Chapter 69: Flooding the Seventh Army
Yu Ban and Pang De, one is the elite of the Cao Army in the North, and the other is the fierce general of Xiliang at the beginning, and they are extremely familiar with the shock caused by the galloping of thousands of horses.
Doesn't that feel right?
Besides, how can the Jingzhou army have so many horses?
The two stopped arguing and went out to check together, and the result was ......
At the end of the distant line of sight, the waterline of flowers seemed to be becoming more and more obvious.
!!
After all, he is also a veteran of the battlefield, and Yu Ban did not open his mouth like a fool in the face of this spectacular scene in front of him, waiting for the monstrous waves to destroy his army.
"Quickly send an order to the Seventh Army, withdraw! Retreat to the northeast for me! Yu Ban's eyes were blood-red, and he grabbed the guards' clothes, "I don't want any food, grass, and siege ordnance!"
"Those who have horses ride horses, and those who don't have horses run as hard as I can! Right away! Immediately!! Do you understand?! ”
To the northeast, there is a place with high terrain.
At this time, Pound secretly rejoiced in his heart that being targeted also had the benefit of being targeted.
His headquarters did not enter Pinglu City, but happened to be arranged in the northeast as a strategy, and the bows and arrows were complete, and there was no need for the weapons in the city.
At this time, Pang De didn't care about what to say to Yu Ban, turned his head and ran to his white horse, whipped the horse after getting on the horse, and ran to find his own part as soon as he slipped away.
However, the elite of the Seventh Army under the command of General Yu Ban was not so lucky......
The average horse, which can reach a top speed of 60 km/h, is the "maximum" speed.
And what about the speed of the flood? The lowest is almost 72 km/h......
It didn't take long for a spectacular waterline in the distance, which was originally in the distance, to arrive at Pinglu City as a rolling wave.
Boom ——!
After thousands of years without falling, but the Pinglu city wall, which has long been strong from the outside, could not resist the power of nature at this moment, and collapsed with a bang......
The buildings in the city were crushed like toys.
A large amount of grain and grass that Cao Jun did not take away were all swept into the torrent and soaked in water at this moment.
If Yu Ban hadn't ordered a retreat in time, he would have been hit by the water with such a force, coupled with the collapsed buildings and city walls, he was afraid that he would have suffered heavy casualties.
However, not even a four-legged horse could outrun a flood, let alone a two-legged man.
It was the army that did not escape far before it was overtaken by the water......
Cao's army, which fled northeast in a panic, was all swept up in the merciless flood at this time.
Cao Cao's elite Guanzhong can only float and sink in the water at this moment, feeling his insignificance in front of the power of heaven and earth.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Pinglu City, which was washed away by the flood before, has become a key lifesaver for Cao Jun at this time.
And when the flood arrives here, it does not have the huge impact force it used to have, so that it will not shoot people to death at once.
Therefore, the number of people who Cao Jun was drowned at the moment was only a thousand people, which was very few.
The officers and colonels who successfully mounted their horses, some of the elite cavalry, including General Yu himself, were also washed away by the flood, but they were not far from here, and there were high places that had not yet been flooded.
For example, General Yu Da of Yu Deshui finally led these officers and colonels who were close to him to swim ashore after unremitting efforts.
Just looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Ban, who had escaped death temporarily, couldn't be happy anyway.
The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes...... It's really clean.
"Look, General! What is that? An officer beside him pointed in the direction he had come.
Yu Ban, who was immersed in sadness, raised his eyes and looked at countless warships waving flags in the distance, which were sailing through the water.
Although he was too far away to see the banner clearly, Yu Ban had already closed his eyes.
Do you still need to see this? Who else could there be so many ships here?
He has now figured out all the causes and consequences, and he was defeated by Guan Yu without a single soldier by breaking the embankment and releasing the water.
"The tide is gone......
……
When he saw the long-haired man standing tall on the bow of the boat, General Yu did not hesitate or struggle, and knelt directly.
Not only Yu Ban, but all the officers and colonels around him also knelt down at the same time.
Beat? Fight to the death or not surrender?
What are you going to fight, the bows on the warships are ready to be fired, and the bows and arrows and soldiers on their side are all soaking in the water!
"Congratulations Father! This time, my father took down 30,000 elites of Cao Wei without spending a single soldier, and Cao Cao's general trend has gone! Father's battle will surely go down in history! ”
Guan Ping's excitement and joy were about to overflow from his face.
This is an unprecedented victory! The kind that is enough to go down in history is the supreme glory of being a martial artist, and of course I am extremely excited.
Guan Yu was also smiling at this time: "Hehe, don't be in a hurry to celebrate first." Leave the men to gather and surrender, and the others will follow me in pursuit. ”
"Yes!"
Although Pang De's troops were not as miserable as Yu Ban, they were also besieged by the water, and when Guan Yu's army came by boat, Pang De decisively ordered the troops trapped in the lonely embankment to fight back.
It's just that except for himself, the morale of the others is long gone, and they were killed and injured by the arrows sent by Guan Yu's ship.
The Jingzhou navy calmly hid behind the boat gang and returned fire, almost unscathed.
Dong Heng under his command couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said: "General, it is impossible for our army to win, it is better to ......"
Dong Chao also said: "Yes, general, if you stay useful, maybe there will be a chance...... Let's go down first. ”
Pound was glaring: "Good generals are not afraid of death, do not ruin the festival and seek to live, today is the day of my death!" ”
After that, he drew his sword and beheaded Dong Heng and Dong Chao first, and won the record of the highest general in this battle!
It doesn't matter which side of the general is killed, you just say that you don't cut it, right?
General Pang, who did not mention how he joined Cao's army when he spoke, was defeated in battle, and hurriedly found a surviving boat and planned to escape to Fancheng.
Guan Yu and his son laughed at General Pang, who couldn't row, spinning in place in the big waves, and finally capsized and fell into the water......
Pang De, who was finally caught, thought clearly, he couldn't descend anymore, and if he descended, he would become a repeated person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and even if he reached Liu Bei, he would not be reused.
What's more, Liu Bei's cavalry is scarce, and there is no place for him to be useful.
It was to rather die than surrender, scolded Guan Yu, and the heart of death was very strong, and finally begged to die.
……
Fancheng.
When the water flooded to Fancheng, it no longer had that invincible momentum.
But for rammed earth walls, immersion in water can still be fatal.
After a long time, it is still inevitable that the city will be broken.
Seeing this situation, some generals under Cao Ren advised: "General, now that the flood is flooding, there is no news of General Yuban's reinforcements, I am afraid it has ......
"Why don't we take advantage of Guan Yu's arrival and abandon the city in a small boat overnight. If it is surrounded in this lonely city, it will be destroyed sooner or later. ”
Cao Ren was entangled in his heart at this time.
Looking forward to it day and night, looking forward to 30,000 reinforcements, temporarily relieved the siege of Fancheng.
I thought it would frustrate Guan Yu's spirit...... Why don't you say it's gone?
Runan, who was too guarded on the side, saw Cao Ren's vacillation in his heart at this time, and said hurriedly: "General, you can't withdraw!" When the water comes, it will go quickly.
"Guan Yu didn't dare to take advantage of the situation to go north, just because he was afraid that we would attack from behind. If you abandon the city at this time...... South of the Honghe River, there are also non-complex countries! ”
Cao Ren made a decision and decided to stick to Fancheng.
In order to show his determination, Man Chong drowned his white horse and swore to defend it with the whole army in the city.
Fancheng went through a great battle, and was finally surrounded by Guan Yu again.
At the same time, the news that General Cao Jun surrendered without a fight, Pang De was beheaded, and the entire elite Seventh Army was wiped out quickly spread to the three forces......
The world is shaking!
