It rained all day and didn¡¯t stop until the next morning.
The valley where Liu Cong stationed his troops had fresh air and was very quiet.
After each tent was washed away by the rain, it looked brand new and spotless. The grass next to me is greener than yesterday, and there are many small flowers blooming in the grass.
Not far away, in Fangtang City, the city gate is open, but careful people may find that there are only people walking into the city today, but no one coming out of the city.
In a remote open space in the city, there are many camps stationed, and Liu Cong's army is here.
The whole city is not big, and it has been secretly controlled by the Han army since yesterday. Anyone who enters the city cannot go out again. And people who used to live in the city couldn't go out.
Of course there were some who went out. Although they were wearing common people's clothes, they were all scouts of the Han army.
"My lord, the scouts have come to report that Zhang Ni is already reorganizing his troops in Mianzhu City!" Deng Ai came to Liu Cong's commanding camp.
"Okay, let Liao Hua and Wang Ping follow the plan." Liu Cong's face was full of confidence.
"No!" Deng Ai immediately sent someone to inform Liao Hua and Wang Ping, asking them to lead two thousand soldiers and set off immediately.
"Have you found any experts in the city?" Liu Cong asked again.
"My lord, the spies we sent reported that Xiong has asked many residents in the city and no strangers have entered Mianzhu City recently."
"Oh?" Liu Cong frowned.
Zhang Yi, in previous history, was also a famous general in the late Shu Han Dynasty, but at this time he was only a county captain and did not have much experience. Even if he later followed Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei on several Northern Expeditions and made many military exploits, he was still in the middle range. It was still impossible to come up with such a strategy. Therefore, Liu Cong felt that Zhang Ni must have received guidance from an expert.
Liu Cong would never feel at ease unless he found this master.
"Could it be Zhang Yi's own plan?" Deng Ai said.
"No!" Liu Cong shook his head, "Zhang Yi is a general, but he is by no means a handsome man. It will not be easy for him to discover us, and it will be even more impossible for him to use his plan."
"Could that be the county magistrate of Mianzhu?"
"Who is the county magistrate of Mianzhu?"
"I heard it was called Dong He"
"Dong He, it turns out it's him!" Liu Cong suddenly understood.
"Does the lord know this Dong He?"
"Not bad!" Liu Cong nodded, how could he not know about Dong He? In previous history, his son Dong Yun, Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi were collectively known as the Four Prime Ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty.
"Is this Dong He also a great talent?" Deng Ai asked.
"Shi Zai is right, this man is a great talent!" Liu Cong was very happy to meet Dong He here. It seems that Dong Yun will definitely not be able to escape in the future. "This Dong He was originally from Nanjun, Jingzhou. A native of Zhijiang, it is a pity that the officialdom of Jingzhou was controlled by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue. Dong He moved his family westward to Yizhou because he had no talent. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, did not know talent and only gave him a county magistrate."
"Don't worry, my lord, Dong He will be captured alive in the end!" Of course Deng Ai understood what Liu Cong was thinking, how could he let such a man go?
"Okay, you immediately organize your troops and horses. When Zhang Yi breaks the dike and releases the water, we will go to Mianzhu immediately."
"No!"
There was also a tense scene in Mianzhu City.
Zhang Yi had already assembled the three thousand county soldiers. He checked the soldiers' equipment one by one. Five hundred of them were crossbowmen.
There were originally not so many crossbowmen among the three thousand county soldiers, but Zhang Ni took out all the bows and arrows in the arsenal, and asked those who could shoot arrows to serve as crossbowmen. Because when the water rushes, the Han army will inevitably flee in all directions, and bows and arrows will be most effective at that time.
"In the county magistrate's house, Dong He was reading a book. But he was also very excited at this time. He came to Yizhou from Jingzhou just to give full play to his talents. It's a pity that he has been the county magistrate all these years. He thinks that he is a county guard at the very least, but he just doesn't have the chance to show off!
Now we finally have a chance. Once Deng Ai's five thousand soldiers and horses are completely wiped out, no one in Shu will dare to look down on him.
"My lord, the county captain has already set off!" A servant came in to report.
"Okay, let's make arrangements and prepare for a celebration banquet!"
"No!"
Zhang Yi led three thousand soldiers and horses out of Mianzhu City and reached the mouth of the river valley. He divided his soldiers into two teams, each with 250 crossbowmen, and set ambush on both sides of the river valley to get out of the way of the river.
Waiting was very painful, and Zhang Ni felt his heart beating rapidly.
¡°Rumble¡¡±
I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but suddenly I heard a rumbling sound in the distance.
Zhang Yi almost jumped up with excitement.
"Let's release the water!" Finally, the soldiers broke open the dam upstream.
As the saying goes, water and fire have no mercy. In the blink of an eye, the flood was almost in front of us. The sound of the rolling waves became louder and louder, and you could even see the rising waves.
"Crossbowmen prepare!"
Zhang Yi gave the order, and the crossbowman immediately put the arrow on the string.
The flood was immediately in front of us, and the tents where the Han army camped were floating on the water.
Zhang Yi was so excited that he raised the sword in his hand high.
"Strange?" Zhang Ni soon became confused. Why were there only tents on the water? What if there are no Han soldiers? Even if the water is not big enough to wash away all the soldiers, it is impossible not to leave them alone! Moreover, no Han soldiers were seen fleeing along the mountain roads on both sides, and no panicked shouts were heard.
In less than half an hour, the water had finished flowing. Because the river had a certain slope, except for some water accumulation in some places in the valley, sand and gravel were exposed in other places.
Some tents were hung on the branches on both sides, or on the boulders in the middle of the river. There was not a single body or weapon.
Zhang Yi looked at all this and suddenly felt something bad.
"No, I fell into a trap!"
There were obviously no Han troops in the river valley. So where did the Han army go? There is only one possibility, and that is to take the opportunity to seize Mianzhu City.
There is not a single soldier in the city at this time, only the county magistrate Dong He. Isn¡¯t it dangerous?
"Hurry, go back to the city!"
"Kill!" Before the soldiers ambushing on both sides of the river had time to stand up, a cry of killing came, followed by a group of soldiers and horses, rushing down from the mountains on both sides, blocking their way. The first two young players are Liao Hua and Wang Ping.
"Zhang Yi, you have fallen into my lord's scheme. You can't escape today, so you'd better just surrender and capture him!" Wang Ping swung the sword in his hand and shouted loudly.
Although Zhang Yi was shocked, she did not panic. Seeing that there were not many soldiers under Wang Ping and Liao Hua, she loudly ordered, "Quick, rush over!"
"Kill!" the Shu army shouted and charged forward.
But what greeted them was an airtight rain of arrows. In an instant, a large number of Shu soldiers fell down. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
