Chapter 130: The Flooding of Xiapi (2)

ps: Hmm, had a busy morning with classes and fell asleep right after lunch. Ended up dozing off with my roommates and slept through the afternoon class. Woke up at 8 pm feeling completely confused.

“哼哼,我午后查看了一下地形,下邳所处,正是一处凹地,有沂水泗水穿行。如今,正值隆冬,河水不急。何不趁机筑坝蓄水,待时机成熟之后,水淹下邳。到时候,任他多高城池,也不得用。”郭嘉看上去如同一只狡诈的狐狸,嘴角微翘。

"Building a dam to store water, flooding Xiapi?"

"Brilliant plan!"

However, although this is a brilliant plan, the drawbacks have been selectively ignored by the crowd.

————————————————————————————————————

In the winter, the earth is covered in a white blanket, snowflakes continuously fall from the sky, landing on Cao Cao and others. The pristine water droplets leave white marks on their black armor.

Cao Jun launched a full-scale attack, directly breaking through several Xuzhou military camps outside the city of Xiapi. Afterward, they surrounded Xiapi city and turned it into a completely isolated fortress. They also constructed several embankments along the Sishui and Yishui rivers.

"What is Cao Jun trying to do?" Tao Qian felt a constant cold sweat running down his back. He had a guess, but he dared not think further.

"Cao's troop must be planning to launch a water attack."

下邳城中的官员还是有几个有脑子的,立刻就反应过来曹军的目的。也是,制造堤坝还能干什么?总不能是为了防止春汛吧,何况现在里春天还早着,所以,只有一个可能性了。

Chen Deng was shocked in his heart. Guo Jia's decision this time is too ruthless. Although the city gates of Xiapi can hold on for a while, they certainly cannot last long. Moreover, the soldiers and civilians in Xiapi will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the food soaked in water for a long time will also become moldy. Epidemics are also likely to occur.

To be honest, Guo Jia's viciousness has made Chen Deng somewhat hesitant. Are they really worth the attention of Cao Cao and Guo Jia?

Returning to his residence, Chen Deng immediately sought out his father Chen Gui, who had been hiding at home due to illness for several days. He anxiously asked his father, "Father, what should I do? Should I help the governor find a way to break through the dikes of the Cao army and reduce the casualties of the people in Xiapi City? Or should I continue assisting the Cao army and turn a blind eye to all of this?"

Although Chen Gui has always claimed to be seriously ill, in reality this old man is quite energetic and shows no sign of being sick. "My son, in this chaotic era, although you have some strategic wisdom, you are not a hero. Our Chen family cannot achieve extraordinary accomplishments. We should focus on safeguarding and expanding our family business. Let's only occupy the city of Xiapi in Xuzhou. Whoever can help our Chen family further prosper, we will support them as the ruler of Xuzhou. Whether it is Tao Qian or Cao Cao, it doesn't matter. Whoever wins, whoever can bring benefits to our Chen family, will be the true ruler of Xuzhou, and we will be their most loyal followers!"

陈珪看出这乱世之中,他们陈家是当不了一方诸侯但是可以却可以成为一方地头蛇,他们就要陈家在下邳乃至徐州的地位。自己的长子陈登还是太年轻了,不够狠辣和果决。不过,自己应该还是能再活上个三、五年,希望他能成长起来吧,否则他们下邳陈氏哪怕投效了这位中原霸主也终归免不了没落的结果。

一月三十日,徐州军主动出击,下邳城守军倾巢而出,六万大军分成三路直奔曹军设置的三处堤坝。

“杀啊!保卫下邳城!”

"Destroy the dam of the Cao army! We must not let them launch a water attack!"

徐州军守军的倾巢而出倒是令本来以为胜券在握的曹军有些措手不及。说实话,连曹操、郭嘉、荀攸、戏志才等人都没有想到这一点。在他们看来,陶谦纯粹糊涂软蛋一个,怎么可能有这个胆子和魄力出城一战。

"In the end, it was still careless. This journey has been too smooth," sighed Guo Jia, even he was careless this time.

Cao Cao's face was very poor, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere in the entire central military tent was very gloomy, like the calm before a storm. Although it was quiet, it brought tremendous pressure.

@@"How is the situation on the battlefield?" Cao Cao is now in a state of extreme anger.

Xi Zhicai spoke up, "General Xiahou Dun has already led the troops to support the defenders at the dam. They should have already started fighting by now. The Bear Army, stationed relatively far away, should also be arriving soon."

Guo Jia added, "Just now, I also ordered you, Ming, to lead the Iron Guard to provide support."

On the battlefield, Xiahou Dun and Dian Wei were also furious. They had a great advantage and were certain of victory, but unexpectedly, Tao Qian took the initiative and caught them off guard!

Shame!

A great shame!

"Kill! Kill all those bunnies from Xuzhou! Let them know that the army of Cao cannot be provoked!"

"Attack! Iron-armored soldiers! Formation of Two Dragons emerging from Water, advance in the center, and form the Three Realms formation!"

The so-called "Heaven, Earth, and Man Formation" refers to attacking the head or tail of a linear formation, reversing the other end, and forming the formation of two dragons emerging from water. Moving forward in the middle creates the Heaven, Earth, and Man Formation.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

A long snake charges forward,

its front turning into two dragons.

In the middle stands a formidable army,

its versatile banner welcoming unpredictable changes.

Through Guo Jia's daily training, the Ironclad Army has become proficient in using ancient formations such as Crane Wing Formation, Fish Scale Formation, Flying Geese Formation, Crescent Moon Formation, Arrowhead Formation, Square and Circle Formation, Crossbow Formation, and Cone Formation, in addition to the Ten Great Formations.

The Ten Great Formations are as follows: the Single-file Serpent Formation, the Two-Dragons Emerging from the Water Formation, the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man Formation, the Four Doors with a Bottom Formation, the Five Tigers and Numerous Sheep Formation, the Six Dings and Six Jia Formation, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper Formation, the Eight Gates with Golden Locks Formation, the Nine Linked Rings Formation, and the Ten-Faced Ambush Formation. These ten formations can interconvert and have infinite variations. By attacking the head or tail of the Single-file Serpent Formation and reversing one end, the Two-Dragons Emerging from the Water Formation is formed. Moving forward in the middle creates the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man Formation. Retreating from both ends forms the Four Doors with a Bottom Formation, which can interweave and transform into the Five Tigers and Numerous Sheep Formation. Then, following the arrangement of the Six Dings and Six Jia, the Six Dings and Six Jia Formation is established. Subsequently, half of the formation forms a line (which can be changed as desired), while the other half acts like the Four Doors with a Bottom Formation, resulting in the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper Formation. Encircling the enemy, the formation is arranged in accordance with the Eight Trigrams, leaving eight exits and transforming into a square formation, namely the Eight Gates with Golden Locks Formation. By arranging the troops in the Nine Palaces formation, with each unit intersecting and gradually merging into one, the Nine Linked Rings Formation is achieved. Exhausting the enemy army through various hidden weapon traps leads to the Ten-Faced Ambush Formation.
