Chapter 446 Flooded Seven Armies (24)

When he returned to the base camp, Cheng He happened to meet Pang De's patrol camp.

Cheng He was scolded by Yu Jin, and was resentful and told Pang De that he was complaining:

"Seeing the heavy rain, the Jingzhou army was rectifying the ships again. I kindly went to remind General Yu to move his camp to a high place to guard against Guan Yu's water attack, but he scolded him."

Pang De looked at the hazy night outside and it was drizzling. Although it was not too heavy, he couldn't hold back the next one. It was the fifth day.

He looked at the ground again. The water was already quite shallow and would soon spread into the tent. He was also a little worried that the military camp would be flooded, so he comforted Cheng Hedao:

"You are very aware of what you see. General Yu refused to move his troops. Our army camp was at the lowest point of the valley. Even if it was not flooded, it would be too wet. I will move my army to a high place tomorrow."

Pang De's plan was decided, so he notified his 5,000 troops to pack up his things overnight and waited for the camp to move tomorrow morning.

Who knew that the weather was not good, it was a storm at night.

Pang De sat in the tent, seeing that the flood had already flowed into the tent for several inches, although he was anxious, he could only wait until dawn before making plans.

After finally ending until dawn, the heavy rain did not stop, but instead it tended to get heavier and heavier. The water in the tent also rose to more than a foot, and Pang De was secretly worried.

Sure enough, at noon, the light rain suddenly turned into a downpour. In less than a meal, the water on the tent floor was approaching my knees.

Pang De was thinking about whether to command people to go to the high place to hide, but suddenly he heard the sound of water outside, like thousands of horses racing, shaking the earth.

When Pang De heard the roar of the flood passing outside, he knew something was wrong. When he rushed out of the tent and started checking, the flood suddenly came from all directions.

In the seven camps of Cao's army, 50,000 people ran around, with those who followed the waves, countless people fell in the water, and shouts came one after another.

The good thing is that the imperial guards are strict in discipline. Under the command of the generals, the soldiers supported each other and most of them walked safely to the high places of the nearby earthen mountains, and there were not many soldiers drowned by the water.

Yu Jin, Pang De and the generals also climbed the nearby hills to avoid the water. Most of the troops did not have armor piercing, but were carrying weapons and stood on dozens of earthen mountains of different sizes.

When the heavy rain stopped, the ground water depth had exceeded one meter, which was no different from the river water. Yu Jin and everyone squeezed on those earthen mountains, with no way around and no way to go, and they could not make fire to cook. It was a choking and cold.

Guan Yu prepared the ship and waited for a long time, but he would not miss the opportunity God created to give him. He led the generals to clamor and came here on a big ship.

Guan Yu personally led his troops. When he saw Yu Jin's general flag, he first went to the hill where Yu Jin was.

Yu Jin was soaked all over, and there were fifty or sixty guards on both sides. Seeing Guan Yu leading the navy, he was not expected to escape.

Yu Jin and Guan Yu are also old acquaintances. When Guan Yu was trapped in Tushan in Xuzhou, Zhang Liao pleaded with Cao Cao, and then Guan Yu surrendered to Cao Cao. At that time, Yu Jin was also present and knew about Guan Yu’s three rules.

Now he is desperate, and Yu Jin has no choice but to surrender. He said he is willing to lead the army to surrender to Guan Yu.

In order to maintain his last face, Yu Jin only put forward one condition, that is, Cao Ren, who was unwilling to lead the army to attack Fancheng, but was ruthlessly rejected by Guan Yu.

Yu Jin was silent and knew that resistance was useless, so he had to let Guan Yu's subordinates take off all their clothes and armor and detain them for the ship.

After capturing Yu Jin, the seven armies had no heads. In order to survive, the soldiers trapped on the mountain surrendered one after another. They were detained by Guan Yu's army and transported away by large ships.

In the end, only the hill where Ponde is located is left, and hundreds of people are trapped.

Pang De and Chenghe, and 500 infantrymen, all had no armor and armour, and stood on the hillside with swords and guns in hand.

Guan Yu's navy, led by Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, besieged Pang De and others on a boat, and the archers on the boat shot arrows at them together.

Pang De led everyone to form a tight defensive formation, and everyone took turns to dial the arrows with weapons, but there were few casualties.

As more and more people were injured by arrows, a general under Pang De was scared. Seeing that Yu Jin and most of the soldiers had surrendered, he said to Pang De:

"The head coach General Yu Jin has already surrendered. We can only have a dead end if we resist, so we should surrender!"

Pang De scolded the general for not being ambitious, for fear that he would shake the morale of the army, so he drew his sword and cut him to death on the hillside without hesitation.

Pang De knew that he had expressed his determination to Cao Cao this time, and the situation was a bit big.

Now that the army is defeated, anyone can surrender, but he can only fight to the death.

Otherwise, he would become a joke. His whole family in Xuchang will be unable to save his life.

Pang De did not want to be captured by his subordinates and presented it to Guan Yu, so he took the initiative to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Seeing that Pang De was so determined, the soldiers could not raise their desire to resist, so they had to follow him to fight the attack of the Jingzhou Army.

Pang Deqi shot well and took the bow and arrow back without panic. His archery skills were very good, and many Jingzhou troops were shot to death.

The two sides fought from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon. After Pang De's arrow was finished, he asked the soldiers to draw out their short swords to fight together.

He said to the soldiers around him:

"I heard that good generals would not escape for fear of death, and martyrs would not lose their fortunes to survive. Today is the day for me to die."

At this time, the flood was rising higher and higher, and people around Pang De were constantly being shot and fell down. Pang De finally could not restrain everyone. They all moved away from Pang De and threw away their weapons and surrendered.

Pang De didn't want to wait for death. He took advantage of the chaos and brought three trusted guards who could row boats and snatched a small boat from the Jingzhou soldiers. The three of them rowed hard, trying to escape to Fancheng.

Unexpectedly, Pang De had been staring by Zhou Cang. When he saw him walking on a small boat, he directly supported the raft and knocked the boat over and Pang De fell into the water.

Zhou Cang was so brave that Pang De was brave enough to know that it was difficult to capture him on the shore, and he was waiting for his chance to get on the boat.

Zhou Cang knew the nature of water before, and lived in Jingzhou for several years, becoming more and more mature; he was also extremely powerful and was also a powerful general in the water.

Pang De didn't know the nature of water. After falling into the water, he flapped his sword and threw it there. He had long since left the steel knife in his hand. He drank a stomach full of water and was so choked that he was caught by Zhou Cang empty-handed.

Yu Jin led the seven armies, more than 50,000 troops, and 30% died in the water.

The other soldiers who evaded and helped Huishui in time were desperate and surrendered.

Seeing that Yu Jin's seven armies were wiped out, Guan Yu was in a good mood and ordered his soldiers to bring Pang De back to the camp.

Although Guan Yu wanted to kill Pang De to avenge a single arrow, killing prisoners was not a good reputation. Moreover, Pang De's brother was an official in Xichuan, so he patiently persuaded Pang De to surrender with kind words.

Pang De was captured by Zhou Cang and had already had the ambition to die. Naturally, he would not pretend to be rude to Guan Yu, scolding Guan Yu, and said:

"The King of Wei has a million troops in his hands, which is awesome; and your master Liu Bei is just a mediocre person and has no decent achievements in the country. How can he fight against the King of Wei? I would rather be a ghost of the country than be your general!"
