Chapter 339: Flooding Pi
One wave after another, as if it were never-ending. Xiapi City has been smashed by Cao Jun for more than ten days, and many places cannot be seen on the surface, but there has been a lot of damage inside.
The raging river poured into the city, and the people climbed onto the roofs of their houses with the old and the young to escape the ravages of the floods. As the water level gradually rose, the people had no choice but to move higher. After dawn, Guan Yu looked at the city tower and saw that most of the city had been submerged under the flood, and only a few higher places were crowded with people crying and shouting.
Chen Zhi came from the city with a wooden basin, he climbed up to the top of the city wet, and said to Guan Yu: "General, the granaries in the city have all been flooded, the soldiers and people have been killed and wounded, and now it is still certain that there are less than two thousand soldiers who have survived, and they are still trapped everywhere. ”
He paused and continued: "The last general has found some door panels and wooden basins in the city, and asked the general to retreat immediately!" ”
Guan Yu's face was gloomy, the anger on his body seemed to erupt irrepressibly, and his voice was low and hoarse, "I was ordered by my brother to guard Xiapi, and now that Xiapi City is broken, how can I still have the face to withdraw?" You take the people to retreat first, and I, Guan Yunchang, have only one dead ear! ”
"Papa", there was another sound on the side of the city wall, but it was Gao Shun who also held the door panel and scratched over. As soon as he came up, he heard Guan Yu say that he was going to die with the city.
"General Guan, just now I was looking from the city tower, and Cao's warship has already come this way."
Guan Yu sneered: "A certain family has been thinking about it for a long time just now, and they are not quite sure whether this flood is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, but now it can be determined!" ”
He stood up, looked at the white waves of the churning water outside, and shouted: "The Cao thief is really shameless, and he can't attack the city, so he thought of such an idea that lost his conscience!" You lead the people to retreat first, and I will break off here! ”
Chen Zhi showed a helpless look on his face, "How can we resist the wolf-like Cao army when we are trapped on this section of the city wall?" General, let's withdraw first! ”
Guan Yu said: "The Cao army has been prepared for a long time, if no one attracts their attention, how can the soldiers and people in the city withdraw?" I have made up my mind, and I need no more words! ”
Chen Zhi sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then the general will accompany the general to die in battle." ”
Gao Shun on the side bowed to the ground wet, and said in a deep voice: "Although Liu Yuanjun is now a small number of soldiers, he will never surrender to Cao Cao easily. In the future, when fighting against Cao's army, Liu Yuanjun still needs the assistance of two generals, how can he waste his life here? ”
He raised his head and said, "The last general is not talented, may the false general banner stay here to attract the enemy." ”
Gao Shun has always been cold, and he is silent on weekdays, but at this time, he said so much in one breath, which greatly changed Chen Zhi's impression of him. However, now that the situation is critical, Chen Zhi can't care about anything else, so he said loudly to Guan Yu: "The lord regards the general as his right-hand man, does the general want to cut off the lord's arm?" ”
Guan Yu's face changed slightly, and he stared at Gao Shun and said, "But staying will definitely be the end of the entire army........... What does General Gao have to say? ”
Gao Shun bowed again, then got up and said: "The last general was originally a subordinate of General Lu Bu, and he followed Liu Zhijun to the east, just to serve the first prince." If the general and Liu Yuanjun have some minor merits, please say a few good words to the general, and ask the general not to be for General Lu Bu anymore. ”
"That's it?" Guan Yu asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Other than that, there is nothing else to ask for. ”
Guan Yu bowed his head and said, "I remember what you said." ”
Subsequently, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi led hundreds of soldiers and thousands of people, holding wooden basins, door panels, tree branches and other things, and fled further east before Cao's warship arrived. Gao Shun put up the banner left by Guan Yu, and ordered the soldiers to blow the trumpet to show his existence.
"Whoa, whoa!"
The oars swayed, and Cao's warship headed in the direction of Xiapi City. It is said that it is a war boat, but in fact it is just a fishing boat used by ordinary people. Cao Jun dug the river embankment in a hurry, and did not have time to prepare professional warships. Besides, there is no habit or tradition of using warships in the north.
However, they are finally prepared, and even if it is a fishing boat, it can come in handy. Hearing the sound of drums and trumpets at the head of the city, the generals of the Cao army shouted loudly and commanded the small fleet to go in the direction of the sound. After a while, someone on the bow of the ship shouted, "It's Guan Yu's flag!" ”
"I saw Guan Yu!"
"Catch Guan Yu!"
"The lord has an order, capture Guan Yu alive!"
More than a dozen Cao Junxiao generals, with more than 1,000 elite soldiers, rushed towards this section of the city wall. They were few in number, but the defenders were not only in poor condition, but they were also divided in many places by the flood, and they could not help each other, and could only watch as dozens of fishing boats approached the walls.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Because they were fighting on the water, the Cao soldiers did not wear armor, but they carried many bows and crossbows. With the general's order, the arrows flew out like locusts.
"Dang dang dang", "puff puff", arrows shot at shields and walls, making either crisp or dull sounds. There were only more than 300 people on this section of the city wall where Gao Shun was, and although they also counterattacked with bows and crossbows, they were quickly suppressed by arrows and couldn't raise their heads.
The Surabaya levee burst at 10 a.m., and many soldiers were flooded without preparation. They fled to the city in haste, many of them poorly armoured, not to mention carrying bows and arrows. Therefore, Cao's army could recklessly get close to the city and shoot the people on the city one by one.
After a long time, as the generals of the Cao army drank loudly, the crossbowmen with sore arms stopped shooting. The city was already littered with arrows, and many of the defenders fell to the ground with a slight groan.
"Up! The lord has an order, and those who capture Guan Yu alive will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold and a pair of white bi! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded in half! ”
Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and the soldiers of the Cao army are basically no different from slaves, so they are very fierce in battle, and the scourge of the people is also extremely fierce. Hearing that such a reward had been offered, the soldiers rushed to the top of the city, trying to take the reward into their arms.
But when Cao's soldiers reached the top of the city, someone suddenly stood up behind the battlements and rained javelins and arrows on the invaders.
"Puff puff", a small number of arrows and javelins still caused huge damage to the Cao soldiers, and when they were not wearing armor, they were at such a close distance, as long as they were hit by javelins, they basically lost their combat effectiveness. If you are only shot by an arrow, if you are lucky, you can save a life.
Dozens of Cao soldiers screamed and fell into the river, the blood staining the surrounding waters a little red. But the plight of their comrades did not demoralize them, and more soldiers continued to rush forward with yelling. They knew that the defenders were at the end of their power, and there weren't many of them, so now was the time to rush forward and get the battle!
Gao Shun held a shield in one hand and a short spear in the other, and stepped forward to engage Cao's army. After stabbing six enemies in a row, he also received a few blows on his body, and blood flowed down his armor. Gao Shun fought and retreated, and the soldiers around him also fought fiercely with the enemy, but they were outnumbered and soon suffered casualties, leaving only him who could continue to hold on because of his strong armor.
"Guan Yu is here!"
The surrounding Cao soldiers shouted as they nervously forced Gao Shun into a corner. Gao Shun was wearing Guan Yu's armor and Guan Yu's helmet, leaning on the fluttering "Guan" battle flag, and kept breathing hard. Every breath he took brought a sharp pain in his lungs, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.
"Guan Yunchang?"
Xu Chu separated from the Cao soldiers and stepped forward. He glanced at Gao Shun, and then said affirmatively: "You are not Guan Yu!" ”
"What? This person is not Guan Yu? If it weren't for Guan Yunchang, how could he have killed so many of us? ”
Xu Chu sneered: "Guan Yu is nine feet tall, this person is not as tall as me, how can it be Guan Yu?" ”
He pointed his knife at Gao Shun and shouted, "Who are you?" Where is Guan Yu? ”
Gao Shun gasped for a while, suddenly laughed, he took off his helmet, raised his head and said: "Gao Shun is also under the command of General Nai Lu Bu!" As for General Guan, he has already gone far away! ”
"Gao Shun? Anyway, if you can't kill Guan Yu, it's not in vain to kill Gao Shun and come here in person! ”
Xu Chu shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Get out of the way, let me kill him!" ”
Xu Zhongkang, who had a big waist and a round waist, walked up and slashed at Gao Shun with a knife. Gao Shun raised the shield in his left hand to block, and the short spear in his right hand stabbed towards Xu Chu. This move is both offensive and defensive, and gives full play to the weapon advantages of short spears and shields. He had relied on such a trick before, stabbing and stabbing many enemies.
But he has been fighting fiercely for a long time, and he has been wounded in many places on his body, and no matter how subtle his tricks are, he can't exert the power they deserve. In the face of Gao Shun's counterattack, Xu Chu strode forward, grabbed the middle line, and the handle of the ring head knife hit the shield hard, and with an extension of his left hand, he grabbed the short spear that stabbed him.
Xu Chu's strength was already greater than Gao Shun's, and when he grabbed the short spear at this time, he had already laid a winning situation. He was unforgiving, lifted a kick, and kicked Gao Shun over. The surrounding Cao soldiers swarmed up and captured the enemy on the ground.
"Vulnerable!" Xu Chu shook his head, a little disappointed, "If you hadn't been injured, maybe you would have been able to make two moves with me, but now, it's too far away!" ”
He shouted to the soldiers: "Tie Gao Shun tightly and take him to the lord!" Although he is not Guan Yu, this person is also a general under Liu Bei, but you have to watch it, don't let him commit suicide by diving! ”
The soldiers of Cao Jun smiled and said: "General Xu rest assured, I promise to tie him up tightly!" ”
"That is, the craftsmanship of the two pockmarks is a must in the army! The women he tied up before couldn't break free! ”
Xu Chu is a strong force with thousands of people, and he has excellent martial arts, so he was reused as soon as he was put into Cao Cao's command. He didn't have much in common with these pickled fellows, and he didn't have any special hobby of rope art, so he snorted, turned around, jumped into a small boat, and headed for the big camp.
