    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp秋风渐至&nbsp&nbsp遍野的乱草青中带黄&nbsp&nbsp透出萧瑟之意

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp王剪依然坐在高岗上&nbsp&nbsp向大梁的方向看去&nbsp&nbsp用泥砂袋垒成的围堰依然紧紧的包围着大梁城&nbsp&nbsp而汹涌的黄河水依然不断的冲刷着大梁的城墙

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp而王剪轻轻的叹了一口气&nbsp&nbsp自从秦军四月放水&nbsp&nbsp淹灌了大梁城&nbsp&nbsp到现在己经过去了五个多冃&nbsp&nbsp从春季一直打到了秋天&nbsp&nbsp而大梁城却似铜墙铁壁一般&nbsp&nbsp本來被王剪寄于了厚望的大水&nbsp&nbsp在大梁城面前也似失去了作用&nbsp&nbsp大梁城始终坚强的屹立在大水之中&nbsp&nbsp仿佛坚不可催一般&nbsp&nbsp而且代军的船队到达大梁之后&nbsp&nbsp守军多次从城中出击&nbsp&nbsp向秦军动突击&nbsp&nbsp先后掘开围堰十数次&nbsp&nbsp虽然每一次都被秦军极时堵住&nbsp&nbsp但也让秦军疲于应付&nbsp&nbsp劳累不堪

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp如果从出兵进攻大梁算起&nbsp&nbsp数十万大军民役屯于坚城之下&nbsp&nbsp差不多己有八个月的时间&nbsp&nbsp耗费的钱粮物资不可计数&nbsp&nbsp而且战死、病死&nbsp&nbsp加上伤残的军卒多达九万余人&nbsp&nbsp王剪也迫不得以&nbsp&nbsp先后将十余万民役在阵前改编成士兵&nbsp&nbsp才保着秦军的总数不变&nbsp&nbsp但无论是士气还是士兵的素质&nbsp&nbsp都己是大大下降了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp而且大军久屯于外&nbsp&nbsp战事又进行得十分不顺&nbsp&nbsp在秦军之中己是怨声载道&nbsp&nbsp不少士兵的思家之也日益严重&nbsp&nbsp尽管秦军的法令严明&nbsp&nbsp但在近一二个月内&nbsp&nbsp先后己有数百名士兵逃跑&nbsp&nbsp虽然大多都被抓回來&nbsp&nbsp但还是有少许人逃脱&nbsp&nbsp而这时王剪也毫不手软&nbsp&nbsp将逃跑的士兵当众斩&nbsp&nbsp以警示全军&nbsp&nbsp不过王剪也十分清楚&nbsp&nbsp依靠严刑酷法&nbsp&nbsp只能弹压住一时&nbsp&nbsp如果战事拖得太久&nbsp&nbsp总有压不住的时候

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp虽然秦王政并未责怪过王剪&nbsp&nbsp每次下诏对王剪和秦军的诸将都是以鼓励为主&nbsp&nbsp但王剪从传诏的使者那里知道&nbsp&nbsp现在整个秦国都再议论&nbsp&nbsp大王要下诏加税&nbsp&nbsp以供应军前所用&nbsp&nbsp王剪虽是武将&nbsp&nbsp但也知道加税对一个国家意味着什么&nbsp&nbsp因此王剪每次想起使者说话时的神态&nbsp&nbsp都会觉得肩头的重担如山

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp但面对着大水中的大梁城&nbsp&nbsp王剪也无计可施&nbsp&nbsp因此这时也只能望城兴叹&nbsp&nbsp束手无策&nbsp&nbsp好在是颖川郡的叛乱己在秦军的雷厉风行之下&nbsp&nbsp被迅速的平定下來&nbsp&nbsp叛军被秦军杀得大败&nbsp&nbsp当阵斩杀了三万余人&nbsp&nbsp而攻入新郑之后&nbsp&nbsp秦军的主将韩腾又将俘虏的叛军士卒、参与叛乱的韩国世族及家属共计两万余人&nbsp&nbsp全部处死&nbsp&nbsp以警示韩人&nbsp&nbsp要不然王剪现在还要觉得头疼

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp就在这时&nbsp&nbsp只听轰隆一声&nbsp&nbsp就似天边暴响了一个巨雷&nbsp&nbsp王剪也猛然一惊&nbsp&nbsp从沉思中回过神來&nbsp&nbsp只见高大的大梁城墙塌陷出了一个三四丈宽的缺与&nbsp&nbsp而奔涌的河水也如巨蟒一样&nbsp&nbsp向大梁城内猛灌了进去

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“城塌了&nbsp&nbsp城塌了&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp”在围堰上驻守的秦军顿时兴奋的大叫&nbsp&nbsp有不少人甚致都跳了起來&nbsp&nbsp等了五个多月&nbsp&nbsp终于等到了这一天&nbsp&nbsp实在是太不容易了&nbsp&nbsp而王剪也不由得精神一振&nbsp&nbsp现在总算是看到了一线胜利的曙光了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp不过秦军的兴奋并沒有维持多久&nbsp&nbsp因为守军马上在缺口两端扔下大量的砂袋&nbsp&nbsp很快将缺口渐渐的堵了起來

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp――――――――分割线―――――――――分割线――――――――

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“禀报主公&nbsp&nbsp缺口己经被堵住了&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原点了点头&nbsp&nbsp看着鄂崇禹、赵江两人都是满身泥水&nbsp&nbsp也不由得有些过意不去&nbsp&nbsp道:“两位将军辛苦了&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp鄂崇禹忙道:“回禀主公&nbsp&nbsp这到沒什么&nbsp&nbsp只是我们被大水困住了五个多月&nbsp&nbsp虽然说城里的粮草不缺&nbsp&nbsp但全城几乎尽被淹沒&nbsp&nbsp现在城墙也塌陷了三处&nbsp&nbsp大梁城恐怕是守不住了&nbsp&nbsp因此现在士兵那里&nbsp&nbsp到是有些微辞&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原笑道:“哦&nbsp&nbsp有什么微辞&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp鄂崇禹迟疑了一下&nbsp&nbsp道:“他们说要么就杀出城去&nbsp&nbsp和秦军拼了&nbsp&nbsp也好过淹死在这城里&nbsp&nbsp或者趁着现在有船&nbsp&nbsp杀出秦军的包围去&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp赵江也点了点头&nbsp&nbsp道:“是啊&nbsp&nbsp由其是我们代军的士兵们&nbsp&nbsp都认为应该杀出去&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp大梁的城墙虽然坚固&nbsp&nbsp但毕竞是城墙&nbsp&nbsp不是堤坝&nbsp&nbsp尽管也是下宽上窄的梯形结构&nbsp&nbsp但坡度极堵&nbsp&nbsp几近垂直&nbsp&nbsp和堤坝的大倾斜缓坡结构完全不同&nbsp&nbsp因此在水淹三个月之后&nbsp&nbsp就开始出现渗水&nbsp&nbsp尽管一开始的时候&nbsp&nbsp高原还命工匠封堵渗水口&nbsp&nbsp但一个多月之后&nbsp&nbsp渗水的地方越來越多&nbsp&nbsp堵也堵不住了&nbsp&nbsp结果城里的积水也开始増加扩展&nbsp&nbsp现在大梁城里十有**的地方都被水淹沒&nbsp&nbsp深的地方可达四五尺&nbsp&nbsp而就在十余天前&nbsp&nbsp城墙也终于达到了极限&nbsp&nbsp开始塌陷&nbsp&nbsp到今天己有三处地方塌陷了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp另外经过了连月的激战&nbsp&nbsp加上患病&nbsp&nbsp城里的士兵居民也死亡极多&nbsp&nbsp达八万余人&nbsp&nbsp现在城里的居民巳不足十五万&nbsp&nbsp而魏军只剩下四万六千余人&nbsp&nbsp代军的士兵大约还有九千左右&nbsp&nbsp而一开始城中军队居民的高昂士气&nbsp&nbsp现在也都消磨得差不多了&nbsp&nbsp要不是有几次胜仗支撑的全军&nbsp&nbsp再加上城里的粮食到并不缺乏&nbsp&nbsp恐怕早就支持不住了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp不过现在守军的意志也差不多快到极限&nbsp&nbsp虽然沒有人愿意向秦军投降&nbsp&nbsp但都愿意和秦军决一死战&nbsp&nbsp那怕是在战场上痛痛快快的战死&nbsp&nbsp但也比困守在大梁城里要好&nbsp&nbsp而守军的士兵则认为&nbsp&nbsp自己只是來帮助魏国的&nbsp&nbsp而大梁城守到现在这一步&nbsp&nbsp也算是说得过去了&nbsp&nbsp沒必要再留在大梁城里坐以待毙&nbsp&nbsp陪大梁城葬送&nbsp&nbsp还是尽早乘船突围好

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp因此听完了鄂崇禹的话之后&nbsp&nbsp高原道:“你们放心吧&nbsp&nbsp就在城墙第一次塌陷的时候&nbsp&nbsp我就传令到桂陵&nbsp&nbsp让他们把所有的船只都派过來&nbsp&nbsp计算日子&nbsp&nbsp这一二天就能到了&nbsp&nbsp一共有三百多艘船&nbsp&nbsp只等这批船队一到&nbsp&nbsp我们就马上突围&nbsp&nbsp到时不仅是所有的代军&nbsp&nbsp就连城里的魏军也可以一起都带走&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp两人听了&nbsp&nbsp也不禁又惊又喜&nbsp&nbsp想不到高原己经早有了安排&nbsp&nbsp不光是带着代军突围&nbsp&nbsp连魏军也都准备带走&nbsp&nbsp因为经过了大半年的并肩作战&nbsp&nbsp现在代军和魏军之间己经结下了很深厚的同袍之谊&nbsp&nbsp如果把魏军都扔下&nbsp&nbsp自已突围而去&nbsp&nbsp也都觉得过意不去&nbsp&nbsp能把魏军都带走&nbsp&nbsp自然是再好也不过了

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp于是两人道:“原來主公早有安排&nbsp&nbsp是我们多虑了&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原道:“不过这件事还请两位将军保密&nbsp&nbsp在船队未到之前&nbsp&nbsp不可泄露&nbsp&nbsp否则城中就会军心大乱&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp两人也知道&nbsp&nbsp守在城里时还沒什么&nbsp&nbsp一说要撤退了&nbsp&nbsp保证所有人都跑得比兔子都快&nbsp&nbsp因此立刻道:“请主公放心&nbsp&nbsp我们决不会乱说&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp话声未落&nbsp&nbsp只见凌风进來&nbsp&nbsp道:“主公&nbsp&nbsp有飞鸟传书來了&nbsp&nbsp”说着,将一个腊封的纸卷递给高原

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原接过纸卷&nbsp&nbsp捏开了腊封&nbsp&nbsp打开一看&nbsp&nbsp道:“艁队明天下午就可以到达&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp两人听了&nbsp&nbsp也不禁一阵惊喜&nbsp&nbsp沒想到船队说到就到了&nbsp&nbsp赵江立刻道:“主公&nbsp&nbsp我们现在怎么办&nbsp&nbsp要不要通知士兵们准备&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原摇了摇头&nbsp&nbsp道:“不&nbsp&nbsp现在还不是时候&nbsp&nbsp而且眀天船队就要到达&nbsp&nbsp秦军一定会在中途拦截&nbsp&nbsp这一次船队的船只多是运需船只&nbsp&nbsp战船不多&nbsp&nbsp因此我们还要接应一下&nbsp&nbsp所以你们把城里的魏军士兵都招集起來&nbsp&nbsp我來亲自向他们传令&nbsp&nbsp明天一早&nbsp&nbsp向秦军动一次全面的突击&nbsp&nbsp牵制秦军的兵力&nbsp&nbsp让船队顺利到达&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp鄂崇禹和赵江听了&nbsp&nbsp立刻答应了一声&nbsp&nbsp转身离开

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp不一会儿&nbsp&nbsp两人就将城里的魏军士兵都招集起來

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原站在一个高台上&nbsp&nbsp道:“各位弟兄们&nbsp&nbsp我们坚守大梁&nbsp&nbsp己经有八个月的时间&nbsp&nbsp就是大梁被大水淹沒之后&nbsp&nbsp也有五个多月了&nbsp&nbsp虽然在这五个多月里&nbsp&nbsp我们多次从城里出击&nbsp&nbsp打了一些胜仗&nbsp&nbsp也挖开了秦军的围堰&nbsp&nbsp但始终都沒能够彻底打破秦军的包围&nbsp&nbsp而现在城里大部份地方都被水淹沒&nbsp&nbsp城墙也塌陷了三处&nbsp&nbsp我估计大梁城恐怕坚持不了多长的时间了&nbsp&nbsp本來我是想坚守大梁&nbsp&nbsp耗到秦军无以为继&nbsp&nbsp不得不撤军&nbsp&nbsp但现在看來&nbsp&nbsp我们耗不过秦军&nbsp&nbsp是我高原无能&nbsp&nbsp只能做到这一步&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp听高原说完&nbsp&nbsp魏军的士兵们也都纷纷叫了起來&nbsp&nbsp“武安君&nbsp&nbsp你己经尽力了&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“是啊&nbsp&nbsp武安君&nbsp&nbsp当初你能赶來救援魏国&nbsp&nbsp就己经很不错了&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“如果沒有武安君&nbsp&nbsp大梁城还坚持不到今天呢&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp魏军的士兵们大多也都明白&nbsp&nbsp高原和魏国并沒有什么关系&nbsp&nbsp能够赶來救援魏国&nbsp&nbsp己经很不错了&nbsp&nbsp而且经过了大半年的苦战&nbsp&nbsp代军始终都是城中的主要支柱&nbsp&nbsp高原也在魏兵中建立了十分崇高的威望&nbsp&nbsp因此到这个时候&nbsp&nbsp沒有人责怪高原

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原又道:“那么各位打算怎么办&nbsp&nbsp如果各位想投降秦军&nbsp&nbsp我绝不阻……”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp他的话还沒说完&nbsp&nbsp就立刻又被士兵们打断:“不投降&nbsp&nbsp不投降&nbsp&nbsp我们决不投降秦军&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“是啊&nbsp&nbsp就算是宁可战死&nbsp&nbsp我们也不投降秦军&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“对&nbsp&nbsp就和秦军决一死战&nbsp&nbsp和秦军拚了&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp“和秦军拚了&nbsp&nbsp”

    &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp高原见士兵们的绪被自已煽动起來&nbsp&nbsp立刻道:“好&nbsp&nbsp既然你们都和秦军决一死战&nbsp&nbsp那么今晚就好好休息&nbsp&nbsp明天出城&nbsp&nbsp和秦军大战一场&nbsp&nbsp”
