"General Zhang!" Yan Yan rode his horse in the rain and asked directly, "What is the matter with the military orders that have just been assembled?" ”

"From the middle camp!"

Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "We're going to attack!" ”

"My lord?"

"It's not!" Zhang Ren shook his head: "Mulong Diagram!" ”

"How so?"

Yan Yan's eyes flashed with a cold glow.

"The lord trusts him!" Zhang Ren said calmly: "And the lord thinks that he can break the city, so now the command of the whole army is in his hands!" ”

"Didn't he just make a crazy plan to flood Jingzhou City?"

Yan Yan frowned.

"I thought so before, but we all underestimated this young man who was in the world, he was simply seeking a plan!"

Zhang Ren handed the letter in his hand to Yan Yan and said, "This is the military order letter written to me by Mu Longtu, what do you think!" ”

"It's really a good idea to cover up with flooding and seize the gap to attack the city!"

Yan Yan is also a general, he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he still has vision, he looked at the letter carefully, nodded in praise, but also expressed his worries: "But what if he has evil intentions and really breaks the embankment and discharges the flood, won't all of us suffer!" ”

This is indeed a ploy, but it may not be impossible to make the fake come true, when the time comes, there will be no news, and the gap will be opened directly when the flood is discharged, and a flood will flood the past, and it will not only be Jingzhou City.

Instead, their hundreds of thousands of Yizhou troops will cover it.

"That's what I'm hesitating about!"

"But you have already ordered the whole army to be assembled, that is, you are ready to deploy according to his strategy, and you want to attack the city, so it proves that you are ready to trust him once!" Yan Yan said.

"I bet he wasn't so mad!"

Zhang Ren nodded and said softly.

………………

Hill Command Battalion.

Mu Jing stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the bottom of the mountain, watching the heavy rain covering Jingzhou City, his mood became a little restless: "I hope to succeed in one fell swoop!" ”

This is a letter of nomination he gave to Liu Yan, and he cannot afford to fail.

Flooding Jingzhou City is just a false move, and the real opportunity to break the city is at the moment of flooding, that is, after the Jingzhou army gives up defending the city and chooses to board the ship to resist, when the city walls have lost their defense, it is the best time for the army to drive straight in.

This battle is easy to say, but it is difficult to work with.

Especially the timing.

Therefore, Mu Jing's own confidence is not very large, the most important thing is that he cooperated with Zhang Ren for the first time, the understanding between the two sides is insufficient, once there is a crisis of confidence in the middle, even if it is a little hesitation, the fighter will be fleeting.

"Beat the drums!"

Mu Jing could only calm his mentality at this time, and opened his mouth to order: "Order, the warship will attack, block the mouth of the river, and oppress the moat of Jingzhou City!" ”

"No!"

After a herald gives the order

……

On the Yangtze River, the warships of the Yizhou army moved, directly pressed the mouth of the river, and went straight to the moat of Jingzhou City.

"The Yizhou warship sealed the mouth of the river?"

Cai Mao heard the report of the return of the scout ship, and her heart suddenly felt abrupt.

It is impossible for him to get on the boat and escape until the last moment, unless it is really flooded, but at this time, he suddenly found that the Yizhou warship blocked the mouth of the river, which was equivalent to a knife in his own retreat.

Although the warships of the Yizhou army were useless in front of the Jingzhou naval army, if they were in peacetime, no matter how they blocked it, they should not be able to see it.

But now, if they want to rush out when Jingzhou City is flooded, and they are suddenly entangled by the Yizhou warship, even if they are entangled for a quarter of an hour, they may fall into the flood, then they will fall into a possibility of drifting with the tide and then running aground on the shore.

"The Metropolitan Governor, when the judgment continues, it will be chaotic!"

Zhang Yun bowed his hand and saluted slightly.

"The whole army retreats to the city walls and boards the ship!" Cai Mao gritted his teeth and grimaced face, at this time he had no choice but to give up, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Order the first battalion and the second battalion to immediately drive the warship to open the way, break through the obstacles at the mouth of the river, and prevent our army from being blocked in the moat!" ”

"No!"

The captains of the two battalions surrendered their hands.

……

Outside the city.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan stood on a mountain pass.

Rumble!

The flood came, but in fact the water level was not high, but it only swept away on the city wall, stirring up huge waves one after another, forming a particularly ferocious offensive.

"Withdrawn!"

The scout reported: "General, the Jingzhou soldiers at the head of the city have withdrawn!" ”

"Attack!"

Zhang Ren was wearing battle armor, holding the hilt of the sword, his eyes were hunting, staring at a city close at hand, and after the final consideration, he finally made up his mind, drew his sword and swung forward, and shouted: "The whole army will attack, and within an hour, take the Jingzhou city wall!" ”

"General, it's all floods down there?"

A lieutenant whispered.

"Can the water that can only drown the heels of the road?" Zhang Ren drank coldly: "Give me an attack, the whole army will attack, if there is any hesitation, military law will deal with it!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals commanded.

The soldiers lay down about halfway up to the water level, and in the heavy rain, rushed to the city wall.

At this time, it was when the whole army of Jingzhou retreated and boarded the ship, there was no obstacle on the city wall, it was useless, they didn't have to rush to the city gate, as long as they set up a simple ladder, or even a ladder with people on top of each other, they could climb the city wall.

In half an hour, one by one the city walls fell at the feet of the soldiers of the Yizhou army, and they successfully climbed the city wall and occupied the city gate.

……

Embarcadero wharves.

Da Da Da !!!

Scout Kuamada reported: "Governor, Governor!" ”

"What?"

Cai Mao was directing the generals to board the ship and evacuate, the warships of the Yizhou army were useless, and he only used two battalions to break through the defense of the mouth of the river.

"The Yizhou army has entered the city?"

"What?"

Cai Mao glared: "How is it possible?" ”

He suddenly thought of a possibility: "Where has the water level risen, has it rushed through the city wall?" ”

"Not at all!"

The scout replied: "The flood that came down from the upper reaches of the city wall has already receded, not to mention drowning people, not even children, but at most the crops on the outskirts of the city!" ”

"Poof!"

Cai Mao was so angry that she spit out a mouthful of blood: "We were fooled!" ”

At this time, if he still can't figure out what is going on, he is not unworthy of being the governor of this naval army.

From beginning to end, flooding Jingzhou City was just a false trick.

Build dikes to store water.

Build a raft with bamboo rows.

Fake retreat.

Blockade of the estuary.

One move after another, it was to make him think that the Yizhou army would not hesitate to use hundreds of thousands of people in the city as burials, but also flood Jingzhou City and break the defense of Jingzhou City.

However, all of this was just for him to take the initiative to withdraw from the defense of the city walls.

He's so stupid.

"The Grand Duke!"

When several generals saw it, they immediately caught up.

"Order Zhang Yun to withdraw!"

Cai Mao gritted her teeth, forcibly propped up her weak body, and shouted: "We are in this city, fight them to the death and recapture the city gate!" ”

"Metropolitan Governor, it's too late!"

A lieutenant arched his hand and said: "The first battalion, the second battalion and all the warships of Zhang Yun's department have already crossed the estuary and entered the Yangtze River, and it will take at least a few hours to retreat, and we can't hold it!" ”

Out of the river, if you want to retreat, it is not so easy, even if the Yizhou warship is completely scrapped, it will take them a few hours to do it, once it is entangled, the city will be attacked again.

They will suffer on both sides, and the army will surely be destroyed.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Cai Mao shouted angrily.

"Governor, for the sake of your sons' lives, let's withdraw!" Several lieutenants bowed their heads and admonished: "This battle is already overwhelmed!" ”

At this point, even if everyone is unwilling, what can they do, lose the city wall, with the city, how long can they maneuver, even if they do, how much strength do they have and the Yizhou army desperately.

"A certain is unwilling!"

Cai Mao was carried by his generals onto the ship, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, but his sad and indignant expression couldn't change the situation of the battle.

In this battle, they were defeated without a fight and directly handed over the city wall to the Yizhou army.

……………………

On the head of the western wall.

In less than an hour after the attack, Zhang Ren was already standing here, planting the battle flag of the Liu clan in Yizhou, and waving the battle flag in the face of the heavy rain, telling everyone that this city had been captured by them.

"What is the upstream water level?" This was the first thing he cared about after he landed in the city.

"It's already retreating!"

The scout's answer reassured Zhang Ren a lot, it seems that Minghou still kept his promise, and did not really open the embankment to release the flood.

"Pass my order, the third battalion of the Dongzhou Army, guard the city wall, the fifth battalion and my sixth battalion, follow me into the city!"

Zhang Ren waved his long sword and pointed at the city: "Before dark, I want to take the whole city!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals led the order, and the momentum was high.

At this time, the Bajun soldiers and Yizhou soldiers who occupied the south city gate, the two soldiers and horses let go of their hands and feet, and they were like two long dragons that drove straight into the center of the city, and successively occupied the two urban areas in the southeast.

……

It was getting dark, and the heavy rain had stopped for a while.

The Jingzhou army withdrew from Yizhou City, one by one warships withdrew from the mouth of the river in an orderly manner, and then went down the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, they retained enough strength, but abandoned Jingzhou City.

The Yizhou army did not hurt a single soldier and occupied the whole city.
