Chapter 83: The Flood! Flood!
Liu Chan had already heard about Guan Ping's private carving at this time.
Before Guan Ping, he used both soft and hard, so that Chang Diao could sabotage in the Wei army,
Chang Diao is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is very spiritual in doing things, and he has been executing quite well.
Now that Liu Chanshui's idea of attacking Fancheng has been revealed, it depends on whether Chang Diao can further fool Yu Ban and Pang De.
"If this plan is successful, then drive the big ship to attack the forbidden,
If it fails, then attack Fancheng with a big ship,
In any case, since you choose to attack by water, you must make some achievements, and hope that you will fight together, and don't fall behind. โ
After yesterday's battle, everyone felt that Liu Chan's temperament had changed somewhat.
Although Liu Chan was like a god before, he always looked like he had no confidence.
The mobilization of the whole army also relied on Zhuge Qiao and Ju Fu to operate.
And after yesterday's battle, Liu Chan seemed to wake up suddenly,
At this moment, he made up his mind to quickly eradicate the strong army of Yu Ban.
Under Liu Chan's urging, the improvised dam was quickly completed, and the raging flood was cut off at the waist and began to pile up angrily.
Guan Yu's army also began to retreat gradually, slowly retreating to the warships and the high ground,
Looking at the more and more river water behind the dam, Guan Yu's red face, which had always been waveless, also had a trace of waves.
He slowly lowered a pair of Danfeng eyes and said in a low voice:
"I hope Adou's clever plan will come true."
ยท
During the Battle of Chibi, Yu Ban accepted Zhao Yan's unified dispatch with Zhang Liao and others.
But before they could reach the battlefield, Cao's army had already been defeated, so there was little chance of contact with water warfare.
Yu Ban doesn't know about water warfare, but it doesn't mean that he will ignore the movement of Guan Yu's army.
He subconsciously felt that Guan Yu should have accumulated extremely powerful means to attack himself.
At present, the torrential rain continues, and it is very likely that it is a routine of breaking the embankment and attacking the water.
Oh, Lao Tzu is not Lu Bu, is he really stupid?
Seeing that Guan Yu's army began to retreat, Yu Ban also immediately ordered the troops to retreat, preparing to take refuge further north.
But as soon as he gave the order, Chang Diao strode over with a talisman and said in a loud voice:
"General Yu, where are you going to lead your army?"
Yu Ban's official position is much bigger than Chang Diao's, and there was no need to give Chang Diao any good looks.
But Cao Ren's identity is special, and his orders are forbidden and dare not disobey.
Seeing that Chang Diao asked for a talisman, he could only bite the bullet and say:
"Guan Yu is afraid that he is going to break the embankment and attack, it is dangerous here, so we must retreat north quickly."
"General Yu must not!" Chang Diao slowly knelt down, raised the talisman above his head, and said sincerely,
"General, Guan Yu is cunning, Liu Chan is wise,
They couldn't fight the general head-on, so they used this false and real strategy to force the general to retreat temporarily. โ
"When I came out of Fancheng, General Cao was already very difficult,
But he still insisted on defending the city and never retreated.
The general won the trust of the King of Wei and personally led tens of thousands of troops, Guan Yu did not dare to compete with the general, so he used this strategy to prepare to force the general to retreat! โ
"I have been in Fancheng for many years and know hydrogeography,
Even if Guan Yu bursts the embankment, it will only flood the south side of the city.
The north of the city is very safe, and the general can rest assured. โ
"And if the flood comes, Guan Yujun is not a heavenly general, and he can't always fight the general.
What is there to fear about the general? โ
Yu Ban pursed his lips, but didn't say anything after all.
He has never seen the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and he thinks that what Chang Diao said has some truth.
When the water attacked Lu Bu, I didn't see the entire Xiapi submerged.
Isn't I overreacting a bit?
The most important thing is that Yu Ban can't afford to give up Cao Ren's huge guilt.
If he turned around and ran away, Guan Yu took the opportunity to storm Fancheng successfully, and Cao Cao would never let it go.
"Are you sure you're really okay here?"
"Of course it's sure!" Chang Diao said confidently, "I am also in the army, and I can't joke with my life."
General Cao asked General Yu to garrison his troops here, showing a trend of cornering.
If General Yu leaves, it will really make General Cao's hard work ruined! โ
Chang Diao also sensed Guan Yu's plan for a water attack,
He wittily adjusted Cao Ren's order and let Yu Ban camp in the north of the city.
Although Yu Ban was reluctant, he had to carry out Cao Ren's orders.
He let out a long sigh and said:
"Giant eagle, I believe you once,
Decree to all armies, not to move, and to camp here! โ
Pound heard the order to retreat from the forbidden tent, and hurriedly came to the forbidden tent to dissuade him.
"General Yu, the thief army will attack with water,
If not now, when? โ
Yu Ban raised his eyelids and looked at this tall Xiliang man,
After a long time, he waved his hand and said:
Pound...... No, Ling Ming,
I have a reason to be here.
The giant eagle said that this place is safe and sound, and I will simply believe him once, and I hope everything goes well! โ
Pound said incredibly:
"How can General Yu hand over the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to the Mandate of Heaven?"
Yu Ban laughed miserably:
"You don't understand, you don't understand, go quickly, maybe you have to fight tomorrow."
If fighting a war is just a simple fight, it will be too simple.
Yu Ban paced in the camp for a long time with his hands behind his back, and finally did not dare to disobey the so-called Cao Ren's order.
The troops had to be ordered to stay put.
ยท
In the middle of the night, the uneasiness in Yu Ban's heart continued to expand.
He couldn't sleep, so he got up again and walked around the camp with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and hurriedly called:
"Come on, come on, come on,
Ride a fast horse, go to the city and ask General Cao, shall we defend or retreat? โ
Cao Ren's order was conveyed by Chang Diao,
Although it was impossible for Chang Diao to falsely pass on the instructions of the officials, it was about the lives of tens of thousands of people, so Yu Ban still decided to send someone to ask.
If Cao Ren's conscience suddenly found out and changed his deployment, he could also quickly gather his soldiers and leave.
I didn't think of it before, I didn't think of it before.
Yu Ban seemed to grasp a life-saving straw in despair,
He even had a vague premonition that the envoy would soon return with Cao Ren's order to withdraw his troops.
At that time, his subordinates don't have to risk dripping water, and they can naturally be safe and sound.
When Chang Diao got the news, it was already the morning of the second day.
When he heard that Yu Ban had sent an envoy to Fancheng, his face suddenly changed greatly.
No, when the messenger enters the city, doesn't he immediately know that I am a ghost?
I'm afraid that Yu Ban will cut me with a knife!
me.
Chang Diao's eyes rolled, he casually grabbed a dirty battle robe and put it on his body, and was about to make up as a soldier and slip away.
But as soon as he slipped out of the tent door, he suddenly felt a violent tremor from the ground beneath his feet.
Chang Diao subconsciously thought that it was the enemy's brigade of cavalry that was killed, but he reacted in an instant-
How could Guan Yu's army have so many cavalry?
Looking into the distance, Chang Diao saw a terrifying scene that he would never forget.
A huge wall of water actually rose in the direction of Fancheng, which should have been a flat land.
The surging waves roared and rolled up a large number of dead branches of earth, like an ancient giant raising a terrifying fist high, with infinite anger, slamming it in the direction of Cao Jun!
"Mom!"
Although Chang Diao had been prepared, he didn't expect this flood to be so turbulent.
That's all there is to the sea, right?
"Run, run!"
ยท
Liu Chan stood on the boat, nervously watching the torrential waves below roll by, and couldn't help but shiver in a weak heart.
In fact, Liu Chan was not ready to burst the embankment and release the water at all.
It's just that the dam has just been built, and everyone finds that the speed of the upstream water has actually increased dramatically-
Fortunately, everyone had already prepared the big ship, and immediately moved when they found that it was not good.
As soon as it was transferred to the ship, the earthen dam was washed away by the flood.
The surging flood poured for thousands of miles, slamming heavily into the rammed earth walls of Fancheng, and the terrifying sound of landslides and earth cracks frightened Liu Chan to tremble.
Guan Yu, who has a lot of experience in water warfare, didn't care, smiled and nodded:
"I thought about the strategy of water attack before, but I was worried that the water was not enough, but it would delay the siege.
Unexpectedly, Adou could calculate the peak of the Han River summer flood,
This time, Cao Ren must be made to kneel and beg for mercy. โ
Guan Ping and Zhao Lei looked at Liu Chan in awe together, and Liu Chan was trembling again.
Yes, yes, yes, it's all me, it's all me, it's all me,
It turns out that I am so powerful.
Liu Chan, who was poured into soup by the heavy rain, sneezed, and subconsciously wrapped his robe tightly.
"Childe," Ding Fenghan leaned over with a smile, "With such a big water, Fancheng can sail a boat,
At the end of the year, please lead 300 men and horses to fetch Cao Ren's head! โ
It's a very tempting proposition.
However, thinking that Fancheng was not broken by the flood in history, Liu Chan didn't want to make any extraneous branches.
He waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, maybe the walls of Fancheng will collapse, and then we will attack in time."
Ding Feng nodded in disappointment, but in the next second, Zhuge Qiao suddenly let out an exclamation.
"Ahh
Fancheng, is the wall of Fancheng about to collapse? โ
