Chapter 1000: Heavy Rain
Wow!
After the thunder, the rain poured down.
Raindrops the size of beans fall sharply from the sky, hit people's faces and cause pain, and fall into the turbid river, ding ding dong dong and making a loud noise.
The heavy rain fell for several days, the ground was muddy, and there were potholes and mud pools everywhere, making it difficult to march, and not only that, but the water level of the muddy river rose two or three feet, and the waves were turbulent, and the waves crashed on the shore, rolling up countless huge splashes, and making a low roar.
"Why doesn't this rain stop!"
Yuan Shao stood at the tent door, looking at the sound of rain outside, frowning, and very depressed.
"Lord, the torrential rain has caused the river to flow rapidly, and now we are in the lower reaches of the Turbid River, we must be careful that the Turbid River overflows and floods, affecting the three armies." The judge's eyes were solemn, and he reminded him in a whisper.
Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said, "Due south, follow me to the embankment." β
The rain was lighter, and Yuan Shao and the judge came to the Turbidity River embankment with an umbrella.
The river, which used to be relatively calm and clear, is now extremely turbid.
Yuan Shao stood at the mouth of the embankment and saw the endless rolling river, rolling up the mud and stone river sand from west to east, rushing endlessly. And the soldiers on the bank of the river are as small as a grain of dust at this moment, as if a wave can swallow them all.
Hiss~
Yuan Shao sighed in his heart, he remembered Tian Feng's various speculations before, if the Turbid River dam really collapsed, then even the 200,000 soldiers, including himself, would not be able to escape.
Now the roads are muddy, the sky is raining heavily, and the evacuation of the village will greatly reduce the speed and efficiency, and the result will be half the effort.
Moreover, Yuan Shao was not willing to withdraw like this.
"Chun Yuqiong."
Yuan Shao let out a low sigh.
The bearded general in charge of patrolling the embankment clenched his fists: "The end will be!" β
"From now on, bring someone to reinforce the embankment in the area of Jiahd River County. Also, strengthen the defense and patrol of the execution embankments, and we must not give the Koji rebels any opportunity to take advantage of! Yuan Shao decisively ordered, his life was at stake, and there was no indecision at all.
"Don't worry, my lord, if you dare to come, you will be the first to cut off his dog's head!"
Chun Yuqiong replied with confidence and confidence.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Across the Turbid River, the camp of the Koji Righteous Army.
"In the past few days, how has Yuan's army moved?"
Zhang He entered the tent, and Koji Yi raised his head slightly.
"General Yu, because of the continuous rain in the past few days, Yuan Shao's army temporarily built a camp, and it seems that he wants to wait until the rain stops before marching. However, Yuan Shao seems to have noticed it, and has ordered his general Chun Yuqiong to lead his soldiers to strengthen the embankment. Zhang He replied truthfully.
When Koji Yi heard this, he sneered: "Does this guy think that I will be stupid enough to send someone to dig the embankment?" Let him go and go stronger, how is the thing I told you to do? β
Zhang He replied respectfully: "Through the efforts of the soldiers, the twelve weirs and ditches have all been blocked, and a large amount of river water has been accumulated. β
In that year, in order to control the flooding of the Turbid River, LΓΌ Bu built 12 main weirs and canals south of the Turbid River to divert irrigation to irrigate local farmland.
Now, after heavy rains, the river water rises, and the mouth of the canal is blocked by Lu Yi, in order to pour a large amount of accumulated river water into the Turbid River, and then break the embankment of the Turbid River, lead the turbulent Turbid River, and destroy the camp of Yuan's army in one fell swoop.
Now, the time has come.
"Pass the order, all the soldiers, listen to my command tonight!" Koji Yi put down the bamboo slip in his hand, his eyes burning.
Zhang He clenched his fists, and the last general received the order.
At night, there is a breeze.
Late at night, it was a little cold on the dam.
Standing on a high place, you can see the north bank of the river embankment, and the soldiers of the night patrol Yuan are walking back and forth with torches, inspecting the river embankment.
"Cheer up General Ben, if there is a mistake, no one will want to live!"
Chun Yuqiong, who had finished patrolling around, put down his cruel words and went back to the camp to rest.
After the morning of Ling Chou, the noisy insects and frogs quieted down, and there was silence all around, except for the flowing river, there was no other sound.
The soldiers of Yuan who were guarding the embankment were a little tired, and kept patting their mouths with their hands and yawning.
"You say, we stay on this dam every day, day and night, what are we trying to do?" A young soldier whispered.
"Didn't you hear the general? This is to prevent the enemy's surprise attack, the generals' planning, where do we little people understand, just follow the order. β
A middle-aged man who looked quite old turned back to the young soldier and talked.
"But it's been so many days, and I haven't seen any movement from the enemy, and now that the river is rising, it's difficult to cross the river, maybe people haven't thought about it at all."
"People are sleeping soundly at this time!"
"They are all soldiers, but our lives are hard, I heard that Lu Bujun's subordinates are treated very well, if he comes to Jizhou, I will keep the first to surrender!"
Hearing the young man's dissatisfied, the middle-aged man knocked him on the head hard, and said angrily: "You kid is dead, can you say this?" If the general hears it, he has to peel you off! β
"Cut, he's sleeping better than anyone else right now!"
The young man held his beaten head, his face was not afraid, and he talked about Chun Yuqiong's black history: "He just relied on his friendship with the lord when he was young to get the position of a general." Look at what he did when he became a general? Drinking, gambling, playing with women...... If it were me, I would be able to do it! β
"You're a!"
The middle-aged man was amused by him, "You kid doesn't know a few big words, but his ability to brag is the first!" β
The young soldier pursed his lips, very unhappy.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's face sank, his brows sank a little, and he made a silent gesture to the surrounding soldiers, and his tone was a little uncertain: "I seem to have heard a particularly strange sound just now!" β
The night guards immediately pricked up their ears and listened for a while, but they didn't find anything abnormal, so they joked one after another: "Team rate, now in the middle of the night, there is not a single ghost, are you behind your ears, hallucinating?" β
The middle-aged man shook his head and was about to listen again, but he heard a muffled sound of 'boom', as if something had collapsed.
This time, the night watchmen heard it.
The sound came from upstream, and they looked that way.
At this look, all the soldiers were stunned in place, so frightened that they couldn't speak: Water! Flood!
The 12 canals that opened the gate released 10,000 hectares of water, which poured down from the upper reaches and merged together, rolling and rushing into the turbid river. The much calmer river suddenly swelled wildly, like a monster with its mouth open, and swooped down on the Yuan army's camp.
Run!
The middle-aged man who came back to his senses hurriedly yelled.
At this time, who can still take care of others, but where can the two-legged people run too fast, only one wave came over, and swallowed them into their stomachs.
The reinforced embankment, as fragile as window paper, was suddenly washed away by the flood, tearing open a huge hole.
