Chapter 146
At this time, Fushui City had a total of [-] defenders, most of whom were crossbowmen, mainly used to block Du Huo's attack.
There are about [-] troops ambushing outside the city. They occasionally harass Duhuo's army, but most of them cannot last long.
The strengths of the two sides are relatively different, but Yang Huai has the upper hand, if there is no Fushui City as a barrier, then he will definitely not be able to compete with Du Huo.
However, even with Fushui City's obstruction, Yang Huai was still no match for Du Huo.After all, Du Huo was more than just an ordinary monarch.
And in this battle, Du Huo's strategy just happened to come in handy.
Among thousands of soldiers, Duhuo was surrounded by soldiers. They were all scrambling to protect Duhuo's safety, using their bodies as a barrier to instantly form an impenetrable human wall.
And in this human wall, Du Huo also took the opportunity to use the rockfall trick he just obtained.
In fact, under the current situation, it is easier for Du Huo to use water skills, because Fushui City is close to the coast. If water skills are used, the damage caused will be even greater.
However, Du Huo was worried that once this water element skill was deployed, it would be difficult to control.
After all, the soldiers under him were all outside the city at this time, and if the water system skills were used, the low-lying areas must be flooded first by the bursting water.
Therefore, in order to avoid the existence of this risk, Du Huo had no choice but to choose the rockfall plan.
At a certain moment, when the rockfall meter was triggered, the walls of Fushui City gradually began to show signs of loosening.
This was a completely uncontrollable situation. The violent shaking of the city wall made it impossible for the crossbowmen on the city wall to aim.
As a result, Du Huo's side also got a chance to breathe.
Afterwards, the soldiers under Du Huo's command took advantage of this moment of respite to launch a desperate counterattack against the [-] ambush soldiers.
As a result, in less than a moment, all the [-] ambushes were slaughtered.
During this period, no one was able to escape those ferocious butcher knives by chance.
After the [-] ambush soldiers were eliminated, Du Huo's only major problem was Yang Huai.
At this time, due to the falling rocks, the left city wall of Fushui City had completely collapsed, and during the collapse, at least tens of thousands of soldiers died.
The collapse of Fushui City's walls meant that Yang Huai lost his barrier.
And the moment this gap appeared, those soldiers under Du Huo's command who had already killed red-eyed soldiers rushed into the city like hungry wolves, killing all directions.
Facing the current situation, even Du Huo has no way to restrain it.
After all, the blood and death had deeply stimulated the soldiers' souls, and under the stimulation of the two, orders and reprimands obviously no longer had any deterrent effect.
The battle lasted for nearly three hours.During these nearly three hours, the massacre in Fushui City did not stop for a moment.
Those crazy soldiers seemed to have completely forgotten about fatigue and pain.
Especially those soldiers captured from Zhang Lu's hands were like ghosts frantically claiming the lives of Yang Huai's subordinates.
After the war, Duho specially dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to remove the corpses.Unfortunately, although there were many people participating in this war, Duhuo did not taste any sweetness from it.
First of all, he did not receive any surrender from Yang Huai, because in this battle, no one of Yang Huai's men could survive.
Secondly, Du Huo's side also suffered extremely painful losses. Although they had an advantage in numbers, the death of soldiers was still inevitable, especially when those soldiers were red-eyed.
They didn't even notice that they were on the verge of death.As a result, there were many soldiers who died of excessive blood loss.
When clearing the battlefield, Du Huo looked at the soldiers who were being carried out of the city one by one, and he couldn't help being filled with emotion.
"Shiyuan, we seem to have won this battle, but in fact we lost! Since I led the army, until now, although I have lost many battles, I have never lost so many soldiers!
Just now I sent someone to take a special count, and we lost nearly [-] people in battle, which is not a small number!
If we have to pay such a high price for just such a small city, then I really can't imagine what kind of losses we will bear when we hit Chengdu one day! "
Du Huo stood outside the city, looking at the long line of corpses in the distance, his expression was very ugly.
Pang Tong, who was at the side, gave Du Huo a deep look, and subconsciously opened his mouth, but he didn't say the words in his heart.
So, in the end he chose to remain silent, and this silence lasted for a long time.
After successfully capturing Fushui City, enemy general Wu Lan hid in the city and was discovered by soldiers cleaning up the battlefield.
After some cross-examination, Wu Lan finally revealed his identity, and he was also willing to surrender to Du Huo.
Facing such a surrendered general who was like a loser, Du Huo was really in a dilemma.
If he killed Wu Lan now, it would have a very bad influence on Du Huo.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Du Huo finally decided to accept Wu Lan's request to surrender, and then dispatched him to build Fushui City.
In this way, Du Huo also temporarily found a way to achieve both, which not only safeguarded his reputation, but also contained Wu Lan's hidden danger of infiltrating the army!
After settling many issues in Fushui City, Du Huo left five thousand soldiers behind to garrison Fushui City.
However, these five thousand soldiers were not under Wu Lan's command. At most, they were just helping Wu Lan build Fushui City!
After all the matters were settled, the resentful people decided to break up with Liu Zhang and take advantage of the situation to go northward to openly invade the Xichuan territory.
While the army was crossing Hebei, the general Pang Yi, who had been demoted by Liu Zhang before, suddenly came to look for Du Huo at this time, wanting to offer advice for Du Huo.
According to Pang Yi, in order to prevent Du Huo from invading Xichuan, Liu Zhang specially built fortifications to block the passage and filled it with stagnant water to prevent Du Huo from advancing.
The only way out now is for Du Huo to divert the flow and water, and then use the force of the water to break through the fortifications, then he can solve the current blockage.
And when Du Huo asked him how to act, Pang Yi acted as set out in the game plot.
Without hesitation, he gave away the key to the room where the water gate switch was hidden.
Afterwards, after fulfilling his long-cherished wish, Pang Yi said goodbye directly to Du Huo and left along the river.
