Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 443: Chapter 191: Ying Zheng’s Trust (2)

"But given the current situation, it seems our army has no other option but a direct assault." Li You said.

Zhang Han and Tu Sui both nodded in agreement.

Zhao Feng remained silent, waved his hand, and pointed to a spot on the map.

"Do you know what this place is?" Zhao Feng asked.

"The Great River."

"This is the main stream of the Great River. In the past, when I was stationed at Wei City with the Shangjiangjun, the Wei River was just a tributary of this Great River." Zhang Han replied without hesitation.

"And what about this place here?" Zhao Feng smiled and pointed to another spot.

"Hong Gorge."

"Although it can’t compare to the vastness of the Great River, it is also a tributary of the Great River and even wider than the Wei River." Tu Sui immediately replied.

At this point,

the three generals all raised their heads, eyes widening with excitement, almost simultaneously thinking of a strategy to breach the capital.

"Break the dike?"

"Flood Daliang?"

"Divert the waters?"

All three generals grasped the meaning and exclaimed.

"No matter how well repaired and fortified the city walls are, can they withstand the waters of the Great River and Hong Gorge?"

"In the face of the Power of Heaven and Earth, any stronghold will turn into ruins."

"Since Wei Wuji wants our Wu’an Camp’s three hundred thousand Sharp Warriors to accompany his Wei in death, I will use the power of the heavens and flood to submerge Daliang. Our army won’t waste a single soldier."

"And the Capital of Wei will become a floodplain." Zhao Feng said coldly.

"Shangjiangjun is wise."

The three generals did not hesitate and bowed to Zhao Feng.

This strategy,

must be said, is a brilliant one.

Compared to sending their own troops to die in an attack, using the waters of the Great River to flood Daliang is the best strategy. As for how many people would die in the Capital of Wei from the flood, that’s not something they can concern themselves with.

The battlefield has no place for mercy.

Showing kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Since Wei’s intention is evidently to have Wu’an Camp’s hundreds of thousands of Sharp Warriors buried with them, Zhao Feng intends to let them die.

This is quite fair.

"Tu Sui."

Zhao Feng said.

"Here I am." Tu Sui immediately replied.

"Lead your one hundred thousand troops, fifty thousand to the Great River, fifty thousand to Hong Gorge, to dig canals and levees."

"I give you only a month. In a month, I want the waters of the two rivers to overturn Daliang." Zhao Feng coldly instructed,

"Yes, sir." Tu Sui immediately accepted the order.

"Li You." Zhao Feng continued.

"Here I am." Li You promptly responded.

"Mobilize your eighty thousand troops to fell trees, and build as many boats as you can."

"Also, station twenty thousand troops outside Daliang City, not letting Wei know our plans, only harassing them with daily arrow attacks." Zhao Feng said solemnly.

"Yes, sir." Li You promptly complied.

"As for Zhang Han..."

Zhao Feng looked at Zhang Han.

"Please instruct, Shangjiangjun." Zhang Han promptly said.

"Disperse all cavalry to evacuate the citizens within the Capital of Wei and the lower reaches of the Great River and Hong Gorge."

"However."

"After evacuation, before flooding Daliang, do not let them leave."

"Keep a strict watch, and arrange for them after Daliang is overturned."

"Meanwhile, the cavalry is responsible for vigilance. If they spot Wei soldiers, kill them." Zhao Feng instructed solemnly.

Although they are people of Wei, they will become people of Qin in the future, part of the Huaxia nation.

If casualties can be avoided, Zhao Feng will naturally try his best to prevent them.

"Yes, sir." Zhang Han immediately complied.

"Alright then."

"Go and handle today’s matters yourselves."

"I will remain in this camp. If anything happens, send someone to report."

"This matter concerns the survival of Wu’an Camp’s three hundred thousand Sharp Warriors, and it must not fail. Proceed." Zhao Feng waved his hand.

"Yes, sir."

The three generals bowed and withdrew.

"Master is wise."

"In this way, Wei Wuji’s fortifications become a joke."

"Facing the waters of two great rivers, no matter how long they have fortified, no matter how strong the city walls are, they will ultimately be washed away by the floodwaters." Zhang Ming said excitedly.

"The battlefield is ruthless, ultimately this is how it is." Zhao Feng remarked.

"This is Wei’s doing." Zhang Ming replied with a smile.

"How is Yanting?" Zhao Feng asked.

"As instructed, since Qin invaded Wei, Yanting has been searching among refugees for suitable young sons, and now most of the suitable ones have been brought back to Yanting for training." Zhang Ming replied.

"Is the money earned by the Immortals’ Liquor House sufficient?" Zhao Feng asked again.

"Please rest assured, Master."

"Everything is sufficient." Zhang Ming immediately replied.

"Good then."

"Let Ying Bu and Han Xi continue the search as needed, as long as the funds from the Immortals’ Liquor House suffice." Zhao Feng said.

"Understood." Zhang Ming nodded respectfully.

Next,

there was no need for Zhao Feng to think much more.

Once the channels of the Great River and Hong Gorge are excavated and water is diverted, Daliang City will soon be overturned.

Time gradually passed!

Xianyang City!

"Report to the Great King."

"The Hangu Pass Camp is advancing rapidly; Wei’s western defense line can no longer resist, and within two months, it will surely reach the Capital of Wei." Yu Liao reported.

"Report to the Great King."

"Both Hangu and Wu’an camps have all logistics ensured without any shortages."

"However,"

"I’ve heard from the supply reports to Wu’an Camp."

"Wu’an Camp has been stationed outside the Capital of Wei for over twenty days now, but... General Zhao Feng has not attacked the Capital of Wei." Wang Wan said, looking hesitant but also appearing as though he had no choice but to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking,

Wang Jian, who stood at the forefront of military officials, immediately stood up.

Not long ago, he had just returned from the Lantian Camp.
