Chapter 657: Trapped in the Mountain
But just when everyone was excited, Yun Xiaoshuang noticed that something was wrong, she frowned and looked at Wancheng below, waiting for a long time without waiting for what she was waiting for.
"Everyone, be careful, something is wrong."
Yun Xiaoshuang frowned tightly, looked at the completion below, and then waved his hand to quiet everyone, and then said.
"What's wrong? I think it's pretty good, you see that Wancheng has been flooded, and your plan has succeeded, so let's just wait for the water level to drop. ”
The eighth prince didn't care about her words, but pointed to the completion triumphantly, looking confident.
Seeing him like this, Yun Xiaoshuang suddenly became speechless, if everything can be as simple as she thinks, then there will be no such difficult things in the world.
There was obviously something wrong below, but the Eighth Prince still didn't find it, and Zhao Mocheng also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
"By the way, you see, Wancheng was flooded like this, and no one ran out, although there were no people in the city, but there was still a garrison."
"It is impossible for this kind of flood to directly submerge everyone, and it will definitely escape, but there is no one."
Yun Xiaoshuang pointed to Wancheng below and said loudly, at this time, the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng were also like Daigo empowerment, and finally knew that something was wrong.
As Yun Xiaoshuang said, although Wancheng has been flooded, it is impossible not to escape, but there is only one reason for this situation now, that is, Wancheng is an empty city.
"We're fooled, hurry down the mountain, or it'll be too late."
Yun Xiaoshuang acted at this time, greeting everyone loudly, and the soldiers reacted immediately, and hurriedly prepared to set off.
However, at this moment, the spies from the bottom of the mountain ran up, with an arrow stuck in their bodies, obviously wounded, and blood flowing from the corners of their mouths.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, we are already surrounded, I don't know where the army came from, it is densely packed with people, I don't know how many people, the whole mountain is surrounded, we can't go down."
The man fell to the ground, and then reported what he had discovered, Yun Xiaoshuang waved his hand, and immediately several soldiers carried him down for treatment.
At this time, she and Zhao Mocheng's faces were directly gloomy, they had a good plan, but in the end they were fooled, it seems that King Hecheng had already set up a trap, just waiting for them to jump in.
"How could this be, when I went to investigate Wancheng before, I saw that there was a garrison in the city? When did they remove the garrison? We didn't even find out. ”
The eighth prince was puzzled at this time, and it was for fear of accidentally hurting the people, so he sent someone to investigate.
As a result, there were no people in the city, only the garrison in the city, so they did it, but now they found that Wancheng was actually an empty city.
"It's too normal, this is a trap set by King Hecheng, only if there is enough bait, we will fall into the trap."
"And the completed garrison is the bait, but we didn't think about it so much, we started it directly, this time it was miserable, we were surrounded, and it was not easy to rush down."
Yun Xiaoshuang frowned, and said softly, in the end, she was too careless, but she didn't know who leaked the news.
Normally, there is no problem with her analysis, and King Hecheng would definitely not have thought that they would cross Wumei Mountain and then come to the Huangcheng River to open the gate and release water.
But he made the arrangements in advance, and there must be news leaked out in advance, so that King Hecheng would be fully prepared.
"That's not right, there are only 70,000 garrisons in Yuzhou, plus 40,000 people from Jiangzhou, a total of only 110,000."
"Even if you count the 30,000 people of the Qiang tribe, there are only 140,000 in total, how did you surround this mountain, if you want to achieve this level, it is completely impossible to do it without an army of more than 200,000."
Zhao Mocheng also spoke, calculated the strength of King Hecheng, and found that if he wanted to surround this mountain, the 140,000 army was completely insufficient.
Hearing his words, Yun Xiaoshuang continued to walk up, and came directly to the top of the mountain, and suddenly found that he was indeed surrounded, and the number of people on the other side definitely exceeded 200,000.
Zhao Mocheng and the Eighth Prince also followed behind her, and they were also shocked when they saw this posture, this is an army of more than 200,000 people, and no one knows how King Hecheng conjured up so many troops.
The people they brought from the capital, plus the support of Mengzhou, and then the army of Haizhou, the total was only about 170,000, and the other side actually exceeded 200,000.
This is miserable, they are on this mountain at this time, and the water source is directly cut off, if you want to go to the Huangcheng River, you need to climb another mountain.
Because after they opened the gate and released the water, they came to this mountain, which is closer to Wancheng and can occupy Wancheng faster.
But at this time it became a disadvantage, because this hill was directly surrounded, they could not go to the other hill, and the water source was cut off.
"What should we do now, the water source has been cut off, we can't hold on at all, and there are more than 200,000 troops below, and it is estimated that it will be a dead end to rush down."
The eighth prince was also racking his brains at this time to think of a way, but there was no good way, so he could only hurriedly circle on the ground.
Yun Xiaoshuang didn't speak, carefully observed the troops below, and found that many of the clothes worn by these troops were different, and they might not have come out of one army.
And at this moment, she thought of a possibility, after all, no matter how powerful King He Cheng is, it is impossible to conjure up troops out of thin air, so there must be traces to follow.
"If I'm not mistaken, some of these people are the army of King Hecheng, and some are sent by the surrounding states and counties, it seems that King Hecheng has a lot of reinforcements,"
Yun Xiaoshuang said lightly, that's right, this is her guess, and it is the most likely guess.
Even if he transferred all the troops in Jiangzhou, it would not be possible to exceed 200,000, so this is the most likely.
What's more, if the surrounding states and counties are indeed on the side of King Hecheng, it is normal for their plans to be leaked.
When he was in Haicheng before, the Eighth Prince sent someone to report to the surrounding states and counties, and after coming out, he went to urge again.
Although he concealed their purpose and strategy, they could have sent people to Yanggu to guard it, and without waiting for them, he naturally guessed that they were leaving Wumei Mountain.
And there is also a possibility that someone did leak the news, but it is difficult to find the person who leaked the news.
"What should I do, otherwise break through, there is no water source here, and our own water source can't support it for long, if we don't break through, it will be a dead end sooner or later."
"And the opponent's forces surround a mountain, so scattered, maybe we can break through with our combined forces."
The eighth prince proposed to break through at this time, of course, this is also a way, and as he said, the opponent's forces are scattered, and he may be able to break through.
But how can things be so simple, Yun Xiaoshuang glanced at him helplessly, and his face drooped.
"It's not that simple, although their forces are scattered, but they are so besieging this mountain, don't you think we will break through? Don't take your opponent for a fool, even if he really is. ”
"So you see that there are so many of them on the surface, but you don't know how many people are hidden."
"And this formation is waiting for us to break through, they are closely linked to each other, and it won't take ten minutes to support, and if we break through, we will die directly."
Yun Xiaoshuang pointed to the people below and explained to him, she didn't know this method of arranging troops, but she could see the advantages and disadvantages of this method of arranging troops at a glance.
But she didn't know that Zhao Mocheng, who was familiar with military books, knew very well that this method of arranging troops was used to besiege the city, which was more advanced than what he used before.
This arrangement allows all the troops to be tightly linked, and if one is attacked, all the troops can feel it, and it will not take more than ten minutes to support each other.
"Then what should we do, we still have a chance to break through, there is no water source now, if we don't break through, there is only a dead end."
The eighth prince was also anxious at this time, he was not afraid of death, but he was very unwilling to die here before the matter was done.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a way, think about it, let's go down and reorganize the army first, otherwise the troops may be chaotic."
Yun Xiaoshuang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, then walked down and directly reorganized the army.
Although most of the troops were brought out by the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng, the execution was particularly strong, and they were calm in case of trouble.
But when the three of them were not here, these soldiers were also flustered, after all, the current situation was completely surrounded, there was no gap, and there was still a water source, so everyone would be flustered.
But fortunately, the three of them came down in time, with the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng here, it was not a big problem to comfort and suppress this army.
Yun Xiaoshuang looked around to observe the situation below, but there was no way, she was usually wise, but now she was deflated.
Because in her opinion, she has entered a desperate situation at this time, and she has already entered a desperate situation when this mountain is surrounded, and it is not possible to break through, and it is even more difficult to stay here.
"You don't have to stress too much, I know you've done your best, and we're definitely not going to die here."
Zhao Mocheng came to her side, and it could be seen that she was very anxious, and then comforted her.
Hearing Zhao Mocheng's voice, she was relieved, she and Zhao Mocheng had experienced so much, and even more dangerous situations than this had also been experienced, but they were still alive and well.
And this time, when encountering this situation, the most important thing to avoid is to panic, and you must calm down before you can think of a good way to break the enemy.
