Wuyuan Castle.

Now it was three watches, and the dark and deep sky was illuminated by a huge torch.

The flood has gradually receded completely, and the whole city seems to be in ruins outside the city, inside the city, in a radius of dozens of miles, in the muddy world.

A corpse that had been soaked in the flood for a period of time began to gradually appear under the eyes of the soldiers of the Wei State, horizontally and vertically, overlapping again, and they all showed a kind of white skin without any blood.

Tens of thousands of corpses, all over the city, this is a kind of misery in the midst of gloom, like hell on earth.

Cao Cao walked down from the top of the hillside, stepping on a muddy road, one step was muddy, one step was angry, and walked into the ruined Wuyuan City.

This morning, he was high-spirited, bold and ambitious, and Wei Guo's soldiers were like rainbows, vowing to break Wuyuan and behead Sun Quan.

Now, he's done his first goal.

Wuyuan City is indeed broken, and it is completely broken, the entire city wall has been blown by the flood, and there are not a single or two houses in the city.

But...... He lost.

In this battle, he lost very completely, and lost in the hands of Sun Quan, who is now just the year of the crown, for which he also paid a heavy price.

"Blue-eyed, lonely and you don't share the sky!"

When the corpse of a Wei soldier was reflected in Cao Cao's eyes, it was very dazzling, and Cao Cao had a trace of anger in his heart that could not be vented.

At this moment, Cao Cao's face was as heavy as ice, and his gloomy eyes swept by, making all the soldiers around him silent.

"Come on, report the casualties of the Wei soldiers to the orphans!" Cao Cao continued to walk past until he reached the ruins of the city. I couldn't help it and shouted.

"No!"

At this time, a scribe who was recording walked out tremblingly, looking at Cao Cao who was obviously a little violent at this moment, he gritted his teeth, and reported it softly.

"Report to the King. In order to attack the city, our army suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and when the flood came, our soldiers were attacking the city without the slightest vigilance, and most of our soldiers did not know how to be watery. So the casualties were heavy, and now the statistics show that more than 10,000 soldiers died in the flood! ”

This is also because it is now close to October, and the water level of the Wushui River is not high, and the time of submersion is only an hour. Let many people escape their lives.

If this embankment was enough to flood Takehara Castle for a day during the rainy season in July, they would have suffered at least twice as many casualties.

"Hahahaha!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly laughed, and his laughter was so desolate: "Lonely, lead 80,000 troops and go north to the East China Sea." 10,000 in Pengcheng, 5,000 in Fuyang, and 5,000 for logistics. The remaining 60,000 soldiers attacked the city. ”

"The 60,000 Wei elites, encircled and suppressed him Sun Zhongmou only 10,000 soldiers, but suffered more than 15,000 Wei Guoerlang, and also let Sun Zhongmou's main force break through the siege, alone, Cao Mengde fought in the south and north for more than ten years. There has never been such a defeat, but I didn't expect to lose to a milky Sun Zhongmou in the end. Amusing! It's ridiculous to be lonely, and it's ridiculous for you! ”

"Hahaha! Ridiculous"

Clanging sounds. Xiao Se's laughter, he seemed to be laughing at himself, and he was also laughing at all the Wei generals.

"We are incompetent, please punish the king!"

Li Dian, Xu Huang and other Wei generals were ashamed in their hearts at this moment, and quickly knelt down and said respectfully.

"King, this battle is not over yet, why should you lose?"

At this time, Xi Zhicai, who had disappeared for a whole day, walked into the quagmire of Wuyuan City with a somewhat tired look, looked at Cao Cao, and said loudly.

"Zhicai?"

Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Xi Zhicai, who had suddenly returned, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"King, this battle is the negligence of Zhicai, Zhicai woke up too late, to guide Pang Shiyuan to break the embankment, flooding our army, it is Zhicai who is sorry for the Wei State, sorry for the king, sorry for the soldiers, he returned to the dynasty every day, and Zhicai should be convicted."

Xi Zhicai walked in, first bowed to Cao Cao and the soldiers and apologized, and then his face became resolute, and Lang Lang's voice sounded again, saying: "But this battle is not over yet, we need to cheer up, destroy Sun Zhongmou's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and bring Sun Zhongmou's people back, so as to lay the thousands of souls of our Wei State sacrificed in Wuyuan City!" ”

"The last general will kill Sun Zhongmou!"

"I should be the vanguard, and I am willing to lead 3,000 troops to hunt down and kill Sun Zhongmou!"

"If you don't kill Sun Zhongmou, you won't be a man!"

"Kill!"

Xi Zhicai's words, the soldiers who woke up, the soldiers quickly fell into the excitement, when their anger turned into a fighting spirit, one by one they became energetic, very excited, and asked for battle.

"Good!"

Cao Cao also became excited at this time, his eyes bloomed with a chilling light, he quickly pulled out his sword, pointed to the east, and shouted: "Sun Zhong murdered my Wei Guoerlang, don't kill Sun Zhongmou, swear not to give up!" ”

"Kill!"

The soldiers shouted loudly in response to Cao Cao's determination.

"Xu Huang!" Cao Cao will be the general.

"In!"

"Lone is now destined for you, quickly lead 10,000 unscathed cavalry to pursue Sun Zhongmou, if you can kill Sun Zhongmou on the way, it is naturally good, if not, stationed outside Liangwu City, wait for Lone's main force!"

"No!"

Xu Huang's eyes lit up and he took the order and left.

"Li Dian!"

"In!"

"You quickly rest the soldiers and horses that are still fighting power, bury the pot and make food, rest for three hours, wait for the dawn, and then attack Liangwu in person."

Cao Cao knew that now he can mobilize the strength of the army, 60,000 soldiers and horses, 15,000 killed in battle, and about 10,000 or 20,000 who have lost their combat effectiveness, that is, the cavalry and foot soldiers he can use are less than 30,000.

"No!" Li Dian quickly took the order and left.

"Let's disperse, quickly clean up the battlefield, clean up Wuyuan City, settle the people, dispose of the corpses, don't let the corpses corrupt and bring the plague, and endanger the safety of our army!"

Cao Cao sighed and said, today's Wuyuan, thousands of corpses of the Wu State, thousands of corpses of the people, and more than 10,000 corpses of the Wei State, if they are not handled well, just wait for the plague!

Today's Wuyuan still has a population of tens of thousands, this flood, only Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are raging, Zhuge Jin arranged in advance, the people are prepared, and the casualties are not large, but now Wuyuan City is in ruins, how to place them, has become a problem.

"No!"

The hearts of all the soldiers trembled, and they also knew that if the current battlefield was not handled well, it would become a big problem, and they should deal with it quickly.

"Zhicai!"

When everyone dispersed, Cao Cao's face relaxed slightly, his eyes had a touch of vicissitudes of life, and he said with a slightly wry smile: "Lone lost to Sun Quan again!" ”

"King, a success or failure is nothing, the final victory will only belong to our Wei Kingdom!" The gleam in Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed: "Although Sun Zhongmou escaped the catastrophe of Wuyuan this time, the road to Tancheng has been blocked by General Lejin, and he wants to retreat to Yuzhou Mountain, but there is still no way to escape, we still have a chance." ”

"Zhicai, where is Pang Tong?" Cao Cao asked through gritted teeth, and at this time he became cautious about the ruthless strategist beside Sun Quan.

"The strategy of flooding Wuyuan should be in the hands of this person, but it's a pity that he was a step too late, so he was able to break the embankment!"

There was a trace of regret in Xi Zhicai's expression, and he said: "After the embankment broke, I wanted to kill him even if he was killed or wounded, but this person was cunning, and the retreat he left behind, relying on the water of the Wushui River, escaped, and it should have joined Sun Zhongmou's soldiers and horses!" ”

"Flooding Wuyuan is really a good plan!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his face was a little blue.

"King, I'm afraid this plan is not so simple, and I even suspect that at this moment, Sun Zhongmou is not in Liangwu at all."

"The scout is here to report, he is indeed the way to Ryogo!" Cao Cao frowned.

"He's going to Lianggo, it's just that he's not in Lianggo, Lianggo, I'm afraid it's just a pretense."

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes, his eyes were bright, his face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Flooding Wuyuan, can relieve the siege, Sun Zhongmou, who broke through the siege, should go north, when he goes to Lanling, Xiangben, in order to converge with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Ganning, there is a chance to survive, Ganning's soldiers and horses still have a chance to break out of our encirclement, but he went to Liangwu, although Liangwu has 10,000 cavalry of Huang Zhong, but there are also soldiers and horses of General Lejin, with the thick walls of Tancheng, he can't go out at all!" ”

"You mean, he didn't want to run away at all, but to kill...... Solitary! The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and even he was shocked by Sun Quan's audacity.

In the encirclement of his hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, he didn't think of retreating, but wanted to kill him, isn't this the rhythm of looking for death?

You must know that although he Cao Cao lost in Wuyuan, the strength of the Wei army is still there, and he can dispatch Fu Yang and Peng Cheng's troops to support him at any time, and then calmly besiege Sun Quan, who has been blocked in the back road.

"King, Pang Tong can't be underestimated!"

If it was said that Xi Zhicai was only a little optimistic about Pang Tong before, then now, he has raised Pang Tong above the same level as himself, and he has to pay attention to it.

"King, come and see!"

With the light of the night, the two returned to the big tent of the Chinese army on the hillside outside the city, looking at the sand table with their eyes, Xi Zhicai said: "This is Wuyuan, this is Liangwu, if you go north is Lanling, if you go east is Tancheng, and south is Pengcheng, but if we set aside these cities, we will find a problem, this area where these cities meet, the terrain is a little special!" ”

"Exceptional!"

Cao Cao is also an excellent general, his eyes swept over, he naturally knew what kind of terrain this was, and his face changed slightly: "This is a good battlefield, intricate, canyons, hillsides, official roads, staggered and messy, if it is...... If there is a chaotic battle, there will be no place to camp at all, if Sun Quan hides in this area...... We're even better. ”

"So!"

The corners of Xi Zhicai's mouth outlined a weird smile, and he said lightly: "Dividing the troops has become the only choice now!" (To be continued)
