At this moment, the area in front of the city was silent.
It seemed as if the smoke of battle had moved away from this city.
This also left the guarding Wei Army somewhat puzzled.
"Itās been a month, why hasnāt the Qin Army attacked yet?"
"Indeed."
"Originally, I thought they would attack the day after they arrived, yet so much time has passed, and they havenāt shown any intention to attack other than shooting arrows daily."
"Iāve already prepared to kill these wretched people of Qin, but they still havenāt come, alas."
"Perhaps the Qin Army got scared of us."
"Your Majesty had us prepare for so long, yet we havenāt had a place to showcase our martial skills. I was ready to chop off the heads of the people of Qin to use as wine vessels."
"Wei Da, you only know how to brag. The other day when the Qin Army looked like they were about to attack, you were so scared you almost wet your pants."
"Hahaha."
Laughter erupted around.
Clearly,
After a month, the Wei Army was no longer as tense as they were initially.
At this moment,
"Somethingās not right."
"According to past practices, at this hour, the Qin Army would definitely be shooting arrows."
"Why havenāt they today?"
"And we canāt see a single Qin Soldier?"
A Wei Soldier spoke in a tone of surprise.
Hearing this,
Many other Wei Soldiers also showed peculiar expressions.
"Indeed."
"By this time, we would have been dodging arrows. Why is there no reaction from the Qin Army today?"
"This does seem a bit unusual."
"Shouldnāt we report this?"
"Of course, it should be reported."
"We must ask Your Majesty to make a decision."
"Quickly, report to Your Majesty..."
The residence of the lord!
"What did you say?"
"The Qin Army did not attack today? And there are no Qin soldiers stationed outside the city?"
Upon hearing this news, Wei Wujiās brows tightly knit, seemingly unexpected.
"Reporting to Your Majesty."
"Indeed, that is the case."
"It seems the Qin Army has completely retreated."
"And no trace of the Qin Army can be found outside the city. We do not understand the Qin Armyās intentions." The Wei General reporting was very sure.
Wei Wujiās brow furrowed, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart.
"The Qin Army has ceased harassment and even directly retreated?"
"Why?"
"For a month, they never attacked, only shooting arrows to harass, and now they have directly withdrawn their troops?"
"What are they planning?"
Wei Wuji muttered to himself, completely unable to see through the situation.
At this time!
Wei Wujiās gaze once again fell on the map he had pondered over for a long time.
Suddenly,
A flash of insight struck his mind.
Wei Wuji suddenly rushed to the map, his hands pressing on it, his eyes turning red, his whole body trembling.
"Your Majesty, what is wrong?"
The attendant in the hall immediately asked.
Wei Wujiās sudden demeanor was truly frightening.
"The great rivers, the Hong Gorge."
"Guide the waters of the two rivers to overturn our Daliang."
"Not...good..."
Wei Wujiās face turned deathly pale.
After a month,
Seeing the sudden retreat of the Qin Army, Wei Wuji seemed to have been struck awake like a thunderbolt, instantly understanding Zhao Fengās intent.
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
Many Wei Generals hurried over upon hearing the commotion, looking anxious as they saw Wei Wujiās pale face.
"Quick...quick, have all soldiers move to higher ground."
"Prepare for a flood defense."
"And, have the back gate smashed open, quickly."
"Hurry..."
Wei Wuji shouted loudly, his old face filled with urgency, leaving all the generals confused.
"Your Majesty, what exactly has happened?"
A nearby Wei General still did not feel the urgency.
"The Qin Army intends to dig through the great rivers and the waters of the Hong Gorge to flood our capital." Wei Wuji exerted his last bit of strength, shouting hoarsely.
As the words fell,
All the Wei Generalsā faces changed dramatically.
If these words had come from someone elseās mouth, they might not have believed it, but this was spoken by Wei Wuji himself.
This absolutely could not be false.
All the Wei Generalsā faces turned deathly pale at the same time.
Directing the waters of two large rivers, no matter how solidly the capital was built, it could not withstand it, and under the impact of the flood, all would turn to a watery expanse.
But now,
Even if Wei Wuji realized it, it was too late.
In the past, he had reinforced Daliang City to defend against the Qin, turning it into an iron barrel, sealing all the gates shut.
This not only made it difficult for outsiders to enter, but also made it hard for those inside to leave, with travel only possible through baskets.
What once defended against the Qin was now a prison, making escape impossible.
If their gates hadnāt been sealed, perhaps many could have escaped, preserving some strength, but now... itās all too late.
"Report."
"Your Majesty, reporting."
"The...the flood has come."
"The flood is rushing towards Daliang City, endless water."
A frightened Wei Soldier came to report, his expression terrified.
Upon hearing this,
Wei Wuji seemed to lose all strength, collapsing powerlessly.
Despair filled his old face.
"Defeated."
"Defeated indeed."
"Zhao Feng."
"What cunning, what strategy."
"Our centuries-old capital, after today, will be overturned and gone."
"Zhao Feng..."
Wei Wujiās voice was filled with bitterness and unwillingness.
To him, at this moment, everything seemed like a defeat.
Itās over!
Everything is over!
His Wei State will fall.
The idea of dragging the Qin Army to the grave with them also turned to naught.
And Qin will destroy his Wei State without shedding blood, without much cost.
At this moment.
The endless flood rushed towards the Capital of Wei, the place where the Great Qin Army Formation once stood was already swallowed by the flood, rapidly pushing towards Daliang City.
Wei had chosen a capital in a low-lying area, and the flood seemed almost guided, rushing frantically toward the Capital of Wei.
