But I saw that under the earthen bag, there were already three layers inside and three layers outside the Wu army surrounded by heavily armed Wu troops, each of them holding torches, and the surroundings of the earthen bag were as bright as day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first two teams were the Iron Shield Soldiers, followed by the Spear Soldiers, and then the Crossbowmen, as if they had deliberately arranged them in advance as if they had known that they were going to rob the camp.

If it was just like this, Zhang Liao would not be afraid, because at such a close distance, his cavalry could break through the earth bag without the crossbow hand being able to fire arrows, and in Zhang Liao's eyes, those shield halberd soldiers of the Wu people were all vulnerable and could be easily destroyed.

What really shocked Zhang Liao was that the Wu people had piled firewood and grass around the earthen bag, and if the fire went down, it would be surrounded by flames on all sides. The war horses under the crotch can not be afraid of the enemy's sharp edge, but the instinct of the animal to fear fire will make them not obey.

The 800 people who lost their mounts fell into the sea of people of the Wu army, and there was only one way to be slaughtered.

"How is it possible, how can Sun Quan see through my intentions, how can this ......"

Zhang Liao looked around with a shocked expression, the black and oppressive Wu army, and the eight hundred elite soldiers under his command also showed a look of horror.

At this time, among the torches under the earthen bag, a person shouted loudly: "It will be Zhang Wenyuan, hehe, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

Zhang Liao stared closely, but saw that the person under the torch was born with blue eyes and purple hair, and he thought that it was Sun Quan.

At this moment, he was wise, but Zhang Liao was calm, laughed, and said: "I didn't expect that there was a master under Wu Hou's account who could see through my strategy, but I don't know who this person is, can you tell me, let me Zhang Liao die today." ”

Sun Quan said proudly: "Meng De has Zhang Wenyuan, and Lone has Lu Ziming, but now it seems that Lone still beats Meng De." ”

Sun Quan put the credit on Lu Meng, and it is no wonder that he can't say in front of the soldiers of the three armies that this Zhang Liao's strategy is thousands of miles away, and the Fang Zhong under the king of Hanzhong can see through it. If this is the case, even if it is said to be victorious today, it will seem that there is no one in Jiangdong, which is not conducive to boosting morale.

Jiangdong, who has been defeated repeatedly, needs a victory too much to inspire, and for the sake of this victory, Sun Quan will no longer hesitate to lie, of course, this is not the first time for him anyway.

"It turned out to be Lu Ziming, Jiangdong is really the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and I Zhang Liao is careless." Zhang Liao's words and demeanor have shown a tragic meaning.

The previous Sun Quan, hiding in the shadows, witnessed Zhang Liao's stormy rush to the camp, and was deeply impressed by the courage of this former Lu Bu's subordinates. ”

Hearing Sun Quan's words of surrender, Zhang Liao smiled calmly, "Wu Hou's heart is Liao's heart, but Liao received the grace of Wei Gong's knowledge, he was born as a minister of Wei, and he died as a ghost of Wei. ”

Zhang Liao's words made Sun Quan feel pity, he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded again: "Wenyuan, why do you bother, since you were able to carry Lu Bu and return to Mengde, why can't you abandon Mengde and return to me now, isn't it inferior to Mengde if you are thirsty for talent." ”

Zhang Liao smiled faintly, "Wu Hou is also a master of both civil and military affairs, so he shouldn't know how to explain the words 'the grace of knowledge', if he knows, then why waste his lips and tongue." ”

When it came to this, Sun Quan knew that there was no possible surname for Zhang Liao, so he gave the command to Lu Meng on his side, shook his head and sighed and left first.

Lu Meng rode his horse outside the battle group, held his sword and shouted: "Whoever gets the head of Zhang Liao will be rewarded with 100 gold, and the official will be promoted to the third level!" ”

Under the heavy reward, Wu Jun's killing intent was great, and the sound of "killing Zhang Liao" shook the heavens and the earth.

Facing the siege, Zhang Liao's expression became more and more calm, he turned back to those brothers who had followed him for many years and fought side by side, and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Brothers, it was I Zhang Liao who caused you to fall into a desperate situation, do you blame me?" ”

"How can we blame the general, follow the general, and never give up."

"Our life is the general's life, but the general drives it."

Looking at the faces that looked at death as if they were at home, Zhang Liao was satisfied, so he turned his horse's head and faced the raging siegers.

"Okay, then today, let's have a good time."

As soon as the words fell, he rushed down first, and eight hundred iron horsemen followed without hesitation.

Under the soil bag, Lu Meng shouted: "Ignition!" ”

As a result, thousands of Wu soldiers threw the torches in their hands around the earthen bag, and the dry firewood that was placed with saltpeter and fire oil burned instantly, and in the blink of an eye, the raging fire swallowed the entire earthen bag.

Then countless arrows were shot into the sea of fire.

…… Xiangyang, on the north bank of the Han River, is also a dawn.

When the sky was dark, the mighty fleet lined up on the river gradually revealed its hideous face.

Among the more than 300 warships, the most conspicuous is not the majestic fighting ships, nor the small but sturdy warships, but the front row, the more than 70 old fighting ships that have been refitted.

These old fighting ships, with huge and sharp ramming angles installed at the front, and the whole ship is loaded with firewood and grass and other flammable materials, which look more like the fire attack ships used in the Battle of Chibi.

But the difference is that the latter used a light ship to rush into the enemy camp quickly, and this is the first time that such a huge fighting ship has been used as a fireboat.

The river was rolling, even on Guan Yu's huge ship's flagship, Fang Shao could feel the hull of the ship swaying from side to side because of the rolling of the river.

Guan Yu saw that Fang Shao was a little unsteady on the deck, so he teased: "What, Zhongzheng, you have been away from Jingzhou for a long time, aren't you used to taking a boat?" ”

Fang Shao sneered and smiled, "Well, Shao is not as powerful as General Guan in the Han River, and he has seen any kind of battle." It's good that the boat is moored like this, and I haven't been thrown overboard. ”

Guan Yu's fleet is indeed different from usual, the usual formation, generally arranged in the direction of the downstream and countercurrent, but now, the hull of the fleet is spread across the river, and the side of the hull is affected by the turbulent impact of the torrent coming from the upstream, and the shaking is naturally far stronger than usual.

"Then you can endure it for a while, and when you climb to the top of Fancheng City, your torment will be over."

Another wave hit, the hull of the boat shook violently, Fang Shao grabbed the guardrail next to him, but he barely stood still, and secretly complained in his heart: "Grandma, I knew that such a plan would make me suffer, so I wouldn't have come out." ”

The sky is gradually brightening, Fancheng has a full view, the river is surging more and more violently, it seems that the spring rain for several days is endless, and it has not fallen in vain.

Suddenly, several puffs of wolf smoke lit along the river on the north bank, and the expressions of Guan Yu and all the soldiers were shocked, because it was a signal agreed in advance, which meant that Guan Ping's men and horses had successfully dug the embankment on the north bank of the Han River according to the plan.

That's right, this is exactly the strategy that Fang Shao came up with, after waking up, he found inspiration from the sudden heavy rain, and after some inquiry, he knew that in the spring rain season, the Han water must have a period of skyrocketing.

Therefore, Fang Shao proposed this strategy to Guan Yujin, and ordered Guan Yu's department to rush to the north bank of the river embankment facing Fancheng, and dig it in a starry night. Now the Han River is surging, the fragile embankment is difficult to withstand the impact of the water, only a little more force, the whole line collapsed, at this moment, the surging flood, is looking at the direction of Fancheng rushing away.

In a matter of moments, miles of levees along the north bank had collapsed, and the flood water was rolling down like a curtain of gauze, leaving a sea everywhere it passed. After the water depth of the submerged area reached a certain level, Guan Yu ordered the fleet to leave the Han River and enter the flood area.

The sound of the sky cracking when the embankment collapsed had already alarmed the defenders of Fancheng, and the defender Runan Taishou rushed to the city with all his favors, but like other Cao soldiers, he couldn't help but be stunned by the momentum of the ocean in front of him.

"Quick, quickly mobilize the people of the city, transport the prepared earth and stones to the city, and prepare to fill the gaps."

Man Pet quickly recovered from the shock, suppressed his excitement, and calmly gave the order. This was valued by Cao Ren, and the Runan Taishou who stayed in Fancheng really had some ability, and when he saw the Jingzhou army tossing on the river embankment on the north bank, he guessed a few points, so he ordered to prepare more soil and stones a few days in advance, in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to be used at this time.

The first wave of floods, like thousands of horses, rushed in, and in the blink of an eye, it hit the wall of Fancheng, and the entire city wall shook for a moment. But fortunately, the solid walls of Fancheng withstood this first impact.

This is just the beginning, and then, wave after wave comes, and each impact makes Man's heart tremble.

"General, the southeast city wall is leaking."

"Quick, take someone to block it."

"General, the crack in the wall on the south side is cracking, and water is also entering."

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and fill it in for me."

"General, Southwestern ......"

Half an hour later, the flood finally calmed down, although the outside of the city was like an ocean, the water surface was only two meters high from the city, but fortunately, Fancheng was not washed away by the flood, it was miraculously still alive.

Man Chongchang let out a sigh and sat down on the ground, "Finally hold on, Guan Yu, Guan Yu, your move is ruthless enough, but unfortunately, you are facing me Man Boning." ”

Just as he was rejoicing, the soldiers around him suddenly exclaimed: "Look, look what it is, it's not good!" ”

Man Chong quickly got up from the ground, and when he looked south, the whole person was also stunned.
