Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 615 Flooded Lujiang River
Luo Lin on the top of the city wall was as cold as ice, but Cao Cao in Cao Ying under the city wall was not as warm as spring. At this time, he was completely different from Luo Lin, but was very anxious.

Cao Cao's camp was stationed in the Tucheng, the most central part of the entire front.The terrain here is relatively low-lying, and there are no hills or forests to use on the left and right. Several camps were built abruptly, the trenches were dug deep, and the walls were compacted.Once the confrontation is about to start, there will be great pressure here.

But Cao Cao chose to let him, the general in charge of the army, build the camp of the Chinese army here, and gave up some barrier terrain to the generals.Such a move, on the one hand, is regarded as love for his subordinates, and on the other hand, it also shows Cao Cao's determination not to break the Lujiang River and not return.Once the battle in Lujiang turns around, he, Cao Cao, will probably die forever.

Everyone knew that Cao Cao had such courage. Unlike Yuan Shu, who could kill others with impunity, Cao Cao was a ruthless man who could not only slaughter a city, but also throw his entire family's life into a war.Moreover, Cao Cao has the wisdom of ruthlessness, and he can also guarantee that all soldiers will be buried with him before his death.

Therefore, facing the city of Lujiang, Cao Jun had only one choice: break it!

At this time, Cao Cao stood on the watchtower with his hands behind his back, staring at the defense line in front of him with a stern face, and issued decisive and cold orders one after another.Between Cao Ying and the high wall in front of Lujiang City, soldiers dressed in black and ochre, like ants that have exploded their nests, fell into the most brutal close combat in the area of ​​the moat that stretched for several miles. Constantly changing, presenting a canine-toothed chaos.

This is the attack order issued by Cao Cao immediately after another arrow tower was smashed on the top of Lujiang City.Commander Le Jin, who was as brave as fire, led the soldiers of the punishment riding battalion to start filling the river with sandbags on their backs.

"Report! General Le Jin is wounded and has been forcibly dragged away from the battlefield by his personal guards!" A messenger ran over and shouted all the way.When Cao Cao heard this, he pointed his index finger in one direction without hesitation: "Send an order to let Cao Hong's reserve army press on, and don't give Liu Xun a chance to breathe."

At this time, Man Chong beside him showed embarrassment: "My lord, General Zilian's subordinates said they were the backup, but they also dug ditches in the middle of the night, and they charged for a while just now. If they attack again at this moment..."

Cao Cao was expressionless, and quickly said: "I don't care how tired they are, as long as they can stand up, they will carry sandbags to fill the river. It's best to leave the corpses in the moat!"

Shocked by Cao Cao's fierce and violent aura, Cao Hong on the side didn't say anything, stretched out his left hand and tore off the sackcloth hanging from his right arm, and shouted before he went downstairs: "My sons, follow me to make achievements! "

Cao Hong's figure soon appeared on the battlefield, but courage and determination could not decide the outcome.Just after Cao Hong charged for half a mile, a burst of rocks smashed towards him, and the rocks fell on the ground, splashing a large amount of mud and dust.Cao Cao's palms tightened suddenly, and he let out a sigh of relief when he saw that his personal guards dragged the screaming Cao Hong off the battlefield.

However, Cao Hong's offensive was slightly contained by this.But not long after, Cao Jun, who was holding a rattan card several times, rushed forward, completely submerging Yuan Bing who came to fill the gap...

Such small changes are constantly happening in every part of the battlefield.The generals, school lieutenant, Qu Chang, Tuen Chang and even the lowest-level ordinary soldiers on both sides are desperately fighting for their own positions, hoping to have a little impact on the battle situation with their own wisdom or bravery. If you accumulate less, you can gradually accumulate victories.But on the battlefield at this time, no one can say for sure who Sun Wu will smile at Jishou.

"Cao Yanzhou seems to have been hit with a real fire. This scene is really tragic." A voice suddenly came from behind, Cao Cao looked slightly annoyed, but he had to turn around and salute respectfully: "Your Majesty, this place is dangerous. Your Majesty's golden body is really not suitable to stay here for a long time."

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, a stone flew towards him with the sound of howling wind.Naturally, it is impossible for Cao Cao's watchtower to be set within the range of the thunderbolt chariot, but even the momentum of the rolling boulders crushing the Luchai ditches is shocking.

But Liu Xie didn't take it very seriously, but his teasing tone could not help but restrained a lot: "I came here this time only at the request of Mr. Xi, to see the difference between the Han Dynasty and Cao Yanzhou."

Xi Zhicai, who was following Liu Xie, turned very unhappy in an instant: his existence at this time was already embarrassing.But you still confess the secret in my heart, do you really think that I am too slow to leave the Han camp?
But Liu Xie is the emperor after all, he can have no taboos, but Xi Zhicai has to be cautious and silent.Fortunately, both Cao Cao and Liu Xie avoided this topic very tacitly afterwards.Liu Xie looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt emotional: "The battle at sunrise is almost noon now. Cao Yanzhou, have you ever fought for such a long time before?"

Cao Cao frowned slightly: "What do you mean by your Majesty's words?"

Liu Xiedao: "What I mean is, since you have decided to break through the city with water, why do you let the soldiers fight like this?"

Of course Cao Cao didn't think that his water attack strategy could deceive Liu Xie, so he didn't hide anything: "The city of Lujiang is deep and deep, and there are thunderbolt chariots as sharp weapons. Although the morale of the enemy army is not high, they have not fallen much. Attacking is the way to break a city, but it is not a sure way to win. If I don't crush the morale of the enemy army in this way, after the water attack, our army will not be able to fight at once, and the morale of the army will be shaken, and it may be difficult to fight again heart of."

Liu Xie was silent when he heard the words, put his hands on the guardrail of the watchtower, and leaned forward: he understood Cao Cao's meaning in an instant.At the beginning of the war, Cao Jun's morale was very dominant, but as Lujiang guarded for longer, Cao Jun's morale here would drop, and the morale of Lujiang soldiers would stabilize.This is determined by the battle situation, and has little to do with the ability of the commander in chief.

What Cao Cao said is right at all. After the water attack, if Cao Jun can't break through the city in one fell swoop.Then Cao Jun may think that it is impossible for Lujiang to be breached.Therefore, before this, Cao Cao must be ruthless and eliminate all uncertain factors, even if he can't control it at all, he must do his best.

This is actually what Liu Xie is most worried about.

Although, he had secretly sent a letter to Luo Lin, thinking of taking Lujiang into his hands before Cao Cao broke the city.But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes after all, and Cao Cao's use of troops was once again beyond Liu Xie's expectations.After more than ten days, Cao Cao hardly did any useless work. He discovered the biggest weakness of Lujiang when he came up, and then he continued to attack the city, keeping Lujiang under a high-pressure situation.

Such a situation made it impossible for Liu Ye to send an elite force to break through and destroy the dam even if he counted Cao Cao's poisonous plan; The sealed letter was passed into Luo Lin's hands.

Now, the most critical moment is about to usher in.Liu Xie didn't care no matter how he behaved, but the fundamental reason was that he wanted to take a look with his own eyes to see if Lujiang was captured by Cao Cao.

The sun above his head became more and more poisonous, and Liu Xie couldn't help becoming anxious.At this time, there was no cry of killing in the city of Lujiang: the preparations were all ready, Cao Cao had to rest his troops, and at the same time create an illusion of another victory for the soldiers of Lujiang.When Cao Jun finished resting and the Lujiang soldiers were defenseless, Cao Cao would show a real thunderous blow.

At that time, whether Lujiang created a miracle, or just fell into the city.Liu Xie was helpless, he could only stand here and watch from a distance.

Finally, Yiqi flew up on the blood shadow shining on the sun, and ordered to climb up the watchtower and whisper something to Cao Cao.Cao Cao's dark face stretched out. After taking a deep breath, he said to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, please go downstairs."

Cao Jun camped in low-lying places, and when the flood broke the embankment, it would inevitably turn these into a vast ocean.Liu Xie nodded, went downstairs and rode his horse to the Gaopo camp of the Han army, and slowly raised the binoculars in his hand.

At one end of the telescope, Cao Cao has disappeared. Until the flood subsides, Cao Jun will not show his face.Immediately after the camera turned, Liu Xie saw the terrified faces of the soldiers in Lujiang City. They looked as if they had been dumbed down.

After that, Liu Xie heard the deafening sound of water, and the sudden burst of the embankment was like a world falling apart.The raging Huai River roared and surged down, and the white waves rolled up to a height of hundreds of feet.Countless seemingly small stones merged with the waves, as light as pebbles thrown by giants.But Liu Xie knew that those stones were the ammunition of the thunderbolt car, the big ones were like a millstone, and the small ones were waist-wide.

The rolling sound resounded in my ears, and the torrential Huai Shui was like an enraged water dragon, showing its most violent side, mercilessly submerging the forests, archery towers, and camps in front of me until it hit the city wall of Lujiang River, It was suddenly blocked.But the city wall shook violently as if it had been hit hard.

Countless Lujiang soldiers lay on their backs on the city wall, looking up at the several feet high Huai River rushing down, their mournful shouts resounding across the sky...
