Chapter 486: The flood surging through Fancheng

After several days of pouring rain, Yang Yansi led the Han army to withstand the wind and rain, constantly bombarding the walls of Fancheng. After a few days www.biquge.info the foundation of Fancheng has been loosened, and there are traces of damage in many places, coupled with the heavy rain washing, there are grooves on the city wall in many places, and the cracks are shocking.

Later, Liu Wei ordered the soldiers and horses to dig a secret passage in the army, leading directly to the city of Fancheng and destroying the foundation under Fancheng. Jingzhou Bing still didn't notice.

At first, the Jingzhou soldiers in the city didn't care, but when the damage to the city wall reached this point, the Jingzhou soldiers panicked, and hurriedly invited Huang Zu, Wen Ping and other generals to the city, Huang Zu saw that the city wall was so badly damaged, and saw that the Han army under the city was still destroying, and couldn't help but scold: "The Han army is crazy, so wind and rain, and destroy my Fancheng?" Don't want to die? ”

It is true that the Han army withstood the wind and rain, and many soldiers were infected with wind and cold, but fortunately, Liu Bianjun had a famous doctor invited by the Tai Hospital, and as soon as the soldiers returned to the barracks, they were served by ginger soup, so there were not many soldiers infected with wind and cold.

Wen Ping and the other generals looked at the destruction of the city wall, and they were also a little worried, Wen Ping couldn't help but say: "It's raining heavily, and the Han army is bombarding the city wall with the washing of the rain, so the effect is remarkable, and I don't know how long it will rain this heavy rain, if the Han army still destroys the city wall like this, I'm afraid that it will take ten days and a half months, and I really have the worry of collapse?"

"Hmph, the Han army is so crazy, the sergeants and soldiers of his army are only afraid that they are all infected with the wind and cold, let alone ten days and a half months? Liu Bian's discussion of Yuan Weiwen has been released for nearly a month, right? All the princes are waiting to take the lead, he doesn't fight Yuan Shu, he desperately beats us? What is this called? Huang Zu said angrily when he heard this.

"Hey, our Fancheng is a knife hanging over the head of the Son of Heaven, if he doesn't pull out Fancheng, where will he dare to fight Yuan Shu. I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven is really ruthless and wants to attack our Fancheng! This is a problem. Wen Ping said worriedly.

Wei Yan on the side arched his hand: "No matter what, we must not let the Han army continue to destroy the city wall." If you sit idly by, or in a few days, Fancheng will be bombarded by them. The general and my 500 cavalry, I went out of the city to kill the Han army and destroy the trebuchet! ”

Huang Zu also knew that the Han army could not be allowed to continue to destroy, and the five hundred cavalry was harmless, as long as it was not out of the city to fight in a big way, it would not be considered to violate Liu Biao's order, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

Wei Yan immediately led 500 cavalry out of Fancheng, and the Han army was all foot soldiers, and they were wearing hats, but they were not the opponents of the cavalry. However, Liu Wei was already prepared in the Han army, and ordered Yang Miaozhen to take five hundred cavalry to meet him.

"Seventh brother, you retreat with the foot soldiers first, and I'll stop them!" Yang Miaozhen saw Yang Yansi and immediately said. Yang Yansi was not ambiguous, his infantry was not able to fight at all, and he was bound to suffer heavy losses if he was caught up by the cavalry, so he did not postpone it.

Wei Yan took the cavalry to pursue the Han army's foot soldiers, Yang Miaozhen took the cavalry and Wei Yan's cavalry to meet in a narrow way, Wei Yan saw Yang Miaozhen and a female streamer, and laughed: "I, Wei Yan, don't kill the female stream, you quickly retreat."

Yang Miaozhen's willow eyebrows were raised: "I am Yang Miaozhen, the general of the Han Guard?" Do you dare to underestimate me? If you don't kill me, I'll kill you! ”

"What kind of guard general, how powerful can a female streamer be!" Wei Yan looked down on Yang Miaozhen, Yang Miaozhen snorted coldly, and stabbed at Wei Yan with a shake of the pear flower gun in his hand. Wei Yan's face was full of disdain, but this shot stabbed him, but it startled him, and he hurriedly greeted him with a knife.

Wei Yan stuck a knife on the small branch of Yang Miaozhen's pear flower spear, and finally resisted the path of the pear flower spear. But he didn't want Yang Miaozhen to turn his wrist, the pear flower gun quickly brushed the long knife and still stabbed towards Wei Yan, Wei Yan hurriedly turned his head away, but he only felt a tingling pain on his face, and when he touched his hand, it was bright red in one hand.

"Ding, the system detected Yang Miaozhen's current force of 98, the pear flower spear plus one, the wind horse plus one, Wei Yan used a long-handled broadsword, the grandmaster attribute was activated, the force was added 2, and the current force was 102. Wei Yan, 97 in force, 93 in commander, 56 in intelligence, 48 in politics! ”

Wei Yan underestimated Yang Miaozhen, but finally paid the price, and was broken by Yang Miaozhen under the carelessness of the enemy. Wei Yan was furious, and immediately raised his sword to fight with Yang Miaozhen, and the two fought for more than 20 rounds. Wei Yan knew that it was not Yang Miaozhen's opponent, so he pulled out his horse and walked away.

As soon as Yang Miaozhen wanted to catch up, the sound of Mingjin retreating from the Han army sounded in the village, and Yang Miaozhen did not chase and returned to the camp with the cavalry. The Han army retreated to the camp safely, but the trebuchet could not be taken away, and dozens of trebuchets outside the four gates were destroyed by Wei Yan taking the opportunity.

Yang Miaozhen, Yang Yansi returned to the camp, Yang Yansi couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, why did you Mingjin withdraw the troops, I was about to lead the troops to kill?" Now that the trebuchets have been destroyed by Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, how can this be good? ”

"Everything is in moderation, and the trebuchet bombardment of Fancheng has reached the expected standard, and because of the heavy rain, the effect is better. What's more, I secretly let the soldiers and horses dig a secret passage to the bottom of Fancheng. The Jingzhou soldiers in the city were afraid, so they sent troops to kill and destroy the trebuchet, let's continue to put the trebuchet under the city, and they will also find a way to destroy it. Liu Wei explained in a deep voice.

"Enough of the destruction of the walls? Isn't that enough to flood Fancheng? Yang Yansi's eyes lit up and asked.

Liu Wei turned his head and asked Guo Jia, Liu Yu and the others: "After several days of heavy rain, can the people in the flood area be relocated?" Deyu, the hoarding of water in various rivers is enough to flood Fancheng? ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has taken thousands of troops to move the people in the rain for several days, and has moved all the people in the low-lying places to higher places!" Even if the flood hits, there will be no danger. ”

Liu Wei nodded with satisfaction and looked at Liu Yu again, Liu Yu arched his hand and said: "In the past few days, the water level has skyrocketed, according to my years of experience, in the past few days, the heavy rain can wash away the embankment, and the accumulated water is enough to flood Fancheng."

Liu Wei nodded and said, "Now that the people have been relocated and the flood is ready to go, then Fu Youde and Liu Yu will listen to the order!"

"The last general!" The two of them stepped forward.

"In the past few days you have built enough rafts for 30,000 people, and tomorrow you will select men from among the army who are good at water warfare to ride on the ships. Our army is stationed on high ground, and when the flood comes, you will come by boat to meet you. Liu Wei ordered.

"No!" The generals took orders.

Early the next morning, Fu Youde and Liu Yu selected 3,000 soldiers who were good at water warfare in the army and went to the place where the ships were built in Shuishui. And Liu Wei led the main army to the high places to set up camp.

The Jingzhou soldiers in Fancheng got the news and hurriedly went to report to Huang Zu and others, and several people climbed to the top of the city to take a look, only to see that the Han army that was originally stationed in the flat and low-lying area had all moved to a high place, and white cloth bags stood on the hills everywhere. Huang Zu was puzzled: "Why did the Han army move to a high place overnight?"

"It's been raining heavily for a few days, maybe it's too much water on the flat bottom! That's why they moved to higher places, right? Wen Ping guessed.

"No, no, it's been raining heavily for a few days, but I look at the left and right Xiangshui, but the water level has not changed much. This is obviously unreasonable! Wei Yan on the side said in a deep voice.

Huang Zu's eyes widened: "You mean that the Han army has cut off the river upstream and is already accumulating floodwaters." It's not good, the Han army has been attacking our Fancheng for several days, if the flood hits, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to protect the worry of collapse! ”

Everyone couldn't help but shudder, if the flood hit and Fancheng was destroyed like this, could it be stopped? Wei Yan hurriedly said: "General Huang, right now, our army should quickly withdraw from Fancheng and retreat to a high place to station!" If the flood hits, it will be difficult for us to save the army from being destroyed. ”

For a time, Wen Ping and Huang Zhong also suggested withdrawing from Fancheng and retreating to high places.

Huang Zu was quite puzzled: "My Fancheng City has deep walls and is on high ground, and it has been raining heavily for a few days, so it is about to clear up, right?" Even if the flood hits, it should be able to hold on, right? Besides, my food, grass and baggage are also in the city, and if I give up Fancheng, I am afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience. ”

When the generals heard what Huang Zu said, they actually wanted to guard Fancheng, and they couldn't help but be startled, Wei Yan persuaded: "The Han army has built ships again, and bombarded and destroyed the city wall, obviously to attack my Fancheng with water!" The general must prepare in advance, the water and fire are ruthless, if the monstrous flood hits, it will be difficult for our army to be annihilated. ”

"Don't worry, Ben will lead the sailors for many years, and this Fan City can be defended! You don't have to worry! What's more, what Wen Chang said was just speculation, and the Han army did not necessarily attack Fancheng with their hands. Huang Zu said confidently.

Hearing Huang Zu say this, a few people had no choice, but after Wei Yan, Wen hired Huang Zhong and others to go down, they sent people to demolish houses to raise timber and build boats and rafts for emergency use.

The next day, the dikes built by the rivers finally stopped holding on, and the flood finally leaked. The small rivers flow into the big rivers, and the rivers are connected, and the rivers burst their banks everywhere, and the floods are overwhelming from high to low rushing towards Fancheng.

The earth trembled, like an earthquake, and the sound of thousands of troops galloping here was far worse than the torrent crashing. Even the mountain peaks were washed by heavy rain, and the sound of collapse sounded, the entire mountain peak collapsed, and the mudslide merged into the flood, leading the river to be dirty.

However, after a while, the flood flooded everywhere from the height to the bottom, and the Han army was also submerged under the high place. Fortunately, the high ground where the Han army was stationed was high enough, and the flood in front of him was not very deep, so there was no worry about flooding. The flood gradually flooded everywhere, and the Han army also sailed in to meet the boats, but after a while, all the Han troops were safely connected to the ships.

And outside Fancheng, there is also a surging flood, overwhelming floods, a large Fancheng, at this time seems to be a flat boat in the torrent, is so lonely and powerless.

Although the four gates of Fancheng were closed, the flood still seeped into the city through the cracks in the city gates. Although the water level inside and outside the city is different, the city wall was seriously damaged, and Liu Wei secretly ordered the army to dig tunnels under the city, I am afraid that the collapse of Fancheng is doomed.

The flood water rises higher and higher, and if it is visible to the naked eye, you can see several passages connecting the underground of Fancheng in the camp where Liu Wei was stationed in the low-lying place, which has been filled with floodwaters, and the flooded underground in Fancheng City has also been broken by the flood and directly connected to the underground tunnel.

Following this breached passage, the flood water rushed directly over the city wall and into the city. Even because it was surrounded by city walls, Fancheng became a bucket, and the water could not seep out, but rose higher and higher, gradually equaling the height of the flood outside the city.
