Chapter 71: The Three Armies Flooded
When it was confirmed that Yuan Shao and Cao cào both came to the battlefield, Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged, but he felt relieved.
Wait for you, but I can wait for you to wear it
When he decided to face Yuan Shao and Cao, Guo Jia's purpose was to attack these two most eye-catching heroes today.
What is the blow that is heavier than the blow that ruined the two of them with their own hands?
Looking up at the stone wall that stretched for miles not far away, Cao cào was shocked and puzzled.
What exactly does this wall work?
Is it an environment for Guo Jia to place an order to face the enemy in a high position?
No
Absolutely impossible
Cao cào couldn't guess it thoroughly, but he expected that Guo Jia's killer move was close to him and brought all Yuan Shao's army to a low place. What was about to come was a thunder strike.
And this killer move is definitely not predictable by common sense.
When Yuan Shao was about to take his army west to Chang'an, Cao cào quietly rode his horse and retreated aside, whispered to the Xiahou brothers: "Enter me away immediately."
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan did not understand Cao cào's heavy expression at this time as if he was in desperate situation.
Go at this time?
What should Yuan Shao do after he discovers it?
"But Yuan Shao..."
Xiahou Yuan wanted to remind Cao that their situation is now under someone else's roof, and it depends on Yuan Shao's face.
Although the Xiahou brothers had three thousand soldiers and horses, they were all miscellaneous soldiers and could not defeat the Taiping Army. If they fought with Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, they would also use eggs to hit stones.
If Yuan Shao finds out and catches up and blocks them, they just want to break through and have no confidence at all.
Cao cào directly interrupted Xiahou Yuan's words.
"If you don't leave, your life will be gone."
Cao cào gritted his teeth and said word by word. His expression was solemn, and he was definitely not a joke.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan looked at Cao cào in amazement, and they looked over Cao cào's face and happened to see Guo Jia's movement of waving his sword.
Behind Guo Jia, standing on the high ground, were Jia Xu and Fa Zheng, and the 100,000 enemy troops at the low place, no one would know that beside them, behind the wall, there was a vast ocean of scenery.
Emperor Qin could build the Great Wall and refused to be a foreign tribe. Even though Guo Jia was not as talented as Ying Zheng, he was at least more than enough to dig a trench and channel to build a dam of several miles.
The Wei River is clear and the sky flows endlessly.
Today's Wei River, in terms of water level and water volume, is hard to match the Wei River, which has been artificially damaged by soil erosion in later generations. Even the Yellow River, which is known as the cradle, is the Wei River.
Although it was not the rainy season at this time, Guo Jia chose to fight in the Huayin River Basin in the Weishui River, relying on the advantage of the geographical advantage.
This location was something that Yuan Shao and Cao would never have imagined. Here, it is not only a region where the Wei River runs through, but also a place where the Luo River flows from north to south and the Wei River converges. The amount of water is by no means a factor that restricts Guo Jia's water attack plan.
Guo Jia waved his sword and fell, and then the sword tip pointed to it, which was below where Yuan Shao's army was.
On the flat ground not far behind Guo Jia, dozens of catapults were parked side by side. After military orders, the catapults threw huge rocks with powerful impact at the same time. The target was the high-strength barrier that Guo Jia had built for two months.
There was a constant rumbling sound.
A thousand-mile dike is destroyed by ant. If someone asks what is the most powerful in the world, Guo Jia will definitely answer: Water.
Water drops pass through the stones, and the years pass by, only the water flow can pass through everything and change the power of heaven and earth. Even if human beings perish, it cannot stop the water flow from quietly changing the world.
A tiny crack is enough to allow the water to take advantage of the opportunity to break through the barriers and pour down.
The high wall facing Yuan Jun collapsed, and the subsequent scene made Yuan Jun dumbfounded.
This moment seems to be silent.
All the noise stopped in my ears.
The only thing that remains is the scene that comes into view, which impacts everyone's nerves and shocks everyone's heart.
It was like a mountain torrent, and the surging water was like a prehistoric beast, about to sweep the earth and ravage the creatures.
The pouring water flowed in a wild rage. Chunyu Qiong, who was in front of Yuan Jun, was the first to be hit. Although he was riding on a horse, after the water was rolled up, he was the first to be washed back and submerged in the overwhelming torrent.
"Master, retreat quickly."
Yuan Shao was stunned, as if a torrent of floods swept over. At least 30,000 vanguard troops had been submerged, and the water was still rising and gushing in. He had no ability to think at all.
It is easy to flood a hundred thousand troops within a radius of miles.
Yuan Shao did not expect that there was a murderous intent behind this high wall that no one could have imagined.
He was fleeing, and his army was also fleeing. Human power could never reverse the destiny of heaven. The ancients believed that water and fire were all given by gods, and if they were not used well, they would suffer from it. If they were used properly, they would benefit endlessly.
Guo Jia used it just right, that is, to follow the will of heaven.
Yuan Shao no longer cared about Cao cào, and Cao fled eastward before Guo Jia ordered the wall to be smashed open.
Guo Jia, who stood proudly on the high ground, saw a scene of Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops being washed away by the water and screaming in pain. His ears were accompanied by screams and the sound of waves flowing from the water.
"If you don't remember to kill the armor, you must put Yuan Shao and Cao cào to death."
Gan Ning and Zhang Liao were already full of passion. They had thought about the scene where Guo Jia's plan would be realized, but they did not expect that they would have such a miraculous effect when they were really immersive.
Yuan's army had 100,000 people, but they were no longer able to resist.
The water level was slowing down, and the low point was already muddy, and Yuan Jun had almost no one to stand up.
The three armies flood
The purpose is not to drown them, and such a situation will definitely not drown people.
What Guo Jia wanted was to defeat the Yuan army and minimize the combat power of the 100,000 Yuan army.
The formation is washed away by the water flow, and the soldiers are dizzy by the water flow, and even those who are afraid of water will be confused.
An army that is unstable, an army that is disorganized, an army that cannot cooperate with comrades, has no combat power at all.
Gan Ning led the Yinling Flying Cavalry to run east regardless of the battlefield in front of him. He wanted to cut off the other party's retreat before Yuan Shao retreated. Wuguan had been re-occupied by Pang Tong and Yan Yan after Ju Yi and Yuan Shao met. It can be said that Ju Yi was conquered by Zhang He at Hangu Pass, which had no strategic value.
Zhang Liao led his archers and crossbowmen to advance step by step, killing Yuan Jun who had no ability to resist at a distance.
This is a unilateral massacre. So what about Yuan’s army with 100,000 people? A hundred thousand lambs are slaughtered without resistance. Not to mention that Guo Jia has more than 50,000 troops, even if he only has 10,000 people, it is only a matter of time before he kills all 10,000 enemy troops.
In a short period of time, Yuan's army, who could not regroup, was defeated and fleeing, and Guo Jia personally led the infantry of the 10,000 Jinfan Army to go down. The water situation stopped quickly after an instant burst. The battlefield below was very open, but it was also muddy. Guo Jia opened his eyes wide and searched for Yuan Shao and Cao cào.
Killing 100,000 people is worse than killing two heroes.
At the same time, the three generals Xu Chudian and Wei Gaoshun, who were stationed in Huashan south of Huayin, had already obtained the battle situation in the north. In fact, the flood was moving from north to south, and they could see some momentum in Huashan.
The three generals were dispatched to attack Yuan's army from north to south.
Yuan Shao was in the central army and was the second unit to be attacked by the flood. He hugged several strategists around him and was washed away by the water, flowing into the panic-wracking crowd. After the water slowed down, Yuan Shao, who was soaked all over stood up and ran south.
This is an act that does not go through the brain and gives actions to the body instinct.
The water comes from the north and people run to the south.
This is what Yuan Jun’s overall actions were like.
Yuan Shao didn't care about his current embarrassing image and followed the soldiers to escape with them. After falling down, he got up again. After several repetitions, more and more acquaintances gathered around him. Shen Pei, Ju Su, Guo Tu, and Xu You all came to him and ran away with him.
"Where is Yan Liang? Where is Wen Chou? Where is Ju Yi? Where is Chunyu Qiong?"
Yuan Shao ran and roared.
At this time, he even forgot that Wen Chou had his soul returned to the west.
After all, the strategists next to them were usually not good at using their brains but not physically. They were not as good as Yuan Shao's lord, who had led troops to fight in his early years. They were out of breath and their clothes were heavier than usual. They did not answer Yuan Shao's words at all.
Yan Liang, Chunyu Qiong, and Ju Yi were all hit by the flood in front of them. Their situation should be even more miserable than Yuan Shao's current, because Zhang Liao was leading archers and crossbowmen to easily harvest their lives.
The unbearable army ran south, but suddenly stopped abruptly and crowded together.
Wearing heavy armor and holding spears, the tiger guards lined up in a row. Five thousand people were like a copper wall blocking them. The tiger guards were slowly advancing, and each step was very slow, and they were like the king of hell, and the person who touched them would die.
Xu Chu led his new army that he had formed less than a year ago to surround him from the east, and was determined to keep all Yuan Shao's 100,000 troops.
Xu Chu, who was like a wolf and a tiger, rushed straight to the enemy with a long-handled sword, and waved his weapons. He killed Yuan's army, who was running away from his front, ran back and forth, unable to advance and retreat. Yuan Shao's army is now dying.
"Lord, it's not good, it's Xu Chu and Dian Wei."
Guo Tu staggered to Yuan Shao, looking desperate.
Yuan Shao was also in despair.
He shouted sadly.
"Is it because I am dead?"
Just as he finished speaking, he ran towards him on a fast horse and shouted loudly.
"Princess Princess"
Yuan Shao looked up and saw Zhang He looking around anxiously in the army. He was obviously looking for Yuan Shao.
"Junyi is Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes
A hint of Xiyi appeared in Yuan Shao's eyes.
He once placed his hope on Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and also hoped that Ju Yi would be like when he was in danger of rescuing his master when he was struggling by Gongsun Zan. The sudden appearance of Zhang He made Yuan Shao unexpected and extremely surprised.
Yuan Shao was in a misfortune and asked Zhang He to command 20,000 rear troops. Fortunately, Zhang He always paid attention to the battlefield ahead. When the flood came, he ordered the army to retreat to the east and avoid the impact of the flood as quickly as possible.
This principle is obvious. Just like a car that can only walk in a straight line, the wisest way is not to turn around and run back, but to move it gently to the left or right a few steps.
