Chapter 520: A Desperate Strategy
"Boom!"
It's a muffled, very muffled sound, you can't hear what exactly is coming from, but it's real. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Stupid, the rest of the soldiers were all dumbfounded, staying in place one by one, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
"Boom ......"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Yun with a pale face: "Zilong, Zhuge Liang dug Wenshui and blew up Qiuchao Lake!" This is a desperate move! ”
Zhao Yun also knew what it was, they had almost done it before, when they fought against the Black Mountain Thieves, they used this to threaten Zhang Yan and surrender, but they didn't expect that the time and place changed, but they became the object of someone else's design.
didn't answer, grabbed Zhou Yu's hand, pulled him onto his war horse, Danqing tread the leaves much faster than ordinary war horses, at this time there was only to flee for his life, where can manpower be ruthless with the flood.
"Run, flee to high places, or you will all die."
Not only Zhao Yunjun, but even Mi Zhu was dumbfounded, it turned out that Zhuge Liang said that he was going to die, not under the butcher's knife of the enemy, but in Zhuge Kongming's calculations.
Not daring to hesitate, the soldiers fled violently, and the cries spread in despair, the flood ah, the flood that had accumulated in the rainy season, coupled with the heavy rain for several days, was overturned at this time.
From far to near, Zhao Yun galloped for more than ten miles in a row, racing against the flood, and stood still on a cliff before he was able to rest.
Condescendingly, at a glance, there is a two-meter-high flood, like a spreading tsunami, left and right, endless.
"Boom!"
A loud bang, directly bombarded the city wall of Pei County, just the first contact, the city gate that could not be opened for a long time collapsed, in just over ten minutes, the east of the city tower was also swallowed by the flood, the entire Pei County was swallowed up......
Zhou Yu gasped, and his face was rarely pale: "I will not be so resolute when I wait for the mountains and rivers to be released, and in the end, I will only threaten with this, Zhuge Liang...... It's so bold, but this time, how many innocent soldiers and people have died because of it. ”
Zhao Yun clenched his fists, his eyes became more and more violent, his teeth rattled, and he was obviously extremely angry, which he had hardly had since he was born.
This flood will at least affect hundreds of thousands of people, and the people in the township pavilions along the way can not evacuate in time at all, and the dead and wounded are at least tens of thousands, which still does not count the soldiers on both sides of the enemy, and the lives of the people can not be described as this move, and can only be described as a butcher Zhuge Liang at this time, in order to achieve the goal, so many lives were mutilated, hateful!
The flood gradually receded after two days, and half of the county seat of Pengcheng was affected in the south of Pei County, and corpses could be seen everywhere inside and outside Pei County, and there were rare living people walking among them, and the cries and shouts could be heard sporadically.
Zhou Yu gathered the sergeants, but only more than 1,000 people survived in the past two days, and the rest did not know whether they were alive or dead, and even Wang Haoming disappeared without a trace, and seemed to be swallowed by the water.
And Wang Shuang, who had noticed that something was wrong earlier, immediately ordered the army to stop the horse, and the impact was not great, after all, it was on the edge, and the closer it was to the Jiuli Mountain, the higher the terrain became, and only a dozen or so people did not stand firmly, and were injured after being washed for a while.
After Zhou Yu and Wang Shuang joined forces, they rushed directly to the camp, where they had hoarded grain and grass for half a month, and if something went wrong, they could only retreat.
When the group returned to the camp, the lingering sadness gradually spread, and when they saw the grain and grass that had been washed away by the flood, they were even more depressed.
"It's all moldy."
Wang Shuang sighed, originally he came to support, so he brought a lot of grain and grass with him, but in this battle, almost all of them were overturned.
Zhou Yu did not suffer from gains and losses, and waved his hand: "Order people to choose grain and grass, if there is something that can be used, pile it up in one place first, if it can last for five days, our army will drive horses to Pengcheng, and strive to enter the city in a short time, there must be grain and grass there." ”
Zhou Yu was very anxious, his original idea was relatively simple, and after cleaning up Zhuge Liang, he announced that he would officially settle in Xuzhou, but the number of deaths in this battle was not inferior to Jia Xu's burning of Yecheng, and it would be even more impactful in terms of reputation, which would greatly affect King Li as emperor, so he must be quick to determine the fact that Pengcheng has changed hands, otherwise the people are in a state of dissociation, and delaying it will cause unfavorable remarks among the people.
Zhao Yun walked back quietly: "It is almost certain that of the 25,000 people in this army, except for the 600 people of the life-chasing army, only more than 1,000 people survived. ”
Zhou Yu sighed and said: "Men in the north rarely know how to know water, and as soon as the water comes, it will be chaotic first, even some people who are not deeply affected by the water will be afraid because of this, and then they will be swept away by the flood with a large flow. ”
Zhao Yun hummed heavily, and his hatred for Zhuge Liang increased a lot inexplicably.
Zhou Yu changed his mind and said: "Still there is no news of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei?" ”
Zhao Yun said: "There are no corpses in the camp, I have already ordered people to look for them in a low place, and there will be no results in a short time." ”
Zhou Yu snorted, turned around and left, although Zhao Yun is the boss, but he blames himself for being too proud in this battle, and how to tell King Li next, you have to think carefully.
The battle of Pengcheng, regardless of victory or defeat, but the impact is not small, the people condemned for a while, some said Zhuge Liang, and some criticized Zhou Yu, anyway, the people are like this, they don't care what your purpose is, the fact is that you caused it, that is the iron law.
This is also why Zhou Yu must control Xuzhou as soon as possible, so as to minimize such rumors.
This time there was no obstacle, Pengcheng was widely affected, and many family officials with some power fled one after another, and entered Pengcheng almost without spending a single soldier, of course, they still took the old road, which was the secret passage of the state pastor's mansion.
And Zang Ba, who was originally stationed outside the city, suddenly seemed to evaporate, and there was no trace, Zhou Yu immediately ordered, Zhang Bang to calm the people, and personally accepted the people who were affected by the disaster a few days ago, without the affirmation of King Li, directly opened the granary of Pengcheng, and distributed more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass.
This is the spirit, because Zhou Yu contacted Tai Shi Ci of Wuchao as early as the day of the incident, and the two have a close relationship, from the moment they received the news, Tai Shi Ci directly allocated a large amount of grain and grass out of the warehouse, and there are three days at most to enter Pengcheng.
As soon as this batch of grain and grass arrives, the predicament of this army will be solved. But there's one more thing that always lingers.
Zhou Yu secretly thought that this siege, even he didn't know which day the attack would start, and Zhuge Liang naturally wouldn't have calculated it, but he happened to blow up the lake on the day of the siege, which was too strange.
Zhou Yu muttered: "Zilong, General Wang, you say, is it possible that this Zhuge Liang wants to save Liu Bei, but by mistake just in time for our army to attack the city?" ”
The two of them were startled, and they could see each other's disbelief at a glance: "This, won't it......"
Zhou Yu stopped and said, "It's very likely." (To be continued.) )
