Chapter 523 The Battle of Nanyang

Li Feng's [-] troops were wiped out under the joint hands of Cao and Liu. After a few days' rest, the Cao and Liu armies attacked the border of Huainan together, and the troops approached the border of Huainan≥**()

Yuan Shu heard the scouts sent out to report that Li Feng's army was almost wiped out, and none of them managed to escape back to Huainan.Yuan Shu was so angry that he almost fell off his golden dragon chair.Yuan Shu was still in shock, and then another scout came to report that when Cao Cao and Liu Bei had led the army to the border of Huainan, Yuan Shu felt his head explode and roared like hell!

"Liu Bei!!! He!!!"

"Your Majesty, it must be Liu Xuande who secretly colluded with Cao Cao, that's why the [-] soldiers of Generals Li and Le were so easily wiped out by him!"

Yan Xiang took a step forward and shouted hastily.

"Big-eared thief, what a vicious person!!! I!! I!!! I!!! Come here, inform all the troops and horses, and gather the troops. I want to personally conquer the traitor, the big-eared thief!!! "

Yuan Shu was so angry that he was trembling.

"Your Majesty, you must not! At this time, Cao and Liu have newly defeated our army, and their morale is like a rainbow. The strength of the two armies is as many as [-] to [-]. I am afraid that they will be able to win the battle at this time. Please, Your Majesty, temporarily Be patient, wait for General Sun's army to arrive, combine the forces of the two armies, and then attack the rebels!"

Yan Xiang remonstrated again, Yuan Shu suppressed his anger, looked at Sun Ce quietly, and shouted with a questioning attitude.

"Bo Fu! Why is your father so late in coming? Could it be that he doesn't know that the country is in crisis right now!?"

"Your Majesty calm down. Of course my father knows His Majesty's urgency. Yesterday he sent someone to inform the general's mansion that it only takes three more days for the army to arrive!"

Sun Ce cupped his hands and bowed, very respectful.But in fact, he was laughing coldly in his heart.

"Yuan Gonglu is because you are in a hurry to seek death. When my father arrives, your life as an emperor should be over!"

Hearing that Sun Jian would arrive in three days, Yuan Shu's gloomy complexion improved a lot, and then he felt that his tone just now was more violent. At this time, the Sun family was holding great power, and Sun Ce was not only his son-in-law, but also his son-in-law. Moreover, he had a very high reputation in his army, and his father, Sun Jian, controlled nearly [-] soldiers, so Yuan Shu didn't dare to be too harsh on him.

"Hahaha. The Sun family is all loyal and loyal. With the Sun family protecting each other, why not be afraid of the two thieves Cao and Liu? Bofu, after this incident, I will reward you and your father! Fight with all your might, don't let me betray my trust!"

"The last general will be willing to die without hesitation!!!"

Sun Ce knelt down on one knee, shouted loudly, as if posing a loyal attitude.However, Sun Ce laughed wildly in his heart.Sun Ce even looked forward to counting the gates of the city, putting Cao and Liu's army in, and then attacking Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses together with his leaders, what kind of crazy expression Yuan Shu would show.

At the same time, fierce battles in Nanyang and Runan are also going on ≥**()

In Nanyang County, Xiahoudun's [-] troops attacked Nanyang City like a broken bamboo. Seeing that Xiahoudun's army was powerful, Lei Bo and Chen Lan gathered all the Nanyang soldiers in Nanyang City.Coupled with years of floods and droughts in the south, people are short of food. Both Lei Bo and Chen Lan hope that when Xiahou Dunbi's food is exhausted, they will inevitably retreat.

It is said that because Cao Cao mobilized an army of [-], he consumed a lot of food, and the counties were desolate and droughty, and the relief was insufficient.Xiahou Dun urged the army to fight quickly, but Lei Bo and Chen Lan ordered the soldiers to stand firm and stay behind closed doors.Xiahou Dun saw that the food supply was declining sharply, and Nanyang City could not be attacked for a long time, so he called Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures.

Inside Xiahoudun's tent, Xiahoudun's face was sullen, while Jia Xu was thinking quietly. After pondering for a while, Jia Xu slowly opened his mouth and said.

"Although our army's food supply is almost exhausted, it can last half a month. Even Lei Bo and Chen Lan are going to fight with us to consume food. Then we might as well cut off the water source of Nanyang City. People can go without food for three days. But don’t be without water for a day. The water storage in Nanyang City can last up to five days. As long as the water source is cut off, after five days, there will inevitably be changes in Nanyang City. General Xiahou can send several teams of soldiers and horses to pretend to be food delivery , Lei Bo and Chen Lan see that our army has food and supplies, and they must be in a hurry. Nanyang is in chaos. It's self-destruction."

"Ah, but if this water source is cut off, the 10,000+ people in Nanyang City will die!"

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Li Dian couldn't help exclaiming.Xiahou Dun also frowned, he must be a benevolent person, if so, he would not follow Cao Cao and live a life of killing with a knife and blood.

"Although this plan is good, it is to avoid hurting others. My lord has just become the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and it was the time when he was criticized. If this matter is leaked, I am afraid that the reputation of the lord will be greatly damaged. Seniors, make a big fuss."

"In today's troubled times, it is difficult to achieve a great cause if you only protect your reputation. If the lord is here, with his heroic qualities, he must be decisive. After all, as long as Lei Bo and Chen Lan's troops are wiped out, the people in Nanyang City will naturally be able to recover. Water source. Those who died due to lack of water, at most tens of thousands of people. But if our army storms Nanyang, most of the soldiers must be sacrificed. Of course, General Xiahou is the leader of the army. If General Xiahou does not use Jia’s plan, Jia will not dare Talk too much."

Jia Xu's expression was indifferent, and he talked about the lives and deaths of nearly ten thousand people, but his expression did not change. He was indeed a ruthless person called a "poison man" by the world.

Xiahou Dun listened carefully, and after a while, he slapped the table with one hand and nodded heavily.

"The strategist's plan is very clever, there is no reason not to use it! General Li, you immediately send me an order to lead three teams to block all the three water sources in Nanyang. From today onwards, I want no water to flow into Nanyang City! "

"Hey, the last general takes orders!"

Li Dian could not bear it, but how could he dare to disobey the military orders.After receiving the order, Li Dian withdrew from the camp and ordered the three teams of soldiers to rush to the water source outside Nanyang City.

Inside the tent, Jia Xu and Xiahou Dun fell into an eerie silence.Xiahou Dun silently glanced at Jia Xu, this person was covered with chills, and his plans were extremely vicious.Xiahou Dun couldn't help secretly rejoicing that these characters were under Cao Cao's command, otherwise they would be enemies, and if they were a little careless, they would have to shed a few layers of skin if they didn't die.

According to Jia Xu's plan, Xia Houdun cut off the water source in Nanyang, and at the same time sent Li Dian to lead several teams of soldiers and horses to serve as grain delivery convoys.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan led the army to guard Nanyang City. Seeing that Xiahou Dun could not attack for a long time, he thought that he would run out of food and soldiers in the near future, so he had to withdraw from Nanyang. It was intercepted, and the people in the city were robbing the wells in the city to store water.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan were shocked when they heard this.Chen Lan spoke to Lei Bo even more anxiously.

"General Lei, once the water source is cut off, it will disturb the morale of the army more than the food shortage! At present, there are Cao Jun guarding outside the city, and we can't go out of the city to transfer the water source. We can only rely on the water storage in the city to maintain it. After five days, there will be no more water in Nanyang City, what should I do!"

"Calm down, General Chen! You're messing around, you're playing right into the enemy's hands. We, the soldiers, will naturally give priority to using the water in the city to protect our home and country. Come, give me an order, and immediately send [-] soldiers to suppress the rioters and defend the country." All the wellheads in the city, no one is allowed to approach any of the wellheads without my order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be cut off!"

Lei Bomu, seyin of prey, wanted to use violence to monopolize the water source in the city.

"Hey!"

After the ordering soldier knelt down to receive the order, he retreated hastily and notified the generals.Not long after, three thousand soldiers flocked to the streets of Nanyang City, using cold and sharp weapons to drive away the people rushing to draw water from the wells, and then divided into small teams to guard all the wells in Nanyang.

The people of Nanyang looked at the rows of guns, and dared not speak out, so they retreated one after another.However, this is only the first day of Nanyang's water cut-off. As time accumulates, the people in the city will run out of water in their homes. By then, these people will become crazy and fearless.

Time flies like a white horse, five days later, in Nanyang City.

Shouting out in anger, roaring, and crying burst out everywhere.Most of the people in Nanyang had pale faces and dry mouths. Their eyes were full of madness, and they kept crowding towards the wells in the city.Teams of Nanyang soldiers blocked them with weapons, but these Nanyang people had been without water for five days. At this time, they only felt thirsty, and water was the only thing they wanted most urgently.The people of Nanyang ignored their guns and rushed frantically, rushing away groups of Nanyang soldiers.In order to resist the crazy approach of the people, a Nanyang soldier became angry for a while and stabbed an old man to death by mistake—the liquid dripped from the gun. The people of Nanyang saw the old man screaming and fell down, first they were terrified, and then there were two men Rushed out, or these two men were the relatives of the old man, the two men yelled desperately, and attacked the Nanyang soldier who killed the old man.In order to save their lives, the Nanyang soldiers pulled Xue Linlin's guns and stabbed the two men again—the liquid rose again, and the two men fell into a pool of blood♀The death of the two men seemed to have drained the savings of the people of Nanyang. The fire of resentment ignited ragingly.More and more people started fighting against the Nanyang soldiers, rushing towards the Nanyang soldiers one after another. Although these soldiers have armor and weapons, there are only a few 3000 people. How can they be the opponents of 10,000+ people? Immediately he was beaten and fled in all directions.After groups of Nanyang soldiers fled, no one was guarding the mouth of the well, and the people of Nanyang frantically rushed to the mouth of the well to grab the water source.

A soldier came to report to Lei Bo, saying that the people in the city were in chaos and were crazily rushing to store water at the mouth of the well.Lei Bo was furious after hearing this, and hurriedly gathered all the soldiers in the city to suppress it.

Groups of soldiers armed with guns formed a large formation, heading towards the unarmed civilians on the streets of Nanyang, viciously killing them.Lei Bo was the first to kill anyone he saw, extremely ruthless.More and more people in Nanyang died under the guns of Nanyang soldiers, and the streets were stained red with blood.

Nanyang City seemed to have become a hell on earth, and the heart-piercing screams could not be heard.But those so-called Nanyang soldiers who defended their homes and the country have become ruthless and cruel executioners, torturing the people in the city.Within a day, Nanyang City was almost covered in blood, and there were countless casualties.Under the crazy killing of Nanyang soldiers, the threat of death seemed to hang over the heads of every Nanyang commoner.

The chaos was temporarily suppressed, and Lei Bo watched those people running for their lives in a panic full of fear, and let out bursts of cold and cruel laughter. Lei Bo's laughter filled Nanyang City, not only terrified the people of Nanyang, but even The soldiers under his command felt numb in their hearts.

Throughout history, the army that slaughtered the people has never ended well.Quite a number of Nanyang generals, looking at the civilians lying in a pool of blood, suddenly felt the sadness of a rabbit dead and a fox in their hearts.

Lei Bo suppressed the chaos, and returned to the main hall of the county government with Chen Ji.With a sullen face, Chen Lanyin remonstrated in a low voice.

"General Lei, going on like this is not the way to go. Although the chaos will be suppressed today, as the water storage in the city becomes less and less, these people will become more and more crazy. We can't always use force to suppress it! And today we will See, there are quite a few soldiers who can't bear to kill the people in this city, if this continues, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny!"

Lei Bo was walking, but when he heard Chen Lan's words, he stopped suddenly.Lei Bo turned around slowly, and shouted in a cold voice.

"Who dares to mutiny! I will crush him immediately!"

Chen Lan frowned, secretly thinking that Lei Bo would be punished sooner or later for being so tyrannical.Lei Bo squinted his eyes, as if he had noticed Chen Lan's thoughts, stared at Chen Lan firmly and said again.
