Chapter 75: The Fish Dies and the Net Breaks

(Thanks to the old book friends of Tongxin Pavilion for their rewards! The previous chapters have been deleted and modified, and the order of the chapters has been adjusted. I hope it will not cause trouble for book friends to read!)

A situation that no one had expected had happened.

I don’t know if there was a mountain torrent near Tongguan or if there was too much rain, and floods occurred in the trench. Under the increasingly fierce impact of the turbulent water, several "dam bridges" made of corpses in the ditches were destroyed by the surging water, just like the dam breaking of the dam.

After the "corpse dam" at the uppermost stream was washed away by the flood, a very fierce current destroyed several dam bridges downstream. Amid the screams of the rebel soldiers, the surging flood carried huge power, carrying a large number of corpses and washed away rebel soldiers, and rushed straight towards the Yellow River, with a terrifying momentum.

When the dam was "breaking", most of the rebel soldiers who were charging towards the west of the dam bridge through the dam bridge were carried by the water flow and rushed directly into the Yellow River. Only those soldiers who were lucky to be stuck by the stones or hanging on the branches were spared, and some soldiers were lucky to be thrown to the shore by the turbulent water flow and recovered their lives. However, these soldiers who survived were also frightened.

There were estimated to be one or two thousand soldiers who were directly brought to the Yellow River by the water flow. Most of these soldiers came from the north and could not swim. They were directly brought to the surging Yellow River by the water flow, and basically lost their lives.

In fact, this is inevitable.

There is very little soil on Mount Hua and it cannot store water. The rainfall from the sky is basically discharged directly. The terrain of the montengou is low, and it is originally a river channel naturally formed in the mountains. During heavy rain, the water on the mountain in this area is discharged to the Yellow River through the montengou.

After the heavy rain began, water flows quickly appeared in the trench ditch. A large number of accumulated corpses caused rainwater to accumulate in the trench and could not be discharged in time. As the rain became heavier and longer, more and more water accumulated between the trench ditches became more and more. While it was difficult to drain water, some corpses were moved. Under the influence of the terrain, the corpses further accumulated and became one dam after another. The water flow in the trench ditch was eventually cut into large or small dams by the dams accumulated by the corpses.

More and more water overflowed the corpse dam bridge and the eastern edge of the Jindiao, and the water flow also put a strong pressure on the corpse dam. As the rainwater became more and more turbulent, the accumulated corpse finally could not stand the dam under the influence of strong water pressure, and the dam collapsed. The uppermost dam body was the first to start dam collapse. The powerful water impact eventually led to a chain reaction, carrying a huge flood to continuously destroy the corpse dam behind. The flood not only rushed most of the corpse and thousands of rebel soldiers in the Jindiao into the Yellow River, but also destroyed the "road" for the rebels to charge to the west along the Jindiao.

After all the dams were washed away, the turbulent water was still flowing in the trench. If the rebel soldiers wanted to attack Tongguan City through the turbulent trench with rapid water flow, the difficulty increased by many times. The turbulent trench natural danger reappeared, which can be said to have restored all the functions at the beginning and was much stronger than usual to defend against enemies. The turbulent water flow was a very difficult difficulty for the rebels who wanted to continue to attack the city.

Because of this, Yang Xi couldn't help but scream in surprise after seeing the flood washed away the bodies in the forbidden ditch.

God helps me, it's not false at all.

When Yang Xi suggested to Geshuhan how to remove the corpses in the forbidden ditch, he made two suggestions: one is to burn it with fire, and the other is to rush the water. The fire did not burn all the corpses, and a flood caused by heavy rain washed away all the corpses. This is a blessing from God. The natural danger of the forbidden ditch reappeared, and the degree of danger was even worse. It was basically impossible for the rebels to attack the city smoothly.

However, although God had reached out to help, there were still a large number of rebels gathered on the west edge of the Jingou outside the south gate, with at least seven or eight thousand people.

These rebel soldiers were also shocked by the flood raging in the forbidden ditch. Many soldiers fell into the forbidden ditch because they could not stand under the city wall and were washed away by the flood. The soldiers who were lifted off the cloud ladder basically fell into the forbidden ditch, "swimming" in the turbulent water flow like fish, and finally returned to the Yellow River. However, the sergeants who fell into the forbidden ditch were washed away by the water after all, and most of the sergeants were still gathered at the city of Tongguan to continue attacking, but because of the sudden shock, the siege slowed down.

"Brothers, rush to the top of the city, otherwise we will all be killed by the Tang army!"

A general who was commanding the siege in the city waved his sword and roared at the soldiers beside him.

According to the current situation, the soldiers who attacked the city had been cut off from their way back, and the subsequent supporters could not immediately rush over to support. They were fighting alone, either attacking the city and occupying the city, or being annihilated by the Tang army above the city, or turning around and running away, jumping into the turbulent water trench and fleeing, but this was too difficult.

Passively being beaten and waiting for death is something that no one would do. There is basically no chance of success when escaping into the forbidden ditches and escaping back. They are going to be washed into the Yellow River by water. Now, the water in half of the forbidden ditches is flowing rapidly. If you jump in, you will definitely be washed away.

Even if you are lucky enough to cross the forbidden ditch, you will be killed as a deserter. The choice that the rebels under the city can make is to attack the city without any chance.

Attacking the city and occupying the south gate can be said to be the only way for them to survive.

With the shouts of General Zhonglang and the charge of the soldiers, many generals who were in charge of the battle also woke up and waved their swords one after another, and ordered their soldiers to attack the city at any cost.

With the order from the commander, the rebel soldiers who understood that they were in the current situation rushed to the city, and did not care about how the defenders on the city would react. This was a destruction. The rebels wanted to take advantage of the heavy rain and the Tang army on the city could not effectively attack with arrows and their vision was unclear.

The rebels' siege was in a mad manner, far more fierce than before, and the defense on the city was very difficult for a moment.

I don’t know if the Tang army on the top of the city was frightened by the flood in the forbidden ditch just now, or if they could not withstand the rebels’ desperate attack, the rebels actually had a scene of fear of fighting, and more than a hundred rebel soldiers climbed to the top of the city on the ladder.

Yang Xi never expected such a situation to happen.

God favored him. A flood washed away the ban ditch, washed away thousands of rebels who siege the city, and blocked the rebels' subsequent attacks, and even soldiers would be afraid to fight, causing the rebels to rush to the top of the city, and even the crisis would appear again. Yang Xi knew completely that if the rebels stood firm on the top of the city, the subsequent troops would rush to the top of the city one after another, and the South Gate would be lost.

Now the rebels under the city have no way out. They can only have a chance to survive by fighting to the death. These nearly 10,000 rebels will definitely attack the city with all their might and will not retreat. What is hateful is that when the situation changes to our advantage, the defenders on the city will still be timid and stalemates, which makes Yang Xi furious.
