    When all the generals heard that Yang Zhao had made up his mind, they all clasped their fists and said, "I promise."

    Yang Zhao turned to Huang Mingxiang and said, "Liu Lang, since you think we should fight in Yuxi, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

    Huang Mingxiang did not speak in a hurry, but picked up a pen and, in full view of everyone, drew a line on the map starting from Gengyukou in the east, passing through Heiyukou and Xiluoyukou in the middle, and ending at Niyukou in the west.  Wire.  In the geographical atlases of later generations, this slope line, which is parallel to the contour lines of 550 meters, 600 meters, and 700 meters above sea level, divides Zhouzhi County into two parts: the southern platform and the northern graben.

    Then Huang Mingxiang pointed to Heiyukou and said: "The Turks came from the east. If they want to attack Yishou Palace, they must go through Heiyukou. I have been here before in the Qinling Mountains. The terrain here at Heiyukou is undulating, with the terrain rising from the south to the north.  Low. Look here, there is a lowland in front of Heiyukou, and the mouth of the valley is on a high hill. If the Turks want to pass this high hill, they must first pass through this lowland. When the Turks come from the east, we will set up an ambush here.  Suppress the Turkic cavalry in this lowland. The undulating terrain on both sides of Heiyukou can effectively block the outflanking of the Turkic cavalry and protect our flanks."

    "good!"

    At this time, even Yang Da, who had been silent, started to cheer.  Although this doll is frighteningly young, it has its own strategy in mind.

    "If we ambush the Turks at Heiyukou, we will definitely be able to block the Turkic cavalry."

    At this time, everyone was excited when they heard Huang Mingxiang's plan.  Although they had no hope of repaying this attack, if they could win in the end, they would immediately stand out as the heroes who saved Chang'an.

    Yang Zhao ordered Huang Jie to advance towards Heiyukou at high speed. He led the main force of the Sui army to ambush on the high hill in front to deal with the impact of the Turkic cavalry.  He also ordered Xue Shixiong to lead the remaining capable soldiers to ambush in the mountains on the south side. When the battle started, he would attack the Turks' waist directly and cut off the front and rear response of the Turks' cavalry.  Yang Da and Yang Zhao led more than 10,000 temporarily equipped farmers, waiting to beat up the drowned dogs.

    ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤

    The morale of the Sui army was high and the emperor was willing to use it, but the progress of the Turks was not smooth.

    The Turkic army soon arrived in Yusun County.  There was no capable person like Zhang Fangyi in Yusi County. When they heard that the Turks were attacking, the officials had already dispersed, leaving only an empty city with all the people dispersed.

    But I don¡¯t know if Duliu was a little afraid of the Sui city, or he didn¡¯t want to waste time in a small place like Xu Si, so he ignored the wide open doors of Xu Si County, and went directly south from the west of Xu Si County, towards  Go southeast.

    That idiot has wasted enough time in Xi County. He doesn't want to be blocked by the Sui people.

    Du Liu and his team went all the way south. Looking at the scenes along the way, Du Liu kept frowning.  He really didn't like Guanzhong because the man-made river network here was too dense, and the canals everywhere constantly hindered his march.  And the further south the army goes, the more undulating the remaining veins of the Qinling Mountains become.  All kinds of hilly areas are simply a nightmare for cavalry.

    At this time, it was raining heavily, the road was muddy, and the horses could not advance very far.  The heavy rains in the past few days caused the Wei River to surge, and it took a lot of effort to cross the river.

    When I saw the territory of Yuxi, it was getting late.  At this time, being hit by the heavy summer rain and being blown by the cool mountain breeze, Du Liu felt really uncomfortable.

    It took two days to walk on a journey that was originally only one day, but the army still hadn't reached its destination, and Du Liu couldn't sit still.  If this continues, even if the Turks break through the Three Palaces of Yishou, he will not have time to retreat.

    Du Liu gritted his teeth, still unwilling to give up the benefits he had gained.  He made up his mind that no matter what the battle situation would be tomorrow, he would have to return immediately the morning after tomorrow.

    The further east the Turks went, the muddy the mountain roads became, and the sky became dark, making it difficult to see the road clearly.  Originally, Duliu wanted to go forward a little further during the night, but his subordinates complained so much that they refused to go any further.  Du Liu had no choice but to order the Sui army to camp in place and rest for fear of alarming the Sui army in the Three Palaces of Yishou.

    Because the rain was heavier than everyone imagined, Duliu set up camp before reaching Heiyukou, so the original ambush plan at Heiyukou had to be cancelled.

    After visiting the horse, the Turks stopped in the east of Mazhao Township, near Mangshui (now Heihe, Shaanxi).

    Huang Mingxiang frowned, a little embarrassed.  The terrain in Mazhao Township is relatively open, located at the junction of mountains and plains. There is no terrain restriction for cavalry, so it is not a good place for an ambush.

    The Mangshui River above the valley mouth flows through the Qinling Mountains. It is an upstream section with a large specific drop and fast current. The height difference from the river source to the valley mouth is hundreds of feet (today's 2537.2 meters). It is an important branch of the Weishui River.??.

    At this time, Huang Mingxiang suddenly asked Tan Ma: "You said they are stationed in the east of Ma Zhao Township, which is not far from Mangshui?"

    After receiving Tan Ma¡¯s accurate answer, Huang Mingxiang couldn¡¯t help but laugh. The Turks were confused and didn¡¯t know how powerful the mudslides in the mountainous area were.  It has rained heavily in the past few days, and the river water has surged. The Mangshui coming down from the Qinling Mountains is even more powerful.  The Turks camped below the entrance of the valley, looking for death.

    Huang Mingxiang immediately said to Yang Zhao: "Your Majesty, General, today's Turks do not know the weather, do not understand the geographical advantages, and engage in reckless warfare. God will destroy them. As long as our army digs up the Heihe River embankment at the mouth of the valley and makes them  If it breaches to the south, the water will definitely flood Huqi."

    ¡°As he spoke, Huang Mingxiang drew a line on the Black River.

    Yang Zhao and Yang Da were shocked and immediately came forward to look at the map.  Seeing Huang Mingxiang's preset water route on the map heading straight to the Turkic camp, the two of them couldn't help but marvel.

    This is really a surprise weapon.

    Yang Zhao immediately summoned the generals to discuss the march.

    On normal days, after the Turks set up camp, there would also be soldiers on night watch.  Moreover, its camp was close to the water's edge, making it difficult for the Sui army to dig out the dam quietly.  But now it was raining heavily, the visibility was less than a few dozen meters, and the sound of rain was like drums, so the Sui army quietly moved upstream of the Heihe River.

    Arriving at the north bank of the river, the west was hazy, and the Sui army could not see the location of the Turkic camp.

    Huang Jie's troops then blocked the mouth of the river and built earth embankments on both sides of the river.

    Yang Zhao ordered his troops to move their camps into the mountains. He saw that after the river channel was blocked, the water level in the river rose rapidly. In a short time, it had risen above the earth embankment, and it was suspected of bursting.

    Huang Mingxiang also ordered Xue Shixiong to build another dike at the entrance of the valley to continue to store water, so as to reduce the pressure on the first dike.

    Then when the water in the second dam was almost full, the Sui army built the third dam again.  And this dike is already on the mountain.  The valley here is narrow, the banks are steep, and the deep meanders are the most obvious. Seeing that the water in the third dam is almost full, Huang Mingyuan stares at the Turkic camp that cannot be seen in the distance, showing a satisfied smile.

    By this time, the Sui army had been struggling for most of the night.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
