Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Four days later, when the dawn broke, on the vast plain seven miles east of Longle City, a mighty army consisting of 100,000 infantry and cavalry was advancing with a thunderous force.

The "Han" flag fluttered in the wind, and the young Han soldiers under its command, all of their past fatigue, were in high spirits and high-spirited.

Since they set foot on the land of Donghuang County, the invasion of wind and sand has become a thing of the past, and the lack of water has also been solved.

In addition, the thousands of cattle and sheep seized from Zhang Liao allowed the soldiers to have a full meal for many days, and their physical and mental state quickly returned to the peak.

Liu Bei personally led this army with a rekindled fighting spirit, cutting through thorns and thorns all the way, heading straight for Cao Cao's last line of defense - Longle City.

As the sun sets, the horizon is dyed golden. Ahead, shimmering waves can be seen. A river winding northward lies quietly in front, like the last natural moat.

On the other side of the river, a yellowish-brown city stands alone in the green fields. That is their goal - Longle City.

"Your Majesty, Longle City is ahead. Going west for only 70 miles, it is Yumeng Pass."

Zhang Liao pointed ahead, with a little emotion in his tone.

Liu Bei nodded slightly after hearing this, but asked:

"What is Cao Cao's current situation? Has he abandoned the city and fled?"

"Reporting to your majesty, Cao Cao did not flee, but led 10,000 soldiers and horses to hide in Longle City, intending to defend the city."

Chen Dao answered calmly.

After hearing this, Liu Bei smiled faintly:

"I was worried that he would escape. It would be best if he didn't."

"Pass the order down, the whole army will cross the river immediately, and Cao Cao and his remaining troops must be wiped out in Longle City in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles!"

The military order was as powerful as a mountain.

The army moved quickly, and the soldiers with high morale rushed straight to the Tangshui River.

However, when Liu Bei personally arrived at the river, he unexpectedly found that the river was extremely shallow and narrow, and it was almost impossible to submerge even the calves, and even children could wade across it easily.

"This river is so shallow that it is unbelievable. How can it be called a river?"

Taishi Ci couldn't help but exclaimed.

Ma Xiu said calmly: "Water is scarce here, and it is not the rainy season, so it is natural that the river is shallow and narrow."

Liu Bei waved his whip and shouted decisively:

"The shallow water is just right, saving a lot of trouble, the whole army will cross the river immediately!"

So, the 100,000 troops gathered on the east bank, and the 10,000 infantry led by Huang Zhong took the lead in wading across the river and quickly deployed on the west bank.

Then, the cavalry and the baggage team followed.

The whole process was orderly. In less than half an hour, more than 30,000 infantry successfully crossed the river and lined up on the west bank.

Liu Bei stopped by the river, looking at the sun gradually setting in the west, thinking that before dark, the army should be able to complete the siege of Longle City.

On the top of Longle City, Cao Cao was watching all this with cold eyes.

A cold smile hung on his lips:

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you finally fell into my trap." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Today, let you taste the fear!"

After that, Cao Cao gave an order, and the wolf smoke suddenly rose from the arrow tower in the southeast corner of Longle City, straight into the sky, and it was clearly visible within a radius of seven miles.

Liu Bei's sight was attracted by the sudden wolf smoke, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

He looked up in the direction of the wolf smoke, frowning, full of doubts.

At the same time, on the river beach seven miles upstream.

Xiahou Lie was paying close attention to the movements of Longle City.

He knew that the Tangshui River in front of him had been blocked by carefully arranged sandbags, and the water level in the upper reaches had overflowed the river channel and spread to the fields on both sides, causing the water level in the lower reaches to drop sharply.

When he saw the smoke rising above Longle City, Xiahou Lie's eyes flashed with determination.

He waved his gun without hesitation and shouted: "Your Majesty has ordered, quickly remove the sandbags!"

As the order was issued.

The Wei soldiers on both sides of the river acted quickly. They worked together to pull the ropes and remove the sandbags that blocked the river channel one by one.

In an instant, a gap was torn open on the temporary river dam.

The flood accumulated in the upper reaches rushed down like a wild horse, instantly breaking the river dam, turning into a rolling torrent, rushing downstream.

Xia Houlie looked at the surging flood and prayed silently in his heart:

"May Jia Wenhe's brilliant plan be successfully implemented, turn the tide of the war, and rewrite the world." []
