Chapter 130 Desperate

(Thank you for the reward of Feihong Shangren and Setter 99)

Flooded in Hunan!

These four words, like a thunderbolt, hit everyone's mind in an instant, and everyone felt a few drops of cold sweat on their backs.

Linxiang City is built according to the city, which not only has the advantages of convenient transportation, but also has unavoidable hidden dangers.

Now that the spring is gone to the summer solstice, the rainstorm suddenly comes, and the Xiangshui will naturally skyrocket. Among the people present, there are many natives like Huang Zhong. Of course, they know the severity of the flooding of Xiangshui. If Liu Bei takes the opportunity to dig the embankment and let the flood rush to the low-lying Linxiang City, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This Xu Yuanzhi, I said earlier that he was not an ordinary opponent. It turned out that he had come up with such a poisonous plan. His big water not only asked me to wait for my life, but also wanted the life of a life in Linxiang."

Liu Feng's emotion made everyone shudder more and more. Huang Zhong, who had always been calm, couldn't help rolling a cold sweat on his forehead at this time. He said anxiously, "A few years ago, the Xiang water soared and flooded Linxiang City, and hundreds of people died. If the river embankment was artificially dug, the power of the flood would be similar. Fortunately, the master penetrated Liu Bei's conspiracy in time. It should not be too late, so we should prepare for the response as soon as possible.

Liu Feng nodded and said, "The old general's words are reasonable. From now on, please go all out and strengthen the city defense in the starry night."

After the discussion on the same day, Liu Feng quickly arranged to temporarily recruit young and strong men in the city, drag the earth and carry the stones, thicken the four walls of Linxiang, and at the same time, check the leaks and fill the gaps, and repair the rifted walls in various places in time.

While rushing to construction in the city, the heavy rain for several days caused the Xiangshui to rise suddenly. Liu Bei's army stationed outside the city also gave up camouflage and seized the time to move the camp to the northwest highlands.

On this day, after a night of heavy rain, the rise of Xiangshui reached its peak in a year. At noon on this day, Liu Bei seized the opportunity and successfully dug the embankment on the east bank of Xiangshui. The soaring river immediately rushed to Linxiang City like a beast out of the sluice.

At this moment, Liu Feng had already stood at the west gate, wearing armor, fully armed and silently staring at the torrent like a group of beasts. The soldiers along the front line of the city were already ready, and they were equipped to respond to the flood at any time.

The rolling torrent is five feet deep, like a bear rock current, swallowing up everything that passes through.

Above the city, the soldiers who watched this terrible scene were all shocked by the power of nature.

500 steps, 300 steps, 200 steps.

Finally, after several miles of rush, the first wave of torrent, wrapped in mud and sand and broken trees, like a crazy bull, hit the city wall fiercely.

At the moment of impact, Liu Feng even felt a slight tremor under his feet, and the splashed water column was as high as several feet, losing all his armor.

Everyone coincidentally made a gesture of covering their faces and retreating, as if they were afraid that the flood could break through the city wall and engulf them together. However, after a moment of panic, their mood soon calmed down. Despite the fierce torrent, the city under their feet remained motionless.

Like everyone else, Liu Feng was secretly relieved and said loudly, "Don't relax. You should closely monitor all the walls. Once there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately."

After the impact of the flood peak, the turbulent water seemed to have weakened, but the surging flood soon soaked all sides of Xianglin in the water, and the height of the flood was also rising. It stopped when more than one person was high.

Liu Beiying in the west of the city.

Stationed at Yuyuanmen, looking at the surging flood under the hillside, Liu Bei stroked a few squills of thin beards, and his eyes surged with a little pride.

The battle that burned Yiyang made Liu Bei so embarrassed. Today, the water flooded Linxiang, and it was also a report.

It's just that Xu Shu around him didn't seem to be so excited.

"Why, can't Yuan Zhi bear it?" There is an outspoken meaning in Liu Bei's tone.

Xu Shu's heart was slightly shocked, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "How can I not bear it? I'm just thinking that Liu Feng is very smart. We besieged the city for three months without attacking. It is impossible for him not to see that we are going to flood Hunan. If so, he must be prepared in advance. With the current flood level, only I'm afraid it's not enough."

"Yuan Zhi means..."

In Xu Shu's eyes, the murderous spirit burst out: "I want to ask the lord to give the order to Yun Chang to rush to work in the starry night and widen the gap three times. We need a more violent flood."

So that's it.

A ferocious smile flashed in Liu Bei's eyes.

Five days later, with the full efforts of Guan Yu's navy, the gap of the embankment was dug from the original seven or eight feet to twenty or thirty feet. The more turbulent flood was poured into the flat ground with the power to devour everything, and the water level outside Linxiang City suddenly increased sharply.

The city of this era is no better than that of later generations. At this time, most of the cities were built of mud. Even if they were not washed away on the spot, under the soaking of water, the city walls were soon broken.

Although there was no large-scale collapse, the floods soaked into the city from cracks everywhere could not be curbed at all. Even if Liu Feng mobilized the civil forces of the whole city to make up for the east and west at night, it was still useless.

Fifteen days after flooding the city, Linxiang City is already three feet deep. Except for some people living in the highlands, almost every family is immersed in water, which is really miserable.

In the afternoon, Liu Feng returned to his Zhennan General's mansion with fatigue, and his face was stained with mud. A city wall in the southwest corner of the city showed signs of collapse under the flood. Liu Feng could only fight in person and tried his best to stop the flooding.

"The power of nature is really beyond the reach of human resources. Blocking a city wall is more tiring than a big battle. If it goes on like this, the situation will only become more and more unoptimistic."

Liu Feng sat weakly against the threshold and looked at the flood under the steps. The haze in his heart became thicker and thicker.

The sudden arrival of mountains and rivers is not lasting. As long as it lasts for a few more days, the flood will recedes sooner or later. Liu Feng is very clear about this. But after the flood, there will be a plague, which is the most fatal blow. At that time, the whole Linxiang City will become a vulnerable patient. As long as Liu Bei stretches out his finger and flicks it gently, he will fall to the ground.

Even Liu Feng, who is still confident on the surface, faintly feels in his heart at this moment that he seems to have been forced into a desperate situation.

"Desperate, desperate..."

He repeatedly said these two words in his mouth. Suddenly, Liu Feng's eyes were bright, as if the drowning man had caught a life-saving straw, extremely excited.

"At the time of Bachu, didn't Pang Tong give me a kit to open it when I was desperate, and there was a trick to save it?"

With this in mind, Liu Feng hurriedly found the hidden kit, took it apart, took out the silk book, and couldn't wait to look at it carefully.

The book in it was just a small word, but Liu Feng looked at it, but he laughed excitedly as if he had won the most treasure.

"So it is, so it is, hahaha--"
