However, once Zhang Xutuo, who controlled the main force of the Sui Dynasty, was defeated by Li Mi, and then Luokou Cang and the canal fell into Li Mi's hands, the Sui Dynasty was completely exhausted.
"However, if this were not the case, how could Yuwen Valve ever succeed?"
Du Yu thought for a while, ignored Zhang Xutuo's matter, and ordered the ship to continue sailing.
"After passing the Tiger Leaping Gorge ahead, we will reach Luoyang." Yuwen Wudi said.
"Tiger Leaping Gorge?" Du Yu checked on the map, observed the terrain, and took a breath of air.
This Tiger Leaping Gorge is the last dangerous pass for the canal to enter Luoyang.
Du Yu would never believe that he had robbed Li Clan of his account books and robbed him of 3,000 sets of weapons. Li Shimin would swallow his breath and return to Taiyuan in despair, waiting for Du Yu to issue a writ of censorship and then kill him at his neck.
He will definitely use all his strength to prevent himself from meeting Hunjun.
This Tiger Leaping Gorge is the last pass.
????????????????????????????????]
If you can't get through, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and the ship will sink in the sand.
"How many soldiers do we have?" Du Yu asked Yuwen Wudi.
Yuwen Wudi thought deeply: "We passed through Pengcheng and suffered a lot of losses. We still have 9,000 soldiers who can fight. There are still 11 Wuya ships, and Pengliang will capture about 20 warships."
Du Yu decisively ordered: "Then it will be like this."
A huge fleet slowly sailed into the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
The Tiger Leaping Gorge is a dangerous pass, only five feet wide at its narrowest point. Above it is a towering mountain with a height of thousands of meters, overlooking the entire river.
As long as someone occupies the top of the mountain and throws down huge rocks, he can easily control the river and attack the fleet.
This fleet, flying the flag of the Yuwen Clan, consists of 11 large five-tooth ships. It was heavily guarded, with many swords and guns, and golden armor. It was obvious that Yuwen Clan was very wary of passing through the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
At the top of the mountain. Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his hands, looking proudly at the huge Yuwen clan fleet.
Behind him were Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Li Jing. Also standing was a young beauty with outstanding appearance and gentle temperament. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked elegant. She was Li Shimin's sister Li Xiuning.
In front of Li Xiuning, Kou Zhong did not have the humorous temperament that he usually used to scold Fang Qiu. He was like a Taoist scholar, imitating Li Shimin and standing with his hands behind his back. Just a pair of eyes, peeking at Li Xiuning from time to time.
Xu Ziling was secretly amused.
It¡¯s really interesting that Kou Zhong, who aspires to dominate the world, fell in love with Li Xiaozi¡¯s girl at first sight.
But Li Xiuning only chatted and laughed with one young talent next to her. The young man with extraordinary temperament and a little arrogance was her fianc¨¦, Chai Shao, the empress of the famous family. No matter how flirtatious Kou Zhong was, he was just flirting with the blind man.
This made Kou Zhong very discouraged.
"This Yu Wenyu is indeed very wary of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Unfortunately, our preparations are more complete than he imagined, don't you think? Koo Zhong?" Li Shimin turned around and asked calmly.
Kou Zhong was caught off guard: "Ah? That's that."
Chai Shao said disdainfully: "Brother Kou Zhong, Shimin is talking to you. You'd better concentrate on this battle.'
The look in his eyes. He glanced at Kou Zhong disdainfully, clearly despising and warning this poor boy who kept peeking at his fianc¨¦e.
Xu Ziling¡¯s eyes turned cold.
No one can underestimate these two brothers.
Li Shimin coughed: "Chai Shao, don't be like this. Brothers Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling will have unlimited achievements in the future. They are standing in the same trench with us at this time. In short, we must win this battle. Give Na Yuwen a life-long promise An unforgettable lesson!¡±
He is so upright that everyone admires him.
The beautiful noblewoman Li Xiuning walked up to her brother and gently arranged the wrinkled clothes in his armor.
Chai Shao smiled bitterly, Li Xiuning's favorite was still his brother Li Shimin.
He will not be jealous of Li Shimin. After all, they are brothers and sisters, and there is no need to avoid suspicion.
But from an angle that no one could see, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Li Shimin's eyes as he looked at Li Xiuning, who was very close at hand.
Especially at this time, the north was heavily influenced by Hu Feng, and women's clothing was bold and hot. Even Li Xiuning, who has not yet left the court, is elegantly wearing a tulle shawl on the outside, but wearing a low-cut and deep-V silk dress on the inside, squeezing two ivory-white plump jade rabbits tightly, revealing the charming depths of her virginity. ditch.
Li Xiuning, who lowered his head, had no idea that his brother was peeping at his breasts. He arranged them gently and whispered: "Second brother, you must be careful this time. I heard that Na YuWen Yu is not only invincible in his magical skills and well-organized, but also has the help of the dragon Jiang Jiao. Everyone said he was the future Mr. Right. "
Li Shimin laughed loudly and pinched Li Xiuning's fat-skinned face: "What kind of divine dragon is he? Actually, it is, but it's just spreading rumors. Don't worry, sister. Later, brother will show you what the real divine dragon is. Wei?"
He smiled at the corner of his mouth and tickled Li Xiuning's nose, as if everything was under his control, directing and distributing everything.
Li Xiuning wrinkled her little nose and snorted cutely: "Brother, just brag. I want to see what the so-called power of heaven is?"
But having said that, Li Shimin¡¯s talent and strategy, not to mention Chai Shao and Li Xiuning, even Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling and Li Jing, who were working together for the first time, also admired his leadership temperament.
This fleet of 11 large five-tooth ships sailed out of the Tiger Leaping Gorge without any incident.
Now, even Du Yu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Li Shimin was selling in his gourd?
On the big five-tooth ship, on the high seat headed by the leader, there was a pair of beautiful men sitting.
Du Yu and Shen Luoyan, the former Li Mi military advisor who was newly admitted to the room, hugged each other and ignored the gazes of tens of thousands of soldiers while they were flirting and drinking.
Seeing Shen Luoyan, a stunning beauty, fall into Yu Wenyu's arms, Li Shimin's eyes showed a trace of regret. Then he saw Du Yu's unnoticed pride and briskness, and a smile of victory appeared on the corner of his mouth. With a big wave of his hand: "Activate!"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Yuwen clan fleet sailed out of the Tiger Leaping Gorge safely, and everyone felt relaxed. They even celebrated and discussed returning to Luoyang. How to have fun in a brothel.
In fact, as long as the natural barrier of Tiger Leaping Gorge is broken through, even if Li Clan's army invades, this Sui Dynasty navy, which has experienced hundreds of battles, will not be afraid.
What¡¯s more, it¡¯s hundreds of miles around. Although it was desolate due to the destruction of the war, the Li clan had to dispatch tens of thousands of troops to fight against the Yuwen clan, and it could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the world. Doing so was really the same as treason.
Therefore, everyone in the fleet believes it. Li Clan retreated this time.
But the good times didn¡¯t last long. After driving for a mile, I suddenly discovered to my surprise that the bottom of the boat kept making squeaking sounds.
An experienced sailor looked down and shouted in despair: "It's a wolf's tooth thorn! A wolf's tooth thorn!"
The wolf tooth thorn is a sharpened log placed at an angle of 45 degrees at the bottom of the river shoal. Used to block river channels and pierce the bottom of incoming ships.
??Under this seemingly calm water. Hundreds of spikes were actually installed.
What a huge amount of work this is!
Those who have the ability to do this must be high-ranking officials.
"Still the same old thing, Li Clan is really uncreative." Yuwen Wudi said lazily: "Either blocking the river, or sending out water ghosts, and trebuchets to attack from up and down, can you have some new ideas?"
As if to answer his question. Suddenly, an unusual ripple wave appeared on the calm river!
"Why is the water level so low?" A sergeant pointed to the river.
Many people feel that the water level of the Grand Canal seems to have suddenly dropped a lot, and the waterline of the ship's side has suddenly dropped by as many as several meters.
It seems like there is a dragon king. Suddenly all the water was sucked away in one breath, and the river suddenly sank.
Suddenly, "Shen Luoyan" in Du Yu's arms pricked up his ears, listened attentively, and said to Du Yu: "No! Why did I hear the abnormal sound of the tide?"
These words resonated a lot.
Du Yu also said: "Yes, but it sounds like the tide is pouring in. But this is the inland Grand Canal, where does the tide come from?"
The two looked at each other and their expressions changed.
Du Yu then stood up and shouted: "Listen, everyone, abandon ship! Abandon ship!"
The reason why he is so decisive is because he has a very solid understanding of various water features in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.
At the same time, Du Yu's heart arose with an irresistible suspicion.
How can people of this era understand?
Many Sui Dynasty soldiers were at a loss for Du Yu's order.
????????????????????????????? Why did you abandon the ship and run away? Wouldn't this give Li Clan a chance to capture him alive without any effort?
But there is no doubt about Du Yu¡¯s order.
The chaotic abandonment of ship finally began.
Hundreds of Sui Dynasty soldiers jumped into the Grand Canal and swam desperately to the other side.
Since there is a forest on the south bank, the possibility of an ambush is high, so Du Yu chose the direction to break out, which was the north. There is a vast plain,Not easily ambushed.
The Sui troops on board the 11 five-toothed ships jumped into the water to escape and climbed wet to the other side.
While some people were secretly cursing that the third young master was going crazy, suddenly, there was a earthquake upstream!
Like thousands of horses galloping.
The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty finally changed their colors.
From the western horizon, a white line came from the river!
This line is getting bigger and bigger quickly!
It¡¯s actually a huge flood!
This huge tide is dozens of feet high, like a giant yellow dragon that has just broken free from its shackles, roaring and crashing crazily in the river!
At this time, the canal in the Sui Dynasty had only been open to navigation for more than ten years. The strong embankments that had just been built on both sides of the river were all paved with large green stones and reinforced with mixed soil slurry. They could withstand the once-in-a-hundred-year flood. However, during this flood peak , trembling constantly, like a dilapidated house in a heavy rain, the dam may be breached at any time! The weeping willows and other trees on both sides of the river embankment were uprooted by the flood peak and swept over with them.
Wherever the flood peak passes, it sweeps everything across and is completely unstoppable! (To be continued)
