Chapter 510: The Great Flood Flooded Yuan Shao
The number of bed crossbows in his hand reached four hundred, which also made Yuan Shang high-spirited, he knew that these bed crossbows were the biggest hole cards of the Jizhou army, even if the Jizhou army knew that Jizhou had bed crossbows, and Bingzhou also had bed crossbows, he would completely overwhelm the other party with a numerical advantage, and from the siege of the Bingzhou army, there were only two hundred bed crossbows in the army at most.
In this way, the bed crossbow has become a crucial factor in the decisive victory, although Yuan Shang did not go to Jingzhou with the army, but he heard that Yuan Shu used the bed crossbow to defeat the alliance of the princes who had the upper hand.
In the past two days, Yuan Shao has often appeared in the army to boost morale, but Yuan Shao's appearance in the army really makes the soldiers excited.
The moat of the Dangyin is drawn out of the water, but under the repeated siege of the Jizhou army and the Bingzhou army, the moat has already been filled.
The Bingzhou army attaches great importance to the scouts, so that the scouts of the Jizhou army don't plan to get out of the Dangyin, under the scimitar of the flying horse, they are at most active in the radius of about five miles of the Dangyin, and the blood lesson also tells the scouts of the Jizhou army, don't leave the city too far, the scouts of the flying cavalry are like ghosts on the battlefield, and they will appear around them at any time.
Ten miles northeast of Dangyin City, if there are scouts from the Jizhou army who arrive here, they can find that the water flow here has been cut off, and on the other side, the water surface is two feet higher, and it is still rising at a slow speed.
Dian Wei shook the coat on his body, soaked in the rain for a long time, and his hands were a little white, "It's finally over, how long have we been here?" ”
One of the guards replied, "General, it's been five days. ”
"General Ben has been in this bird place for five days, damn the Jizhou army." When he opened his mouth, rain flowed into his mouth, and Dian Wei hated.
"General, what are we doing here to cut off the flow of water?" A guard asked curiously.
Dian Wei glared at the guards and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, how can you figure out what the lord does, be careful that the general treats you as an enemy." ”
The guards shrunk their necks, and the guards who were superior in front of outsiders, when facing Dian Wei, they couldn't resist at all, and Dian Wei had already conquered the guards with his strong force.
Dian Wei looked at the water that was still slowly rising, with a faint smile on his face, before he came, Jia Xu explained the importance of his trip alone, thinking of the tragic situation that the Jizhou army was going to face, there was a burst of excitement for no reason, such an attack was obviously more powerful than the siege.
"General Dian, the military advisor has an order, open the gap!" A person flashed out of the darkness, it was Zhao Shu.
"Haha, it's finally time for this day, brothers, release the water!" Dian Wei shouted: "Let the Jizhou army taste the taste of soaking in water!" ”
There were many shrewd people among the guards, and when they heard Dian Wei's words, they immediately became excited, and rushed to the embankment that had been built with great difficulty.
In a matter of moments, a breach was opened in the embankment, and the water that had been backlogged for too long was gradually increased after the release point was found.
Seeing this, Dian Wei hurriedly led the guards to run towards the high ground on the side.
As soon as he reached the heights, Dian Wei heard a boom, the embankment was completely breached, and the rushing water was wrapped in boundless power, heading in the direction of the dangyin, and where it passed, the big trees were brought up by the roots.
Dian Wei and the other guards looked at everything in front of them in amazement, the power of this water seemed to be too great.
In the city of Dangyin, the soldiers of the Jizhou army who were sleeping suddenly heard a rumbling sound, which was several times louder than the momentum of the cavalry charge, and the soldiers guarding the city looked at the outside of the city in a daze, not to mention the cavalry at this time, they couldn't even see a figure, and the state army had withdrawn to the camp twenty miles away.
"General, it's the water, it's the water." A soldier said with trembling fingers, pointing to the water rushing from the northeast, and said with a pale face.
Zhang He's expression changed greatly, turned over his horse, and rushed to the city.
The speed of the water was too fast, as if he wanted to completely release the resentment that had been accumulated by the state army for many days, Zhang He had just ridden his horse and walked less than a hundred steps, and the water rushed towards the city wall.
In front of nature, manpower is so fragile that just a wave will rush open the gate of the city.
As soon as the defenders of the city woke up, they saw a huge wave coming, and there were large trees and stones wrapped in them, and many soldiers were swallowed up by the rushing water before they could shout.
At this time, the safest place in the city is the city wall, on the city wall, not to be flooded, at this time the defenders on the city wall are happy, but also the most frightened, they are not in danger of being swallowed by the flood for the time being, but they have witnessed how the water rushes into the city, and the soldiers in the city are also struggling towards the city wall.
The moment he heard the sound of water, Feng Ji's complexion changed greatly, and he suddenly remembered all kinds of abnormal actions of the Bingzhou army, let the army enter the city, retreated twenty miles and stationed at a high place, everything showed that the Jizhou army wanted to take a water attack, but it was a pity that the Jizhou army was busy with the decisive battle with the Bingzhou army a day later, and he was even more busy in it, ignoring the harm that might be caused by the continuous rain.
"Lord, go quickly!" Feng Ji ordered Yuan Shao's personal guards to look for the ship and hurriedly broke into Yuan Shao's room.
Yuan Shao was lucky, there was a lot of water passing through the city, and many people had boats, and it was these soldiers who robbed the boats that the people would not look at and saved Yuan Shao's life.
The Bingzhou troops stationed twenty miles outside the city also heard the movement in the distance, and when the sky was light, they were surprised to find that the direction of the dangyin was all stagnant water, and judging from the houses not far away, the water was nine feet deep.
Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to take out the ships that had been prepared long ago, and then led the soldiers in the direction of Dangyin City.
It was already an hour after Lu Bu and the others arrived outside Dangyin City, which was also the reason why the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army did not know how to row.
As far as the eye can see, the city walls are densely packed with Jizhou soldiers.
"Order, those who descend will not be killed!" Lu Budao, although these soldiers of the Jizhou army are on the city wall, if they resist, they will also bring a lot of casualties to the army.
When they heard the shouts of the Bingzhou army that those who surrendered and did not kill, many soldiers put down their blades in their hands, and in the face of the overwhelming water, they had completely lost their fighting spirit, plus the main generals in the army had left with Yuan Shao by boat, they were just abandoned pawns of the Jizhou army, and even if they resisted, it was meaningless.
