Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Rainstorm
Looking at the rushing water, Guan Yu's face was pale red, and at the same time, he also showed an unbearable look - the people in the city naturally have the support of the city princess, but for the people living outside the city, even if Xiaopei is in the plain area, and the discharge is lake water, not river water, it is estimated that it will come and go quickly, but it will inevitably cause damage.
And for Xiao Pei, not to mention the direct loss of construction, the people's will will inevitably go against each other, and Cheng Ji will also be very dissatisfied with Xuzhou.
However, Yuan Shu was arrogant, and under the advantage of troops, it was difficult to win except for dangerous strategies such as water attack and fire attack.
"The order is that the whole army should camp and rest, pay attention to the water potential, and as soon as the flood recedes tomorrow, a team of 100 people will be taken to search and rescue the people of each village as planned." Guan Yu ordered.
The affected villages have been marked on the map before, and the Dubs have also planned the distribution of rescue missions.
And tonight, there are already scouts, lurking around the villages, and when the time is about the same, they will directly rush into the village to warn, which can be regarded as minimizing damage.
Ji Ling, who was the main target, introduced the army into Xiaopei's urn city without realizing it at this time, arranged the defenders of the city gate, and prepared to rest for a day first, and then let Peng Cheng know what cruelty is!
"Hahaha, just before this heavy rain, the general occupied Xiaopei, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao can only be drenched outside!" Wei Xu congratulated Ji Ling.
At the same time, he is also secretly patting Ji Ling's sycophants, and the credit for occupying Xiaopei is pressed on Ji Ling's head.
"Thanks to General Wei and General Hou, who understand the righteousness, it is also the result of Bai Tu and Lu Bu's perverse actions." Ji Ling tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly.
But in fact, what Ji Ling thought in his heart was: What a fart! Originally, I wanted to send cavalry to chase and see if I could recover Lu Bu's family, but this shower suddenly came, the road was muddy, and I was afraid that I couldn't catch up!
The cavalry may seem to have no feet touching the ground, but in fact they are also affected by the ground.
And at this moment, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound of water, which scared Wei Xu.
"Ah...... Well, what a rain! Hahaha......" Wei Xu said embarrassedly.
Ji Ling ignored him this time, but looked at the north solemnly, but unfortunately, because the stars and moon were not shining at this time, and the torrential rain was like a note, even he couldn't see anything clearly.
It's just that...... The sound of thunder rushing is getting closer and closer!
"That's not right! It's not the sound of rain! Ji Ling suddenly shouted.
"What?" Wei Xu hadn't reacted yet.
I saw Ji Ling suddenly turn his head, Ruling's eyes glared at him, and Wei Xu trembled in fright: "General, general, what's wrong?" ”
Seeing Wei Xu's appearance, Ji Ling also understood that nine times out of ten, it was not him who was calculating himself, and now was not the time to worry about him, but hurriedly took out the talisman.
Ji Ling already has a gilded battle armor, and he is even already testing the secret of gold and jade, at this time, the battle armor is generally dark blue, the arms are particularly thick, each holding a giant hammer, and conspicuously, the helmet part is covered with an indigo mask, looking like a demon!
"All on alert! Assemble at the South Gate! Ji Ling flew up and shouted.
At the same time, the sound of rushing had already reached the outside of the city, and even when Ji Ling's words fell, the torrent mixed with mud and sand had already hit the city wall on the north side.
With the roar, the north city tower has been crushed to a corner - the city wall without the blessing of the people's hearts has no soul!
The flood had already flooded into the urn city, even if Ji Ling shouted first, the garrison in the city that had just rested was still in chaos.
While passing through the battle armor and commanding the entire team of military attaches at all levels, Ji Ling mentioned Wei Xu like a chicken, and asked in annoyance: "Say!" Is there a higher ground to the south? ”
"High ...... High! Copper Mountain, go in the direction of Copper Mountain! Wei Xu said in a panic.
Tongshan is between Xiaopei and Pengcheng...... In later generations, the location of Pengcheng was named "Tongshan District", but in fact, Tongshan was much larger than Pengcheng.
"Don't panic! The whole army went out from the south gate and went in the direction of Tongshan...... This is the lake water is extinct, the water is not fierce, one day will retreat, all departments restrain the soldiers, don't mess up! ”
This is not wrong, the normal water attack must rely on the river, only because the terrain of Weishan Lake is high enough, so that the big water can barely form, but it will not be as fierce as the river, but the advantage is that the damage is not as big as the river.
Ji Ling tried his best to appease his subordinates, and at the same time retreated south out of the city - continuing to stay in Xiaopei, not only was there the danger of the flood itself, but also when the water receded, with this broken city wall, how could he block the enemy's counterattack?
However, the low wall of the inner city shone with golden brilliance at this time, ten times more than the city wall when Lu Kang was in Shucheng, and it kept the flood out of it.
It is the city princess who is protecting the people of the inner city with the power of the people.
It's just that this people's will is not because of the people's will, but it is overdrawn and stimulated by Chengji......
The solidity of the country is not only in Germany, but also in danger, and now there is a risk of losing morality......
It is conceivable that after today, Xiaopei, the gateway between Xuzhou and the Central Plains, will lose most of its effectiveness, and it is easy to rebuild the city wall, but in the case of the people's will, I am afraid that it will not play much effect!
There are even negative effects such as the morale of the defenders is more likely to decline, and the efficiency of the service is reduced......
However, Ji Ling didn't have the heart to gloat, the army that had conquered Xu before had nearly 50,000 inside and outside Xiaopei City, and now he retreated all the way south, and he didn't know how much else was left!
Not only were there soldiers and generals who were scattered and fled in a panic, but after seeing that the inner city was not lost, some grassroots officers also abandoned their Ji Zao soldiers and rushed directly into the inner city to hide, so angry that Ji Ling's teeth itched, but it was not the time to pursue it.
After these officers fled, the soldiers under their command were naturally in chaos and went into exile in the water......
Fortunately, after running all night, when the sky dawned, the rain had already seen light.
In addition, when he came to the high ground near the copper mountain, Ji Ling saw that the water was no more than three inches, but at the same time, the army behind him ......
The pro-soldier scouts have returned, and according to rough statistics, there are less than 20,000 people!
Although after stabilizing the position, gathering the rout, there must be survivors, but I am afraid that the ten pavilions have gone to the three pavilions.
As soon as he thought of this, Ji Ling looked at Wei Xu and Hou Cheng angrily, although he didn't know if these two people knew, but obviously their dedication to the city was also part of the enemy's plan!
Just when Ji Ling, who had a purple face and fangs, glared at Wei Xu, Wei Xu hurriedly begged for mercy: "General Ji Mingjian!" We are also in the wrong hands of Zhang Liao's dog thief, it must be Xu Tong that they are not secret...... The general gave us another chance, and we ......"
"Hahaha, thank you two for bringing General Ji here!"
A loud shout sounded on the hills near the left, and I saw Zhang Liao, who was dressed in white armor, levitating on it, and after a burst of gongs and drums, the army with the banners of "Zhang" and "Gao" appeared from among the trees on the hills......
