However, what Zhuge Jun didn't know was that Zhou Cang was indeed in trouble, and it was a big trouble!

Speaking of which, digging a river embankment seems to be easy, isn't it just digging a gap in the river embankment, and then the big water rushes down, the gap gets bigger and bigger, and finally the flood doesn't break the embankment?

Actually, that's not the case at all!

Because there is no real embankment in the Xiaowen River in this era, the entire river is formed by natural erosion, and there are many mountains and rocks.

Fortunately, Zhuge invented the sapper shovel, Zhou Cang was able to solve this huge problem, Zhou Cang took two thousand young men to dig for three days and two nights, almost dug half of the hillside, and finally opened a small mouth one zhang wide on the north bank of the Xiaowen River, under the washing of the river, the gap is getting bigger and bigger, and it is about to flood, but two big stones came out of the cold, one left and one right stuck on both sides of the gap, which is over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Washed away by the floods, the two large rocks just stood still.

This is a big trouble, if you don't remove these two big stones, the gap will not fester, the gap will not fester, just with the current amount of water, it is a year and a half of irrigation, but I am afraid that it will not be able to flood the Yuan army outside the city.

It's definitely too late to pick a new place to dig again, and now we have to find a way to knock out one of the stones!

But the problem is that the smaller stones are also larger than the house, according to the conventional method, with an iron drill, hammer smashed, even a month may not be able to break, but the mountain city can only last for ten days and a half at most, what to do?

This situation, Zhuge Jun also thought of it, he had already asked Zhou Cang to bring some animal fat, and now Zhou Cang poured the oil on these rocks, an afternoon's work, the stone was boiled and cracked, broken, and then the foundation gradually loosened under the continuous washing of the flood, at a certain moment, with a loud bang, the remaining small half of the stone finally rolled down the hillside, and in an instant, the surging flood was like a wild horse off the leash, galloping down!

Losing the confinement of the boulder, the surging flood completely lost its limit, before and after less than half an hour, the gap has expanded from the initial less than two zhang to more than 20 zhang, and is still expanding rapidly, the turbid water is pouring down from the gap, forming a huge flood peak, roaring towards the low place.

Zhou Cang stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, only to see that the bottom of the mountain had become an ocean!

When Sun Jian was asleep, he suddenly dreamed that he had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave, and he woke up suddenly, only to be extremely shocked to find that he was actually immersed in water!

When Sun Jian was about to summon his own soldiers to ask what was going on, the curtain was suddenly opened.

Immediately, the leader of the pro-army had already broken in with a sad expression, knelt down again, and said miserably: "General, it's not good! Water, water everywhere! ”

Sun Jian's heart suddenly froze, and he hurriedly rushed out of the big tent before he could put it on.

Out of the big tent, Sun Jian snatched a torch from his own soldiers and burned it around, only to see that there was a vast water surface all around, and just now, the water level did not reach the calf from the ankle, and it was still rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, seeing this scene, Sun Jian couldn't believe his eyes!

With such a large area of stagnant water, needless to say, it must be that the Dawen River has burst its banks! Could it be that the 5,000 cavalry he sent to the Dawen River ate? How is this possible?

The Xuzhou army actually dug up the water of the Dawen River!? The Xuzhou army really plans to burn the jade!?

Sun Jian's first reaction was that the 5,000 cavalry he sent out was ambushed by the Xuzhou army, and only in this way could the Xuzhou army silently dig the embankment and release the water, but soon Sun Jian felt that something was wrong, and the patrol cavalry had just returned that everything was normal two hours ago, and Xuzhou. It is absolutely impossible for the army to dig up the water in such a short period of time.

The only explanation is that the Xuzhou Army's river digging point is at least a hundred miles away in the Xiaowen River!

But the problem is, digging Xiaowen water from such a far away place can actually flood here!?

With the amount of water in the Xiaowen River, this is simply impossible!!

But this impossible became possible, at this moment, Sun Jian couldn't help but regret his intestines, he knew that he should have sent more cavalry to control the rivers of two hundred miles away, but now it is too late to regret it.

At that moment, Sun Jian Haoran sighed and said: "Alas, the wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, there must be a mistake, there must be a loss......

"General, let's go!" The pro-military lieutenant said miserably, "If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to go!" ”

When Sun Jian looked down hurriedly, he saw that the water level had reached his knees and almost to his thighs, and he said miserably: "Order, the whole army is moving to the southeast, quickly!" ”

At that moment, Sun Jian took the pro-military camp and hurried to the southeast.

But how can it be so easy to find direction in the dark? As you walk, your sense of direction is gone!

At this time, the entire Yuan army camp was already in chaos, except for Sun Jian's personal battalion, which could barely maintain composure, the other battalions, departments, and songs had been completely chaotic, and tens of thousands of Yuan army soldiers were running around like headless flies in the water, and all of them had messy hair and disheveled clothes, and their expressions were extremely sad.

Sun Jian yelled again and again, trying to stop the chaos from spreading.

However, Sun Jian soon found that this was in vain, even if he drew his sword and killed several people in a row, he still could not stop the spread of chaos, and in the end, even his own army camp showed signs of instability, Sun Jian finally knew that the general trend of Yuan's army had gone, and by now, it was impossible for him to effectively control this army.

"Let's go, leave them alone!" Sun Jian immediately took his own soldiers and ran away in a random direction.

I don't know how far I walked in the dark, the water level gradually overflowed the thighs to the waist, at this time it was very difficult for people to walk in the water, just when Sun Jian thought that he would die, he found that the water surface had miraculously fallen, but soon he found that it was not the water level that had dropped, but the terrain under his feet was increasing!

"General, the heights! We're on the high ground! Many of the pro-soldiers immediately cried with joy.

Sun Jian climbed up to the high ground with a rolling belt, and when he looked back, he saw that there were less than 100 people left behind him, and the rest of the soldiers were estimated to have either drowned or lost halfway.

After spending less than half an hour on the high ground, the sky gradually became brighter.

Through the thin dawn, Sun Jian looked around, only to see that the front had completely become a Ze country, the radius was estimated to be hundreds of miles wide, and in the mist, the mountain city was faintly visible, and its city walls were flooded by nearly half! Seeing this scene, Sun Jian's heart suddenly sank, the water was so deep, how could the army stationed outside the city be lucky?

Thinking back a few days ago, when he led the army to the expedition, he was full of thought that he could wipe out the remnants of the Xuzhou Army in one fell swoop and more or less win a battle achievement, but he never thought that tens of thousands of troops would be buried in the belly of the fish overnight! Thinking of this, Sun Jian suddenly lost all his thoughts, and immediately pulled out his saber and wiped it off his neck.

"General, no, no!" The captain of the pro-soldier army hurriedly rushed forward and held Sun Jian down.

Sun Jian sighed and said: "After this defeat, there are only 100 people left in the tens of thousands of troops, what face do I have to go back to see people?" ”

"General, think twice." The captain of the pro-soldier colonel persuaded sadly, "Victory or defeat is just a common thing, as long as the general is still alive, there will always be a day when he defeats the Xuzhou army and captures Zhuge Jun'er, but if the general kills himself today, he will never have this opportunity, and he will never be able to wash away today's shame!" ”

Sun Jian was speechless for a long time, and the captain of the pro-soldier took the opportunity to snatch his sword.

When everyone was helpless and didn't know where to go, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted: "General, there is a small island over there, and there seem to be people on it!" ”

By this time, the sun had risen and the mist had gradually dispersed.

Only then did Sun Jian and his entourage of nearly 100 soldiers discover that there were dozens of scattered "isolated islands" scattered on the endless water, and the so-called "isolated islands" were originally just small hills or dirt slopes, but now the entire mountainous area has been flooded, and these hills or dirt slopes have become "isolated islands" in Zeguo.

The nearest island was only about a few zhang square, but there were no less than 100 people.

At this time, the people on the isolated island also discovered Sun Jian and them, and immediately a tun chief wearing a leather jacket came out of the crowd, beckoning to this side again and again: "General, save us, save us......"

When everyone was at a loss, Sun Jian found that there seemed to be bamboo in the mountain, so he hurriedly ordered the captain of the army: "Quick, you take someone over there to cut down the bamboo and build a bamboo raft to save people!" ”

"No!" The captain of the pro-soldier school waved it, picked up fifty pro-soldiers and left.

In the mountain city, 10,000 Xuzhou troops are divided into thousands of rafts, and they are already on standby!

Although he had been mentally prepared, he could see that the flood had almost submerged half of the height of the city wall, Zhuge Jun still couldn't help but be surprised, and this also brought trouble to the Xuzhou army out of the city, because the four city gates were all flooded, as a last resort, Zhuge could only choose a section of the city wall that was already seriously damaged, and forcibly broke out of the wall.

Standing at the head of the city, looking at Wang Yangzeguo outside the city, Zhuge Jun's mood couldn't help but be a little heavy.

The Xiaowen River flooded, and it was not only the Yuan army outside the mountain city that suffered, but all the places in the mountainous area were afraid that they would also suffer, although the mountainous area was not a densely populated place, but at least more than 100,000 people would be displaced and become homeless refugees, these are the people of Xuzhou!

Jiang Xu looked a little excited, looked at the vast water, and said loudly: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it, Zhou Cang dug up from the Xiaowen River a hundred miles away, and he can actually flood here!?" Hahaha, what about Sun Jian? Didn't his tens of thousands of troops die in the belly of the fish? It's so exciting, it's so exciting! ”

Yan Yan, who had never taken the initiative to talk to Zhuge Jun since he was forcibly stayed, seemed to have been touched by a certain nerve, and suddenly said: "Did the third prince ever think that this flood washed down, although the Yuan army outside the city was not spared, but the hundreds of thousands of people in the entire mountainous area were afraid that they would also be homeless!" ”

Zhuge Jun thought of the fate of the Han people more than a thousand years later, his expression was like iron, and he said coldly: "This is also a helpless thing!" ”

Yan Yan's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of imperceptible discoloration, thinking that this Zhuge Jun is really a ruthless master, the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people, he didn't care about it at all, although such a character is inevitably ruthless, but it is also a necessary quality for those who become great things, but this is much stronger than Zhuge Jin!

As he spoke, the already seriously damaged city wall had been broken, and then Liang Xi, Huo Du, Zhao Yun, and Jiang Xu's four generals had already led their headquarters and marched out of the city. ”

"So what will be done?" Jiang Xu couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Zhuge Jun pointed to the scattered sacks floating on the water outside the city and said, "Do you see those sacks?" Your mission is to salvage Yuan Jun's baggage, especially grain! Although these grains have been soaked in water, as long as they are brought back and fried, they can still be used as military rations! Tens of thousands of Yuan troops, a lot of food! ”

"No!" Jiang Xu agreed with a bang, and immediately received the order.

At noon, Sun Jian's own soldiers finally set up more than a dozen bamboo rafts, and more than 100 remnants of the Yuan army on the two isolated islands closest to each other had also been picked up and brought ashore.

Sun Jian hurriedly asked his soldiers to rescue the dozen people on a bamboo raft, but it was Sun Wu and the accompanying soldiers.

Seeing Sun Jian, Sun Wu couldn't help but feel sad, and said miserably: "General, it's over, it's all over, there are only a few people in the 30,000 army, and the rest is gone." ”

Sun Jian himself was also sad in his heart, but he still had to be patient to comfort Yang Wu: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, you don't have to worry about it, besides, there has never been a victorious general in this world, and the great soldiers Sun Wu and Wu Qi have also suffered defeats?" If you lose today, you will win it back tomorrow. ”

Although he said that, Sun Jian was really at a loss in his heart.

Today's defeat is indeed a bit miserable, and I don't know if Yuan Shu will trust him, let alone if there will be a chance to lead the army in the future, perhaps, there will never be such an opportunity.
