Chapter 242: Tragic Situation After the Water

Guo Jia told Zhao Yue about the battle report from Cao Ren in front of him, and did not hide anything during this period, and asked Zhao Yue what he thought of this battle report.

Zhao Yue listened very carefully in the process, for fear of missing any important link.

According to what Guo Jia said, Cao Ren is trapped in heavy rain at the moment, if there is no surprise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer Shouchun City, he has not been to Shouchun, and he does not have too deep understanding of the geography of Shouchun, so at this moment, he just shook his head and told Guo Jia to let General Cao Ren do his own thing, and not use troops easily.

After Guo Jia got Zhao Yue's reply, he just smiled slightly, then said a few words of greeting and left.

Back in Cao Cao's mansion, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia what he meant, and Guo Jia told him what he really thought in his heart.

"Lord, in my opinion, General Cao Ren and Xun Wenruo must already have a strategy to break the enemy at this moment, we just have to wait for the good news ahead."

Cao Cao wanted to ask again, but seeing that Guo Jia was silent, he could only laugh and laugh because of his face.

On the front line of Shouchun, it was the day, the sky was gloomy, like a tengu eating the sun, the wind and clouds were changing, and the heavy rain was whistling and falling on the ground, like a curtain of water.

Cao Ren and Xun Yu saw that the situation was very good on the mountain, so they ordered people to climb the high lookout platform, and ordered the soldiers by the Huai River to take the sandbags and water the Shouchun City with water.

The soldier had barely ascended the wooden tower when he heard a thunderclap in the sky, and his feet slipped and he fell from the high wooden tower, grinning in pain.

When Cao Ren saw this, he couldn't help frowning, ordered someone to take him back to the tent for medical treatment, and ordered others to go up and give an order.

Watching the second person cautiously climb the height in the wind and rain, Cao Ren asked Xun Yu on the side in a low voice: "Military advisor, our plan has been decided, but the herald soldier fell to the ground due to thunder, and had to return to the account, what is the sign?" ”

Xun Yu frowned, according to the hexagram, the thunder is a fictitious thing, and the heavy rain is the reality of the weather, and the soldiers who used the strategy have already climbed the wooden building, but they are injured because of the void, which is really unfavorable.

However, at this moment, when the success was lost, Xun Yu didn't want to stop there, and made unfavorable words to persuade Cao Ren to withdraw his troops, so he just said kind words to appease: "The two armies are facing each other, why should the general ask about this god and ghost?" ”

Cao Ren was ashamed, so he could only keep his mouth shut.

I saw that on the high platform, the thin soldier faced the storm, struggling to wave a big flag, and a moment later, the waves visible to the naked eye in the distance gushed out from the Huai River, and poured straight into the low-lying terrain of Shouchun, and spread to the city, like thousands of water dragons breathing, and the fury of the heavenly prince helped!

On Shouchun City, all the soldiers of the Sun family panicked, all of them looked at each other, their legs trembled, and they couldn't walk anymore.

"This, this, this...... What is this, is there a flood! ”

"Oh my God! Water is pouring in through the gates! ”

Downstairs in the city, the soldiers who were patrolling were also panicking. The news quickly reached Sun Quan's ears, he didn't care about wearing the robes handed over by Zhang Zhao, so he plunged into the city at once, the streets were already like rivers, standing on the ground, and the water had already overflowed his calves.

The people in the city also came out of their homes, the women were holding their infant children with desperate faces, the sturdy men rolled up their sleeves, and carried the elderly with impaired mobility on their backs, and many of them had tears on their faces, and they couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain.

"Open the gates, let us out, we don't want to be drowned!"

"Please, let us go!"

There was a wail in the city, and Tai Shici and other three generals hurriedly stabilized the morale of the army, anxious that the soldiers would control the people in the city, because the water outside the city was even more terrifying!

Seeing this, Sun Quan looked up to the sky and wept, and sighed: "My brother entrusted me to guard this city, but now the flood is trapped, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Hong walked with difficulty from the treasury of Shouchun City, and the neighborhood was chaotic, and the noise of people had drowned out the sound of rain.

"Taishou! Lord Sun Quan! Before Zhang Hong entered, he shouted loudly: "For today's plan, it is better to open the arsenal, carry the people with the ferries in the city, and then transfer the rest to the houses. ”

Although Sun Quan was sad, he did not panic in his heart.

After all, Shouchun is close to the Yangtze River, and there are still a few ferries in the treasury, although the number is not as large as Jiangdong Jianye, but it can also solve the urgent need at this time.

The young Taishou immediately took Zhang Hong's suggestion, so it took most of the day's work to finally move the people to the roof of the houses in the middle of the night, and a small part of them sat firmly on the boat, and then tied the boat to the eaves of the roof.

The night was thick, and there were faint lights and candles on the roofs of the houses in Shouchun City, and the people leaned on each other to eat a few pieces of bread to satisfy their hunger. The rain was a little lighter, but it didn't stop, and the wind was loud, which made the people feel bone-chilling, after all, it was the end of autumn, and the temperature at night was always very cold.

As Zhang Hong said, the water in the city has risen to the position under the eaves, which is roughly the same as the outside of the city, even so, the city defense of Shouchun is not completely paralyzed, and the soldiers are still stationed on the city tower, as for the transmission of news and the delivery of food, it is by boat.

Have you ever tried to take a boat ride on the water high above the house, and the high castle tower feels like the shore?

Sun Quan, who was still young, tried it for the first time.

If Cao Ren and Xun Yu came to attack at this moment, then Shou Chuncheng would definitely be easy to break.

However, at this point in this march, Cao's army did not prepare ferries and other things, even if there were so many soldiers in the army, they could not swim across this ocean like this. Flooding the city with water was Xun Yu's temporary intention, so at this moment, Cao's army could only wait for the water to recede before attacking.

In this big flood, all the buildings in Shouchun City will be soaked in water, and the money and grain, weapons, and city defense equipment that have not had time to be transferred will also be soaked into waste.

Xun Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but smile, when the water receded, I am afraid it will be the day when Shouchun changes hands!

On the other hand, Sun Quan, who was sitting above the Taishou Mansion and looking at the desolate scene of the people of Shouchun, gritted his teeth, as if he had a firm idea.

He could suddenly feel the presence of his eldest brother, and he could understand why his eldest brother asked him to come here to guard and why he wanted to exercise his fighting skills.

Only by being proficient in war can we quell war!

Sun Quan decided that after the water receded, he would use his strategy to force the enemy to retreat, and he would not dare to attack Shouchun for half a step!

Thinking of this, Sun Quan actually let out a wry smile, he turned his head to look at Zhang Zhao, and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Zibu, how is my strategy better than Xun Yu?" (To be continued.) )
