Every day at the time of Shen, Mo Han, who was on guard at the foot of Bishan, would send people back to the city quietly. On the one hand, they were to communicate the news between the mountain and the city, and on the other hand, no fire could be made on the mountain or below, so they could also collect some supplies.

One day, when the team was about to reach the city, they watched from afar as the two armies fought outside the city.

Hou Chun, the leader of the team, is a very smart guy. He is not only fast and agile, but also has sharp eyes and ears and quick reactions. Mo Han and the others call him "Monkey".

Hou Chun climbed up to a high place like a monkey and immediately found that the two sides were already fighting each other. Pei Ji's side was obviously beginning to fall into a difficult battle and was about to lose the upper hand. He immediately said, "Not good, go back and report to General Mo!"

Hou Chun was extremely anxious and hurried back to Bishan with his team members.

He ran the fastest, twice as fast as when he came here. In Water Margin, he was definitely a character like "The Speedy Walker".

Hou Chun found Mo Han and reported the situation to his superiors in a few words.

Mo Han was in a dilemma. If he didn't rescue General Pei and he got into danger, then everything would be lost. If he took action, then their ambush at Bishan would no longer be kept secret.

Didn't we agree to launch an attack on the city at midnight tomorrow? Didn't General Pei say yesterday that he would fight Wu Ge today? !

General Pei didn't say, did they not need to take action? Mo Han hesitated for a while and decided to go up the mountain to share this information with Zhuo Zhi and Zhou Yao, and everyone came up with a plan together.

Hou Chun took Mo Han up the mountain via a shortcut and informed Zhuo Zhi and Zhou Yao of the situation.

After hearing this, the two of them had very complicated expressions.

Zhuo Zhi thought for a moment and said, "This matter is quite tricky. If we send troops to rescue at this time, our whereabouts will be exposed; but if we stand aside and watch, General Pei's life may be in danger."

Zhou Yao thought for a while and said, “The situation changes rapidly. General Pei must have encountered something he didn’t expect, so he had to go to war with Wu Ge.

The original reason we set up an ambush here was to break into the city. Since a battle has already taken place down the mountain, why don’t we open the gates in advance and adopt a strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, so as to save General Pei from danger and prevent the plan of diverting water to flood the city from failing.”

Mo Han nodded, indicating that he agreed with Zhou Yao's opinion.

Zhuo Zhi was a little worried: "Master Zhou, if we release the water in advance, will the effect not be achieved if there is not enough water stored?"

"I have my own plan for this. To divert water to irrigate the city, the amount of water and topography are one aspect, and the other is the pressure and drop." Zhou Yao took out a map and pointed out a location in the middle reaches of the river.

"Lord Zhuo, quickly order the soldiers to place the extra sand bags here in the river." Zhou Yao drew the position and shape of the sand bags with a few strokes.

"This?" Zhuo Zhi was a little confused. "Didn't the master ask us to dredge the silt at the bottom of the river last time? Now the river is blocked again. Won't the water be unable to flow?"

"Draining the silt is to speed up the water flow, and filling the deceleration points is also to speed up the water flow. However, this method requires a lot of manpower for earthwork, so it can be omitted if there is enough water.

If we attack ahead of time now, it is best to set up a speed-increasing ladder at the water outlet to increase the water level difference and the hydraulic slope, which can increase the flow rate and make the water flow smoother. "Zhou Yao explained quickly.

Although Zhuo Zhi and Mo Han didn't quite understand, General Pei had said that they should follow Lord Zhou's orders, so they should do it without further ado.

“Two generals, just leave 3,000 men with me to release the water at the sluice gate, and the others can go down the mountain with us to make arrangements.

The sooner the better. Send someone to report as soon as it is set up. Once it is completed, please bring people to support Master Pei immediately. Do not stay. "Zhou Yao instructed.

"How can we leave you on the mountain? I will guard the dike with you." Zhuo Zhi still remembered Pei Ji's instructions.

"It's okay. The dam will be safe after the water is released. You two should leave quickly!" Zhou Yao bowed.

Zhuo Zhi and Mo Han looked at each other and immediately gathered people to start construction.

Before Zhuo Zhi went down the mountain, he brought Qian Hu Niu Lianggong to Zhou Yao and said, "Master Zhou, this is Qian Hu Niu Lianggong who is leading the team on the mountain. He is responsible for protecting your safety. If you have any instructions, just tell Old Niu."

Zhou Yao looked at the honest man who looked like a farmer in front of him and bowed to him, "Thank you, General Niu."

The plan was decided, and Zhuo Zhi and Mo Han took the soldiers into action quickly.

Zhou Yao looked at the sun shining through the gaps in the woods and silently calculated the time in his mind.

"General Niu." Zhou Yao shouted.

"Sir!" Niu Lianggong came over immediately to reply.

"Take people to block the diversion tributary." He said calmly.

"This?" Niu Lianggong was a little confused, as this tributary had only been dug for several days.

“After it was sealed, all the water was stored in the reservoir,” he explained simply.

"Sir, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll call someone to do it right away!" Niu Lianggong felt distressed when he saw the water flowing away in vain. How much water was wasted! He left in a hurry.

Zhou Yao didn't explain much. He didn't cut off the flow immediately because he had to consider the carrying capacity of the reservoir. He had to leave time for the filling team on the mountainside to escape.

Filling is faster than digging a river. Bags of sand and soil gradually piled up at the outlet of the tributary, and the amount of water in the Bi River slowly decreased until it dried up.

Zhou Yao looked at the reservoir and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this method would work.

Not long after, Hou Chun came to report that the middle reaches of the pass had been arranged, and Zhuo Zhi and Mo Han had led most of the troops down the mountain to the battlefield to support Pei Ji.

Zhou Yao nodded and stayed at the sluice gate, closely watching the changes in the water level. Finally, the water level reached the expected height, and Zhou Yao gave an order, ordering Niu Lianggong to open the sluice gate and release the water.

The sluice gates were opened, and the surging river water rushed down like a wild horse, rushing straight towards the city below.

At the same time, Zhuo Zhi and Mo Han went down the mountain to meet Pei Ji.

"Why are you here?" Pei Ji's hand holding the knife was shaking slightly. When he saw Zhuo Zhi and Mo Han coming to support him, he even thought he was dazzled.

"I can't explain it clearly at the moment. Lord Zhou asked us to come down for support." Mo Han rushed into the battle between Pei Ji and Ge Tai with two guns in hand, and deflected Ge Tai's golden sword with one shot.

Zhuo Zhi also led his men and horses, pulling bows and arrows to shoot at the enemy. His archery skills were extremely high, and Wuge's charge formation was thrown into disarray for a while.

With the addition of new teammates, the battle situation turned around instantly. Pei Ji's pressure was reduced suddenly, and he and Mo Han worked together to repel Ge Tai.

Listening to the thunderous sound of water coming closer and closer, the flood on the distant Bishan Mountain was like a waterfall from heaven, rushing straight into Liangdu City.

"This guy Zhou Yao... is really good!" Pei Ji sighed in his heart as he looked at the raging flood.

The raging flood rushed into Liangdu from the gap in the northwest of the city wall like a ferocious beast, and instantly destroyed the city wall.

The Uge people in the city were horrified and in chaos.

Ge Tai naturally also noticed the sudden change in the situation. Liangdu City is the tallest and largest city nearby, so they have always regarded Liangdu as their base camp.

Even though they had fought with Pei Ji several times here, they did not expect Pei Ji to break into the city so quickly, so the Third Prince and others did not move to other places.

The Wuge people understood that they would not be able to capture the city unless they surrendered, but they were men of steel and would never surrender.

Thinking of the third prince, Ge Tai immediately waved his flag to withdraw his troops and turned back to the city to rescue his master.

Pei Ji led the crowd to pursue the victory, and rushed into Liangdu, crushing Ge Tai.

As the flood poured in, the buildings in Liangdu City collapsed one after another and people fled in panic.

The Zhao Dynasty army took the opportunity to rush into the city and launched a final decisive battle with the Wuge people.

To catch a thief, one must first catch the king. Pei Ji followed Ge Tai closely, hoping to find the hiding place of the third prince Sutunanda.

Ge Tai also saw through Pei Ji's intention. He whispered an order to his deputy general, then reined in his horse and turned around to meet Pei Ji's attack.

These two outstanding warriors and generals chased each other for a whole day, and finally faced off in the ruined city.

Although they were tired, the two continued to fight back and forth, neither giving in, and a fierce duel ensued.

Pei Ji waved the long sword in his hand, while Ge Tai kept blocking with his shield, while holding the golden sword and looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Finally, Pei Ji found a flaw and slashed at Ge Tai's chest. Ge Tai wanted to block this move with his shield, but it was too late.

Pei Ji's sword pierced through his armor and pierced into his body. Ge Tai screamed and fell to the ground, blood flowing out.

Pei Ji looked at Ge Tai's body without feeling any joy in his heart. Ge Tai had sacrificed his life to be loyal to Wu Ge and his third prince.

He silently put away his knife and asked his men to bury Getai's body.

At this time, the flood had submerged more than half of Liangdu City, and the resistance of the Wuge people was becoming weaker and weaker. Pei Ji led everyone to eliminate the remaining enemies.

The battle finally ended, and the city of Liangdu was filled with damp blood and moisture.

Pei Ji stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the devastated Liangdu City, feeling filled with emotion. This victory was truly hard-won.
