The roar of thunder came from the distance, and the sound became clearer and clearer from far to near.
Cao Cao felt the sound in the distance, and the sound gradually became deafening, as if the city wall was shaking slightly. He was even more expecting in his heart, and looked up into the distance, staring at the distance.
At this moment, Cao Cao stood on the tower like a sculpture.
Boom! Boom!!
On the official road outside the city, the turbid river water rushed in, like water snakes scurrying around and spreading continuously. Under the violent erosion, the force of the water was stronger in the slightly steeper slopes, and even the trees collapsed.
On the ground, the vast water spread, and in a very short time, everything outside the city was submerged.
The water was still rising, and the water level was also rising little by little. Moreover, the flood swept everywhere, destroying everything on the ground. After a while, Cao Cao estimated that the depth of the water was already more than half a person's height.
However, Cao Cao is still waiting.
He needs a deeper water level to facilitate sailing.
The heavy rain has been continuing, and after the river bursts its banks violently, it will continue to rush along the location where the banks burst, so the water level will still have room to rise.
Cao Cao and everyone under his command are waiting.
At the same time, the hilly area where Lu Xuan was located had been washed away by turbid floods.
Lu Xuan, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, came out of the camp and stood with Zhou Yu on the highest point of the hillside to observe the situation. From their positions, they could see the densely packed campsites surrounding them.
The rushing flood water kept coming towards the camp, getting closer and closer to the camp.
Lu Xuan saw the flood and said with a smile: "Gong Jin, Cao Cao has burst the embankment. What happens next is up to us."
Zhou Yu said calmly: "The floods are scouring, running wantonly, and extremely fast. Shanyang Lake will soon find out, and then break the embankment and release the water. I estimate that Shanyang Lake has broken the embankment, and the water flow is coming soon. The next wave
When the flood comes and the water level rises further, many of our camps will be submerged."
Boom! Boom!!
The floods at the bottom of the mountain are flowing rapidly.
The water waves beat more and more violently, once again becoming more violent visible to the naked eye, and then rushed into the camp area on the lowest level.
Although the location of the camp is on a hill, the hills in this plain area are only slightly higher than the depressions. There will be no accumulation of water in the event of heavy rain. Now the rivers are swollen, floods are coming, and the highlands are being flooded.
, the camp cannot be avoided.
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "My lord, the flood of Shanyang Lake is coming. Otherwise, it wouldn't have surged so much again. It's even more violent than before."
Lu Xuan looked at the water level as it surged further, reaching more than a person's height. This was a quite terrifying water level.
Most boats can travel.
One result of this was that the floods continued to spread up the hillside, and a large number of soldiers' camps were washed away by the influx of floods.
The whole camp was in chaos.
When Lu Xuan saw this scene, he did not feel any panic. Instead, he looked expectantly and said: "Many of our camps have been flooded. At this time, Cao Cao must have thought that we were flooded and reduced to drowned rats."
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "This is the effect we want to achieve. Only in this way will Cao Cao take the initiative."
Lu Xuan ordered: "Send orders to all the soldiers to launch all the boats in the direction of the rear camp and get them ready. When Cao Cao's team arrives, all our boats can rush out and surround Cao Cao's army.
"
"Here!"
Zhou Yu ordered to go down.
Although it rained continuously, such heavy rain did not affect the subsequent fighting.
Lu Xuan's soldiers were moving quickly.
Small boats were launched one after another in the south of the hillside, and soldiers entered the boats one after another. Especially the soldiers under Lu Xuan's command, the main force was brought from Yangzhou Jiangnan. Most of them were proficient in water skills and could also take boats, so they entered easily.
Looking around, there are hundreds of densely packed boats.
In addition, there are several larger ships.
These boats were sent by Taishi Ci, and the army led by Taishi Ci was also close to the area, ready to send troops at any time.
When Lu Xuan was ready, he waited quietly.
Outside Pheasant County, due to the influx of water from Shanyang Lake, the flood spread and the water level rose sharply.
Cao Cao was surprised for a moment when he saw the soaring water level. Then he regained his composure and said, "Fengxiao, have you noticed that the flood has become much faster and fiercer? Although it gradually returned to calm and did not continue to surge, it was still higher than before."
A lot."
Guo Jia said: "After the river embankment breaks, a large amount of floods will wash away, and there will be more and more places where the embankment breaks. It should be that the places where the embankment breaks are further washed away, and more floods will pour in."
"Fengxiao's analysis makes sense."
Cao Cao looked at the turbid flood water outside the city and said, "It's time to attack."
Liu Bei's eyes brightened and he said, "Cao Sikong, have you noticed that the rain has become lighter and not as heavy as before?"
Cao Cao paid close attention, his eyes lit up, and he loudly said: "Yes, it is indeed smaller. Looking at this situation, even God knows that we are going to attack Lu Xuan, so the rain has become smaller."
Liu Bei said: "This is what the sky has eyes for."
Cao Cao nodded and said: "It has been raining for such a long time. Although Lu Xuan may prepare some boats, the few boats Lu Xuan has cannot be compared with ours and cannot accommodate all Lu Xuan's soldiers."
"When a few of Lu Xuan's boats appear, we can surround them and directly attack Lu Xuan's few boats."
"The key is that the flood surged, already as high as a person. At this height, it would inevitably submerge the area where Lu Xuan was. His camp turned into a swamp, and countless soldiers under his command were submerged by the flood. Even Lu Xuan was drowned.
"
Cao Cao said happily: "When our army kills them, we can harvest the lives of Lu Xuan's soldiers. We will win this battle."
"Destroy the army and capture Lu Xuan alive."
Liu Bei also looked excited.
He clenched his fist and waved it fiercely in the air.
Cao Cao ordered: "Send troops!"
He gave an order, and the soldiers opened the city gate and allowed the flood to rush into the city. Small boats came out of the city one after another. In each small boat, there were a large number of soldiers sitting, all holding long guns.
When fighting on water, spears are the most suitable for attacking. As long as someone falls into the water, one shot can kill the person who fell into the water. Small boats rushed out of the city and headed towards the hillside where Lu Xuan was in the southeast.
Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Ma Chao all participated in the battle, and all went out by boat.
Zhang Fei, who was beside Liu Bei, also led his men to join the battle.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others are still in Pheasant County. They are looking from a high position and only need to command from the rear.
Cao Cao was in high spirits and suggested: "Xuande, on this beautiful day, how about you and I have a drink? I asked people to pick some green plums, drink wine, eat preserved green plums, and wait for the good news from the front line.
A great pleasure.”
"Cao Sikong, please!"
Liu Bei answered excitedly.
He was looking forward to it in his heart.
This time, he had 10,000 elites under his command, plus the more than 3,000 people Cao Cao had reorganized, a total of more than 13,000 people were killed, and Lu Xuan's people would definitely be defeated.
Although Lu Xuan's people are many, the problem is that if Lu Xuan's people fall into the water, they will definitely lose.
Liu Bei and Cao Cao returned to the room, drinking wine and chatting, talking about some dirty words and interesting things. The atmosphere was very lively.
