Three hundred and sixtieth chapters have their own magic
Ji Ling's order was quickly passed from top to bottom to the ears of the three thousand Jizhou Army. After receiving the order, they immediately led their troops and horses to slow down. This slowdown was not three thousand and five thousand, it was a whole
The speed of the thirty thousand Yellow Turban soldiers all slowed down.
Xu Huang has 30,000 Yellow Turbans here, accounting for one-tenth of the Yellow Turban Army. At the same time, it has slowed down, which is a bit obvious.
"What's going on there?"
Guan Hai looked at the disconnected piece and couldn't help but ask questions.
"I don't know. I'll send someone to inquire. Someone will come and take a look."
Guan Cheng directly called a personal guard and asked him to take people to check.
"promise."
The guard couldn't help but say something, got on his horse and ran towards Xu Huang's direction.
Both sides were chasing each other, Cao Hong's troops were scattered but not chaotic, while the Yellow Turbans, although there were many people, were like salt sprinkled on the ground, piece by piece, without any order.
Jishui is only about ten miles away from Lu County, and the distance of ten miles can be reached in an hour.
When Cao Hong looked at the Jishui River, which was as shallow as his knees, he did not hesitate and rushed over on horseback. The Cao soldiers under his command did the same and crossed the river without hesitation.
The Jishui River is not wide, so Cao Hong's entire army flowed across it in a short time. After the Yellow Turbans arrived, they did not hesitate, rolled up their trouser legs and stepped into the Jishui River.
"Instruct Cao Hong to set up defenses on the highlands five miles along the coast and prepare beacons. Once Cao Hong has made the arrangements, he will light the beacons and order Li Dian to open the first dam and flood the Yellow Turban Army."
"promise."
Xun Yu looked at the Yellow Turban crossing the river from the high ground and smiled again.
"The military advisor has ordered General Cao Hong and General Le Jin to deploy defenses on the high ground five miles along the coast to defend against the Yellow Turban Army."
The messengers came on horseback and charged directly towards Cao Hong's army.
"knew."
After receiving Xun Yu's general order, Cao Hong led his troops and ran for nearly half an hour, and finally arrived at the predetermined location. Without taking a rest, Cao Hong immediately ordered his troops to start setting up defenses.
The Yellow Turbans who were rushing in the front row saw Cao Hong stop, and they were overjoyed and launched a fierce attack.
"Archer."
In the assault just now, Cao Cao's army's long-range power was not used. Now they started to defend and counterattack, and the archers began to output wildly.
Bows and arrows rained down from the sky, turning the 150 meters in front of them into a place of death. One or two thousand Yellow Turbans were nailed to the ground on the spot, but the Yellow Turbans behind did not stop and continued to attack Cao Hong like a tide.
attack.
"Light the beacon fire, open the dam and release the water."
Feeling that the time was almost up, Xun Yu ordered the beacon fire to be lit and ordered Li Dian to dig the dam.
"Open the dam and release the water."
Li Dian in the distance immediately received Xun Yu's signal, opened his mouth and ordered a thousand soldiers to dig out the dam that blocked the water.
"Boom."
The already suffocated Jishui River was like a galloping horse, rushing downstream with unrivaled power from heaven and earth.
The battle has already begun. Guan Hai, Guan Cheng, Xu and their main force have just arrived at the bank of Jishui River. At this time, there are already tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans crossing the river, and the main force of more than 200,000 Yellow Turbans is still on the south bank of the river.
"Brother, something is wrong with Jishui River."
Riding his horse to the Jishui River, Guan Cheng looked at the Jishui River in front of him and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"What's wrong?"
"Although the Ji River is usually not deep, it is at least about three feet. It has been raining heavily for two consecutive days. Why does the river not rise but fall instead of rising? It is only more than one foot?"
After listening to Guan Cheng's words, Guan Hai's heart couldn't help but thump.
Not only was Guan Hai's heart pounding, but also Guan Cheng's guard Wei Zhi. Just now he suddenly remembered the letter Xu Huang had given him two days ago.
"Does the enemy want to attack with water?"
Thinking of this, Wei Zhi couldn't help blurting out Xu Huang's guess.
"Water attack strategy? Who said the water attack strategy? Tell me quickly."
As soon as Wei Zhi said the words, Guan Hai jumped to his side and grabbed his collar.
"Before it rained, a guy who called himself Xu Huang came to see the commander with a letter of recommendation from Chen Ding in Licheng and said he had something important to report.
But it was already midnight at that time, and I didn't let him in. As a result, he left a letter, which said to beware of the enemy building dams to block rivers and using water to attack them. I thought it was just a joke, so I didn't take it seriously.
"
Wei Zhi looked at Guan Hai, whose eyes were red, and tremblingly told the story of that day.
"It's broken. Order the whole army to retreat immediately. The Jishui River will not rise but fall instead. As Xu Huang said, someone will build a dam upstream to block the river and flood us."
Now Guan Hai's heart was full of fear, and he wanted to run wildly without caring about the other horses, but everything seemed to be too late.
"Boom."
The majestic river water rushed in with lightning speed, directly submerging the Yellow Turbans on both sides of the Jishui River. Countless Yellow Turbans rolled and collapsed in the river, and then died. Among them were the three giants of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans.
Hai, Guan Cheng and Xu He were all missing.
Xun Yu stood on a high place, looking down at Jishui at his feet. Seeing the yellow scarf trembling under the power of heaven and earth, he couldn't help but smile.
"Instruct Cao Hong to launch a counterattack. First collect the Yellow Turbans on the north bank, and then cross the river by boat to collect the Yellow Turbans on the south bank after the water flow calms down."
"promise."
Following Xun Yu's order, Cao Hong led Cao's army to directly launch a counterattack. Twenty thousand horses descended from the mountain like tigers and charged into the Yellow Turban Army.
"Third General, it's our turn next."
Hearing the roar of the river, Cheng Yu did not hesitate and directly ordered Zhang Fei to lead his troops to attack.
"Just take a look at it, military advisor."
"Third general, take the boat and tie it to the trees, just in case."
"clear."
When Zhang Fei heard Cheng Yu's order, he rushed out of the mountain without hesitation, gathered his troops and horses, took the built boats, and headed towards the battlefield.
"Inform the military advisor that there is a group of soldiers and horses approaching the south bank of the river quickly from the southwest of the river bank."
All battles are based on intelligence. Zhang Fei's 20,000 troops brought up smoke and dust in the sky, and were quickly discovered by the scouts arranged by Xun Yu, who reported to him in time.
"What? Are there soldiers coming from the southwest?"
After hearing the scout's words, the cavalry captain quickly looked at Xun Yu. He was now quite puzzled as to why there was an ambush here.
"No, we fell into Cheng Zhongde's trick.
The troops and horses at Pingyin Crossing were just a guise, with only 20,000 troops at most. Their purpose was to confuse us, making me think that his troops were at Pingyin Crossing, while he took the opportunity to lead his troops north and hide his troops in the southwest of Jishui.
Wait for us to use the water attack strategy to defeat the Yellow Turban, and then jump out to take the chestnuts from the fire."
A flash of light flashed in Xun Yu's eyes, but the corners of his mouth turned up again.
"Military advisor, what should we do?"
Hearing Xun Yu's explanation, the captain of the cavalry army suddenly became anxious. He had worked hard to dig dams and lure the enemy, which was hard work and death, but now he had taken advantage of others.
"Don't worry, I have a backup plan for them. What we can't get, you Cheng Zhongde can't even think of getting."
Xun Yu was neither arrogant nor impetuous, but his eyes flashed with a fierce light, which was very scary.
