Chapter 481

After several days of pouring rain, Yang Yansi led the Han army against the strong wind and rain, constantly bombarding the walls of Fancheng.After a few days, the foundation of Fancheng was loose, and there were signs of damage in many places. Coupled with the erosion of heavy rain, grooves appeared in many places on the city wall, and the cracks were shocking.

Later, Liu Bian ordered soldiers and horses to dig secret passages in the army, leading directly to the bottom of Fancheng City, and destroying the foundation underground of Fancheng City.Jingzhou soldiers still didn't notice it.

At first the Jingzhou soldiers in the city didn't take it seriously, but when the damage to the city wall reached this point, the Jingzhou soldiers panicked and quickly invited Huang Zu, Wen Pin and other generals to the top of the city. Huang Zu saw that the city wall was so severely damaged , Seeing that the Han army under the city was still destroying, he couldn't help but cursed: "The Han army is crazy. It's so windy and windy, and they want to destroy my Fancheng? Do you want to die?"

It is true that the Han army was facing the wind and rain, and many soldiers were infected with the wind and cold, but fortunately, Liu Bian’s army had a famous doctor from the Imperial Hospital. When the soldiers returned to the barracks, Jiang Tang served them, so the soldiers who were infected with the wind and cold Not much.

Wenpin and the other generals were also a little worried when they saw the city wall being destroyed. Wenpin couldn't help but said: "It's raining heavily at the moment, and the Han army is using the rain to bombard the city wall, so the effect is remarkable. I don't know how long the heavy rain will last. If the Han army continues to destroy the city wall in this way, I am afraid that it will collapse in ten days and a half months?"

"Hmph, the Han army is so crazy, I'm afraid that all the soldiers in his army will be infected with the wind and cold, let alone ten and a half months? Liu Bian's call for yuan has been released for nearly a month, right? All the princes are waiting to take the lead. Hitting Yuan Shu, beating us desperately? What is this called?" Huang Zu was furious when he heard the words.

"Hey, our Fancheng is a knife hanging on the emperor's head. If he doesn't pull out Fancheng, how dare he attack Yuan Shu. I'm afraid the emperor is really cruel and wants to attack our Fancheng! This is going to be troublesome." Wen Pin was worried. road.

Wei Yan on one side stepped forward: "No matter what, we must not let the Han army continue to destroy the city wall. If we sit idly by, Fancheng may be destroyed by them in a few days. The general and I have five hundred cavalry, and I will go out of the city to kill Scatter the Han army and destroy the trebuchet!"

Huang Zu also knew that the Han army should not be allowed to continue to destroy, besides, five hundred cavalrymen are not harmful, as long as they do not go out of the city to fight on a large scale, it is not a violation of Liu Biao's order, so he nodded and agreed.

Wei Yan rushed out of Fancheng with [-] cavalry. The Han army was all infantry, wearing capes and hats, but they were no match for the cavalry.However, Liu Bian in the Han Army Dazhai was already prepared, and immediately ordered Yang Miaozhen to take [-] cavalry to meet him.

"Seventh brother, take the pawns and retreat first, I'll stop them!" Yang Miaozhen said immediately after seeing Yang Yansi.Yang Yansi was also unambiguous. His infantry could not fight in cape hats and hats, and they would suffer heavy losses if they were caught up by the cavalry, so there was no delay.

Wei Yan led his cavalry to pursue the infantry of the Han army. In the rain, Yang Miaozhen led his cavalry and met Wei Yan's cavalry on a narrow road.

Yang Miaozhen raised her brows upside down: "I am Yang Miaozhen, the guard general of the big man? How dare you underestimate me? If you don't kill me, I will kill you!"

"What kind of guarding general, how powerful can a female class be!" Wei Yan looked down on Yang Miaozhen, Yang Miaozhen snorted coldly, and stabbed at Wei Yan with a flick of the pear blossom spear in his hand.Wei Yan's face was full of disdain, but when the spear came, he was startled, and he quickly greeted him with a knife.

Wei Yan stuck his knife on the small branch of Yang Miaozhen's pear flower gun, and finally resisted the way forward of the pear flower gun.Unexpectedly, Yang Miaozhen turned her wrist, and the pear flower spear quickly brushed past the long knife and continued to stab at Wei Yan. Wei Yan quickly turned his head away, but only felt a tingling pain on his face. When he touched his hand, it was bright red.

"Ding, the system has detected that Yang Miaozhen's current force is 98, the pear flower gun is added by one, the wind-splashing horse is added by one, Wei Yan is using a long-handled broadsword, the master attribute is activated, the force is increased by 2, and the current force is 102. Wei Yan, the force is 97, the commander is 93, Intelligence 56, politics 48!"

Wei Yan underestimated Yang Miaozhen, but finally paid the price, and was disfigured by Yang Miaozhen under the carelessness of the enemy.Wei Yan was furious, and immediately raised his sword to fight Yang Miaozhen. The two fought for more than [-] rounds. Although Wei Yan was not afraid of strength, he fell behind in terms of moves.Wei Yan knew that Yang Miaozhen was no match for him, so he swung his sword and drew his horse away.

Just as Yang Miaozhen was about to chase after him, there was the sound of Jin retreating in the Han army's big stronghold. Yang Miaozhen didn't chase after him, and returned to the camp with the cavalry.The Han army returned to the camp safely, but the trebuchet could not be taken away. Wei Yan took the opportunity to destroy dozens of trebuchets outside the four gates.

Yang Miaozhen and Yang Yansi returned to the camp, Yang Yansi couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, why did you call for money to withdraw the troops, and I was about to lead the troops to fight out? Now that the trebuchets have been destroyed by Jingzhou soldiers and horses, what should I do?"

"Everything is in moderation. The trebuchet bombardment of Fancheng has reached the expected standard, and because of the heavy rain, the effect is even better. What's more, I secretly let the soldiers and horses dig a dark passage to the bottom of Fancheng. The Jingzhou soldiers in the city were afraid, so they sent troops to destroy the trebuchets. , let’s continue to place the trebuchets under the city, and they will find a way to destroy them.” Liu Bian explained in a deep voice.

"Is the city wall destroyed enough? Doesn't that mean that Fancheng can be flooded?" Yang Yansi asked with bright eyes.

Liu Bian turned his head and asked Guo Jia, and Liu Yu and the two said: "After days of heavy rain, can the people in the flooded area be relocated? Deyu, can the accumulated water flow of all rivers be enough to submerge Fancheng?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I brought thousands of troops to move the people in the rain for several days. I have moved all the people from the low-lying places to the high places! Even if the flood hits, there will be no danger."

Liu Bian nodded in satisfaction and then looked at Liu Yu. Liu Yu cupped his hands and said, "The water level has skyrocketed in the past few days. According to my many years of experience, the heavy rain can wash away the embankment in almost a few days, and the accumulated water will also be destroyed." It is enough to submerge Fancheng."

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Since the relocation of the people has been completed and the flood is ready to go, then Fu Youde and Liu Yu will obey the order!"

"The end is here!" The two stepped forward, clasping their hands together.

"In the past few days, you have built boats and rafts that are sufficient for 3 people. Tomorrow, you will select soldiers who are good at water warfare from the army and ride on the boats. Our army is stationed at a high place. When the flood hits, you go on the boats. Come and respond!" Liu Bian ordered.

"No!" All the generals took orders one after another.

Early the next morning, Fu Youde and Liu Yu selected [-] soldiers who were good at water warfare from the army, and went to the place where the boats were built in Feishui.And Liu Bian led the main force to set up camp at a high place.

The Jingzhou soldiers in Fancheng got the news and rushed to report to Huang Zu and others. They climbed to the top of the city and saw that all the Han troops stationed in the flat and low-lying areas had moved to high places, and the hills were covered with white cloth. towering.Huang Zu wondered, "Why did the Han army move to a higher place overnight?"

"It has been raining continuously for a few days, maybe there is too much water in the flat bottom puddle! That's why they moved to a higher place?" Wenpin guessed.

"No, no, it's been raining continuously for a few days, but I can see that the water level of the Xiangshui has not changed much. This is obviously unreasonable!" Wei Yan on the side said in a deep voice.

Huang Zu stared: "You mean that the Han army has cut off the river upstream and is already accumulating floods. No, the Han army has been attacking my Fancheng for several days. If the flood hits, I'm afraid it will collapse!"

Everyone couldn't help shivering. If the flood hits and Fancheng is destroyed like this, can it be stopped?Wei Yan quickly said: "General Huang, right now our army should quickly withdraw from Fancheng and retreat to a higher place to station! If the flood hits, we will not be able to guarantee that our entire army will be wiped out."

For a while, Wenpin and Huang Zhong also suggested withdrawing from Fancheng and retreating to a higher place.

Huang Zu was quite puzzled: "My city of Fancheng has a high wall and is located on a high ground, and it has been raining heavily for several days, so it will soon clear up? Even if the flood comes, I should be able to hold it, right? Besides, I also have all my supplies in the city. , if we give up Fancheng, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience."

When the generals heard Huang Zu's words, they still wanted to defend Fancheng. They couldn't help being startled. Wei Yan persuaded: "The Han army built ships and bombarded and destroyed the city walls. It is obvious that they want to use water to attack Fancheng! General must We must prepare in advance, fire and water are ruthless, if a monstrous flood hits, our army will be wiped out."

"Don't worry, this general has led the navy for many years, this Fancheng can be defended! You don't have to worry! What's more, what Wen Chang said is just a guess, and the Han army may not attack Fancheng with their hands." Huang Zu believed.

Hearing what Huang Zu said, there was nothing they could do about it, but after Wei Yan, Wenpin Huang Zhong and others went down, they sent people to demolish houses to collect wood to build boats and rafts for emergency use.

On the second day, the dams built by various rivers finally failed, and the flood water finally released.The small river merged into the big river, one river after another was connected, and one river broke its embankment, and the flood flooded from high to low towards Fancheng.

The ground trembled for a while, like an earthquake. The sound of thousands of troops galloping here was far worse than the roar of the torrent.Even after the heavy rain washed the mountain peaks everywhere, the sound of torrents sounded, the entire mountain peak collapsed, and the mudslides flowed into the flood water, making the river water filthy.

But after a while, the flood flooded everywhere from high to low, and the Han army was also submerged under the high place.Fortunately, the high ground where the Han army was stationed was high enough, and the flood in front of them was not too deep, so there was no fear of submersion.The flood gradually submerged everywhere, and the Han army also sailed to meet the ships, but after a long time, all the Han troops were safely received on the ships.

Outside of Fancheng, there was also a torrent of floods, the overwhelming flood hit, and a Fancheng in Nuoda seemed like a flat boat in the torrent, so lonely and powerless.

Although the four gates of Fancheng were closed tightly, the flood still seeped into the city through the gaps in the gates.Although the water level inside and outside the city was different, the city wall was seriously damaged, and Liu Bian secretly ordered the army to dig tunnels under the city. I am afraid that the collapse of Fancheng is doomed.

The flood rose higher and higher. If you could see it with the naked eye, you could see several passages leading to the underground of Fancheng in the camp where Liu Bian was stationed in a low-lying place before. The water breaks through and connects directly with the dark passage.

Following this broken passage, the flood directly crossed the city wall and rushed into Fancheng.Even because it was surrounded by city walls, Fancheng became a bucket instead, and the water could not seep out. Instead, it rose higher and higher, gradually equaling the height of the flood outside the city.
