Yu Jin and Pang De, one is an elite of Cao's army in the north, and the other is a fierce general in Xiliang. They are both very familiar with the shock caused by the galloping horses.

This doesn’t feel right, does it?

Besides, how could the Jingzhou Army have so many horses?

The two stopped arguing and went out to check. The result...

At the end of the line of sight in the distance, the line of water with turning flowers seems to be becoming more and more obvious.

! !

After all, he is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Faced with this spectacular scene in front of him, Yu Jin did not open his mouth like a fool and wait for the huge waves to destroy his army.

"Quickly send an order to the Seventh Army to withdraw! All of them withdraw to the northeast!" Yu Jin's eyes were blood red and he clutched the guard's shirt tightly, "We don't want any food, grass, or siege weapons!

"Those who have horses ride, and those who don't have horses, run as fast as they can! Now! Now!! Do you understand?!"

There is higher ground in the northeast.

At this time, Pang De was secretly glad in his heart that being targeted also had its benefits.

His own troops did not garrison Pinglu City, but were arranged in the northeast as a response. They were fully equipped with bows, arrows and armor, so they did not need the weapons in the city.

When the disaster came, they all flew away. At this time, Pang De didn't care to say anything to Yu Jin anymore. He turned around and ran towards his white horse. After mounting, he whipped the horse and ran away to find his troops.

However, the elite of the Seventh Army led by General Yu Jin were not so lucky...

An ordinary horse can reach a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour, which is the "top" speed.

What about the speed of the flood? The lowest is almost 72 km/h...

Not long after, what was originally a spectacular water line in the distance turned into a huge rolling wave and arrived at Pinglu City.

boom--!

The Pinglu City Wall, which had survived for thousands of years but had long been strong on the outside but weak on the inside, could no longer withstand the power of nature and collapsed...

All the buildings in the city were destroyed like toys.

A large amount of food, grass and baggage that Cao's army had not taken away were all swept into the torrent and soaked in the water.

If Yu Jin had not ordered a retreat in time, and the flood would have struck with such force, coupled with the collapsed buildings and city walls, there would have been heavy casualties.

However, even a four-legged horse could not outrun the flood, let alone a two-legged man.

Therefore, the army did not escape far before being overtaken by the flood...

Cao's army, which panicked and fled to the northeast, was all swept up in the ruthless flood.

Cao Cao's elite troops in Guanzhong could only float up and down in the water, feeling their insignificance before the power of heaven and earth.

The only good thing is that Pinglu City, which was previously destroyed by floods, now has various pieces of wood, boxes and other objects rolled up by the floods, which have become critical life-saving items for Cao Jun.

When the flood reached this point, it lost the huge impact it had previously, and it would not kill people instantly.

Therefore, only a thousand people were drowned in Cao Jun's army at this moment, which was considered very few.

Although the officers, generals and some elite cavalry who successfully mounted their horses, including General Yu himself, were washed away by the flood, there were high places not far away that were not submerged by the water.

After unremitting efforts, General Yu, who was in the water, finally led these nearby officers to swim ashore.

Just looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Jin, who had narrowly escaped death for the time being, couldn't be happy no matter what.

The Yangtze River rolls eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes... What they find is really clean.

"General, look! What is that?" An officer next to him pointed in the direction he came from.

Yu Jin, who was immersed in sadness, raised his eyes and saw countless warships with flags fluttering in the distance, approaching through the flood.

Although he was too far away to see the flag clearly, Yu Jin had already closed his eyes.

Is this still necessary? Who else could have so many ships here?

He has now figured out all the causes and consequences. He was defeated by Guan Yu without spending a single soldier.

"The situation is over..."



When he saw the bearded man standing proudly on the bow of the ship, General Yu knelt down without any hesitation or struggle.

Not only Yu Jin, but all the officers and generals around him also knelt down at the same time.

beat? Fight to the death without surrender?

What are you going to fight with? They are on the warship with their bows and arrows ready to go, but my own bows, arrows, and soldiers are still soaking in the water!

"Congratulations to my father! This time, my father captured the 30,000 elite troops of Cao Wei without even using a single soldier. Cao Cao is defeated! This battle of my father's will definitely go down in history!"

Guan Ping's excitement and joy almost overflowed from his face.

This is an unprecedented victory! The kind that can be recorded in history is the supreme honor of being a warrior, and of course it is extremely exciting.

Guan Yu also had a smile on his face at this time: "Haha, don't rush to celebrate now. Leave the men behind to collect the surrendered soldiers, and the others will follow me to pursue the victory."

"yes!"

Although Pang De's troops were not as miserable as Yu Jin, they were also besieged by the flood. When Guan Yu's army arrived in ships, Pang De decisively ordered the troops trapped in Gudi to fight back.

It was just that except for himself, the morale of the others was already gone, and they suffered heavy casualties from the arrows fired from Guan Yu's ship.

The Jingzhou navy calmly hid behind the gang of boats and fought back, almost unscathed.

His subordinate Dong Heng couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward and said: "General, it is impossible for our army to win. How about..."

Dong Chao also said: "Yes, General, if you can keep him useful, you may still have a chance... surrender first."

Pang De glared: "A good general is not afraid of death and seeks to survive without ruining important events. Today is the day I die!"

After that, he drew his sword and beheaded Dong Heng and Dong Chao first, setting the record for the highest number of beheadings in this battle!

Don't care which general is killed, just say whether he was killed or not?

General Pang, who did not mention at all how he joined Cao's army, was defeated and quickly found a surviving boat to escape to Fancheng.

Guan Yu and his son laughed as they watched General Pang, who couldn't row, spin around in the big waves, and finally capsized and fell into the water...

Pang De, who was finally arrested, thought clearly that he could no longer be surrendered. If he were surrendered again, he would become a repetitive person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Even if he got to Liu Bei, he would not be reused.

What's more, Liu Bei's cavalry is sparse, and there is no place for Pound to use him.

Therefore, he would rather die than surrender, cursed Guan Yu, and had a strong desire to die, and finally succeeded in seeking death.



Fancheng.

When the flood reached Fancheng, it no longer had the invincible momentum.

But for rammed earth walls, immersion in water was still fatal.

As time goes by, it is still inevitable that the city will be broken.

Seeing this situation, a general under Cao Ren advised: "General, now the floods are flooding, and there is no news from General Yu Jin's reinforcements. I'm afraid...

"Why don't we take a boat overnight and abandon the city before Guan Yu arrives? If we are surrounded in this isolated city and soaked in floods, the city will probably be destroyed sooner or later."

Cao Ren was extremely confused at this time.

I look forward to it day and night, hoping that 30,000 reinforcements will come to temporarily relieve the siege of Fancheng.

I thought it would dampen Guan Yu's spirit...but it was gone.

Man Chong, the prefect of Runan on the side, saw the wavering in Cao Ren's heart at this time and said anxiously: "General, we can't retreat! If the flood can come in time, it will go away quickly.

"Guan Yu didn't dare to take advantage of the situation and go north because he was afraid that we and others would attack from behind. If he abandoned the city and left at this time...south of the Hong River, it would not belong to the rest of the country!"

After hearing this, Cao Ren made a quick decision and decided to stick to Fancheng.

To show his determination, Man Chong drowned his white horse and swore to defend the city with all the troops in the city.

Fancheng went through a great battle and was finally surrounded by Guan Yu.

At the same time, the news that General Jin surrendered without a fight, Pang De was beheaded, and the entire elite seven armies were annihilated was quickly spread to the three parties...

The world is shocked!
