Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 378 Unexpectedly, [-] infantry surrounded [-] cavalry

At the head of Quzhou City, at the moment when the flood broke out, watching the rushing river, passing along the city wall, and spreading to a full foot below the city wall, the water was slowly and smoothly flowing towards the downstream.

"Mr. Chen."

"exist."

"How many bamboo rafts have you prepared?"

"There are only rafts made of wooden boards. Now, a lot of door boards have been exchanged with money and food and the people in the city, and a thousand rafts have been built."

"Enough to supply our army."

"Chen Xian, send an order to abandon the city, and immediately lead the army to the south, meet General Guan Xing, take the raft and turn north, and go to Yiyang to help."

"To Yiyang?"

Chen Xian ordered his soldiers to put the rafts into the torrential flood, while asking: "General, shouldn't the battlefield be in Shahe? Is it too late for our army to go north to Yiyang?"

"Calculating the time, yesterday's dark guard's last letter from the flying pigeon told me to wait for Cao Wei's iron cavalry to encounter our army. Our army won a small victory and beheaded thousands of Cao's troops, and then chased them northward."

"General Chen Qingzhi and General Pang De cooperated well this time."

"Directly drive Cao Wei's [-] to [-] cavalry to the place where Deng Ai set up an ambush."

"It's a pity that the Dalu Ze has such a huge amount of water that it flows through this circle, and there are only a few meters of water left."

"If there are more and faster, I'm afraid that Cao Wei's tens of thousands of cavalry will not be able to support Yi Yang."

Half a day later, more than 1000 rafts met Guan Xing's troops in Feixiang, and the rafts of the two armies joined forces and headed northward.

"Boyo."

Guan Xing stood on the wooden board behind, "Are you really sure that Cao Wei's cavalry will retreat to Yiyang?"

"Deng Ai broke the embankment in Daluze to flood three hundred miles and sink Cao Wei's iron cavalry into the mud. He used the Shahe River to discharge the flood in order to prevent the northern counties from being hit by the flood. Come, the speed of flood discharge can also be faster."

"At this moment, the flood must have been used to surround Cao Jun's cavalry in the southeast corner of Yiyang."

"However, in Yiyang City, there are only [-] troops under the command of General Zhang Bao. If we want to capture so many Cao's troops, we must have our troops to support them."

Guan Xing was a little excited.

"It's a pity that Deng Ai and Zhang Bao still made the first contribution this time, and you and I can only take credit for supporting them."

Jiang Wei glanced at Guan Xing, who didn't know that this guy still wanted to be a Marquis.

However, he is the second son in the family and cannot inherit Guan Yu's title as Duke of Qin, so it is only natural that he is greedy.

It's a pity... What he doesn't know is that compared to rich families like them, it is more difficult for him, a poor boy from a poor family, to be named a marquis and worship general.

If there is no recommendation from Governor Zhang Ren, if there is no imperial examination, if there is no Tai Academy...

Jiang Wei didn't even dare to think about how old he would have to be to make his mark.

"Report..."

At this time, the raft of the former team received a letter from Feige.

"Report to the two generals, Yiyang Feige sent a letter, our army trapped [-] cavalry of Cao Jun in Taiji Lake between Yiyang and Quzhou."

"Tai Chi Lake?"

Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes, "This commander of the Cao army has a lot of tricks. He actually knows how to use the height of the surrounding lake embankments to avoid the flood, and he also knows how to use Taiji Lake to discharge the flood."

As long as there are lakes, there will be connected ditches and channels.

After all, it is impossible for any natural lake to be airtight. There must be one or two small streams, which often have water leaking out.

In this way, when a mountain torrent breaks out, the water can be released along these ditches, which is the same as Deng Ai's use of the Shahe River to draw the flood from the Dalu Ze.

"Send the order to immediately turn to Taiji Lake and surround Cao's army along the way."

"Here."

Jiang Wei looked back at Guan Xing, "An Guo, how many days do you think the cavalry of Cao Wei have standing rations?"

"Since the siege of Handan, the enemy's cavalry has been cruising outside without supplies, and the cities on all sides have been captured by our army. When they came out, they carried at most five days of rations, and now they have at most one or two days left. .”

"Then guess, how many days will it take for this flood to recede?"

Guan Xing frowned slightly, "Our army is going to make a northern expedition. This flood should not last long, and it will be discovered by Cao Jun in the north. If Deng Ai wants to retreat from the north, he should block the lake in Daluze right now. Di is."

"Yes, our army besieged Cao's army with floods, leaving the 10,000+ iron cavalry under Xia Houshang's command alone."

"Anyway, the worst situation has already appeared. Cao Jun is also happy to see that after Xiahou Shang's death, a big river will block our army's way to the north."

"They will never take the initiative to fill the embankment of Dalu Ze."

"The flood will take at least three to five days to recede."

"As for the mud left on the river, I'm afraid it won't dry out after four or five days in hot weather."

Jiang Wei pointed to the north, "So, our army has plenty of time to fight with those Cao troops trapped on the slope of Taiji Lake."

As the sky turned yellow, Guan Xing and Jiang Wei led their army to the slope on the west side of Taiji Lake. From a distance, they directly saw Commander Zhang Bao's fleet.

"Well, you Zhang Bao, you have such a great contribution, you don't even think about me."

"In terms of age, I'm older than you, Guan Xing, didn't you touch it yourself, kid?"

"Say a fart."

Zhang Bao glanced at Guan Xing with a displeased face, he didn't inform this guy, he actually came to the door by himself.

"Okay, don't give me such a bad face. You only have [-] soldiers and horses under your command. How can you swallow the [-] Cao Jun cavalry on the top of the mountain?" Guan Xing glared at him, "Let a certain Guan Xing come to help With your help, when the time comes, the first credit goes to Deng Ai, and the three of us, take the second credit, it's not too much."

Zhang Bao turned his head and spit out, "Bah, I have no objection to Deng Ai's credit for this one, but Zhang Bao's second credit is also my credit. The two of you, at most, will get some credit for your assistance."

"Let me tell you Guan Xing, if you want to make meritorious service, you can become a marquis, but if you want to rush to attack, then you are wishful thinking."

"Zhang Bao, don't treat me like a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Jiang Wei immediately reached out to grab Guan Xing.

"Two generals, please stop arguing."

"In such a rapid flood, even cavalry could not escape the attack, but Cao's army was able to retreat to the slope west of Taiji Lake safely. Don't you think there are smart people among Cao's troops along the way?"

"Huh?" Zhang Bao frowned slightly.

Guan Xing looked at Jiang Wei curiously, "Bo Yue, what do you mean?"

"Since there are smart people, in such a desperate situation, they won't sit idly by. Why don't you let me, Jiang Wei, come forward and persuade them?"

"All the troops in command above are members of the Xiahou family, the sons of Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun, can you persuade them?" Zhang Bao laughed, it was like Zhang Fei was killed by the enemy country, and Zhang Bao was asked to surrender to the enemy country. How is that possible?
