Chapter 238: Actual Plan
It's getting dark, and night is coming.
When Qu Tutong stepped on the city wall again and saw the small ditch connecting the city wall at the bottom, he immediately understood the other party's intentions.
They wanted to use water to break down the layers of rammed earth and destroy the inner layers of the walls, as they had done before.
Although he didn't know how the other party had destroyed the outer layer, the inner layer of the city wall must not be destroyed.....
"Yao Junsu, you take someone to reinforce the inner layer of the city wall, especially the location they destroyed."
"Yes." Yao Junsu immediately sent people to start reinforcing the city wall.
Qu Tutong looked at the ditch below again and instructed the soldiers defending the city: "No matter what you throw, cut off the ditch at the bottom." ”
There happened to be some bricks and tiles on the city wall that had just been delivered, and I don't know who they had removed from them.
There are also some rockery stones, which at first glance are transported from large households.
Two soldiers picked up a large rock and smashed it down.
"Bang~"
The location is out of the way and it falls next to the ditch.
However, this loud noise successfully attracted the attention of Wang Yu and others.
"Xiao Yu'er, are you going to move away?" Wang Kangda asked.
Wang Yu waved his hand: "I didn't cut off the water source, don't worry about it." ”
"Bang~"
Hit the ditch and instantly broke the ditch in two.
"It's cut off, I'm going to move the bricks away." Wang Kangda was about to go.
Wang Yu stopped him: "Don't worry, take a look." ”
Wang Kangda then retracted his steps.
After a while, seeing that the Sui army was no longer throwing things, Wang Yu instructed Wang Kangda: "Go and move, just remove the bricks blocking the ditch, don't worry about the rest." ”
He also instructed Hao Shou and a few people: "A few of you help cover up." ”
Under the cover of Hao Shou and others, Wang Kangda successfully moved the masonry.
Sui Jun threw it again, and Wang Kangda moved it again.
In this way, you come and go, and in the end, the Sui army has nothing to do, so he raised the weapon in his hand and threw it down.
Qu Tutong was dumbfounded, and then became angry: "You also throw weapons?" Is this battle still fought? ”
The soldier looked innocent: "You said, no matter what you throw, just cut off the ditch." ”
But in their hearts, they secretly said that if this battle could not be fought, they would have stopped fighting a long time ago.
Qu Tutong: "......"
Taking a deep breath, Qu Tutong suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "You can't throw weapons, and then find other things to smash down." ”
Wang Yu at the bottom saw the suspicions, and immediately ordered Wang Kangda to pick up the things on the ditch and restore the circulation of the ditch.
Li Jing sighed: "It seems that this ditch has to be guarded all the time." Not only do you have to prevent the other party from cutting off the flow of water, but you also have to keep adding water. ”
"You don't have to keep it up all the time."
Hearing Wang Yu's words, Li Jing looked over: "Why? ”
Wang Yu opened his hands, closed his eyes and quietly felt for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the starlight in his eyes was rippling, and his eyes contained the light of confidence.
She lightly lifted her red lips: "Because, it's going to rain soon, and it's going to rain for a long time." ”
Li Jing couldn't help but look up, the sky was dark, but at this hour, it was already dark in the early winter, and he couldn't see anything.
He opened his hands like Wang Yu and quietly felt it, there was wind, but it was not big.
It shouldn't be a sign of rain.
This little girl was chattering, as if Li Yuan had determined the day of the expedition, and she used the Bodhisattva as an excuse to let Li Yuan listen to her.
However, he did not believe in ghosts and gods.
Li Jing raised the corners of his lips, and a trace of ridicule crossed his eyes.
"Hey, why is there a lot less in the Xuanjia Army?"
Li Jing counted in his heart, and the Xuanjia army here had changed from the original hundred to ten.
"Where did the others go?"
Wang Yu replied casually: "Oh, I let them collect firewood." ”
Li Jing: "......"
Well, that's probably one of the tasks as well.
Half an hour later, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky, and in less than a quarter of an hour, raindrops the size of beans fell from the sky.
"Is it really raining?"
Li Jing looked at the sky, a little confused.
The soldier held an umbrella and hurriedly ran over, "Deputy Marshal, go back to the camp tent quickly." ”
Li Jing took the umbrella and propped it on Wang Yu's head: "Xiao Yu'er, go back with me, I will send someone to guard here." ”
"Okay."
-------
Sure enough, as Wang Yu said, this rain has been raining for a long time, for two days and one night. It wasn't until the evening of the third day that the rain stopped.
In those two days, the entire Hedong region was shrouded in mist, and everything was hazy and unreal.
"It's the third day."
In the big tent, all the generals looked at Wang Yu.
The eldest grandson, Shunde, reminded her: "After tonight, if you still can't break through a city gate, your mission will be considered a failure." ”
Someone went on to say: "It will be dealt with by military law." ”
Although it is cruel to let a little doll be dealt with by military law, the rules and regulations in the military cannot be broken.
Wang Yu picked up the teacup with a calm expression and took a sip: "Didn't you notice that there is one person missing?" ”
Hearing this, everyone immediately searched the tent, and sure enough, they found that there was one person missing.
"Huh~ Where did the Left Commander go?"
The eldest grandson Shunde looked at Li Jing: "Deputy Marshal, did you send Liu Hongji to do a secret mission?" ”
"Nope." Li Jing was also puzzled in his heart.
He suddenly realized that Liu Hongji had appeared very few times in the past two days, and basically disappeared.
"Go and find it."
As soon as Li Jing ordered the soldiers to find someone, Liu Hongji raised the curtain and entered: "I'm here." ”
The eldest grandson, Shunde, took a few steps towards Liu Hongji and whispered, "Where have you been?" The deputy marshal convened the generals to discuss the meeting, and you dare to be late? ”
"Sorry, I'm late." Liu Hongji clenched his fist at Li Jing.
Then he walked up to Wang Yu, suppressed the joy in his heart and said: "Xiao Yu'er, fortunately, we succeeded." ”
"Okay." Wang Yu got up abruptly and patted Liu Hongji's arm, his excitement overflowing.
Everyone was full of suspicions, and someone asked: "Zuo Tongjun, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Hongji smiled at him: "Let's let Xiao Yu'er tell everyone." ”
Everyone looked at Wang Yu again.
Wang Yu walked to the middle clearing, put his hands behind his back, and said to everyone while pacing: "Presumably, everyone has also seen that the Xuanjia army has destroyed part of the city wall, and the Sui army is frantically preventing us from destroying the city wall. ”
Everyone nodded, yes, they still admired her for this matter.
"It's just that the rammed earth layer is too thick, and it will take some time to destroy, as well as the stone layer inside. If I had been given more time, I would have opened a gate in the wall, but the lieutenant only gave me three days....."
Li Jing was speechless, obviously she asked for only three days.
"Therefore, destroying the city wall and attacking the city is my superficial plan, which is used to attract the attention of the Sui army."
The eyes of the crowd widened, listening to the meaning of this, this is not the real method of her siege?
Wang Yu stopped in front of Li Jing and said to his stunned eyes: "My actual plan is to repair the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark.
"The ostensible destruction of the city walls with great fanfare creates the illusion that our troops are going to destroy the walls directly.
"Actually, we have a different method of attacking the city......"
