    The general in military uniform rushed straight into the central hall of the prefect's mansion like crazy, overthrew the attendant who tried to stop him, and threw himself to the ground: "Lord! Something happened!"

    "What!?" Liu Bei stood up suddenly.

    The general was sweating profusely and said in a hoarse voice: "Lord, water! Cao Jun dug up the Zhang River embankment and released water to flood the city!"

    After days of heavy rain, Liu Bei was not unprepared for Cao Cao's siege strategy, but when he suddenly heard the news, Liu Bei couldn't help but take a step back in shock and shuddered.  Taking two deep breaths, Liu Bei calmed down a little, and shouted in a low voice with no expression on his face: "Why panic? Send an order to the whole army to go to the city to defend. I will be there soon!"

    "Brother! Brother!" Zhang Fei rushed in with a snake spear that was eight feet tall, and knocked the general who was about to go out to deliver the order to the ground.

    Zhang Fei¡¯s eyes widened and he was about to get angry, but was stopped by Liu Bei¡¯s fierce wave of his hand.  Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, come with me to the city to defend!" After saying that, he picked up his sword and strode out. The attendant held his armor and chased after him in small steps: "My lord, wear armor, wear armor!  "

    Liu Bei stepped out and found that the water was already up to his knees. The prefect's mansion in Yecheng was built high up in the city. At this moment, the water here was already so deep, and it was conceivable that it was in other places in the city.  Liu Bei hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped towards the city wall.  By the time he got to the city, Yecheng was already filled with white waves.

    "Brother, what should we do?" Guan Yu approached Liu Bei and asked in a low voice.

    Liu Bei closed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment: "With our current military strength, is it still enough to defend Ye City?"

    "Guarding Ye City shouldn't be a problem. With the danger of Ye City, Cao Cao has no chance of winning by taking advantage of the water to attack." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "It's just that the food in the city may not last long, and after being soaked in water  It will inevitably go bad"

    "Cao Cao must have taken all of this into account." Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, "In terms of strategy and power, I am indeed not as good as him."

    "No matter what his plans or tactics are, if the Cao thieves dare to lead troops to attack the city, I will let them all lie dead under the city!" Zhang Fei shook the spear in his hand and said loudly.

    "Stupid!" Liu Bei shouted in a low voice, "Cao Cao has already seized the opportunity at this time, and the morale of the army and the people in the city has also been weakened. Why should we fight him now? Do you still think we have suffered a small loss from Cao Cao?"

    "Then what brother means is"

    "When the water outside the city recedes, we will abandon the city and break out!" Liu Bei's eyes twitched hard twice, "As long as we return to Youzhou, with the strength of Youzhou and the two states, we still have the capital to fight!"

    "Abandon the city and break out of the siege?" Guan Yu was surprised. Surrounded by Cao Bing's iron barrels, the infantry had no way to fight their way out. Even the cavalry, I am afraid only a small part could escape.

    "Brother, what about the other soldiers" Guan Yu couldn't help but remind him.

    "Now it's doubtful whether we can successfully break out of the encirclement, so who cares about the others?" Liu Bei gritted his teeth, "As long as we can successfully escape from the encirclement, we will still give them a chance to take revenge!"

    ¡°Brother, look quickly!¡± Zhang Fei pointed outside and shouted.

    Liu Bei looked outside the city and saw huge siege equipment being pushed up by Cao Jun to a high place that was not flooded.

    "What is this?" Liu Bei asked in a low voice, "It's neither a well or a chariot. How can we attack a city from such a distance?"

    "This is a thunder chariot. Sun Ce of Jiangdong once used it in battle." Guan Yu explained to Liu Bei, "This chariot can shoot rocks weighing a thousand kilograms. It has huge lethality and is also impressive in its momentum. It is a weapon for attacking cities.  .¡±

    "Cao Cao wants to use this thing to blast through the city wall?" Liu Bei asked.

    "The city wall is soaked in water, and I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand the bombardment of the Thunder Cart."

    Cao Jun parked the Thunder Chariot at a high place. Dozens of soldiers used all their strength to pull down the long arm of the Thunder Chariot. The other sergeants were busy placing a huge stone on the throwing arm of the Thunder Chariot.

    Cao Cao finally appeared in view on his war horse. He cupped his fists slightly in salute to Liu Bei on the city, and then waved his riding whip forward. With a thunderous sound, dozens of stones broke through the air.  He rose up and smashed against the city wall of Yecheng.

    Several boulders hit the outer wall of the Yecheng city wall heavily, and the broken stone fragments flew everywhere. The huge impact made Liu Bei feel that the city wall under his feet was shaking, and a boulder flew up to the top of the city, knocking him down.  Several defensive sergeants were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and the scene was bloody and terrifying.  The thunder carts in the distance are still firing, huge stones are falling from the sky like meteors, and the iron city gate has been twisted and deformed by the constant bombardment.

    "Brother, the city gate is fastIf it is going to be breached, it is better to prepare for a breakout early.  "Guan Yu reminded.

    "Ye City is surrounded by a vast ocean. Even if we break through, we have to wait until the water recedes." Liu Bei's face was ugly, but he still showed a perseverance. "Instruct the three armies to eat well and feed the horses. Just wait until the water recedes."  Then go out of the city and fight Cao Jun!"

    On the seventh night of February in the fourth year of Jian'an, we were in Yecheng.

    Within a few days, the solid city walls of Ye City were completely devastated by huge rocks. Liu Bei only managed to hold on to the city gate with his strong bow and crossbow. However, once the water receded completely, Cao Cao ordered the infantry to attack the city, and Ye City fell.  It's just a matter of time, so tonight is Liu Bei's last chance.  Although the water in the city is still several feet deep, it can no longer hinder the progress of the cavalry.  Liu Bei rode on his mount and drew out his two swords from his waist. He swung the sword out of thin air, and the sharp blade whistled in the wind.  Zhang Fei carried a Zhangba snake spear and led the most elite Yanyun cavalry to guard Liu Bei. More sergeants, under the command of Guan Yu, wore armor and climbed onto the remaining bad horses, donkeys and mules in the city.  Then line up.

    "Cao Cao is really my destined enemy." Liu Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly, then slowly raised the sword in his hand and swung it forward fiercely.

    The soldier holding the flag raised the flag high, and the golden Liu characters fluttered in the air. The four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Yecheng were opened at the same time. Countless sergeants poured out of the city on horses and rushed towards Cao Jun's defensive line.  The archers standing in the front row of Cao's army shot the first arrow at the same time. In an instant, hundreds of people fell off their horses, but the cavalry who followed were not moved at all. They jumped over the corpses in front and continued to charge forward, facing them with their flesh and blood.  Advancing with a dense rain of arrows, they rushed into Cao Jun's army at the cost of thousands of lives, and started a hand-to-hand battle with Cao Jun's infantry. The shouts of killing in the sky annihilated everything, and the outside of Yecheng instantly became a  Roaring hell.
