Linzhou City, a city surrounded by mountains, was suddenly surrounded by Xixia.

Li Yuanhao surrounded Linzhou City and attacked several times, but Linzhou City was still in the hands of the Song army.

At this moment, Li Yuanhao was very anxious.

"Damn, these Song people are determined to practice defense now. Facing our army, they are so calm, as if they have to defend for a hundred years,"

"Your Majesty, let's slowly think of a solution," Green Maple Leaf said.

"Hey," Li Yuanhao sighed.

At this time, a Qiang man appeared and came to advise Li Yuanhao.

"Your Majesty, I know that there is no well in Linzhou City, and it is impossible to dig a well. If we can surround it, the Song army in the city will definitely surrender. How can they fight without water," said the Qiang man .

"Okay, it turns out there are no wells in Linzhou. That's great. God is really helping me," Li Yuanhao said.

"Send the order, surround Linzhou City and let them surrender without water," Li Yuanhao said.

At this time, Zhang Yong, the general of the Song Army in the city, was depressed.

Because there is only one sand spring in the city, if the Xixia army besieges it for a long time, there will definitely be no water in the city.

Although his soldiers resisted Li Yuanhao's attack tenaciously, if there is no water in the city in the future, how can he still fight?

Zhang Yong was a little anxious.

He thought that fortunately the Song Army had obtained the strategy book left by Fan Zhongyan, which stated that the battle with Xixia must be based on defense and joint defense. It also specified some methods of defending the city, so Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan were demoted. After that, the Song army that took over was still able to quickly learn from previous failures, and then most of the Song army could quickly follow the established strategy.

That means being able to defend tenaciously.

At this moment, Li Yuanhao's tens of thousands of troops looked menacing, and there was nothing they could do to Linzhou, a tiny place.

But how to solve this water problem, Zhang Yong was thinking there.

At this time, a soldier came forward.

This soldier looked a bit old. There are still such soldiers in our army. Zhang Yong was stunned for a moment when the soldier walked towards him.

"General Zhang, I have a plan to offer," the soldier said.

"Brother, please tell me, we are all brothers in the trenches. We can talk about anything at any time. As long as we can defeat the enemy, I will be heavily rewarded," Zhang Yong said.

"Okay, the enemy is surrounding us from all sides now. We can only besiege but not attack. It seems who told them that there is no well water in our city, so I guess Li Yuanhao wants to surround us at this moment. We only need to be in the ditch in the city. Take out the mud and pile it up high. Li Yuanhao will be shocked when he sees it. When he sees that time has passed and there is no hope of encircling us, he will definitely retreat," the soldier said.

"Okay, good strategy," Zhang Yong shouted loudly. He walked around in circles repeatedly, feeling more and more wonderful in his heart.

But when he turned around and looked back, the soldier was gone.

"Brother, big brother," Zhang Yong shouted.

But I didn't see him appear.

"Soldiers, come here," Zhang Yong called his soldiers.

Several soldiers ran over.

"General, are you calling us?" the soldiers said.

"Did you see that veteran leaving just now?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Veteran, I didn't see it," the soldiers all said.

"He clearly talked to me just now, but you didn't even see it," Zhang Yong was shocked.

"Yes, we have been looking here, but we haven't seen anyone," the soldier said.

"Did I just hallucinate," Zhang Yong said to himself.

Maybe it’s the gods, Zhang Yong thought, if so, I will win this time, it’s because the gods are helping me.

He suddenly became happy.

"Come here, pick up the silt from the ditches in the city and pile it up at the highest point in the city, preferably where you can see it from the mountains outside. Come on, everyone, do it," Zhang Yong shouted.

Soon, everyone scooped up a lot of ditch mud and piled it high.

After Li Yuanhao had been besieged for more than ten days, he stood on a high place outside the city and looked inside.

"Didn't you say that there are no wells in the city? The city still looks so tenacious in fighting strength," because Li Yuanhao saw that the soldiers in the city did not look weak.

At this time, he slowly looked up.

Suddenly, he saw the mud.

"What are those, tell me," Li Yuanhao asked.

At this time, Green Maple Leaf was by his side, and he also saw that after Molly's death, Green Maple Leaf was in charge of most things in the army.

Green Maple Leaf looked at the mud at the moment.

"These are silt, why is there so much silt there," Green Maple Leaf said.

"Did the Song army dig a well in the city?" Li Yuanhao was suddenly surprised.

"Yes, if you didn't dig a well, how could you get so much silt?" Green Maple Leaf said.

At this moment Li Yuanhao was getting more and more angry.

There is actually a well in the city. There is actually a well. I wasted more than ten days without attacking. I was waiting for the Song army to collapse without a fight due to lack of water. If I had known better, I would have kept attacking. Maybe the Song army would not survive. Now actually I wasted more than ten days.

The Song army is resting so well at the moment, and I will definitely suffer heavy losses if I attack again.

Li Yuanhao thought, the fire in his chest burned fiercely, it was that Qiang man, he might be an enemy spy.

"Come here, arrest that Qiang man from that day," Li Yuanhao said.

Several guards ran out in a hurry.

Soon, the guards captured the Qiang man.

"You said, you said there is no well in the city, look, what is there," Li Yuanhao shouted to him.

The Qiang people were suddenly arrested and were frightened to death. Now seeing Li Yuanhao furious, he didn't know how to explain it.

He looked in the direction Li Yuanhao pointed and saw silt accumulating there.

"I don't know, I don't know, why this is happening," the Qiang man murmured.

"You don't know, my army wasted here for more than ten days, and I lost the opportunity, how could I win," Li Yuanhao shouted.

The Qiang man was trembling all over now.

"I think you are a spy," Li Yuanhao was now even more convinced that this person was a spy of the Song Army.

He drew his sword and stabbed it into the Qiang man's heart.

The Qiang man screamed and fell to the ground, leaving blood on the grass. He struggled a few times, but stopped struggling.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Green Maple Leaf asked.

"Mom, we are ready here. Let's go to Fuzhou. Let's make a surprise attack wherever we go," Li Yuanhao said.

"Okay, I'll give the order and we'll besiege Fuzhou," Lu Maple Leaf said.

When Zhang Yong in the city saw the Xixia army withdrawing outside the city, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"General, they won't go back to Xixia. You see they are leaving with such ambition. Maybe they are going to attack our other places," his subordinate said to Zhang Yong.

"Yes, they must be attacking Fuzhou or Fengzhou. If anyone comes, hurry up and send a letter to the generals in these places to remind them," Zhang Yong said.

The men galloped away in a hurry.
