Flooded Linxiang!

These four words, like a thunderclap, hit everyone's minds in an instant, and everyone felt a few drops of cold sweat on their backs.

Linxiang City is built according to the city, which not only has the advantages of convenient transportation, but also has unavoidable hidden dangers.

Now that spring is going to the summer solstice, the rainstorm is coming, and the Xiangshui will naturally skyrocket, among the people present, there are many locals like Huang Zhong, of course, they know that the Xiangshui is flooding, and if Liu Bei takes the opportunity to dig the river embankment and let the flood rush to the low-lying Linxiang City, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This Xu Yuanzhi, I said a long time ago that he is not an ordinary opponent, it turned out that he came up with such a poisonous plan, he not only wanted my surname to wait, but also wanted the surname of the creatures in Linxiang."

Liu Feng's emotion made everyone shudder more and more, Huang Zhong, who had always been calm, couldn't help but roll down a cold sweat on his forehead at this time, and he hurriedly said: "A few years ago, the water in Hunan skyrocketed and flooded Linxiang City, and hundreds of people died. Fortunately, the lord penetrated Liu Bei's conspiracy in time, and without further ado, we should make preparations for the response as soon as possible. ”

Liu Feng nodded and said: "The old general is reasonable, from now on, please go all out to strengthen the city defense in the starry night." ”

After the discussion of the day, Liu Feng quickly arranged to temporarily recruit young and strong men in the city, drag soil and carry stones, thicken the four walls of Linxiang, and at the same time check and fill in the gaps, and repair the cracked city walls in various places in a timely manner.

While rushing to build in the city, a few days of heavy rain caused the water in Hunan to rise sharply, and Liu Beijun, who was stationed outside the city, also gave up his camouflage and seized the time to move the camp to the northwest highlands.

This said, after a night of heavy rain, the rise of Xiangshui reached the highest peak of a year, at this noon, Liu Bei seized the opportunity to successfully dig the embankment on the east bank of Xiangshui, the surging river, immediately like a fierce beast out of the gate, surging towards Linxiang City.

At this moment, Liu Feng had already stood at the west gate, wearing armor, fully armed and silently watching the torrent that swept like a group of beasts.

The torrent was five feet deep, like a raging rock stream, swallowing everything in its path.

Above the city, the soldiers who watched this terrifying scene were all shocked by the power of nature.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps.

Finally, after a mile-long rush, the first torrent, wrapped in mud and sand and broken trees, slammed into the city wall like a mad bull.

At the moment of impact, Liu Feng even felt a slight tremor under his feet, and the splashed column of water reached several zhang high, losing all his armor.

All of them made a gesture of hiding their faces and retreating, as if they were afraid that the flood would break through the walls and swallow them up. However, after a moment of panic, their mood quickly calmed down, and despite the ferocity of the torrent, the city under their feet remained unmoving.

Like everyone, Liu Feng also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Don't relax, everyone must closely monitor the city walls, and if there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately." ”

After the impact of the flood peak, the surging water seemed to weaken, but the continuous flood soon soaked all sides of Hunan in the water, and the height of the flood also continued to rise, and it stopped rising when it was more than one person high.

Liu Beiying in the west of the city.

Standing at Yuyuanmen, looking at the surging flood under the hillside, Liu Bei stroked a few strands of sparse beard, and his eyes swelled with a little pride.

The battle that burned Yiyang burned Liu Bei so embarrassed, and now it is said that the water flooded Linxiang, and it can be regarded as a report and a report.

It's just that Xu Shu beside him doesn't seem to be so excited.

"What, Yuan Zhi can't bear it?" There was an extraneous meaning in Liu Bei's tone.

Xu Shu's heart shook slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "How can I not bear it, I was just thinking, Liu Feng is very smart, we will besiege the city for three months without attacking, it is impossible for him not to see that we are planning to flood Linxiang, if this is the case, then he must be prepared in advance, with the current flood level, I am afraid that it is far from enough." ”

"Yuan Zhi means ......"

In Xu Shu's eyes, murderous aura burst out: "I want to ask the lord to give Yun Chang an order, let him rush to work on the starry night, and widen the gap three times, we need a more violent flood." ”

I see.

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a hideous smile.

Five days later, with the full efforts of Guan Yu's navy, the gap in the river embankment was dug from the original seven or eight zhang to twenty or thirty zhang, and the more turbulent flood poured into the flat ground with the power that swallowed everything, and the water level outside Linxiang City increased sharply.

The castles of this era were not as good as those of later generations, and most of the castles at this time were made of mud, and even if they were not washed away on the spot, they were soaked in the water, and the walls were soon full of flaws.

Although there was no large-scale collapse, the flood that had infiltrated the city from various fissures could not be contained at all, and even if Liu Feng mobilized the people of the whole city to make up for the city at night, it was still to no avail.

Fifteen days after the flood of the city, the water in Linxiang City was already three feet deep, and except for a few people living in the highlands, almost every household was immersed in the water, which was really miserable.

It was afternoon, and Liu Feng returned to his Zhennan General's Mansion with a tired body, and his body and face were stained with mud. A city wall in the southwest corner of the city, under the immersion of the water, actually showed signs of collapse, Liu Feng could only go into battle in person, and tried his best to barely stop the collapse.

"The power of nature is really beyond the reach of man, blocking a wall is more tiring than going into battle, and if this continues, the situation will only become less and less optimistic."

Liu Feng sat weakly on the threshold, looking at the flood that spread to the bottom of the stairs, and the haze in his heart became thicker and thicker.

As long as you hold on for a few more days, the flood will recede sooner or later, which Liu Feng knows very well. But after the flood, there will inevitably be a plague, which is the most fatal blow, and at that time, the entire Linxiang City will become a fragile patient, as long as Liu Bei stretches out his finger and flicks it lightly, he will fall to the ground with a bang.

Even Liu Feng, who was still confident on the surface, faintly felt in his heart at this moment that he seemed to have been forced into a desperate situation.

"Desperate, desperate ......"

Repeating these two words in his mouth, all of a sudden, Liu Feng's eyes were bright, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw, and he was extremely excited.

"When Baqiu was in time, didn't Pang Tong give me a trick to open when I was desperate, and there was a clever plan for rescue in it?"

Thinking of this, Liu Feng hurriedly found the secret bag that had been hidden, opened it, took out the silk book in it, and couldn't wait to look at it carefully.

There are only a few words in the book, but Liu Feng looked at it, but the whole person was like a treasure, and laughed excitedly.

"I see, I see, hahaha-"
