Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 360 Flooded Xiliang Army

At this moment, not far away suddenly a fast horse rushed over like a whirlwind.

"Report-"

The scout spies rushed forward, and before they could catch their breath, they shouted loudly: "My lord, our scouts broke through Cao Jun's blockade, explored the river downstream of the river, and found that the river was forcibly blocked five miles downstream..."

"not good!"

Before the scout spies could finish speaking, Jia Xu's face changed suddenly.

Luo Zheng, Fazheng, Chengying and others also changed their faces instantly, and they all realized that it was not good.

Jia Xu said anxiously: "My lord, please quickly order the army to withdraw from Sishuisi."

"Hahaha!"

Guo Jia suddenly became mad, "I just thought of it at this time, it's too late!"

As soon as his words fell, he heard a huge rumbling sound from the northeast direction of Sishui Pass.

Luo Zheng's face instantly turned ashen, his eyes were murderous, and he stared at Guo Jia.

Fazheng said anxiously: "My lord, please quickly order the army to choose a high place to avoid the flood!"

Knowing that the situation was critical, Luo Zheng immediately ordered, "Quickly retreat to the high ground, and the army that has already entered the city climbs the city wall!"

"As ordered!"

Dozens of cavalry messengers responded with a clang, hurriedly urged the horses to leave, and sent the order.

"go!"

Luo Zheng didn't talk nonsense anymore, waved his hand, and rushed away first.

Jia Xu, Fazheng, Chengying and others hurriedly urged their horses to follow.

The [-] cavalry did not enter the city. They had just set up camp and had not had time to unload their armor. After receiving the military order, they didn't even care about their luggage. They got on their horses and rushed out of the camp. rushed into the night.

The huge rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and the animals were already restless.

There was chaos in Sishui Pass, and after Gao Shun received the military order, he could no longer calm down.

"Quick, climb up the city wall!"

Gao Shun galloped back and forth on the street, shouting loudly.

Fortunately, although the Xiliang army panicked, they were not in a hurry. Under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, they climbed up the city wall one by one.As for the captives of the Cao army in the city and the wipes of the heavy food, there is no need to care about it at this time, and life-saving is the most important thing.

A huge rumbling sound approached quickly, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was collapsing, and no other sounds could be heard anymore.

In the dark night, the sight is blocked, and everyone can't be at peace when encountering such a thing.

The animals in the city rioted completely first. Even the Xiliang army who dared to charge towards the frenzied head, could not help but panic in the face of this huge natural power. The soldiers who had not climbed the city wall had already started pushing and shoving.

By this time, everyone understood what had happened.

Such a huge movement, except for floods and natural disasters, there is no other force that can cause such a big movement.

Amidst the shocking crash, the rushing flood finally rushed over, and the huge wave smashed hard on the wall. A short section of the decayed city wall was directly knocked down by the huge wave, and the Xiliang soldiers standing on it were instantly crushed. The flood swallowed mercilessly.

Amidst the shrill howls and screams one after another, the flood rushed past and poured directly into the city.

The soldiers engulfed by the flood did not die for the time being, and all were struggling. However, their bones were broken and their tendons were broken soon by the huge rocks and rotten trees engulfed by the flood. They were even drowned alive. Although the soldiers who climbed the city wall temporarily avoided He was robbed, but he was also shocked.

On a small hill five miles west of Sishuiguan, Luo Zheng had just rushed to the high ground, and the flood had already rushed to it.

In the chaos, [-] cavalry had already dispersed.

Only the three thousand wolf riders were still guarding them, and Jia Xu, Fazheng and others were also there.

Luo Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. It's just nightfall now, and I don't know what happened to the [-] army. How many people have escaped the flood, and there is nothing they can do to gather soldiers and horses. They can only wait until dawn.

"My lord, sit here!"

Xu Chu took a leather jacket, spread it out on the ground, and asked Luo Zheng to sit down.

The luggage tent and so on have been lost long ago, and I don’t know where it was washed away by the flood at the moment. This leather jacket was still taken by Xu Chu when he was leaving, so he could only lay it on the ground and let Luo Zheng sit.

"Wen He, Xiao Zhi, Gong Ying, you two come here too!"

Luo Zheng sat down cross-legged, and patted his side to let Jia Xu and Fazheng come and sit.

Jia Xu is old and can't bear the pain of running around, but fortunately, the old fox has no disease and is still in good health.Chengying is not young anymore, she had a serious illness a year ago and almost didn't survive it.

Fazheng is in the prime of life, but after all, he is inferior to the soldiers who fight and fight.

The three of them declined a few words, then sat next to Luo Zheng and squeezed on the leather jacket.

"Hey!"

Luo Zheng sighed and said: "Thousands of precautions, but still can't prevent it. I fell into Guo Jia's trick, and I don't know if the army escaped the flood. What happened to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Yan Xing and others, the army can still be left Next geometry."

Jia Xu blamed himself: "As a military adviser, Xu failed to warn the lord in advance, it is really a crime to escape!"

Fazheng also quickly blamed himself and took the initiative to take responsibility for the crime.

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Okay, you two don't rush to plead guilty, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and it is not wrong to fall into the hands of Guo Guicai. Even if you lose [-] troops, you can rest for seven or eight years at most. will recover."

Fazheng said: "Our army has been guarding against Cao Jun's digging of the embankment, but we have been watching the upper reaches of the river. I didn't expect Guo Jia to intercept the water from the lower reaches, so that we made a mistake. As the saying goes, eating a pad will make you wiser. You must keep this lesson in mind!"

Jia Xu said: "I won't talk about these things. The most important thing now is that there are only [-] Cao troops at Sishui Pass, and the main force of Xia Houyuan's Cao army has not yet appeared. Now the vicinity of Sishui Pass has become part of Ze State, and our army hastily lost it." There is a lot of food and fodder, and General Gan Ning's navy is blocked by Cao Jun at the Pingjin Ferry, so if they are surrounded by Xia Houyuan's main force, the situation will be in danger!"

Luo Zheng's eyebrows twisted into the word 'Chuan', and his face became very ugly.

Fazheng, Chengying and the others were also in a heavy mood, and they all had a bad feeling.

But right now, it's late at night, and I can't do anything, I can only talk about it after dawn.

In the middle of the night, the roar of the flood had subsided, but the hills had not calmed down. The restless long neighing and snorting of the war horses sounded from time to time, and the noisy soldiers who took turns to rest couldn't sleep.

Luo Zheng only slept for more than an hour, and it was dawn.

As far as the eye can see, there is a land of swamps. Because the embankment was dug up, although the flood is no longer as violent as it was at the beginning, it still pours back near Sishuiguan because Cao Jun built a dam to intercept the flow.

The hills of different heights were crowded with cavalry from Xiliang.

At the head of the Sishuiguan city, the Xiliang soldiers were crowded with people, and there was almost no place to stay. The flood flooded in spread over half of the city wall. Still screaming for help.

The soldiers all looked terrified. Although they hadn't slept all night, they didn't feel sleepy at all.

Only the hungry croaked, but the food, fodder and luggage had been washed away by the flood long ago, and many soldiers even lost their weapons. At this time, there was no water to drink, and there was nowhere else to eat hot food.

Luo Zheng couldn't see the situation of Sishuiguan, he could only see the situation on the nearby hills.

The densely packed Xiliang cavalry huddled together, and many of them stood in the mud halfway up the mountain. After the flood receded a little, some cavalrymen who had been washed away by the water led their horses, with one foot high and the other low, strenuously heading up the mountain. climb.

Jia Xu took a glance and said, "My lord, the casualties of the cavalry are not serious."

Luo Zheng nodded, the cavalry ran in time, except for the one that was particularly unlucky when the flood just rushed over, and the casualties were not very large after being washed away by the flood, only all the food and supplies were lost.

Although the loss is not small, as long as the cavalry casualties are not large, the loss of some food, fodder and supplies can still be borne.

"Order all the ministries to gather troops and horses to prevent Cao Jun from taking advantage of the situation to make a surprise attack."

Luo Zheng ordered decisively that Xia Houyuan's main force has not yet appeared, so he cannot relax at this time.

"As ordered!"

The commander hurriedly responded to the order and passed down the military order with flag language.

On several nearby hills, seeing the semaphore order from the Chinese army, they immediately began to gather soldiers and horses.

On a mountain top two miles away, Yan Xing also saw the flag order of the Chinese Army, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, put his heart that had been hanging back in his stomach, wiped off his cold sweat and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my lord is fine." .”

The surrounding area is full of Ze Kingdom, and at this time, the army has no way to gather, nor can it leave.

The cavalry trapped on the top of the hill can only wait hungry, which can be said to be very passive.

The Xiliang army trapped at the head of Sishuiguan was also waiting, waiting for Gan Ning's navy to come.

When the sun rose, there were many ships of different sizes in the distance. When we got closer, we saw that Cao Jun was on board all these fishing boats. The largest boat was Xiahou Yuan's flag.

No matter whether it is the cavalry crowded on the dirt hill or the infantry crowded at the head of the Sishuiguan city, they are all discolored.

The appearance of Xia Houyuan's main force at this time is really terrible.

"My lord, the main force of Cao's army is here!"

Jia Xu glanced at it, and said to Luo Zheng with a solemn expression.

Luo Zheng nodded with an ugly face, and glanced at Guo Jia next to him, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

When Guo Jia knew it, he didn't care about life and death at all, and smiled: "Luo Zheng, your death is here!"

Luo Zheng calmed down in an instant, and said in a dark voice: "Good means, good means! It is worthy of being a genius Guo, who did not hesitate to set up such a poisonous scheme at the risk of his own life. If it was not for catching you, how could this general be negligent in guarding against it! "

"The general's reputation is too high, I'm ashamed of it!"

Guo Jia smiled heartily, "If I can pull the prestigious Luo Shengping on my back, I will be content to die!"

Luo Zheng stared at Guo Jia for a while, then waved his hand, "Pull it down, cut it off!"

Two wolves and tigers from Xiliang had rushed over, picked up Guo Jia and left.

Guo Jia laughed three times, and said loudly: "My lord, Jia has completed her mission, and she is worthy of this life!"

Luo Zheng's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and Jia Xu, Fazheng and others were also extremely heavy.
