Chapter 353 Ding Central Plains Flooded Moling
Pang Tong was horrified, the other party had spent so much effort in setting up such a scheme, and he would not give up easily, intending to catch himself all at once.Then the opponent will definitely take the opportunity to release the water after the success of the fire plan. Only in this way can they cut off their last way of life.Sun Can is not a fool, let alone an idiot. The current situation simply cannot withstand the flood attack.How could Sun Can, who is best at grasping opportunities, miss this great opportunity?How could it be possible to look at Jiang Dong who is about to get it and not be moved?

Before he had time to explain, he hurriedly bowed and said, "My lord, Sun Can has already built a dam to store water in the upper reaches of the Xunyang River twenty miles away. First fire and then water, I'm afraid it will be time to release the water soon."

Sun Ce had heard Pang Tong's words earlier, although he had sensed it in his heart, he couldn't help but gasped in surprise, and asked, "But the truth?"

Pang Tong said anxiously: "It's all speculation by my subordinates, but nine out of ten are true."

Sun Ce was decisive, glanced at Pang Tong, and said decisively: "If you pass the order, everyone will hide in the high ground, and the food, grass and other materials will be transported to the high place in batches as quickly as possible. Chenggong! You lead the soldiers to guard the west gate; Gongfu, you Lead the soldiers to guard the south gate; Ziyi, you lead the soldiers to guard the east gate. Don't let the enemy take advantage of the flood to attack Moling. The rest of the generals will follow me to the north gate to resist Sun Can's main force. Zibu , Mr. Zigang, you immediately rule over the people and move them to a safe high ground."

At this time, the generals couldn't care about other things, and immediately ran towards their respective missions after receiving the order.

Pang Tong said anxiously: "When there is a flood, the north gate will be the opponent's key attack area. My lord, you must not take risks easily. There is still an overall situation that needs to be controlled by your lord. This time we have fallen into the enemy's tricks, so losses are inevitable. As long as there is still one breath left, it will not be overturned, but once the lord encounters an accident, Jiangdong will really die."

A cold light flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and he said: "Don't worry, military commander, Ce is not someone who doesn't know the severity, and won't die casually. The military commander can go to the government office to settle down. After Ce repelled Sun Can's offensive, I will come to discuss with the husband later." Things. Now is the time for soldiers to use their lives, if I hide behind, how can I mobilize the morale of the whole army!"

Pang Tong stopped insisting, got on his horse and withdrew to the government office.

*************************
At this moment, in the upper reaches of the Xunyang River, twenty miles north of Moling City.

A heroic and extraordinary man was holding a strange object and looking towards the north. Behind him stood an old man with a spirit of immortality and a young man in his 20s.

The old man said: "Chan'er, it should be time. If Pang Tong can't figure out our strategy at this time, then his reaction will be too slow."

Sun Can nodded in agreement, this time the water attack was a means, not for killing.Their purpose was to force Sun Ce to leave Moling, not to kill the people in Moling city.Therefore, they gave Pang Tong time to inform the people, intending to minimize casualties.

He turned around and asked, "Yuan Tan, are you ready for the winter clothes?"

Gu Yongdao: "Everything is ready, the first batch of supplies will arrive at noon tomorrow."

After hearing this, Sun Can showed a satisfied smile, and then he straightened his face and said, "Open the gate, release the water..."

"...boom...boom...boom..."

After the soldiers pushed down the dam, the rumbling sound of the roaring flood like rolling thunder reached Sun Can's ears.Sun Can yelled "Bitter" in his heart, and even Sun Can himself was taken aback by the momentum of the flood.

The roaring flood continued to spread rapidly in the blink of an eye, and Sun Can's army camp outside Moling was completely submerged in the blink of an eye.At this moment, there was no one in the village, and Sun Can didn't feel any pain in his heart. The flood entered Moling in a few blinks of an eye.

Water is everywhere.

At this moment, Moling City has become a hell on earth. The flood rushes down along the Xunyang River, and after a while, the ferocious true face is revealed. The turbid river is several feet high, like a frightened prehistoric beast, running wild .It is also like a group of demons who have been trapped for a long time, opening their mouths ferociously, intending to swallow Moling City in one gulp.It is as if thunder is rolling between the sky and the earth, constantly beating the hearts of the listeners.The power of the ten-thousand-hectare flood, and even this, cannot be stopped by human power.The flood passed by the east and west sides of Anze City, and immediately surrounded Moling City.

Suddenly, there was another loud bang.

The presumed city wall not far from the city gate of Moling North City could not withstand the flood and fell down. It had already experienced countless storms by Sun Can and became dilapidated.Now, under the impact of the flood, it can no longer carry out his mission, and it falls down heroically.

The flood rushed into the city along the broken wall, and the raging tide raged in the city.
Houses were washed away, and everything was submerged more than the flood.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong had already brought the soldiers and civilians in the city to a high place. Even so, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, who stood on the high place and watched the flood in the city, still felt uneasy.If it was one o'clock in the evening, maybe the people of the whole city would be buried with Sun Cejun.

Looking at the torrential river, Zhang Zhao sighed: "Sun Can is indeed not a wise master. If it were someone else, I'm afraid you and I are begging at the moment, and the more than [-] people in this Mausoleum will all be buried for him."

Zhang Hong is silent, anyone who understands can see that Sun Can is deliberately delaying the flooding, otherwise, if the water is released after the fire in Wangjiang Tower is extinguished, how many people will be spared?

All the people in Moling City stood on the high ground and lingered. They watched their homes being swept away by the flood, and their food was washed away by the flood, and they all cried bitterly.

Compared with the losses of the common people, Sun Cejun's losses were much greater.Although Sun Can gave him some time to prepare, it was not long after all, and many of the remaining materials were transported away before there was enough time.There is no flammable items such as kerosene left, and most of the food has been washed away.It was barely enough for a month, but now it can only last for ten days at most.The remaining losses, large and small, plunged Sun Cejun, who was already rich, into an economic crisis.Today, they can't even pay the soldiers' salaries.

Standing at a height only ten miles away from Moling City, Sun Can looked indifferently at the ruined Moling that had been submerged by the flood. He must hate himself to the bone.I took it as my mission to restore the Han Dynasty, and my father made me put the people first, but now I have destroyed the homes of tens of thousands of people.Kill [-] people and damage yourself by [-].I didn't lose my troops, but I lost the hearts of the people in Moling. If it wasn't a last resort, how could I make such a decision.Thinking that this flood will submerge tens of millions of acres of fertile land near the Xunyang River and make countless big men and people homeless, Sun Can feels a dull pain in his heart.

At this time, behind him came the voices of Zhang Fei and other generals visiting.

Sun Can didn't want his troubles to infect his beloved general, so the expression on his face eased a lot, and he forced a smile and said, "Yide, what's the matter here?"

Zhang Fei, who was originally joking, became serious. He is not a careful person, but the close relationship of nearly 20 years has given them a strange tacit understanding, as if he also felt that Sun Can was in a bad mood. He put away his smile , Said: "Lao Zhang is here to plead for life. The Moling city wall is broken, which is a great opportunity to capture Sun Ce. Please allow me, my lord, to let Lao Zhang lead his elite soldiers into the city to capture Sun Ce alive as soon as the flood recedes. My lord is troubled."

He didn't understand why Sun Can was worried, he only thought that his lord was worried about Sun Ce, so he volunteered to go into the city to capture Sun Ce alive.

Sun Can moved and said: "Since Yide has this heart, Can will order you to be the vanguard, and after the flood, go into the city to capture Sun Ce."

"Decree!" Zhang Fei shouted loudly.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Hua stopped the attack and said, "This is not the right time to attack the city."

"Why?" Sun Can said puzzledly: "Sun Ce was newly defeated, and the city gate was also knocked down by the flood. This is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy. Why is it not suitable for attacking the city?"

Liu Hua said: "At this moment, Sun Ce is in a desperate situation, but there are still more than [-] soldiers in the city. Sun Ce is a hero. If we fight to the death, even if our army wins, it will be a miserable victory. What's more, the people in the city hate us to the bone. If the other party is using the people hate us, then we will be in a dilemma. What should we do then?"

Sun Can was speechless. If it really got to that point, the soldiers would definitely slash at the common people.At that time, I couldn't justify not letting them cut it. After all, on the battlefield, either you die or I die.But once he attacks the people, the title of "butcher" will fall on his head.

If this kind of title falls on him, he will not be able to wash himself off by jumping into the Yellow River.If the father hears it, it is not certain whether he will recognize himself as an unworthy and rebellious son.

"Then what should we do?" Sun Can asked.

Liu Hua laughed and said, "Of course we let it go. Can'er, what's the scene in the city now? It's winter, the coldest season of the year. This flood wiped out all the winter belongings of the people in the city. Rush away. How do they survive the winter? Does Sun Ce have a way to make them survive the winter?
The common people are forgetful, whoever treats them well, their hearts will be towards him.As long as we first tell the people in the city about our difficulties and the secret rescue of them.Then it is talking about giving them something for the winter.At that time, how would they choose?This is the way to take heart.As for Sun Ce, he is short of food and grass, what can he do?Is it stupid to raise the army and eat up all the food, or to disarm the most elite team to reduce consumption and break through? "

Sun Can heard it, and laughed loudly: "Little Sun Ce, let's see how you escape from my Sun Can's palm."
