Chapter 285

It was sunrise and the sky was bright. Liu Jing was on the top floor of the gate tower of the South City, holding his hand on the window sill, looking into the distance.Cai Sheng, Ma Zhou, Chu Fang, Han Guang and others all stood behind him.

Liu Jing was awakened in the middle of the night. According to the report of the night watchmen on the city, the Xiang River overflowed, and all the southern suburbs of Ling County were flooded.

So far, the water depth on the flat ground outside the city has been several feet, and the city wall is only more than one foot above the water surface.And in Ling County, the water is extremely deep, so you have to use light boats to get around.

Wang Qiang sent news two days ago that the Xiangshui River might overflow and cause disasters, so Liu Jing was mentally prepared for this, and specially rushed to make a batch of light boats for backup.

Song Lin once said before that the Jingzhou army had already chosen another place with high and dangerous terrain to build a camp in order to avoid disasters caused by rain.

However, according to what he learned, the Jingzhou Army has only transferred some people, and most of the soldiers are still in the old camp.

The flood broke out in the middle of the night, and it was coming so fast that the Jingzhou army had no chance of being spared.

In the face of God's "help", Liu Jing's mood can be described as mixed. The joy is that, referring to the historical results of the "Flooded Seven Armies", he will win a complete victory without accident. Tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops will do their best. Captured.

It should be known that the tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops were elite troops gathered by Liu Biao after ten years of effort.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is difficult for Liu Biao to gather a second "Jingzhou Army" now.

This battle can be said to have directly interrupted Liu Biao's "legs", making him lose the ability to walk (attack), at least in a short period of time it is difficult to recover.

In this way, the counties in the south of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang counties almost became Liu Jing's possessions, and it was not impossible to even regain the entire territory of Changsha and rule the river with Liu Biao.

What is worrying is that the flood will definitely not be limited to Ling County. The counties of Lingling on the upper reaches of the Xiangshui River and the counties of Guiyang on the upper reaches of the Leishui River will not escape this catastrophe in all likelihood.

He only hoped that the scope of the flood would be as small as possible, otherwise, even if he got the whole of Jingnan as he wished, what he would get would be a mess.

The shouts of killing in the wind and rain are gradually subsiding, Cai Sheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha... Liu Jun, Liu Boxi, Liu Wenxiu, and Wang Zijian must have won, this battle is settled."

Liu Jing smiled and nodded. He was right. The navy on the west bank of the Xiangshui River was defeated, and the Jingzhou army lost even the hope of a comeback in theory.

Whether it is the Cai Mao navy on the north bank of Leishui, or the Kuaiyue infantry surrounded by floods, they have all become grasshoppers after autumn.

If Cai Mao was clever enough and had a chance to escape, Kuai Yue and his army would have no chance at all.

Ma Zhou, Chu Fang, Han Guang and others also rushed to congratulate Liu Jing. For various reasons, they gathered under Liu Jing's command and fought with the Jingzhou army to the death.

However, not all of them are like Liu Jing, full of confidence in this battle. Even though they had hoped for victory in their hearts, they never thought that victory would come so soon.

Liu Jing's rising trend is already unstoppable, and he is about to soar into the sky, and these people will also rise to the top and rise steadily.

In the future, their stage will no longer be limited to the square inch of Ling County, and the entire Jingnan thousands of miles will be left for them to gallop.

Amid the cheers and laughter of the crowd, the navy fleet gradually appeared in front of everyone...

…………

Last night, when the flood came down, the water military barracks on the west bank of the Xiangshui River were almost reduced to ruins, while the barracks where Cai Mao was located was much less affected because it was built on the north bank of the Leishui River, but this is relatively speaking.

Cai Mao ran around in the rain at night, and did not fully control the situation until Pingdan. At this time, Liu Zong had already led his troops out of the nest and launched a full-scale attack on the water army on the west bank of the Xiangshui River.

Cai Hao didn't know anything about this, but even if he knew, he still had more than enough energy, and the soldiers were not made of iron and copper. What's the use of sending a head to the enemy?

After the soldiers finished their food and regained their energy, before Cai Mao gave the order to board the ship, they saw more than ten large and small ships coming from south to north in the torrential flood.

During the period, the flood was raging, and the boat capsized from time to time, but none of the surrounding comrades came to rescue.

Cai Mao had a bad premonition in his heart, but what was even more shocking was that out of the dozen or so ships, only one was heading towards the barracks, and the rest fled north along the current.

Standing in the rain, Cai Mao couldn't help shivering. Even an idiot knows what the situation is now. The navy on the west bank of the Xiangshui River must have been defeated by Liu Jingjun.

"Brother..." Cai Xun, covered in blood, stumbled ashore from the bumpy deck, fell at Cai Mao's feet, and shouted hoarsely: "Defeated, defeated..."

Cai Mao gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes turned red, if this person was not his disciple, he wished he could hack him to death immediately.

In the dark night, sight is unclear and movement is inconvenient, that is to say, Liu Jingshui's army will go to battle at most in the morning, but now it is only sunrise, and it will only take more than an hour to fight fully. Cai Xun has no less than a hundred warships, and they are defeated so quickly.This trash is wasting his trust!

Seeing the murderous look in Cai Mao's eyes, although Cai Xun knew that brother Cong would not really kill him, he still couldn't help explaining: "Brother, the enemy army seems to have anticipated this flood and came prepared. And Our fortifications are not solid, and the places where the floods pass are full of corruption. The soldiers are frightened, and the ships are broken. One after another, even if I kill several people, it will be difficult to reverse the decline. The defeat in this battle is not the result of an offensive battle. Lost too."

Cai Mao also knew that Cai Xun and the others couldn't be blamed for this battle. If the two switched positions, he might not be much stronger than Cai Xun.

Cai Xun said again: "Brother, the defeat is now settled. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. I will withdraw to Linxiang temporarily and discuss it later."

"You mediocre!" Cai Mao was furious when he heard the words, drew his sword out of its sheath and said, "You want me to abandon the infantry and flee with the boat?"

Cai Xun persuaded earnestly: "At present, the infantry is completely flooded. Even if Eldest Brother stays, what's the use of staying? Eldest Brother currently has only a hundred ships under his command, and the enemy's warships are several times larger than ours. Come here, we have few soldiers and few boats, what can we use against the enemy?"

At this moment, the soldiers in the battalion suddenly made noises, Cai Mao and Cai Xun looked out at the same time, and saw hundreds of warships densely covering the surface of the river in the wind and rain, coming on the waves.

"Brother..." Cai Xun said anxiously, if they don't leave, they really won't be able to leave.

Cai Mao looked around, and saw that the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and the generals had no fighting spirit. Even if he did it reluctantly, he might follow in the footsteps of Cai Xun and others.

"Withdraw..." Cai Mao gritted his teeth.
