The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 494
If Cao Ren really dared to lead an army across the Huaihe River to besiege Shouchun, then Gan Ning would immediately abandon Huai'an, return to the army to cut off Cao Ren's retreat, and then inform Ding Feng to abandon Guangling and besiege Cao Ren together.

Compared with Cao Ren, Zang Ba is nothing. As long as Cao Ren is killed and the Cao army in Yuzhou is wiped out, then Cao Wei will be completely messed up.Guangling was right there, and he couldn't run away. At worst, he would just fight again next time.

Cao Ren quickly marched to Huai'an along the Huaihe River, trying to open up the passage between Guangling, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou, but when he arrived in Huai'an, there was nothing he could do.

The reason why Gan Ning chose to capture Huai'an to cut off Guangling's retreat was because Huai'an was not far from Baima Lake. At this time, it was the rainy season, the lake was soaring, and everywhere was muddy, which greatly restricted the performance of the cavalry. Such an environment had no effect on the combat power of the Wuwei Battalion at all.

Zhang Fei defended the city in Huai'an, Wei Yan led the Wuwei Battalion and stationed outside the city against the city wall, and Gan Ning echoed each other on the White Horse Lake. There is no way.

In the end, Zang Ba abandoned the city and fled back to join Cao Ren by relying on his understanding of the terrain after decades of working on this land.

After the fall of Guangling, Cao Ren knew that it was useless to spend any time with the Chu army, so he divided his troops to defend Huaiyin and Xiacai, blocking the Chu army's way to go north to Qingzhou and west to Yuzhou, and planned to wait until the rainy season passed before making any calculations.

After Zhang Wu led his soldiers to dig the water reservoir, he took advantage of a cloudy day and began to use the skill "calling the wind and calling the rain". After this skill is upgraded, it can summon heavy rain.It rained heavily for three days in a row, causing flash floods, and the temporary embankment was almost unable to stop it.

Of course, that embankment can only be regarded as a "tofu dregs" project, it is impossible to stop all the floods, and more water flows along the valley to the direction of Guanzhong.

Zhang Wu also ordered trees to be cut down and placed on the downstream road.

Guo Huai led the army into the Qinling Mountains along the Chencang Road. The vanguard general Zhu Zan sent someone to report the situation. He said that the road ahead was somewhat muddy and difficult to walk. It seemed that there had been heavy rain in the mountains and there was a danger of flash floods.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, it is normal for a little rain in the mountains and forests. Guo Huaijiu led the army in Yongliang, so he is very familiar with the terrain and weather conditions in this area. Generally, the rain comes and goes quickly in this season, as long as it does not rain continuously That's fine.

Chencang Road is a relatively wide road, which is the only way from Guanzhong to Wudu. Although it is a bit difficult to walk after the rain, it does not affect the march of the army. On the contrary, it is much cooler after the rain, and there is no overwhelming dust on the ground. The soldiers All feel very relaxed.

When Cao Jun walked halfway through the Chencang Road in the Qinling Mountains, it suddenly began to rain again, and it became heavier and heavier. Guo Huai was about to order the soldiers to temporarily stop marching and move forward after the rain stopped. The voice came.

"What sound?" A soldier asked.

"Could it be the sound of thunder?"

"It doesn't sound like thunder, but it sounds like flood to me. My family lives by the Yellow River!"

"Flood? Not good! There's a flash flood!"

It turned out that after Zhang Wu discovered the whereabouts of Cao's army, he took advantage of the cloudy weather and used his skills to make it rain. Then he had people dig out the temporary dam and release water towards Cao Huai's army.

At this time, Cao Jun was in the valley, with dense forests and steep slopes on both sides. The mountain torrents rushed down along the Chencang Road. There were still a lot of trees and stones in the water. Soldiers and horses were killed by trees in the flood.

Due to the relatively wide Chencang Road, the flood passed quickly, and Cao Jun did not lose many soldiers. The main reason was that the forwards suffered a large loss, and the large troops in the rear were less affected, but half of the food and grass brought by the army were washed away. , the remaining half is also soaked wet.

The most important thing is that the road has been blocked, and the road ahead has become a swamp. The mud and water can reach people's knees. There are many trees lying on the road, which is very difficult to clean. It has been raining non-stop.

Guo Huai felt that this matter was very strange. First of all, according to his many years of experience, although it rains here in this season, it is impossible to store so much rainwater in terms of the terrain of this place, even if there is a mountain torrent. It’s so big; secondly, the trees on the road look like they were cut down by humans, which shows that someone deliberately piled up so many trees in the upper reaches of the mountain torrent, and then used the torrent to wash them down.

It must have been done by the Chu army. Guo Huai ordered the scouts to go to investigate. Sure enough, the scouts reported that the Chu army was guarding the main road ahead, and they were flying two large flags, one with the word "Chu" and the other with the word "Zhang". handsome flag.

It was Zhang Wu who came in person!
To this day, everyone in the world knows that Zhang Wu is brave and good at fighting. Since his rise, he has been invincible and invincible.In terms of heads-up, Xu Chu, Ma Chao and other fierce generals are not his opponents. In terms of leading troops to fight, even Cao Cao has been defeated by Zhang Wu many times.

Although Guo Huai can be regarded as a famous general, he is actually much worse than Xia Houyuan in terms of leading troops, and he is not as good as the five sons. In terms of strategy, he is even worse than Xun You, Jia Xu, and Sima Yi.

It can be said that no matter who it is, they will feel a little guilty when facing Zhang Wu on the battlefield. This is the person who is known as the "reincarnation of the overlord".

At this time, Zhu Zan, the vanguard general, said: "Commander, it is said that Zhang Wu has the ability to call wind and rain. This rain is really abnormal. Could it be..."

Guo Huai, as the governor of Yongzhou in the Wei State and the deputy governor of the military on the western front, has been regarded as a top figure in the Wei State until now. He also knows some top-secret information. He naturally knows about Zhang Wu's situation, and he knows it better than Zhu Zan. many.

In the two Hanshui battles that year, Cao Jun lost more than 20 elite soldiers. One of the reasons why Cao Jun suffered heavy losses was the southerly wind in winter.

In the Battle of Chibi, the Soochow navy was almost wiped out, and Cao Jun also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find out afterwards. The process here is even more magical.At that time, the southeast wind was originally blowing in spring, and the Dongwu navy set fire to burn the iron chain ships of the Jingzhou navy, but the southeast wind turned into a northwest wind immediately.

Just when the Soochow navy was almost playing with fire and set itself on fire, the northwest wind turned into a southeast wind again. It was like two gods standing on the east and west banks of the Yangtze River. You blow to me, and I blow to you!

Seeing that the Jingzhou navy was about to be burned by a fire, Zhang Wu was about to fall from the peak of his life to the eighteenth level of hell. Who knew that things would turn around again, and it would rain and the fireship would be extinguished. The morale of the Jingzhou navy would be greatly reduced. He was so excited that he drove the iron locks and boats to kill the Jiangdong navy. Even Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow, was seriously injured.

There are so many unbelievable things about Zhang Wu, and Guo Huai is not sure whether the information is true or not. Anyway, it is normal for something unusual to happen in the battle with Zhang Wu.

Moreover, as the king of a country, Zhang Wu actually came to the battlefield in person, so he must have a perfect strategy, because this guy is very cunning, he never fights uncertain battles, let alone put himself in danger.
