Chapter 273: Battle Yingchuan (3)
More than 1,000 people started digging the river in the west of the city more than 100 meters long, five meters wide, in the upstream of the river five miles Cao Cao arranged people to start storing water, will be around the north of the city a section of the reinforcement dam, although the construction period of five days is not long, but Cao Cao with people and horses day and night to do, at the beginning of Sun Jian also took his four generals to challenge the city, and later saw that the Yellow Turban Army did not have anything worth shooting, so he simply sent the four generals under his command to help, such a large-scale excavation of the river in the city of the Yellow Turban Army also found unusual, They hurriedly reported to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
"The Han army wants to flood Yingchuan County, don't they know that Yingchuan County is full of waterways, and it is not whimsical to want to overwhelm this county town? With such a small flow of water, even if Lao Tzu soaked in a soak of urine, he urinated more than them. Ignore them and follow the plan! Zhang Liang has been scolded by Sun Jian in the past few days, if he didn't know that his second brother Zhang Bao was pressing, he would have gone out with his big knife to dismantle Sun Jian. Hearing that there is a Han army digging a river in the west of the city, the river outside the city is just for the common people to take water for irrigation, and the river water will not rise much when encountering continuous heavy rain, and it is really a joke to flood a big city with a small river, and the city is densely covered with waterways to break the city gate, which requires a lot of impact, and he is a little disdainful of the Han army's actions.
"The third - what's the situation on the boss's side now? Any news? And did you arrange the things for me to arrange, Bocai was chased behind the 70,000 army of the Han army, and now there are only 10,000 troops camped outside the city, and what about the rest of the men and horses? Is there any movement of the Han army in Tanma? Zhang Bao didn't care about Zhang Liang's words, he was concerned about the movements of the remaining 60,000 troops of the Han army, and a good dish they prepared for Cao Cao and Sun Jian.
There are less than 20,000 people left under Bocai's command, and when he usually sees Zhang Bao and the two brothers, he meets the cat with the mouse, and finally the army under his command surrounds the Han army in Changshe, but he returned to the liberation overnight, and he is also aggrieved in his heart! He could only stand aside obediently if he was so counted by the generals of the earth and the people, but the scouts he sent out did not find any traces of the remaining men and horses of the Han army, and there was nothing abnormal about the 50,000 troops in ambush outside the city, so he could only speak: "Two generals, the main force of the Han army is missing for the time being, and there is no news from General Tiangong's side recently, the scouts are expanding the search area, and everything else is ready. β
"Prepare well - after the matter is completed, we will be able to raise our eyebrows, you see how beautiful Zhang Mancheng and Guan Hai are playing, and learn to take a good look at my little cub for me in the future! Go on-" Zhang Bao can't reprimand Bocai too much now, after all, he is also a member of the Taiping Dao, and now there is a shortage of manpower to slap a sweet jujube is the way of the superior must learn.
After five days of preparation, Cao Cao and Sun Jian will reach a critical point in the upper reaches of the city, and Cao Cao, in order to achieve the strongest effect, has people cut down nearby trees and row them three miles downstream, just waiting for tonight to start opening the sluice gate to release water. It's just that God also seems to have a big fight tonight, and some light rain began to fall in the sky as night fell, but the rain became heavier and heavier without stopping.
The Han army outside the city is ready, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang brothers are not idle, they have followed Zhang Jiao for so long to see some celestial phenomena, knowing that there will be a heavy rain tonight, the night is dark and the wind is high and the night Zhang Bao sent Zhang Liang and Bocai out of the city, the two led an army of about 20,000 respectively to outflank the Han army camp in the east and west directions, as long as the Han army camp is nicknamed a fire, Zhang Bao will also follow from the south gate of the city to kill the Han army, the three sides will be able to annihilate these Han troops in one fell swoop, Even if their main force arrived, they would have enough time to make arrangements, and Zhang Bao secretly exclaimed for his seamless plan.
Both sides are calculating each other, and it is still unknown who will kill the deer!
"Brother Wentai - tonight, when the river begins to storm the city, the thief army in the city will definitely be in chaos, and then it will be the best time to attack! The men in the camp, Cao Mou, only took 2,000, and the rest was commanded by Brother Wentai, and tonight will be a glorious moment! Looking at the rain outside getting heavier and heavier accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, Cao Cao couldn't help but be arrogant, tonight will be the moment when he Cao Cao became famous, as long as the water hits Yingchuan County, the thief army in the city will definitely open the city gate and flee for his life, and then only need to let Sun Jian take the army to bite Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's banner steadily, then the heads of the two of them must be in the bag.
"Okay-Brother Meng Dexian came to do this bowl of wine, tonight when the two of our brothers joined forces to kill the Quartet, all the generals drank together, tonight is the opportunity to make contributions, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao's dog heads are stored on their necks, just waiting for you to take it off and kick it as a ball, dry-" Sun Jian raised his neck and finished the wine in his hand in one go, "Bang-" The wine bowl was smashed with a bang, and the generals present also followed Sun Jian to drink the wine and smashed the wine bowl, and the war spirit in the big tent was instantly ignited.
"Brother Wentai - take care! Cao Ren ordered the army to set offβ"Cao Cao did not drag the slightest bit of mud and water to tell Cao Ren to go out and set off as an army, and he walked out of the big tent in the heavy rain with arched hands towards Sun Jian.
It was raining heavily, whether it was the Han army or the Yellow Turban Army, they were all advancing in discredit, there was no way, the military orders were like mountains, and the torches couldn't be beaten in such a heavy rain, Cao Cao and they still needed to drive five miles west to reach the vicinity of the embankment where the water was stored, anyway, they were all deep and shallow. The usual half-hour journey forced them to walk for an hour, and by the time they reached the vicinity of the embankment, the rain began to fall a little, and some starlight appeared in the sky.
"Yuan Rang - you take a thousand men and horses to slowly walk back along the river now, and when you meet with Miaocai, send scouts to carefully observe the movements in the city, and report any special circumstances in time!" The embankment is well prepared, only Cao Cao needs an order to open the gate and release water, on the way to the place where the wooden stakes are stored, Cao Cao asked Xiahou Yuan to stay there with two hundred men and horses, and when the water is about to rush, he will put all the wooden stakes into the water, now Cao Cao is ready and does not need too many manpower, leaving Cao Hong, Cao Ren and eight hundred soldiers enough, he sent Xiahou Yuan back to see the opportunity to grab the credit, otherwise he wasted half a day to give all the benefits to Sun Jian, he was not willing! Sun Jian confronted the Yellow Turban Army head-on, so he Cao Cao had to take the sword sideways and wait for the time to move.
"Big brother - do you have enough people here? Do you mean to-" Xiahou Yuan nominally asked him to support Xiahou Yuan, looking at Cao Cao's eyes to let him find a place to ambush with Xiahou Yuan and prepare to catch a big fish, some words can't be said too clearly.
"As soon as you meet Miaocai, he'll tell you what to do β just work together! I've got enough of these people on my side, and we'll go and meet you when the floodgates are opened. Cao Cao hurriedly spoke out to stop what Xiahoudun said, there are many people who can't let themselves have internal contradictions at this time, and the muzzle of the gun must be consistent with the outside, as for who can take down the bandit leader, it depends on their ability.
When the time came, the sky was already full of stars, Cao Cao opened his squinted eyes, he pulled out his sword and said loudly: "The whole army obeys the order - raise the sword to break the rope, open the gate and release the water!" β
After a knife went down, the improvised embankment instantly had a pouring outlet, and rushed down with a roarβ
