"Uncle Guo, I heard a very strange sound. It sounded like the sound of water."

Zeng De scolded: "Nonsense, where does the water come from? "Go, dig it open and see what the people inside are doing."

He wasn't afraid that there would be elite soldiers in the tunnel, it couldn't be too wide, it shouldn't be able to hold too many people. Even if there were elite soldiers inside, it would be impossible for them to rush out in one go. They had dug a huge hole, and once the people inside came out, they would fall into it.

Zeng De's face revealed a vicious expression as he hatefully said, "Guard here, dig open the hole and pour hot oil into it."

"Yes."

When Zeng De turned around, he showed an expression of disapproval. If it wasn't for the fact that he was the Emperor's own uncle, no one would have listened to his orders.

The few of them lazily and slowly began digging the hole. They actually hoped that Shang Qiuyuan would be able to break through Fumu so that they wouldn't defend it. When the time came, they would even lose their lives.

"Something's not right. Why is the sound of the water getting clearer?"

One of the soldiers asked doubtfully. At this moment, the others had also heard the sound of water.

"Let's go up first and wait to see what happens. Since Imperial Uncle has already left, it's better for us to keep our lives first."

Several soldiers climbed up to the top of the crater and began to whisper with each other, discussing what to do in the future.

"In my opinion, we should surrender to Prince Consort Ma right now. With Uncle Guo's muddleheaded brain, how could he possibly be a match for Prince Consort?" "Sooner or later, Feng Rong City will be breached, and then it will be too late for us to surrender."

"Shh, lower your voice. Be careful, if others hear it, tell Imperial Uncle that we won't be able to keep our heads. A few days ago, the Imperial Uncle had just beheaded General Fei. General Fei Can only say one thing. The city is in danger … "

"Rumble …"

Before he could finish his sentence, the loud and clear sound of water could be heard. Huge streams of water gushed out of the hole he had dug just now, spurting high into the air and landing on the ground.

The ice-cold water instantly fell on the soldiers nearby and soaked their armor.

"Oh my god, how could there be water? Not good, run! "

Someone shouted. Turbulent streams of water continued to spew out from the hole. The hole, which was initially half a man's height, was now washed away by the current and flooded. Soon, it covered a large area of the ground.

It was the same in the other tunnel. Water kept gushing out and spreading on the ground. Many soldiers' shoes and pants were getting wet. The current was very strong, and once he found a place to escape, the ground quickly turned into a vast ocean.

At this moment, the hole could no longer be seen. Only water could be seen coming out of the hole.

"Not good, where did the water come from? Could it be that the heavens also know that Prince Consort Ma has a huge grievance against him, so they secretly helped him so that he would be as fertile as the waters in the ocean? "

In such a low-lying area, the water was knee-deep. In such a cold weather, it was difficult for even a horse or a human to stand in the water. And all the people, those who had horses, and those who had no horses, went up to the walls or high places to escape the flood.

The defenses and houses near the city wall quickly accumulated more than a foot of water, making it difficult for them to move. Those soldiers were caught up in the cold water, not having much fighting strength left. They all searched for a place to hide in order to avoid the water.

Some climbed the trees, some climbed the walls and roofs of the houses. The residents panicked and began climbing up the trees one by one. No one knew how big the flood would be in the end.

It turned out that Shang Qiuyuan had secretly dug a tunnel, which had led to the appearance of fertile water.

He also understood that this was just a temporary measure, given the size of the city. When the people of Fengcong City reacted, it wouldn't be of much use. After all, the fertile ground was quite high, and he had only dug the tunnel down until it was connected to the fat water.

Because the water flow had reached the narrow passageway, it was exceptionally fast, which was why it was able to create this kind of momentum. Once a certain amount of water reached a certain level, it would be able to suppress the flow of water in the tunnel, which would then be relieved.

Taking advantage of this moment of panic, he gave the order to attack the city with all his might.

At the top of the city, at this moment, they also knew that the city had been flooded. No one could have imagined that Shang Qiuyuan would bring in so much fat water. They didn't know where the water came from, but many people began to mutter that it was because their Prince Consort had committed so many grievances that it had attracted the Yellow Springs, causing so much water.

In this way, the morale of the army within the City of Fountain was dispirited, and the majority of the people had lost their will to fight. Even Zeng De couldn't figure out where this water came from. His heart was filled with fear and he was at a loss.

It was at this moment that the entire army of the Southern Champion came pressing down. Many people had already climbed onto the city walls.

"Reporting to the marshal, the guard of the west gate said he is willing to open the city gate and surrender it to the marshal."

Shang Qiuyuan hurriedly urged his horse to come to the west gate. Today, they were attacking the south gate, west gate, and east gate.

The battle at the west gate was still in a half-dead state. The bluff from the siege and the shouts from the city guards sounded very lively, but they did not have much contact with each other.

Pipeline stood on top of the city gate. When he saw that Shang Qiuyuan had arrived, he hastily shot a headless arrow at the city wall. Someone picked it up and presented it to Shang Qiuyuan.

Shang Qiuyuan opened it, took a look, then nodded and replied with a letter which was projected on top of the city wall.

Pipeline took the letter and read it once through and then ordered his men to open the gate. His men were already on the verge of tears, but seeing how bountiful the water was, they all became terrified. In their hearts, especially in the army, Shang Qiuyuan was synonymous with invincibility.

Hearing the orders from the pipe, each of them courageously took the lead and opened the city gates, welcoming Shang Qiuyuan into the city.

This was also the reason why the siege was carried out so smoothly by Shang Qiuyuan. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would not have been able to open the city gates and surrender.

Shang Qiuyuan waved his hand and ordered his men to enter the city. Once the city gates opened, there would be no more danger to defend, and the soldiers would kill their way into the city. The water in the city began to pour out due to the opening of the city gates, causing the water level in the city to begin to drop.

"The city gates have been breached, the city gates have been breached, and the prince consort has entered the city." "Those who surrender will not be killed, those who resist stubbornly until the end will be killed without mercy!"

Shouts and yells echoed throughout the city. Large groups of people rushed to the top of the city walls, fighting along the walls. Some of them entered the city to occupy an important location.

Shang Qiu Yuan urged his horse to lead his men into the west gate. By this time, the pipeline had already descended the city wall and was waiting respectfully at the city gate. Seeing that Shang Qiuyuan had entered, he hurriedly kneeled in the cold water.

"This lowly general is guilty, this lowly general deserves to die. Please forgive me, marshal."

He felt apprehensive in his heart. Shang Qiuyuan had long ago sent someone to persuade him to surrender, but he had been hesitant until now. He had to wait until the waters were abundant and the city was unprotected before he had no choice but to surrender.

Shang Qiuyuan did not dismount. If Pipeline had surrendered before he was flooded with water, he would have dismounted and supported him. But at this moment, he only lightly let Pipeline get on the horse with him and went to attack the Imperial Palace. Thus, the Ximen Imperial Clan was handed over to its trusted generals to guard.

The pipeline awkwardly stood up from the water. At this moment, the water at the city gate was two feet deep. The water level was slowly decreasing. No more water was coming out from the passage. Because there was too much water and too much pressure, the fertile land was too high. The water was gradually flowing in all directions and some places were exposed to the ground.

However, at this moment, Shang Qiuyuan's great army had already invaded Fenrir City, so it would be easy for them to move out of the water.

When Zeng De received the report, he didn't know how Shang Qiuyuan had managed to break in. He had already panicked and hurried his horse to the palace. Right now, only the palace was safer. It should be said that the Imperial Palace was no longer safe. The most important thing was to escape through the North Gate as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he had his family already prepared. They had moved everything to the north gate, ready to escape at any time. He wanted to make a trip to the palace so that he could notify the emperor.

"The city has been breached. The marshal is invincible. He is invincible!" "Surrender!" The surrendered men put down their weapons and squatted down.

At this moment, not many of the officers in Feng Rong City had the heart to fight back. Most of them put down the weapons in their hands and squatted in the corner, waiting for the arrows to fall.

They were well aware that Shang Qiuyuan was impartial, caring for his soldiers and being magnanimous, so they were not worried. A few others were fleeing in panic towards the north gate.

Shang Qiuyuan had already given the order for his subordinates to follow the city walls and receive the other three city gates. He must surround all the Fengyuan citizens within the city so that not a single one would be left alive.

The west gate had already been closed again. At this moment, the south gate had also been taken down. Only the east gate and north gate were still in the hands of the fertile defending army. However, he wasn't worried at all. He had already ordered his subordinates to receive it as soon as possible. If they encountered any resistance, they would be killed without exception.

"At this point in time, no one will resist, flee, surrender, or surrender. He was afraid that no one would want to protect the city gate anymore. Receiving the city gate isn't a problem at all. The only thing that worries me is the old general. Hopefully, he will not be too stubborn. "

He let out a faint sigh, and once again, the horse galloped on. There were too many painful memories in this place. The homes at that time were now in ruins. The destroyed houses were all covered in mud.

The corpse fell to the ground, staining the water red. The water that hadn't completely retreated yet had a piercing blood-red.

Under the light of the setting sun, the blood-red color became even more intense, as if the entire city was covered by a blood-red river.

In the corner, there were many soldiers squatting, their weapons thrown on the ground in front of them. No one paid attention to them. The most important thing was to first take control of the capital and break into the imperial palace.

Shang Qiuyuan ordered that there was no need to make things difficult for these surrendered Fengyuan soldiers. He ordered them to gather at the open area in front of the Forbidden City. Someone was responsible for collecting the weapons on the ground and escorting the soldiers forward.

"Anyone who is willing to pick up a weapon and follow me to attack the palace can be punished."

Shang Qiuyuan shouted loudly, ordering his subordinates to pass down the order like this. At this moment, he still felt that he did not have enough soldiers. One more person was one more force. He believed that many of the officers were willing to serve him.

Sure enough, very soon, many people picked up their weapons again, gathered together, and followed behind them as they ran towards the Golden-purple City.

At this moment, the Fenrir City was in a state of chaos. Many court officials had heard that the Fenrir City was in ruins and were rushing to flee. They had arranged for their families to be transported away. Shang Qiuyuan had ordered that no one was to leave the city and that the city gates be guarded strictly.

With the fastest speed possible, he brought his men and sped towards the Magnificent Brocade Imperial Palace. At this moment, there were only a few people who were still running, and there were almost no people who could resist.
