Since the Battle of Chrysostom, the situation in the world has gradually become clear, and it is no longer the beginning of the chaotic war in the world. At present, Cao Liu often chooses the opportunity to use troops after weighing the pros and cons due to the growth of the basic market.

Once a war has been decided, it is often a wrestling between the two regimes with all their might, ending with one side withdrawing on its own initiative. From this point of view, although the frequency of wars is decreasing, it does not mean that the intensity of wars is decreasing, on the contrary, due to the vastness of the territory of both sides and the increase in the number of military and civilians under their rule, the intensity of wars is rising sharply.

Last year, with the collective cooperation and planning of Huo Jun, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Lu Xun and others, Cao Ren was successfully lured to raise Jingxiang's soldiers and horses to go deep into Zhushui, and Guan Yu set up troops to break through the barbarians.

At this age, Cao Cao sent Yu Bannan to aid Xiangfan, and Liu Bei sent Pang De to support Guan Yu. The grain and grass materials that had been accumulated for many years were transported to the front line through waterways.

The two sides had nearly 100,000 troops, with Fancheng as the center of gravity. Yu and Guan faced each other for several months, but due to the advent of the rainy season, they had to suspend the confrontation and enter a short period of rest.

However, in this calm situation, the situation on the battlefield is surging in the dark tide, and the victory or defeat may be changed by a heavy rainstorm.

The rain is continuous, and unlike the lightning and thunder during heavy rains, the rain is accompanied by strong winds to form a torrential rain screen.

On the Han River, Ran Province and more than 20 sergeants under his tent drove a boat out of the water village and went up against the Han River.

Ran Xing stood on the bow of the boat with a spear in a cloak, and because of the oblique beating of the rain, his face was already covered with water droplets, which made it difficult for people to open their eyes and see far.

Scar Shichang's mouth was broken, and he complained: "The rain is strong and the wind is strong, and there are no thieves, so why do you need to send people out of the camp to inspect?" Now let me wait for the village to say that the water situation has changed, which is incomprehensible. ”

"My clothes are soaked, and I don't have firewood to dry, so I'm afraid I'll have to sleep naked tonight."

Wiping his face, Ran Sheng wiped the rain off his face and scolded: "Zhang Scar, don't be the same as your little daughter-in-law, if you talk nonsense again, I'll shut your mouth." Hurry up and find the water mark! ”

Roared by Ran Xing, the people on the deck quieted down, and everyone stretched out their heads to look for the wooden stake that had been laid before.

In the sound of the 'rattling' of the Han River, a sergeant with good eyesight pointed to the wooden stake deep in the shore and shouted, "Found it!" ”

"How long!"

Hearing this, Ran Xing leaned over and shouted.

"The scale on it is invisible, probably more than a zhang!"

Ran Xingxing propped his hand on the edge of the boat, bent down to look, but saw that the long-turbid Han water became more turbid, and the wooden stake, which was used to record the water level, gradually became shorter in the waves of the Han water, as if it was about to submerge the wooden stake.

Seeing this, Ran Xing shook violently and shouted, "Turn around!" ”

"Why?"

The sergeant beside him had a puzzled face, and just as he opened his mouth to ask something, he noticed that the flow of the Han River suddenly became faster, and there were tree branches and stumps flowing down the water.

Then he heard the sound of thunder, which might be like a muffled rumble.

Immediately afterward, he heard Scar shout in terror, "It's flooding!" ”

He looked up, but saw that under the black clouds on the horizon, Han Shui was like a wild horse on the loose, with a rumbling thunder, rushing towards the ship they were on.

In just a few breaths, the turbulent and yellowish current of the Han River crashed into the hull of the boat, causing the boat to overturn up and down, making it difficult to stand still.

The deck was slippery, and Ran Xing stumbled and almost fell. With the help of the cable, Ran Province stabilized his position.

"Quick!"

Ran Province grabbed the cable and shouted: "Turn the hull of the boat, don't go against the Han River." ”

The Han River is surging and turbulent, and the water level is soaring. The wooden stakes, which were used to measure the water level, have long been flooded by the Han River and can no longer be found. And because of the rising water level, not only the water has become turbulent, but the waves are still crashing against the embankments on both sides, as if they want to get out of the shackles of the embankments.

"Whew!"

In the next moment, a larger stream of water came down from the upstream, the waves overlapped, the waves were higher than the waves, the water rose sharply, and the surging waves crashed on the shore. The Han River broke through the river embankment in an instant and overflowed into the Xiangfan Plain.

In the flooding water of the Han River, the boat where Ran Province was located was very small, although it was tossed up and down in the white waves of the Han River, almost turning on its side, but it could float steadily on the waves, like an arrow breaking through the waves.

At this time, the situation of the Han River rising sharply was already known to the army stationed in Yuliangzhou.

Guan Ping gasped, broke into Guan Yu's big tent directly, and shouted: "Father, the water of the Han River has risen sharply, and now it has flooded the surrounding river embankments and flowed into the tidal flats of the Xiangfan Plain. ”

Guan Yu, who was browsing with a book, saw Guan Ping so frivolous and was about to scold, but when he heard the news from Hanzhong, he immediately got up from the couch and laughed.

Throwing down the book, Guan Yu strode out of the account!

At present, there are countless soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty who look at the surging Han water, or gasp and marvel, or are afraid of the great potential of the water.

The rain was pouring down, Guan Yu pushed away the left and right attendants holding umbrellas, and walked out quickly in the rain, even if his cherished long beard was wet, he didn't care at all.

Ascending high and looking into the distance, looking at the sky, but seeing the vast world from the west to the north, it has become a blank white expanse. And on the horizon, the endless Han water, as if it is heavenly water, flies down from the clouds, never endless.

"Prince, the Han water swelled and rushed out of the riverbank. Many low-lying places have been irrigated by Han water. Today's waters are stronger than Wan and others expected, and they will surely flood Fancheng and its surroundings. ”

Lu Meng put on a robe, strode up, and said with a smile: "Yu Ban will camp the Seven Armies in Fan Bei for ten miles, and the Han River is overflowing today, and Yu Ban is really like a fish entering Er!" ”

"Haha!"

Guan Yu looked up at the sky, laughed and said: "This Gai Tian helps me, Your Majesty wants to take Xiangfan for a long time!" ”

"Today, the Han water is soaring, and the Forbidden Seventh Army is in a catastrophe, even if Cao Cao is in person, it is difficult to change the belonging of Xiangfan!"

Guan Yu can't be unhappy, since last year's victory in building water, Guan Yu entered Xiangfan and fought against Yu Ban for half a year.

During this period, the two sides fought many times, and Guan Yu doubted many times whether he could defeat Yu Ban, but in the end, Guan Yu persevered and never gave up looking for a way to break Yu Ban.

Although he is relying on the help of the heavens now, it is enough for him to break the forbidden rules!

Take advantage of the rise of the Han River to flood Fancheng, cut off the connection between Yu Ban and Fancheng, and break the Seventh Army in one fell swoop. Of course, I learned that not only could I break the ban, but I might even be able to eat Cao Wei's elite Seventh Army. The elite of the Seven Armies, even if Cao Cao's family has a great cause, he can't turn a blind eye!

First, you can raise heavy troops to surround Xiangfan and surrender the two cities; Then take a boat against the water, and the troops went to Xinye and Wancheng.

Cao Ren was destroyed in the construction of water, and the Seventh Army was flooded in Fancheng. Although these two battles cannot be compared with the Battle of Chrysostom, they are enough to make him famous all over the world, and how dare the world criticize him for his military exploits?

The rain was not small, and Guan Yu's brocade robe had been soaked by the rain, including the beard under his chin as if it had been washed. However, the tall body became more and more burly in the rain, and the confidence from the inside and outside convinced everyone.

The generals of Liuzan and Pang De came one after another, standing under Guan Yu, and would listen to Guan Yu's military orders.

Liao Hua saw that all the generals were coming, and he arched his hand and said: "The prince, all the generals are here, now you should ask the prince and the prince to give instructions on the strategy of using troops." ”

"Good!"

Guan Yu stroked his wet long beard in his hand and said: "Pass the order, and when the rain stops and the waves of the Han River stop, Shiren and Zhao Lei will lead the sergeants of the headquarters to stay in the camp. I, Pang De, and Lü Meng led three sergeants into Qingshui by boat, and besieged Yu Ban and his seven armies. ”

"No!"

Under Guan Yu's military order, the herald ran around the Yuliangzhou military village to deliver the news of preparing for war.

Yuliangzhou Han Village, not the village of the old times. In order to prevent the overflow of the Han River, it will affect the operation of the army. Guan Yute moved the Zhouge Water Village to the back of Yuliang Island, and the Han River washed the river beach and tidal flats in the west, which could not affect the water village in the east at all.

At this time, due to the rise of the water level of the Han River, the lowland area in the west of Yuliangzhou has been covered by the Han River, and the water village in the east has no injuries due to its unique geographical advantages.

Compared with Guan Yu and Lu Meng's joy, Cao Ren in Fancheng was shocked

Looking at the flooding and raging Han River, Cao Ren subconsciously opened his mouth wide, the flood was layered, the waves were wave after wave, the Fannan River embankment that Guan Yu wanted to dig no longer needed to be dug up, the flood was like a yellow wall of water, rushing out of the river embankment and rushing towards Fancheng.

Fannanjinkou and the old Han military camp were all swallowed up by the flood. On the surface of the flood, there were many traces of beasts, and their tiny figures struggled to get out of the flood, but the water rushed forward, and the beasts could not escape the fate of drowning.

In an instant, Hong Feng arrived at the foot of Fancheng, or was blocked by the city, bypassed the city wall, and flowed to Fanbei. Or along the gap between the gates of Fancheng, a large amount of Han water poured into Fancheng, and the water in the city suddenly rose sharply.

When the water receded slightly, the next moment the water wave arrived, submerging Fancheng in the Han water. Several large trees floated on the surface of the river and smashed down the wall of Fancheng along the river, knocking out a shallow pit.

"The water is coming!"

On Fancheng, the soldiers of the Wei army ran and shouted, and they were at a loss for the sudden surge of floods. They have been besieged by the Han army in Fancheng for a long time, and now not only can they not escape, but they are also trapped in Fancheng by the flood, how not to let them panic and worry!

Zhu Zhi looked at the waves of the Han River, twice as high as the embankment, rushing across the embankment, flooding the city of Fancheng, and pouring into the Hanbei Plain, with a look of despair!

His worries before finally came true.

Will Yu Ban be spared?

Cao Ren's face turned pale, he felt that he had done something stupid, and he hated why he didn't listen to Zhu Zhi and Yan Xing's advice at that time and let the Seventh Army withdraw to Yuncheng. If the Seventh Army is allowed to withdraw to Yuncheng, there will be no today.

But Han Shui has skyrocketed this year, which is different from usual, how can he expect it!

Cao Ren's expression stiffened, he turned his head to look at Zhu Zhi, and asked at a loss, "Junli, what should I do today?" ”

Zhu Zhi looked desperate and said bitterly: "Ten miles north of Fan is a rare hill slope, and now I only hope that General Yu can lead the sergeants to avoid the high places." Or it is difficult for the Han water to flood the hillside, but General Yu and his Seventh Army will be fine! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Ren encouraged himself to cheer up, comforted himself and said: "Wen Ze has commanded the army for 30 years, or there is a strategy to protect the army!" ”

Looking at the soldier Cao Ren, Zhu Zhi wanted to cry without tears.

He followed Sun Jian to raise troops, and he had more than 30 years of combat experience, and he saw a lot of brave generals like Cao Ren. Brave generals can often only be partial to the army, subject to moderation and obey orders, if they sit on one side, it will be bad.

Cao Cao appointed a soldier Cao Ren to guard Jingxiang, and he really forcibly entrusted Cao Ren up. Whoever changes to the Cao family general who listens to persuasion, with his assistance and help, is cautious, although it cannot be said that he is enterprising in Nanjun, but it is more than enough to protect Jing Xiang, and the situation will not collapse like this.

Zhushui sent a wave of heads, and stabbed Shi Hu Xiu and Nanxiang Taishou Fu Fang into it.

Now due to the location of the camp, it is estimated that Yu Ban and the elite of his seven armies will be sent!

Next, who else are you going to give it to?
