Chapter 128: Flooding Changyi

When Zhuge Jin came to Changyi, Changyi Taishou was still fighting to the death with Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun provoked outside the city, but Changyi was too guarded to be fooled, so he didn't go out of the city to fight.

In the end, there was nothing to be done, so Zhuge Jin offered a plan to divert the water of the Surabaya River to flood Changyi. It happened that the rainy season had just passed, and the Surabaya River swelled, so Zhao Yun led his troops to dig the Surabaya River, and then dug the river to the edge of Changyi City.

Looking at a rushing river that was dug up to the edge of Changyi City by an army of nearly 10,000 in less than a week, Changyi Taishou knew that he had met an opponent. Looking at the people in the city, and then looking at the north, there was still no news of the reinforcements in the north, and finally Changyi Taishou gritted his teeth and asked for surrender for the people of the city.

The strategy of flooding Changyi made Zhuge Jin's reputation great, and this twenty-year-old young man made Yanzhou firmly remember his name in his first battle.

In Changyi City, there are more and more soldiers and horses outside the city, and it seems that Cao Cao's vanguard troops have all opened outside Changyi City. Looking at the banners of Cao Bing outside the city, Zhao Yun's forehead was soaked with beads of sweat.

"Third uncle, the enemy has come, why don't you tell Marshal Lu the news?"

Zhuge Liang raised his head and talked about leading his troops to fight, as if he could always say words that were extremely inappropriate for his age. After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, Zhao Yun remembered that he hadn't informed Lu Bu yet!

Lu Bu is a moth, if he doesn't tell him, maybe he will wear small shoes for himself again.

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand and passed the herald beside him, and the herald walked to Zhao Yun's side and knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen the general!" ”

Zhao Yun motioned for him to get up, and then said, "I will send this letter to Rencheng later, and then tell Marshal Lu the news of Cao's soldiers going south." ”

The herald promised, and Zhao Yun asked Zhuge Jin to write a battle report and hand it to the herald. After the herald went down, Zhuge Jin was busy next to him to offer advice: "General, although Changyi City is tall, if you encounter Cao Cao's elite troops, if Marshal Lu can't catch up with the reinforcements, you can't hold it for a long time." ”

Zhao Yun looked outside the city, it seemed that the Cao soldiers outside the city had begun to gather at the edge of the city. Do they want to salute before they soldiers? This untrustworthy Cao Cao, Zhao Yun doesn't seem to want to talk to them at all!

Zhuge Liang next to him looked at Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun's face was a little serious, and he didn't smile at all. Maybe he was too nervous, the first time he led his troops to face Cao Cao's brigade head-on, you must know that the flying general Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao!

"Third uncle, Marshal Lu's army and horses can't arrive in time, if the surrounding cities are breached, Changyi will become a lonely city!"

Kong Ming reminded him again that it was okay for Zhao Yun to lead the troops to charge into battle, but he was too young to say that he wanted to command the whole army and arrange the troops and horses.

Listening to Kong Ming's words, Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Zhuge Jin, these two brothers were both resourceful people. Zhuge Jin also seemed to understand the meaning in Zhao Yun's eyes, and hurriedly said: "The last general is willing to lead his troops to garrison Liangqiu City, and General Li Dian has already turned around under Marshal Lu, and General Zhang Liao has broken through Jinxiang City. At that time, the three cities will be horns of each other, and they will definitely be able to hold out until the arrival of Marshal Lu's army! ”

Zhao Yun nodded, and Zhuge Jin hurriedly said goodbye and left. Seeing that Zhuge Jin was gone, Zhuge Liang hurriedly sorted out his clothes and followed downstairs.

Today's Zhuge Liang has not personally led the troops, he just came out to train the troops. So now, he is under the account of his brother Zhuge Jin.

After the two Zhuge brothers retreated, Zhao Yun was stationed on the city wall alone, looking at the more and more Cao soldiers outside the city, and estimated that there were at least nearly seven thousand people.

Noon arrived, and the city of Changyi in the north was still a little hot. A sultry feeling swept over Changyi, letting Zhao Yun know that it wouldn't be long before Changyi was going to experience a storm.

After Zhuge Jin left Changyi, he kept running to Liangqiu City. At this time, nearly a thousand Cao soldiers had gathered outside Liangqiu City, and Zhuge Jin encountered a small group of Cao soldiers on the way to Liangqiu, but fortunately, Zhuge Jin defeated them. When I arrived at Liangqiu, I saw reinforcements coming, and the thousand-strong Cao soldiers withdrew.

Cao Cao's pioneers rushed to the city of Changyi in the evening, and a round of sunset red sun gradually disappeared in the sky, and the weather was not so hot.

Through the identification of the banner of Yanzhou outside the city, Zhao Yun recognized that the vanguard leading the troops on the opposite side was Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun. Xiahoudun was extremely brave, but he was not in a hurry to attack the city when he first came, but the general horse was stationed outside the city without any movement, so that Zhao Yun couldn't guess what he was doing.

At night, the stars fill the sky. There was no moon, and although the night was still a little hot, the soldiers still stood on the city wall one by one and looked out of the city, not daring to be careless.

Sure enough, just as the night was getting deeper, suddenly a sharp sound in the night sky crossed the sky, and thousands of arrows suddenly flew towards the city. The soldiers on the city wall were defenseless, and there were many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou who were hit by arrows.

"There's a night attack, there's a night attack!"

After nearly a few dozen soldiers fell, the surviving soldiers hurriedly beat drums to alert others. The sound of drums shook the night of Changyi, and also knocked on the new houses of the people of Changyi.

They knew that Changyi was going to war again, the country was prosperous, the people were suffering, and the people were suffering. In any case, the common people are insignificant lives in this world, especially in this chaotic late Han Dynasty.

Hearing the sound of drums, Zhao Yun hurriedly led his troops to catch up with the wall. At this moment, the person in charge of defending the city is still Changyi Taishou, who was originally a bureaucrat in Yanzhou, but after surrendering, he became an official in Xuzhou.

As soon as Zhao Yun arrived at the top of the wall, there was already an earth-shattering shouting of killing on the city wall. Standing on the city wall, there is a sea of torches outside the city, and the sound of arrows whizzing around you is endless. Zhao Yun shot down a few arrows, and Changyi Taishou ran over and shouted with a panicked face: "General Zhao, the enemy is attacking the city!" ”

The situation was a little urgent, Zhao Yun nodded and said, "It's okay, pass the order down and stick to the city!" ”

Taishou retreated, Zhao Yun ordered the crossbowmen to fight back, and for a while, the rain of arrows in the sky shot down from the city, and the cries of ghosts and wolves were heard from time to time under the city.

The soldiers rushed to the city, which was a little dark and could not see the number of enemies, so Zhao Yun ordered the rocket to be released. Ignited rockets flew down from the city, and Zhao Yun looked at it, and the city was already densely packed with soldiers.

"Throw the tubing!"

Zhao Yun gave an order, and the soldiers in the city hurriedly lifted the jars one by one and threw them towards the city. Pots of thick vegetable oil fell under the city and broke, and some small jars were smashed on the soldiers, and the hard armor made the soldiers splash with grease.

When dozens of small tubing were thrown, Zhao Yun asked the soldiers to shoot the rocket, and as soon as the rocket landed, a raging fire broke out under the city. The fire in the place where there was oil was getting bigger and bigger, and those soldiers who were stained with oil were also struggling in the fire one by one. The consequence of the struggle can only be that more soldiers are ignited by the fire.
