The 171st decisive battle of Shouchun (3)

Previous Chapter

The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers fall! A heavy rain came very suddenly, which made Ji Ling, who was guarding the city, a little confused, how could it rain so well? There shouldn't be heavy rain this season! However, no matter what Ji Ling thought, this heavy rain was a challenge for him, although it could ease the speed of the siege of the tripartite alliance, but it was also a big problem for the preservation of grain and grass!

"Pass the order, the army must not move lightly, even if it is forbidden to attack the city, let him cross the moat, even if he still attacks with water, do not meet the enemy at will! Let the soldiers seize the time to recuperate, and let the five thousand soldiers build another wall in the rear of the Cao army's water attack! Ji Ling thought for a while

"Yes! General! ”

"The general has seen Cao Jun's plan!" Yan Xiang asked

"Yes, you told me last time that Yu Ban was going to flood Shouchun, and now it seems that the time is ripe!" Ji Ling smiled a little wryly

"How's that done? It's hard to prepare now! Prince Yuan Yao couldn't help but say

"Huh! Once Cao Jun releases the water, I'm afraid they won't be able to control the flow of the water! Ji Ling said mysteriously

"Order the guards to open the first three tunnels and put the water behind Liu Beijun!" Ji Ling said with a smile, for the place where Liu Bei set up camp, Ji Ling didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky, it was originally a good place, but unfortunately it was a secret passage that Ji Ling had left a long time ago, if it wasn't for Yu Ban suddenly coming to such a hand, he would have wanted to raid Liu Bei's army at night!

"General, isn't this a bit risky, what if Liu Bei kills in along the tunnel?" Yan Xiang said

"Why do you ask that?" Ji Ling was a little puzzled, he really couldn't figure it out, how could he ask such a stupid question, as soon as the flood came, it was too late to escape, how could he dare to kill inside!

"Does Yu Ban want a ruined Shouchun City?" Yan Xiang smiled

"This?"

"Yu Ban wants our grain and grass materials, and he won't release water until the last resort, even if he really does this, the final winner can't tell who it is!" Yan Xiangdao,

"Mr. Takami!" Although Ji Ling felt that there was such a sense of truth in this thing, he was still a little unsure in his heart, after all, Yan Xiang's IQ was just like that, in Ji Ling's eyes, Yan Xiang was almost the same as himself, and even sometimes inferior to himself, but he still deployed according to his own orders, and did not adopt Yan Xiang's opinion at all!

Just when a few people in Shouchun City were making up their brains, Yu Ban saw that the water level was about the same. directly arranged for the army to occupy the favorable terrain, and at the same time sent someone to notify Liu Bei, Lu Bu and others!

"General, it's almost!" Cao Chun was a little excited, Xiahoudun had already gone to prepare, and now he was sending his own order!

"Alright, go and inform General Yuanrang! Let's teach Ji Ling a good lesson! Yu Ban said with a smile, and his heart was also more eager to open the gap in Shouchun!

"Good come!" Cao Chun laughed and ran out!

Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging, what is out of control, what is a thousand miles, today Ji Ling knows, he saw the water intercepted by Cao Jun, like ten thousand horses galloping, the momentum shook the sky, like a steel knife cut on the city wall. The tall city wall was immediately like a spider web, cracked one by one, and after withstanding two impacts, it gloriously and successfully completed its mission! It fell, without the slightest hesitation, as if any more second of delay would be disrespectful to the water.

"Pay attention to protection, open all the tunnels!" Ji Ling had already made arrangements at the first time, and the huge shock almost threw him out of the city wall, and at this moment, he didn't care about the frightened Yan Xiang and the loss of the city, and hurriedly commanded the men and horses to defend!

"Take advantage of the fact that the Cao army can't enter, hurry up and guard the city wall!" Ji Ling shouted loudly, for fear that others wouldn't hear it!

"General, is the city wall still useful?" Yan Xiang cried and said with a sad face,

"It works! Where the city wall is, there is a foothold! Yuan Yao said

"Congratulations General! Aren't we ready to send troops? Watching a city wall collapse, revealing the dwellings in Shouchun City, Cao Chun couldn't help but say

"Don't worry, the city wall has been broken, and it is a matter of time before Shouchun City is broken, but there are too many soldiers and horses at present, and the water is turbulent, which is not conducive to the full development of the army. Yu Ban said with a smile

"And when are we going to attack?"

"Wait! Wait for Liu Bei and Lu Bu's soldiers and horses! ”

The water entered Shouchun City, and there was no large-scale diffusion, thanks to Ji Ling's arrangements in advance, it only occupied about one-third of the area, and it flowed underground, the water flow was turbulent, like an ordinary galloping horse, with Ji Ling's hope flowing into the dark channel, at this time Ji Ling smiled, although the city was broken, but as long as it was still in his hands, Cao Jun could not enter, at this time it is estimated that all the horses are waiting for the water to fade, and then come to attack, this time difference is what they need most!

"Pass the order, step up the repair of the city wall, and the others will give me a good guard of the gap, and I will let Yu Ban taste our strength!" Ji Ling said loudly, one is to deal with the current situation, and the other is the most important, that is, to raise morale!

"No!" The herald shouted, his voice revealing a hint of excitement!

Liu Bei's military camp, the soldiers are all dressed neatly, and Zhang Fei who is anxious doesn't know how many times he has walked back and forth, and Guan Yunchang is one head and two big!

"I said third brother, you can't stop waiting!" Guan Yu couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to persuade

"Second brother! How can you let me calm down, he Yu Wen has already opened the gap in Shouchun, as long as the water recedes, it will be time for us to destroy Yuan Shu, the thief! Zhang Fei said excitedly

"It will take half a day for the water to go down!" Liu Bei couldn't help but smile bitterly

"Boom!" "Big brother, you ......" Before Zhang Fei finished speaking, there was a sudden roar, which made Liu Bei feel a little bad for a while, could it be that Yu Ban would do it to himself now, or Lu Bu, the two or five boys, began to rebel!

"Wow!" The sound of water came from bursts, which made Guan Yu also wonder a little, why did this water already flow outside the city?

"My lord, it's not good! The water is coming to us! Mi Fang suddenly broke in and shouted loudly, one sentence directly scared Taoyuan Sankeng to pee!

"What do you say? You bastard! I'll kill you! Zhang Fei was furious,

"Third brother, shut up! Let's go out and see what's going on first! Liu Bei's face was pale

Liu Bei's handsome account is in a high place, but his soldiers are in a low place, this time, most of the 50,000 soldiers have been soaked, and the rest have basically lost their combat effectiveness, and they are all salvaging personnel!

"Where does the water come from?" Guan Yu asked with a murderous aura

"Behind the big camp!" Mi Zhu said

"Back?"

"Not bad! It should be a culvert in the city, but the camping place we chose is a little ......" Mi Zhu didn't finish speaking, he secretly glanced at Liu Bei, and automatically swallowed his words, after all, this place was personally selected by Liu Bei!

"Abominable Ji Ling!" Zhang Fei also lost his temper, and was injured by mistake, at this time, suddenly Lu Bujun was also in chaos, and the people turned over on their backs, which made Liu Bei and the others smile bitterly! It seems that God is still quite fair, but he is also a little speechless about his and Lu Bu's luck!

"Order the soldiers to evacuate immediately, protect your weapons and food, we can't let these things fall into the hands of the enemy!" There was a hint of firmness in Liu Bei's voice, and he knew that he had to remain calm at the moment.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei quickly moved to direct the soldiers to retreat in an orderly manner, while protecting important supplies. There was chaos in the camp, but the orders of the three were effectively carried out.

Soon, the water began to gradually weaken, but the direction of Shouchun City was still a mess. Liu Bei looked at the smoke and dust in the distance, and couldn't help but feel emotional. He knew that although the battle was a heavy loss, it was only a matter of time before Shouchun City was lost. He must adjust his strategy as soon as possible to remain competitive in this battle.

"Big brother, what should we do now?" Guan Yu asked.

Liu Bei was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Pass the order, let the whole army prepare, once Shouchun City is completely lost, we will immediately launch a general attack." At the same time, send an envoy to Lu Bu's camp to inform him of our plan and ask him to cooperate. ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded in agreement, then turned around and left, getting busy. Liu Bei looked at their backs and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this war would have a successful conclusion.

In Cao Jun's camp, Yu Ban looked in the direction of Shouchun City, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He knew that the water attack had achieved the desired effect. As long as Shouchun City is broken, the entire Yuan Shu's power will collapse.

"General, we should attack as soon as possible and pursue the victory." Cao Chun suggested.

Yu Ban waved his hand: "Don't worry, it's not the time yet." Although Shouchun City was broken, Yuan Shu's power did not completely collapse. We have to wait patiently and wait for Liu Bei and Lu Bu's moves. ”

Although Cao Chun was a little puzzled, he still obeyed the order. He knew that Yu Ban's way of using troops had always been unfathomable, and he believed that he would have a good strategy.

At this time, Ji Ling in Shouchun City was also nervously deployed. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the city was lost, but he was determined to delay as much time as possible and prepare for a counterattack.

"General, we should evacuate as soon as possible so as not to be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy." Yan Xiang suggested.

Ji Ling glared at him: "What are you panicking about?" We still have three tunnels, and as long as we make good use of them, we have the possibility of turning defeat into victory. Pass the order down, let the soldiers hold their positions and wait for the opportunity. ”

Yan Xiang took the order and left, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. But he knew that he could only rely on Ji Ling at this time, hoping to make a turnaround.

Ji Ling was bitter in his heart, retreated, this is already the outer city of Shouchun, and then retreat is the inner city, once he arrives in the inner city, he will still make a fart, just this group of tigers and wolves, and not tear Yuan Jun to pieces. Looking at the movements of the Cao army from afar, Ji Ling could only do his best to maintain the morale of the city, this flood was not only an obstacle for the Yuan army, but also an obstacle for the enemy army, the only difference was that the damage to the city wall was irreversible!

"Send someone to the city, look at the dark passage, Liu Bei will definitely send someone to kill him from the inside, and he must leave all his people in the dark passage!" Ji Ling lightly commanded his own soldiers, although his words were not high, and there was even a trace of haggardness, but the murderous aura contained in it made the soldiers around him shudder, they knew that their general had a murderous intent!

Three days, in a flash! "Kill!" Lu Bu looked indifferent and murderous, he didn't have many soldiers and horses in his own house, and it was acceptable to reduce the number of candidates as soon as the water rushed, but this grain and grass were even more stretched, and fortunately, Gao Shun was trapped in the camp, otherwise Lu Bu would have to go home, and this was about to go in, and with such a hand, Lu Bu had a killing intent towards Cao Jun!

"Whoa!" Gao Shun directly received the order!

There are four major military feats on the ancient battlefield, which are beheading, capturing the flag, trapping, and ascending first! Among them, the first to climb is the most, and the first to climb the city wall as the name suggests! Gao Shun's trapping camp is generally deep into the enemy camp, fighting alone, tearing apart the depth of defense on the opposite side, opening the way to victory for the army, or it is the role of breaking the rear, but Gao Shun is confident that his own soldiers can not only fall into battle, but also be able to climb first!

"Attack!" Trapped in the camp, a thousand people, murderous like a rainbow, no temperature can be seen on the cold face, Gao Shun held a spear in his hand and personally led the team, Lu Bu then pressed the formation, slowly moving forward, the speed was not fast, but the atmosphere of slaughter was suppressed by the sound of running water!

"Attack!" Liu Bei waved his double-strand sword, and took Zhang Fei to kill it, approaching the Shouchun City Wall!

Cao Chun Xiahoudun's army also slowly pressed up, although there was still some water, but most places could already use soldiers, and the coalition army was like a wolf and a tiger, shaking the gate of Shouchun City!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The brave wins when the narrow road meets, the siege battle is a real sword and real gun fight, there is no trick at all, not long before the city wall is paved with a thick layer of corpses, this is still with the help of the water, the Yuan army has lost a lot of materials, and the city wall has also collapsed, otherwise there will be more casualties!

"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life! Trap the camp, rush in with me! Gao Shun rushed to the gap and killed it directly in one go! With a slash of the war knife in his hand, Yuan Jun's heads flew up one after another, and pieces of corpses fell!

"Bastard! Send another 2,000 people over and give me a stand-off! Ji Ling frowned and said with a murderous awe

"Good! Kill it! Lu Bu laughed, holding Fang Tian's halberd, he was already looking for a place to attack, because he showed a halberd with a hand, which caused Ji Ling to add many grades to his protection, so that Lu Bu didn't have any chance to order Ji Ling's good head!

"The lord doesn't have to risk the bow and arrow, he also needs to guard against Cao Liu!" Seeing that Lu Bu was going to open up, Chen Gong hurriedly stopped him, he had to grab grain and grass at this time, if he threw everyone here, wouldn't this Xuzhou change hands again

"Thank you Miyadai for the reminder!" Lu Bu smiled lightly, glanced at Liu Beijun on the way, but didn't see Guan Yu, and frowned involuntarily, feeling a little bad in his heart.

"Have you ever seen Guan Yunchang?" Lu Bu was a little puzzled, as the number one general under Liu Bei, he didn't show up at this critical time, which is very abnormal!

"No, I'm worried about Liu Bei and Cao Cao conspiring now, attacking a Shouchun that can be won at any time is fake, and Xuzhou is their ultimate goal!" Chen Gong sneered

"Please teach me, sir!" Lu Bu hurriedly said

"Wen Hou doesn't have to worry too much, they won't do it before Yuan Shu is destroyed, if they dare to do it now, I think we have a chance to eat Cao Cao's soldiers and horses!" Chen Gong laughed

"How is this possible? Liu Bei won't watch Cao Cao fail? "Lu Bu is puzzled, charging into battle is Lu Bu's strength, especially the cavalry, now in this time period, Lu Bu can be said to be the first cavalry, but use his brain, Lu Bu is not as good as Zhang Fei!

"After the defeat of Shouchun, Liu Bei will have a place, soldiers and food, and it is not normal to form an alliance with us and eat Cao Cao's soldiers and horses! Occupy Huainan, tie up the Sun family in the east, connect Jingzhou in the west, Liu Beijin can attack and retreat, and I am in Xuzhou, Cao Cao doesn't dare to let go if he wants to take Huainan! "Chen Gong has already anticipated the next big battle, it depends on how long this Ji Ling can drag on, the longer the time, the more unfavorable it will be for Cao Cao, after all, there is still a Yuan Shao Chengfeng in Hebei!

"Then how can you be sure that Liu Bei got Huainan? Why can't we take Yuan Shu! Lu Bu frowned

"If we take Huainan, we will become the next Yuan Shu!"

"Shhh Lu Bu gasped a mouthful of cold water, which was good. After all, the people in Huainan have a bad relationship with themselves, pointing to the eight strong generals under him, Lu Bu is not confident at all!

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The Cao army under the command of Yu Ban began to exert its might, and it attacked Shouchun City one after another! Shouchun looked precarious, but he just didn't attack it, no matter how many people came, Ji Ling could always block it back!

"Damn! I don't need this tiger and leopard to ride! Cao Chun punched himself hatefully, his cavalry was completely useless!

"Huh! The little general doesn't have to worry, three days later, ask the little general to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry straight to Xuzhou to cut off Lu Bu and Liu Bei's retreat! Yu Ban's eyes sparkled

"Shhh Hearing this, Cao Chun was taken aback, and he admired the strategy of banning, which was not small in the ban, not only to Huainan, but also to take Xuzhou easily. In this way, it directly quadrupled Boss Cao's territory. "The last general obeys!" Cao Chun said excitedly

"I hope that Ji Ling will hold on for a while longer, and consume Liu Bei's morale!" Yu Ban said with a smile,

"Haha! The general's scheming will definitely be able to accomplish his work in one battle! ”

"Our army is full of 150,000 horses, and it is time to make an appearance, if you can take Huainan, you will first kill it to seize the grain and grass, if not, remember the secret way, burn the grain and grass, and then wave the army and go straight to Xuzhou!"

"No!"
