The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1316 Flooded Liaojiawa

The sudden surge of floods quickly submerged the Han army's position. Because Liaojiawa was low-lying, after the flood flooded in, Liaojiawa quickly became a vast ocean with a depth of several feet, and the deepest part could completely disappear. Extraordinary.

The Han army who had been fighting for several days was already extremely exhausted. After camping at night, except for the security troops, the rest fell asleep.

In order to prevent the Wu army from stealing the camp and robbing the village, Hu Ji arranged enough men and horses to serve as guard patrols. Once there is any disturbance, these patrol men and horses are the first line of defense of the Han army. Above is a luxury.

But these people who were patrolling outside the camp never expected that it was not the Wu army's soldiers and horses that attacked, but the monstrous flood.If it is Wu's soldiers and horses, no matter how many there are, the Han army can resist one or two, but how can they stop the flood that comes like a mountain tsunami?
The mighty flood swept everything along the way with unstoppable power. Those Han soldiers who were guarding the periphery ran fast and were lucky enough to survive, while those who escaped slowly were swept in by the flood. The body was nowhere to be found either.

The patrol whistle of the Han army quickly issued a warning whistle. The Han army in the camp heard it and thought it was an attack from the Wu army. They ran out of the camp and prepared to meet the enemy, but what was waiting for them was Huan Xiao. coming flood.

In the face of the power of nature, no matter how many people there are, they are like ants. The Han army could not reach the flood at all, and there was no other way except to scatter and run for their lives.

But Liaoerwa is a lowland, and the flood is rushing in at an astonishing speed. It is not an easy task for the Han army to escape. In the darkness, the Han army is like a headless fly, slamming around , Such an escape was meaningless, and many people lost their lives in the waves of the flood.

Most of the Han army is from the north, and they don't know how to swim. Once they fall into the water, they will almost certainly die.

Hu Ji was awakened by the sound of the flood. He was lying with his armor at first, but when he heard the loud noise, he immediately turned over and ran out of the tent, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Hu Ji's Chinese army tent can be regarded as the commanding height of the whole camp, but just after Hu Ji left the camp, the floodwater had already submerged his calves, and the entire Han army camp had already become a country of water and water. In the darkness, countless Han soldiers The soldiers struggled in the water and called for help, and the whole camp was in a mess.

Hu Ji's eyes straightened immediately, and he was completely stunned. These days, he has been emphasizing on attacking and attacking, and trying to push the battle line further towards Xiling.When fighting during the day and camping at night, Hu Ji was also always on guard against the sneak attack methods of the Wu people, because he knew that the more tired he was, the easier it was for the enemy to attack him.

But Hu Ji defended day and night, but in the end he still couldn't defend against it, but it was not Wu's troops that attacked, but a monstrous flood.

Of course, Hu Ji would not think that the flood came by himself, it must have been done by the Wu people, but he was not aware of it for a while, and fell into an ambush by the Wu people.

Water attack is a common tactic used by military strategists. Let’s just say that during the period of the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army in Fancheng and captured Pang De, who was famous in China.

However, the conditions required for water attack are relatively strict, and the right time and place are also indispensable. The Xiling area is mountainous, and most of the areas that the Han army passed through are relatively high mountains. With such terrain, there is no condition for water attack. That's why Hu Ji was a little negligent, and didn't take Wu Jun's possible water attack to heart.

On the other hand, Zhou Chu made careful calculations. On the way from Linju south to Xiling, there are several low-lying areas, among which Liaojiawa is the most suitable for water attack. Water barriers were built in the upper reaches of the water. When the Han army attacked Liaojiawa, they broke the dam overnight and let the water flood it.

Now it is the autumn flood season, and the continuous rain has caused the water level of the river to rise sharply. After the breach, the flood is raging and unstoppable.

Zhou Chu has already made preparations, and now Wu Jun has basically retreated to the high ground, so that he will not be troubled by the flood. In addition, Zhou Chu has already arranged a lot of small boats. When the flood hits, Wu soldiers from all walks of life will Taking advantage of the boat, he launched an attack on the Han army besieged by the flood.

Hu Ji ordered the Han army to move to the high ground. In the waist-deep flood, the Han army was in a mess and struggled to move forward.

Wu Jun's boat was like a fish in water, advancing briskly in the flood. Those who were far away used arrows, and those who were near used knives and guns. Wu Jun was in the water and launched a massacre against the Han army who had no resistance. The Han soldiers were completely slaughtered, and the blood stained the water surface red. The corpses of the Han soldiers floated around with the current, and sometimes even blocked the waterway.

This unilateral hunt lasted until dawn. After dawn, the Han soldiers who could escape to higher ground were considered to have temporarily escaped their lives. As for the Han soldiers who were still struggling in the water, it was a complete tragedy. Wu soldiers cruised back and forth on the water in boats, beheading and killing all the Han soldiers stranded in the water.

Hu Ji escaped from Liaojiawa with a small number of troops by chance. When he climbed up and looked back, Liaojiawa had become a vast ocean, and he did not know how many Han soldiers died in this vast ocean.

I think back when Hu Ji sent troops back then, he was smug and full of ambition, but at this moment, the dry land was in a state of desolation, just overnight, fifty thousand Han troops disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world. After such a disastrous defeat, Hu Ji seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his heart was ashamed.

"General, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, let's go quickly, maybe the Wu people will come after us soon." The soldiers around him persuaded him.

Hu Ji let out a long sigh, drew his sword and said, "What face do I have now to go back to see His Majesty? I have owed the grace of God, and the only way to apologise is to die!"

The people around were horrified, and urged them urgently: "Winning or losing is a common thing. The general can still regroup his army when he returns to Xiangyang. It is not too late to fight Xiling again. The general must not commit suicide."

Hu Ji is right to think about it. Now Ji Han is no longer the Shu Han of the past. Even if he loses 5 horses, it will not hurt his muscles and bones. Look north and flee.

But just after walking for more than ten miles, he heard the sound of killing behind him. Zhou Chu personally led an army to pursue him. Don't give me Hu Ji!"
