Chapter 360 Digging the Zhanghe River and pouring it back into Yecheng
Chapter 360: Digging up water from the Zhang River and pouring it back into Ye City
In the autumn of the sixth year of Jian'an, Yecheng.
The drizzle is continuous, the autumn wind is bleak... the whistling sound is endless, and it seems to have a sense of sight that the mountain rain is about to come.
On July 17, outside Yecheng, accompanied by cries of killing, a flood poured down like a dam bursting.
I don’t know when the Zhang River burst its banks, and with its majestic force, it surged and flooded the city of Ye...
In an instant, the entire Yecheng fell into a vast ocean...
"Boom, boom, boom."
The drums were beating like thunder, and countless Cao Jun soldiers rushed to the city gate and the city wall on the ships that had been prepared, shouting for death, and the screams were instantly intertwined.
The battle situation can only be described in three words - "one-sided"
Yuan Jun could never have imagined that the water from the Zhang River, which had never burst its banks for hundreds of years, would flow into Yecheng at this moment. However, the water would be so turbulent and fast that there was no time to prepare, and Yuan Jun had been washed to pieces.
"Fight in..."
"Capture Yuan Shang alive..."
"Go ahead..."
…
Countless Cao soldiers rowed their oars while waving their spears and halberds desperately. Under such circumstances, this was not a battlefield with the enemy at all, but a pure competition for credit.
"Offensive, keep putting pressure on Yecheng!"
At this moment, Cao Cao was standing on the commanding heights. This was Cao Cao's camp, which was specially chosen on a high slope. Now... it was perfectly protected from the impact of the Zhang River water.
Looking at Yecheng being poured down in front of him, Cao Cao commanded Ruoding.
In this battle, as long as he rushes into Yecheng, Jizhou will be his!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao felt extremely sad... In this battle, we can only advance but not retreat!
"Mengde, Brother Yi, this is a wonderful move!"
Standing next to Cao Cao is Cao Ren...
Looking at the vast ocean in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
That's right...just like Cao Ren's emotion.
Just one day ago, all the counselors and generals in the Chinese army's tent were at a loss as to how to destroy the city. It seemed that only the simplest but most effective "forced attack" was left...
However, in this way, Cao Jun's weakness of being good at field battles but not good at attacking fortresses will be exposed... He will injure the enemy a thousand times and lose eight hundred to himself.
Just as it happened, Cao Cao received a letter at this time, and then...he proposed the strategy of diverting water from the Zhang River to pour into Ye City.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time Cao Cao has used this "water attack" strategy...
But...this time, the timing is right.
The counselors thought about it carefully and couldn't help but admire it.
In July, it was a time of continuous drizzle in the north. The water level of the Zhang River was already high. In addition, Cao Cao had already dug the Suiyang Canal before, so the expedition was ready and experienced.
For this reason, hundreds of thousands of troops dug a canal overnight to divert water from the Zhang River to Yecheng.
Today, the water in the city is several feet deep, and there is not enough food and grass. Yuan Jun is unprepared... Today's Yecheng is just a dangerous city, crumbling...
All that's left is the straw that breaks the camel's back!
All the counselors and generals were astonished by Cao Cao's strategy, and they were also extremely curious about the letter he received giving him a hint!
Except for a few people, none of them knew that this letter came from Guanzhong and was written by Yi Xiaotian!
"Hahaha…"
Cao Cao laughed heartily... "Thousands of miles away, it's hard to stop Brother Yi's clever plan to conquer Jizhou!"
A few words blurted out...
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was constantly paying attention to the battle to capture Ye City.
…
At this moment, there was also a rumbling sound in Yecheng.
Most of the people and clans were flooded by the water, and Cao's army attacked the city. Those clans that were closely related to the Yuan family were thinking of cleaning up their weaklings and trying to find a way to escape from the city when the war just started.
But there are floods in all directions. In addition to the floods, there are countless Cao Jun...escape? Where can they escape?
The city gate may be captured at any time, and this place has become a water city, an isolated city.
At this moment…
Many people just remembered that the Zhen family, which they had been laughing at all day, seemed to... seemed to have taken the entire clan into Fengming Mountain early in the morning...
That is the commanding heights of Yecheng. No matter how strong the flood is, it cannot submerge Fengming Mountain.
As the rumor goes…
Because of a letter without any reason, the Zhen family fled...
pity…
For two days in a row, apart from ridiculing and treating the fleeing Zhen family as a laughingstock, none of them would believe that this disaster was really coming.
The famous Zhen family fled to Jiming Mountain in a hurry because of a letter. How... ridiculous!
hehe…
Now, they are probably the ones who are ridiculous, right?
…
The sky is getting colder, and the light of dawn resounds across the earth.
"Quick...get the board quickly! Hold the board and swim...swim out!"
"Hide on the eaves...it's high there and the water level won't rise."
"Oh, don't pack up those gold, silver and jewelry. If the flood washes away everything, everything will be gone!"
…
In the streets and alleys filled with Zhang River water, countless people are roaring and screaming...
There are countless people who are at a loss. There is nothing we can do. We can only watch the utensils in our homes being washed away by the floods.
Fire and water are merciless. They who laughed at the Zhen family a moment ago have turned into the worst retribution at this moment. This lesson is profound!
…
Yecheng, Yuan Mansion.
This is the General's Mansion once built by Yuan Shao. It has a magnificent appearance and style...
The light of dawn still didn't seem to light up the darkness here. In the dark moonlight, countless figures were moving, and countless Yuan family servants and soldiers piled up sandbags...
They tried to use these tall sandbags to stop the flood from flooding Yuan's house.
It's a pity...the ideal is very full, but the reality is extremely backbone.
How can a small sandbag withstand the ruthlessness of water and fire...
The shadow of the moon is hazy, the sound of water is surging into the sky, and the sound of wailing is endless.
In an instant, the entire defense line of Yuan Mansion was completely destroyed by the flood.
"Lord, go quickly...go quickly!"
Shen Pei screamed heartbreakingly... He finally found a broken boat from the government office and sent it to the Yuan Mansion without stopping. At this moment, what the loyal Shen Pei wanted to do was to stay as long as possible
The fire of the Yuan family!
"Ling Yecheng... you? Where are you?" Yuan Shang shouted, his brows furrowed tightly... "Ling Yecheng, hurry up and get on the boat, let's, let's escape to Youzhou together, go... to my second brother's place
!”
With an almost hoarse voice, Yuan Shao's roar didn't stop at all all night. Faced with the raging flood, he almost collapsed. Fortunately, the judge found a broken ship, which was almost the only hope of survival!
"Lord, Shen Pei won't go!" Shen Pei patted his chest. He raised his head and chest, and his voice became more determined. "Yecheng is here, and I, Shen Pei, are here. If Ye City dies, I, Shen Pei, die!"
"
In a word, he immediately ordered Yuan Jun beside him to continue moving cement...continue to station the defense line and continue to protect...
Huh... Yuan Shang took a long breath, he didn't care about that much anymore.
now…
The plan to obtain the Zhen family's wealth failed. Yuan's army encountered great difficulties in providing food, grass, and military resources. In addition, the water from the Zhang River poured down...
There is a saying that blessings are unparalleled and misfortunes never come singly. He... He Yuan Shang, even if he was determined to fight Cao Cao, he also knew that Ye City was over and Jizhou was gone... He was no match for Cao Cao at this moment.
"Withdraw, withdraw..."
Yuan Shang made a hoarse voice, and he took one last faint look at this extremely majestic "General's Mansion"...
It seems that two years ago, this place was still crowded and arrogant, but now... it is... it is such a desolate and dilapidated scene!
"Heaven is going to destroy my Yuan family..."
Yuan Shang clenched his hands into fists. At this moment, he wanted to cry but had no tears!
…
Yecheng, Jiming Mountain.
Here is a small mountain courtyard bought by the Zhen family.
Because the mountain is quite high, this place is not affected by the inflow of water from the Zhang River...
"Huo, Brother Yi is really cruel!"
Standing on a high place, looking at Yecheng soaked by the flood in the distance, Guo Jia couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Young Master Guo has such a vicious look!" Next to him was Zhen Tuo, the second daughter of the Zhen family. "I originally thought that Young Master Zhen, and... and that Young Master Yi were just joking, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect...
One word has become a motto.”
When Zhen Tuo heard this sentence, she still felt a little unbelievable...
She patted her chest lightly and continued, "I am afraid that no one except Mr. Guo will believe Mr. Yi's letter if I let him read it!"
"Ha ha…"
Hearing this, Guo Jia laughed. "Yes, Brother Yi's plans are often put to death before reviving. I, Guo Jia, have seen this kind of plan to survive in desperate situations many times, and I am deeply impressed..."
Zhen Tuo nodded, "This little girl is also very impressed!"
Speaking of this, Zhen Tuo seemed to have thought of something. "Mr. Guo, is it Mr. Yi that the third brother mentioned that sister Zhen Luo is following?"
"Exactly." Guo Jia nodded and immediately raised his hand. "Your sister Zhen Luo is so lucky!"
"Sister Zhen Luo has always been very lucky." Zhen Tuo took two steps towards Guo Jia, and then a series of soft and slow words came out one after another. "I just don't know if I, as a sister, am lucky, or not.
How can I follow a wishful man?"
Huo... Guo Jia was slightly startled as soon as he blurted out these words.
This rhythm, dare to love... The relationship between him and Brother Yi is about to make further progress.
