The last three kingdoms

Chapter 906 Flooded Xindu

mortal general.The smug Liu Yuan was also stunned in front of the torrential flood.

After a month of continuous fighting, Liu Yuan, who had been repeatedly defeated and defeated, suddenly saw hope. The defense line of the Iron Triangle was indeed well-deserved. It is extremely beneficial for Liu Yuan to delay.

The Shu army and the Jin army are far away, and the continuous fighting will inevitably make their logistics tight. As long as the Huns stick to it and endure until winter, they can see hope in this war.

But the sudden flood caught Liu Yuan by surprise, like a basin of cold water poured on Liu Yuan's fiery head, cooling Liu Yuan's heart.

Originally it was just raining, but Liu Yuan didn't take it to heart. Extremes will reverse things, and prolonged droughts will lead to waterlogging. This is just common sense, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. The city is full of waist-deep water everywhere, and it has become a water town of Zeguo.

For this point, Liu Yuan really has no temper. When he considered Xindu as the core of defense, the most important thing was that Xindu was the city of Jizhou, as the center of Jizhou. Can be picky.

But Liu Yuan ignored the most important point, that is, Xindu is low-lying and is extremely vulnerable to waterlogging, and now it seems that this is undoubtedly fatal.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful Liu Yuan is, he is still powerless to compete with nature. He can only make mistakes and secretly pray that the rainstorm will stop soon.

Although the rain stopped, the flood that besieged Xindu continued unabated. Inside and outside the city, everything became a vast ocean. Standing on the originally tall city wall of Xindu, it is now only a few feet away from the water. In the meantime, the white waves were surging, and countless Xiongnu soldiers were ups and downs in the waves, drifting with the waves, and they couldn't tell whether they were corpses or living people.

In Xindu City, except for a few high-rise buildings, all the street houses were submerged in the water. The Xiongnu army had no choice but to stay on the city wall. It is overcrowded at the moment.

"What's the matter, the rain has stopped, why does the flood continue to rise unabated?" Liu Yuan asked a little puzzled.

Someone immediately reported: "My Majesty, the people of Shu dug two rivers of Zhangshui and Qingshui and diverted them to irrigate them. As a result, the floods continued to increase."

Liu Yuan's heart tightened, and he said, "Where is King Zuoxian? Where are the troops of Fuliu, Zaoqiang, and Nangong?"

"I just received a report that Zuoxian King Fuliu was besieged by floods and unfortunately died. The entire army was wiped out with more than [-] men and horses under him. Tens of thousands of Zaoqiang defenders drowned. Besieged by the Jin people, Ma Jing and Hu Yanyou were defeated and had no way to retreat, so they led [-] troops to Jin."

Due to the low terrain of Fuliu and Liu Xuan's dogma, the [-] cavalry stationed in Fuliu were completely wiped out, and Liu Xuan himself was drowned by the flood.

The situation in Zaoqiang was not too bad. After the Shu army dug Qinghe, the flood quickly submerged Zaoqiang. Although the garrison withdrew quickly, it also paid the price of more than 1 casualties.

As for the Nangong garrison, due to the high terrain of Nangong and the upper reaches of Xindu, after the flood, this place became the place where the Huns fled. About [-] Xiongnu soldiers and horses gathered. In addition, there are people who escaped from Zaoqiang and Xindu.

However, although Nangong was not flooded, it became the target of Yang Hu's attack.

Yang Hu didn't know at the beginning that Liu Yin would take advantage of the heavy rain and the river's surge to dig the Zhanghe and Qinghe rivers to flood Xindu. A storm was carried out.

For more than a month, the Jin army has attacked Nangong countless times, but has not been able to make a breakthrough.This time, taking advantage of the great flood, the Jin army waded forward. The Huns were in chaos and were defeated. The leading generals Ma Jing and Hu Yanyou wanted to retreat, but they were blocked by the flood.

Liu Yuan was silent when he heard about it, Ma Jing and Hu Yanyou were forced to surrender by the situation, it was also a helpless move, Liu Yuan couldn't ask the crime again, not to mention that Ma Jing and Hu Yanyou had surrendered to the enemy, even if Liu Yuan wanted to ask the crime, it was nothing .

What saddened Liu Yuan the most was the death of his cousin Liu Xuan, which made Liu Yuan feel as if he had lost his arm.Liu Xuan has outstanding abilities. Among the generals of the Xiongnu, he is rarely able to stand alone. He has been fighting against Jin and Shu in Jizhou for three years, and he has not been at a disadvantage. Unexpectedly, today it is a black-haired man sending a white-haired man. Let Liu Yuan Very sad and regretful.

At this point in the battle, Liu Yuan was already powerless. This heavy rain not only destroyed the defense system of the Iron Triangle outside the Huns, but also completely destroyed Liu Yuan's confidence.

In this war, he finally failed. Liu Yuan was not defeated by the Jin army, nor was he defeated by the Shu army, but he was defeated by a heavy rain unbelievably. The city of Xindu was flooded to half the wall, but everyone knew that the Huns were at the end of their rope, and they were not too far away from failure.

Now Xindu City has been abandoned, and most of the city has sunk into the water. The only thing Liu Yuan can hold is this half of the city wall.

As for whether the last position will also fall, Liu Yuan is not very worried. The predicament suffered by both sides is the same when the flood sieges the city. If the Shu army wants to attack again, they must wait until the flood recedes. Method.

As for the capital city of Xin, whether to stay or leave is the difficult problem that Liu Yuan needs to consider. Xindu has become a lonely city, and it is meaningless to keep it going any longer.

But the key point is that if you give up Xinducheng, what will be your next step will be another great test for Liu Yuan. The sky and the earth are big, where can we settle down?

Where the water and sky were vast, countless ships suddenly poured out. Although they were not the warships used by the navy, they were just ordinary fishing boats, but when there were enough numbers, they could still make up for the disadvantage of small boats.

Boat?Liu Yuan suddenly had a chill in his heart, and he realized that the Shu army still wanted to eat him in one go. Although he didn't know how powerful the Shu army was after boarding the ship, the city walls of Xindu were overcrowded and crowded. It is said that it is a battle, and it is very difficult to even turn around. This kind of defensive form is extremely bad. It does not mean that there must be an advantage in having a large number of people. In this case, the Huns are in a difficult situation.
