The waves come one after another, as if there is no end. Xiapi City has been smashed by Cao Jun for more than ten days. Many places cannot be seen on the surface, but there is already a lot of damage inside. Once it is hit by the water wave, it will immediately
A section of the city wall several feet long collapsed.
The raging river poured into the city, and the people, old and young, climbed onto the roofs to escape the ravages of the flood. The water level gradually rose, and the people could only continue to higher places. After daybreak, Guan Yu was on the tower.
At first glance, most of Xiapi City had been submerged under the flood, and only a few higher places were crowded with people crying and screaming.
Chen Dao came from the city with a wooden basin. He climbed up to the top of the city all wet and said to Guan Yu: "General, all the granaries in the city have been flooded. The soldiers and civilians have been killed and injured innumerable. We can still confirm the surviving soldiers."
It’s less than two thousand, and it’s still trapped everywhere.”
He paused and continued: "The general found some door panels and wooden basins in the city, and asked the general to retreat immediately!"
Guan Yu's face was gloomy, and the anger in his body seemed to be bursting out uncontrollably. His voice was low and hoarse, "I was ordered by my brother to guard Xiapi. Now that the city of Xiapi has been destroyed, how can I still have the dignity to withdraw? You
Take the people and retreat first, I, Guan Yunchang, will only have a dead ear!"
"Pap tap tap tap", there was another sound beside the city wall, but Gao Shun also held the door panel and rowed over. As soon as he came up, he heard Guan Yu say that he wanted to die with the city.
"General Guan, I was looking from the tower just now, and Cao Jun's warships have already come this way."
Guan Yu sneered and said: "A certain family has been thinking for a long time and is still not sure whether the flood is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but now it is certain!"
He stood up, looked at the white-capped water outside, and shouted: "The traitor Cao is really shameless. He thought of such a heartless idea when he couldn't attack the city! You lead the people to retreat first, and I will stop the rear here!"
Chen Dao had a look of helplessness on his face, "We are trapped on this wall, how can we resist the wolf-like tigers of Cao's army? General, we'd better retreat first!"
Guan Yu said: "Cao's army has been prepared for a long time. If no one attracts their attention, how can the soldiers and people in the city evacuate? I have made up my mind and there is no need to say anything more!"
Chen Dao looked up to the sky and sighed, saying: "In this case, it's just a matter of accompanying the general to death in battle."
Next to him, Gao Shun prostrated himself on the ground, dripping wet, and said in a deep voice: "Although Liu Shijun is now outnumbered, he will never surrender to Cao Cao easily. In future battles against Cao Cao, Liu Shijun will need the assistance of two generals.
How can you waste your life here?"
He raised his head and said: "The last general is incompetent. I hope the false general's banner will remain here to attract the enemy."
Gao Shun has always been stern and taciturn, but now he said so much in one breath, which greatly changed Chen Dao's impression of him. But now that the situation was critical, Chen Dao couldn't care about anything else and just followed his words.
He said loudly to Guan Yu: "My lord regards the general as his right-hand man. Does the general want to cut off my lord's arm?"
Guan Yu's expression changed slightly, he stared at Gao Shun and said, "But if you stay, you will definitely be annihilated...Does General Gao have anything to say?"
Gao Shun bowed again, then stood up and said: "The general is originally a subordinate of General Lu Bu, and he followed Liu Shijun to the east just to serve his ancestors. If the general and Liu Shijun still have some minor achievements in thinking about the general,
Please say a few good words to the general, and ask the general not to be General Lu Bu anymore."
"That's it?" Guan Yu asked, "Is there anything else?"
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Other than that, I have nothing else to ask for."
Guan Yu nodded and said, "I remember what you said."
Afterwards, Guan Yu and Chen Dao led hundreds of soldiers and thousands of people, carrying wooden basins, door panels, tree branches and other things, and fled further east before Cao Jun's warship arrived. Gao Shun
Then he erected the flag left by Guan Yu and ordered the soldiers to beat drums and blow trumpets to indicate his presence.
"Whoosh!"
The oars were shaking, and Cao Jun's warship headed towards Xiapi City. It was said to be a warship, but in fact it was just a fishing boat used by ordinary people. Cao Jun dug up the river embankment in a hurry and had no time to prepare professional warships.
.Besides, there is no habit or tradition of using warships in the north.
However, they were prepared at least, and even the fishing boats could be of great use. Hearing the sound of drums and trumpets on the city, the generals of Cao's army shouted loudly and commanded the small fleet to move towards the sound.
After a while, someone on the bow shouted, "It's Guan Yu's flag!"
"I saw Guan Yu!"
"Catch Guan Yu!"
"My lord has an order to capture Guan Yu alive!"
A dozen Cao Jun generals, leading more than a thousand elite soldiers, rushed towards this section of the city wall. There were not many of them, but the defenders were not only in bad shape, they were also divided into many places by the floods, and they were separated from each other.
Unable to rescue each other, they could only watch dozens of fishing boats approaching the city wall.
"Fire the arrow!"
Because they were fighting on water, Cao's soldiers did not wear armor, but they carried many bows and crossbows. As the general gave the order, arrows flew out like locusts.
"Dang-dang-dang", "puff-puff-puff", the arrows hit the shields and walls, making either crisp or dull sounds. There were only more than 300 people on the wall where Gao Shun was, although they also used crossbows.
He fought back, but was soon suppressed by arrows and unable to raise his head.
The Surabaya River burst its banks at ten o'clock in the middle of the night. Many soldiers were flooded without preparation. They fled to the city in a hurry. Many of them were not fully clothed and armored, let alone carrying crossbows and arrows. Therefore, Cao Jun could rely on them unscrupulously.
Go to a very close place and shoot the people on the city to death one by one.
After a long time, as General Cao's army shouted, the crossbowmen with sore arms stopped shooting. Arrows were already everywhere on the city top, and many defenders fell to the ground, letting out slight groans.
"Go! My lord has an order. Whoever captures Guan Yu alive will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a pair of white jade! Whoever takes his head will have his reward halved!"
Under heavy reward, there must be brave men. Cao's soldiers are basically no different from slaves, so they fight fiercely and harm the people with great ferocity. When they heard that such a reward was offered, the soldiers rushed to the city.
head, wanting to take the reward into his arms.
But when Cao Jun's soldiers climbed to the top of the city, someone suddenly stood up behind the battlements and rained javelins and arrows on the invaders.
"Puff puff puff", the few arrows and javelins still caused huge damage to Cao's soldiers. When they were not wearing armor and at such a short distance, as long as they were hit by the javelins, they would basically lose their combat effectiveness.
.If you are just hit by an arrow, if you are lucky, you can save a life.
Dozens of Cao Jun soldiers screamed and fell into the river, and their blood dyed the surrounding waters a little red. However, the tragic situation of their comrades did not destroy their morale, and more soldiers continued to rush forward with roars.
.They know that the defenders are at the end of their game and there are not many people. Now is the time to rush forward and gain military exploits!
Gao Shun held a shield in one hand and a short spear in the other, and stepped forward to fight with Cao Jun. After stabbing six enemies to death in succession, he also received several blows on his body, and blood flowed out along his armor. Gao Shun fought and fought.
After retreating, the soldiers around him also started a fierce battle with the enemy, but they were outnumbered and soon all casualties were lost. Only him was left who could continue to hold on because of the strong armor.
"Guan Yu is here!"
The surrounding Cao soldiers shouted while nervously forcing Gao Shun to the corner. Gao Shun was wearing Guan Yu's armor and helmet, leaning against the flying flag with the word "Guan", and kept breathing hard. Every time
Every breath would cause severe pain in his lungs, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.
"Kuan?"
Xu Chu separated from Cao Jun's soldiers and stepped forward. He looked at Gao Shun and then said with certainty: "You are not Guan Yu!"
"What? This man isn't Guan Yu? If it wasn't Guan Yunchang, how could he have killed so many of us?"
Xu Chu sneered and said: "Guan Yu is nine feet tall. This man is not taller than me. How can he be Guan Yu?"
He pointed the knife at Gao Shun and shouted: "Who are you? Where is Guan Yu?"
Gao Shun panted for a while, then suddenly laughed. He took off his helmet, raised his head and said, "This is Gao Shun who is under the command of General Lu Bu! As for General Guan, he has already gone far away!"
"Gao Shun? It doesn't matter. If you can't kill Guan Yu, killing Gao Shun won't be in vain."
Xu Chu shouted loudly towards the surrounding people: "Get out of the way, let me kill him!"
Xu Zhongkang, who was big and round, walked up and slashed at Gao Shun with his sword. Gao Shun raised the shield in his left hand to block, and stabbed Xu Chu with the short spear in his right hand. This move was both offensive and defensive, and the short spear and shield were used
The advantages of his weapons were fully utilized. He had relied on such tricks before to stab to death and wound many enemies.
However, he had been fighting fiercely for a long time and had been injured in many places. No matter how exquisite his moves were, they could not exert their due power. Facing Gao Shun's counterattack, Xu Chu strode forward, rushed into the middle line, and struck hard with the handle of his sword.
On the shield, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed the short spear.
Xu Chu was stronger than Gao Shun. At this time, he grabbed the short spear and established the victory. He was not willing to give up the advantage, and kicked Gao Shun over. The surrounding Cao soldiers rushed forward and knocked down the people on the ground.
The enemy captured him.
"Vulnerable!" Xu Chu shook his head, a little disappointed, "If you weren't injured, you might be able to defeat me in two moves, but now, it's too far off!"
He shouted to the soldiers: "Tie up Gao Shun tightly and take him to see the lord! Although he is not Guan Yu, he is also a general under Liu Bei. Be careful and don't let him jump into the water and commit suicide!"
Cao's soldiers laughed and said: "Don't worry, General Xu, I promise to tie him up tightly!"
"That's right, Er Mazi's skill in binding people is one of the best in the army! None of the women he tied up before could break free!"
Xu Chu was a powerful man with thousands of men and excellent martial arts, so he was highly used as soon as he joined Cao Cao. He had nothing in common with these dirty guys, and he had no special interest in rope skills. He hummed when he heard this
With a cry, he turned around and jumped on a small boat, heading towards the camp.
