Chapter 372: Another Failure
At this time, there are less than 100 people under the embankment who are still doing the final excavation, these people are people who have lived by the river for a long time and are familiar with the nature of water, and they are also the most likely to escape in such a situation, but Lu Xun knows that it is very difficult to survive under the breaking of the embankment of such a turbulent river, but for the survival of Jiangdong, he must decide this, and they must do the same.
Facts have proved that those Jiangdong sergeants who are doing the final excavation did not disappoint Lu Xun, although they knew that they were very likely to face the situation of nine deaths in the next second, but the strength in their hands was not reduced at all, and their eyes were full of determination, obviously in the hearts of these sergeants, it was very worthwhile to exchange their lives for the forty or fifty thousand lives of Zhuge Liang's army.
Under Lu Xun's intently watchful gaze, finally, only a loud "......bang" was heard, and without warning, the turbulent and turbid river water was like a giant beast out of the cage, pouring directly into the already dry river from the wide channel they had dug up, and then went straight to the depression not far away like a meandering dragon.
"Zhuge Kongming, this time, see how much else you can escape!" Lu Xun knew that at the speed of the water that had just burst the embankment, it would soon reach the depression, and there were too many soldiers gathered in the depression, and in a hurry, coupled with the mud formed by the rainfall, it would be even more difficult for Zhuge Liang's army to retreat from the depression.
"Order, march in the direction of this current, and prepare for battle!" His task has been completed, Lu Xun immediately ordered everyone to go to the depression from the direction of the water flow, he wanted to give Zhuge Liang's army a fatal blow in the rear, under the front and back of the river and the Jiangdong army, Lu Xun believed that even if Zhuge Liang had the ability to reach the sky, it would be difficult to retreat.
The water soon arrived in the depression, waiting outside the depression, Lu Meng, looking at the light in the east that was about to move, still waiting for the chaotic sound to appear in the woods, but after another half an hour, he still did not wait for the result he wanted, his heart was no longer as confident as before, but frowned and wondered if there was something wrong, but unfortunately, he seemed to have grasped something, but he couldn't analyze it thoroughly, so he could only continue to wait.
Finally, Lu Xun hurried to the area, but the scene presented in front of him at this time also made him a little overwhelmed.
I saw that on the rapidly rising water level, there were dozens of flames floating densely packed with extinguished torches, which made Lu Xun a little overwhelmed for a while, and his mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing various possibilities.
Judging from the number of torches, it is indeed consistent with what the sergeant who fled back before, but now, although the water level has risen to more than one person's height, it is still impossible for Lu Xun to believe that all these tens of thousands of people are submerged in the water.
"What if there is no one in this water?"
Suddenly, such a terrible thought came into Lu Xun's mind, and then it was out of control, Lu Xun's breathing gradually became faster with this thought, and beads of sweat welled up on his forehead, but it was soon washed down by the pouring rain.
Indeed, what he thought of was that this was most likely another conspiracy of Zhuge Liang, and they and Lu Meng were once again tricked by Zhuge Liang.
What the wounded sergeant saw in the wind and rain was just a flickering torch, he didn't see it clearly, and it was impossible to see Zhuge Liang's army in the depression, and now the torches floating in the water can just show that it is just what Zhuge Liang wants the sergeant in Jiangdong to see, and letting him go back to his barracks is not that he is blessed with a great life, but that Zhuge Liang needs such a person to report the news, these torches here are the real suspicious soldiers, when the wounded sergeant saw it, It was true that there were very likely torches in the place, but it was certain that after convincing the sergeant to believe it, they left, leaving behind only a large number of extinguished torches.
"It's not good, quickly go around the woods and inform Ziming of the situation here!"
Lu Xun, who had just reacted, hurriedly led the army out from the side of the woods, but fortunately, at this time, the sky was not as dark as before, and Lu Meng vaguely recognized the color of his sergeant's armor, so he did not release the arrow.
"What's wrong?" Opinion Lu Xun rushed out eagerly, Lu Meng's heart sank, at this time, there was still no figure of Sergeant Zhuge Liang, which had already made Lu Meng suspicious, which confirmed his worries.
"There is only a pile of useless torches left in the depression now, which shows that Zhuge Liang just used a trick to lure both of us here, and it has been delayed for nearly two hours, I am afraid that it is ...... in the camp."
Lu Xun already regretted it at this time, but the matter had come to this point, and it was obvious that he had to rush back to the camp, otherwise not only would the camp not be preserved, but I was afraid that later Zhuge Liang would capture several cities in the middle and periphery of Poyang County in one go, and at that time, the two of them would be very passive.
"Bo Yan don't worry, I came to consider what happened, I have already sent Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and the two led the army to defend to the death, even if Zhuge Liang has forty or fifty thousand elite soldiers, it is impossible to break through our camp in such a short time, we are waiting for the formation, don't panic, otherwise even if you rush back to the camp, it will be difficult to fight with Zhuge Liang, who has already been arranged."
In the face of the change, Lu Meng's calm side finally came into play, and at the moment he strictly ordered his sergeants to line up, although they could not rush back to the camp as quickly as possible, but they could arrive with the strongest combat effectiveness, so that even if Zhuge Liang attacked the camp, he could fight with it, and maybe he could retreat, as for whether Lu Su came, they naturally had no time to care about it at this time.
Fortunately, this place is not far away, a straight official road, leading straight to the place where the camp of the two is located, one of them is in front, one is behind, controlling the soldiers in the array, and hurried to the camp.
Just as they were walking eagerly, what they didn't know was that behind an inconspicuous hill in front of them, there was a dense army under Zhuge Liang's command.
Zhuge Liang's plan is not to attack the camp, but to intercept and kill!
At this time, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu were both behind the hill, just as a scout reported back: "Sergeant, Lu Meng led the army back in a hurry, and he will arrive here after a stick of incense, but ......"
