The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, the dam will soon be dug through.

Gan Ning began to think of ways to find a safer way for these soldiers under his command.

After all, if he kept digging forward, Gan Ning didn't know how long it would take to clear the dam.

In case the dam is dug directly without preparation, the flood will pour down, and hundreds of people will be dispersed.

In this way, they continued to dig cautiously. After about an hour of digging, they finally dug through the embankment.

Only heard a bang.

A dike mouth blocked by many timbers, one of the supporting timbers is pulled apart.

The chain reaction caused caused all the surrounding wood baffles to fall.

Without the shelter of these timbers, the levee completely collapsed at this moment.

The water is pouring down at this moment.

The flood broke through the dam in an instant and rushed directly to the location of Fancheng.

Gan Ning stood on the side of the mountain to see this scene.

I have lingering fears.

But at this moment, he was even more excited because he had completed what Liu Zheng had told him.

"Hahaha, it's done, let's withdraw!"

Gan Ning looked at the pouring flood without any regrets in his eyes.

On the contrary, there are changes in the situation that will be brought about when the flood reaches Fancheng.

In the middle of the night.

Gan Ning had already returned to the barracks with these troops.

Before dawn, Gan Ning had secretly arrived at Liu Zheng's camp.

Liu Zheng was also awakened from his deep sleep.

Get up under the service of two little eunuchs.

Meet Gan Ning.

"Xingba, what happened to what I told you?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the last general has successfully completed what His Majesty told you!"

When Liu Zheng heard Gan Ning's words, he immediately smiled.

"Really, is the Han River already heading towards Fancheng?"

"Yes, the last general watched the flood pouring down with his own eyes, and went straight to Fancheng. For this reason, the last general stopped for a while on purpose."

"With the intensification of the flood, the gap for promotion has been washed away. According to this amount of water, it won't be long before Fancheng will become a vast ocean!"

Gan Ning told Liu Zheng what he saw, which made Liu Zheng even more excited.

Of course, regarding this kind of matter, Liu Zheng still told Gan Ning.

"Xingba, the matter is of great importance at this time, let your people be stricter, don't leak this matter, and unanimously declare to the outside world that the dam collapsed by itself."

Liu Zheng didn't want to bear such a bad name.

Gan Ning naturally understood, he had already told his people, don't ask if you shouldn't know.

What should not be said, naturally cannot be said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the people I'm going to dig the embankment this time are all cronies, and they will never leak the news. Even if it is leaked, it will only be blamed in the future, and they will definitely not get involved with Your Majesty."

"Okay then, let's wait for dawn."

"After dawn, everything will be clear."

As soon as the dam was dug, the floods poured in, and the enemy troops around Fancheng were either directly washed away by the flood or trapped in the city.

Liu Zheng can completely defeat the tens of thousands of troops in Fancheng without any effort.

Chapter 1000 Two hundred and 92 Flooded Fancheng

the next day.

The genius is bright.

Zhang Xiu, the defender of Fancheng, was already woken up by his soldiers.

"General! General! Something is wrong!"

Several personal soldiers hurried into Fancheng from the outside.

Ever since Guan Yu took his men to Xinye and asked Liu Bei about his next plans, the number of soldiers and horses stationed in Fancheng was not much.

Liu Bei's plan is to set off from Xinye, use the mobility of the cavalry to breathe in Runan, so that in just a few days, they can take down Runan and take the land of Yuzhou back from Liu Zheng's hands.

Even on the Jingzhou battlefield, they can't take advantage of it, but the surprise attack on Yuzhou and the alliance with Zhang Fei in Yanzhou can still make Liu Bei's attack this time play some role.

Therefore, only [-] infantry and Ma Teng's remaining [-] cavalry remained on Fancheng's side.

Guan Yu himself also went to attack Runan with the army, and Zhang Xiu was the only general stationed in Fancheng.

Zhang Xiu is the main general, and Ma Teng outside the city is the main general of the linkage.

At this time Zhang Xiu was still asleep, he was woken up by the sound outside the camp, and got up impatiently.

"What's the noise, what happened?"

After Zhang Xiu put on her clothes, she got up from the bed and looked directly at the soldiers outside.

At this moment, the soldier was sweating profusely. After rushing in, he faltered and began to reply to Zhang Xiu.

"General...General, Fancheng...Fancheng is surrounded by floods!"

"Big water? What big water?"

"The Hanshui dam was dug by someone, and the flood came directly to Fancheng!"

"what!"

At this time, after hearing the soldier's words, Zhang Xiu was shocked, and his whole face changed.

He walked out of the camp impatiently, then got on his horse, and without waiting for the soldier to say anything to him, he ran directly to the city gate and looked over.

But at this time, there was no need for him to look at it at all, because the surroundings of Fancheng had already been flooded, and some water had begun to seep into the city.

The original tunnels in the city were filled with water, and the road surface was covered by a layer of shallow water.

If the city has become like this, the situation outside the city is even more unoptimistic.

Seeing the appearance of the city, a trace of nervousness began to appear on Zhang Xiu's face. By the time he rode his horse and arrived at the tower, the sky had already begun to brighten.

He quickly climbed onto the tower and looked around.

This look made Zhang Xiu dumbfounded.

At this time, outside Fancheng City, there is already a vast ocean.

The water didn't flow all at once, but spread little by little, little by little, silently.

When the people in the city discovered that there was a flood outside the city, the people in the city could no longer leave the city surrounded by the flood.

After all, there are no ships in the city, and the waist-high water outside the city has already made the outside of the city a little scary. If you go out of the city, you may be submerged by the flood at any time.

Originally, there were some scattered trees outside of Fancheng, these small numbers are too small to be counted, but looking around now, there are only some leaves of these trees still protruding from the water.

The majestic flood poured from around Fancheng, forming a stream like a small river.

At this moment, Fancheng has become an isolated city.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Xiu was dumbfounded.

Immediately, he turned his head and asked a soldier guarding the city beside him.

"What's going on? Why was our Fancheng flooded overnight? What did you eat last night? Didn't you find out?"

Zhang Xiu's question, with an extremely angry tone, frightened the soldier so dumb that he didn't know how to answer for a while.

On the contrary, Cheng Yin, the defender on the city tower, immediately stood up and answered Zhang Xiu's words.

"General, it's not that we didn't notice it, but it was so dark last night that we couldn't notice it at all. We didn't see the changes outside the city until this morning."

Although Zhang Xiu was angry at the moment, but now everything had happened, even if he got angry again and got angry at his subordinates, there was no way to solve this problem.

"What should we do now? Is it feasible for the army to leave Fancheng and retreat to Xinye?"

Zhang Xiu asked Cheng Yin who was beside him.

Cheng Yin didn't have any good options at the moment. It was impossible to retreat for the time being. The flood was spreading, and it was unrealistic to leave at this moment.

They have no ships.

"General, I...we have nothing to do."

"You are as stupid as pigs. Of course there is nothing you can do. It's just nonsense to tell you. Hurry up and recruit the military adviser. I want to discuss matters with the military adviser!"

At this time, the military adviser in Fancheng was none other than Shi Tao, who was dispatched by Liu Bei from Xinye not long ago.

Zhang Xiu quickly returned to his barracks.

Found Shi Tao.

"Army...military division! Fa...a big event has happened!"

At this time, Zhang Xiu himself was already a little panicked. As the general, Zhang Xiu had already started to panic about what happened this time.

At this moment, Shi Tao's expression was gloomy. It had happened for so long, and as a military adviser, Shi Tao already knew what happened.

After seeing Zhang Xiu, Shi Tao restrained his expression.

"General, Fancheng is in danger!"

Shi Tao could see the danger in Fancheng.

"Military division, what should we do now!"

"In today's time, we can only stick to the city!"

Shi Tao didn't dare to say anything depressing. After all, there were still [-] troops in the city, so it wasn't that they were completely without confidence.

"Okay, stick to the city and wait and see what happens!"

"Our situation is not bad, I'm just worried about General Ma Teng!"

In Fancheng, although it was surrounded by water, at least the soldiers and horses were not in serious trouble. Now that the Han River is rushing in, the most dangerous thing is Ma Teng who is stationed outside the city.

Because of Ma Teng's troops, there is no city to defend.

If he is trapped in a low-lying place, I am afraid that the army will be washed away by the flood.

At this time, although Ma Teng was not washed away by the flood, he was not far away.

Last night's flood came, although Ma Teng noticed it very early, but the flood had already blocked the way, and these cavalry could not get away at all, so they could only find a high place to gather temporarily.

In the end, the [-] cavalry could only temporarily station on an unnamed hill outside Fancheng, hoping to wait for the flood to recede before trying to find a solution.

And Liu Zheng, how could he give them a chance?

In the early morning of the next day, the sky had just cleared up, and the water army led by Zu Lang ordered by Liu Zheng a few days ago had naturally appeared outside Xiangyang City.

Liu Zheng directly ordered Zu Lang to take Tai Shici and Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Fancheng again.

Chapter 1000 two hundred and 93

According to Liu Zheng's instructions, Zu Lang prepared a lot of extra ships in Xiangyang area in advance.

Liu Zheng's navy has been developing for ten years, since Liu Zheng was a bandit in Yichun County, Yuzhang County.

He started to develop his own navy, and now, it has developed into a powerful navy with thousands of warships.

In fact, boats, a means of transportation, have been used for a long time on the land of China.

According to the earliest records, it is estimated that in the Shang Dynasty, ships had already been used as a means of transportation for the army. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were water armies and warships in Wu and Chu.

In the Western Han Dynasty, warships were further developed, and the performance of the ships had gradually surpassed that of all countries in the world at that time, becoming the strongest naval force in the world at that time.
