Chapter 613: The Flood
When the last rays of the remnant sun were finally swallowed up by the undulating mountains, the sky finally began to darken, and the foothills of the mountains were gradually shrouded in a vast twilight.
Zhang Bao was dressed in black iron armor, standing on a boulder with a sword, his expression was indifferent, the dark cloak made a rattling sound in the fierce wind, and the bearded Han Dian Wei held two double iron halberds, standing behind Zhang Bao like a fierce god~
"Report~~" A terrible wolf howl pierced the sky, and a fast horse galloped from the official road, and only stopped the horse before rushing up to the boulder, and said quickly, "General Jiang Yu is urgent." ”
Zhang Bao said with a fierce expression: "Speak!" ”
"General Jiang Yu has already dug through most of the Yihe embankment, as long as he chisels through the last layer of embankment, he can release water!"
"yes, got it!" Zhang Bao said in a deep voice, "Tell General Jiang Yi that without General Ben's military order, it is strictly forbidden to dig embankments and release water, and at the same time send troops to patrol the west bank of the Yi River, beware of leaking the news!" ”
Zhang Bao can't help but be guarded. This plan is about whether Chen Liu, with a team of cavalry, can obtain Chen Liu, in case the news is leaked, everything will be in vain~
"Yes."
The herald said yes and took the order.
"Report~" The herald had just left, and another fast horse galloped over, "Lord Qi, General Xu Chu has led five thousand iron horsemen to Goji County!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Bao bowed his head lightly and said in a condensed voice, "What is the form of Wenhe's over there?" ”
"Mr. Wenhe trapped Cao Ren with suspicious tactics, Cao Jun did not dare to act rashly for the time being, General Yu Shi has personally led 10,000 troops to support Mr.~"
"Good! Revisit! ”
"Yes!"
The herald took the order and departed.
Zhang Bao suddenly looked back, his eyes fell on Xun Zheng, and he said in a condensed voice: "Xun Zheng, how is Cao Jun's service prepared?" ”
Xun Zheng hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the villain personally led two hundred brothers to capture more than 100 Cao Jun and get more than 100 sets of Cao Jun services. ”
"Good!" Zhang Bao said with an awe-inspiring gaze, "Now you have personally selected twenty clever brothers, put on Cao Jun's service and go to Chen Liucheng to report to Li Dian, telling him that Cao Ren has been killed in battle, and General Ben has personally led the army to attack Yang County." Most of the grain and grass left by Chen were hoarded in Wolf County, so Li Dian would inevitably lead the army to rescue! ”
Xun Zheng clenched his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
"Dian Wei." Zhang Bao Huoran looked back and said to Dian Wei, "Blow the trumpet, the whole army will attack!" ”
"Woo woo~~"
Suddenly, the long and long sound of the horn sounded in the mountains, and in the sound of the horn, a full two thousand heavily armored iron horsemen surged out of the dense forest between the mountains, advanced to the wide official road to form a black cavalry phalanx, and then swept towards the pipeline ahead.
。。。。。。
Chen Liu, too guarded mansion.
Since Cao Ren led an army of 15,000 to aid Xuchang, there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses left in Chen Liucheng from Li Dian and Li Tong, and only Shi Huan and Han Hao's 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Wolf County.
On this day, when Li Dian was worried about the war in Xuchang, a small colonel suddenly entered the hall panting and said quickly: "General, out ~~ something big has happened." ”
Li Dian's heart jumped, Huo Ran stood up, and said sharply: "What's wrong?" ”
The little colonel's face was anxious, and he said in a trembling voice: "General Cao Ren's fifteen-thousand-strong army has been trapped by the Yellow Turban Thief Army!" ”
"What?" Li Dian was taken aback, grabbed the collar of the little school, and yelled, "Is this true?" ”
Xiao Xiao Xiao said in a trembling voice: "It's true. ”
"General Li Dian! Where is General Li Dian? ”
The little colonel's voice fell, and a panicked voice suddenly sounded outside the hall, and the figure at the door flashed, and the figure of a bearded man covered in blood had hurried in, and he knelt on the ground and said urgently: "General Li Dian, General Cao Ren's fifteen-thousand-strong army was trapped by the Yellow Turban Thief, General Cao Ren struggled to resist and was beheaded and killed on the spot by the thief General Dian Wei!" ”
"What?" The news of Cao Ren's death in battle was obviously more shocking to Li Dian than the news that Cao Ren was besieged, and Li Dian said angrily, "Who are you? Is your message true or false? ”
The bearded man said: "The villain is the commander of the team under General Cao Ren, and he came to report the news at the risk of death. General Cao Ren ordered that General Li Dian must not lead the army to rescue without authorization! You need to stay in Chen and wait for the reinforcements of the lord! ”
Li Dian believed half of this bearded man's words, and if he urged Li Dian to lead troops to rescue, Li Dian said that he would not be killed on the spot!
"General Li Dian, where is it? Something is wrong! ”
The bad news seemed to come one after another, and the bearded man who claimed to be the commander of Cao Ren's team fell, and Shi Huan's figure had already hurried in, and he said quickly: "General Li Dian, the county is in an emergency!" Tens of thousands of thieves attacked Wolf County! ”
"The thief army attacked Wolf County?" Li Dian seemed to have become numb, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "How many thieves are there?" ”
Shi Wan said urgently: "Damn, the mountains are full of people, and the minimum is not less than 30,000!" General Han Hao is defending the city to the death, please ask General Li Dian to send troops to rescue! ”
Li Channel: "General Li Dian, the county can hoard our army's grain and grass, and if the county is lost, Chen Liu's fear will not be able to hold it!" ”
Li Dian looked embarrassed, on the one hand, the matter of Wolf County is very important, but on the other hand, Li Dian never believed that Zhang Bao had so many people, he had just surrounded Cao Ren, how could he attack Wolf County again in the blink of an eye? This must be Zhang Bao's trick. But what Li Tong said is right, Wolf County can't be lost!
"General Li Tong!" Li Pawn immediately said, "Immediately lead 5,000 people and go with General Shi Huan to rescue Wolf County!" ”
"General Li Dian!" Shi Wan said urgently, "The Yellow Turban thieves all over the mountains have at least 30,000 subordinates, how can only 8,000 people rescue Wolf County?" General, the county must not be lost! ”
"Calm down!" Li Dian shouted angrily, "All of Zhang Bao's soldiers and horses will definitely not exceed 20,000 people, the army you see all over the mountains must be Zhang Bao's bluff, 8,000 people will definitely be able to guarantee the safety of Wolf County!" ”
Li Tong persuaded: "General Shi Huan, Chen Liu's remaining guards are only 20,000 horses, and Chen Liu also needs to defend, General Li Dian's mobilization of 8,000 people is already the limit!" ”
Shi Huan also knew about Chen Liu's situation, so he had no choice but to agree.
However, Xun Zheng's pretended to be Cao Ren's handsome team had an imperceptible joy in his eyes, and Shi Huan's request for help saved him the danger of leakage.
。。。。。。
Cao Cao's mansion.
A slight sound of footsteps woke Cao Cao from his contemplation, Huo Ran turned around, and Guo Jia had quietly entered.
"Lord, Zhang Bao really made a feint to attack Wolf County and lure the soldiers and horses of Manchester City out of the city to rescue!"
Cao Cao's emaciated figure trembled slightly, and a deep look of pain faintly flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference, and he said in a low voice: "Are you all ready?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord." Guo Jia said, "General Xu Huang has been arranged to go, and this matter is foolproof!" ”
"Well, that's great." Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said in a condensed voice, "There is another thing to remember in serving filial piety, Zhang Bao is cunning and unusual, and our army must prepare for the worst." ”
"Don't worry, my lord." Guo Jia said, "If Zhang Bao is lucky enough to avoid flooding, he will definitely rush to Guandu Port in a panic, and he has ordered Zheng Hun and Yu Ban two generals to lead the army to attack Guandu Port in a starry night of 3,000 stars!" This time, Zhang Bao will let him shed his skin even if he doesn't die. ”
。。。。。。
The Yihe embankment has been carved a big gap, only the last thin layer of embankment remains, the turbidity inside the dam is monstrous, wave after wave of flood peaks violently hit the embankment, the wooden piles supported outside the dam swayed slightly, that situation, it seems that it may collapse at any time.
Jiang Yi's 500 people guarded not far from the gap, just waiting for Zhang Bao's order to burst the embankment and discharge the flood!
The night is like ink, and I can't see my fingers.
Jiang Yu was leading dozens of Yellow Turban troops to patrol along the embankment on the west bank, the roar of the river covering up all the sounds in the world, and the burning mutton fat torches could only illuminate the space around a dozen paces away.
"Whoa~~"
The waves of the Yi River slapped against the West Embankment one after another, making a rhythmic lapping sound.
"That's not right!" Although he couldn't hear anything, he couldn't see anything, but the alert Jiang Yu still heard a trace of strangeness from the sound of the waves hitting the embankment, and turned his horse back to the two soldiers behind him and said, "You two, get off the horse and take a look, there is something wrong with the sound of the waves hitting the embankment." ”
"Yes, General."
The two soldiers dismounted and walked towards the embankment with torches.
Before they reached the inner edge of the embankment, two soldiers suddenly shouted: "What man...... Uhh ”
"Woohoo!"
Two sharp arrows swept under the night sky, and in an instant they pierced the throats of the two soldiers, and the terrible howl stopped abruptly, and the torches in the hands of the two Yellow Turban soldiers fell, hitting the ground and bursting into a shining spark.
"Not good, enemy attack!" Jiang Yan was taken aback and snorted sharply, "You two immediately go to report to the lord, and the rest of the brothers, come with General Ben and drive these despicable sneak attackers into the river to feed the fish~~ Kill!" ”
"Kill, kill, kill~~"
Dozens of Yellow Turban cavalry followed behind Jiang Yu, fearlessly facing the unknown enemy army in front of him, and not far from the camp next to the gap, more than 400 Yellow Turban soldiers also woke up from their sleep, and the soldiers who had never taken off their armor quickly turned over and rode their horses to help the battle.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Yellow Turban cavalry led by Jiang Yu rushed into the middle of the black-pressed enemy army.
。。。。。。
On the official road from Chen Liu to Guxian County, Li Tong and Shi Huan led 8,000 people to rush to the rescue of Guxian County, but they met Zhang Bao, who was already waiting here. Xu Chu's army, the two armies met and the flames of war ignited in an instant~
"Kill!"
Shi Huan shouted, and with a knife in his hand, he split a yellow turban soldier in front of him with a knife in half, and the hot blood splashed Shi Huan's head and face in an instant, and when the heavy smell of blood entered his nose, Shi Huan's expression immediately became hideous, and his bright black eyes had become red under the light of the fire.
"Sigh Rhythm ~~"
The mournful neighing and wailing of the war horse sounded endlessly from behind, Shi Huan looked back in shock, only to see that the Cao army following behind him had fallen down continuously, although these soldiers were also veterans of a hundred battles, but their martial arts were far inferior to Shi Huan's mastery~ After all, it was difficult to escape the fate of death!
"Lao Tzu fought with you!" The long knife in Shi Huan's hand was raised high, and a majestic figure rushed towards him, and he shouted and slashed down, "Go die~~."
"Boom!"
"The light of the fireflies is also worthy of competing with the bright moon?"
A fierce sound of gold and iron sounded, Shi Huan suddenly felt that his arms were sore, the long knife in his hand could not hold it anymore and had already flown away, and then an indifferent voice sounded in his ears, and the next moment, a faint cold light swept across his neck, and Shi Huan felt that he was floating up~~ Suddenly, Shi Huan was horrified to find that his body was still on the ground, the body that had lost its head, and the blood gushed out from the broken neck like a fountain, and the next moment, the suffocating cold accompanied the heavy darkness, completely devouring Shi Huan's consciousness.
Not far from the battlefield, Zhang Bao was watching the battle under the escort of Dian Wei~
"Report~~" A terrible wolf howl sounded, and a cavalry galloped from under the night sky, and said sharply, "General Jiang Yu is urgent!" ”
"Hmm, Jiang Yu?" Zhang Bao's heart jumped, and he said in a deep voice, "Speak quickly!" ”
"When our army was patrolling on the embankment of the Yihe River, it was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and General Jiang Yi ordered the villain to come and report to the lord quickly!"
"Enemy attack! How many enemy troops are there? ”
"I don't know!"
"Is it Cao Jun?"
"I don't know."
"You should know where you came from, right? It can't really fall from the sky! ”
"It seems to have crossed the river from the east of the river."
"What, from Hedong?" Zhang Bao was taken aback and lost his voice, "Could it be Yuan Shao's army?" Why did Yuan Shao get involved with Cao Cao? Cao Cao had just slaughtered Yuan Shu. ”
"It's not good~" Zhang Bao suddenly jumped up nervously and shouted, "Dian Wei, where is Dian Wei?" ”
"The end will be here." Dian Wei's figure Huo Ran appeared, and said sharply, "What does the lord command?" ”
Zhang Bao said sharply: "Order the three armies, immediately withdraw and move to the mountains, quickly~~"
"Boom Boom~~"
Zhang Bao's voice fell, and a huge roar suddenly came from under the dark night sky in the west, and suddenly, even the ground under his feet began to tremble violently, Zhang Bao's figure slammed suddenly, and his whole face turned pale in an instant! This is someone breaking the embankment~
Zeguo, the real Zeguo, the raging flood is like a demon that has broken through the cage and turned out of the ground, devouring everything in the world, the surging flood mixed with broken branches and stones rushing down from the Yi River, the roar of the flood is slapping the vast land at the same time, whether it is Zhang Bao's Yellow Turban Army or Shi Huan's 8,000 Cao Army There is a desperate look on his face.
In the face of the giant beast of flood, even if they are as brave as Dian Wei and Xu Chu, I am afraid that they will not be able to do anything, and human beings will always be so small in front of the natural interface.
In the blink of an eye, not only this piece of land became Zeguo, Xu Huang strictly carried out Guo Jia's order, and did his best to expand the embankment, and this is the flood period, all of which created the flood beast, the surging flood not only flooded this piece of land, but also devoured the surrounding counties at a very fast speed with an unrivaled momentum, and countless people along the way were swallowed by the flood in their sleep~ This flood even swallowed the entire western part of Yanzhou~
Perhaps Zhang Bao, Xu Huang, and Cao Cao never thought that a flood would cause such a major disaster, and the entire western part of Yanzhou became a Ze country, with hundreds of thousands of casualties among the people, and Yanzhou experienced a plague and once again became a barren land~
