ps: Corrected later........................................................................................................................................................................................................................ "What's the panic, isn't it just a rain, what's worth making a fuss about, pass on my military order, all battalions stick to the camp, no noise, those who shake the hearts of the army will be killed!" ”
"No. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The sergeant was so frightened that he hurriedly took the order and retreated.
Liu Xuan reprimanded the sergeant, but he also frowned deeply, such a heavy rain, it is indeed unseen in his life, at least it is a rare encounter in a hundred years, Liu Xuan's big tent is the highest place in the whole camp, and now the water has not reached the ankles, you can imagine what the situation is in other places, the shallow water, most of them are also knee-deep, and the water depth is not even on the horse's belly.
No wonder the Shu army will move overnight, it turned out that they had expected heavy rain, and now the Shu army has occupied all the highlands it can occupy, the Huns are one step late, and now the rainstorm continues, the soldiers can't enter, the horses can't go, and then they want to rob it, try to climb to the sky.
But Liu Xuan didn't panic too much, it was going to rain, his mother was going to get married, there was nothing to make a fuss about, Liu Xuan didn't believe in this evil, no matter how heavy the rain was, it could drown them all, as long as he held his position, there would always be a time to see the sunrise.
If it really comes to the point of last resort, it is never too late to go, no matter how heavy the rain falls, there must be a process for the water to rise, and there will always be a moment for him to retreat calmly.
But Liu Xuan didn't expect that this was his last night in this world. After three consecutive days of heavy rain, the rain finally became smaller, which made Liu Xuan, who had been nervous, finally breathe a sigh of relief, he almost didn't close his eyes in the past two nights, yawning for a long time, seeing that the rain was slightly slow, Liu Xuan was also in a good mood, and he could finally sleep peacefully.
But just in the second half of the night, Liu Xuan was suddenly awakened by the earth-shattering rumbling, he asked left and right why, the faces of the pro-soldiers on the left and right were like earth, their teeth were fighting, and they couldn't speak at all, Liu Xuan pushed the pro-soldiers away and stepped out of the tent, but the scene in front of him made Liu Xuan completely stunned.
The huge waves several zhang high are like a high wall, which is roaring with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, making a huge roaring sound, passing through the place, everything is indestructible, Liu Xuan saw with his own eyes that countless Huns and horses were swallowed by the huge waves, and no matter how strong the cavalry was in front of the power of nature, it was as small as a speck of dust.
The monstrous waves rushed towards Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan's body trembled a little, but he thought of his own many ways to die, but he would never have thought that he would eventually be swallowed by the flood.
What he couldn't figure out was that no matter how heavy the rain was, it would not be possible to create such a monstrous wave, so where did the flood that swallowed him and the Hun cavalry come from? Is it not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster?
Liu Xuan didn't have time to think about it anymore, the huge wave came in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Xuan and the tens of thousands of Hun cavalry stationed in Fuliu were all swallowed up by the torrent, and not even a single living mouth was left.
Such a large flood could not have been caused by rain, but could only be caused by the river bursting its banks, and the river bursting, in addition to natural causes, was only caused by man.
As early as ten days ago, Liu Yin had already made full preparations, in addition to sending scouts to survey the highlands everywhere and draw topographic maps, Liu Yin had already sent Zhuge Shang to lead the army to garrison along the Zhanghe River to prepare for digging embankments.
Water is the earliest use of resources by ancient soldiers, as far as the Spring and Autumn Period Zhibo chiseled Jin water to irrigate Jinyang City, as close as Guan Yu Fan City flooded the Seventh Army captured in the forbidden beheading Pang De, the use of water attack, often can achieve unexpected results, indestructible army, in the face of the flood, is almost vulnerable, proper use of water attack, can play a double the effect with half the effort.
Of course, the prerequisites for water attack are more demanding, and it must be in the right place at the right time to succeed. First of all, the area around Xindu is low-lying, known as a thousand hectares of depressions, and its terrain is the lowest in the Jizhong Plain, which creates the first favorable conditions for water attack.
The second is water, if according to the previous weather, there has been a drought for several months, and the river is about to dry up, Liu Yin will never move the idea of attacking the water. And this time the rainstorm brought inspiration to Liu Yin, Xindu is low, if the Zhanghe River and other rivers soar, isn't it a godsend?
Of course, if you want to decide Liu Yin, you can't just decide the Zhanghe, the Qinghe River east of Xindu is also under the control of the right army of the Shu army, Liu Yin ordered someone to send a message to Luo Xian, make an appointment at the time, and start at the same time, a single Zhanghe River may not be enough trouble for Liu Yuan, but if Xindu is besieged by big water on both sides, it is estimated that Liu Yuan will have to shed his skin if he does not die.
Zhuge Shang rushed to the embankment of the Zhanghe River, selected the location of the embankment according to Liu Yin's order, and waited for the river to rise before starting.
Liu Yin also ordered Deng Zhong and Ma Rong to prepare a large number of ships, and when the flood was overflowing, they could attack by boat and annihilate the remnants of the enemy who had escaped by chance.
The heavy rain came as scheduled, and the five armies led by Fu Tong had safely evacuated to a relatively high place, and the conditions were ripe for a water attack.
Three days of heavy rain made the water level of the Zhanghe River soar, the whole river was a wanton ocean, the Zhanghe River in the Xindu River section, the water flow is extremely slow, such a surging flood even if the Shu army does not break the embankment, it is inevitable that there is a danger of dam failure, after all, this rainstorm can be called a once in a hundred years.
Zhuge Shang gave an order, and the soldiers of the White Emperor Army worked together to dig seven openings in the embankment of the Zhanghe River.
The mouth does not need to be too big, the river water that was originally bound in the river channel seized the opportunity to break through the shackles at this time, and rushed towards the gap violently, and the embankment of thousands of miles can still be destroyed in the anthill, not to mention the gap of a few feet wide, the wave collapsed to a width of several zhang in a moment, and then with a bang, the embankment of several miles long collapsed together, and the water of the Zhanghe River poured down like a wild horse that had escaped.
The lowest terrain of Fuliu is the closest, and naturally became the first target of the flood, the monstrous flood formed a huge wave that is more than a foot high, swept down with the power of swallowing the sky and destroying the earth, Liu Xuan and other Huns did not have time to make any reaction, they were already swallowed up by the flood, and the corpses of countless Huns drifted with the waves.
The flood swallowed everything in Fuliu, and continued to move forward with a mighty momentum, and everywhere it went, it was like destroying and decaying. (To be continued.) )
