the next day.

Genius is lit.

Zhang Xiu, the defender of Fancheng, was awakened by his soldiers.

"General! General! Something is wrong!"

Several personal soldiers hurriedly ran into Fancheng from outside.

Since Guan Yu took his men to Xinye and asked Liu Bei about his next plan, there have been few soldiers stationed in Fancheng.

Liu Bei and his friends planned to set out from Xinye and use the mobility of the cavalry to breathe Runan. In this way, they could conquer Runan and take back the land of Yuzhou from Liu Zheng in just a few days.

Even if they can't get any advantage on the battlefield in Jingzhou, the surprise attack on Yuzhou and joining with Zhang Fei from Yanzhou can still make Liu Bei's attack this time play a role.

Therefore, only 30,000 infantrymen and Ma Teng's remaining 20,000 cavalrymen were left behind in Fancheng.

Guan Yu himself followed the army to attack Runan. The only generals stationed in Fancheng was Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu is the main general, while Ma Teng outside the city is the main general of the linkage.

At this time, Zhang Xiu was still sleeping. He was woken up by the sounds outside the camp and stood up impatiently.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

Zhang Xiu put on his clothes, got up from the bed, and looked directly at the soldiers outside.

At this time, the personal soldier was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. After rushing in, he began to answer at Zhang Xiu hesitantly.

"General...General, Fancheng... Fancheng is surrounded by floods!"

"Big water? What kind of water?"

"The Hanshui embankment was dug, and the water came directly towards Fancheng!"

"What!"

At this time, after hearing the soldier's words, Zhang Xiu was shocked and his whole face changed.

He walked out of the camp impatiently, then turned over and took the horse. Without waiting for the personal soldier to say anything to him, he went straight to the city gate and looked over.

But at this time, he didn't need to see it, because the surroundings of Fancheng had been flooded by water, and some infiltration of water began to appear in the city.

The tunnels in the city were originally filled with water, and the road surface was covered with a layer of shallow water.

If the city has become like this, the situation outside the city will be even more unoptimistic.

Seeing the appearance in the city, Zhang Xiu's face began to appear a little nervous. When he rode his horse and arrived on the city tower, the sky began to brighten.

He quickly climbed up the city tower and looked around.

This look made Zhang Xiu stunned.

At this time, outside Fancheng City, there was already a vast ocean.

The water does not flow over at once, but spreads over little by little, little by little, silent.

When the people in the city discovered that there was a flood outside the city, the people in the city could no longer leave the city surrounded by the flood.

After all, there are no ships in the city, and the water that is too high outside the city has become a bit scary outside the city. If you leave the city, you may be flooded by floods at any time.

Originally, there were some scattered trees outside Fancheng, and these small numbers were not counted, but now looking around, there were only some leaves left in these trees and were exposed on the water.

The majestic flood poured away from Fancheng, and the water flow formed was like a small river.

Fancheng has now become an isolated city.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu was stunned.

He immediately turned his head and asked a question at a soldier guarding the city beside him.

"What's going on? Why did our Fancheng be flooded overnight? What did you eat last night? I didn't find out?"

Zhang Xiu's inquiry, with an extremely angry tone, scared the soldier so much that he was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

On the contrary, Cheng Yin, the defender on the city tower, immediately stood up and answered Zhang Xiu's words.

"General, it's not that we didn't notice it, but that the weather was very dark all night last night and we couldn't detect it at all. We knew that this morning, we could see the changes outside the city clearly."

Although Zhang Xiu was angry at this moment, everything had happened now. Even if he got angry again and got angry at his subordinates, he would not be able to solve this problem.

"What should I do now? Is it feasible for the army to leave Fancheng and withdraw to Xinye?"

Zhang Xiu asked Cheng Yin beside him.

Cheng Yin has no good idea at this moment. Retreat is impossible for the time being. The flood is spreading, so leaving at this moment is unrealistic.

They don't have ships.

"General, I...we have nothing to do."

"You are stupid like pigs. Of course, there is nothing to do. Forget it, you are talking nonsense. Go and recruit military advisors. I want to discuss matters with the military advisors!"

At this time, Fancheng's military advisor was nothing else, but Shi Tao, who was sent by Liu Bei from Xinye not long ago.

Zhang Xiu quickly returned to his military camp.

Found Shi Tao.

"Military...Military advisor! It happened...a big thing!"

At this time, Zhang Xiu himself was already a little panicked. As the main general, Zhang Xiu had already begun to panic about this incident.

Shi Tao had a gloomy face at this moment. It had been so long since the incident happened. As a military advisor, Shi Tao already knew what happened.

After meeting Zhang Xiu, Shi Tao restrained his expression.

"General, Fancheng is in danger!"

Shi Tao could see where the danger lies in Fancheng.

"Military advisor, what should we do now!"

"At present, I can only hold on to the city!"

Shi Tao did not dare to say despairing words. After all, there were still 30,000 troops in the city, so he was not completely unconfident.

"Okay, stick to the city and wait and see what's going on!"

"Our situation is pretty good. I'm just worried about General Ma Teng!"

Although he was surrounded by water in Fancheng, at least the soldiers and horses were not seriously injured. The Han River is now eroding, and the most dangerous thing is Ma Teng, who is stationed outside the city.

Because Ma Teng's men have no city to defend.

If he is trapped in a low-lying place, he is afraid that the army will be washed away by the flood.

At this time, although Ma Teng was not washed away by the flood, he was not far away.

The flood came last night. Although Ma Teng noticed it very early, the flood had already blocked the way. These cavalry could not escape at all. They could only find a high ground to gather for the time being.

The 20,000 cavalrymen could only temporarily station on an unknown hill outside Fancheng, hoping to find a way after the flood receded.

And how could Liu Zheng give them a chance?

The next morning, just cleared, and the navy led by Liu Zheng ordered Zulang to appear outside Xiangyang City a few days ago.
Chapter completed!
