Astral Apostle Chapter 259: Breakout

For the next period of time, the imperial army and the Dragon King Village are still in a standoff

However, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court slowed down their offensive, shrank their fronts, and stationed at a distance, no longer directly approaching the front line of Longwangzhai.

In the camp, Lingfengzi listened to military discussions as usual every day, but Ma Zhen only said that the troops would not move, but did not explain the reason.

But the officers who attended the meeting found something unusual. Huang Ping, who was also a senior general, disappeared for many days

When someone asked about this, Ma Zhen said that Huang Ping received the military order and led his troops to receive a batch of important materials allocated by the imperial court to prevent them from being cut off by bandits, etc.

Everyone believed it and didn't ask any further questions. The Lingfengzi in the idle state just faithfully recorded the information and passed it to Longwangzhai quietly, and did not take the initiative to ask the truth.

This is actually a piece of false information, which Ma Zhen used as an excuse to deal with everyone, just to conceal Huang Ping's movements.

Actually, at this time, Huang Ping took his order and left quietly with his troops, heading to the upstream estuary of Huyang, and began to implement the plan to burst the embankment.

This task is of great importance and cannot be missed. In order to hide his deeds, Huang Ping did not lead a large number of troops and horses.

Due to the implementation of the five strategies for breaking thieves, the official army concentrated on controlling many civilians scattered in the countryside, which led to the reduction of the eyesight of Longwangzhai scattered in the wild, which brought a lot of convenience to Huang Ping's covert operations .

In order to prevent leaks, the soldiers in Huang Ping's team did not know the details of the mission, and thought they were going to move back to fight.

The group marched cautiously all the way, and it took some time before they finally reached their destination.

Huyang, Dingbokou.

This is a river embankment that has been built for many years, dating back to before the establishment of the Great Xia Kingdom.

There are many rivers in Huyang, the largest of which is called the Shahe River. It runs from west to east and runs through the Central Plains. Dingbokou is on the bank of the Shahe River.

However, the Shahe River floods all the year round, and the flood control effect of Dingbokou has been somewhat unable to keep up. Therefore, in recent years, there have been frequent floods in Huyang.

But even so, this is still an important embankment. Although it cannot prevent flooding, it can at least be controlled to a certain extent, so that the flood will not break out completely.

Huang Ping arrived with the troops and asked the soldiers to stand by for the time being, while he looked at the surging river, his eyes flashing.

The lieutenant on the side asked carefully: "General, what are we doing here?"

"The commander has orders to open the Dingbokou river bank and flood the bandits."

Huang Ping's tone was indifferent, unable to hear feelings.

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly: "Is this true? If the Shahe river bursts and floods, then the people of Huyang will...

Before he finished speaking, Huang Ping turned his head to look at him with cold eyes.

As he looked at the lieutenant, his voice gradually decreased, and he finally kept his mouth shut,

Seeing this, Huang Ping withdrew his gaze, his tone was unquestionable, and said coldly:

"Pass on our military orders, break the embankment!"

The lieutenant was helpless and quickly sent the order down.

Until then, the army of the trip did not know the goal of the trip, and the officers and soldiers were in an uproar and couldn't believe it.

The top is so hot?!

This kind of sinful act of cutting off a son and a grandson immediately met with resistance from many soldiers.

However, disobeying the military order is a taboo, and will be dealt with by military law. The officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to do so and began to tear open the embankment.

But not long after, a few villagers suddenly appeared nearby, hurried over and shouted anxiously:

"Generals, this embankment cannot be dug!"

The officers and soldiers who were working heard the sound, turned their heads and looked over in amazement,

These villagers who suddenly appeared were all dressed in ragged clothes, with dark skin and calluses on their hands. At first glance, they looked like farmers working all year round.

The guards patrolling all around immediately controlled these anxious villagers.

Huang Ping's eyes narrowed, and people brought them to the front.

Into the tent, the peasants were embarrassed and performed a nondescript etiquette.

"Who is coming, please sign up to come..."

Huang Ping opened his mouth to question.

Not long after, he figured out the origins of these people.

It turned out that there was a small settlement with more than 20 families nearby, and the location was relatively remote and secluded.

These farmers are from the village. They happened to bump into this team of officers and soldiers when they were out. They didn't plan to show up

Seeing the actions of the officers and soldiers on the embankment, several people couldn't sit still and couldn't care about other things. They wanted to run out to dissuade them,

"This great general, this Dingbo mouth cannot be dug. If it collapses, there will be floods!"

"Yeah, if it breaks here, it will suffer for thousands of miles!"

Several farmers were nervous and persuaded.

Huang Ping was noncommittal and asked his personal soldiers to take the farmer down.

Then, he turned towards the lieutenant and said lightly:

"Let these mud legs lead the way, send hundreds of soldiers and horses to follow, and use all the villagers as coolies to help us dig the embankment... In addition, our actions need to be kept secret, and we must not leave any leaks. After completion, they will be executed as many as possible."

"...the end will follow."

The lieutenant was silent for two seconds before accepting the order.

He strode out of the military tent with an angry look on his face, but he finally turned into a helpless look and ordered soldiers.

It didn't take much time for the officers and soldiers to capture the civilians in the nearby villages and drive them into coolies.

In order to save their lives, these villagers can only do the same

As the embankment was torn apart step by step, the water pressure gradually increased, and the roaring water soon caused the embankment to burst.

At this stage, manpower is no longer needed. Thousands of hectares of river water are poured out, and the breach will continue to expand. In the end, it can only be filled with human lives.

Huang Ping then stopped the troops, killed all the captives, and threw the corpses into the river.

The dead corpse floated up and down in the river, and went down the river.

Huang Ping didn't take a second glance, and immediately led the troops to quickly take away, successfully retreating

Leaving only the angry river rushing, breaking the embankment, spilling more and more, and flowing farther and farther,

Somewhere in Huyang, in the woods.

Zhou Jing and a thousand soldiers are resting here, but there are only about a thousand soldiers.

He didn't sit in the cottage these days, and he personally led his troops outside to use rogue tactics, harassing the official and army to the point of death.

Because he mainly attacked the enemy with his own force, he did not bring many troops and horses, but only made a necessary response.

In this period of time, I attacked many times, and the results were very rich. Many officers and troops were destroyed, and a large number of officers and soldiers were unable to retreat.

"Continuing to exert pressure like this, the imperial army will sooner or later be unable to carry it away. Now the situation is favorable for us, I don't know how long the enemy will be able to hold on... Speaking of which, the officers and soldiers seem to be helpless now, do they really want to give up the conquest already?"

Zhou Jing thought to himself while biting the jerky.

At this moment, the rogue who was out in the wind suddenly ran in.

"Report! The owner of the village, two villagers came to ask for an interview, saying they were in a hurry to report!"

"Bring it here."

It's not surprising that Zhou Jing recovered.

He ran around in the Huyang boundary during this period of time and did not hide his whereabouts. Although he did not have a fixed location, occasionally villagers who were not under the control of the government could bump into him and come to see him.

Soon, two dusty villagers were brought in.

Seeing Zhou Jing sitting with a golden sword, the two immediately bowed their heads and bowed eagerly;

"Chen Zhaizhu, the big thing is bad, the flood broke out again!"

Zhou Jing heard Yizheng: "Flood disaster? Shouldn't it be the flood season yet?"

"It's true, our village is flooded!"

The two villagers said their words with certainty, and their faces were anxious

"Could it be that something happened upstream, where the embankment had been in disrepair for a long time and had a breach?"

Zhou Jing frowned.

Is it accidental or man-made?

Could it be that the officers and soldiers are going to attack with water and flood the Seventh Army? But the two sides are currently in the upper reaches, and it seems that there is no stalemate battle.

And Bill's side, there is no military transfer information about the corresponding officers and soldiers~IndoMTL.com~ He did not think in another direction for the first time... The court, as the orthodox in the world, has such "boldness" to give up The territory of a province under its jurisdiction directly flooded the entire area, breaking the jar and breaking the lower limit once again.

Although it is also very sinister to drive the people to attack, the officials have a name anyway, and all they drive are "cooperating with the enemy and conspiracy to commit crimes

People".

And when the embankment is flooded and the lake is flooded, there is no name at all. Regardless of the survival of the people here, there is a lack of great virtue, and there is no **** to give birth to a child.

"Okay, let's go and have a look. If it's easy to do, I'll send someone to govern the stockade." Zhou Jing immediately made a decision.

Shuiyi is the main disaster in Huyang. Since this place is regarded as the foundation, it must be dealt with whether it is accidental or artificial.

Furthermore, this is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. In the past two years, when the government was not doing well, Longwangzhai would occasionally treat the water and save people, and it was already a familiar way.

"Thank you, Zhaizhu, Zhaizhu!"

The two villagers immediately thanked Dade and thanked him again and again.

At this time, one of them seemed to remember something and said:

"By the way, on the way we came, we found the footprints left by a large group of people passing by on the southeast fork road. I don't know if they were the people of the village owner."

"Southeast? We don't seem to have gone there."

A leader next to him interjected in confusion

Hearing this, Zhou Jing's eyes flashed.

Since it's not my own, then this unknown team is probably from the imperial court.

Appears suddenly in the vicinity, most likely with no intentions.

"Catch up with this group first, and arrest them for questioning."

Zhou Jing didn't hesitate, made a decision immediately and called the children to set off.
