"They don't attack when it's raining, but now that the rain is light, they don't attack the city, they're confident!" Cai Mao stood at the head of the city, his eyes were sharp, staring at the outside of the city, even if it was raining, he could see the momentum of the soldiers outside the city besieging but not attacking.

"Governor, the scout has ventured out to investigate and come back, and the nearby mountains and bamboo forests have been cut down!"

The scout lieutenant arched his hand and said, "The enemy is not attacking, but making bamboo rafts and wooden platoons!" ”

"Governor, it seems that they are determined to do such a great evil!" Zhang Yun's face was gloomy, and he could drip water.

This made their last glimmer of hope gone.

What is the purpose of the Yizhou army making rafts and bamboo rows at this time, it is nothing more than that when the water floods over, they can take advantage of the victory to enter the city, and in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own people when they get it, this proves that they are determined to flood Jingzhou City.

"Governor, give me a trilogy, I'll go north to attack their dikes, no matter what, don't let them break the dikes and open the flood!"

A lieutenant pleaded for his life.

"It's useless!"

Cai Mao shook his head: "We are in the trap when we go out of the city, we are surrounded and killed by them, we will die as many as we want, and we can't grab the embankment, we are undoubtedly just sending them to death!" ”

"Are we going to die here?"

The generals stared ahead, filled with a thick sense of unwillingness.

"We can't die!"

Cai Mao said softly: "We have warships, even if they open the embankment and break the flood and flood Jingzhou City, they can't help us, at most they just put the battlefield in to fight, even if we lose Jingzhou City, we will not lose the main force, just ......"

There was a sadness in his eyes.

"It's just that hundreds of thousands of people in this city are about to suffer!" Zhang Yun added Cai Mao's words: "They are really desperate to break the city!" ”

Once the embankment is broken and the flood is discharged, the entire Jingzhou City will be submerged at the scale of the upstream water storage, and how many people can survive under the big water, it is really unthinkable.

"Pass my orders, all soldiers are ready, board the ship at any time!"

Cai Mao gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice.

He must prepare for the worst, when he has to do it, he can't take care of everyone, he must bring the main force back, otherwise Jingzhou will be defeated again and again, and the fall of the whole territory will not be far away.

"No!"

The generals received their orders with grief and indignation.

……………………………………

"Xi Sima, it's raining in the past few days, and the water level has risen by three feet!" On the upstream riverbank, Chen Zhi reported: "Our embankment still needs to be reinforced!" ”

"It's raining like this, even if we continue to reinforce, we really may not be able to withstand this torrent!"

Xi Zhicai looked up at the light rain, it rained heavily for several days, and it rained lightly in the past two days, but the light rain is also rain, and the rain is the high tide, and once the water level of the embankment they built exceeds the limit, it can't bear it at all.

"You can't make it happen!" He gritted his teeth and said: "It's not just us, please ask Pang Xi's soldiers and horses to come to assist, we will continue to strengthen the embankment, and ...... another."

He thought about it for a long time: "We really have no choice but to open an opening from the east and drain part of the flood past, and the east is a few dozen miles away from the mountains, and this area is rarely inhabited, at most, even if the farmland is submerged, it will not let us cause evil!" ”

Building a dam and storing water is a risky thing, once you are not careful, it will cause the embankment to burst, and whether you really want to flood Jingzhou City, or want to scare them, it will let the flood discharge and flood a hundred miles downstream, and the people affected by the radius will inevitably be countless.

"No!"

The generals will take the command.

………………………………

Another five days passed.

After two days of sunshine, it was followed by torrential rain, and the rainy season in Jingzhou was regarded as tossing the Yizhou army and the pastoral army out of the water and soil, so there were at least several battalions of soldiers who were not physically adaptable.

With the continuous heavy rain, the water level of the Yangtze River is constantly rising, but the water level of the Han River in the north is getting lower and lower.

Everyone seemed to be prepared.

On this day, Mu Jing was covered with rain, followed Liu Yan, walked on the hill behind the camp, looked down from a height, and in the heavy rain, he could faintly see the outline of Jingzhou City.

"Longtu, can this city be broken?"

Liu Yan pointed ahead and asked.

"Yes!"

Mu Jing replied: "As long as the lord trusts, he can break through the city today!" ”

"Really?" Liu Yan originally just felt it and pretended to be forced, but he didn't expect Mu Jing to have such an answer, which was an unexpected joy.

"The last general is willing to make a military order!"

Mu Jing arched his hand and said: "But the last general has to dispatch all the rights of the soldiers and horses!" ”

"You want the power to transfer troops?"

"Definitely!" Mu Jing shook his head: "I just want the right to transfer troops today, I will not leave the lord half a step today, and the military orders are all issued in front of the lord, but the lord's guarantee, the generals below must respect my military orders!" ”

"If you are so ambitious, how can I refuse you!"

Liu Yan was relieved, as long as Mu Jing was tied to his side, he couldn't turn over the waves, he clapped his hands and asked people to send some things: "This is an order arrow, a military talisman, and a military seal, which can command the soldiers of the three armies!" ”

"Thank you for your trust!"

Mu Jing bowed.

On this hill, a temporary command center was set up, commanding the arrows, the military seal of the herald document, and the military talisman in the right position, one by one, the command platform has upper and lower positions, Liu Yan is in the upper position, and Mu Jing is in the lower position.

Mu Jing knelt down in front of the desk and gave the first military order: "Transmission, Jingping's first army, break the embankment, discharge the flood!" ”

"No!"

A herald received the arrow and flew away.

"You're going to burst the embankment?"

Liu Yan looked at Mu Jing condescendingly and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, lord!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "In this battle, a certain will never let the lord bear the infamy, if there are thousands of sins, one person will bear it!" ”

Liu Yan stopped talking for a while, since someone was behind him, he just needed to see the broken city.

Mu Jing knelt down on his knees, studied the ink and picked up the pen, wrote a secret letter, stamped it with the military seal, branded with the red of the tiger talisman, and then sealed it up, and handed it to a herald: "Quickly pass on General Zhang Ren, it is a matter of military affairs, and it must not be delayed!" ”

"No!"

Another herald flew away.

"One more order, order my Yizhou army warships, line up at the mouth of the river, wait for the military order, the three-way war drum is the trumpet, drum up and attack, do not hesitate!"

"No!"

Another herald led the military order.

………………

on the banks of the river.

Xi Zhicai received the arrow, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly: "Open the embankment!" “

"Really open, or according to the original plan?"

Huang Zhong frowned.

"According to the original plan, of course!" Xi Zhicai looked around with his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Open half a mouth, and then seal the embankment, the momentum must be loud, but the embankment must be sealed in time!" ”

Open half of the mouth, the water that discharges the flood, although the momentum is very high at the beginning, but the follow-up is weak, at most it only floods the crops downstream, and it can't drown people, at most it can only drown people's waists, and when it reaches Jingzhou City, it is blocked by the city gate, and it is gone.

"Yes!"

The people took the command.

……

Rumble!!!!

A roaring sound shook the heavens and the earth, and it could shake the downstream position for dozens of miles.

"They've opened the dam!"

Cai Mao climbed high and looked far away, gloomy road.

"Get on board!"

Zhang Yun's low admonition.

"Hey!"

Cai Mao reluctantly boarded the ship, ready to evacuate at any time.

……

Outside the city.

"General, the embankment has been opened upstream!" The scout reported to Zhang Ren.

"I see!"

Zhang Ren swept away the gloom of the past few days, but there was a fighting spirit, he clenched the letter in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Pass my military order, the whole army gathers, break through the city, just today!" ”
