Yang Boquan was a pragmatic person, and he was not scolded by others. After setting up a large tent outside the new city, he began to fill the trenches and moats with soil.Tan Dayong saw that Yang Boquan's formation was about to attack the city, so he mobilized archers to guard the moat, and prepared large stones and sandbags to defend the city.

Although Tan Dayong tried his best to defend the moat, he failed to hold up his family's naval battle. Seven days later, Yang Baiquan's army crossed the moat and hit the base of the city wall.In a blink of an eye, the city wall was covered with ladders, and several rushing vehicles kept hitting the city gate. On Tan Dayong's side, sand, stones, torches, and yakshas were all on the line. There was a strong smell of blood.

Zhou Yanhuan, Chen Wendong and others were all covered in blood. While throwing stones down the city, they used knives and guns to kill the enemy soldiers who climbed up the top of the city.

Wars have always been cruel. Soldiers at the bottom are like ants, climbing up one after another, and dying one after another.In the front are the enemy's swords and rolling stones, and in the back are the officers supervising the battle. There may be a glimmer of life in the front, but death is undoubtedly in the back.

Yang Boquan's first siege lasted for three days and three nights. Not only did he fail to capture Xincheng, but he also lost nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers.Seeing Yang Baiquan's retreat, Tan Dayong and others breathed a sigh of relief. Their losses in this battle were not small. The soldiers were exhausted after fighting for such a long time. If they continue to fight, will they be able to hold on? Still two to say.

After the war, the ground was in a mess. Before Chen Wendong and others had time to rest, they began to clean the battlefield. On the one hand, they wanted to collect the corpses of the dead soldiers, and on the other hand, they were worried that the corpses would breed plague if they stayed for a long time.

Chen Wendong looked at the mutilated corpses inside and outside the city wall, and felt a little sad. Among the dead, there were his own comrades in arms and some soldiers from the enemy. They all died here just because of the king's words.In fact, when the two armies were fighting, Chen Wendong didn't think so much, and even felt a little pleasure.On weekdays, he had entanglements with Zhou Yanhuan, and he still pretended to be nonchalant. The depression and depression in his heart can be imagined, and the battlefield has become the only place for him to vent his dissatisfaction.However, when he stood on the city wall, looked at the corpses everywhere, and smelled the strong smell of blood, he was shocked, and a deep sense of guilt welled up in his heart.

When Chen Wendong went down the tower, he decided to adjust his mentality well. The so-called not breaking out in silence, but becoming abnormal in silence, he now has a tendency to become abnormal.

After cleaning up the battlefield and taking a short rest for a day, Tan Dayong called his cronies to hold a secret meeting, mainly to discuss the next step of combat deployment.They guard the new city and occupy a favorable location, but if they want to defeat Yang Baiquan, they can only use surprise soldiers. In addition, they also need to guard against Yang Baiquan's sneak attack.

After some discussion, Tan Dayong adopted the idea of ​​Zhu Xinbi, the dog's head army strategist, to build a dam on the moat and launch a water attack on Yang Baiquan.This moat, also known as the Jiuqu River, is the largest river in the new city. It passes through half of the new city and half a circle around the outer city before winding its way to the southeast.As the Jiuqu River flowed toward the outer city, a small lake was formed due to the low-lying terrain. The water attack proposed by Zhu Xinbi was to use this small lake to store water and submerge Yang Baiquan's army in the low-lying place in one fell swoop.This is also a clever plan, as long as they can control the water well, they can give Yang Baiquan a heavy blow without firing a knife or a gun.

Tan Dayong handed over to Zhou Yanhuan and Li Sanshun the responsibility for building dams and water storage.Of course, this matter had to be done in secret, if Yang Boquan got wind and moved the camp to a higher place, their efforts would be in vain.In any year, there is no shortage of spies, especially in wartimes. If they are not guaranteed, there will be enemy undercover agents around them.Therefore, the people sent to repair the dam were strictly screened, and Zhou Yanhuan did not allow them to have any contact with the outside world until the matter was not successful.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, when Yang Baiquan's army was sleeping soundly, a flood fell from the sky and flooded the barracks.Since most of the people were sleeping, they became drowned ghosts before they realized what was going on.Those officers and soldiers who escaped from the river finally climbed to the high ground, but fell into Tan Dayong's ambush circle.When they escaped from the water, some of them didn't even wear clothes, let alone weapons. After falling into an ambush, they were powerless to resist. Except for those who were good at kung fu, they all died under Tan Dayong's sword and gun. .

After this battle, Yang Boquan's vitality was severely injured. Of the [-] troops brought from the Central Plains, only [-] were left in one night. One can imagine the tragic situation.This was the first time in Yang Boquan's life that he suffered such a disastrous defeat. He looked at the corpses of officers and soldiers strewn all over the place after the flood, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his chest, and he fell backwards.

King Zhou Yanhao of Jingbian was overjoyed when he received the good news. He decided to visit Tan Dayong and other soldiers in Xincheng, and also see Yang Baiquan's desolation.King Jingbian's act of laboring the army this time caused him to meet an unexpected person, which led to an event that shocked the northwest.

When Tan Dayong received the news that King Jingbian was patrolling the camp, the guard of honor of King Jingbian had already arrived in Xincheng. up.

King Jingbian came here this time to see Yang Baiquan's jokes, so the first place he was going to was the city tower. Tan Dayong was so anxious that he could only follow to the city tower.

Zhou Yanhao looked at the [-] soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty who had shrunk in the distance, and felt relieved all over his body. He couldn't help laughing out loud. The moment he turned around to go down the tower, he was caught by a figure.

"Like! It's so similar!" Zhou Yanhao's originally smiling face suddenly turned a layer of frost, and he froze there as he muttered these words.

The guards beside him called him several times before Zhou Yanhao came back to his senses. At this moment, there was no trace of joy on his face, "Go! Call the sergeant in silver armor just now!"

After a while, Zhou Yanhuan was brought before King Jingbian.Zhou Yanhuan was supposed to be on duty today, and he was patrolling the city, but he heard the news that King Jingbian had come to labor.Zhou Yanhuan wanted to hide away quietly, but he didn't want to. He was a bit sloppy today, and Zhou Yanhao happened to be at the opposite end. In desperation, he could only hide his head among a group of soldiers.

If Zhou Yanhuan had been hiding like this, Zhou Yanhao would not have noticed him, but he was worried that Zhou Yanhao would summon the person in charge of the city defense soon, so he wanted to sneak down to the city while Zhou Yanhao was not paying attention.Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanhuan didn't just turn his back like normal, just when he was slipping out, Zhou Yanhao happened to see his side face.

Zhou Yanhao stared at Zhou Yanhuan coldly, and shouted: "Raise your head!"

Zhou Yanhuan's heart trembled, but he didn't show it at all, and slowly raised his head.

"What's your name? Where do you live?" Zhou Yanhao stared at Zhou Yanhuan's face, the expression on his face changed several times, his body trembled slightly, and it was almost difficult to maintain his majestic image.

Zhou Yanhuan replied with trepidation: "Return to my king, the young general Zhou Bingchang is from Linping County."

Zhou Yanhao looked at Zhou Yanhuan for a while, asked some irrelevant things, and then left the tower with Tan Dayong and others.Now, how can he still be in the mood to inspect the defense, he can remember Zhou Bingchang, if he is really that guy's bastard... Humph!It is absolutely impossible to stay!

Tan Dayong sent King Jingbian away, and went to find Zhou Yanhuan in a hurry. Now Zhou Yanhao has become suspicious, and his good son-in-law may be in danger.
