Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms

Dark clouds as black as ink shrouded the sky above Jiangling City. Although it was daytime, it was as dark as dusk. It was raining heavily, and the whole world was drenched with rainwater.

Historically, this torrential rain lasted for more than ten days, followed by two months of continuous moderate and light rain, which was a flash flood once in a thousand years.

Although there have been more than 200 records of catastrophic disasters on the Yangtze River since the Western Zhou Dynasty, such cataclysmic catastrophes often only occur once in tens or hundreds of years, which is extremely rare, which shows how harmful such floods are.

Under such a torrential rain, the sky and the earth were all gray, and the Yangtze River was rolling towards Jiangling City. The waterway that was connected to the river completely overflowed, forming a terrifying above-ground river.

Lightning illuminated the sky, thunder exploded overhead, and heavy rain ravaged the city by the river. With that loud bang like a storm, the city wall collapsed.

Countless Jiangdong troops fled from the south city to the north in embarrassment, because the river was still pouring into the city, but then they came back.

Under the command of the general, many people swarmed like ants and rushed towards the torrent, using the sand they brought, the straw bags weaved, rolling boulders, and even their bodies to fill the terrifying gap.

But no one can stop it anymore. The power of nature is extremely terrifying. In the turbulent waves, people are like some dust, easily swept into the waves by the river, without a sound.

"It's over, it's over."

"Hold me, don't let go, ah"

"Ah! God! God! Why are you doing this!"

Some of the Jiangdong Army cried, some were swept away by the wind and waves, and some raised their hands and roared to the sky.

The sky is still raining, and it will not give people any response except for the violent wind and rain that washes away everything in the world.

Numerous turbid rivers poured into the city, and planks, sundries, houses, brick walls, and debris all gathered into a torrent and swept across the entire city.

At this time, Lu Meng was still facing the menacing Shen Chenjun on the tower of the North City. Hearing the loud noise behind him, he rushed to the rear wall immediately. Seeing the roar of the collapse, his face turned pale.

The city was already in chaos. The water flowed continuously into the city along the water gates extending in all directions, and quickly flooded all the streets. Many low houses had been submerged.

Although it has not yet reached the height of five or six feet as recorded in history, when the flood can submerge to a height of one foot, whether it is one foot or five or six feet, it has no meaning.

Because even if the houses in the city are full, few of them are more than one foot high. A large number of warehouses placed on higher ground have been submerged, and there are very few supplies and armaments left. It is already difficult for Jiangling City to hold on.

Many soldiers were swept up by the tide and could only run towards the city wall. The east and west walls were the longest at [-] kilometers, and the north and south were shorter. Even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was only [-] kilometers. The section of the city wall that was no more than five kilometers long was densely packed with people.

With red eyes, Lu Meng looked at the flooded city in the rain, and ran to the north like crazy, shouting: "Shen Chen, how did Shen Chen do it? Did he know that the wall would collapse today? How did it happen, it's impossible!"

Yang Tian's furious roar could not get any response, and Yu Fan beside him tried to dissuade him: "General, now is not the time to care about these things, the river surged and flooded the city, if you don't withdraw, the whole army will be wiped out."

"Authentic, authentic."

A general pointed to the river gushing out in the distance and shouted: "They dug tunnels inside and outside the city, so the river flooded in, the tunnels collapsed, and the city walls fell."

Lu Meng's ferocious face looked towards the city, and what he saw was the river gushing out of the tunnel, gushing like a fountain.

Countless soldiers were engulfed by the tumbling river, and they couldn't splash a little when they were caught in the waves.

After just taking a glance, Lu Meng turned his head and looked towards the north of the city. The melodious "Woooo" horn sounded in the distance, even in the wind and rain, it could be heard faintly. Approaching the city.

He roared: "Open the east gate and withdraw from Jiangling."

"Get out, get out."

"Jiangling City can no longer be defended, the general told us to open the east gate and retreat."

"Hurry up and go in the direction of Yunmengze."

The soldiers shouted one after another, and the city was in chaos. Countless soldiers crowded at the east gate and ran towards the east gate dripping with water.

Compared to Jiangling City, which has become the country of Ze, the outside of the city is fine, and the water only submerges the ankles, only because the city wall collapsed and the river flooded in, causing the water level in the city to skyrocket.

After the east gate was opened, a large amount of water rushed out of the east gate like a flood, and soon the water level dropped slightly, and countless soldiers swarmed down the city wall and ran out.

Some of the more than 3 soldiers were on the city wall, some were at the east gate, and some were submerged in the water, and an unknown number of corpses floated in the torrent in the city.

At this moment, Xu Sheng's troops outside the city are stationed at Yunmengze Wharf.

Sun Quan gave Lu Meng 6 men to defend Jiangling. Except for the [-] men taken away by Ding Feng, the rest were divided into two groups, one in Jiangling City, and the other near the high-lying wharf in the east of the city to guard the ships.

The situation on Xu Sheng's side was much stronger than that on Lu Meng's side. Almost when Shen Chen's army went south, he had already started to gather soldiers immediately.

The scouts quickly reported to him the news that the southeast corner of Jiangling City was soaked in flood water, and the root of the wall was corroded, and the river washed away. Xu Sheng was taken aback, and immediately sent soldiers to respond.

There was chaos outside the east city, and the most troublesome thing was that Shen Chen's army in the far north was still attacking here, but because the Yangtze River also flooded and turbulent from south to north, they were almost killed. Flooded, the speed can't get up.

Shen Chen was completely soaked at this time, the water under his feet had already flooded his calves, and the wind and waves were surging. Fortunately, it was autumn and winter, and the north wind was blowing in the south. If the southeast wind blows in the opposite direction, it would probably be even worse.

The general Shen Tao moved closer to him, and shouted at him: "General, do you want to attack now?"

"what?"

"Attack now?"

"hold on."

Because the sound of wind, rain and water flow is too loud, you need to roar.

Shen Chen could only gesture to Shen Tao, signaling them to go southeast first, cutting off Lu Meng's way out of the city.

At this time, Jiangdong's army filed out from the east gate, thrashing about in the water in embarrassment, moving with difficulty.

The Nanyang Army quickly approached and did not attack immediately.

The reason is that Xu Sheng's soldiers have already set up an offensive on a sloping land in the southeast. As long as they dare to come, the enemy can attack from the flank.

Therefore, Shen Chen decided to wait and see the situation first, wait until the enemy was ready to retreat and board the ship, and take advantage of the chaotic period to launch a general attack.

"boom!"

There was another loud and muffled thunder, and everyone couldn't help but squat down and dodge.

This is human instinct, even Shen Chen is no exception.

When he raised his head and looked into the distance again, Lu Meng's army withdrew from Jiangling like ants, heading towards the pier of Yunmengze.

Xu Sheng's camp was on a relatively high terrain, they were condescending, and the archers aimed at the northwest.

Although in such a north wind weather, they shoot arrows against the wind, and the range is definitely not far, but after all, this side is wading forward, the speed is slow, it is not easy to dodge, and it is easy to be a target, so there is no need to cause casualties.

Lu Meng walked out of the city with difficulty. He took a look at the city for the last time. Before he could miss it, there was another bang. The city wall at the southeast corner collapsed completely, and the river water from the south poured in again, and the whole city was plunged There is a piece of Zeguo.

"Zi Ming!"

Seeing that Lu Meng's army had successfully withdrawn, Xu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, went up to meet him and said, "It's good that you're safe and sound."

Lu Meng's whole face twisted, and he said in grief and indignation: "God bless Jiangdong."

Xu Sheng could only comfort him: "The top priority now is to evacuate to the ship as soon as possible, even if Shen Chen is sent back to Yizhou, so what? Liu Bei has lost Jingzhou after all, and Marquis Wu has won this battle."

"Great victory?"

Lu Meng smiled bitterly and said: "Letting Shen Chen go back is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. In the future, there will be a fight between Liu Bei and Marquis Wu. Liu Bei's strength is still there. Isn't it for Cao Cao's profit? The only way to kill Shen Chen is to destroy all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou , they dare not fight with us."

"Ugh."

Yu Fan sighed, patted Lu Meng on the back and said, "Ziming, retreat first."

"withdraw!"

Xu Sheng issued the military order instead of Lu Meng.

More than [-] people evacuated towards the high slope to the east in a panic, and then headed towards the pier.

In the distance, Shen Chen's army was scattered in the north of Jiangling City, about half a mile to the east, they waded towards this side, and the two sides were already very close.

Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, even Lu Chang hurried over like ducks wading over the water, shouting, "General, they are about to flee."

"Can't run."

Shen Chen pointed to the mighty Yangtze River in the south, and said to him, "What do you think is that?"

The surrounding soldiers all looked towards that side.

I saw countless tall ships appearing on the gray surface of the river. I don't know when they put down their sails, relying on the water flowing down the river, ups and downs in the flood, galloping all the way.

After arriving in Jiangling, one of them did not continue to go south, but headed straight east, heading in the direction of Yunmengze.

Jiangling is in the north of the Yangtze River, but the Yangtze River will turn sharply southward in the direction of the east of Jiangling. The east side is washed by the river to form an alluvial fan plain, which is located in the area of ​​Shashi District in later generations.

At that time, this area was also land, and Xu Sheng's army was stationed here. The Yangtze River washed this area into a high slope, and the higher terrain was not submerged by water.

However, this place is also connected to Yunmengze in the north, and there is a ditch leading directly. In later generations, this ditch connects Changhu Lake, Jiangjin Lake and the Yangtze River. Go north, directly to Yunmeng Zeli, east of Jiangling.

The current of Yunmengze is not as fast as the Yangtze River, so the boats from Jiangling are all placed on Yunmengze Wharf.At this time, the main force of the Jiangdong Army was all marching towards the pier, along the high slope road, heading north.

Countless Jiangdong soldiers marched forward in the rain. They were on the left bank of the ditch connecting Yunmengze and the Yangtze River. Drive into the lake of Yunmengze.

Many people even subconsciously think that this is their own ship, because in their subconscious mind, Jingzhou's navy has only 5 people, of which more than 3 were trapped in Xiakou by Sun Quan, and most of the ships were burned. The enemy has no fleet up.

Therefore, most of the Jiangdong soldiers did not scream and panic at all. On the contrary, they were a little bit happy. They all thought that Sun Jiaoding, who was located in Yiling Yidao and other places in the northwest, had sent ships back to rescue them.

But on a small hill outside Yunmengze Wharf, Lu Meng had already seen the boats approaching the Yangtze River in the south, and he shouted, "Whose boat is that?"

"Could it be that Ding Feng is back?"

Because of the gloomy weather, Xu Sheng couldn't see clearly, so he guessed: "Now only Ding Feng and Sun Jiao have a boat in their hands."

"It's not like that."

Yu Fan had good eyesight, frowned and said, "It looks like it's not a Jiangdong ship."

Lu Meng just stood there for a couple of seconds, then he shouted in horror, "Quickly, let the soldiers get on board and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Meet the enemy?"

Xu Sheng froze for a moment.

"Meet the enemy, that's not Jiangdong's boat!"

Lu Meng yelled angrily at him with red eyes, almost spit on Xu Sheng's face.

Xu Sheng woke up immediately, rushed down the hillside, and shouted to the messenger: "Immediately order all the ministries to get on the boat and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Walk."

Lu Meng also went down the hillside, almost running towards the boat.

But in the wind and rain, the ship was extremely bumpy, and tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops were crowded. Even if they were well-trained on weekdays, how could they get on the ship as soon as possible in a short time?
Only less than [-] people went up in the front army, and Lu Meng just ran to his main ship and stood on the deck to watch.

The fleet that sailed into Yunmengze from the ditch had already appeared at the end of their field of vision, one after another, which made Lu Meng's mood sink to the bottom, and he kept ordering the messengers to sound the horn and beat the gongs and drums to prepare for the battle.

Soon as he continued to urge, many ships of the Jiangdong Army sailed out of the dock, and there were more than a dozen warships scattered, plus a hundred or so protruding, exposed, and walking ships, less than [-] people lined up.

However, when hundreds of warships appeared densely on the lake, the noisy Jiangdong Army fleet seemed to stop instantly.

Everyone was shocked to see the countless boats galloping towards them on the lake. Compared with them, the fleet of a hundred or so small and medium-sized boats that I hastily lined up was like a stone thrown into the sea, unable to turn over. A little spray.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Meng showed a wry smile on his pale face, and said, "It seems that not only is God not blessing Jiangdong, but Shen Chen has already been plotting against us, run away, run away!"

"escape!"

Lu Meng's main ship gave the order to flee.

The same is true for the main ship on Xu Sheng's side. He roared angrily on the ship: "Escape, how many ships can escape, withdraw to Xiakou immediately, and report to Marquis Wu."

"boom!"

Before the words were finished, there was a loud noise, and the first enemy ship had run over from a small bulging boat and came close to them.

On the deck of the ship stood a [-]-year-old veteran like an iron tower. He was majestic in the wind and rain, his bulging bronze muscles were exposed, his white beard fluttered in the wind, and he stared at the enemy ship with murderous eyes.

I, Huang Hansheng, today is the time to become famous all over the world!
Huang Zhong clenched the long knife in his hand, swung it forward, and shouted: "Order, surround the pier, and don't let a Jiangdong ship go!"

Reading book reviews is easy to make people's blood pressure high. I originally wrote a long paragraph to explain it, but after thinking about it, I finally decided to lay it flat. I deleted it without explaining it. I can only say that I can't understand the protagonist's strategy. .
