"Drive, drive, drive..."

The clatter of horse hooves and the sound of urging horses played a different kind of music by the Sophora River.

The war horse beneath him was galloping like flying. Just as he was about to rush into the surging locust water, Zhongshan Gong Ji Heng, who was on the horseback, suddenly exerted force with his hands.

"Xilulu..."

Amidst a long neighing sound, the horse that stopped for an instant lifted its front hooves into the air.

The legs tightly clamped the horse's belly. After a while, the horse under Zhongshan Gong Ji Heng finally landed safely.

After staring ahead and staring at the surging locust water for a long time, Ji Heng looked at Yuechi and Long Jia, who were already beside him.

"Prime Minister, General Long Jia, I want to ask for a good strategy to defeat the enemy. How did you two bring me to the bank of the Sophora River?"

"Your Majesty, the best way for us to defeat the enemy is this locust water." Pointing to the locust water flowing in front of him, Yuechi immediately explained.

"Sophora water?" Hearing that his prime minister mentioned the sophora water, Ji Heng couldn't help but have some doubts on his face.

"It's this Sophora Water."

Faced with Ji Heng's doubts, Long Jia on the side also immediately spoke up to explain.

"Zhongshan Gong, if we talk about the great power and the speed of defeating the enemy, how many things can be defeated by water and fire?"

Water and fire are ruthless and can kill people in an instant; but on the battlefield, water and fire are also sharp weapons in the hands of generals.

In later generations, Zhou Yu, the governor of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, wiped out more than 200,000 Cao Cao's troops in the battle of Chibi. Guan Yu also used the power of rain to defeat Cao Cao's army and captured him alive.

If we take a closer look at the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, if we want to say which country is good at using water as a weapon, Zhao Guo must be on the list.

In 455 BC, Zhiyao, the head of the Zhi family in the Jin Dynasty, led the Han family and the Wei family to besiege the Zhao family's Jinyang City.

Just when Zhiyao dug up the Fen River and Jinyang City was in danger, Zhao Wuxie, the head of the Zhao family, sent his retainer Zhang Mengtan to persuade the heads of the Han family and the Wei family.

Afterwards, Zhao Wuxie sent people to raid and occupy the dike, allowing the Fen water originally directed to the Zhao family to pour into the Zhi family's military camp.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the Zhi family's camp, the three parties of the Zhao family, the Han family, and the Wei family came out at the same time and killed the Zhi family soldiers to a great defeat.

This battle in Jinyang not only laid the foundation for the subsequent division of the three families into Jin, but also left a word for future generations, treason.

Born and prospered by water, the later Zhao State also relied on floods to defeat enemy armies and save itself more than once.

After hearing this explanation from Long Jia, looking at the surging locust water in front of him, Ji Heng suddenly had some enlightenment in his heart.

"Could it be that the prime minister, General Long Jia, is planning to follow the example of Zhao Xiangzi Zhao Wuxie and use the power of Sophora River to break through the city defense of Haoyi?"

"Yes and no."

He had already somewhat understood their plans, but now Long Jia's answer made Ji Heng even more confused.

Yes and no, so is it yes or no?

"Your Majesty, although Zhi Yao of the Zhi clan dug up the Fen River, he was not able to take down Jinyang City. Why?"

"Because Zhang Mengtan, the retainer of the Zhao family, has been operating in Jinyang City for many years, he has already managed this place, the foundation of the Zhao family, to be extremely solid."

"This gave Zhao the confidence to support himself in the Fen River."

After saying these words, Lechi turned his right hand and moved towards the city in the distance that stood to the north of Huaishui.

"Although Haoyi is not as strong as Jinyang back then, as a fortress to resist the southward movement of our Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhao will not take it lightly."

"Coupled with the 20,000 elite Zhao troops stationed there at the moment, it is not impossible for our army to capture Haoyi, but it will definitely take a long time."

Xiangguo Lechi's words immediately calmed down Ji Heng's originally excited heart.

Since Haoyi cannot be captured in a short period of time using Sophora River, then why did the three of them come to the bank of Sophora River.

"Zhongshan Gong, don't forget, our army's goal this time is not Haoyi."

Who said that the purpose of Huaishui is to break through the city defenses of Haoyi? Couldn't it be used to create fighter planes for the Zhongshan Army?

Later that day, with a loud noise, Huaishui suddenly broke through most of the embankment that had been broken open by the Zhongshan Army.

Along the simple river channel dug by the Zhongshan Army in advance, the surging Sophora River rushed directly towards Haoyi like a wild horse that ran away.

There is no doubt that the power of the water, which is beyond the control of today's manpower, hit Haoyi directly, smashing the originally strong city wall to the point of crumbling.

Zhao Wang Zhao Zhong, who was in Haoyi, naturally felt the power of nature.

Before he even had time to recover from the deafening loud noise, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly appeared in front of him.

"King Qi, it's not good."

"What happened outside?"

"I report to your Majesty that the Zhongshan Army has opened up the dike, and now the torrential locust water has poured into Haoyi."

"What!"

A burst of horror appeared in his heart. King Zhao Zhao Zhong felt his chest was clogged, and a fishy and bitter taste emerged in his mouth.

"flutter……"

With a bang, a stream of blood arrows spurted out from the mouth of King Zhao Zhong.

At this moment, King Zhao Zhao Zhong's vision went dark, and he felt as if the world was about to collapse.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Seeing King Zhao Zhao Zhong behaving like this, the guards hurriedly stepped forward, and only heard a cry of sorrow in his ears!

"God will not bless my country Zhao, God will not bless my country Zhao!"

In the city of Haoyi, not long after King Zhao Zhao Zhong complained loudly because of the water attack by the Zhongshan Army, the news quickly spread to the camp of Prince Zhao Yu south of Fangfang City.

"boom……"

"Hmph, his Zhongshan country bullies my Zhao country too much!"

The moment Prince Zhao Yu saw the news, he stood up from his seat, and his whole face was filled with anger.

But after being angry, all that was left in his heart was anxiety, and he couldn't wait to rescue the besieged King Zhao Zhong.

Looking at the many generals present, Prince Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the Zhongshan army is attacking Haoyi by water. Haoyi is in danger."

"Haoyi is waiting for our army to come to the rescue, and the king is also waiting for our army to come to the rescue."

"Pass my general's order..."

Just when Zhao Yu was about to give the order, a voice stopped him, "Prince, wait a moment. The general thinks that Haoyi City should be rescued, but our army also needs to be alert to danger at all times."

"Once the Zhongshan Army..."

"Okay, don't say any more." Before the Zhao general could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Prince Zhao Yu, "Your Majesty is the foundation of our Zhao Kingdom. Your safety is our top priority in everything."

Looking solemnly at the surrounding Zhao generals, Zhao Yu gave the order in an unmistakable voice: "Send my order to the whole army to speed up and arrive at Haoyi as soon as possible."

"Here."

What Zhao Yu didn't know was that it was his decision that pulled all the 30,000 Zhao troops under his command into a dangerous trap.
