The night comes wind and rain, Whispering Colour! A heavy rain came suddenly, which made Ji Ling who was guarding the city a little confused. How could it rain so easily? There shouldn’t be heavy rain in this season! But no matter what Ji Ling thinks, this heavy rain is a challenge for him. Although it can slow down the speed of the three-party coalition's attack on the city, it is also a big problem for the preservation of food and grass!
"Second order, the army must not move lightly. Even if it is forbidden to attack the city, let him cross the moat. Even if he still attacks with water, do not meet the enemy at will! Let the soldiers seize the time to recuperate. In addition, let 5,000 soldiers be behind Cao Jun's water attack. Build another wall!" Ji Ling thought for a while and said
"Yes! General!"
"The general has seen Cao Jun's plan!" Yan Xiang asked
"Yes, you told me last time that Yu Jin wanted to flood Shouchun. Now it seems the time is ripe!" Ji Ling smiled bitterly.
"Then how to fix it? No matter how much preparation you make now, it will be difficult!" Prince Yuan Yao couldn't help but said
"Haha! Once Cao Jun releases the water, I'm afraid they won't be able to control the water flow!" Ji Ling said mysteriously
"Instruct the Guards to open the first three tunnels and put the water behind Liu Bei's army!" Ji Ling said with a smile. Regarding the place where Liu Bei set up camp, Ji Ling didn't know whether to say he was lucky or bad. It was originally a good place. Unfortunately, Ji Ling had already prepared a secret passage. If Yu Jin hadn't suddenly made such a move, he would have wanted to raid Liu Bei's army at night!
"General, isn't this a bit risky? What if Liu Bei comes in through the tunnel?" Yan Xiang said.
"Why do you ask this?" Ji Ling was a little confused. He really couldn't figure it out. How could he ask such a stupid question? When the flood came, it was too late to escape, so how could he dare to kill in it!
"Does Yu Jin want a ruined Shouchun City?" Yan Xiang said with a smile.
"this?"
"What Yu Jin wants is our food and grass supplies. He will not release them unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if he does, we can't tell who the final winner will be!" Yan Xiang said,
"Congratulations, sir!" Although Ji Ling felt that what this guy said made some sense, he still felt a little uneasy. After all, Yan Xiang's IQ was just like that. In Ji Ling's eyes, Yan Xiang was almost the same as him, even worse. Sometimes he was worse than himself, but he still deployed according to his orders and did not adopt Yan Xiang's opinions at all!
While several people in Shouchun City were thinking about it, Yu Jin saw that the water level was almost there. Directly arranged for the army to occupy the favorable terrain, and also sent people to notify Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others!
"General, it's almost done!" Cao Chun was a little excited. Xiahou Dun had already gone to prepare, and now he just needed his order!
"Okay, let's go inform General Yuan Rang! Let's teach Ji Ling a good lesson!" Yu Jin said with a smile, and he was also looking forward to opening the gap in Shouchun!
"Come on!" Cao Chun laughed and ran out!
Up and down the river, it suddenly became turbulent. What does it mean to be out of control? What does it mean to plunge thousands of miles? Ji Ling finally knew it today. He saw the water intercepted by Cao Jun, like thousands of horses galloping, with a powerful momentum, like a steel knife. Slashed on the city wall. The tall city wall immediately looked like a spider web, with cracks in pieces. After withstanding two impacts, it completed its mission gloriously and successfully! It fell without any hesitation, as if any extra second of delay was a sign of disrespect for the water.
"Pay attention to protection and open all tunnel entrances!" Ji Ling had already made arrangements immediately. The huge vibration almost threw him off the city wall. At this moment, he could not take care of Yan Xiang who was scared to death and the people in the city. Loss, quickly command the troops to defend!
"While there is water and Cao's army cannot enter, hurry up and guard the city wall!" Ji Ling shouted loudly, for fear that others would not hear!
"General, is the city wall still useful now?" Yan Xiang asked with a mournful face.
"It's useful! If the city wall is there, there will be a place to stand!" Yuan Yao said
"Congratulations, general! Can we send out troops?" Cao Chun couldn't help but said as he watched a city wall collapse, revealing the residences in Shouchun City.
"Don't worry, the city wall has been broken, and Shouchun City will be broken sooner or later. However, there are currently too many troops and horses, and the water is turbulent, which is not conducive to the full deployment of the army. If a small group of troops enters, it will only give Ji Ling experience!" Yu Jin laughed! road
"Then when will we attack?"
"Wait! Wait for Liu Bei and Lu Bu's troops!"
The flood entered Shouchun City and did not spread over a large area. Thanks to Ji Ling's arrangements in advance, it only occupied about one-third of the area and then flowed into the ground. The water flow was rapid, like an ordinary galloping horse, carrying the water with it. Ji Ling's hope flowed into the secret passage. At this time, Ji Ling had a smile on his face. Although the city was broken, as long as it was still in his hands, Cao Jun could not get in. At this time, everyone was probably waiting for the water to subside, and then Come attack again, this time difference is what you need most!
"Send the order and hurry up to repair the city wall. Others will guard the gap for me. I want Yu Jin to taste our strength!" Ji Ling said loudly. Firstly, he said this to deal with the current situation. Secondly, it is also the most important. That is to boost morale!
"No!" the messenger said loudly, with a trace of excitement in his voice!
In Liu Bei's military camp, the soldiers were all dressed up. The impatient Zhang Fei had walked back and forth countless times, and he saw that Guan Yunchang was one head and two big!
"I'm telling you, third brother, you can't wait for a while!" Guan Yu couldn't bear it any longer and started to persuade him.
"Second brother! How can I calm down? Yu Wenze has already opened the gap in Shouchun. As long as the water recedes, it's time for us to destroy Yuan Shu, the rebel!" Zhang Fei said excitedly
"It will take a long time until the water recedes!" Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Boom!" "Brother, you..." Before Zhang Fei could finish his words, there was a sudden roar, which made Liu Bei feel a little uncomfortable. Could it be that Yu Jin was going to attack him now, or was it Lu Bu? Zai started to rebel!
"Wow!" Waves of water sounds came, making Guan Yu a little confused. Why had all the water flowed outside the city?
"Lord, it's not good! The flood has reached our place!" Mi Fang suddenly broke in and shouted loudly. With one sentence, Taoyuan Sankeng was frightened to the point of peeing!
"What did you say? Yu Jin, you bastard! I'll kill you!" Zhang Fei was furious,
"Third brother, shut up! Go out and see what's going on first!" Liu Bei said with an ashen face.
Liu Bei's commanding officer is at the top, but his soldiers are at the bottom. In a short time, most of the 50,000 soldiers have been soaked, and the rest have basically lost their combat effectiveness, and they are all salvaging personnel!
"Where does the water come from?" Guan Yu asked, suppressing his murderous intent.
"Behind the camp!" Mi Zhu said
"later?"
"That's right! It should be a culvert in the city, but the place we chose to camp is a bit..." Before Mi Zhu could finish his words, he secretly looked at Liu Bei and swallowed his words automatically. After all, this place was chosen by Liu Bei himself!
"Damn Ji Ling!" Zhang Fei also lost his temper and was accidentally injured. At this moment, suddenly Lu Bujun was also in chaos, and the men and horses fell into pieces, which made Liu Bei and others smile bitterly! It seems that God is quite fair, but I am a little speechless about my and Lu Bu's luck!
"Order the soldiers to evacuate immediately and protect your weapons and food. We cannot let these things fall into the hands of the enemy!" Liu Bei's voice had a hint of determination. He knew that he must remain calm at this moment.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei acted quickly, commanding the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner while protecting important supplies. There was chaos in the camp, but the orders of the three men were effectively implemented.
Soon, the water began to gradually weaken, but the direction of Shouchun City was still a mess. Liu Bei looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and couldn't help but sigh. He knew that although there were heavy losses in this battle, it was only a matter of time before Shouchun City fell. He must adjust his strategy as soon as possible to remain competitive in this war.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Guan Yu asked.
Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Send the order and let the entire army be prepared. Once Shouchun City is completely lost, we will immediately launch a general attack. At the same time, send an envoy to Lu Bu's camp to inform him of our plan and let him prepare it." Cooperate."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, then turned and left, getting busy. Liu Bei looked at their backs and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this war would have a successful outcome.
At Cao Jun's camp, Yu Jin looked in the direction of Shouchun City with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that this water attack had achieved the desired effect. As long as Shouchun City is broken, the entire Yuan Shu's power will collapse.
"General, we should attack as soon as possible and pursue the victory." Cao Chun suggested.
Yu Jin waved his hand: "No rush, now is not the time. Although Shouchun City has been destroyed, Yuan Shu's power has not completely collapsed. We have to wait patiently and wait for Liu Bei and Lu Bu's actions."
Although Cao Chun was a little confused, he still obeyed the order. He knew that Yu Jin's military tactics were always unpredictable, and he believed that he would have a good strategy.
At this time, Ji Ling in Shouchun City was also making arrangements nervously. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the city would fall, but he was determined to delay as much time as possible to prepare for a counterattack.
"General, we should evacuate as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy." Yan Xiang suggested.
Ji Ling glared at him: "Why panic? We still have three tunnels. As long as we make good use of them, it is possible to turn defeat into victory. Send the order and let the soldiers hold their positions and wait for the opportunity."
Yan Xiang took the order and left, but he couldn't help but feel worried. But he knew that he could only rely on Ji Ling at this time, hoping that things would turn around.
Ji Ling felt terrible in his heart. He retreated. This was already the outer city of Shouchun. If he retreated further, he would reach the inner city. Once he reached the inner city, even if he was beaten, this group of tiger and wolf warriors would not tear Yuan Jun into pieces. fragments. Watching the movements of Cao's army from a distance, Ji Ling could only do his best to maintain the morale of the city. The flood was not only an obstacle to Yuan's army, but also an obstacle to the enemy's army. The only difference was that the damage to the city wall was irreversible!
"Send people into the city and look at the entrance to the secret passage. Liu Bei will definitely send people to kill them from inside. He must keep all his people in the secret passage!" Ji Ling calmly ordered the soldiers. Although his words were not high-pitched, There was even a trace of haggardness, but the murderous intent contained in it made the surrounding soldiers shudder. They knew that their general had murderous intentions!
Three days go by in a blink of an eye! "Kill!" Lu Bu's face was indifferent and full of murderous intent. He didn't have many troops in the first place. It was acceptable to have fewer people when the flood came, but the food and grass were even more scarce. Fortunately, Gao Shun fell into the camp. Yes, otherwise Lu Bu would have to go back home. They are about to attack. With such a move, Lu Bu has murderous intentions towards Cao Jun!
"Here!" Gao Shun took the order directly!
There were four major military merits in ancient battlefields, namely, beheading generals, capturing flags, trapping battles, and being the first to get there! Among them, climbing first is the most important. As the name suggests, climbing first means climbing the city wall first! Gao Shun's trap usually involves going deep into the enemy's camp, fighting alone, tearing apart the opposite side's defenses, and opening the way to victory for the army, or else it plays a role in blocking the rear. However, Gao Shun is confident that his soldiers can not only trap, but also Yes, you can board first!
"Attack!" There were a thousand people trapped in the camp, with murderous intent like a rainbow. There was no trace of warmth on their cold faces. Gao Shun held a spear and personally led the team. Lu Bu then pressed the formation and moved forward slowly. The speed was not fast, but he was killing. The atmosphere overwhelmed the sound of running water!
"Attack!" Liu Bei swung his two swords and led Zhang Fei to kill him, approaching the Shouchun city wall!
Cao Chun and Xia Houdun's army also slowly pressed forward. Although there was still some water, most places could already use troops. The coalition forces were like wolves and tigers, shaking the Shouchun city gate for a while!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The brave man wins when we meet on a narrow road. The siege battle is a battle of real swords and guns. There is no trickery at all. Before long, there is a thick layer of corpses under the city wall. This is still in the flood. With help, Yuan Jun suffered a lot of material losses, and a section of the city wall collapsed, otherwise there would be more casualties!
"The ambition to be trapped is life or death! If you are trapped in the camp, rush in with me!" Gao Shun rushed to the gap and killed him directly in one breath! With a swing of the sword in his hand, Yuan Jun's heads flew up all around, and corpses fell one after another!
"You bastard! Send two thousand more people over and hold them back!" Ji Ling frowned and said with murderous intent.
"Okay! Fight in!" Lu Bu laughed, holding the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand, and was already looking for a place to attack. Because he showed off the shaft gate shooting halberd, Ji Ling increased his protection by several levels, allowing Lu Bu to There is no chance to kill Ji Ling's good head!
"My lord, you don't have to risk your bows and arrows yourself, you still need to guard against Cao Liu!" Seeing that Lu Bu was about to attack, Chen Gong quickly stopped him. He had to grab food and grass at this moment. If everyone was left here, wouldn't it be easy for Xuzhou? Lord?
"Thank you, Gongtai, for reminding me!" Lu Bu said with a smile. He glanced at Liu Beijun on the way, but didn't see Guan Yu. He frowned involuntarily, feeling a little bad.
"Have you ever seen Guan Yunchang?" Lu Bu asked with some confusion. As Liu Bei's number one general, he didn't show up at this critical moment. This is very abnormal!
"No, I'm worried now that Liu Bei and Cao Cao are colluding to attack Shouchun, which can be taken at any time. Xuzhou is their ultimate goal!" Chen Gong sneered.
"Please sir, teach me!" Lu Bu said quickly
"Marquis Wen, don't worry too much. They won't take action until Yuan Shu is destroyed. If they dare to take action now, I think we have a chance to eat Cao Cao's troops!" Chen Gong laughed.
"How is this possible? Liu Bei won't watch Cao Cao fail, right?" Lu Bu didn't understand. Charging into battle is Lu Bu's strong point, especially cavalry. At this time, Lu Bu can be said to be the number one cavalry general, but using his brain is not the best thing. , Lu Bu is not as good as Zhang Fei!
"After conquering Shouchun, Liu Bei will have a place, soldiers and food. Isn't it normal to form an alliance with us and eat Cao Cao's troops? Occupy Huainan, join the Sun family in the east, and join Jingzhou in the west. Liu Bei can attack or retreat Guard, as long as I'm in Xuzhou, Cao Cao won't dare to take Huainan even if he wants to take it!" Chen Gong has already anticipated the next battle. It depends on how long Ji Ling can delay it. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for Cao Cao. After all, Hebei There is also Yuan Shaochengfeng!
"Then how are you sure that Liu Bei won Huainan? Why can't we win Yuan Shu!" Lu Bu frowned.
"If we take Huainan, we will become the next Yuan Shu!"
"Hiss!" Lu Bu took a breath of cold water. This was a good thing. After all, the people in Huainan's circle didn't have a good relationship with him. Pointing at his eight top generals, Lu Bu didn't feel confident at all!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Cao's army under Yu Jin's command began to show off its power, attacking Shouchun City in waves! Shouchun seemed to be in danger, but he didn't attack. No matter how many people came, Ji Ling could always block it!
"Damn! I can't use my tiger and leopard cavalry!" Cao Chun punched himself bitterly. His cavalry was completely useless!
"Haha! Don't be anxious, young general. In three days, please lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to Xuzhou and cut off Lu Bu and Liu Bei's retreat!" Yu Jin's eyes sparkled.
"Hiss!" Hearing this, Cao Chun was shocked and admired Jin's strategy even more. This Yu Jin had a big appetite. Not only did he want Huainan, but he also wanted to capture Xuzhou. This directly quadrupled Boss Cao's territory. "I will obey your orders!" Cao Chun said excitedly
"I hope Ji Ling can hold on a little longer to consume Liu Bei's morale!" Yu Jin said with a smile.
"Haha! The general's clever plan will definitely accomplish his task in one battle!"
"Our army has a total of 150,000 troops. It's time to show off. If we can capture Huainan, we will rush in first to seize the food and grass. If not, we will remember the secret route, burn the food and grass, and then march straight to Xuzhou!"
"promise!"
