Chapter 355: Diverting Water to Irrigate Xiangyi

Liu Yu couldn't stand the heat, the intimate guards brought him a bucket of cold water, Liu Yu took off his shoes, put his feet in the water, and felt cold for a while.

After relieving the stuffiness a little, Liu Yu started working again.

"What now? If you knew that you would have taken Jia Xu with you, you wouldn't have to be so troublesome. Liu Yu regretted getting Jia Xu to Ma Chao's side.

It's useless to regret it now, because Cao Cao has increased his attack, Jia Xu is constantly coping, even if Liu Yu calls him over, he can't pull away.

The path I have chosen will be finished while crying.

Liu Yu didn't want too much, he just begged God to give him a hint so that he could have a way to break through Xiangyi. It's a pity that in addition to the sultry weather, there is only the loud cicada.

Liu Yu observed all the terrain around Xiangyi, and also saw what could be done to break through the city, except that Xiangyi was in a basin and close to Xiangshui. Water attack, Liu Yu didn't think about it at all. The prolonged drought has caused Xiangshui to dry up, and Liu Yudu is worried about whether the drought will continue.

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun came to Liu Yu together.

Zhao Yun said: "My lord, because the officers and soldiers of our army have suffered too much heat stroke, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, if they continue like this, I am afraid that the enemy will take advantage of it." ”

Gao Shun also said: "Lord, after scouting, Cao Cao's reinforcements have entered Xiangyi City, and our army has to defend against it. Zilong and I came to ask if the lord had any other military arrangements. ”

Liu Yu was already irritable, and was even more depressed by Zhao Yun and Gao Shun's bad news.

"Let's go and watch the enemy." Liu Yu was so irritable that she was ready to go out to breathe.

The three of them appeared in the sight of Cao Jun in Xiangyi City with a part of the soldiers and horses, and Xiahou Yuan was nervous and ordered the whole army to be on guard.

Liu Yu found that there were indeed more defenders in Xiangyi City than some time ago, and his heart was heavy.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan saw that Liu Yu was just watching the enemy's situation, and their nervous mood relaxed a lot.

Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "Liu Yu can only look at the city and sigh now. ”

"Miaocai, Liu Yu is notoriously cunning. Let's be vigilant. As long as the brigade arrives, we can take advantage of Liu Yu's exhaustion to kill him and defeat him, and the shame of the last defeat! Xia Houdun reminded.

Xiahou Yuan nodded vigorously, he was very angry about the defeat caused by his carelessness before, fortunately, the heavens have eyes, the scorching hot weather has reduced the combat effectiveness of Liu Yu's troops, as long as the reinforcements arranged by Cao Cao have arrived, then Liu Yu will only have one way to fail.

As for whether Liu Yu would retreat in advance, Xiahou Yuan was not worried. He also wished that Liu Yu would retreat, so that they could move forward and compress Liu Yu's space for movement.

As the sun sets, there is a hint of coolness in the sultry weather. The defenders of Xiangyi City all moved and strengthened their defenses, and they did so every day during this time. It was hot during the day, and at night, as soon as the weather was cool, Liu Yu would attack, so they had to be nervous.

Liu Yu tried several night raids, but they were unsuccessful.

Now that this moment has come again, Liu Yu doesn't know whether he wants to give the order to attack or not.

"Let's go, let's go back." After watching it for a long time, he didn't find anything, and Liu Yu felt that he should not waste time.

Liu Yu rode his war horse, bowed his head and pondered, wondering if he would retreat first, so as not to waste troops and time here.

Suddenly, a small shadow hit Liu Yu's face, Liu Yu grabbed it, opened his hand to look at it, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a dragonfly." ”

Liu Yu let the dragonfly go, and when he looked up, there were countless dragonflies flying all over the sky.

A message flashed in Liu Yu's mind, and he couldn't help but be in a daze, and it didn't take long for Liu Yu to smile and smile happily.

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun were puzzled, why did the lord look at these dragonflies and laugh.

At night, Liu Yu kept looking at the moon in the sky and laughing all the time. The moon in the sky, big and round, with a halo of light outside.

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "Lord, are you okay?" ”

"The siege of Xiangyi City is imminent." Liu Yu said.

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun were overjoyed.

Liu Yu took the two of them back to the military tent and said: "Zilong, you lead 5,000 soldiers to block the river in the upper reaches of Xiangshui, and when the river is full, listen to the king's order to dig the embankment." Gao Shun, you are responsible for building the raft secretly. ”

As soon as Zhao Yun and Gao Shun heard this, they knew that Liu Yu wanted to attack with water, but now the situation does not allow it at all.

"Lord, it's a drought right now, I'm afraid..."Zhao Yun expressed his worries.

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yu interrupted and said, "This king predicts that it will not be long before there will be a downpour, and the capture of Xiangyi is just around the corner." ”

"This ......" Gao Shun and Zhao Yun really didn't understand.

"Green worms fly all over the sky, and there is a moon in the full moon. This is a sign of a rainstorm coming. Liu Yu said the answer.

"The last will understand." Zhao Yun and Gao Shun thought to themselves that this was really the case, if it was really as accurate as Liu Yu said, it would really be feasible to attack Xiangyi by water.

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun didn't dare to delay, and immediately followed Liu Yu's arrangement.

Two days later, dark clouds came and a downpour poured down.

The heavy rain relieved the heat of the earth, and the soldiers on both sides laughed and laughed.

Xiahoudun Xiahouyuan is also very grateful for this heavy rain, the reinforcements have arrived, as long as the rain stops, they will be able to kill Xiangyi and fight Liu Yu to the death.

The heavy rain didn't seem to stop, and it was getting heavier and heavier, making it a problem for both sides to make fires for cooking.

Liu Yu ordered the whole army to move to the high ground, because Zhao Yun came to report that the blocked upstream river was already full and could launch a water attack at any time.

Liu Yu's move to the heights did not deceive the Xiahou brothers in Xiangyi City.

The two of them are still very bad, does Liu Yu want to take advantage of this opportunity to escape?

Xiahoudun sensed that something was wrong, the heavy rain for several days would definitely cause the river to skyrocket, but now Xiangshui is still like that.

"It's not good, Liu Yu wants to attack with water! Evacuate with the troops. Xiahoudun finally understood.

"What!" Xiahou Yuan was also taken aback.

Xiahoudun pulled Xiahouyuan down and was about to leave, but at this time, there was a rushing sound in the distance.

Xiahoudun saw a white line appear in front of him, it was a huge flood.

"Liu Yu, bastard!" Xiahoudun looked up to the sky and roared angrily.

The surging flood slammed into Xiangyi City, and the city walls shook for a while, setting off huge waves.

Xiahoudun was knocked down by the waves, if it weren't for Xiahouyuan's quick hand, Xiahoudun would have fallen into the water.

And the flood broke through the gate of Xiangyi City, and as soon as it poured in, the entire Xiangyi City became an ocean.

"It's over! Xiangyi is over! Yanzhou is also going to be finished. I'm sorry for my lord. Xiahoudun wept bitterly.
