I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 470: Navy Victory

Sitting in Yuancheng, the spring rain continues.

In recent days, with the arrival of spring, the ice and snow have melted, spring rains have fallen in the Northeast, and the rivers have risen.

As a group of fortresses built on the river defense line, this should have been the best reliance of the Goguryeo people.

However, Su Yao's breach in the upstream directly caused a huge wave here.

The first to be harmed was the fortress located in the low-lying area at the mouth of the river.

They were either destroyed by floods or simply submerged by the high water flow.

The fate of the forts in flat areas was not much better.

Under the impact of the torrent, their sturdy wooden forts were as vulnerable as paper. The flood raged like a ferocious beast, swallowing them one by one.

A few rammed earth city walls also suffered varying degrees of structural damage and destruction in the subsequent floods, and lost their city defense capabilities.

The fortress defense line that Goguryeo had painstakingly built up over decades collapsed immediately under Su Yao's water attack. Only the Zuoyuan City was spared from this disaster because of its slightly higher terrain and stone walls.

But even so, the flood, fueled by the rainfall, still destroyed the city gates and spread into the city, with most of the city being submerged in water.

As soon as the raging torrent broke through the city gate, the Goguryeo people in the city were instantly terrified. They fled in all directions, crying and wailing loudly, and countless people went with the waves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ming Lin Youji and the surviving soldiers and civilians climbed onto the roofs and city walls and finally escaped.

But seeing the tragic scene in the city, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and cry:
"God has doomed me! God has doomed me!"

Minglin Youji was in tears.

He never imagined that the battle he had won with such an ease would be suddenly taken over by this water dragon.

Even if the flood receded after some time, how could he fight against the Han army with his city gates wide open and his soldiers badly injured?

"Don't cry, General - this is a natural disaster."

"If we suffer, the Han army will not suffer either."

"Our camp outside the city was washed away, and the Han army on the opposite side might have been wiped out."

"In this way, our victory will at most turn from a big victory to a tragic victory, but we will still win!"

When Minglin Youji heard this, he thought about it and made sense, so he wiped his tears, sobbed a few times, and looked towards the southwest in a daze.

It would be fine if you didn't look at it, but once you do, you'll feel like you've been struck by lightning.

On the western city wall, some strange figures suddenly appeared. They attacked anyone they saw, very ferociously.

At the broken west gate, there were small boats and war rafts coming along with flags waving and shouting.

The leader, wearing a green robe and a green scarf, holding a green dragon sword, with a face as red as a date, is he not the Han general Guan Yu who had challenged them before?

"This, this, this"

"Han army, the Han army is coming!"

"How come these Han troops have ships!!!"

The Goguryeo soldiers and civilians in the city shouted in panic, their eyes full of despair.

Floods raged, the city gates were broken, and the Han army, which they thought was far away from the battlefield, appeared before them at this critical moment like a god descending from the sky.

"God has doomed me, God has doomed me!"

Minglin Youji burst into tears and wanted to surrender immediately.

However, a young general beside him, Suoha, grabbed him and said:
"Don't panic, General!"

"The Han army consists of small boats. The wind and waves are strong and it is dangerous to sail. We are high up on the city walls and the eaves of the houses. Our position is stable."

"As long as we hold our ground and fight bravely, we may be able to repel the Han army."

"Attack, repel???"

Minglin Youji was full of disbelief. He didn't expect that this young general would have such a bold idea.

However, he had to admit that there was some truth to this statement.

So he immediately shouted loudly, asking the soldiers in the city to resist bravely: "Pick up your weapons and kill all these Han people!"

"Take their ship!"

These small boats and war rafts were sent deep into the city alone. As long as they captured them, they would have the capital to transfer and counterattack.

At the very least, if he could grab a boat, he would have a chance to escape.

However, Guan Yu did not give him any chance at all:

"Attack the city, attack the city!"

At Guan Yu's command, the Han soldiers responded one after another. They paddled their boats and rafts hard and quickly rushed into the city.

However, they did not attack the enemy troops standing on houses and other high ground, preparing to desperately grab the boats, but directly targeted the city walls, attacking from both sides.

Attack from both sides, that's right.

As the water level rose, the Han army outside the city only needed to throw up flying claws high into the air to quickly build a rope ladder to attack the city.

Inside the city, Guan Yu led his men to attack from the main gate and launch an attack from both inside and outside.

"kill!"

When the boat approached the gate tower, Guan Yu roared and led his men up the stairs.

The flashes of swords and sabers were everywhere, and the city walls were swept across in an instant like chopping melons and vegetables.

Under this desperate attack, the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall knelt down and begged for surrender.

After successfully capturing the city wall, the Han army occupied the high ground. From their high ground, they began to kill the soldiers taking refuge in the houses in the city and cover the advance of the small boats.

"Spare your life, spare your life."

"I can't beat him. There's no way to beat him!"

With the surrender of the Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall, Zawon Castle, which had lost the protection of its high point, was like a turtle caught in a jar.

Seeing this, Guan Yu struck while the iron was hot and shouted to the entire army to speed up the attack. They must control the entire city in the shortest time possible and capture this most important fortress on the way forward.

"Pass the order down. All soldiers must not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Only target the enemies who resist."

"At the same time, everyone should pay attention and rescue every place you capture. For those trapped people, make sure they are safely evacuated to higher ground."

"My subordinates have the order!"

Siege does not mean massacre. After seeing that he had captured the commanding heights and was sure of victory, Guan Yu naturally would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but would extend a helping hand to rescue them.

The Han army soldiers advanced smoothly all the way, speaking the Goguryeo language they had urgently learned before, shouting the clumsy phrase "surrender and no death".

After witnessing the discipline and kindness of the Han army, many Goguryeo soldiers and civilians in the city began to lay down their arms and choose to surrender.

Some of them even took the initiative to help the Han army maintain order and rescue their trapped compatriots.

Ming Lin Youji stood on the high roof of the city defense mansion, looking at several small boats of the Han army coming over, shaking his head helplessly, and ordered the guards from a distance to raise their hands and shout that they were willing to surrender.

Immediately, the Han army soldiers came over, picked up the ropes, and were about to tie up those who surrendered with a smile on their faces.

They all noticed that not only was the terrain here the highest, but also that all the people here were dressed in brightly colored armor, and they were obviously high-ranking officials.

However, who would have thought that just after they had tied up a few people, a young military officer suddenly attacked and injured people!

When the Han army came to tie them up happily, Suoha Ya and several of his personal soldiers suddenly took action, catching these Han soldiers who had been going smoothly by surprise.

In an instant, several soldiers were either stabbed and fell to the ground, or pushed into the water.

After Suoha succeeded in his move, he did not want to fight any more. He jumped onto the boat, grabbed the oars and took the boat away.

The boss Ming Lin Youji, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned.

It was not until the Han soldiers angrily pinned him to the ground and dragged him onto the boat that he began to howl:
"Soha, you are such a heartless person!"

"I've treated you well, why didn't you take me with you when you ran away!!!"
