On the city wall, Hu Ming was originally the only one who stayed on the city wall and did not leave, and the remaining families were all dispersed.

At this moment, when they heard the news of movement outside, they all rushed back. Just as they watched the Yuzhi army under the city doing fortifications, they couldn't help but let go of all their hearts that had just been raised.

"Hahaha, they actually want to dig tunnels into Yining City, but they can come up with it."

Wu Dazhi, the head of the family who said Mo Zizai was afraid, laughed the happiest. He pointed to the Yuzhi army outside and spoke to everyone: "Even a few years old boys know that the foundations of these cities are built into one. They actually want to dig tunnels in. It's so funny to me."

"With this skill, they might as well smash the city wall directly, so it would be easier. It's such a group of idiots."

"The Wu family leader is right. If you want to dig a tunnel into the city, I think they are probably crazy."

In the morning, when the old man of the Wu family died, Feng Jinxiong, the head of the Feng family who divided the Wu family business, smiled and echoed Wu Dazhi, giving people the feeling that the two of them were very close.

Although the others did not speak up and agree with them, they were almost the same in their minds. They all felt that Mo Zizai had some problems with his brain, otherwise he would not have come up with such a stupid solution.

Only Hu Ming looked at the Yuzhi Army outside the city without saying a word, and expressed no comments.

As a qualified general, he never felt that any enemy was stupid, because it was irresponsible to himself and the lives of his soldiers.

So when he saw the Yuzhi Army digging fortifications, his first reaction was that Mo Zizai was dug into a stupid tunnel, but he did not draw a conclusion. Instead, he looked at the Yuzhi Army below and observed carefully.

"What's wrong!"

Hu Ming looked at the Yuzhi army under the city and suddenly realized that something was wrong. There were too many soldiers coming out of the Yuzhi army camp to excavate fortifications, right?

Although the distance was a bit far and he didn't see it in detail, just by estimating it so roughly, he knew that there must be more than 5,000 people coming out to excavate the fortifications.

This situation is simply abnormal. Who would use thousands of people to dig tunnels when siege the city? What's more, Mo Zizai only had 20,000 or 30,000 people in his hands. After so many of them all at once, can he fight this battle?

"Mr. Hu, what's wrong?"

Feng Jinxiong, who was making friends with Wu Dazhi, was always paying attention to Hu Ming. When he heard his low voice, he immediately turned around and asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Their number is not right."

Hu Ming had no intention of hiding it, and said directly: "Look, there must be at least five or six thousand people who come out of the Yuzhi Army camp to dig tunnels, right? But how could it take so many people to dig tunnels? And they are digging from such a distance, which is a bit too abnormal, right?"

"Five or six thousand people?"

After hearing Hu Ming say this, Feng Jinxiong also reacted and looked out of the Yuzhi Army camp. After a while, he nodded and confirmed: "There are indeed five or six thousand people, but why do they feel strange when working?"

Feng Jinxiong looked at the busy Yuzhijun over there and felt something strange, but he didn't realize it, so he couldn't help but lower his head and think, "What's wrong?"

"Hey, Lao Yang, do you think they are digging out?"

Just as Feng Jinxiong was thinking hard, Wu Dazhi couldn't help but laugh as he looked outside the city, "These fools, they have even gotten the direction wrong. They are fine, haha!!!"

“Dig out???”

Feng Jinxiong and Hu Ming were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other, and then they didn't have time to say anything, so they went directly to the excavation site of the Zhizhi Army.

"It was indeed dug out."

I didn't pay much attention before, but now after Wu Dazhi reminded me, they found that the Yuzhi army was indeed digging tunnels from inside to outside.

"Faced outside...Faced outside..."

Hu Ming muttered a few times in his mouth, and then suddenly said, "Come on, bring the map!!!"

"No need to take it."

Feng Jinxiong knew what Hu Ming wanted to see, so he stopped him directly, and then spoke in a bitter tone: "I am very familiar with the terrain of Yining City. If I guess correctly, the direction they were digging was Qianlang River!"

"Thousand... Thousand Waves River..."

As a general guarding the city, Hu Ming naturally had already familiarized the terrain near Yining City, and Qianlang River was naturally familiar with the Spring of Life in Yining City.

But at this moment, when he heard the three words Qianlanghe, he couldn't help feeling a little cold in his heart.

Originally, although the terrain of Yining City is lower than that of Qianlang River, it is still much higher than other places. Once the Qianlang River breaks, the river water will definitely flow to a lower place, rather than flooding towards Yining City. Therefore, Qianlang River cannot threaten Yining City at all.

So one day after he came to Yining City, he had already abandoned the possibility of water attack from his heart.

But at this moment, seeing Mo Zizai excavating fortifications with great fanfare, the possibility of water attack appeared in his heart. Now it is the autumn flood and the water level rises. If the Qianlang River breaks its dam and the river water hits directly towards Yining City, the entire city of Yining City will turn into a terrible country. Not to mention defending the city, it is hard to say whether they can survive the flood.

In addition to Feng Jinxiong, the heads of these aristocratic families also have many smart people. So when Hu Ming and Feng Jinxiong both said this, they instantly understood what they meant and asked in disbelief: "What do you mean is Mo Zizai will flood the city?"

"No, this is impossible."

After the initial shock, Feng Jinxiong immediately came to his senses. He didn't care about answering the questions of other heads of the family and asked Hu Ming directly, saying: "The terrain of Yining City is much higher than that of other places. Even if they dug the Qianlang River to break the dam, the water will only flow further south, and it will not flood our Yining City at all!"

"In theory, it cannot flood Yining City."

Hu Ming hesitated for a moment and wanted to hide his thoughts, but he thought that even if he didn't say it, he would be able to react when the man saw the speed of Mo Zizai's excavation fortifications. So he didn't say it at this moment, but instead added some barriers. So he finally said to the truth: "But the information from Zhaoyuan City before said that Mo Zizai's subordinates seemed to be physically cultivators."

"All of them are physical cultivation warriors? So what..."

Feng Jinxiong suddenly stopped talking, and then his eyes widened, his eyes full of shock.

"Three...thirty thousand physical cultivation warriors?"

Feng Jinxiong's voice was trembling at this moment. He looked at Hu Ming with hope, hoping that Hu Ming would tell him that he was joking.

“Not as much as 30,000.”

Hu Ming shook his head and said, "It should be less than 20,000. When he was attacking Zhaoyuan City, the Yuzhi army had only 20,000 people. The remaining ten thousand should be the mobs added to Zhaoyuan City."

“What’s the difference???”

Feng Jinxiong was almost collapsed. Is it a big difference between 20,000 and 30,000? They only need to divide 5,000 warriors to dig this river. At most two months, or even less, Qianlang River can be directly diverted to Yining City.

No wonder he just thought that the soldiers of the Yuzhi Army were quick to move, they were all very warriors. How could this move be unfast?

"We can't let them dig like this anymore!"

Except for Wu Dazhi, the other heads of the family also understood. They looked at the Yuzhi army outside the city with a gloomy expression and said, "If they were asked to dig like this, they would not have to attack the city at all. Then we would all die in Qianlang River."

"Why don't you let them dig? Will you send troops to attack them?"

Hu Ming glanced at the head of the family who spoke indifferently. Mo Zizai could clearly start digging from Qianlang River, causing them to be flooded by Qianlang River without knowing it, but he didn't do this, clearly trying to force them out of the city to fight.

But if you leave the city, how can you leave the city?

Mo Zizai's Red Flame Dragon Knight came out from where it came out. The people and horses were all heavily armored, and they were all wrapped like iron cans. They went out of the city and fought against this kind of iron can on the plain. This is not what I gave to people!

"What should I do if I don't send troops?"

Feng Jinxiong took a deep breath. At this time, he also realized Mo Zizai's sinister intentions, but they had no choice.

"If we just watched them divert Qianlang River to this point, and when Yining City is flooded, we will be dead, even worse than the end of fighting after leaving the city."

After all, if you lose and still surrender, you may not be able to save your lives, but the people in their family may be fine.

But if Yining City is flooded, it is hard to say that water and fire are ruthless. No matter your status, once it is flooded throughout the whole process, there will definitely be few people who can survive among their families.

"He dared not do this!"

Hu Ming pondered for a long time, then said, "There are not only our defenders in the city, but also hundreds of thousands of people."

"Mo Zizai represents the court after all, and these people are his subjects in name only. If he drew water to flood Yining City, these people would definitely not be spared. I don't believe that he dares to bear such a bad reputation!"

"Did you not wake up?"

After someone else's explanation, Wu Dazhi understood what was going on. At this moment, he was pale and angry when he heard Hu Ming saying this. He stepped forward and pointed at Hu Ming's nose and said, "Don't you know what Mo Zizai's reputation? He even killed important officials in the court like slaughtering pigs and dogs. Do you think he would take it to heart if he only had hundreds of thousands of people?"

"I dare not recite it yet. Go and ask the ministers in the court who were beheaded by him. Do Mo Zizai dare to do it!!!"

As soon as Wu Dazhi said this, the city wall immediately fell into silence. The heads of the family agreed with Wu Dazhi's idea after just thinking for a while. However, this was said from Wu Dazhi's mouth, which surprised them a little. Unexpectedly, Wu Dazhi could even say such reasonable words, which was really impressive.

“Different…”

Hu Ming was about to explain something, but Wu Dazhi was interrupted without hesitation, "Stop talking nonsense, in my opinion, it's all the same!"

"This Yining City is the Yining City we are waiting for. It is not yours. It is our tribe who is flooded to death. It is not yours. You don't care about them, we can care!"

"Anyway, we must not just watch them change Qianlang River to this point. I don't believe it anymore. The 100,000 army can still defeat him 30,000 people!"

"What does Master Wu mean?"

Hu Ming saw Wu Dazhi speak without any mercy, and couldn't help but be furious and said, "Since Hu came to Yining City, there are some unscrupulous things in the city."

"Are you doubting me or my teacher's sincerity at this moment? Have you forgotten how your current status came about?"

As Hu Ming rebuked, Hu Ming's personal guards immediately leaned over. They pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, and looked at the heads of these aristocratic families with a faint sense of badness.

Seeing the angry Hu Ming bringing out Situ Yao's name, the other heads of the aristocratic families knew that this person was really angry. Looking at the soldiers around him, if there was something wrong, Wu Dazhi might have blood splattered on the spot today.

"Mr. Hu calms down, calms down."

Seeing the scene reaching a deadlock, Feng Jinxiong hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "He is also anxious and has no malicious intentions. I hope Mr. Hu will not take his words to heart."

"We aristocratic families are all supported by Lord Situ, so naturally only Lord Situ is the leader. Please rest assured about this."

After saying the scene, Feng Jinxiong changed his mind and persuaded him: "However, although the leader of the Wu family is unpleasant, there are some things that are reasonable."

"We will definitely die if we wait for Qianlang River to change course. If we leave the city, there will be a glimmer of hope."

"What's more, we have a hundred thousand troops in our hands, which is not without a chance of winning."

As he said that, Feng Jinxiong took the initiative to speak out and analyzed to Hu Ming: "Mr. Hu, look at it. Now Mo Zizai has five or six thousand people digging the river. Let's conservatively estimate that they only have five thousand people. In this way, Mo Zizai has only twenty-five thousand soldiers."

"And out of these 25,000 people are the defeated generals he recruited from Zhaoyuan City. It is not easy for them to control them and not to disintegrate. As for their strength, there is no need to worry about it."

After saying that, Feng Jinxiong spoke and concluded: "In other words, what we really need to face is only more than 10,000 people."

"And even if there is the Red Flame Dragon Knight, our advantage lies in it."

"Since that's the case, why can't we fight? Is Mr. Mo Fuhu not sure if he wins 100,000 people?"

"War is not a calculation, the risk of going out of the city is too high!"

Hu Ming was a little angry when Feng Jinxiong's agitated, 100,000 to 20,000. Even if he left the city to fight, he was still confident of winning. But the problem was that he went out of the city to fight, and the loss was too great.

Yining City is an important chess piece for the teacher, so in his plan, he must ensure the military strength of Yining City to the greatest extent, so that he can defend Yining City in subsequent wars. So deep in his heart, he is unwilling to leave the city to collide with Mo Zizai head-on.

“There is no risk in anything you do.”

Hearing Hu Ming say this, Feng Jinxiong put away the smile on his face, pointed at the soldiers on the city wall, and said lightly: "Mr. Hu, these soldiers are all looking at the Yuzhi Army outside the city."

"In a short period of time, they may not be able to guess what the Yuzhijun is doing, but if it takes a long time, do you think they will not be able to guess? And if they really can't guess, do you think Mo Zizai will not spread his intentions?"
