Chapter 402 Flooded Xiangyang



Chapter 402 Flooded Xiangyang
After listening to Cai Mao's words, Liu He couldn't laugh or cry. He really didn't expect that his wife's uncle was so unscrupulous. Fortunately, at the last moment, they surrendered Jingzhou. Although they lost most of the land, there were still ten people left. Several counties, [-] elite soldiers, and a large number of civil servants and generals.

Liu He then let the Cai family and Liu Cong go to Chang'an, and issued order talismans to them. However, he left Cai Mao with a smile on his face, and asked him to return to Xiangyang with him. He still appointed him as the prefect of Nanjun to assist him. Defend Xiangyang by yourself.

Cai Mao originally opposed this point, but Liu He insisted on doing so, and refused to issue the order to return to Chang'an.

Cai Mao had no choice but to agree, but fortunately he thought that with Liu He protecting him, he should not be in danger of his life.

At this time, Liu He got the news that Guan Yu, the vanguard of Liu Bei's army, was launching a frenzied attack on Xiangyang. Fortunately, General Wenpin led the people to defend and mobilized the people to defend the city, which blocked the first attack of Guan Yu's army.

When Liu He got the news, he immediately sent Xu Huang to lead his troops for emergency reinforcements.

Although the military situation was urgent and he responded passively, Liu He was not in a hurry because he was full of confidence in his own strength.

"Hey, Liu Bei dared to attack Xiangyang with only 3 troops. It is really beyond his reach. Even if Liu Qi's 7 people are added, it is only [-] people. Now, there are more than [-] people in Xiangyang. People, plus the army that came one after another, the total number can reach [-] to [-], which is completely comparable to Liu Bei's army. In addition, I also have Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Huang, Pound, Ma Dai, Zhou Cang , Yu Jin and other generals, even if Liu Bei moves with all his strength, they are enough to match."

Liu He believed that as long as he was around, Liu Bei wouldn't be able to do any tricks.

However, after Guan Yu led his army to occupy Jiangling, he couldn't wait to lead his army to Xiangyang without waiting for Liu Bei's main force to arrive. The powerful fighting power of him and the soldiers under his command, perhaps before Liu Bei's army arrived, Xiangyang had already fallen into his hands.

"After capturing Xiangfan and capturing Liu Cong and his ministers, I will use Nanjun as a base to take back Changsha and occupy Jiangxia. Hmph, although Liu He is hateful, he is not as hateful as Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. The sneak attack on my Changsha when I attacked Jiangling back then not only discredited me, but also nearly killed me. Guan Yu will get back the shame sooner or later."

The last defeat in Changsha has always been a lingering shadow in Guan Yu's heart. Originally, with his temper, he should have led his troops to retake Changsha County immediately, but Liu Bei has a clear order here to let him take care of the overall situation. Because of small losses, Guan Yu had no choice but to agree, and led the army to seize Jiangling first, then Xiangyang, and after occupying Nanjun, he attacked Sun Quan, recaptured Changsha, plotted Jiangxia, and shamed the past defeat.

Guan Yu led his army to capture Jiangling with lightning speed, and he didn't pay much attention to Xiangyang, so he led his army to launch a fierce attack when he just arrived at the city of Xiangyang and his foothold was not stable.

Guan Yu thought that relying on his reputation, Xiangyang City should surrender, but he didn't expect to encounter stubborn resistance. After two hours, he lost thousands of people and gained nothing.

However, Guan Yu did not feel frustrated because of this. After some research, he finally thought of a clever plan. He believed that as long as this plan was implemented, Xiangyang City would be at his fingertips.

This strategy is to flood Xiangyang.

Xiangyang City is located at the confluence of the Han and Mian Rivers, and the moat was built on the basis of these two major water systems, so the moat is very wide, and the city wall is also built thickly. It can definitely be called a strong city.However, it has a fatal weakness, especially now that it is the season of continuous autumn rains. The water levels of Han River and Mian River have risen a lot. It can be said that Philadelphia is rich in available water resources. If it is flooded at this time, Xiangyang City Absolutely can not resist.

So Guan Yu ordered the soldiers to secretly prepare boats and rafts, pack up rain gear, and ordered Xiangyang to be flooded.

In fact, it is said that there are wise men like Kuai Yue stationed in the city, so they should be able to understand Guan Yu's intentions, but Guan Yu has the characteristic of "flooding". Those whose intelligence value is below 20 cannot see through. Because of this, Kuai Yue even found out that he could see through Guan Yu's plot and let him succeed.

In the middle of the next day, Chen Yun, a soldier guarding the city, was nervously observing the movement of the outside world, when he suddenly heard a huge roar, which made Chen Yun very surprised. He lit a torch and watched carefully. Immediately, a cold sweat broke out in fright, because what appeared in front of him was a vast expanse of white water.

Although the flood did not overflow the city wall, it is impossible to overflow the city wall, but it is already half the height of the city wall. No matter how strong the city wall is, it will definitely not be able to withstand the flood, not to mention that there are many connections between the inside and outside of the city. place, which caused the flood to start flowing into the city, which would definitely cause a huge disaster.

Only then did Chen Yun realize that the roar he heard just now was actually the sound of water flowing!

"No, it's not good, there's a flood." Seeing this scene, Chen Yun hurriedly shouted, and immediately saw the patrolling soldiers running over after hearing the news. When they saw the white flood, their faces turned pale , flustered, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, Wu Fei, their captain, said, "What are you still doing? Go and report to the general. Also, not only the general, but also the people in the city should be notified, and they can save as many as they can. , I don’t know how many families will be destroyed, alas, what a crime!”

The surrounding soldiers woke up like a dream, and they went down the tower one after another, either to report to Wenpin who guarded the city, or to save the people.

However, when they got down to the tower, they found that the water was waist-deep at this time. Fortunately, they all grew up by the water, and most of them were proficient in water, so they all swam forward in critical moments, because it was faster than walking. much.

In fact, Wenpin already knew that there was a flood in the city without being notified by the soldiers guarding the city, because Wenpin hardly had any rest in order to be able to hold on to the city. , so I was more careful, and I was patrolling the city accompanied by my own soldiers, but I saw a flood coming from outside the city and knocked down the city gate.

It wasn't until this time that Wenpin realized that Guan Yu's plot was to flood Xiangyang, so he immediately took countermeasures and ordered: "Quickly, prepare the ships and prepare to meet the enemy. In addition, send 500 people to rescue them everywhere." The affected people!"
