The battle under the city has come to an end. The Yuan army that had not yet arrived at the city and fled into the city have basically been wiped out. Those who have not died in battle have been honestly captured. In fact, this matter is so unbearable to them. After all, surrender is not once or twice for them.

At this time, Xu Ning's army had already faced Tanzhou. This was the second time that many people had faced this big city. The last time Lu Wenhuan killed countless Song troops with the buildings here, but in the blink of an eye, the Song army came back again. Although this place had not been broken yet, there was a kind of despair that was already spreading.

"Let me take the lead. The last time I lost my life here, and this time I will find the lost brilliance here." Jiang Cai gritted his teeth and found Xu Ning. His request was not too much.

Xu Ning just smiled slightly, "The old general doesn't have to do this. The arrangement here is obviously a flesh-and-blood grinder. I want us to lose more people here, so I won't let you attack at will. We are not at that time yet. Let's show the power of our cannons today, but please prepare. As long as you blow up the city gate, please lead your army into the city. However, Lu Wenhuan would better give me a living person. I will cut him alive with my own hands, which can be considered as seeking justice for so many heroes who died in Xiangfan."

When Jiang Cai heard that the person had already said this, he naturally had nothing to say, so he had to stand aside, while Xu Ning had already started to arrange it.

If Zhang Shun's team wanted to conquer the city, the most common method must be earthwork. To put it bluntly, it was to dig a pit and then advance to the bottom of the enemy's city for blasting. However, the situation here is different and it is impossible to dig a pit at all. Because Tanzhou is backed by the Xiangjiang River and has abundant water sources, the moat is wide and deep.

Jiang Cai suffered a lot when he attacked this place for the first time. Although he finally added a floating bridge to the moat, he did not cross the wall of imitation Fang County, and ended up suffering heavy casualties.

However, Xu Ning adopted a completely different approach from him. He first asked someone to dig several large pits in a distance, continuing to the tributaries of Xiangjiang River in the distance, and then connected them together with small tunnels. Finally, he began to dig seven or eight tunnels in a row and dig directly into the moat. A discerning person could guess at once that this was to release water to the moat. As long as it was dug through, the water from the moat would soon flow into the river along these things.

This saves time and effort. Finally, just fill the soil dug out when digging some pits into the original river channel, and you can directly fill a road, and then it is OK whether you are bombing it with a cannon or continuing to dig the tunnel.

Now Xu Ning's troops who can do this are all familiar with each other, but they have already completed the preparations in a short while. After lunch, the tunnel has already advanced to the other party's moat and can start to release water.

Xu Ning was still very satisfied with the progress. When he heard that it was almost done, he immediately ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the tunnel and then started bombarding with thunder. The power of the thing was indeed beyond imagination. However, in a short while, the seemingly solid moat embankment had already broken, and then the water flowed out directly along the tunnels.

"Go up!" With Xu Ning's order, the soldiers who had already prepared immediately pushed the shield cart, braved the thunder in the enemy's palm, and rushed directly to the moat composed of the Hui cannon and the Eight-Number Crossbow. Then they threw all the soil that had been packed on it long ago into the moat. After a while, at noon, it was like a moat several meters wide, which had become a muddy pit, with fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs everywhere that had not had time to escape, but no one was concerned about their life or death at this time.

The thunder of the sky was also pushed up. Of course, Xu Ning would not waste time and continue digging holes. Although he was very skilled in this tactic, he now had a large number of artillery and shells in his hand, so he would not waste his time on these things at all.

He can easily crack a moat, but this does not mean that Tanzhou City is within easy reach. After all, this place has been renovated like Fangxian. Fangxian's original design was to prevent people from learning to dig pits and blow up walls. If they want to attack in such a place, they don't know how many people will die. Before, Jiang Cai was a ready-made example. He left so many soldiers here, but in the end he didn't even find the city tower in Tanzhou. Now Xu Ning will not go through this old path again.

"Master, they have already put the thunder on the sky. If we don't take any measures, our destiny will be destined." A general said worriedly to Lu Wenhuan, who had been standing on the city tower to watch the battle.

Lu Wenhuan also sighed. Since he saw his opponent breaking the moat quickly and effectively, he knew that he had encountered an unprecedented opponent. This person's ability was something he had never seen before. He knew that it was difficult for him to defend this city today. But at this time he had no other choice. You must know that if it was not him, the entire Southwest Road would not collapse so quickly, and the court would eventually reach this point. His actions have long become the biggest traitor in the eyes of the Song Dynasty. The court hated him far more than Fan Wenhu and Xia Guidishi. He could responsibly say that the court admired him so much at the beginning, and he hated him so much now. Even if he wanted to surrender, he would probably not have this opportunity.

What's more, the whole family of his family has been taken away by his son. If he surrenders now, Zhang Hongfan will not be able to let his family go, so he gave up the idea of ​​surrendering early and had to fight to the death.

But fighting to the death is easy, but it is very difficult to do. Now the opponent he faces is no longer the brave but unscrupulous Jiang Cai. Facts have proved that Xu Ning not only has a large number of firearms but also has courage and strategy. His attacks are simply trained, and they are arranged in an orderly manner. Not to mention that he is not his opponent now, he believes that even if he is still standing on the head of Xiangyang, he will still be unable to resist such an army and such generals.

"Forget it, I can only use that move, you guys are ready to go." For a moment, Lu Wenhuan felt something indescribable in his heart. He felt that his soul had disappeared at this moment.
