Chapter 785 Breaking the City Today
"They didn't attack when it was raining heavily, but now that the rain is less, they don't attack the city. They are confident!" Cai Mao stood on the top of the city, staring fiercely at the outside of the city, even through the rain, he could see The soldiers outside the city surrounded but did not attack.

"Governor, the scouts ventured out to investigate and came back. The nearby mountains, forests and bamboo forests have all been cut down!"

The scout captain cupped his hands and said: "The enemy army is not attacking, but making bamboo rafts!"

"Great Governor, it seems that they are determined to commit such a great crime!" Zhang Yun's face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

This made their last sliver of extravagant hope gone.

What is the purpose of the Yizhou army making rafts and bamboo rafts at this time? It is nothing more than to take advantage of the victory and enter the city when the water floods, and to avoid accidentally injuring their own people when they get the time. This proves that they are determined to be flooded. Jingzhou City is gone.

"Governor, give me a step. I will go north to attack their dams. No matter what, don't let them break the dams and flood them!"

A school lieutenant asked for orders.

"It's useless!"

Cai Mao shook his head: "We were caught in the trap when we went out of the city. We were besieged and killed by them, and we died as many times as we went, and we couldn't take down the dam. No doubt we were just sending ourselves to death!"

"Are we going to wait here to die!"

The generals stared forward, filled with deep resentment.

"We can't die!"

Cai Hao said softly: "We have warships, even if they break the embankments and flood Jingzhou City, they can't do anything to us. At most, we just put the battlefield in and fight. Even if we lose Jingzhou City, we won't lose the main force." , only……"

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"It's just that the hundreds of thousands of people in this city are about to suffer disaster!" Zhang Yun added Cai Mao's words: "They are really desperate to destroy the city!"

Once the embankment is broken to release the flood, the entire Jingzhou City will be submerged with the water storage scale of the upper reaches. It is really impossible to imagine how many people will survive under the flood.

"Pass my order, all soldiers are ready to board the ship at any time!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

He had to prepare for the worst. When forced to do so, he would ignore everyone and bring the main force back. Otherwise, Jingzhou would lose again and again, and the entire territory would fall soon.

"promise!"

The generals took orders in grief and indignation.

..........................................

"Xi Sima, it's been raining for the past few days, and the water level has risen by three feet!" On the upstream river bank, Chen Dao cupped his hands and reported, "Our dam still needs reinforcement!"

"It's raining like this, even if we continue to strengthen, we really may not be able to withstand this torrent!"

Xi Zhicai looked up at the light rain. It rained heavily for several days in a row, but in the past two days it has been light rain, but light rain is also rain, and rain is high tide. Once the water level of the embankment they built exceeds the limit, it will not be able to hold it at all.

"You can't make fakes come true!" He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not just us, Pang Xi's soldiers and horses are invited to help, we will continue to strengthen the dam, and besides..."

He thought for a long time: "It is absolutely necessary. We will open an opening from the east to discharge part of the flood. There are mountains for tens of miles to the east. There are few people in this area, and at most it is a submerged farmland. It will not let us commit a sin!"

Building a dam to store water is a risky thing. If you are not careful, it will cause the embankment to burst. At that time, whether you really want to flood Jingzhou City or want to scare them, you will let the flood discharge, flooding hundreds of people downstream. There are bound to be countless people affected in the surrounding area.

"promise!"

The generals surrendered.

....................................

Another five days passed.

After two days of clearing up, there was still torrential rain. The rainy season in Jingzhou made both the Yizhou Army and the Mu Army unaccustomed, so there were at least several battalions of soldiers who were not fit.

With the continuous heavy rain, the water level of the Yangtze River is constantly rising, but the water level of the Han River in the north is getting lower and lower.

Everyone seemed to be prepared.

On this day, Mu Jing was wearing raindrops, followed behind Liu Yan, and walked up the hill behind the camp. Looking down from the height, in the heavy rain, he could faintly see the outline of Jingzhou City .

"Longtu, can this city be destroyed?"

Liu Yan pointed to the front and asked.

"Can!"

Mujing replied: "As long as the Lord trusts you, you can break into the city today!"

"Really?" Liu Yan originally just pretended to be coercive, but he didn't expect Mu Jing to have such an answer, which was a surprise.

"The final general is willing to issue a military order!"

Mu Jing cupped his hands and said, "But at the end of the day, we will have all the rights to dispatch soldiers and horses!"

"You want the right to deploy troops?"

"No!" Mu Jing shook his head: "I just want the right to dispatch troops today. I will not be half a step away from my lord today. The military orders are issued in front of my lord, but my lord promises that the generals below must obey my military orders. Of!"

"Since you are so ambitious, how can I refuse you!"

Liu Yan was relieved, as long as Mu Jing was tied by his side, he would not be able to make waves, he clapped his hands, and asked someone to deliver some things: "This is the command arrow, soldier talisman, and military seal, which can command the soldiers of the three armies! "

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust!"

Mu Jing bowed his hands and saluted.

On this hill, a temporary command post was set up. The command arrows, the military seal of the order document, and the official military amulet were placed one by one in it. The command platform has upper and lower positions. .

Before Mu Jing knelt and sat in the case, he issued the first military order: "Chuan, Jingping's first army, break the embankment and release the flood!"

"promise!"

A messenger took the arrow and galloped away.

"Are you going to break the dike?"

Liu Yanju looked at Mujing condescendingly, and asked in a low voice.

"My lord, don't worry!" Mu Jing said with a smile: "In this battle, I will never let my lord bear the infamy. If there are thousands of crimes, I will bear them alone!"

Liu Yan stopped talking immediately, since someone was responsible for it, as long as he could see the broken city.

Mu Jing knelt and bowed his head, studied ink and picked up a pen, wrote a secret letter, stamped it with the military seal, branded it with the red color of the tiger talisman, then sealed it, and handed it to a messenger: "Quickly pass on General Zhang Ren , it's about military affairs, don't delay!"

"promise!"

Another messenger galloped away.

"Send another order, ordering our warships of the Yizhou Army to line up at the mouth of the river, waiting for the military order, and the three-way war drum as the signal, drum up and attack, without hesitation!"

"promise!"

Another orderly led the military orders away.

………………

on the river bank.

When Xi Zhicai received the command arrow, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Open the embankment!"

"Really, or according to the original plan?"

Huang Zhong frowned.

"Of course according to the original plan!" Xi Zhicai looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Have a half-opening, and then seal the dike. The momentum must be big, but the dike must be closed in time!"

Although the water from the flood was opened halfway, although the momentum was very high at the beginning, it was weak in the follow-up. At most, it only flooded the crops downstream, and could not drown people. At most, it could only drown people's waists. Once the door is blocked, it's gone.

"Yes!"

People take orders.

……

boom! ! ! !

A roaring sound shook the heavens and the earth, and could shake the downstream position for tens of miles.

"They opened the dam!"

Cai Mao climbed up and looked far away, saying gloomyly.

"Get on board!"

Zhang Yun remonstrated in a low voice.

"Hey!"

Cai Mao boarded the boat helplessly, ready to evacuate at any time.

……

outside the city.

"General, the dike has been opened upstream!" The scout reported to Zhang Ren.

"I see!"

Zhang Ren swept away the evil spirits of the past few days, but instead had a fighting spirit. He squeezed the letter in his hand and shouted loudly: "Send my military order, the whole army gathers, breaks into the city, today!"
