In order not to keep the soldiers of the Jin army from staying in the chariots, Sima Ke mobilized tens of thousands of troops to build a solid and thick earth wall of more than half a person high overnight, completely cutting off the possibility of Jie cavalry rushing to the formation.

Without the advantage of cavalry, it is equivalent to breaking the two legs of the Zhao army under Zhucheng, and its military strength is not superior. It is already a delusion to attack Sima Ke's defense line again.

In addition, Xie Shang and Huan Wen's military ships came upstream from the river and approached the territory of Zhucheng, which further put huge pressure on the Zhao army in Zhucheng, which eventually forced Zhang He and Shi Min to give up Fenghuo Mountain Grain Village and Zhucheng and retreat to Anlu.

Upon hearing the news that the Zhao army in Zhucheng had retreated, there was another cheer from the Jin army camp, and Sima Ke began to look at Fenghuoshan Grain Village.

That was a huge fortune. The Zhao army mobilized troops from the Central Plains and prepared at least half a year of food and grass. The grain they had consumed was at least 100,000 hu of food in Fenghuoshan Grain Village. There were also more than 100,000 cavalry for forage, which was an astonishing amount.

Therefore, for Sima Ke, Fenghuo Mountain Grain Village, he was determined to win.

Sima Ke, surrounded by all the generals, personally inspected Fenghuoshan Grain Village. The Jie people on the wall had already known the result of the battle of the main army. If it were other soldiers, they would have surrendered, but these beast-like Jie people were still resisting stubbornly, and their ferocious aura became increasingly high.

The broad trenches, tall walls, and the Jie defenders who are fearless all brought great challenges to Sima Ke's breaking the village. Food and grass are important, but the lives of the soldiers are even more important. He does not have to use human-sea tactics for these food and grass, and he uses human-sea tactics to pile up people's lives.

Of course, when it was absolutely necessary, we could only tie the crossbow of the yellow crossbow with grease and other items soaked in grease. Using the range of the ten-stone yellow crossbow, ten thousand arrows were fired at once, igniting the grain and grass in the grain village and burning it. But after all, the worst solution was a last resort.

Sima Ke led his people to patrol under the village wall. When he saw the wide water moat, he suddenly remembered something. He couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration in his mind. He hurriedly looked up at the back mountain of the Liangzhai Village.

I saw that the Liangzhai was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the three sides were bare, not even half a weed, and no mountain springs were seen flowing down. This means that the living water source in the Liangzhai Village was all driven by the water flowing from the Ba water in the Huzhai moat.

He carefully checked the water diversion and drainage facilities of the Liangzhai Village. Sure enough, he found that the water in the Huzhai Trench was connected to the Bashui River. The Jie people dug a drainage ditch alone, but it was not connected to the Huzhai Trench, but it led to the lower part of the Bashui River alone. That is, drinking water was introduced from the Huzhai Trench from the upper part, and various domestic wastewaters were sent out, including human urine and feces, etc.

Seeing this, Sima Ke couldn't help but have a strange smile on his face, and turned around and said to the generals: "Go back to the camp!"

Seeing Sima Ke's expression, the generals knew that the invincible young general was already clear and showed a look of confidence.

Back at the camp, Sima Ke immediately asked Li Yan to arrange 5,000 auxiliary soldiers to tear down the earth wall originally used to defend Jie Kai, and made it into earthen buns with clothes removed from the body of Jie people. Then he used the seized war horses to transport soil to block the entrance of the Huzhai Huo Mountain Grain Village to prevent the fresh river from flowing into the Huzhai Huo Thief.

Li Ran immediately obeyed the order and left. Five thousand auxiliary soldiers demolished the earth wall in less than two hours. Then, he used more than two thousand sets of clothes taken off the body of the Jie people to make earth buns, placed them on the back of the captured war horses, and pulled them to the entrance of Fenghuoshan Grain Village.

More than 5,000 auxiliary soldiers held the earthen buns and half untied them. They stood in line at the entrance of the Huzhai Hubiao. Li Yan shouted "Subside", and the soil in the earthen buns poured down, splashing everywhere. Soon, the soil in the Hubiao Hubiao became more and more mud, gradually overflowing the water surface, and finally formed an eight or nine-meter-long isolation belt, which separated the water from the water in the Bashui River.

The moat leading to the guardian moat winds along the foot of the mountain, three or four miles away from the village wall. When standing on the village wall, you can't see the entrance, so the Jie people on the village wall are completely unaware of the Jin army's operations.

After blocking the entrance of the Huzhai Trench, Sima Ke ordered the auxiliary soldiers to cover their mouths and noses with white cloth, and also covered them with thick linen cloth. He dug out hundreds of corpses of Jie people from the earth pit, wrapped them with cloth, and threw them into the ditch leading to the Huzhai Trench. After two days of burial, the corpse had rotted and had a pungent smell. After being thrown into the water pit, it suddenly smelled.

After soaking the body into the moat, Sima Ke still felt it was insufficient and ordered Li Yan to collect the feces and urine of tens of thousands of soldiers in the past two days and poured them into the moat.

Since these high-nose and blue-eyed Jie people like to eat human flesh, it is good to drink this human flesh soaked in water. In his opinion, these beast-like Jie people are only worthy of eating shit and urine.

Of course, his goal was not to disgust these Jie people, but to take their lives. In this era, soldiers basically had no habit of drinking boiled water, and they all drank raw water on the spot. After drinking Sima Ke specially added water to the seasoning, Jie people died of not being infected and had diarrhea to death.

In addition, Sima Ke ordered three high platforms to be built two hundred steps before the enemy's camp gate, up to seven meters high, slightly higher than the village wall, each platform can accommodate twenty people standing.

The platform that is two hundred steps away can only be destroyed by a catapult, but Fenghuoshan Grain Village obviously does not have such things. The bows and arrows in the hands of the Jie people cannot reach an attack distance of 200 steps. Although the powerful crossbow can reach 200 steps, the lethality of those crossbows with three to five stones can be almost negligible after reaching 200 steps. For the ten-stone yellow crossbow, the lethality within 200 steps can be described as terrifying.

…………

The commander of the Liangzhai Guardian Army was Guo Yu, who was a stout and tall Jie man, extremely fierce and brave, so he was given the important task of guarding the Liangzhai.

Although Guo Yu had found out that the main force of the Jie people had been defeated and the exit of Fenghuo Mountain was blocked, he was not panicked. In his opinion, Fenghuo Mountain Grain Village had the least shortage of food and grass. Judging from the existing grain storage and the number of people in the grain camp, you don’t have to worry even if it takes five or six years.

As for the defense of the Liangzhai, he was quite confident. The Liangzhai village had high walls and thick walls and blocked by the moat, so the Jin army could not attack at all. Even if the Jin people made up their minds to fill the moat and attack the city with all their might, he was not afraid. He had 1,500 people in his hands, all of them were brave and fearless Jie warriors. With the advantage of defending the city, they could at least be one to five, or even one to ten. If the Jin people wanted to break the village, they would first lose 10,000 troops. He did not believe that the Jin people would attack a Liangzhai at the cost of losing ten thousand people.

Surrounded by a group of Jie people, Guo Yu was patrolling the kitchens everywhere. Overnight, hundreds of Jie people suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. For some reason, he suspected that there was something wrong with the kitchen. Because he was drinking boiled water himself, he did not expect it would be a problem with raw water.

However, after patrolling more than a dozen treasuries, the cause was not found. Instead, within less than an hour, there were a hundred more soldiers with abdominal pain, which made Guo Yu very angry. He ordered more than a dozen auxiliary soldiers in charge of the treasury, and whipped them hard, so he ordered them to strictly investigate the food problems in the treasury. If something went wrong, they would definitely be beheaded and displayed in public. Unfortunately, these treasurys grew up in Han people, and they were beaten for no reason and could only admit that they were unlucky.

Just as Guo Yu was furious, a Jie soldier rushed over and replied anxiously: "You report to General, the Jin army has built three high platforms in front of the gate of the village, and I don't know what the purpose is."

Guo Yu was stunned, then ordered, "Follow me to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strange sound. The soldier who reported the message squatted down with his stomach in his arms, with a look of extreme pain on his face.

Guo Yu was furious and kicked the man to the ground, shouting angrily: "Go to the village wall to take a look!"

The generals agreed in unison, followed Guo Yu's back, and rushed towards the village wall.

After climbing the village wall, everyone looked up and saw that two hundred steps away, the Jin people were building three tall shelves with trees. The shelves were more than ten meters long and five or six meters wide, and they had already built more than five meters high, and they didn't know what purpose it was.

Guo Yu couldn't help but be furious. He took a five-dove bow from his entourage, pulled the bow full of the moon, and shot an arrow at the high platform. The arrow made a whimpering sound and ran towards the opposite side at a rapid speed. After all, the successor was insufficient and gently landed on the ground in front of the high platform.

"Is the people of Jin going to use this high platform to peek at the reality of our grain village?" someone asked carefully.

At this moment, a Jie people rushed over and reported to the report: "Report to the general, the cause of abdominal pain among the soldiers has been found out, there is a lot of stench in the water moat, and the drinking water in the village has been polluted by the Jin people. The soldiers drank raw water, so they were captured by the Jin people..."

Before he finished speaking, his stomach also buzzed and squatted down in pain.

Guo Yu finally understood, and couldn't help but get angry and his eyes were red. He shouted anxiously: "Send the order, no one is allowed to drink raw water, and immediately ask the kitchen to burn more boiling water."

But by the time he realized it was too late.

It was the beginning of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and it was the time when the weather was extremely hot, and it was also the time when the thirst was most likely to be thirsty and needed to replenish water. Except for the few main generals who drank boiled water, most of the soldiers took water from the moats leading to the village and drank it directly.

As a result, 60% or 70% of the soldiers in the village were poisoned by drinking water. The whole camp was covered with stomachs and the toilet was in short supply. Even the drainage dirt was full of diarrhea. Many people squatted directly in the backing area. After taking off their pants, it was stormy and stormy. The entire grain village exuded a foul stench.
