Yu Ban and his Seventh Army are only ten miles away from Fancheng, and their distance is only a few kilometers away from later generations, and the distance between the two is not far.

When the surging waves of five or six zhang rushed across the river embankment, bypassed Fancheng, and poured into the plains of northern Han, with the elongation of the distance and the obstruction of obstacles, the turbulent Han water gradually calmed down, and it was not as terrifying as before.

However, even so, the turbulent Han River also brought a large amount of water, and the wave height was more than three zhang, which was not an ordinary manpower to resist. But fortunately, such a high wave is not the early Han water wave, but the peak Han water wave.

After the Han River broke through the river embankment and rushed through Fancheng, the scouts hurriedly told Yu Ban the news. At that time, Yu Ban was in constant combat for many years, and after experiencing the initial anxiety, he quickly stabilized his mind.

Then, Yu Ban climbed high to observe the water potential in the north and south, and did not wait to call the generals, and the soldiers of the Wei army in the lower forbidden areas moved to a high place to avoid the water by themselves, and were careful of being injured by the rain.

Yu Ban made the dispatch order quickly, and it didn't take long for the military order to be transmitted to the ministries. Under the leadership of Yan Xing, Hao Zhou, Pei Jing and other Wei generals, they brought their ordnance, abandoned the camp, and went to a high place to avoid the flood.

Although the situation was critical, the victory was that the ban was ordered in time, although it did not save everyone's lives, but at least before the arrival of the Hanshui Flood Peak, everyone successfully avoided the high place. More than 30,000 people of the Seventh Army are distributed in more than a dozen places, such as hills, hills, embankments and other places.

On the high part of the hill, Yu Ban watched the Han River, which was more than five zhang high, break through the river embankment and rush towards his own department, and he was terrified in his heart, for fear of submerging the hill where he was.

Fortunately, the distance between the river embankment, Fancheng and more than ten miles consumed a lot of impact of the Han River. When the waves rushed to Yu Ban, the waves were only two or three feet high, and they slapped on the slopes of the hills, which was not enough to do harm.

Listening to the chaotic sound on the hill slope, and looking at the Han Shui like a wild horse, Yu Ban was bitter and unspeakable, and he was already cursing Cao Ren in his heart.

If Cao Ren hadn't forced him to garrison his troops in Fancheng for ten miles, how could there be a disaster today. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the officers and men of the Seventh Army would have been submerged by at least half of the Han water.

"Cao Ren!"

Yu Ban sighed loudly and said: "I have been in Xiangfan for ten years, I don't know the topography of Hanshui, you are a general." The soldiers and horses of the Seventh Army have fallen to this day, and they are all your crimes! ”

When the left and right generals heard the words, they felt a lot of anger. I have to end up like this now, not because the enemy is too strong, but because of the mistakes of my teammates, how to keep them from being angry.

For his own mistake in site selection, which led to the flooding of the Forbidden Seventh Army, although Cao Renxin was ashamed, he also resolved himself. After all, Hanshui is normal every year, and his location selection is based on his usual experience. Who would have expected that the Han River would rise so fiercely, it was really beyond the expectations of ordinary people.

Of course, Yu Ban and the soldiers on the left and right don't know what Cao Ren thinks, if they know what Cao Ren thinks, they estimate that they have a sword to kill Cao Ren's heart.

"General, our army is trapped between the hills and slopes by the Han River, what should we do?" General Qin Lu asked.

Yu Ban looked up at the current situation, and his expression was full of difficulties.

The majestic heavy rain has been falling for more than ten days, not only the Han water has skyrocketed, in fact, the major rivers in the north of the Han have all risen, and a large number of ponds along the line have overflowed due to the problem of rainwater, and many low-lying areas have been accumulated by the rain, gradually flooding, and wreaking havoc in the Hanbei Plain.

Now, coupled with the turbulent Han water, they are trapped on high places, like birds caught in the net, unable to fly, and only by waiting for the Han water to recede can they take the next step.

"Today, the Han River is raging, there is nowhere to go, and wait for the water to recede!" Yu Ban said with a sigh.

"General, it's easy to wait for the flood to retreat!"

Qin Lu hesitated for a moment and said: "However, Guan Yu's troops are in command of the boats, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to advance, and the troops will be on the slope, how can they fight at that time?" ”

Yu Ban's expression was sluggish, and he looked around at the soldiers of the Seventh Army who were divided by Hanshui in various high places, and then remained silent.

Qin Lu's words are very realistic, they were trapped by Han Shui, more than 30,000 people in the Seventh Army, they were cut into more than a dozen by Han Shui, and the situation of each department was not as optimistic, or less armor, or less bows and crossbows, they were not only powerless to compete with Guan Yu's department. And under the siege of Han Shui, their military hearts were already panicked.

The morale of the army is scattered, the armor is incomplete, in the face of Guan Yu's encirclement, what will they rely on to block it?

Guan Yu is not a fool, if he raises troops to attack, he will slowly eat away at all departments, from easy to difficult, pull out more than ten parts little by little, and then eat them all.

"Let's appease the sergeant of the headquarters first, and then discuss Guan Yu's matter." Yu Ban said in a muffled voice.

"No!"

On that day, the Han River rose greatly, the waves were surging, and the wind and waves were quite strong. The heavy rain that lasted for half a month gradually turned into a drizzle.

The Han army sailors that Yu Ban was worried about did not lead the army to haunt because the flood was too large, but stayed in the water village.

And the hill where the forbidden place is located is the location of his old Chinese army, and there are more than 5,000 soldiers around. Due to the flooding of the camp in the Han Dynasty, only more than 1,000 people were left to keep their tents, and more than 3,000 people had no tents available.

Under the coordination of the ban, 5,000 people squeezed into the tent of more than 1,000 people to sleep, although the crowd was crowded, but it was not violated by the wind and rain. However, due to the shortage of grain and grass, it was difficult to light a fire for heating, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, the morale of the Wei army was depressed.

It was night, and Yu was sleepless, not only because his big tent was occupied by the sergeants, but also because of his anxiety about the future.

Yu Ban stood on the edge of the hill, listening to the sound of the mighty Han River crashing on the shore in the night, and the whole person fell into deep thought, without any reaction.

Now that the water is like this, what else can he do?

When he was young, he thought about various ways to die in defeat, and even thought about fighting to the death for Cao Gong. However, those were all built on the battlefield, and now he was pitted by his teammates and trapped in the white Han water, but he didn't know how to deal with it.

Maybe it's not that he doesn't know how to deal with it, but it's that he's afraid of something.

When he held the hilt of the sword and tried to draw it to kill himself, he could not draw the sword out of fear of death.

"Surrender?"

"Chengren?"

The choice between the two made Yu Ban not know how to choose.

Surrendered due to the trapped situation, he felt sorry for His Majesty's kindness.

However, because he killed himself to serve the country, he lacked the courage to draw his sword in his old age.

Seeing that Yu Ban was in a daze, the attendant lowered his voice and said, "General, it is better to temporarily tie up some rafts, and at dawn, I will wait for the escort general to get on the raft to see if we can break through to the north." The general has served His Majesty for 30 years, and although he has been defeated by the Han River, it is expected that His Majesty will be tolerant of his old feelings when he remembers his old feelings. ”

Yu Ban looked at the daunting Han River at night, sighed and said: "The flash flood is surging and the Han River is surging, how can a small raft withstand the wind and waves? Those who can resist the wind and waves must not be a big ship. ”

If you can escape by raft, Yu Ban will not be so troubled.

At this time, Cao's sailors were burned in Dunsai, and except for Guan Yu's sailors in the Han River basin, Cao's army had no big ships available.

"Forget it!"

Yu was still lucky in his forbidden heart, and said: "Set up a raft tonight and see the water situation tomorrow." If the water level drops, take a raft north. ”

"Then the raft can't work, and the water thieves are in the siege again?" The squire asked.

Yu Ban looked at the starry sky, and was silent.

Seeing that Yu Ban did not answer, the attendant sneaked into the night and tied up the raft.

After the attendant left, Yu Ban plucked up his courage, drew his long sword, and put his finger on the blade. For some reason, today's sword blade was exceptionally cold, and the courage he had finally mustered up suddenly dissipated.

"Why is the sword so cold?" Sigh in the forbidden.

However, I don't know how long it took, Yu Ban comforted himself, and secretly thought: "Guan Yu Xuzhou was defeated and surrendered to Your Majesty, and now I am unfortunately trapped on the hill because of the loss of Cao Ren and the power of Han Shui." Why don't you follow Guan Yu's old story, leave a useful body, and surrender to Liu Bei, so that you will be fortunate enough to return to the country in the future, and then repay Your Majesty's kindness. ”

"As for Xuchang's wife and children, it is expected that with my old merits, and if the Seventh Army surrenders, there will be many people. It is said that the law does not blame the public, and His Majesty will not embarrass Xu Chang's wife and children. When I return to Liu Bei, with my old relationship with him, I will be able to get the courtesy of the water thieves and ministers, and I will not be troubled. ”

"If the army is defeated because of me, I will fight hard. It is not my fault that I am defeated now because of the might of heaven and earth! ”

"Ants are still stealing life, let alone humans!" Yu sighed silently in his heart.
