Chapter 134: Water Floods
After Huang Zhong beheaded several Cao Qi who did not believe in evil in a row.
The hundred horsemen who rushed over with Le Jin looked at the foot soldiers who came out in a row behind Huang Zhong, and then looked at the generals who were lying on the ground not far away and watering the land with blood, as well as several robes.
A group of people looked at each other and finally chose to dismount and surrender.
Those who have strong eyes also picked up the long lance and handed it back to General Huang.
Then Huang Zhong was silent, holding a long lance in his hand and riding on a majestic horse, watching his subordinates shout loudly for Cao Qi to surrender.
The cavalry, which was blocked by the boulders, fell into a state of inaccessibility.
After some hesitation, someone stepped forward to ask for surrender, and someone led the horse back to Xiangyang City, and passed back the news that Le Jin had died.
As a result, the morale of Xiangyang City suddenly collapsed to the end.
Huang Zhong was surrendered in an orderly manner outside the city.
The battle against Xiangyang belongs to Huang Zhong's volunteer, as a veteran who has been here for more than ten years, he is also clear about the advantages and disadvantages of Xiangyang City.
In the early stage, he used giant boats and sailors to deter Xiangyang City, so that Lejin did not dare to attack easily, and then seized the opportunity to block the valley, and the battle of Xiangyang was basically half won.
In the middle, there are all kinds of ideas from Xu Shujun's military division, judging that with Lejin's style, as long as Huang Zhong takes the bait, Lejin will definitely surprise desperately.
Every time you get into the battle first, it's a big gamble, so it's okay to lose it once.
As for the rolling stone trenches that are only made at night, they are not worth mentioning.
Huang Zhong rode on his horse and looked north, General Guan and Xu Junshi were fighting bloodily, but he couldn't help much for the time being.
After all, even if he beheaded Le Jin and left the dragons of Xiangyang City leaderless, the remaining soldiers were still a big trouble, so he still couldn't walk away here in a short time.
Shaking his head, Huang Zhong then looked to the west, that embankment, it should be the mountain capital sixty miles away, right?
The soldiers at the head of Xiangyang City have become more and more unscrupulous, after all, the generals have already left the city, who can control them?
"If the general wins, will we go back and attack this Fancheng?"
The other sneered:
"Isn't going south also a siege? Yicheng has to attack any of them, but Jiangling shouldn't have to think about it. ”
"So if the general is defeated......
This topic is too dangerous, although it is a robe, but it is inevitable that there are so two people who like to bend and pat each other.
Therefore, a few people were not even interested in gambling money, and patted their butts and got up to go back to the barracks.
At this moment, there was a commotion below, and someone leaned over to listen, and his eyebrows gradually raised:
"General Le is dead? By the veteran...... Oh no, beheaded by General Huang? ”
The soldiers looked at each other with some indescribable flavor in their eyes.
Although they are not familiar with the general trend, they squat at the head of the city every day to watch the attack and defense, and they still have a sense of war.
The situation on the battlefield of Xiangfan has become bigger and bigger, and Fancheng, which is more than 300 zhang away, has been attacking without sleep for almost three days, and the corpses under the city wall are almost covered with a layer.
No one wants to become one of them, and what Lejin's death brings them is a ticket to get out of this Xiangfan battlefield, after all, Uncle Liu Huang has a benevolent name, General Guan has a righteous name, and he will definitely be able to live if he falls.
What is it now...... Whoever prevents them from gaining this life is their enemy.
So Huang Zhong was startled by the sudden shouting and killing sound in Xiangyang City, but fortunately, the shouting and killing came and went quickly.
After the shouting and killing ended, this group of Cao soldiers, who had witnessed the fall of Fancheng, the power of the giant boat, and the dead corpses of Fancheng, began to escape from Xiangyang sporadically and asked Huang Zhong to surrender.
On Fancheng, who was disgusted by the Cao soldiers in Xiangyang, Xu Shu was already very tired.
He and Zhao Lei's voices were already hoarse, and the white robes had long been dirty and bloodstained, and they couldn't see their original color.
The only thing Xu Shu felt distressed about was that this sword had collapsed into a few gaps because of the killing of the enemy.
In addition, although the body is getting more and more tired, the brain is getting more and more excited.
When he was in Xudu, he felt that he was going to rot several times, so he learned to play with flowers and plants, and learned to recite Huang Lao, but in the end it had no effect.
And now Xu Shu has regained his pleasant feeling:
The husband was born in troubled times, and when he lifted the three-foot sword to open the peace, it should be so!
As soon as the small pocket of his clothes was turned over, Xu Shu put a piece of cane sugar under his tongue, and the sweetness exploded and his spirit was lifted.
Although this effect is many times weaker than at the beginning, Xu Shu is still full of interest.
A backhand sword swept away Cao Bing's blade, and a soldier next to him made up a spear and killed him, and then kicked this Cao soldier down.
Although he was slightly distressed that there was another gap in this sword, Xu Shu still used his sword to hit the iron shield.
The three sounds of "bell bell" indicate that the coach has not fallen, and the morale has increased slightly.
And the soldiers didn't have the strength to respond, and every bit of physical strength was invaluable at this time.
Xu Shu thought in his heart, as long as Le Jin started to move, then Fan Cheng would be saved, and he didn't know what happened to General Huang?
Under Wancheng, Zhang Fei had already erected two wells with the two hundred craftsmen he brought.
Relying on this thing, dozens of crossbowmen pressed the Cao army on the city wall so that they couldn't raise their heads, and Cao Cao was desperate when he shot it.
But soon he saw that although there were still people shooting arrows on the erected platform, he could see a group of soldiers and horses in the rear, ready to go north.
"Zilian saved me from danger again!"
Hardly to think, Cao Cao knew what was going on with this army.
The garrisons on both sides of the east and west no longer dare to be transferred, so the only way to win the battle is to transfer troops from Yecheng.
And there is only Zhang Fei in the city, so Guan Yunchang must be bringing soldiers and horses to deal with Cao Hong and Cao Zilian!
After waiting for two days without waiting for Lejin's good news, Cao Cao was already a little desperate, and now that the peak is turning, everything is too exciting.
Hang on! Cao Cao thought silently in his heart.
As for Jing Yan's response, he ordered Xu Chu to requisition materials from the city and build a higher giant shield on this city wall, as long as it can be used.
After all, this was transferred by Guan Yunchang to an army, and this man who flew to attack the city was already overstretched.
Leaving with Guan Yu was still peaceful, he was excited in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just read the information to his father meticulously:
"The scouts found Cao Jun in the direction of Luyang in the northeast, about 3,000 cavalry, or the front army."
"Who's the manager?"
"I don't know."
The information on Jingzhou is okay, but the situation further north is indeed lacking, Guan Yu didn't care, nodded and knew.
From Wancheng to the north only sixty miles is the West E, after the water is Bowang.
Guan Yu was a little embarrassed when he remembered the old things for a while, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he would still have to decide the outcome with Cao Jun here.
"The general thinks Cao Jun will cross the river here?" Guan Ping asked.
The battlefield of Wancheng was in the west of the river, and the Cao army came from the east of the river, and as long as they wanted to support, they had to cross the river.
Then where to cross the river is a question.
"Bowang to the north, all of them are Daze, and it is not suitable for marching."
"To the south of Bowang, it is Wancheng, and we can wait for the two armies to attack together and prevent it from crossing the river."
"Therefore, they will come from Bowang and force me to divide the troops and take care of him, so that he can force the crossing."
Guan Ping counted carefully in his heart, and finally felt that what his father said was very reasonable.
Worthy of a father!
Guan Yu was expressionless, before going north, Xu Shu had already pulled him to make a plan for various situations that could occur.
In the sand table room in Gangneung City, the two of them didn't know how many times they had deduced, so they thought about this kind of question very clearly.
And the only thing I don't know now is who is the main general of this Cao army, and how many catties and taels does he have?
And...... Yuan Zhi'an? Is Xiangyang City Ke?
The unexpected "mutiny" of the soldiers of Xiangyang City provided Huang Zhong with a lot of convenience, and in the face of the Cao soldiers who were completely unwilling to fight, Huang Zhong also smoothly accelerated the progress of receiving his own surrendered troops.
After setting up a few other camps to divide and postpone the surrender of the troops, Huang Zhong ordered Ma Liang to guard the surrendered troops, and then he took more than 1,000 soldiers to take advantage of the twilight to march west.
For this land, there is no need for a sand table, Huang Zhong will not lose himself with his eyes closed.
More than 20 miles to the west is Longzhong, and then go west, the left is the mountain and the right is the river, and the terrain becomes gradually narrow.
And there is a small county town called Shandu above, if Huang Zhong and the military advisor are not bad......
Sure enough, the dilapidated mountain capital that had been destroyed by the relocation of the people from Tuntian was lively again, and a Cao soldier was stationed here, and the people next to it were full of people, and the embankment was constantly raised.
There was a small opening on the north side of the embankment, and Huang Zhong remembered that there was a water swamp over there, which should have led the water there.
In this case, there was no need to hesitate any longer, Huang Zhong took out his long knife expressionlessly, and led the soldiers behind him to pounce.
The night gradually filled up, but Fancheng was still brightly lit and the siege continued.
At this time, both sides were already at the end of the crossbow, and Cao Ren himself led the team to attack a few times, but Fan Cheng relied on the city height and crossbow arrows to support the bottom, and finally stubbornly repelled the attacks again and again.
And after repelling another attack, Zhao Lei, who had just loaded his crossbow arrows, looked up and saw a shocking scene.
But his throat was dry and hoarse, and he tried hard for a long time, and finally he only uttered a short word:
"Black ......"
Xu Shu looked up, and in the night, he could see something darker coming from the west.
And when you get closer, you can see that the black thing reflects the light of the torch, which is water.
"Water?" Cao Ren was just about to lie down when he heard a report from the guard.
He was also uncomfortable these days, and needed a good night's sleep, but the news shattered his plans.
"Cai Mao is a good dog thief!" Cao Ren, who was not resting well, immediately became angry.
But then he reacted and Cai Maoxiao, who was sent to intercept the water, would not make such a low-level mistake, so there was only one explanation.
The mountains were lost, but Cao Ren couldn't figure it out:
"Where did Liu Bei get the manpower?"
But no matter whether he wants to understand it or not, Cao Ren knows another thing better: the attack on Fancheng has failed after all.
It wasn't raining yet, and if it had been the first two days, the soldiers could have been forced to continue the siege, but now the slightest change would have turned into a factor that changed the outcome.
And this little flood was like that.
The siege soldiers quickly retreated, and Xu Shu did not hesitate to pull Zhao Lei to sleep together for a long-lost sleep.
And on the second day, standing at the head of the city, Xu Shu had regained his vitality and sighed:
"What a country!"
There wasn't a lot of water coming downstream, just enough to reach the instep, but it was enough to muddy the land and demoralize.
Xu Shu smiled very happily:
"It seems that Lejin, a brave and fierce general, is still defeated by the Jingzhou veteran after all."
