It’s a pity that Luo Bingji woke up too late. When the entire Yanshan Prefecture City was in a mess, the surging flood had already flowed from the distant horizon without warning and rushed straight towards Yanshan City. It was obvious that the people in the Western Xinjiang dug up the right dike of Yishui, which had already been a little low, suddenly became the center of the rapids. The vast Yishui rushed towards the Yanshan Prefecture City wall like a different route, waving waves on the city wall, and then retreated and slowly leaked to both sides.

In just one hour, there was already a vast ocean outside Yanshan Prefecture City, and the entire east, west, south and north were surrounded by floods. Due to the special geographical location of Yanshan Prefecture City, it was located in the center of the entire Yanshan Basin, and its location was relatively low. Under the careful arrangement of the people in Xijiang, the water accumulated from the dam was poured out suddenly and rushed straight to the north and west gates of Yanshan Prefecture City. Due to the poor geographical location of the Fucheng, although the four Yanshan Prefecture City gates were closed to block the water flow, the water flow outside the city was quite slowly to discharge. This also led to a very serious problem, that is, the foundation of the Yanshan Prefecture City wall was always in the flood water.

It is true that Yanshan Prefecture's wall is thick and high, but Luo Bingji ignored an important factor, that is, the geographical location of Yanshan Prefecture is on the alluvial fan in the middle of the Yishui alluvial plain. The soil at this location is fertile, but it is relatively loose, mainly brown sandy loam. The Yanshan Prefecture's wall built on this soil foundation cannot withstand long-term soaking of floods. If it were in the past, even if the Yishui River broke through the embankment, it would have long been discharged along the downstream. However, the flood has not yet receded. It is obvious that some people have also tampered with it in the downstream, and it goes without saying that they are definitely from Xijiang.

Overnight, the flood began to immerse in the city. The city of Yanshan Prefecture was filled with ice water. The weather in Yanshan in November was quite cold. Although the water had not frozen yet, it was already biting. The people in Yanshan City complained and had to build dams at their doorsteps to resist the invasion of the flood. The only hope was that the flood outside the city could recede earlier. Living in this environment was enough to make people crazy.

Luo Bingji patrolled the city wall all night. The soldiers of the two divisions had moved to a high place near the city wall. A considerable number of them simply lived directly on the city wall. He was not worried that the people in the Western Xinjiang would take the opportunity to launch an attack. No one could launch an offensive. What he was most worried about was that the city wall collapsed and caused a large amount of floods outside the city to influx, so he had to send a large number of soldiers to patrol and guard the city wall. Once an abnormal situation was discovered, he immediately blocked and reinforced it with sandbags.

However, his method of repairing the sheep's fault seemed a bit too primitive and weak. When Yanshan Prefecture ushered in a new dawn, the soldiers waiting on the city wall discovered that the flood outside the city wall not only did not retreat at all, but also showed signs of rising. This surprised the soldiers. Even though the people in Xijiang blocked the river downstream, it could only be said that the flood was diarrhea slowed down. It was already early winter, so where would the Yishui have such a large amount of water?

Only Luo Bingji knew the secret in his heart. The people of Xijiang have not been moving for so long. They must have just stored water and dug the dams of those crater lakes. The first wave of flood attack must have come from the water flow that Yishui itself has accumulated for a long time. The flood that should have slowly disappeared has not decreased, but has an upward trend. This must have been the people of Xijiang who dug up some crater lakes and began to pour down the crater lake water. Only in this way can the water level outside the city continue to rise. The purpose is very simple to wash away the water that has been soaked for a day and a night.

The walls of the palace city caused panic to the people of Yanshan City and forced themselves to surrender. However, in this case, Luo Bingji knew the inside story but could not even step out of the city gate. What else could he do? Besides urging the soldiers to pay attention to prevention and prevent the city wall from collapse, he had no other better way. The city walls of more than 20 miles were soaked in water. Who can ensure the stability of each place in this situation? Luo Bingji, who has never believed in gods and ghosts, could only secretly pray that this kind of bad luck would not happen to him.

Unfortunately, the more I don’t want to see it, the more it is coming. As the water level outside the city continues to rise, the water volume continues to grow. The flood that had calmed down after the first wave of the first wave began to stir up. It is obvious that the water flow from the upstream brought new momentum, which put great pressure on the city walls of Yanshan Prefecture City.

The surging waves continued to wash the city walls. Luo Bingji watched helplessly as the city walls began to loosen and cracks, and the city walls began to soften and collapse. Countless rescue teams were mobilized, but this seemed to not stop the occurrence of misfortune.

When a city wall on the west side finally collapsed under the impact of a huge wave, the rescue team that was facing the waves finally failed to stalk the gap before the domino effect appeared in the city wall. The huge water pressure immediately tore the city wall torn apart from the gap. Finally, sections of the city wall collapsed, and the surging flood finally roared into Yanshan Prefecture City, raging in Yanshan City in vain. No one could stop its way.

The water level of Yanshan Prefecture City immediately rose to the same as outside the city, and fell into a vast ocean. The whistling flood almost swept everything in the entire Yanshan Prefecture City in an instant. No family can resist this disaster that is almost natural disaster. The torrents in the city swept away almost everything, and more than 100,000 people were trembling in the cold early winter wind.

When things came to this point, Luo Bingji knew that everything was irreversible and the army had completely become a rescue team. In such weather, it was already a blessing to survive, let alone fighting the enemy. In November, it was approaching the freezing period. The biting flood was covered with cold wind. Luo Bingji didn't know how long this situation would last, but he knew that if he allowed this situation to be left, not many people could survive too long in this weather, whether it was ordinary people or military soldiers. Without the necessary preparation, everything had been swallowed by the flood. There was no food, no means of heating, no clothes, nothing, everything was trapped in the water, and it had to be withstand the almost frozen weather. Who could withstand how long in this situation? Not to mention the number of Western Xinjiang troops outside the city were eyeing more than 100,000!

Almost after the connection between this point, Luo Bingji did not think about having other plans. No matter how he was first a Tanghe native and then a soldier, he had done his best as a Tanghe native. As a Tanghe native, he should naturally think about the 100,000 villagers and elders. If he persisted like this, it would be a disguised massacre of the people in the city. Of course, he was just a coordinator. The real butcher should be Cheng Dayou and Li Wufeng.

Just when Luo Bingji was in despair, Cheng Dayou, who was guarding the high place outside Yanshan Prefecture City, was also anxiously waiting for the result. The situation was not as smooth as he imagined. First of all, the amount of water in Yishui was very limited. Almost two waves were released, the water that had been stored for several days was empty. The water in the crater lake was not as abundant as he estimated. In fact, after emptiing the water in several crater lakes in succession, Cheng Dayou found that he also had a little bit of a loss of skills. The entire basin almost became a swamp area. Not to mention fighting, even the action was extremely difficult. Even if the walls of Yanshan Prefecture City were washed away by floods, it seemed to be an opportunity to take advantage of it, but now his army can only watch all this. The soft and muddy roads and land can swallow everything. In this case, it would be a fantasy thing to attack Yanshan Prefecture City.

Perhaps the only way is to wait, wait for the weather to clear up slightly, and only when the ground situation is a little dry can we continue to take the next action. But in that case, will the northern army in Yanshan Prefecture have the ability to rise up and resurrect the defense capabilities of Yanshan Prefecture in these few days? Cheng Dayou did not believe this. He hoped that Luo Bingji should have a wiser decision. No matter what angle he was at, it should be a natural thing to surrender. If he still had reason and conscience. Although Cheng Dayou said that he would exchange the lives of Yanshan gentry and nobles for the fall of Yanshan Prefecture, he still had to worry about it when he really implemented this vicious strategy. Even a pure soldier would inevitably get involved in some politics. Even if you don't want to, the saying that people are in the world cannot help but describe these occasions is just as appropriate.
