The first thousand three hundred and sixty-one chapters burst the embankment and release the water
Chapter 1361: Break the embankment and release the water
Cao Ang was a little surprised.
Surprisingly, Guan Yu's fleet had no intention of contacting their ships when facing them.
Not only that, but as if he was afraid of them, when he saw them landing, he retreated smoothly, creating an ideal landing place for them.
But even so, Cao Ang still didn't think of anything else.
The water was so terrifying, and there was no sign of Guan Yu. Maybe Guan Yu was also affected by the flood... As a result, I couldn't find an answer after thinking about it. It was better to focus on the present and save Cao Ren first.
From a distance... Cao Ang even heard the cheers of the soldiers in the city. He saw the tooth flags raised by the soldiers at the top of the city. Although there were few people and the flags were broken, they did not fall down.
Suddenly, Cao Ang was moved.
"Let's move quickly! Don't let uncle...general and the others wait too long!"
"yes!"
With Cao Ang's instructions, his soldiers seemed to move much faster.
A moment later——
As the last ship sailed away from the shore and returned to the position of Chen Jiao and others on the north shore, the first group of nearly two thousand people, led by Cao Ang, completely landed on the bank of Queyue City.
At this moment, the river water beside Queyue City has risen to around an adult man's knees. Because the city gate is slightly low, nearly half of it is not in the water.
Cao Ang led his army and rushed quickly in the direction from which the sound came.
Soon I saw the city gate——
"It's...it's the eldest son! General Cao Ang's army! They are coming to save us! Open the city gate for them!"
Maybe it was because I was too excited.
Someone actually fell down on the city wall.
Cao Ang was so frightened that he hurried forward to investigate, but the man was also blessed with great fortune. When he saw Cao Ang coming in front of him, he didn't care how hard he fell, he just kept giggling and crying...
Cao Ang was quite helpless. He first asked someone to appease the man, and then communicated with the soldiers at the city gate to help open the city gate.
Accompanied by the cheers of the soldiers, Cao Ang entered the city with emotion, only to see a bleak scene all around.
Not to mention the figures of people on the street, it was basically a piece of stagnant water mixed with floodwater and mud.
And because the city has been abandoned for a long time, the houses have not been maintained for many years... many of them simply collapsed after being soaked by the rising water.
Except for these...the nearest outer city is full of arrows...just looking at this scene and the number of arrows, it is not difficult to imagine how terrifyingly suppressed Queyue City was by Guan Yu's army before.
Also...one more thing:
"Why don't you see the General and General Wenpin?"
Because it was difficult to get down in the city, Cao Ang, led by his soldiers, had already climbed up the city wall and looked around.
Both Cao Ren and Wenpin were nowhere to be seen at this moment, and Cao Ang was certainly a little anxious.
"Ah, back to the general, the general and general Wenpin were in the south of the city to resist Guan Yu's ships, but... just now, we have sent a signal to the general, and it won't be long before the general and the others will..."
A soldier who looked relatively young said with a happy face.
Cao Ang nodded at him, which made him so happy that he was a little overwhelmed.
No wonder, on a normal day, this young soldier would not be as haggard as he is today, either in body shape or complexion. The exposure to wind and rain has made his skin white and wrinkled, and he looks like a living dead from a distance.
It's just...he hasn't finished speaking yet.
Cao Ang heard a strange noise coming from afar.
"Um?
Why does it seem like someone is calling me?"
Cao Ang said in confusion, and looked around him. The soldiers around him all looked confused, wondering what Cao Ang was talking about.
Thinking it was his illusion, Cao Ang didn't take the strange noise to heart.
But at the same time…
On the top of the mountain in the distance that Cao Ang didn't notice, Guan Yu just watched them enter the city quietly.
There was no excitement as imagined. At this moment, Guan Yu only felt endless relief in his heart.
"It seems...the hunch was correct..."
Guan Yu secretly thought in his heart, but in reality there was no hesitation.
"Notify Zhoucang Guanping..."
It was as if he had made a major decision related to his life.
There was even a bit more harshness in Guan Yu's voice when he issued the order.
"Break the embankment! Release the water!"
"The general has an order! Break the dike! Release the water!"
"The general has an order! Break the dike! Release the water!!"
The loud voice of the messenger pierced through the rain curtain and reached the other side of the ridge less than five miles away from the top of the mountain.
There, Guan Ping and Zhou Cang, who were already ready to go, looked at each other excitedly, and then they raised their arms and shouted:
"Brothers! Break the dike! Release the water! Crush Cao's army for me!"
"yes!!"
Accompanied by the loud roars of the soldiers, the river that had been sealed for a long time broke through the obstruction with just a light touch - like a trapped beast that had been hungry for a long time, rushing out.
At the moment of being caged, no matter who is in front of it, it will be brutally torn into pieces.
——
"Eh?
No…it seems to be my uncle’s voice?”
Cao Ang heard a familiar sound again, and this time, he was completely sure that someone was calling him.
Sure enough, when I came back to my senses and looked around, on the flooded streets in the distance, there was a group of people working tirelessly and wading through the water without fear of danger.
And who could the leader be but Cao Ren?
Cao Ang exclaimed excitedly and hurriedly led the people behind him to the city to greet him.
But…
Cao Ang always feels weird.
The two sides were far away now, so he couldn't hear the sound very clearly, but for some reason, he felt that Cao Ren was not as happy as he imagined?
On the contrary...the other party's reaction gave him a...a...
"Nephew! Why did you come to the city! Run...run away, we can't wait any longer! Run away!"
I don't know how long it took, but as the distance between the two parties narrowed, Cao Ang understood the meaning expressed in Cao Ren's frightened face.
"Escape...escape?
Why run away?"
He was even frightened by Cao Ren's frightened expression for a moment.
Completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Finally, the distance between the two parties reached a distance enough to hear the shouting clearly.
Cao Ren seemed exhausted, but Cao Ang didn't understand what Cao Ren meant at all.
"Uncle! My nephew is worried about his uncle's safety. Seeing that Governor Jiang Ji failed to arrive, he led his soldiers to help his uncle guard the city... But don't worry, it won't be long before Governor Jiang will bring his ships with him..."
"You! What are you doing here! This is a trap! Run away! There is no time to explain! Run away!!"
"Uncle, what are you talking about?
What trap?
Guan Yu and the others have been forced back by us, and when the time comes, we can..."
Cao Ang was frightened by Cao Ren's hysterical shouting.
Somewhat scared, he explained to Cao Ren that he thought Cao Ren was under too much mental stress these past few days, but the next moment...
Towards the south of the city, the rushing river rolled up huge waves, which directly broke through the crumbling city defense of the south gate.
Yes... How can people get water so quickly?
To be honest... when you can clearly see the flood coming, there is probably no chance of escape.
At this moment, when the flood that destroyed many houses in the blink of an eye swept over, Cao Ang finally understood the meaning of Cao Ren's warning.
