The 60,000 horses of Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan waded across the river together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lei Bo looked at Zhang Xun and looked nervous, and laughed loudly: "General Zhang, Wei Yan is just the son of a county lieutenant, what can he do, our 60,000 soldiers will definitely capture it when we go to Runan!" ”

Zhang Xun was still a little uncertain in his heart: "Then Wei Yan can develop into such a force in nine months, it should not be underestimated!" ”

Chen Lan also smiled disdainfully: "Wei Yan was able to develop so rapidly, but it was only through Liu Biao's power and some conspiracies!" ”

Zhang Xun asked, "But why was he able to defeat Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's 30,000 horses?" ”

Lei Bo laughed contemptuously: "It was not Wei Yan who was defeated, but Zhang Xiu's 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, besides, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are good at naval forces, and they are not good at land warfare, so it is normal to be defeated." Our Huainan army, the soldiers are brave and brave, how can they be compared with Cai Mao and Zhang Yun! ”

Zhang Xun asked again: "Then how should he explain his defeat of Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, and Yu Ban?" ”

Chen Lan said with a smile: "It is rumored that Yu Ban and Man Favor were bought by Wei Yan and took refuge in Wei Yan, so Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong were able to fail, and you and I are loyal to the lord, who will take refuge in the son of a county lieutenant?" ”

Hearing Lei Bo and Chen Lan say this, Zhang Xun was also relieved, maybe Wei Yan came to this point, relying on some intrigues and tricks that could not be put on the table, and his real military talent was very low.

In the end, no longer doubting, he ordered the whole army to cross the river.

The water is very wide, the people behind have already gone into the water, the people in front have not yet come ashore, when crossing the river, they shout horses neighing, the momentum is huge, can be transmitted to several miles away.

The water was not deep, but there was silt at the bottom of the river, and it was difficult to walk, and after walking for two quarters of an hour, no one had come ashore.

But at this moment, suddenly, there was a loud sound of landslides and ground cracks from upstream, booming.

Yuan Jun hadn't reacted yet: "Thunder? ”

"What kind of thunder is there on this sunny day!"

Zhang Xun was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw!" They are flooding! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a monstrous wave sweeping from the upstream of the Huaishui River a few miles away.

The flood was out of control, almost completely submerging the army of 60,000.

At this moment, Zhang Xun suddenly became vigilant, it turned out that the Wei army had already prepared, but he was afraid that the villagers in those villages in the upper reaches of the Huaishui were faked by the Wei army, and the ditches that diverted were all fake, and the Wei army had already blocked the Huaishui, and when they shouted to cross the river downstream, they would drown them in the water.

He had now reacted and given the order, but it was already a little late, and the more than 10,000 people closest upstream were already submerged in the water, churning with the raging river, struggling desperately.

Zhang Xun hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and run to the Taiping Ferry on the opposite bank downstream, where the terrain is high and the water is gentle, so you can avoid being flooded!" ”

Those Yuan troops, who had not yet been flooded by the river, desperately ran to the Taiping ferry on the other side of the river.

It turned out that in the past few days, the mountain rain was pouring, but in a mountain forest in the upper reaches of the Huaishui, thousands of Wei troops fought day and night to build a levee to block the Huaishui, forming a dammed lake.

At the same time, the people of some villages were forcibly relocated by the Wei army, who disguised themselves as ordinary people and made the illusion of breaking the embankment for irrigation.

When the upstream Wei army heard the neighing of horses from a few miles away, and knew that the Yuan army was crossing the river, they dug the embankment, and the monstrous waves swept down, out of control.

Before that, those villagers had already evacuated the high places of the road, and only the Yuan army, who did not know the truth, marched the river, caught off guard in the face of the surging waves.

After a flood, more than 40,000 of the 60,000 Yuan troops were submerged, and only more than 18,000 people ran to the Taiping Ferry.

When Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan converged, they all looked like chickens in soup.

Lei Bo shouted angrily: "Wei Yan'er, you are really cunning! It is really contemptible that you don't dare to confront us in a dignified manner, and you should use such a trick! ”

Just after he shouted, as he wished, suddenly from the mountains on the north bank of the Taiping Ferry, two men and horses, one side was the general Wen Ping, the other was the general Ban, the two of them each brought 5,000 men and horses, outflanked them.

Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan wanted to retreat south, but it was no longer possible, the Huaishui water rose sharply, and it was impossible to cross the river without a boat, not to mention that Gan Ning, the general of the Wei army, led 5,000 sailors, crossed the boat, went down the river, and salvaged the captured Yuan soldiers.

was really forced to be helpless, Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan had no choice but to fight against the water.

The battle is a classic battle between Qin and Han, Han Gaozu three years, the Han army and the Zhao army fought, Han Xin took advantage of the Zhao army commander Chen Yu's heart to light the enemy, set down the soldiers' taboo back water array, advocated the soldiers to fight bravely in order to escape from death, and transferred two thousand light cavalry to take the opportunity to seize the Zhao army camp and plant the Han flag in the barracks. When the Zhao army wanted to go back to the camp to rest for a while, he was surprised to see that the camp was full of Han army flags, thinking that the Han army had captured all the kings and generals of Zhao State, and the general trend had gone, so the army was in chaos, fled one after another, and scattered in a hurry.

If Han Xin is reborn and leads the Yuan army, there is still room to return to the sky, but what is the ability of Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan, besides, the cavalry of the Yuan army was also washed away by the flood just now, and the most important thing is that most of the soldiers and soldiers of Yuan are young and strong who were looted, and they were doused by a monstrous flood, and they became unmorale.

When Wen Ping and Yu Ban 10,000 elite soldiers outflanked them, the 18,000 Yuan troops were defeated after a short period of resistance, and they were simply collapsed at the touch of a button, most of the Yuan troops surrendered on the ground, most of them were farmers, they had long heard of Wei Yan's name of benevolence and righteousness, and they had long wanted to take refuge under Wei Yan, but they were wrapped up by Yuan Shu's original men and horses, and they couldn't escape, and now they had the opportunity to surrender, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered without thinking.

Fifteen thousand of the 18,000 people surrendered voluntarily, which is enough to see how unpopular Yuan Shu is in Huainan, and it can also be seen that Wei Yan's propaganda work in Huainan in the past few months is still in place.

Lei Bo wielded a big knife to face Wen Ping, originally his strength was close to 80, and he was able to fight with Wen Ping for more than a dozen rounds in normal times, but now he has no fighting spirit and panicked, and he walked less than three rounds in front of Wen Ping's horse, and was knocked to the ground by Wen Ping, and the left and right soldiers stepped forward to capture him.

Chen Lan walked less than five rounds before the ban on horses before she was captured alive by Yu Bansheng.

Only Zhang Xun, under the sworn defense of his own soldiers, fought his way out of a bloody way and fled downstream.

At the same time, Ganning's navy has successively salvaged more than 20,000 Yuan troops, these Yuan soldiers grew up in Huainan, where there are more water nets, most of them can swim, although the monstrous waves came, at first they were stunned, but then the survival instinct made them struggle to climb onto the ships of Ganning's navy.

Only less than 10,000 Yuan troops were drowned or washed downstream and disappeared.

After the war, the two sides of the Huaishui River were full of desolation, but not many civilians suffered, because in the past few months, through the persuasion and deception of those secret agents sent by Wei Yan to Huainan, most of the people on both sides of the Huaishui River have quietly moved to Runan or Yiyang, which is also the reason why Wei Yan dared to flood the water.

……

At this time, Cao Cao's army was in the water.

Zhang Xiu of Wancheng was helpless and asked Jia Xu for a plan.
