SB3 seconds can remember [New Imagination Chinese Network] provides you with the latest and most complete novel reading.
Xun Shuang said that Wen Ruo is Zìjǐ's nephew Xun Yu, this person is twenty-three years old, but he is second only to Cao Cao in terms of popularity, and many states and counties have always wanted to recruit this Xun Yu as a zìjǐ staff, but Xun Yu refused.
Xun Yu naturally also paid attention to Gao Yi, who is now gaining prestige, in fact, Xun Yu attacked Wancheng for the military division, Xun Yu also knew, although Xun Yu was eight years older than Xun Yu, his generation was younger than Xun Yu's generation, if he wanted to call Xun Yu uncle, his nephew beat Gao Yi, and his uncle wanted to vote for Gao Yi, which is really interesting to say.
Tian Feng didn't agree or refuse Xun Shuang's suggestion, he just looked at the gray sky in the south, and said faintly: "The current rain in Wancheng must be not small, right?"
As Tian Feng expected, Wancheng, five hundred miles south of Luoyang, is indeed raining heavily at the moment, and it has never rained so much in many Wancheng people, and even many elderly people say that the last time it rained so heavily in Wancheng was five hundred years ago.
"With such a heavy rain, Wancheng is located in a low place, so it must inevitably be flooded, right?" Ten miles east of Wancheng, Liu Biao, who had re-stationed the barracks, looked at Xun You and said.
Xun You was born with a mediocre appearance, not even as handsome as his uncle Xun Shuang, the handsome genes of the Xun family do not seem to have been inherited in him, but the strategy and tactics have been inherited excellently, the siege of Wancheng, the strategy is from the hands of Xun You, except for the east gate, the other three doors seem to have the upper hand of the defenders, but Xun You, who is familiar with military books, knows that the other party has no ability to continue fighting.
"That's right, the men and horses in charge of breaking the embankment are already in place, and the defenders in the city don't seem to realize that zìjǐ is about to be in danger, and by the time they react, they will probably have lost their lives!"
Xun You said slowly, and then looked at Liu Biao, "Wang Rui is not a person who can afford the heavy responsibility of Jingzhou's assassination, as early as Luoyang, I expected his end, and Hanshou also reported that Wang Rui was killed by Sun Jian, just as the general promised Jingsheng, if he took Nanyang safely, he would entrust Jingzhou to Jingsheng, I hope Jingsheng will cherish this opportunity!"
Liu Biao smiled helplessly: "Gongda, don't look for me to be happy, the general is just joking for a while, who can guarantee that my position as the assassin of Jingzhou is not hot, and I will be attacked from all sides?"
"You, you, you, do you want to make a bet with me?" Although Xun You is more than ten years old with Liu Biao, he and Liu Biao are excellent chess friends, and the two of them will kill a game of Go.
"No, no, no, I haven't thought of a countermeasure to the endgame a few days ago, don't I want to die when I bet with you, a Go master?" Liu Biao waved his hand again and again, looking at the way he and Xun You pulled and pulled, it was hard for others to believe that it was these two people who put Wancheng in danger.
A member of the tent hurriedly entered, and although he was wearing a hat, his body was almost soaked, and his clothes were clinging to his body, which showed that the rain was heavy outside at the moment.
"What's the matter?" Liu Biao and Xun You put away their jokes, looked at the herald, and asked seriously.
"The two lords of Qiqi, there is a team of about 2,000 people, breaking through the blockade of our army at the east gate and heading straight for the river embankment!"
Liu Biao was taken aback, glanced at Xun You, and asked the herald again: "Two thousand people, there is still such combat power at this moment, could it be Sun Jian?"
The herald nodded: "It's this person, please make a quick decision between the two adults!"
Xun You smiled leisurely and said: "What a Sun Jian, he will really choose the right time to send troops, he saw our soldiers and horses retreating, he must have expected that we would attack with water, so he planned to strike first!
"Now is not the time to admire our opponents! We only have more than 1,000 people in Heti, which is far from enough to fight against Sun Jian's men. Liu Biao waved his hand, "Quickly increase the number of people, be sure not to let Sun Jian approach before the embankment breaks!"
The herald said: "Please also make it clear that there are no idle people here, to whom should the order be given?"
Liu Biao thought for a while and said: "The 3,000 people who supervised the construction of boats in the northeast direction were dispatched 2,000 people, and the 2,000 people who guarded the granary in the southwest direction were also transferred 1,000 people, and 4,000 people were sent out to fight the enemy.
"Wow!" the herald didn't want to take the hat with him, and was about to leave.
"Slow!" Xun You stopped the herald and turned to Liu Biao, "This is not appropriate, what if the boats and granaries are burned down by the enemy?
Liu Biao laughed out loud: "Gongda is confused, now that the rain is so heavy, he can't even light the firewood for cooking, how can the enemy use the fire meter!"
Xun You also smiled self-deprecatingly: "Hehe, it's me who is too worried!"
Liu Biao said: "Even so, we still have to strictly prevent people from all walks of life from slacking off, if this is broken out by the enemy, it will be wasted!"
At this moment, outside the east gate of Wancheng, Sun Jian led the men and horses to attack in front of Heti, and sure enough, he saw a group of men and horses digging Heti with shovels, he yelled badly, and shouted to the zìjǐ people: "Hurry up the march, don't let the enemy army succeed, Wancheng has been flooded once, and it can't be flooded a second time!"
"Rush!" Sun Jian's men and horses each danced their weapons in their hands, marching towards the river, this time last year, they were also with Sun Jian at this embankment, different from now, when it was to dig the embankment to flood the Yellow Turban thieves in Wancheng, today, they want to stop the enemy army from flooding Wancheng for the friendly troops of Wancheng with their fists.
Fate is really hard to tell.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly, a net of arrows shot towards Sun Jian's army from the east and west without warning, and several cavalrymen who rushed to the front were caught off guard, and they were shot off their horses one after another, and trampled into a piece of meat sauce.
"It's not good, there are ambush soldiers!" Sun Jian roared, pulled out the ancient ingot knife, and with two sonorous sounds, separated a few flying arrows, regretting that he was too chōngdòng, and did not send scouts to investigate whether there were ambushes in advance.
Now Sun Jian can temporarily withdraw his troops, and after clearing the ambushes on both sides, he will gather men and horses to prevent the enemy from breaking the embankment.
But time waits for no one.
"Listen, everyone, don't stop, hurry up, and quickly rush to the river embankment!" Sun Jian pointed ahead and said loudly.
"Wow!" how did everyone not know Sun Jian's thoughts, at this time and that time, even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they would go with Sun Jian!
Arrows came one after another, and although Sun Jianjun kept people falling, no one stopped.
After a while, the corpses of hundreds of Sun Jianjun's people were lying on the ground.
"Is this Sun Jian a fool? Rushing forward even though he knew there was an ambush?" a few soldiers discussed.
"This is the power of this Sun Jian, he will never hesitate to do things, and he will know that there is a death in front of him!" A pawn uncle put an arrow on zìjǐ's bow as he spoke, and said to those stunned guys, "What are you doing in a daze, shoot quickly!"
"Shoot, shoot this group of people who don't want to die!" The ambush soldiers continued to wind up their arrows, but when they tried to collect Sun Jianjun's head again, the other party was gone.
Sun Jian led his troops to the embankment, and he didn't have time to count the casualties, so he immediately began a fierce attack on the enemy troops who were breaking the embankment.
"Rush!" Sun Jian didn't think about it, and rushed towards this small phalanx of only a few hundred people with more than a thousand people, who were very good at choosing a defensive position, it was a narrow road, impassable on the left and right, although it was not enough to call it a man, but it was more than enough to be ten.
After a rush to kill, Sun Jian not only did not break through this small phalanx, but also killed and injured hundreds of people, while the other party's casualties were only dozens.
"Damn, when did Liu Biao become so powerful and train such a strong team?" In Sun Jian's jìyì, Liu Biao, like Lu Zhi Cai Yong Kongrong, was a scribe who could only do learning, and now his soldiers' combat effectiveness was so powerful, which was really impressive.
But now there is no time to hesitate, if you delay here for a moment, Wancheng will be more dangerous, and those ambushes before will also outflank you at any time, if they are flanked by the front and back, these children of Sun Jian are afraid that they will be wiped out like they are in Xiliang.
"Charge again, I will personally take the lead!" Sun Jian raised his ancient ingot knife, rode his horse to the front of the soldiers, and boosted morale, "If I can't break through this phalanx, I, Sun Wentai, am willing to live and die with all the kings!"
The soldiers were shocked by Sun Jian's pride, and Huang Gai also rode over, holding an iron whip and shouting: "If you don't break the enemy formation, you swear not to survive!"
"If you don't break the enemy's formation, you won't survive!" all the troops responded in unison.
"Rush!"
Sun Jianjun, who has a rainbow of morale, is very different from the last charge this time, there are Sun Jian and Huang Gai fighting with their heads, the two of them are swords and whips, breaking into the enemy formation, and the killing can be described as hearty, and Sun Jian's men and horses are also competing for the lead, but in a quarter of an hour's effort, the phalanx of hundreds of people was really broken through, and the enemy corpses were lying on the ground, and Sun Jian's men and horses only lost dozens of people.
However, Sun Jian was not in the mood to be happy, because he saw two teams of men and horses appearing in the northeast and southeast directions, and it seemed that there were no less than 3,000 people!
As for the ambush soldiers in the rear, they also cut off Sun Jianjun's retreat.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that the hundreds of shovel troops in front have completed the destruction of the river embankment, dug a big hole, and the rolling water broke through the breach, rushing towards Wancheng with the momentum of destroying the sky and the earth.
"Or, can't you, stop it?" Sun Jian looked at this yīqiē, and the whole person was stunned, forgetting to order zìjǐ's men and horses to avoid the torrent, if it weren't for Huang Gai's quick hand to pull Sun Jian to a high place, he was afraid that Sun Jian would be washed away by the water without a trace.
"Brother Gao, my Sun Wentai can't stand you!" Sun Jian involuntarily knelt down in the direction of Wancheng, his voice extremely sad.
