Jingzhou, Fancheng. For three days, the shouts of killing around Fancheng have never stopped. Especially at dawn on the third day, the offensive and defensive battle entered a fierce stage.
The Yellow Turban Army and Liu Bei's army suddenly became even crazier than the previous two days. Under the heavy rain of arrows and thunderbolt chariots from the Jingzhou Army, they rushed towards the already dilapidated Fancheng as if they were desperate.
"Boom!" A loud noise was heard, and the huge city gate that was so dilapidated that it could not be opened collapsed for the third time. Under the attack of the Qin and Liu coalition forces regardless of the cost, the soldiers of the coalition once again entered Fancheng!
"General, the city gate has been broken, and our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties!" The bloody general hurriedly came to Wenpin, who was also like a bloody man, and hissed.
Today, Wenpin is no longer as handsome as he was before. The fierce and sleepless battles for several days have already exhausted him mentally and physically. The scars all over his body are appearing ferociously, like insects sucking life, making Wenpin's aura extremely weak.
If it weren't for his tenacious willpower, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stand here and command the battle now.
In fact, there is no need to report it. Wenpin has already known the current situation of the battle from the closer and closer shouts of killing. Under the crazy attacks of the Yellow Turban Army and Liu Beijun, the Jingzhou Army has long been at the end of the war. Being able to persist until now is a good thing for Wenpin.
It’s already a miracle for people to hire.
"It was finally breached..." Wenpin murmured, his somewhat empty eyes scanning the faces of the generals and soldiers around him one by one.
"General! Give the order, we will live and die with Fancheng!" A general with a broken arm said angrily.
"General, give the order! Let the Yellow Turbans and Liu Bei know who is the real master of Jingzhou! If they want to trample on our land in Jingzhou, they must first step on our corpses! There are no cowards in our Jingzhou army!" Wenpin was surrounded by people around him.
, whether it was a general or a soldier, hundreds of voices roared at the same time.
Hearing this deafening voice, Wenpin's heart trembled. No matter when and where, no matter which camp he is in. The soldiers who are about to face defeat and fight to the death are respectable, and they must use their roars
To shock the enemy's will and use their most precious lives to show their glory as soldiers!
"Brothers, are you willing to die for Jingzhou!" Wenpin's voice was hoarse, as if there was a huge stone weighing in his throat.
"For Jingzhou! Long live the Jingzhou Army!" Countless rough throats shouted in unison.
"Okay!" Wenpin nodded, suddenly pulled out the spear stuck in the rubble beside him, and roared: "Send my military order, all the soldiers in Fancheng will retreat to the city and start a street fight with the enemy! Zhang Hu
.Light up the smoke of the city lord's palace! Chen Sheng. Put my banner in the most eye-catching position in the city, we will live and die with Fancheng!"
"Roar!" In Jingzhou City, the officers and soldiers of the three armies roared at the same time and all took orders. High in the city, battle flags rolled. War drums were like thunder, and a wolf smoke like a towering tree rose straight into the sky. The Jingzhou Army in Fancheng
Be the first to sound the clarion call for decisive battle!
"Wolf smoke?! Is Wenpin going to resist to the end?!" Outside Fancheng, under the banner of the Yellow Turban King Ming, Qin Yang stared at the thick wolf smoke rising in Fancheng with twinkling eyes. There was no trace of finality on his face at all.
In contrast to the joy and excitement of capturing Fancheng, a trace of anxiety flashed across his eyes from time to time.
"Hahahaha! The Jingzhou soldiers are going to fight! This is the moment I have been waiting for! Brothers, charge with me!" On the side of the Yellow Turban Army's position. In Liu Bei's camp, Zhang Fei, who had been waiting impatiently, saw the gate of Fancheng.
Being broken open, he couldn't help laughing and wanted to lead his army to charge.
"General Zhang, don't be impulsive!" Suddenly, a war horse blocked in front of Zhang Fei's horse. On top of the war horse, a very thin scholar sat.
"Military advisor, what do you mean by this? Don't you want to give Fancheng to Qin Yang?!" Zhang Fei stared in surprise and asked. At this time, not only Zhang Fei, but also Liu Bei and Guan Yu on the side were also very puzzled by Xu Shu.
They all looked at Xu Shu regardless of their intentions.
"My lord, generals, don't be anxious..." Xu Shu glanced cautiously at the direction of the Yellow Turban Army camp, then tried to lower his voice and said: "My lord, didn't you see the smoke rising in Fancheng? Although Fancheng
It is a strategic location, but I don’t expect Liu Biao to be willing to lose a hundred thousand troops just because of Fancheng. Since he dares to throw a hundred thousand men into battle and fight to the death, he must have a deeper intention!"
"A deeper intention?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
Zhang Fei, however, said impatiently: "Commander, please stop being so cryptic and just tell me what the Jingzhou Army wants to do!"
Xu Shu pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "I can't guess the enemy's intentions in a hurry. But I am sure of one thing. Since they dare to invest a hundred thousand troops to defend, they will definitely annihilate twenty of our troops.
Wan’s sure of it!”
"Two hundred thousand?!" This time it was not only Liu Bei, but also the arrogant Guan Yu and the belligerent Zhang Fei who were silent at the same time. The three Liu Bei brothers have only managed an army of 50,000 until now. If it is true as Xu Shu said
Normally, all their wealth combined would not be enough to account for a quarter of the casualties.
At the same time, under the banner of King Huangjin Ming, Guo Jia also blocked Qin Yang's order to attack the entire army.
"Your Highness, behind Fancheng is Xiangjiang where Liu Biao's 200,000 navy troops are stationed. At this time, the city defense has been broken, but the Fancheng defenders still have a way to retreat. Why don't they retreat? Your Highness, please think twice..."
"You can retreat without fighting to the death? You mean..." Qin Yang's half-drawn sword suddenly froze in place. In normal times, even if he had not thought of this, he would never have rashly ordered the entire army to attack.
But at this time, Diao Chan's letter and Lu Bu's massacre had completely confused him. Thinking of Guo Jia's words and the current situation, Qin Yang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"And please see, Your Highness, Liu Bei's reserve army is also standing still. They must have discovered this too!" Guo Jia looked at Liu Bei's camp. In addition to the troops attacking the city on the front line, Liu Bei's military camp headquarters of 20,000 troops also had no trace.
Not moving, no sign of charge at all.
"Liu Bei... Fancheng!" Qin Yang followed Guo Jia's gaze and saw that it was indeed the case. He couldn't help but want to scold Liu Bei for his cunningness. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Flooded Fancheng...could it be flooded Fancheng?!" Under Guo Jia's surprised gaze, Qin Yang stared blankly at the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Guan Yu's hand in Liu Bei's camp, muttering as if nervously.
"Your Highness, what did you say?" Guo Jia asked confused.
Guo Jia's words suddenly pulled Qin Yang out of shock. He suddenly grabbed Guo Jia and shouted: "Quickly send my military order to Zhang Niujiao and Liao Hua who are currently attacking the city to withdraw their troops! The entire army retreats.
!quick!"
Guo Jia was startled by Qin Yang's almost crazy behavior, but after the military order was given, he hurriedly raised the flag in his hand. Seeing the flag waving, several ordering soldiers immediately rushed into the military formation like arrows.
Come out! In an instant, the sound of "ringing gold" was loudly heard in the Yellow Turban Army's camp, and several messengers rode on war horses, carrying the withdrawal flag on their backs and quickly rushed towards the front line of Fancheng.
Seeing that the military order had been issued, Qin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and murmured as if with lingering fear: "It's so dangerous, I didn't expect Liu Biao to use troops like this..."
Although Guo Jia passed on Qin Yang's military order, he was still a little confused about Qin Yang's intentions. Seeing that Qin Yang had returned to normal, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, even though the Jingzhou army may be treacherous, we have our army outside the city to support you."
, I assume that General Zhang and General Liao will not be in any danger, right?"
What Guo Jia was thinking at this moment was actually exactly the same as Xu Shu's. According to their usual thinking, even if the Jingzhou Army had an ambush or other strategies, as long as there was a strong enough army to support the outside, the troops rushing into Fancheng would not be able to do so.
There would be too much danger.
After Qin Yang heard Guo Jia's question, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Speaking of military advisor, you are a fan of the authorities! Don't you even remember the tactics you are best at? What if it is not the enemy who is surrounding my siege force?
If the army is a flood, even if we have a million troops to support it, what's the use?!"
"Water?! Flooded Fancheng?!" Under Qin Yang's reminder, Guo Jia suddenly woke up. As Qin Yang said, Guo Jia was resourceful and best at attacking with water. In the battle of Han River, he used salt to break the ice and flooded the city.
He defeated 30,000 Heishan troops, and the Battle of Luoshui used the raging Luoshui to block the retreat of hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops. To this day, he never expected that the Jingzhou army would use the same strategy to deal with Qin Yang.
Allied forces with Liu Bei!
The reason why Fancheng is called a strategic location is because it is located at the intersection of Han River, Dan River, Xi River and Yu River. The four major water systems merge into Xiangjiang River on the side of Fancheng, which is the waterway between Jingxiang and Jingxiang.
Important point. If the Jingzhou Army really blocks the four rivers and diverts water at the same time, the entire Fancheng will instantly turn into a vast ocean!
After Guo Jia figured it out, he looked up and watched the battle on the front line without breaking out in cold sweat. At this time, the battle between the two sides was at a fever pitch. If he had not stopped Qin Yang from ordering the entire army to attack, not to mention the more than 20 Yellow Turban Army
Tens of thousands of elite troops, even millions of troops, could not withstand this torrent! I never expected that Liu Biao would be willing to sacrifice the lives of almost all the hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou's army and hundreds of thousands of people in Fancheng in exchange for all the Qin and Liu coalition forces.
The army was destroyed!
At the same time, less than a quarter of an hour after Qin Yang's order was issued, a loud "rumbling" sound like the sky and the earth shattering suddenly sounded around Fancheng!
The ground around Fancheng began to tremble, and on the endless horizon, a sound like thousands of horses galloping resounded. After a moment, wherever you looked, the monstrous floods pulled up long water lines, like a
Like the released ancient evil beast, it roared and rushed towards Fancheng!
"Has the dike burst? Brothers, long live Jingzhou!" Feeling the incomparable power of heaven and earth, Wenpin, who was standing on a high place, suddenly pointed the spear in his hand straight to the sky and roared. Long before the war began,
He already knew that he and the 150,000 Jingzhou Army were used as bait to lure/annihilate the enemy army, but he had no regrets. If the most powerful princes in the world could be completely wiped out in this battle, then his name Wenpin would surely go down in history.
