Seeing how nervous Guo Jia was, Gao Lin didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly asked someone to pass on the order and do what Guo Jia said.
However, before the group of people left the gate of the prefect's mansion, they saw a bolt of lightning in the night sky striking directly from the sky. The bolt of lightning was as long as a coiled dragon, hanging straight from the ground, followed by a "boom", the sound was extremely loud, as if it was
The angry roar of the Emperor of Heaven was deafening.
The rain in the night sky seemed like a gap in the Milky Way in the sky. The heavy rain like waterfalls kept falling, and there was more and more water on the ground. In less than a quarter of an hour, the water was almost there.
It's over the knees.
"Boom!"
There was another loud thunder, and the sky and the earth were filled with darkness. You could not see your fingers, and the rain fell on people like a waterfall. At this time, Guo Jia and Gao Lin were already wet, although they could not see the road ahead clearly.
, but one foot deep and one foot shallow are dripping with water that is about to overflow the knees.
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the gate of Shouchun City suddenly heard the roar of the torrent. No one could see what was going on outside. The rain extinguished all the lit torches in the city, making the entire city a flood.
There was darkness. The soldiers opened their eyes wide and looked outside, but when they saw it, they were all shocked. What they saw was a stream of langurs, one taller than the other, charging towards them fiercely.
He rushed over here.
Before the soldiers guarding the city had time to shout, the wolf's head, which was about three feet above the city wall, directly knocked down the defenders on the wall. Some fell directly under the city wall and were shattered to pieces, while some were hit by the wolf's head.
When he entered the Bell and Drum Tower, he hugged the pillars of the Bell and Drum Tower tightly in desperation, but faced with the impact of such a large flow of water, he was eventually rolled off the city wall.
As soon as the torrent overflowed the city wall, the torrent of water quickly poured into Shouchun City. Some of the houses of the common people in the city close to the city wall could not withstand such a high lang, and were slapped by a lang head.
The whole house was destroyed
.In addition, floods poured into Shouchun City from all sides. The stagnant water in Shouchun City could not flow out. Now floods are pouring in, and the water level of the stagnant water has risen rapidly, and those in the torrent have
The big lang swept forward rapidly along the streets.
Most of the Dragon Scale Army are men from the northwest. There are very few who know how to swim, and even fewer can survive such a huge flood. Although the residents in the city are all from the south, most of them can swim, but in such a
In the torrent, human power is quite weak.
The flood swept through the entire city from all directions, heading towards the prefect's mansion in the middle of Shouchun City from all streets and alleys.
Guo Jia pulled Gao Lin and was walking out when suddenly the sound of a torrent sounded in his ears. Guo Jia secretly screamed, and hurriedly pulled Gao Lin to hide in the prefect's mansion. However, his steps were still a little slow.
All the torrents rushed over and collided together at the gate of the prefect's mansion, setting off a huge pool of water that swept Guo Jia, Gao Lin and others into the water.
Guo Jia and Gao Lin were impacted by the currents from all directions. The different forces from the four directions collided together, making the two of them seem to be rolling continuously in the sea water. They moved with the current and could not tell the difference between east, west, north and south at all, and even more so under their feet.
Bottomless.
No one in Shouchun City ran away, as if they were drowned by the flood that didn't know where it came from, but the heavy rain continued to fall. In the city, together with Gao Lin, Guo Jia, Chen Deng, Ma Dai, and Gan Xiaoning
, Guo Huai, Zhang Xiong, Zang Ai and others, as well as Han Dang and other prisoners of Wu, as well as the original 40,000 households in Shouchun City, a total of more than 100,000 people were swallowed up by the flood.
Among the hundreds of thousands of people, there were countless direct deaths caused by sudden floods. The corpses of humans and animals kept rising out of the water, and they were literally everywhere.
For a moment, the entire Shouchun City was in uproar. Those who were lucky enough to survive and had their heads exposed above the water were sobbing and looking for their relatives. All the noisy voices were gathered together, sounding very pitiful.
At this time, on the water surface, in this late night of heavy rain, light boats were floating back and forth on the water surface. Reflecting the light of lightning that struck in the sky from time to time, it was only then that we could see clearly that all the people standing on those boats were
They are Wu soldiers who are waiting in full formation.
In the center position, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the boat wearing raincoats. After scanning the situation after the ferocious flood, Sun Ce frowned and said to Zhou Yu calmly: "Gong Jin, if we do this, we can survive."
There are very few people coming down, it’s really a disaster..."
Zhou Yu saw Sun Ce's compassion and said to Sun Ce: "If you are not a poisonous person, you are not a husband. If you can exchange the lives of the people in Shouchun City for the happiness of thousands of people in the entire Wu Kingdom, I think it is worth it."
"
After hearing this, Sun Ce nodded and fully agreed with Zhou Yu's words.
The ships of Wu State are searching for survivors on the water surface. Regardless of whether they are friend or foe, they must first save them on the ship and take them to a higher hillside. At this moment, every one can be saved.
Shouchun City is low-lying, with high sides and low middle. It is adjacent to the Huai River in the north and the Fei River flows through it. Zhou Yu heard from Sun Ce that the Chinese army had occupied Shouchun. In addition, the weather was abnormal and the air was muggy in those days, which made everyone upset.
, so Zhou Yu, based on many years of experience living in Jiangnan, recommended that there will be a heavy rain in the near future.
So Zhou Yu gave Sun Ce a plan. He first adopted a strategy of siege, and then took turns deploying troops to build temporary dams around Shouchun City and cut off the Fei River. As a result, the water gathered more and more, and the water gathered higher and higher. After the thunderstorm came,
, the rainwater quickly gathered together, and the temporary dyke upstream could not withstand such great pressure. After Wu Jun deliberately dug, the floodwater was like a tiger coming out of the gate, rushing towards Shouchun City in a majestic manner.
At the same time, other small rivers that had accumulated on the hillside were also dug out and flowed down the mountain, causing flash floods, which then mercilessly swallowed up Shouchun City.
Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the boat and saw the corpses of the people floating on the water. There were countless men, women, old and young, old and weak, women and children. He said secretly in his heart: "My strategy has caused the loss of thousands of people."
If I lose my life, I’m afraid I’m going to lose my life..."
At ten o'clock in the morning, the floods gradually receded, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and a bright golden sun slowly came to life, shining its sunlight on Shouchun City, which was already a mess and full of mud.
At this time, the soldiers of Wu State were already standing on the walls of Shouchun City and surrounded the entire Shouchun City. However, half of the water in Shouchun City could not flow out, so that there were piles of mud and sand in the city, and the water was
As a result, the silt was mixed into a turbid form. Therefore, the Wu army only surrounded the city, but was unable to fully enter the city to search for fish that had slipped through the net.
Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Lu Fan were sitting on the Bell and Drum Towers, looking at the flooded Shouchun City. They each had their own thoughts in their hearts. But the only thing they had in common was that they all felt sorry for the dead Wu people.
Not long after, the scout came over and reported directly: "Your Majesty, Grand Governor, the search team has searched twice in a row. Among all the victims, Gao Lin was not found."
Sun Ce said: "It seems that he is not dead, so keep looking. If you want to see him alive, you want to see his body. If he is dead, you want to see his body."
"promise!"
As soon as the scout here went out, another scout came again and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the Hu Lie General Huang Zhong of the Chinese Army has led a force of 20,000 people to come all the way from Anfeng to help. The distance from here is already less than fifty miles."
Sun Ce put down his hand and signaled the scouts to explore again, and he said to Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, Huang Zhong is a veteran general in the Huaxia army. He is brave and resourceful. Now he comes with an army of 20,000. It seems that he wants to compete with us.
I wonder if Gong Jin has any strategies to defeat the enemy?"
After hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled and said: "The reinforcements came just in time. We just captured Shouchun City without any blood. Now that Huang Zhong is here, we will use our tricks to trick Huang Zhong and others, and then concentrate all our efforts to eliminate them."
Huang Zhong and others.”
After hearing this, Sun Ce said: "You are the governor and the military advisor. You can do whatever you say. But now there is wet mud outside and the road is not safe. It is difficult for Huang Zhong's army to move. How can we deceive him?"
"Then it depends on your Majesty's ability." Zhou Yu said with a sinister smile.
Sun Ce saw a cunning look in Zhou Yu's eyes and smiled: "I understand what you mean."
After he finished speaking, Sun Ce rode a war horse and summoned five hundred people to accompany him. They all rode on war horses, dripping mud, and headed towards the direction of Huang Zhong's arrival. Sun Ce entrusted all the power to Zhou Yu.
Let Zhou Yu take full responsibility.
In Shouchun City, Gao Lin and Guo Jia were hiding in a collapsed house. The stagnant water in the city could not escape. Even if Gao Lin was standing there, the stagnant water could still hide his waist, making it difficult to move his legs.
.
Guo Jia was dejected. This defeat was a shadow in his heart. He was still Gao Lin's mentor, but he didn't even notice this little trick. He was really ashamed.
"Mistake, misstep... I really didn't expect that the enemy army would have such a skill..."
Gao Lin was even more embarrassed and angry, but after hearing Guo Jia's words, he said comfortingly: "Teacher, I don't blame you. Everyone has their negligence sometimes, and no one is perfect... Now, the Dragon Scale Army has been completely separated.
, the casualties are unknown, and the Wu army has surrounded the entire city. If we don't plan to escape as soon as possible, how will we escape? The most important thing now is to escape as soon as possible, and then fight with General Huang's reinforcements to regain everything that belongs to me...
…”
Guo Jiadao: "In this situation, it is very difficult to escape."
"Cats also take a nap, and people are no exception. We can take advantage of the enemy's nap before taking action." As Gao Lin spoke, he scanned the surrounding environment to see if there were any opportunities to take advantage of.
