Diaoyutai Legend 1 07107 Goddess of Victory, Goddess of Peace (29)

Here we want to remind friends once again that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel, and many parts of it are inconsistent with the real historical record in order to beautify the myth Zhuge Liang by Luo Guanzhong. As we have already told before, Liu Bei took Hanzhong (Zhuge Liang was in Chengdu at the time, not in Hanzhong). And the story of Guan Yu's Fan Xiang War, Luo Guanzhong, in order to achieve the purpose of beautifying Zhuge Liang, he positioned Guan Yu as proud and arrogant, which led to the so-called "carelessness in Jingzhou".

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Luo Guanzhong described the flooding of the Seventh Army as a human catastrophe deliberately created by Guan Yu in order to achieve strategic goals.

This is not true. The real history books "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and "Zizhi Tongjian" have many detailed descriptions of this flood (there is no record of Guan Yu related to this flood in the history books). The scale of this flood is rare in the world, it should be a heavy rain that has not been seen in a hundred years (there are more than ten days), the entire Hanshui basin flooded, its long time, the amount of water (only three boards will flood the city wall of Fancheng), should be recorded in the local hydrological history of the most.

Obviously, such a big flood was not created by Guan Yu and a few soldiers blocking a few mountain streams.

Moreover, at the foot of the mountain where the army of the Seventh Army was deployed, it was impossible for Guan Yu's soldiers to go to the mountain to do tricks.

All in all, this great flood was a natural disaster and had nothing to do with Guan Yu.

It was August 219 A.D., and it was the autumn tiger season, and the weather was very hot. Yu Ban made preparations for a protracted war. Because Guan Yu came to the Northern Expedition, his logistical materials and grain and grass needed to be transported from Jingzhou. Yu Ban himself has a home field advantage and sufficient logistics support. As time drags on, Guan Yu's Jingzhou army will inevitably have logistical supply difficulties, and it is very likely that they will retreat without a fight due to lack of food and grass.

At this time, Cao Cao's strategy was to force Guan Yu's army back, focus on defense, and keep the territory. Cao Cao did not ask the Forbidden Seventh Army to destroy Guan Yu's army.

So Yu Ban moved the barracks of the Seventh Army to the foot of the mountain near the mountain to escape the heat.

A heavy rain, a continuous torrential rain.

Flash floods broke out, and the Han water swelled sharply.

The flash flood washed away the barracks of the Seventh Army.

The rain was heavy.

The horses were neighing.

All the military horses went down the river in the flood, including Pound's white horse.

Pound's coffin drifted away in the torrent.

In this rainy night, the sergeants of the Seventh Army rushed desperately, from one high ground to a higher one.

Many of the sergeants who could not swim and did not make it to the heights in time were swept away by the flood.

A group of sergeants escorted Yu Ban and climbed up a piece of high ground.

Yu Ban, like the soldiers, shivered in the heavy rain.

Another group of sergeants (Pound's 500 personal soldiers) escorted Pound up an embankment. Of course, the embankment was washed away, and the only remaining embankment could save lives.

This section of the embankment is only above the water, and it seems that it is about to be swallowed up by floodwater.

Dong Heng, the two important commanders of the Seventh Army, and Dong Chao are also among this group of people.

Because of Yu Ban's distrust of Pang De, Dong Heng and Dong Chao were specially arranged to "assist" Pang De in Pang De's army.

Dong Heng, who has a special mission, Dong Chao is not an inch away from Pound.

As soon as the day dawned, Guan Yu's Jingzhou army immediately dispatched.

Some friends may ask, at that time, such a big flood, Yu Ban's Seventh Army was devastated, how could Guan Yu's Jingzhou Army be alone?

It was Guan Yu's Jingzhou army that was indeed alone in this great flood. Because Guan Yu's Jingzhou army is a naval army, their base camp is on the boat, in the water village. The tide rises and the boat rises, and in this flood like the ocean, Guan Yu's Jingzhou army maintained its original combat strength.

Guan Yu saw such a big flood, and it was expected that the Seventh Army, which was destined to be forbidden, would definitely be fatally hit by the flood. And the flood is said to rise when it rises, and it retreats when it says it retreats. No one can predict how long the flood will last. We must not wait for the flood waters to recede and allow the Seventh Army to recover.

Guan Yu ordered: The whole army attacked!

Guan Yu also ordered: First of all, find Yu Ban and Pang De.

Guan Yu ordered: Cao Jun has a resistant, shoot with all your strength! But with the exception of Yu Ban and Pound.

Those who surrender are treated preferentially to prisoners.

In the early morning, the mighty Jingzhou military fleet marched in an ocean-like flood.

The sergeant reported to Guan Yu: "Report to the prince, I found that there is a long causeway in front of me, and there are many Cao troops on it. ”

Guan Yu said: "Surround the causeway. Shout: Surrender and give preferential treatment to the captives, and those who resist will be shot immediately! ”

Guan Yu's flagship approached the causeway. The banner of the word "Guan" fluttered in the morning sun.

As soon as Pang De saw Guan Yu's flagship coming, he immediately ordered: "Wave out our flag." ”

The sergeant waved the banner of "Pang".

Pang De stood under the banner and shouted loudly to Guan Yu on the flagship: "Guan Yunchang, I will let go of a piece of land, and we will have a good fight here." We don't shoot dark arrows. ”

The flagship approached the causeway, Guan Yu looked at Pang De and nodded and smiled, and said, "Ling Ming, you better abandon the darkness and turn to the light." ”

Pang De was furious and said: "Guan Yu, you don't dare to come to fight for fear of death, and you have to humiliate me Pang De." I want you to die today, and remember me Pound! ”

Pound said as he suddenly shot an arrow.

Guan Yu flicked his hand and landed the arrow on the ground.

Guan Yu smiled: "Is there anything else?" ”

Pound immediately swooped out three arrows.

Guan Yu caught the first arrow, and easily used this arrow to knock down the second and third arrows.

Pang De's anger rose, pulled over the five sergeants beside him, and ordered: "Aim at Guan Yu for me, shoot together!" Shoot Guan Yu, there is a reward! ”

Five sergeants lined up in a row.

Pound raised his hand and ordered: "Shoot!" ”

The five sergeants were just about to draw their bows when suddenly there was a rain of arrows, and all five sergeants fell to the ground with arrows.

On the deck of Guan Yu's flagship stood rows of archers, all armed with bows and arrows.

Pound looked down and saw that each deceased had at least three arrows in his body, and the arrows were all hit in the eyes, throat, heart and other vital parts.

Guan Yu smiled on the command platform: "Ling Ming, there are thousands of shooters like you in our army. ”

Pound was so angry that he screamed and wanted to pull the other sergeants to shoot. But when I looked back, there was not half a sergeant around.

Pound's 500 soldiers are all battle-hardened veterans, and when they see today's formation, they all know that no matter who they are, as long as they pick up bows and arrows, they will definitely become the live targets of the Jingzhou army on the warship, except for Pound.

So everybody ran to the other end of the embankment, far away from Pound.

Only a sergeant carrying a banner stood behind Pound.

The sergeants had run far to the other end of the embankment.

Guan Yu Zhengse said to Pang De: "Ling Ming (Pang De), where to go, let you think carefully today." Guan Mou wants to go to see Wen Ze (Yu Ban) first. ”

Guan Yu ordered: "Keep going!" ”

Guan Yu's flagship set sail.

Guan Yu looked at Pound's arrow in his hand, and suddenly bent his bow and arrow, aiming it in Pound's direction.

Pang De saw Guan Yu holding his bow and aiming it at himself, on this embankment, there was nothing to cover. Pound knew that he was going to die, and he must not die an ugly death.

Pang De posed in a big zigzag and shouted loudly: "Guan Yu, you coward!" Shoot me! ”

Guan Yu shoots arrows.

Pound closed his eyes. Just listen to the "whoosh" sound.

The standard-bearer behind Pound fell to the ground with a "plop".

The banner of the word "Pang" also fell to the ground.

Pang De looked at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu smiled and winked at Pound.

Guan Yu's flagship went away.

Guan Yu's blinking made Pang De feel embarrassed. Pound thought that Guan Yu's blinking was a sarcasm for his fear of death and closing his eyes.

Pound ran over angrily and escorted a sergeant back with a knife to carry the banner.

As soon as the sergeant raised the banner with the word "Pang", an arrow flew and killed the sergeant.

The banner of the word "Pang" fell to the ground again at once.

Pound looked.

After Guan Yu led the fleet out of the embankment, there were still two warships sailing around the embankment.

On the warship that shot the arrow just now, Liao Hua stood on the command platform.

On the other side of the embankment, there was another warship.

On the command platform of the warship, Zhou Cang stood there majestically.

Zhou Cang, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is a loyal and brave general who always follows Guan Yu and carries a big sword, but there is no historical record. But judging from Guan Yu's status and the busy needs of work, Guan Yu must have a warrior like Zhou Cang by his side.

On the Liaohua warship, the Jingzhou sergeant shouted loudly: "Treat the prisoners preferentially, and if you resist stubbornly, you will die!" ”

On Zhou Cang's warship, the Jingzhou sergeant shouted loudly: "Treat the prisoners preferentially, and if you resist stubbornly, you will die!" ”

At the other end of the embankment, Pound's personal soldiers secretly carried Pound on his back and shook the white cloth on his chest, signaling to Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang ordered: "Put down the sampan and pick up the person who wants to surrender to the ship." ”

The Zhoucang warship released three sampans and rowed towards the river embankment.

Enraged, Pound pulled arrows from the dead sergeants.

Pound stuck an arrow in his waist, then opened his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow at Liao Hua with a "whoosh".

Liao Hua was expressionless and picked up a shield to block the arrow.

Pound shot arrows one after another.

Liao Hua expressionlessly used his shield to block the arrows that came one after another.

Pound finished shooting his arrows, and looked at the big flag that had fallen to the ground.

Pound's frustration at defeat made him feel helpless, and he wanted to be a hero, but he couldn't.

Suddenly, Pang De found the two Dong Heng and Dong Chao who he thought were dark villains.

Dong Heng and Dong Chao sat not far away as if nothing had happened, watching themselves perform.

Pound immediately found someone to vent to.

Pang De rushed over, grabbed Dong Heng with one hand, grabbed Dong Chao with the other, and dragged them to the fallen flag.

Pang De said to Dong Heng and Dong Chao in his usual tone: "Two commanders, what should we do now?" ”

Dong Heng and Dong Chao looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "What should we do to conquer the vanguard of the southern capital?" ”
