Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 218 Flooded Jiangdong
The small hill where Shen Chen was located was no more than a hundred meters above the ground, and the building boat was 30 meters high, so the distance between the two sides was not too far away.

The bow of the ship was densely packed with soldiers, and they raised their shields to prevent the mountains from shooting arrows downward.

Among the crowd, someone came out more and more, Shen Chen looked carefully, and he was very surprised that the person was actually "Henry Zhang" who he let go.

"Shen Chen!"

"Henry Zhang" was a hundred meters away from them, only vaguely seeing that the clothes seemed to be very gorgeous, and the voice echoed in the mountains.

Shen Chen walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the river below the mountain from the top of the mountain, and shouted: "Henry Zhang!"

"The lonely is not Henry Zhang, but Wu Hou Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong!"

Sun Quan stood awe-inspiring, looking up at the top of the mountain.

Sun Quan?

This kid is Sun Quan?

Shen Chen was quite surprised, he never expected that he would let Sun Quan go.

"Why, are you surprised by Gu's identity?"

Seeing Shen Chen's silence, Sun Quan laughed and mocked, "If you knew it was Gu, your defense would not be so lax."

Shen Chen scratched his head and said, "So you are Sun Quan. I really didn't expect it to be you. No wonder you wanted to shoot General Huang after exchanging hostages. So it was your order."

"That's right, it's Gu. Although Gu was imprisoned, he found an opportunity to escape. How about it? Do you regret it?" Sun Quan said with a smile on his face.

"You seem to be very proud of your ability to escape?"

Shen Chen was speechless.

Sun Quan laughed and said, "You let Gu run away because you don't know Gu. Isn't that proud?"

"You think too much."

Shen Chen waved his hand: "This is just my way of deceiving Zhou Yu and Lu Su. If I hadn't deliberately sent someone to put a dagger in your room and let the soldiers relax their vigilance, how could you have escaped?"

"what?"

The smile on Sun Quan's face froze. Didn't he escape by relying on his own wisdom and courage, but was let go on purpose?
Zhou Yu got out of the cabin, stood on the top deck and said loudly: "Even so, it would be ridiculous and generous to let my master escape the enemy's camp calmly without knowing him."

Shen Chen smiled and said: "If you don't know it, don't know it. You will know it in the future. What's more, you are caught in the trap now. Don't you want to put money on your face?"

"Humph."

Zhou Yu snorted through his nose, put his hands behind his back and said in a loud voice, "Even if you tricked Lu Meng and Xu Sheng away, so what? You're not surrounded by us yet."

Shen Chen said indifferently: "You guys came here to gossip about me, right?"

"Shen Chen!"

Sun Quan said loudly: "Today you are besieged by us. Even if you can escape, you will suffer heavy losses. If you are willing to hand over Huang Zu and surrender to Jiangdong, I will treat you with the courtesy of my superior."

"Persuade to surrender?"

Shen Chen smiled and said: "General Huang was kind to me in the early years. You want me to hand over General Huang, that's a dream. As for surrendering you Jiangdong, it is even more impossible. Although I have some ideas with the king of Chu, Chu The kindness that the king treats me is as great as a mountain, how can I betray the Lord."

Sun Quan rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay if you don't surrender. I have a deep hatred with old thief Huang. As long as you hand over old thief Huang to me, I will let you go."

"Thinking too much, it depends on my mood to let you go."

Shen Chen smiled slightly.

What the hell is Sun Quan planning? I don't know yet?

If he agreed to this matter, he might lose all his reputation and prestige immediately, and even be charged with crimes.

Although Huang Zu was captured, he was the commander of the Jiangxia Navy, second only to Liu Biao in rank, and even Liu Qi was lower than Huang Zu in terms of official position.

So to a certain extent, Huang Zu is the highest-ranking general in the current Jingzhou army, and Liu Qi and Liu Pan must obey his orders.

The leader of the family was captured before, and he was exchanged with great difficulty, and then sent out, how did the morale of the soldiers drop?

What's more, Shen Chen himself didn't have the right to deal with it like this, not even Liu Qi and Liu Pan.

Therefore, Sun Quan is completely engaged in psychological tactics to divide the soldiers.

"It depends on your mood to let us go?"

Sun Quan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and he was so happy that he said from ear to ear: "You are surrounded by us now, are you still talking such big things?"

"woo woo woo woo!"

At this time, a fierce horn sounded from the direction of the back mountain.

Shen Chen's face darkened and said: "I said, why did you suddenly come over to chat with me? It turned out that you deliberately restrained me and planned to make a surprise attack from the back mountain."

"good."

Sun Quan put his hands on his hips and said in a loud voice: "The soldiers at the foot of the mountain are just there to deceive you. I have already sent people to surprise you from the back mountain."

Shen Chen shrugged: "Then their luck is not very good, you are drowned, they will be shot or hacked by us."

Drown?

Rumble!
At this moment, the world seemed to start to vibrate.

Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and the others were on the building boat, and they could see with the naked eye more than ten miles upstream of Shushui, countless waves of the river were rolling and rushing downstream.

The entire river surface seemed to be more than ten or twenty feet higher in an instant, as if the water of a West Lake was poured into the river in a short period of time.

"how is this possible!"

Zhou Yu was shocked and lost his voice: "There is obviously no dam in the upper reaches of Shushui."

"Hahahahaha."

Shen Chen stood on the cliff and laughed wantonly.

Countless Jiangxia water troops on the edge of the surrounding cliffs were watching this scene from afar.

The terrifying noise from the huge waves almost shattered the sky and the earth, the sound roared from far to near, only in a short period of time.

The Jiangdong army at the bottom of the cliff didn't even know what happened. They only heard loud noises dozens of times more exaggerated than the waves coming one after another. The sound became louder and louder, and the ground even began to tremble.

The Jiangdong Army, who had not received orders, stood at the foot of Wuling Mountain in a daze. Many people thought there was an earthquake, and ran around with their heads in their arms. .

But it's a pity that even the officers couldn't figure out what happened, and many people even ran around like headless chickens like soldiers, making the Jiangdong army camp at the foot of the mountain chaotic, and there was no unified command at all.

The Jiangxia sailors on the mountain saw that within a quarter of an hour after the beacon smoke was released, countless terrifying tides seemed to emerge from the end of Shushui, which in a short period of time flooded the entire river to an exaggerated extent, and the river surface was visible to the naked eye. It began to rise, submerging both banks.

Immediately afterwards, the river began to spread at the foot of the mountain, and at the same time, accompanied by loud noises and turbulent waves, a huge wave with a height of 30 meters swept towards the fleet of the Jiangdong Army, like a giant beast opening its mouth to swallow everything .

Sun Quan's ship was almost the first to bear the brunt. Although the huge wave was still several miles away, the water speed was already surging in just one or two minutes. The terrible wave directly swallowed the ship, and Continue to go downstream.

The people on the boat couldn't even complete the movement of turning the bow of the boat in a short time, because the tide came too fast, faster than lightning, at first glance it was still far away, but it was already in front of them in a blink of an eye.

After that wave reached the bottom of Wuling, the water level of the forest at the foot of the mountain suddenly rose sharply.

Shen Chen wiped the water droplets splashed on his face. Even standing on the top of a [-]-meter-high mountain, it was as terrifying as a wave hitting the river bank. Surging waves, sweeping in all directions.

In just a few minutes, after the huge wave passed, the forest was submerged, and many low hills became islands. The originally clean and clear Shushui River turned into a turbid yellow flood. Submerged, the once jungle at the foot of the mountain is now densely covered with black spots.

Those things are all debris in the forest, dead leaves and branches, broken wood, wreckage of ships, and many soldiers of the Jiangdong Army floating in the water. A hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain, it instantly turned into an artificial lake. Wails, calls for help, and shouts can be heard endlessly.

The river is still flowing fast, and many Jiangdong troops can only hold logs to survive the flood, and the terrifying upstream embankment is still pouring in water.The weather was clear and there was no rain, but the world turned into a terrifying hell, which made people tremble.

"General, can this water store so much?"

Zhang Nan was drenched all over. He was standing on the edge of the cliff just now, but he was photographed by a wave and almost got caught in it. Fortunately, the people around him reacted quickly and grabbed him. At this time, he was wiping his face like a soaked chicken. sewage.

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "A few days ago, it rained heavily and the mountain torrents broke out in the south. Do you know why Shushui didn't surge because of this?"

Zhang Nan was surprised: "The general stored up those mountain torrents?"

"Yes."

Shen Chen smiled and said, "It's not just mountain torrents, there are also several small rivers, and a large number of dams have also been dug and built."

The secret of water attack lies in digging and building reservoirs. Of course, a reservoir the size of an ordinary fish pond cannot store much water. To achieve the effect of instantaneously increasing the river water by 30 meters like now, at least one of the size of two square kilometers is required. lakes.

But if you want to dig and build such a large lake in the mountains, it is almost impossible to complete a series of operations such as storing water, strengthening the embankment, opening the gate and releasing water within the specified time.

Not to mention whether manpower and material resources can be achieved, but to build such a large water storage lake requires strong craftsman skills, and it can only be built upstream.

So Zhou Yu and Lu Su didn't believe that Shen Chen could attack with water at all.

But they overlooked several things.

One is that it was still raining in the southeast hills a few days ago, and the mountain torrents continued to erupt, and the water resources were extremely rich, so there was no need to use the water in Shushui for water storage.

The second is that Shen Chen was originally engaged in design work. He used to be an architect. It is not difficult to design and build lakes in the mountains.

The third and most important point, he does not need to build a huge lake.

Since there are mountain torrents and tributary rivers and streams everywhere in the mountains and forests, Shen Chen only needs to send people to build embankment dams for those small rivers that are no more than 30 meters wide, and then dig reservoirs on both banks.

As long as there are enough mountain torrents and small streams and rivers, more than a dozen small storage lakes will open their gates to release water at the same time, and a huge amount of water will flow into Shushui in a short period of time, which will cause the effect of a large lake bursting its embankment and lower the water level of Shushui. skyrocketed.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places. You only need to make good use of the terrain in the mountains, the trend of the river, and the recent rainstorm weather to achieve this.

And one of the problems is artificial.

Although there is no need to dig a large water storage lake, only a dozen small water storage lakes need to be dug, which is simply impossible for them.

But the San Viet people can.

According to historical records, Chen Pu and Zu Shanbu each had tens of thousands of people, and the combined number was more than [-].

With their help, Shen Chen dug about sixteen water storage lakes within a month to carry the mountain torrents and stream water upstream of Shushui.

These storage lakes are not large. The water volume of each storage lake is between tens of thousands of cubic meters to more than 200 cubic meters. The total water storage capacity may be more than [-] million cubic meters, which is about one seventh of the West Lake storage water volume.

It seems like a lot, but Shushui is a small and medium-sized river with a daily flow of more than [-] million cubic meters, which can fill the entire West Lake in one day.

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River, such super-large rivers, have a daily flow of billions or tens of billions of water. If they do not flow into the East China Sea, it will be a disaster for mankind.

So to a certain extent, Shen Chen only intercepted one-fifth of Shushui's daily water flow and released it in an instant.

It's like if it rains for a few hours every day for a month, it won't cause any impact, but if it rains for a month in one day, it will cause floods.

Shen Chen also took advantage of this, and scattered the construction of water storage lakes to prevent Jiangdong's scouts from going down the river at night to see if there was a water storage dam.

Even because these water storage lakes are too small, the intercepted dams are completely built of wood and stones. After completing the water storage function, they spread out again, causing the water level of Shushui to not drop, and successfully confused the Jiangdong army. .

Now the effect is also very significant.

A flood of 200 million cubic meters was released in a short period of time, almost one-fifth of that of the river Shushui. It was not enough to drain so much water, causing the entire mountain forest to be submerged.

The foot of the mountain was already full of waves, and all kinds of people, animals, leaves, wood, and ship fragments were floating on the yellow flood. Many people sank to the bottom of the water and were submerged by the flood. roll downstream.

All the Jiangxia sailors above Wuling stared blankly at this scene. The horror of nature gave them a strong visual impact and a sense of shock, so much so that many people felt their legs tremble.

And at this moment, the continuous sound of horns came from the back mountain, causing the surrounding Jingzhou soldiers to look in the direction of the back mountain frequently.

"Almost forgot."

Shen Chen slapped his forehead, picked up the quiver on the ground and put it on his back, with a ring knife hanging from his waist on the left side, and a bow in his right hand, and shouted to the hundreds of soldiers who belonged directly to him beside him: " Come with me."

The soldiers shouted in twos and threes, followed behind him, and headed towards the back mountain. In an instant, there were two to three thousand people in the team, and more soldiers were still joining them.

For them, this team was also full of turmoil, and it was only at this time that they realized that there seemed to be an enemy in the back mountain.
