Chapter 341 Making Bicycles(2/2)
"It should be noted that in this world, in addition to interests, what is more important is the human heart. If you are willing to be a treacherous villain, how can you live up to the lord's respect?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that if this battle cannot relieve my lord's worries and I am despised by others, then I would rather die under Xia Houchun's sword, which will be regarded as fulfilling my lord's kindness to me!"
If Zang Ba just wanted to persuade the soldiers to join him at the beginning, then in the end, it was his true feelings.
He knows how much he weighs. If it weren't for Xi Yu, there wouldn't be anyone in the world who could value him. He would have to recognize this love!
Seeing that Zang Ba spoke so sincerely, the soldiers around him didn't know what to say.
But no matter what he said, his powerful words finally attracted some soldiers.
The reason I wanted to quit before was because I lost two battles in a row, which made me feel depressed.
Now that they are no longer disturbed by those declining trends, everyone has gained a little more confidence after they all regrouped.
Soon he came to Puyang City again and burned all the granaries that had been piled up!
However, due to the continuous drizzle, it was not easy to burn out the surrounding Cao Wei camps if the fire was to burn brightly.
This time the surprise attack went so smoothly that when Xia Houchun woke up from his dream, he thought he had not woken up when he looked at the fire in the distance.
He never expected that Zang Ba, who had just suffered two defeats, could assemble an entire army in just one day and attack him again.
Who in the world would have the courage to attack the enemy again after suffering two defeats in a row?
It has to be said that Zang Ba's courage is really bold and indeed beyond everyone's expectations.
The fire broke out in the middle of the night. After Xia Houchun was woken up, he hurriedly called for people to put out the fire.
However, the newly harvested grain and grass could not be ignited because too much fuel had been poured on them. In the end, they could only watch the fruits of a day's hard work go up in flames.
On the contrary, the food and grass being used by the army did not suffer much loss because they were discovered in time.
But even so, part of the food and grass was destroyed, and even Zang Ba and others had already fled without a trace.
In anger, he decisively sent Yu Jin to lead his army into the mountains and forests, while he tried to fight Zang Ba in the plains who had escaped from the mountains and forests.
However, after Zang Ba hid in the mountains and forests, he refused to show up again, so Yu Jin could only play hide and seek with him in the mountains.
As for Xia Houchun, there was no chance for him to fight.
In desperation, he had no choice but to let Yu Jin continue to chase Zang Ba in the mountains and forests, while he led the army to collect grain with the people.
I don’t know when the heavy rain started, and it continued to pour.
This made the soldiers on both sides a little sad in the mountains and forests. The terrain in the mountains and forests was uneven and not suitable for marching. In addition, both sides were chasing each other. After spending a long time in the mountains and forests, they were all exhausted.
Unbearable.
Fortunately, Zang Ba still had a lot of weapons and equipment around him. With the blessing of these weapons, Yu Jin was more or less restrained and returned without success.
It has to be said that since Zang Ba regrouped his men, their vitality and even explosive power seemed to have increased a lot in an instant, which gave Yu Jin a headache.
But at this time, Xia Houchun was unable to draw out his soldiers, and he was unwilling to draw out his soldiers to come to help.
Because he felt that the more Zang Ba came here to cause trouble, the more difficult things would become.
Therefore, while the manpower is still sufficient, we only want to snatch the grain back to the granary. As long as we can gather all the people and even the army in the fertile fields in the shortest time, we can finish the harvest as quickly as possible.
When it ends, it will be the day of your own counterattack!
His idea was good, but...at night, things suddenly became not simple.
That night, Xiahou Chun ordered his soldiers to fight at night in the fields with torches and lanterns, grabbing grain. Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound.
At first, the voice was quite distant, and he didn't pay attention to it.
But soon, the sound came from far away to near, and the sound was so loud that it was horrifying.
Then, the earth began to tremble uncontrollably. Not only did the people around him feel panic, but even the soldiers were at a loss and didn't know what was going on.
About half a cup of tea later, the people closest to the river suddenly let out bursts of screams, and then the sound disappeared.
The people a little behind seemed to have seen something unbelievable, dropped the food and tools in their hands, turned around and ran away.
At the end, the civilian soldiers who still didn't know what happened were still staring in the direction of the screams. The next second, the flood like a turbulent wave came into view like a man-eating beast.
Everyone's faces turned pale with fright, and their legs couldn't stop trembling.
The unbridled flow of the flood broke down the banks, destroyed the fields being harvested, and even wiped out the lives of those who had been swept inside.
Of course, the most important thing is that it wiped out the originally lively harvest scene.
Endless floods flowed from top to bottom, destroying countless fertile fields and lives in the blink of an eye.
After Xia Houchun saw clearly what was coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted: "Run, what are you doing standing still? Run to higher ground!"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly! Return to the city!"
"The flood is coming, run quickly!"
"Oh my God, go back to Puyang City quickly!"
"······"
His words seemed to wake up everyone, and everyone, including the people and soldiers, panicked and fled in all directions.
Yu Jin and Zang Ba, who were still playing the trick of chasing each other on the mountains outside the city, saw this scene. Their expressions changed suddenly, and they immediately ignored the fight and retreated towards the rear.
How can they think about fighting at this moment?
Especially Yu Jin, after seeing the apocalyptic scene underground, he felt that his mind went blank, his whole body felt as if he had eaten shit, and his expression was extremely ugly.
As early as when he first came to Dongjun, he had already reminded Xia Houchun that there was a problem with the water level of the river and asked him to go upstream to investigate carefully.
But who would have thought that the other party would not listen at all. Now that things are better, the flood is raging, and not everyone can afford this price!
