Pang Tong listened to what Liu Bei said, and replied coldly: "Lord, don't you carry out my plan, can you hold Jiangling?" In exchange for the lives of 100,000 central troops, this account is appropriate, right? If Gangneung can't hold it, these hundreds of thousands of people won't belong to us, so what's the pity? ”

Guan Yu, Wei Yan and others are all pure military generals, they only have the victory or defeat of the war in their minds, how can they care about the life and death of ordinary people?

As long as they can kill more enemies, they can accept any means!

Only Yan Yan couldn't bear it, but seeing that everyone agreed, how could he oppose himself as a foreign general? I'm afraid that the people of Gangneung won't be able to escape a catastrophe.

The next day, the offensive and defensive sides still fought fiercely for a whole day, and the casualties of the Jingzhou army even exceeded the previous day, and of course they also inflicted great casualties on the central army.

However, the bed crossbows and trebuchets that defended the city were basically destroyed, and the three walls of the city also collapsed in many places.

That night, it rained lightly in Gangneung City, and the weather in Jiangnan was exactly like this, once it rained, it was rainy and continuous.

However, Lu Bu did not stop attacking the city because of the rain, anyway, the firearms of the Central Army were not afraid of the rain.

On the third day, the siege was even more violent, and the number of people invested was larger, and the Jingzhou army defending the city gradually stopped supporting as the rain increased.

Even the arrows of the crossbow were gone, and the string of the longbow was weakened by the wet weather.

The walls on three sides were attacked by the central army, and the Jingzhou army began to retreat into the city, apparently intending to fight street battles.

The central army rushed to the city one after another, which was a huge military feat, and naturally everyone was vying for the lead, and many troops rushed to the city without stopping.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there is a tendency to escalate into torrential rain.

Zhuge Liang felt that it was a little easy to capture the city wall today, and he was a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from.

Lu Bu happily watched the central army pouring into Jiangling City, Liu Bei's destruction was imminent, and he had one less strong opponent, and he was a three-kingdom-level hero in history.

At this moment, the messenger of the navy came, and Li Meng asked Lu Bu, because the rain increased and the river swelled, should the warships of the navy directly attack the south city gate, and let the soldiers of the navy also participate in the siege and share the pressure from other directions?

Lu Bu was on the rise, and when he heard that the navy wanted to participate in the siege, of course he would not object, so he nodded in agreement!

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Zhuge Liang on the side suddenly realized in his heart, he slapped the table, "It's not a good thing, lord, let the soldiers withdraw from Jiangling City, let the soldiers in the camp immediately move to a high place, and let the navy prepare to save people!" ”

"Pang Tong is crazy, he wants to flood Jiangling!"

When Lu Bu heard this, his brows furrowed, "Flooded Jiangling? But in addition to the enemy and our two armies in the city, there are also hundreds of thousands of people, and Liu Bei and Pang Tong don't care about it? ”

"Lord, if you don't do this, they won't be able to defend Jiangling either, and those people will only become our people, how can they care? Pang Tong only seeks results, and he doesn't care about these fetters. ”

"Well, what Kong Ming said is reasonable, quickly send the order down, transfer the camp, be fast, keep the people and the war horses, don't want the things first!"

The military order is like a mountain, and the three large battalions of the Central Army immediately began to get busy, and half of the troops are still resting in the camp!

The heralds began to relay the latest military orders to the troops who were besieging the city, and the call to retreat began to sound over Gangneung Castle.

However, the besieging armies were subordinate to four or five divisions, and everyone wanted to share in the credit for the siege, and no one refused to lag behind, so it could only be the result of a compromise with half of the men.

At this time, the city wall has been broken, and everyone is eager to make meritorious contributions, and many troops have chased into the city.

At this moment of confusion, a loud bang was heard in the southwest of Gangneung City, and the sound of a large number of explosives being detonated together was heard.

The earth trembled inside and outside Gangneung Castle, and then there was a sound like a tsunami of mountains and horses, as if thousands of troops were rushing from afar.

Observing the battlefield from a high place, Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang and others, who were commanding the battle, looked far away, but saw a white dragon rushing from the southwest of Jiangling City.

The monstrous waves set off waves several stories high, covering the sky and catching people's eyes.

Hong Feng came extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he slapped heavily on the western wall of Gangneung City.

After being attacked for many days and soaked in rain for another day, the western wall immediately collapsed in many places, and the entire wall was repaired by huge cracks.

The flood roared through the collapsed mouth into Gangneung Castle.

Lu Bu's face was already pale, and he could see with his naked eyes that many soldiers of the Central Army were swept away by this wave.

"Quick, order the Yangtze River Fleet to go all out to save people and sound the assembly call!"

The long rallying cry sounded in this heaven and earth, this horn can pierce the clouds and split the sun, and the loud noise brought by the flood cannot suppress it, it has added a will and courage to every officer and soldier of the Central Army inside and outside Gangneung City out of thin air!

When the flood came, the Jingzhou army, which had already been prepared, launched wooden boats, small boats, and more well-built rafts and bamboo rafts from various hidden places in Jiangling City.

The water level began to rise rapidly, and they climbed up one by one, and most of the Jingzhou troops were still landlubbers.

However, the Jingzhou army had wooden boats and rafts, and was not afraid of floods, but the more than 100,000 people in Jiangling City were not prepared at all.

Those who were slow to react, who had no strength, the old and weak, women and children, were killed and injured countless times when the flood peak came.

Even if those hands and feet hurry up and climb to the roof, or on top of the big trees, they are alone, watching the water rise little by little.

After the city gate was broken by artillery, it had already been blocked with boulders and sandbags, and even if he wanted to open the city gate, he could not do it.

There are many officers and soldiers in the Jingzhou army who are natives of Jiangling, and when they see the suffering of their hometowns, especially the unknown life and death of their own families, how can they give up?

This time, Pang Tong's plan was highly secretive, and many low-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers were kept in the dark.

So when the disaster happened, these Jiangling officers and soldiers hated Pang Tong and Liu Bei to death, and seeing that they had been prepared, this was deliberate.

They completely ignore the life and death of the people of Jiangling, how can there be such a black-hearted lord and military advisor in the world?

So when those middle and lower-level officers stopped these Jiangling soldiers from saving people, many soldiers directly rebelled and slashed the commander who blocked them to death!

They snatched the raft and went to save their families, and naturally there were disagrees, and the two sides were killing each other.

There were also some good-hearted officers and soldiers who ignored the opposition of the generals and rescued the refugees who had fallen into the water.

Liu Bei, Pang Tong, Guan Yu and others had already gotten on the prepared boat, and Pang Tong also issued a military order for the officers and men of the whole army to take the opportunity to kill the Central Army.
