"Boom!"
The moment the Yangtze River burst its banks, Pang Tong, who was on the boat in Jiangdong, turned pale.
How smart he was, he understood the consequences of the Yangtze River bursting its banks in an instant.
Cao Jun's ships were washed down the embankment one by one by the force of the current. As expected, the left wing troops who were chasing them would suffer heavy losses and many would be swept away by the flood.
However, Jiang Dongjun had already crossed the bank where the embankment burst and reached the lower reaches, where it would be difficult for him to be sucked back by the flood.
This would be a great victory, but Pang Tong couldn't accept it at all.
He shouted wildly: "Zhou Yu, son!"
While shouting, he boarded the bow.
Seeing that Zhou Yu was still wearing a feather fan and turban, looking calmly at the bursting of the Yangtze River, he grabbed Zhou Yu's shoulders.
"Zhou Yu, son, you keep saying that the truth is revealed on the battlefield, but now that the Yangtze River has burst its banks, what are you going to do! How are you going to explain it to me?"
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was disrespectful to call someone by his or her name in person, and the guard next to him had already drawn his sword.
But Zhou Yu waved his hand and let him catch him and said: "Cao's army is in chaos, the main force has been defeated, the Yangtze River is overflowing, blocking the enemy's path, and within a year or two, Cao's thieves will have no chance to attack. Such a great victory, what else do you want from me? explain?"
Pang Tong grabbed him hysterically and said: "It has been raining for days, Yunmengze is also full of embankments, the Yangtze River has burst, and the water has nowhere to go. Isn't it going straight into Jiangxia! Shiyang, Miokou, Anlu, Xiakou! Aren't the counties in Jiangxia To have peace? The fertile fields have been flooded. How will the hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangxia live with themselves? Do they still have a way to survive?"
When he said this, Pang Tong's eyes were already red.
Zhou Yu still did not throw Pang Tong away. He said calmly: "If it hadn't rained for days, the Yangtze River would have burst into Yunmengze, unable to stop Cao's army. Now that the water has flooded Jiangxia, their food and grass will no longer be able to be transported. It is difficult for large ships to travel in flooded areas, and it is even more difficult for three giant ships to move forward. This breach of the dike has completely cut off Cao's army's way to continue to advance eastward. Isn't it the best result?"
Pang Tong was extremely angry: "I just used poison, but you didn't want to. Now you... now you..."
Zhou Yu gave an answer that shocked him extremely: "I have already seen the Jiangxia epidemic. This epidemic cannot spread on a large scale. Your use of this strategy will have no effect!"
Pang Tong felt like the world was spinning. He thought he was the first to create this plan. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu had already considered poisoning Cao Ying.
He has understood a series of causes and consequences.
Dong's attack on the night crossing was actually to lure away the tiger and leopard cavalry and cover the real people crossing the river.
Lu Xun's night crossing was actually to add insurance to the matter, not Lu Xun's original intention.
When the two armies faced each other, he put Liu Bei's army at the end, but he hid the intention of pretending to lose. In fact, he wanted Liu Bei's army to cut off the rear.
The two generals he brought, Mi Fang's life and death are unknown, and Yuan Lin has died in the battle.
Zhou Yu had no plan left, but he was incapable of being furious. He couldn't even hurt Zhou Yu at all.
"Pang Shiyuan, have you had enough trouble? If so, calm down and think about how to defeat Cao Jun next!"
Zhou Yu's cold words brought him back to reality.
Pang Tong clenched his fists.
Zhou Yu is really too calm this time.
It was Zhou Yu's calmness that made Pang Tong even more angry.
He seemed to see a war machine, doing whatever it took to win.
He was able to calmly say that rain would be better, and flooding more people would be the best outcome.
It was as if those who drowned were not people, and the flooded fields were not farmland.
He actually said such a cruel thing in an understatement, treating human life as nothing.
How many secrets does he have yet to tell?
Pang Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu's flagship in the distance.
The flagship with the banner of "Left Governor Zhonghu Junzhou" erected, is racing against the five-toothed ship and the flood.
This was not the first day he had cooperated with Jiangdong Army. He knew deeply that Zhou Yu had absolute authority in Jiangdong Army.
In this battle, Zhou Yu hid his true self and let others pretend to be the flagship. However, the big banner is unusual, and the flagship is very important. There must be someone who can suppress various Jiangdong armies like Zhou Yu before he can pretend to be the flagship.
And this person must be trustworthy enough to avoid disrupting the command.
Who is that over there?
Zhou Yu's next words interrupted his thoughts.
"Shi Yuan, in the future we will bring General Liu from Xiakou to Chaisang to stay. You still need to lobby and don't mess up the situation."
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Pang Tong suddenly open his eyes.
He thought of another problem that he had ignored.
If it was just a breach of the embankment, why did we have to cross to Jiangbei at night?
Wouldn't it be more convenient to break the dikes on the south bank they control?
He quickly figured out that the reason why he did not break the dike in the south of the Yangtze River was simply because the south bank of the Yangtze River was the area under Sun Quan's actual control, and the north bank of the Yangtze River belonged to Liu Bei and Cao Cao!
Celestial phenomena and geography were all exploited, and it was Liu Xuande's territory that was flooded, not Sun Zhongmou's!
Miangkou and Jiangxia were in danger, but Nanchang and Chaisang were not damaged at all!
The people of Jiangdong can resume their great career at any time, but his lord no longer has a foothold!
What a Zhou Yu, three families are competing against each other, and one of them is trying to outwit two families, he is really better than the rest of the world!
Pang Tong's throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood welled up.
His eyes were red, and when he raised his head, Zhou Yu had already begun to command the remaining 5,000 troops in preparation for a counterattack.
He was dizzy and tried to stop the bleeding, but he spit out another mouthful of blood and fainted on the deck.
The river was surging, and the flood quickly reached Yunmengze.
It had been raining for days, and Yunmengze could not store any water, and soon it was connected to the river.
The water in Yunmengze is calm, but the water in the Yangtze River is turbulent. Soon, Yunmengze will also flood, and the counties in Jiangxia are in danger.
However, by the big lake of Yunmengze, Fengchu Pang Shiyuan, the military advisor of General Liu Bei of the Left, could not afford to fall ill.
The phoenix chick rises and falls into the lake.
…
Cao Wu also saw through Zhou Yu's plan.
After the breach, the speed of the water at the breach far exceeded the speed of the water flowing downstream. Being blown by the east wind, Cao Jun's ships, which were unable to take advantage of the wind, flowed towards the breach one after another.
Those who reacted quickly had already lowered the sails and tried to struggle away from the north shore.
However, contrary to expectations, many ships have rushed down from the breach.
Cao Wu gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Yu's flagship in front of him. His five-toothed ship had already hit the opponent's flagship.
On the opponent's flagship, the soldiers were ready for a broadside battle. However, with a "boom", according to Cao Wu's earlier instructions, Heng Jie commanded the five-toothed ship on the right side of the building to hit the middle of Zhou Yu's flagship.
The situation was so critical, Cao Wu would not engage in a confrontation with them, and the Wuya ship would directly collide with them!
Without the protection of the clippers, Zhou Yu's flagship was like an egg without a shell. It was hit by two five-toothed ships in succession and had long been torn.
The five-toothed ship whose commander-in-chief Linghu Xian was killed had a somewhat chaotic command and ran into it later, hitting the stern of the ship.
This is the first building ship to enjoy the collision of three large five-tooth ships at the same time since the war began.
"Squeak..."
The impact force of the Five Tooth Ship was so strong that several cracks appeared on the hull of Zhou Yu's flagship and gradually expanded.
This flagship has been declared doomed.
Cao Wu got used to the inertia caused by the impact, stabilized his body, stood on the bow of the ship, emerged from the bunker, and shouted to the opponent's flagship: "Zhou Yu, son, you are surrounded by me, come out and die quickly!"
But at this moment, the trumpet sound suddenly sounded among the five thousand remaining soldiers.
"Buzz——"
It was far away and the sound was not loud enough, but it seemed to explode directly in Cao Wu's mind.
Zhou Yu's flagship is clearly here, but where does the horn come from in the distance?
When I went to see the flagship, a short figure in armor loomed in the place most closely guarded by Jiangdong soldiers.
…
On the eve of the decisive battle, beside the large tent of the Jiangdong Chinese Army.
Zhou Yu sighed: "Mrs. Sun, have you thought about it?"
Da Qiao said without hesitation: "The day I married into the Sun family, I had an awakening. I want to know, has Gong Jin made up his mind?"
Zhou Yu looked proudly at the Yangtze River: "Think about it. As a general, if you don't have the courage to take responsibility, why bother to fight."
At that moment, he was thinking about that nursery rhyme.
Generals are not generals, Zhou Yu captured the Yangtze River in one battle.
