Chapter 1248 Jia Heng: Hauge, Yanzhou is your burial place
Outside Yanzhou Prefecture, the Chinese Army Camp——
Not long after, Hebei Admiral Kang Hong and Zhang Dai, as well as Denglai Governor Mu Sheng, as well as several generals from the Beijing camp, stood in two rows and bowed to the young man in python suit.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment, glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "It has been raining since the beginning of summer these days, and the troops are unable to attack the city. How is the morale?"
Kang Hong said: "The commander is chaste, the soldiers are slack, the generals are frustrated, and morale is quite low. If we continue like this, we will run out of food and fodder, and we will not be able to capture the capital of Yanzhou."
Previously, I felt that the Duke of Wei was very organized in arranging his troops and attacking the city and plundering the territory. However, today, under the fortified city, it seems that... he is not omnipotent?
Zhang Dai did not have so many ideas and said: "Duke Wei, the morale of my men is normal, but if we drag it on for a long time and the school is too anxious to fight, it will easily dampen morale."
Jia Heng nodded and asked, "I intend to flood the capital of Yanzhou. What do you think?"
Kang Hong, the admiral of Hebei, his eyes lit up and he said in a daze: "Commander Jie wants to open up the Si River and flood Yanzhou?"
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "Since leading the troops to Yanzhou Prefecture, the war has been delayed for a long time, and now it is time for a decisive victory. Otherwise, the city of Yanzhou Prefecture will not be captured for a long time, and my army of 100,000 will be exhausted every day. Especially today, we will not be able to win.
After the summer rain, the roads were muddy, making it more inconvenient to transport grain. The Jinkou Dam was opened, flooding Yanzhou's capital city, and the situation in Shandong was quickly determined."
It looked inconspicuous, but it had been almost a month since he left the capital.
Kang Hong was secretly convinced and said, "What Marshal Jie said is true."
Jia Heng said: "General Zhang, you lead people to Jinkou Dam, open the dam in the direction of Yanzhou Prefecture, and let the river water flow into Yanzhou Prefecture."
"The last general will receive the order." Kang Hong responded with clasped fists.
"Little Prince Mu, I will leave it to Prince Mu to build the raft and prepare for the siege. Get the raft and related boats ready as soon as possible." Jia Heng turned to look calmly at Mu Sheng and warned.
Mu Sheng looked firm, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wei."
Jia Heng turned to look at Xiao Lin and ordered: "General Xiao, first move the camp to the high ground of Shenguantun and prepare to attack the city."
Xiao Lin's face became solemn, and he also raised his hands and said yes.
After the generals received their orders, they strode away from the military tent and began to get busy.
Chen Xiao turned to look at the young man and suddenly said: "After the water attack, if Chen Yuan is captured, Hauge, what are you going to do with him?"
Jia Heng said: "If you can kill them, kill them. If you can't kill them, after they are convicted, they will be sent to the capital. Recently, I am worried that something will happen in the capital."
As he spoke, he looked at the girl with burning eyes, seemingly inquiring.
Chen Xiao pursed her pink lips and said softly: "There may not be any changes in Beijing."
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and asked: "Xiaoxiao, are you hiding something from me?"
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, thought for a while, then leaned into Jia Heng's ear and whispered a few words.
Jia Heng's mind moved slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, he grabbed Chen Xiao's arm and said in shock: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The people from the White Lotus Sect still want to assassinate the Supreme Emperor, and plan to use the time when the Supreme Emperor is attending his funeral to launch a coup in Gongling.
"I just heard Master mention it occasionally, but I'm not sure what Master's purpose is." Chen Xiao's bright, charming eyes seemed to dodge under his brows, and he said softly.
Jia Heng's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "The purpose is just to force the emperor to abdicate and support a certain vassal king to ascend the throne! Chen Yuan is still in Yanzhou Mansion, and because of the assassination of the emperor, his reputation is not good, so most of them are Qi
Wang Chencheng."
"King Qi?" Chen Xiao was surprised and unsure.
Jia Heng said: "Whether it is King Qi or someone else, we need to quickly put down the rebels in Yanzhou Prefecture. I will try my best to lead Qingqi to Shenjing. If King Qi succeeds, he will definitely attack Ningrong and Rong.
With Xian Ning and Chan Yue in the palace, both of them will be in danger."
Once Qi King Chen Cheng gains power, his relatives in Ning and Rong Mansion will definitely be harmed.
Chen Xiao said softly: "Didn't you leave Xie Zaiyi and Jia Fang in Shenjing to deal with the situation?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said: "They may not have dealt with such a complicated situation."
If the White Lotus Sect takes advantage of Emperor Longzhi's funeral to launch a coup, there is still a good chance of success.
Because at the time of the funeral, both the guards at the gates of Shenjing City and the defense of the palace gates were most empty. During the chaos, a large number of palace people, clans, and ministers would send Emperor Longzhi to Gongling.
And this is the opportunity for the White Lotus Sect, not only through assassination but also through other means, to quickly take over the capital.
Chen Xiao said: "Then we have to do it as soon as possible. We must first resolve the matter in Yanzhou Prefecture before we can go back."
In fact, she hopes that Master can succeed. After he wins the battle, he will have a hundred thousand troops under his command. If there is a change in the capital, he can definitely send troops to capture the capital in the name of King Qin.
Chen Xiao thought about this, his eyes darkened a bit, and said: "You don't have to rush to capture Yanzhou Prefecture."
Jia Heng glanced at Chen Xiao and said in a clear voice: "If King Qi really forces the emperor into a desperate situation, even if he gains power in the capital for a while, he will definitely take revenge on the Jia family."
Not only the Jia family, but also the King of Wei, the King of Chu, and even Tian Niuer, Xianning, Chanyue, and Concubine Duanrong were all in danger, and their lives depended on the thought of King Chen Cheng of Qi.
That is true control by others.
In other words, in this coup, if the emperor had something to do, it would not be of much benefit to him. Instead, it would make the matter quite complicated, because the emperor had not decided on the candidate for the East Palace at all.
Of course, the emperor himself is ill, and it is hard to say how long he can survive after a coup.
…
…
At this moment, in Yanzhou City, Chen Yuan and Hauge had no idea that Jia Heng was already preparing to take advantage of the continuous heavy rains in summer and the river water to surge and flood Yanzhou.
Another two days passed, and the heavy rain continued, and the generals in the city became more and more at ease. In the heavy rain, they could not draw their bows, and it was difficult to use the cannons and thunderbolts. The soldiers in Yanzhou City
Soldiers and generals do not need to worry about the arrival of Han court officials.
I felt relieved and could drink and have fun in the city with peace of mind, enjoying the rare peace in the war.
In the government office, in the early morning, the rain was much lighter than in the previous few days, but the sky was still a bit gray, and it seemed that a new heavy rain was still brewing.
Chen Yuan finished his breakfast and went to the back hall of the government office. He looked at Hauge and Li Yanqing, and the three of them discussed the next move of the army.
"With the death of the Supreme Emperor, it won't be long before the capital will launch an attack," Chen Yuan said.
Li Yanqing asked: "What if the Duke of Wei does not retreat and insists on attacking the city?"
"Then we have to capture it. After the Chen Cheng brothers in the capital come to the throne, they will liquidate the Jia family and then reduce their military power. But they can be captured with a knife and a pen." Chen Yuan smiled and said confidently.
Li Yanqing frowned, but he was not so optimistic.
With an army of 100,000 people, how could they be captured without any help?
In fact, Li Yanqing still estimated conservatively that he could still mobilize soldiers from the Jiangnan camp.
Li Yanqing thought for a while and then advised: "Li thinks that Duke Wei will definitely not sit back and wait for death, and he will not lead troops to serve the king."
Chen Yuan's face paused slightly, and he sneered and said: "He can't leave Shandong when he confronts us. As long as he dares to withdraw his troops, it will be a defeat."
Hauge was sipping tea and listening quietly to the conversation between the two.
Just as several people were discussing with each other, a panicked voice from a soldier came faintly from outside the official office, saying: "Your Majesty, Young Master, it's not good. There is a flood outside the southeast gate, and the flood is rushing towards the city."
Because of the panic, my voice stuttered a little.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yuan was shocked and said: "What kind of flood?"
Hauge frowned, his face also showing confusion, and asked: "What kind of water can there be outside the city?"
At this moment, a burly young man entered the hall and said urgently: "The imperial court has dug up the Jinkou Dam on the Si River."
Hauge suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Water flooding and siege?"
After all, I am familiar with the art of war, so how could I not know the secret behind it?
Then, he looked at Chen Yuan, who had an ugly expression on his side, and said in a low voice: "The heavy rain has not stopped in the past few days, and the water level of the Si River has risen sharply. Duke Wei has come up with a way to flood the city. Let's go to the city gate now."
The site chosen for the construction of Yanzhou City was much lower than usual, and now the river is flooding, which is very likely to submerge the city walls and rush into the city.
"Sir, the water from outside the city is pouring in." At this time, a former commanding officer of a certain palace guard in Shandong entered the government office hall, looked at Chen Yuan with a fearful face, and said to himself.
Hauge said urgently: "Quick, go to the city gate first and find all the ships in the city."
Once the river breaks down the city wall or floods the city, the tens of thousands of guardsmen and horses will be turned into fish and shrimps.
This Yanzhou is indeed a dead city!
Li Yanqing mused: "The officers and soldiers must have moved the camp to a higher place in advance and prepared ships. The Denglai Navy is just outside the city. The consequences will be disastrous."
Chen Yuan said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
At this moment, Chen Yuan looked flustered and seemed to be a little panicked. The three of them led the soldiers from the government office all the way to the city head.
As they walked along the streets, some river water could already be seen flowing into the city. Everyone climbed up the city wall and looked outside. They saw that the floodwaters from the southeast were rushing towards them.
More than ten days of heavy rain roared in at this moment, crashing into the city wall with a huge and devastating force.
"The wall collapsed!"
At this moment, accompanied by the young and strong shouts of the soldiers on the city wall, the flood carried an unspeakable destructive force and headed towards the city wall to destroy it.
Many soldiers were not familiar with the nature of water and cried for their fathers and mothers. They whirled and disappeared in the floods without struggling a few times.
The floods destroyed the houses and swallowed everything. As time passed, the capital city of Yanzhou gradually turned into a landless country.
Fire and water are merciless, how can a mortal man resist the mighty power of heaven and earth?
The city gate tower where Chen Yuan, Hauge, Li Yanqing and others were located was built with green strips of stone and looked much sturdier. It was not a big deal under the impact of the flood.
Chen Yuan felt his hands and feet were cold and asked: "Prince Su..."
The hegemony of Wang Tu seems to be out of reach at all under the impact of this flood.
Hauge sighed and looked outside the city that had become Zeguo. He felt helpless and said: "Now that the matter has come to an end, let's face the enemy."
At this time, the surrounding guards couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that when the flood flooded Yanzhou City, one boat after another gradually approached Yanzhou Fucheng.
The boats and rafts were all loaded with Han soldiers. At this moment, they were either holding bows and arrows, or holding long swords, and were besieging the city of Yanzhou.
"Whizzing!!!"
Arrows were shot at the rebels on the top of the city. With the sound of "pop, pop", some soldiers were hit by arrows and died immediately.
Hauge looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The Han army is coming."
Mu Sheng stood at the head of the boat and led the navy into Yanzhou City.
A large number of soldiers from the surrounding boats were also on the boats, shooting at some soldiers who were familiar with the water and swam towards the city wall.
A large number of Han troops also advanced into the capital of Yanzhou by boat and began to shoot and kill the soldiers struggling in the water.
At this moment, the rebels were almost completely unprepared. There were only a few thousand people on the city wall, helplessly watching the large number of Han troops gradually attacking, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Jia Heng was now standing on the ship with Chen Xiao, looking up at Hauge standing on the gate tower of Yanzhou Fucheng, and asked: "Is that Chen Yuan next to Hauge?"
He certainly recognized Hauge, and he was also familiar with Li Yanqing beside him. The one who could stand side by side with the two of them should be Chen Yuan.
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "It's him."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, I will catch him later and hand him over to you."
Chen Xiao frowned, with a face as white as jade and a skin as cold as frost, and said: "You can send it to the capital and let the person answer the question."
Sensing that Chen Xiao was not in a good mood, Jia Heng didn't say much else.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Han army were already fighting with the rebels and the White Lotus cult bandits. The Han army had more troops this time, so it had an advantage in strength and quickly cleared an open space.
Hauge also saw the boy in python suit on the raft at this moment, and recognized Jia Heng at a glance.
The so-called enemies are particularly jealous when they meet.
On Hauge's forehead, blue veins popped out, and his eyes were ferocious, as if he was looking for someone to devour.
Jia Heng’s son! He and Jia Heng’s son are at odds with each other!
At this moment, Chen Yuan focused more on Chen Xiao's face beside Jia Heng, his brows were condensed, and he was a little surprised.
At this time, Hebei Admiral Kang Hong and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding had already led their infantry to the front, climbed onto the city wall that was just above the river water, and led their troops to charge and kill.
Hauge's Eight Banners Xiaorui and Li Yanqing also fought against the government troops.
At this time, Hebei Admiral Kang Hong was holding a bright long knife. The tiger danced in his palm, causing the wind to fly. Wherever it passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, also led his personal guards, scaled the city wall, and charged to kill his soldiers.
At this moment, several soldiers came over and reported: "Your Majesty, Young Master, the ships in the city have been collected. There are about five or six ships, which are sufficient at any time."
If we collect ships in the huge Yanzhou city, we can still collect some, but some ships are too small to serve as warships.
If you are just running for your life, there is no problem.
Hauge looked anxious and persuaded: "Brother Chen, Yanzhou is now a dead place, and it is really not suitable to stay for a long time."
Mentioning this matter, Hauge couldn't help but feel a little resentment in his heart. At the beginning, he proposed not to defend Yanzhou Fucheng, but Chen Yuan insisted on defending it here.
Chen Yuan suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and made a decisive decision: "Let's go!"
If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. The current situation is critical and it is indeed not advisable to stay for a long time.
After Chen Yuan, Hauge, Li Yanqing and others got on the boat, the surrounding soldiers rowed the boats with all their strength and began to try to break out of the siege towards the northern provinces.
The terrain in the north is higher. As long as you reach the high ground, you can escape into the Tai'an Mountains and use the dense forests to escape.
Jia Heng was standing on the ship, looking at Chen Yuan and others who were escaping hastily from a distance, sneered and shouted: "Chen Yuan and Hauge want to run away."
He quickly ordered: "Let Zhang Dai send ships around to encircle and pursue us!"
At this moment, Hebei Admiral Kang Hong and Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding also killed the soldiers blocking the road and rushed towards Hauge, Chen Yuan and others.
At this moment, Li Yanqing led his brothers to quickly come to support him.
There was a hint of coldness on Jia Heng's face. He took the long knife handed by Chen Xiao, gradually approached the ship, and shouted to the ship where Hauge was: "Why is Prince Su so panicked like a bereaved dog?"
Hauge ignored such mocking remarks and directly urged his men to row quickly.
But Jia Heng had more sergeants, many of whom were sailors of the Denglai Navy. They paddled the raft faster, and soon they caught up with the side of the ship.
Jia Heng snorted coldly and jumped to the deck of the boat where Hauge was. He waved his sword and the three soldiers rowing the boat let out a scream and fell into the water, soaked in blood.
Chen Xiao, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment, and then followed several Jinyi palace guards and jumped towards the ship where Hauge was.
When Hauge heard the movement at the stern of the boat, he was frightened. He drew out the saber from his waist and glared angrily: "Jia Heng, my son!"
Jia Heng shouted coldly: "Hauge, Yanzhou is your burial place!"
In the last battle in the Taiwan Strait, Haug was allowed to escape. This time, Haug will not be allowed to escape again.
As he spoke, he swung a hundred-refined long sword in his palm like the wind, slashing towards Hauge. He slashed in the air, the blade was as sharp as the frost coming towards him.
Hauge narrowed his eyes slightly, and faced the attack with the long knife in his palm. The crisp sound of "clang..." spread everywhere, making the surrounding soldiers feel their heads buzzing when they heard it.
Hauge staggered, his mind was shaken, and his eyes were inexplicably horrified.
This Jia Heng's child's martial arts seems to have improved again?!
Holding a sword with one arm is a natural power, and even Jia Heng's opponent, who has gradually reached the peak of his martial arts, Jia Heng only slashed down with one sword, which was extremely powerful. However, Hauge attacked him, and he couldn't help but feel tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and stars in his eyes.
Hauge calmed down and felt a secret hatred in his heart. The murderous intent in his eyes was as cold as frost.
It wasn't that he was so weak in the past. It was just that after losing his arm, he lacked strength and could no longer fight against the young man in front of him.
However, at this moment, Jia Heng slashed at him again.
When the soldiers beside Hauge saw this, they were startled and hurriedly stepped forward to protect him. However, Jia Heng sneered, the sword light turned sharply, and he saw the blood shining brightly, and several good heads flying into the sky.
Then, Chen Xiao also led the Jinyi soldiers and the Beijing camp generals to fight against the Eight Banners Xiaorui under Hauge. The swords flashed, screams continued, and Jurchen bannermen kept falling in a pool of blood.
Hauge's expression suddenly changed, and he was already filled with inexplicable fear, but the long knife in his palm met the attack, and then the weapons collided again, causing sparks to fly.
"clang!"
Hauge's body was shaken violently, as if he had been shaken by a huge force, and an abnormal blush appeared on both sides of his cheeks, clearly indicating that he had been seriously injured just now.
In fact, as Jia Heng has been in the war for a long time, his strength has become stronger and his sword skills have become more exquisite than before. In terms of force alone, he is unparalleled in the world and unrivaled.
The sword skills flowed in a steady stream, almost like a violent storm, blocking Hauge from all directions at once.
Hauge roared angrily, and seemed to still want to muster up his courage, but under the power of the ten-level swordsmanship, he was already exhausted after a short time, and dangers abounded.
Finally, at this moment, Hauge's eyes widened and he looked at the oncoming sword light, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
Will Hauge be buried here today?
Hauge had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, and the scenes of the boy leading troops since his youth flashed back before his eyes.
"Bang..."
Accompanied by an unspeakable huge pain, Haug screamed in pain, felt his head buzzing, and then fainted without knowing what happened to him.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Tied!"
Having Hauge tied up and escorted to Shenjing, where he was sentenced to death, would undoubtedly boost the morale of the Han soldiers and civilians!
At this moment, looking around, the Zhouchuan navy was also chasing the rebels from the Guard and the White Lotus cult bandits. Not long after, they saw the rebels from the Guard abandoning their weapons and surrendering.
On the other side, Li Yanqing also had a fight with Kang Hong, the Hebei admiral. Although Kang Hong was a veteran, his sword skills were superb and as dense as water, entangled with Li Yanqing like a cage.
Seeing that Kang Hong was unable to defeat Li Yanqing, Mu Sheng was also commanding the sergeants from a distance, rowing a boat and quickly approaching, ready to help.
At this moment, Mu Sheng took off the bow and arrow from his back, opened his bow and nocked an arrow in the direction of Li Yanqing. The bow was released suddenly like a full moon.
"Whoosh!"
A black arrow shot through the drizzle and towards Li Yanqing's face.
Li Yanqing was worthy of being a general who had narrowly escaped death many times. At this moment, when he felt the sound of arrows, a warning sign suddenly occurred in his heart, and he dodged aside without saying a word.
At this time, Kang Hong saw that Li Yanqing had missed the opportunity and shouted angrily. The long knife in his palm was like a sword wrapped in light, and he swept towards Li Yanqing's abdomen.
What a great Li Yanqing!
At this moment, after dodging the arrows, he still swung the sword to the side with a fierceness and agility.
"clang!!!"
The weapons struck each other, and the sound of gold and iron was heard again.
A strange color flashed in Kang Hong's eyes, he snorted coldly and said: "There are some tricks!"
