Chapter 588: Flooding Fancheng

"General - the Jingzhou army outside the city has been for us for seven days, and the city wall is somewhat dilapidated, I just don't know who is commanding such a rabbit cub, and he can always calculate the direction of our troops, as if they all know what we think, this battle is aggrieved! The lord and the military advisor don't know if it's coming soon? When they arrive, do they have to get this bad breath? "It was Zhou Cang who complained, when Xiangyang City fell, Huang Zhong did not fall in love with the war but led the headquarters to withdraw from Xiangyang City, originally the fall of Xiangyang would not be so easy at all, but the four gates of Xiangyang were opened by the enemy's meticulous deception, and there were many old departments of the Jingzhou Army among the defenders.

In advance, Jia Xu secretly gave Huang Zhong a bag of advice, so that he could act according to the plan and defeat Xiangyang City, this time it was Cai Mao and Wen Ping who led the troops to fight, and Huang Zu led all the way to conquer Jiangxia County. Jiangxia County only has Sun Ce's family, leaving Huang Gai to defend the city is not the opponent of the Jingzhou army at all, Pang Tong gave Huang Zu a plan to raid Jiangxia County, Huang Zu is also a master of tricks, Sun Ce's family was all captured alive and returned to Jingzhou, only Huang Gai desperately protected Sun Shangxiang to fight out of the encirclement and did not know where to go. Cai Mao and Wen Ping, the second general, led 100,000 troops to march day and night according to Pang Tong's strategy, and marched on remote roads in Nanjun, even if they were camping, they did not dare to expose the fire too much.

As long as the woodcutters and people along the way see them, they have been incorporated into the army as people's husbands, which is much better than killing them in the clear field of the fortified wall, and this is how to cover up the march after half a month. Before, the details in Xiangyang City have been agreed, as long as the fire outside the city then they lead people to snatch the city gate, as long as the city gate is opened, then Xiangyang City will definitely fall, according to Pang Tong's plan Huang Zhong is the battlefield general, once Xiangyang City is broken, they will quickly cross the Han River close to Yidu County, the army that broke the city is commanded by Wen Ping, Cai Mao is the commander of 50,000 troops along the way to set up layers of ambushes on the road to Yidu County, as long as Huang Zhong follows this road, then he will die for life.

Huang Zhong, who had obtained Jia Xu's tips, initially marched rapidly in the direction of Yidu County, and then suddenly turned west and occupied Fancheng in the lower reaches of the Han River, which was at odds with Xiangyang City, and had not yet been occupied by the Jingzhou army. Jia Xu's instructions were to let Huang Zhong hold on to Fancheng and wait for their counteroffensive orders, but Jia Xu also secretly ordered Huang Zhong to open all the waterways in Fancheng and build improvised ships in case of emergency.

The Jingzhou army soon killed the siege of Fancheng impenetrable, Huang Zhong and Zhou Cang personally sent out two teams of messengers, all the way to Yangzhou to report all the way to Shangyong County, Xiangyang City was broken and cut off the connection between Yangzhou and Shangyong County, then Zhao Yun's department has been alone, once attacked or the lack of food and grass will inevitably produce a mutiny, Shangyong County is a bit special, can go north directly into Chang'an, but also go west to Hanzhong, Fufeng two places, south is Xiangyang County, to the east is Nanyang County. In the middle, there are some small barriers that are not to be worried.

Zhou Yu also has his intentions to let Zhao Yuntun stay in Shangyong, first of all, let Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu not dare to go out of Sichuan easily, Xiliang Ma Teng also needs to consider his own back road if he wants to kill Chang'an, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji of Nanyang County have never taken the initiative to provoke any forces since they were entrenched here, and when Zhou Yu annexed Jingzhou in one fell swoop, then Shangyong's 100,000 elites will be of great use. Why there are only 100,000 elites left in Shangyong County, that is, the elite soldiers are streamlined, the elimination system of survival of the fittest is implemented, and a group of old, weak and young people are sent to the county towns as city guards. Pang Tong alone wanted to complete the capture of Xiangyang City, and at the same time it was a little difficult to eat Huang Zhong and Zhao Yunbu together with an army of 200,000, he could only ask his classmate Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang helped him persuade Zhang Xiu of Nanyang County, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, and Li Yu of Chang'an to send troops to eat Zhao Yunbu, and the remaining Jingzhou army sent 100,000 troops enough to take Huang Zhongbu of Xiangyang City, and also subdued the chassis north of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou in one fell swoop.

Zhuge Liang will naturally make no traces, all of this is naturally attributed to Pang Tong, but Zhuge Liang's writing is a must, the three letters he wrote are in the key points of Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu, and Li Yu, even if Li Yu is assisted by Sima Yi by his side, he still has to send troops to attack Zhao Yunbu according to the letter. With the containment of these three soldiers and horses, Zhao Yunbu was too busy to take care of himself, so the Jingzhou army north of the Yangtze River had all been subdued and lost, leaving only Huang Zhong's 50,000 horses in Fancheng still struggling to support. In the past few days, the Jingzhou army has the command of Pang Tong, and they have lost a lot of men and horses against Huang Zhong, but in this way, Pang Tong did not enter Fancheng.

"Don't be anxious - our two people who ask for help must have been killed, and the Jingzhou army on the opposite side is not dead in the net, just want to use us to let the lord come to the rescue, or mobilize the mediocre Zilong to rescue, in this case, they will set up an ambush on the way will definitely put the lord in danger." This kind of poisonous trick can only be done by the damned Pang Tong child. This time, he had to die without a place to be buried-"Even if it is the besieged Fancheng, Huang Zhong can still get in touch with the Yangzhou army outside the city that came to reinforce him." Now he is not in a hurry when he says this, and his words are full of killing intent.

The main general was not panicked in his heart, and the soldiers in the army were also like taking a reassuring pill, repairing the city wall or consolidating the city defense according to their daily schedule, and such an orderly progress also made Pang Tong, who was observing Fancheng from afar, feel a sense of powerlessness. His eyes came from the scouts of the Jingzhou army, Ganning's navy galloped in the Yangtze River valley, and had already received Zhou Yu's general order to secretly send Wei Yan and 3,000 vanguard troops to the vicinity of Fancheng to hide, and the remaining Zhou Yu's army was secretly assembled to prepare to give the Jingzhou army an unforgettable lesson.

Jia Xu proposed that Shi A personally lead the law enforcement team to intercept and kill all the scouts and eyeliners outside Pang Tong's army, so that they would become blind and deaf in a short time, and as long as the suspicious characters from the direction of Jingzhou were killed. Such actions began on the fifth day of the siege of Fancheng by the Jingzhou army, and none of the princes of the Han Dynasty paid attention to the transportation capacity of the navy, and they all underestimated the ability of the Yangzhou navy, including Zhuge Liang, who was not a fledgling, only knew that the Yangzhou navy was invincible in the world, and did not know that the navy had other wonderful uses.

"General Cai, General Wen - here Huang Zhongbu will not open the city to surrender, Pang observed that this place is very close to Hanshui and Luoshui, Fancheng is located in a low-lying area, if a high platform is built at the confluence of two rivers, then according to the time of water storage, the water level here will be able to reach a certain impact force in less than three days, so that the use of Hanshui and Luoshui to break Fancheng, only after breaking this place can we go north to exterminate Zhao Yunbu, or across the river against Yangzhou Zhou Yu. I wonder what the two generals think? Pang Tong had a premonition that he didn't want to, that is, the feeling of being targeted by poisonous snakes, and judging from his combat experience, it was the Yangzhou reinforcements who received the military report. Pang Tong, who originally wanted to delay the time, could only fight quickly, or else he wanted to fish and finally there were no fish, and he couldn't make himself a turtle in an urn.

"Mr. Pang - there are still the people of Jingzhou in the city, is it a loss of heaven and peace to flood Fancheng like this?" Wen Ping didn't expect that the weak scholar would kill tens of thousands of people in the city, including 50,000 defenders, with one mouth, and how many people could survive in the end after flooding Fancheng, even if he had been a general for so many years, he couldn't bear to kill like this.

"Hmph—the kindness of a woman! Mr. Pang, even if you tell me, you only need to explain how to do it-"Cai Mao is the commander in the army, as soon as he speaks, it is almost a sure thing, Cai Mao sent 10,000 soldiers to dig a reservoir, and mobilized 10,000 soldiers to open up the intersection of Han River and Luoshui, only three days later, the target is Fancheng, and they retreated to the slightly higher hills early, only waiting for the water to rush through to conquer Fancheng, as for the common people in Cai Mao's eyes, they are just untouchables.
