Chapter 226 I really want to drink honey water one more time (Yuan Shu's story ends)
Yuan Shu was lost in thought.
There was a "bang" sound.
The gourd tied to the warhorse suddenly fell off.
The gourd didn't contain wine, but rather honey water, or sugar water.
This was Yuan Shu's favorite drink, without exception.
Looking at the shattered gourd, Yuan Shu laughed and cursed:
"I can't even get honey water when I want to drink it, what bad luck!"
"However, my luck won't be that bad!"
Having said that, Yuan Shu stared straight at the mountain path not far away.
After a day of torrential rain, the mountain road had become extremely muddy.
In the past, Yuan Shu would not have endured such hardship in this kind of weather.
But who would believe it?
The once纨绔公子 (spoiled young master) has now braved the heavy rain to personally lead troops to destroy this dam.
After declaring himself emperor, Yuan Shu became even more reckless, but he also matured considerably.
He'll stop at nothing to win!
Due to the heavy rain, the water level of the embankment halfway up the mountain has risen significantly.
In addition, that dam was originally built for the Yuan family's countless fertile fields, and its water storage capacity is astonishing.
After flooding Runan, it would be easy to flood Cao Cao's army camp as well.
But from now on, Yuan Shu's reputation, especially in the eyes of the powerful families, will almost surpass Dong Zhuo's and become the new bottom line!
The Fire King of the Great Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongying!
Yuan Gonglu, the King of the Great Han River!
Commonly known as Fire Boy and Water Boy.
But Yuan Shu no longer cared about this.
As long as I win and gain the world, no matter how many bad things I do, future generations will still praise me.
Why?
Because I am the founding emperor!
Harboring the dream of defeating Cao Cao's army, Yuan Shu commanded his soldiers to charge towards the dam.
Cavalrymen weren't completely unable to traverse mountain roads; their speed would simply be slower.
But just as the first cavalry unit of three hundred men set off towards the mountainside, countless logs and rocks began to fall from the sky!
"Boom! Boom!"
On the narrow mountain path, more than half of the first group of three hundred cavalrymen were smashed into mincemeat!
"This……"
"That traitor Cao actually saw through my intentions?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"This dam is very well hidden; only people within the Yuan family know about it."
"Could it be that those old geezers betrayed me?"
Hatred flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes.
At that moment, he directly pinned the blame on the elders of the Yuan family.
He didn't believe that anyone in Cao Cao's camp could anticipate the enemy's moves, and he certainly didn't believe that his water attack plan would be seen through!
But sometimes, you really shouldn't underestimate tomb raiders.
Especially a genius like Guo Jia.
This time, if Guo Jia hadn't reminded him, no matter how much Su Yu guessed, he probably wouldn't have imagined that Yuan Shu had such a crazy plan!
He drowned himself!
Is this kind of strategy something a normal human being could come up with?
But Yuan Shu had long since gone mad.
At this moment, Yuan Shu ignored the rolling logs and rocks and continued to order the remaining cavalry to charge towards the mountainside!
More and more cavalrymen were crushed to death, but some gritted their teeth and charged forward.
As they drew ever closer to the dam, the cavalrymen's eyes were filled with madness.
The next moment, a barrage of arrows rained down from the sky, turning them into pincushions.
Xu Huang, holding a stone-piercing axe, stood firmly by the dike, acting as the last line of defense.
The dike must never be destroyed.
Otherwise, Runan, with its tens of thousands of people, would be flooded in an instant and become a forbidden area.
Yuan Shu himself broke through the two waves of attacks, including rolling logs, boulders, and arrows.
All the cavalrymen around him were protecting him.
As more and more cavalrymen fell, Yuan Shu roared:
"Get out of my way!"
In that instant, Yuan Shu seemed to be a born cavalry commander, his long-hidden talent for commanding troops was suddenly activated!
but……
A noob is still a noob.
Yuan Shu's charge was quickly stopped by Xu Huang and Cao Cao's elite troops.
Want to get closer to the dam?
There are no doors!
The rain poured down relentlessly, soaking Yuan Shu's brows, mouth, and armor.
But at this moment, all he wanted was to win.
Zhong Chao can't just be a joke!
suddenly.
Yuan Shu felt that the wind around him had become much stronger.
Behind them, a group of about seven or eight hundred people had appeared out of nowhere!
Although Yuan Shu still had over a thousand cavalrymen left.
But under the resistance of this force, the cavalry began to quickly scatter.
"I can win!!!"
Yuan Shu roared wildly to the sky.
Perhaps, with one more charge, he could break through Xu Huang's defenses and destroy the dam!
He wins as long as he destroys the dam!
It was so close...
Just a little!
But reality is not a game, and whoever becomes emperor is not necessarily awesome.
Zhang Liao's Aolong Blade killed one of Yuan Shu's personal guards after another.
In the blink of an eye, they were less than three meters away from Yuan Shu.
"Hehehehe, hahahahaha..."
"I am the Son of Heaven, the True Dragon!"
"I will not be afraid!"
Suddenly, Yuan Shu unleashed an unprecedented burst of power, twisted his horse's head, and fled towards the outside of the mountains.
Yuan Shu's warhorses were exceptionally fine, selected from among the best, and were very fast.
but……
Never underestimate Zhang Liao's offensive capabilities!
At the exit of the mountain path, a hundred soldiers who had been ambushed by Zhang Liao suddenly emerged from the bushes on both sides!
Yes, he only brought seven hundred men with him during the raid just now.
He firmly believed that Xu Huang would be able to defend the dike.
However, Yuan Shu's troops were cavalry, and their movement speed was simply too fast.
To prevent Yuan Shu from escaping, Zhang Liao kept an extra trick up his sleeve.
Several tripwires appeared in the hands of the hundred soldiers.
Yuan Shu's warhorse leaped forward, but still stepped on the trip rope, which lifted him high into the air and then threw him to the ground.
As Cao Cao's soldiers drew ever closer, Yuan Shu's eyes were filled with resentment.
Did he... fail after all?
So be it, forcibly declaring oneself emperor is perhaps an act against the will of Heaven.
Zhang Liao appeared beside Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu looked up at him, arrogantly raising his chin:
“I am the Great Zhong Emperor, and there is no reason for me to be a prisoner.”
“Kill me and hand over my head to Cao Mengde.”
Hesitation appeared in Zhang Liao's eyes.
He originally wanted to use Yuan Shu's blood to prove himself.
But at this moment, I don't crave it as much anymore.
Killing Yuan Shu was ultimately not as exciting as the thrill of moving back and forth among an army of 100,000!
For a brief moment just now, Yuan Shu might have truly resembled a wise ruler.
He personally led the charge, preferring death to surrender.
Unfortunately, many talented people emerged during the late Han Dynasty.
None of the various warlords were easy to deal with.
Among them, Yuan Shu's abilities could at best be considered slightly above average.
He was dealt a royal flush at the start, but failed to make good use of it.
"You're not going to kill me, are you?"
"Then I'll do it myself!"
Yuan Shu drew his sword and plunged it into his chest without hesitation!
From the day he proclaimed himself emperor, he had envisioned this possible scenario.
The only regret is that this happened too quickly.
It was almost time; Yuan Shu had only been emperor for a little over two months.
"I hope that Ji Ling and Yang Hong can protect Yin'er after they reunite with him."
"My great Zhong is not dead yet!"
"The Imperial Seal of the State is still in Yin'er's hands!"
"But I'm suddenly so thirsty!"
"I want...I want...to drink honey water again..."
……
PS: After thinking about it, I still decided not to let Yuan Shu die on his deathbed, his body rotting and no one caring about him.
In the end, he was given a departure that wasn't glamorous, but at least not so frustrating.
Even if I die in battle, it will be for the emperor's dream and the Zhongchao dream in my heart!
