Just when the Central Navy was busy rescuing people, a scout came to report that it was a convoy coming up against the current from the east side of Gangneung, but it was the naval army of Soochow, but they all flew white flags.

Li Meng was puzzled, so he sent someone to inquire, it turned out that Zhou Yu sent to save people, they were all some fighting ships and boats, and they didn't carry weapons, so they waved a white flag to show friendship!

When Li Meng heard this, he also nodded and praised, but Zhou Yu's move was a good thing, and he was worried that the strength to save people and disaster relief was insufficient, so he would come to help him in the snow.

Li Meng agreed that the Eastern Wu Naval Army would save people with him, and transferred some of the rescued Jingzhou Army officers and soldiers who were willing to go back to the Eastern Wu Naval Army, and the Eastern Wu Naval Army also handed over the Central Army officers and soldiers they rescued.

In the face of the disaster, the two armies that fought to the death a few days ago are now working side by side to save the dead and help the wounded, which reflects the humanitarian spirit and also shows Zhou Yu's lofty demeanor and broad mind.

The Central Army stationed outside Gangneung City, especially those cavalry units, was originally far away from Gangneung City, and there was nothing cavalry to do to attack the city, and they were mainly responsible for the vigilance and scout work on the periphery.

In order to make it easier for the horses to graze, the camps where they were stationed were generally on higher ground, and the grass on the hillsides was more lush.

After receiving Lu Bu's military order to transfer, although he was puzzled, he was very resolute in his execution.

Therefore, there were almost no losses of personnel and horses, but some equipment and grain and grass were not transferred in time, and there were many losses.

The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 1st Divisions, all of which were infantry, were camps stationed around three walls about ten miles outside the city.

The terrain outside Gangneung is generally low, and when the flood comes, half of the troops are attacking the city, and the other half are preparing for the siege in the camp.

Half of the troops in the camp received the order to move and began to move.

However, the flood came so fast that many people were swept downstream by the flood before they could climb on trees or hold on to a buoyant object.

The troops who were besieging the city, especially those who had climbed the walls, were fortunate to stand on the top of the city, because the higher terrain had a chance to breathe.

When the Jingzhou army appeared in small boats or rafts, many officers and men of the Central Army also robbed many boats and rafts of the Jingzhou army.

Because their muskets were still good and could shoot from a distance without having to swim closer.

Of course, all the officers and soldiers of the Central Army who were rescued in the end had to thank Lu Bu for forcing everyone to learn to swim, and he was required to learn it mandatorily.

When the water level was at its highest, the Lou boat also sailed into Jiangling City to rescue people, and many rescued officers and soldiers of the Central Army and the people of Jiangling were also transferred to the Lou boat.

In order to be able to carry more people, the trebuchets and bed crossbows on the old-style building ships were dismantled and thrown into the river.

Only the guns of the new-style building ships were too precious to be thrown away.

Man-made floods come and go quickly, after all, there are many lakes around Gangneung, and even Yunmengze is connected to the east.

So a few hours later, when the torrential rain gradually stopped, the water level also began to drop, and the boat was forced to return to the Yangtze River waterway, and only the boats below the fighting ship continued to save people in Jiangling and its vicinity.

Just when Lü Bu was about to leave Jiangling on a naval warship and go to the new assembly site of the Central Army, someone came to report that they had captured a general of the Jingzhou Army, and he asked to see Lü Bu himself before he would explain his identity and intentions.

Lu Bu met with this person very curiously, of course, after the body search.

The person who came was a military general about forty years old, but he had never met him.

When this person heard that the big man in front of him was Lu Bu, he quickly knelt down on one knee and performed a courtesy of paying homage to the lord, indicating his identity, but it turned out to be Yan Yan.

It turned out that Yan Yan couldn't accept Liu Bei and Pang Tong, this kind of unscrupulous behavior for the sake of victory, and even more intolerable for them not to cherish the people and act recklessly.

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation when he broke through separately, he was deliberately captured by the Central Army and asked to see Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu heard that it was Yan Yan, he was very happy, and after hearing his intentions, he welcomed him even more, and allowed him to personally participate in the rescue of the people of Jiangling, and personally feel the biggest difference between the Central Army and Liu Bei's gang.

The Central Army regrouped at Zhijiang, and Lü Bu led many senior generals and staff officers to the new camp first.

Lu Bu did not rest, and personally participated in the construction and preliminary preparation of the new camp.

The powerful medical system of the Central Army also began to show its efficiency at this time.

The 15th Division, the Navy, and the cavalry divisions, which had not been affected by the disaster, sent their medical personnel to new camps.

He began to receive and treat the wounded of the Central Army and the Jingzhou Army, as well as the people of Jiangling, who were constantly being sent in.

A large amount of grain, grass, baggage, camp tents and other items were also sent to the new camp in Zhijiang in a steady stream.

Many of the injured were treated, regardless of their status.

Many Jiangling civilians who were not injured, but were frightened and fell into the water, officers and soldiers of the Central Army, and even prisoners of the Jingzhou Army were taken care of and received.

The soaking wet people changed into dry clothes and ate hot meals in the clean and tidy tents.

Although the tent was a little crowded, the food was simpler, and the clothes were thinner, it was really much more comfortable and restored.

After receiving an urgent military order of 100,000, the logistics department of the Central Army was also transporting all kinds of urgently needed materials from Nanyang and Yizhou to the front line.

The 16th Division and the 1st Garrison Division also quickly moved closer to Zhijiang to take over the losses and frightened troops and take up the task of alerting.

Lu Bu was in the newly built tent, looking at the casualty statistics compiled by the various troops in front of him, and his hands were trembling slightly.

The greatest loss in the history of the Central Army was born under the city of Gangneung.

The 2nd Division confirmed 1,500 killed, 2,000 wounded and 2,000 missing.

The 3rd Division suffered 2,000 killed, 1,500 wounded and 2,500 missing.

The 5th Division suffered 2,000 killed, 2,000 wounded, and 1,000 missing.

The 7th Division lost 1,000 killed, wounded 1,000, and 2,500 missing.

The 1st Rong Division suffered 1,500 killed, 2,500 wounded, and 2,000 missing.

The special operations division suffered 300 killed, 1,500 wounded, and 1,000 missing.

The 2nd Garrison Division suffered 1,000 killed, 1,500 wounded, and 1,000 missing.

The 1st Cavalry Division suffered 300 killed, 500 wounded, and 500 missing.

The 3rd Cavalry Division lost 200 killed, 500 were netted, and 300 were missing.

Since the flood water has not completely receded, people in the city are still being rescued, and many soldiers of the Central Army have been washed away by the flood, and these missing people are not necessarily dead.

However, the sum of these confirmed deaths alone has created the highest number of single-day casualties in the history of the Central Army's warfare, 9,800.
