Chapter Seventy-Eight: Desperate Survival
The next day, Jia Xu led people to withdraw from Yecheng overnight, Lu Bu attacked the coalition camp overnight, trying to do the last wave of impact, attracting the attention of Cao Jun, making Jia Xu's road unimpeded, at dawn, Jia Xu had already led the army to withdraw from Yecheng, but did not see Lu Bu, and hurriedly summoned Ma Dai to ask: "Where is the lord?" ”
"Still pinning down Cao Jun in the rear!" Ma Dai bowed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What!?" Jia Xu's face changed, and he said sharply: "It's not good, the water source in these **** Guancheng is exhausted, there must be someone throttling above Zhangshui, and wants to pour Zhangshui into Yecheng, Cao Cao has built an earthen village in the past few days, it is to prevent water attacks, and the lord is still staying in Yecheng at the moment, which is dangerous!" Send someone to inform the lord quickly! ”
As early as a few days ago, Jia Xu saw that something was wrong, the water source in the city was depleted day by day after flooding the tunnel dug by Yuan Shang, Jia Xu thought that someone wanted to annihilate Lu Bu in one fell swoop with a water attack strategy, and recently watched the camp built by Cao Cao, which confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and reminded Lu Bu that Yuan Cao's coalition army had besieged the city, Yuan Shang did not know it, and tried his best to block the connection between Lu Bu and Jia Xu, Jia Xu even sent someone to shoot a letter overnight in the hope that it could be obtained by Lu Bu, but it was in vain, last night Lu Bu came to communicate with a small eagle, Jia Xu didn't have time to think about it, Only two words were written - quick retreat.
Who knew that Lu Bu would be wrong, in order to protect the soldiers and horses in the city to be able to quickly retreat, he actually led the army to attack the joint camp, if it was on weekdays, it would be fine, with Lu Bu's ability, without Yecheng's concern, no one could stop him if he wanted to go, but the water and fire were ruthless, under the power of heaven, I knew whether Lu Bu could escape this catastrophe safely.
When Ma Dai heard this, his face changed greatly, and he didn't have time to agree, so he hurriedly rode his horse back in the direction of Yecheng.
"Ma Tie!" A cold look flashed across Jia Xu's face.
"The last general!" The young Ma Tie also felt a little nervous at this moment, Lu Bu is the whole Yongliang and the sky, if Lu Bu is gone, this day will fall, he doesn't even dare to think down If Lu Bu is gone, what will they do next for the generals under Lu Bu?
"Bring people, come with me!" Jia Xu said with a cold face.
"Uh...... Where to? Subconsciously, Ma Tie asked a lot of questions, but he was greeted by Jia Xu's cold gaze.
"Go find the culprit!" Jia Xu snorted coldly, and when he was talking at this moment, the cold aura emanating from his body was that even Ma Tie and Jiang Yin, these fierce generals on the battlefield, couldn't help but shudder, this is the first time I know that it turns out that literati can also reveal this terrible aura.
Outside Yecheng, Cao Cao stood on the lookout and watched Lu Bu lead the soldiers and horses to gradually break away from the battle group, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise, if Lu Bu fled, wouldn't the big plan that Fengxiao had begun to arrange since March be in vain?
"Lord, look!" The day was already bright on this matter, and Yue Xi suddenly pointed in the direction of Yecheng and exclaimed.
"Huh?" Cao Cao subconsciously looked at the past when he heard this, the lookout platform was two zhang high, plus the foundation of one zhang high, it was basically the same as the city wall of Yecheng, and turned his head to look at it at this moment, but saw the figures on the wall of Yecheng, at this moment to see what kind of soldier was in the past, it was clearly a straw man wearing armor, and his face couldn't help but change: "It's not good, Jia Xu saw the clue!" ”
"Boom~"
The sky was overcast, there was a faint roar of thunder on the horizon, and there was a breath of overtime in the air! Cao Cao was not surprised when he saw this: "Quick, send orders to all departments and return to the camp!" ”
"Whoa!" Yue Xi nodded when he heard this, raised his head and blew the horn.
"Woo woo woo ~ "
The desolate sound of the horn resounded in the four fields of Yecheng, and Cao Jun, who was entangled with Lu Bu, heard the horn and quickly retreated, pouring into the high platform like a tide.
"What's going on?" Yuan Shang was still rushing to kill with his soldiers and horses, and when he heard the sound, he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of Cao Jun's retreat.
"Oops!" Lu Bu's heart suddenly sank, and he turned his head to look at Xiongkuohai and said, "Where is Chen Dang." ”
"Lord, the last general!" In the crowd, a military general hurriedly stepped forward.
Chen Dare is Lu Bu's general, when Jia Xu asked Lu Bu to pay attention to Zhangshui, he was afraid that Cao Jun would destroy Lu Bu with a water attack strategy, Lu Bu took Chen Dare as a general, and has been patrolling upstream, and now he has been impounded by people to attack the city, when Jia Xu's letter was sent, Lu Bu also thought about the water attack strategy, but he had arranged someone to inspect in advance, and it was impossible that there was no news at all, so he didn't take it to heart, who knew that Jia Xu's worries that day were finally fulfilled.
"I haven't seen it in days, but every day there will be news back to the camp." The majestic sea said in a deep voice.
"Let's go!" Lu Bu's heart sank, needless to say, Chen was sure that something had happened, the roar coming from the distance was definitely not some thunder, like a galloping horse, and at this moment, he didn't care about continuing to entangle with Yuan Shang, and fled from the direction of Yecheng with Xiong Kuohai and Zhou Cang leading the army, no matter what, save your life first.
"Lord, where are you going?" Xiong Kuohai followed Lu Bu and asked puzzledly.
"Go to a high place, quick, go and bring it to me." Before the two armies fought, Li Ru naturally couldn't go into battle, so he was arranged to dispatch in the rear.
"Boom~"
At this moment, the thunder in the sky seemed to be clearer, and at the same time, Lu Bu was in a commotion, many slave soldiers pointed to the rear and shouted in shock, Lu Bu subconsciously turned his head to look over, but saw a row of floods and silver mountains of snow pressing towards this side.
Lu Bu suddenly changed color, and on the other side, Yuan Shang's face also changed greatly, he was closer to the direction of the flood than Lu Bu, and Cao Jun had a high barrier to block the flood, but Yuan Jun was exposed to the flood without cover.
"Quick, return to the camp!" Yuan Shang finally knew that he had been calculated at this moment, damn Cao Cao, but he didn't care about continuing to complain at this moment, and hurriedly commanded his soldiers to rush to the high platform.
"Shoot the arrows!" Xu Huang, who was guarding the camp, looked at the Yuan army surging like a tide, a touch of indifference flashed in his eyes, and the raised right arm waved down fiercely, and the Cao Jun crossbowmen who had already prepared let go of the full bowstring, and for a while, the arrow clusters fell down towards the defenseless Yuan army like a dark cloud, and pieces of Yuan Jun fell to the ground with a wail.
"Cao Cao!!" Seeing this, Yuan Shang didn't know that he was yin by Cao Cao this time, any attack on the enemy must be saved, all of them were deceitful, Cao Cao simply wanted to serve Lu Bu with himself, and frantically pointed at Cao Cao and said sharply: "Kill me!" Only by killing it can you survive! ”
"Lord, run away!" Gao Ran escorted the trial, rode his horse to Yuan Shang's side, and said urgently.
At this moment, Yuan Shang can also see clearly, escape? Where to flee? Yecheng is built on the bank of Zhangshui, not to mention horseback, unless it grows wings, how can it escape the overturning of the flood?
"General Cao, I'm willing to surrender, please let us in!" A group of Yuan soldiers saw the flood coming, and they shouted hoarsely.
The surrounding Cao Jun soldiers subconsciously looked at Xu Huang.
"Shoot the arrows!" Xu Huang looked at these Yuan Jun indifferently, without the slightest pity.
Thundered~
I saw that the momentum of the flood was extremely fast, and the weak galloping horses had surged to the front in an instant, and where they passed, a large area of Yuan Jun was instantly swept in.
The surging flood slapped fiercely on the camp built by Cao Cao, the earthen village was designed by Guo Jia to ask the master, not only added a special liquid to solidify the soil, even the catapult could not collapse, but also a complete set of flood discharge settings, even so, at the moment when the flood slapped on the camp, still let the whole village shake, as if it could collapse at any time, many Cao soldiers were not well prepared, and were directly shocked from the top of the stone platform, splashing a splash was swallowed up by the surging flood in an instant, so that many Cao soldiers were shocked to change color.
Cao Cao held Diao Dou with his hands, his body shook violently a few times, and his face was pale, looking down at the moment, he saw that the first camp had been washed away nearly half, but it also helped Cao Cao block the impact of the flood, so that the other two camps could be preserved, looking at it, Yuan Jun who had just been crying wolf howl, at this moment only Yuan Jun who was piled up in front of the camp was killed by the flood, Guo Jia had accumulated nearly three months of Zhangshui at this moment, once it broke out, it was incomparable, and the impact alone was enough to shoot people to death. The walls around the entire military camp were full of stumps and broken arms, most of them belonged to the Yuan army, but there were also many soldiers of the Cao army who were accidentally swept in, and their souls were scattered under the squeeze of the water and the fortress.
Seeing the water gradually slowing down, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, this time, in order to annihilate Lu Bu and Yuan Shang in one fell swoop, he did not hesitate to use himself as bait, put himself in danger, and lured Lu Bu to take the bait.
"Quick, faster!" Ma Dai led the men and horses all the way towards Yecheng, and when he arrived outside Yecheng, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The flood waters had receded, and as far as the eye could see, there were corpses all over the ground.
"Will ...... Checkmate! The lieutenant swallowed, frightened by the scene in front of him.
"Quick, find someone!" Ma Dai trembled, and his voice was also a little afraid, but in this moment, he had seen the corpses of many slave soldiers, and an unspeakable fear rose in his heart, if Lu Bu really died here, then everything would be over.
"Generals, they are all slave soldiers, and the body of the lord has not been found." The reports around kept coming, and it was a good thing that Lu Bu's body was not found, but Ma Dai's heart sank little by little, just looking at the mess all around, he knew how terrible this flood was, and what Ma Dai was most afraid of was that he would not see people alive or dead.
"Look for it again!" Ma Dai looked around with a cold face, and when he looked at the hill not far away, his heart moved, and he said sharply: "Quick, go there and have a look." ”
"Yo~"
Suddenly, an eagle's cry in the sky caught everyone's attention.
"It's the lord's condor!" Ma Dai showed a look of ecstasy on his face, and hurriedly led the men and horses to gallop in the direction of the eagle circling, which was the hill that Ma Dai had seen before.
At the same time, as the flood waters receded, Cao Cao's side also stabilized.
"Xiaoxian, quickly bring a group of men and horses to pick up the army division and come back!" Cao Cao came down from the lookout, and he didn't care about counting the casualties, so he hurriedly said to Mao Jue.
"Whoa!" Mao Jue took the order and left.
"Lord!" Xiahoudun and Xu Huang came to Cao Cao's side, and behind the two, several soldiers carried a general of the Yuan army, and when they looked closely, they found that this person was actually Gao Lan.
"Why is he here?" Cao Cao was a little surprised.
"This person is also alert, when the flood came, he took Yuan Shang and the trial to hide in the back of the camp, and the last general remembered that he had fought side by side with us, and he couldn't bear to see him die, so he rescued him, and asked the lord to forgive him." Xu Huang said in a deep voice.
"Gongming got a general for me, what is the crime?" Cao Cao laughed loudly.
"Yo~"
At this moment, the sound of an eagle crying in the distance attracted everyone's attention, Cao Cao turned his head to look, but saw a white eagle hovering above the hill not far away, his face couldn't help but change, it seemed that when the flood hit, Lu Bu retreated in that direction.
"Yuan Rang, gather the people and follow me!" Cao Cao's face sank, and he shouted.
"Whoa!" (To be continued.) )
