The upper reaches of Bian River.
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and a gleam of light loomed in the dark night.
As the horses neighed and charged, light drifted all the way. It was Taishi Ci who rushed to the front of the team, holding a torch, to clear the way for Liu Bei.
"Hush!"
Liu Bei tightened the reins fiercely, and then let out a long shout, and the horse stopped.
Even though it was late at night, Liu Bei arrived at the destination quickly after receiving the mission.
When the soldiers guarding the embankment saw someone approaching, they hurriedly took precautions and lit torches to surround them.
After seeing clearly that the person coming was Liu Bei, everyone quickly bowed and clasped their fists, saying: "See you, my lord!"
"No need to be polite."
Liu Bei jumped off his horse, waved his hand, and immediately rushed to the river. Taishi Ci quickly followed him holding a torch.
By the light of the fire, Liu Bei could see clearly.
At this time, the river behind the dam was already filled with water!
As the Yellow River opens up, more and more water will flow upstream, and the water level will get higher and higher. There are already signs of leakage, and it seems that it won't last long.
"Ziyi, where should we start digging these three sections of dam?"
Liu Bei turned around and asked Taishi Ci.
"In the end, I think we should start from the last embankment." Taishi Ci said, clasping his fists.
Liu Bei asked again: "What time is it now, and how long is it until Ziyi orders the attack?"
“Mr.
Liu Bei nodded, a trace of excitement and excitement flashed in his eyes.
Finally, it’s time to attack!
Although he couldn't participate in the battle to destroy the enemy, he lit the fuse with his own hands, which gave him a full sense of participation.
Liu Bei stood with his hands behind his back. After closing his eyes and concentrating, Taishi Ci, who had been observing the river water, came over.
"Mr. Xuande, the time has come."
The calm voice shocked Liu Bei's heart, and he suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"Okay, give me the order to dig the dams one by one!"
Liu Bei raised his hand and gave the order with a loud shout.
"As you command!"
All the soldiers responded with clasped fists, and then began to take action.
After the first two dams were dug, the leaking river water went straight downstream. Although the flow rate was fast, it was still within the acceptable range.
But after the last dike was dug, the river became violent like a beast coming out of the gate.
There was no need to dig all the way out, just a gap. The river flowed quickly, and the remaining embankment shattered like paper, unable to stop the flood at all.
The previously calm river water suddenly gained kinetic energy, like a violent storm. The remnants of the last two dams could not even block it for a moment, and were washed away in an instant.
The most ruthless thing is fire and water!
In this huge water, human power seems so small and ridiculous, even a random splash becomes a stormy sea.
"Mr. Xuande, be careful!"
Seeing the water coming from the river, Taishi Ci quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Bei, who was watching the river at close range.
"Nothing, nothing."
Liu Beihun smiled nonchalantly, but the glint in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
In the flowing water, he seemed to see the destruction of Niu Fu's army, and an idea even came to his mind.
If Dong's 100,000-strong army were present, would this flood of water be enough to submerge them all?
In fact, of course it can.
In front of a huge wave, one person is drowned, and a hundred thousand people are drowned. There is no difference.
But it is impossible to achieve.
Liu Bei's few men and horses, carefully arranged, could mobilize Niu Fu's 30,000 men, but could not mobilize Dong Zhuo's 100,000 troops, so naturally they would not be able to achieve the effect of a water attack.
Standing on the shore, Liu Bei observed the water flow and was filled with emotion.
Ziyi is truly a genius!
This water attack is comparable to the Battle of Weishui in the past when Chu and Han were fighting for supremacy. Han Xin defeated the Chu general Long Qie with a flood, captured the entire Qi region, and reversed the situation of the Chu-Han war in one fell swoop. It can be said that he made the greatest contribution!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Today is also a chaotic time that has not been seen for hundreds of years, just like the end of Qin Dynasty. Ziyi was such a talented person and had always been unknown before, but he happened to meet him, just like Xiao He met Han Xin in the past.
Could it be that... Ziyi was really sent by God to save the big man?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei suddenly became a little excited, and even his eyes became moist.
One is to rejoice that he is lucky to have the help of a great talent like Zhang Heng.
Both, because there is still hope for this broken man.
Fortunately, God's will will not stop Yan Han, and we should work hard to make progress.
This time we will definitely destroy the Dong thief and help the country!
Liu Bei wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, his expression was extremely determined, and he waved his hand and said:
"Let's go back to camp and watch the generals destroy the thieves!"
…
Guoting.
After the generals received the military order, it took less than an hour to organize the soldiers and lead the troops out of the city to form an array.
On the general platform, Zhang Heng stood with his hands behind his back, his face becoming more serious under the light of the torch.
Soon after, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and the soldiers who were exploring from the front returned.
"Report to the Master, the Bian River has surged!"
Hearing this, Zhang Heng's whole body perked up, and the cheers of the generals rang out behind him.
"Has the dam been broken? Brother, you are so fast!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly, his tone already impatient.
"We'll investigate again. We'll call you every quarter of an hour. If you see the water flow slowing down, report it immediately!" Zhang Heng said, waving his sleeves.
"As you command!"
The soldier clasped his fists and left.
Zhang Fei had already dismounted and ran over. He grinned at Zhang Heng and said, "Ziyi, when will we start attacking?"
"Don't worry, the flood has just arrived. If we attack now, we will die together with the enemy." Zhang Heng shook his head and smiled, "The terrain downstream of the Bian River is flat, and the flood will retreat as quickly as it comes. With the savings we have accumulated in the past few days, If the amount of water is enough, the flood will recede within an hour at most.”
"That means we can attack in an hour, right?" Zhang Fei asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what it is."
Zhang Heng nodded and turned to look into the distance, his gaze far-reaching and profound, as if he wanted to penetrate the boundless night and see through the Niu Fu military camp ten miles away.
So what is Niu Fu's army doing at the moment?
The answer is sleeping.
It was late at night, and the entire Niu Fu army was immersed in sweet sleep.
Just today, Niu Fu has decided to attack Guoting again tomorrow, so he naturally wants his soldiers to be energetic. In addition, Zhang Liao's attack was repelled during the day, so Niu Fu believed that no enemy troops would attack the camp tonight, so he only left more than a thousand soldiers to patrol the camp at night.
Late at night, it was extremely quiet, and the soldiers on patrol were also drowsy.
Just then, the flood came!
At first, the night watchmen only vaguely heard the sound of waves lapping in the distance. They thought it was the rising water in Bian River and paid no attention to it.
But then, the sound of water flowing became louder and louder, getting closer...
Blah blah blah...
The night watchman heard more and more something was wrong, and he hurriedly raised his torch and went forward to check.
Then, they saw a scene they would never forget.
If they have a future.
Boundless floods invaded the sky, and huge waves rolled up everything in their path, just like evil ghosts seducing people, which made people feel desperate.
"Impossible...how can there be so much water...impossible!"
The leading soldier couldn't help but rub his eyes. What started as muttering to himself turned into a mad roar at the end, with despair in his voice.
Without any time to think, the soldier turned around and ran away, running with all his strength.
Looking at the other soldiers, they were already frightened and stood there at a loss.
But it doesn't matter, because the result is the same whether you run or not.
The water roared in and swept these soldiers into it and drowned them completely.
"Water... the flood is coming, the flood is coming!"
Other night watchmen also discovered the situation, hurriedly threw away their weapons and began to flee crazily.
If the enemy army comes to attack, these well-trained soldiers will definitely attack immediately and then quickly report to the commander.
But facing the monstrous flood, they had only one thought in their minds - escape!
The faster you escape, the better, the further you escape, the better!
At the moment of life and death, I can no longer care about anything else.
But there are floods in all directions, where can they escape?
If you can't escape, you can only wait to die.
The entire Niufu camp quickly became chaotic, with sounds of running, shouting, and crying everywhere, and the various emotions of people under despair were vividly interpreted.
Perhaps those soldiers who were sleeping had a better outcome, because they lost their lives unknowingly and did not have to experience this nightmare.
