Chapter Five Hundred and Forty Nine: Flooded Linyuan City
Lu Bu returned with his troops, and everyone was in a very heavy mood.
Because this time, the people's soldiers were killed and injured, which was the most wars in all wars.
This time, more than 5,000 soldiers were killed or injured!
Well, although the enemies they killed were almost the same number.
However, the number of people's soldiers who went to fight had never reached a one-to-one level before.
Xun You, Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't help but apologize to Lu Bu: "Lord, this battle is our fault. Please punish me heavily."
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Before sending troops in this battle, you advise me to be cautious. I insist on sending troops. What's your fault? If you punish me, you should punish me."
Guo Jia said guiltily: "But facing the Eight Formation Map, my subordinates did not find a way to defeat the enemy. As a military advisor, my subordinates were ashamed."
Jia Xu also said: "I collected information and did not collect any news that Liu Bei had created the three-bow crossbow. Otherwise, we would not have suffered such heavy casualties this time."
Lu Bu laughed and said, "The Eight Formation Map is a battle formation developed by Zhuge Liang for all his efforts. How could it be broken so easily? As for the three-bow crossbow, it must be one of the most confidential news in Liu Bei's army, and it is normal not to be able to find out."
"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, not to mention that in this battle, the opponent's losses are not less than us! And this time, I realized the power of the Eight Formation Map, and when I encounter it again next time, we will have a better way to break the formation."
There is no invincible formation in this world. Next time you encounter the Eight Formation Diagram, you must break it.
Before I know your depth, I may suffer once.
After I understand your depth, you will no longer have any power to me.
Then, Lu Bu said: "Okay, let's study how to break through Linyuan City! This time, we not only want to break through Linyuan City, but also get their three-bow bed crossbow!"
Lu Bu was also envious of the three-bow crossbow.
Searching on modern Internet, of course you can find the production process of the three-bow bed crossbow, but these processes are too rough.
It will take some time to explore to make a three-bow crossbow based on those simple drawings.
There are ready-made ones in Linyuan City, why not use them?
Lu Bu also wanted to see how awesome Zhuge Liang is, and is there any difference between the three-bow bed crossbow he developed?
And Lu Bu felt that the three-bow crossbow should have been improved in one go.
If the difficulty of pulling the bow of the three-bow crossbow can be reduced, without thirty soldiers, you can use the power of mechanical stents and one soldier can operate it.
If a thousand three-bow crossbows were created, pulled by a war horse, and put down a soldier and fired it, think about how terrifying that scene was?
That power is definitely no less than the power of modern thermal weapons!
Just thinking about it makes me excited.
After hearing Lu Bu's words, Xun You, Guo Jia and Jia Xu couldn't help but think about it.
After thinking for a while, Jia Xu couldn't help but say to Lu Bu: "Lord, we can divert the Yuan River to flood Linyuan City! Under the soaking of the water, Linyuan City will collapse in at most three days, and Linyuan City will be destroyed without attacking it!"
After hearing Jia Xu's plan, Lu Bu couldn't help but look at Jia Xu.
Huo, this guy is worthy of being a poisonous man.
There have been many vicious plans in the original historical trajectory, and now it is no exception.
After thinking for a while, Lu Bu finally agreed to Jia Xu's solution.
There are now 15,000 defenders from Liu Bei in Linyuan City. If they attack hard, they will have three-bow crossbows. If they choose to attack hard, they will suffer heavy casualties.
This price was something that Lu Bu was unwilling to pay.
Although the strategy of flooding is a little vicious, as long as you can avoid less losses, you can only take this worst strategy.
As for the people in the city, we will rescue them then!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu began to prepare for attacking Linyuan City.
Lu Bu surrounded Linyuan City on three sides, leaving the only side for Chen Rang to break through.
Lu Bu sent 50,000 people's soldiers to divert the route to the Yuanshui River.
Linyuan City is located downstream of the Yuanshui River, and the terrain is lower than that of the Yuanshui River upstream.
Therefore, it is relatively easy to divert the Yuanshui River.
Of course, the project volume is still relatively large, but fortunately, Lu Bu brought enough manpower this time.
At the beginning, the river bank was built after the redirection was built, and the water was not released.
After a day and night of raid, the river embankment was finally renovated, and the river water could be reflowed and flowed to Linyuan City.
Next, the Yuanshui River is peeled off and the original circulation path is blocked.
This project was completed quickly without much effort.
Then, the Yuan River changed its route, and the endless river rushed down the new river channel, heading straight for Linyuan City.
Soon, the water from the Yuan River flowed under Linyuan City, and the water level became higher and higher.
The guards in Linyuan City were stunned when they saw this scene and couldn't help but curse Lu Bu in their hearts.
The people's soldiers are so cruel!
This is a trick to use! The kind that doesn’t have a son!
It's over, it's over!
Now the soldiers in Linyuan City began to despair. Linyuan City was destined to be unable to defend it!
The Yuan River flowed into Linyuan City, and the water level rose to its knees within one day.
It is still unknown whether the city wall can withstand the soaking of three days. Now, it has become a big problem for the soldiers and people in Linyuan City to eat.
The flood has already flooded to the knees and even the pot is flooded. How can I change my life and cook?
There are also grain and firewood, which are basically soaked. Even if there is a place to make a fire, it will not be lit at all!
The water level is still rising slowly, of course, even if it rises, it is extremely limited.
Because Lu Bu could not have the ability and blocked all the water in Linyuan City.
But even so, it would be enough for the defenders in Linyuan City to have a drink.
After seeing this situation, Chen Rang couldn't help but frown.
No, you must break through quickly!
The more you drag on it, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them.
Thinking of this, Chen Rang ordered his troops and quickly broke out from the north gate.
This time, Chen Rang directly pulled the three-bow crossbow, preparing to use the three-bow crossbow to open the way once Lu Bu blocked it.
This time, Lu Bu prepared a 50,000 army to chase Chen Rang from behind.
It is simply a breeze for a 50,000 army to chase and kill a team of 15,000 people.
As for the remaining soldiers, after Chen Rang abandoned the city, he had to reflow the Yuanshui river as soon as possible.
At the same time, we must appease the people in the city and help the people in the city resume normal life.
I'm afraid that some people's houses will be soaked and they must help them build houses.
In short, there are more people who leave behind the aftermath than chasing Chen Rang
