Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

The surging Yellow River water roared out like a wild beast unleashed, right before Cheng Yu's eyes.

The might of nature caused Cheng Yu and his three hundred trusted guards and overseers to pale slightly.

The many villagers of Dong'a, who had been digging the riverbank under Cheng Yu's urging and supervision, vanished almost instantly into the churning Yellow River, disappearing without a trace.

At that moment, humanity seemed so insignificant.

After a subconscious moment of fear, Cheng Yu was replaced by a slowly growing sense of satisfaction, as he whispered.

"Let those who insulted and slandered me in the past die here, it's letting them off too easily."

If Cheng Yu hadn't been short of manpower to breach the Yellow River, he would have turned all the villagers of Dong'a into jerky, to let them fully experience the taste of despair and terror.

"General, the breach in the Yellow River is still widening, it's too dangerous here."

A trusted subordinate, a 'grave robber commandant', standing behind Cheng Yu, reminded him in a low voice.

Now, Cao Cao's forces were extremely stretched, and Cheng Yu could only use this group of 'grave robber commandants'.

Moreover, the lives of these 'grave robber commandants' were all tied to Cao Cao and Cheng Yu's whim, and only by using these 'grave robber commandants' to supervise could Cheng Yu ensure that the breach of the Yellow River would not be revealed.

At the reminder of his trusted subordinate, Cheng Yu raised his head and looked towards the breach…

The night was hazy, and he couldn't see very clearly.

Cheng Yu simply grabbed a torch and threw it far towards the breach, using the fleeting light.

Cheng Yu's expression changed slightly, realizing that the breach was widening faster than he had imagined.

"Retreat quickly!"

Realizing that the position they were standing in might not be safe, Cheng Yu hurriedly lifted his robe and wanted to retreat a further distance to the side.

However, after Cheng Yu had only walked a hundred steps, figures shrouded in the night suddenly appeared from the front, blocking Cheng Yu's path.

Cheng Yu's heart was startled, and he questioned loudly.

"Who goes there?"

Immediately, the Cao soldiers behind Cheng Yu, who were in fact all 'tomb raiders', drew their weapons and became vigilant.

However, these 'tomb raiders' were just flashy scarecrows, who had never been on the battlefield or experienced combat, and could at most use their armor and weapons to scare civilians.

Facing the wary Cao soldiers, Sun Ce, soaked to the bone, walked forward step by step, his eyes like those of a predator.

Faced with the sudden flood, Taishi Ci fortunately remembered the location of the surrounding high ground in a hurry.

But even though Sun Ce led his cavalry to flee for their lives, more than half of the cavalry still failed to escape the rolling flood.

Now, besides Taishi Ci and Huang Gai, only a little over a hundred cavalrymen were following Sun Ce.

Cheng Yu, unaware of all this, had inadvertently revealed his position by lighting a torch in the night, thus informing Sun Ce of his location.

As warhorses had difficulty climbing the riverbank, Sun Ce led the hundred-odd remaining soldiers on foot to Cheng Yu's presence.

When Sun Ce's face gradually became clear in the torchlight, Cheng Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in shock.

"Why is Sun Ce here?"

"Since the villain recognizes my name, then die!"

Sun Ce roared violently, even momentarily suppressing the sound of the rushing river not far away, and charged towards Cheng Yu with his saber.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yu's face turned pale.

Even though Cheng Yu, as a scholar, practiced swordsmanship from time to time, and even had a certain chance of winning against three or five armored soldiers.

But in front of Sun Ce, Cheng Yu's martial prowess was undoubtedly as good as nothing.

"Quick, stop him!"

While Cheng Yu hurriedly directed his trusted subordinates on the left and right to step forward, he drew his sword and feigned a charge, but secretly retreated backward, trying to find an opportunity to escape under the cover of the night.

However, Sun Ce kept his eyes fixed on Cheng Yu, and charged straight towards Cheng Yu's direction, and the 'tomb raiders' who tried to stop him were simply no match for him.

Especially when Taishi Ci, Huang Gai, and more than a hundred elites behind Sun Ce also joined the battle, it almost formed a one-sided massacre.

The morale of the 'tomb raiders', who were not good at battle formations, collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they watched helplessly as more than 20% of their colleagues fell to the ground and died in an instant, and most of them were so frightened that they surrendered on the spot.

Cheng Yu, who had retreated to the rear and wanted to rush into the night to escape, was also kicked to the ground by Sun Ce, who had rushed up in great strides.

This angry kick seemed to kick Cheng Yu so hard that he almost passed out, and he vaguely felt pain in his internal organs.

"It must be you, this dog thief, who personally directed the breach of the Yellow River!"

Sun Ce did not recognize Cheng Yu, but it did not affect his judgment that this person in official robes must be the one who directed the breach of the Yellow River.

Immediately, the furious Sun Ce stepped on Cheng Yu's back, who was lying on the ground, and stepped on him like a dead dog, raising his saber and preparing to chop off Cheng Yu's head.

At the moment when the Ancient TIng Saber was about to fall, a short halberd blocked the blade from the side, and Taishi Ci hurriedly advised.

"General Bo Fu, do not harm his life!"

Sun Ce glared angrily and roared.

"It is not enough to appease the people's anger, and it is not enough to satisfy my will, if this dog thief is not killed."

Perhaps Sun Ce in the original trajectory could not be regarded as a benevolent ruler, but Sun Ce had been influenced by Liu Bei and Li Ji since he was a child, and his concepts had also been greatly affected invisibly.

Sun Ce was angry, but how could Taishi Ci not be angry?

As a native of Donglai, Qingzhou, breaching the Yellow River was tantamount to flooding Taishi Ci's hometown.

However, Taishi Ci, in addition to being angry, still calmly said.

"General Bo Fu, keeping this person may be of great use. Once he is killed, who else can prove that the breach of the Yellow River was instigated by Cao Thief?"

Hearing this, Sun Ce gradually calmed down and said angrily.

"Let this dog thief live a little longer! Come on, tie this guy up."

After tying up Cheng Yu, the remaining surrendered Cao soldiers were also handed over to Huang Gai for custody, while he led Taishi Ci and more than a dozen guards, holding torches, and walked to the breach of the river embankment in the dark.

Looking at the breach, which was gradually expanding to more than ten zhang wide in the night, Sun Ce's face looked particularly ugly.

Such a large breach, and such a turbulent river, it was simply a fool's dream to try to block it with only the hundred-odd people in Sun Ce's hands.

Moreover, the breach was still expanding…

Obviously, this was because Cheng Yu had thinned the river embankment around the breach in advance.

After Sun Ce risked his life to explore the area around the breach in the dark, he found that the Cao army had damaged the river embankment within a radius of at least twenty zhang around it.

In other words, this breach would eventually slowly expand to more than twenty zhang.

Twenty zhang…

Looking at the rolling river water pouring out of the breach, Sun Ce felt helpless and chilled to the bone.
