Chapter 65: Defending and Flooding the Seventh Army

The first defender of the Three Kingdoms is undoubtedly Cao Ren.

The so-called defenders can not only rely on the tall city to resist the tiger and wolf army with the remnants of the weakened army, but also carefully defend the city when the reinforcements reach their advantage, so as not to give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it.

Cao Ren did it, and with the remaining 5,000 soldiers in the city, he resisted Guan Yu's siege; Then when Yu Ban's 100,000 soldiers came to the city, and the flag fluttered to catch the sky and the sun, he still defended the city like an outsider, quietly waiting for Yu Ban to break Guan Yu.

Even when Yu Ban Jun had a complete advantage and was unwilling to attack, Cao Ren was not in a hurry, and slightly praised Yu Ban, who was not impatient in the face of victory and had the demeanor of a general. Cao Ren stood on Wancheng like this, quietly looking at Guan Yu and Yu Ban's hundreds of thousands of troops with a pair of cold eyes, Wancheng is in my hands, it will not be broken, he is confident that Yu Ban will break Guan Yu's army sooner or later.

However, when the monstrous flood hit the waves dozens of meters high, he could only watch on the high ground of Wancheng as the 100,000 northern warriors who did not know the water were struggling and crying in the flood, and the drowned corpses of the spirits of all things were pale floating on the water, gradually rotting, and gradually being swallowed by fish and shrimp.

Cao Ren couldn't stand it anymore, and compassion hit his heart, he lowered his head and said to the soldiers on the city wall, I'll rest for a while.

Back in return, Guan Yu was shot in the right arm by a poisoned arrow from Pound and was cutting his bones to heal his wounds. Guan Yu asked the military doctor to cut his bones and heal his wounds, while playing chess with Guan Ping. Fu Shiren, Jian Yong and the others beside him looked at Guan Yu's frowns and frowned, and Jian Yong asked, General, is it painful to cut bones to heal your wounds, do you want to drink some more anesthesia?

Guan Yu shook his head.

Fu Shiren thought about it and said, General Guan hasn't snorted since the beginning of healing, how can it be that he can't help the pain? I think General Guan must be thinking hard about how we can break Cao Cao's army of 100,000.

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Guan Yu was silent.

Guan Ping said to Fu Shiren, then what good way do you have?

Fu Shiren said a few times, stopped talking, the scene was a little embarrassing, Jian Yong said in a round, hey, isn't Cao Jun an army of 100,000, our General Guan alone can reach a million troops.

As soon as these words came out, everyone responded one after another, but when they looked at Guan Yu's frowning expression that seemed to be looking intently at the chess game, they suddenly gradually fell silent. Jian Yong knew that he had said the wrong thing, General Guan had just lost to Pang De, and you said that he was strong in martial arts, didn't you mean to humiliate him. Everyone also felt that they had inadvertently angered their superiors, and at this time, the military doctor said: I have probably cleaned up the arrow poison suffered by General Guan, and General Guan still needs to rest well, so you can go back.

As soon as these words came out, everyone retreated one after another as if they had been pardoned. Guan Yu watched the chess game quietly, his brows tightened, he thought, eh, when did Guan Ping's chess skills become so high, forcing me to have no way out.

A few days later, Guan Yu's arm was already able to move, and Yu Ban preached to the soldiers, have a good rest tonight, we will move tomorrow to defeat Guan Yu in one fell swoop! The shouts and cheers of the 100,000 army did not stop for a long time.

This night, suddenly thunder roared, the roar vibrated back and forth in the ears, and then the sound of the rain pouring down, the rain hit the leaves and branches, making a crisp sound, hitting the yellow earth "pop", splashed with dust, and fell and dissipated in the soil.

It rained heavily for three days, and Cao Ren's soldiers in Wancheng were fine, and the soldiers of Yu Ban and Guan Yu under the city were miserable, miserable, tents, clothes, quilts, and beds were all wet, and the land became extremely wet in water, and the vast land under the highlands of Wancheng was like a swamp overnight. Not to mention that the two armies are at war, actions are all problems.

In the forbidden camp, the strategist said to the ban, General, let's withdraw the army, now the soldiers are suffering here, such as today's heavy rain, the ground is covered with stagnant water, and Guan Yu will not be able to attack Wancheng.

Yu Ban said resolutely: Guan Yu will not retreat, I will not retreat.

In Guan Yu's camp, Guan Ping said to Guan Yu: Father, now we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat Wancheng, it is better to withdraw the army and fight again in the future.

Guan Yu said: I also know that I can't take Wancheng now, but I led an army of 15,000 to attack Wancheng, and the logistics supply is still uninterrupted, and now I have nothing to gain, and I don't have the face to go back to see my eldest brother.

Guan Ping thought for a while and said: We don't have to go back to Xinye or go to the east to find Uncle Liu. Imagine that we are flooded like this here, and the lower reaches of the Han River must be even more unbearable. We can go against the Han River and go to Shangyong to join Zhang Fei's uncle Jiang Wanjunshi.

Guan Yu said: Okay, it was happily decided.

Guan Yu led his troops to withdraw in the direction of Shangyong, leaving Fu Shiren and Jian Yong to break off, after the break, Fu Shiren Jian Yong, who was originally sent to death as cannon fodder, thought that the two of them had offended Guan Yu two days ago, and decided to surrender to the ban.

Guan Yu Guan Ping went up against the Han River, and suddenly saw a huge wooden gate on the side of the Han River, outside the gate was the surging tumbling Han water, Guan Yu thought, my soldiers basically withdrew, just release the water here, drowned the 100,000 troops downstream of the ban, so let the soldiers march quickly to the upstream of the gate, and said to Guan Ping:

The time has come, go open the floodgates and release the water.

After being left behind by Guan Yu, Fu Shiren Jian Yong was explaining the surrender to Yu Ban, Yu Ban didn't believe it, Guan Yu was brave and righteous, governed the army generously, and his prestige was outside, and he was reasonable, Fu Shiren and Jian Yong should not betray Guan Yu. Fu Shiren Jian Yong blushed anxiously, quarreled with Yu Ban, and was arguing, only to see a wave three or four meters high coming from the direction of Hanshui.

The army of 100,000 was wiped out in an instant.

・・・・・・

said that Zhang Quan asked Xu Shu to guard Tongguan. At this time, Cao Hong received siege equipment and was attacking Tongguan.

Zhang Quan stood quietly on the city, watching the two armies fight, why are we the defenders, and there are still many casualties, I muttered.

Xu Shu saw that Tongguan was in danger, and said to me, young master, why don't we give up Tongguan and retreat?

Zhang Quan frowned and said, "Wait, did we make a mistake?" There was a pause. The enemy army is less than us, why should we defend Tongguan to the death, open the city to meet it!

The gate of Tongguan was opened, Cao Hong and the soldiers who were transporting the crashing car and arrow tower were stunned, and then the spearmen led by Xu Shu stabbed one after another, and the fragile crashing car and arrow tower turned into waste wood in an instant. Cao Hong led the army to respond to the battle in a hurry and retreated one after another.

In the evening, Cao Hong's army was scattered, and Cao Hong, who disdained to escape, was captured alive again, he said, hmph, isn't it just a death, and after twenty years, he will be a good man again.

Zhang Quan waved his hand at him and said, you go, I'm too lazy to kill you.
