Chapter 284

"The Northern Army is finished..." Song Lin couldn't help but sighed as he watched the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army fleeing into the new camp.He rushed to Ling County to meet Liu Jing three days ago, only stayed for one night, and hurried back the next day. After all, he was not an unknown soldier, and if he did not show up for a long time, the Jingzhou Army would definitely be suspicious.

Ou Xiong was convinced of this, the Jingzhou army was indeed finished.He was six feet six inches tall and submerged below the knees.The terrain of the new camp is very high, and even if there is several feet of water, the water in the Jingzhou military camp must be several feet deep.

Judging from the current situation, the defeat of the Jingzhou army is certain. If their navy can withstand the attack of Liu Jing's water army, there may be a chance to pull out the rest and return to Linxiang.If they can't stand up to Liu Jingshui's army, the annihilation of the entire army is their only ending.

Ou Xiong was very thankful that he made a decisive decision to seek refuge with Liu Jing before. If he hesitated at that time and failed to make up his mind, Liu Jing might not accept it if he wanted to seek refuge today.

"However..." Ou Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly. The reason why he dared to seek refuge with Liu Jing was not only that Liu Jing was tolerant, but more importantly, he was confident that he would be of great help to Liu Jing, and even had a chance. Determine the outcome of the battlefield.

However, due to this unexpected flood, before he had time to show his worth, Liu Jing was already in sight of victory, so why not just go to see Liu Jing empty-handed?

When Ou Xiong was thinking about what "meeting gift" he should prepare for Liu Jing, Liu Pan's figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Compared to Kuai Yue, who was seriously injured and unable to move, Liu Pan reacted much faster. When the flood came, he realized that such natural disasters were beyond human power to resist, and he even abandoned Kuai Yue and the entire army. The soldiers retreated into the new camp with hundreds of pieces.

Liu Pan's choice was undoubtedly sensible and correct. Now there are not only thousands of infantry and [-] civilians in the new camp, but also most of the military supplies and supplies in the army have been transferred here.

As long as Liu Pan takes over the new camp smoothly, he will be able to calmly face natural and man-made disasters and wait for the rescue of his own navy with peace of mind.

After Liu Pan successfully escaped from danger, he looked back at the rapidly spreading flood and the soldiers struggling in the water with lingering fear. He will remember such a scene for a lifetime.

The guard of the new camp was the warlord who was in charge of Deng Fang. When he led the generals to welcome Liu Pan, he did not see Kuai Yue, and asked Liu Pan anxiously, "Liu Zhonglang, why didn't you see Chang Shi? Didn't he escape with you?"

Liu Pan was embarrassed when he was asked, and replied: "At that time, the flood was coming very quickly, the camp was in chaos, and the soldiers rushed for their lives. I was also carried away by the trilogy, so there is no long history."

It's not easy for Deng Fang to accuse Liu Pan. When natural disasters come, he may not be able to take care of them, let alone others?With a worried expression on his face, he said: "Changshi is injured, how will he survive in the face of the raging flood?"

"Long history is auspicious, and the sky is good, and he will definitely get out of the disaster." Liu Pan's words were so unbelievable that even he himself did not believe them, and there was no convincing at all.

Deng Fang sighed in his heart, the matter has come to an end, it is useless to talk more, he stopped entangled in this topic, and turned to talk to Liu Pan: "I don't know what's going on at the Shuijunyingwu."

He was talking about the water army barracks stationed on the west bank of the Xiangshui River to guard the flanks of the army.

Liu Pan frowned and said: "The main function of that barracks is to protect the army from being disturbed by the water. It only took a few days to build, and it is far from being strong. Given the ferocity of the flood, the situation may be Not to be optimistic. What's more, after dawn, Liu Jingshui's army will definitely take advantage of the danger, and I only hope that the military division can lead troops to the south as soon as possible to support."

Having said that, the two of them looked at each other speechlessly for a while, now that the flood is raging, Cai Mao wants to lead the crowd upstream, how easy is it?

…………

Time passed bit by bit, the rooster crowed in a blink of an eye, and Ping Dan came, and there were some faint lights in the sky and the earth.

There are many mountains and mounds around the Jingzhou military camp, and the distance to the new camp is not too far. In addition, most of the soldiers of the Jingzhou army come from the Han and Jiang basins, and they can basically swim. Therefore, as long as they are not drowned in the flood immediately, most of the soldiers of the Jingzhou army Can escape from birth.

The mountains and mounds occupied by the soldiers of the Jingzhou army are like isolated islands, while the vast areas including the Jingzhou army camps are all turned into Zeguo, which is connected with the Xiangshui River.

In order to avoid the flood, the soldiers of Jingzhou Army tossed and tossed half the night. They were exhausted physically and mentally, and hungry. Unfortunately, let alone hot porridge and rice, they didn't even have to eat cold and hard rice dumplings.

The officers and men of the Jingzhou army suppressed the wailing in their stomachs and looked at the east. They knew that the water army camp was not far from them, and they all hoped that the water army comrades would come to rescue them as soon as possible.

However, what they don't know is that the situation of the navy is not much better than them.

Due to the rudimentary construction of the barracks and the lack of preparation in advance, the navy suffered heavy losses. Not only were many boats capsized and lost, but soldiers and husbandmen were also killed and injured. The barracks were in a mess and almost reduced to ruins.

As the saying goes, "Fortune never comes, but misfortune never comes singly." Yingwu had just experienced a flood, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou Navy had not had a moment to breathe, and Liu Zong led his troops to the nest.

Because of Wang Qiang's reminder, Liu Zong had nearly three days of preparation time to minimize the impact of the flood.

Liu Jingshui's army came here this time. The ships and equipment are all fine, the soldiers are full of energy, and they also have a great advantage in the number of warships. This battle has not yet started, and the result is already doomed.

The purpose of Liu Zong's battle this time was not to defeat the enemy, but to wipe out the enemy completely. Therefore, he ordered Wang Qiang to lead the warships of his headquarters to detour to the back of the Jingzhou navy to block their retreat.

Seeing Liu Jing's navy put on a stance ready to encircle and annihilate their own side, the Jingzhou navy soldiers who were already panicked became even more agitated.

In a critical moment, Cai Xun and others will have to use killing as a means, and take the lead, so they can barely stabilize the morale of the army.

However, as soon as the two sides fought, the Jingzhou navy immediately fell into a disadvantage, and soon began to retreat steadily, showing signs of being bankrupt.

This cannot be entirely blamed on the Jingzhou soldiers for not doing their best. It is really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Their morale is low and they are hungry and thirsty. Whether it is spirit or body, they are at a low ebb. This means that they are on the water, surrounded by vast rivers and rivers , The soldiers had no way to escape, if they were on land, they would have dispersed in a hurry.

However, this battle did not last long. When Wang Qiang detoured to the back of the Jingzhou navy, completed the encirclement, and cooperated with Liu Zong who was in the front to launch a pincer attack, the soldiers of the Jingzhou navy immediately collapsed, and the various ships began to retreat The flag abandoned the flag and surrendered to Liu Jingshui's army.
