Chapter nine hundred and eighty sixth retreat
Man Chong's judgment is correct.
Yesterday's heavy rain started from the deep mountains in the northwest direction, and then covered the vast area of Jingxiang. The Qingshui basin from north to around Nanyang was also affected.
Under the heavy rainstorm, all the turbulent water, Bishui, Oshui, Bishui, etc. surged. The countless ditches and lakes along these rivers were also filled in an instant. Dozens of artificially built dams had previously been filled with water to flood the enemy. This heavy rain was like the last grass that overwhelmed the camel, and it made Cao troops everywhere complain in a short time.
Before the rain reached its peak, many dams were shaking.
At this time, there was no need for Cao Xiu to send people to send orders to the direction of Nanyang or Lumen Mountain. The Cao army soldiers stationed in various dams were sitting there stupidly watching the dam? Even ants were alive, let alone people.
Only overnight, the water was like fire, as if a spark fell into dry firewood, causing a chain reaction. Late at night, it was unknown which Cao army stationed on the pond and dams first acted, and it was unknown which dam was the first to burst and drain water.
Once the water is released upstream, the momentum of pushing the Huai River and turbulence will be further accelerated.
Just on the Jiliuyan downstream of the Bingshui River, Deng Fan stared at the surging water in amazement.
The section north of Juliuyan has completely collapsed.
This location is the way for Cao's army to run and go. There were two viewing buildings in this section of the camp. Later, in order to delay the Cao's army's army, the soldiers in the camp had time to prepare, several staggered horse-dresses were added here.
Now the building has been washed away by water, and the guard horse gate has fallen into the water in a split second.
The water flow poured down from a gap that was several meters wide, and continued to roll the weirs on both sides, pushing large pieces of earth and rocks into the water piece by piece, expanding the gap bit by bit.
Is this gap formed naturally, or is it secretly excavated by soldiers who saw that the situation was wrong? No one could explore it at this time, and even if they were exploring it, they could not punish the soldiers.
Deng Fan was standing at the edge of the gap, so his subordinates had to drag him back a few steps every once in a while to prevent him from falling into the water.
Deng Fan was like a wooden man, without any reaction. At this time, there was only a blank in his mind. He had countless plans and various exquisite means, but it was based on the premise that he had taken the initiative to break the dam and let the water go.
Now that the water level is like this, what else can he do?
In order to cooperate with Deng Fan's plan, the main force of the Jiaozhou Army even took the initiative to dispatch a large number of troops to enter the depressions around Lumen Mountain! Under such circumstances, when the flood arrived, what tragic end should the soldiers face?
Deng Fan's forehead and cold sweat came out in waves. His hands and feet were cold, his whole body was stiff, and his heart could hardly beat. Even if he cut his head a hundred times, he could not bear this responsibility!
At this time, Ren Hui and others were not by Deng Fan's side. With such heavy rain and heavy water, the entire Jiliuyan was shaking, and water flowed out at the bottom of several dams. If the dams were completely broken, let alone the downstream of the dam, only the 4,000 people and the people from Ren Hui's troops would instantly turn into fish and turtles!
This made Deng Fan feel a little relaxed.
His thoughts were completely confused and he could no longer think about things normally. But he felt that if Ren Hui or Jiang Li were by his side and showed a little bit of blame, he could only draw his sword and commit suicide immediately, and he could go to the water, so that he could leave a whole body.
Just as Deng Fan was thinking in a mess, all kinds of things began to wash down the upstream of the Bing Water. The desperate Cao army soldiers were holding wood, floating in the turbulent river water, occasionally making a few desperate calls.
Obviously, somewhere upstream Cao Jun camp was in great danger and the entire camp collapsed.
A Cao army soldier seemed to have better luck. The thick branch he was holding was caught by the rugged rocky beach on the edge of the Liuyan weir. He was rushed by the water. He turned around and turned several times, and finally stopped at the edge of the gap. The Cao army soldier spitted the water in his mouth, soaked most of his body in the water, and looked up.
He had no strength anymore, and could not even stand up straight from the water, so he could only shout: "Which general is above? I am the chief of the chief of the captain Zheng, Mu Fang! Come on, a few brothers, please help me!"
Deng Fanzou's body, which had been standing for a long time, suddenly moved.
He walked slowly down the edge of the embankment, walked three or five steps, and stepped on the water, and then he went to the side of the gasping Cao Junqu Chang.
Na Qu reached out his hand with joy, and Deng Fan pulled out his knife and cut it down with great force.
Where the knife fell, mud and blood splashed together, spraying on Deng Fan's face.
Deng Fan gritted his teeth and slashed one by one madly. Naqu Changchu screamed twice, and soon there was no sound. Deng Fan was still slashing Naqu Chang one by one, cutting Naqu Chang into blood and blood, and then slowly split into five or six pieces. One piece of arms was washed away by water, and then a piece of legs.
Deng Fan continued to chop, and several times because he used too much force, he almost missed his foot and rolled into the torrent next to him.
Deng Fan's guards stood at a later stage and looked at each other. No one dared to go up to persuade, nor did they dare to go up to protect their own captains.
A little further away, Jiang Li saw all this.
He ran around, busy filling the gaps in the embankment, and had not slept all night, his eyes were covered in blood and he was shaking when he walked. Seeing Deng Fan losing his composure, he sighed, not knowing what to say.
A middle-aged man who looked like a Dub was rushed over and reported in a low voice: "Captain, we have demolished the fences of half of the camp and temporarily tied some rafts. If it really doesn't work, please let the school get on the raft first, just in case."
Jiang Li raised his hand and slapped him in the face, knocking Du Bo to the ground.
"What can a raft be used to support? We have 4,000 people here! There are more than a thousand civilians and prisoners!" Jiang Li roared: "For the sake of the present, we can only keep the dam! The water situation will not last for a long time. If we persist until tomorrow, we will have hope!"
After cursing, he realized that this Du Bo was not his subordinate, but Ren Hui's subordinate.
Jiang Li grabbed the Du Bo and whispered, "Who asked you to prepare the raft?"
Jiang Li used his hands too strong, and half of Du Bo's face was swollen. He barely said in Jiang Li's ear: "It's General Ren's meaning! From half an hour ago, there was a hole in the east of the dam that could not be blocked... We tried our best, but the water had already flowed in! General Ren said that he would persevere until the end and asked Captain Jiang and Captain Deng to make other preparations!"
Jiang Li angrily pushed Nadu into the mud.
Chapter completed!
