The city of Moro is a circular castle in the Western architectural style, which is very different from the square city of the Han Dynasty.
There are about 100,000 inhabitants in the city, and it is the number one town in the central region of Kushan.
Su Lie led the three generals Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Han, and Zhang He to raise 150,000 troops, and two months ago, the troops came to the city and besieged the city of Moro.
However, it was stubbornly resisted by the Qin generals, and in the face of the Qin army defending the city, it was unable to advance the battle line.
Moro Castle was strong and tall, and Su Lie tried to attack it several times, but repeatedly lost his troops and returned in vain.
In desperation, Su Lie could only change his strategy, and checked the terrain with Lu Xiangsheng's light horse, and found that the rivers were dense and the water network was all over the 100 miles around Moro City.
So Su Lie decided to flood the city of Moro, and ordered Zhang Han to lead his troops to feint and attack the city every day to confuse the soldiers; He ordered the military master to lead 20,000 men to the nearby mountains to cut down trees and make bamboo rafts.
He also ordered Lu Xiangsheng to lead 30,000 men to build a dam in the vicinity day and night to store floodwaters.
In the end, Zhang He led 30,000 elite soldiers to use the cover of tents in the camp to dig tunnels every night, and transported the excavated soil overnight before the early morning to avoid being discovered by the Qin army and judging their own intentions.
After half a month of hard work, Zhang He led his troops to dig more than 30 tunnels, all of which reached the bottom of the city wall, and even many of them went deep into the center of Moro City.
He also led people to fabricate more than 1,500 rafts, large and small, and almost cut down the trees around the city of Moro.
Lu Xiangsheng even built a large flood embankment, and only waited for Su Lie's order to flood the city of Moro.
It's night, and the wind and rain are blowing.
Su Lie stroked his beard and laughed: "This is the great man of heaven, the whole army will pull out the camp tonight after breaking through the city of Moro, and the other generals will be responsible for retreating the heavy grain and grass to a high place, and the other generals will lead their troops to board the raft and stand by at any time." ” The rain continued to fall, and the embankment built by Lu Xiangsheng rose even higher, and the surging flood kept beating against the embankment, letting out an angry roar, as if it would tear Moro City to pieces at any moment.
Hearing the neighing of horses in the Han army's camp, the soldiers led their generals to climb the city wall in the rain, and as far as the eye could see, the Han army seemed to be retreating in the dark night, and the purpose was unknown.
"It's really strange, the Han army has besieged the city of Moro for two months, why did it suddenly retreat in the heavy rain" joined the army and pinched his chin, puzzled.
The soldier stretched out his hand to support the hat on top of his head: "Su Lie suddenly made a big move, there must be a conspiracy."
Pass my order, all the soldiers are not allowed to sleep tonight, they are all dressed neatly, brave the heavy rain to defend the city, and never give Su Lie a chance to break the city."
In the middle of the night, the Han army finished pulling out the camp, and in addition to the grain and grass transferred in advance, all the tents, carriages, equipment and other materials were transferred to the high ground.
In addition to Fu Zhi leading 10,000 men to guard the high places, Su Lie also ordered Zhang He to lead 30,000 horses to set up an ambush on the road from Moro City to Peshawar, catch the fish that slipped through the net, and strive to wipe out the Qin army trapped in the city.
As soon as the Han army had finished preparing, the embankment, which had exceeded the water storage, let out an earth-shattering roar, and the surging flood suddenly broke through the embankment, and swept towards the city of Moro with a roaring and rushing along the river channel dug by the Han army in advance.
"The whole army boarded the raft and launched a fierce attack on the Qin army in Moro City" Su Lie personally boarded the bamboo raft and gave the order to attack the city.
The Han army lit rain-proof lanterns on the rafts, and braved the heavy rain and followed the surging flood towards the city of Moro.
One by one, the swords were unsheathed, the bows and arrows were wound, and they shouted in unison, "Take the city of Moro, capture the army alive" The roaring flood was like a rushing river, and swept down towards the city of Moro.
After rushing around the city wall, it immediately poured into the excavated tunnel, shaking the foundation of the city wall.
The turbulent water is like a rushing wave, constantly lapping against the city walls, making a terrifying sound.
Wu Zixu's face was as earthy: "No wonder in the past half a month, Su Lie has not stormed the city, it turned out that he was preparing to flood Moro City."
Tonight's wind and rain, the flood is surging, this is clearly God helping the Han army."
There was a loud "boom", and under the violent impact of the flood, a city wall that had been in disrepair for a long time collapsed, and suddenly there was a gap more than three zhang wide.
The flood that had nowhere to drain poured into the city from the gap in an instant, and the flood of nearly a zhang was huge, and the Qin army who tried to block the gap was staggered, and many people were choked on a mouthful of turbidity, and their eyes were black and fell into the flood, and they drowned in the rushing torrent in an instant.
"Kill, capture Wu Yuan alive" Nearly 100,000 Han troops rode 1,500 rafts down to the foot of the castle, shouting and shouting while firing arrows at the city walls, shooting the helpless Qin army.
The flood rushed endlessly, constantly beating and eroding the city wall, and the flood in the tunnel continued to shake the foundation of the city wall, making many sections that were hit by the Han army staggering, and finally collapsed, and the roaring flood suddenly tore out a gap of several zhang or even more than ten zhang.
The rain stopped, the wind stopped, but the flood did not.
By daybreak, the city of Moro was devastated, and the flood had breached a dozen breaches.
The streets and alleys of the city were filled with muddy water that reached to the waist, and every house was soaked by the floodwaters, and many grass houses could not withstand the erosion and collapsed in the dark night.
The Kushan soldiers and civilians who were stoned to death by buildings, drowned by floods, and killed by the Han army floated in the flood, like dead fish, densely drifting with the current.
It flowed down the streets and alleys, and then was carried by the floods, and rushed out of the castle along the low openings, or floated to the edge of the flood and was hung by trees, or washed into the river, and finally disappeared without a trace.
After a night of fierce fighting, the fortified city of Moro was completely destroyed, nearly 80,000 defenders in the city were killed and wounded, tens of thousands were drowned by floods, tens of thousands were shot by the Han army, and even 100,000 people were not spared, and more than half of the dead were killed.
Under the cover of his generals, Wu Zixu led seven or eight thousand people to escape from the gap that was swept open by the flood on the only dozens of boats in the city.
In the case of life and death, he was unable to rescue the other people in the city, so he could only flee for his life along the road leading to Peshawar.
After walking for dozens of miles, suddenly a drum sounded, and Zhang He, who was in ambush, led 10,000 horses to kill him, and took Wu Zixu with a spear and a prancing horse: "Zhang Junyi of the river stream has been waiting here for a long time, do you still want to leave the lost dog?"
Wu Zixu was full of sorrow in his heart, urging the horse to hold up the gun, fighting to the death, and fighting hard with Zhang He for dozens of rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
Fortunately, thanks to the desperate protection of the generals, he was lucky enough to break through the blockade of the Han army, and fled for his life towards Peshawar in panic like a lost dog.
After walking for more than ten miles, he suddenly faced the dust, but it was Huang Feihu and the monk and apprentice who were ordered by Wu Qi to lead 40,000 elite soldiers to assist Su Lie in attacking Moro City.
Seeing a Qin army fleeing in panic, he raised his sword and gun to block the way, and shouted in unison: "You barbarian soldiers, if you don't quickly surrender on your knees and wait for death to come, it's too late to regret it."

Wu Zixu looked back, there were only about 3,000 soldiers and horses left behind him, and he clenched the spear in his hand at the moment and shouted: "There is no possibility of survival for us today, please follow me forward to fight to the death, even if you kill a Han soldier, you will die well."
When the words fell, Wu Zixu urged the horse to dance the spear and rushed into the Han army formation, a spear flew up and down, and more than ten Han soldiers were picked up in a row.
His eyes were wide open, he roared angrily, and he was determined to die.
In the midst of the chaos, Huang Feihu urged the yellow horse under his crotch, brandished an eighty-pound purple gold moyun pestle to take Wu Zixu directly, and after only one round, he knocked Wu Zixu's spear away.
The purple gold pestle of one zhang and two dragons swung their tails, swept Wu Zixu's back, and when he landed, he vomited blood and fell off the warhorse.
"Left and right, why are you tying up this Qin general for me" Huang Feihu immediately crossed the pestle and commanded the entourage behind him.
Wu Zixu knelt on one knee, drew his sword in his hand, and exclaimed sadly: "There is no hope for the revival of Great Qin, Your Majesty is powerless to return to heaven, what face does my Wu Yuan have in the world?"
Before the words fell, the horizontal sword killed itself, and the sharp blade tore a long bloody hole in the neck, blood splattered out, and the eight-foot-high body fell to the ground with a bang, and the soul returned to Huangquan and died in the country.
The city of Moro has almost been destroyed, Su Lie left a partial general to lead 5,000 people to reorganize a little, and he joined forces with Huang Feihu and Shang Shitu all the way, commanding nearly 200,000 horses, and marched along the post road day and night, killing Peshawar mightily.
The day of the destruction of Kushan was close at hand, which made the morale of the Han army high, and the fighting spirit was strong, and they could run at least 130 or 40 miles in a day, and they saw that they were getting closer and closer to Peshawar.
At the same time, the 80,000 troops of the Mauryan Kingdom led by Caesar also broke through Mingara, which was guarded by the prince of Fusu, with the help of Hannibal.
In the rain of arrows, Caesar's number one general, Anthony, ascended the city first, holding a shield in his left hand and wielding a heavy sword in his right hand, slashing and killing countless Qin troops along the way, and capturing Fusu, the crown prince of Qin, in one fell swoop.
At the end of the battle, Anthony wanted to kill Fusu to sacrifice the banner, but was stopped by Caesar: "This Fusu will still be useful in the future, and he will be kept alive for the time being." ” Anthony was puzzled: "The 300,000 Han army has already arrived at the city of Peshawar, Yingzheng is already a god and it is difficult to save it, and the death of Guishan is only in the morning."
What's the use of keeping this Fusu, killing it with a knife, using his head to honor the ancestors, and telling their soul that the Peacock Kingdom has been revived again" Caesar showed a worried expression: "One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, after the fall of Yingzheng, only our Peacock Kingdom and the Han army are left in the entire Kushan Continent."
On the side of the couch, how can the tiger sleep soundly, I'm afraid that Wu Qi will calculate us."
"What should I do?"
after listening to Caesar's words, Anthony woke up from a dream and asked in shock.
Caesar stroked the beard at the corner of his lips, and his face showed a sinister look: "Since the conflict between our Peacock Army and the Han Army is inevitable, let's strike first."
We must find an opportunity to deal with Wu Qi and Su Lie, so that the threat of the Han army will be reduced by at least half, and it will not be certain who will kill the deer at that time.
If we are lucky enough, maybe it is not impossible for our Peacock Kingdom to reunify the entire Kushan Continent and capture Taizhou of the Han army, or even march into Jiaozhou. ” t1706231537:
