Chapter 26 It's Over
As night fell, the rain weakened, and the surroundings gradually became darker, and the Qi army camp became more and more crowded. Although the soldiers could not see clearly the situation outside, anyone knew that the situation was very dangerous.
Many people were surprised: It had rained heavily before, but why was it okay at that time, but now it suddenly became flooded?
The coach Duan Shao couldn't understand. He felt that the location of the camp was not only quite high, but also empty, and it was not a narrow place such as a valley. Why did it rain heavily before and there was no heavy flood? Now the water has come overnight.
The rain kept falling, the water level was still rising, and gradually, the crowd became more and more crowded, and a large number of horses were also transferred to high places to avoid water.
Duan Shao looked at the people and horses huddled together, feeling uneasy: It would be bad if the water rises like this!
There are several ownerless boats floating on the nearby water surface. They are ships built before. Now they are floating on the water, with the hull tilted. It seems that rainwater falls into the boat, and it accumulates in small amounts, so that the ship is overwhelmed.
Duan Shao looked at the ships and then looked at the soldiers crowded on the shore, choking speechlessly.
It was late at night and the rain became smaller, but it was still falling. The area of the camp was reduced by half compared to the morning. People who were crowded on the high ground were already standing in the water outside.
But the water level was still rising, and the camp was getting more and more crowded. By the time the east was white, the camp area was less than one-third of its original area.
At this time, the camp was crowded with people, and most of them could only stand and could not sit down.
People who were about to be flooded on the outside struggled to push upwards, and people began to fall into the water during the push, pull and trampling from time to time.
The rain continued to fall until dawn, around the hour of the year, the camp of tens of thousands of people was less than one-quarter of the original area, and the number was half smaller.
A large number of soldiers who could not stand on the shore struggled in the water.
They hadn't eaten decent food for a day, but they just slept in the mud for a while and were wet for a day and night, so they were tired, hungry, cold and afraid.
Due to normal physiological needs, the crowded shore is full of excrement, the smell is filled with mud and water, and flows everywhere. No matter the soldiers, they can struggle in this crowded and dirty environment.
Because most people don’t know how to water, people who soak in the water keep reaching out to grab it because of their fear of water and death.
Some people are constantly being pulled into the water, slid into the water, and after making waves, they gradually disappear.
The land exposed to the water was already crowded with people, and horses wandered in panic in the water. Some horses staggered into the water, causing a splash of water, and then there was no movement.
The land filled with people, with waves boiling around the edges. From a distance, it looks like a piece of black grease, bubbles constantly in the boiling water, gradually becoming smaller.
Duan Shao, who was soaked all over, looked at the vast ocean around him, listened to the wailing and shouting filled his ears, and was anxious.
He had been fighting for many years and knew that he would set up camp to prevent water attacks and floods. As a result, he was still flooded by day and night!
The higher terrain is all flooded, so the thousands of cavalrymen he arranged to wait outside to wait for the rabbit may not be able to escape.
These thousands of cavalry were all skilled in bows and horses. One fierce soldier who was able to beat the Liang army before he could even hit the Liang army, but he was soaked in the water and became a fish and turtle!
In less than three days, his tens of thousands of troops had collapsed, and the Liang army did not use any soldiers.
Before we knew it, the originally complete camp had been divided into several small islands by large water, and more and more people disappeared into the water, and the various "islands" were becoming more and more crowded, almost reaching the point of being one after another.
Many people are hungry because there is no place to make fire and cook rice. They are even said to have food, firewood, and cooking utensils in water, so there is no food to eat.
Not only that, everyone was wet, and when the wind blew, they shivered.
I didn't know how long it took, but it was about afternoon. It was already drizzling in the sky, and the dark clouds were getting whiter. It seemed that the rain was about to stop.
The area of each island is even smaller, and countless people have disappeared into the water.
At this moment, a tide of drums came from the water. Duan Shaoxun looked at him, but saw a large number of warships approaching Pengcheng.
The total number of Qi soldiers who lived in vain on several "small islands" was about two or three thousand. Everyone was wet and had few weapons. They could not resist these Liang soldiers who came on a boat and were good at fighting in the water.
Duan Shao looked at the warship gradually approaching, as if he saw a group of hungry wolves rushing into the sheep pen, opening their mouths, revealing their fangs.
At that moment, he suddenly realized how Hou Crooked fell into the hands of a young general in Liang State.
At the beginning, the news that Hou Jing was captured by the Liang army and was cut after parading the streets reached Yecheng. When Duan Shao learned about it, he sighed that the old wolf who had eaten sheep for the rest of his life was finally killed by a lamb.
Now it seems that it is not Hou Jing who is careless, but that his opponent is too cunning.
The one who killed the old wolf was not a lamb, but a poisonous snake!
It's over, now it's all over!
Thinking of this, Duan Shao felt sad and angry and touched the sword. The sword was well-made and was a good knife with iron-cut like mud.
If he was captured, he would be treated with courtesy. Since the other party did not kill the King of Qinghe, he would not kill him now.
However, he was a nobleman of the state and the leader of the generals of Jinyang. Once captured, he would not only lose his face, but also lose his face of the Duan family and the court, but also lose his cousin.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, he was hugged by his left and right: "Master Lang! If it doesn't matter, I will go and pull the boat over!"
Amid the drums, Liang's warships approached, and in the Qi army camp, the surviving Qi soldiers were confused. Now that things have come, they cannot win, either being captured or...
But I found someone going into the water, swam to the small boats, and rowed the boat back.
Many people seemed to see the hope of escaping from birth, and wanted to get on the boat, but were pushed away by someone, and then the two sides broke out in a fight.
But after hearing the screams, Duan Shao's troops drew their swords and cut them away with their bloody limbs and broken their arms, scaring away all those who wanted to seize the ship.
The ship was approaching, and the cabin was full of them. The leaders quickly scooped out water and asked Duan Shao to get on the boat.
The ship arrived and had hope of breaking through, but Duan Shao was unable to get excited.
Looking at the Liang army warships approaching quickly, I saw many fast ships, dozens of people paddling, and how many people could the small boat in front of me?
When many Qi soldiers saw that the boat was small, they were afraid that they would not be able to escape the pursuit of Liang's army, so they stopped thinking and saw those vicious troops gathered together and didn't know what to do.
After a brief chaos, they saw some people boarding these small boats and heading south. The people on the boat rowed hard, and the boat gradually got faster.
But the Liang army's warship was not slow, so they got closer. On one ship, Li Li, who personally led his troops to capture the prisoners, saw several small boats fleeing south with a telescope, and knew that there must be big fish on it.
Although I don’t know who the Dayu’s surname is, it is highly likely that it is Duan Shao, the commander of the Qi army. Li Li did not hesitate and looked at Wu Xiang beside him.
When Wu Xiang approached, Li Li whispered: "The one who ran away must be Duan Shao, don't keep any one, kill him."
Wu Xiang was stunned when he heard this, then nodded.
Li Li then ordered loudly: "Let the Clippers chase after me, no one is allowed to run!"
Wu Xiang promised to make arrangements, and Li Li continued to look at the boats with a telescope, expressionless.
The achievements of capturing and killing are always somewhat different.
If Duan Shao can be captured alive, then Qi will inevitably seek peace in the future. In this way, the fact that Qi and Liang allied together to attack Wei may be successful?
Perhaps it was just his wishful thinking, and the variables were still too big, so Li Li had his own plans.
Since Qi did not intend to negotiate or even form an alliance with Liang, he was determined to think about his future, so he had to do the best.
Li Li didn't know how important Duan Shao's status in Qi State was, but he felt that since Duan Shao was a "military boss", his status might be like Guan Yunchang's position in Shu Han.
Guan Yunchang was killed, and Uncle Liu led his troops to take revenge regardless of everything, so...
Those who watch the fun are not afraid of big things. Only when things get big can they catch fish in troubled waters.
