Just when Wang Ben and the Qiang Yu soldiers were divided into two groups, Baizhong had already received the order to go north, leaving only Xiong Qi in Chencheng.

When there was still one day's journey from Daliang, Baizhong discovered that Wang Ben was super fast and quickly captured Anyang and other cities. He came to Daliang City and even began to attack the city. He also sent people to support him.

One day later.

Baizhong also arrived at Daliang City.

This is almost an isolated city. The west side has completely fallen. The main force in the north is on the Yellow River. There are not many main forces in the east. Now we are still hesitant to rescue. Wang Ben tried to attack Daliang City, but it had no effect.

He found that Daliang City was more difficult to conquer than Jingxing at that time.

At best, Jingxing's defense is relatively strong, and there are many strongholds outside the city.

There is nothing outside Daliang City. The walls are strong and the fields are clear. The moat has been dug deep and wide, and the city towers have been reinforced and raised. He also heard that King Wei had hoarded enough food in the city for two years and prepared 200,000 men to guard the city.

It is completely possible to drag the Qin army to death here for two years.

Even when the Qin army approached the city, the Wei army continued to reinforce the defensive projects.

As soon as Bai Zhong arrived, he heard Wang Ben talking about his headache.

"The King of Wei sent people to strengthen the city wall of Daliang since we destroyed Zhao. Now, the entire city is very strong."

Wang Ben looked towards the city and asked helplessly: "Does General Bai have any plan to break the city?"

Bai Zhong didn't think much, he directly spread out the map, pointed at the Yellow River and Honggou rivers next to Daliang, and said: "To break the city, the method is very simple. Dig the embankments of the Yellow River and Honggou rivers, and do various

As a flood control measure, water can be diverted to soak Daliang City."

The ancient city walls were not all made of masonry, but there was a layer of masonry on the outside, and all the inside was compacted soil.

As long as it is soaked in water for a period of time, the city wall will become soft and collapse will happen sooner or later.

Wang Ben looked at the map for a while. The Yellow River and the Chasm were far away from Daliang, but it was not impossible to dig them. At most, the amount of water diversion and waterproofing work would be a bit large, and the trenches to be excavated would be relatively long.

When Bai Qi, the God of Death, besieged Ying City, he dug a hundred-mile-long canal to divert water from the Yangtze River and directly breached the city.

"Immediately follow what General Bai said, gather the troops and find a suitable place to dig the ditch."

Wang Ben quickly turned around and said to the deputy general behind him: "We must start digging within five days."

He felt that Bai Zhong's plan was absolutely feasible and was the only way to break the city. He added, "If it hadn't been for General Bai's clever plan, I don't know how long it would have been delayed by King Wei."

Bai Zhong explained casually: "I saw that there are many water systems near Daliang, so I suddenly came up with this method and thought flooding was feasible."

"Next, we have to trouble General Bai to go north to the Yellow River to prevent the main force of the Wei army from going south."

Wang Ben added: "When General Bai arrives at the Yellow River, General Qiang Yu will take away some of his troops and go to the east of Daliang City first to eliminate the last main force and reinforcements of the Wei army and completely turn Daliang into an isolated city."

Bai Zhong said: "No problem!"

After they discussed it, Bai Zhong decided to go north again tomorrow.

Currently in the military camp, we need to recharge our batteries and restore the physical strength of the soldiers.

Wang Ben no longer planned to attack the city, but started preparing to dig long canals and flood the beams.

——

Early the next morning.

On the tower of Daliang.

Although King Wei was very afraid of the Qin army, he still came to the tower of Daliang and looked down at the Qin army. He saw that the army was densely packed. Just looking at the momentum alone, he could completely crush the Wei army.

If they fight, they will definitely lose. Fortunately, the city wall is high and thick, and it can still stop them.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw it, they quickly stood up and saluted, saying they were going to meet the king.

The king of Wei pretended to wave his hand, telling them not to be polite, and said: "The Qin people are cunning. They attacked Chu openly and suddenly broke into Wei territory from Handan. I thought that the Qin army was going to attack from the north, so we mobilized the main force to go there."

We resisted, but we didn’t expect Wang Ben to invade from the south and arrive at the city within a few days. The prime minister, the widow and you all guessed wrong and didn’t expect this to happen.”

Tang Ju next to him felt guilty at this time and bowed: "I feel sorry for your Majesty. I brought up the matter of gathering the main force to go north. Our main force crossed the Yellow River and was intercepted by the Qin army and could not come back, which led to what happened today."

result."

"I don't blame the Prime Minister. If I had the ability to defend the country, I wouldn't be like this today."

King Wei pretended to look outside the city and suddenly saw a large group of Qin troops heading north. Although the distance was relatively far, he could still see that those people did not look like regular soldiers, but prisoners, Cheng Dan and others.

People, because they walk very messily, are not like well-disciplined troops.

He said: "Prime Minister, look quickly. The Qin army suddenly arranged for a group of people to go north. What is Wang Ben going to do?"

Tang Ju looked up. He was old and had bad eyesight, but he could still see people moving around. He was suddenly shocked and said in shock: "It's not good. These people are heading towards the Yellow River and the chasm. I think

Wang Ben plans to flood the beams!"

"What!"

King Wei was so excited that he almost jumped up.

If the Qin army was really allowed to dig canals and divert water to flood them, their moats would no longer be of use, and the city walls would definitely collapse after being soaked.

Even if the city wall is not damaged, if floods pour into the city, life will be difficult for the soldiers and civilians, and it may even cause plague.

This is more terrifying than the Qin army directly attacking the city!

"I have received news that Prince Jiu of Lord Ningling has gathered people from the three Jin Dynasties in Suiyang to recruit troops and horses to support Daliang. I am worried that Daliang has been flooded before Prince Jiu comes."

Tang Ju no longer agreed to defend Daliang, and suggested: "How about we abandon Daliang and go back to Prince Jiu first? What does the king think?"

Once flooded, there is no chance of recovery.

Now that the Qin army's plan is not in progress, even if the entire city is surrounded, it should not be a problem to rely on the 200,000 people in the city to break out.

"no!"

King Wei decisively refused: "It's hard to leave my homeland, and it's hard to leave the ancestral temple. I will not abandon the city and run away, and I will never surrender."

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Wei army around him all looked towards King Wei.

Their morale finally rose.

The kings were already like this, their fighting spirit began to burn, and they wanted to fight the Qin army to the death.

If it can be defended, the Wei Dynasty will be safe. If it cannot be defended, it will most likely lead to death.

"King!"

Tang Julao burst into tears and said: "I will accompany the king and defend Daliang to the death!"

"Accompany the king and guard the beam to the death!"

The soldiers on the city shouted in response.

"good!"

King Wei clenched his hands tightly and said loudly: "Even if the beam collapses due to flooding, we will fight to the end!"

Before, he was incompetent and afraid of death.

But something has changed now, my blood is boiling, and my whole body is full of pride and ambition.

Tang Ju sighed in his heart, if Wei's morale had been so strong a few years ago, it would not be afraid of Qin now.
Chapter completed!
