Chapter 692 The rivers are surging!
The mountains and rivers are difficult to cross.
The mountains and rivers are like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.
On the top of the rocky mountain, a general focused his eagle eyes sharply, raised his bow and drew his arrow. The breeze blew, bringing with it a wisp of air. He slowly closed his eyes, and his heart was his eyes.
The arrow disappeared above the bowstring.
With the wind came the sound of an arrow flying, followed by a sharp pain.
Sun Jian looked at the arrow in disbelief as it flew through the air and pierced through his body. The sharp tip of the arrow went through his body, leaving only the feathers at the tail trembling slightly.
Large gulps of blood gushed out, and memories flooded into my mind like a kaleidoscope.
He was able to survive against Zhang Jue in the past, and was able to withstand several years of fierce battles, but why is he so ridiculous today?
The sage said that since ancient times, kings and tyrants have been blessed with good fortune. Unless they are at the end of their rope or encounter another person with good fortune, they can always turn misfortune into good fortune. This is a person with great fortune.
But now, I...
Is this my fate?
He held on and roared in a low voice, "Who...killed...me?"
But on the rocky mountain, a general roared like a tiger or a wolf, "Sun Jian, the one who killed you, Huang Zhong, is just an old soldier!"
Old soldier?
An invisible arrow penetrated three points of armor. How could this be an old soldier?
The majestic body fell down, and thousands of enemies died from one arrow, which was really ridiculous.
When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out, and all great achievements become empty!
Sun Jian's death was so hasty.
Beside Huang Zhong, even Kuai Yue of Jingzhou sighed: "That invincible warrior on the battlefield died from a single arrow. Isn't that absurd?
But considering his rebellious words and disrespectful actions, isn't it just a matter of time for him to end up like this? "
Huang Zhong was indifferent when he heard this. He slowly put away his bow and said, "My dear, what should we do next?"
How to do it?
Jingzhou is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
The four major families of Cai, Kuai, Huang and Pang have both top strategists and top military generals.
He just didn't want to be fully used by Liu Biao.
Kuai Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Of course, it is to destroy Sun Jian and his people and show the glory of Jingzhou."
After Sun Jian was killed, the Jingzhou army stationed in Jiangxia, under the leadership of Kuai Yue, decisively attacked Sun Jian's army, and generals such as Huang Zhong followed them.
The generals under Sun Jian were still in shock over Sun Jian's sudden death, and they argued over whether to support Sun Ben, the nephew of Sun Jian, or Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian. In the end, Huang Gai, an old minister of the Sun family, firmly pledged his allegiance to Sun Ce. The generals then followed Sun Ce, and Sun Ce obeyed Sun Ben's orders.
Wait for Huang Zhong to come and challenge.
It's really like when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other.
Seeing the murderer of his father right in front of him, Sun Ce became furious and rushed into battle with his spear in hand, demanding that Huang Zhong pay with his blood. However, Huang Zhong's bravery was even greater than Sun Ce's. After only a few dozen rounds, Sun Ce was at a disadvantage.
This time Sun Ce gritted his teeth!
When all of Sun Jian's old generals went into battle, Huang Zhong was naturally no match for them, so he led the Jingzhou army to slowly retreat. Sun Jian's army still carried out the plan that Sun Jian had made before his death, which was to capture Jiangxia County as their hiding place.
Huang Zhong naturally led his troops in pursuit. Seeing that Sun Jian's army had indeed caught up, Huang Zhong was overjoyed and continued to lure the enemy deeper into his territory!
Kuai Yue led a part of the army directly to the upper reaches of the Han River in Jiangxia County.
Now that Sun Jian was dead, the tide of the war shifted to the Jingzhou army. Sun Ben was bound to lose, and Kuai Yue was unwilling to waste time with him.
That night.
Dark clouds covered the sky, the stars disappeared, the bright moon was not visible, and a strong wind blew, carrying moisture with it, chilling and biting.
Soon, heavy rain fell from the sky, and every drop flowed into streams and even rivers. The water level rose rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the river dam, mud was splashing everywhere under the heavy rain. Kuai Yue looked at the timely heavy rain and laughed wildly amid the roar of thunder and lightning, "Right now, the dam has burst!"
The heaven and earth seemed to have fallen into silence, with only the lightning and thunder remaining. The lightning that cut through the sky for three thousand miles illuminated Kuai Yue's face as white as snow, and the next moment was followed by a roar that shocked the world.
Some soldiers who were unable to dodge fell directly to the ground, then slipped into the water and were almost swallowed up instantly.
Human power is sometimes limited, but nature is supreme and great!
Looking at the raging torrent like a dragon, Kuai Yue could already imagine the tragic scene that Sun Jian's army would encounter at the bottom of the river.
Not just Sun Jian’s army!
The same is true for Yuan Shu’s army stationed in Jiangxia County!
Sun Ben led his army to confront Huang Zhong. It was raining heavily, the wind was howling, and the rain and fog were so thick that he could not see or hear anything. In addition, he was very likely to catch a cold in the cold rain and strong wind. He concluded that he could not fight, so he closed the camp and waited for the heavy rain to pass before attacking.
But in this heavy rain, news came.
There are signs that the Jingzhou army is being mobilized!
Crazy!
This was everyone's first reaction. There were night attacks on snowy nights in this world, but there was definitely no attack on a camp in the middle of a storm.
What is the Jingzhou army going to do?
Sun Ben summoned all the generals, and they entered the tent in the heavy rain, all with puzzled looks on their faces.
The scout rushed in from outside the tent, all soaked with rain, and said, "General, the Jingzhou army seems to be running for their lives."
Retreat?
Sun Ce asked in confusion: "Why don't you wait until the rain stops before retreating?"
Compared to Sun Ce, the other people in the tent were smarter. They immediately seized on the scout's words about escaping and hurriedly asked in detail.
"General, the rain blocked my view, so I couldn't see clearly, but from what I saw through the rain, the Jingzhou troops left behind all their food, supplies, armor and weapons. They took nothing with them except their straw raincoats. This doesn't look like a retreat, but rather an escape after a defeat."
Weird!
This was everyone’s first reaction after hearing it.
Sun Ben paced back and forth hesitantly and said, "Although our army has achieved good results in recent days, the Jingzhou army is not completely defenseless.
This is inside Jingzhou. If they fight on their own land, they can defend the city and then use their food and supplies to exhaust us.
Why would they suddenly flee in disarray on a rainy night?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
There must be a conspiracy here.”
Sun Ce was quite gifted in fighting and immediately said, "Brother, could it be that you did this on purpose to lure the enemy deep into our territory so that our army can pursue them and then capture them all in one fell swoop?"
Everyone present was a veteran general, and even Sun Ce himself rejected this speculation, shaking his head and saying, "It's impossible. In this heavy rain, it's impossible for our army to leave the camp and chase after them.
Once the weather clears up, it will be even less likely to fall into our trap.
What is going on? "
Everyone was grumbling about this extremely strange thing. Sun Ce muttered softly, "It's not to lure the enemy deep into our territory. It's not to lure the enemy deep into our territory."
Sun Ce suddenly stopped there, countless emotions exploding in his mind, a chill rushed from his tailbone straight to his intuition, and his eyes suddenly turned to the feng shui map hanging in the tent.
boom!
Sun Ce opened the door curtain of the tent like a madman, looking at the endless heavy rain that seemed like it would never stop, his heart filled with despair.
He turned around and asked with a trembling voice: "Brother, fellow generals, if there is a flood in the upper reaches of the Han River, if it rains for several hours, if all the water flows along the tributaries behind our army, what will happen?
Lure the enemy deep into your territory!
How can this not be a way to lure the enemy deeper into our territory?"
boom!
This is the loud noise made when lightning thousands of miles away breaks through the night sky.
boom!
This was the huge shock that occurred after Sun Ce’s words resounded in everyone’s mind.
Everyone only felt golden flowers flashing in their eyes.
Sun Ben's face changed drastically, and almost instantly became like a blank sheet of paper.
What will happen?
Will die!
The whole army will be wiped out!
Since ancient times, the most tragic attacks have been water and fire attacks.
In the past, the Qin general Bai Qi took advantage of the Han River to break its dike, causing the area of Xiangfan today to become the land of the former Chu State with millions of corpses!
It was the battle with the highest number of casualties in history.
As for whether Sun Ce’s guess is true?
There is a 99% chance that it is true!
Huang Gai said directly in a muffled voice: "Young Master, you must leave here immediately, we all have to escape!"
Escape?
Sun Ben and Sun Ce both looked at Huang Gai. How could they escape in this situation?
The Jingzhou army must have been well prepared, which is why they were able to escape so smoothly.
Acting in such a hurry and in such heavy rain, it would be simply a dream to gather thousands of people to escape!
What Huang Gai meant by escaping is actually what the history books say as “escaping with one’s own body”!
Are all the wealth and foundation that the Sun family has worked so hard to accumulate over so many years going to be destroyed here?
Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone could even hear the sound of the surging water. The sound of the waves was so loud that it seemed to be able to destroy everything.
It is the sound of thunder in the sky and the waves in the rivers!
Sun Ce and others' expressions changed drastically. They knew that time was running out, so they left the tent together and fled with only a few hundred elite soldiers.
As for most of the soldiers in the camp, there was no chance to notify them and they could only watch them die.
The surging flood appeared before their eyes.
Houses, trees, mud, rocks, corpses, it seems that there is everything in there, and it was formed by the inclusion of countless things.
In the night of overwhelming rain, the white dragon formed by the waves carried the power to destroy the world and roared as it swallowed everything.
The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was enough to deafen everyone's ears.
Thousands or even more people were lost in the waves without even a scream.
Both noisy and quiet!
The people who were running away were trembling all over, and some of them even collapsed to the ground with their legs going weak, completely ignoring the icy mud and water on the ground.
At this point, they couldn't care less about these things.
Sun Ben's whole body was cold. All the accumulation of the Sun family over the years was almost lost in one day. No one knew how many members of the Sun family were killed in the flood. Now they were all finished.
Sun Ce looked at the camp that was destroyed by the flood in pain, and howled to the sky, venting his anger. He clenched his fists and pounded them on the ground, roaring: "I will avenge my father's murder today. I will lead the army to conquer Jingzhou. I will kill Liu Biao, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Huang Zhong, and make them regret what they did today."
Huang Gai pulled Sun Ce up from the ground, and with tears in his eyes he said, "Young Master, cheer up. The most urgent thing now is to find a place to shelter from the rain. Otherwise, once the rain stops and the wind and cold weather start again, everything will be over."
Wind chill!
When they heard this word, they couldn't help but feel a little scared. In this heavy rain, even with the raincoats, the biting cold could not be faked.
After the rain stops, some people will definitely catch a cold. There are no medicinal herbs here, and I don’t know how many people will die from it.
Especially warriors like Sun Ce, who appear to be strong and healthy, charging into battle and killing enemies, and extremely brave, but in fact, each of them suffers from internal injuries.
They generally die gradually in their fifties and do not live as long as those scholars.
The next day.
As expected, some people caught a cold, and they had to be separated one by one to prevent those who had not caught a cold from also catching it.
This is one of the methods for preventing colds that was spread throughout the world by Zhang Zhongjing, a descendant of the medical family, after he studied medicine in Zhaocheng.
No one in the world knows that Zhang Zhongjing is now serving as the deputy director in Zhaocheng, compiling the third edition of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases", eliminating those medicines with poor efficacy and completely solving the problem of wind-cold, which has plagued the world for thousands of years.
Luo Chu entered Jiangxia County.
The raging flood not only destroyed Sun Jian's army, but also took away at least 20,000 auxiliary troops and logistical troops of Yuan Shu, and also frightened Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong generals.
Everyone except Luo Chu felt their scalps tingling when they recalled that scene.
All of a sudden, all contempt for Jingzhou was put away, and even Lu Su said: "Although Liu Biao is a dog guarding the house, there are many heroes in Jingzhou, and we should not underestimate him!"
Sun Ce and others felt that there was no way to heaven and no door to earth. Yuan Shu and Sun Jian had fallen out, Liu Biao was an enemy, and Jiangdong was also an enemy. They really didn't know where to go.
While everyone was hesitating, Sun Ce said again, "Why not go and seek refuge with Yuan Shu? Although Yuan Shu and my father have had many disagreements, they still have some affection for each other. Besides, he is a proud man. If I, a junior, go and seek refuge with him, even if he is dissatisfied with my father, he will not show it."
Sun Ce knew Yuan Shu quite well, but everyone was still very hesitant, mainly because they didn't know how much Yuan Shu had done in this war.
Wouldn't it be walking into a trap if we rashly go there for refuge?
Sun Ben looked into the distance and said softly, "We may not have the chance to go and join Yuan Shu."
They all looked back and saw large ships on the river with letters to the governor of Yangzhou. They immediately became alert as if they were facing a great enemy.
But when he looked at the people on the big ship and then at himself, he suddenly felt despair. He didn't expect that he could escape the flood, but would die at the moment of joy after surviving the disaster.
Luo Chu and others naturally also saw Sun Ce and others. A glimmer of light flashed in Lu Su's eyes. After planning for so long, he finally saw the light.
Sun Jian is dead, so his subordinates will be taken over by Jiangdong.
As for Sun Ben and Sun Ce, Lu Su frowned slightly. It would be best to find an opportunity to kill them, but with Zhou Yu around, it might not be easy to do so.
"Mr. Chu, are you willing to have a word with me in person?"
Zhou Tai on the boat shouted loudly.
————
When Jian's army was defeated, all the soldiers died. Only my son, Zi Ce and other generals survived. Chu entered Jiangxia and showed Kuanbo. All the people burst into tears and said, "We are wandering and have not met a wise leader. I am grateful that you have not abandoned us. We are willing to bow our heads and serve in Jiangdong."
Chu smiled and accepted it. ——"The Book of Wu·The Family of the Duke of Yuzhang"
