Dark clouds as black as ink hung over Gangneung Castle, and although it was daytime, it was as dark as dusk, and the whole world was soaked with rain.

Historically, this shower has rained for more than ten days, followed by two months of light and light rain, which is a flash flood that has not been encountered in a thousand years.

Although there have been more than 200 records of catastrophic disasters on the Yangtze River since the Western Zhou Dynasty, such a devastating disaster is often only once in tens or hundreds of years, which is extremely rare, which shows how harmful it is to be flooded like this.

Under such a torrential rain, the heavens and the earth were gray, and the Yangtze River was surging towards Gangneung City, and the waterway that was connected to the river completely overflowed, forming a terrible above-ground river.

Lightning lit up the sky, thunder exploded overhead, and torrential rain ravaged the riverside city, and with that loud thud, the walls collapsed.

Countless Jiangdong troops fled from the south to the north in disarray, because the river was still pouring into the city, but then they returned.

Under the command of the generals, many people rushed towards the rolling torrent like ants, filling the terrible breach with the mud and sand, with woven straw bags, with rolling boulders, and even with their bodies.

But no one can stop it, the power of nature is incomparably terrifying, in the stormy waves, people are like some dust, easily swept into the waves by the river, silently.

"It's over, it's over."

"Hold me, don't let go, ah....."

"Ahh O God! O God! Why do you want to do this! ”

Some people in the Jiangdong Army hugged their heads and cried, some were swept away by the wind and waves, and some raised their hands and roared to the sky.

It was still raining in the sky, and it would not give people any response except the storm that washed away everything in the world.

Countless muddy rivers poured into the city, and wooden planks, sundries, houses, brick walls, and debris eventually gathered into a torrent that swept the entire city.

Lu Meng was still facing the menacing Shen Chen Army on the tower of Beicheng City at this time, and when he heard the loud noise behind him, he rushed to the rear city wall for the first time, and when he saw the roar of collapse, his face turned pale.

The city was already in turmoil, and the water poured into the city along the water gates that led in all directions, quickly overflowing all the streets, and many of the low-rise houses were already submerged.

Although it has not yet reached the height of five or six zhang recorded in history, when the flood can be submerged to a zhang high, whether it is one zhang or five or six zhang, it is no longer meaningful.

Because even the houses in the city are almost rarely more than a foot high, a large number of warehouses on higher ground have been flooded, and there are few supplies and ordnance left, and it is difficult for Gangneung City to hold on.

Many soldiers were swept by the tide and could only run to the city wall, the east and west city walls were the longest, there were 1.8 kilometers, the north and south were shorter, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was only 1.2 kilometers, at this time there were only 0.7 kilometers, and the four sections of the city wall with a total length of no more than 5 kilometers were densely packed with people.

Lu Meng looked at the flooded city in the rain with red eyes, ran to the north like crazy again, and shouted: "Shen Chen, how did Shen Chen do it, did he know that the wall was going to collapse today, how did he do it, this is impossible!" ”

Yang Tian's roar couldn't get any response, and Yu Fu beside him tried to dissuade him: "General, now is not the time to care about this, the river is soaring, flooding the city, and if you don't retreat, the whole army will be annihilated." ”

"Authentic, authentic."

One of the generals pointed to the river gushing out in the distance and shouted: "They dug tunnels inside and outside the city, so the river came and the tunnels collapsed, causing the walls to fall." ”

Lu Meng's hideous face looked into the city, and what he saw was the river gushing in the tunnel gurgling like a fountain.

Countless soldiers were swallowed up by the tumbling river, and they were caught up in the waves without making a splash.

After just one glance, Lu Meng turned his head to look at the north of the city, and the melodious horn of "woo" in the distance sounded, even in the wind and rain, it was faintly transmitted, and the Nanyang army was marching southward, getting closer and closer to the city.

He roared, "Open the east gate and withdraw from Gangneung." ”

"Withdraw, withdraw."

"Gangneung City can't hold it, so the general asked us to open the east gate and withdraw."

"Hurry up and go in the direction of Yun Mengze."

The soldiers shouted one after another, and the city was in chaos, and countless soldiers crowded the east gate, running towards the east gate with water.

Compared to Gangneung Castle, which has become a kingdom of Ze, the outside of the city is fine, and the current is only ankle-wetting, just because the city wall collapsed and the river water poured in, causing the water level in the city to skyrocket.

After opening the east gate, it was like a flood, a large amount of water poured out of the east gate, and soon the water level dropped slightly, and countless soldiers also flocked down the city wall and ran out.

More than 30,000 soldiers were on the city wall, some were at the east gate, and some were drowned in the water, and countless corpses floated in the torrent in the city.

At this moment, outside the city, Xu Shengbu was stationed at Yunmengze Wharf.

Sun Quan gave Lü Meng 60,000 men to defend Jiangling, except for the 8,000 that Ding Feng had taken away, the rest was divided into two parts, one in Jiangling City, and the other near the higher dock in the east of the city, guarding the ships.

The situation on Xu Sheng's side was much stronger than that on Lu Meng's side, and almost as soon as Shen Chen's army moved south, he had already begun to gather soldiers as soon as possible.

The scout quickly reported to him the news that the city wall in the southeast corner of Jiangling City had been soaked by the flood and the roots of the wall had been corroded by the river, and Xu Sheng was taken aback and immediately sent soldiers to meet him.

There was a commotion outside the east city, and the most troublesome thing was that the army of Shen Chen in the north in the distance was still attacking this side one foot deep and one foot shallow, but because the Yangtze River was also flooding from south to north, they were almost flooded, and the speed was not fast.

Shen Chen was soaked all over at this time, the water under his feet had already flooded his calves, and the wind and waves were surging, but fortunately it was autumn and winter, and the north wind was blowing in the south, and if it was a southeast wind in the opposite direction, it was estimated that it would be worse.

The general, Shen Tao, came to his side and shouted at him, "General, do you want to attack now?" ”

"Huh?"

"Attack now?"

"Wait."

Because the sound of wind and rain and the sound of water are so loud that they need to roar.

Shen Chen could only gesture to Shen Tao, signaling them to go southeast first and cut off Lu Meng's way out of the city.

At this time, the Jiangdong army rushed out of the east gate, fluttering in the water in embarrassment, moving with difficulty.

The Nanyang army quickly approached and did not attack at the first time.

The reason is that on a slope to the southeast, Xu Sheng's soldiers have already set up an offensive, and as long as they dare to come, the enemy can attack from the flank.

Therefore, Shen Chen decided to wait and see the situation first, wait until the enemy was ready to retreat and board the ship, and take advantage of the chaotic period to launch a general attack.

"Bang!"

There was another loud thunderclap, which startled everyone and couldn't help but squat down and dodge.

This is human instinct, even Shen Chen is no exception.

When he raised his head again and looked into the distance, Lu Meng's army withdrew like ants from Jiangling and left in the direction of Yun Mengze's dock.

Xu Sheng's camp was relatively high, and they were condescending, and the archers aimed at the northwest.

Although in such northerly weather, they shoot arrows against the wind, and the range is definitely not far, but after all, this side is wading forward, and the speed is slow and difficult to dodge, and it is easy to be a target, so there is no need to cause casualties.

Lu Meng walked out of the city with difficulty, he looked at the city for the last time, and before he could have any nostalgia, there was another boom, and the city wall in the southeast corner completely collapsed, and the river in the south poured in again, and the whole city fell into a country.

"Ziming!"

Xu Sheng was relieved to see that Lu Mengjun had successfully withdrawn, and greeted him and said, "It's good to be safe and sound." ”

Lu Meng's whole face was distorted, and he said sadly: "God doesn't bless Jiangdong." ”

Xu Sheng could only comfort: "Now the top priority is to withdraw to the ship as soon as possible, even if it is to let Shen Chen go back to Yizhou?" Liu Bei lost Jingzhou after all, and Wu Hou won a big victory in this battle. ”

"A big win?"

Lu Meng laughed miserably: "Letting Shen Chen go back is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, there will be a fight between Liu Bei and Wu Hou in the future, Liu Bei's strength is still there, isn't it for Cao Cao's profit?" Only by killing Shen Chen and destroying all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou will they not dare to fight with us. ”

"Ugh."

Yu sighed, patted Lu Meng's back and said, "Ziming, let's withdraw first." ”

"Withdraw!"

Xu Sheng gave a military order in place of Lü Meng.

More than 30,000 people evacuated in disarray towards the high slope to the east, and then headed for the dock.

In the distance, Shen Chen's army was scattered outside the north of Jiangling City, about half a mile to the east, and they waded towards this side, and the two sides were already very close.

Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, even Lu Chang hurriedly waded over like a duck and shouted, "General, they are going to run away." ”

"I can't run."

Shen Chen pointed to the surface of the mighty Yangtze River in the south and said to him, "What do you think is that? ”

The soldiers around them all looked that way.

I saw that on the gray river, I don't know when countless tall ships appeared, they collected their sails, and all relied on the flow of water down the river, up and down in the flood, galloping all the way.

After arriving in Jiangling, one of them did not continue to choose to go south, but rushed east, heading in the direction of Yun Mengze.

Gangneung is in the direction of the north of the Yangtze River, but the Yangtze River will make a sharp turn in the direction of the east of Gangneung to the south, and the east side will produce an alluvial fan plain under the erosion of the river, which is located in the area of Shacheng City in later generations.

At that time, it was also land, Xu Sheng's army was stationed here, and the Yangtze River washed the area into a high slope, and the terrain was higher than flooded.

However, this place is also connected to Yunmengze in the north, there is a ditch through it, and in later generations, this ditch leads to Changhu Lake, Jiangjin Lake and the Yangtze River, but now due to the surge of the river, Yunmengze is still waiting for a few reasons, from this ditch to the north, directly to the east of Jiangling Yunmengze.

The current in Yunmengze is not as turbulent as the Yangtze River, so the boats in Gangneung are all placed on the Yunmengze pier. At this time, the main forces of the Jiangdong Army were all marching towards the wharf, along the high slope road, to the north.

Countless Jiangdong soldiers braved the rain to advance, they were on the left bank of the ditch connecting Yunmengze and the Yangtze River, just as they were struggling to move forward, as soon as they turned their heads, they saw the warship in the ditch higher than the hill, flying into the lake of Yunmengze.

Many people even subconsciously thought that this was their own ship, because in their subconscious, there were only 50,000 sailors in Jingzhou, of which more than 30,000 were trapped in Xiakou by Sun Quan, and most of the ships were burned, and the enemy had no fleet.

Therefore, most of the Jiangdong soldiers did not shout and panic at all, but were a little happy, they all thought that Sun Jiaoding Fengjun in the northwest was located in Yiling Yidao and other places sent ships back to rescue.

But on a small hill outside the Yunmengze Wharf, Lu Meng had already seen the ships coming from the direction of the Yangtze River in the south, and he shouted, "Whose boat is that?" ”

"Could it be that Ding Feng is back?"

Because of the gloomy weather, Xu Sheng couldn't see it very clearly, and guessed: "Now only Ding Feng and Sun Jiao have boats in their hands." ”

"Not like that."

Yu rolled his eyes and frowned: "Looking like that, it doesn't seem to be a ship from Jiangdong." ”

Lü Meng only stood for two seconds, then looked frightened and shouted, "Quick, let the soldiers get on the boat and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

"Facing the enemy?"

Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment.

"Meet the enemy, that's not Jiangdong's ship!"

Lu Meng roared at him with red eyes, and the spit was about to spray on Xu Sheng's face.

Xu Sheng suddenly came to his senses, rushed down the hill with a rolling belt, and shouted to the heralds: "Immediately order all departments to speed up the ship and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

"Let's go."

Lu Meng also went down the hill and almost ran to the boat.

But in the wind and rain, the ship was already extremely turbulent, and tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops were crowded, even if they were well-trained on weekdays, how could they get on the ship as soon as possible in a short period of time?

There were almost less than 10,000 people in the front army, and Lu Meng had just run to his main ship, standing on the deck and watching.

The fleet that sailed into Yunmengze from the ditch had already appeared at the end of their field of vision, one after another, which made Lu Meng's mood sink to the bottom, and he constantly ordered the heralds to blow horns, beat gongs and drums, and prepare for battle.

Soon, as he continued to urge, many ships of the Jiangdong Army sailed out of the dock, and more than a dozen warships were sparsely pulled, plus more than 100 boats, which were unexpected, exposed, and walked, and less than 10,000 people lined up.

However, when hundreds of warships appeared on the lake, the originally noisy Jiangdong Army fleet seemed to stand still in an instant.

Everyone looked in amazement at the countless boats that were speeding towards them on the lake, and compared with them, their hastily arranged fleet of a hundred or so small boats was like stones thrown into the sea, unable to turn up a single wave.

After being silent for a few seconds, a miserable smile appeared on Lu Meng's pale face, and he said, "It seems that not only is God not bless Jiangdong, but Shen Chen has long been calculating us, escape, escape!" ”

"Run!"

Lü Meng's main ship gave the order to escape.

The same was true of the main ship on Xu Sheng's side, he roared angrily on the ship: "Run, how many ships can escape, immediately withdraw to Xiakou and report to Wu Hou." ”

"Bang!"

Before they could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and the first enemy ship had already run over a small predator ship and approached them.

On the deck of the ship stood like an iron tower, a seventy-year-old soldier, majestic in the wind and rain, his bulging bronze muscles exposed, his white beard fluttering in the wind, and his murderous eyes staring at the enemy ships.

I, Huang Hansheng, today is the time to become famous all over the world!

Huang Zhong clenched the long knife in his hand, waved it forward, and shouted: "Order, surround the dock, and don't let go of a Jiangdong ship!" ”
