712, Zhuge Liang flooded Fancheng, Cao Zixiao galloped to the ban

When Cheng He heard this, he couldn't help but change his face, and looked outside in a panic, "General, the flood is coming, and I don't have a boat, so won't I sit here and wait for death?" Please also ask the general to make a quick decision and return to the city as soon as possible! ”

However, Cheng He thought that Yu Ban would be just as panicked at this time, but he found that Yu Ban was looking at him calmly, and then walked out slowly.

"Cheng joined the army, it's not that I don't understand the art of war, this is Mr. Feng Xiao's plan, and you will understand later."

Cheng He looked at Yu Ban suspiciously, he really couldn't understand what strategy was to put the army in this kind of death.

As the rain became heavier, the water of the Xiangjiang River rushed out, not only the Yankou River, but even the Fancheng City had been flooded a lot, and the water outside the city was a few feet deep, but Qin Zhao had already prepared the boat, and all the soldiers had already boarded the boat, Qin Zhao's Wushuang Army seemed to have become a sailor at this time, and slowly rowed towards the Yankou River.

It didn't take long for the heavy rain to finally stop, and the Wushuang Army had already come to the side of the Yankou River, Qin Zhao stood on the bow of the boat, and shouted to Yu Ban on the Yankou River: "Yu Ban Xiao'er, now you are at the end of your rope, just like the fish in the water has entered my net, if you don't surrender quickly, when will you wait!" ”

At this time, Yu Ban looked at the neat navy of the Wushuang Army, and his heart was also a little empty, but thinking of Pang Tong's strategy before, he had a lot of self-confidence, he laughed, and then ordered: "Archers prepare, release arrows!" ”

At the sound of an order, the Cao army on the earth mountain was condescending, and began to take bows and arrows one after another, and shot towards the fleet of the unequaled army. Qin Zhao knew that with the long-range suppression of the crossbowmen, he had no way to do anything about Yu Ban now, but Yu Ban's bow and arrows were limited after all, as long as they were consumed, Yu Ban would still have no way out.

Therefore, Qin Zhao led the army to constantly approach away from Tushan, and Yu Ban's archers did not dare to be negligent, and kept on guard and shooting to resist the attack of the Wushuang Army.

At this time, Cheng He had been watching the actions of the Wushuang Army, he didn't know what Pang Tong's plan was, he just couldn't help but say worriedly: "General, if it goes on like this, when the arrows are exhausted, it will also be the day when we will be captured!" ”

Yu Ban naturally knew this situation, but he believed in Pang Tong's arrangement, and he believed that reinforcements were about to arrive.

"Soldiers, don't mess up your position, General Zhengnan's reinforcements will arrive soon, just hold on a little longer! After a while, it will be time for us to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions and break the enemy army! ”

Listening to Yu Ban's confident words, his soldiers were suddenly full of confidence and shouted in unison. Cheng He just frowned, and wanted to ask in his heart: With such a big water, even if Cao Ren sent an army to rescue, how should he save it? Moreover, when Fancheng asked for help before, Cao Ren did not have extra troops to send out.

After a few more hours, the arrows of the Yu Ban army finally ran out, and Qin Zhao's Wushuang army finally began to besiege the Tushan Gao, where Yu Ban was stationed, just now the Wushuang Army was shot by the arrows and could not fight back, and now it was just the opposite, the Cao army standing on the high place of the earth mountain was like a target, and was shot indiscriminately by the bow and arrow of the Wushuang army, even if their hit rate on the ship was greatly reduced, but it still brought great damage to the Cao army.

Under the command of Yu Ban, Cao Jun has found a place to hide, but this dirt mountain is so small, Cao Jun has 5,000 soldiers and horses, many people have no way to escape, under the threat of death, many people accidentally fall down the mountain, directly into the rolling flood, shouting after a while with the current drift into the distance.

Yu Ban's face was solemn, if the reinforcements didn't come, it wouldn't be long, even if they could still get away with it, the army would never have the slightest fighting spirit.

At this moment, the soldier standing at the highest place suddenly shouted: "General, a large number of small boats are coming, it must be the reinforcements of General Zhengnan!" ”

Hearing this, the morale of the Yu Ban army was suddenly boosted, and they cheered in unison.

At this time, Qin Zhao naturally saw another fleet approaching, and she hurriedly went to ask Zhuge Liang in the cabin to come out. Zhuge Liang looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is the intention of Yu Ban to move troops to Kouchuan." He saw through my plan, but he deliberately stationed troops in the Yankou River, and he wanted to use Cao Ren's army to surround us and destroy our army here in one fell swoop! ”

After hearing this, Qin Zhao couldn't help but look at the Yu Ban army in the distance, "Will this Yu Ban child have such a trick and courage?" But I underestimated him. ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Yu Ban This person is strategically prepared, loyal, disciplined, and righteous in every battle, often as a commander, strong and strong, although he is a good general, but he is by no means a person who can have such courage, I expect that there will be a master in the forbidden army to help him." ”

"What should we do now? Although my Wushuang army is brave and good at fighting, but it can't play its strength at all on the water, if the Xiangyang Navy attacks, our army will not be an opponent, and when the time comes, I will be slaughtered by others! ”

Qin Zhao was still more worried about the current situation.

"Don't worry, general, now order the army to retreat slowly, as long as you retreat to the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River and abandon the boat to go ashore, Cao Ren will definitely not dare to chase after him at that time. I have already informed General Qi and Zhou Dudu a few days ago that as long as they can bring their naval troops to kill them at that time, then Cao Ren will be merely enough, what is the way? ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't figure out why Yu Ban would suddenly move his troops, but only recently did he notice that Yu Ban's soldiers and horses had prepared a lot of arrows, and he figured out the key to this problem, so he immediately sent people to Qi Jiguang and other sailors to ask for help.

"It's just that we have to wait until General Qi's army comes here, will the time still be in time?"

Now that Cao Ren's army is close at hand, Qin Zhao doesn't dare to fight Cao Ren's army at this time, so she can only slowly retreat. If it was to wait for Cao Ren's army to catch up, the Wushuang army would never be able to get out again.

As he was talking, he found that all the ships of the Cao army were speeding up, and all the soldiers who were shaking seemed to have begun to release all their strength at this moment, and all the soldiers were shaking together, and Cao Ren's sailors were actually approaching the Wushuang Army at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's not good, the enemy is coming prepared!"

Only then did Qin Zhao discover the problem, the Peerless Army was not a real naval army after all, and in the face of the enemy's ready charge, it would not take long for the Peerless Army to be caught up by the enemy. Qin Zhao knew that there must be a clever commander among the enemy's naval army, and what he knew was Shi Lang, the most powerful in the water battle in Xiangyang.

The one who commanded this support army must be Shi Lang.
