Chapter 467: Suddenly, like a mountain torrent overnight
"Wai! It must be surrounded, and Xu Dingchong must not be allowed to kill it. ”
An overview of the battle sent by Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran, Yuan Shao was not only not disappointed, but extremely happy.
His own euphorbia and Xu Ding's most elite foot soldiers fought equally, which showed that his military strength was not weaker than Xu Ding's.
I have the strength to face the hard cylinder.
Although Zhang Jaw and the others could not capture Xu Ding's temporary camp, Xu Ding could not break through the encirclement of the Euphorbia, and there were almost 20,000 ordinary soldiers there to assist.
So he immediately said to his opponent: "Tell Wen Chou, let him also reinforce the past, don't seek to break the enemy, as long as they can surround Xu Ding and prevent them from running out, it will be a great achievement." ”
Yuan Shao's grudge against Xu Ding has accumulated very deeply, as long as he has the opportunity to kill Xu Ding, he will definitely not let it go.
Now Xu Ding only takes 5,000 people to cross the river, and the opportunity to hold your hand is rare for a thousand years.
It's just that Feng Ji on the side was full of worry on his face, Yuan Shao noticed his strange appearance and asked, "Why is Yuan Tu so lookful?" ”
Feng Ji said: "Lord, Xu Ding's style of doing things is too weird, I always feel that something is wrong, if Xu Ding breaks the enemy before the battle, Zhang Gao and the two generals should not be able to stop it, right?" ”
"This may be that Xu Ding has seen the power of the Euphorbia, and he doesn't dare to be pretentious, it is difficult for ordinary generals to stop him, but relying on the military formation of the Euphorbia, Xu Ding doesn't dare to be too arrogant, this time Xu Ding is going to fold it in my hands, hum, I won't let him go." Yuan Shao is like this, when he is at a low point, he is very heroic, but once he climbs to the top, he has the situation of looking down on the world and developing the situation under control, and the small mentality of the family sprouts out, and he can't listen to anyone's advice.
Feng Ji actually understood Yuan Shao's character, so he only said: "The lord still needs to be cautious and careful when dealing with Xu Ding, and he can't be careless." ”
Yuan Shao was a little impatient, and replied: "Don't worry, I will let Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran, and Wen Chou be careful, and don't be in a hurry every step of the way." ”
Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and others, who received Yuan Shao's order, were indeed cautious, and did not dare to be sloppy, so they set up camp at the foot of the mountain and surrounded Xu Chu, Xu Shu and others in a half-circle.
Soon Wen Chou also arrived with an army of 10,000, and he wanted to wipe the attack to see what Xu Ding was doing, but neither Gao Ran nor Zhang Jaw agreed.
Sui Wenchou did not dare to act rashly, and honestly joined the siege.
On the afternoon of Wen Chou's arrival, there was a light rain, and then the rain intensified, and the storm was fierce.
The summer and autumn rains came violently and quickly, sometimes violently, sometimes with a pause.
The sky is getting dark, and the earth is full of potholes and dampness, especially under the mountain.
Yuan's camp was constantly strengthened and repaired, and the torches of the stars shone faintly in the heavy rain.
On the mountain, Xu Shu showed a charming smile that only a victor has, and looked down the mountain through the chaotic night: "General Xu, we can break the enemy tonight, the lord is really a god and a man, and auspicious luck from the sky will help us and other meritorious services!" ”
Xu Chu didn't understand very clearly and asked tired: "Mr. Xu, do you want to take advantage of the night rain to attack and take them by surprise!" ”
"No, no, no! Xu Jiang, you misunderstood, we don't need to attack in the night rain, we just need to sleep in the camp and recuperate, and get up tomorrow to pursue the remnants of the enemy. Xu Shu saw that Xu Chu still didn't understand, and pointed to a large natural pit dug out of the mountain:
"Why should I camp in this barren land? Because there is a big pit here, and now it can accumulate a lot of rainwater when it rains, what do you think will happen if we tear down the newly repaired camp wall? ”
This!
Xu Chuzhi took a breath.
Xu Shu is a ruthless man, he wants to attack with water and use the flood to impact the Yuan army camp under the mountain.
The power of nature is the most terrifying, killing people invisibly.
Xu Chu gave a thumbs up and said, "It's still Mr. Xu!" Such a clever plan can reduce a lot of damage to our army. ”
For the generals, remember to be too benevolent, and the so-called mercy is not in charge of the soldiers.
"It's not my credit, it's the princess's will." Xu Shu said and took out the bag from his arms.
Xu Chu was originally a martial artist who didn't like to learn and couldn't recognize a few words, but after being forced to learn by Xu Ding over the years, he could basically recognize and write most of the Chinese characters.
So I took a look, and saw that it was written that there would be heavy rain in the vicinity, so Xu Shu could dodge it safely, and make good use of this advantage to severely damage the enemy.
"Big brother is really getting more and more godly, can you know this?" After reading it, Xu Chu's eyes shot out of fanatical worship.
My eldest brother is too powerful, he used to be more powerful than himself, he could compose poems, and he could invent all kinds of objects, but now he can pinch his fingers to calculate the method of changing heaven and earth.
"Yes! The Lord is truly a man of God! Xu Shu also sighed with emotion.
Not much to say, under Xu Shu's intentional construction, more and more water continued to flow under the mountain, and Xu Shu kept staring, waiting for the water to be full, and then demolishing the built camp dam.
But the rain stopped at midnight, and the water in the pit was not rising.
This temporarily interrupted his plan to flood the three armies.
"Mr. Xu, if we don't use it, this water is enough to wash away the Yuan army's camp, although we can't wipe out all its 30,000 soldiers and horses, it should be no problem to kill and injure more than 10,000 people, and then we can bite down 5,000 in pursuit." Xu Chu suggested.
Xu Shu said: "No, such an opportunity is too rare, we must solve Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, and Wen Chou at one time, and take down these 30,000 Yuan troops, so that they will not have a single soldier to defend Yuan Shao, and the lord's sneak attack plan can be more perfect." ”
Xu Shu is a little unwilling, and now he can win by demolishing the camp dam, but this victory is a bit big from expectations.
It was not easy to create such a good opportunity, and there was still Yuan Shao's most elite halberd warrior under the mountain, and he didn't want to let it go.
"Then what should I do, do I have to wait for God to rain for a few hours?" Xu Chu asked.
It was the inadvertent who asked and the intentional listener that Xu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, patted Xu Chu's shoulder and said, "What Zhongkang said is reasonable, we are waiting for an hour or two, and soon the rain we want will come." ”
After speaking, Xu Shu immediately beckoned all the soldiers to the puddle and a high position, and rushed to dig a ditch away from the north bank of the Zhanshui River.
Gao Lan, Zhang Jaw, Wen Chou and others at the foot of the mountain saw that the rain had stopped, and a big stone under their hearts finally landed.
"Fortunately, the rain has stopped, and if it continues like this, our camp will all be turned into a pond, and we will not need to be beaten, and we ourselves will be drowned in the water first." Gao Ran said happily.
Wen Chou also said: "Yes, who would have thought that it would rain so heavily at this time, and we must move the camp as soon as possible after dawn tomorrow, don't be here, otherwise it will be over in the next rainstorm." ”
Zhang Jaw also said: "It's just that we are anxious, bent on besieging Xu Ding, not letting him have the slightest chance to rush out, otherwise we won't set up the camp here." ”
Zhang Jaw knew that he was to blame this time, he did not arrange the camp according to the way of the art of war, and he was mainly responsible for the flood in the camp at this time.
Fortunately, the rain stopped, and the problem was not too big, so it was good to choose the right place after dawn.
The second half of the night!
An hour later, the water that Xu Shu was waiting for came, and the rain flowed into the river, and the water swelled, and it took an hour to advance here.
The swollen river overflowed the north bank of the Zhanshui River and entered the big pit along the ditch that Xu Shu had ordered to dig.
After a while, the water in the pit reached two-thirds of the dam.
Xu Shu gave an order, Xu Chu personally manipulated the Mo knife, slashed hard, built a section of the camp dam to split a big hole, the flood poured down, like a beast rolled towards the Yuan camp at the foot of the mountain.
The loud rumbling sound woke up the 30,000 Yuan troops who hadn't slept much......
