Chapter 916 [Despair]
At this time, a wet man walked in from outside the tent, hugged his fists and said: "General Qiyu, there are traces of the Wei army in the area of Xu County, it is reported that it is Xiahou Yuan, the general of the Wei army." β
Zhang Liao's calm heart suddenly made a wave, closed Sun Tzu's Art of War, and hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there?" β
"About 2,000 people, it seems that they are protecting the family of Cao Cao, the king of Wei, and the family has already traveled to Xu County, and the county order of Xu County, which has surrendered, has rebelled again, welcoming Xiahou Yuan into the county seat of Xu County."
Zhang Liao said: "I know, you go down first, and order your scouts to closely monitor the movements of Xiahou Yuan and his party in Xu County." β
"Doesn't the general take his troops to rob and kill them?"
"At this time, it has entered the rainy season, and it is a cloudy day, and the next heavy rain has been carried out every few days in a row, and the ground has never dried up, which is not conducive to marching and fighting. I expect that Xiahou Yuan will inevitably come towards Yangzhai, Yangzhai is an important town of the Wei army, and there is a lot of grain and grass in the city, once our army is close and far, the Yingchuan counties may rebel again in response to Xiahou Yuan's arrival. I am free to attack Yingchuan's idea, and you will follow my instructions to inform the battalions and take strict precautions. β
"No!"
After Zhang Liao saw that person was gone, he opened Sun Tzu's Art of War again and read it carefully, but a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly thought: "Xiahou Yuan, you came at the right time, I, Zhang Liao, want to use your head to sacrifice the flag!" β
β¦β¦
"My lord, the envoy sent by King Wu asks to see you!"
Lin Nan was looking at the map in the wooden house, and when he heard the shouts of the soldiers outside the door, he first let out an "oh" in surprise, and then said, "Pass him in." β
A short time later, a man dressed in a cloak and a hat walked in from outside the door, and as soon as the man entered the room. So he took off his hat and coat and put them by the door. He was dressed in a very ordinary outfit, with his trouser legs rolled up to his knees, and a pair of straw sandals, which were still covered in mud, after he entered the door. He just stood there, didn't move again, but took the initiative to take off his straw sandals and took two steps forward barefoot.
He bowed deeply towards Lin Nan and arched his hand: "Foreign Minister Kan Ze, see His Royal Highness King Yan." β
"Oh, I have demoted myself by one level, and now I am Yan Hou, and Yan Wang is already in the past tense. You are Kan Ze. Kan Derun? Lin Nan asked with a smile when he heard someone report his home.
"It's just Bucai, I didn't expect Yan Hou to have heard the name of Bucai, Bucai is really flattered."
Kan Ze is a stranger to Lin Nan, during the Battle of Chibi, he was the one who carried the Huang Gai Fraud Surrender Book, and it was because of him. was able to deceive Cao Cao, and it was a great contribution to the Battle of Chibi.
Merely. Today's Kan Ze looks very young, Wu Guoshi is the majority, Kan Ze is considered a first-class one, although his talent is not as good as Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and other generations, but it also has its advantages. This person has the ability to never forget, and he has a good eloquence. Sun Jian chose him as an envoy, and he really chose the right person.
Lin Nan asked: "You came here from Wu Kingdom, you must have an extremely important mission, I don't know what Brother Wu asked you to come to me for, do you miss me?" β
Kan Ze replied: "King Wu really misses Yan Hou very much. Last time, Yan Hou hurriedly said goodbye from Wu State, and King Wu felt a little sluggish, so he also had the heart to invite Yan Hou to Wu again, and he would be accompanied by King Wu in person. However, the foreign minister's visit this time was entrusted by King Wu to handle an extremely important matter. β
"What's the matter?"
Kan Ze said slowly: "First, Sun Ce, the eldest prince of Wu, brought Zhou Tai and Lu Su to Yuan a few days ago, and it is reported that he is in the camp of Yanhou. Now King Wu wants to use troops against Shanyue, so he specially asked the foreign minister to take the eldest prince back to Wu and replace King Wu to guard Jianye. Second, King Wu had a letter to hand over to Yan Hou, asking Yan Hou to reply to it. β
As he spoke, Kan Ze took out a letter wrapped in sheepskin from his bosom and handed it to Lin Nan.
After Lin Nan took the letter, he saw that the letter was spotless and not wet by the rain at all, so he knew how good Kan Ze's collection was. After he took the letter, he opened it and read it, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Kan, please sit down, and we will talk in detail slowly." β
When Kan Ze sat down, Lin Nan opened his mouth and asked, "This letter was written by King Wu himself?" β
"Yan Hou and King Wu are like brothers, they are like brothers, can't they even tell if it is written by King Wu himself? This letter was indeed written by King Wu himself, and the ministers kept it personally, and the road was never opened. β
"Well, well, you go back and tell King Wu, this letter will be replied after the battle between me and Cao Cao is over. In addition, Sun Ce, the Grand Duke of your country, had already left our army half a month ago, and he left quietly, without even leaving a word, and the entire Yan army can testify to this matter. According to the time estimate, Sun Ce should have already arrived in the territory of Wu State, why are you still looking for me to ask for someone? Lin Nan really couldn't figure out what Sun Jian thought, and he read the letter, which said to let him and Cao Cao stop fighting and not kill each other. However, the water that was spilled could never be recovered, and his purpose was not to occupy the original vow and not give up.
Kan Ze looked at Lin Nan in surprise and asked, "What does Yanhou mean that the eldest prince has already left Yuan?" β
"Exactly."
"But...... But the eldest prince has not returned to Wu State......" Kan Ze said.
"Then it has nothing to do with me, he is not my son, not to mention that his feet are on his legs, where he is going, how do I know?" Lam Nam Road.
"Yan Hou, can you look for the friendship with King Wu and send someone around to find the eldest prince? No matter what, the eldest prince is also the younger generation of Yan Hou, and Yan Hou, as an elder, has the obligation to take care of the eldest prince......" Kan Ze said.
Lin Nan stared at Kan Ze, with a hint of displeasure on his face, and said sarcastically: "Mr. Kan is complaining about me when he talks like this, isn't he?" Blame me for not being optimistic about Sun Ce, right? β
Kan Ze's face was cold, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Kan Ze doesn't dare, Kan Ze has no such intention, please don't misunderstand Yanhou." The foreign minister means ......"
"You don't need to say more, I think I know what you mean. If Sun Ce really didn't return to Wu Kingdom, even if you didn't say it, as his uncle, I would send someone out to find it. Come on, give Bian Xixin and let him do it within three days. Even if you dig the entire original three feet into the ground, you have to find out Sun Ce for me! Lin Nan directly interrupted Kan Ze's words, and then shouted at the soldiers outside the door.
After the soldier received the order, he went to deliver the news to Bian Xi.
Kan Ze knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, listening to Lin Nan send Bian Xi to find Sun Ce. That's when I was relieved. Although Kan Ze is young, he is still very clear about the current situation, and Bian Xi's name makes him no stranger.
Two years ago, the Marquis of Jin LΓΌ Bu was besieged by the world's heroes and defeated Yique Pass, and since then, the world has been divided into seven.
Yanhou Linnan, Zhanyou, and, Hebei and Qingzhou parts. According to the north of the Yellow River, he took the lead in claiming the king, first trampled on the imperial power of the Han Dynasty under his feet, and was condemned by the Lianghou Ma Teng at that time. It's just that Lin Nan's prestige in the hearts of the people of Jizhou is extremely high, and the other princes have their own ghosts, and they all want to advance to the king and achieve the overlord of one side, so it has not affected him.
Subsequently, in just a few months. Liu Bei replaced Liu Biao as the lord of Jingzhou, and Cao Cao and Sun Jian jointly attacked the Song Dynasty. And the territory of the Song Marquis Yuan Shu was divided, and after that, the world was divided into six parts, and the princes set themselves up as kings after Lin Nan became king for half a year.
Even Ma Teng's father and son, who were in Liangzhou and Guan, were not far behind, forcing the Han Emperor at that time to be crowned a prince. Subsequently, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang's subordinates jointly went to the Chang'an court. asked to be promoted to the king, and finally got what he wanted.
Therefore, the six countries of the world stand side by side, which means that the world of the Han Dynasty has been completely divided.
Subsequently, the Yan army chased Xianbei to the north. Completely drove the Xianbei people out of the territory and occupied most of the grasslands, even Dongyi's husband Yu felt the strength of the Yan army and took the initiative to pay tribute to it. The border troubles that had not been resolved for a long time since the Han Dynasty were solved by the Yan army, because the other five countries believed that the military strength of the Yan army was the highest among the six countries.
In addition, what makes the other five countries even more troublesome is that the Yan army has a very powerful scout army, and often some news of their own country spreads to the Yan country without knowing it, which makes the other five countries very disgusted, and it is not clear how many scouts the Yan army has.
The most typical time was when Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, celebrated his birthday, and a person who claimed to be an envoy of the Yan State suddenly appeared on the streets of Chengdu with a large number of gifts as a congratulatory gift to Liu Zhang. After the birthday, when everyone went to look for this person again, they searched the entire city of Chengdu and found no trace. Later, it took a long, long time for the Shu army to find the answer, and it turned out to be a scout of the Yan Kingdom.
An ordinary scout has such ability, not to mention its leader Bian Xi. Therefore, as the leader of the entire Yan Army scout, Bian Xi's name has spread far and wide with the strength of the Yan Army.
Lin Nan looked at Kan Ze who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Kan Ze: "You get up, rest in our army for the time being, wait for three days with peace of mind, and after three days, I will definitely give you an answer." β
Kan Ze said "Nuo", and went out directly and followed Lin Nan's personal soldiers.
Seeing that Kan Ze was gone, Lin Nan hurriedly called in a pro-soldier from outside, and said to the pro-soldier: "You can send a message to Bian Xi Feige again, tell Bian Xi, once you find Sun Ce's whereabouts, take the lead in informing me, and then pay close attention, don't startle the snake." β
"No!"
Lin Nan stood up straight, put on his robe, put on his hat, and went out.
It rained heavily outside the door, Lin Nan walked to the edge of the entire forest, picked up the telescope and looked out, but saw that the water under the high slope was very deep, as long as it was a slightly low-lying place, it had already formed a country.
Putting down the binoculars, Lin Nan secretly thought: "If there is a heavy rainstorm tonight, it is estimated that it will be flooded tomorrow." β
As if he saw a kind of hope, a hope for a soldier who would surrender without a fight, he turned around, and let the soldier bring the dark cloud to the snowy horse, turned over the horse, grabbed the reins, and galloped down the high slope with a loud shout.
The clouds were flying on all fours, and although they were walking on the muddy road, they did not affect him in the slightest. By the time it descended the high slope, the water had reached the joints of its hooves, and it let out a long hiss, which met the lightning and thunder, mixed with the violent storm, and began to walk like a fly in the water.
After running for nearly three miles, the dark clouds stepped on the snow horse and carried Lin Nan up a high slope.
There was a large dense forest on the high slope, and the soldiers of the Yan army wore hats and robes to guard the outermost side, and when they saw Lin Nan coming, they hurriedly made way of a road.
Lin Nan rode the dark cloud on the snow horse, and after passing through a small forest on the periphery, his eyes suddenly opened up. Directly in front of me was a huge clearing, and all the trees that should have grown here had been cut down, and a very spacious greenhouse had been built, and the leaves covered it with roots and used as pillars. Thousands of soldiers toiled under many of these sheds to build a small search boat.
"Gan Xingba!"
Gan Ning was cutting off a tree with a saw, when he suddenly heard a shout, he turned his head to look over, but when he saw that Lin Nan was here alone, he hurriedly left the work at hand. The temporary arrangement was given to a soldier, and he ran towards Lin Nan's side and asked, "Lord, why did you come here?" β
Lin Nan looked around and saw that most of the boats built were light boats, each of which could carry up to ten people, so he said, "I'll see how you're doing here, because I estimate that these boats will come in handy tomorrow." And I have prepared a small water army for you, and once Guo Jia releases water upstream tomorrow, you can show your skills. β
Gan Ning said with his hands on his hands: "Great, it's a pity that there is no big river here, otherwise, once our navy drives in, not to mention a small Chen Liu, even if it is the entire Yuan." We can take them all, too. β
Lin Nan smiled: "Don't worry, this battle." I have prepared a thousand of you who are better at water, and when the time comes, you will take them as the vanguard, and you must win the first battle, only in this way will the army behind you attack more fiercely. After the destruction of Wei, the next target is Jingzhou. That's where you come in, and you should treat these battles as petty fights. β
"No!"
Afterwards, Gan Ning took Lin Nan around this secret and humble shipyard, pointed to the finished products that had been made, and said happily: "My lord." At present, a hundred ships have been prepared, and according to the calculation that each ship can carry ten people, it is exactly a thousand. However, in order to facilitate the lord's command on the water, his subordinates are already rushing to build a larger ship, which can carry 300 people at a time, and the rest are still stepping up to speed up the production of light boats, striving to carry more soldiers to fight when the war begins tomorrow. β
Lin Nan was very satisfied, patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said, "Water is your world, I don't know water warfare." This battle is under your full command, I will only watch the battle from behind, as long as you take Chen Liucheng and capture Cao Cao, you will be the first merit. β
Gan Ning said excitedly: "My subordinates, thank you for your love. β
Since Gan Ning defected to Lin Nan, like Chou, although he was ranked among the Five Tigers, he was ostracized, Chou went to Saiwai to be responsible for the construction of Baotou City, while Gan Ning was sent by Lin Nan to Shangjing, responsible for building various large and small warships, as well as training the navy.
At present, although Lin Nan's account is full of talents, many ministers and generals, and the territory is also the largest, the foundation is not as stable as in Liaodong. In addition to Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and the northern part of Qingzhou are relatively weak links in Lin Nan's rule, if it weren't for Lin Nan's exemption from taxes for three years outside Youzhou, I am afraid that the local people would flee elsewhere.
In his bureaucratic system, there are those who have followed him from the beginning, and there are those who have surrendered later, and those who have surrendered are also divided into several factions, although there is nothing on the surface, but secretly there are more or less intrigues. It's just that such a thing is not too obvious.
Lin Nan followed Gan Ning to inspect the soldiers who built the ship one after another, and said some impassioned words before leaving the place.
Before dawn the next day, Lin Nan faintly heard the sound of a huge stream of water in his sleep, hurriedly jumped out of bed, and asked loudly, "What is the sound outside?" β
"Lord...... It's the flood...... The flood is coming......"
Lin Nan hurriedly draped his whole body, picked up the sword, and walked out of the room, as soon as he went out, he stepped into the stagnant water, he was shocked, and said to himself: "The high slope here is more than ten meters high, and the flood can actually flood here, then Chen Liucheng must be an ocean......
Holding back his joy, Lin Nan hurriedly ran to the edge of the high slope, and saw Gan Ning slowly coming in a big boat, surrounded by more than a hundred small boats, heading towards Chen Liu.
"My lord, please get on board!" Xun You hurriedly ran over from behind, and when he saw Lin Nan, he said to Lin Nan.
Lin Nanhu said suspiciously: "Where did the ship come from?" β
Xun You said: "General Gan Ning personally built it for the lord, and he just arrived, and it was on the north side. β
Lin Nan followed Xun Yu and came directly to the north side, and sure enough, he saw a large ship that could accommodate three hundred soldiers docked there, and Zhao Yun, Hire, Wei Yan, Chu Yan and others were all standing on the boat, waiting for Lin Nan's arrival.
Lin Nan got on the boat, and with joy, shouted loudly: "Open the boat!" β
At the sound of an order, this big ship carried Lin Nan and the well-known generals of the Yan army. Riding the wind and waves, following the current, he drove towards Chen Liucheng......
There was still a light rain in the sky, and the rain was falling, and the entire Chen Liucheng was surrounded by an ocean!
Chen stayed in the city. The people climbed to the roof, the city wall was full of Wei soldiers, and the sudden flood brought a lot of disasters to the soldiers and people in Chenliu City.
Although the city wall blocked the momentum of the flood, it could not prevent the flood from flowing into Chenliu City, and in just a short time, Chenliu had become a veritable water city.
Cao Mengde stood on the city wall, looking at the floods inside and outside the city, the surging flood came fiercely from the direction of Junyi County, and there were cries and shouts in the city. There were a mess of objects floating on the water, and some bodies drowned in the water, and the people were standing on the roofs in misery.
"Boom!"
A loud bang sounded from inside the city, and a small two-story building in the Taishou Mansion suddenly collapsed, and the servants, slaves and maids who were standing on the small building all fell into the water, shouting loudly and struggling. But no one could save them, except for one or two who clung to a floating wooden pillar and survived. The rest all sank to the bottom after a while, and it took a long time for them to surface.
"King! Yan Jun...... It's Yan Jun......"
When Cao Mengde heard this, he immediately turned around, but saw a light warship sailing out of the level level with the city wall, and on the light boat, ten Yan soldiers wearing armor and armor swooped down quickly along the water with wooden shields and various steel blades. In the center of the water level, a large ship sailed into everyone's sight surrounded by many small boats, and a general stood at the bow of the ship, with a high-spirited face.
As soon as the Yan army appeared, the Wei army fell into a panic. The soldiers standing on the city wall did not know how to deal with it. When the flood came, they only cared about fleeing for their lives, and climbed the city wall one after another, forgetting to carry their blades, and at this time they saw the Yan army attacking by boat, and the momentum was huge, and the follow-up ships continued to come.
"King, this time we made a mistake, I thought that this heavy rain could delay the attack of the Yan army, but I didn't expect it to be used by the Yan army." When Xu Shu saw such a scene, his heart felt a kind of depression that the general trend had gone, his ambition could not be realized, he was unwilling, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly.
Cao Mengde looked around at the panicked soldiers, Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Li Tong, Han Hao, Shi Lian, Ji and other generals all had a blue face, Xu Shu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Mao Jue, Man Chong, Dong Zhao, Ren Jun and others were all disappointed, he looked up at the hazy sky, looked at the rain clouds dripping down, and suddenly laughed.
The laughter caused the puzzlement of the people around them, and after looking at each other, they all said puzzledly: "The king...... Our incompetence has caused the king to be besieged today, and we are ashamed to ...... the king."
"If you come, you will be safe. Since Chen Liu's army to defeat Dong Zhuo, this king has experienced no less than a thousand battles, although he has also been defeated, but he has never been in today's difficulties. In just four years, the king's ups and downs are a passing cloud in this chaotic era, and the generals don't have to blame themselves, this day will kill me, not the crime of war! β
Cao Cao had already thought of a way out, if there was no sudden rainstorm, he hoped that the Yan army could attack Chenliu as much as possible, so that he could retreat while fighting, retreat to Yingchuan, enter Sili through Xuanyuan Pass, or take the troops to take advantage of the geographical advantages in Luoyang to confront the Yan army, or take the people of his headquarters to take refuge in Ma Teng, and temporarily compromise, in order to make a comeback.
However, it often backfired, and this flood blocked his way, cut off his retreat, and left him trapped in Chenliu, although there was an army of 40,000 people, but it was still useless.
He turned his head again and glanced at Chen Liucheng behind him, the city of 70,000 people, 30,000 soldiers are still in the flood, only one or two thousand of the 10,000 soldiers on the city wall are holding weapons, war horses are standing on the steps of the city wall, and some are still floating in the water.
"That's it, this king raised troops in Chenliu, and was defeated in Chenliu, it is really a success and Chen Liu, and a defeat is also Chen Liu, it seems that this is the final destination of this king. Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the most trustworthy courtiers of this king, however, this king has gone to the great momentum, there is no power to return to heaven, Yanhou Lin Nan is eloquent, cherish talents, after the death of this king, you can submit to him. He will definitely be able to become a world-famous minister and fierce general......"
"The ...... King" When all the soldiers heard Cao Cao's words, they all wept, and their hearts were even more sad and indignant.
Cao Cao didn't say anything more, just watched Gan Ning command the large and small warships approaching little by little, and said very unconvinced: "Thief God, I don't accept it...... I, Cao Cao, are known as the traitors of troubled times. Why did the capable minister who ruled the world end up like this? Thief, I hate you! β
Just when everyone in the Wei army was depressed and thought that they were powerless to return to the sky, many ships suddenly sailed against the current on the horizontal plane in the east direction, hundreds of large and small ships, a huge ship, the big flag of the word "Wei" fluttered mightily in the wind, and the person standing on the boat was Xun Yu.
"Reinforcements...... It's our reinforcements...... Reinforcements are coming......"
I don't know who was the first to see the fleet brought by Xun Yu first. He roared loudly and excitedly.
A shout, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, shocked everyone's hearts, making everyone's souls tremble, and the dejected expression just now disappeared when it landed, followed by an extremely strong desire to survive.
The situation reversed, and Cao Cao shouted: "Soldiers! There is no endless road. God bless me Da Wei and block the Yan army! β
Distance. Gan Ning, who was standing on the boat, suddenly saw a larger naval army than him going upstream, and when he saw Xun Yu standing on the boat, and the fishing boats followed by fishermen, he raised a smile on his face, and immediately waved a small flag. With a few swings, the fifty warships lined up on the left flank went forward to attack, while the rest of the army attacked Chenliu.
As soon as the battle was imminent, the soldiers on the small warships of the Yan army took out the crossbows they carried. Aiming at the dense array of soldiers standing on the city wall, they rushed along the current, and when they came into range, they began to pull the crossbows, and the powerful, dense locust-like arrows shot out towards the Chenliu city wall.
"Wow...... Ah......h
Most of the soldiers standing on the wall of Chenliu are unarmed soldiers, even if some have weapons, they are all close-quarter, when the flood comes, it is too late to escape, who cares about what weapons to get, at this time, these Wei troops are like live targets, standing there to be slaughtered.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, a small boat rushing to the front crashed directly into the city wall, and the stern of the ship was then crossed, and the soldiers on the ship began to attack the soldiers on the city wall with the blades of their hands, and the blood was poured into the flood, and it was immediately diluted and could not be found.
"Poof! Poof! Puff ......"
The Wei soldiers, who did not want to sit still, ran away one after another, squeezing out the soldiers who were standing elsewhere out of the water, and those soldiers who could not swim fell into the water and threw a few times, gulped down the water, and soon sank.
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, Xiahoudun raised a spear and shouted, passed through the gap where the soldier was slightly cracked, and stabbed at the soldier who was still standing on the boat.
The Yan soldiers instinctively raised Mu Dun to cover it, but Xia Hou Dun's shot was very strong, directly penetrating Mu Dun and stabbing into the Yan soldier's Ti.
Then, Xiahoudun did not hurry to pull out the spear, but held the tail of the spear vigorously, using the Yan soldier who was pierced by him, and began to sweep the entire ship, and in just a moment, he swept all the boatloads into the water.
Xiahoudun jumped into the boat, and shouted behind him: "Follow me if you are not afraid of death!" β
Han Hao and Shi Jian were Xiahoudun's old subordinates, and when they heard Xiahoudun's roar, they immediately jumped up, stepped on the shoulders of other soldiers and jumped up with strength, and jumped into the boat, and the rest of the soldiers holding weapons also jumped onto the boat, and immediately formed a line of defense.
However, Xiahoudun, Han Hao, Shi Jian and others didn't know how to water, and they were used to standing on land, and when they suddenly arrived on the boat, they all felt a shaking, they couldn't stand up straight, and the boat couldn't stand the toss. At this time, the soldiers of the Yan Army who fell into the navy surfaced, took the wooden escape as a boat, stood on the wooden escape, and became more convenient.
Xiahoudun, Han Hao, and Shi Jian couldn't wield their power at all, so they had no choice but to abandon the ship and go to the city wall. The soldiers of the Yan army jumped into the water again, dragging Mu Dun in one hand and the steel knife in the other, and slowly swam in other directions, avoiding the heavy and light, and continued to slash and kill the Wei soldiers who were easy to kill, or pull the Wei soldiers into the water.
At the same time, more and more ships approached the city walls, and the crossbows shot down batch after batch of soldiers, which annoyed the unarmed Wei soldiers, and finally a group of people who were not afraid of death jumped into the air. directly pounced on the attacking Yan soldiers, so they fell into the water one after another. Cao Ren and Cao Hong also began to snatch the boat, but as soon as these people got on the boat, they felt dizzy and had no choice but to abandon the ship.
Ganning stood on the boat. Seeing that the strong attack had achieved some results, he was not in a hurry to let the big ship dock, but ordered someone to turn the bow of the ship and personally went to meet the reinforcements brought by Xun Yu.
Xun Yu stood on the bow of the ship and saw that the Yan army and the navy had stirred up the Wei army, and there were still fifty fast boats coming, ten people per boat, a total of five hundred people, menacing. Unstoppable, he hurriedly shouted: "Fight!" β
With Xun Yu's order, the fleet quickly divided into two groups, and behind the big ship where Xun Yu was, dozens of small boats loaded with heavily armed soldiers rushed out, and the soldiers drew their bows and arrows one after another, and began to shoot at the Yan army fleet that sailed over.
Xun Yu's big boat and many fishing boats behind him all approached Chen Liucheng together, and he stood on the big boat. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the city wall, he hurriedly shouted to Cao Cao: "Great King...... If you come......"
Cao Cao felt very sudden about Xun Yu's arrival. Although Cao Chun, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Yu Ban had been sent to lead two thousand cavalry to carry Angelica to let Xun Yu return, but soon after the four generals went out, it began to rain heavily and the news was broken.
It is precisely because of this heavy rain that he does not have any hope for Xun Yu's return, thinking that Xun Yu will be blocked by this heavy rain.
Wait until the ship approaches the city walls. The soldiers quickly put down a wooden plank and put it on the city wall, Cao Cao got on the boat surrounded by the generals, and as soon as he got on the boat, Cao Cao excitedly shook Xun Yu's hand. Said: "If ah...... You're here just in time......"
Xun Yu hurriedly said: "The minister has made the king suffer......
While he was talking, Xu Shu got on the boat, and saw the boat that Gan Ning was on rushing towards this side, and hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, now the king is in danger, the top priority, you should do your best to get out of danger and take the king out of here!" β
Xun Yu came to his senses, wiped a handful of tears that had not yet flowed out of his eyes, and hurriedly ordered: "The left flank meets the enemy and blocks Gan Ning." β
At this moment, dozens of boats directly blocked Gan Ning's road, and a burst of arrows shot indiscriminately, temporarily suppressing Gan Ning and the people on board, however, the boat still went straight down the river and did not stop at all.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the boat Gan Ning was riding directly collided with several small boats blocking the way, and those small boats immediately overturned, and many soldiers fell into the water. Immediately afterwards, the ten boats behind were also like this, and the soldiers fell into the water one after another when they were swept away by Gan Ning's big boat. However, Gan Ning was also resisted, and collided with more than a dozen boats in a row, and the boats behind could no longer overturn, but awkwardly floated on the horizontal plane with other boats.
As soon as the two sides came to a standstill, the soldiers began to shoot at each other, and in a short distance, the Yan army's repeater crossbows were still quite lethal, and before the Wei soldiers could draw their bows and arrows, the crossbow arrows had already shot through their bodies and tumbled into the water.
Gan Ning also took out his repeater crossbow, and when he saw that Wei Jun was boarding the ship, he was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and shouted loudly: "Shoot quickly, rush over, you must not let Cao Cao escape!" β
Here, the fishing boat brought by Xun Yu also began to load soldiers, when he saw that Gan Ning was unstoppable, and the boat behind Gan Ning also sailed quickly, joining the battle, facing the Yan army's crossbows, the improvised water army was not vulnerable at all, and the soldiers were either shot to death, or fell into the water and struggled.
"Gan Ning is unstoppable, the Yan army and the navy have already prepared, our army is not an opponent, if it drags on like this, I am afraid that no one will be able to leave. Lord, please give the order to sail and get out of here first! Seeing this, Xu Shu said anxiously.
Cao Mengde turned around, glanced at the soldiers who had not yet waited for the boat, as well as the people who were surrounded by the water, and shouted loudly: "Open the boat!" β
At the sound of the order, the big ship quickly pulled out the plank, and several soldiers who were boarding the ship fell directly into the water, and those who had not had time to board the ship stood there dumbfounded.
The big ship began to turn around, and under the current, no one could stop it, and it went farther and farther.
"Oops, let Cao Cao run away!" Lin Nan, who had been on the boat, watched Cao Cao escape with a telescope, and said angrily, "What is Gan Ning doing to eat?" How could Cao Cao be allowed to run away? Tell me to go down, this ship will move forward, and chase after me! β
At the sound of an order, the flagship, which was originally floating behind the entire naval army, immediately moved forward, and when it encountered any obstacles along the way, all of them rushed over, and two ships of the Yan army also suffered.
"Give Gan Ning a signal, let him clean up the mess, and the rest of the people can't be run away anymore!" Although Lin Nan was angry, he also knew that Gan Ning had done his best, and the sudden appearance of Xun Yu's fleet was unexpected, so he could understand it.
On the city wall of Chen Liucheng, Shi Jian and Han Hao did not have time to get on the ship, and were still fighting with the soldiers of the Yan army close to the city wall, and the two of them were relieved to see Cao Cao gone.
"Come on!" Suddenly, Wang Wei jumped out of the water and cut off Shi Wei's leg with one knife, followed by another slash Han Hao, the two of them were caught off guard, and fell directly on the city wall, and were cut into meat sauce by the others brought by Wang Wei.
Wang Wei cut off the heads of Han Hao and Shi Lian, held them in his hands, and shouted loudly: "Your king doesn't want you anymore, you have already fled, you should surrender early, so as not to die blindly!" β
In fact, the hearts of the soldiers of the Wei army had already been shaken, and they felt very angry when they saw that they were besieged here, and Cao Cao had indeed abandoned them and ran away. When one of them surrendered first, he suddenly pulled the hearts of a circle of people around him, and the sound of surrender was endless for a while.
The men led by Gan Ning quickly dealt with the surrounding Wei soldiers, and after receiving the order from Lin Nan, they immediately began to attack the soldiers on the city walls, forcing them to surrender. The Wei army, which fought the decisive battle in the water, could not withstand the onslaught of the Yan army and was forced to surrender.
At the same time, Lin Nanzheng pursued all the way out with his flagship, but it was far from the ship that Cao Cao was on and could not catch up in time, so he had to give up, and then turned back to clean up the mess.
An hour later, 35,000 people in Chen Liucheng surrendered to the Yan army, Han Hao and Shi Jian were killed, and all 70,000 people in the city surrendered to the Yan army.
The flooding remained for more than half a day before the flood slowly receded.
When the flood receded, it was already late at night, and Lin Nan hurriedly led the cavalry to pursue Cao Cao along the muddy road, leaving Xun You to clean up the mess.
In the middle of the night, the dark clouds dispersed, the wind and rain stopped, and Cao Cao and the others went to the southwest very wolflessly, with only a few dozen war horses, and all the troops behind them were marching on foot.
In order to escape for his life, Cao Cao abandoned the army, and finally escaped, so he rested for a while on the side of the road, and when he saw the lush branches and leaves on the left and right, he laughed.
"King, what are you laughing at?" Everyone asked, puzzled.
Cao Cao said: "I laugh at the endless road, God opened a door for me, and let if you arrive in time, everyone has picked up a life, isn't it worth my laughter?" Everybody ......"
Suddenly, without waiting for Cao Cao to explain, suddenly fires broke out on both sides of the road, and Yan soldiers emerged and surrounded Cao Cao and others in the middle of the road. As soon as he saw Cao Cao coming, he immediately took action, and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I have been waiting here for a long time!" β
The sudden appearance of the Yan army surprised Cao Cao, who was on the run, and he immediately pulled out the Heavenly Sword on his waist, swung it forward, and shouted: "Kill out!" β
At the sound of an order, Cao Cao was the first to rush out, waving his long sword, and the fast horse galloped wildly, and the Shadow Horse rushed out like an arrow off the string in the dark night.
Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and others also showed no weakness, riding horses and following behind Cao Cao, bravely rushing forward to kill, while Xu Shu, Liu Ye, Cheng Yu and others rushed forward among the infantry.
The Wei soldiers had a very strong desire to survive, and they all knew very well that there were pursuers behind them, and if they didn't leave this place, they would probably be in danger.
