Chapter 274

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry, since the prime minister has suggested a water attack, then we will attack by water, I will gather people now, take advantage of the heavy rain, I will immediately dig the Jinjiang water!" Li Jing shouted solemnly.

"Good!" Tang Yu responded.

In Jingzhou City, seeing the continuous heavy rain and cold wind, Ye Yuanba was so worried.

Originally, he wanted to take Yangzhou City in one go, but he never dreamed that it would suddenly rain heavily, and it didn't matter this time, it had been raining for more than ten days.

Now that it is autumn, after heavy rain, the soldiers are susceptible to wind and cold, in order to stabilize the overall situation, Ye Yuanba had to decide to wait for the weather to clear before attacking Yangzhou City.

Qin Mang took advantage of this opportunity to dispatch troops from the rear.

It's just that the Tang Dynasty has a limited number of soldiers, and even if he continues to transfer troops, the number is very few after all.

"It's finally clear!"

"No problem!" Ye Yuanhong responded.

Inside Fengming Mountain, seeing that the sky was gradually clearing, Tang Yu's face became gloomy.

Remember https://m in a second.

He found Meng Tian and asked, "How is it?" Hasn't Li Jing done it yet? ”

"Your Highness, the Jinjiang River is too far away from Jingzhou City, and there are many underground stones, it is extremely difficult to excavate, now that the sky is clear, Li Jing and they dare not blatantly construct it, in case it is discovered by the Chu army, our plan will be discovered!" Meng Tian said solemnly.

Tang Yu waved his hand: "No, it's been too long, I can't afford to wait, and the defenders in Yangzhou City can't afford to wait, in this way, Meng Tian, you lead 10,000 brothers to build a raft on the mountain, and I will lead the remaining 40,000 brothers to support Li Jing, be sure to finish digging the ditch before tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Meng Tian replied.

After the order was completed, Tang Yu did not hesitate to reinforce Li Jing with an army of 40,000.

With the arrival of 40,000 people, the total number of people on Li Jing's side reached 140,000, and 140,000 people were excavating at the same time.

The next morning, the ditch was finally dug up, and Tang Yu was so tired that he sat on the ground.

Li Jing asked excitedly: "Your Highness, are we going to attack us when we go into the water?" ”

"Shoot! Gotta shot! ”

Tang Yu nodded solemnly and said: "Even if the Chu army is flooded, with our 50,000 manpower, I am afraid we will not be able to keep busy, you must help, but the efficiency must be fast, be sure to clean up the battlefield before Qin Mang arrives, and then you continue to lie dormant in secret!" ”

"General Li, you must know that you are the trump card in my hand, and there will be battles in the court in the future, since it is a trump card, it can't be exposed prematurely, understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Jing respectfully responded.

Just when the Chu army led by Ye Yuanba in Jingzhou City thought that it was about to break through Yangzhou City, a danger came.
