situation this morning.

This is Jin Yiwei's dereliction of duty.

Jia Xu is the commander of Jinyiwei, and this matter is inextricable, so he is asking for guilt.

Looking at Jia Xu, Lu Feng helped him up and said with a smile: "Wenhe, although this is Jin Yiwei's dereliction of duty, the responsibility is not on you. Lead the army to retreat to the inner city! You don't need to blame yourself for this!"
