Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 786
"General Zhang!" Yan Yan rode his horse in the rain, and asked directly: "What is the matter with the military orders that have just been assembled?"

"It was sent by Zhongying!"

Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "We are going to attack by force!"

"My lord?"

"No!" Zhang Ren shook his head: "Mulong Tu!"

"how come?"

A cold light flashed across Yan Yan's eyes.

"The lord trusts him!" Zhang Ren said calmly, "And the lord believes that he can break through the city, so now the command of the entire army is in his hands!"

"Didn't he flood Jingzhou City with a frenzied plan?"

Yan Yan frowned.

"I thought so before, but we all underestimated the young Lord Hou who is in this world, he is just seeking to seek revenge!"

Zhang Ren handed the letter in his hand to Yan Yan, and said, "This is the military order letter written by Mu Longtu to me, what do you think!"

"It's really a good way to use flooding as cover and seize the gap to attack the city!"

Yan Yan is also a general. He has fought on the battlefield for many years, and he still has a good eye. He carefully read the letter and nodded in praise, but he also expressed his concern: "But what if he has evil intentions and really bursts the embankment to release the flood? Wouldn't everyone suffer!"

This is indeed a trick, but it may not be impossible to make the fake come true. At that time, if there is no news, the gap will be opened directly when the flood is released, and it will not only be Jingzhou City if it is submerged by a flood.

But their 10,000+ Yizhou Army will cover it.

"That's what I'm hesitating too!"

"But you have already ordered the assembly of the whole army, which is to follow his strategic deployment and want to attack the city, so it proves that you are ready to trust him once!" Yan Yan said.

"I bet he's not that crazy!"

Zhang Ren nodded and said softly.

………………

In the Shangang Command Battalion.

Standing at the gate of the camp, Mu Jing looked down at the mountain, and seeing the heavy rain covering Jingzhou City, his mood became a little restless: "I hope I can succeed in one fell swoop!"

This is a testimonial from him to Liu Yan, and there is no room for failure.

The flooding of Jingzhou City was just a false move, and the real opportunity to destroy the city was at the moment of flooding, that is, after the Jingzhou army gave up defending the city and chose to board ships to resist, when the city walls had lost their defense, the army drove straight in. best time.

This battle is easy to say, but it is very difficult to cooperate.

Especially the timing.

Therefore, Mujing's own confidence is not very high. The most important thing is that he is cooperating with Zhang Ren for the first time, and the two sides don't understand each other well.

"Drumming!"

At this time, Mu Jing could only calm down and order: "Order, the warships attack, block the river mouth, and oppress the moat of Jingzhou City!"

"promise!"

after an orderly ordered
……

On the Yangtze River, the warships of the Yizhou Army started to move, pressing directly against the mouth of the river, and heading straight for the moat of Jingzhou City. Once they broke into the moat, the powerful Jingzhou Army platoon would be oppressed on the inner city river.

"Yizhou warships sealed the mouth of the river?"

When Cai Mao heard the scout ship returning to report, his heart suddenly jumped.

It was impossible for him to get on the boat and escape until the last moment, unless it was really flooded, but at this time he suddenly found that the Yizhou warship blocked the river mouth, which was tantamount to stabbing himself in the way of retreat.

Although the warships of the Yizhou Army were useless in front of the Jingzhou Navy, in normal times, no matter how they blocked them, they would just be invisible.

But now if they want to rush out when Jingzhou City is flooded, they are suddenly entangled by Yizhou warships, even if they are entangled for a quarter of an hour, they may fall into the flood, then they will fall into a situation where they drift with the current and run aground on the shore. possibility.

"Great governor, stop and stop, and suffer chaos instead!"

Zhang Yun cupped his hands and saluted slightly.

"The whole army retreats to the city wall and boards the ship!" Cai Mao gritted his teeth and grimaced, at this moment he had to give up, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Order the first battalion and the second battalion to drive the warship to open the way and break through immediately." Jiangkou obstructs, preventing our army from being blocked in the moat!"

"promise!"

The captains of the two battalions hand over their hands.

……

outside the city.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan stood on a mountain pass.

boom!
The flood came, but in fact the water level was not high, it just disappeared on the city wall, stirring up huge waves, forming a particularly fierce offensive.

"Withdraw!"

The scout reported: "General, the Jingzhou soldiers on the top of the city have withdrawn!"

"attack!"

Zhang Ren was wearing a battle armor, holding a sword hilt, staring at a city that was close at hand. After the final consideration, he finally made up his mind, drew his sword forward, and shouted: "All Army attack, within an hour, take down the city wall of Jingzhou!"

"General, are there floods below?"

A captain said in a low voice.

"The water that can only submerge the heels, can you drown you?" Zhang Ren shouted coldly: "Attack for me, the whole army will attack, if there is any hesitation, it will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead.

The generals lay about halfway up to the water level, and rushed towards the city wall in the heavy rain.

It was at this time that the entire Jingzhou army was retreating and boarding the ship. There were no obstacles on the city walls, and they were useless. They didn't have to rush into the city gates. They could climb up as long as they built simple ladders, or even human ladders stacked on top of each other. Went up the wall.

In half an hour, the city walls fell under the feet of the soldiers of the Yizhou Army. They successfully climbed the city walls and occupied the city gates.

……

Embarcadero.

Da da da! ! ! !

The scout quickly came to report: "Great Governor, Great Governor!"

"What's the matter?"

Cai Mao was commanding the generals to board the ship and evacuate, but the warships of the Yizhou army were useless. He only used two battalions to break through the defense of Jiangkou.

"The Yizhou army has entered the city?"

"what?"

Cai Mao stared: "How is it possible?"

He suddenly thought of a possibility: "Where did the water level rise, did it break through the city wall?"

"absolutely not!"

The scout replied: "The flood from the upper reaches has only subsided after reaching the edge of the city wall. Not to mention drowning people, even children can't be drowned. At most, it can only drown the crops on the outskirts of the city!"

"puff!"

Cai Mao was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood: "We were fooled!"

If he still can't figure out what's going on at this time, it's not that he's unworthy to be the captain of the navy.

From beginning to end, the flooding of Jingzhou City was just a false move.

Build dams to store water.

Build rafts and bamboo rafts.

Pretending to retreat.

Blockade the river mouth.

One move after another is to make him think that the Yizhou army will not hesitate to bury hundreds of thousands of people in the city, but also flood Jingzhou City and break the defense of Jingzhou City.

However, all of this is just for him to take the initiative to withdraw from the defense of the city wall.

He is so stupid.

"Great Governor!"

When the generals saw it, they immediately came up to him.

"Order Zhang Yun to withdraw!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth, propped up his weak body by force, and shouted: "We are in this city, fight them to the death, and take back the city gate!"

"Governor, it's too late!"

A school lieutenant cupped his hands and said: "The first battalion, the second battalion and all the warships of Zhang Yun's troops have crossed the river mouth and entered the Yangtze River. It will take at least a few hours to return. We can't hold it!"

After leaving the river, it is not so easy to retreat. Even if the Yizhou warships are completely abolished, it can still be done by pulling them for several hours. Once they are entangled, the city will be attacked again.

They will suffer at both ends, and the army will inevitably collapse at that time.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Cai Mao shouted angrily.

"Governor, for the sake of our sons' lives, let's withdraw!" Several school lieutenants bowed their heads and cupped their hands to advise: "This battle is beyond hope!"

At this point, even if everyone is not reconciled, what can they do, lost the city wall, relying on the city, how long can they survive, even if they succeed, how much strength do they have to fight desperately with the Yizhou army.

"Someone is not reconciled!"

Cai Mao was carried by the generals onto the upstairs ship, and he couldn't help screaming up to the sky, but the expression of grief and indignation could not change the situation of the battle that had already been defeated.

In this battle, they were defeated without a fight, and they directly handed over the city wall to the Yizhou Army.

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

On the head of the western city wall.

Less than an hour after the attack, Zhang Ren has already stood here, planted the battle flag of the Liu family in Yizhou, and raised the battle flag in the face of the heavy rain, telling everyone that this city has been captured by them.

"How is the water level upstream?" This was the first thing he cared about after he ascended the city.

"Already retreated!"

The scout's answer reassured Zhang Ren a lot. It seems that Ming Hou still kept his promise, and did not really open the embankment to release the flood.

"Pass my order, the third battalion of the Dongzhou Army will guard the city wall, the fifth battalion and the sixth battalion will follow me into the city!"

Zhang Ren waved his long sword and pointed at the city: "Before dark, I will take the whole city!"

"Yes!"

The generals took orders with great momentum.

At this time, the Bajun soldiers and Yizhou soldiers who occupied the south gate of the city let go of their hands and horses. Like two long dragons driving straight in, they went straight into the center of the city and occupied the two southeastern parts of the city successively.

……

It was dark, and the heavy rain stopped for a while.

The Jingzhou Army withdrew from Yizhou City, one by one warships withdrew from the Jiangkou in an orderly manner, and then went down the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. They preserved enough strength, but abandoned Jingzhou City.

The Yizhou army occupied the whole city without injuring a single soldier.
