Chapter 219 Chapter Thirty Flooded Seventh Army Defeats Maicheng (4)

In mid-August, the weather turned bad, and the autumn rains gathered together for several days without stopping.Guan Yu ordered people to drag countless small boats and rafts from Jingzhou to prepare weapons for water warfare. device. When Guan Yu built himself a sturdy boat and tried to row in the water, Guan Ping asked him curiously: "We are fighting and fighting against Yu Jin on land, but my father is preparing a large number of ships, why?" Guan Yu replied with a smile: "Pinger, do you remember the art of war I usually tell you? In land warfare, choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack; in water warfare, choose the wind to follow the direction of the water and live in it. Today, the forbidden army garrisoned in the Yukou River

, the name of the commander-in-chief of the navy is empty; he only knows land warfare, and thinks that the Ruokou River is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. " Guan Ping suddenly realized, and blurted out: "Father, could it be that he took the plan of flooding?" Guan Yu smiled confidently and said: "It is the plan of flooding. The Lukou River is not far from the water of the Xiangjiang River. If you dig the Xiangjiang River and divert the water to the mouth of the Luchuan River, it will become a fish and turtle in a urn. I can catch it with my hand."

.In the past few days, the autumn rains have been continuous, and the water in the Xiangjiang River is bound to rise.I have sent people to block all the exits of the Xiangjiang River. After the water is full, I will dig the embankment, take a boat from a height, let the water flood it, and make a great contribution. It can be done. " On 218, it was said that Yu Jin stationed troops in Chuankou, and the mountain torrents came out, and a few camps were full of rainwater.He was a little uneasy, so he called Pound to discuss the matter of relocating the camp. It's too late.Yu Jin said to him sadly: "Our army stationed here in a hurry, mainly because there are cliffs on both sides of the canyon that mountains and apes can't reach, and the mouth of the canyon is guarded by one man.

Mo Kai's favorable terrain.But I didn't expect the terrain here to be low and flat, let alone the continuous autumn rain, which would cause floods and trap people.I have trained sailors for many years, and I know that this terrain is most likely to be attacked by the enemy's water.this The general is invited to come to discuss the matter of moving the camp. " Pang De said: "I fought against Guan Yu for a few days, but he couldn't come out of the camp. I also heard from the soldiers that Guan Yu is preparing a battle raft these days. I don't know why?" Yu Jin was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Is this really true?"

Pound said seriously: "Indeed!" Yu Jin immediately ordered Pang De: "General, please lead the army to the Xiangjiang embankment to observe the water situation. We will move to Gaofu tomorrow." Pang De was ordered to leave, and Yu Jin immediately sent an order: "Pack up your luggage and move to camp at dawn tomorrow." The soldiers of the seven armies got busy, and Yu Jin personally supervised them to prevent the sergeants from slack. At five o'clock in the middle of the night, a troop of soldiers and horses led by Pang De was walking hard in the mud, and gradually approached the Xiangjiang River. Suddenly, some soldiers exclaimed: "The flood broke the embankment!"

By the light of the torch, Pang De saw that the Xiangjiang River, two miles away, lacked a big mouth several hundred steps wide. go. Pang De remained calm and ordered: "Detour and land quickly!" The soldiers avoided the direction of the flood, detoured a few miles, and arrived at the gap in the bank of the Xiangjiang River. The more than a thousand Guan Yu soldiers who were digging the embankment did not leave and continued to dig the embankment. Pang De rushed up and hacked and killed. Some Jingzhou soldiers fled for their lives in the speedboats that had been prepared earlier, and some of them died.

At the hands of Pound's soldiers, or fell into the flood. Pound occupied the embankment, but there were no sacks of soil to block the embankment. He watched helplessly as the flood rushed towards the distant Ruokou River. Pound wanted to go back to rescue Yujin, but he had no choice It is a vast ocean, and there is no way out. The dawn was about to break, and Cao Bing, who had been busy all night, just took a break to rest for a while. Suddenly, the soldiers at the gate of the camp exclaimed again and again: "The flood is coming! The flood is coming!" Yu Jin and his soldiers hurried out of the tent and looked up at the gate of the camp. The "rumbling" flood rushed in like hills and mountains, and the Chuankou Gorge was immediately filled with more than one foot.

In the deep water, hundreds of thousands of troops rushed into chaos in an instant, and the desperate cry for help was heartbreaking.Under the guard of a dozen of his own soldiers, Yu Jin climbed up to a place more than a foot above the water. High rocks, to avoid the disaster of the flying flood. Yu Jin's heart hurt like a knife when he saw the unaccustomed sergeant struggling in the water.An hour ago, except for a few soldiers who were still alive while climbing on horses and logs, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out. Cleaned up.The flood did not end, and Guan Yu's Jingzhou army sailed into the Lukou River with boats.The Jingzhou soldiers on the boat used long spears and sharp knives to assassinate the Cao soldiers who were lucky enough to float on the water.

.Seeing this, Yu Jin beat his chest and stamped his feet, filled with grief and indignation, looked up to the sky and shouted: "King Wei! Yu Jin has a heavy trust! It's a shame that hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out in an instant! I have no face to live, so I have to die to apologize!" After Yu Jin finished speaking, he drew out his sword and wanted to kill himself.A school lieutenant in his entourage grabbed his hand and cried out: "The general must not commit suicide! If the general still has compassion, please surrender to Guan Yu to save the soldiers who are still struggling in the water!"

Yu Jin threw away his sword, looked at the tens of thousands of lives in the water with tears streaming down his face, and sat down on the rock after all his thoughts flew away, and said weakly to his soldiers: "Okay." At this time, Guan Yu's confidant general Zhou Cang came here by boat, and Yu Jin's soldiers told him his intention to surrender. Zhou Cang took Yu Jin by boat, bound his hands, and escorted him back. After a while, the Jingzhou Army received Guan Yu's order: stop the massacre and rescue Cao Bing. The surviving Cao Bing was escorted to Guan Yu's camp.

When Guan Yu was counting the results of the battle, he heard that Pang De and a group of soldiers were trapped on the Xiangjiang embankment, so he decided to catch them all. Germany is trapped. Guan Yu saw Pang De circling like a trapped animal on the embankment, and shouted to him, "Is Pang De the general on the bank?" Pang De responded, "It's Pang!" Guan Yu said again: "Your lord general Jin has become my prisoner, and the seven armies have more than 30,000 dead and wounded, and they are still my followers. You can't do it alone. You should learn from Jin and surrender me!" " Pang De pointed at Guan Yu with his knife and said, "Stop talking nonsense! I, Pang De, have issued a military order to the King of Wei long before the expedition, vowing to behead your head and dedicate it to him." Guan Yu laughed loudly: "Pang De, your brother and the old master are both generals in the middle of Shu. You surrendered to the king of Hanzhong, and the flesh and blood are reunited. What's not beautiful?" Pang De was impatient and wanted to rush down the river to fight Guan Yu to the death, but hated that he couldn't swim, so he didn't dare to go into the water.Hearing that the one on the left surrendered and the one on the right surrendered, Guan Yu broke his mouth. Cursed: "Zhuzi! What is surrender? The king of Wei led millions of armored soldiers, surrounded the fertile land for thousands of miles, and his power shook the world. He is the king of the world! You Liu Bei is a foolish master, how can you match the king of Wei! I have been favored by the king of Wei , will repay him with his death! " Guan Yu was furious when he heard Pang De call himself a "Zhuzi", "I gave you favor because of your brother. Does my sword have any favor?" After speaking, he ordered the soldiers to attack Pang De by boat. Pang De and all Cao soldiers drew bows and arrows, and shot at Guan Yu's water army.Pang De's arrow skills were exquisite, and his arrows were not in vain. Guan Yu couldn't get close to him.Guan Yu also taught the soldiers to shoot at Pound with arrows, and the two sides shot at each other. One afternoon, as it was getting dark gradually, Pound's arrows were exhausted.Guan Yu lost no time and led his army to the embankment. Pang De showed no sign of timidity, and beheaded Guan Yu who had landed with a big knife. Feather soldiers.But his soldiers couldn't resist the Jingzhou navy which was several times larger than him, and they were killed and captured one by one. In the end, only Pound was left to fight alone. When Pang De saw Guan Yu in the melee, he was commanding the battle on a nearby boat, and killed two Guan Yu sailors who were approaching the shore in a boat. battle raft.When he was about to approach, Zhou Cang pierced his boat with a spear, and the water overflowed into the boat, and it sank in an instant.Pang De, who was born in Yongzhou, Xiliang, choked on the water and was unable to float. He was captured by Guan Yu and taken to prison. arrived at his camp. Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army this time and won a complete victory.He set up a celebration banquet in the camp and rewarded all the soldiers lavishly. The Jingzhou soldiers were beaming, drank the celebration wine and ate the victory meat.
