    The endless ring-shaped camp of the Qin army surrounded the city of Babylon on three sides, which symbolized the origin of civilization, while the Qin army's fleet blocked the waterways of the city of Babylon on the Euphrates River.  ¡Ë The next day, Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng got up early, did a round of Tai Chi and practiced a set of Wu Qin Xi as usual.  After strengthening his body, he beat drums and gathered the generals to convene a military meeting.  After a while, fifteen generals and five military advisors of the Qin army arrived.  Qin Feng sat high on the dragon chair and said: "My dear friends, yesterday I tried to attack the city. The Romans built the city of Babylon like an iron barrel. A strong attack will definitely cause heavy losses. I wonder if you have any good strategies?" The generals will first look at the military advisor.  , military advisers all looked up to old Jia Xu, because Jia Xu was the second assistant.  Old Jia Xu shivered and thought to himself: "We didn't go to bed until midnight yesterday, but we didn't come up with an effective method" After all, he was the second assistant, so he walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the walls of Babylon are six meters high.  It is two feet long and two battles wide, with hundreds of towers for hiding soldiers, and countless arrow towers and military stacks" Qin Feng's face gradually darkened when he heard that Old Jia Xu just talked about how majestic the city of Babylon was and how difficult it was to attack.  .  The atmosphere in the imperial tent suddenly turned cold, and the officials couldn't help trembling. Jia Xu was frightened and said hurriedly: "Maybe we can dig up the Euphrates River and flood Babylon!" Qin Feng began to think about it.  At this time, Guo Jia came out and said: "No, this city of Babylon is built on the bank of the Euphrates River. This river often floods, and this city of Babylon has excellent water blocking measures. If water is released, the city will not be flooded, and there will be muddy water on the outside.  It is not conducive to our army's attack on the city." Tian Feng said: "It may be possible to attack the city with soil." Earth attack means digging tunnels, so the Qin army began to dig tunnels.  However, the Romans were also a war-experienced people.  Quite protective.  Three days later, digging tunnels yielded no results.  The ministers have no good solution.  Then the only option is to attack by force.  Qin Feng was a little angry and said: "There was a test yesterday. Five thousand people died. Although Ci does not control soldiers, he cannot ignore the lives of soldiers." The ministers bowed and said pitifully: "The emperor loves his soldiers like his own sons.  " Qin Feng let out a breath and thought: "In ancient times, an army with a powerful city was not afraid of ten times the number of enemies. Therefore, it is common for a powerful city to last for more than ten years.  For example, the city of Xiangyang and Jiafan is also close to the river, which is similar to Babylon on the Euphrates River. " So.  Qin Feng did not make excessive demands, so he dismissed the meeting and ordered the ministers to carefully think of solutions and work together after they returned.  Five days later, Emperor Hongwu held another military meeting, but without any good results.  Qin Feng was very depressed, but he calmly dismissed the meeting and ordered the ministers to go back and study it carefully.  ¡°Another ten days later¡­.  "How?" Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair.  Looking at his generals and military advisors, he said rather unkindly.  Ministers, you look at me, and I look at you, for more than half a month.  They also worked hard, circling Babylon at least three times a day.  However, the city of Babylon was located on the Great Plains, and the Qin army had no terrain to rely on.  Unless attacked by force or besieged.  There is really no other good way.  Qin Feng became anxious, patted the imperial book case in front of him and said angrily: "You are trapped in a small Babylon. You are talking about the road to glory and defeating Rome!" He slapped the case and stood up, "I want you to  , there is" The ministers were very ashamed. Zhao Yun and other generals lowered their heads, and Guo Jia and other military advisors flushed.  "Attack, attack, attack all the way, how many people are going to die!" Qin Feng's angry voice was the only thing left in the imperial tent, "Severu saw this, he set up three lines of defense, this is the weakest  The first step. He has not even entered the core local area" Throughout his military life, Emperor Hongwu loved his soldiers as much as his son. Whenever he encountered an attack on a city, he always resorted to strategy and almost never stormed a city.  However, fighting in this foreign land, the Qin army did not have the right location and people. In addition, Babylon was in the most fertile plain area, so the Qin army had difficulty borrowing strength. Therefore, the military advisers and generals had no good solution.  But as Qin Feng said, he was stumped. He was still talking about defeating Rome and the road to glory.  Qin Feng was so angry that he started to punish the "incompetent ministers" by beating them up and smashing them.  Even a brave general like Zhao Yun was frightened and blamed himself under the wrath of Emperor Hongwu.  The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.  Qin Feng was angry because he was afraid that after the city was broken, he would have millions of corpses lying on his body.  Qin Feng sat down angrily, punched the imperial book case with a bang, veins popped out on his forehead, and said angrily: "Don't leave, including me, if you can't think of a good strategy, no one should leave.  Now that I'm abroad, my brain is no longer easy to use. Come here, please bring chairs for all the princes and nobles. Don't make your body too tired.????????????????  " When the ministers heard this, cold sweat broke out on their heads. The chairs were delivered, but no one dared to sit on them. Qin Feng was a little anxious. To be honest, he still had a trump card. It would be no problem to open the defense of Babylon. However, where did this go? The city of Rome must be even more difficult.  Difficult to attack, ¡°must use the most critical moment!  " At this time, the curtain of the inner tent swayed, and when the officials peeked, they saw the historian Xin Xianying walking out holding a tea tray with a cup of tea on it.  She walked closer, knelt and presented it to him, saying: "Your Majesty, please calm down"  " Qin Feng's expression softened somewhat, and he reached for the tea bowl. The ministers secretly wiped away cold sweat and said to themselves: "Thanks to the Xin historians Hui'an, Shuyi, and Minli Tianxiang for coming out to save us.  "Everyone was so excited that they actually used the praise of the concubine on Shiguan Xin without realizing it. Qin Feng took a sip of tea, and his brows immediately wrinkled. He felt that the taste was wrong, and it was not like the previous tribute.  The tea looked like tea leaves. Xianying saw it and hurriedly bowed: "This Babylonian water is not as sweet as our Chinese water, and this is what it tastes like when it comes out.  " "Water, water quality!  Qin Feng suddenly showed joy and said continuously: "Okay, okay, great, that's it!"  " When the ministers saw that the emperor was suddenly happy again, they were dumbfounded and said to themselves: "If it weren't for Shi Guan Xin, the emperor would be happy after a cup of tea!  " "Historian Xin's reminder is good, I will reward you  "Qin Feng finished speaking happily and felt a little dizzy. After all, his little tail is a woman. It would be inappropriate to be knighted or given a military medal. Therefore, Qin Feng did not finish the reward. He just said  I thought I would reward him well in the evening, so he said, "Go down first."  "  , the city of Babylon is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordinary methods are difficult to achieve. I can't blame you for not paying attention.  " The ministers burst into tears of gratitude and said: "We are incompetent, please punish the emperor.  " Qin Feng smiled and comforted the ministers and stood up, and said: "So, we must win by surprise. Let's do this and this, and sprinkle alkali salt in the well.  Without water, the Romans would lose their ability to fight within a few days, and they would be able to capture Babylon without any effort.  " At this statement, the officials were shocked. Pang Tong was the first to come out and shouted: "Your Majesty, this method has never been used before, and it will definitely be able to break the city!  " So, the ministers sang a hymn and said: "My thoughts are solidified and have limitations. The emperor is wise and has no limitations. Only then can he come up with such a wonderful plan.  "At this time, Jushou came out and said carefully: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to sneak into the city. How can we use alkali salt to destroy the water source of the Romans?  "The ministers were stunned, and immediately stopped singing, "Yes, the city of Babylon was guarded by the Romans like an iron barrel, and water could not be poured into it. How could it be put into the well in the city?  " It seems that the emperor is also wishful thinking. The method is good, but "there is no way." The ministers shook their heads for a while, "Such a brilliant plan, it is a pity that it cannot be implemented!  " Qin Feng laughed and said: "Who said we have to enter the city? We can just dig a well outside the city and put it into the well.  "Ouch! The ministers covered their hearts and said to themselves that the emperor is so angry with us that it has no use outside the city. Guo Jia mustered up his courage and went out of work to comfort him: "Your Majesty, dig a well outside the city and spread it.  Salt is useless.  Your Majesty, don't worry too much. We will definitely come up with an effective method to avoid heavy losses during the siege.  " Zhao Yun also came out and consoled him: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the three armies are practicing siege techniques day and night.  Even if it means death, I am willing to conquer Babylon for my great Qin.  "The ministers did not dare to say that the emperor was angry and confused, so they all said: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body"  " Qin Feng's eyebrows trembled wildly, and he thought to himself: "It seems that he doesn't understand geology.  "So, Qin Feng held back his anger and explained, "So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so. The underground is divided into many layers, and the groundwater is alive. Like the big rivers, it also leads directly to the sea.  The Persian Sea is in the southeast, so if we dig wells in the northwest, we will definitely destroy the water source in the city.  "The river is going eastward and the waves are surging, and the underground water is also going eastward and the waves are surging underground. The ministers trembled when they heard it for the first time. "It's true!  "Lao Jia Xu asked boldly. Qin Feng smiled and said: "As expected, there is no need to doubt it.  "The ministers exploded. We don't know how the emperor knew. The emperor is a saint, and only saints know."Things that people don¡¯t know.  Lao Jia Xu praised: "The emperor's sage taught us the principles of geology!" So, from this time on, the way to be a general changed from knowing astronomy to knowing geography.  Geography, you also need to know the structure of the underground, only then can you be invincible in every battle.  In this regard, among the many titles of Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng, he added the title of geologist, and he was cited as the originator of geology in later generations.  "However, this plan requires a large amount of alkali salts to be successfully implemented, but it doesn't matter, not far away is the Persian Gulf, and there are a lot of them in the sea.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: Thanks to: Zize Kongxue, Shit, Laughter, Hongchenzui, Hongyan for voting monthly.
