Things that became cannon fodder through time travel

Chapter 15

King Jin's elite troops did not choose to attack the imperial city, but chose to send people to march at night to dig a dam a few kilometers away from Guijing City.The city of Guijing was originally a low-lying area. With continuous months of heavy rains, the amount of water accumulated in the dam had reached its peak, and the water in the moat had also risen to the highest level. The city of Guijing was no longer able to withstand this attack.

In the imperial study room, several ministers knelt on the ground, Cao Sikong was so trembling that he couldn't even speak clearly.The emperor stood in front of the table and said in a low voice, "The weakness of the dam in the capital is known to no one except Mr. Sikong." Cao Sikong's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, I'm really not an old minister. After so many years, how could you betray the emperor." The emperor turned his head and shouted: "Then what are you doing here waiting for the water to flood into the imperial city?! If there is such a day, you will be punished by the nine clans!"

The emperor was furious in the imperial study, and in the dark room of the palace, the king sat opposite a masked woman, and the atmosphere seemed very tense. "Didn't you say that the dead Cheng Mu won't be found out? Now that King Jin knows about it and is going to the imperial city, I'm afraid the imperial city won't be able to defend it. What are you talking about?" What should I do!" The woman stroked the scar on her hand, and said with a smile: "I promised not to find out at the time, which meant I couldn't find out your head. Who knows where Cheng Yaojin came from? But don't worry, the matter We can still control it, if you really have no choice, just go up and make a contribution, when the time comes, the emperor will be grateful for your merit, what do you want?" King Xi pulled out the dagger from his sleeve and threw it straight Xiang woman, the knife was stuck in the woman's ear, she did not hide, but laughed louder: "Do you think I will be afraid? If you don't kill me, you just hurt me, there is nothing to be afraid of." The king said angrily: "If I die, you will not benefit!" The woman raised her head, the veil was not covered, the fine wounds on her face looked terrible, the woman stopped laughing and said, "You don't I'm going to die." After saying that, he got up and pushed open the secret door on the other wall, and quickly entered.

A part of King Jin's troops stayed in the city to fight hard against the imperial army, and another small part was digging a dam. Since they had to deal with part of the army, they seemed to be at a loss.

At present, some of King Jin's people are destroying the dam, but because the dam was built firmly back then, it may be difficult to open the dam.The strength of the forbidden army is not weak, King Jin's army is considered to have the upper hand.

Everyone is full of hope.Even without knowing the whole picture, a small hope in a near-desperate situation is enough to make a person ecstatic.

King Jin's army seems to be about to be kicked out of the Gyeonggi area. This is news worthy of everyone's celebration. Similarly, the Ghost Festival is coming soon. People find that the more important thing is to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, not because they have the chance to win Things to worry about.

On the night of July [-]th, under the walls of the imperial city, water flooded up like ghosts, swallowing every peaceful and peaceful heart.The watchman leaned against the base of the city wall and was drowsy and felt something was wrong. Looking carefully, he found that water was slowly coming out from under the city wall. He thought he had some nightmare, so he didn't care much, and soon fell asleep.

The speed of the water was getting faster and faster, and the volume of the water was also increasing. Soon the city wall was washed away by the flood. At this time, someone exclaimed that the water had entered the city, and the city was flooded, waking people up from their dreams. .

Zi Xiyan rushed out of the courtyard gate and found that the water had covered his feet. Zi Xiyan quickly rushed back, woke up Chu Chenxing and said, "The city is flooded."

Zi Xiyan was quickly called away, and Chu Chenxing looked at the rising water level outside, feeling extremely anxious inside.Zi Xiyan soon arrived at the main hall, and the officials in the main hall were in a mess. The flood obviously came from outside the city, but everyone knew how it came.King Jin had dug the dam and brought water into the city. "Cao Sikong, what do you think we should do?" the emperor asked, and Cao Sikong knelt down and replied, "Well, I don't know, the water conservancy project in the capital was originally built by the criminal minister Huan Jinfeng, but Huan's family was killed by Huan Jinfeng. Zhu Jiuzu, the blueprint of the water conservancy project has also been burned, the water conservancy project in the capital is complicated, and the veterans don't know what to do, now it seems that we have to block the water inlet on the city wall first, and then make plans." The emperor nodded and ordered People do it.

The water level in the capital has risen to the waist, and King Jin's attack is more comfortable. The people in the capital dare not open the city gate, but treat the capital as a reservoir. There is still a lot of water in the dam, and the river has reached the flood season , the reservoir is connected to the dam, providing water almost continuously.The capital was in a panic, and the rich people in the capital had already started to build highlands and go to the highlands.

It was night, the capital became a little quieter, and people fell asleep in uneasiness.Someone visited Zi Xiyan's home again.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that you have played a cruel hand this time. What's the matter, are you going to flood the capital?" Zi Xiyan didn't answer, but said, "Don't worry about me, I'm still sure of what I'm going to do. How are you preparing?" Oh." The man said: "It's okay, we can control the battle reports inside King Jin at any time, and we also have the news in the capital, and we will come according to the time." Zi Xiyan nodded and said: "This is the first step. We still have a lot of things to do next, I hope everything will go smoothly." The visitor nodded, flew out and disappeared into the darkness.

The water in the capital rose rapidly, and the boat was soon used. Chu Chenxing stayed on the roof, and with the torrential rain in the past few days, he seemed to be in a panic.

The entire capital city has become a reservoir, the houses of ordinary people have been submerged, and Chu Chenxing is saving people on the roof of his own house.Zi Xiyan sent the civilians to the high ground back and forth, and saw that Chu Chenxing was saving more and more people.The civilians in the city were gradually moved to the high ground, but many people were still swallowed by the flood.

It was raining heavily, and Zi Xiyan came to his home by boat, and Chu Chenxing was on board to meet him. The boat was full soon, and Chu Chenxing jumped up, only to hear the boatman shout: "It's full, I can't get on, get off quickly!" One!" This is, the civilians on the ship cast their eyes on the two, with greed and the desire to survive in their eyes.A middle-aged man said: "Benefactor, you saved us, you must have a way, we are ordinary people, you good people will do it to the end, please save us." After speaking, he stood up and pushed Chu Chenxing down.

Chu Chenxing was originally from the north, and he didn't have a good grasp of water, so he choked on a few sips of water and disappeared.Regardless of the boatman's call, Zi Xiyan jumped off the boat and swam to the place where Chu Chenxing disappeared.

Chu Chenxing woke up again on a roof, the rain was still falling, and the sky looked foggy.Zi Xiyan hugged himself, blocking most of the rainwater with his body, Chu Chenxing moved slightly, Zi Xiyan grabbed his hand, and said: "Persevere, someone will come soon." Chu Chenxing was dizzy and hoarse Unable to speak, she squeezed his hand vigorously, leaned into Zi Xiyan's arms, and fell asleep again.
