Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 469: It’s a dark night and the wind is high. Balls are flying all over the sky. Take all three cities!

I originally thought that the Han River was diverted to flood Fancheng, and that it was fighting fish and turtles in the water.

But who would have thought that suddenly the style of the painting would change and it would become justice falling from the sky and flying balls filling the sky.

At this moment, Fu Shiren's cheek muscles were tense, and his extremely shocked expression was mixed with a hint of confusion and disbelief. He gritted his teeth and said: "Third brother, third brother, you are cheating your own death...how many secrets are you hiding? ? We are brothers after all...you...you should tell me at least!"

"It's Yudi's fault..." Guan Lin didn't expect that when he saw the flying balls flying in the sky, Fu Shiren had such a big reaction that he even got slightly angry. "Brother, don't be dazed. The flying ball is in the sky... Even if you kill the enemy, doesn't someone have to cut off the enemy's head underground?"

Speaking of this, Guan Lin raised his green eyebrows, his face showing a clear arrogance, "Hurry up and order your troops... If it's too late, the credit will all go to the 'Pirate King' in the sky!"

The 'Pirate King' Guan Lin mentioned was a joke, but he was referring to the boss of the Jinfan Pirates - Gan Ning!
Four months ago, after Guan Lin rescued Gan Ning and his group of bandit brothers, Guan Lin had Gan Ning's army rush to Jiangling and enter the Mianshui Villa.

Then... after four months of training, these water thieves... suddenly became a "water, land and air" amphibious unit.

Now...they are in the midst of flying balls.

Listening to what Guan Lin said... Fu Shiren couldn't think about "One Piece" or "credit". He raised his eyes to the sky again, because the flying ball took off from Lu Ming, fifteen miles southeast of Xiangyang City. In the mountains, at the same time... After dusk, before night falls, you can still vaguely see the firelight on the countless flying balls.

Then they blocked out the sky and the sun, one after another flying into the sky.

This scene was so unfamiliar that even Fu Shiren, who had seen a flying ball take off, felt too shocked and unfamiliar when faced with hundreds of ships.

The ancients were often full of fear of unknown things. The more he looked, the more his face turned bloody.

When he got to the back... he felt that the flying balls flying over his head made his whole chest feel depressed, as if it was cramping. His breath was stagnant, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth with his sleeves and cough violently.

Guan Lin hurriedly came over and patted his back.

After coughing for a while, Fu Shiren finally calmed down his breath. He patted Guan Lin's hand comfortingly, then showed great surprise as always and said: "In the past... Huang Hansheng killed the enemy's head with one arrow on this flying ball. Today... Cough cough...cough cough...there are so many flying balls, how many arrows will be shot from the sky, who can stop them!"

just like…

With Fu Shiren's experience, he still couldn't understand Guan Lin's purpose of sending out the flying balls.

archery?

How is it possible to shoot an arrow?

Doesn't that mean this air supremacy is in vain?

Guan Lin also saw that this good big brother... was completely distracted.

Of course, at this time, Guan Lin couldn't afford to explain too much, since it would be meaningless to say it.

He put his hands behind his back to make a show of being mysterious, and then said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry about it. You are just one step away from becoming my uncle's brother who is closer than a real brother!"

As he spoke, Guan Lin pushed Fu Shiren as a joke, meaning to tell him to go quickly!
Following this move, Guan Lin's cheeks became completely serious.

Fu Shiren's heart was burning. He was shocked and even more eager to try.

"Then...then I'll go..."

As he spoke, he put his hand on the handle of the knife and hurriedly went down the tower. But when he reached the steps, he paused, as if he suddenly thought of something.

He turned around and asked: "Yun Qi, do you want to tell your father about this? But Mo Yao won the battle in the end, but he is still digging canals to divert water stupidly? Then... spread it out , isn’t it a big joke? Besides, with so much credit as you said, it doesn’t matter if you give your father a little bit..."

This…

Guan Lin was surprised. When did Fu Shiren's emotional intelligence become so high?
Sure enough... the human heart is made of flesh.

After becoming Liu Bei's fourth brother, didn't Fu Shiren's vision and structure... suddenly open up?

There is no shortage of merit, no complaints about the unfairness of fate, and even the merits have begun to be given away.

but…

Facing Fu Shiren's doubts, Guan Lin blinked and said firmly, "No, my father knows that I have come to Xiangyang, so he will be rushing here in a hurry. Besides...killing chickens..."

Guan Lin originally wanted to say that there is no need to use a bull's knife to kill a chicken.

But after thinking about it, I wonder if this is a bit slanderous to Fu Shiren, a good big brother.

Guan Lin is a careful person, so he quickly changed his words, "Wrong...I mean, my dad's place...I have other plans...Brother Fu, don't worry, I'm here to wish you success -"

Having said this, Fu Shiren did not hesitate any longer.

With the words "I'd like to lend you some good words", I hurried down the tower.

For a moment, Guan Lin and Shi Wu were the only two people left on the tower.

Shiwu was raising his eyes to look at the flying balls in the sky, and couldn't help but say: "The news from Mianshui Villa is that there are a total of [-] flying balls... Not to mention the power of these flying balls, the enemy has seen such a large number of flying balls. , I’m afraid I’ll be scared to death!”

"Uncle Shiwu..." Faced with Shiwu's emotion, Guan Lin replied, and then said lightly, "Maybe you are overthinking, Wei Jun... I'm afraid you don't have time to be frightened at all -"

Having said this, Guan Lin clasped his hands together and closed his eyes slightly, as if he had a premonition of what was about to happen tonight.

He subconsciously made a "worship to Buddha" gesture, and at the same time, he pondered in his heart.

——‘10 people! 』

——"10 people north of the Han River!" 』

A moment ago, he looked like a murderous demon king who ordered to kill with one glance...

The next moment, he began to worship Buddha devoutly.

As the saying goes, the more chaotic the place, the more chaotic the time, the more people who hold the power of life and death will have two faces!
It's time to make a desperate move!

...

...

Lumen Mountain.

This is the mountain where Pang Degong, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty, lived in seclusion;

This is the place where the famous poets Meng Haoran and Pi Rixiu of the Tang Dynasty lived in seclusion one after another...

I'm afraid the mountain people here would never have dreamed that...in the Tang Dynasty...the late Han Dynasty before the northern part of Lumen Mountain was designated as a "holy mountain", they would be the first to see such a magnificent scene.

Hot air balloons are rising in an orderly manner.

Here and there a raging flame broke out from a jar of kerosene.

In the middle of the night, the entire Lumen Mountain seemed to be roasted by the flames rising from the kerosene jar, so that it... shone like daylight.

In the sky...in the rattan baskets under the hot air balloons that had already taken off, the flying ball soldiers had already put on leather jackets and goggles.

Ever since Guan Lin told Jiang Qian the glass manufacturing process at Sifang Mountain in Anlu City, Jiangxia, the smelting workshop run by Jiang Qian quickly successfully produced glass.

From then on, items such as glass bottles and goggles can appear on the battlefield.

Goggles have become standard equipment for every flyball player.

One thousand two hundred flying balls were rising from Lumen Mountain one after another. The entire ground team of flying balls... were connected on the ground for more than ten miles, almost completely covering the entire Lumen Mountain!

And from the moment they took off, they headed all the way north and soared into the sky.

Gan Ning was the vanguard of this flying ball army, leading by example.

This is most in line with his character, taking the lead and rushing forward.

Although he had only undergone four months of training, both Gan Ning and his group of water thieves brothers had made rapid progress in aerial operations...

This is not surprising, water battles and land battles can be won, and aerial operations, although complicated, are... actually safe!
At this moment, Gan Ning was very familiar with this flying ball.

Of course, training is one thing, and actual combat is another.

Gan Ning was also drunk. He never thought in his life that he was proficient in all eighteen kinds of weapons and could be called a weapons master;

But in combat, he has also become a general who can command and fight "water, land, and air"...

This is a hexagonal warrior——

At this moment, Gan Ning stood up straight. He looked at Sun Jiao beside him and Su Fei, who was controlling the kerosene jar, and said, "How do you two feel in this sky?"

"Actually, we have flown more than a hundred times in the past four months." Su Fei said: "But now that we are in actual combat, it still feels unreal... You said, if we can all attack from the sky, then no matter how strong the city wall is, ?How can you guard it? Still guarding a caterpillar?"

"Yes..." Sun Jiao added: "I heard in the past that when the second general conquered Wancheng, an old general sat under this flying ball, bent his bow and arrow, and shot the man on the city with one arrow. Xiahou Mao shot and blinded Xiahou Dun, and then defeated the city in one battle... At that time, I was thinking, who would think of the sky these days? Who would think that... there are really magic weapons descended from the sky? The enemy... I'm afraid they won't be able to react, either. There’s no way to prepare!”

At this point, Gan Ningba pouted and said in deep thought: "In my opinion, Cao Cao and Cao Ren will probably be prepared! After all, Xiahou Mao's death will not be in vain, and Xiahou Dun will not be blind in vain!"

Gan Ning's words suddenly chilled the atmosphere here. Sun Jiao couldn't help but ask: "Then...brother Gan means that we will be exposed?"

"Ha ha…"

Following Sun Jiao's words, Su Fei smiled, and so did Gan Ning.

Speaking of which, Su Fei knew Gan Ning better. Similarly, he explained to Sun Jiao with a smile: "It's true that Cao Cao and Cao Ren will guard against the sky, but guarding is one thing, and being able to guard against it is another." It’s something.”

Speaking of this, Su Fei pointed to the kerosene jar he controlled, "Didn't you see that I am still heating up, so... the flying ball will fly higher and higher, and fly into the clouds. Once it reaches the clouds, , not to mention at night...even during the day...Wei Jun can't find it! This is where the flying ball is really powerful!"

"It will eventually land..." Sun Jiao continued. "Weren't you discovered when you landed?"

Gan Ning seemed to have expected this question. He smiled and pointed at the secret weapon in the rattan basket, and then spoke in a rather passionate and high-pitched voice: "By the time they find out... it will be too late. Their lives will be over." Just stay there!”

As he spoke, the flying ball had already flown into the clouds. Looking down from the sky, the huge Fancheng was just a dot.

Gan Ning issued an order at this time, "Send the signal with silk and satin, everything will go according to plan, the flying ball of the vanguard and the rest, the troops will be divided into three groups... An hour later, the three cities will attack together!"

Although in the sky, it was night again and the wind was extremely windy.

But Gan Ning's voice is still sonorous and powerful, making people feel passionate and excited just by hearing it!

...

...

An hour later.The soldiers and horses in Xiangyang were mobilized. Fu Shiren, Lu Xun, and Ling Tong each led a force and were waiting on the bank of the Han River, looking in the direction of Fancheng on the other side of the Han River.

On the other hand, Fancheng, which is separated from Xiangyang by a river, looks extremely peaceful.

But beneath this calmness, there is an undercurrent.

You know, in order to prevent tragedies such as Huang Zhong's shooting of Xia Houmao from happening again, Fancheng specially built several watchtowers.

As the saying goes...the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

In addition to Fancheng, many lookouts have been built in Pinglu City, Yancheng... and even Hekouchuan, Jiezhangang, Yujiagang and Tuanshanpu where Cao Ren dug the reservoir and diverted water into the reservoir!
These lookouts made Cao Ren feel at ease, and even more so Cao Cao... This is why Cao Cao and Cao Ren were sure that Guan Yu had not discovered their digging of reservoirs north of the Han River.

Except over Fancheng.

In other places, I never saw those flying balls at all!

Because of this, Cao Ren is quite proud now. Seeing the flood season coming in July, he only needs to wait until the water level rises and then dig the dam. The next step...is to witness the moment when the entire north and south of the Han River turn into a vast ocean.

And Fancheng, Pinglu City, Yancheng...

The city has already been wrapped with three layers of sandbags inside and three outside. Together with the countless ships and iron ropes connected together, it is enough to ensure that when the flood pours in, tens of thousands of Wei troops can hide in it. Safe and sound.

Everything seems to be developing according to the original plan.

It went very smoothly——

But no matter how smooth things go, we can’t be careless, let alone dare not be careless!

now…

Because the date of diversion and reverse irrigation is getting closer, the official offices in Xiangyang City are brightly lit.

Cao Ren still summoned Zhao Yan, Yan Zhen, and a group of cadres to discuss how to... take advantage of the inflow of the Han River to lead the water army across the river and counterattack Xiangyang City.

This is Cao Ren’s heart knot...

If we say that he lost Nanjun before, it can be said that he was careless and underestimated the enemy and fell into Zhou Yu's trick of cheating death.

But after leaving Xiangyang, Cao Ren fell into the death trap of the Guan family father and son again.

Not only was Xiangyang lost, Wancheng was also captured, leaving Cao Ren alone!

This series of defeats!
Although no one dared to use this to make fun of Cao Ren, Cao Ren felt bitter in his heart. He was a "Heavenly General" and he could not afford to lose this man. If Xiangyang City could not be captured, Wancheng would be the nail in the coffin. Can’t fall off…

Then Cao Ren was really shameless in the Wei Dynasty!
Therefore…

This time, Cao Ren was extremely serious. Even though the situation was under control, his face was always serious.

"Cough cough..."

After a slight cough, he asked Zhao Yan, "Are everything okay in Pinglu City, Yancheng, and Xinye City?"

"Safe and safe!" Zhao Yan replied: "General Xu Huang led [-] troops to garrison Pinglu City, and at the same time guarded the waterways in Hekou River, Jiezhangang, Yujiagang, and Tuanshanpu... According to General Cao's instructions, It is unusual to work day and night, especially on the observation deck, always paying attention to the sky... to ensure that the digging of the reservoir here is not discovered by Jingzhou. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Yan paused for a moment, "As for Yancheng... it is garrisoned by General Yin Shu. General Yin Shu has always been calm and has 1 troops in his hands, enough to rush to help at any time... As for Xinye City, it is still some distance away from Fan City, so only let General Niu Gai is stationed with [-] men. In these critical times, General Niu Gai has not sent a single soldier to transport military supplies. Everything is being prepared for the Han River to pour in... to counterattack Xiangyang!"

As Cao Ren's think tank, Zhao Yan can always analyze things in an orderly and logical manner, and is also very effective and reliable in internal affairs.

This is also one of the reasons that makes Cao Ren practical.

"So? The city's waterproofing? Mr. Yan... have you checked it again?"

Cao Ren brought the topic to Yan Zhen again.

Yan Zhen is a master of water conservancy. The waterproofing of Fancheng under his leadership is supposed to be foolproof, but it cannot be resisted... Cao Ren is concerned.

This is the sixth time he has asked in the past three days, and he has asked three times today alone.

certainly…

Yan Zhen is also a rigorous person. He can understand Cao Ren's pursuit of "foolproof" requirements.

Therefore, Yan Zhen still took the trouble to explain: "General Zixiao has given instructions many times. In addition to strengthening the walls and clearing the fields... to gather all the nearby Wei troops into the city, the great Wei Dynasty mobilized the whole country to assemble sandbags that are enough to protect the city from being invaded by the enemy." The water washed away..."

Speaking of this, Yan Zhen continued quite rigorously, "As for the city gate that is most likely to be washed away by the water flow, there... I have had people pile up five sandbags, each of which is as high as the city... There is also food. Fancheng has enough food and grass now. Even after diverting water, there is no chance to counterattack Xiangyang. If Fancheng defends itself, it will have enough food for a year. Everything is in order...General Zixiao, just relax!"

When it comes to relaxing, Yan Zhen never forgets to remind, "I have been watching the water flow for the past three or five days. This year's rain... is a little later than in previous years, but it doesn't matter. The reservoir is the one I made after careful calculations." Designed, I am sure...even if there is no heavy rain, the water level during the high water period alone is enough to realize our plan...General Zixiao must not forget what King Wei ordered, the agreement with Soochow to attack Jingzhou!"

After all, Yan Zhen is a minister of Wu State. Even if he temporarily commits himself to Cao Ying, his stance is still on Soochow's side.

Urgent...

Diversion of water into Xiangfan is a top priority;
But the attack on Jingzhou is related to the defeat of Soochow. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the hope of the whole village of Soochow... ah no, it is the hope of the whole country of Soochow!

Yan Zhen...is the hope of many Wu people——

Faced with Yan Zhen's serious question.

"Don't worry..." Cao Ren responded to Yan Zhen solemnly, "Mr. Yan is very kind to me, the Wei Dynasty. How could I, Cao Ren, forget the agreement with Soochow to attack Jingzhou! Mr. Yan, do you know that I How much does the general want to capture that Guan Yu? How much does he want to attack Xiangyang!"

Cao Ren's words... already sounded a bit sincere.

But at this moment...

A guard of Cao Ren hurried in from outside, "The enemy is attacking... The enemy is attacking... Xiangyang has sent out many troops and horses. They are stationed on the bank of the Han River, intending... intending to cross the river... afraid... afraid of attacking the city!"

After hearing this...Cao Ren was stunned!
Yan Zhen's meticulous analysis of water flow, defense, and waterproofing also came to an abrupt end.

General Cao Wei in the entire official office looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little confused.

Obviously according to the plan of the Guan family father and son, they should wait a few more days, then dig and release water, and divert the water back into Fancheng. Even... Wei Jun had already prepared the appropriate countermeasures.

In the past four months, the entire Wei Dynasty has gathered its strength to prepare for this day!
Can…

But...why didn't the flood come? Why did Jingzhou suddenly send troops to the Han River to attack the city?

This…

This doesn’t follow the routine at all!
So...the question is?Faced with such an emergency, how should Cao Wei respond?
"General Zixiao, there is no need to be too nervous. The flood is coming, and the Jingzhou Army's attack at this time is a sure way to death..." Zhao Yan analyzed carefully, "What's more, with the strong walls and clear fields, they can't get anything... The general only needs It will take three or five days! Of course I..."

Before Zhao Yan could finish speaking...

"Go to the city -" Cao Ren ordered.

Facing this pair of Guan family father and son, he already felt a little disdainful.

He didn't dare and allowed himself to make any mistakes!
seeing is believing!
Soon...

Cao Ren arrived at the city with Zhao Yan, Yan Zhen, and a group of generals.

Zhao Yan looked at Chen Bing's Jingzhou soldiers and horses on the other side of the Han River. He smiled, "It's just a bluff. Its purpose... is probably to hide the fact that Guan Yu dug channels and dug out reservoirs. It's just these... Haha, we have already I know, and I’ve been prepared for it!”

Indeed...as Zhao Yan said.

The Jingzhou Army was just standing on the bank of the river, pretending to be eager to cross the river.

But...they didn't cross the river.

Cao Ren squinted his eyes. While he was looking at these Jingzhou soldiers, he was thinking about Zhao Yan's words...

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"wrong…"

Cao Ren exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yan asked quickly.

Cao Ren's expression suddenly turned white, and his tone became low and thick, "I thought of the Battle of Yanjin before Guandu in the past!"

what…

Zhao Yan was shocked. The battle at "Yanjin" was the battle where Guan Yu killed Yan Liang, and it was the battle where Guan Yu was granted the title of Marquis Shouting of the Han Dynasty.

Not only Zhao Yan, but also Yan Zhen, a native of Pengcheng, is no stranger.

Cao Ren's words continued, "The reason why that battle was won was not because Guan Yu was brave and the ten thousand troops took the lead...The fundamental reason why that battle was won was because of Xun You's plan..."

Cao Ren recounted in detail, "Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang across the river to attack Yanjin, and Xun You came up with a plan to 'attack the east and attack the west'. So... the king clearly arranged his troops by the river, shouting that he was going to attack Yuan Shao's base camp and attack the enemy's rear. Fang, but secretly, he sent Guan Yu and Zhang Liao to attack Yan Liang with their elite troops... In this way, Yuan Shao was afraid of the king's surprise attack and did not dare to send more troops to support Yan Liang. The king also sent troops to shout at the river bank, as if he was about to attack. We must attack it!"

"In the end, Xun You deceived Yuan Shao with this plan, and Guan Yu and Zhang Liao led superior legions to support Yanjin. Only then did Guan Yu's army take the lead... Only then did Yanjin win a great victory!"

Speaking of which...

Cao Ren suddenly fell silent.

But both Zhao Yan and Yan Zhen understood...

What Cao Ren means is that today's Jingzhou is following Xun You's plan in the past, and is trying to attack the east and attack the west...

So?Here... "Shengdong" is the bank of the Han River from Jingzhou Bingchen Chen Bing!
What is "hit the west"?

For a time, such questions filled everyone's mind...

Almost at this moment...

Cao Ren suddenly felt that the youthful beauty projected by the moon suddenly disappeared, replaced by a huge shadow, and then... the shadow became bigger and bigger, confiscating all the remaining moonlight!
This sudden change of light and shadow also made Shi Yiyuan and Yan Zhen startled.

Yan Zhen subconsciously raised his head to observe this strange and strange phenomenon...

But just when he raised his head, he saw a large area in the sky, with countless huge flying balls... slowly flying, flying and landing at the same time. The sight that covered the sky and the sun... was like... like... the end of the world!
...
